Galaxy Technology Empire

Helic Planetary Fortress.

The researchers accompanying the Alliance Army quickly arrived at the space port. A Longtooth Lion-class space battleship was quietly moored on it. From the hull number [CYS-ZL-001], it was known that it was the flagship of the attacking fleet.

There is also a row of battleships next to the Longtooth Lion. These are the battleships that attack the fleet.

Many maintenance workers and researchers have been inspecting each battleship. Although the battleship has not been directly attacked by dark energy beams or dark energy particle flows, some very tiny dark energy beams are difficult to prevent.

Most of the damage caused by these tiny dark energy beams is less than a centimeter. These damages may not seem serious, but over time, they may cause unpredictable catastrophic consequences, so they must be repaired or even replaced with external armor and Component.

Zhang Fubo, Andrew and others came down from the flagship. Wang Tiejun and Fan Lijia were already waiting for them below, while Titov and Lin Yaodong's second squadron of the attack fleet returned to the Helic Planetary Fortress a few months ago.

"Commander Wang! I failed the alliance by not bringing everyone back." Zhang Fubo saluted with tearful eyes.

Wang Tiejun patted him on the back: "In war, guns have no eyes. We say we can't predict life and death. At least you eliminated the invaders and comforted the spirits of the victims."

"..." Zhang Fubo was in a low mood. After all, 427 brothers who had been together day and night were buried in the void like this. He couldn't accept it for a while. Although he knew the cruelty of war, many people felt uncomfortable.

"Let's go! Go have a drink, I'll treat you." Wang Tiejun pulled Zhang Fubo and turned his head: "You guys come together too."

"Then we won't be polite." Andrew quickly changed the topic.

The others tried their best not to mention the counterattack and headed towards the bar, joking and swearing. There were many soldiers or citizens floating around the spaceport along the way.

Although the Helic Planetary Fortress is a major military base in the Polaris region, there are still quite a few citizens living and working here.

Now the North Star Zone is defended by the Third Army. The entire Third Army has a standing army of 8.3 million people and manages 22 squadrons and 17 large and small planetary fortresses.

As for the Helic Planetary Fortress, where the Third Army's headquarters is located, there are 1.8 million soldiers alone. So many people can't live without some life and entertainment industry, right? So many citizens immigrated here from Blue Star to do business. There are a lot of bars, game arcades, and restaurants on Planet Helic.

Suddenly, a group of people including Wang Tiejun, Zhang Fubo and others came towards me. Wang Tiejun was stunned and greeted with a smile: "Colonel Ma Wu, are you setting off today?"

The person coming was Ma Wu, the captain of the Explorer. Ma Wu saluted and replied: "Commander Wang! We are about to set off, who are they?"

Wang Tiejun introduced with a smile: "The commander of the attacking fleet, Zhang Fubo."

Upon hearing this name, Ma Wu immediately reacted and quickly extended his hand to greet you: "I have long admired your name. Our Explorer and the oncoming fleet had just passed each other before. It is a great honor to meet Vice Admiral Zhang."

"Colonel Ma Wu's courage is admirable. I wish Junxing a smooth journey!" Zhang Fubo shook hands and wished.

"I also wish Lieutenant General Zhang a successful career."

Ma Wu exchanged greetings with a few people and then left with the team members.

Watching Ma Wu and his party leave, Zhang Fubo asked Wang Tiejun in a low voice: "Is the Explorer going to set off again?"

Wang Tiejun shook his head and replied: "It's not the Explorer, it's the SuperLighter! The SuperLighter is the alliance's curvature spacecraft, which was just developed as an experimental product. The spaceship that looks like a dumbbell over there is the SuperLighter."

Zhang Fubo looked around and saw that there was indeed a dumbbell-like spaceship in the parking area. He had thought it was some special equipment before, but he did not expect it to be a spaceship.

"Has the Alliance's warp spaceship come out yet?"

"The head of state personally took action to complete the verification of the all-energy theory and the grand unified theory. The technology of the curvature spacecraft is already available. This is the first experimental curvature spacecraft. Ma Wu has experience in starry voyages, so he sent them to pilot it. Super Light One." Wang Tiejun explained.

"I see, I wonder how fast the curvature spacecraft can be?" Zhang Fubo asked with concern.

"It seems that it can fly faster than the speed of light, but by how much, I don't know." Wang Tiejun finally said and spread his hands.

…

Seven people from Mawu came to the parking area. The Super Lighter was parked at berth No. 33. Combatant Lin Zhiqiu said with a smile: "It really looks like a dumbbell!"

"How does it feel to fly at the speed of light?" Co-pilot Masayoshi Kobayashi leaned against the "dumbbell spaceship" and took a selfie while talking.

"Let's board the ship!" Ma Wu ordered.

The group of people quickly boarded the Super Lighter. Among the people who followed Ma Wu and others to test the spacecraft, there was also Wang Guofu, a researcher who developed the curvature spacecraft.

The built-in settings of the curvature spacecraft are the same as those of other alliance spacecraft, and they look similar. Under the explanations of artificial intelligence and Wang Guofu, they quickly and skillfully operated the Super Lighter to fly away from the port.

The curvature engine cannot be started near the port. Under the operation of Ma Wu and Masayoshi Kobayashi, the Super Lighter uses the photon engine to fly in the west direction of the sun.

"Captain, we are already 3 units away from the planet Helic." Masayoshi Kobayashi turned his head and said.

Ma Wu looked at the holographic display: "Adjust the direction. After ten minutes, turn off the photon engine and start the curvature engine."

"Yes." Masayoshi Kobayashi immediately adjusted the flight direction of the Super Lighter. Their flight direction this time was roughly the Tianyuan 4 galaxy (Epsilon Eridanus). The Tianyuan 4 galaxy is 10.5 light years away from the solar system.

This distance is just right. If it is too close to the solar system and a curvature spacecraft accidentally overshoots and hits the galaxy, it will be a big deal.

After all, this is the first time to test the curvature spacecraft. No one knows how fast the super-lighter is. Although the curvature spacecraft R\u0026D department estimates that it is about 3 times the speed of light, where exactly it goes is still open to question.

Ten minutes later.

The photon engine stalled.

"10% power." Ma Wu ordered.

Masayoshi Kobayashi adjusted the engine power to 10% and then pulled the pushrod.

The heavy gravitational field and low gravitational field before and after the Ultralight began to show invisible fluctuations, which could only be detected by gravitational wave radar. Soon the gravitational fluctuations became larger and larger.

In an instant, the Ultra-Light One started to move. The movement was very strange, as if it suddenly disappeared and then appeared again.

"Enter the transition state." Masayoshi Kobayashi said.

However, no one felt the overload feeling of the sub-light speed ship. That was because the curvature ship itself was not moving when it was in the transition state. It was being pulled along by space.

Ma Wu looked at the quantum communication system that was still usable, and contacted Helic. However, the positioning system had failed. In the transition state, there was no way to locate and sense the surrounding situation. They could only walk to the dark. .

An hour later.

"Stop the engine." Ma Wu ordered.

Masayoshi Kobayashi immediately pulled the push rod, and the curvature spacecraft stopped immediately. The brake of the curvature spacecraft is very simple. It has no inertia. Once the engine is turned off, it will appear in a stationary state.

Wang Guofu on the side quickly calculated the speed. Through the positioning system of starlight and quantum communication, the position of the spacecraft can be calculated. With the position and flight time, the flight speed can be calculated.
