Him and their stars.

Chapter 804 Star-level Illusion

Everyone on the Blizzard finally had a commotion.If what appeared in front of them were multiple enemy fleets or even space Leviathans covering the sky, they wouldn't be so frightened.

However, when the unknown that they never expected comes around, it is a completely different matter.

Captain Hongshan was also panicked, but ordered everyone to check the logbook again, but found nothing. He was very dazed for a while, and then looked at the strongest psychic on board.

"This possibility exists." Yeager Soback could only bite the bullet and said: "Not to mention spiritual power, there are also natural astronomical phenomena that can interfere with our cognition."

In fact, he didn't know at all. After all, their Sobaek family was just a declining nobleman who lost his territory and title, and there was not much secret inheritance of occultism left, so naturally he could only consider some memorization.But this is the case now, and there is really no other way except to open your eyes and talk nonsense.

You must know that the mental structure of sailors who are out of control is not stable, and there are many examples of dragging the upper management of the ship to the springboard.As an army supervisor, I am much more dangerous than the captain.

Fortunately, as the strongest psyker on the ship and also a member of the God of War Festival champion team, Yeager's words were somewhat convincing, and the sergeants still doubtfully agreed.

"Then what should we do?" Hong Shan asked.

Sobaek hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Go again."

He felt the eyes of everyone on the bridge, but he still struggled to maintain his superficial composure, and said solemnly: "Just go again. If the same situation still occurs, turn back. I promise everyone."

no way.If there is a problem and I turn back, the lords above can use my head to send a flag. It can even be said that what we saw along the way were all mass hallucinations caused by cowardice and cowardice.

But if the same thing happens twice, and the situation along the way is photographed.There is no way to explain it as the so-called group hallucination, and the above should not be able to say anything.

"To be on the safe side, [-]-hour video recording is required. And..." He looked at the maroon terrestrial planet not far away: "Place a gravitational wave beacon on the surface of the planet."

The universe can produce hallucinations, so how to explain the hallucinations on the surface of the planet?thought Sobaek.

Having said all of this, everyone had no choice but to agree to work hard with Sobaek one more time.

Everyone set off towards the predetermined galaxy for the second time.This time it was still calm and harmonious, without any danger, but it took everyone ten days.This is because, every time a galaxy passes by, the Blizzard is eager to collect all the optical images and astronomical data in the galaxy, leaving unmanned probes in the low-Earth orbit of almost every planet.He even conducted a 30-hour landing exploration on the naturally habitable planet on the channel, collected a large number of biological specimens and environmental data, and left double-digit unmanned exploration robots on the planet.

Then, everyone started to move forward again, and on February 2, they returned to Blizzard X16, which was the original starting point.

This time, even with Sobek's reputation on the ship, the big guys couldn't hold back.

"Sir, although we all hope that you can beat that Earthman once, but..." the navigator was ashamed.

"But, but, at least we have to keep our usefulness!" The bosun scratched his scalp and said helplessly.

"Yeah, if we were really trapped to death in this place, would everyone become those space ghosts?" The chief engineer kept looking left and right as he spoke, as if a bird was frightened and lost its soul. A brave duck.

"I don't know if everyone will become ghosts, but if this continues, Blizzard will become a ghost ship." The first mate said with a strange tone.

Well, it must be admitted that Sobaek could be quite proud of his prestige on the ship.Even if everyone couldn't hold back and wanted to get away, they adopted very polite negotiations and persuasion, and never thought that the rebellion would dare him to take a step forward.

Of course, Sobak, whose scalp was numb at this time, didn't think of this either.He checked the camera, made sure that the footage was complete, and prepared to order a retreat.

But at this time, Captain Hongshan said: "Let's go again, don't go to the end this time. Go to the planet Soter Garden to have a look."

Soter Garden Planet is the temporary name of that habitable planet.According to the general exploration regulations that the first discoverers of planets and galaxies have the priority of naming rights, the people who are qualified to name that planet are Sobaek and Hongshan, the two highest-ranking people on board.

Of course, Hongshan is only a citizen, but Sobaek is a nobleman, and the old captain is not the type to show off, so he gave up this honor to Sobaek.

