Chapter 153 Discovery of the Wise
Chapter 151 Discovery of the Wise
But what Ni Di didn't expect was that when Qi Yiming found the information they left behind, the Wise had already been flying for 100,000 years.
After leaving the galaxy where the Taikoo star was located, Qi Yiming did not use the bridge jump, but followed the route of the Wise into deep space navigation.
100,000 years, for the Xuefeng, which has a speed of 500 times the speed of light, it is not difficult to catch up with the Wise, which is traveling at sub-light speed.
The difficulty is how to find the Wise, which may have deviated from the route.
Because the energy on the Wise is not enough for her to persist in sailing for 100,000 years.
After losing energy, the Wise can no longer make orbital corrections, which is very dangerous in deep space navigation.
The best case is to be captured by a star, and the worst case is to plunge into an unknown celestial body and crash.
Along the way, the Xuefeng was searching for the Wise, which might appear at any time. In addition, Zhou Hao and his team were very careful to hide themselves, so Qi Yiming did not find a small tail following behind him.
And this tail is growing rapidly, and the fleet departing from the territory of the Commercial Alliance is also catching up.
Although they are not the regular fleets of the Commercial Alliance, they are all special warships provided by the Commercial Alliance intelligence agency for agents.
Originally, the female president of the Commercial Alliance wanted to send a regular fleet to intercept the Xuefeng, but the cost of deep space navigation without jumping off the bridge was too high, and finally she could only send special warships of the intelligence department to catch up.
Half a month later, the Xuefeng arrived at the location where Qi Yiming and his team calculated that the Wise had lost all energy.
"What should we do next?" He Zhenzhu asked Qi Yiming while looking at the red channel on the star map.
"It stands to reason that the Wise will continue to fly along the tangent of this route, but the information we have obtained does not talk much about the energy reserves on the Wise, and we cannot be sure that this point is the point where the Wise lost energy."
"The Wise travels at sub-light speed, and the distance it flies in 100,000 years is not too far." Wang Shuhua said as he drew a section on the route: "According to the information we have obtained, the point we are now at is the earliest point where it lost energy."
Then Wang Shuhua pointed to the end of the route he drew and said: "This point is the latest point we calculated that the Wise lost energy. We only need to correct the route twice in this distance."
Qi Yiming was enlightened by Wang Shuhua's analysis: "The two points for correcting the route are not far apart."
Qi Yiming entered a string of data on the star map, and two tangents extending along the original route appeared on the star map.
Qi Yiming pointed at the two new routes and continued, "These two routes are not far apart. We will split into two groups. He Zhenzhu will lead one group, and I will lead the other group. Whoever finds the Wise can use deep space communication equipment to notify each other."
"I think it's okay..." He Zhenzhu nodded.
As soon as they said it, the Xuefeng was disassembled again. The Ares was commanded by Qi Yiming himself.
The Lightning and the Redemption were combined and entered the first route under the leadership of He Zhenzhu.
Qi Yiming and his team continued to sail along the original route for eight days before arriving at the entrance of the second route.
Zhou Hao, who was following behind them, was stunned: "What kind of people are they? Don't they know how dangerous deep space navigation is? Why are they acting separately?"
"What should we do?" Zhang Qiao also looked at Zhou Hao with a depressed look on his face.
"What else can we do? Separate and chase..."
In fact, Zhou Hao's heart was completely chilled when he saw the fleet coming to support.
He had seen the battle video of the Xuefeng, so he didn't think that the intelligence agency's dozen special cruisers could deal with those warships that could change their combinations at will.
Now, the other side has split up.
Although they have the advantage in terms of numbers, Zhou Hao knows that their warships may not be the opponent of this mysterious fleet.
But there is no way. The order from above is to find a way to capture this fleet. Zhou Hao can only divide his fleet into two and continue to chase.
At this time, the Wise, as Qi Yiming and others guessed, had long lost all energy and was relying on inertia to navigate in deep space.
In front of the Wise's current route, there is a small black hole that is slowly rotating, swallowing all the stars passing by it.
The Wise had long entered the gravitational circle of this black hole, and she couldn't adjust her route at all without energy.
The black hole was like a monster that swallowed everything, opening its bloody mouth to the Wise.
The Wise Man's outer armor was also hit by wandering stars in the universe, but she was lucky that the stars that hit her were relatively small, otherwise she would not have been able to fly so far.
The Ares has been flying along the second route calculated by Qi Yiming and his team for more than half a month, but still has not found any trace of the Wise Man.
This made Qi Yiming very anxious.
Because there is a small black hole fifteen light years away on the route they are flying.
If the Wise Man cannot be found again, Qi Yiming can only stop the Ares from moving forward, because if it goes further, the Ares will be captured by the gravitational field of the black hole.
If the Ares was captured, it would not be able to escape with the energy provided by its engine.
Just as the Ares was approaching the black hole, the radar commander made a new discovery: "Captain... what do you see there?"
Qi Yiming, who was originally standing behind the radar commander, also found something unusual. A green dot suddenly appeared on the radar screen of the Victory.
Qi Yiming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the green dot. Fortunately, the Wise Man was not swallowed by the black hole.
But the next second Qi Yiming frowned again: "The Wise Man was captured by the gravitational field of the black hole."
"What should we do then?" As the temporary captain of the Heavy Hammer, Wang Shuhua has been following Qi Yiming's actions, and he has no better way to rescue the Wise Man from the clutches of the black hole.
"It depends on the situation. In a dozen days at most, the Wise will be completely locked by the gravitational field of the black hole. By then, even if the war star of the human federation comes, the Wise will not be able to get out."
"Can't we use the tractor beam to pull her out?"
Qi Yiming shook his head: "The power provided by the Ares engine can't offset the gravitational field generated by the black hole. We can't save the Wise."
After that, both of them fell silent. Qi Yiming crossed his hands in front of his chest and stared at the radar screen.
Wang Shuhua slowly touched his chin and tried hard to think of a solution.
Suddenly Qi Yiming ordered the communications director to contact He Zhenzhu who was searching on another route: "Let them come as quickly as possible, don't save energy, the energy reserves on the Ares are enough for us to go back."
"They will come sooner or later, why rush so fast?"
"The Ares can't save the Wise, but with the Redemption, Lightning, and your Hammer." Qi Yiming looked at Wang Shuhua excitedly: "The power provided by the engines of the four warships, plus the power of the Wise, can completely rescue her."
Qi Yiming paused and then said: "It's just that the Ares has to venture into the gravitational field of the black hole and grab the Wise first, otherwise she will soon be locked by the gravitational field of the black hole."
"What are you waiting for?" Wang Shuhua understood what Qi Yiming meant: "I know what you mean, aren't you afraid that the operation will fail and harm everyone?"
Qi Yiming nodded.
"Look at these people." Wang Shuhua pointed at all the members in the bridge: "They are all your comrades. It's a lie to say that you are not afraid of death. But if comrades can't share the joys and sorrows at this time, can they still be called comrades?"
"But..."
Qi Yiming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Shuhua: "When did you become so fussy..."
Qi Yiming looked around, everyone looked at Qi Yiming with firm eyes, and then Qi Yiming laughed, then walked to the navigator and patted him on the shoulder: "Engine full power output, let's catch up!!"
I wanted to get a perfect attendance, but one day I was 2 minutes late, and I didn't have enough points to exchange for a leave slip, so this month's perfect attendance was missed, and I didn't have the energy to write it all of a sudden.
