"Rush, rush over?" Hearing this, the nutrient agent turned his head to look at Qu Jianlai and said in surprise, "The energy beam is still expanding!"
The expansion is still continuing, but it is getting slower and slower, so the growth rate is negative!
Nutraceuticals consider themselves courageous, but boss, your operation...has nothing to do with courage, right?
"We are also more than 10 million kilometers away," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "We will be almost there when we rush over."
Nutrients blinked and couldn't help but ask a sensitive question, "Intelligent computing?"
She wanted to know if the boss's artificial intelligence had taken action and calculated the relevant probabilities.
She knows a lot about artificial intelligence, but after all, she is a woman and not a professional, so it is still a bit superficial.
To put it more strictly, she was not sure how far the boss's artificial intelligence had reached and how much relevant information he had stored.
Qu Jianlei hesitated and replied, "The official expedition team has been dispatched, and it is 50 million kilometers away from here."
Nutritional Agent blinked his eyes, came back to his senses, and then nodded.
"Then we don't have much time, so rush over...just watch while you rush."
Just like they stopped and watched just now, now they are gradually approaching and watching, and the danger will not be greater than before.
Of course, there is no rationale for abnormal celestial phenomena, and a sudden reversal is not unexpected, but after all, it is a low-probability event.
Although nutritional supplements are arrogant, if they don't conflict with the official fleet, that would be the best.
It didn't take long for them to close half the distance, and at the same time noticed that the expansion speed was getting slower and slower.
Since the official expedition team wasn't very fast either, they didn't sprint at full speed.
When it was about three million kilometers away from the energy beam, the energy beam actually stopped expanding.
However, it did not turn into contraction, but expanded and contracted, as if it were a breathing life form.
At this moment, the big-headed butterfly started turning again, "That fleet is speeding up!"
Qu Jianlei frowned and said decisively, "Sprint!"
"Boss!" Nutritional Agent couldn't help shouting again, are you too aggressive?
She is not afraid of death, but the risk... must be worth it, right?
Qu Jianlei glanced at her and said calmly, "In overloaded defense status, this starship can stay inside for at least ten minutes."
Now the diameter of the energy beam has expanded to more than two thousand kilometers, and the energy inside is extremely crazy.
6503 was originally a standard warship. Needless to say, its defensive capabilities were much stronger than ordinary starships of similar size.
Ten minutes is the limit for the overloaded defense of a company-class ship. No matter how long it takes, there is a high probability that its own equipment will be damaged.
However, this period of time was enough for the 6503 ship to rush into the energy beam, obtain the alien space creatures and evacuate.
Nutrients frowned slightly: This time it was definitely calculated by artificial intelligence!
Then she nodded crisply, "Okay, I'll listen to the boss! Remember to use overload defense with caution."
She is not reminding the boss, but the artificial intelligence: This thing has a time limit!
When they began to accelerate with all their strength, the fleet that was relatively far away also began to accelerate.
When the 6503 ship rushed to less than 500,000 kilometers away from the energy beam, the energy beam actually began to slowly shrink.
"Oops..." Nutrients realized this and yelled in fright.
"Sprint with all your strength, beware of reversal of energy movement, fast! Fast! Fast!"
Qu Jianlei immediately understood after hearing this, what is the reversal of operation mode? It was gushing out just now, and it may be swallowed up next!
He didn't think of this at the first time, but he thought of nutritional supplements.
He absolutely supports this judgment. In all things in the world, there is light and darkness, positive and negative. Otherwise, how can we achieve balance?
So he nodded, "Sprint, be careful to reverse."
Then the 6503 ship accelerated suddenly, and even the three people inside the ship could clearly feel it.
Nutrient looked at his boss and said, "This artificial intelligence really only recognizes you."
Qu Jianlei smiled and said to himself, "If my own child listens to you, wouldn't that be too much?"
As he spoke, Ship 6503 plunged into the energy beam.
The next moment, the ship began to shake, so violently that even the three people sitting in the central control room felt it.
You must know that most starships have anti-gravity devices, and it is impossible for company-class ships to not have them.
Therefore, in most combat situations, only extreme gravity overload can cause the crew to feel uncomfortable.
Now they all feel the vibration. One can imagine the pressure the starship is under.
Moreover, this is just entering the outer edge of the energy beam, and I don’t know what it will be like if I go deeper.
However, Hua Scorpion didn't say anything and directly put on the seat belt and touched a button in his hand.
Once the button is pressed, her body will quickly flip into the rescue cabin.
Nutrient didn't say anything, but lightly grabbed the back of a chair. She chose to trust her boss.
Qu Jianlei's face sank as the big-headed butterfly started turning again.
