Chapter 87： The end is coming (6)

Austin stared at the catastrophe-like scene on the monitor blankly. He felt his hands and feet were cold, his back was numb, and the Tiger Shark Alliance was over. The entire alliance had 18 Tiger Shark-class destroyers and 54 Dogfish-class frigates. Annihilated.

The mission was not completed, people were not rescued, and they even took their lives in. All of this is caused by him. As the commander of the fleet, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

The feeling of regret and unwillingness turned around in his heart, and Austin immediately came back to his senses. As a battle-tested veteran, he still has this emotional control ability. Now is not the time to sigh, protecting the strength of the fleet as much as possible is his first task now.

"Robertson, has the engine warmed up yet?"

The driving team leader Robertson wiped his forehead with sweat: "Okay... Alright."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and start the engine."

"Yes...Yes." Robertson responded loudly, glancing at the flashes of bright rainbows outside the porthole.

At the moment of escape, small warships are much more flexible than large ships. The aircraft carrier "Zeus" and most battleships and cruisers are still preheating and charging, some interceptor ships, special service ships, frigates and other small and medium-sized models The ship has been charged, is activating the speed engine, and is preparing to enter the virtual space.

The flares of the sixteen propellers on the stern of the "Zeus" aircraft carrier changed from silvery white to blue, and the curved field began to radiate outward, gradually enveloping the entire hull.

As a giant battleship with a body length of more than 700 meters, the "Zeus" entering the warp speed state consumes far more primitive fuel than ordinary warships. As for the engine effective period, it is also several times worse.

The faint blue flames ejected by the sixteen thrusters are like colorful fireworks trees, which instantly ignited dozens of dark voids around them. The hull of the "Zeus" trembled slightly, as if a head had just woken up and was shaking off the mud spots. Wetland predators.

Beside him, countless stars flashed on the surface of the cruiser hull around the moon like a moon. The curvature field had been opened, and it would take a few more seconds to enter the virtual space-time.

As the main offensive force, the thirty-two Whale Shark-class battleships, the two 1200mm cannon turrets in the bow, the two-string triple 420mm electromagnetic railgun, and the rear heavy missile launch array are all retracted, and the blue flames from the stern are in the void. Form a streamer matrix.

The geological survey ship and the pioneer-class scientific research ship, which are smaller than the dogfish-class frigate, have entered the virtual space before the Thunder Fleet and escaped the danger safely.

Nami Star’s energy burst became more and more intense, and finally, accompanied by a strong flash of light sweeping across the tranquil star system, this time bomb exploded and completely turned into a dazzling sea of ​​fire radiating endless light and heat.

Rocks of various sizes are like infinite bullets flying in the air on the battlefield, surging toward the surrounding tide, and the violent particle storm broadcasts waves of energy outward at the speed of light.

The serene star, which has always been neither arrogant nor rash, seems to be irritated by these huge energy-carrying particle streams. The calm corona area sets off one after another flame jets, prominence erupts frequently, and the powerful solar wind broadcasts waves one after another toward the void of thousands of miles. A stream of charged particles in which the wave changes drastically.

The magnetic repulsion field of the "Zeus" has already been opened, so I don’t have to worry about these charged particles. As time goes by, the curved field gradually takes shape, and Austin slowly relaxes. If he can bring back most of the ships safely, Your Royal Highness I must not embarrass him too much. Because, in the face of the power of the universe, the status of mankind has never changed from beginning to end.

Just like the scene that happened on the "Shen Shi" class aircraft carrier bridge of the Saint Violet Fleet, Austin received a report with a different wording but similar meaning: "The curvature field is interfered by gravitational force, and the engine efficiency is reduced. The navigation aid unit needs to be activated. Only by offsetting gravitational interference can you safely enter the virtual space-time."

"How can this be? Why is this!" Austin roared loudly.

The intelligence officer dared not answer, and pointed carefully at the central monitor. Austin looked up, and a scene appeared on the screen. Nami Star was like a flame behemoth with its belly bursting out, spewing out all kinds of cosmic matter, while Elizabeth, who originally orbited it, seemed like a sullen lover. At this critical moment, the woman swept away countless "property" and abandoned her husband and son.

It is the culprit that disturbed the warships under the jurisdiction of the two major fleets!

Although it has been more than 200 years since human beings have entered the cosmic civilization, in the eyes of some scientists, the development of science and technology in the field of aerospace has not been satisfactory, especially in warp flight. Strictly speaking, the speed engine developed by humans by deciphering Epsilon technology is not a speed engine in the full sense, but a castrated version.

First of all, in the process of establishing the curvature field, the spacecraft must be free from external interference, form a stable warping response, build a space-time bubble, and then enter the virtual space. If ignoring external forces, forcibly constructing time and space bubbles and entering virtual space, it may bring unexpected consequences. For example, the amount of warpage is inaccurate, causing the spacecraft to leave the virtual space at a different position from the destination, which is thousands of miles away. It may even appear near stars or in the planet's crust, directly killing all crew members.

Second, in the process of constructing the space bubble, the compression value must be calculated according to the distance between the target location and the position of the battleship, and the warpage of the space bubble must be determined. During the virtual space flight, according to the warping principle, the space behind will push the ship forward. During this period, the warping amount cannot be changed. To put it simply, once the battleship has determined its target, it cannot stop halfway or change its destination during the virtual space-time flight The above-mentioned shortcomings only exist on the warp-speed engine made by humans. As for the engine carried by the Ypsilon spacecraft, it can be said to be perfect in comparison. It is not only highly flexible, and its speed level also far exceeds human level 7, reaching the terrifying level 9.99.

Elizabeth of the route is very elegant, elegant to Austin sat up from the couch, almost forgotten his lordship, viciously cursed "BITCH!"

Because she is like a bad woman with two boats. Whether it is the Holy Violet Fleet or the Thunder Fleet, it is within its gravitational influence.

"Navigation team, what are you doing? Start the navigation aid unit and drag it down. We all have to die here!"

Dennis, who was in charge of the pilot work, replied with a grieved expression: "General, the auxiliary unit is already operating, but it takes a certain amount of time to balance the external forces on the hull."

After finishing speaking, he muttered again in a whispering volume: "Zeus, it is an aircraft carrier."

"Huh..." Austin exhaled a suffocating breath and punched the arm of the sofa hard.

"Report to the general that the countless asteroids exploded by Namistar are approaching our fleet quickly." At this moment, the intelligence officer dropped another blockbuster.

Austin did not move this time, but the expression on his face became more and more ugly: "Remind the ships to prepare for the upcoming shock."

"Yes, General."

(Don’t worry, there will be another chapter of the Nami Star story tomorrow.)
