The situation of other warships was similar, and as a result, the position of each ship away from the superluminal speed was different, and the last battleship that broke away from the superluminal speed was more than a hundred astronomical units away from the Xinyuan.

Returning to the normal space, Ye Fei immediately ordered each ship to change the bow lens, looking at the front screen that had become clear again, Ye Fei felt as comfortable as a cataract patient regaining his sight.

Ye Fei, who was refreshed, ordered loudly: "Liu Lei, inform all ships to move closer to our ship, arrange personnel on duty on each ship, and let unnecessary people go back to the dormitory to sleep." ”

"Yes!" Liu Lei immediately complied.

"Old Xie, do you think there's anything else you need to pay attention to?" Ye Fei asked politely.

Professor Xie, who was as steady as Mount Tai, glanced at Ye Fei: "Do you want to fly straight to Betelgeuse?" ”

"What do you mean ......"

"There are too many uncertainties in supernova explosions, so I'd better be cautious." Professor Xie said.

Ye Fei thought for a while and said, "Then let's move forward in sections." "That's what I did when I flew to Pulsar Velis.

It is true that the environment around Betelgeuse may be dangerous, but unless you give up the speed of light and fly slowly at a normal speed, no matter what kind of danger lies ahead, it is impossible to predict it in advance, and since you have accepted this mission, you will inevitably have to take some risks.

Moreover, Betelgeuse has exploded for more than two hundred years, even if the surrounding environment is a little more complicated, it will not be as violent as when it exploded just now, Ye Fei felt that as long as he was careful, the battleship after strengthening the armor should not be in danger because of the space environment.

At this time, the other fifteen warships had all gathered near the Xinyuan, and Ye Fei calmly ordered: "All ships are ready to go." The course of Betelgeuse is 4, 10 light years later, out of the speed of light, each ship departs five minutes apart, pay attention to keep in touch. ”

This last sentence is equivalent to telling everyone that the battleship flying in front is cannon fodder for pathfinding, and once the leading battleship loses contact, the battleship behind must change direction in time.

Jiang Yufei immediately sent a communication: "Boss, I'll fly the first one." He said self-deprecatingly, "I've cloned it once anyway, so it's time to do it again." ”

"Fuck off." Ye Fei glared at Jiang Yufei and said. "I command. Everybody flies behind me! ”

There was silence in the fleet's command channel.

People don't kill for themselves, everyone knows that their lives are expensive, and there are really not many people who dare to fight to fly ahead, if everyone is scrambling. Those who are unwilling in their hearts will fight against their will. But Ye Fei opened his mouth and said this. While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't feel a good feeling in their hearts.

A fleet actually let the flagship take the lead, which one can hold up the head?

Ye Fei didn't care what everyone thought in their hearts. After arranging the affairs of the fleet, he ordered: "Ruan Peng, you kid has rested enough, you will be on duty for the first shift, huh...... That, is there anyone who can't drive air supremacy fireships and assault ships? ”

No one spoke.

"Very good, Ding Mengyao is also the first class, responsible for controlling the zhìzi ship to open the way. Lonely men and widows are not suitable, Hong Liang, you also stay and work as a substitute; The second class: Xia Zhuoyan, Yue Ting and Lin Xi. The third class, Ji Xiao, Yi Qi and Liu Lei. Ye Fei quickly arranged the order of duty, "No matter what happens, you must notify me immediately, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Hearing Ye Fei's arrangement in the communication, all the commanders, including Jiang Yufei, breathed a sigh of relief.

Remote-controlled battleships need to use resonance communication devices, but the communication interferes with Yan zhòng in the shock layer, so the battleship can only be risked, but fortunately, after leaving the shock layer, the communication has been restored, so there will be no more accidents that almost hit the planet headfirst.

The additional armor of the battleship was designed in a hurry, but it was not forgotten to set up the structure of the sub-ship's access.

The fleet departed again, the irrelevant personnel left the bridge, and the officers on duty took turns controlling the sub-ships in front, because they had to connect the sub-ships through guò consciousness and constantly observe the situation in front of them, so they rotated every hour.

There were no other accidents along the way, so the fleet flew directly to Betelgeuse, stopping every ten light-years at first, and when it was only about a hundred light-years away, it was changed to five light-years away from the speed of light; Entering the range of fifty light years, Ye Fei canceled the method of moving forward in a straight line, and instead relied on the stars to move forward enthusiastically; When Betelgeuse is only twenty light-years away, it is simply necessary to stop every light-year, regardless of whether there are stars or not, and carefully observe the situation.

The planets in each galaxy along the way left traces of supernova explosions.

On March 8, 2223, the fleet flew to a position just over seven light-years away from Betelgeuse.

There is an inconspicuous red dwarf, the last star that can be touched before reaching Betelgeuse.

As soon as the fleet broke away from the speed of light, it began to measure the surrounding environment, and soon, the news of a qiē normal reached the flagship.

Ye Fei, who received the news, looked like this, and he was not surprised at all.

Don't look at the fleet cautiously take one step and look at three steps, but the situation near Betelgeuse is obviously much better than expected, after entering ten light years, the space environment is only a few times higher than the normal radiation intensity, such a strength can be easily resisted even if the battleship is not modified, and it is not a fart for the modified battleship.

Of course, the premise of this qiē is not to approach Betelgeuse's axis of rotation!

Not long ago, Ye Fei sent a sub-ship to the direction directly opposite the axis of rotation at the request of Professor Xie, but as a result, the sub-ship flying faster than the speed of light had just entered the direction of the axis of rotation, and immediately and completely lost contact with the fleet.

In order to avoid losing another sub-ship, Ye Fei didn't even send another sub-ship over to see the specific situation as Professor Xie requested, but just dropped a few reconnaissance satellites in the safe airspace, and it was estimated that it would take seven to ten days for the satellites in the airspace where the sub-ship was missing to receive detailed pictures.

For this matter, Professor Xie gambled with Ye Fei for three days like a child.

In his opinion, as long as he can get first-hand information, the loss of two unmanned spacecraft is nothing at all. But in the concept of Ye Fei and other commanders, this is definitely not the case.

It's not that you can't get a number of jù when you use a satellite, it's just a few days at night, and Ye Fei will never sacrifice a valuable battleship just to get a few jù a few days in advance.

In the past, it was said that the gun was the second life of the warrior, but now it is said that the battleship is the second life of the soldier, and no one wants to sacrifice the battleship for no reason when it is not necessary - not even an unmanned battleship! (To be continued......)
