Chapter 394: On the Verge of Breaking Out!

Of course people want to escape quickly.

But the size and mass of the "Deep Space" are so large, which means... its acceleration must be very limited, at most 1 meter per second squared.

Forty kilometers, a volume of 10 billion tons is placed here. If the acceleration is higher, both the hull material and the engine will not be able to withstand it.

It is impossible for it to roar with dozens of g acceleration like a small spacecraft. It can only accelerate slowly bit by bit, like a snail crawling.

In fact, this acceleration is not slow, but compared with the vast universe, it is still far from enough.

"How about it, still can't use the curvature engine?"

In just this period of time, Yu Yifeng has devoted himself to this escape mission.

He saw that the "Dig 114" still looked so huge, and felt that his spacecraft had not moved at all, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and there was a heavy feeling like the abyss. This kind of heaviness could explode at any time, dragging everyone into the abyss...

"Too slow, flying too slowly... Isn't this deliberately letting others catch up?" Yu Yifeng knocked on the table impatiently, and began to urge the experts in charge of the engine.

Yu Yifeng knew in his heart that the acceleration of 1 meter per second squared was far beyond the rated standard. The entire Deep Space was shaking "buzzing", and it was impossible to go faster.

"No, Captain, the curvature engine can never be used. It's not long since we left the planet... It's too difficult!" The middle-aged man on the screen said while grabbing his hair, obviously under great pressure.

As he said this, he also grabbed a few strands of his hair.

"The curvature of space here is too great... It will explode!"

"Or... There is a probability of more than 98% that it will explode! No, the curvature engine must not be used!" The expert shook his head in distress: "Generally speaking, we need to be more than 3 million kilometers away from the planet to maintain a high success rate... That is, it takes 22 hours of emergency acceleration!"

The computer nearby was frantically calculating various orbits and various probability problems.

Another expert shouted, "Yes, the current risk is too great... The farther away from the planet, the greater the success rate of our curvature navigation."

Yu Yifeng frowned tightly, the probability of explosion of more than 98% was too terrifying.

He really didn't dare to take this risk...

The urging was fruitless, and he had no choice but to wait anxiously for the Deep Space to slowly move away.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

Time passed by, and Yu Yifeng and his team had set off for 8 hours and flew more than 400,000 kilometers...

People's detectors finally observed some sub-light speed individuals!

Then, within 20 minutes, a bright light spot appeared 6 billion kilometers away!

It was the light spot of the curvature engine explosion...

A very unlucky enemy drone hit a celestial body similar to the Kuiper Belt, and a violent explosion occurred after the curvature bubble was broken.

This time, the observation of the light spot made everyone extremely nervous, and everyone felt the atmosphere of war.

"The enemy's speed is about 0.8 times the speed of light! Too fast... No, it is decelerating very quickly!"

Professor Thomson, who is in charge of astronomical observation, said in surprise at a very fast speed: "No, no, no, this deceleration is definitely far beyond the safety standard... No matter how advanced the technology is, it can't be like this!"

As he was talking, various dense explosion light spots appeared on the observatory one after another.

These light spots are all caused by the shattering of curvature bubbles caused by forced deceleration. In just half an hour, a total of two or three hundred exploded!

Of course, there are also a large number of enemy drones hidden in the dark space. At such a long distance, it is difficult for people to observe them clearly. They can only be vaguely perceived through the infrared rays emitted by the engine.

Even because of their small mass, most spacecraft are difficult to observe even with gravitational wave telescopes...

The largest light group... has reached 40 kilometers!

These are all spacecraft that can move at superluminal speeds. They exploded just because they did not meet the safety standards. People can't help but be secretly shocked. Such a powerful lineup is simply trying to use industrial capacity to smash the new human civilization to death...

"Fortunately, a large number of drones self-destructed because the curvature bubble was broken..."

"Don't worry about your life. Such crazy deceleration, the curvature bubble broke abruptly, it's all about probability... The curvature engine can't handle it, and most of the opponent's drones will be damaged in this wave of deceleration!"

"Even if it's not damaged, the curvature engine must be repaired before it can be activated..." Several scientists saw this scene and discussed excitedly.

"... The coordinates and orientation... are correct! It's that coordinate! The coordinate we got!"

Some optimists believe that these light spots are densely packed like a firework... Fireworks to send people off.

But Yu Yifeng doesn't think so. He is worried...

These few hours are far from enough for the Deep Space to sail to the safe limit of deploying the curvature engine!

More than 400,000 kilometers is still too close. If the curvature engine is activated, it is likely to explode directly. At that time, even if the Deep Space is not completely destroyed, there is no way to escape.

In his opinion, these light spots bring endless murderous intent.

The killing brought by the war has enveloped the hearts of all soldiers!

Yu Yifeng gritted his teeth, and a bit of ferocity appeared on his face. Since it was a competition of probability, the other party must have a certain degree of confidence!

An interstellar civilization, developed to a higher level than humans, must have countless amazing talents. They are definitely not stupider than humans, but more proficient in calculations and more aware of cosmic wars than humans.

The other party observed the Deep Space in advance, and must have studied the specific technological level. They are sure that they can defeat humans, so they will make such a crazy move that looks like suicide...

Because there will always be spaceships that survive under small probability conditions, and these surviving unmanned spaceships will be the biggest enemy people face!

The other party may think that as long as these surviving spaceships can defeat or delay the Deep Space...

Moreover, such a crazy move can only mean that... the value of Gaia creatures in the enemy's heart is far greater than these expendable drones!

He sighed heavily and stabilized his mood.

"Titan, Deep Space, start firing long-range lasers, others are on standby!"

"Deep Space, make an evasive gesture!"

When both sides observed each other, the war had already begun. Scattered light-speed weapons began to fire at each other. Of course, because of the large distance, there was no firepower network, and basically no hit.

Even so, both sides still had to try. If they hit, it would be great luck and they could take a certain advantage.

Yu Yifeng clenched his fists with both hands, and said, "Be patient, be patient. It's not time to fire a large number of electromagnetic cannons!"

Electromagnetic cannons are not lasers. They have limited speed and quantity, and cannot be fired at will.

The universe is really too big. No matter how many shells are poured, it is just a drop in the ocean. It is almost impossible to fill the entire target area with shells! So... the distance between the two sides must be close enough for the electromagnetic cannon to have enough accuracy.

Be patient, be patient!

Things have come to this point, you must keep your composure!

At 0.8 times the speed of light, it takes about 6.94 hours to travel 6 billion kilometers. Considering the large delay in observation information and the fact that the opponent is slowing down, the battle is likely to start within two hours within the 3 million kilometers of "Dig 114".

The first battle at that time will be between the drones of both sides...

Crazy fighting!

In this tense moment, even the calmest people can't stay calm. Many members of the think tank have gathered in the captain's room. They are silent, just observing and waiting silently.

Waiting for the opponent to approach, waiting for the best time.

People have done their best, there is no more way.

The war is about to start!
