Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 297
On the screen, an extremely bright beam of light appeared, but outside the porthole of the "Tianjiao", it was still dark.

Seeing the information displayed on the screen, Yang Yi and the others frowned.

The "Phantom" warship uses a space weapon driven by original energy, and the light beam on the screen is the channel for transmitting the original energy.The principle of this weapon is very simple, it concentrates the original energy on one point, causing the space to collapse.If this point is inside the star, it will cause the star to collapse.

The star system where the space fortress is located is very ordinary, and the main sequence star is a very ordinary yellow dwarf star.Collapsing from the inside, this yellow dwarf will have a big explosion, ejecting most of the matter, sweeping all places in the star system, and destroying all the planets in the star system.If extra mass and energy are obtained from the outside during the collapse, a singularity will be created after the explosion.Only with enough external energy and mass can it become a black hole that can exist stably.If the external energy and mass are not enough, even if it is transformed into a black hole, it will be difficult to exist stably, and it will be quickly annihilated, that is, it will be transformed into the ubiquitous original energy in the universe.

Obviously, regardless of whether the stars will turn into black holes or not, all living things in the star system will be wiped out.

In a blink of an eye, the invisible beam, which can only be detected with instruments, hit the star.Immediately, a set of numbers appeared on the screen.

Although it is impossible to prevent the enemy ship from destroying the star, the "Tianjiao" can detect the energy output by the enemy ship, and calculate the destruction process of the star from this.

Soon, the group of numbers turned yellow.

Yang Yi's brows twitched a few times, and he glanced at Yu Jiao who was standing beside him.

Yujiao just pursed her mouth and said nothing.

There is only one factor that determines how a star is destroyed, and that is the energy that the enemy ship pumps into the star's interior.The number turns yellow, indicating that the minimum energy required for the star to collapse from the inside has been exceeded, that is, the star will collapse even if the enemy ship stops inputting energy into the star.

It's just that the numbers are still changing.

After just a few seconds, the numbers turned red.

At this time, the energy input by the enemy ship into the interior of the star has exceeded the critical value for singularity.That is, stars transform into black holes after the Big Bang.

It was at this time that the numbers stopped changing.

"Alan?"

"The energy inside the star has broken through the critical point, but it has not reached the minimum value for turning into a permanent black hole. With the current energy level, this newly formed black hole..."

"What?" Lin Feng was very surprised, feeling that he heard it wrong.

"Colonel, black holes have already formed, but they are limited by the speed of light. We haven't detected black holes yet, and we haven't been affected by them."

"How much time is left?"

"15 minutes, maybe less."

At this time, a red spherical area appeared on the screen.Obviously, this is the no-escape region of the black hole.Because it is a naturally occurring black hole, the lowest escape velocity is the speed of light, and after the black hole is fully formed, as long as it is in the inescapable region, it cannot escape even if it moves at the speed of light.

"Where are we?"

A green light spot appeared on the screen, and it was within the red spherical area.

"Because the transmission speed of the gravitational field is the speed of light, we are not affected by the black hole for the time being, but..."

"How much longer?" Yang Yi asked without further ado.

"I have fully taken over the spaceship, but the space jumping device equipped on the spaceship is more advanced than any I have come into contact with before, and I cannot control it for the time being."

"How much longer!?" Lin Feng was very impatient.

"Before I understand this system, I don't know how much time it will take to control and make space jumps."

"Now, can it be started?"

"Okay, just..."

"Immediately carry out the preparations before the space jump, and start it immediately after you have full control."

"But……"

"This is an order, execute it."

Allen didn't talk too much, and started to activate the space jumping device according to Yang Yi's instructions.

"Look at it."

Hearing Shen Chengwen's words, Yang Yi and others looked out the porthole.

The "Tianjiao" was mixed in the fleeing team, surrounded by all kinds of pirate ships, and most of them were small spaceships comparable to the "Tianjiao".In fact, compared with the surrounding pirate ships, the "Tianjiao" is the smallest spaceship, and also the most inconspicuous one.

Although the "Tianjiao" maintained its speed and was still accelerating slowly, several small spaceships had already started to slow down.

That's not a good sign.

Although gravity is transmitted through the gravitational field, and the transmission speed of the gravitational field is the speed of light, the space distortion caused by the black hole is a quantum effect, that is, it is not limited by the speed of light.In other words, those spacecraft that started to slow down were affected by space distortion, and their own thrust could not offset the resistance caused by space distortion.

In this race against the speed of light, slowing down means losing.

Not to mention those pirate ships, even the "Tianjiao", as long as it starts to slow down, it means that it cannot escape, and then it will fall into the black hole.

