Starship: Traveling with Monsters

Interstellar voyage is a very long thing. Although human science and technology are developing day by day, and various space technologies can be used to accelerate space voyage, the universe is too wide, so wide that it seems that the edge will never be seen. The boundless space, in which human beings stand, is so small that it is almost invisible.

A light year is equal to the distance light travels in one year, which is about 600 billion kilometers.The diameter of the Milky Way, where the earth is located, is about [-] light-years.Calculated with such data, it is simply unimaginable how big the universe is!

Moreover, in today's era, because most of the travel in the universe adopts superluminal speed, for the pilots, it seems that it only takes a few minutes for them to cross the distance of several light years, but for the people on the earth, it has already passed several times. Year.

Because of this phenomenon, by the time pilots who traveled in space returned, decades had passed on Earth time!Friends and relatives around me are getting old!In order to rewrite this situation, the astronomers of the Academy of Sciences have finally developed the so-called 'subspace jump', which can make the spacecraft span hundreds of light-years in an instant!Moreover, if it is in the subspace, the time of the spaceship is coherent with that of the earth. When returning to the earth in the future, the time deviation is at most only a few months in the past, and there will never be a situation where it will take decades to return to the earth.

Therefore, the earth's aviation industry began to become more and more turbulent, and the young people who dreamed of exploring the secrets of outer space also became enthusiastic. After decades, the earth's interstellar colonies finally broke out of the Milky Way, and many, many human beings can choose to go there. Live on other planets in other galaxies.

But so far, although there are creatures on some planets, they are all primitive primitive creatures with only instincts. Human beings have not discovered any alien creatures with high intelligence. Unfortunately, no one wants to Abandon the purpose of the search.

-

The speed of the Blackbird is quite fast, and when about half a month of Earth time has passed, Lei Yu has roughly left the Milky Way.

At this time, he was sitting in the cockpit of the spaceship, drinking the 'cosmic coffee' he made himself

"Sure enough...drinking coffee in space, the liquid...will float up!" Lei Yu stared at the coffee floating in the air, the brown water droplets were crystal clear, the suspended state really It is very beautiful, Lei Yu thought about it, took out the camera from his pocket, and took a picture with a click.

"Show off to my brother when I go back~" Lei Yu stared at the picture in the camera, smiling treacherously: "But this is not enough, um...let's take some pictures of the starry sky, if I'm lucky enough, I can Did you see an interesting alien creature~”

When Lei Yu was squatting by the window of the spaceship and was about to take more photos, the central system inside the spaceship suddenly sounded an artificial intelligence voice: "Major Lei Yu, I am artificial intelligence 4687, on time, I will report to you Report the operation status of various parts of the spacecraft."

ah?Major?When Lei Yu heard this address, he didn't react for a while.It took a while to realize that I also have a military rank, this military rank... um, what is it?Is it the major?

Lei Yu didn't have much idea about the ranks of military ranks, and he couldn't figure out how big an official this major was, but he really didn't like someone calling him a major, even if it was just an artificial intelligence.

"No. 4687, now give an order with the highest piloting authority, don't call me a major, call me the captain, or just call me by my name." Lei Yu rubbed his nose, he had been expecting someone to call him the captain.

"Understood, Captain." The artificial intelligence's voice was flat and unwavering.

The so-called artificial intelligence is the central system installed in all kinds of spacecraft. It is a super helper for pilots in navigation. It can maximize the help of pilots to control the various situations of the spacecraft, help the flight, confirm the orbit, etc. The most important thing is, It can drive the spacecraft automatically, and it does not require the pilot to stay in the cockpit and stare at it all the time. It is a very convenient thing.

"Report to me about the operation status or something." Lei Yu flipped through the information in his hand, and began to record the voyage log with a pen, while listening to the report of the artificial intelligence absent-mindedly.According to artificial intelligence 4687, all parts of the spacecraft are in good condition at this time, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, at the end of the report, the artificial intelligence mentioned the right wing of the spacecraft, saying that there was a problem of energy dredging. phenomenon, and asked Lei Yu to check it out.

"Ah, it's so troublesome! The lack of energy flow is just the most trivial problem! Is the self-repair system of the spacecraft just for display?!" Lei Yu immediately broke out with laziness, laying motionless on the table, thinking about this. It is better to leave this kind of small problem to the artificial intelligence itself.

"Captain, the reason why the energy flow is not smooth is not internal, it seems to be an external leakage problem, for the sake of safety, please go and check it yourself." Although the number 4687 is strict, it is very stubborn and insists on asking Lei Yu to check it himself.

"It's really troublesome, really troublesome!" Lei Yu scratched his head depressedly: "That bastard engineer, Xie Wei, told me that there would be no problems before he left! It's all farting! Something went wrong so quickly!"

However, even though Lei Yu kept rambling on, he still got up and floated up, and floated towards the maintenance warehouse on the right wing of the spaceship.

However, after such an inspection, Lei Yu really found a big problem. It seems that during the assembly process of the spaceship, a screw screw for fixing on the right wing was not tightened, so the loosened main board tilted and hit the partition. on, and during the flight acted as friction, and the heat from the sparks burned away a small portion of the wiring.

Don't underestimate this small part of the line that was burned. It is likely to make the right wing fail, causing it to deviate from the track during the flight, and it may even never return to the correct course. This may make Lei Yu forever in the vast expanse Drift in the universe!

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time..." Lei Yu stared at the burned circuit, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suddenly felt like he was alive after a catastrophe: "I didn't expect it to turn into such a big problem. Hmm... Although it is no problem for me to change this part of the line, but when changing the line, the operation of the right wing is easy to fail. If you continue to fly, it will be very bad for the 'Blackbird'... ..."

"Captain, do you need to temporarily make an emergency landing on the planet?" Just as Lei Yu was staring at the circuit board and talking to himself, the artificial intelligence made a voice, and its voice penetrated the entire interior of the spaceship, causing waves of echoes.

"Hmm..." Lei Yu thought for a while: "Although it doesn't matter much if I change the route now, it is my first voyage after all... Ahhh, this kind of failure happened on the first voyage, am I human? The product is not good!"

"That damned Xie Wei said back then that he was fully prepared and there was nothing wrong with keeping it. What a fart!" Lei Yu grabbed his hair and complained vigorously, but in the end he said to the artificial intelligence: "Detect nearby planets that can land. , it seems that we are going to make an emergency landing."

"Understood, Captain." Artificial Intelligence No. 4687 strictly followed Lei Yu's order, and immediately began calling the system to detect nearby galaxies and planets. After about 5 minutes, No. 4687 gave the answer: "B-level warning, Captain, all nearby planets are Due to the orbit and the quality of the planet, it is impossible to make an emergency landing, and the only planet that can be forced to land is about thirteen light-years away from the current coordinates, do I need to use subspace jump?"

"Record our current coordinates, and then... start the subspace jump, let's see what kind of planet it is!" Lei Yu was suddenly interested in the planet he was about to crash land on, even though the spaceship would malfunction. It made him feel dissatisfied, but it was the first time he had experienced an emergency landing, and judging from the current situation, it was not particularly dangerous, so let it be an alternative learning experience!

However, Lei Yu didn't know at that time that the planet he was about to crash land on would bring him such a catastrophe!
