Chapter 768 Meteorite Group

"The decision is up to you! Whether we continue to move forward or return here, the decision is in your hands!" Probably because he has been imprisoned by the Jiugan tribe once, so this time He Dongliu became quite Cautious, she originally strongly hoped to complete the adventure, but now she has no strong desire to persevere.

If it were He Dongliu who was 18 years ago, then no matter how dangerous the future is, He Dongliu would never retreat, he would only choose to move forward... This is the necessary quality and belief of an explorer. If you don't even have this belief, then this explorer is not a qualified explorer.

And similarly, this is also one of the reasons why explorers are known as the admirals with the highest death rate. A large number of explorers eventually died on the road of exploration because of such indomitable beliefs!
"Let's send out drones to scout first!" Liu Nianfeng said after thinking for a while, since they have already found the wormhole, it would be a bit unreconciled to return here, at least to find out the wormhole Let's talk about the situation at the other end.

So under Liu Nianfeng's order, ten high-speed drones dedicated to reconnaissance set sail from the Glory and rushed directly into the wormhole.

These drones were purchased by Liu Nianfeng at a high price. The price of each drone was as high as 1 million star coins, which was about a hundred times higher than the price of ordinary drones for reconnaissance.

The reason why the prices of these drones are so high is that the most critical factor is that they are equipped with the most advanced artificial intelligence, which is said to have reached the level of a ten-year-old boy.

Even if the quantum network connection is completely lost because the wormhole is too far away, it can still move freely at the other end with the help of artificial intelligence. At the same time, once it finds that there is danger at the other end, it will immediately record, take pictures, and then seize it. Way to escape... This artificial intelligence is said to have the ability to avoid 70% of the attacks of star beasts.

As long as enough drones are sent out, there should always be one or two that can return.

It can be seen from this that although Liu Nianfeng came out in a hurry, all the preparations were extremely complete, which seemed to be more complete than that of He Dongliu back then.

These drones quickly entered the wormhole, and then they were able to maintain a certain amount of quantum communication in the wormhole for the first 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes, all communication was completely interrupted.

This means that the length of this wormhole is also more than 20 minutes away, so that the quantum signal completely fades, and the other end of the wormhole cannot rely on the quantum signal for direct communication.

Everyone became ignorant of the situation of the drone on the other side of the wormhole, and could only gather silently at the entrance of the wormhole, waiting for the news from the drone.

"We'll just wait for eight hours. If no drone returns after eight hours, the fleet will retreat immediately without delay!" Seeing this situation, Liu Nianfeng decisively announced to everyone.

According to the setting, the UAV must thoroughly explore all the conditions within 2000 million kilometers at the other end of the wormhole before returning, and according to the speed of the UAV, it will take about two hours.

At the same time, the UAV has another working logic, that is, if it is active for up to six hours, it will inevitably turn back regardless of the detection results.The limit length of wormholes currently known to mankind is about 50 minutes. Scientists believe that wormholes exceeding this length cannot continue to be maintained at all, and the entire wormhole will naturally collapse.

As long as these drones sail in the wormhole for an hour, it takes two hours to go back and forth, and it takes eight hours to add up.

If none of these drones return after eight hours, it means that the other end of the wormhole is indeed full of dangers. For the safety of the fleet, it is impossible for Fleeting Maple to venture into the wormhole!
The waiting time is a bit long, a bit boring, and a bit frightening.

The rest of the fleet is okay, they should sleep and eat, anyway, they are just here to complete their work.But Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu were under a lot of pressure. Anyway, it was impossible for the two of them to fall asleep during these few hours.

The time passed by 1 minute and 1 second, and soon seven hours later, when Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu felt that things were probably messed up, these drones might not be able to come back, and the other end of the wormhole is likely to be another While in a cage, an intermittent signal suddenly connected to the communication of the Radiance.

"It's the signal from our drone!" Alice said excitedly, while Liu Nianfeng and He Dongliu jumped in front of the console at the same time, looking at the various data displayed on the console, they confirmed that it was indeed their drone , and then let out a long sigh of relief.

After that, another eight drones were connected to the communication one after another, and they all returned successfully, but the last drone never received any return signal, but it doesn't have to be too much No fuss, after all, drones need to face many dangers alone after leaving the control of humans.

And because of the material of the drone, it may be directly damaged when passing through the wormhole, so it is not very strange to lose the signal of one or two drones!

After 20 minutes, these drones came out of the wormhole one after another, and were immediately taken back by the Glory. At the same time, the staff began to quickly interpret the data stored in the drones and upload all the pictures taken by the drones. into the cockpit.

