Chapter 4: Speed and Beyond

Dr. Mel did not blame Dolly and David for their betrayal, he only developed technology, stayed in Ark 1 for a long time, survived with ideology, and did not have more effort to understand the outside world, the policies of the various city-states, and the situation of the two life forms.

He has contributed enough to the humans of New Blue Star, without these techniques he developed, the life of humans here would only be worse, and for clones and robots, he has a certain amount of guilt, he created them himself, but he didn't care about them well.

Xia Long lamented the gap in life, Dr. Mel could live for thousands of years with technology, but his grandfather was struggling; Humans may be a little better, clones and robots are only used by humans to perform dangerous tasks, and they can be abandoned at any time.

Mel has completely convinced Xia Long, don't think about not cooperating, with Cass's means, he will definitely not let go of Xia Long who has been in contact with him at that time. Xia Long has been growing food for Mel for several years, and it is easy to associate eating people with short mouths and secretly teaching a little scientific and technological knowledge to Xia Long, and Cass is not here for Mel's scientific and technological knowledge to put it bluntly?

It didn't take long to pack up some things, such as some agricultural products, the seeds left by his grandfather, Xia Long came to the bottom of the warehouse, here is Mel's private workshop, the space is very large, all kinds of equipment are complete, and the traces of continuous use can be vaguely seen, the most striking thing is a spaceship, covering an area of about 500 square meters.

Xia Long felt that it was a high-tech product at a glance, the spaceship was silver and white, and there was no trace of splicing and stitching, the only flaw was that there was no wing and such a thing, which was definitely not comparable to the "red rabbit" spliced out by himself, and the hull of the spaceship had several eye-catching fonts: life, freedom.

This is, the four figures came quietly, all dressed in the same costume, but the numbers on their chests were different, 1 to 4, indicating the difference in their identities, No. 1 stared at Xia Long and said, "Who are you, you are not the master, Dr. Mel, how did you get here?" If you don't get recognized, we'll get rid of you right away! ”

Xia Long scratched his head, took out the data box and said, "I'm Xia Long, this was given to me by Dr. Mel, so it's okay, right?" Who are you? ”

Three sparked two lights in his eyes, scanning the data box, and after a while he said, "No problem, you can use the 'Life Freedom' ship, the four of us are the builders of this spaceship, and Dr. Mel's hidden servants, only he knows our identity!" No. 1 and No. 2 are clones, and I and No. 4 are robots. ”

At this time, Xia Long felt a strong vibration on the ground, and No. 4 suddenly said: "It's not good, I just received an encrypted message from the master, his situation is not very good, Tulip has already gone to deal with your grandfather's affairs." Xia Long, you are driving the Life Freedom away now, the four of us can't go with you, but we will join you later! ”

Entering the cockpit, it was pitch black, only a little red light flashed violently, and immediately the sound of the spaceship computer was heard: No authorized personnel entered, please show proof, otherwise you will be removed.

Xia Long hurriedly raised the data box above his head, and he was about to remove himself at every turn, this is a serious threat! A ray of light shines on the data box, and the voice of the computer appears again: Level 1 authorization confirmation, welcome, driver! If you want to upgrade your privileges, find the mothership and join it!

After the sound was finished, the cockpit was lit like sunlight, and Xia Long was also entertained by some robot arms, and the original protective clothing was destroyed and replaced with a more close-fitting one, Xia Long quickly felt that this was a set of high-end goods.

Then Xia Long was pulled into a seat, let out a miserable scream, the spine on his back seemed to be pricked, and the computer's prompt sound appeared again: Scan begins! Blood, spinal fluid, bone certification completed; Fingerprint and voice authentication completed; Brain waves, brain lines, and retina authentication are complete, and the scan is over! Motorists, if there are no more advanced hacking methods, the Life Freedom will only be piloted by you for the time being! ”

At this time, the data box has been placed on the operation interface in front of the robot arm, and the buttons of various colors began to flash, and after Xia Long came here, he said the first sentence: "Can I ask, as a pilot, how should I operate this spaceship?" That is, you. ”

The computer speaks: just send instructions, I will try my best to execute, all kinds of data information, I will prompt in time, if there is no need I will deal with it myself, if necessary, you will issue instructions.

