time traveler

The tail of the "Dragon Xiao" unfolded, revealing the hidden propellers, and orange-red fireworks spewed out from the propellers. The smooth battleship was like a giant metal beast released from its cage, piercing the dark and cold deep space , rushed into the vast sea of ​​stars.

Andrew looked at the time. It took a while to go through the formalities because he was going to release Luther on bail. Now it is not much time before the set time. In order to arrive on time, he sent an order to turn on the turbo-hydraulic speed booster and move forward at full speed.

"Received!" Luther instantly cheered up when he heard the words.

The armor on the two wings of the "Dragon Xiao" was opened, and the speed booster was turned on. The battleship suddenly rushed out like a wild horse, and passed over a star at high speed. Luther yelled happily, turned the steering wheel, and the battleship turned , cut across the gravitational intersection of the two planets.

"Lu! De!" Andrew stabilized his body, smiling like a spring breeze, but the throbbing veins on his forehead revealed his true emotions.

"Don't worry, Captain! I'll definitely arrive at the assembly point on time!" Luther said with high spirits, and then turned the steering wheel, and the battleship turned sideways again, flying past a huge planetary gravity field like a show, and the outer repulsion on the edge Sex gave the battleship a free acceleration, and it rushed forward frantically.

"Ouch—" Xia Run grabbed the vomit bag with a pale face, and vomited again. The excitement when he first boarded the battleship has long been overwhelmed. This is completely different from the simulated scene during training, okay?He just wants to keep his feet on the ground now!

Although the faces of the other members were also not very good, they were all used to Luther's virtue, and they had long since seen it as strange.

The battleship took a shortcut again. Amidst the exclamation of the team members, it darted into a huge planetary ring belt without hesitation, and leaped around in the halo of ring particles covered with gravel and dust. The "Dragon Owl" is a knight-class The battleship, the defense of the hull itself is very strong, and most of the broken meteorites in the ring can't do anything to it. The slightly larger ones are all bypassed by Luther. With their exclamations, they rushed out from the other side of the planetary ring.

Xia Run, who had been tossed into a salted fish on the shore, had no time to appreciate the magnificent and beautiful planetary rings with six colors and 106 halos. He slumped on his seat and retched, his mind was flooded by the barrage of "I'm going to die, I'm going to die".

The veins on Andrew's forehead were twitching. He looked up at the time, and when he had almost caught up, he gritted his teeth and said, "Luther! Switch back to automatic driving!"

Luther shrugged, switched the control mode, let go of the steering wheel, put his hands on the back of his head, and began to whisper, "It's so boring, I'm not having fun."

Seeing that Luther was finally at ease, the teammates finally breathed a sigh of relief, and if he continues to toss them, they will be belched before the destination is reached, okay?

The autopilot was turned on, the battleship slowly slowed down, and the system began to recalculate the star map, looking for a safe and comfortable route.

In fact, the shock absorption effect of the current warships is very good. As long as they don't drill into the planet's gravitational circle like Luther, they won't feel much vibration when flying on the normal course.

The warship finally stopped bouncing like a shofar wind. Xia Run recovered his strength, took the hot cocoa handed over by Xiaoyou with trembling hands, drank it tremblingly, and felt much better. On the smooth course, he felt almost fully attuned.

"Is it better?" Xiaoyou asked.

"Probably." Xia Run held the cocoa cup with lingering fear.

"Luther is a good pilot. He can calculate the correct orbit within half a second in complex and variable parameters such as planetary rings' complex gravity fields, overlapping magnetic fields, irregular relative positions, etc., just by looking with the naked eye. And correct the direction in the remaining half a second, so that the battleship safely passed the zero point..." Xiaoyou patted Xia Run on the shoulder, "Look, it's incredible to say that, even the central optical brain of the central star It may not be impossible, but Luther did it."

Xiaoyou paused, then suddenly remembered something, and laughed loudly: "Although he himself has always emphasized that the course is calculated by his clever and extraordinary brain, we all suspect that he actually drives the battleship by feeling—if he If he can really figure it out, then his brain must have been thoroughly steamed due to the heat brought by the excessively fast operation—just like steamed buns!"

Hearing that Xia Run couldn't help imagining the scene of smoke rising above Luther's head, she immediately burst out laughing.

"This is your first mission, so you may not understand, knowing that a good driver can save your life at a critical moment, and Luther has saved us many times, we are very grateful to him, trust He." Xiaoyou shrugged, made a helpless expression, and finally concluded, "This is why although he is fooling around, drinking and making troubles, and has a lot of bad problems, the captain and we are willing to tolerate him."

"No, I can understand." Xia Run said, because he also has a trustworthy partner, but he is still sleeping, "I am always easy to trust others."

