Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Seeing this, Li Meng said: "Go to star No. [-] to see, if the star ring is rich in mineral deposits, then build an ecosphere space station on the orbit of the planet!"

"The scanning array has locked on the No. [-] star, and the navigator can accurately locate it. Do you want to make a short-distance jump and enter the subspace?"

Donald responded to Li Meng.

A mechanical, hoarse voice sounded from Donald's hood again.

The space in the star system is very vast.

If sailing at sub-light speed, it would take at least a day or two.

This is a process from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow.

The farther the distance, the faster the speed.

If you are closer, you have to slow down before the speed is up, and push back.

Finally arrived at the destination at a safe speed.

Subspace navigation?
Curiosity flashed in his eyes, Li Meng nodded and said, "Let's go!"

In Warhammer 40K, the superlight flight of the human empire is through subspace.

An extremely dangerous dimension filled with evil consciousness.

Following Li Meng's order, the electronic eyes in Donald's hood flickered.

There were bursts of mechanical and hoarse voices from the bridge.

"Prepare for subspace navigation, all outer protective armor is closed..."

"Activate the Geller force field..."

"The subspace engine is ready to start, countdown: 15, 14..."

In the bridge, hoarse mechanical sounds echoed.

Li Meng could feel a tense atmosphere.

Outside the viewing window, the protective armor was slowly closed, from top to bottom, from bottom to top.

Out there, in the dark universe.

The huge Yuanxing sailed forward at high speed.

The thrusters at the tail ejected hundreds of meters of white plume, like a comet skimming across the starry sky.

If you look closely, you can see that the outer protective armor is slowly closing everywhere.

The white tail flames from the tail engine also gradually became weaker, and the speed slowed down.

During the voyage, suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

Just in front of Yuanxing's bow, the space seemed to be torn open, twisting crazily.

A purple-red energy body overflowed from the distorted space.

It turned into a huge, ferocious purple-red vortex.

The purple-red vortex is like a monster devouring people, with its mouth wide open.

Yuanxing, which was flying at high speed, crashed into it and disappeared without a trace.

Disappearing with it is the fuchsia swirl.

The whole process was very short, from space distortion to purple-red vortex appearing.

Then Yuanxing rushed into it, and the vortex disappeared.

The whole process takes less than ten seconds.

With the disappearance of Yuanxing, the dark universe has returned to its previous silence.

……

Star S-01888-1.

For a planet, there is no such thing as time.

They will spend tens of billions of years orbiting the star, and will eventually be swallowed by the star.

Humans have a hundred years of life, but their life is tens of billions of years.

They cannot speak and have no self-awareness.

It will only be pulled by gravity and float in the dark and cold universe.

Today, the Lonely No. [-] Star ushered in a new guest.

Outside the gravity well of Star One, a huge purple-red vortex suddenly appeared in the dark universe.

There was no dazzling brilliance, only a huge spaceship slowly flew out of the vortex.

As the vortex disappeared, the engine at the tail of Yuanxing once again spewed out a white tail flame hundreds of meters long.

If you look at the sky from the surface of the planet.

A comet can be seen in the sky, approaching the planet.

At this time, in the bridge of Yuanxing...

"It has left the subspace, the time axis is positioned, and it takes 13 seconds..."

"The sensor has captured star No. 1 and has arrived at the destination..."

"Open the outer protective armor..."

subspace...

Li Meng, who was sitting on the captain's chair, showed a strange expression.

Are there really those things in subspace?

Also, is there really a subspace in the real universe where the earth is located?

Subspace is just a setting in the game Warhammer 40K, how could it really exist.

But the reality tells Li Meng that subspace really exists.

There are also demons in the subspace, otherwise, the far traveler will not open the Geller force field.

You must know that one of the main functions of Geller's force field is to isolate the spaceship, prevent the invasion of demons, and prevent the chaotic energy from corroding the hull.

The more you think, the deeper you think, the more you feel a strong sense of unreality.

At this moment, the protective armor outside the window slowly opened...

As the protective armor was opened, in the starry sky outside, a bright khaki planet came into Li Meng's eyes.

Against the background of the star rings, it is so beautiful...

At this moment, Li Meng was shocked by the vastness of the starry sky and the beauty of the planet.

Never before had he seen a planet from such an angle.

What he saw in his eyes made Li Meng feel a little confused.

This may be the reason why human beings yearn for the universe.

Want to explore the unknown, want to experience the uncanny workmanship of the universe.

Outside, in the dark universe, the huge Yuanxing is slowly flying forward...

The reverse thrust engines on both sides of the ship's bow started, and a small white plasma plume was emitted, and the speed slowed down.

It gradually flew into the planet's gravity well, sailed above the star rings, and gradually deepened into the low-earth orbit.

Finally, Yuanxing stopped slowly above the edge of the star ring.

The group of small objects below is not stationary.

They float, move, collide.

Because they are so dense, their movement is like undulating waves.

Occasionally, some small celestial bodies deviate from the orbiting direction due to impacts.

They will fly out of the star ring, be pulled by the gravity of No. [-] star, and fall into the surface of the planet.

"Prince Regent, Yuanxing has already docked in the geostationary orbit of Star [-], please issue a new order."

Hearing this, Li Meng regained his spirit.

The star rings outside the viewing window seem to be close at hand, and you can reach out and explore them.

The next thing he has to do is to explore the treasure in the star ring.

Li Meng looked at Donald at the bottom of the steps.

"Send all the mining boats, their only mission is to explore the mineral deposits in the star ring."

Following Li Meng's order, the instructions were passed down layer by layer.

A few minutes later, two huge gates opened on the back belly of Yuanxing's huge hull.

A 150-meter-long "Iron Slave" mining boat flew out of the harbor and flew towards the group of small celestial bodies below.

The white tail flames from its tail are shining in the starry sky...

Above the star ring plane, the ten mining boats that left the ship spread out.

Under the impetus of the four engines at the rear, it clings to the plane of the star ring and flies further away.

Some mining boats even opened the bow and the mineral detection array on the belly.

The white light curtain waved out, forming dense plane rays that swept across the group of small celestial bodies below.

As the most common asteroid mining platform in the human empire.

The Iron Slave mining ship has a distinct Empire of Man art style.

The overall color is dark yellow, boxy, like a box.

It is 150 meters long, 60 meters wide and 30 meters high.

The style is also more rough, the engine is almost exposed.

The hull is also very rough, and the joints of the modules have not been polished or decorated.

The cargo hold in the front half of the hull is even more open.

You can even see a huge refining device on the deck.

Using a refiner, a mining ship can break down asteroids into fine pieces.

Then the ore powder is refined from the crushed powder, and finally sent to the smelting factory of Yuanxing.
