Chapter 286 Unknown Interference
Driven by conventional engines, the fleet slowly left the Swamp Abyss.
After a certain distance from the Swamp Abyss, the antimatter acceleration engine suddenly started.
In the increasingly strong light and waves of gamma rays, the huge fleet began to accelerate towards the outside of the star system.
The free trade market is 59.7 light years away.
Whether it is the escort fleet or the colony ship, the maximum sailing speed of these starships of the fifth-level civilization is around 10 times the speed of light.
In other words, this population migration will take at least 6 years.
For this reason, according to the original plan, the colony ships of the migration fleet will be filled with various life-sustaining supplies-each young salamander will spend a long interstellar journey in the hibernation cabin.
But now...
The [Empty Package] plan has been implemented, and there are almost no extra supplies in these colony ships.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is nothing.
In order to get away with it, in addition to tens of thousands of Swamp Abyss youths who serve as "samples", the entire migration fleet also stores nearly 100 million "dummy people".
Chen Fan, who was in the investigator starship, could not understand this kind of behavior of covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
After all...
these simulated giant salamanders are too fake.
Apart from simulated breathing, simulated body temperature and simulated heartbeat, these simulated giant salamanders are basically no different from toys. Normal people can see the problem with just a glance.
After learning about Chen Fan's confusion, Olaya, who had been to the free trade market twice, answered his doubts for him.
"The free trade market has a security inspection system. If you want to enter the free trade market, you must at least deceive the security inspection system."
Olaya said: "But... the types of civilizations within the Bray Alliance are too complicated, and the flow of people in the free trade market is quite large. The difficulty of manufacturing a precise security inspection system seems a bit large."
"So..." Olaya shrugged, "You know, the accuracy of that thing is quite poor. It basically only detects body temperature, breathing and heartbeat. As long as it meets the preset civilization standards, it will not make any interception actions."
Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.
After hearing this, he realized what level of technology was hidden behind the Human Alliance's Star Gate - if the number of civilizations within the Bray Alliance is a handful of fine sand, then the number of civilizations in the Human Alliance's Pan-Universe can definitely be called a desert with no end in sight!
Even so, the Star Gate can still complete extremely high-precision scanning and security inspection procedures at an extremely fast speed.
It is difficult to describe the technological gap between the two with a chasm!
"What about the transaction process?"
Chen Fan asked Olaya in the communication channel again: "Won't the Bray civilization find out about these dummies?"
"Oh!" Olaya smiled and shook his head, "How could the Bray civilization check such things?"
"In this galaxy, which civilization dares to deceive the Bray civilization?"
Chen Fan was speechless.
It seems to be true.
In the Bray galaxy, the seventh-level Bray civilization is already considered a local emperor.
Olaya's voice continued: "In order to reduce the consumption of life-sustaining materials, the Swamp People in the colony ships will remain in hibernation. Usually, they will only be awakened after arriving at the final destination."
"The final destination..."
"Yes, it is the territory of the Bray civilization." Olaya shrugged. "The Bray civilization usually packs up these colony ships and takes them away. Of course, the Bray civilization will pay us a considerable amount of compensation, and we can still make a lot of money overall."
"We can completely buy a new batch of starships in the free trade market."
Chen Fan, whose confusion was answered, breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and glanced at the distance between the fleet and the Swamp Star, and then issued an order to Olaya.
"Notify the fleet to prepare to enter the curvature navigation state."
Six years of sailing time is too long, and Chen Fan naturally cannot waste his time on such a meaningless journey.
So, in the extremely surprised eyes of Olaya, he said with a relaxed expression: "I will open a wormhole for you."
...
Buzz...
Strong space-time fluctuations flashed in the dim universe. Led by a khaki starship, the huge fleet disappeared into a mysterious spherical curved space.
After a short wait, the spherical curved space suddenly dissipated, and the turbulent space-time ocean gradually returned to tranquility.
"Follow closely, I am not responsible for finding you if you get lost!"
Chen Fan looked serious and issued instructions to the fleet behind him on the communication channel.
Although the Varela can generate a high-dimensional information filtering barrier that can cover the migrating fleet, and the wormhole generation and stabilization device can also filter high-dimensional information to a certain extent, for safety reasons, Chen Fan still repeatedly warned in the communication channel:
"Pay attention one by one, keep your eyes on the nose and your nose on the heart, and don't look out of the porthole for no reason!"
"I'm talking to you, Captain Olaya!"
As he said, in the strange eyes of Gao Yuan and Isa, Chen Fan raised his head indifferently and glanced at the bizarre wormhole channel outside the porthole.
Well...
except him.
I don't know why, after several resonances, he not only did not feel any fear of the five-dimensional space, but also developed a strong interest in the five-dimensional space.