Yeager Sobek was very moved, and after a few social concessions as an adult, he named the blue livable planet "Sot Garden".This is the name of the territorial planet when their Sobaek family was still a prince.Of course, after losing the title and the territory was reclaimed by the central government of the empire, this name was naturally annihilated in the long river of history.

Sobaek immediately understood what Captain Hongshan meant.

If everything you are currently experiencing is an illusion, what are the robots left on the planet?What about those biological specimens and natural environment information?

It must be confirmed again!
After all, Captain Hongshan was an old sailor who had served in the Imperial Army for forty years. Most of the officers present were his old subordinates. Of course, his prestige in the blizzard was even higher than that of Sobaek.

After all, everyone reluctantly carried out the order.

However, after the incident, the bosun reminded the captain: "But no matter what, everyone on board has reached their limit. It's not physical, but psychological. This is actually more troublesome than imagined..."

"I understand," said the captain, "so if you get nothing this time, run away."

It took less than two days for the Blizzard to arrive at Soter Garden this time, and Sobek even led the team to land on the planet himself, so by the way, it also greatly improved the favorability in the eyes of the grassroots officers and soldiers. .

Of course, it wasn't that he became brave all of a sudden, but simply felt that, compared to the universe that seemed to have been dominated by unknown hallucinations, he seemed to feel more secure when he was down-to-earth on the planet's ground.

This time, it took them only ten hours to find the leftover exploration robot.These advanced robots, which can run for several years by relying on their own power supply and solar panels, have been operating according to the predetermined procedures for several days, storing a considerable amount of planetary information.

Analysis and comparison, there is indeed no problem.

This planet is real.At least no one present could notice any problems.

However, the more this is the case, the more creepy it is.

So Sobek, who returned to the boat, said to everyone: "Don't go forward, go back the same way."

"...Indeed, indeed, this star field is really weird. We have collected enough information, enough to hand over to the higher-ups." The most responsible and well-informed Captain Hongshan also expressed agree.

"Indeed, indeed! If these phenomena belong to abnormal celestial phenomena, it is the business of the great experts of the Wisdom Palace and Tiangong Academy. If it is a mystical phenomenon, then we have to rely on domestic experts. Uh, sorry , Sir, I am not saying that you are not a master, but..." the navigator hurriedly said.

Sobaek shook his head indifferently, but frowned and said: "Do you think that the main force of the predators has also escaped into this illusion, lost like us?"

The people present looked at each other in blank dismay.

Sobaek shook his head again: "No, this is unlikely. These illusions may also be the ghosts of the predators."

In fact, his judgment has no basis, but it is logical.Although the friends on the ship felt that Mr. Supervising Army might have overreacted, but after escaping from danger and reporting to Duke Sadulan, the latter agreed with this.

"Indeed, that's the only way to be logical." The old duke said, "What you encountered... this, um, the phantom formation across the galaxy may be the trump card for the predators to fight against our army's encirclement and suppression."

"Your Excellency, to be precise, it is at the star level." Colonel Sobaek has indeed fallen into memory.A person with such a high EQ, good at talking and social bullying didn't realize that speaking like this in front of a big leader seemed a bit frivolous. It was obvious that the scene at that time had a serious impact on him.

Of course, the head of the group doesn't have the same knowledge as this young man, and continued: "However, even I have never heard of a fantasy of this scale. Young man, you really dare to think about it!"

"...It's not that I want to think wildly. It's just that I can only think about it from this direction. There are many unsolved mysteries in the universe." Sobaek didn't know who the other party was. Whether he is praising himself or burying himself, he can only bite the bullet and answer.

The Duke laughed: "This is a good direction of thinking. When encountering unsolved mysteries, it is actually very important to make bold assumptions from a logical direction instead of being confined by common sense. It is more important than so-called knowledge and brute force."

Sobaek couldn't even tell if the other party was acting weird, and he was even more confused for a while.

"So, that's how you returned?" Duke Sadran asked again.

Sobaek hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not... We returned according to the original route, and when we arrived at the starting point, that is, the X12 galaxy in the storm, we found ourselves back in the Thorne Garden galaxy."

