The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons Chapter 140

  Chapter 140 The Weird Black Hole

   It is worth mentioning that there is also a pioneer version of the battleship, called the Dreadnought Battleship, which requires two kinds of battleship mother chips and dreadnought flagship mother chips to start reverse derivation, and the requirements are very outrageous.

   But correspondingly, its combat power is also outrageous, because the dreadnought battleship combines the powerful combat power of the dreadnought flagship with the universality of the battleship, and is not as difficult to build as the dreadnought flagship.

Dreadnought battleships combine the advantages of battleships and dreadnought flagships, and remove the disadvantages. They have shields, armor, and weapon slots that far exceed those of Lord-class battleships, but there is no T-slot doomsday weapon for dreadnoughts. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a ship without a T The dreadnought is a shrunken version of the doomsday weapon, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary battleships.

  From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be too strong.

  However, this dreadnought battleship is easy to build, and it can be popularized on a large scale like a battleship.

   There are only dozens of dreadnoughts in a legion-level super fleet, but there are tens of thousands of battleships. If all these tens of thousands of battleships are replaced with dreadnoughts, the same number of battleships will increase their combat effectiveness by more than ten times.

so.

   "I still need the mother chip!"

  Li Qing rubbed his chin and thought about it. When Ye Xuandong and his son are caught this time, when Nantian Ye's compensation is due, can he ask for two mother chips?

   It doesn't matter if you don't arrive, if you arrive, wouldn't you save a lot of time?

In two months, he obtained two new Servants of Light enlightenment quotas. He attuned the last two snakemen with the qualifications of chief engineers of battleships as servants of light, so that he has two flagship chief engineers and ten battleships. The chief engineer can build two flagships and one hundred battleships at the same time.

As the team of Servants of Light grows stronger, Li Qing's strength grows faster and faster. Now the only thing that restricts him is time. As long as there is enough time, it is easy to accumulate a force that can sweep all the players in the outpost base. strength.

   "So where did they go?"

   There was no news for several months, and Li Qing once felt that Ye Xuandong and the others ran home from somewhere.

But in the third month of his departure, he received an inquiry message from Yu Qingzhi. Yu Yuefei sent someone to send some information about the outpost base, which confirmed that they did not go back at all, and must still be in the depths of the Zutar Nebula. place.

   "It's quite well hidden."

  Li Qing calmed down and continued to wait patiently.

   Another month passed, and he routinely entered the universe in the palm of his hand to instill another servant of light. When he flew over a large laboratory in the scientific research area, he suddenly saw a huge metal tentacles protruding from a corner of the laboratory.

  He froze for a moment, flew over quickly, and saw a familiar mechanical ascension body lying in the underground experiment base of this large laboratory.

   It was the octopus-like mechanical ascension body that Blue Bird, the servant of light, had dragged back at some point, and then she didn't know what to do here.

He looked curiously for a while, she seemed to be transforming this mechanical ascension body, one of the tentacles of the mechanical body had been completely disassembled, and then wrapped some luminous silk material with some kind of insulator, just like wrapping wires inside Like a fiber optic, it was buried in the disassembled mechanical tentacles, and then some experiments he couldn't understand were carried out.

  He asked curiously:

"What are you doing?"

   Blue Bird paused and explained:

   "I want to transform my mechanical ascension body to see if it can be manipulated by a psyker."

  Li Qing shook his head and said:

"It's impossible. Psionic energy and machinery are completely incompatible. You might as well take the genetic route and copy this mechanical ascension body one by one, or use genetic technology to transform some of its structures into artificial synthetic materials. Man-made materials are compatible with your psionic and mechanical bodies."

   Qingniao was taken aback for a moment, looked up at Li Qing, and was stunned, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

  Seeing this, Li Qing continued:

"Genetic ascension does not conflict with psionic ascension. You may try to take the route of genetic ascension. It just so happens that no one here has studied this aspect. You can try to study it. After you have certain achievements in the future, you can create a machine similar to mechanical ascension. body's genetic warfare body."

   Didn't disturb her meditation, he just gave a suggestion, it's her business whether to do that or not.

