Chapter 192: Spatial Folds
After coming out of the bar, Juan regained his composure.
He no longer cares about the subsequent development of the "Prism Gate".
It may be more meaningful to strengthen oneself than to hope for others.
And the fastest way to increase your strength is to get the Star Destroyer overhead.
Through surveillance, Juan found Captain Solo, Chewbacca, and Berner, who were maintaining the Millennium Falcon on the tarmac.
He walked over and beckoned, "Solo, can you send me up to find something?" ”
"No problem, my baby has just been maintained, and he needs a hot engine."
Juan sends the location of the Star Destroyer to Captain Solo.
Bernard muttered, "Go for a ride, I'm going for a drink." ”
"No, Bernard, I need your professional guidance."
Juan took Berner's arm and stepped into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.
"No, Juan, what are you looking for, you can use me?"
"You'll know then, where should I sit?"
With Bernard's help, Juan tied himself to the guest seat, while Berner sat in his navigator's seat.
Captain Solo and First Officer Chewbacka also took their respective positions, and then the ship was activated.
The Millennium Falcon shook lightly and left the ground.
I don't know if it's because of Captain Solo's superb piloting, Juan didn't feel any discomfort during the liftoff.
Soon, the spacecraft left the atmosphere of the beautiful planet and approached the ring.
Juan peered through the porthole at the rings of the planets, which looked like thin lines on the ground, but when he got closer, he found that they looked like a sea of debris.
The gravel is so numerous, boundless, that it occupies the entire horizon.
These countless pieces of rubble, small stones, dust, and particles invisible to the naked eye are all rotating and hitting irregularly.
They sometimes clump together, but when they reach a diameter of about 50 meters, they split up again.
This kind of division and merging, like the undulation of the waves, seems to never stop.
The "Millennium Falcon" clings to this sea of rubble and keeps flying upward.
After leaving the outermost edge of the ring, and flying upwards for a long distance, Captain Solo's radar revealed a large floating object in front of him.
Upon approaching, Juan saw through the porthole that it was a huge triangular pyramid-shaped object, exuding the coldness of black iron, lonely and lifeless.
But for some reason, it feels like it's a little distorted.
Captain Solo exclaimed, "It's actually a Star Destroyer!" It looks like it's abandoned. ”
Juan said happily: "Yes, an abandoned Star Destroyer, whoever picks it up is whoever's own." ”
Berner was also interested: "This is not common, you know, the military department generally does not let a damaged warship float."
"Either they send out to repair the mothership, repair the damaged warship, or bring it back to rebuild, or they just blow it to pieces.
"What made them let this Star Destroyer stay here?"
At this time, Captain Solo suddenly made an emergency avoidance, and the "Millennium Falcon" trembled and turned a sharp turn close to 90 degrees.
Blood rushed to Juan's head, and his eyes were so black that he couldn't see anything.
Thankfully, dedicated airline seats share the damage caused by acceleration.
The strengthened body of the World Tree also allowed Juan to recover quickly.
"What's going on?!"
It wasn't just Juan who was screaming, even Berner was questioning Captain Solo's dangerous maneuvers.
"There's nothing there! What are you hiding? ”
Captain Solo didn't answer, he stopped the Millennium Falcon and floated in space, but didn't turn off the engine.
He then beckoned Chewbaccal to initiate a full-power radar scan.
Chewbaccal didn't seem to understand what was in Captain Solo's pot, but it didn't hesitate to carry out the captain's orders.
Juan could tell that Chewbaccal trusted Captain Solo.
But radar scans showed that there was nothing there except the visible wreckage of the Star Destroyer.
Juan asked, "Solo, what's wrong?" ”
Solo frowned, "I don't know, my intuition tells me that there is danger there." ”
Pointing to the hologram built after radar scanning, Berner said, "But there's nothing there but Star Destroyers!" ”
But Captain Solo was still not reassured, and he ordered Chewbaccal to bombard a shuttle with a laser cannon.
Chewbaccal immediately left his seat and headed for the weapons compartment.
Juan saw through the porthole that a quadruple laser cannon had risen from the ship's belly.
Berner whistled and said, "Solo, I didn't expect you to hide this, this is a military laser cannon, and civilian cargo ships will never equip it." ”
Captain Solo raised his eyebrows triumphantly, "My precious ship has been carefully modified, and it is much stronger than you think. ”
Chewbaccal operates a laser cannon that shoots a series of pulsed lasers.
The pulsed laser went straight ahead, then vanished, as if burrowing into something, and then after a distance, suddenly reappeared, as if it had pierced something.
However, the beam was twisted at an angle, and it looked like it was refracted through the water.
Finally, the pulsed laser hit the dark shell of the Star Destroyer, which had lost the protection of the force field, and pulled out a burning mark, but did not penetrate the thick shell of the Star Destroyer.
Juan exclaimed, "Sure enough, there's something, what is it?" ”
Experienced Captain Solo said, "It's not a thing, it's a fold of space." ”
Bernard seemed to remember something, adding: "The jump failed! It must be a failed jump! In this case, there will be folds of space around the ship!
"It's no wonder that they don't send a bulky repair mothership to recycle an abandoned Star Destroyer."
Juan asked curiously, "What happens if you hit the folds of space?" ”
Berner hurriedly replied: "It's worse than hitting the rocks, the whole ship will be torn apart." ”
Juan exclaimed, "Damn, there is such a dangerous area on the edge of my planet, so how can I take out the Star Destroyer?" Can you blow up these 'reefs'? ”
Captain Solo explained, "Small-scale explosions don't work against spatial folds, and as you can see, the laser beam passes through.
"And a large-scale explosion, such as the self-explosion of the Star Destroyer-class class, will expand the space fold, and this expansion is irregular and extremely dangerous."
Berner nodded: "This makes sense, no wonder the military department neither recovered nor blew up this Star Destroyer." ”
Juan was stunned and said, "Then they just let this spatial fold stay here?" ”
Captain Solo said, "It will disappear, and the folds of space will fade away over time." Time heals everything. ”
Berner adds: "It should be said that the power of nature is invincible, and it can bring all unnatural phenomena back to nature.
"But jump failures were more common in the early days of interstellar exploration, and now that technology is so advanced, and it's a military spaceship, it's really strange."
Captain Solo said, "I'm sure the answer can be found in the captain's logbook. ”
Juan was surprised: "Why, can you still go in?" ”
Captain Solo smiled confidently, "Now it's time to show my strength." ”
However, the process was more boring than Juan had imagined.
It is to keep strafing with the laser cannon, and then find a passage that is not affected by the spatial folds, and then slowly lean over.
However, Berner expressed high praise for this: "This is a difficult spacecraft operation method, you know, this is space, there is no resistance, but you can't stop if you want to, Captain Solo's micro-manipulation ability is terrifying." ”
Juan sighed: Sure enough, it is a layman who looks at the excitement, and an insider who looks at the doorway.
