Chapter 287 Starlight? fleet!
"Survived...did we survive?"

In the cockpit, Isa stared blankly at the scene outside the porthole that gradually became clear from chaos, her soft voice tinged with a bit of trembling.

Chen Fan swallowed hard and nodded imperceptibly: "Okay, it seems so..."

Good luck.

[Varilla] is just a public ship after all. Although its performance has been enhanced in all aspects, if it wants to directly combat the extreme disaster of wormhole collapse...

There are still some things that are not enough to watch.

Not to mention the huge fleet following the Varela.

Looking at the bright red warning messages that were popping up on the main console, Chen Fan gave the order with a somewhat ugly face.

"One, report the battle damage!"

"[Varilla]'s curvature engine is damaged by 17%, the wormhole generation and stabilization system is damaged by 67%, the hull is not damaged, the weapon system is not damaged, and the shield system is not damaged..."

Fortunately, the damage to [Varilla] was not serious. The only problem was the wormhole generation and stabilization device.

Chen Fan laughed dumbly: "This is already the best result."

"A communication request from Olaya has been detected. Do you want to connect it?"

"I have professional maintenance robots here. It won't take long for the fleet to regain power."

Seeing Olaya nodding in affirmation, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's no problem."

Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are there so few?"

"In addition, due to the high-dimensional coordinate conversion involved, many emergency landing locations will be a bit... strange."

The moment she saw Chen Fan, Olaya's frightened expression gradually calmed down: "Your Excellency Chen Fan..."

"Where is the Marsh Abyss fleet?"

It is indeed a human-linked technology.

Indeed, according to Yi, the place where they made an emergency landing is already considered paradise.

"So many starships crashed..."

"As for that patrol starship...it was really unlucky and had an accident when it was about to complete its emergency landing."

"The total number of casualties among members of the Marsh Abyss fleet is 791, including 73 serious injuries, 616 minor injuries, and 102 deaths."

"There should be spare replacement engine units on the colony ship, right?"

How come the rider is getting further and further away? !
Sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Yi's voice quickly came from his right hand: "It is impossible to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of an emergency landing when the wormhole collapses."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is also an expected situation.

In a calm tone, he reported the battle damage status of the Marsh Abyss fleet: "The fleet's curvature engine is close to scrapping, the conventional engine is damaged to more than 70%, the hull structure is slightly deformed, and the overall strength of the hull is reduced by an average of 5.3%..."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

He took a deep breath: "What about the personal injuries? Have the results been calculated?"

87 starships crashed, killing 102 people? !

In the previous emergency landing, Olaya also accidentally got lucky.

It is 773 light years away from its destination.

"Due to the gravitational effects of large stars themselves, crash landings inside stars and around black holes are quite common."

Chen Fan's face darkened.

Chen Fan's expression darkened and he nodded slightly: "Inform the fleet and prepare to rest where you are."

In the holographic communication interface, a line of dark blue blood was slowly flowing down from Olaya's forehead.

……

As the electronic synthesized sound echoed in the cockpit, Chen Fan's anxiety eased slightly.

"The error of 773 light years is considered a precise emergency landing. According to the statistics of the People's Federation, the average error of emergency landing when the wormhole collapses is around light years, and the highest value can reach hundreds of millions or even billions of light years. Of course, this It’s the result of a large wormhole collapse.”

The moment he saw the coordinates of the fleet, Chen Fan's face suddenly darkened.

"86 large colonial ships and 1 patrol starship." Yi's voice was somewhat relieved, "In order to reduce casualties, this aircraft specially selected those colonial ships loaded with dummies."

Hearing Yi's answer, Chen Fan's heart moved and he came up with a guess: "The crashed starship..."

Chen Fan cast his gaze toward the Chaoyuan fleet that was clearly in chaos outside the porthole, and asked worriedly: "How is their situation?"

"The Migration Fleet has basically lost its cruising ability, we..."

"... A total of 87 starships have crashed, and there are currently 426 starships remaining."

"I know, but fortunately the casualties were not serious."

"The situation was urgent at that time. The main brain of the ship could not guarantee the successful forced landing of all starships, so it could only selectively abandon some large starships."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the star map beside him. At this time, the ship's main brain had completed the positioning of the fleet based on the coordinates of several pulsars.

He never expected that in that short moment, the ship's main brain He Yi could make such perfect handling measures during such a critical emergency landing.

"Your Excellency Chen Fan, what on earth is going on?" Olaya quickly became panicked in the communication channel.

"Why does this happen with wormhole jumps?"

After hearing Olaya's question, Chen Fan's expression became a little more solemn.

