The dim stars exude a quiet brilliance.
In the galaxy, a huge asteroid belt surrounds the star.
And between the stars and the asteroid belt, an incredible giant structure stands in the starry sky.
It has a triangular appearance and an altitude of more than 15,000 kilometers. It is not difficult to see that it is in an unactivated state. With such a huge body and mass, it is surrounded by a few asteroid fragments.
This is one of the ultimate weapon types, the Colossus-class battleship!
"The energy supply is over. Regarding the 14th jump test, we are ready to start."
In the star base near the Colossus, scientific researchers are confirming the test process.
Against the backdrop of such a huge ship, the rather small star base is like an ant under the feet of an elephant.
"OK, it's confirmed to start the jump engine test. The target galaxy is being determined..." In the communication, the researchers on the other end quickly replied and informed that the test had officially begun.
The communication went quiet.
In the star base of the galaxy where the Colossus is located, several researchers are predicting the results of this experiment.
"I don't know if I can succeed this time."
A young scientific researcher looked at the projected giant image and felt a little uneasy.
The jumping experiment has been carried out for more than a year, and not many results have been achieved.
"It is really difficult to develop jump technology. This is only the pre-production technology of Colossus. It's hard to overcome." A young scientist lamented.
The older scientist who had been staring at the data shook his head: "Don't think so much. Since His Majesty is willing to invest resources, he is naturally optimistic about this project. Besides, there are no large-scale projects in the empire now, so cherish this opportunity for experimentation." Bar."
The young researchers present nodded.
Indeed, tens of millions of energy coins were spent on just the initial construction of the Colossus.
The energy coins spent for each jump test are at least one million units.
Since the Empire established the Academy of Sciences, there has never been such a huge investment.
"Okay, everyone, get ready, don't miss any data, otherwise go and see the gate."
As the experiment progressed, the older researchers gave instructions, and the remaining young scientists immediately cheered up and focused on analyzing the data on the projected screen.
At the same time, unlike the quiet galaxy where the Colossus is located, the galaxy on the other side is much noisier.
Under the same dim stars, hundreds of ships were scattered around the galaxy.
At this time, the scientific research ships that were originally connected separated one after another and headed towards the outer reaches of the galaxy.
"Evacuate quickly! The window period on the same channel is only twenty minutes!"
The communication channel of the retreating scientific research ship rang out the shouts of the person in charge. Anyone who had evacuated to a safe location immediately replied: "I have evacuated the test area..."
After a series of replies, the star map showed that all scientific research ships had evacuated safely.
"OK, the jump test is officially started, the countdown begins, 10, 9, 8..."
As the person in charge issued the activation command, the preset commands on the hundreds of ships were activated.
Soon, fierce flash storms enveloped all the ships, which was basically the same as crossing the star gate.
On the data monitoring chart, the indicators about the ships kept jumping, and a large number of ships even dropped from the normal green value to deep red in an instant.
Correspondingly, the ship suddenly exploded in space, and due to the influence of the space storm, not even a trace of ashes remained.
"Unmanned test jump ship No. 113 lost control!"
"The unmanned experimental jump ship No. 66 was overloaded with energy and died in explosion!"
"No. 008 unmanned experimental jump ship has lost coordinate information and lost contact!"
"The unmanned test jump ship No. 99 has been destroyed!"
…
A series of test results were reported in front of the person in charge, and he stared at the stars.
The ship data on the map is displayed without batting an eyelid.
Hundreds of ships were used for experiments, but half of them were lost in just ten seconds, which is simply heartbreaking.
You know, each jump test ship costs hundreds of thousands of energy coins. The results of experiments like fireworks are frightening no matter how many times they are conducted.
Five minutes later, the experiment ended and the subordinates began to report the situation to the person in charge.
"All jump test unmanned ships have been activated. 33 ships were destroyed, 41 ships lost control, 22 ships lost contact after entering space, and 1 ship successfully connected to the Colossus jump system..."
Jumping technology is one of the front-end technologies of the Colossus project.
It uses the Colossus itself as an anchor point, then uses huge energy to tear open a space of reality, and launches an induced position, which allows ships in another galaxy to jump directly to the relevant location.
At first, everyone was pleasantly surprised when scientists discovered data related to jumping technology after completing the infrastructure of the Colossus.
There is no need for hyperspace channels or star gates. The ship can directly jump and appear in distant stars.
What a shocking technology this is!
However, as the research on jumping technology unfolded, everyone really discovered that no wonder Colossus is the so-called ultimate technology, which is extremely difficult to test and consumes extremely high resources.
It can be said that the research and development of Colossus is basically the same as studying the laws of the universe.
After listening to the report from his subordinates and looking at the red mark on the ship inspection chart, the person in charge of the jump test sighed helplessly: "I announce that the result of the fourteenth jump test is..."
Just when the person in charge was about to declare the experiment a failure, a warning sound suddenly sounded on the star map, followed by an emergency communication from the department in the galaxy where the Colossus was located.
"Beep...report! Something happened to the Colossus. Ten seconds after the test ended, it disappeared!"
"What!?"
The person in charge stood up instantly and questioned in disbelief.
The Colossus cost a lot of money to build, and if it suddenly disappeared like this, I'm afraid all the staff would have to be laid off!
At this time, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the star map image of this galaxy, and a shocking space fluctuation swept across the entire galaxy, making all ships seem to have crossed the galaxy, and most electronic equipment was greatly disturbed. , and also made the lighting system of the star base flicker.
After the shock, the researchers stood firm again and saw an incredible scene.
In this jump test, the experimental ship used for the jump did not jump to the coordinates of the Colossus. Instead, the Colossus jumped to this galaxy.
All the scientific researchers, including the person in charge, looked outside the base with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape.
The huge unfinished colossus just appeared in the corner of the galaxy, and a large amount of interstellar dust slowly flowed there due to gravity.
"It's incredible. Not only can it launch a inducing stance, but it can also cross the stars..." the person in charge muttered to himself.
The technology of the ultimate series once again exceeds human imagination!
