Beneath Deep Space

Things in the world are like this. If the escape goes smoothly, all the risks will be worth it, and this operation will be a great achievement; if the escape fails, the leader Yu Yifeng will bear most of the blame...

Fortunately, from now on, the probability of people escaping is getting higher and higher.

The trajectory of the spacecraft has been calculated in advance. There are no large meteorites on this straight line, nor will they pass near the central star and be squeezed by gravity.

The forward direction of the spacecraft is at an angle of 140 degrees to the opponent's movement trajectory.

Although there may be some small meteorites on the way that cannot be directly detected by gravitational wave telescopes, Deep Space has some risks when passing through the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.

But...the matter in the universe is scarce after all. These things are always small-probability events. People can no longer control so much. Let's escape at high speed first.

"Lao Xu, you should go and have a rest too! Rest for a while... I have a lot of things to do later!" Yu Yifeng patted him on the shoulder.

Xu Yunjin waved his hand and said with some worry: "I'm not very tired. I'm wondering if our current situation is a bit similar to the original Green Light Civilization?"

"Hasn't the Green Light Man been overtaken yet?" Xu Yunjin asked doubtfully, "Escape through curvature navigation is not foolproof..."

Yu Yifeng was stunned. This was a problem that he had not thought about.

Hearing this question, Dr. Rimbaud, who was standing aside, said: "This question is very simple... The movement of curvature navigation is basically linear, and the trajectory is easy to infer. Moreover, the spaceship will leave behind thermal radiation and dark matter disorder along the way. , these traces will not disappear immediately, it can be inferred.”

"Besides, curvature navigation also requires a large amount of energy to maintain... It can barely be supported by nuclear fusion."

"So I estimate that the Green Light Man's spaceship suffered heavy losses, and finally ran out of energy, so they planned to forcefully run to the solar system to replenish it, and then were caught up... Everyone also knows that the engine of their spacecraft was really badly damaged, and the infrared radiation at that time was too big."

Seeing people's thinking expressions, Dr. Rimbaud continued: "For us, there is nothing to worry about. Because our Deep Space doesn't look big, but actually? There is a Noah inside. A lot of stuff is stored!”

"Even if we catch up to the edge of the galaxy, we won't use up all the energy! We still have a lot of helium-3, and we can keep flying. Don't worry, everyone!"

Hearing these words, Xu Yunjin nodded, his heart finally relieved.

Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "Of course we can hold on for a long time, but the other party doesn't know how long we can hold on! Maybe, they will chase us like mad dogs... and want to outlast us?"

"Especially, when they find out that Gaia creatures have been taken away by us, they will definitely pursue us..."

"This escape may be a long-term project. Everyone must not let down their guard!"

Seeing everyone's slightly disappointed mood, Yu Yifeng added: "I have talked with several scientists. In fact, we still have many, many future research directions, and various theories have great potential to be explored. We just need time to do this part of the process...decades, maybe centuries."

"The emergence of 'Ling' has also made up for the industrial difficulties caused by the small population to a certain extent. In the future, we can look for a large amount of water to increase her body and increase her industrial production capacity."

"We can even use her to directly start L3-level nanotechnology research... At least, the manufacturing of nanomaterials will become less difficult."

"As long as we survive this wave, our future will definitely be bright!"

After saying these words, everyone dispersed and went to work when it was time to go on duty and rest when it was time to rest. If we don't rest, a large area of ​​people will probably collapse before the Deep Space falls.

Lieutenant Jarion is fully armed and holding instruments with a serious face. He is leading the team to carefully check the outer network of the Deep Space and the dilapidated rooms one by one.

What the soldiers are holding is a low-power electromagnetic pulse device. If it encounters small-scale nanobugs, it will directly release electric pulses to kill them.

These small things that are difficult to see with the naked eye have not particularly strong vitality and can be quickly killed by electric current, high temperature or certain chemicals.

However, due to the huge number, it is difficult to completely remove them, so now it is the fifth inspection.

Jarion clearly knew the power of it. At the height of the battle, he once saw with his own eyes a five-meter-wide metal wall that could withstand nuclear bomb attacks, being broken down into micron-sized dust within ten seconds!

Even several comrades behind the wall screamed and fell into the universe because they were too close, and they were directly decomposed into ashes.

They even... didn't even know that their bodies were covered with nanobugs. They only realized it a second before death. The cry for help when they found that most of their bodies were mutilated before death made people deeply afraid. , fearful...

Whenever he thinks of that kind of shouting, Jerion's heart seems to have been violently tugged by an invisible hand.

But whether it was fear or something else, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on working, because he was once a captain...

An unqualified captain during a war with the creatures of Gaia.

He remembered the docile words given by Security Minister Xu Yunjin.

"Lieutenant Jerryn, I think you should be very clear about your performance in that war, right? Very bad, yes, this poor temporary reaction ability is a manifestation of failure... It is completely inconsistent with your usual performance."

"That time, in the war with Gaia creatures, we were the technologically superior party, we had enough tolerance, so we survived until now. But what about the future? If we become the technologically inferior party, I don't know what the ending will be... Think about it, our mothership was destroyed, and our relatives were captured. No one wants such an ending."

"We are soldiers, we face it head-on. The greatest fear in the world is... death! We should have known this the moment we joined the army. Soldiers are not about romance or flying spaceships to show off! Soldiers are the strongest shield of the new human civilization! We must never retreat and fear, we are steel, we obey battlefield orders, and we are brave sacrificers..."

"Not just you, but also you, you are all a group of cowards now! Cowards who are useless!"

Xu Yunjin's roar at the time was still lingering in his ears, and Jerryen's eyes were full of tears. He thought of his comrades who were decomposed into ashes and clenched his fists.

