Chapter 6 S-01888-1

Seeing this, Li Meng said: "Go to Star No. 1 and see if the star ring contains rich mineral deposits, then build an ecosphere space station in the planet's orbit!"

"The scanning array has locked Star No. 1, and the navigator can accurately locate it. Do you want to make a short-distance jump and enter the subspace?"

Donald responded to Li Meng.

The mechanical, hoarse voice sounded from Donald's hood again.

The space in the star system is very vast.

If you travel at sublight speed, it will take at least one or two days.

This is a process from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow.

The farther the distance, the faster the speed can be.

For closer ones, you have to slow down in advance and push back before the speed rises.

Finally, you reach the destination at a safe speed.

Subspace navigation?

A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and Li Meng nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The human empire in Warhammer 40K travels in the subspace for superluminal flight.

A very dangerous dimensional space filled with evil consciousness.

As Li Meng gave an order, the electronic eyes in Donald's hood flashed.

A series of mechanical, hoarse voices rang out in the bridge.

"Prepare for subspace navigation, all outer protective armor closed..."

"Start the Geller force field..."

"Subspace engine ready to start, countdown: 15, 14..."

In the bridge, hoarse mechanical voices echoed.

Li Meng could feel a tense atmosphere.

Outside the window, the protective armor slowly closed, from top to bottom, from bottom to top.

Outside, in the dark universe.

The huge Far Journey was sailing forward at high speed.

The tail thruster sprayed out hundreds of meters of white tail flames, like a comet passing through the starry sky.

A closer look showed that the outer protective armor everywhere was slowly closing.

The white tail flames from the tail engine also gradually became weaker and the speed slowed down.

During the voyage, suddenly, something strange happened.

Just in front of the bow of the Far Journey, the space seemed to be torn apart and twisted wildly.

A purple-red energy body even overflowed from the twisted space.

It turned into a huge, ferocious purple-red vortex.

The purple-red vortex was like a man-eating monster with its bloody mouth opened wide.

The high-speed flying Far Journey crashed into it and disappeared without a trace.

The purple-red vortex disappeared with it.

The whole process was very short, from the distortion of space to the appearance of the purple-red vortex.

Then the Far Journey rushed into it and the vortex disappeared.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

As the Far Journey disappeared, the dark universe returned to its previous silence.

…

Star S-01888-1.

For a planet, there is no so-called concept of time.

They will orbit the star for tens of billions of years and eventually be swallowed by the star.

A person's life lasts for hundreds of years, while their life lasts for tens of billions of years.

They can't speak, let alone self-awareness.

They can only float in the dark and cold universe under the pull of gravity.

Today, the lonely Star No. 1 welcomed a new guest.

Outside the gravity well of Star No. 1, a huge purple-red vortex suddenly appeared in the dark universe.

There was no dazzling light, only a huge spaceship slowly flew out of the vortex.

As the vortex disappeared, the engine at the tail of the Far Journey once again ejected a white tail flame hundreds of meters long.

If you look up at the sky from the surface of the planet.

You can see a comet appearing in the sky and approaching the planet.

At this time, in the bridge of the Far Journey...

"Has left the subspace, time axis positioning, it took 13 seconds..."

"The sensor captured Star No. 1 and has arrived at the destination..."

"Turn on the outer protective armor..."

Subspace...

Li Meng, sitting upright in the captain's chair, looked weird.

Are there really those things in the subspace?

Also, is there really a subspace in the real universe where the earth is?

The subspace is just a setting in the game Warhammer 40K, how can it really exist.

But reality tells Li Meng that the subspace is real.

There are demons in the subspace, otherwise, the Far Journey would not open the Geller Field.

You should know that one of the main functions of the Geller Field is to isolate the spacecraft, prevent demon invasion, and prevent the chaotic energy from eroding the hull.

The more you think about it, the deeper you think about it, the more you feel a strong sense of unreality.

At this moment, the protective armor outside the window slowly opened...

As the protective armor opened, a bright earth-yellow planet appeared in Li Meng's eyes in the starry sky outside.

Against the backdrop of the star ring, it is so beautiful...

At this moment, Li Meng was shocked by the vastness of the starry sky and the beauty of the planet.

He had never seen a planet from such an angle before.

The scene he saw made Li Meng feel a little emotional.

Perhaps this is why humans yearn for the universe.

Want to explore the unknown, want to experience the wonders of the universe firsthand.

Outside, in the dark universe, the huge Far Journey slowly flew forward...

The reverse thrust engines on both sides of the bow started, spewing out smaller white plasma tail flames, and the speed slowed down.

It gradually flew into the gravity well of the planet, sailed above the star ring, and gradually went deeper into the near-Earth orbit.

Finally, above the edge of the star ring, the Far Journey slowly stopped.

The small celestial bodies below are not stationary.

They are floating, moving, and colliding.

Because they are too dense, their movement is like the undulating waves.

Occasionally, some small celestial bodies will deviate from the orbiting direction due to collisions.

They will fly out of the star ring, pulled by the gravity of Star No. 1, and fall onto the surface of the planet.

"Regent, the Far Journey has docked in the geostationary orbit of Planet No. 1. Please issue new instructions."

Hearing this, Li Meng became alert.

The star ring outside the window seemed to be within reach.

The next thing he had to do was to explore the treasures in the star ring.

Li Meng looked at Donald at the bottom of the stairs.

"Send out all the mining boats. Their only mission is to explore the mineral deposits in the star ring."

With Li Meng's order, the order was passed down layer by layer.

A few minutes later, two huge gates were opened at the lower abdomen of the Far Journey's huge hull.

One after another, the "Iron Slave" mining boats, about 150 meters long, flew out of the harbor and flew towards the small celestial bodies below.

The white tail flames from its tail shone in the starry sky...

Above the star ring plane, the ten mining boats that left the ship scattered.

Driven by the four engines at the tail, they flew farther away, close to the star ring plane.

Some mining boats even opened the mineral detection arrays on the bow and belly.

The white light curtain spread out, forming dense plane rays that swept through the small celestial bodies below.

As the most common asteroid mining platform in the human empire.

The "Iron Slave" mining boat has a distinct human empire art style.

The overall color is dark yellow, square, like a box.

150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 30 meters high.

The style is also relatively rough, and the engine is almost exposed.

The hull is also very rough, and the module junction has not been polished or decorated.

The cargo hold in the front half of the hull is even more open.

You can even see a huge refining device on the deck.

Using the refining device, the mining boat can break the asteroid into pieces.

Then refine the ore powder from the pieces and finally send it to the smelting plant of the Far Journey.