And there is no problem with this suggestion. Although he has several servants of biological light here, most of them are studying things related to biology and genes, but because there are almost no materials available for research, there is almost no achievement in this regard. One more player Do some research, and the efficiency can still be improved a lot.

   Genetic ascension is also a very powerful upgrade. Although it is not as good as psionic ascension, and its overall combat effectiveness is not as good as mechanical ascension, genetic ascension is the most compatible.

  Mechanical ascension is not compatible with any of them, but genetic ascension is compatible with psionic ascension.

  The most important thing is that the potential of genetic technology is very high, especially for its own species.

Gene adjustment to enhance lifespan is the most basic application. It can also adjust genes to make individuals better, stronger, faster, quicker, higher in IQ, and stronger in reproduction. In theory, genetic technology can be used to artificially Superman, but that requires very advanced genetic technology.

After being in this galaxy for three and a half months, when Li Qing had some doubts about his life, finally there was good news from Hong Changfeng. The traces of the large fleet were discovered during the galaxy, and after two rounds of scouting in that galaxy, a hidden scout outpost was captured, and after channel comparison, it was indeed the fleet that escaped.

  Li Qing immediately took back all the industrial ships scattered in the asteroid belt for mining in the universe, and the fleet set off again.

According to the communication, that galaxy is very far away from here, the closest distance is 368 hops, and it is more than 500 hops away from the outpost. Based on the average distance of seven or eight light years between star systems, there are nearly 4,000 light years. Years, has entered the extreme depths of the Zutar star field.

   "A horse can really run."

  Li Qing left many psychic coordinates along the road, and if there is an accident, he can return directly through the coordinates.

  At the same time, send messages to Li Lie and Li Qi in the other two directions to get them back.

   It took more than half a month to rush, and finally came to the predetermined place to meet Hong Changfeng. At this time, they had determined the target location, which was in a black hole galaxy.

   On the first day of junior high school, he was quite surprised. How did they get into the black hole galaxy? What supplies can there be to supplement them?

Moreover, the black hole in that galaxy is a black hole with a huge mass. Not only has it swallowed all the planets in the galaxy, but the black hole seems to be still moving in the starry sky. other galaxies.

  According to Hong Changfeng's exploration before he came over, as soon as the reconnaissance drone entered the hyperspace channel and entered the opposite side, it was quickly captured by the gravity of the black hole and could not escape.

  According to the detection picture, it can be clearly seen that Ye Xuandong's fleet is in the opposite galaxy, parked above the orbit of the black hole, slowly circling the black hole, and slowly sliding towards the black hole.

   If you can't break free, it is estimated that after more than ten years, this fleet will slowly slide into the black hole and be swallowed.

   To Li Qing's surprise, this fleet did not respond to the pull of the black hole.

  Even a frigate, even if it is only equipped with fourth-generation propellers, can easily escape the gravitational field before being completely captured by gravity. This fleet includes a Titan super flag, and it can even forcibly leap away against the gravity of a black hole.

   "Have you sent a frigate over to take a look?"

   Hong Changfeng shook his head:

   "I didn't send them for fear of alarming them. I only sent some unmanned reconnaissance planes disguised as meteorites and sent them over."

"Well"

  Li Qing pinched his chin and remained silent for a while, then said:

   "Send a clone to take a look."

   Soon a clone sat on a frigate with a predetermined target and sailed to the opposite galaxy.

  Five hours later, the frigate returns with the clone intact.

  Through the reconnaissance equipment that comes with the frigate, it can be seen that after the frigate enters the opposite galaxy, it is immediately affected by the strong gravity of the black hole and changes its course, but the frigate can easily get rid of the gravity of the black hole and return home after starting the propeller.

"no problem."

Li Qing rubbed his chin, ordered another ten frigates to be sent over, and then did not take them back immediately, but scheduled the return time for these ten frigates respectively, which were 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, etc. There are ten grades in total, and the last return flight time is one month.

  This galaxy looks a little weird, he dare not be careless.

   At this time, we can wait for Li Lie and Li Qi to rush over.

  As time went by, the frigates returned one by one, and there was no change in the inspection, neither the battleship nor the clone crew.

   "This is weird."

  He thought about it, and decided to go to explore by himself. Anyway, he has the universe in his hand, and he can enter the universe in the palm as soon as there is a change.

