In the undercurrent of time and space, thousands of years of sailing have seriously aged the spacecraft. If it weren't for the nano-repair technology, the spaceship would have disintegrated long ago; otherwise, like Huang Daoxuan, they would have to use immortals to save only a few spaceships.
But even with nano-repair technology, protecting spaceships is not a simple matter, and many spacecrafts are still difficult to preserve; especially in the undercurrent of space and time, changes in the flow rate of time cause serious internal stress and structural damage to the spacecraft; therefore, Appeared in front of Huang Daoxuan and others In front of them are mottled spaceships - it is unimaginable that hard special steel can be like weathered rocks, with layers of scale-shaped regolith appearing on the surface. As the spacecraft jumps out of the hole of the undercurrent of time and space, pieces of iron The crumbs were scattered like black-gray snowflakes.
One spaceship after another continued to appear, but after many spaceships came out, they began to crack due to changes in time and space; it was only at the critical moment that the protective layer was turned on and compressed inward to save the spacecraft.
Of course, there are also a small number of spaceships that shine with golden light. These spaceships are either made by immortals or rebuilt not long ago using spaceships that follow the void smelting technology of the spacecraft. These new spaceships have four main applications: to protect new lives born during travel, people with relatively low cultivation levels, injured people, medical institutions, etc.; or scientific research institutions; or factories, warehouses, etc.; the last one is of course It is a warship designed to respond to war at any time!
And even Zhang Jingyuan had to ride on some relatively dilapidated spaceships, and the painful groans of the spacecraft structure could even be heard during the flight. Six thousand years, in this fierce environment of time and space, the steel will really age.
Finally, a total of 200,000 spaceships came out!
200,000? Wasn’t it one hundred thousand when entering the undercurrent of time and space? Yes, it is really 200,000, but 170,000 of them are unmanned spacecrafts, many of which are only a few hundred meters long. The remaining 30,000 are the real manned spacecraft, factories, warehouses, research institutes, etc. It turns out that there are too many spaceships in the undercurrent of time and space that are seriously aging and no longer worth repairing. They were directly melted down and built a large number of unmanned spacecrafts to prepare for the expected battle after entering the Andromeda Galaxy.
But even Zhang Jingyuan didn't expect it. At the exit, there were actually 100,000 survivors coming to greet him!
For a time, everyone hugged each other. After a gap of a thousand years, which should actually be more than six thousand years, the heroes finally hugged again; however, many old friends were still missing; not all of them could survive the long six thousand years. Thousands of years, and the countless dangers in the undercurrent of time and space!
Finally, the excited Huang Daoxuan walked up to Zhang Jingyuan, and the two parties hugged each other fiercely. "Your Majesty, let's go to a place a thousand light-years away for the time being. Although it is also dangerous there, there are a small number of planets suitable for us, and we can even live there without modification. Let everyone rest for a while first, and then we can discuss it in the long term. ”
"Okay!" Zhang Jingyuan nodded. There are now more than 5 billion people in the fleet. After a long journey of six thousand years, everyone urgently needs a place to rest.
The fleet rolled forward, scattering pieces of iron filings in space. But the Sirius clan in the distance saw that the Chinese humans were really advancing a thousand light years away, and they didn't have the courage to pursue them. Saw so many spaceships. The Sirius clan was a little frightened!
In general, China's assault fleet is pretty good, and it finally arrived smoothly. Then, we compare the detected information of the Milky Way with the current information of Andromeda to correct the time. The reason is relatively simple, which is to observe the position of the Milky Way from the Andromeda Galaxy, and the original position of the Andromeda Galaxy from the Milky Way, plus the decay of light. etc. comparison. With the help of powerful computers, the time can be corrected to within one year. Don't think this time is rough. After six thousand years of time chaos, the time can be corrected through two galaxies 2.2 million light-years apart, and the time can be accurate to within one year. This is already a very remarkable achievement.
Seeing that the time finally pointed to the year 4457 in the Imperial Calendar, everyone looked at each other and smiled. The next step is not to fight, but to build and cultivate. Build a certain scale of industrial and military power as soon as possible and recuperate before starting a new battle!
A tiger entered the Andromeda Galaxy! But even the Sirius clan, who are in direct contact with humans, don't know that their fate has begun to countdown! Maybe these giant beasts are very powerful, maybe there are many of them, maybe there is no shortage of giant beasts like Zhu Danfeng whose body is as big as a small star, but without hands and creativity, they are just a fixed target that cannot develop and grow. Sooner or later it will be destroyed!
And intelligent life with creativity will use its weak hands to build miraculous existences and bulldoze these giant beasts one by one!
————————
In the dark space, a huge fleet was advancing rapidly like a small galaxy. When Zhang Jingyuan's assault fleet began to take root, this fleet had only traveled less than one-fifth of the distance! The interstellar space spanning 2.2 million light-years cannot be just talked about.
Especially after entering interstellar space, the output power of the space engine began to continue to decrease, and the speed of the fleet's advance has been reduced from a thousand times the speed of light in the galaxy to just over 100 times the speed of light now.
The reason for this is also very simple. China's current super-light advancement technology is mainly a technology brought by the space engine from the Pearl Star Field. The characteristics of this technology are: the use of space folds. The more severe the space folds, the smaller the spaceship's speed. The faster it goes!
