Lin Ling's fleet has been accelerating, maintaining a flight speed exceeding the speed of light, but there is a limit to such acceleration.
It’s not just a matter of the strength of the fuselage, but also the scientific theory that arises from it. If they exceed the speed of light too much, they may not be able to stop, or by the time they stop, the outside world will It’s already been a long time ago.
Whether the human war is won or lost may have nothing to do with them at that time, and even if they survive, what's the point?
When their speed reached the limit, the fuselage could no longer withstand the damage of acceleration. After forcibly opening part of the protective shield, they could only maintain this speed.
However, the goldfish behind were not affected by the super-light flight at all. Their speed did not seem to increase significantly. They always stayed behind Lin Ling's fleet, and the distance did not seem to be much closer.
It seems to be quite reassuring, as if the opponent's physical strength has reached its limit.
The scientist looked very excited when he saw that the goldfish did not continue to approach. These spaceships had been specially modified. According to his theory, the physical strength of these goldfish should be like this, so the battleships were also modified to be slightly stronger. Of course, this is the only transformation that can be carried out at present.
"Haha, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it..."
The scientist shouted with almost hysterical excitement.
"My research is right, my research is right..."
However, this seemingly crazy scientist made Lin Ling very irritated. In her opinion, such research may not have any meaning.
Because those goldfish don't seem to have any obvious increase in speed, but the problem is that the opponent's physical strength should definitely be more than what can be seen currently. Otherwise, how can they survive in such a terrifying different-dimensional space.
These goldfish seem to have no intention of accelerating further, but Lin Ling knows that some hunters like to torture their prey slowly. They will always maintain a certain speed and follow their prey until the prey is exhausted. , will quickly approach.
But even so, they will not kill their prey immediately. They are like a cat playing with a mouse, constantly playing with it and applauding, enjoying this terrifying process.
That is, after the speed of her fleet reached the limit, she noticed a very small detail. No one noticed it because it was really too small. Being able to be seen by her was just luck. , it happened that her attention was right in front of those goldfish, otherwise, like other people, even the battleship's sensors, she would not be able to detect anything.
At that time, she clearly saw that the goldfish had an obvious acceleration process after discovering that their fleet had reached its limit, but this process was so short that it passed in the blink of an eye. Then the goldfish seemed to notice this and immediately started to Slowed down.
Miraculously, their speed remained basically the same as that of their own fleet, and the previous distance no longer increased, and certainly did not decrease.
It looked like a still picture, but in fact, Lin Ling was actually stunned at that moment.
She has experienced life and death on the battlefield for so many years, and has been on the edge of life and death many times, but she has never felt the fear of facing an abyss like she did just now.
Those goldfish seemed to intentionally let them go, and even deliberately released the water when they might be caught up. All of this could almost only mean one thing, and that was that these goldfish had a high enough IQ.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the behavior just now. If it was the instinct of a beast, Lin Ling would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.
Unlike the excited and hysterical scientist, she felt that her fleet might be in big trouble.
The situation at this moment seems stable, but who can say whether those goldfish will suddenly explode in the next moment.
If it came directly to him, something big would definitely happen.
At this time, she was very anxious, but she couldn't show it, otherwise, the whole thing would be in a state of panic.
It is precisely because of this that she turned a blind eye to the hot-tongued scientist. Perhaps only the existence of such a guy can make people feel that they have no problems, and the crew of the fleet will feel that everything is fine. Under the control of their captain.
She had always maintained silence and was still commanding the entire fleet calmly, but now she was eagerly thinking about how to get out of the current situation.
However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not think of any suitable method. After all, they were not facing the Bone Demon Clan, but some terrifying cosmic beasts.
They have great power, are fearless against all challenges, and are suspected of having very high IQs. Such monsters are simply a nightmare for them.
But when it comes to whether she regrets provoking them, Lin Ling can tell anyone who asks such a question that she has absolutely no regrets. If these goldfish did not have such powerful power, she would actually be worried if they were lured to the Bone Demon Clan. The place will be wiped out by the opponent soon.
Now it seems there is no need to worry.
And just when she was concentrating on thinking, the crazy scientist suddenly came to her side, took her arm and started to leave, saying that he needed her help with something important.
At this time, Lin Ling had no intention of accompanying this guy who only had science in mind to fool around here. She immediately asked people to take him away and not let him disturb her.
