Chapter Eighty-Eight: Return to Base (Part I)
Three days later, when the Aquarius stopped warp and jumped, it resumed its normal speed. Not far in front of the giant ship is a massive planetary belt. Millions of planetary stars larger than the Moon's diameter dot the starry sky, forming a unique celestial body, like an asteroid belt magnified countless times.
There are no stars that can emit light and heat, and there are not a single habitable planets, and there are not many mineral planets with mining value.
Due to the complex terrain and the chaotic gravitational force, those mining ships with weak armor and extremely poor power did not dare to approach here at all.
Since there is no use value, this starry sky is completely barren, and no one will come for a long time.
And the base of the Restoration Army is hidden deep in this star belt near the center.
In order to enter the base of the Restoration Army near the center, it is necessary to pass through this complex terrain. Some people may think that this star belt looks very stable, and it will not easily have a chain impact due to gravitational changes like the asteroid belt, and it is enough to drive the spacecraft directly into it. As long as you are careful, there will be no danger at all. But when he actually drove the boat swaggering in, he realized how ridiculous his simple idea was. It is true that the planet here is relatively large and is not easily attracted to other planets, but you must understand that the gravitational pull of this planet itself is enough to pull the warships passing by it into its body. For planets with less gravity, with the power of the spacecraft and the role of the anti-gravity system, you can ask for it. But the gravitational pull of each planet is different, like some aging planets that have collapsed, enough to produce a gravitational force hundreds or thousands of times more than the standard gravitational force, if ordinary spaceships are attracted to it, it is definitely a death, and there is no way to escape.
The belt was first discovered by a mining company, which abandoned it after paying several exploration ships and was nationalized by the Zhao and Song empires. The Zhao Song Emperor of that generation took precautions and felt that this place was very suitable as a secret base, so he sent countless people to support the exploration of it with the financial and material resources of the state, and finally after paying the price of forty years and tens of thousands of lives, a more detailed map of the star belt and the size of the gravitational range of each planet were placed in the hands of the dying emperor.
After that, after the efforts of three generations of emperors, a top-secret base was built inside a planet in the center of the star belt.
In addition, large-scale blasting was carried out at several key nodes in the star belt, destroying the original environment there, and completely blocking some passable lines. Eventually, only one line was left to get in and out. In fact, at the last moment, if the Empress was able to detonate some nodes on that line, she could completely block the army of Iserath outside, and even take advantage of the sudden outbreak of chaos to annihilate the entire army of future invaders in one fell swoop. Only then, they too will be trapped and die here, and eventually die out completely due to the lack of necessary supplies.
However, with the empress's weak and indifferent temperament, she is destined not to choose to do that.
Now, there are many people who know the exact route to the Restoration Army, and in addition to the commanders of the ships that Iseras participated in that battle, there are also the remnants of the Restoration Army who are scattered abroad, such as Yunyi and Xiao He.
Because of this, Zagu did not choose to build this place as his secret base.
"Here...... Is that where you fought? ”
There were five or six people in the command room who were here at this time, and since Yun Yi discovered the defects of the nuclear-powered mecha, he had asked everyone to stop using the nuclear-powered mecha, and as for the reason, Yun Yi did not tell them. This matter must be notified to Paradise Island after he returns, so that the other three organizations can conduct a detailed and thorough examination and study.
The person who spoke was Aurelia, she looked at this place in a daze, which would be the place where she would need to fight for a long time, and recalled the last glory of the Zhao and Song empires back then, and couldn't help but burst with enthusiasm. And Yun Yi and Xiao He, who were in charge of piloting the spaceship, and Xi Lu Fei, Gu Lin, Hua Yonghao, and Lorraine, who were standing behind them, also watched silently here.
Hua Yonghao, Lorraine, and Hiluffis had not been here, but they had all heard about the past of the Zhao Song Empire's Restoration Army, and looked at it with curiosity.
Gu Lin's eyes were resolute, because this was the place where his father Qi Daoxue fought back then. I will also be here to reproduce the glory of my father.
As for Yun Yi and Xiao He, their expressions were solemn, and tears were already faintly flashing in their eyes......
Long.
"Let's get started?" Xiao He said to Yun Yi next to him.
Yun Yi nodded: "Let's start." ”
The giant ship under their feet needs at least 100 pilots, and in the case of insufficient personnel, they can use autopilot to navigate some simple and easy lanes, but they cannot use autopilot in such complex sections. Even Sakura can't drive the spaceship in without knowing the correct route. Now there are only two people, Yun Yi and Xiao He, and if you want to start such a huge ship, you must first compile a flight program.