The joy of escaping death quietly dissipated, replaced by a faint anger!

"The wormhole encountered unknown interference."

The anger on Chen Fan's face deepened: "I suspect it is human factors."

"Human, human factors?!" Olaya stammered in surprise. Chen Fanyan gave a simple and concise popular explanation: "To put it simply, it was a passing higher civilization that was unhappy with us and shot us."

In the entire human union pan-universe, the human union logo engraved on the side of the Varela that resembles a star system is the most perfect passport.

Pan-universe street, find out who is the father!

After working as an investigator for such a long time, Chen Fan has never heard of an investigator whose starship would be shot down during a wormhole jump!
Chen Fan gritted his teeth and reached out to operate the main console in front of him: "This is the first time that labor and management have heard that someone dared to attack the starship of the People's Federation Investigator!"

"Those who step on horses, this matter is not over yet!!"

"One, turn on the full-band detection system. I want to see which civilization doesn't have eyesight!"

One thing to say, at this moment, he was even ready to call for the support fleet to enter!
It is true that the [Varilla] cannot defeat some fleets of advanced civilizations, but the human fleet behind it can!
Don’t forget, there is a fully armed support fleet parked in the Stargate Universe next to the EL13697101 space bubble, ready to jump in at any time! !
but……

"No suspicious targets have been detected so far."

The electronic synthesized sound sounded in the cockpit, like a basin of cold water, directly dousing the anger in Chen Fan's heart.

"What?!" He widened his eyes slightly, unable to believe Yi's words, "One, are you sure there is no suspicious target?"

"Since the successful emergency landing, this aircraft has turned on the full-channel active detection radar, but until now, this aircraft has not detected any traces of advanced civilization activities in the surrounding area."

There was silence in the cockpit.

"Chen, Chen Fan..."

In the co-pilot on the side, Isa stared blankly at the porthole in front of her.

Her mechanical left eye flashed with a faint blue light, staring straight at the deep starry sky outside the porthole window.

As if she saw something, a look of horror quietly appeared on Isa's face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Fan noticed something strange about Isha and followed Isha's gaze and looked forward.

In the deep, dark universe, faint starlight comes from infinite distance.

Chen Fan frowned, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

This seems...nothing wrong, right?

"Then, over there..."

Isa's voice trembled slightly.

"There seems to be a fleet there!"

……

The moment the words fell, the atmosphere in the cockpit instantly became solemn!
"fleet?!"

Chen Fan sat up straight and looked nervously at the main console in front of him: "One, active radar scanning!"

"...This aircraft has not detected the fleet, and the front of the Varela is very calm."

As the electronic synthesized sound quickly sounded, Chen Fan's expression became strange.

"Isa, you..."

"Have!"

Isa's mechanical left eye rotated slightly, and the blue light released from inside became more intense.

She looked anxious and said decisively: "There really is a fleet!!"

With that said, Isa began to describe the general outline of the fleet to Chen Fan.

"The fleet is very large, probably...a hundred times larger than the Marsh Abyss fleet."

"But the starship inside is a bit dilapidated. It looks like it just went through a war!"

Chen Fan said nothing and silently operated on the console in front of him.

The active radar array quietly unfolded - just as Yi said, there was nothing in front of the Varela.

Chen Fan frowned, turned to look at Isa's mechanical left eye, and a thought came to his mind: "Your mechanical left eye... is broken?"

Isa bit her lip lightly and shook her head firmly: "There is no fault code, but I did see that fleet."

"They are far away from us. Only with the mechanical left eye can we see clearly what the fleet looks like."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and gave the order softly.

"One, launch the [Varilla] and go to the front to check the situation."

hum...

A slight tremor came from the deck - although there was a slight malfunction in the curvature engine, it did not affect the normal navigation of the starship.

Tens of millions of kilometers passed by in an instant, and the fragmented "starlight" outside the window began to become brighter.

Chen Fan's expression also began to gradually change.

"This……"

Chen Fan looked at the scene outside the porthole with a look of horror.

As the Varela continues to move forward, the scenes hidden in the "starlight" gradually become clearer!

What kind of starlight is this! !

This is clearly the light of countless high-power searchlights during the fleet's voyage! ! !

Isa is right!

In this deep starry sky, in front of the [Varilla], a fleet is moving forward quietly and slowly! !
Its scale is huge, hundreds of times that of the Marsh Abyss Fleet!
The 120-meter-sized [Varela] can only be regarded as the outermost small frigate of the fleet!

In the center of this fleet, there were dozens of large starships exceeding 100,000 meters in size! !
