interstellar involution king

Chapter 26

'Om~~~~~'

The engine continuously ejected a high-speed proton stream backwards, and when the jet passed through the second-hand frictionless nozzle, it triggered a slight tremor, which also drove the entire hull, causing an uncontrollable low-frequency tremor.

At first in the barren star's atmosphere, the movement was concealed by the wind noise, and it was not obvious, but in the silent space, it seemed a bit harsh.

But fortunately, the situation has not deteriorated. A little noise, after listening to it for a long time, I will get used to it.

The orbit is calculated, the attitude of the spacecraft is adjusted, the cargo compartment is in the front, the main control module is pushed in the back, and the engine starts to gradually increase the power.

The spacecraft began to accelerate little by little, and its orbit changed from a perfect circle to an eccentric ellipse, in order to get rid of the gravitational constraints of the barren star.

"Buzzing~~~"

The trembling sound of the spaceship also gradually increased.

Zheng Wan was a little worried: "Will there be any problems?"

Lin Yuan half-lyed on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated: "It's okay. Now it's the engine running-in period, and it will ease after driving for a few days."

The noise is caused by the birth defect of Hope, which can only be alleviated, but cannot be completely avoided.

But this does not affect the flight safety. Lin Yuan has long established a physical model of the engine in his mind, and let Hope fly for [-] hours at the highest output power. All the current situations are within his expectations.

Emotions are contagious, seeing Lin Yuan so calm, Zheng Wan felt at ease.

She followed the established track, focused on accelerating, and made every detail as perfect as possible to save propellant to the greatest extent.

Flying in space has no brakes.After turning off the engine, the spaceship will not automatically stop, but will keep flying at its original speed until it is old, or until it hits some unlucky person.

Every change in the state of motion requires the consumption of propellant.Naturally, propellants are particularly valuable.

Lin Yuan observed carefully for a while in the co-pilot position, and then he was completely relieved.

Ten years of scavenging career has indeed allowed Zheng Wan to hone her extraordinary psychological qualities. Her hands are very steady without any unnecessary movements. With her in the spaceship, Lin Yuan is very relieved.

The journey is long, and according to the plan, they will take turns to fly the spaceship.Of course, because of the difference in physical energy, Zheng Wan will have a lot more driving time.

"I'll sleep for a while, and call me if there is any situation. By the way, kitty, don't forget the homework uncle left for you, especially strength training. You can't save it at all, otherwise it will affect your physical development."

"Got it, Uncle Lin."

Lin Yuan felt relieved, yawned, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but Zheng Wan's voice came from my ear: "Lin Yuan, wake up, there is something wrong."

Lin Yuan shook his mind and opened his eyes.

Looking at the time, he slept for about 6 hours.

Subconsciously check the status of the spacecraft.

Hope is already running on the transfer orbit, because of the gravitational boost from the blue fat man, the current speed of the spacecraft is ridiculously high, reaching an ultra-high speed of 225KM per second.

A second glance at the propellant showed a balance of 61%, matching the precalculated consumption.

The spacecraft engine is turned off and is currently coasting.

It seems that everything is normal.

Seeing that he was awake, Zheng Wan pointed to the message bar on the main control screen: "Look."

There is a dazzling red message on the information bar: 'Help!help!I am the passenger spaceship 'Byron', being hunted down by the star thief 'Snake Eye'.My ship is badly damaged.If there are past spaceships who come to support, they will be rewarded with 20 star crystals! '

The message was sent 5 minutes ago.

The detailed coordinates and velocity vector of the Byron spacecraft are attached at the end of the message.

20, which is equivalent to the sum of Lin Yuan's salary for 40 years on the Wandering Poet. It is a huge sum of money, quite attractive.

The only pity is that the distance is a bit far.

Zheng Wan looked regretful: "The displayed distance is 2 light seconds, which is too far away."

2 light seconds is a distance of 60 kilometers.At their speed, even if they turned immediately and rushed straight, it would take 45 minutes to arrive.