In the surrounding area, more and more spaceships began to slow down, and even the few spaceships that were still accelerating had a much lower acceleration.

"Aaron, control your speed."

"Major?"

"Don't fly too fast." Yang Yi reminded Allen.

Now, what needs to be considered is not only the black hole behind, but also the battleship of the Hidden Spirit Race.If the "Tianjiao" rushed to the front, no matter how inconspicuous its appearance, it would be targeted by that warship.The enemy directly destroyed the star, and input enough energy into the star to turn it into a black hole, so a spaceship would not be spared.As long as the "Tianjiao" flies too fast, it will be directly destroyed by enemy ships.

Fortunately, thousands of pirate ships escaped from the space fortress, and thousands of small pirate ships flew ahead.Although many pirate ships have fallen behind, there are still hundreds of pirate ships struggling to resist, among which the "Tianjiao" is not conspicuous.

"Major, the original energy fluctuation was detected."

"what?"

"In front, the distance is less than 1000 million kilometers, and it is preliminarily inferred to be the original energy wall."

Yang Yi was startled, but didn't react immediately.

"Slow down!" Lin Feng suddenly came back to his senses and gave Alan an order.

"Colonel..."

"It's now, slow down!"

Under Allen's control, the "Tianjiao" began to slow down.Because many pirate ships have slowed down, the "Tianjiao" is not outstanding.

At this time, Yang Yi and others also reacted.

The original energy fluctuation ahead is actually an original energy barrier.Obviously, the battleship of the Hidden Spirit Race didn't want a spaceship to escape from here, but it was obviously a very troublesome thing to deal with the fleeing pirate ship with ordinary weapons, so it created this original energy barrier.

Blocked by the energy barrier, not a single pirate ship was able to escape.

Even after hitting the original energy barrier, the pirate ship will not be destroyed, but if it is blocked, its speed will definitely decrease, and then it will fall into the black hole.

Not long after, the few pirate ships flying in the front collided with the original energy barrier.Three of them exploded immediately, and the speed of the others also decreased significantly.

Almost at the same time, a cry for help came from the loudspeaker.

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that it was Yujiao who turned on the loudspeaker and connected to the public communication channel.

It was the cries for help from the pirates on the pirate ships. They were very desperate, and some even cried loudly, but they were mostly cursing.

"Alan?"

"Major, I have mastered the space jumping device. Although I can't guarantee that I can control it [-]%, I can already operate it."

Yang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, finally he did not wait in vain.

"Major, start now?"

"No, wait for my order."

Lin Feng and the others were startled, and looked at Yang Yi in disbelief.The black hole has already formed, if you don’t escape now, when will you have to wait?
Even Yujiao was surprised, but didn't say much.

"Allen, display the no-escape area on the screen, dynamic information, and update the changes at any time."

"clear."

On the screen, a red area that expanded at an extremely fast speed appeared.

In the rear, the space fortress is already within the red zone, and most of the pirate ships that started to slow down before have also fallen into the red zone.

Because of the deceleration, the "Tianjiao" is not far from the red area.

"Major, there are still 15 seconds."

"How long does it take to activate the space jump device and enter the jump channel?"

"Not more than five seconds."

"Start the countdown."

"Twelve, eleven...seven, six..."

"Start, start now!"

In front of the "Tianjiao", an extremely bright white light spot appeared, and then expanded to become the entrance of the space jumping channel.

At the same time, several similar light spots appeared nearby.

Obviously, "Tianjiao" was not the only one that activated the space jumping device at the last minute.Although the space jumping devices on those pirate ships are not as advanced as the "Tianjiao", and they cannot ensure that the exit is opened in the correct place, but compared to falling into a black hole, taking a risky space jump at least has the hope of surviving, even if it is extremely slim.

In fact, at this time, others already understood Yang Yi's intentions.

The warship of the Hidden Spirit Race obviously anticipated what might happen after launching the attack, and made full preparations, such as creating the original energy barrier to prevent the pirate ship from escaping.Obviously, the enemy ship must be watching all the fleeing pirate ships and is ready to attack.As long as a pirate ship breaks through the original energy barrier, it will be attacked.In addition, if a pirate ship activates the space jumping device, it will definitely be discovered if it enters the space jumping channel.Obviously, if the "Tianjiao" made a space jump in advance, it would be targeted by enemy ships.Space jumping with other pirate ships, even if it will be targeted, at least it will not attract attention.

In the eyes of the enemy, the "Tianjiao" is no different from other pirate ships, and the space jump at this time is just a struggle before death.

As the "Tianjiao" entered, the white light flickered and the space channel was closed.
