Several bright lights flashed, and four more powerful particle flames were sprayed out from the four engine nozzles of the transport aircraft. The transport aircraft flew towards the depths of the starry sky like a bolt of lightning...
Zhou Yun turned on instant acceleration, which could increase the speed of the transport aircraft to its ultimate speed, which is 60% of the speed of light, in a very short period of time. However, this speed could not be maintained for a few seconds and nearly half of the energy would be consumed.
But she has no choice. The giant sphere is preparing to attack. Maybe in the next second, the transport aircraft she is on will become a pile of debris spinning around the electromagnetic vortex.
The instant acceleration played its due role. The transport aircraft increased the distance from the giant sphere in just 3 seconds. The distance between the two was expanded to about 12,000 kilometers, which was beyond the latter's attack range. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
But it had no intention of giving up and still followed closely.
When the instantaneous acceleration failed, the transport aircraft returned to its original flight speed. Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded throughout the flight control room, and the alarm came from the interstellar navigation screen.
Zhou Yun instinctively looked at the interstellar navigation screen and saw a vast asteroid belt appearing in the front star field about 15,000 kilometers away from the transport aircraft. Its shape was a perfect oval, with an inner diameter of 200,000 kilometers long. , seems to be slowly rotating around a certain massive star, or the star ring of the star.
"We can only rush over, the giant ball is still behind us!" Liu Hanyang reminded, and after speaking, he turned his eyes to the monitoring screen, anxiety and uneasiness flashed between his eyebrows.
Zhou Yun nodded, then adjusted the flight attitude of the transport aircraft and plunged into the vast asteroid belt.
Similar to the asteroid belt in the solar system, this asteroid belt is also composed of a large amount of ice material and small rocks. They are of different sizes and shapes, and are densely distributed over a wide area.
There are also sporadic larger-mass stars like Ceres. Most of them have diameters within 500-2000 kilometers, and they are considered giants among the many fragments.
Only when you are in it can you feel the shock and magnificence of the asteroid belt. Under the influence of a strong gravitational force, many stars move forward along an invisible arc. Occasionally, there will be violent collisions, but This does not affect their regular motion around a certain gravitational source.
An obstacle detection and early warning device is installed around the body of the transport aircraft. It will calculate parameters based on many factors such as the speed, size, trajectory of the obstacle, and the relative distance to the aircraft to form a complex avoidance program. When the program is in After being transmitted to the central control system for the first time, the system will respond within 0.00001 seconds.
If the number of obstacles is small and the quality is not enough to threaten the flight safety of the aircraft, the central control system will initiate an active avoidance program; conversely, if the number of obstacles is large and the quality is large, the central control system will activate the airborne defense system. Destroy the obstacles blocking your way.
There is also a situation where the above two are superimposed. The central control system will adopt a combination of avoidance and activation of the defense system to implement active and passive avoidance to ensure that the aircraft safely flies through the asteroid belt at high speed.
After traveling within the asteroid belt for about 3 minutes, according to the coordinates sent by the detection device, the giant sphere did not follow the transport aircraft into the asteroid belt, but stopped about 1,000 kilometers away.
The sudden situation made Liu Hanyang and Zhou Yun quite puzzled, but there was still a little bit of luck in the puzzle.
It stands to reason that although the stars in the asteroid belt are densely packed, the distance between the stars is still very large, enough to accommodate the huge body of the giant sphere. Apart from the risk of collision when flying at high speed, asteroids do not have any Substantial threat.
What was the reason that prompted Juxing Yuanqiu to give up the pursuit?
"Is it weird?" Liu Hanyang blurted out.
"Strange! But it's not important anymore." Zhou Yun slowed down the speed of the transport aircraft, and then continued, "If you have to get to the bottom of everything, you will have a headache."
"What if there's something even more troublesome waiting for us ahead?"
Her eyebrows suddenly tightened, and her eyes immediately looked at the interstellar navigation screen, except for the endless cluster of asteroids. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 465 Unknown source of gravity
Outside, there was deathly silence and darkness. Her eyes turned to the electromagnetic detection device, and there was nothing on it.
"Huh!" She took a long breath, and then made a disapproving gesture towards him: "It's unfounded."
"This asteroid belt is a perfect ellipse. It must be rotating around a certain star or gravitational source. In other words, it must be captured by the gravity of one of the two, and the electromagnetic detection device has detected nothing. You Do you think this is normal? Is it unfounded?"
