Currently, the fastest way to travel in the universe is the gravitational lens of the composite evolutionary human, which can fly directly to any point in the universe (except for the singularity of the black hole), and does not even need to design a path to avoid massive celestial bodies. From the evolutionary star H

The distance between the ship and Beolo Star would take the Liuma three to four weeks, while the gravity slingshot would only take two days.

As the travel distance continues to increase, the advantages of the gravity slingshot will become more and more obvious. Basically, as long as they are in the same galaxy, the gravity slingshot will not be used for more than four days, but the cost will become more and more expensive.

The only thing that does not need to consider the cost is the compound evolution's own battleship. They also have special equipment to enhance the gravitational slingshot effect. The arrival time of the same galaxy can be controlled in hours or even minutes. This requires a huge amount of energy, but with

This ability to consume energy is itself the most straightforward display of power in the universe.

The composite evolved humans have the most advanced mobility and energy engines in the universe, extremely advanced shields and detection systems, very advanced weapons and starship manufacturing capabilities, and thus have mastered the ability to formulate the rules of the universe. Now they have withdrawn to the Extinction Realm,

At the same time, the rules for gravity slingshots are modified. Only slingshots are allowed to go from slingshot to slingshot, and the service of direct slingshots to destinations is no longer provided. The charges remain unchanged. Who dares to say no to such an unreasonable move?

The Liuma can also use a gravity slingshot like other starships, but the captain is too cash-strapped to be willing to pay for it. But this is not entirely correct: if there are passengers who are anxious and willing to pay enough money, Ari

Max is in no way opposed to using a gravity slingshot to save time.

"Okay, the acceleration begins, and it is expected to enter the warp state in two minutes." Amy pointed to the console and said: "Within these two minutes, almost all the energy will be concentrated on the warp engine, which means that the starship's shield

At the most vulnerable time. Don't take your eyes off the detector, many robberies occur during this time, and this is statistically significant."

The statistics must come from the strike fleet of the composite evolved people, who are well-informed. "Currently, pirates are not allowed to appear near the evolved starships, and the surrounding radiation environment is not suitable for ambushes. But this kind of thing will only increase in the future.

, so it’s better to fly a little longer and make sure the surroundings are safe before planning to enter warp speed.”

"It is much safer after entering warp speed, but it is not absolutely safe. As long as someone can get in front of you, they will have a chance to attack you." Amy said: "The economic cruising speed of the Flowing Horse is at warp speed 4.

The maximum speed can only reach warp speed 7, which is not very fast, and as long as there is a slight gap in warp speed, it can have a great impact on the actual speed. Some starships can concentrate on pursuing speed. If you find that this kind of starship enters your

If you fly ahead of the route and fly ahead, you have to be especially careful."

"Warp mines are very cheap among various starship weapons, and they are easy to use. The enemy only needs to deploy them in front of you. They attack your shields, produce violent shocks, force the engines to generate energy surges, and cannot

If it maintains stable operation, it will escape from warp speed and be at the mercy of others."

"So when you design a warp speed route, you must leave a safety margin. In particular, you must know how fast and how far you can travel on the current route. Although the universe is empty, gravity is everywhere, because the celestial bodies interact with each other.

The relationships between them form a complex network and continue to change over time, which have a significant impact on warp navigation. It will be dangerous to be close to large gravitational objects, but being far away from the star system means being far away from civilization and far away from rescue, and the further away

The more unknown it is, the more dangerous it is."

This is not difficult to understand. From the perspective of the entire Milky Way, it roughly looks like a pancake with a thick middle and thin surroundings. Hundreds of millions of star galaxies are distributed among them. The density is also high in the middle, the spiral arms are high, and the far ends of the Milky Way are relatively low.

.If you fly "up and down", you can stay away from the pie surface and reach an area with sparse stars, which can greatly reduce the impact of large gravitational objects on the starship. However, due to the vast area and sparse population there, the star map is unknown, especially the gravitational force.

Objects don't always emit light, so a starfield that appears sparse isn't necessarily safe.

Effort is in the details, and the market often needs more fool-proof products, so the navigation star map came into being. Many safe and effective routes are marked in the star map, and it also provides route planning functions, eliminating the need to learn professional knowledge.

Process. However, such a star map is also a treasure for pirates. No one knows whether they will set up an ambush at the deceleration and turning point of the route, waiting for a careless rabbit to hit a tree stump.

"Ike, I don't need you here on the bridge. I will watch. I don't like meeting and dealing with those people, so don't arrange things like that for me. Send me some food on time every day and watch the stars here.

The pictures won’t be boring either.”

"There are many literary works in my brain-controlled body. Do you want to read them?"

"Word games from other civilizations? Is that necessary?"

"My research group has summarized 100,000 works that can be recommended to composite evolutionists, and I happen to still have some here. This research direction has always existed, and it must be useful, right?"

