Chapter 74 Cruelty
The star port commander nodded and gave instructions:
"Exclude the rescue ship to assist the Xunyang in its return. As for the "Eden"..."
The commander hesitated for a moment. His consciousness told him that this mining ship infected by an unknown alien creature might also be hiding some amazing secrets or conspiracies. He wanted to discuss it with the governor before making a decision. Its outcome, despite the fact that the star port commander controls a fleet of 46 warships and auxiliary function ships of various models and types in the Ganymede colony, in the execution of many issues, he has to compete with that person who is quite knowledgeable. The authority and prestige of the colonial governor were discussed. This was not a relationship based on position, but the respect and trust that almost everyone had for this old governor who had been in office for decades.
After all, most of them were from Xia State before, not like people from M Country or other capitalist countries, who advocated power and war and only thought about seeking power and usurping the throne or how to expand their own vested interests. Of course, These differences in consciousness are all a matter for later.
When everyone in the star port breathed a sigh of relief, near an asteroid belt at the edge of the solar system, a dense light suddenly appeared in the originally dark space, and the outline of a ship at that time could be vaguely seen. , after a few seconds, the light seemed to be forcibly "scattered", and a warship that looked very tragic and even somewhat dilapidated suddenly appeared, along with some parts that seemed to have fallen off from the hull, and there seemed to be some... There are some crew members, many of whom are wearing exoskeleton armor or other overseas chemical protective clothing. They are undoubtedly lucky at this moment.
Jump technology is developed on the basis of space folding. Compared with space jumping technology based on the wormhole effect, it requires much less energy. After all, space jumping requires the use of huge energy fields (such as gravity fields or Only with a strong magnetic field) can we create a "string" with huge energy, allowing objects within its range (spaceships, shuttles) to instantly enter a multidimensional space that is completely different from the three-dimensional space. Since there is no so-called "string" in a hyperspace jump, time, so it can carry out extremely high-speed interstellar navigation and achieve hyperspace jump navigation.
The jump based on space folding is simpler. Of course, this is relatively simple. For the current Blue Star civilization that has not touched the slightest threshold, this simplicity is just like n+1 and n, without any It is of practical use, but for the Interstellar Federation, space folding can bend space as long as it can reach a certain gravity. It is like walking from one end of a flat piece of paper to the other in addition to walking a straight line between two points. Just fold the paper and bring the two points closer together. The Xia Kingdom has gone very far in the field of gravitational waves. Whether it is weapons or civilian fields, other countries and camps have been far behind.
But after Xia Guo and the Pan-Asian camp led by him joined the Interstellar Federation for the survival of mankind, most of these technologies were handed over to the Federation. Of course, gravity weapons such as the Fuxi attack array deployed at Jupiter's three-star port The Xia Kingdom did not hand over the wave weapons. After all, previous wars have proved that human desires cannot be satisfied by the vastness of space. If such weapons are mastered by some people who advocate force to solve problems, I am afraid it will be another war for all mankind. The catastrophe was incompatible with Xia's own "sacrifice". At that time, Xia's strength had not been worn down by the war, and those who had any intentions did not have the guts to risk Xia's complete anger. To forcefully demand these technologies.
Don't dare to do anything. Now most main ships are equipped with space jump engines. After all, people's universe is bounded by the vacuum base state. If the aircraft can enter the world in the direction of the opposite vector, it will disappear from people's world. The speed of the subsequent aircraft is beyond the limit compared to us. After a certain period of time, the aircraft returns to our world. During this process, we have the illusion of folding and flying. In fact, the scale of the distance traveled by the aircraft has not changed. It’s just that the time spent on the same journey is less, and when the aircraft is in a negative energy world, the nature of the aircraft also becomes a negative energy body.
The principle of folding is actually not that difficult to understand. Suppose the entire space is a long carpet that can return to its original shape. Space folding means that if I want to walk from one end of this piece of cloth to the other, if the carpet is enough If I can't walk across it in a short time, I can use gravity to attract the other end of the carpet, and I can stand directly on that end of the carpet. Then as soon as the force dissipates, the cloth will automatically return to its original shape, thus Take me to that end of the carpet. But the farther the distance, the greater the strength required. If my strength is not strong enough to attract the other end of the carpet at once, I can attract half of the carpet and hold it in my hand. In this way, only one-half of the carpet is left. Using the same amount of force again, you can attract the other end of the carpet and achieve the same effect as at the beginning.
