StarCraft breaks through American comics

"I am innocent, I am innocent. Comrade Xia Yan knows me! Give him a call again!" a former captain shouted when he was arrested.

But will NKVD comrades listen to his explanation? Obviously not.

"No need to say anything! If you talk nonsense again, go and explain this to Comrade Lenin!" The somewhat fat former captain's quibbles came to an abrupt end when an electromagnetic pistol was pressed against his forehead.

He wisely kept his mouth shut.

It's better to work in a water-ice mining base on Europa's ice than to take a bullet.

"Click!" The NKVD comrades didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he was taken away directly.

There are many former captains arrested like him.

……

M3 globular star cluster.

All ships of the Alliance battle group that have completed overhaul, refueling and warm-up have activated their jump drives.

After a period of calculation, they will jump into hyperspace again and head to the other end of the core of the galaxy.

This is a longer flight and will take about twice as long as the previous flight to the M3 globular cluster.

"It's time, everyone, let's go!" Looking down at his watch, Xia Yan signaled the entire fleet to set off immediately.

The tail nozzles of all ships' warp drives began to glow with a dazzling blue light.

In a moment, the entire battle group disappeared into the relatively bright starry sky background of M3.

The fighter jets of the local Nova Corps unit responsible for monitoring them circled the original position of the Alliance battle group several times to determine whether they were really gone.

"It seems they have really left. We can rest assured and report immediately." Seeing the Tyranid fleet leaving, they finally felt relieved.

……

About half a month later, the Alliance battle group that had left hyperspace appeared in a bright diffuse emission nebula.

This emission nebula cannot be seen from Earth because the light from the massive and star-dense core region of the Milky Way and the large amount of thick dust clouds completely obscure or block its relatively weak light at a greater distance.

It can only be seen from Earth using infrared and radio telescopes.

But if it were located on the side visible from the Earth, its brightness per unit area would be comparable to the Orion Nebula (although it is only a quarter of the size of the Orion Nebula).

However, although the temperature of the nebula material itself is not low, and can be as high as tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius depending on their distance from the hot young massive stars, they are too thin to cause any harm to ships.

The temperature of the sun's corona is even higher, as high as one million degrees Celsius, but even spacecraft produced on the earth today can survive it with basically no damage.

Still the same reason, the density is too low.

Only ordinary electromagnetic communication will be interfered by these emission nebulae composed of thin, high-temperature plasma, but they are using quantum communication, so there is no need to worry about this problem at all, and they can just go through it boldly.

The reason why this nebula is so hot is that it contains more than a dozen young stars with a mass at least thirty times greater than the mass of the sun. The strong stellar winds and high-intensity ionizing radiation they emit are constantly heating the entire nebula.

Of course, it is also possible that the calculation is wrong, because they only use computers and rely on the measured brightness to make estimates, which may have large errors.

Because the brightness of stars is not constant, for example, our sun was at least 30% less bright in its early years than it is now.

The most accurate way is to first find a way to fly into the orbits of these stars, and then measure their gravitational acceleration.

Of course, that's not what they should do now.

The first task is to replenish fuel and perform maintenance again.

Xia Yan didn't want any inexplicable non-combat attrition, which would make him uncomfortable.

Although the technology of jumping originated from the knowledgeable Xel'Naga, it was the first time for a human spacecraft to jump such a long distance.

The flight to the M3 globular star cluster spans more than 3 light-years, and the straight-line distance from M in the galactic halo to the other end of the Milky Way core is more than light-years.

As expected, several Liberators' warp drives had some problems at the end of the warp. Some of them have insufficient power output, and some simply cannot start after shutting down.

Although they still completed this time unscathed, the furthest jump by Tyranid humans in history.

"Have the SCV be replaced immediately! Other ships must also conduct self-inspections again, and repair them immediately if any abnormalities are found." The Hercules-class transport ships and Zeus-class armed transport ships accompanying the team all carried a lot of spare parts, including the Liberator/ Warp drive used by the Valkyrie frigate.

"Damn flies, get out of here! Why didn't those people spray some insecticide before getting on the boat?!" An SCV driver was complaining about the alliance's inadequacy in pest control.

He wanted to slap it to death, but thinking about his last colleague who accidentally triggered the self-destruction program for swatting a fly and was imprisoned for a week, he decisively withdrew his angry hand.

However, there is one thing to say, flies are indeed very annoying and extremely tenacious animals.

It can basically go wherever humans can go.

As long as you provide it with a breeding ground, a steady stream of flies will appear.

