The journey from the starting point to the Wolf 359 star system is only 1.8 light-years, which is no pressure on the maximum range of 2.1 light-years for the transport aircraft.
Nonetheless, according to the "Interstellar Space Navigation Regulations" of the Expeditionary Fleet, for a voyage of more than 1 light-year, the pilots and crew are required to perform regular duty rotations and sleep to ensure optimal flight safety and personnel health.
As the only one among the six people with long-range interstellar space command and flight experience, Zhou Yun naturally became the flight commander of this mission, fully responsible for the safe flight and command of the transport aircraft.
According to the range, the transport aircraft will gradually accelerate to 60% of the speed of light in the first three months, which is also its maximum speed. After that, it will continue to fly at this speed for nearly three years, and will fly for up to six times when approaching the destination. The moon slows down until it reaches the Wolf 359 star system.
The entire flight will last 3 years and 9 months.
According to the flight plan, Zhou Yun quickly made flight arrangements. During the first three months of the first phase of the acceleration state, all personnel will be on full duty. After entering the second phase of the constant speed state, except for one flight attendant, Other personnel will enter the hibernation cabin to hibernate, and each person's rotation period is 6 months.
After entering the third stage of deceleration, all sleeping personnel will be awakened.
In the silent and deep starry sky, the transport aircraft began to accelerate continuously, leaving a long and hot particle flame stream behind it, like a cloud slowly disappearing among the stars.
Three hours later, the transport aircraft's airborne electromagnetic detection device detected a strong electromagnetic signal source coming from a star field about 30,000 kilometers to the left.
In the subsequent electromagnetic analysis, Zhou Yun found that the electromagnetic characteristics of the signal source were extremely similar to the hull materials of human interstellar spacecraft. Further detection revealed that there was a high probability that it should be the debris accumulation of a human interstellar spacecraft. .
If it was really a human starship, who destroyed it? Who does it belong to?
The sudden discovery made everyone in the flight control room, including Liu Hanyang, hold their breath. They stared intently at the electromagnetic detection device and the strong electromagnetic signals above, with confusion on their faces.
Thinking that this place is not far from the location where the Voyage Fleet was attacked, if it is really the wreckage of a human interstellar spacecraft, then it is most likely to belong to the Voyage Fleet and must have been attacked during the escape process.
If the above inference is correct, then the voyage fleet was not destroyed.
Go deep into new attack locations. Once survivors are found, it is possible to figure out who attacked the expedition fleet? There are many mysteries about where he went.
"I think it is necessary to go to the new attack location to help solve the problem of our final destination." Liu Hanyang said.
"Are you saying that there are problems with traveling to Wolf 359?" Xiao Hang asked rhetorically.
"Of course not, and that's not what I meant. What I want to say is that once the mystery of the voyage fleet's whereabouts is solved, there is no need for us to spend nearly four years heading to an unknown galaxy."
"What if this is a trap? Or a gathering place for the attacker's main fleet?"
Xiao Hang's successive rhetorical questions made Liu Hanyang fall into silence. Indeed, although the airborne electromagnetic detection device of the transport aircraft detected strong electromagnetic signal sources in the star field of about 30,000 kilometers, it could not be 100% sure. Even with the wreckage of human interstellar spacecraft, all conclusions are just speculation.
Assuming that the speculation is correct, that is, the source of the signal is the debris collection of a human interstellar spacecraft, then judging from the distance, the unknown force that attacked this interstellar spacecraft should be the same as the unknown force that previously attacked the Expedition Fleet and the Tiberian Interstellar Expedition Fleet. force.
A civilization that can attack both the human fleet and the Tiberian fleet should have technological and military power far superior to the first two. Otherwise, the Tiberian interstellar expedition team that implements the "Cosmic Vanguard" plan will not be defeated. .
Also, for higher-level civilizations, the airborne electromagnetic detection devices of transport aircraft with less advanced performance may not be able to detect their existence at all. If it is true as Xiao Hang said, it is a trap or the assembly of its main fleet. Earth, then going to this star field is simply throwing yourself into a trap.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a long time, and everyone was silent. They were weighing the pros and cons. Judging from their expressions, Xiao Hang's words seemed to be more shocking.
"I think that the main battlefield is in the star field we passed through before, not the newly emerged star field, because the electromagnetic intensity and debris scale of the former are larger than that of the latter, and the latter is just a pursuit battlefield at best, so, There is no need to be overly nervous." Zhou Yun broke the silence.
"Which star field do you tend to go to?" Xiao Hang asked.
