Chapter 1134 High-speed evacuation operation (7)
The Swan's overspeeding caused great damage to the engine.
Originally, it was only inspected once a year or even every two or three years. After using it for speeding, I am afraid that it will have to be checked every six months to prevent the engine from suddenly falling apart when it needs to accelerate.
And this kind of overload, using the engine in a way that exceeds the design power, will also bring about a huge speed increase.
The Swan, which was already super fast, immediately left the aircraft carrier formation that was helping the Swan to block its guns. It can be said that except for jumps and pulse flights, no ship can catch up. The Swan after pulling up the distance.
"Turn, bearing 65."
"Understood, direction 65 steering."
Pulse flight can only go in a straight line, and when activating pulse flight, the ship is not under control unless it is unexpectedly terminated or reaches the set destination, so there is nothing to worry about if you keep flying for a while and then turn around. The squadron behind them used pulse flight to catch up.
As for the jump, Anyun can predict it ten seconds in advance. These ten seconds are enough for the Swan to move around and avoid the warships tracking the jump.
What is the fastest legend in the void?
However, this still cannot change the core problem. The Swan is trapped in this star field.
Since it cannot jump or pulse flight, the Swan cannot immediately leave the star field that has been involved in the war.
The Red Maple Republic has at least three fleets and nearly two thousand battleships. The number of battleships in the Spinning Water Federation will only be more, not less.
With such a huge fleet of both sides fighting each other in the same star system, any stray bullet would be fatal to the Swan.
The safest way now is for the Swan to join the large fleet of the Spinning Water Federation and hand them over the finished product, Emma and Sun Lin's data, and so on. It is best to board a super-large battleship like a starship to ensure that Safety.
Alyssa doesn’t need to worry about anything else.
But the problem is that the distance is too far. If you can't use pulse flight, I'm afraid it will take several hours. The Swan's super-speed flight can't last for that long. I'm afraid the engine will be burned by then, and the reactor will explode on the spot. Let's see. It’s not impossible.
The other thing is to find a place to jump. The Swan escaped alone and continued to the capital star of the Spinning Water Federation without changing its itinerary. It would take about four or five days to get there.
The benefits are safety, autonomy and privacy.
But the downside is that without cover, you will be chased and slashed.
Although the aircraft carrier formation of the Spinning Water Federation would rather sacrifice themselves to cover the retreat of the Swan, they cannot delay it for too long. After all, the aircraft carrier formation is only composed of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers, not mainstream large ships and cannons. Nor does it have an advantage.
Alyssa could even feel that the squadron of more than a dozen ships was already chasing the Swan.
So, between the two paths, how should Alyssa choose?
She closed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"Descend to full sail."
Then he said to Anyun:
"Let's do our best to find the weak points of the shielding force field. We need to jump as soon as possible."
She chose the latter.
The former is indeed stable, but it will take several hours to join the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation. It is really too far, and the process of getting closer is equivalent to approaching the fleet of the Red Maple Republic.
Not to mention whether they will send ships to intercept, the closer they get, the closer they are to the shielding force field. If they choose this path, there is no option to look back.
The longer the time, the higher the probability of emergencies. The long nights and the lack of room for retreat made Alyssa choose the latter.
The Swan descended from super-speed flight back to full-speed flight. This was done on the one hand to protect the engine and reactor, and on the other hand it was to allow An Yun to use her psychic powers more clearly to find weak points in the shielding field.
Moreover, it needs to be done before the squadron arrives!
As time passed, the Swan was flying away from the battlefield, but the number of fleets was too large, which also made the size of the shielding field too outrageous.
Alyssa clasped her hands on the bridge, hoping that Bichi, the goddess of luck, would be alone this time.
About ten minutes later, Long saw the engine light in the viewfinder:
"Maybe the fleet of the Red Maple Republic is catching up."
This is bad news. In terms of conventional navigation speed, no warship can catch up with the Swan, but one can aim at the general direction of the Swan and start pulse flight to shorten the distance as much as possible.
If you enter the opponent's fire range, it will be more difficult to escape.
Fortunately, the goddess of luck finally smiled at Alyssa.
"I found it! A wavy hollow has been marked on the route."
An Yun wiped the blood stain on his nose like a bubble. It was a warning for excessive use of psychic energy. If it continues to be used, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain. An Yun is afraid that it will become What an idiot.
Fortunately, the weak point was found at this time.
The Swan immediately sailed towards the weak point, and Alyssa saw the opportunity and pressed the jump button.
Everyone in the bridge could hear the low roar and vibration coming from the direction of the tail engine. It was the Swan's engine fighting against the constraints of the obscuring force field, like a man stuck in mud, trying to force himself out. The legs were pulled out of the mire.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The bridge was suddenly enveloped in a burst of white light, and Alyssa felt a little relieved.
Jump started successfully.
The Swan disappeared from this star field with a burst of distortion.
Due to the emergency situation, Alyssa didn't have time to set the target location for the jump. She just went wherever she could, since she couldn't stay in this galaxy anymore.
After the jump was completed and she reopened the star map, Alyssa discovered that the Swan had only jumped a distance of less than seven or eight yars and arrived at the dark star field between star systems.
There is no engine light, no artillery fire, and it is even difficult to see the sea of stars in the distance.
"Set a new jump point and let's continue the jump."
Now is not the time to rest assured. Now that the squadron of the Red Maple Republic has come after them, it is very likely that the Swan's jump coordinates will be detected within a minute.
The Swan still needs to continue jumping and running.
Although the method of jumping is convenient, it is actually very troublesome to rely on jumping to throw off the pursuers.
The jump signal is so clear that tracking it doesn't even require a psyker like Anyun, just shipboard equipment.
If you want to erase the transition signal, you can only rely on a massive star, such as a star, to orbit it through gravity navigation, and it will have to be repeated several times before it can be completely shaken off.
"I felt the jump signal, they are coming!"
"Continue to jump!"
An Yun only took the time to wipe off his nosebleed with a tissue at this moment. The Swan disappeared from the star field again with a distortion. Almost less than thirty or forty seconds after the Swan disappeared, the squadron of the Red Maple Republic had arrived and Immediately detect the new jump signal and continue tracking.
In this kind of pursuit game, the Swan does not have an advantage. After all, it is only the smallest battleship. The capacity of the energy pool and the jump distance are the weakest among the battleships.
Each jump consumes a large amount of energy, and the energy consumption increases exponentially with the distance.
Alyssa needed to find a place where she could truly escape her pursuers, or at least where the Swan could hide temporarily.
And this must be completed within thirty seconds before the fleet arrives, otherwise it will be delayed and unable to escape.
Alyssa kept flipping through the star map, trying to find the next suitable jump location, and her brows became deeper and deeper.
Until Li Chengqi suddenly interrupted:
"Do you still remember the Daming Lake... No, do you still remember the bright spot marked on the star map?"
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and with a swipe of her finger, the star map turned to a slightly bright star field.
Maybe it's worth a try?
