Chapter 167: The Wormhole (Part II)

Four ships, floating quietly in space, in the distance, there is one of the brightest stars, that is the destination of this trip, the original star that was named not long ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The DDA-class cruiser Le Chen dispatched was the USS Pluto, which is now the flagship of this small fleet, with General Gray himself as the captain.

In the conference room of the Pluto, there were seven or eight people seated, the three major lords of Le Chen, Dika and Rondo, the representative of the Saint Liago family, the representative of the Little Saint Liago, the representative of Duanmu Airspace, Duanmu Rong, and the captains of the other two cruisers and the captains of the transport ships, these three captains are the best cadets who are about to graduate from the Starfleet Academy.

"Something went wrong. General Gray frowned, and he could see that this time there was no small trouble.

"We're out of the wormhole safely, right? Are we in a mirror image?" Dika changed his smile and face, his face was rare and serious, in the history of the imperial fleet's exploration of the universe, countless wonderful experiences have been recorded, the wormhole is undoubtedly one of the most recorded astronomical phenomena in these wonderful experiences, there was once a scientific exploration ship, it was once lost in the wormhole, but the ship itself, no matter how to detect the surrounding environment, has left the wormhole, in fact, the ship is more like the edge of the wormhole, and the wormhole mouth is like a mirror, everything it detects is just a projection of it reflected in the mirror, the ship finally disappeared forever with the wormhole, just some data streams it emitted, intermittently received by passing ships, so the astronomical phenomenon of wormhole mirroring is known to the outside world.

Dika looked like a vulgar businessman, but looking at it now, there was no doubt that he had done his homework, in fact, what he said was a mirror image or something, Le Chen didn't understand, Rondo also stared at him with big eyes, but it was General Gray who gave him an approving look.

Then General Gray said: "The problem is not so serious, but although we passed through the wormhole, but in the process of our travel, the wormhole became extremely unstable, and the internal collapse phenomenon occurred, maybe the DC variable has been displaced, we have lost contact with the other end of the wormhole, and the data variable cannot be streamed for state transmission." ”

"What do you mean?" Rondo was dumbfounded, and Le Chen also coughed, he was also a little white.

General Gray looked at a handsome young man among the cadet captains and said, "Jim, you explain. ”

The young captain puffed up his chest and said loudly: "To put it simply, now that the wormhole channel has mutated, the communication between us and the home planet has been interrupted, and the wormhole channel can now only carry out the transmission of physical matter, for example, our ships, aircraft, etc., can still pass through the wormhole." ”

Dika smiled, "That's okay, we can go back." ”

The young captain Jim nodded slightly: "According to the instructions of the commander general, we have launched a flying machine back, informed us of the problems we encountered, and asked the home planet not to send ships through the wormhole, so as not to cause the wormhole to collapse further." Before he could finish speaking, his face suddenly changed.

General Gray also frowned, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

"General, is there any bad news?" asked Dika tentatively.

General Gray sighed: "Maybe because of the aircraft, the wormhole has further collapsed, and now, it is difficult to accommodate the battleship to pass through, and the frequency variable of the battleship's shield is too large, which can easily cause the complete collapse of the wormhole, I think, for safety, when we turn around, we can only carry all the transport ships." ”

Dika was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "This news is not too bad. ”

On the stock solution star, there is a stock solution worth 100 billion imperial coins, but the stock solution is extremely dense and extremely rare, the stock solution of 100 billion imperial coins weighs more than one million tons, but it is only a hundred cubic meters of volume, and the space occupied is negligible, mainly because of the load, although the transport ship on this trip is a light transport ship, but it carries more than one million tons of cargo and all the crew rotation, and the load capacity and space are still enough.

It's just that if the three DDA heavy ships are abandoned, Le Chen and the other three lords will lose a lot, of course, a standard DDA battleship is about two billion imperial coins, if the income of this trip can be sufficient and sufficient, and each family will get the original solution of two billion imperial coins, it will not lose money.

Rondo's eyes were furious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Dika was equally silent.

"The three lords, if you have to abandon the love ship of the three lords as a last resort, then we will bear this loss together, little lord, what do you think?" it was Duanmu Rong who spoke, and he smiled again to ask for the opinion of little Saint Lyago.

With Le Chen here, little St. Liago seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and he didn't say a word since he entered the conference room, and from time to time he secretly glanced at Le Chen with fearful eyes, where was he still arrogant and domineering in the past? At this time, Duanmu Rong suddenly called him, and Le Chen's eyes also looked at him, and he almost jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and said vaguely: "Okay, okay, I agree." ”

"This is only the worst-case scenario, our science officer is trying to figure out a way to stabilize the wormhole temporarily while we turn around," said the young captain Jim. ”

"I hope so. Decca smiled.

Rondo's expression also eased slightly, and he felt that the two little goods of the Duanmu family and the St. Liago's family were still on the road.

"Alright, now we're down to business, Jim, or you. General Gray gestured.

"Yes!" Jim bowed slightly, and said: "Next, we will send a shuttle to carry the liquid mining machinery into the atmosphere of the original liquid star, explore the area around the original liquid lake, and find a way to collect the mother liquor as soon as possible, and at the same time, in the airspace around the original liquid star, we will release a large number of detectors and jammers, hoping that there will be no advanced civilization activities in this area, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes." ”

Rondo frowned, naturally feeling that this method was too troublesome, if only his fleet arrived, in the universe on the other side of the wormhole, he would not have to abide by the laws of the empire, and he would go directly to the construction, if he brought a slave transport ship, it would be better, the population of this planet could be captured as much as he could.

But General Gray, the Farrell people, is the supreme commander, so he will naturally follow the various guidelines for contact with extraterrestrial civilizations led by the Farrells.

The civilization on this planet is far from entering the warp era, according to the guiding principle of the empire to conduct the third type of contact, if it is not necessary, then do not let them be aware of their existence, and although all their ships and aircraft cannot be detected by their technology at all, in the process of collecting minerals, they must also pay attention to the ecological balance of this planet, and do not have any impact that changes the ecological environment of this planet.

Therefore, acting as brutally as Rondo's idea must not work with General Gray.

"Okay, you can go back and rest, of course, you can also wander around this planet, but be careful to abide by the third type of contact principle, if someone violates the laws of the Empire, I will not be stingy with the opportunity to send him to a court-martial!" General Gray gave Rondo a deep look as he spoke, obviously feeling that he was the most unstable factor.

Everyone had different expressions, but they didn't say anything, and the meeting ended.
