Arcturus space, the airspace where the Mass Effect repeater is located.
"So big..." Kaos lay on the porthole, staring at the huge thing suspended in the void with bright eyes.
Although he had seen the appearance of this giant device in history books and related materials, he had never been shocked after actually seeing it.
It looks like a huge silver and blue "key". The "key teeth" are separated up and down, and the "key handle" is embedded with a giant blue light that is constantly rolling and emitting countless blue current-like lights.
group.
This behemoth, which may be the creation of prehistoric civilization, is the "Mass Effect Repeater" that plays an important role in the development of human aerospace today.
They pair up in pairs in relatively distant galaxies. When someone activates one of them, they will instantly reach the vicinity of the other through a movement method named "zero mass channel". However, because of this "instantaneous movement" there is a considerable deviation.
, so ships are strictly prohibited from staying within the error range of their "landing point" to prevent collision accidents.
In addition to the large mass relays connecting two distant galaxies, there are also some small mass relays connecting nearby galaxies. At the other end of these relays, regardless of the number of stars and planets, there is at least one
There are no planets suitable for human beings, or oxygen-consuming multicellular carbon-based organisms, to exist so far.
Although some sects claim that it is a gift from God, the scientific community and most people agree that it was built by the original owner of the Martian ruins.
However, the outcome of a race with such advanced technology turned out to be complete extinction. Further inference is that it was this convenient "mass effect channel" that caused them to provoke some kind of completely irresistible enemy, and they were tracked all the way.
Therefore, when any mass relay with an unknown destination is activated, the Star Alliance First Fleet will send a squadron with sufficient combat power to investigate.
And Rechtem Cloud was once a captain of this "Deep Space Expedition Fleet". Perhaps because as the Star Alliance's exploration of mass effect repeaters increased, the expected enemy always remained.
If they don't appear, the First Fleet will continue to reduce the size of the adventurous fleet, allowing outstanding soldiers like Lichtem to shine in other positions.
However, the cruiser "Naples" originally commanded by Rechthem will naturally not leave with him. The new flagship will be built after the situation on the Europa 7 colony stabilizes. It is said that doing so will stimulate industrial development and economic circulation, as well as
It can enhance the residents' sense of identity, but the result is that they now have to take an immigrant ship to the Europa system, and the target Europa 7 refers to the seventh planet of the Europa system.
When building a new colony star, colony ships, engineering ships and scientific research ships are the minimum standard configuration. The large colony ship will land directly on the surface to temporarily provide a living environment for immigrants. It will be the prototype of the capital of the future colonial star, and the scientific research ship
It is responsible for exploring various resource reserves on the planet and even within the galaxy, and the engineering ship is responsible for the construction of planets and even space stations as its name suggests. It is equipped with weapons equivalent to destroyers, and can also destroy dangerous local creatures.
Dangerous creatures, hehehe...
At this thought, Kaos raised the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, Kevin, are you so happy to see the mass repeater?" The door clicked, and Zhou walked into the room, teasing with a slight smile.
See the mass repeater, see the big things, little boys love big things.
Kaos could understand such a simple logical chain as soon as he heard it, but as a little boy, he couldn't understand it even if he had powerful powers.
"Lechtem is still angry?" Kaos blinked and looked at Zhou: "Or am I causing a lot of trouble?"
He naturally knew that Lichtem was not angry, and there was no trouble about the superpower. He was just busy with his feet and hitting the back of his head because of the temporary load added by General Williams, and it was only time he squeezed out when he came back to have a meal together occasionally.
But by the same token, it is impossible for "little boy Kaos" to know that in his eyes, his adoptive father was in a hurry for nearly a week and almost never appeared in front of him.
"Well, wait until he agrees with you himself," Zhou smiled a little nervously: "But now we are about to enter [subspace], I have to make sure you stay in the dormant cabin."
"Oh..." Kaos lowered his eyebrows and turned to the sleeping cabin in the corner of the cabin.
The hibernation cabin is not the same thing as the "cryo-sleep cabin" in science fiction novels centuries ago. No, it can even be said to be not the same level. Compared with the kind that cannot exceed the speed of light and can only freeze humans to survive time.
In this way, in the era of mass effect that can easily exceed the speed of light, the function of a "sleep cabin" is no different from an ordinary bed. Its additional function is to protect the minds of the passengers on board when the spacecraft passes through the "zero mass channel".
Although the relevant information is confidential to the outside world, because Leichtem himself is a member of the expedition fleet, he knows part of the content. It probably means that if he is not in a dormant state when passing through the "zero mass channel", there may be extremely low
The probability of going crazy is not crazy in the conventional sense, but they will insist that they saw "countless eyes", "overlapping bubbles", heard "indescribable beautiful music", etc., if someone
If they try to refute these things, they will become angry and even attack each other. In the end, these people can only retire and recuperate.
In this regard, Kaos could only say...he didn't want to have anything to do with those people at all.
Kachi——Kachi——
After the two dormant cabins were closed at the same time, Zhou said "good night" through the built-in communicator.
Good night? The whole process of passing through the passage only takes ten minutes at most, right?
Kaos responded with a "hmm" while cursing, and then he saw a bright blue light outside the window. Then the port door turned to translucent mode on its own, slightly blocking the outside scene. Then, a wave of light came from the dormant cabin.
Relaxing fragrance and subtle soothing music.
As expected, the sleeping aid function of this hibernation cabin is completely useless to me. Should I pretend to sleep? But Zhou is very smart and sees that pretending to sleep will make it difficult to explain the purpose. Or just let them go and let them think that he is gifted.
Are you not affected by weak hypnotic effects?
While he was thinking wildly, Kaos felt the ship's hull shake slightly, followed by a strange feeling of weightlessness.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply closed his eyes and refused to look out the window.
After all, the chance of a mortal seeing something can be said to be "extremely low", but he can only say that it is "inevitable".