"The energy inside is too violent and very sticky."
Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, this would affect his speed.
But he didn't mean to blame Xiaohu - the impact of the energy beam was too great.
Not only is it violent, but it can also distort human perception and equipment induction. It is difficult to make accurate judgments just from outside observation.
At this time, he would not ask about the details, "I'll leave it to you. If we judge that we can't achieve our goal, we will evacuate decisively."
"Don't worry," Big-headed Butterfly replied firmly, "I have set the trigger mechanism for return, and there is still considerable margin."
As time passed, the vibrations inside the starship became more and more violent.
The three of them could even vaguely hear a slight explosion coming from the ship's hull.
It must be that the material is overwhelmed and is on the verge of collapse.
But Nutrients and Hua Scorpion still didn't speak, and there were no expressions on their faces.
Finally, when the explosions became louder and louder, the starship paused slightly.
"Okay, I caught it!" Qu Jianlei breathed out lightly, "Four minutes and twenty-one seconds... there is still a certain margin."
Once in and out, you can get an extra 78 seconds, which is more than a minute.
Of course, this number is not an absolute value. The overload defense can last for ten minutes, which is originally an estimate.
This has something to do with the age of the starship, the level of maintenance, etc. Whether it has undergone major repairs is even more critical.
When they got the 6503 ship, it was not a new ship and had been properly repaired.
Moreover, whether there will be any accidents when returning home and how long they will be entangled after encountering them are the top priorities.
But no matter what, you can run away now, and you don't have to worry about whether you can achieve your goal.
The only thing they can do now is to pray that the starship will fly faster and not encounter any more accidents.
However, Nutrient still asked, "Do you want to take that creature from another space into the cabin?"
Her goal is very clear. If she can put it into the cabin, she can try to put it in the storage talisman.
This is not the point. The point is that the items are stored in the storage talisman so that you can abandon the ship and escape at the critical moment.
The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, and he replied in a deep voice, "Extreme load, the external pressure is too great, and it cannot be stored in the cabin."
Collecting cargo into the cabin in space, or ejecting a small attack ship to participate in battle, must go through double vacuum doors.
Without this door, the air inside would be completely exhausted.
The vacuum door is actually very strong and can be used frequently in combat as long as there is enough compressed air.
But in the current situation, there is strong pressure from all directions, and the usage environment is not very good.
The starship itself is also in an overloaded defense state, and some of its structures have been damaged, so we can no longer rush to collect things.
"Tsk," Nutritional Agent smacked his lips regretfully, but didn't say anything else.
As the starship rushed towards the outer edge desperately, the faint crackling sound gradually became lighter and decreased.
However, the violent shaking of the starship itself did not become significantly softer.
Hua Scorpion was still tied to his seat and couldn't help but sigh, "This starship... is bound to undergo major repairs."
Her mechanical knowledge is not too strong, but her understanding of combat equipment is still sufficient.
Probably feeling that her words were a bit unlucky, she then said, "As long as there are no accidents, that's enough."
Qu Jianlei pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Nutritional Agent glanced sideways at him, noticed his appearance, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly. He refused to admit that he had tricked others into committing crimes, but this person... sometimes had to be a little superstitious.
Anyway, Hua Scorpion obviously did not have a bad physique, and without any danger, the 6503 ship rushed to the outer edge of the energy beam.
At this time, there is still one minute and forty-two seconds left before the limit of ten minutes.
You must know that when they left, the mechanical arm was still holding the alien space creature.
Not only is the total volume larger than before, but the diameter of the energy beam is also converging.
In this case, the time actually became shorter. It can be seen that there is an outward force during the process of rushing out.
At the edge of the energy beam, the pressure on the ship's hull was significantly reduced, and the shaking in the cabin became much softer.
The expressions of Hua Scorpion and Nutrients softened visibly to the naked eye.
However, at this moment, the big-headed butterfly suddenly turned around, "Let me go, there is suction behind it!"
"Suction?" Qu Jianlei was also startled when he heard this, "Is it really that the energy operation mode has been reversed?"
"Nine times out of ten, that's the case," the big-headed butterfly turned quickly, obviously analyzing this possibility.
"But fortunately, we rushed in in time and were able to escape in time."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but feel a little complacent: I must be determined enough!
However, the next moment, the big-headed butterfly's body was stunned, "Oh my god, the suction force becomes stronger so fast?"
Immediately afterwards, the starship's trembling intensity intensified slightly again.
The ability to sense nutritional supplements is so strong. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately looked at Qu Jianlei.
Then she was shocked to find that the boss's expression was not right, so she asked aloud, "What happened?"