Xia Long's mood is too excited now, high-tech, he doesn't have to do it at all, just say a word. In the cockpit, Dr. Mel's voice came: "Xia Long, hurry up, Cass is about to catch me, remember to help me, there is a chance to go to Earth to see if my relatives are still there!" ”

Without waiting for Xia Long to react, the computer's voice immediately followed: now prioritize Dr. Mel's instructions, activate the invisibility effect, activate the barrier, and take off! Destination E Star Ring area, currently available energy 60%, backup energy 100%.

A series of data and images were displayed on a three-dimensional screen in front of Xia Long, who could see that the ship was out of the ground, but did not feel any vibrations; There is an exit in the workshop, and the ship starts to depart along it! The warehouse and workshop in the rear kept coming from the sound of collapse, and the original planting warehouse began to explode.

Xia Long was shocked, because of high technology, a guy as big as Life Freedom, from receiving the order to starting to fly, it was only a short time, and there was no sound. The stealth effect is still difficult to understand, but it is terrifying to apply the barrier technique to a place as small as a spaceship, and the barrier is currently only used in various city-states and satellite fortresses.

When Xia Long's new spaceship appeared in City-State No. 1, he had already seen that the original warehouse was not in shape, and Cass commanded his men to loot the agricultural products he had worked so hard to grow, even some of the moldy ones!

I thought I would be attacked immediately, but it was as if I hadn't seen any of the nearby ships. Smoothly came to the edge of the city-state, and the computer voice appeared again: I found that the barrier was blocked, and it was impossible to pass through directly, it is recommended to use electromagnetic attacks, please confirm the driver!

With Xia Long's consent, the barrier of City State 1 was attacked by the Life Freedom, an attack that could not be seen by the eyes, but a crack appeared in the barrier of City State, and Xia Long also took the opportunity to leave City State 1.

The stealth effect is not absolutely invincible, but the use of bionic technology makes the appearance of the spaceship overlap with the surrounding environment, but the power system of the spaceship will definitely bring about changes in the airflow, and the movement of destroying the city-state barrier is especially obvious.

So as soon as Xia Long left the city, he saw the image of Cass in a rage from the screen inside the spaceship, which was intercepted by the Life Freedom.

Cass was roaring: "Damn Mel, how many secrets are you hiding, just now a stealth armor was enough, and now you have made a stealth spaceship, it seems that you still have accomplices." Let the satellite fortress scan all directions to find this ship, and the ships of the city-states are scattered and intercepted as soon as they receive the news! ”

Soon, a lot of spaceships gathered around Xia Long, and they attacked this area indiscriminately according to the news they received. Due to the time difference caused by several transmissions of the signal, many of them were not hit in this fierce attack, and a few attacks were also neutralized by the barrier of their own ship.

Xia Long couldn't help but sigh at the ability of the Life Freedom, this barrier effect can be much better for the city-states. The computer spoke again: a large number of hostile ships had been found, and the attack system was not equipped to effectively counterattack. Now start accelerating, open the wings, and enable semi-inertia driving!

The metal on the outside of the ship began to flow, making it more streamlined overall, and wings appeared. Xia Long couldn't see the specific situation, but an image from the screen already showed that the spaceship that had no wings had appeared!

Feeling the surprises brought by the new spaceship, Xia Long thought of a sentence from his hometown on the earth, Xia Long lost his rabbit, and he didn't know if it was a blessing! The gap between Chitu and Life Freedom is too big, and happiness comes too suddenly!

Semi-inertial driving is to stop propulsion when the speed is enough, relying on inertia to continue driving, in this process, the impact of the propulsion system on the airflow will be much smaller, plus the original stealth effect, you can avoid dense attacks, but the energy consumption is a little too large.

