Chapter 295 Moving Forward Around the Star Ring
Enwei IV, this is an ancient giant star, its body is almost gaseous, but the high-pressure interior has quite good gravity, but this is not within the range of star gravity, it is a free child, and separated from its brothers and sisters, if hundreds of millions of years pass, it may become a star, and then give birth to a new star system, but it has nothing to do with the empire, and even less with Alanbair.
The lord of the empire only knows that from the window of the battleship, this pale blue spiral planet looks beautiful under the weak light of the star, and its appearance looks peaceful and quiet like a virgin, but it will never become a home for humans after leaving the star, at most it will be used for mining, but even so it maintains a terrible speed of about 800 kilometers per hour, moving forward with the inertia when it leaves the mother star.
No one knows where it will go, even at such a high speed, it has been observed by the empire to move forward on a route for hundreds of years, so its front is bumpy, all of which are pits caused by asteroids and gravel impacts.
Its satellites, or a pile of fragmented rocks, each the size of an asteroid fortress, although not densely packed, are moving forward at a terrifying speed, forming an extremely fast ring, an elliptical ring, and then stabilizing at a special speed.
Bordello will soon join in the dance. They need to reach the limit of the sublight speed engine in a physical posture during this period, and then rely on the inertia of the planet's gravity to throw themselves out. According to calculations, they need to circle the world three times, reach the highest speed, break through the fatal gravity zone with the maximum output, and rely on that energy to achieve a balance between speed and fuel consumption.
This is a rare heroic move in the history of the empire, relying on a huge celestial body to complete an unprecedented interstellar extreme movement, but the Contemplator Array has given a feasible answer. Under the premise of no subspace travel ability, such madness is needed to complete the expected strategic deployment.
Even if inertia cannot help them reach their destination, the lords' territories along the way can also provide help, so as long as they fly out normally, it will not be too bad at worst.
Thinking of this, there was a kind of excitement in the ship. If their tactics were successful, it would leave a very important tactic of short-distance support in the history of the empire. Even if a huge planet is moving forward quickly, it is rare in the universe, because it is more likely for them to be locked by stars.
But even so, it can make itself recorded in the history books, how can it not be excited? In this era of the end of the 40,000 years of human civilization, there are not many achievements that can be recorded. Even if there are many missing in history, it has been 10,000 years. How many capable people have accomplished many miracles and achievements in 10,000 years?
The closest way to success and being recorded is right in front of us. Just flying over a small star ring can add a strong touch to the experience of the miracle of Bordello.
It is not difficult for the powerful battleships of the empire to circle the star belt. The heavy adamantium can completely ignore a large number of celestial threats, unless its mass and speed far exceed the level of the battleship. But even so, the thinker array, the divination instrument, and the information delta composed of the navigator can also meet the reconnaissance of the imperial battleship, so it can avoid foreign objects when it exceeds the field of vision by countless times.
With the cooperation of many people, Bordeleau's huge hull completed a beautiful turn with flexibility beyond its huge body, cutting into the slowly flowing star ring with many objects. The gravity here slowly accelerated Bordeleau, and it felt like sitting on an elevator.
It was equivalent to accurately pulling a strand of hair from a lion, but even so, it only proved that humans can survive in the void, not conquer the universe.
At this moment, even psychics would be respected by people. Ailanbaier resisted the urge to ask the astropath for divination once, and made an exception to salute this old navigator, who had helped humans cross the subspace and extreme void environment tens of thousands of times.
Acceleration, deceleration, angle, everyone was fully focused, stimulants and coffee became in short supply, because even if they died of heart problems after this operation, they could shout to other heroes of the Imperial Navy on the Golden Throne that they flew in the void at a speed close to light.
And such romance should be enjoyed by oneself. This is Bordeleau's overall feeling, and it is also why they are happy. Those mixed emotions finally broke out today.
The psychic who had been hated all his life was stunned. His psychic power could sense the other party's mentality, even if it was only a little bit, because he was not proficient in this.
But compared with those complicated calculations or adjustments, what made people feel more open-minded were the small meteors caught by the gravity of the planet. They might be the size of a battleship, but because of the distance, they looked like arrows flying with afterimages, and turned into dense light and shadows like raindrops in the huge distance calculated almost in thousands of kilometers.
Accurate data began to jump happily in the ship's contemplators, and the captain shouted immediately. "After three thousand kilometers, disengage, prepare the engine, and the angle cannot be deviated. We need to let Bordello move as nimbly as a limb!"
Miss Nova wrote furiously, hoping that her pen and ink could announce a little beauty here to all the people in the empire, because the pale blue and white planet flashed under the light of the stars, carrying thousands of beautiful meteors and moving forward with the imperial battleships. There were too many people who were moved.
However, unlike Bordeleau's laughter and scolding when entering, her crew entered combat mode at a very fast speed. The navigator reported any possible collision with precise words. The captain and his sailors maintained precise and extreme precision for Bordeleau, relying on the strong gravity of this wandering planet and its inertia of wandering forward, which can accelerate the planet's forward inertia and will not be sucked into the gravitational range, resulting in deceleration and inability to escape.
Three thousand kilometers sounds a lot and far away, but Enwei IV is much larger than the earth. For it, three thousand kilometers is only one thousandth of its body, and it is not worth mentioning for the void, but it is the entire Imperial Guard.
But the reality is that the gap between them is very large, which can accommodate many warships, many, many.
Therefore, the empire is an old, corrupt empire that does not move forward or take risks, rather than a sufficiently dynamic world, but this does not mean that people do not like extreme sports, but the scale can no longer reach a large enough situation, at most it is the extreme behavior of a madman.
Under normal circumstances, the Empire would need to use dozens of times more terrible fuel per kilometer than usual. Therefore, full speed was regarded as a tactical action, not a normal state. It would make the nuclear reactor of the Empire's warships need to be cooled, and the fuel would be overused.
