Chapter 264: Explaining the Mission

Look at the compass that was thrown into the trash.

One of the team members couldn't help but ask, "Captain, what should I do now?"

Originally, he still had a lot of confidence that he would be able to survive this punishment mission safely.

But the performance of the compass is completely the opening lightning strike.

You know, even if the scale of that compass is only two-thirds of the way, it's a boss that requires the whole team to work hard to deal with!

And when it reaches the peak, it means that there is a high probability of annihilation!

As for the on-the-spot collapse of the compass, it is completely beyond imagination.

It immediately destroyed his confidence.

The other team members, although they didn't say anything, also showed a hint of timidity in their eyes.

“...... Don't panic, it's just a small accident. ”

Facing his teammates, the captain knew that the morale had to be restored, and immediately said with a solemn face: "I also have a strengthened compass blessed by the Holy Spirit here, let's figure out the strength of the other party first and then make a decision." ”

Then from the space equipment, he took out a compass that was larger than the compass just now.

This compass is different from the austere style of the one just now.

There are also a lot of golden runes depicting brilliance on it, and at first glance, it belongs to high-end goods.

When he took it out of the space equipment, the captain felt a little heartache.

Because its blessing effect is a one-time special enchantment, he doesn't want to take it out at all if he doesn't have a bottom himself.

Looking at the compass that the captain had just taken out, the reincarnators present turned their attention again, wanting to see what the result could be this time.

Under their nervous gaze, the performance of this compass did not pull the crotch like the previous compass.

The pointer on it, as soon as it was aimed at the target, began to rotate slowly.

Soon, the upper hand reached 60 scales, and the compass had a total of 100 scales.

In the previous world they experienced, the 100 scale represented the rank, which was called a demigod by the natives there.

Any one of those strong people of that level can easily destroy a city and a country.

When that hand reaches the 100 scale thoroughly.

The faces of the reincarnators present, including the captain, were extremely ugly.

If it's a wide terrain, it's okay to say, you can play a little shade.

But in a spaceship, face a demigod-level powerhouse.

They didn't even have a place to hide.

In this way, even if they can win, I am afraid that they will have to lose a lot.

Without waiting for them to think deeply about what to do next.

Soon, the hands on the compass had broken through 100 scales after a full rotation, and returned to 1 scale again.

“?”

One of the team members said with a puzzled face: "What do you mean, can this still be stacked?"

Everyone present was puzzled, and no one knew what it meant.

Under their gaze.

Soon, the hands have completed their second revolution and the third is underway......

Lap 4, Lap 5, Lap 6......

The hands of the compass show no signs of stopping, and it is very obvious that they begin to turn faster and faster.

More than ten seconds later.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the needle of the compass turned like the propeller of a helicopter, and even produced a lot of wind.

A few more seconds passed.

With just one pointer, it broke away from the captain's open palm and flew up slowly.

“???”

“666!”

"it!"

"Watts?"

"Falk Squid!"

Such a performance really stunned everyone.

That's when it happened.

Miller, the captain of the Losser, who was telling the crew to prepare for the landing and was about to land the Horizon spacecraft soon, also saw the sight.

Puzzled, he asked, "What are you guys playing with?"

It was the first time he had seen a drone in the shape of a compass.

Don't say it, there's a strange sense of déjà vu.

How do you express it?

Ancient style + modern technology?

Faced with this question, the captain looked at the compass hovering above his head, licked his lips, and whispered, "...... Uh, right. ”

Miller immediately asked curiously:

"The styling is quite chic.

Is there a purchase address?

I'd like to make one when I go back!"

"Easy to say, easy to say......"

After politely leaving the other party, the captain said to the deputy captain with a serious face: "Prepare the few Tsar Bombards we bought at a high price."

If something is wrong, just detonate it!

And we used the space scroll to hide in another space for refuge. ”

"Got it......"

-------

As the creator of the Horizon, a scientist named Will is trying to explain the mission to the crew.

Will wanted to be polite first, so he said, "First of all, I'm very relieved......"

As soon as he heard this, Captain Miller was not very happy and said, "You may be very pleased, but you know, we are not pleased......

It's not much fun to cancel the scheduled vacation and run to this Neptune.

You have to know that the nearest rescue point is also 3 billion kilometers away from here.

The last time I rescued a spaceship at this distance, there were no more rescued and rescued spaceships!"

Whether it was taking a vacation or being sent on a high-risk mission, it was enough to cause him to be dissatisfied.

That is, both parties belong to people with status and status, and the gentleman does not move his words.

Otherwise, Miller can directly transform into a grumpy brother.

As for his complaints, Will just looked at him unmoved, and then continued: "Because of the suddenness of the incident, many things have not been told to you.

For example, not long ago, NASA received a distress message.

And that information comes from the [Horizon] that mysteriously disappeared a few years ago......"

Hearing this, many crew members frowned directly.

Before they set off, they only knew that they were here to carry out rescue.

Unexpectedly, the rescue target was actually a spaceship that had been missing for several years.

How it sounds, how wrong.

So, a certain crew member who didn't know that this matter had become news on the earth, said bluntly: "Brag, that thing has disappeared for a few years, and it has been searched for I don't know how many times, and it can still float on Neptune?"

Captain Miller, on the other hand, felt that there was no need for the other party to talk nonsense about this kind of thing.

So in order to get more information, he could only reassure the crew and say, "Okay, listen to him first." ”

With the other party's reassurance, Will shrugged his shoulders and continued: "[Horizon] is a special spacecraft commissioned by the government, and it is built to achieve faster-than-light travel......"

When another crew member heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "With all due respect, that seems impossible.

According to the theory of relativity, nothing is faster than the speed of light. ”

The crew member was a technician on the ship, a graduate of a prestigious university.

It sounded to him.

Will's words just now were like a fart.

Will did not conceal his suspicions, and said bluntly:

"In the case of not solving the theory of relativity, the speed of the ship is naturally not faster than the speed of light, but we have adopted a different method.

To put it simply, we use a magnetic field to concentrate a small bundle of gravitons, and then fold space-time according to Werler tension mechanics......"

Another crew member with a low level of education was momentarily stunned in the face of this professional term.

Decisively said polite words: "Special, to put it in layman's terms, can you use a language that humans can understand?"

Will couldn't help but roll his eyes and silently thought, 'There is a big gap in education on this ship......

But in order to be able to complete the task smoothly.

Will still picked up a piece of paper.

Write A and B at each end of it, and ask everyone, "This piece of paper represents space, and how can point A reach point B in the shortest distance?"

One of the crew members replied, "Make a straight line?"

Will directly denied: "Wrong, just one point." ”

After saying that, he folded the A point of the paper directly to the position of point B, and then used a pen to run it through.

After the presentation, Will added:

"The faster-than-light method used by [Horizon] is to use gravity to fold space.

Overlap the position of the start and end points.

In this way, in the way of passing through space, after leaving the starting point, you will directly reach the end point, crossing all the distances in between!"

Listen to him.

All the crew members instantly felt like they were listening to a science fiction story.

Although I don't understand the specific principle, I feel very high when I hear it.

One of the crew members wondered, "Then how did you know so well?"

Will replied, "I made it." ”

Immediately, everyone's attitude towards him changed a lot.

The reasons are also very realistic.

can engage in such a high-end thing, and he is also a big guy when he thinks about it, and he should not be offended.

Sensing the change in their attitudes, Will continued with satisfaction:

"At the time of the test flight, everything was normal with [Horizon].

But after arriving at Neptune, the space jump officially began.

The spaceship is simply missing!

The kind that doesn't leave a trace, without a trace!

It was only now that it was discovered again. ”
