In the dark and endless starry sky, a transport aircraft shuttled through it like a stream of light. Wherever it passed, four controllable nuclear fusion engines ejected four long plasma streams, which were stretching and spectacular.
Zhou Yun is piloting the transport aircraft, and the only passengers are Xiao Hang and a scientific researcher. They will go to the Wolf 359 star system to search for traces of the voyage fleet.
The journey ahead is full of uncertainty.
Suddenly, a rapid siren sounded through the flight control room, and the room turned scarlet with alternating light and dark. Amidst the harsh siren, the central control system sent detection information.
It turned out that one of the engines of the transport aircraft was overheating and had to be shut down immediately, otherwise it would easily cause an explosion.
What's worse is that Zhou Yun tried remote shutdown several times, but nothing happened.
The current situation is that in the case of automatic shutdown and locking, you must enter the engine control room for manual shutdown, but to enter it, you must pass through the area where the anti-gravity device of the transport aircraft is located, even if the anti-gravity device is completely stopped. The environment is also filled with excessive amounts of electromagnetic radiation, making it impossible to enter without the help of special equipment.
But what is lacking is equipment that can shield this ultra-strong magnetic field radiation.
At a critical moment, the researcher came up with a more feasible method, but it was still dangerous.
Since Zhou Yun has a certain understanding of the structure of aircraft, she is naturally the best candidate to eliminate this danger.
The researchers first asked Zhou Yun to remotely shut down the other three engines and start the reverse thrust device, and then let the central control system take over the spacecraft.
After the speed of the transport aircraft was greatly reduced, with the help of Xiao Hang, he climbed to the top of the aircraft, followed the surface of the aircraft body from above and bypassed the area where the anti-gravity device was located, and finally entered the engine control room through the weapons bay.
Although it passes above the area where the anti-gravity device is located, and there is an electromagnetic shielding layer on the surface of the body, the device still radiates electromagnetic radiation that exceeds the limit of the human body. However, the amount of radiation is much smaller than the area where the device is located.
Before the action, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang both put on an electromagnetic shielding suit and a spacesuit. Xiao Hang grabbed the rope and slowly lowered her into the weapons bay, and then successfully entered the engine control room. The task of shutting down the faulty engine was successfully completed.
The transport aircraft flew like lightning in the deep starry sky again. Zhou Yun sat on the chair in the flight control room and let out a long breath.
She felt like her body was falling apart without any strength. On the other hand, Xiao Hang had already taken off his electromagnetic shielding suit and spacesuit, and was looking at the dark and boundless starry sky with interest...
Suddenly, another burst of rapid sirens rang through the flight control room. The electromagnetic detection device discovered an electromagnetic signal emitted by an unidentified aircraft. Further detection revealed that there was a spacecraft floating in the front star field about 10,000 kilometers away from the transport aircraft. aircraft.
It has long since lost its power and is floating alone in the starry sky. According to the analysis of its electromagnetic characteristics, it is almost completely consistent with many characteristics of human carrier-based space vehicles.
As the signal became stronger and stronger, Zhou Yun finally saw its appearance from the electromagnetic detection device. A big hole was hit on the left side of its fuselage. After analyzing the big hole, she learned that the fuselage should have been hit by a round table-sized bullet. A hole caused by the impact of a stray meteorite.
"It's strange that such a big meteorite only hit a hole in it." Zhou Yun shook her head.
At this time, she noticed that she had forgotten to take off her astronaut helmet.
She took off her space helmet and shook her head, her beautiful hair flowing like waves.
"What's weird? Maybe the speed of this aircraft is not high." Xiao Hang said disapprovingly.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at the space vehicle on the big screen, shouting: "Look, the number!"
Zhou Yun looked like an arrow in the direction pointed by Xiao Hang. Sure enough, the more complete fuselage on the other side was clearly marked with the number L167.
"L167..." Zhou Yun murmured, her face becoming serious.
"Found it." Xiao Hang said
, activated the holographic screen button beside him, and as several strands of blue light were projected into the air, the huge body of an interstellar spacecraft came into Zhou Yun's eyes.
"L167 is a carrier-based space vehicle belonging to the starship Powerful!" he added.
Zhou Yun nodded thoughtfully, her joy mixed with shock. She could not imagine that she would encounter a ship-based space vehicle belonging to the "Qiang" in this vast interstellar space.
"Wherever the powerful ship-borne space vehicle appears, the powerful may be nearby." She said happily.
"But it's been gone for a long, long time," he added.
The "Powerful" is the same type of interstellar spacecraft as the second-generation "Gravity" class spacecraft built by mankind. After the fierce battle with the Tiberian fleet in the solar system, with the tacit approval of the Crisis Plan, the spacecraft, including the spacecraft, was parked on Jupiter. 24 starships in orbit secretly escaped to the Kuiper Belt together.
The purpose of the 24 starships is not so much to escape, but to temporarily avoid the edge of the Tiberian fleet. The purpose is to retain the fire and hope for the rise of the human interstellar fleet.
Since then, these 24 interstellar spacecraft have become a lonely fleet drifting outside the solar system. Under the leadership of the new fleet commander Fang Junhuang, they continue to march towards deep space. Their purpose is to find a suitable planet for human survival outside the solar system. Habitable planet.
In a sense, they are the forerunners of the "Mission Exploration" plan that humans later launched.
Unfortunately, the fleet was invaded by the zombie virus. However, before the virus invaded, in order to increase the chance of exploring a habitable planet, Fang Junhuang decided to send the "Powerful" and "Xingmang" to Nanmen 2.B to continue the exploration. , the main fleet headed for the Wolf 359 star system.
