This incident quickly aroused Noli Ruoxi's vigilance.
Under his order, more intelligence forces were devoted to the analysis and observation of this matter.
Not only are all the spy satellites aiming their observation angles in that direction, but the newly developed spy satellites with eavesdropping capabilities are also beginning to risk themselves being discovered, destroyed or captured, getting as close to Sedna as possible and doing their best. Stealing the information carried in those radio waves.
As a lot of information arrived, the slightest tension between the wise men of the War Temple and Noli Ruoxi slowly dissipated.
"All evidence shows that human civilization is trying to develop into the inner solar system. This is not a bad thing for us, but a good thing."
Finally, Noli Ruoxi came to a conclusion.
"Because this means that the planet where human civilization is located must have fallen into, or is about to reach, a situation of resource exhaustion at this moment. This makes them have to risk crossing a distance of nearly tens of billions of kilometers in an attempt to obtain resources from the inner solar system. Resource supply. In this way, their development process will inevitably be affected, thus widening the gap with us."
And, this gap will only grow wider.
Faced with the seemingly desperate behavior of human civilization, people's vigilance has completely disappeared.
At this moment, Zhao Changxing had arrived at the space carrier in a "standard box". All accompanying personnel, materials, etc. have been arrived.
"lets go."
Zhao Changxing issued the order in a low voice.
"yes!"
As the order was issued, a huge amount of fuel was transferred into the combustion chamber, and then turned into hot gas, which was sprayed out from the main engine nozzle at the rear end of the space carrier's main shaft.
Zhao Changxing felt the space carrier's body tremble slightly, and then, Zhao Changxing, who was sitting on his seat, felt a force moving backwards.
This force is very similar to the so-called "push on the back" when riding in a car in the original Earth era. It's just that its size is much smaller, so you can only feel it slightly when you concentrate on feeling it. If you distract yourself for a moment, you won't notice it immediately.
There is no way, the space carrier is too big and the quality is too high. Even if it is running at full power at the moment, it is the engine with the highest thrust ever built in the history of the new mankind. The acceleration that can be given to the space carrier is too small.
It is for this reason that Zhao Changxing directly allocated a full five years to wait for the space carrier to rush to the battlefield from Sedna.
Looking at the constantly rotating starry sky outside the window, Zhao Changxing sighed slightly in his heart.
This time, the future is uncertain and life and death are uncertain.
In order to avoid possible deep space star exploration, the space carrier chose a parabolic orbit. It will bypass Sedna from the side and advance quietly in the cold deep space far away from the connection between the two planets, that is, far away from the best route between the two planets.
Two months after setting sail, Zhao Changxing stood in front of the porthole and saw the dim star in the sky.
That's Sedna. At this moment, all the compatriots who are still alive, except those here on the space carrier, are all living there.
There is its own civilization and its own homeland.
At this moment, the distance between the space carrier and it is the shortest moment in the entire voyage, and the distance is only about less than 2 million kilometers. But even though it was so close, it still looked so dim and small.
The space carrier has been accelerating and moving forward.
During this voyage, Zhao Changxing did not organize the soldiers to carry out practical military training. The reason is very simple. The fuel on the space carrier is limited and must be used sparingly and not wasted in training. In order to solve this problem, Zhao Changxing chose to let them train in a simulator.
The game "Star Wars", which has gone through dozens of iterations and improvements, has also been transplanted to the Space Carrier. The spacecraft operators wore masks all day long and fought in the virtual universe on multi-functional simulation chairs. The logistics staff held the model and conducted training on emergency repairs of the spacecraft and emergency treatment of personnel all day long.
In the boring and dull long-distance space voyage, only these methods can keep people in a state of war.
At this moment, the space carrier has been sailing for two years and has covered a distance of nearly 40 million kilometers. This is undoubtedly a long journey for people, but it is insignificant for the universe.
The starry sky seen from here is basically the same as the starry sky seen on Sedna. It's like people have just had a dream in the past two years, and they are still near the Sedna star and have never moved.
Only spatial positioning instruments can let people know how far they have traveled.