But the scientist's hands were like a vise, tightly grabbing his arm. No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pull him away.
If he hadn't looked like a weak scientist, Lin Ling might have thought that this was a warrior who escaped from nowhere.
The stalemate lasted for a quarter of an hour. Seven or eight people were unable to separate the scientist from Lin Ling. On the contrary, the strong men were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
In the end, Lin Ling had no choice but to compromise and followed the scientist to a conference room.
Lin Ling looked at the scientist with a displeased face, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "Researcher Li Bing, if you have anything important to say, just tell me!"
The scientist named Li Bing looked at the conference room and seemed a little hesitant, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
"Tell me, it's just you and me here. It's safe. There won't be anyone else. This is my battleship, and all the equipment is safe and reliable!"
Lin Ling said to reassure him. It seemed that this guy really had something to say. Of course, it had better be something important. Otherwise, she would definitely beat this guy until he couldn't take care of himself.
Under Lin Ling's extremely smart eyes, Li Bing finally spoke hesitantly.
"Commander Lin, I discovered before that the physical strength of those goldfish seems to be higher than imagined, and their speed still has a lot of room to increase. As for how much, I can't calculate it yet, the time is too short... But I’m sure it would be very easy for those goldfish to catch up with us at our current speed!”
What Li Bing said really shocked Lin Ling. This guy had discovered it a long time ago but kept silent.
"Why didn't you say it in the first place!?"
"I, I, I...are afraid of causing panic!"
Lin Ling breathed a long sigh of relief. This person was not a fool who only had science in his mind. At least he understood what it means to be human and to understand priorities.
"Furthermore, I also need further confirmation. Although it is only a naked eye observation, I still found that the distance between them and us is shrinking, but the shrinkage is only a few centimeters... It seems that the other party's speed It’s a bit difficult to suppress. It’s almost an instinct to keep getting closer..."
What Li Bing said next made Lin Ling extremely shocked. The other party even said this
All discovered.
"Do you think, if this trend continues, how long will it take for these goldfish to really catch up with us? Of course, that is if we don't slow down..."
Lin Ling's question was already very direct. He needed as real and reliable data as possible to allow him to make a more appropriate judgment.
"15 to 20 hours is already the limit. Although they only increase by a few centimeters each time, it is a geometric increase, but it will greatly shorten this time..."
In his subsequent words, Li Bing had already added too many professional vocabulary. Although Lin Ling could understand every word he said, when they were strung together, it made people feel like they were surrounded by clouds and fog.
However, one meaning was conveyed very clearly, that is, they did not have much time. If they had followed the original plan, they might have been overtaken by these goldfish before reaching the territory of the Bone Demon Tribe. By then, I am afraid that even if these goldfish intend to release water, they will not turn a blind eye to their fleet in front of them.
"Have you ever told anyone else about this!?"
"No, apart from you, I am the only one who knows..."
As he spoke, Li Bing suddenly stepped back, sat down on the ground, looked at Lin Ling in horror, and said almost tremblingly.
"You, you, you...don't you want to kill people and silence them?"
As soon as these shocking words came out, Lin Ling almost fainted. This guy's brain made her feel normal just now. Now it seems that he is also a brainless person. He will kill people and silence him wherever he goes. You know What a big deal.
She could also kill people and silence them. Although this was a big deal and she really didn't want others to know about it, it wasn't to the point where she really needed to keep it airtight.
After all, they are all soldiers, and this is on the battlefield. Life and death are indifferent. If you don't accept it, just do it. There is nothing to worry about.
Then she picked up Li Bing and said, "Let's do more research in the future and stop watching weird movies. What are you thinking about!?"
"Go ahead and calculate the exact numbers to see how long it will take for those goldfish to encounter us. Remember, I want accurate numbers. List all the smallest numbers that humans currently have. do you understand!?"
Li Bing nodded blankly, as if he hadn't come to his senses yet, and seemed a little embarrassed.
Afterwards, Li Bing left. He was going to seize all the time to calculate the time between this goldfish and their encounter. However, when he was leaving, he was asked by Lin Ling.
"Why are you so energetic? There are so many people, but they can't pull you away!"
"In order to have a strong body and cope with various environments and research, I actually carried out nano-modifications on my body. It is almost half a robot..."