Defending our homeland, we did it!

We are not cowards!

Don't be afraid of your enemies, cowards will die of shame!

Jerryen calmed down, and the soldiers below finally finished checking the last isolation room of the Deep Space. This isolation room was originally all nitrogen-fixed armor, but now a wall is gone, and the ground is full of potholes.

These are all... the masterpieces of nanoworms.

"No traces of active nanoworms were found." Hearing this report, Jerryn let out a long sigh.

"Fifth manual inspection, correct!"

The entire Deep Space was like a bone gnawed by a dog, with a piece missing here and there, which made him feel very distressed.

This is their mothership, and it is so broken that it feels like their hometown has been destroyed. The new generation of humans, who have received special education since childhood, love their mothership very much. When they see all this, they are sad and a little angry.

This mood is very good. Jerryn nodded and shouted loudly: "Listen, it's time to rotate the duty now. Everyone should disband and rest first, and gather here in 10 hours."

"Okay, everyone go to rest, disband!"

After watching groups of soldiers staggering away, Jerryn looked at the casualties that had just come out.

In fact, there were not many casualties in this interstellar war. After all, it is impossible for soldiers to run to the front line to shoot, and only a few died.

But the death of each soldier makes people feel the strong cruelty of the war, and Jerryn sighed heavily again.

Just thinking about it, he felt a little hungry, and hurried back to the junction of Noah and Deep Space, ordered a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, and smelled the smell, and immediately felt refreshed.

Many soldiers were enjoying the food here.

It was a pity that he had been stationed in "Dig 114" for so long, and he had been eating canned food all the time, so his digestion was not very good, and now he couldn't eat meat and other things for the time being.

The chewy ramen, with some tomatoes, and the tender yellow scrambled eggs, smelled fragrant.

The soup was a little red and green onions, and the taste was a little sour and salty.

"It's delicious!"

To be honest, Jerian still likes this traditional Chinese food. He "gulped" a mouthful of soup and felt that it warmed his whole stomach.

"This is the life of a human being." He enjoyed it very much.

Eating canned food for a long time in "Dig 114" was almost dull, and now a bowl of tomato and egg noodles was enough to make him feel happy.

Humans are such contradictory species. Sometimes people have high demands, and sometimes they have low demands.

When you are poor, having a full meal is happiness; when you are rich, you don’t feel that way.

When you are young and healthy, you absolutely don’t feel any happiness, as if good health is natural. But every time you are sick and uncomfortable, or even paralyzed in bed, you will miss the dispensable health.

Whenever you regret it, you will be very happy at the moment of recovery.

Similarly, this emotion can also be derived from parents being alive, family harmony and warmth, etc.

After the war, the slight stability, whether it is soldiers, ordinary civilians, or experts and professors, all feel quite satisfied... This is human beings!

"You are here! Ah! Still alive, so good..." A female scream suddenly came from outside, with surprise in her voice.

Jerryan recognized the voice as his girlfriend who had quarreled with him a few days ago... Xi Muzi. He quickly looked up and said, "Well, eating... Hey, don't come in yet! This is the military canteen!"

The enthusiastic girl couldn't help but push the door in.

She was holding all kinds of exquisite food in her hands. After seeing Jerryan, she put the food on the table and gave him a hug with great excitement. Tears in her eyes couldn't help but drip down.

"This is the military canteen! Ah, how can ordinary people get in." Seeing the teasing eyes of many comrades, Jerryan said unhappily, but the feeling of seeing his relatives was so good that he felt his nose was sour. .

In the past, he always felt that Xi Muzi had various shortcomings, but now, he felt that she was so cute.

"The minister has agreed for us to come to visit!" Ximuzi pointed to the things on the plate: "I thought you were still on duty... I even thought you were already..."

As she spoke, she started to cry softly.

Because, there are indeed other girls crying faintly, their relatives are gone.

Jarion was silent, feeling sad while enjoying this faint warmth. He sighed again: "I thought about it, I can't beat it, there is no comparison at all. If I didn't have so much luck, maybe... deep It’s hard to escape with an empty number.”

"We don't have an ion shield, and it's difficult to increase the speed of the electromagnetic gun. It can't hit the opponent's large spacecraft at all... We can only use small drones to do some damage at close range... A suicide attack?"

"And these unmanned spacecraft are still the opponent's vanguard suicide squad, and the main force did not appear at all. Maybe the opponent has more advanced weapons, but we don't know..."

"For example, there are super-light curvature missiles, but they have not been brought out... Or there are technologies to interfere with the curvature engine, such as anti-gravity, maybe?"

Xizi wiped away tears and slid his fingers on the table a few times: "Okay, you don't have to think so much. We have only entered interstellar civilization for a few years. How can we beat another veteran with a higher level of technology? interstellar civilization?”

Another soldier sighed and said: "The other party may be just an ordinary fleet in an interstellar civilization, and then it is just a drone death squad in an ordinary fleet... But we have already used almost all our strength."

"Wars between civilizations are a competition of comprehensive strength. Excellent tactics can give certain advantages in local wars, but it is difficult to change the overall situation... This is the gap in comprehensive strength."

Jarion nodded: "You are right, but the problem now is that we don't know how many years we will be on the run."

"As long as the other party builds some drones and monitors nearby star areas, it is estimated that all the stars within hundreds or thousands of light years will be unusable. Fortunately, we have sufficient material reserves, but we don't know if we can sustain it for so many years."

Faced with his slight complaint, Xi Muzi wiped his tears, raised his head and said seriously: "In short, as long as we are together, the future will be bright, isn't it? There will always be a way..."
