Chapter 264: Explain the task

Look at the compass that was thrown into the trash can.

One of the team members couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Originally, he had high confidence that he could survive this punishment mission safely.

But Compass' performance was nothing short of a lightning strike at the opening.

You know, even if the compass scale only reaches two-thirds of the way, it is still a boss that requires the efforts of the whole team to deal with it!

And when it reaches the top, it means there is a high probability that the group will be destroyed!

As for the collapse of the compass on the spot, it was completely beyond imagination.

His confidence was immediately destroyed.

Although the other team members said nothing, there was a hint of timidity in their eyes.

"...Don't panic, it's just a little accident."

Facing his team members, the captain knew that morale must be restored, and immediately said with a solemn face: "I also have an enhanced version of the compass blessed by the Holy Spirit. We must first understand the opponent's strength before we make a decision."

Then he took out a compass from the space equipment that was larger than the compass just now.

This compass is different from the simple style of the one just now.

There are also many golden runes flowing with brilliance engraved on it, which makes it look like a high-end product.

When taking it out of the space equipment, the captain felt a little heartbroken.

Because its blessing effect is a one-time special enchantment, if he didn't know anything about it, he wouldn't want to use it like this.

Looking at the compass newly taken out by the captain, the reincarnators present turned their attention over again, wanting to see what the results would be this time.

Under their nervous gaze, this compass did not stretch its hips as much as the previous compass.

The pointer above immediately began to rotate slowly after aligning with the target.

Soon, the pointer on it reached 60 marks, while the compass only had 100 marks in total.

In the previous world they experienced, the level represented by the 100 scale was also called demigod by the natives there.

Any strong man of that level can easily destroy a city or a country.

When the pointer completely reaches the 100 mark.

The faces of the reincarnations present, including the captain, were extremely ugly.

If it's a wide terrain, it's okay, and you can play in a little shade.

But in a spaceship, he faced a demigod-level powerhouse.

They didn't even have a place to hide.

As a result, even if they can win, they may suffer heavy losses.

Before they could think about their next response.

Soon, after a full rotation, the pointer on the compass actually broke through the 100 mark and returned to the 1 mark again.

"?"

One of the team members looked puzzled and said, "What do you mean? Can this be superimposed?"

And everyone present looked puzzled, no one knew what it meant.

Under their gaze.

Soon, the pointer completed the second circle and started the third circle...

The fourth lap, the fifth lap, the sixth lap...

The compass needle showed no signs of stopping, and it was very obvious that it started to rotate faster and faster.

More than ten seconds later.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, the compass needle rotated like a helicopter propeller, even generating considerable wind force.

A few more seconds passed.

It actually broke away from the captain's open palm just by relying on a pointer, and slowly flew up.

"???"

"666!"

"Fuck!"

"watt?"

"Fake Squid!"

Such a performance really shocked everyone.

Just then.

Miller, the captain of the USS Losk who was instructing the crew to prepare for landing, and would soon land on the spaceship [Horizon], also saw this scene.

He asked with some confusion: "What are you playing with? A new drone?"

This was the first time he saw a compass-shaped drone.

Don't tell me, it's a strange sense of déjà vu.

How to express it?

Ancient style + modern technology?

Faced with this question, the captain looked at the compass hovering above his head, licked his lips, and responded in a low voice: "...Uh, yes."

Miller immediately asked curiously:

“The shape is quite unique.

Do you have a purchase address?

I want to get one done when I go back!"

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

After politely walking away, the captain said to the vice-captain with a serious face: "Get those Tsar Bombs we bought at a high price ready.

If something goes wrong, just blow it up!

And we use the space scroll to hide in a different space to take refuge."

"Understood……"

-------

As the manufacturer of the Horizon, a scientist named Will is trying to explain the general situation of this mission to the crew.

Will wanted to be polite first, so he said: "First of all, I am very pleased..."

Upon hearing this, Captain Miller said unhappily: "You may be happy, but you know, we are not happy...

It's not fun to cancel a planned vacation and go to this planet Neptune.

You have to know that the nearest rescue point is 3 billion kilometers away from here.

The last time we rescued a spacecraft at this distance, both the rescued and the rescued spacecraft were gone!"

Whether it's being used for vacation or being assigned high-risk tasks, it's enough to arouse his dissatisfaction.

That is to say, both parties are people of high status and status, and a gentleman should speak but not take action.

Otherwise, Miller could turn into a grumpy old man.

In response to his complaints, Will just looked at him unmoved and continued: "Because the incident happened suddenly, many things were not told to you.

For example, not long ago, the space agency received a distress message.

And that message comes from the [Horizon] that mysteriously disappeared a few years ago..."

Upon hearing this, many crew members immediately frowned.

Before they set off, they only knew they were here for rescue.

Unexpectedly, the rescue target turned out to be a spacecraft that had been missing for several years.

How does it sound? It’s wrong.

So, a certain crew member who didn't know that this matter had become news on Earth said bluntly: "Bragging, that thing has disappeared for a few years and been searched for countless times. Is it still floating on Neptune?"

But Captain Miller felt that there was no need for the other party to talk nonsense about this kind of thing.

So in order to get more information, I could only appease the crew and said: "Okay, let's listen to him first."

With the other party's comfort, Will shrugged his shoulders and continued: "[Horizon] is a special spacecraft commissioned by the government. Its purpose is to achieve faster-than-light navigation..."

When another crew member heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "With all due respect, that seems impossible.

According to the theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light."

This crew member is a technician on the spacecraft and a graduate of a prestigious university.

It sounded to him.

What Will just said was bullshit.

Regarding his suspicion, Will did not mean to hide it and said bluntly:

"If the theory of relativity cannot be solved, the flying speed of the ship will naturally not be faster than the speed of light, but we adopted another method.

The simple explanation is that we use the magnetic field to concentrate a small beam of gravitons, and then fold the space-time according to the Weir's tensiology..."

Another crew member with a low level of education was instantly confused when faced with such professional terminology.

He decisively spoke politely: "Damn it, to put it more plainly, can you use a language that humans can understand?"

Will couldn't help but rolled his eyes and thought silently: 'The educational gap on this ship is so big...'

But in order to successfully complete the task.

Will picked up a piece of paper anyway.

Write a and b on both ends of it, and ask everyone: "This piece of paper represents space, and how can point a reach point b in the shortest distance?"

One of the crew members replied: "Make a straight line?"

Will directly denied: "Wrong, just one point will do."

After speaking, he directly folded point a of the paper to point b, and then penetrated it with a pen.

After the presentation, Will added:

“The super-light speed method used by [Horizon] is to use gravity to fold space.

Overlap the starting and ending positions.

Thus, by traveling through space, after leaving the starting point, you can directly reach the end point and cross all the distances in between!"

Listen to him finish.

All the crew members instantly felt like they were listening to a science fiction story.

Although I don’t quite understand the specific principles, once I hear it, I feel it’s very high-level.

A crew member asked curiously: "Then how do you know so clearly?"

Will replied: "I built that thing."

Immediately, everyone's attitude towards him changed a lot.

The reason is also very practical.

To be able to produce such high-end things, I guess he is a big boss and should not be offended.

Feeling the change in their attitudes, Will continued with satisfaction:

“During the test flight, everything was normal with [Horizon].

But after arriving at Neptune and officially starting the space jump.

The spaceship disappeared immediately!

The kind that disappears without a trace and leaves no trace!

It was only now that we discovered it again."
