Chapter 46 Star Trek

In the beautiful and lonely night sky, a Silver Shuttle battleship is sailing quietly. This is one of the most advanced exploration battleships of the Silver Alliance, designed to explore the unknown star field.

This is a star field far away from the human world.

Meng Tian opened his eyes from his deep sleep, took a deep breath, and waved his hand gently, waking up the light in the bedroom and dispelling the memories of the dream in his mind.

The Tianxun connected to the battleship's external network popped up a light screen, showing the current situation.

Battleship time 23:30.

The environment mimics late night.

Planned mission: 24:00 command module.

Meng Tian got off the bed and stepped on the cold ship deck with his bare feet, driving away the hazy feeling of waking up.

Lately, I have been dreaming about the past. The further away I am, the less calm I become. Meng Tian smiled mockingly to himself.

Taking off his tight combat vest, Meng Tian walked into the checkered bathroom that could only accommodate one person. Even if he was sleeping, he had to be in a state where he could wake up and join the battle at any time. Only when taking a bath could he indulge a little.

The water slid down from the wet body, bringing true sobriety.

Battleship time 23:55 minutes.

Meng Tian arrived at the command module on time.

"Meng Tian." Captain Cameron smiled and nodded to her.

"Major General Cameron." Meng Tian saluted straightly without any slack. In the army, if female officers want to gain their due status, they must be stricter and stronger than men.

"Very good. From 24:00 to 5:00, the battleship will be driven by you. The route has been entered into the autopilot system. Your task is to correct the details at any time based on the actual situation." Cameron explained the task.

"yes."

Meng Tian looked at the time and waited until the seconds jumped to 24 o'clock before he stepped forward and handed over authority to the captain, Rear Admiral Cameron.

Standard docking procedures, determining routes, determining autonomous driving safety locks, temporary dynamic key permissions...

After completing the handover, McCarron confirmed again before leaving the command module.

Meng Tian sat in the captain's main driving position, once again confirmed the current status of the battleship, then opened the star map, and with the authority of the temporary captain, continuously recorded the current route and star map reference objects.

Also recorded was the adjutant Norm in the passenger seat.

Everyone sticks to their posts carefully.

Because this is a completely unfamiliar star field, and they are the first humans to set foot here.

Three weeks ago, the expedition fleet detected a wormhole signal in this star field, and Meng Tian's battleship was sent to conduct preliminary reconnaissance.

Every wormhole is a great discovery and a shortcut across the star field. In a few seconds, it can travel hundreds or even thousands of light years. Of course, this is when it is well constructed.

Navigating in unfamiliar star fields, black holes, interstellar magnetic storms, etc. are extremely dangerous.

Losing the route is the most terrifying thing. Once there is a problem in a certain recording link and the original reference point on the star map cannot be confirmed, the entire universe will become your enemy. This is the same as when humans lost their way on the ocean in the primitive period. , but the sea has an end, but the universe does not.

Therefore, simultaneous recording by the captain and first mate, as well as automatic recording by the battleship, are standard expedition procedures, but they are not completely safe. Interstellar storms can always cause the fleet to deviate from the planned route and destroy the reference points of the star chart. Many times , we have to rely on the captain's instinct and experience.

Norm glanced at Meng Tian with a complicated expression. Usually, he was responsible for driving when Cameron took a break.

But as Meng Tian showed more and more abilities, Cameron relied more and more on her abilities. As a captain, he admired Meng Tian's calmness and lack of distractions. In such a dangerous voyage, only Meng Tian could Always stay focused.

Norm was still uncomfortable, feeling that his first officer's authority had been offended.

But he is an academic elite, has no shortcomings in all aspects of ability, is good-looking and popular, and his scores in several simulations far exceed him.

Norm's only advantage is his seniority, which is obviously of no use.

"The ER-type star has been discovered, which can be used as a reference coordinate for the star map. The energy panel is ready to be opened. The secondary shield is tested. The test results are good. Increase the shield to the maximum consumption..."

