Chapter 389
In the endless pitch-black void, an interstellar battleship more than 3,000 meters long flew alone. Since there were no references around, it was impossible to see what the speed of the ship was.
Inside the command room, Zhan Fei stared at the dozen or so display screens suspended in mid-air in front of him speechless.
All screens are pitch black, and nothing can be seen.
"Can't you even see the starlight? What the hell is this...... It can't be a mistake, right?"
Out of the corner of his eye, a screen in the lower right flashed slightly, showing a schematic diagram of the route. Black spheres appear on the picture, a small green dot moves slowly on them, and there are some strange numbers in the bottom right corner of the screen.
"Is the nearest black hole less than 8 million kilometers away, and the next closest black hole is only 9 million kilometers away, sailing within the gravitational sphere of three or four different black holes at the same time for a month...... It's like a dream, or a nightmare. ”
Zhanfei couldn't help but rub his temples.
The environment completely upended his perception of black holes. It's incredible that so many black holes have come together and not collided with each other due to gravity.
The reason why the Gluttonous Battleship was able to survive here was that it flew through the gravitational equilibrium region of each black hole. The two gravitational fields pulling towards both sides with equal force at the same time will not cause the ship to disintegrate, but will only cause the ship's gravitational tear to close to zero. This made Zhanfei a little unexpected.
However, he has seen some science fiction movies in alien worlds - a planetary fortress with a diameter of thousands of kilometers lands on another planet with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, which causes gravitational anomalies. Something between the two stars will levitate, almost weightless.
"Xingtao-2" is to take advantage of this to be able to be in the region where multiple black holes gather. An Ran shuttled for several months without accidents. However, this fear that something will go wrong at any time has fallen into a frightening crisis from time to time, which has caused Zhanfei to not sleep well for three consecutive months.
"Why don't these black holes collide together?" Zhanfei still had this thought in his heart, full of puzzlement.
"Hey, Zhanfei, come and help us rebuild the engine when you don't have time!! On average, thirty-three auxiliary engines and one main engine are broken today, and you still have the leisure to stay still?" Lu Qi'er's angry voice came from the side, but it was a remote communication.
Zhan Fei said: "I'm not available." Nor will it be repaired. ”
"Damn, don't pretend to be stupid, you don't know how to cultivate, who will? It doesn't take much time to learn this thing, it's just that some delicate places must use your mind-controlled nanobots. What are you doing in the command room? Let the battleship control system take care of everything automatically. ”
"I was waiting to see what happened to this battleship when I accidentally sucked it into a black hole. Before you die, you can still think about whether there is a way to escape. ”
"You crow's mouth!!!Is this what a captain should say?" Lu Qi'er was furious.
The whole person stayed in a production workshop under the hull. The whole person has lost a lot of weight, and he is still holding a nutrition bar in his hand, clucking and biting.
The engines of biochemical warships are very special, and in some places, the parts cannot be mass-produced at all, and they must be fine-tuned manually using mind-controlled nanobots. The power of mind control consumed is not much, but it is too grinding. I have something to do every day, and I was just about to go to bed when I was woken up again.
"Come on, I feel. It won't be long before we get out of trouble. "Zhan Fei Dao.
"You've said this eight hundred times, Captain. The voices of Yu Wen and others came.
Zhanfei was speechless.
Right now. The warship system suddenly sounded an alarm: "Emergency alarm, emergency alarm, detection found that there are a large number of malignant medium and microparticle !! 35 million kilometers ahead"
"What ?!!" Zhanfei almost didn't jump up.
The alien players who heard this hint also turned green one by one.
"Detailed information. Zhan Fei asked.
"According to the detection, 35 million kilometers ahead, a large number of malignant medium and microparticles have formed a cloud with a diameter of 800,000 kilometers, which is drifting towards us along the 'gravity balance channel'. Preliminary detection, the mass is close to zero, and it is not easy to be pulled by the force of the black hole.
"It is preliminarily estimated that the diameter of each medium particle is equivalent to one hundredth of the atomic nucleus, and it has the ability to penetrate the atom, but it cannot penetrate the atomic nucleus, and will collide violently with the atomic nucleus. Since they are so densely distributed that they can't even penetrate light, they have the ability to easily destroy any atomic matter, and if the battleship comes into contact with it......" The sound of the battleship's system mechanizing came.
Zhanfei smiled bitterly: "Solution?"