Regardless of whether Byron can last for 45 minutes, the extra trip will greatly consume the propellant stored by the Hope spacecraft.At that time, if the person is not rescued and puts himself in, that would be terrible.

So the 20 star crystals can only be viewed, but not obtained.

Not only can't take it, but you have to leave the conflict star field as soon as possible, so as not to get into trouble.

This is not cold-blooded, but rational.

In the interstellar era, a cavity of blood is useless.The cold law of the universe will teach you to be a new person on the spot, or simply let you reincarnate directly.

Lin Yuan asked, "Is the radio silent?"

Zheng Wan nodded: "It's silent, and the engine is off. They probably didn't notice our existence."

Lin Yuan was relieved: "That's good, continue to slide according to the established track. We are very fast now, and we should be able to rush through this area very quickly."

He turned his head to look behind him and found that the kitten was not there, so he asked, "Is the little girl going to sleep?"

"Well, I'm asleep. She has done ten sets of strength training, and she is so tired that she can't lift her hands."

When mentioning the kitten, Zheng Wan's face became softer and her voice became softer.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He felt his body and felt weak all over. Knowing that it was muscular atrophy caused by weightlessness, he got up and floated to the rear of the cockpit. After fixing his body, he began to step on the inertial flywheel hard.

He is also a native organ, and he also needs strength training to maintain the strength of his muscles and bones.

Just a few minutes after stepping on it, another distress message was received on the public channel.

"Help! Help! This is the Byron spaceship! Help all the spaceships passing by this area! As long as they can help us out of trouble, we are willing to provide a total of 40 star crystals as a high thank you gift!"

In such a short while, the bounty has doubled, which shows that the Byron spacecraft has reached the end of its rope and may be destroyed at any time.

It's a pity that Hope can't help.

Zheng Wan glanced at the coordinates of the opponent's spacecraft again: "That's not right. Byron's escape trajectory is very close to our cruise trajectory. At the closest time, the distance will even be less than 5 kilometers."

In space, 5 kilometers is almost the same as face-to-face. Unless you are optically invisible, you can't escape the spacecraft's detectors.

"Hmm~~ God must give us this bounty?"

Lin Yuan is still very willing to help if he goes along the way. The 40 bounty is a lot, and the firepower of the Hope is enough to deal with the star robbers.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It depends on the situation. If the Byron is still not destroyed by the Star Thief when it reaches the closest point, we will help."

Zheng Wan also had this intention, she asked: "Then should we contact the Byron now? We can ask them for the optical image of the Star Thief spacecraft, and make preparations early."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not necessary, contacting us too early will expose our existence."

"clear."

As soon as his voice fell, new information appeared on the public channel.

"Byron, Byron~ This is the Lark cargo spaceship, we are ready to come to support~ Please share more information about the spaceship of the Snake-Eyed Star Pirate."

After five or six seconds, the message from the Byron rang: "Oh~ thank God, we will send the image of the opponent's spaceship right away~ zi zi~~ zi~"

In the middle of the conversation, it all becomes a loud background noise, and nothing can be heard.

Lin Yuan immediately said: "The Star Pirates have activated strong electromagnetic interference, and accurate image signals cannot be transmitted."

After the noise lasted for more than two minutes, it became slightly weaker.

Amidst the noisy background noise, a hoarse and cold voice appeared: "Hmph, even a cargo spaceship dares to meddle in business. Your uncle's spaceship is equipped with a full set of Bunny Hunter systems. If you dare to come, I dare to roast you Dried chicken meat!"

Obviously, this voice belonged to Star Robber Snake Eye.

After hearing this, Zheng Wan immediately said: "The Rabbit Hunter weapon control system is a technology eliminated by the Xuanwu Continent's army. Although it is outdated on the battlefield, its power cannot be underestimated. It is more than enough to deal with civilian spaceships."

Ten seconds later, the message of the Lark appeared on the public channel.

