Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 17 Expedition Base

Of course, Xiao Cheng and the others don’t know about these contents, but because of this accident, several parties have been involved in disputes. For the sake of safety, the "Yanyun" did not continue to Tianchi star, but was in the "escape cabin" incident. Two days later, it landed at a space station of the Xinghai MRT Group branch in the Eagle Wing Constellation Yinhaixing in the Yunzhou Starfield. The official explanation for this is that "the maintenance personnel did not lock the safety door of the escape cabin according to the regulations, which caused the starship safety self-checking system to start. ", and explained that there is no problem with the starship, but a small misunderstanding caused by the too sensitive security system, and used this to publicize the safety performance of the new large passenger starship "Yanyun" of Xinghai Express Group. The major media have consistently promoted this, downplaying the impact, only some gossip spread on the Internet, "Yanyun" was attacked by star robbers, "Yanyun" encountered a mysterious wormhole and escaped in a thrilling manner, " "Yanyun" transported mysterious items stolen...

But now that the passengers are safe and the starship is safe, the scene of everyone's joy made everyone discuss it for a while, and then gradually fell silent. As for the truth, no one is willing to pursue it in detail, after all, everyone is so busy...

At this time, Xiao Cheng, Nan Xin, Mr. Mu, Lao Han, Xiaodie, Wu Ge, and Bald Dragon, who have gone through many twists and turns, have been reunited, and they boarded the "Hidden Dragon" and headed straight to the airport where the trip had been delayed for nearly two weeks. Qingzhou Starfield.

"Yinlong" is a modified Huaguo decommissioned assault frigate. It is the fastest type of frigate. Invisible when only the regular engine is on, undetectable by any scanning sensor devices.This kind of cloaking device was developed by the scientists of Jueyu based on some scattered cloaking theories spread from Huaguo. It roughly creates a space bending transmission force field within a radius of 1500 meters of the ship, so as to evade various sensors of other starships. scan.

But its defect is also obvious, that is, it cannot be approached by any object larger than one-fifth of the volume of the invisible starship to approach the spherical invisible position with a radius of 1500 meters of the ship itself, otherwise it will disturb the invisible position and reveal it.At the same time, when the invisible position is turned on, it can only be propelled by conventional engines, and the speed must be reduced by 60% to maintain the stability of the position, and the jump engine cannot be activated, because the penetration of the space when the jump engine is activated will directly destroy the space. The existence of losing ground.Finally, after the invisibility position is turned on, it will also cause huge interference to the sensors of the starship itself, and the locking speed of the target starship or object will be doubled.

However, according to the performance of several wars, Huaguo's stealth frigate did not reflect these shortcomings, but even so, it is enough for the "Yinlong", it has excellent mobility and flexibility, even in the stealth state , the speed can also reach 560m/s, which is completely sufficient, not to mention that it does not have to be invisible all the time when it is not necessary, because it is registered in a small starry sky expedition named "I'm going to explore 5776". Next, as for this strange name, it is to blame the damned registration regulations that prohibit the use of duplicate names. Those cool and crazy names have been given up by the ancestors for thousands of years, but As a tribute to these human warriors who conquered the starry sky, all countries and organizations in the world prohibit the use of the names of expedition teams that have appeared. Expedition team names with a lot of slots are no surprise nowadays.

In the vast universe, although human beings have been exploring for thousands of years, they have only expanded to one-fifth of the Milky Way, centered on the earth, the holy land of human beings. It has expanded countless times, but it is still extremely small in the universe. Except for the capital stars of the galaxies and star fields of various countries and some famous planets, most of the mild and habitable planets have only tens of millions or even millions of people. There are fewer short temperate planets, only tens of thousands, 10,000+.Although all countries are encouraging the birth of population and implementing it as a thousand-year plan, the number of human beings is still far from enough to meet the development of the universe.The existence of the expedition team is the vanguard of human beings conquering the starry sky. More than [-]% of the valuable star field galaxies were discovered by these expedition teams. Exploration materials greatly avoid the waste of resources and personnel caused by useless planetary exploration.

Therefore, countries generally have special preferential treatment for expedition teams. As long as they are legally registered expedition teams, they can pass through any star gate in the world unimpeded. There are also special areas for expedition teams in each space station near the border star field area. For the expedition members to supply supplies and exchange experience.

Now Xiao Cheng and his party are only five hops away from the Qingzhou star field, in the satellite space station on the border of the Yuzhou star field-Dragon Claw Constellation-Dongque Galaxy-the seventh planet. This space station belongs to the Huaguo Haoshangjia Food Group. It is a food collection and transportation center in the border area of ​​the universe star field. Although the axis length of the space station is only 32km, it is a small space station, but it has a unique shape. Shuttle back and forth, very lively.