Rao even the Duke knew that the other party was out of danger, but he still felt nervous when he heard it. He couldn't help but looked up at the young knight seriously.After meeting with his own fleet, he should have recuperated, but he could still feel the young man's fatigue and weakness.

But even so, he could feel that the spirit of the other party was much fuller than he imagined.

"Thank you, Colonel. I can imagine that in that situation, you can still maintain the calmness and rationality of the crew. You must do your best, right?"

Sobaek frowned at the corner of his mouth, then just nodded silently

"So, how did your official find a way out?"

Speaking of this, Sobak suddenly regained his spirits, and a trace of pride flashed across his face: "I...well, every time I go to a new galaxy, I leave a gravitational wave transit device behind. This is actually to ensure and The communication in the rear is running. As you know, the gravitational wave signal, unlike the electromagnetic waves we use for communication, can pass through the gravity well smoothly."

Duke Sadran nodded.

"I ordered to close the navigation terminal, forget about the fluctuation of the gravity well, forget about the direction of the star map, and navigate through the subtle gravitational waves." Sobaek said seriously.

"Navigate through the source of the gravitational wave signal?" Duke Sadran showed a surprised look: "It's still possible?"

"Exactly, that's right. The gravity well guided by the gravitational wave will always lead us to unknown galaxies, but in fact, after passing through the passage of the gravity well, it is clearly the direction to return. Therefore, it is not that the gravitational wave is wrong, It's our ship's navigation system, and even our senses are wrong. However, the lower official's spiritual sense is finally right."

While digesting the other party's words, the Duke of Sadran looked at the young knight up and down as if he was getting to know him for the first time, and said with a smile: "Classic navigators really like to abandon terminals and all scientific equipment, relying on You can use your own spiritual sense to navigate. However, relying on spiritual sense alone is not enough, and you must also have sufficient knowledge of navigation. You were born as a stormtrooper officer in the colony, right? You still have such abilities?"

"Excuse me, I have always dreamed of being a captain, and I was going to apply for the self-study class at the Royal Naval Academy, so I learned some piloting knowledge by myself. I am still an amateur, but there are Captain Hongshan, the captain, and Major Luodan, the navigator. With strong support, I finally didn’t make any low-level mistakes. I took everyone back to the voyage successfully.” Sobaek said.

By this time, the slight resentment that the Duke of Sadran had had before had disappeared.

In his opinion, this young man is brave, resourceful and lucky, and now he knows how to take care of his subordinates. He is indeed an outstanding young man with great potential and can be cultivated as a pillar of the country.

As for the slightly exaggerated performance... Well, no one is perfect.

At this time, I heard Sobaek say again: "However, there are still many luck factors for the lower officials to be able to get out of trouble this time. If this phantom formation always exists, then even if the local army is full of troops, it is very likely that they will be trapped. It is impossible to advance or retreat in the phantom formation, and there is even the danger of annihilation of the entire army."

"I will report this situation to His Majesty and the Privy Council as soon as possible. You have discovered a huge security risk for us, which is indeed a great achievement." The Duke looked him up and down again, and said firmly: "And, your Xinghuan is about to break through, is it because leading everyone to navigate with spiritual sense along the way, did they gain some understanding?"

Sobaek was a little shocked, but still nodded: "...The star ring of the lower official has indeed been filled. However, I dare not expect to break through in the near future."

After all, the cost of materials is very expensive. Although the star knights can apply to the public, they still have to wait in line!And it is said that it is quite dangerous when ascending the ring, so it needs to be carefully calculated.

What's more, if I really get promoted to the third ring, I might be directly assigned to the actual combat unit and command the cannon fodder of the Tiaogang.So, let's go to the security department first...

Sobaek was still thinking about it, but Duke Sadran had already put his hand on his shoulder.

He was slightly startled, and looked at the Duke, but he suddenly found that the old man's eyes could no longer see the pupils and cores, and had completely turned into a ray of light, as if two suns suddenly lifted into the sky, sending out a shocking A bright light that cannot be seen directly.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that his soul was captured by the strong light, unable to break free, and then lost consciousness.
