The resistance army is already in Hailan III and has sent back more than 50 million people.
As more and more transport ships are put into service in the future, this speed will be further improved.
At the same time, the four Wuluo-class destroyers were named Boyin, Xiong Kun, Guoyu and Yiyin respectively. Lu Feng also got his wish and became the captain of the Boyin destroyer.
On the day he took delivery of the battleship, he even came to the Qingluan ship and played with it, which made Mu Qianshan angry...
So, Mu Qianshan was so angry...
I had no choice but to drag Jiang Xingchen to have a simulated mecha battle to let off some steam.
You know, when he was still in the academy, he was called the next Long Yuchao. As for Lu Feng, he could beat ten!
However...
He wanted to vent, but he became even more depressed.
Mu Qianshan is very sure...
Jiang Xingchen can beat ten of himself!!!
"Xingchen, I really didn't expect that your mecha driving skills have reached this level..."
"Brother Qianshan, you are also very good. Even if you have a gap of ten years, your driving skills among the rebels, except for Colonel Long Yuchao, I am afraid that no one can compare with you."
"Bah, you are not human?"
"this..."
Jiang Xingchen scratched his head in embarrassment at Mu Qianshan's rebuke.
In order for Mu Qianshan to successfully take over the Qingluan in the future, under Mu Zhengfeng's arrangement, he was awarded the rank of major and arranged to serve as the second officer on the Qingluan.
This is also to allow him to become familiar with how to command a battleship as soon as possible.
After all, although Mu Qianshan was very capable, he went to the Hailan star system right after he came out of the academy and stayed there for a full ten years.
Beep beep beep...
Just when the two of them walked out of the training cabin, the portable terminal on Jiang Xingchen's wrist suddenly rang.
"Captain, please come to the bridge immediately. Admiral Mu Zhengfeng from the Fleet Command is waiting for you."
"Understood, I'll be there soon."
A minute later, Jiang Xingchen and Mu Qianshan walked into the bridge one after the other.
"Admiral Mu!"
Walking to his seat, he immediately gave a military salute to Mu Zhengfeng on the main screen.
"Xingchen, about one hour and seventeen minutes ago, the Bi Fang, which was responsible for escorting the 38th batch of immigration fleet, lost contact!"
"Did you encounter an enemy?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and then asked.
"It is still unclear. After the last regular contact with the fleet command, there was no news from the Bifan. It was not until the regular contact one hour later that we discovered the loss of contact. At the same time, because of the rest of the
The transport ship is not equipped with ultra-long-range communication devices, so we cannot confirm further information."
"For now, the Qingluan is only 0.7 light years away from the coordinates of the Bi Fang's last contact, so the fleet command needs you to investigate."
As Mu Zhengfeng spoke, he transmitted a set of coordinates to the Qingluan.
After receiving the coordinates, Fu Wanting immediately marked them on the star map, and sure enough...
It is only 0.7 light years away from its own location, which is near the seventh node in the Death Nebula safe passage, and the Qingluan ship is currently located at the fourteenth node.
"Understood, our ship will set off immediately!"
"Well, report any news to the fleet headquarters immediately."
"clear!"
After the communication ended, Jiang Xingchen also enlarged the star map and began to study it.
"Captain, have you encountered an enemy?"
On the side, Mu Qianshan asked.
After entering the post, he will no longer call Xingchen, but captain.
This is the same as Fu Wanting.
"No, I think this might be small..."
"Although this safe passage is only 2.7 light-years away, it is not a straight line. It requires a full 38 jumps before it can finally pass through and reach the Canglan System."
"So, even if the Kerry Empire or other civilizations discover the entrance to the passage, it is impossible to directly explore the location of the seventh node."
"Moreover, we have also deployed a large number of monitoring devices outside the entrance of the passage. If other civilizations really enter, we will not fail to discover it."
Shaking his head, Jiang Xingchen pointed to the seventh node of the safe passage on the star map and said.
"So, you mean...the Star Zerg?"
Mu Qianshan immediately understood what Jiang Xingchen meant. Since it was not another civilization, it could only be the Starry Sky Zerg that originally lived in the Death Nebula!
only...
Even if there is an attack by the Starry Sky Zerg, it doesn't make sense to prevent the Bi Fang from even sending a message back...
"Anyway, you'll know when you get there!"
"Helmsman, set the course and target the seventh node of the Nebula Channel!"
Pushing away the virtual star map in front of him, Jiang Xingchen ordered loudly.
"Yes, Captain, the goal has been set. It requires seven jumps and the total estimated time is 7 hours and 52 minutes!"
Although the distance is not long, the trouble is that the Nebula Passage is a passage with nine twists and turns. You need to constantly jump, and after reaching the next node, change the course and jump again. Only after repeating this 38 times can you truly pass this passage.
A channel about 2.7 light-years long.
After each jump, the battleship takes almost an hour to allow the Yueqian engine to cool down and recharge before it can jump again.
Of course, if it was a true fourth-level civilization like the Kerry Empire, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
The main reason why the Resistance's jump engine is stretched is because it is an imitation. As the prototype of the imitation, which is the Star Sea Federation Jiang Kai Type 3 patrol ship, it is not a battleship itself, and its performance is slightly poor. In addition,
After the rebels copied it, they could only achieve about 70% of the performance of the prototype.
This ultimately led to a series of problems such as excessive temperature and too long charging time.
In the final analysis, the lack of basic technology is too serious, and the technology tree is somewhat deformed...
However, this problem should be fully solved after the resistance slowly absorbs the technology of the Star Sea Federation through the Fire Database.
------
More than five hours later.
Nebula Channel, Ninth Node.
The fifth jump has just been completed, and the Qingluan is currently recharging the jump engine.
However...
"Captain, a large number of gravity waves have been detected, the number exceeds one hundred!"
"Sound the first-level battle alarm, raise the energy shield, charge all weapons, and prepare the mecha troops to attack!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The next moment, the battle alarm sounded throughout the entire battleship, and everyone ran quickly to their combat posts.
"captain..."
"No hurry, wait first!"
Originally, Fu Wanting wanted to suggest Jiang Xingchen to retreat at maximum combat speed, keep a safe distance and wait for the jump engine to be charged.
However, Jiang Xingchen stopped him just as he opened his mouth.
More than a hundred gravity waves are formed at the same time, and the sizes of the gravity waves are almost the same.
This gave him some guesses.
Next, as long as the other party exits the jump channel, you will know whether your guess is correct.
"Captain, here we come!"
At almost the same time as the radar officer yelled, one spaceship after another quickly sailed out of the gravity waves. Each of them was at least five times the size of the Qingluan.
"Captain, the identity of the other party has been confirmed. He is one of our own!"
Following the report, the more than one hundred red dots originally displayed on the tactical board also turned green at this moment.
"Huh, it seems that the Bifang and the transport fleet are fine. It may just be a problem with the communication device."
