Chapter 269: Chasing the World Destroyer
To be honest, Qi Yiming didn't want to believe what Su Yongliang said.
But what Su Yongliang said next made him fall into the abyss of despair.
When the Zerg fought the final battle with the former human federation, the war star had already been sent to the battlefield. Qi Yiming, as a junior officer at the time, did not have the channel to control the overall information of the battlefield.
He only knew that the strategic strike fleet was unable to complete the combination and start the war star under the huge attack pressure of the Zerg, but Su Yongliang was different.
As a captain in the strategic strike fleet at the time, he knew the battlefield situation clearly.
The federal fleet had many opportunities to complete the combination and start the war star, but they were all rejected by the fleet headquarters, which eventually led to the strategic strike fleet being divided by the Zerg and completely lost the opportunity to start the war star.
Then, the modular warships of the strategic strike fleet were preserved at the expense of a large number of fleets, and finally joined the federal escape fleet and embarked on a long journey to the stars.
After that, these captains also asked the headquarters many times why they refused to combine the modular warships and start the war star at the most critical moment.
The final explanation they got was that the war star lacked core components, and even if all modular warships were assembled, the war star could not be started.
At that time, the war star was sent into the battlefield only to boost the morale of the front-line combat fleet and buy enough time for the evacuation fleet.
Hearing this, Qi Yiming finally understood why the federal evacuation fleet did not allow the strategic strike fleet to combine with the war star after completely getting rid of the swarm, and then led the fleet back to kill.
"Do you know the Zentraedians?" Su Yongliang's sudden mention of the Zentraedians surprised Qi Yiming even more.
"How do you know about the Zentraeds?"
"After the Federation completely got rid of the Zerg's tracking, it limitedly decrypted certain levels of military personnel. I only knew about this at that time."
Qi Yiming tried to ask: "You mean, the Zentraeds helped us design and build the War Star?"
"It seems that you know a lot..." Su Yongliang looked at Qi Yiming in surprise: "The War Star was designed by the Zentraeds for us, and some of the key technologies were also provided by them. Even the overall design ideas of the modular battleship were provided to us by the Zentraeds."
"Isn't it said that the chief designer of the modular battleship is the president of the Academy of Sciences?"
Su Yongliang smiled bitterly: "If you don't say that, how does the federal government explain the source of the battleship design drawings?"
"It was impossible for the Federation to design and build modular battleships at that time, right?"
"It is said that it is a key technology, especially the adaptability of the control program and the outer armor to the new ship body after the battleship is completed. These two points cannot be so perfect with the science and technology of the Federation at that time."
Qi Yiming didn't understand this thing, so he could only choose to believe it.
"What are the key components of the war star? Do we have the blueprints?"
"I don't know the specific situation. At our level, we only know that the key components of the war star are in the hands of the Zentraedians."
After hearing this, Qi Yiming suddenly remembered the time when he met the Zentraedians through the wormhole.
At that time, the liaison officer of the Zentraedians told him that they had a relic of the Creator, but they had only disassembled it for research and had never restored it.
"Did the federal fleet encounter the Zentraedians again later?"
Su Yongliang shook his head: "The federal high-level tried various methods to contact them, but they all failed in the end."
Why this happened, Qi Yiming couldn't say, but he knew that the Zentraedians would never be contacted now. The Zentraedians and their giant spacecraft turned into cosmic dust under the attack of the swarm.
However, Qi Yiming did not despair, because the Xuefeng had recorded the star map in detail before encountering the impulse. As long as he could pass through the wormhole, Qi Yiming would be sure to find the relic of the Creator that the Zentraedians failed to reassemble.
"No matter what, we must find the World Destroyer first to improve our combat power and have a chance to sign up for the pursuit battle with the Zerg later." Qi Yiming still wanted Su Yongliang to point out the possible location of the World Destroyer.
Su Yongliang sighed and muttered to himself as he studied the holographic star map in his room carefully.
Finally, he pointed to a binary star system more than 100 light years away from the fleet: "What I can be sure of is that the World Destroyer once passed by this system and took a short rest in it, and the crew of the World Destroyer also rioted at that time and forced me to sleep."
With a target, it was easy to deal with. Qi Yiming immediately took Su Yongliang back to the Xuefeng.
The super flagship was not suitable for this kind of exploration mission. Qi Yiming could only separate the slightly smaller War Spear, and also took the Guardian and Lightning.
As for the escape fleet, it set sail for the next node as planned, and Qi Yiming would find a way to catch up with the fleet at that time.
The warship's jump speed after leaving the fleet was not slow. In order to take care of the three giant colony ships with the slowest jump speed in the fleet, all the warships had to follow slowly.
Su Yongliang was taken by Qi Yiming to the destination.
On the way, Qi Yiming learned in detail about everything that happened on the World Destroyer.
According to Su Yongliang, someone wanted to be a deserter and instigated the other crew members to rebel against him as the captain.
The World Destroyer did not encounter an energy crisis at that time.
The crew members were fed up with the endless deep space voyage, watching friendly ships being forced to land on barely survivable planets due to energy depletion, and ended this desperate voyage ahead of time.
When the crew of the World Destruction found a planet extremely suitable for human survival in a binary star system, the desire for a down-to-earth life made the crew members unable to resist the temptation.
They first made suggestions to Su Yongliang in the form of a collective petition.
However, as a captain of the federal fleet, Su Yongliang could not agree to such a request.
Seeing that the World Destruction was about to follow the fleet to leave the galaxy where the habitable star was found, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out.
The first to rebel were the security personnel on the ship.
The security captain took over the bridge when Su Yongliang was unprepared, and Su Yongliang himself was placed under house arrest.
Originally, Su Yongliang thought that there would be crew members who resisted, but to his surprise, many crew members were persuaded by the crew members who participated in the rebellion.
They also longed to end this endless deep space voyage and return to the surface of the planet to live a normal life that humans should live.
In fact, for a moment, Su Yongliang also wanted to join them, but when he saw the look in the eyes of the security captain when he looked at him, he knew that he was finished.
It was obvious that the security captain had his own ambitions after controlling the World Destruction, and he no longer allowed Su Yongliang to join them as the captain.
So when everyone was still celebrating the landing of the World Destruction, the security captain and his men stuffed Su Yongliang into the hibernation capsule and launched the hibernation capsule in the direction they came from.
As for the fact that he was rescued by Qi Yiming and others, it can only be said that his luck was really against the sky. He flew for more than 800 years and nothing happened.
