Interstellar Super Empire

Chapter 227 Lost
After saving the person, Zhong Yun controlled the spaceship and flew to the original route. After such a long time, it is reasonable to say that he should have returned to the original place long ago, but he didn't.

Then he discovered that the star map had also expired.They can't locate themselves and don't know where they are.

This also means they are lost.

The star map is the most important tool for space flight. With it, you will not lose your way.Being lost in the universe is basically the same as seeking death.

If you get lost in the desert, as long as you find a direction and keep going, there is a great chance of getting out.But if you get lost in the universe, the probability of encountering a planet with people is not much higher than the probability of finding an administrative star in the universe.Both belong to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The star map will become invalid because it suddenly entered a place outside the star map, as long as it returns to the star map area, it can make it work again.

But it has been several days, and they have not returned to the original place.

Because there are various gravitational forces in the universe, the gravitational force of stars, the gravitational force of planets, even the gravitational force of comets and so on.In fact, the flight trajectory of the spacecraft cannot be a straight line.A little gravity can make the spacecraft deviate from the orbit, and as long as the flight orbit deviates by 0.01 degrees, you will never reach the destination.

One of the functions of the star map is to adjust the direction so that the spacecraft travels in the correct direction.This reorientation happens every half hour and is done to save energy.

Therefore, the spacecraft is in the wrong direction more than 90.00% of the time during its navigation.With the function of adjusting the direction of the star map, the spaceship can reach the destination correctly.

The failure of the star map is almost a devastating blow to the spacecraft.

Fortunately, the detector is still working, and the power of the detector on the Mercury is turned on to the maximum. It can detect the specific situation within 100 kilometers nearby, the existence of high-density metal objects within [-] kilometers, and the presence of high-density metal objects within [-] million kilometers. violent energy fluctuations.

Even so, the chances of finding a place with people are slim.Because the universe is just too big. Compared with the entire universe, the range of 100 million kilometers is no different from an atom.

The two spaceships had been drifting here for a month. Zhong Yun didn't know where he had arrived. The space remote sensors also failed and he was unable to communicate with the outside world.

The bad feeling in his heart became more and more clear.Getting lost in the universe is a very scary thing, Zhong Yun has experienced it once, although this time he has two advanced spaceships Mars and Mercury.But that sense of anxiety has not diminished in the slightest.

Even Xiaoling was helpless, which was a huge blow to Zhong Yun. Xiaoling had always been omnipotent, but now his biggest reliance had also lost its effect.Make him a little flustered.

All Zhong Yun's training stopped, and he stayed in the main control room of the Mercury all day, researching ways to get out of trouble.

After a month of aimless drifting, Zhong Yun made up his mind and decided to change his strategy, go steadily and steadily, and recreate a star map.The reason why the star map fails is not because of a machine failure, but because the position in the star map cannot be located.

The Mercury was originally a spaceship for exploration, and it possessed extremely advanced star map production equipment. Although the work of recreating a star map is huge, it is better than running around like a headless chicken.

In terms of food, the Mercury has a food synthesis machine, which is nothing more than carbohydrates. The elements that make up carbohydrates can be found everywhere in the universe, plus some proteins and vitamins.

The output is more than enough to supply 8000 people. The only problem is energy. Although the energy on Mars and Mercury is still sufficient, they will run out one day, so they must be used sparingly.

At the same time, the charging plate on the outer wall is opened, and the universe is filled with various rays, which can be converted into energy.Although the converted energy cannot fully replenish the consumption, it is still quite considerable.

In terms of the huge reserves of the two spaceships, this consumption is not worth mentioning.But there is also a problem. After the charging plate is opened, the protective ability of the spacecraft will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Zhong Yun only opens the charging board of one spaceship at a time, and the other spaceship is always on alert to prevent accidents from happening.

The speed of the spaceship is not fast because of the need to make the star map. Fortunately, it is fully automatic, otherwise Zhong Yun would not be able to do it alone.He didn't call the six for help.He didn't dare to let anyone into the control room casually.

Half a month later, on this day, Zhong Yun brought the Mercury close to a planet, which was an ordinary planet, not suitable for human habitation.There is no atmosphere and the environment is harsh.

Zhong Yun came here to collect some samples, because Xiao Ling found that the distribution of elements here was a bit strange.When collecting some carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements to make food on an asteroid, it was accidentally discovered that the metal content of that planet was unusual.Especially some rare metal elements, the content is ridiculously high.