"Yes, we have spent nearly 4 years on the voyage to Wolf 359, isn't it just to find traces of the voyage fleet? If based on this, the 30,000-kilometer star field can help us solve the mystery of the whereabouts of the voyage fleet. Question, why not take the risk?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and even Mecha XY2653, who had always regarded Zhou Yun as a "love rival", cast an approving look at her.
The transport aircraft slowed down. The deceleration was completed after 7 hours. It changed its course and flew towards the star field on the left.
Three hours later, the transport aircraft arrived in the star field.
In the dark star field, a pile of shipwrecks slowly rotated around the center of a circle. What surprised everyone was that the center of the circle did not have the huge electromagnetic vortex they had seen before, but a mass that was gradually The intensity of the disappearing light is rapidly attenuating, but the outline of the electromagnetic vortex outlined by the light can still be vaguely seen.
In addition, the speed of the ship wreckage near the center of the circle is not consistent with that of the wreckage in the outer circle. The speed of the former is slowing down, while the latter seems to be gradually spreading to the surroundings as if it has lost its adsorption force.
Various signs indicate that with the disappearance of the electromagnetic vortex, the spiral-shaped wreckage of the ship is gradually losing its cohesion.
"Similar to the electromagnetic vortex we have seen before, it is slowly decaying." Zhou Yun stared at the wreckage of the ship and said with a serious face.
"The wreckage should belong to an interstellar ship of the Voyage Fleet. It was completely destroyed by the electromagnetic vortex." Xiao Hang said sadly.
"Now it is certain that the electromagnetic vortex that attacked this ship is the same weapon as the electromagnetic vortex that attacked the voyage fleet before, and was caused by the same unknown force." After Liu Hanyang finished speaking, he withdrew his eyes from the wreckage and looked towards Zhou Yun then continued, "Can you detect the hull number of the attacked ship?"
Zhou Yun nodded, and then controlled the electromagnetic detection device to start searching for the ship's hull number among the tens of thousands of wreckage. Ten minutes later, after scanning and summarizing a large number of wreckage, the electromagnetic detection device finally restored the ship's hull number. The ship's hull number and the three eye-catching words "Lodens" appeared on the terminal display.
Although it is a patchwork of dozens of wreckage pieces, it does not affect the recognition of the ship.
The "Lodens" is a spacecraft of the same class as the "Rongyu" class, humanity's first-generation starship. Although it is not as advanced as the second-generation "Gravity"-class and third-generation "Taimiao"-class starships, it is still compiled Joined the voyage fleet executing the "Mission Exploration" plan.
Its specific mission, in addition to performing some less intense combat missions, is mainly to provide security escort missions for the long-distance fleet.
The atmosphere in the flight control room became cold, and everyone silently stared at the debris that was gradually spreading into interstellar space, with sad expressions on their faces.
"Everyone, cheer up. Maybe things are not as bad as we think. Maybe we can figure out the whole process of the attack on the voyage fleet, and even who attacked it."
After Liu Hanyang finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yun. She understood what he meant. Without the threat of electromagnetic vortex, the transport aircraft can penetrate deep into the wreckage, and through scanning and analysis of the wreckage, it can restore the "music" to the maximum extent. The entire process of the attack on the Dons.
Before, they did not have such conditions. First, because the debris array was too large, stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Secondly, the wreckage array is composed of different ship fragments and is too fragmented. The instruments and equipment inside the ship have been completely damaged, losing the significance of scanning and research.
Furthermore, the previous electromagnetic vortex was too huge. Although it was attenuating, it was still threatening.
This spiral-shaped vortex of debris is composed of a complete interstellar spacecraft. Its fragmentation is not composed of huge fragments as they have seen before. Of course, there are fragments, but it is mixed with a large number of partial wholes. , some are even a relatively complete part of the ship.
This opens up the possibility for further scanning and analysis.
Under Zhou Yun's control, the transport aircraft slowly drove into the wreckage. At this time, the electromagnetic vortex in its center that attenuated into an outline had completely disappeared.
Although the main purpose was to scan and analyze the remaining relatively complete instruments and equipment of the "Lodens", Zhou Yun still did not give up her efforts to search for the surviving crew members. Unfortunately, after nearly an hour of searching, , the life detector did not transmit the infrared signal that excited everyone.
All crew members of the "Lodens" were killed.
But there is also luck in the misfortune. The electromagnetic scanning device of the transport aircraft searched for a relatively complete wreckage of the command module of the "Lodens". The wreckage is about the size of a 10-story building, although it is less than one-fifth of the entire command module. However, the flight control platform and captain's podium are completely retained.
The two can provide more detailed flight parameters and electronic voyage logs of the "Lodens", and can restore to the greatest extent all data and images of the ship before and after it was attacked.
It can even solve the mystery of the attack on the voyage fleet.
Is it destruction? Or survive?
