An atmosphere of silence filled the two small aircraft, and the silence revealed panic and despair.
Everyone understood that they had fallen into a desperate situation. What was more frightening than the desperate situation was that they had no way to go, and they even lost the qualification to have no way to go.
The energy of the two small aircrafts has long been exhausted.
The energy provided by the energy pools of the two mechas is not enough to allow the two small aircraft to fly out of Wolf 359. They will either become two satellites of one of the planets and be trapped here forever, or they will crash into the star and become it. A negligible amount of fuel.
What's even more serious is that the remaining energy also supplies the life support systems of the two small aircraft. Once the energy is exhausted, all their lives will end within minutes.
"We still have 95 hours, to be exact, 95 hours, 32 minutes and 7 seconds, no, 03 seconds." Zhou Yun said. She glanced at the aircraft's environmental monitor and sighed, "It's time to make a decision."
The two aircraft fell into silence for an instant. Everyone's eyes were focused on the environmental monitors, and a moment later they turned to the two planets with a sky of ice and fire.
"Rutan 726-6! It is only 1 light-year away from here, and the voyage fleet will definitely be there! Maybe..." Xiao Hang said, his excitement slowly subsided.
He let out a long sigh and turned to look at the dark starry sky.
"Go home." Liu Hanyang broke the silence.
Disdain and ridicule sounded in the two small aircraft. Although the sound was short and rapid, it was enough to express the desperate and complicated mood of everyone.
"Aren't you being arrogant? You can't even go to Lutan 726-6, and it's even impossible to fly out of this galaxy. Why are you talking about going home?" Xiao Hang laughed.
"I'm serious about going home!" Liu Hanyang said seriously. After speaking, he turned to look in the direction of the earth. "Since the implementation of the mission exploration plan, we have never talked about going home. It seems that we have forgotten the existence of home. , but it will always be engraved in our minds.”
After taking a deep breath, he continued: "Now, we are desperate. Only going home can comfort our lost souls. In the vast universe, our home on earth will always be the final destination, even if we die on the way home."
Everyone's defenses were broken in an instant. Li Sujia and Zhou Yun covered their faces and cried, with helplessness and sadness in their cries. Xiao Hang stared quietly at the direction of the earth with red eyes...
"With the remaining energy, we can't fly very far. I want to fly farther and get closer to the earth." Li Sujia said with a smile, her laughter calm and determined.
"you think..."
"Yes!" Li Sujia interrupted Zhou Yun, glanced at Wolf 359B, and continued confidently, "It can help us realize it."
The atmosphere of loss and despair disappeared from the two aircraft, replaced by a feeling of sadness accumulated like a volcano...
The moment the two aircraft started up was the beginning of tragedy.
This is a tragic journey that begins a journey home but never reaches it.
Two streaks of fire shot out from the tails of the two aircraft, and they rushed toward Wolf 359B like two fleeting flashes of lightning...
According to Li Sujia's strategy, the two small aircraft will use the gravitational field of Wolf 359B to accelerate the first two, and then throw them farther into deep space to achieve the gravitational slingshot effect.
In this way, as long as the entry points of the two small aircraft and the planet Wolf 359B are calculated, the first two will obtain greater kinetic energy and acceleration and fly farther distances without the use of a propulsion system to achieve the greatest possible Strategies to approach the Earth.
Before using the gravitational field of Wolf 359B to achieve acceleration, the two small aircraft need to face the high-speed Wolf 359B and accelerate to the maximum speed, thereby achieving speed superposition to obtain greater kinetic energy and acceleration.
This can be vividly compared to two pinballs flying at high speed crashing into an oncoming mountain. The moment the two pinballs are bounced, they gain maximum kinetic energy and acceleration, pushing the two pinballs away at high speed. Mountain.
Three minutes later, the two small aircraft accelerated to their ultimate speed. Just before the gravitational slingshot effect was realized, a buzzing alarm sounded inside the aircraft.
Two small craft were locked by force.
The sudden situation surprised and shocked everyone. After inspection, they learned that four space vehicles suddenly appeared from the dense clouds rolling like an ocean on the planet Wolf 359B, and swooped towards them menacingly. Come...
The surprised and suffocating breath only lasted for 3 seconds. The two small aircraft were bounced away by the huge gravitational field of the planet Wolf 359B like two pinballs. The superposition of the two speeds caused the first two to obtain With greater kinetic energy and acceleration, they flew into deep space like two meteors...
Unexpectedly, the gravitational slingshot effect allowed the two small aircraft to successfully throw away the four pursuing space vehicles, and the alarm was lifted.