A group of people temporarily rest in a leisure block near the port.

And Shenjing, who made the "Yanyun" anecdotal, was hidden by the bald dragon in his metal box and placed on the "Yinlong", but did not take it down.The old man used to have a prominent position in Huaguo, so he naturally knew the details of the Duan family. He was actually the descendant of Marshal Duan Xianglong, the most famous of the seven generals who emerged to defend the country when Huaguo was in crisis of division 300 years ago. The family has been operating in the Jingzhou Starfield area. Although no one in the family has served in the army for more than 100 years, they are still inextricably linked to the Jingzhou Starfield army. Zhou Xingyu is in the opposite direction, and I don't know much about it. As for why the Duan family secretly transported this crystal, the old man dare not make too many guesses, but since he got it by mistake by his own family, he must never There is no reason to send it back. After this expedition is over, I will bring it back to Absolute Domain for detailed investigation.

However, everyone still learned a lot of secrets from the old man who was in charge of the super flagship team. Although the specific composition of Shenjing is unknown, it can continuously release energy by itself to shatter the existing space and absorb a kind of "fire seed" from the subspace. C——57” dark matter energy undergoes fission. It is a magical energy crystal between the present space and the subspace. Don’t underestimate such a small piece of magic crystal. Its specific mass is at least hundreds of thousands of tons. It does not directly affect the existing space, so it is as light as nothing when picked up. Fortunately, there is the ion chamber of the Duan family as the carrier, otherwise its huge abnormal energy can be regarded as an extremely bright lighthouse in the universe, but it is also Because of this, the Duan family was trapped in a cocoon, and they couldn't find the whereabouts of Shenjing, so even if they had any plans, they must have been delayed, so there is no need to worry about anything for the time being.

The most important goal now is to complete the investigation of the mysterious and ancient signal of the "Odin Kingdom". The reason for coming to this space station is to obtain a detailed star map of the surrounding galaxies where the signal is located, in addition to resting and resupplying. Information, Brother Wu found that the galaxy where the mark is located is located near the center of the Qingzhou star field, but there are no warm and livable planets in it, and there are no valuable mineral resources. It is a useless and barren galaxy, and the surrounding galaxies are the same. Therefore, the orthodox star map does not mark the detailed information on that side, because no one will waste time on this kind of galaxy—except for the expedition team, and this space station is exactly the Yuzhou Star Field, the Qingzhou Star Field Expedition Team A meeting point for them, the content of the news is very well-informed, so after discussion, everyone decided to see if they could buy a detailed star map here.

After all, it is unwise to rashly enter a galaxy without any information, and they are pressed for time, so careful exploration is not allowed. The universe is magnificent, and any wonderful and unimaginable things will happen, and no one wants to do it by themselves "Through" experience.Therefore, the star map information of a galaxy becomes particularly precious.

In this large building called "Expedition Base" located in a leisure block, there is a constant flow of people and it is busy. Judging from the attire, it is basically the members of the expedition team who exchange information, release paid information, and receive various commissions. Task.The floating light screens are updating various information in real time.Originally, Xiao Cheng thought that the seven of them were a bit conspicuous, but he didn't expect that there were basically groups of explorers here, and they were relatively few. Knowing that Xiao Cheng was a little strange, the bald dragon specially explained to him , although all countries are relatively open to the protection of the expedition policy, but in order to prevent criminals from hiding, the expedition team must register with the expedition registration agency in the border area of ​​​​the constellation star field, and scan and check the prohibited items on the starship ——This kind of inspection is not carried out by a special person boarding the ship, which is too inefficient——When the starship docks at the space station, it will pass through a dedicated scanning channel about 30 meters long, which will check the prohibited biomass, drugs, and dangerous radiation. Items, etc. will be scanned and confiscated, and the expedition members will scan their weapons and ordnance after they leave the ship. All civilian space stations within the Republic are prohibited from carrying weapons or controlling knives to enter - after all, many expedition members have relatively hot tempers.

Of course, Lao Han's small shaped cannon was lying quietly in the "Lin's space box" in his hand, obviously the scanner could not detect objects in subspace.A group of people passed through the bustling crowd and came to the information consultation office.

　Tired of reading novels about human nature and selfishness, Xiaoxiao hopes to show everyone the image of a protagonist who is affectionate and righteous. Even the villain in the novel must have an unknown story, and he will not be so stupid that he will be easily knocked down as soon as the protagonist appears. The bridge section-of course, the ending of being knocked down will definitely be unavoidable in the end, haha