Everyone was exhausted, and the captain asked after all his wisdom. "How much deviation?"
"We are shoulder to shoulder with the stars!" A crew member couldn't help shouting, and several servants were helping the hard-working navigator to leave the complex and abnormal pipes and instruments, and replaced them with the most experienced and experienced old man they found. He was the most calm when he went down, and he was also the most powerful in psychic power.
The captain scolded a little angrily. "Do you have to drag everything into the war?"
"Captain, the navigator didn't reply, and we can't get the information..." After this sentence, people couldn't help but worry, but things are always as everyone thinks. The old man died in his seat due to poor health and high-intensity spiritual energy consumption, as if he was asleep. The servant took the hero in the robe down, and the information was accurate only when the new navigator sat here.
Those people inside the battleship were happy about this and talked freely. They wanted to create one of the few recorded and necessary miracles of the empire on this beautiful world. This society is so contradictory. They worship great sacrifices and wars and promote pragmatism to the extreme, while squandering the countless resources of the empire in the universe.
This is the edge of the star system closest to Wandering Port. The light has cooled down, but it still exists. Those lights show the wonders to humans, like the reward given by the emperor to the brave among his descendants. However, any recording equipment in the empire now cannot record this scenery intact, and it is somewhat incomparable to being there in person.
This extremely huge world is cruel and beautiful, heroic and lonely. Humans are too small and weak. The inertia of this planet's progress may only be equivalent to humans walking, but for this most advanced warship of human civilization, it is simply an indescribable huge energy.
This sentence made people subconsciously look at the window that they had ignored for a long time. It was a small stone that was almost stopped. It stopped, and the meteors stopped.
Rotation could not make up for its spiritual energy consumption in a short time. At the beginning, it could still remain stable. As time passed, the faster the speed, the more tired the crew became. This matter became more and more extreme. However, if the speed was not enough, they could not keep from decelerating and leaving the star ring. If it was too fast, they could not move forward accurately. A slight deviation in the universe would result in a difference of 108,000 miles in the destination.
Finally, he sat on the throne connected to the complex sensor with twisted pipes, and the helmet with connectors embedded in his spine made him and Bordello merge into one.
And at the 10th hour, the captain's tired expression suddenly disappeared because he shouted. "Is it a meteor?"
Don't forget the whole gravity because the planet is not a perfect circle when it moves forward. Although it is originally elliptical, it becomes more elliptical during acceleration. Every circle and every segment needs to be accurately changed every time it accelerates, which almost kills everyone's brain cells. For this reason, they luxuriously prepared 10 navigators, all of whom are experienced veterans. Even so, they can't last an hour on average.
Moreover, the crew of the Bordello ship are the elite among the elite, and they are not afraid of the so-called extreme stars at all. On the contrary, this world that wanders and passes the border of the empire and is crucial to the strategy is even rarer. The empire is a cruel pragmatic society, so no one will waste precious fuel and materials on creating miracles.
They reached the maximum speed in the 10th hour. Although the navigator was exhausted, his third eye on his forehead kept flowing out thick and strange viscous body fluids, and his spiritual energy was almost gone, but this news meant that they could impact in a better state and leave the gravity of the star.
This feeling was not bad, it felt like my body was being slowly pulled and my soul was leaving my body, but this feeling was adjusted to a level suitable for the human body by the Mechanicus' gravity sorcery by the Thinker Array, although it was a little different. After all, according to the captain, they had accelerated to 80 kilometers per hour in the last few minutes. You have to know that this was the extra acceleration of a huge metal dragon during navigation.
And this was a short miracle, shorter than most people imagined, probably less than 10 seconds, aiming, breaking through, Bordello broke through the ocean like a dragon, wearing an illusory coat, breaking away from the gravity of this planet, leaving the complex meteor shower, and moving towards the farthest place in the void without saying a word.
His poetic thoughts were soon interrupted, and Alanbair looked at the world with a little interest. "It's really beautiful. I wonder how much promethium can be dug out. In the long history of war in the empire, there might be a way to build such a wandering fortress."
"But we are in the war, whether you like it or not, even our jump this time is for war." Alanbair emphasized this point and tore the few poetic thoughts into powder, which made people give up hope. However, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in Bordello, which was something that many people who still had dreams loved for a lifetime.
But at this moment, it was meaningful. When the captain looked at the huge world on the bridge, his heart was full of expectations, and his breathing became long, like the last sigh after sex. He was one of the few adventurers in the empire, so he was looking forward to it. "Great, it's a wanderer, just like me, circling such a beautiful world three times."
Everyone held their breath. In just one hour, Alanbair probably felt two clear accelerations. Circling in the elliptical star ring, the warship was pulled forward by gravity and inertia every time it passed a bend. It felt more like a slingshot than a slingshot, except that the slingshot would never be launched, but would circle in the void at a fairly average speed.
Finally, time passed little by little. Such high pressure needed to maintain an estimated 14 standard Terra hours to ensure that the warship reached the quasi-speed. However, this concept still allowed Bordello to maintain the most accurate outer ring range of gravity, and it could be thrown out and accelerated stably at any time and anywhere.
After all, dancing with such a celestial body can be said to be a rare romance in the cruel war history of the empire.
So for the members of the Bordello, this action was a special extreme action with the right time, right place and right people.
"Report, absolutely no error, we are advancing at an unprecedented speed!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including the seemingly incapable Imperial Guards. When this giant traveled into the void, the pale blue planet looked at her from afar, as if this lonely traveler was thanking the Bordello for accompanying her on her journey, even though it was only a few milliseconds for her.
And now they are the same, no, they have always been the same, they are travelers drifting in the void towards that small goal in the vast universe.