According to the plan, the space carrier will soon enter the deceleration stage. It will complete the rest of its journey during the deceleration phase, and finally "park" in an orbit not far from the deep space star, outside the orbit of the deep space star, and orbiting the sun together to match the orbit of the star. Dana Star and Deep Sky Star orbit the sun together at about the same speed.
At this moment, the attitude adjustment engine has started. They have begun to push the space carrier, which has lost a lot of weight after a long voyage and consumed a lot of fuel, to gradually change its direction. Its main engines were pointed away from the sun and began to slow down the still large and cumbersome spacecraft.
The gas emitted by the engine is extremely bright and hot and can be easily detected from a long distance away. But people are not worried that this will alert people in deep space. Because its directivity is also extremely high, just like a laser.
Unless the distance is very close, if it is not directly facing it, its existence will not be noticed at all.
Time passed quietly in this situation. On a late night that seemed no different from the past, Zhao Changxing was suddenly awakened by a rapid alarm ringing.
He subconsciously got up, grabbed his coat and rushed out.
The soldier on duty tonight immediately reported nervously to Zhao Changxinghui: "Leader, the shipboard radar has detected an object approaching us at high speed. Judging from the detection data, it is most likely not a natural star, but a man-made object. object!"
The man-made objects that can be encountered here are either spacecraft or spy satellites. At the same time, it can only be a creation of deep space civilization, not human civilization.
As the leader of human civilization, Zhao Changxing knew very well that he had no plans to launch a spacecraft or satellite here.
A thought flashed subconsciously in Zhao Changxing's mind: "We have been discovered!"
After Zhao Changxing, the war committee members who also rushed over immediately thought of this possibility, and their expressions immediately became ugly.
How could it be such a coincidence? You must know that the route taken by the space carrier is a special route, which basically avoids the common routes between the two planets. I chose it in the first place because I hoped to avoid the occasional encounters with enemy creations.
So, if deep space civilizations had not discovered their own traces, how could their creations happen to choose this route?
Or, its mission is to search and confirm its own coordinates along this waterway to prepare for subsequent missions?
But none of this actually matters. Because the most fundamental basis of the sneak attack of this space expedition lies in the word "sneak attack". No matter what subsequent arrangements the other party has, as long as the other party discovers its intentions and as long as the sneak attack turns into an open attack, then even if the people's combat power increases tenfold, it is impossible to win this expedition.
After all, there are still more than two years before reaching the battlefield and launching an attack. Such a long time is enough for the deep space civilization to seize the time and arrange the planet's defense system to a fairly complete level! If this happens, then it would be better for people like me to deliver food instead of making a sneak attack.
However, at this moment, people are already riding a tiger and are unable to even cancel this sneak attack! Because the space carrier's fuel is effective, it can only decelerate into orbit, but cannot accelerate back to Sedna in reverse!
Although his heart was heavy, Zhao Changxing still reacted subconsciously.
"Radio silence! Shut down all engines and enter coasting mode! Turn off all exterior lights!"
"yes!"
The situation is urgent and no one dares to neglect it. Immediately, the main engine, which was spraying hot and bright gas, stopped roaring. All unnecessary radio communications cease immediately. All possible leaking lights are turned off at the same time.
At this moment, this huge space carrier is like an ordinary interstellar meteorite. If you are a little further away, you won't be able to detect its existence at all.
After making these arrangements, Zhao Changxing had time to check more detailed information about the man-made object.
"Relative speed 5.6 kilometers per second, heading, size..."
This appears to be a manned spacecraft. It is also in coasting mode. In particular, its orbit almost coincides with the space carrier. If both sides maintain their current course and speed, in about an hour they will pass each other at a distance of just over a thousand kilometers.
However, judging by current technology, the radar scanning range of a manned spacecraft of this size and mass is about 3,000 kilometers. That is to say, once the distance between it and the space carrier is shortened to less than 3,000 kilometers, it is possible to discover the existence of the space carrier!
To be more prudent, it would be more appropriate to set this distance at 5,000 kilometers.
Now how to do?
Everyone who knew the news cast their gaze on Zhao Changxing.
Zhao Changxing closed his eyes and took a long breath.
