Chapter 445: Subspace Navigation

Of course, this is just a trial voyage, and all those who drive the ships are employees under Li Xin's command.

Although many crew members have been trained and have even driven ships for some time, sailing an entire small fleet still requires practice.

The fleet includes three Obedience-class destroyers, six Boom-class torpedo boats, and ten Basic-class frigates.

There are also five space engineering ships, two colonization ships, and one landing ship.

This was the original configuration. Later, Qi Yun added a high-speed reconnaissance ship for Li Xin to use for communication and reconnaissance activities between galaxies.

These are all the ships Li Xin owns at this time.

After all ships have completed self-inspections and their navigation systems and weapon systems are in the best condition.

The power engine started working, and the fleet slowly left the star base and traveled in space.

This time they are also going to take a short journey through subspace to test the work ability of all crew members.

After driving some distance from the star base, staff officers began to report: "We have arrived at the scheduled shuttle location!"

"Apply for entry into subspace!"

Li Xin on the mechanical throne nodded slightly and said, "Approved!"

At the same time as Li Xin approved it, the warp jump engine on the ship began to work. The huge energy attracted the warp, wrapped around the ship, and made the ship and the warp begin to synchronize.

"Attention all units, about to enter the subspace!"

Inside the ship, there were red signal lights and alarm sounds everywhere. All the crew members, no matter what they were doing before, now tried their best to keep their positions.

In front of the ship, the barrier between the real universe and the subspace rippled like water waves, and the ship drove straight into the subspace.

Li Xin, sitting on the mechanical throne, is both the commander and the navigator of the fleet.

If you want to navigate in the warp, you can only find the correct route with the guidance of a powerful psychic.

Compared with the universe, the subspace appears to be more disordered and chaotic. In most places, there is no concept of time and space.

However, in some places with high concentration of spiritual energy, time and space lose their meaning.

The past, present and future may appear at the same time, and the space will continue to fold and twist, giving people a feeling of being disorganized and lost.

When Li Xin drove the ship into the subspace for the first time, he felt that the world around him was turned upside down, he himself exploded and was compressed, and he even saw different worlds, different races, and scenes of life in which he didn't know what world it was.

Among them is the human world, as well as unknown alien races.

Once again steering the ship into the subspace, Li Xin guided the direction of the ship. This was an extraordinary pressure for him, a Class B psychic.

The subspace is filled with various colorful and chaotic energy flows, red, pink, blue, yellow, etc.

These energy flows are as dangerous as the undercurrents in the ocean faced by ordinary mortals.

They will continue to rotate, twist, and intertwine, sometimes forming a rushing river that surges towards an unknown direction.

Sometimes they would intertwine and entwine together, forming a vortex-like shape, in which the light flickered and the color kept changing, with no fixed shape or pattern.

Many warp demons may be hidden in these chaotic energy flows.

The essence of the Warp Demon is composed of psychic energy and chaotic power. Some demons have physical bodies, such as the Corona Faith Demons that Li Xin once fought against, or those Order-loving demons.

But more demons have no physical bodies, and they wander between energy flows.

These daemons can use the disorder of Chaos to avoid danger, launch surprise attacks on enemies passing through the Warp, and so on.

For psychics, demons with physical bodies are very dangerous, and demons without bodies but only psychic power and energy flow are equally dangerous.

Li Xin guided the fleet to sail in the subspace, manipulating the ships to avoid chaotic and disordered energy flows while accelerating their flight.

The fleet avoids most of the energy undercurrents, but sometimes it will get close to them and use these energy flows to speed up its own shuttle voyage.

On the outside of the ship, there is a special force field, which is the Geller force field.

This is one of the necessary means for humans to protect themselves. Not all the people on the ship are psychics, there are more ordinary humans.

Their souls are fragile, not even as strong as a candle in the warp. Without protection, they may go out at any time.

Even if there are psychics, they should try their best to reduce the probability of using psychic powers in the subspace.

Because once the warp demons are attracted, it will be a big problem. At the very least, a few people will die, and at the worst, the entire fleet may be destroyed.

The Geller Field is a special product invented by humans for navigation in the subspace. It can isolate human signals and protect ships from being discovered and attacked by demons.

However, this protection is not absolute. Generally speaking, the longer the voyage, the more subspace energy flows are experienced, and the weaker the protection becomes.

In the end, even if the Geller Field still protects the ship, there may already be Warp Daemons lurking on board.

It is normal for a few people to be lost on a long-distance voyage. Sometimes, even the entire ship, under the instigation of the devil, begins to kill each other crazily.

Of course, if it is just a short-distance voyage, the probability of this happening is still very small.

On the mechanical throne, Li Xin looked at the star map given to him by Qi Yun, and relied on these star maps to determine his route.

The subspace is disordered, and it is impossible to rely solely on star maps, so he often uses psychic power to open a window to the real universe and observe his position in the real universe.

This was not enough. Li Xin looked in a certain direction of the subspace, where there was a bright light. It was a small star-district-level psychic lighthouse built in the star field of the blueprint.

Powerful psykers stimulate psychic energy to provide directional guidance and landmarks for ships sailing in the warp to help the ships navigate.

It is precisely because of so many methods and techniques that humans are able to pilot ships, navigate the dangerous subspace, and travel through extremely distant galaxies.

Just like the great voyages of ancient times, new colonies will be established on various planets in the universe.
