Over the Golden Garden City, the sky was dark, and a black starship was rising silently into the sky. Its tail and five wingspans simultaneously sprayed out crystal flames, slowly passing through the atmosphere.
This scene is a common sight in the skyline of Jinyuan City. How many ships rise and fall at the airport in a day?
However, when the Xunlong actually sailed into space, the five wingspans "swish-swish-swish" spread out circles of colorful halos, like water ripples in a lake, illuminating this star field
.
Fortunately, there are no frog fleets or human fleets in the starry sky. If there were, you would have found that the energy fluctuations of this halo were incredibly strong. After spreading for a while, a straight hole was torn out in the starry sky, revealing
The space we came from seemed to be another starry sky.
Thinking about the time and space cracks opened by the Expedition and the Conqueror in the past, they were all in the shape of a whirlpool, but the Xunlong directly tore apart the space, and the energy jump was countless times stronger.
Suddenly, the black Xunlong turned into a needle-thread of bright light, and swooped into the crack in time and space. The next second, the bright light disappeared along with the crack, leaving no trace at all.
The interior of the starship is a completely different mirror image. The image of the reconnaissance radar is displayed in the form of a light curtain. It can be seen that the starship is indeed traveling through a time and space tunnel, but the surrounding scenes are all twisted arcs, like colorful
The radio waves were twisting and jumping irregularly, and it was a completely bizarre sight.
Ding Meng is still experienced. He knows that the speed of the Xunlong is much faster than ordinary interstellar jumps.
"Is it in a warped state?" Ding Meng asked.
Lu Qi explained: "Master Ding, this is level four curvature speed!"
Ding Meng was surprised. Ordinary starships have a first-level warp speed, which is the speed of light; a second-level warp speed is 8 times the speed of light; a third-level warp speed is 27 times the speed of light. The mother of the Shenghui Federation super fleet
As long as the ship has sufficient kinetic energy, it can reach level 3 warp speed.
But under normal circumstances, fleet commanders will not use level 3 warp, because there are too many required conditions, which are difficult to achieve. The most difficult among them is the positioning of the destination point and the selection of the route. First, you need to know the destination coordinates.
, and secondly, you must avoid obstacles along the way to achieve super-light flight.
The level 4 warp speed is 64 times the speed of light. The Federation Empire has not yet reached this level of technology. This proves that the starship level of the Steelmane Empire is far from being as low as I imagined. It is likely to benefit from their original civilization.
, just as Warlord Warlord said, they originally belonged to an advanced civilization.
Ding Meng calculated that it would take nearly 20 years to reach the 1,200 light-year distance if flying at 4 times the warp speed, but he believed that it would be impossible for the Elder Council to spend such a long time on interstellar navigation.
, this is something that consumes both motor and oil.
He scanned the main console again and immediately discovered the use of the two-state complex metal of the Xunlong. At this moment, the energy circles bursting out from the starship's wingspan in all directions were constantly folding and distorting time and space in an "arc and chord" combination.
Tunnel, he immediately understood. This is the principle of folding a piece of paper in half. The two points on a straight line are the shortest. Combining warp speed with space folding can shorten the time that originally took 20 years to a few years or even a few months.
.
"How long do we need to fly?" Dinmon asked.
Lu Qidao: "We will arrive in 42 days!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ding Meng was shocked again. According to the formula, this is almost a level 10 warp speed, which is the theoretical speed at which those god-level civilizations have mastered the technology and can travel across the galaxy.
What kind of civilization is the origin of this Steel Mane Empire?
But he was quickly relieved. The Xunlong had been charged for six years. This was probably an engine built by the Steel Mane clan with all their efforts, right?
Looking at the various strange scenes flashing on the light screen, Ding Meng murmured and sighed: "What you are looking for may be more important than ever before."
Poseidon also sighed: "To be honest, this is related to the future of our clan."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "Is it really that important?"
Poseidon looked solemn: "The Silence System was accidentally discovered by us when we were drifting in the universe many years ago. Lord Ming Li's fleet also went there before."
Ding Meng didn't intend to hide it, and asked directly: "Did he discover anything on Huiyuan Planet?"
Poseidon said: "Mrs. Ming was brought all the way from the Gray Plain Star to the Byron Star Territory by Lord Ming, and she later became Mrs. Ming."
In a distant and unfamiliar galaxy, there are actually other steel-maned people. If it were Din Meng, he would also doubt Ming Li.
Poseidon said: "Actually, there are many members of our tribe scattered throughout the universe. It is actually quite normal to find our tribe members in strange galaxies."
He didn't finish what he said, but Ding Meng could still hear the meaning behind it. The abnormal thing was that Mrs. Ming later gave birth to Xiaobai. This was definitely an abnormal phenomenon. According to the explanation of Warlord Warlord, the Steel Mane clan had gone through a long process.
