Voyage of the Stars

[Damn it, you dare to attack me, human expedition team, you are dead. 】

It has to be said that it was a miracle that the positron cannon hit the target with one shot, which prompted the Silver Mist conscious body to send another angry message.

Although one shot penetrated directly, it seemed that the silver mist did not cause much damage. During the observation, people found that the silver mist squirmed a little, and then the big holes were repaired.

"The positron cannon is recharged and ready, target correction parameters XXX, YYY, ZZZ, correction shooting elements. Hope steering engine parameters correction 12.7"

It doesn't matter if you can't beat him to death, it's just a practice. Anyway, the distance is getting farther and farther now, so there is no need to worry about the silver mist coming up.

However, just when everyone in the bridge was thinking this, an extremely nervous voice suddenly shouted.

"Shuai Yue, another piece of silver mist has been detected. The coordinates are 7739, 0689, 336. The speed is very fast and its flight trajectory is being calculated."

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the bridge dropped to below freezing point. The joy of hitting the silver mist with the first shot suddenly disappeared, as if the air had solidified.

"What!?" Yue Yuan was stunned and shouted quickly: "Cut the information on the big screen and evaluate it immediately, be quick. The computing power of 'Light of the Milky Way' fully cooperates with the orbit and track calculation! Cancel the second round of positrons Cannon attack.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen flashed and turned into a dynamic map of the Ross 154 star system.

On the map, a large barrel-shaped icon represents the Hope. There is a solid line behind the Hope and a dotted line in front. Parameters such as relative speed, acceleration, angle of the ecliptic plane, etc. are also marked on it.

Judging from the picture, Hope is currently flying out of the star system in a clockwise arc at an angle of 7° with the ecliptic plane of the star Ross 154.

The cloud-like icon composed of several small red spots behind the Hope is the silver mist consciousness that has been chasing, and various dynamic parameters are also standardized on it.

It is clear at a glance.

Originally there were only these two icons on the map, and a large piece of silver mist far behind, but now, as if the radar had been refreshed, another piece of silver mist was swept out on the other side.

Judging from the detected data, this piece of silver mist is larger than the one behind it that has been unable to catch up with the Hope. It may be more than just a consciousness.

"Shuai Yue, we've figured it out. This batch of silver mist quietly arrived in the orbit of the Ross 154-6 planet at some point. It used the planet's magnetic field to accelerate, and is now intercepting our route at an extremely fast speed."

While a staff member responded quickly, the data on the dynamic map was also updated.

Yue Yuan quickly looked up and found that just like the Hope, the large piece of silver mist had been multiplied with various dynamic parameters such as acceleration, speed, navigation trajectory, orbital declination, etc.

"Shuai Yue, we have fallen into a trap. The silver mist should be using that silver mist as a bait to make us relax our vigilance. Secretly, it should be accelerating from the planet Ross 154-6 by orbiting it multiple times!"

"Fuck! Damn it, this silver mist is faster than us. The calculation results show that in one hour and fifteen minutes, it will meet us at the coordinates XXX, YYY, ZZZ of the route ahead of us!"

"This, what should we do!"

Listening to the reports and shouts, Yue Yuan frowned into the word "Chuan". "What should I do?" he asked himself in his mind.

Now he regretted his action of attacking the silver mist behind him. If he had known earlier, he would have accelerated and ran away. If he had fled at full speed from the beginning, even if another silver mist appeared, there would have been no such thing.

You shouldn't talk so much nonsense with this Silver Mist, and you shouldn't engage in positron cannon shooting. Yue Yuan felt regretful in his heart. From the data, he could see that the Hope's speed would not slow down if it did not adjust its shooting attitude.

I have been deceived once by the Silver Mist Consciousness Body, why haven't I learned my lesson yet and are still here harping on it?

Yes, after the orbital hydrogen bomb array killed a large area of ​​silver mist and calculated that the silver mist could not catch up, Yue Yuan, including everyone on the bridge, forgot that the opponent was a creation of a third-level civilization.

Although he is just a miner, his technological content is something that humans look up to.

With such a dangerous thing, humans are still running around and messing with it leisurely, but they don't know that such a high-level existence also has some methods that humans don't know.

Yue Yuan instantly thought that maybe when the Hope was pushed out of the Ross 154-7 orbit by the fusion thruster, Silver Mist, which came to space at that time, had discovered that humans had controllable nuclear fusion technology.

But the Silver Mist did not make any noise, nor did it directly say that it had been deceived by humans. Instead, it used a trick to let a large piece of Silver Mist chase and attract human attention, while another large piece of Silver Mist quietly detoured to Ross 154-6 and used the planet to orbit multiple times. accelerate.

grass

Thinking of this, even Yue Yuan, who usually didn't use bad language, couldn't help but burst out.

If he had known that Yinwu was a deceitful consciousness, he should have thought that the other party's words and actions might be full of traps.

But it was still careless.

[Human expedition team, please stop, I have something to tell you. 】At this time, Silver Mist, who was gradually moving away from the Hope, sent another message.

Say hello!

Yue Yuan ignored it. He said solemnly in the bridge: "Can the Hope speed up again?"

"Yes!" the science officer immediately answered in the affirmative, speaking very simply, and then the most feared 'but' came: "However, the current acceleration of the Hope is already the limit of ordinary humans. If the thrust is increased, the spacecraft will If you can bear it, no one can bear it!”

"How much redundancy does the Hope have in its thrust?" Yue Yuan asked again.

"About 82 G, the thrust of the nuclear fusion thruster is very strong, Yue Shuai, but we humans can't bear it." This time it was the engineer team leader who answered.

Human beings are so fragile.

Controlled nuclear fusion has obviously been achieved, and technology has reached that level, but due to its fragile body, it is unable to fully utilize the technology.

In fact, after the realization of controllable nuclear fusion, humans have discovered this problem, so Xu Zhenyi and Yi Kai discussed acceleration buffers and human body enhancement, but these are still in the envisioning stage.

"Playing with fire and burning yourself!" Yue Yuan suddenly felt bitter in his heart. He was actually playing with fire with a civilization that was two levels higher than human beings.

"Is it possible to change the route of the Hope to avoid the interception of that batch of silver mist?" Yue Yuan thought for a second and immediately shouted to the science officer.

"It's impossible. At that location, that batch of silver mist can also use the Ross 154 star and the large magnetic field of the two large planets to correct the route." The science officer replied while constantly processing various data parameters: " Moreover, once we change the route, we must adjust our attitude. In this case, the speed of the Hope will slow down again. By then, we won’t have to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for that batch of silver mist to catch up with us.”
