Chapter 91 You chase me away
A high-speed gravitational signal only appeared on the gravitational wave radar for less than two seconds, and then disappeared completely. An asteroid? The fragments thrown out by a neutron star? An occasional equipment failure? Erics used a two-second signal to calculate its movement trajectory. Compared to guessing that he believed in computing power: the direction of the gravity source is 73% likely to intersect the tail trajectory of the Liuma.
The warp engine continuously "transports" the space in front of the starship to the tail by gravitational compression. This working mode will greatly narrow the visual range of the gravitational wave radar. Only by facing a conical area in front can it be fine. The detection ability on the side is blurry and weak, and it is basically blind to the rear. If you want to sneak over, approaching from the rear of the warp spacecraft is the best choice.
Who would do this? Erics could only think of people with bad intentions. He opened the navigation star map, quickly adjusted the path, and then opened the inertial damping system of the starship to the maximum in advance. The Liuma console took three seconds to receive the new path map and immediately made a sudden turn. Erics stared at the gravitational wave radar, and a high-speed gravitational signal appeared for a second, and then disappeared.
"I'm bitten at my tail! That guy is fast and accurate, and has been optimized specifically for the pursuit of warp speed. The possibility of being a pirate is more than 90%. "Erics quickly adjusted the warp trajectory, made another turn, and used the gravitational wave detection ability on the side of the ship to capture the figure of the pursuer again. It is gradually approaching, and when it catches up and goes to the front, it will have countless ways to stop the flow horse.
"I picked a good place... There is no space station that can be reached in a short time, so I can't get shelter at all. It seems that I can only try to get rid of the speed." Arix turned the power of the nuclear fusion engine to the maximum and turned off the overloaded alarm. But is this enough? Arix felt that it was not safe.
Arix thought for a while and decided to use the extra power of the ship. Her sister was still "mediting" in the mobile computing power core. Even if she woke her up, she wouldn't be able to help. If she was boarded by the enemy, she would of course have strong combat power. But she was not a nuclear fusion engine and could not allow the Liuma to continue to accelerate, which would not change the result.
"It's the best time to use the antimatter engine." Erics' right hand rubbed the gap on the edge of the captain's console, pressed hard on a hidden block, and an external touch control panel popped out. He placed his hand on the control panel, then focused on it, and selected the console as an "external control device" through this touch panel.
The Sadunus' console does not have a touchpad for the composite Evolutionary Human, but it has many standard compatible interfaces, so you can buy a touchpad to install it. It doesn't matter if this hidden touchpad is discovered by Ami. She will only praise Arix for thinking carefully. Ami will never think of the real purpose of his brother's leaving this touchpad: to use the console as an external device, perfectly forge flight information during this period, and cover up the evidence of the existence of the rear cabin antimatter engine and hyperspace gravity engine.
"Permission verification, Zhang Qianxi." Erics entered a specific trigger command in the control bus, and the antimatter engine and hyperspace gravity engine put themselves online and became part of the entire control system. Erics then introduced the power of the antimatter engine into the warp engine, and at the same time reduced the nuclear fusion engine to a safe power range.
The warp speed is still lower than 6, which is still on the previous order of magnitude. It seems that the general gravitational bubble warp engine produced by the Evana Starship Factory has only such a large capacity, and even if the power is increased, it cannot be squeezed out. As a cargo ship, this speed is good, but it is not safe at all when facing the Corsair. Erics has no other choice. If he does not want to rely on the Jugang battle, he can only use the hyperspace gravitational engine.
He had long wanted to give it a try.
"Come on, come on, give me a surprise." Erics glanced at the star map, inputted the azimuth angle and distance information of the next folding point into the gravitational engine, and then clicked the start button. The Big Dipper of the antimatter engine was shining brightly, and the engine emitted dazzling light at the Pole Star. Behind the Flow Horse, a light golden tail was dragged out, like an ice comet approaching the sun. It began to accelerate.
"The speed system is faulty, the gravitational wave radar cannot work, and the navigation is wrong..." The console produced by Sadunus kept calling the alarm, and dozens of red lights lit up at the same time. Arix had an idea and instantly issued hundreds of commands to turn off all of these alarms. His eyes were on the monitoring head of the environmental circulation system, and on the screen showing the outside environment, the universe was disappearing.
To be precise, the gravitational bubbles formed by the warp speed can see the beautiful scenery of the distant universe, but now they are rapidly dimming. In the direction of the bow, a pure black area continues to expand, like a gradually approaching the tunnel entrance. This feeling is very strange, because the Liuma is moving at 300 times the speed of light, not 30 kilometers per hour, and there shouldn't be a "tunnel" that can maintain such a stable relative speed.