The correct route and a series of data that need to be avoided and diverted along the way are fed into the optical brain to form a rough automatic navigation program.
After the program starts to run, Yunyi and Xiao He adopt the method of automatic and manual operation, and then have the cooperation of [Sakura] hidden in the light brain, so that they can safely enter this route.
In the command room, everyone stopped talking, except for the crackling sound of the two tapping on the keyboard. They knew that now Yun Yi and Xiao He could only rely on the route in their memory to complete a rough and simple route, which was a very complicated and error-prone task, so no one bothered them, just watched silently from the sidelines.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.
Yun Yi and Xiao He let out a long breath and glanced at each other, both of them seeing deep exhaustion on each other's faces.
"That's it, let's go!"
Yun Yi's expression was tired, but it was difficult to describe his excited and powerful voice. As he tapped a key on his keyboard, the giant ship slowly moved towards the star belt.
Seeing the celestial bodies of different shapes, large and small, passing over the sides of the spaceship, everyone on board had some worry on their faces. Most of them are passing through this place for the first time, and they know what it means to fly in this environment after living in space for many years. As long as there is a slight carelessness, it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death. Even if the ship under their feet is huge, it can't compare to those planets. Once they are pulled by gravity and fall into the planet, their fate may be worse than touching eggs with stones.
No one in the command room said a word, and Yun Yi and Xiao He stared intently at the screen, each of the planets that were approaching.
Xiao He's voice suddenly sounded: "Correction procedure, coordinate No. 1069, horizontal offset to the left 12.8 degrees." ”
Yun Yi's hands quickly tapped on the keyboard: "Understood...... Fixed! ”
There was silence again.
"Correction procedure, coordinate 1422, 5.22 degrees upward, slowing down to one-third."
"Understood...... Fixed! ”
"Amendment ......"
"Understand ......"
Time, in the boring conversation between the two and the sound of Yun Yi tapping on the keyboard, minute by minute. As far as the voyage has arrived, the people watching from the side have also breathed a sigh of relief and are no longer as worried as they were at the beginning. The ultra-long detection range of the Aquarius ship, coupled with Xiao He's rich experience, Yunyi's ultra-fast hand speed, and the precise control of [Sakura]. With their joint efforts, this dangerous road is no longer as terrible as it was at the beginning. Hardly anyone would have thought that something would happen to them on this route.
With this voyage, they were able to record a list of the most standard routes. In the future, if Aurelia wants to enter and exit, they can easily cross this dangerous passage by entering the navigation route into the ship's automatic navigation program.
"Lord Xiao, there should be Wangxiangyi in front of you, right?"
After completing the correction of a program again, Yun Yi looked at the relatively open space in the distance on the screen and asked Xiao He next to him.
Xiao He smiled: "That's right, it should be there." As long as you arrive at Wangxiangyi, this passage is halfway through. ”
Wangxiangyi is the name given to the only space in this waterway that can be used for spaceships to dock in this waterway, and from here, you can reach the place where they live; If you go out, you can reach their hometown, so they can hope to be called the hometown post. Due to the long course, in order to avoid problems during the voyage, they would stop the ship and inspect the ship whenever they came here, and then take a short rest before continuing on the road.
"Then let's take a rest in front of us, I'm a little tired from being mentally concentrated along the way." Yun Yi said with a smile and wiped a handful on his forehead.
Xiao He glanced at him gratefully, of course he knew that with Yun Yi's martial arts cultivation and young body, although it was hard along the way, it would have no effect on him. He said this completely by taking care of himself. was not hypocritical at the moment, so he said: "Then take a break." It seems that I am really old, and this kind of mental work makes me a little unable to hold on. ”
Yun Yi said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, where is he old, I will think of a way for you when I get to the base, how can I say that you are now at the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, and it is not far from the innate level." Work hard, you must enter the innate ah. ”
"Haha, then let's borrow Lord Yun's auspicious words. When I'm free, I'll definitely work hard to cultivate! ”
As he spoke, the spaceship had passed through the last of the more dangerous sections and entered the space of the Wangxiang Station. Just as Yunyi tapped the keyboard, preparing to temporarily shut down the spacecraft for maintenance, suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded wildly, and hundreds of red dots appeared on the screen.
After only one glance, Xiao He immediately shouted: "Be careful, the secondary artillery immediately defends, it's a ship-to-ship heavy torpedo......"