In short, at least in the solar system category, the Federation has the mature warping engine and technology provided by the Xia Kingdom. Its control power is still very powerful, but there are relative limitations. Basically, the Xia Kingdom, which has made great achievements in warping technology, also You can only increase the distance of the jump to the entire solar system, otherwise the probability of a ship being destroyed during the jump will suddenly change from 1% to more than 95%. Of course, those ships that are missing from the jump are not excluded, right? Arrived far beyond the limits of current human communication range, and even appeared in other universes? But these are still just conjectures.

"Where are we now?"
Enduring the discomfort in her head, the female bishop asked the adjutant beside her, but the adjutant had not received the "evolution" at the second-level bishop level, which was a transformation similar to genetic reconstruction, emergency jump plus Before the warp, the Ganymede Fuxi attack array launched a gravity wave weapon that changed the gravitational field of the warp. Therefore, not only was the set warp destination greatly offset, almost everyone or living things were affected. It had a great influence. Looking at the Unity Church believers on the side, the female bishop angrily rebuked:
"A bunch of trash!"
Then she walked down from the captain's podium and came to the console of the navigation unit. She modified some parameters to adjust the position of the battleship at this time. Although this female bishop was very cold-blooded and cruel towards people outside the blood seal and the religious order. , including those underground Unity cultists, but she still had certain professional abilities when she was appointed captain. When she looked at her current position, she couldn't help but pat the back of her neck with her hand.
"Damn it! Why is it so far away! There are too many variables in Ganymede. Since the Federation has not been able to completely capture it for so long, this uncontrollable hidden danger must be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid affecting the civilization of the Holy Seal."
She seemed to have seen the colony and its starport reduced to ashes under the power of the Holy Seal, but her fantasy could only be a fantasy at this time. She knew very well that she had to get the church to support her as soon as possible, otherwise she would rely on her The battleship currently commanded, not to mention the trouble of continuing to cross half of the solar system to find the Ganymede colony, even if it wants to reach the nearest church stronghold or other colonial planets, it is almost impossible.
Now the battleship has reached the edge of the body. Fortunately, after her inspection, the battleship's communication system can still operate normally. She then uses the church's exclusive signal band to transmit a wide-area distress signal, and the United Church is in the Federation The degree of penetration within the effective control range, or the degree of influence, has indeed reached a very alarming level. It didn't take long for a nearby mobile asteroid mining platform to receive its distress signal, and on this extremely large-scale mining platform, Almost all the leaders, including the mining manager, are believers of the Unity Church. In fact, several of them are senior members of the Unity Church.
In short, relying on the penetration of the Unity Church, this mining platform immediately eliminated many maintenance ships from going to the location where the distress signal was sent. Even though it was just a mining platform, its actual size even exceeded some of the Federation's Titan command ships, even " The "Zeus-class" Eden mining ship must be stacked together at least thirty ships to catch up with its size and volume. To be precise, it, like the "Eden", belongs to the "old golden age" The "heritage" left behind, due to its non-combat nature and important recycling value, whether it is a war provoked by the M country camp or a catastrophic battle caused by the "Trojan horse" AI losing control, this huge mining unit relies on its own The strategic value has survived.
Until now, she continues to shine for the Federation, acting as a "porter" of minerals and a mobile maintenance star port. Seeing that her distress signal was responded to so quickly, the female bishop was naturally very happy. When she learned that the distress signal was from a mining platform, she also had a vicious plan in her mind:
"If this mining platform is used as a weapon and crashes into the Ganymede colony, no matter what weapon or shield it is, it will not be able to stop the fate of human destruction!"
Her plan to throw away tens of millions of lives has refilled it with the desire for killing. In her opinion, if Ganymede dares to fight back, it must be eliminated. As for the consequences of abolishing this mining unit and the entire Ganymede colony , she did not and did not want to care about it. After all, the idea instilled in her by the cult was:
"No matter how great the casualties or costs, even if all the planetary colonies and remaining humans are involved, we must let the Holy Seal complete the civilization and normalization of humanity and the universe!"
