In about half a day, all the material sorting work was completed. The shuttle boat went back and forth several times to load all the necessary materials. The large amount of basic metals and rocket fuel carried on the spacecraft were no longer useful and were abandoned together with the spacecraft itself.
.In fact, more than half of the combustion in the rocket engine is still left, which is a pity.
Judging from the meaning of this reserve, it can completely support the spacecraft to take off and land on a planet midway to resupply supplies.
Lu Niancheng didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and gave up the opportunity to look for clues about the ambush. He directly led the small fleet to perform a space jump and returned to the Ninth Fleet's base.
The Ninth Fleet is stationed on a dark star in the constellation Centauri, only a few dozen light-years away from Proxima Centauri. Because it is close to its home star, its strategic location is very important. The Tang Dynasty stationed heavy troops here, as did the Ninth Fleet.
The top three behemoths in the Dynasty's deep space fleet.
After the Shuo Star jumped out of the wormhole, Lu Niancheng ordered: "Notify the headquarters base that we are back. In addition, move forward at full speed and enter the galaxy as soon as possible."
The staff officer next to him was surprised and said: "Colonel Xu's spaceship was seriously damaged and cannot keep up with us."
"Ignore him, just let him go back slowly."
The Star began to accelerate, all ion engines were turned on to maximum power, and even one of the curvature engines was turned on. This was a somewhat dangerous move.
The Shuoxing quickly accelerated to one-tenth the speed of light, but Lu Niancheng was still a little dissatisfied. At this time, a notification sounded in the console: "This is the base of the Ninth Fleet. Your request to enter the port has been received and entry is allowed.
Your warp engines will be turned off. I repeat, please turn off your warp engines."
"I will turn it off after entering the galaxy. Now I have something urgent and I have to go back quickly. I can't turn it off for the time being."
The emblem of the Ninth Fleet disappeared from the screen and was replaced by an iceberg beauty. She looked at Lu Niancheng and said expressionlessly: "This is a dangerous move and you will be punished accordingly. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Lu Niancheng's demeanor suddenly dropped and he said, "I do have something important to do. I won't do this again."
"How many times has this happened?"
"This..." Lu Chengcheng felt sweat on his forehead.
The iceberg beauty wrote something down, and then said: "I have already handed in the report. Let's wait for the results."
After saying that, she cut off the communication directly.
Lu Chengcheng stayed on the spot. After a while, the adjutant next to him asked softly: "General, do you want to slow down?"
Lu Chengcheng burst out suddenly and shouted: "Lower the speed! Didn't you listen to her? The report has been handed in, so what's the use of slowing down? Go, turn on the other engine, and wait outside the port.
close!"
A moment later, the Shuo star rushed straight into the galaxy like a wild horse.
In the center of the galaxy, the huge star emits orange light, illuminating everything around it. The star is also coated with a layer of gold and flies peacefully.
On the bridge, Lin Xi stood in the middle, with Lu Chengcheng and Li Ruobai on the left and Meng Jianghu standing beside him. At this time, there was no room for Chu Jungui.
The light of stars shone through the portholes and fell on everyone. Lu Chengcheng said: "In this galaxy, it is at dusk most of the time. So the first generation of explorers named this galaxy Dusk Ranch. It is the home port of our Ninth Fleet.
It’s built between Ranch 2 and Ranch 3. That’s the stable track closest to the jump point.”
"Is the marshal here?" Lin Xi asked.
"I just received the news that he is waiting for you at his home port."
"Okay, I'll go see him immediately after arriving."
At this moment, Chu Jungui was sitting in the cabin, looking at the dazzling scenery outside the porthole. The Dusk Ranch Galaxy not only has a beautiful name, but also the actual scenery is even more beautiful. Because the luminosity of the stars is not enough, such a magnificent scenery is produced.
The portholes of the starship are naturally virtual, but they are made real enough that even the star's light shines on your body, making it feel slightly warm.
A planet flew past the porthole window. It was a gray-black planet. It was unknown whether there were people living on it. Just by looking at the moving speed of the planet, you could tell how fast the Shuoxing was flying.
At this moment, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, the light in the cabin suddenly dimmed, and then a majestic and cold electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Your ship has entered the home port control area, and the speed exceeds the limit. Now it is forced to slow down."
Is this okay? Lord Chu returns to Daqi.
He changed the porthole screen to the perspective of the ship's bow, and saw a floating fortress faintly appearing in the depths of space in the distance.
As the fortress grew larger, details gradually became apparent.
The homeport of the Ninth Fleet is actually not built on a planet, but a base built out of thin air in space!
The home port base is shaped like a top, surrounded by a ring of ring-shaped buildings. The total length of the main columnar building in the center reaches tens of kilometers, and the diameter of the ring reaches hundreds of kilometers!
The entry and exit ports are located at both ends of the central body, and spacecrafts are constantly coming in and out. At this time, a beam of light is shot from the base, shining on the Shuoxing, and it immediately takes over the control of the Shuoxing. The Shuoxing is in front of the beam
Under the tug, it keeps circling until it matches the rotation speed of the home port, and then flies to one of the ports under the guidance of the tractor beam.
When approaching the base, the outer door of the port has been rotated open, allowing the Shuoxing to fly in. This port is magnificent in scale, and the diameter of the entry channel is more than a hundred meters. The Shuoxing flies in it with ease.
A faint blue light lit up on all four walls of the passage. As soon as it entered the passage, the Shuoxing was captured by the force field and slowly slid towards the depths of the harbor. The revolving door at the entrance of the passage closed again, and the surrounding lights turned to
Red indicates that the harbor is occupied.
The Star glided in the force field until it reached the rotunda at the end, and then landed slowly. It lowered its landing gear, and then firmly adhered to the floor with a pleasant sound. The floor then rotated, allowing the Star to come across.
, several passages automatically extend over and connect to the hatch.
"The Shuo Xing has returned to its home port, berthing has been completed, and it is now safe to leave the ship."
Chu Jungui stood up, and together with other members of the winter hunting team, walked out of the room with their luggage, and left the Shuoxing in one file.
Standing in the passage, just a harbor can make people feel how grand it is. And this harbor should only be considered medium-sized in the entire base, otherwise the main starships would not be able to park.
The space base where Chu Jungui was located back then was only as big as two or three harbors.
Entering along the long passage into the hall, everyone temporarily gathered here to wait for further quarantine. This is a necessary step in interstellar travel to prevent dangerous species from deep space from being unknowingly brought back to the base.
While waiting, through the portholes, Chu Jungui saw that all the passages were slowly retracted, the side gates were opened, and the Shuoxing was moved in. There was the shipyard. The battle was fierce at the moment, and the ship was damaged in many places.
It is damaged and needs to be completely overhauled before it can travel into deep space again.
At this time, Qin Yi appeared out of nowhere, came to Chu Jungui, and said softly: "I heard that something is wrong with you."
