Ye Fei looked at the red countdown number in the corner of the screen and shouted loudly: "Order the fleet, prepare for the impact!" ”

According to calculations, in another ten minutes or so, the shock wave will reach the location of the battleship.

When the order was given, everyone immediately left their positions, rushed to the equipment compartment outside the bridge to change into combat armor, and after returning to their seats, the seat belts automatically stretched out behind the seats, firmly fixing everyone to the chairs.

Even Professor Xie was invited by Ye Fei to put on an unequipped armor for him.

Xie Guohui couldn't refuse Ye Fei's kindness, but after putting on the armor, every movement of Professor Xie Lao, who had never been trained in armor, would cause strong feedback from the armor booster system, and he was completely unable to use his own strength to complete daily actions such as walking, sitting and lying, and finally Ye Fei and Hong Liang helped him back to the bridge before he had to sit back on the chair.

Due to the lack of Xie Guohui's brain wave number, he could not manipulate the combat armor, but Ye Fei used his authority to open a back door for the old professor so that he could put on the armor.

Anyway, wearing armor is to use the shock-absorbing layer of the armor to prevent any indifference whether or not the armor will be manipulated in case of emergency.

Professor Xie, who was automatically fixed on the chair by the five-point seat belt, laughed and laughed at himself: "I can't walk and can't move, my old man is really a burden this time." "How did the old man know that at this time, it was actually enough to only wear protective clothing, but considering that the protective clothing did not have much earthquake resistance, Ye Fei found him such a high-end product.

Ye Fei also laughed: "Look at what you always said, this thing is very simple. Don't worry about being lighter, slower, and you'll be like not wearing it for two days at most. ”

Old Xie's words really made Ye Fei's heart move.

The most important part of power armor is the amplification and feedback of movement power, if it is worn by people with limited mobility or half-body failure, the uncontrolled shaking of hands and feet is amplified and I am afraid that it will have a fight with the air hammer.

After a brief period of chaos, the bridge returned to order, the only difference was that everyone had changed into armor, and the bridge was a little less relaxed. A little more contemplation.

The bow of the battleship was facing Betelgeuse. The impending shock wave made everyone close their mouths and stare in Betelgeuse's direction, nervously waiting for the shock wave to arrive.

The red countdown number cowered inconspicuously in the corner of the screen, but at this moment, the constantly beating number was beating in everyone's eyes like a dancing flame.

The score is zeroed. There are only sixty seconds left. Everyone's hearts hung in the air. The faces of several psychological elements have changed.

The moment the seconds went to zero, everyone's hearts tightened at the same time, but nothing happened outside the ship. It's still a normal starry sky.

The countdown red six zeros were motionless, Ye Fei's brows jumped slightly, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet for no reason, he didn't feel it much at first, but it soon became very obvious, and the continuous tremor tended to get stronger and stronger.

Ye Fei's words were all blocked in his throat at once.

Then a crimson light suddenly appeared, completely flooding the battleship before the eyes had time to react, covering the familiar starry sky.

At this time, the vibration intensity of the battleship reached its peak, and then it gradually stabilized and slowly weakened, but it did not disappear completely.

This is the shock wave? It doesn't seem to be as tough as I thought!

The thought popped into everyone's minds at the same time, and the previous tension was removed.

The battleship has withstood the shock of the shock wave, what else is there to worry about?

Ye Fei subconsciously looked back and saw the shadows of the ships lined up behind the side of the screen as if bathed in flames, like a phoenix in an ancient legend...... Uh, phoenix eggs!

The rounded figure of the battleship after modification really has nothing to do with the phoenix, but more like a huge metal egg.

Except for the few ships closest to the New Source, a vague shadow could be seen, and the ships farther away were completely obscured by the flames.

According to the report, the temperature outside the ship has risen rapidly, and has reached 300 degrees...... That's more than 400 degrees! Xia Zhuoyan exclaimed, "Boss, the melting point of lead is only more than 300 degrees!" ”

Ye Fei is as steady as Mount Tai: "Don't worry, when it comes to building ships, we are much more professional in the rail factory who are engaged in engineering, and it is impossible not to even consider this kind of conventional problem." ”

"Xiao Ye is right." Professor Xie couldn't help but interject and said, "I have learned a little bit about the situation in the past few days, the outermost part of the new armor is a temperature-resistant layer, and the inside is a radiation-resistant lead alloy, don't worry, little girl." ”

Xia Zhuoyan was impressive, and everyone let out a burst of good-natured laughter...... In fact, many people were as worried about the melt of the lead armor as she was, but they didn't say it like she did.

Ye Fei smiled reluctantly: "Ruan Peng, notify all ships to report the situation of the battleship!" ”

"Report, communications have been unexplained and unable to convey the full meaning." Ruan Peng brought the first bad news to Ye Fei.

"Where's the radio?"

"The interference is even stricter, and it is completely unusable."

"Where's the lantern?"

"The brightness outside is too high, I'm afraid it won't work." Ruan Peng said embarrassedly.

Ye Fei couldn't help but be stunned: "Is there no way at all?" ”

Ruan Peng gritted his teeth and said, "If you get closer, maybe you can ......."

"No way!" Yi Qi subconsciously shouted, "Now the battleship is unstable, and if you get too close, you may collide with each other!" ”

The two round battleships, even if they usually collide together, are no joke, and now they are in the shock wave layer, just like two ships in a tsunami, if they get too close, even if they don't crash into a ship and kill people, they will be thrown far away by the shock wave, and they will no longer be able to find where the fleet is.

What can I do?

Ye Fei scratched his head for a while: We must find a way to restore communication, otherwise no order can be issued, and the coordinates of the next target point cannot be notified...... Is it difficult to turn around and fly out of the shock layer, and then fly back after completing communication?

After flying out of the shock layer, will the communication situation be a little better?

"Old Xie, do you know how thick the shock layer is?" Ye Fei asked humbly.

Xie Guohui thought for a while and said: "The time of supernova eruptions usually lasts from a few weeks to a few months, and we don't know the exact duration of Betelgeuse's eruptions yet, but after the eruption is over, the shock wave will disappear with it." To be sure, the thickness of the shock layer is equal to the bursting time of the star, which is a maximum of several months. ”

"Is it possible that after passing through the shock layer, the communication can be restored to normal?"

"Theoretically, that's so." "But I think the resumption of communication is limited to the warships of this fleet. (To be continued......)
