Chapter 245: Induction Has Been Revealed
Seeing the space jump engine perfectly installed inside the giant cabin, Qi Yiming completely believed the words of the Zenith star.
When Qi Yiming was about to ask the other party how to use the engine, Xuefeng's shipboard intelligence reported the situation to Qi Yiming in a timely manner.
"It has been detected that the space jump engine has been installed. Do you want to charge it?"
Qi Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then gave the command to recharge the jump engine.
In front of the control console of the Xuefeng, a large-scale star map was displayed.
The nearby galaxies thousands of light-years away are all represented as single points on this star map.
The engine's charging progress is displayed next to the star map.
The next second, an option was displayed on the console, "Please select jump mode!!"
[Battlefield delivery mode: This ship will consume a huge amount of energy to jump a certain number of friendly ships to the vicinity of the destination, with an error of ±10 light years]
[Induced Jump Mode: The induction signal carried by a friendly ship guides the ship to make a long-distance jump. The induced ship is ready and can set sail at any time. 】
[Precision jump mode: lack of deep space detection radar, this option is not available]
Of the three modes, only the last one is gray and unselectable, while the other two are selectable.
Qi Yiming stared blankly at these three options, looking extremely shocked.
Having served in the strategic strike fleet for several years, I have never heard that a super flagship has such abnormal functions. It seems that the Human Federation did a good job in keeping secrets.
After recovering from the shock, Qi Yiming immediately chose the battlefield delivery mode to preserve human war power to the maximum extent.
After Qi Yiming selected the jump mode, a line of explanatory text appeared again on the control screen in front of him: "Please select the jump destination."
Then the star map on the console in front of Qi Yiming was enlarged, and the twinkling white dots in the star map represented a galaxy.
Qi Yiming soon found the star field where the New Federation's evacuation fleet was located on the star map. Due to errors in long-range delivery, Qi Yiming deliberately chose a galaxy in the direction of the evacuation fleet as the destination.
Qi Yiming's right hand tapped lightly on the star map, and the galaxy he clicked turned blue-purple on the star map and flickered.
"The jump target has been confirmed, please wait for the charging to be completed..."
Of course, Qi Yiming did not forget to release the ships specifically responsible for releasing the induction signal.
A few minutes later, the electronically synthesized voice of the ship's intelligent brain rang again: "Charging completed, the destination is 732 light years away, 111,300 warships will be delivered, and 1.5 tons of ether crystals will be consumed."
Immediately afterwards, the human battleships were enveloped in a faint red light one by one, and the space around them became distorted.
The next second, the battleship disappeared out of thin air.
For a time, the battlefield was illuminated by waves of red light. As the number of battleships decreased, the background color of the universe returned to its original color.
Seeing the fleet disappearing out of thin air, the crew members of Turing Republic were dumbfounded and could not even say a word.
Jiang Bingsheng grabbed Qi Yiming's collar and asked: "Where is my fleet? Where did you take my fleet?"
But at this time, Qi Yiming had no intention of explaining to Jiang Bingsheng what was happening in front of him.
His attention was attracted by what the shipboard brain had just reported.
"What is an ether crystal? Does space warping consume this thing?"
Qi Yiming muttered while quickly checking the status of the jump engine.
Sure enough, there is a set of data about ether crystals in the status bar showing the jump engine.
[Ether Crystal: The current stock is 1 ton. 】
"Let me wipe...is there so little of this stuff?"
After Xuefeng carried out this long-distance delivery, there was only 1 ton of ether crystal left. Qi Yiming was a little worried that if he couldn't escape, it was not for nothing.
But something happened that made Qi Yiming vomit blood even more.
It will actually take 30 minutes until the next start of the warp engine.
Let alone thirty minutes now, Qi Yiming just didn't want to stay in this damn place for one second.
More importantly, it seems that the Zentraedi spacecraft can no longer survive for 30 minutes.
At this time, the Zenith Star Liaison Officer spoke to Qi Yiming again: "We will try our best to delay you. Remember, only Battle Star can defeat the insect swarm. We must find her."
Before Qi Yiming had time to ask what the ether crystal was, the communication was interrupted again. After that, no matter how hard Qi Yiming tried, he could not contact the other party.
The siege of the Zentraedi spacecraft by the insect swarm continues. With the addition of Leviathan at the rear of the brigade, the insect swarm's attack becomes even sharper.
Often a single impact can open a big hole in a giant spaceship.
All Qi Yiming could do was use the Xuefeng super flagship's slightly meager firepower to provide some support to the Zenith stars.
But judging from the situation, it did not affect the insect swarm's attack on the giant spacecraft at all.
As time goes by, the hull of the giant spaceship has become tattered, but the magical thing is that she stands proudly in the center of the battlefield like a stubborn lion, never willing to lower its noble head.
Soon, the giant spaceship miraculously survived the 30-minute cooling time caused by the jump.
At this time, Qi Yiming had also discovered something different on the star map.
The remotely projected fleet had arrived at its destination dozens of minutes ago.
After the delivery was completed, the shipboard intelligent brain reported the delivery results to Qi Yiming as soon as possible.
At this time, at the delivery target point 740 light years away, a special frigate was flying out of the fleet group flexibly.
There was no weapon equipment on her hull, but a huge communication antenna was carried on the back of the hull.
After leaving the fleet at a certain distance, the huge antenna on his back began to rotate slowly.
The crew members on the ship also heard a huge buzzing sound while the antenna was rotating, a buzzing sound that made the eardrums hurt.
When the antenna pointed to the position of the Xuefeng, a purple-red light faintly appeared on the hull of the frigate.
"Coordinate positioning has been completed... The guidance information is being transmitted." The electronic synthesis sound of the shipboard intelligent brain resounded throughout the warship.
The guidance information passed through the vast sea of stars at a speed hundreds of thousands of times faster than the speed of light, and the guidance information was transmitted back to the Xuefeng in just 3 minutes.
"The induction is on, the front is clear, and the space jump can be carried out at any time..." The shipboard intelligent computer of Xuefeng announced that the jump preparation work was completed at the same time when Qi Yiming found the purple-red dot on the star map.
"Whether you are the guardian of mankind as you say, I Qi Yiming will remember this favor today..." Qi Yiming whispered softly, and then decisively pressed the button to start the jump program.