"Here we come! The picture is here!" He Dongliu shouted excitedly, and the picture taken by the drone appeared in front of everyone.

At the beginning of the picture, it looked like a boring wormhole space. After fast forwarding, it was confirmed that the drone sailed in the wormhole space for a full 36 minutes and 21 seconds, which proved that this is a rather long wormhole. It can reach a distance of about 150 million light-years, which means that the location where the treasure fleet crashed is still 150 million light-years away.

After rewinding the records of the wormhole space, the scene at the other end of the wormhole finally appeared.

Unexpectedly, the other end of the wormhole is actually a whole group of meteorites... This wormhole is directly opened in the center of the group of meteorites, and the space around the wormhole is completely surrounded by dense meteorites.

"It's no wonder that the drone will use up all six hours before being forced to return, because there are all meteorites here, and the drone is also very tricky to fly. It needs to avoid meteorites and scout the entire diameter of 2000 million. The range of kilometers will take several times more time!"

He Dongliu breathed a long sigh of relief. The reason why the drone returned so late this time was also found out. It turned out that the way was blocked by a large-scale meteorite group.

"Look! Is this the missing drone!" In the picture taken by a drone, the drone that has never been able to return is sailing in another direction of the meteorite group. After a few seconds, it disappeared into the drone's screen.

No other drone has been able to capture images of that vanished drone since!
"It seems that this drone should have collided with a meteorite, causing the entire drone to be destroyed, so it can't return!" He Dongliu said thoughtfully.

"Hmm! It should be like this!" Liu Nianfeng nodded.

"But will these meteorite groups pose a threat to our fleet?" Liu Nianfeng looked at the densely packed meteorites in the image and said to himself with some hesitation.

These meteorites are densely packed, and the size is still small, covering the entire universe with stars. Only a small part of the space can accommodate a whole warship to pass through, and most of the places have no space for the star warship to pass through without injury!
"Theoretically, there is no threat!" Seeing Liu Nianfeng's worry, He Dongliu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it is written very clearly in the textbook, as long as it is not a meteorite with a diameter exceeding 1/10 of the volume of the Star Warship, then it can be made of a ghost alloy." Hardness, it can't cause substantial damage to our star battleship, at most it will leave a mark on the shell!"

"And the size of these meteorites in the video is almost less than 1% of the volume of the Star Warship, and only a few of them have reached the standard of being able to pose a threat, but it doesn't matter, as long as our route avoids these large meteorites, it is enough!"

"According to my personal experience, when the time comes, as long as the Radiance is used as the lead ship, to open the way for the entire fleet, and ram it all the way at 1/6 of the cruising speed, then you will be able to hit a path directly, and the Radiance will not be affected. Any damage... According to the drone's investigation, the diameter of this meteorite group is about one kilometer, so according to 1/6 of the cruising speed, it only takes about 40 hours for the fleet to pass through this meteorite group safely! "

"Really! That's no problem!"

"The fleet sets off! Pass through the wormhole at full speed!" Following Liu Nianfeng's order, the entire fleet entered the wormhole one by one.

----------------

"Bang!" Seeing a fairly huge meteorite hit directly on a piece of armor in the lower right corner of the cockpit, and then the whole meteorite was smashed into pieces, Liu Nianfeng couldn't help feeling that it was too violent.

Just like what He Dongliu analyzed before like Liu Nianfeng, the Brilliance was the first mine-sweeper and forced a way through the meteorites, while all the other destroyers followed the Brilliance. Go ahead safely.

However, apart from the fact that the paintwork on the Glorious ship was a little bit off, there were no other major problems, and the fleet continued to move forward very safely.

"Compared with humans 3000 years ago, we are so lucky!" Seeing this scene, He Dongliu couldn't help sighing, "I have seen the wreckage of a battleship 3000 years ago. The size of /1, and the ghost alloy used is all the original formula provided by the Jiugan family, the strength is not as good as 10/1 of the current one. Facing so many densely packed meteorites, the fleet at that time must be very desperate, except There is no other way but to detour!"

"I didn't expect Admiral He Dongliu to study your battleship!" Liu Nianfeng laughed.

"Hehe! Anyone in our line of work needs to understand a little bit!" He Dongliu smiled, and after that, the Radiance, which had been shaking unceasingly due to various impacts, suddenly became calm.

When everyone raised their heads again and looked at the stars in the universe in the distance, the dense group of meteorites had disappeared, replaced by a huge star that was burning red and red!
The fleet has entered a small planetary system!