This kind of beauty that cannot be described in words, and the sense of freedom without restraint...
all made him feel intoxicated.
He once suspected that he was a free five-dimensional creature in his previous life.
——Of course, in the words of Academician Wang Jing, he was just courting death.
It's like...
Although he knew that the socket had electricity, he was still thinking about touching it to try out the so-called feel.
The bizarre images outside the porthole were rapidly moving. For a wormhole jump, the distance of 59.7 light years was nothing.
Just when he was about to wait for the wormhole exit to appear, a violent vibration came from the deck under his feet.
"Beep-beep-beep!"
A long, sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the cockpit of the Varela, and the azure blue holographic interface on the main console instantly turned blood red!
Looking at the red exclamation marks, Chen Fan's face suddenly changed!
Fuck, this fucking thing could also go wrong? !
"One?!"
Chen Fan steadied himself and asked One, "What's going on?!"
"Unknown interference!"
The electronic synthesized voice was a bit hurried and anxious: "The starship has been interfered with by unknown interference!"
"The stability of the wormhole is declining sharply, the current stability: 97%."
"95%! 90%!"
"85%!!"
The scarlet numbers fell rapidly, the shaking of the starship began to gradually intensify, and Olaya's terrified voice was heard in the communication channel: "Sir Chen Fan, is this, is this normal?!"
"Fuck normal!" Looking
at the wormhole stability that has gradually fallen to 70%, Chen Fan shouted: "The wormhole has been interfered with by unknown interference!"
"Hold on tight, open the control authority of all starships in the fleet!"
Seeing Olaya began to execute his orders in a hurry, Chen Fan looked down at the smart terminal on his right hand: "One, what should I do now?!"
"This machine is trying to maintain the wormhole."
Yi responded: "Once the wormhole stability drops by 60%, the shipboard main brain will directly initiate the emergency landing procedure."
In the holographic interface, the bright red wormhole stability number began to slowly rise to 80%, and the shaking of the investigator starship began to gradually slow down.
Seeing that the situation began to improve, Chen Fan exhaled the turbid air that was stuck in his chest: "What is going on?"
"Insufficient data, this machine cannot make an accurate judgment."
Chen Fan's face was gloomy: "Could it be a natural factor such as an extreme celestial body?"
"Theoretically impossible." Yi denied Chen Fan's words, "The wormhole generation and stabilization device of the investigator starship is quite advanced, and there are no extreme celestial bodies of this degree in the normal universe."
"It's not a natural factor..." Chen Fan's face became more and more ugly, "Then it must be a human factor."
"Which advanced civilization has shot us?"
Yi did not reply, which was regarded as tacitly agreeing with Chen Fan's words.
[Wormhole stability: 85%]
Just when Chen Fan wanted to say something else, the stability in the holographic panel suddenly stopped rising.
Chen Fan swallowed lightly, and an inexplicable palpitation suddenly surged into his heart.
Good fortune came to him, and he did not hesitate, and directly followed his heart and gave orders to Xiang Yi:
"Quick! Leave the wormhole!!"
"Emergency landing!"
"Emergency landing!!!"
Before the voice fell, the number symbolizing the stability of the wormhole jumped suddenly.
[Wormhole stability: 60%! ]
Cliff-like plunge! !
A violent tremor came from the deck under his feet! !
With the continuous and rhythmic alarm sound, the scene outside the porthole began to become chaotic! !
[Emergency landing procedure has been initiated...]
In the holographic panel, a line of text flashed quietly, and the shipboard main brain had begun to execute the emergency landing procedure.
...
A deep and nameless star field.
The ocean of time and space was like an ancient well, without the slightest fluctuation.
Suddenly, as if a huge rock hit the water, the calm ocean of time and space instantly set off a huge wave!
Under the violent distortion of space, as if it was attacked by something invisible, a meteorite with a diameter of several kilometers suddenly exploded and turned into countless fine interstellar dust.
A few seconds later.
A huge fleet appeared in this empty star field in a panic.
There was chaos inside the fleet, and even the tails of many starships were flashing dazzling explosions.
It seemed that...
this fleet had encountered some incredible attack.
As the fleet appeared in this star field, the turbulent waves in the ocean of time and space gradually subsided and returned to their previous state.
A khaki starship quietly hovered in front of the fleet, and the pale golden shield around it flickered, as if easing something.
Inside the khaki starship, Chen Fan and two assistants looked at the porthole in front of them in shock.
Just now, they experienced the most dangerous situation in interstellar navigation.
- Wormhole collapse!
It took several seconds for the wormhole stability to drop from 100% to 70%, and it took less than half a second to go from 60% to zero!
Fortunately, Chen Fan issued an emergency landing order in advance, otherwise...
the entire fleet would have been buried in the space-time undercurrent formed by the collapse of the wormhole! !