"Human nature is kind, that's good, because you will have to be saved by him in the future!" Xiaoyou laughed again. He stood up and poured himself a glass of Lele.

At the end of the topic, Xia Run held the cocoa cup and stared at the porthole in a daze. In the past six months, M has not woken up, and the consecutive prophetic dreams have not appeared. The space-time rift has never called him again, and he has gradually adapted to this strange place. cosmic life.

I have adapted to high-intensity training, to the lack of nutrient solution, to Andrew's dark belly under his sunny smile, to Ivy's chest hugging that seems to be everywhere, the loud voice of Hans Army Commander, the glamorous The secretary, Zubert the Second Innocent... and his companions, his small team...

However, he is reluctant to let go of his homeland. His world, his hometown, and his relatives are all his longing and dreaming pursuits.

Although it would definitely be sad to give up everything in front of him, if the rift in time and space calls him again, he will still look for it without hesitation!Because his heart to go home has never changed!

The "Dragon Xiao" drove smoothly and quickly in the galaxy for two hours, and arrived at the assembly point on time, where the scientific research spacecraft of the expedition team was already waiting for them.

After the docking of the spacecraft was completed, the "Dragon Xiao" dragged the huge scientific research spacecraft to the transfer point, ready to open the wormhole and fly at warp speed.

Regarding the teleportation point, Xia Run has seen a related information before: the distribution of space repulsion in the universe of this world is not uniform. If you carry out ultra-short-distance teleportation within 100 light-years, you can open a miniature wormhole anytime and anywhere. , the pressure inside is not too big, and the physical fitness can reach the double C level. Whether it is human or Zerg, this has always been the first choice for warships to leave the battlefield and retreat strategically.

However, the disadvantage of miniature wormholes is also obvious, that is, the distance is too close! The distance of 100 light years is not even a speck of dust in this vast and boundless universe!Therefore, if you want to cross several galaxies or even farther distances, if you still use miniature wormholes, let’s not talk about other things, just say that when you reach the destination, maybe your great-grandson will be soy sauce!

In order to solve such problems, human beings have spent a lot of resources to develop a space repulsion opening device. This device is placed on a node with weak space repulsion, and it usually absorbs the idle energy in the universe by itself. If you want to carry out long-distance transmission, just link the device and activate it. Wormholes will do.

Save time, electricity and energy, fast and convenient, soeasy!

However, the Zerg also quickly discovered this free ride, and secretly used it secretly. The human side will definitely quit. I will pay for money, products, and technology. Zerg harassment, when it is finally repaired, the shameless Zerg came up again, you said you didn’t help when you repaired it and made trouble, and you didn’t hesitate when you used it, why?

So humans began to study the defense system of the teleportation point, and put traps for the Zerg at the teleportation point... However, the Zerg may be lacking in mechanical technology because of their racial talent, but they are top-notch in biotechnology. No matter how many defense systems and traps you humans design, I will evolve how many countermeasures against them. At first, I used them secretly, but later I used them openly. It looks like you can do anything to me, and the human beings are crying. Scolding mother, and you can’t withdraw the net in a fit of anger. After all, the lifespan of high-level Zerg is more than ten times that of human beings. As long as low-level cannon fodder is brought to the nest, you can have as much as you want. Long-distance interstellar travel does not matter to them. take a moment?We are not afraid!

Humans have nothing to do about the sloppy behavior of the Zerg. They are not afraid, but humans can't afford it!But it's impossible for them to admit it, so to this day, the two races are still competing with each other for the defense of the teleportation point.

The "Dragon Xiao" was connected to the transmission device, and a huge energy group gathered in the void, gradually forming a black wormhole, and the battleship slowly drove in under the control of the system.

By the time their battleship jumped out of the wormhole again, it had arrived at the destination unknown galaxy.

All members of the first team woke up from the dormant cabin and returned to their seats. Captain Andrew contacted the scientific research spacecraft that was still in docking state on the stern, confirmed that everything was normal, and then ordered to advance to the target planet.

It was a terrestrial planet. Seen from space, the planet was full of vibrant green, with light red and light purple of different sizes distributed in it, and scattered golden awns like diamonds. Flickering continuously, the pink-white cyclone, which is as light as thin smoke, floats on the atmosphere like tulle, making the whole planet like a fairy tale world, very beautiful and dreamy.

The advanced detector has entered the planet's atmosphere one step ahead of time, extracting the components of the air and soil for detailed analysis, determining the composition of the air, analyzing the types of microorganisms, virus groups, etc., to measure whether the planet meets the landing requirements-although the scientific research team is applying for a mission At the time, these materials have already been submitted together, but it is always good to be careful.