Amy did not comment on this matter, but she asked Alex to transfer the data to the console. She was really bored, and she would consider using this method to pass the time. "Don't forget to close the door when you go out. Yes.

Yes, I put something in the wine cabinet by the viewing window. Use my password to open it, the password is B1C2. Don’t worry about this, you just need to remember it.”

"There's no one else here, and you still play riddles? Let me guess, isn't it a military item? Is it a weapon?"

"My former crew members heard that I was going to follow you out to relax, so they gave me a few guns. The gravity gun was too conspicuous and was not conducive to hiding my identity, so they gave me a few electromagnetic pulse and carbon-based impact guns."

"What...what weapon?"

"About this long." Amy opened a distance of about thirty centimeters with both hands and said, "The weapon has two barrels, which are charged by a standard plasma battery. It has two functions: it can emit electromagnetic pulses that paralyze electronic systems;

It can emit directional resonance waves to specifically kill carbon-based organisms. The weapon is made very old and looks like a low-tech chemical kinetic energy weapon. Because its firing speed is too low, it was gravity-fed before it was equipped with a composite evolved person.

Guns took over."

"I walked back and forth on the boat without carrying the gun. That thing is thirty centimeters long and is not as easy to hide as a counting stick."

"But the computing stick is just a decoration in your hand. You should take the time to learn how to use it!"

"I know, I will learn." Alex waved his hand and quickly slipped away from the bridge, ending the topic.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three brothers wrapped in black fur were gathering together to eat a green jelly snack called "Amoeba Candy". After seeing him, Funa took the lead and raised his spoon to say hello. They brought eighty

A one-meter standard box, plus six auxiliary equipment that also occupy the space of the one-meter standard box. The box is connected to the auxiliary equipment with eighty energy lines. They are all tightly sealed, and it is unknown what is inside. Ai

Ricks paid close attention and specially arranged three environmental detectors to focus on these goods at all times.

"Captain, I noticed that there are still empty cabins on your ship. We can't accommodate new guests now, can you let us stay in them?"

"I can give you a 40% discount." Alex blocked their attempt to get free without hesitation.

"Forget it. The current room can be used for sleeping, but the water ration is a little small."

"For the first voyage, I need to accurately calculate the cost so that I can count it later, so I will not modify the free ration. And the discount is already reflected in the ticket. You didn't find the unit mass/distance of this ship.

Are the fees lower than standard?”

"captain……"

"It's a small business, no credit required." Alex smiled at them, then pointed to the kitchen cabinet: "Oh, travel food is unlimited free, as long as you don't waste it. I've prepared seventy-eight flavors...

…”

Interstellar travel dry food has high calories, average nutrition, and the taste is all seasoned with chemicals. There is really nothing to eat. But it is very cheap, small in size and light in weight, and its biggest feature is that it has a strong feeling of fullness. Some people say that eating it

It's like chewing a piece of air-filled chewing gum with your entire intestines and stomach. It stays there for more than ten hours and you won't want to eat another piece. Therefore, travel dry food can be provided for free, and no one can afford to eat more anyway.

The three passengers, two men and one woman, who were found through red and green, returned to their respective cabins. It seemed that they would not show up for a while. These three people had always seemed a little nervous. They did not register their names when they boarded the ship and rarely spoke. If

Unless Alex invited everyone to the restaurant to listen to the precautions, they would not leave the cabin.

"I guess if I call them again, they won't be as supportive as last time." Alex continued to walk back and saw Xiaoxiao and Honglu playing a chess game he had never seen before in the activity room. Red

After Lu asked Mr. Jin to repair her arm, she wrapped her whole body again and put on a mask to hide her appearance. In addition, she did not deliberately hide her whereabouts and often appeared in front of people. Maybe this would make it less likely to arouse suspicion, right?

"You guys keep playing!" Alex waved to them, then passed through the crew cabin, passed the voice recognition, and entered the viewing room. There was a pot of plant that looked a bit like a money tree in the corner, with "

The sign "owned by Amy, don't touch if you bite" was probably one of the weird things moved from her old dormitory. Alex had no research on plants, and all he could see now was the half circle of soft sofas.

"Liu Ma, dim the lights and raise the viewing platform."

The voice recognition function in the Saturnus control system was still a little slow, but it was finally executed correctly. Alex lay on the sofa, unbuttoned the top collar, and then moved one leg to

On the sofa. As the viewing platform gradually rises, the starry sky outside gradually comes into view.

During the warp speed, space is distorted, and the scenery around the starship cannot be observed with the naked eye, but the bright Milky Way and the vast background of the universe still exist firmly in the distance. The light they emit and the scenery they create have spread throughout this space.

It has lasted for tens of billions of years, and will continue to exist for tens of billions of years. This starry sky continues to retreat with the rapid sailing of the Flowing Horse, just like a midsummer night's dream, it does not seem to last long. But while retreating, the starry sky also

Always waiting in front of the Liuma, always one step ahead to welcome its visit.
