Chapter 297: Taking advantage of the chaos to escape
On the screen, an extremely bright beam of light appeared, but outside the porthole of the "Tianjiao", it was still black.
Seeing the information displayed on the screen, Yang Yi and the others immediately frowned.
The Phantom battleship uses a space weapon powered by Primal Energy, and the beam on the screen is the channel through which Primordial Energy is transmitted. The principle of this weapon is simple, concentrating the original energy into a single point, causing the collapse of space. If this point is inside the star, it will cause the star to collapse.
The star system in which the space fortress is located is very ordinary, and the main-sequence star is a very ordinary yellow dwarf. Collapsing from within, the yellow dwarf will explode and eject most of the material out of the galaxy, sweeping through everything in the galaxy and destroying all the planets in the system. If, at the time of collapse, additional mass and energy are obtained from the outside world, a singularity will be created after the explosion. Only when there is enough energy and mass from outside will it become a stable black hole. If there is not enough energy and mass from outside, it will be difficult to stabilize even if it transforms into a black hole, and it will quickly disappear, that is, it will transform into the ubiquitous original energy in the universe.
Obviously, regardless of whether the star turns into a black hole or not, all life in the star system will be wiped out.
In the blink of an eye, the beam, which was invisible to the naked eye and could only be detected by the instrument, hit the star. Immediately, a set of numbers appeared on the screen.
Although it could not prevent the enemy ship from destroying the star, the "Tianjiao" was able to detect the energy output of the enemy ship and deduce the destruction process of the star from it.
Soon, that set of numbers turned yellow.
Yang Yi's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he glanced at Yujiao, who was standing next to him.
Yujiao just pursed her mouth and didn't say anything.
There is only one factor that determines how a star is destroyed, and that is the energy that enemy ships send to the interior of the star. The numbers turn yellow. This indicates that the minimum amount of energy required to cause the star to collapse from the inside has been exceeded, i.e., the star will collapse even if the enemy ship stops pumping energy into the star.
It's just that the numbers are still changing.
After just a few seconds, the numbers turn red.
At this time. The amount of energy that enemy ships input into the interior of the star has exceeded the critical value for the creation of singularities. That is, stars are transformed into black holes after the Big Bang.
It was also at this time that the numbers stopped changing.
"Aaron?"
"The energy inside the star has broken through the tipping point, but it has not reached the minimum value for transforming into a permanent black hole, which is ...... at the current energy level."
"What?" Lin Feng was very surprised, feeling that he had heard it wrong.
"Colonel, black holes have formed, just limited by the speed of light. We have not detected black holes yet, nor have we been affected by them. ”
"How much time is left?"
"Fifteen minutes, maybe less."
At this point, a red sphere appears on the screen. Obviously, this is the inescapable region of the black hole. Because it is a naturally occurring black hole, the minimum escape velocity is the speed of light, and after the black hole is fully formed, as long as it is in the inescapable region. Even moving at the speed of light can't escape.
"Where are we?"
A green dot of light appears on the screen, and it is within a red spherical area.
"Because the speed of transmission of the gravitational field is the speed of light. So we're not affected by the black hole for the time being, we're just ......"
"How much longer?" Yang Yi didn't say much wordy, and asked directly.
"I've taken full control of this spaceship, but the spacecraft is equipped with more advanced space jumping devices than anything I've been exposed to before, and I can't control it for the time being."
"How long!?" Lin Feng was very impatient.
"I didn't know how much time it would take to get under control until I learned about the system. And make space jumps. ”
"Now, can you start it?"
"Yes, it's just ......"
"Immediately do the pre-space pre-space preparation work, and start as soon as you're in full control."
"But ......"
"It's an order, carry it out."
Aaron didn't dwell on it. According to Yang Yi's instructions, he started to activate the space jumping device.
"Look."
Hearing Shen Chengwen's words, Yang Yi and the others looked out of the porthole.
The "Tianjiao" was mixed in with the fugitive team, surrounded by all kinds of pirate ships, and most of them were small ships comparable to the "Tianjiao". In fact, compared with the surrounding pirate ships, the "Tianjiao" is the smallest spaceship, and it is also the most inconspicuous.
Although the "Tianjiao" maintained its speed and was still slowly accelerating, several small ships had already begun to slow down.
This is not a good sign.
Although gravity is transmitted through a gravitational field, which travels at the speed of light, the space distortion caused by a black hole is a quantum effect, i.e., not limited by the speed of light. In other words, those ships that are starting to slow down are affected by the space warp, and their own thrust cannot counteract the drag caused by the space warp.
In this race against the speed of light, slowing down means losing.
Not to mention those pirate ships, even the "Tianjiao", as long as they start to slow down, it means that they can't escape, and then they will fall into a black hole.