"The best solution at the moment is to release a space bomb, force a passage through it, and rush through it as fast as possible. There is an 85 percent chance of escaping from the range of the malignant particles. However, there is a 35 percent chance that the battleship will be seriously damaged, and a 50 percent chance of minor damage. There is a zero percent chance that it will be unharmed. Fifteen percent probability...... The battleship is completely destroyed or absorbed by a nearby black hole and cannot escape. ”
Zhanfei asked, "Can you go around?"
"There is only a straight line in the nearby 'gravity balance' area, and there are no forks. Out of the 'gravity equilibrium' region, there is a fairly high chance of being captured by the black hole's gravity. The danger is close to that of the malignant medium particle clusters. ”
Zhanfei was speechless.
In this case, either forward or backward, a detour is not possible. But back ......
Zhan Fei looked at the schematic diagram on the display screen - the black hole star was also moving slowly, and some of the roads it had traveled had disappeared...... You can still turn around, but if you turn around, you won't find the area of "gravity balance", and then fall into the gravitational capture field of the black hole, which will be troublesome.
Zhanfei smiled bitterly, groaned for a while, and said, "Fortunately, it is a malignant medium particle, not a malignant ultrafine particle, so there is still a glimmer of life......
If it is a malignant ultrafine particle, it may ignore all the protection of the battleship and directly penetrate the body of everyone inside, perhaps without causing any damage, or it may cause spontaneous combustion of the human body. or decompose and become a large amount of ionic substance.
"Inform Lu Qi'er and them, let's vote. Let's see what everyone thinks. ”
After a few moments, Tucson's voice came: "Is there a 15 percent chance that it will be completely destroyed or sucked up by a nearby black hole and will not be able to escape......?" When the battleship is damaged, it is still possible to force us out of the ship, right?"
Zhanfei and the others pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision.
Zhan Fei arranged himself and Luo Wan, Zhan Ling'er and other people closest to him to different mecha and rescue cabins.
"If the battleship is damaged, let the second half of the battleship blow itself up. Forcing the front half out of the front, we sat in the mech, when the front half of the battleship's hull was also broken. Launch a space bomb to blow up the passage. In this way, the probability of death will drop to less than two percent, and it will be worth the fight. ”
It's all there. It took most of the day.
Then......
The battleship launched huge interstellar missiles. Bombardment ahead.
A thousand kilometers ahead, a huge hole was formed, and to the shocking thing, a cloud of light and a long twisted band of light appeared in the dark starry sky.
A cloud of light is an exploding light, and the distorted band of light is a gravitational equilibrium zone between several black holes, where impurities reflect the light back, and the rest of the light is swallowed up and captured.
At this time. The blast swept back and crashed into the Gluttonous 2. Exploded the energy shield that had just risen from the hull of the No. 2 battleship and shook slightly.
It's too close.
But it can't be helped.
In an instant, the speed of the battleship soared to 1,000 kilometers per second, then 2,000 kilometers per second, and 3,000 kilometers per second...... The terrible overload was dissipated by the mysterious power inside the battleship.
Bang!!
Terrible thunder flashed on the surface of the battleship, and a huge sound faintly entered the battleship. The display screen shows the outside environment, and the battleship seems to have entered a colorful environment, and the surface of the shield explodes violently, but it is the explosion caused by some small particles that are invisible to the naked eye hitting the energy shield.
Blazing beams of light, missiles after missiles, continued to spray and explode in front of them.
A strong wave of air washed in all directions.
This is space, and it is a vacuum environment, so the air wave that bursts out can successfully "blow away" the surrounding things, unlike the phenomenon of gasping in the tail within the atmosphere.
However, the "blown" air wave collides with malignant neutrinos, which can cause a terrible nuclear explosion. All kinds of colors, colorful, and constantly blooming.
From time to time, something that is missed hits the surface of the battleship, some only burst into thunderstorms, some bloom with strong fire, and even some will cause the matter to fuse and absorb the surrounding heat, forming a cold area, devouring the flames, and in some places even melting through the shell of the battleship, hitting out deep or shallow craters, ranging from tens of centimeters to more than ten meters and tens of meters. Even the hatch lines in many places inside the battleship were exposed. If it weren't for the multi-layer sealing method inside, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The battleship was thunderous, speeding through the thick nebula area.
In just a few minutes, it feels like a few years have passed.
Suddenly, the battleship stopped releasing missiles, and the light ahead dissipated.
The battleship shook slightly, and then ......
"It's ...... Starry Sky ?!!"
Zhanfei looked at the screen in surprise.
You can see the starlight again, although faintly and distantly.
The battleship went all the way forward, and the black hole in front of it was thinned.
It has been advancing for half a month in a row.