"Byron~ Zizi I'm really sorry, Zizi~ I'm afraid this matter is beyond the limit of our capabilities. Zizi~ I wish you good luck."

After that, the message of the Lark spacecraft never appeared again.

He was scared off by the Bunny Hunter system.

After a few seconds, the message from the Byron rang again: "Snake Eye, do you want money? Yes, you report the number, and we will try our best to get you enough!"

The snake eye message sounded: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. We are short of money, but someone gave us a huge sum of money that we couldn't refuse, just to buy your life. Although we star robbers are a little poor, we still talk about some business Reputable, so, I'm really sorry, hehehe~"

Obviously, Snake Eye thought he had a chance to win, so he openly chatted with Byron on the public channel.

Lin Yuan stopped his strength training and returned to the passenger seat.

He listened to the conversation on the communication channel, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, and looked at the deep starry sky outside the boat.

The current location is the outer star field of Nanli, which is a full 13 astronomical units away from Nanli No. [-] star. Looking at Nanli No. [-] star from here, there is only a white dot the size of a grain of rice.The two stars in Nanli have already merged into the starry sky, and they need to be carefully distinguished to find their positions.

The memory of the past told Lin Yuan that in such a fringe area, interstellar security is quite chaotic, and there is almost no order in space, which is a good place to kill and rob.

The current situation is that Mr. Li, the owner of the Byron, was paid for his life by his enemies.

Therefore, this is not a simple interstellar rescue, but a trip into muddy waters.

Zheng Wan said softly: "We still have a surplus of propellant, do you want to change the orbit and bypass this area?"

They were just scavengers who worked hard to get a spaceship. Now that a better life was in front of them, there was really no need to get involved in such a whirlpool.

Lin Yuan was noncommittal, silent for a while, and asked softly, "Do you know any big family surnamed Li?"

The captain of the Byron was called a son by Snake Eye, and he was paid for his life with huge sums of money, which showed that he had an extraordinary background and that many people's interests were involved in him.

If you wade into this muddy water, it will certainly cause trouble for your upper body, but at the same time, it will also catch Mr. Li's line.

Furthermore, 40 star crystals is not a small sum.

Zheng Wan recalled carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Could it be the Li family from Yunmeng Continent?"

"Yunmeng Li's family?"

"Yes. The Li family is a well-known political family and one of the major shareholders of the Qingmu Group. The current patriarch, Li Tianran, was once elected as the main governor of Yunmeng Continent."

Having said that, Zheng Wan seemed to remember something, and immediately turned her head to look at the flight path of the Byron. Looking at it, she clapped her hands lightly and said, "The Byron seems to be flying towards Gold Mine Island too."

Lin Yuan took a closer look and nodded to confirm: "He is flying to Gold Mine Island!"

"That makes sense. The Gold Mine Island belongs to the Yunmeng Continent. It was built by the Li family 1200 years ago, and it has always been under the Li family's sphere of influence. Many Li family children would go to the gold mine when they were young. Island experience."

In this case, Lin Yuan said: "If this is the case, it is worth investing in. Let's find a way to save people."

Before, he just planned to take a shot along the way, but now, he decided to take the initiative to rush over to save people.

Zheng Wan felt a little guilty, but seeing that Lin Yuan was calm and composed, and seemed to have a plan in mind, she nodded in agreement: "Then save me."

Lin Yuan turned on the public channel, adjusted the transmitting power of the antenna to the maximum, and started sending messages.

"Byron, this is the Hope cargo spacecraft. We have received your distress signal and are currently speeding up to support. Please try your best to hold on!"

Less than 5 seconds after the message was sent, the Byron responded: "ZiZi~~ZiZi~~Oh~Spaceship Hope,~ZiZiZi~~ You are really my saviors!"

The vague information is mixed in the huge noise, but the excitement of the other party can still be clearly felt.

Star Robber Snake Eye is not so happy: "Mother, another meddlesome cargo spaceship is here! It seems that I got lucky today. Not only can I kill a famous man, but I can also snatch a batch of goods. "