It can be compared like this, space is like a bed sheet, and the space engine is like a needle and thread; if the bed sheet is very wrinkled, a few needles can penetrate it; but if the bed sheet has no wrinkles and is spread straight on the bed, if you want to get from this end to The other end needs to be crossed bit by bit.
Within the galaxy, space is affected by the gravity of planets, celestial bodies, etc., and the space folds are very severe, so the spacecraft directly passes through each "fold" like a tunnel; but now in outer space, the space folds are becoming more and more The smaller it is, the mechanism is even almost smooth. In this case, it is like walking on a winding mountain road. The distance increases a lot, so the speed of the space engine is getting lower and lower.
But the fleet encountered difficulties. But it's not just the current situation. The spacecraft's engines have been working continuously for thousands of years, and problems have begun to occur one after another. Although preparations have been made, temporary replacements, etc., will still cause a lot of trouble; especially the two sets of equipment for transporting the Earth and Venus. If it stops, it will cause quite a lot of trouble; the bigger it is, the more complicated it is.
The time has reached Imperial Calendar Year 4399... Yes, the time record on the fleet is 4399, not Imperial Calendar Year 4457 calculated by Zhang Jingyuan. Was Zhang Jingyuan wrong? Of course not, but because interstellar space has low space, or space-time folds, and slow time flow! It should be said that both times are correct. What is wrong is just that the technology is not up to standard!
But as the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone. Everyone stopped, and when the fleet began to slide forward at sub-light speed and repair, the detector in front sent a message - a huge starry sky beast was discovered!
The message came. This alarmed the entire top management of the migration fleet. The current emperor Zhang Mingyuan, assistants Zhang Qiyun and Zhang Wanfei, as well as officers, scientist representatives, adventure association representatives, etc., all came to the scene. Looking at this densely packed monster, they all felt numb.
Zhang Guan is responsible for all data and exploration, and is now making a simple report: "The distance between the two sides is now 270 light-years, calculated according to the scale and direction of both of us. If we continue to move forward, it is estimated that in a year and two months we will inevitably Will meet.
But if the fleet deviates from the direction. Not only do we have to change the routes of all spacecrafts, but if all 90 billion spacecrafts start and turn, it will consume at least enough energy for the spacecraft to move forward at full speed for a year. So from the perspective of energy consumption, don't turn if you can't; the energy consumed by turning may be enough for us to fight a war.
What's more, we are not familiar with space. If we turn a corner, it is very likely that we will take a thousand light-years more route, and this energy consumption is also not small.
The most important thing is that the direction we are heading in has been strictly calculated, in order to calculate this direction. It has been calculated for more than a hundred years. If there is a slight deviation, it can be accepted; if the deviation is large, it will have a relatively large impact on us. Here we deviate from the course by one meter. When we reach the target, we may deviate from the target by tens of thousands of light years.
Therefore, in this space environment, I prefer to fight and eliminate targets if possible.
Changing course is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. ”
Zhang Guan's words made everyone secretly nod. Space is not the ground. If you walk on the ground, you can turn just as easily as you want. But in space, even at sub-light speed and inertial gliding, it takes a lot of time to turn a corner. of energy. In fact, energy cannot be wasted casually! Perhaps it is because of this waste of energy that it leads to some unimaginable consequences. In space, especially when you have to travel 2.2 million light years, you must be careful.
However, there are too many starry behemoths discovered ahead! There are even two flaming birds that look like small stars, as well as countless other monsters. There are only a few simple detectors ahead, mainly detecting routes, safety conditions, etc. However, the number and range of monsters appearing in this area actually exceed the detection range of the detectors!
As for whether a battle will break out after the encounter, basically don’t think about it...
According to the few existing photos and data, these starry behemoths are like small planets, advancing rapidly in space, and their advancing speed is much faster than humans! Perhaps these life forms have adapted to such an environment. Biological instincts are always powerful, this must be admitted - in fact this is also one of the core theories of biotechnology, but unfortunately, the few biotech civilizations China has seen have not reached such a height.
For example, now, the migration of China's fleet is strictly calculated, but these giant beasts can judge the route based on their own instincts. This is the greatness of life. Of course, it is fortunate that China did not encounter a powerful biological civilization before, otherwise the Chinese Empire might have become a Chinese province!
After looking at the information, Mo Yingjie, an elite military officer, also said seriously: "They are faster than us, and their number is estimated to be around 100 million. The reason why they did not take a clear picture is that on the one hand, it is the darkness of the universe, and on the other hand, it is also the detector and The other parties passed by each other at high speed, and there was only time to capture a few residual lights and shadows, so they could not be seen clearly
But if you look carefully, you can still recognize such pictures with your eyes. The number of these monsters is about 100 million. The largest one is the size of a small star and has a diameter of more than 300,000 kilometers, and most of them are around 1,000 kilometers. I always have a feeling that the 300,000-kilometer-high monster is a bit like the mount Taizu caught in space. Do you think this is the people and subordinate races of the Sun Bird Zhu Danfeng? They also want to settle down in the Milky Way and colonize it by the way? And maybe this was caused by Zhu Danfeng intentionally or unintentionally? "(To be continued...)