Liu Hanyang's words made Zhou Yun's expression suddenly tighten. She once again cast her eyes on the electromagnetic detection device, but there was still nothing on it. Just when she was about to look back, a set of constantly beating numbers came into view.
The number is the value of gravity, which is constantly increasing. Although the electromagnetic detection device has not detected the existence of the source of gravity, what is it specifically? However, the gravitational influence it exerts on the transport aircraft is clearly shown through the increasing values.
"It's better that you be careful, Hanyang."
"Being more careful, I definitely can't be as good as you, it's just professionalism. First update @ "
He smiled and continued: "Generally speaking, there must be massive stars in front and behind the asteroid belt, but we did not find any stars during our journey, so there is only one possibility, that is Somewhere in front of us, there must be one or several stars, or a gravitational source with strong gravity."
After speaking, he looked at the electromagnetic detection device and murmured: "The strange thing is that the electromagnetic detection device didn't detect anything."
"Is it possible that it cannot be detected due to distance?"
"If the distance is too far, the gravitational value will not jump so obviously. Judging from the numerical value, our transport aircraft is affected by the gravitational influence of the star or gravitational source just like the stars in the asteroid belt."
She nodded thoughtfully, but soon her tightened eyebrows relaxed. She waved her hand and said in an indifferent tone: "Hanyang, I don't think there is any need to be so nervous, since we are here." There are several stars or a source of strong gravity ahead, and we can completely avoid them. Besides, except for black holes or pulsars, ordinary stars will not cause harm to our transport aircraft."
"Yun, if I told you that a star or gravitational source that actually exists is right in front of us, but we cannot detect it, would you still be so optimistic?"
His words made her face become serious in vain, and she instinctively looked at the vast asteroid ahead. Ahead, endless darkness swallowed everything, and at the end of the darkness was an unpredictable object waiting for them.
"Also, this object is any known star that we humans have never discovered. It is not a black hole that swallows everything, nor a pulsar that can destroy everything. But judging from the gravitational value, it is more impressive than the first two. People are unpredictable, and that’s what’s scary about it.”
His tone was urgent and low, and there was an uncontrollable tremor in his words, which made Zhou Yun beside him involuntarily nervous.
"What should we do, Hanyang, keep going?"
"We have no retreat. Behind us, the giant sphere is still waiting for us outside the asteroid belt, and ahead..."
He didn't finish his words, and there was a hesitant face under the gloomy expression.
The atmosphere in the flight control room was extremely cold and dead. The two of them looked serious, staring intently at the dark and deep starry sky outside the window. Outside the window, fleeting asteroids flashed past like meteors, rising and falling, and then falling. Left and right, just like their complicated moods, indecisive.
"Beep!" A clear sound broke the dead silence. The interstellar navigation device showed that in three minutes, the transport vehicle would fly out of the asteroid belt.
In 3 minutes, unpredictable danger may come.
"Hanyang, it's not too late to stop now!"
"Driving in the vast space, fear often occupies our hearts and forms a kind of inertial thinking, which will profoundly dominate our decisions and behaviors. However, the universe is full of challenges and uncertainties. Perhaps a breakthrough in this If we adopt inertial thinking, we will have a different result."
He paused for a moment, his eyes bright and decisive: "Although the results may be good or bad, or... (This chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 465 Unknown source of gravity
It may end up paying the price of life, but this is the mystery of the universe. We cannot restrain ourselves and hold back just because there are dangers ahead. "
"Then let's move forward bravely and leave the result to the universe and let it make the decision."
She stared at him affectionately, her bright eyes showing determination and confidence, including her deep love for him.
Soon, a bolt of lightning flew out from the dense and magnificent asteroid belt, and the transport aircraft appeared in the vast and deep interstellar space. A bright and strange nebula suddenly appeared in front of it.
The brilliance comes from its bright appearance and gorgeous light, which is strangely represented by the characteristics of streamers and the layout of a giant mirage-like city.
The two of them stared blankly at the huge nebula that suddenly appeared in front of them. It stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and the deep and dark starry sky was brightly illuminated by it. The characteristics of the streamer made the entire starry sky flicker, like a blurred sky. A dreamland.
In addition, its shape shows the layout and structure of a giant city. From a distance, you can still vaguely see its towering and huge buildings. They are connected together in patches, towering and majestic. .
"Didi..." A rapid siren sounded in the flight control room. The transport aircraft was captured by the nebula's gravity and fell rapidly towards it... _o_m