In just a blink of an eye, the Liuma entered the dark "tunnel", and then Erics saw a strange scene. The Liuma was surrounded by countless stars, and the stars up, down, left, left, front and back were like diamonds inlaid on black velvet. And his Liuma seemed to have turned into a small boat, drifting along the underground river, and the passengers on the boat were admiring the beautiful scenery here.
Erics was shocked and was also at a loss. All navigation and flight control systems on the console were calling the alarm. They didn't know where they were or what their state they were. All known detection methods were useless. However, the environmental circulation and life support systems were still good. The probe even reported that the external environment is very safe now and can be directly out of the cabin.
Erics was eager to try and wanted to go out and take a look. Those diamond-like stars seemed to be within reach. Although he knew that the stars were far away, the innocence in his heart defeated the computing power at this time, and his past dreams seemed to have been realized in the dreamy and beautiful scenery in front of him. If he hadn't known that there were pirate pursuers behind him, he might have gone to repair the pressure compartment, opened the outside door, and went out to touch the outside world.
But he still has to deal with the mess on the console.
The automatic power of the countercurrent thruster is decreasing. The system shows that the spacecraft is stationary and the gravitational disturbance from the outside world has been reduced to 0 - perhaps it is a mistake, and the engineer needs to check the settings. The warp engine indicates that it is idle, and the space environment here is not affected by gravity at all and cannot be moved at all.
All operating systems are unprecedented in terms of the current situation and are at a loss. If it weren't for the hyperspace gravity engine reporting everything, Erics would have been at a loss. Now he places his trust on the Liuma, the Liuma produced by the Earth. He believes that the old horse will definitely take him to the predetermined destination. This trust has not been disappointed. Ten minutes later, the Liuma seems to have drilled out of a tunnel and the familiar starry sky has returned.
--- Warp engine preparation, countdown 3, 2,---
Erics took 0.1 seconds to recognize the reality of the current warp speed of 0, and then thought about countermeasures in 0.3 seconds, and terminated the acceleration process of the warp speed engine in 0.1 seconds. According to the detection results of the flight attitude control system that was gradually recovering, Liuma is now flying at a sub-light speed, and the spacecraft is in good condition, but he knows nothing about how to leave the warp speed. The starry sky exploration system began to compare the positions of the surrounding stars and quickly came to a conclusion.
It took ten minutes to complete the original one and a half hours of travel and reached the predetermined tilt point.
Erics operated the rush horse to rotate in place, and the gravitational wave radar scanned the surroundings without dead corners. Sure enough, there was no trace of suspicious trackers. The star map would not lie, and the atomic clock in the console would not be malfunctioning. Then the fact that one and a half hours of travel could not be false. Erics immediately started the warp engine, turned here according to the established route, and drove to the next flexure point.
It seemed that he had avoided it. Erics quickly confirmed this fact and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he eliminated all the navigation logs for more than ten minutes, including thousands of alarm information, a large amount of undescribable environmental monitoring information, and even the evidence that the pirate ship had appeared. Erics adjusted his navigation plan, first entered the safe star field near Beolog at high speed, and then slowed down to make the arrival time no different from usual.
After doing all this, Erics truly felt relieved and could review the previous 10-minute wonderful journey. The diamond starry sky was different from any known celestial mode. All stars were independent, without gathering into nebula or becoming a rotating galaxy.
"Is it hyperspace there?" Erics could only guess from the naming of the engine. An hour and a half journey took ten minutes to complete. Calculate based on the previous warp speed. Then the hyperspace gravity engine ran about 3150 times the speed of light, which was equivalent to a warp speed of more than 9.9.
Judging from the ability of warp speed engines of various civilizations alone, it is not considered a compound evolutionary person, this is the best level in the universe. Moreover, the super-space gravity engine is definitely not warp speed or gravitational catapult, but a completely different technological route, which makes Erics even more terrifying.
Is the technology of the earth so powerful? He is a little reluctant to believe it, but seems to have to believe it.
Thinking of this, he handed over the control to the autonomous driving, then left the bow, returned to the captain's room, and opened the secret door to the rear cabin. The Big Dipper and Polestars of the antimatter engine and the hyperspace gravity engine emitted a shimmer, and they returned to the standby state of zero output. Arix gently stroked the super equipment that brought him such a huge surprise, and then glanced at the fuel state of the antimatter engine.
This time, I went down 15% of the total amount? Arix was shocked. The part of the antimatter fuel he stole from the fighter before was only a little more than half of the antimatter fuel left, which consumed too much energy? He had not been able to fill the fuel tank, and now the only thing left is enough to start the hyperspace gravity engine again? This escape method is very efficient, but it is far less efficient than burning fuel.
"We have to find an opportunity to fill the antimatter fuel, and then we will have 6 super-space acceleration capabilities. Huh... we have to look at the price of antimatter fuel, and I hope it can be affordable."
