"Wow, look how impressive you are! Why don't you even look at what's going on?"
Qin Ge pointed to the small square screen in the upper right corner of the large screen.
A vortex of deep blue and light purple, filled with fragments, slowly appeared on the screen. The closer you got, the larger the vortex became, and you could vaguely see the flying fragments and planets of all sizes inside. The beautiful colors attracted the attention of many people.
"My God, this is so beautiful!"
"It is said that this was formed millions of years ago after the Big Bang of the Lona galaxy..."
"It's so beautiful. To see such a beautiful view, I would die happy."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you spouting!" Yu Wei slapped the driver on the head. "You jinx! What do you mean by 'die'?"
"It's just an exaggeration." The driver scratched the back of his head. "The general is being too superstitious. Superstition is no good. We should believe in science, okay?"
Yu Wei looked at the screen and clicked his tongue in admiration. He had only seen such things in books and materials before, and seeing them in person now was truly amazing.
"Wait, something's wrong! Look there!" Qin Ge pointed at the screen. "Something's not right!"
Yu Wei looked closely and, good heavens, a dark object was moving rapidly toward the transport ship.
Although it wasn't very clear, there were faint bands of light reflecting off the surrounding area, which strongly suggested it was a meteorite.
Everyone tensed up, staring at Yu Wei and awaiting instructions.
"Disengage autopilot and turn 15 degrees to the left..."
Several drivers quickly maneuvered the steering wheel to control the position of the transport ship.
"Clang... Swish..."
The outer shell grazed past the rapidly approaching meteorite, making a loud noise. The transport ship swayed slightly but continued forward.
"Activate the external environment monitoring system." Yu Wei picked up the walkie-talkie, staring at the screen while calling the reconnaissance ship ahead: "Z71, Z71, report the situation."
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
Only the static of the radio could be heard. Yu Wei couldn't help but call out again, "Z71, respond if you hear me..."
"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle..."
The hum of electricity lingered in the silent control room, sending a chill down the spine.
"Report! The monitoring report is out." A soldier broke the silence, pointing to the screen: "The route ahead crosses an asteroid and meteorite belt, and there may be radioactive material affecting communications."
The situation ahead is complex, and the ship is far from several planets. Moreover, the reconnaissance ship is not carrying food or water. Once it loses contact with the main ship, the crew will have virtually no chance of survival.
"Calling Z72, calling Z72..."
"Hiss... hiss... sizzle..."
Everyone held their breath, harboring suspicions but unwilling to believe them.
"Buzz...buzz...This is Z72..."
"call……"
With his heart at ease, Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "There are asteroids and asteroid belts ahead. For safety reasons, all crew members of the Z72 reconnaissance ship shall return immediately."
"receive!"
Z72 was already on its way back to the main ship when it successfully landed inside the main ship's cabin shortly afterward, with both crew members unharmed.
"H11, H12, H13, H14, immediately move within five meters of the main ship, ensure that your speed matches that of the main ship, and ensure that your communication equipment is connected to the main ship."
H11 received!
H12 received!
H13 received!
H14 received!
The escort ships, scattered by the meteorite, quickly converged on the main ship, and communication became much smoother.
"Reports from each department head."
"Logistics Department: Engines are running normally, and energy and supplies are sufficient."
"Escort team: Everything is normal."
"Strengthen security."
"receive."
"The escort fleet's communication system and monitoring system are normal. Level 1 alert has been activated."
"Central control room, communication system normal, internal and external environmental monitoring system normal..."
Putting down the walkie-talkie, Yu Wei directed operations while looking at the screen.
"Disable autopilot, turn headlights to maximum brightness, and choose the shortest route to leave..."
"General Yu, the shortest route is too dangerous." The driver pointed to the report: "This is the area with the highest concentration of meteorites, and the meteorites are moving at even faster speeds."
"Fortune favors the bold." Yu Wei glanced at the report casually and put it down immediately. "Listen to me, full speed ahead."
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
These kinds of places are perfect for hiding people; you never know which rock might be hiding someone, waiting to trap them like a turtle in a jar.
However, this is a necessary stop on the headquarters' planned route. If we rashly deviate from the route, not only may our arrival be delayed, but everyone involved may also be punished.
The transport ship roared along, the scenery outside the window constantly receding, and before long, it entered the outermost circle.
The inside of the vortex was not as beautiful as it looked from afar; it was pitch black, and the light from the transport ship did not reach far before being completely swallowed by the darkness.
On the circular scan image, red dots flashed continuously, making the green dots stand out conspicuously.
"Calling H11, calling H11, target 11 degrees 15 minutes west of north, short-range missile preparation..."
"Received, missile ready..."
Yu Wei stared intently at the approaching red dot on the screen. As soon as it entered firing range, he immediately issued the command.
"emission!"
"Bang!"
The powerful missile instantly destroyed the incoming meteorite, blooming into a golden rose in front of it. As the golden light spread, the people in the cockpit instinctively recognized the faces and raised their hands to shield their eyes.
"Splash, splash..."
Countless fragments struck the ship's hull, like raindrops hitting the outer shell of the transport vessel.
"H12, 37.15 degrees east of north, prepare..."