Afterwards, the main fleet led by Fang Juanhuang was attacked by a zombie virus residing in the wandering galaxy, while the "Powerful" and "Starlight" were attacked by a team of Tiberians executing the "Cosmic Vanguard" plan. Starfleet Attack.
After a fierce battle, the "Starlight" was destroyed, but the "Powerful" was missing.
The destroyed "Xingmang" happened to encounter Li Sujia and Mecha 9 who were passing through here on their way to Proxima Centauri. They boarded the ship and tried to rescue the attacked crew, but did not find a single survivor. After being attacked by a snake-shaped machine and After the siege of the photoelectric ring, he escaped with difficulty.
Mecha No. 9 also almost died in this siege.
Zhou Yun did not hesitate. She immediately accelerated towards the space vehicle numbered L167. At the same time, Xiao Hang opened the quantum encryption channel and tried to contact the survivors on the aircraft. However, until the transport aircraft approached the target, there was still no contact with them. superior.
An ominous omen hung over the two of them.
At close range, L167 was completely displayed in front of Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang. The results detected by the previous electromagnetic detection device were the same. The aircraft was hit by a stray meteorite the size of a round table. It was almost along one side of the aircraft body. It swept sideways, causing one side of L167 to be completely changed.
Just as Zhou Yun was about to release the shuttle to find out what was going on, she was shocked to find that a fleet of space aircraft suddenly appeared in a circular formation around the transport aircraft. They were encircling them from above and below, with a visual inspection of more than 100 people. The transport aircraft she was on was almost completely surrounded by water.
These more than 100 space vehicles should have been ambushing here for a long time, waiting for Zhou Yun and the others to enter them. It seems that they have been premeditated.
Only then did Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang suddenly realize that they had been ambushed.
The spacecraft that was hit was a decoy. However, when the two looked at the surrounding spacecrafts, they questioned their judgment. They saw that the numbers on these fuselages all started with L. .
In other words, all space vehicles participating in the encirclement belong to the "Powerful" starship.
It belongs to humans.
That being the case, why did they set a trap to trap a transport aircraft that also belonged to humans?
Unless all carrier-based space vehicles, including the "Powerful", have changed owners and been captured by another unknown civilization.
Thinking of this,
Zhou Yun couldn't help but become nervous, Xiao Hang also had a solemn look on his face, and their hands secretly pressed the weapon launch button.
This is an instinctive reaction. For a transport aircraft equipped with only a small number of self-defense weapons, let alone fighting a group of space aircraft, even if it fights any one of them, it will be completely beaten in an instant.
The two are not at the same level in terms of weapon configuration.
At this time, Zhou Yun noticed a huge figure appearing on the interstellar navigation screen. As it gradually approached, its shape gradually emerged.
The starship Mighty has arrived.
It was parked about 100 kilometers in front of Zhou Yun's transport aircraft. Even at this distance, you could still feel the pressure brought by its huge body.
It is like a towering fortress standing in interstellar space, and the transport aircraft is like a small moth in front of it, small and insignificant.
This is the long-lost starship Mighty.
It appeared again without warning.
Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang concluded that the "Powerful" was most likely captured by another unknown civilization nearby. Compared with the ship, they were more worried about the tens of thousands of crew members on the ship, whose lives and deaths were uncertain.
"Earthlings on the transport aircraft, turn on all navigation lights and turn off all weapon systems." A thick voice suddenly sounded in the flight control room, and the voice was in the language of Earth.
Zhou Yun glanced at Xiao Hang, who spread his hands helplessly. Obviously, with absolute strength, resistance had lost its meaning.
Zhou Yun turned on all the navigation lights, and they were like dancing firelights, outlining the outline of the transport aircraft.
Xiao Hang turned off all weapon systems, put his hands on his chest, and stared helplessly at the behemoth outside the porthole.
"Open the hatch of the transport aircraft." The voice said again.
After the hatch was opened, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang noticed that more than 20 shuttles flew out of different space vehicles, and they were like fiery snakes burrowing into the transport aircraft.
Soon, a burst of heavy and chaotic footsteps approached the flight control room. According to the other party's request, Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang stood up from the flight seats, facing the cabin door straight with their hands raised.
The moment the intruder entered the hatch, Zhou Yun was stunned. She almost didn't believe her eyes or everything that appeared in front of her.
I saw Li Sujia striding into the hatch with two nested mechas and a small team composed of humans and lion-like lions.
Zhou Yun recognized these lion-like lion-men. They came from the Gaitan star 3,000 light-years away. She had been teleported there by the Darkbody people. To be precise, her consciousness was teleported to a planet built by the Darkbody people. In the virtual programming world.
There, Gaitan, which had been destroyed by the Tiberians, was rebuilt.
Of course, it's just a string of program code.
Zhou Yun still clearly remembers the various monsters and dangers she encountered in that dangerous virtual program world...
It’s still fresh in my memory.
There, she met Geza and Tia and successfully brought them back to the real world.
After a brief recollection, Zhou Yun turned her gaze to Li Sujia and saw that her face was cold and her eyes were indifferent. She did not react at all when her eyes touched her, as if she did not recognize him.
She noticed that there were two nested mechas next to Li Sujia, one numbered XM1367 and the other numbered XM672.
These two mechas are both the consciousness vehicles of Mecha No. 9. Mecha XM1367 has its personality, skills and knowledge reserves, while Mecha XM672 only has part of its memory, that is, the memory of love for Li Sujia.