Put all the battleships of Li Lie, Li Qi and others who have already rushed over into the universe in the palm, and then re-condense a psychic entity and put it in a battleship. The battleship finds a safe place to park in the galaxy, and then Li Qing is alone Drive a battleship through the hyperspace channel and enter the opposite black hole galaxy.

   The battleship just passed through the hyperspace channel and entered the opposite galaxy, and immediately felt that the battleship was shocked by the powerful gravity of the black hole.

  Through the battleship sensor, you can clearly see the all-swallowing darkness in the center of the galaxy. Beyond the event horizon is the dazzling accretion disk. The billowing energy and matter are captured by the powerful gravity of the black hole, swallowed into the black hole and disappear.

  At first glance, apart from the large mass of the black hole, there is nothing unusual, and nothing special can be seen inside or outside the event horizon of the black hole, except for the huge fleet.

   It is certain that it is Ye Xuandong's fleet, the model and logo of the spaceship, and the outgoing signals all clearly show that they are Ye Xuandong and his son who escaped from the outpost.

but

   At this time, this huge fleet is like a ghost fleet quietly parked on the orbit of the black hole, and is slowly sliding towards the black hole event horizon with the gravity of the black hole.

  No response, Li Qing tried to send a message, but there was no response.

  He tried to send a message to Ye Xiao through communication, but it showed that he was not in the same galaxy, which meant that Ye Xiao was not in this fleet.

   "Where did you go?"

  He ordered the warship not to follow the current, but to take the initiative to sail in the direction of the ghost fleet, but here, because they could not enter the sub-light speed, they had to fly four or five days to get close at their distance.

This is a black hole galaxy. The gravitational influence of the black hole is not only on the material level, but also on the subspace level. It may not have reached the end, but directly entered the depths of the black hole, and even plunged directly into the horizon of the black hole and died suddenly on the spot.

  Four or five days passed quickly, and the battleship finally approached the target, and the silhouette of the quietly floating ghost fleet could be seen from a distance.

  The battleship is still very new. Although the fleet looks lonely and cold like a ghost fleet, the battleship itself has not changed much, but there seems to be no one inside.

  He tried sending a message to the fleet, still no response.

   "Nanai's, where did they go?"

  For some reason, Li Qing felt a little cold for no reason.

   "I don't care, I'll leave after collecting."

  He stretched out his hand and opened the door of the black hole in front of the fleet gliding, and the ghost fleet slowly slid towards the door of the black hole along with the inertia.

  But at this moment, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the horizon of the black hole located in the center of the galaxy, and an invisible wave swept across. Li Qing, who was collecting the ghost fleet, shuddered violently, raised his head suddenly, and was stunned and motionless.

   Almost instantly, Li Qing felt an unimaginable force coming, and then he flew out of the battleship involuntarily and slid towards the center of the black hole at an unimaginable speed.

   Soon, I realized that it wasn't me flying out, but my consciousness and soul were pulled out of my body by some unimaginable force, and slid towards the center of the black hole at a super fast speed.

  At this moment, he already knew that Ye Xuandong and the others must have encountered the same situation as himself.

   Communicate with the universe in the palm without hesitation, a black hole emerges behind him and expands rapidly, the power from the universe in the palm quickly counteracts the gravitational force from the black hole, and his figure freezes quickly.

   At this moment, it was only a dozen seconds before the soul was sucked out of the body, and he had already appeared on the edge of the event horizon of the black hole, which was estimated to be less than 10,000 kilometers away from the event horizon. According to this speed, he would be sucked into it by one second.

   "Warp space exists? Or."

  Li Qing carefully looked at the sight-swallowing black hole event horizon less than 10,000 kilometers ahead. At this time, he was at the location of the black hole's terrifying accretion disk, from which billowing energy and matter poured into the black hole like a waterfall and disappeared.

  But at this time, he opened the universe in the palm deep in the accretion disk, and the power from the universe in the palm is affecting the gravitational field of the black hole, thus causing a large amount of energy and matter that should have been poured into the black hole to flow into the black hole in the universe in the palm.

   It's just that the gravitational force emitted by the universe in his palm is not enough, it can only guarantee his own safety, and the scope of influence is not large.