All around, more and more ships began to slow down, and even the few ships that were still accelerating had their acceleration much lower.
"Aaron, control the speed."
"Major?"
"Don't fly too fast." Yang Yi reminded Aaron.
Now, it's not just the black hole in the back that needs to be considered, but also the Hidden Spirit Clan's battleship. If the "Tianjiao" takes the lead in rushing to the front, even if the appearance is inconspicuous, it will be targeted by that battleship. The enemy directly destroys the star, and inputs enough energy into the star to transform into a black hole, and will not let a ship go. As long as the "Tianjiao" flies too fast, it will be directly destroyed by enemy ships.
Luckily, there are thousands of pirate ships that have escaped from the Space Fortress, and there are thousands of smaller pirate ships flying ahead. Although many pirate ships have been left behind, there are still hundreds of pirate ships struggling to resist, and the "Tianjiao" is inconspicuous among them.
"Major, Origin Wave detected."
"What?"
"Directly ahead, the distance is less than 10 million kilometers, and it is preliminarily inferred that it is a broken original energy wall."
Yang Yi was taken aback. I didn't react at once.
"Slow down!" Lin Feng suddenly came back to his senses and gave an order to Aaron.
"Colonel ......"
"Now, slow down!"
Under Aaron's control, the "Tianjiao" began to slow down. Because there are a lot of pirate ships that have slowed down, the "Tianjiao" does not stand out.
At this time, Yang Yi and others also reacted.
Fluctuations in the Origin Ahead. In fact, it is a shield of primordial energy. Obviously, the Hidden Spirit Clan's warship didn't want a spaceship to escape from here, and it was obviously a very troublesome thing to use ordinary weapons to deal with the fleeing pirate ship, so this Origin Barrier was created.
Blocked by the Origin Barrier, no pirate ship was able to escape.
Even if the pirate ship will not be destroyed after hitting the Origin Barrier, it will definitely lose speed if it is blocked. Then fall into a black hole.
A short time later, several pirate ships flying in front of them crashed into the Origin Barrier. Three of them exploded instantly, and several others slowed down significantly.
Almost at the same time, a cry for help came from the loudspeaker.
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, only to find that it was Yujiao who turned on the megaphone and connected to the public communication channel.
It was the pirates on the pirate ships who cried out for help, so desperate that some even cried loudly. It's more of a swearing, though.
"Aaron?"
"Major, I've mastered the space jumping device. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% controlled, it is already operational. ”
Yang Yi let out a long breath, and finally did not wait in vain.
"Major, do you want to start now?"
"No, wait for my orders."
Lin Feng and the others were all taken aback, and looked at Yang Yi in disbelief. Black holes have formed. If you don't run away now, when will you wait?
Even Yujiao was surprised, but didn't say anything.
"Aaron, put the inescapable area on the screen, dynamic information. Keep up to date with changes. ”
"Understood."
On the screen, a red area appears that expands at an extremely rapid pace.
Behind, the Space Fortress was already in the red zone, and most of the pirate ships that had begun to slow down had also fallen into the red zone.
Because of the deceleration, the "Tianjiao" was not far from the red zone.
"Major, fifteen seconds left."
"How long does it take to activate the space jump device and enter the jump channel?"
"It won't take more than five seconds."
"Start the countdown."
"Twelve, eleven...... VII. VII. ......"
"Start, start now!"
In front of the "Tianjiao", an extremely bright white point of light appeared, and then expanded into the entrance to the space jump channel.
At the same time, several similar spots of light appeared in the vicinity.
Obviously, it wasn't just the Tianjiao that activated the space jump device at the last minute. Although the space jumping devices on those pirate ships were not as advanced as the Tianjiao, and could not ensure that the exit was in the right place, there was at least one chance of surviving the space jump compared to falling into a black hole, even if it was extremely slim.
In fact, at this time, others had already understood Yang Yi's intentions.
The Hidden Spirit warship had apparently anticipated what might happen in the aftermath of the attack, and had made adequate preparations, such as creating the Origin Barrier to prevent the pirate ship from escaping. Obviously, the enemy ship must have been watching all the fugitive pirate ships and was ready to attack. As long as a pirate ship breaches the Origin Barrier, it will be attacked. In addition, if a pirate ship activates the space jump device, it will definitely be detected if it enters the space jump channel. Obviously, if the "Tianjiao" makes a space jump in advance, it will be targeted by enemy ships. Space jumping with other pirate ships, even if you get targeted, at least won't be noticed.
In the eyes of the enemy, the "Tianjiao" is no different from other pirate ships, and the space jump at this time is just a struggle before death.
As the "Tianjiao" entered, the white light flashed out, and the space passage closed. (To be continued......)