Later, several asteroids were collected, and the metal content was also abnormally high.Once was a coincidence, but with the same result several times, that only proves one thing.This area is a star field rich in metal elements.

Even Xiao Ling was amazed by the abundance of some rare metal reserves, and what is even rarer is that the scope of publication is so wide.If this mineral belt is discovered, it is likely to trigger a war between the two countries.Because these rare metals are so tempting.

After the Mercury landed on the planet, it released the remote-controlled collection ship and landed on the planet. After collecting some rocks on the surface, it began to explore underground. The collection ship has large-scale drilling equipment. First, it drilled 100 meters underground. Gather some rocks and continue down.

When we drilled 5000 meters underground, the drilling machine encountered something unknown and the drill bit was scrapped.

Zhong Yun was a little surprised when he got the news. He had read the instruction manual and found that the drilling machine had a very strong penetrating power. Except for the hardest alloys, there was nothing it could not penetrate.Even the shell of a spaceship can be drilled through if given enough time. (This is the ad on the manual)

What is buried under the ground that is so hard?

Zhong Yun sent the detection robot on the collection vehicle down, and the result was very strange. The detection results of the detection vehicle showed that the bottom was just an ordinary rock.

That's weird.Zhong Yun ordered the robot to take out the rock, and the report showed that the rock was too large to be taken out.

What kind of rock is it?Zhong Yun wanted to know what surprises this planet could give him, rubbed his hands, replaced the drilling machine with a spare drill bit, and started drilling again.

Five minutes later, the drilling machine's drill bit was damaged again.Zhong Yun was shocked, and he specifically asked Xiao Ling, what are some things in nature that this drilling machine cannot drill through.

Xiao Ling's answer is that no matter what kind of rock it is, its value is immeasurable just because of its hardness.

Zhong Yun acted fiercely and dispatched dozens of excavation machines at once. He must dig out the rock and study it clearly.

This digging lasted seven days.Originally, Zhong Yun would not waste time like this, but the astonishing discovery underground made him unable to stop.He even had a vague feeling in his heart that this amazing discovery might be the key to their escape.

Zhong Yun originally thought that it would only take a few hours to dig out that rock, but later he discovered that the "rock" was incredibly huge.

Excavators have dug out a huge pit with a radius of nearly [-] kilometers, but the end of this "rock" is still not visible.

Zhong Yun couldn't even restrain himself, and drove the Mercury down, wanting to see it for himself.I was surprised at first glance, what kind of rock is this? The surface is flat and smooth, not a small part, but the entire thousand square kilometers is so flat.There's no way it's a natural formation.

There must be some secret hidden here, Zhong Yun thought.

Could it be, like the Mercury, a spaceship buried underground?He wants to know.But he has nothing to do with this "rock".Neither the high-energy ion gun nor his ion-oscillating knife with a destructive power of eight thousand units of energy could leave even the slightest trace on this smooth "rock".

This aroused Zhong Yun's curiosity even more, and he simply sent all the digging robots down.

Seven days have passed, and the edge of the flat "rock" has not yet been dug. I really don't know how big it is.

Zhong Yun is obsessed with it, and will never give up until he finds out what it is.By the way, you can take a break from this planet.

It's been a while since the rough stones were in his hands, but because he was in a hurry, Zhong Yun didn't stop to add a few to Xiaoling.Every time Xiaoling installs the original stone, it will restart once. After restarting, it is like an evolution, and it is more powerful every time.

Zhong Yun hopes that after this restart, Xiao Ling can find a way to leave this ghost place.He had repeatedly scouted and found that the area was relatively safe.So I took this opportunity to equip Little Zero with new rough stones.

He picked out two hundred of the best quality and put them on Xiaoling.Originally, he wanted to install all the more than 500 pieces together, but was stopped by Xiao Ling, because if too many were installed at one time, it would take a long time to restart, and I don’t know when it will be completed.

Xiao Ling expected that the restart would be completed in two months. During this period, Mars would be unmanned and could only park on that planet.

Zhong Yun, on the other hand, was driving the Mercury to patrol around the planet, and he would never let down his vigilance at any time.During this period, he ate and slept on the podium.

Time passed day by day, and the "rock" still hadn't been dug out, and now the dug out soil was almost piled up into a Himalaya mountain.

In front of this "rock", the prospecting instrument also lost its function, and it couldn't even distinguish this "rock" from each other, as if they were one.

Zhong Yun felt more and more interesting.