Xia Long was guessing that it must have been secretly built by Dr. Mel, who could not configure the spaceship with attack equipment, and the energy was not full, this thousand-year-old monster must have its own plans, but he didn't expect that as soon as the No. 1 city-state came out, it would be attacked by the other city-states.

There is a thrilling departure from New Blue Star, this is the first time Xia Long has come to space, and the silence is vast. Computer: Begin to identify the route, considering the lack of energy, the spacecraft will circle the Kepler-22D (hereinafter referred to as D star) ring area, implement gravitational acceleration, and absorb sunlight to replenish energy, and is expected to arrive in 30 days.

This makes Xia Long excited, D Star Ring is the venue of the F2 Interstellar Formula race, go around the prescribed route, the spaceship that finishes first and the fastest spaceship in seconds will get a high reward, it is a competition, it is better to say that it is a kind of strength competition among the city-states.

The requirements for participating in the competition are very simple, the spacecraft can reach a speed of 1 mile (the unit of speed you think, equal to the second cosmic speed), and with this speed you can leave the earth and go to space to achieve interstellar voyage. The rules are simpler, follow the route, no malicious attacks, and once discovered, they will be jointly attacked by other spaceships.

30 days, it is estimated that it will be able to catch up with the game time. With excitement, Xia Long rejected ideological driving, the first time he walked in space, the first time he participated in F2 races, and he must use the most real feelings.

After 1 day, the stealth effect was revoked, and the barrier was weakened to conserve energy. At this time, there is no need to worry about being pursued by Cass, even if it is a satellite fortress, it will not be able to attack, and even if it is exposed for a while, there will be no danger.

After 30 days, Xia Long turned on the stealth effect and parked low-key to the very back of the starting area of the F2 race, surrounded by a large number of race ships of all kinds. During this time, Xia Long will naturally be discovered, and according to the analysis of the navigation trajectory, a large number of warships have been sent to ambush near the D star to intercept the Life Freedom!

At the start of the F2 race, all ships are scanned to verify the information of the participating ships, as well as the identities of the insiders, and send a navigation chart. It's just that when Xia Long's spaceship was verified, the result was that the spacecraft was unknown and the personnel were unknown.

Three minutes after departure, the high-speed Freedom of Life was locked, and Cass arranged for the warship to deal with it, ignoring the rules of the event and launching an attack. And send a message to the other participating ships that they must not attack their own ships and just focus on the race.

It was easy to deal with at first, Cass's warship had not yet gathered, and it was not so easy to hit itself when sailing at high speed in the vast universe, while steadily increasing speed, while constantly dodging attacks under the computer's calculations, and following the course of the event.

Xia Long watched the spaceship that was constantly overtaking the front of him, leaving it farther and farther behind until he couldn't reach it, experiencing the excitement of speed and transcendence. As a driver, Xia Long even gave the command to attack electromagnetically, but was rejected due to lack of energy.

Charon asked the computer to intercept the official broadcast of the race, watched his own race, and listened to the commentator's passionate commentary: "Now the screen turns to an unknown spaceship, this is the first time I have encountered it in F2, the name should be 'Life Freedom', and it is displayed on the fuselage." ”

"The Life Freedom has continuously surpassed the 'Shadow Series', the 'Peregrine Falcon', and other types of spaceships, and it seems that this time except for the No. 5 city-state, the rest of the city-states have no hope of winning the championship!"

"The Life Freedom has just surpassed the blocking formation of the 10 spaceships of the 'Earth Circle 6 Series', and now the distance between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that this time the No. 5 city-state will not be able to defend the title!"

"The speed of Life Freedom is still climbing, and we'll see. Just received information from the speed monitoring system, Life Freedom has broken the F2 speed record, and I believe that the record for the finish will also be broken! Long live freedom! Long live life! ”

I have seen a collection, thank you~
