.

This important space jump was a complete success, and the rest of the journey was just as Captain Kirk had said. While there are still radiant belts, gravel zones, interstellar clouds, and so on to traverse, these minor obstacles are no longer a big deal for the Speed, which has seen and successfully passed the test of the Eye of Death.

However, due to the damage to the Ion Engine IV, even if the engine was urgently repaired through the eyes of the Reaper, the speed of the Rapid was still affected to a certain extent, and coupled with the previous delay, when the Rapid arrived in the federal territory and entered the Liberty space station, the Federation's outpost in the New Manchester system, it was already a week later than the scheduled trip.

On the Liberty space station, they met with the already anxious Allies' liaison coordinator, Morse Brown. Liu and Lieutenant Colonel Aydoc on the federal side, Morse. Liu had already waited impatiently on this Liberty space station, although there were often delays before, but at most it was a delay of half a day and a day, and there had never been a delay as long as a week like this time.

"Thank goodness you've finally arrived, and I'm worried about what's going on, Lieutenant Colonel Aydok even suggested that the Federation send a ship to check what happened? Why is there such a long delay? It was obviously not the first time that Liu and Captain Kirk had met, and when they met, they didn't make much politeness, so they asked directly.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel. Actually, it was nothing, we encountered something, we almost got trapped, it was the eyes of death, we spent five days there empty, and one of the main ion engines also had a problem, and it was a lot slower. "Captain Kirk to Morse. The lieutenant colonel beside Liu nodded in thanks.

"The black hole?" The lieutenant colonel's eyes sharpened.

"That's right. There was something wrong with the change cycle of the gravitational field, and it suddenly became very regular, and now it changes about every twenty minutes, and our navigation computer is not fast enough to solve the problem in twenty-five minutes. We simply didn't have time to complete a solution. I will provide you with a full report at the information exchange meeting, and in the future, ships sailing on this route will have to make some corresponding improvements, preferably to greatly increase the computing speed of navigation computers. Captain Kirk briefly explained the reason for the delay.

"I think that's fine." Lieutenant Colonel Aydok affirmed, "Recently a new high-performance navigation computer, the Dawning 595 system, has just been developed, you can apply for your full report, and I think the general will agree to give you this new high-performance navigation computer as a matter of priority." Just in time to replace the Express during engine repairs. ”

"That's great, and it's best to solve it in minutes, or even seconds. Then we won't have to worry about the eyes of death anymore. To be honest, this time I thought the Rapid would be trapped for a month or two, just like the Mayflower, and the crew was ready to stay for a long time and wait for rescue. Captain Kirk said happily.

"And how did you end up getting out of that hell place?" Lieutenant Colonel Aydok asked curiously.

"One of our major heroes made a risky suggestion, we turned off the Speed's environmental life support system and sensor system, and networked the computers that control these systems with the navigation computer, so that we could barely complete the solution before the gravitational field changed again. The Rapid was almost dragged in by the gravitational field and buried in the eyes of the Grim Reaper. Looking back again, he still felt some heart palpitations.

"Turn off the environmental life support system? You don't want to die? ”

"A short period of closure shouldn't be a big deal, and many people understand this. The difficulty is that very few people think in this way, just like Columbus erected eggs in your Earth Federation. "Morse. Liu added a sentence next to him, and he quickly understood.

Lieutenant Colonel Aydok was silent, he understood what his companion meant. When Columbus discovered America during the Age of Discovery, many nobles were not convinced, so he brought a hard-boiled egg and asked them to stand it up on the mirror, and these nobles erected it for a long time, but none of them succeeded. Columbus took the egg and knocked it on the mirror so hard that it broke, and the egg stood still, and the nobles were speechless. However, some people are not convinced, thinking that this is too simple, they just didn't think of it, but the real difficulty is to be able to think of breaking eggs......

"That major, who is he? Or a hero? Is there a hero in our league who is a major? "Morse. Liu asked with interest.

"Who else? It's the famous Risson. Major Nigaul. ”

"Who?" Morse. Liu carefully searched his memories, "Famous name? Why don't I seem to have heard of him? ”

"I almost forgot, the news hasn't reached you yet, but you'll hear about him soon, and I've brought him with the Speedy for you to have his picture on the conscription posters distributed by the Federation, and it's hard to know his name. Oh, by the way," Captain Kirk said with a hint of respect on his face, unusually solemnly, "and he is also a recipient of the Andean Roc Star Wings. ”

"The Andean Roc Star Wings? The medal for the dead? How could he get this medal? "Morse. Liu was surprised.

"Yes, but Major Nigaul is not dead, he is still alive and well, and this is the first time that anyone has been able or accepted this medal, and I was fortunate enough to attend the award ceremony at that time." He remembered the solemn scene at that time, "I wish it was me standing on it, and sometimes I am so jealous that I can get this medal at such a young age......"

Morse. Liu froze, he had fallen into a petrified state, completely stunned.

"Starwing Medal?" Lieutenant Colonel Aydoch didn't know much about the Confederate medal system, but he knew from the expressions and conversations between the two of them that this medal was unusual, "It sounds like a great thing, but what exactly did he receive this medal for?" ”

"This ......," Captain Kirk asked slowly, after a moment's consideration, "Lieutenant Colonel." You know the Fifth Fleet of the Galactic Empire, which has been fighting you on the front lines. ”

"I know this, since the second, third, and seventh fleets of the empire were severely damaged by us in the battle of the Seven Star Domains of Great Horn, the Fifth Fleet has become one of the main fleets of the imperial army, which can be regarded as a strong enemy, causing considerable losses to our army. Our intelligence system learned. Recently, this fleet has been moved back from the front to the rear, and the pressure on the front line has been reduced a lot, thanks to you, you have held back quite a few Imperial forces. Lieutenant Colonel Aydok said heartily.

"Thank you, Major Nigaul, you don't have to worry about this fleet anymore."

"He? That's a whole fleet, how did your alliance do it? Lieutenant Colonel Aydoch asked in surprise.

"It's too complicated to say, but I think a detailed operational report should be available to you in this intelligence exchange."

"So. How did Major Nigaul come to the Federation with your Speed? "Morse. Liu came back to his senses, could it be the Federation