Like it, there are cockroaches and mosquitoes.

Humanity has never completely defeated them on earth. Even in space and entering the interstellar age, it is still the same.

Even on the TVZ battlefield, they could encounter a bunch of cockroaches and mosquitoes.

However, this kind of cockroach and this kind of mosquito are more powerful than the cockroaches and mosquitoes on the earth.

The former can not only spit corrosive bile at you, but can also scratch people with their claws or dig holes. Some cockroaches can also breathe fire.

The latter can speed up the plane and spaceship that comes to find you and explode itself.

It took them half a day to complete the overhaul and spare parts replacement.

Planets around massive stars are essentially devoid of naturally occurring life.

Because usually in just a few million years, they will enter the end of their lives and be wiped out in a brilliant and dazzling supernova explosion.

However, several major empires in the galaxy will try to dig up some treasures on the planets around these stars. Generally speaking, they will station some troops permanently.

But as soon as they discover that these stars have abnormal expansion and contraction trends, they will immediately pack up their belongings, pack up their bedding and carry buckets and run away.

Can he be like Naion's fanatic of Amon who took too much terazine (it seems that this guy offended Marash, was thrown into the terizine gas spring, overdosed on the drug and became insane), forcing his subordinates to accompany him. After all, there are only a few madmen who died in the supernova explosion together with the ruins.

But these planets orbiting massive stars are indeed rich in resources.

Because they, like their host stars, are very young, the relatively dense heavy metal elements have not yet had time to precipitate into the core, making them easy to mine.

Even the Tyranid humans can mine on Char, which has basically no stable solid surface. There is no reason why these aliens, whose scientific and technological levels are much higher than the Tyranid humans, can't (but they convert technology into productivity and limited degree of combat effectiveness).

But not all such places are occupied.

For example, the Alliance battle group docked in this galaxy to replenish fuel.

The main star of this galaxy is a blue giant with a surface temperature above 29000 K, and its mass is approximately times the mass of the sun.

About three light-years away from this galaxy, there is a huge and thick dust cloud.

It was originally born from this huge dust cloud.

The released Iron Crow drone showed that several spacecraft were following them.

The initial suspicion is that they are interstellar pirates, but the Iron Crow operators are not sure yet whether they are their "old friends" the predators.

These ships tracking the Alliance battle group followed at a distance, and whenever the crows flew towards them, these ships would flee.

But after a while, they came back again. And according to the signal just intercepted by Iron Crow, they are indeed the scouts of a group of nearby pirates.

They focused on the Hercules transport ships without weapons protection.

In the dust cloud next to this diffuse emission nebula, there is a deserted zone similar to the Port of the Dead.

It is full of chaos, violence, deception and other things that are extremely uncomfortable for people in civilized countries.

That guy Tychus would probably like this kind of place, but he's busy running the gang in Hell's Kitchen right now and doesn't have much time to hang out here.

When the name of this planet is translated into a language that humans can understand, it should be called the Big Garbage Pile.

And it is almost certainly a big garbage dump, with a lot of garbage people living here.

Many groups of interstellar pirates, including the plunderers in the nearby star areas, use this small planet as a place to sell their stolen goods. Even local officials in certain colonies of the Shi'ar Empire will use this place to cash in after they have privately embezzled public property.

Although it is very chaotic here, at least the reputation of these stolen goods and liquidation industries here is still good, as long as you have the ability to drive away or kill all the guys who dare to have inappropriate thoughts about your money after you go out.

The group of pirates targeting the Alliance battle group are called Predators.

Every year, there are basically unlucky passenger or cargo spacecrafts that are robbed and kidnapped by them.

Their home base is in another galaxy only two light years away from the big garbage dump.

The main star of this galaxy is still in the pre-main sequence stage, the radiation is unstable, and the planetary disk is almost entirely filled with meteorites.

This provides them with perfect cover to hide.

Their lair is located on a large space station.

Therefore, they are not afraid of those meteorites at all. If they are small, they can directly shoot them away, while if they are too big, they can directly maneuver the space station to avoid them.

However, this group of pirates is relatively sensible, and they, the rabbits, do not dare to eat the grass on the edge of the large garbage dump.

Pirates also know that cutting leeks cannot dig up the roots.

"Send four brigades of Viking fighters and Wraith fighters to drive them away! If you dare to come back, you don't need to ask for permission, you can just open fire!" Since this group of interstellar pirates have had an undue influence on their ships, ideas, then they must bear the corresponding price for this.