Fortunately, the Taibo aliens' small aircrafts have overload cancellers, which can offset overloads that exceed the limits of the human body during acceleration and prevent everyone from fainting.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, but in their hearts they were speculating about the four space vehicles that had just appeared...
Everyone was thinking invariably: How could they appear in the dense clouds of the planet Wolf 359B?
An enemy? Is it a friend?
Space vehicles are mankind's main star-sky melee weapon platform. If those four aircraft belong to humans, how can they lock them with force?
If not, who do they belong to?
"The one who can lock us down with force must be the enemy, either the Taibo people or some unknown civilization." Xiao Hang said first.
"You mean those four human space vehicles were captured by the Tiberians or a certain civilization?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Of course! Why would you try to attack us?"
"Attack! Wait..." Li Sujia waved her hand with a thoughtful expression. After a moment, she said, "Don't you think about the good things? Those four space vehicles are our own!"
"One of our own?" Everyone asked in surprise.
"Think about the small aircraft we fly in?"
Li Sujia's reminder made everyone suddenly realize, and finally realized the reason for the attack: the aircraft they were riding was a shuttle of the Taibo people.
Both the body shape characteristics and the electromagnetic radiation signals have a distinct Tiberian style, which has long been marked in the Identification Friend or Foe system.
"Didi..." Another rapid beep sounded from the two small aircraft...
"No, those four space vehicles are catching up, and we are locked again!" Xiao Hang said loudly.
On the onboard navigation screen, you can clearly see the four space vehicles divided into two teams and flying towards the two small aircraft they were on at high speed...
"They are definitely enemies!" Xiao Hang glanced at Li Sujia and said angrily, "At this distance, the infrared signal characteristics of all of us will definitely appear on their detection screen, let alone determine which race we are? If they have The information of each of us can even be distinguished one by one!"
Li Sujia avoided Xiao Hang's aggressive eyes, smiled lightly, and chose silence.
She didn't understand why his reaction was so big?
In such a situation, even if the visitor is really an enemy, once the gravitational slingshot effect ends, what difference does it make whether he is trapped in deep space or shot down?
"Stop fussing. If you're a man, just start fighting, right? I don't want to be a prisoner!" Zhou Yun said, "Wow!" and grabbed the electromagnetic pulse gun.
Li Sujia only felt a tragic atmosphere enveloped the two aircrafts. Although they were in different aircrafts, they could still feel Zhou Yun's sadness as if she was dead, through the holographic communication screen.
Even if each of them is equipped with 10 electromagnetic pulse guns, facing the absolute force of the four space vehicles, they will be as weak as a worm shaking a tree.
"Before we die in battle, there is one more important thing to do, so that our death will be worthwhile."
After Li Sujia finished speaking, she quickly drafted a text message and sent it to the vast interstellar space as quickly as possible.
She used Morse code in written form. The content of the code: An unknown civilization was discovered in the Wolf 359 star system. The degree of civilization is unknown. It is stationed in the atmosphere of the gas giant planet in this system. Please invite the expedition fleet or humans passing through here. Starfleet, take precautions.
Everyone looked at Li Sujia with admiration. Her behavior was awe-inspiring, and despite being in a desperate situation, she did not forget to pass valuable information to the human interstellar fleet.
Wise and tough.
"The enemy hasn't launched an attack for a long time. It seems that they want to capture us alive and don't want to be prisoners and prepare to fight!" She said and also picked up the laser gun.
The exciting atmosphere in the two aircraft was instantly ignited, and everyone was ready to fight to the death. They were unwilling to be prisoners in front of this unknown civilization.
Since the enemy can use human space vehicles, it is enough to prove that they have a soft spot for human technology.
Once captured by them, the enemy will definitely find ways to obtain scientific and technological information from them that is not beneficial to mankind.
If the visitors were Tiberians, they would have no reason to surrender in the face of their old enemy. Fighting to the last moment would be the most powerful counterattack against the invaders.
Two teams of four space vehicles appeared one after another around the two small aircraft until they forced the latter to stop completely. Everyone held their guns tightly to welcome the last moment.
Suddenly, the buzzer of the force lock stopped, and then, the hatches of two of the space vehicles were slowly opened, and the two shuttles flew directly towards the small aircraft where everyone was.
Before everyone understood what was going on, they heard a loud voice in the cabin: We are affiliated with the star battleship "Taimiao", the flagship of the expedition fleet, and have completely discovered the identities of the four of you. We are now under the command of Fleet Commander Si Nate has ordered us to come to meet you.