While waiting, Xiaoyou pointed to those flashing golden lights and said to Xia Run: "Those flashing ones are energy trees, rare interstellar species, they can produce a huge biological energy, this energy has always been a strategic reserve resource, those Flash is the unique 'decompression method' of energy trees. They will emit excess energy into the air, preventing the trunks storing energy from bursting due to too much energy, and only energy trees that have grown for more than a thousand years can emit this kind of external energy. The light that can be seen from space, I guess, the scientific research team is probably here for these trees!"

"Xiaoyou, you really know a lot!" Xia Run exclaimed.

"It's nothing!" Xiaoyou continued to attack Xia Run without humility, "My talent for spiritual awakening is picture memory. I took all the pictures of 6000 million biological data in my favorite "Encyclopedia of Cosmic Biology" Memorize it, and if you come across a species you don’t know, you can ask me later!”

……black line!Which normal person would carry that thing on the back!Xia Run covered his face, he didn't want to chat with Xueba!Injury to self-esteem!

After confirming that everything was normal, the "Dragon Owl" flew into the atmosphere with the scientific research spacecraft, and slowly stopped on the troposphere of the planet. Andrew ordered the release of the unmanned reconnaissance plane, and the first round of exploration began. Four combat pilots and six scientific research pilots The personnel lie down in the nutrition cabin, the mental power is introduced into the transmission equipment, and the respective drones are connected. The bottom cabin of the "Dragon Xiao" is opened, and tens of thousands of drones rush out like locusts and spread out in all directions.

The world experienced an AI (artificial intelligence) revolution hundreds of years ago, and mankind paid a painful price to win the final victory. This catastrophe wiped out many brilliant and advanced scientific and technological achievements in this human-machine revolution. There was no trace of the Great War, and the technological level of the entire world has regressed for hundreds of years. The regressed productivity cannot keep up with the advanced social needs, and the social form has also been divided and degraded from the communist society, forming the current federation and empire.

After experiencing a painful lesson, the Federation and the Empire jointly formulated the "Interstellar AI System Restriction Convention". Now all intelligent systems are strictly controlled in different grades according to their size, lethality and purpose, such as battleships. A huge destructive war machine, its AI system is controlled at a rather low level, with almost no intelligence at all, and low intelligence also leads to a very slow response ability, so the first round of exploration missions are generally carried out by the navigator by drones manually.

This was the first time Xia Run saw the grand occasion of the navigator dispatching drones, and it was very novel. He pulled Xiaoyou's arm and asked curiously in a low voice: "Xiaoyou, what does it feel like to be mentally linked to so many drones?

Xiaoyou, as the chief navigator of the first team, did not participate in this mission. At this moment, he was sipping hot cocoa, and tilted his head in doubt when he heard the words: "Each person is only connected to a thousand ships, which is called Is there a lot?"

"Then how much can you link?"

"It depends on the situation, generally at least twelve thousand."

……Young man, can we be more humble?Look at your eyebrows, they are almost flying!

Xia Run held back, but still didn't overpower his curiosity and asked: "The point is how does it feel to be linked? Is it difficult to control so many links?"

"What's so difficult about this? Mental power is like your extended fingers. It can be directly connected to the brain without nerve center transmission. This way the reaction is faster. It can be said to hit wherever you want, how convenient it is!"

Xia Run's black thread, what a rotten metaphor, who has 1 fingers!Can I still watch it?

"As for whether I can take care of it..." Xiaoyou took another sip of hot cocoa, and said happily, "I have double-A qualifications in mental strength, and I almost got S. This amount is not a piece of cake for me. dish."

Yes Yes Yes!You are the best!Xia Run pursed his lips secretly, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, if only he had such a powerful mental power!

Xiaoyou stood up holding the cocoa cup: "According to the size of this planet, after these reconnaissance planes fly a full circle and draw the topographic map for three hours, should I go to sleep or play for a while?" What about games?"

"What?" Xia Run exclaimed, "These navigators have to be connected continuously for three hours? Won't they be mentally exhausted?"

Xiaoyou burst out laughing: "Oh, Yanyue, you have read too many novels, you have a big brain, mental power is not water, how can it be exhausted? At most, it is just damaged, Bubble Spirit The power recovery liquid also slowed down, and besides, this is not a battlefield, you just need to fly in the designated direction, it’s only three hours, it’s totally fine! If it’s me, it’s fine for another [-] hours, but I ..."

"Double A-level mental strength, right?" Xia Run dragged his voice helplessly, "Okay, okay, I know you're good, go to sleep!"

"No...but I want to play games too!" Xiaoyou said with a sharp voice, coquettishly coquettishly, and then she couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh, made a face at Xia Run, and ran away with a smile on her face Lost.