Meng Tian methodically recorded the various parameters of the star on the star chart.

When passing by a star, the opened energy plate absorbs the star's radiation, converts it into standard energy at a certain rate, and stores it. Abundant energy is the guarantee for deep space exploration and navigation. The exploration spacecraft will not let go of anyone who can store energy. Chance.

Ten minutes later, the battleship that completed the star map recording began to accelerate. The battleship circled an arc orbit, trying to escape the gravity of the star and accelerate outward.

"About to reach breakaway velocity."

Everyone opened their eyes wide and completed their tasks carefully. No one could confirm that this was a safe route. You must know that each of the safe routes for non-curvature navigation in deep space was created by countless explorers. Painted with blood and tears.

The sergeant in charge of the scanning wiped his sweat-free forehead from time to time. This action could relax his spirit a little.

The battleship bypassed the gravitational line of the star. Just when the battleship was about to break away, the viewfinder window of the command module suddenly lit up, and the optical telescope captured a large amount of matter, buzz——

A piercing alarm sounded in the command module, "Extreme danger! Extreme danger!"

"Enlarge the screen!"

Following the order, the picture captured by the viewfinder telescope became clear. A ring composed of countless meteorites blocked the battleship's flight track. Captured by the gravity of the star, these meteorites were falling into the star at high speed. The direction in which the battleship accelerated away was facing the meteorite belt.

"How could such a large meteorite belt not be detected in the scan?" Kananjiqi jumped up and shouted!

"Blind spots caused by regional stellar storms!"

The sergeant in charge of the scan looked at his screen with a pale face. It was still blank, and the existence of those meteorites could not be seen. Theoretically, it had been done countless times, but when it was actually encountered, it still felt fatal. disaster.

The battleship continues to accelerate. According to the current speed, the battleship will hit this meteorite in one minute.

Completely different from the meteorite belt, this meteorite is a high-speed meteorite being captured by the gravity of the star. Even the smallest one, the impact of the collision is equivalent to a bombardment from the main gun of the top warships of various countries.

Looking at the picture of meteorites captured through the viewfinder, at this moment, two meteorites, one large and one small, were gently brushing against each other under the gravity of the star. There was not much violent collision, but the two meteorites violently collided. Burst open!

Seeing this scene, the entire command cabin was stunned. There were actually high-energy ores hidden among these meteorites. In the unstable state close to the star, the unstable shape of the ores would be equivalent to detonating with just a slight collision. A nuclear bomb.

It's over, at this distance and at this speed, they will definitely hit this high-speed meteorite belt that is crashing into the star.

There's no way to escape! With the defense of the God-class battleship, high-speed meteorites alone are already a fatal danger, coupled with the unstable energy mineral meteorites hidden in them...

The shadow of death suddenly made everyone speechless.

"Inform the captain!" He had no time or energy to blame the scanning sergeant who was responsible for this. Norm pressed the captain's communicator immediately, but there was a burst of noise from the communicator.

The strange stellar storm interfered with scanning and affected the operation of all communication equipment.

"Execute standard avoidance procedures, bypass the meteorite belt, and continue orbiting the star."

Norm's face turned pale and he subconsciously issued the order. It wasn't until he finished speaking that he realized that he was sitting in the co-pilot position and did not have the captain's authority key to complete it.

After realizing that Norm's order could not be completed, everyone in the command module woke up and turned to look at Meng Tian, ​​who should make the most noise at this time.

what is she doing? Are you scared out of your wits? Except for the order to enlarge the image at the beginning, no other sound was made. After all, he was just an academic studying hard. When he encountered the real danger of reality, he was stupid!

At this time, Meng Tian was still making gestures on a light screen...

The entire command cabin is in despair!

He was dead, unable to contact the captain, and the agent with captain authority was still doing arithmetic thinking it was an academy assignment!

Is this girl really trustworthy?