There is no black hole in sight, but there are a large number of broken stars around it, ranging in diameter from fragments of star stones the size of fingernails to tens or hundreds of kilometers in size.
Huge stones fly at high speed in space, the distance between each other is only tens of hundreds of kilometers, but the speed is thousands of kilometers per second, tens of thousands of kilometers, often see the stones collide, and then bounce away, and then hit other stones, and then continue for tens of thousands of hours is a continuous collision with each other.
The stone is very hard, and there are generally no signs of cracking and shattering under such an impact, which is shocking. And because of the gravitational pull of the black hole, these stones will still fly towards this side even if they are knocked away, and it is common to see many stones crashing backwards, rushing towards those sparse black holes, throwing themselves into the net.
When the battleship flew out, he saw the scene of countless stones scurrying around and colliding with each other.
"Hiss~~~ There's no space for the battleship to break through safely. "Zhanfei's scalp is numb.
The shell of Starship 2 was in tatters, and it was completely unrecognizable, but it was still strong.
"Rush over!!"
Under Zhanfei's order, Xingyu No. 2 first fired two newly manufactured "Ten Sons Serial" bombs, a huge missile was fired forward, the front end was cracked, and another missile flew out inside, and the shell was shattered. The front end of the newly flown missile cracked and flew out of the third missile, the casing of the second bomb shattered, and then the third bomb cracked and flew out of the fourth bomb, and the third shell shattered. And so in a row...... New missiles are popping up one after another. The shell of the explosion, on the other hand, creates a strong thrust that pushes the surrounding rubble away.
It's just that gravel with a diameter of tens or hundreds of meters can be pushed away, and there is no way to do it for thousands of meters or even tens of hundreds of kilometers.
The Gluttonous 2 flew forward at a rapid pace, bypassing the most particularly massive meteorite and clearing the way with missiles.
This flight took more than three days.
"The space engine has been fixed, and you can try the final test and make a space jump. But you have to check if the neighborhood is safe, we don't want to end up with you. Lu Qi'er's voice came from inside the command room.
Zhanfei nodded, slightly relieved.
At this moment, the front suddenly cleared, and the battleship finally flew out of the rocky area.
There are very few rocks that are bumping around.
But to Zhanfei's surprise, there were many strange things ahead.
"That's ...... Containers?"
Zhanfei saw huge containers with a diameter of more than a kilometer. There are some alien words written on it.
"Junk ......" battleship system translation.
Zhanfei was speechless.
I didn't make a space jump, slowed down the speed of the battleship, and all the way forward, I found that there was this kind of garbage everywhere, and the distance between them was large or small, some containers were clustered together, some were scattered, and they were separated by thousands of meters to thousands of kilometers.
I even saw that some broken battleship wreckage was floating in the void, or there were some broken mecha and flying saucer wreckage, which looked quite unfamiliar, and there was no information on the corresponding mecha model and flying saucer model in the database of Xingyu 2, but it looked familiar...... Anyway, no matter how you design it, the gap won't be too big.
Suddenly, a huge battleship with a diameter of more than eight thousand meters floated behind some shadows, all of which were garbage containers, and then exploded with a bang, and the flames burned.
"Nuclear fuel?" Zhan Fei frowned slightly.
The battleship continued to move forward and flew for a few more days. The space energy in the capsule has gradually been stored, and it can be used to make space jumps at any time. However, it was found that there was a large void in front of it, and although various garbage containers could still be seen, the containers in this area were particularly sparse, and optical detectors could be used to detect distant places.
For example, 103 billion kilometers away, there is a huge planetary fortress with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers.
There are some alien characters written on it, and the translation shows that it is a universal language in the United States, which roughly means: "Yutong Professional Waste Disposal Co., Ltd."
"That's an exaggeration...... What the hell is this place......"
Zhanfei was muttering, and suddenly, the energy shield of Xingyu 2 suddenly bloomed with a strong light, and a huge alarm sounded "Alarm!!" The battleship has been attacked suddenly......
Rumble!!!
Boom!!!
The battleship was attacked by dozens of space missiles at the same time, and the energy shield shook violently, flashing and extinguishing, and the command room shook slightly as if it was broken at any time due to a serious lack of energy.
The floating screen shows that the nearby space is distorted, and some points of light appear.
Thirteen mechs, ranging in height from eight to thirty meters, were suspended in the surrounding void, and 10 million kilometers away, there was a miniature starship about 800 meters long, with a staggered figure of a knife and a gun under a skull.
"Star pirates?" Zhan Fei was stunned, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting...... After so long, I finally saw a living person. (To be continued.) )