During the mutation process, a member of the original tribe was suddenly born, which proved that Mrs. Ming carried the genes of the original tribe, and that the original tribe had the ability to sense new energy. This must be investigated by the Council of Elders.
But Xiaobai was abandoned when he was born, and the elders couldn't even think about it, because in everyone's eyes, Ming Li and his wife despised this illegitimate child, and the elders couldn't say much about it. However, it stands to reason that the elders would investigate Xiaobai.
Bai's move is not difficult, but why did the elders have to wait until today to take action?
My previous analysis was that the Council of Elders must know some inside information. They deliberately left Xiaobai untouched because Xiaobai was too young. When the time came, they would go directly to the concentration camp to bring Xiaobai back. There was absolutely no need to kill Ming Li and his wife. This was definitely
There are hidden things that you don't know about.
But Ding Meng didn't think much about it now. With more than a month, he could not only have a good rest, but also practice martial arts alone in his room, while Xiaobai and Feng were arranged to another room.
Xiaobai is an ordinary steel-maned person with no source of power in his body, so Xiaobai is served by various metal delicacies every day. He eats when he wakes up and sleeps after eating. Xiaobai has never been able to live such a good life since he was a child.
The 40 days passed quickly, and the Xunlong starship had been freed from its warped state and was sailing quietly in the depths of the sea of stars.
From the radar screen, it was really dark and nothing could be seen.
Lu Qi's face was solemn: "No, we are passing through a large area of interstellar dust. The density and scale of this dust are at least fifty times that of the periphery of the large spiral of the Wochu Galaxy."
Ding Meng asked curiously: "How do you know?"
Lu Qidao: "I have been to this place three times in total. The first time I discovered it accidentally during the great migration, and the second time I escaped from the Colorful Department and was chased here by the Frog Fleet."
Ding Meng said: "That time it was too late for everyone to escape, so how come you were chased by the Frog Fleet?"
Lu Qi smiled bitterly: "Master Ding, you don't know something. We escaped the galaxy explosion, but on the way back we encountered a second frog military fleet that came to rescue us. At that time, our starship had already loaded a batch of precious
If the supplies are inspected by them, the loss will be too great, and our voyage group cannot afford it."
Ding Meng stared at him: "So you chose to escape?"
Lu Qi smiled even harder: "It's impossible to really get rid of them!"
Ding Meng sighed: "But that's not necessarily the case if you escape towards this star field."
When he said this, he had already seen Xilang pull up a three-dimensional simulation map from the reconnaissance platform. It was the terrain of this star field. Its periphery was indeed very similar to the situation of the Wochu Galaxy. The circle formed a complex
The interstellar dust spreads across a span of at least billions of kilometers, and it is impossible for ordinary starships to penetrate it.
After crossing this chasm, black and gray meteorites are densely connected together. It looks like an asphalt ground with large and small black stones, soil, and sand sprinkled on it.
In the Federation Empire, including the Frogmen of the Plundering Realm, this star field is called the "Land of Death", or simply the Dead Land.
Death places are not common in the universe, but they do exist, and there are many reasons for their formation. Some are materials left behind by supernova explosions, some are star fields where wars have occurred, and some may even be the trauma left behind after battles between interstellar warriors.
Earth, no matter what the reason, they have been severely damaged. After endless drifting in the universe and changes over a long period of time, they gradually gathered together and became a lifeless star field.
Lifeless means that there is no Fiery Sun Star, no light source, no vitality, and no life forms. It is a completely dead place with no use value. Even a garbage dump would not be chosen here.
Plant a place.
Lu Qi added: "But that escape allowed me to discover the secrets here."
"What secret?" Ding Meng quickly asked.
"That's it!" Poseidon's voice came from the main console.
The black steel bed on the main console has been raised. Under the joint operation of Poseidon and Silang, a large black metal ocean has taken shape, which corresponds to the three-dimensional simulation diagram of the reconnaissance platform. The simulation diagram is a virtual light curtain, and the main control panel
What the platform generated was a real-life scale model. As the two expelled a large number of nebulae, dust, meteorites, debris, debris and irrelevant celestial body models, they peeled off the cocoons little by little, and a standard real-life galaxy emerged.
The model is displayed.
This huge star field that looks like a dead place is actually a complete galaxy, with more than 50 stars revolving around a core planet at different orbits and speeds. However, a large amount of dust and debris obscures it all, and there is no light.
Even if the starships of the Federation Empire come here, they will not find this hidden galaxy that is almost like a drifting object.
Only the Starships of the Steelmane tribe have a chance of discovering this, because Poseidon and the others do not use advanced scanning technology, but the results calculated through mechanical simulation and data evolution.
Din Meng was once again impressed by the rigor, persistence and adventurous spirit of the Steelmane clan.
