"We seem to have guests. ”

Ji Hai put down the communicator, his eyes flashing.

Among the dwarf star planet fleet, Ji Hai's captain is even more famous than some fleet commanders.

He is sixty-three years old this year, and has served in the position of captain for more than twenty years, and is the only rear admiral captain of Dwarf Light Star. Even if you put it in the entire 66-star area, his qualifications are rare.

The reason why he can't rise is not because it's shady, but because Ji Hai's source energy level has been stuck at S-level.

After Qin Hongyu was kidnapped, he was imprisoned on his ship.

Ji Hai is not a member of the Ren family, but his son and grandson are all doing things for the Ren family. For the sake of future generations, Ji Haicai took over this task. Otherwise, with his seniority in the fleet, even if he doesn't buy the Ren family's account, it won't be a big deal.

However, Ji Hai never thought before that the Ren family would kidnap the wife of a planetary administrator. I didn't expect that there would be an interstellar battleship chasing them.

"What guest?"

The questioner was Zhou Wen's assistant, a secret agent loyal to the Ren family.

"A starship has just left Sirius and seems to be coming for us. "Kikaido.

"Where did you get the news?" the agent wondered.

"The news of the Star District Military Department, I don't know who it is. Ji Haidao: "It's an old comrade-in-arms of mine, who said that someone above is monitoring our location and reporting to another starship in real time." ”

Xia Shidong did send someone to monitor them, but after learning the previous lesson, the people who arranged it were sure that they would not have anything to do with the Ren family, and they didn't even know the details.

However, there is no impermeable strength in the world, and the eyes and ears of the Ren family were stopped, but an old comrade-in-arms of Ji Hai got the news. Although I don't know the details, out of years of friendship, I quietly informed it.

"Is it from the Xia family......" The Ren family agent didn't go to Ji Hai's source, but this information was obviously important. After confirming that the message was okay, he frowned and thought about it.

"Probably not, if it was the Xia family, there wouldn't be just one starship. The Ren family agent guessed: "It should be someone from Lei Yunxing." ”

"No matter who it is, it can't catch up with us. "Kikaido.

Ji Hai doesn't like to do things in the dark, but since he has taken the task, he has to complete it.

"Speed up. The agent said, "Don't be careless. ”

"It's precisely because you can't be careless that you can't change the speed at will. Ji Haidao: "If the other party finds out that we have noticed, there will be some trouble." At the current pace, they are just as helpless. ”

......

"Captain, there's some trouble. ”

Zhou Feiyu carefully checked the navigation data and reported to Li Mu with a frown.

"We and the other side are on civilian routes, and we can't fly faster than light. At the current rate, it could theoretically catch up in two days. ”

Li Mu sat in the captain's seat, providing source energy for the battleship. However, the attention of both eyes was on the holographic computer in front of them, as if they were studying and calculating something. After Zhou Feiyu finished reporting, Li Mu didn't hear it at all, and only continued to be busy there.

"Captain?!" Zhou Feiyu shouted.

"Huh?" Li Mu raised his head at this time: "What's the matter?"

"I'm talking to you. Zhou Feiyu said.

"Oh. Looking at Zhou Feiyu's expression, Li Mu subconsciously said: "Don't worry, we are on a fixed route, and the battleship will cruise automatically without control." ”

"That's not ......what I'm talking about," Zhou Feiyu was helpless, and repeated what he had just explained.

"Since you are sure that you can catch up, what else is there to worry about?" Li Mu asked.

"The premise of being able to catch up is that the speed has not changed. Zhou Feiyu said: "We are chasing at full speed, but the other party has never reached the highest speed." At their current speed, they would be out of Sirius in a day's time, and onto public routes. At that time, they will definitely speed up. If we don't think about it, we're likely to be dumped. ”

"Any suggestions?" asked Li Mu.

Zhou Feiyu has just been promoted to first officer, and he is a member of the young officer corps, so he has some intention to show it. Li Mu could see that as the captain of the ship, he was also willing to give Zhou Feiyu this opportunity.

"There's only one way. Zhou Feiyu called up the galaxy map and pointed to a location: "In two hours, we will arrive at this location." There is another route here, which is capable of flying at the speed of light and can go around in front of them to intercept. ”

"That's a military route. Li Mu shook his head: "We entered without permission, and the probability of colliding with other ships is too high." ”

The universe seems to be infinitely vast, and there are not many safe interstellar routes at all. Large and small planetary meteorites, ubiquitous space junk, too many factors will bring danger to the universe. In particular, there are very few routes that can fly at the speed of light.

In the early days, there were frequent accidents involving spaceship crashes due to lax traffic management. Especially in times of war, the casualties and losses caused by accidents are even several times greater than the war itself. Later, the federal government enacted regulations separating military and civilian routes.

This is not just a noun difference, but an absolute ironclad, especially for military routes.

Military routes do not mean that warships can be entered at will, but must be based on the content of the mission. In non-war situations, even the ships of the Supreme Commander of the Sector must submit an application for entry at least one week in advance if they want to use military routes. As for the other starships, it was even more advanced by a month.

If a starship enters without permission in violation of the regulations, it will attract a warning from the patrol fleet to expel it, and it is a real danger in case of a collision with a starship that is sailing normally.

Starships traveling at the speed of light basically do not have the possibility of emergency braking, and they can't even avoid the wrong car. At that speed, if you forcibly change direction, the starship will lose control in an instant. Whether it hits other ships or planetary meteorites, the consequences are devastating.

Although Li Mu often violates various regulations, he has no penchant for gambling.

"It should be fine. Zhou Feiyu said: "According to federal regulations, after the ship passes at the speed of light, there will be no second light-speed ship within ten minutes." However, this is only the minimum requirement, and under normal circumstances, this interval can be 20 minutes within the same route. We just need to find the right time ......"

"I'm not going to do anything that gambles my life. Li Mu shook his head: "I don't like to gamble with myself, and I don't like to gamble with you." And even if you're lucky, the Federation fleet in charge of patrolling won't sit idly by. Even if you can catch up at that time, you won't need to face two starships. ”

"You can't do nothing. Zhou Feiyu was a little anxious: "If it goes on like this, it will be thrown off by them." ”

Zhou Feiyu has worked step by step from a low-level soldier to the present, and he doesn't like flattery, and he doesn't have much feeling for Qin Hongyu, the director's wife. But now that he has joined the Young Officers Corps, he will definitely have to make some achievements. The first mission was fruitless, which he was unwilling to accept.

"Won't be dumped. Li Mu adjusted the galaxy map and clicked a position: "Turn here in two hours, go to planet X7652, and then turn back to the current route." ”

"Is there anything there?" Zhou Feiyu was full of doubts after seeing the location clearly.

With the radar power of the starships, the positions of the two starships on the Dwarf Star are still not visible. However, Xia Shidong can monitor in the military headquarters of the star region, and specially send people to share the other party's location in real time.

Judging from Li Muxuan's route, it is clear that it has gone around in a big circle. Even if you don't do data accounting, it's not hard to see that the distance will be farther away just by judging it with the naked eye.

"Nothing. Li Mudao.

"Then what are we going to do there?" Zhou Feiyu was even more confused.

"Knock it off. Li Mudao.
