The Last Omega

The straight-line distance between the chaotic zone and the space station is very long, but the travel time to and from it is not much, because both are near the jump point.

The jump is undoubtedly a method used by interstellar humans. It may violate some physical theories, but it is a very practical means.

"It's hard to believe how people discovered it." Allen was chatting with the co-pilot of the spaceship, watching the people on the bridge prepare for the upcoming jump, "Since the jump violates certain physics theories, the first How do individuals discover and use it?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence. Sometimes new scientific discoveries start from coincidences." The co-pilot said.

"The scary thing is that everyone recognizes this kind of coincidence instead of doubting and verifying it." Allen said, "Sometimes human beings are stubborn and terrible, and the contest between the sun-centered theory and the earth-centered theory can last for hundreds of years. Sometimes they are too flexible. , such as using such technical means that do not understand the principle at all.”

"It's not that I don't understand at all." The co-pilot said, "Have you found the common characteristics of the jump point?"

"Many are near planets or satellite points."

"Yes. The vacuum is not empty. On a microscopic scale, it is full of violent quantum fluctuations." The co-pilot said, "Quantum fluctuations make it possible to open the entrance of the wormhole, and the gravitational field makes this possible. become larger. Therefore, near certain planets or satellite points, the transition wormhole is relatively stable."

"But how was this discovered?" Allen asked again, "Someone happened to discover the transition wormholes near the two planets? Then calculated their coordinates?"

"We talked about this issue just now. It's probably a coincidence. The explanation I gave you is just an inaccurate generalization. If we discuss it in detail, maybe we will talk about quantum theory and general relativity. But I guess you should not be interested."

"Yeah, I'm not interested in physics. I just don't think it's something that humans invented," Allen said. "It's beyond our cognition, and it doesn't conform to our habits of doing things."

"This doesn't prevent us from using it well." The co-pilot noticed his expression and suddenly realized, "Are you worried about the safety of the jump?"

"Yes. I don't worry about this thing." Allen said, "If a wormhole suddenly closes, won't we never be able to get out?"

Allen looked at the bridge worriedly.He is full of worries about interstellar travel, so he rarely leaves Xingdian.This time it was Sean who grabbed him up.

At this moment, Sean was standing next to the captain, which made the captain a little nervous.

"It doesn't look right now." The co-pilot said, "As long as the jump coordinates are set correctly."

On the bridge, the driver is inputting coordinate values ​​to the controller.This is a military cargo ship, and Sean obviously requisitioned it temporarily, which made Allen feel even more insecure—for example, military cargo ships, he thinks that combat ships are safer, after all, the armor of those ships is thick enough .

But Sean found a cargo ship, and these crew members were probably as ignorant as himself.

Except for the co-pilot.

"Prepare for the jump." The captain straightened his back, and everyone stared at the huge display screen on the bridge. The driver confirmed the coordinates, "The jump will take place in ten seconds."

"Oh, God." Allen held his breath.

The spacecraft began to count down.Allen stared at the display screen, and the co-pilot sat up a little more.

...three, two, one

Almost instantly, the pitch-black star map on the display screen disappeared, and a huge pearl-colored object covered the screen.

Allen was surprised to identify what it was, when Sean suddenly said loudly: "Evasive maneuver!"

The spaceship suddenly turned over and rolled over. After rolling several times in a row, the pearl color on the display screen was thrown out of the screen.The inertial system of the spaceship protects everyone, so that everyone's feet are always on the floor instead of being thrown around.

But even so, after Allen regained his senses, he almost spit out the coffee just now.

"I'll go." The co-pilot opposite him also opened his mouth, looking at the display screen in shock.

Allen turned his head and saw clearly what the pearl-colored object was—tens of kilometers away from them, five spaceships of different colors were exchanging fire fiercely.What they just dodged was the wreckage of one of them, and it was already burning and flying towards the atmosphere not far away.

If they were just a second or half a second late at night, the outcome at this moment would probably not be good.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and accelerated away from the center of the firefight.This kind of melee is common in chaotic areas. If you don't want to get into trouble, you should stay as far away from these lunatics as possible.

Sean nodded to the pilot, then looked at the captain, "Locate the target ship."

The captain felt guilty for his negligence just now, but he was only the captain of a cargo ship, and under normal circumstances, he would not encounter other people exchanging fire, so it should not be regarded as negligence.

He sneaked a glance at Sean, seeing that the latter did not intend to pursue the matter on the spot, so he quickly stepped aside from the captain's position and called out the controller terminal.

"The target is nearby." The captain recognized the location, and then froze, "It's... just where it was just now."

Sensors transmitted the scene behind the spacecraft to the display screen.In the center of the flames of war, there is a small civilian cargo ship trying to dodge.It is easy to identify, because it is much smaller than the battleship, and there are striking NS letters on the hull.

North's son is on that ship!

"Those warships seem to be competing for this cargo ship." The first officer said, "The cargo ship was also attacked."

"Let's wait in the distance." The captain said, "Let them make a difference first, and then we go to harvest the spoils."

"I'm afraid not. If this cargo ship was hijacked two days ago, after completing the jump and being attacked, their fuel may not last long." The first officer looked at Sean, "The protection level of civilian cargo ships Very low, as long as it is hit by a missile, the people on it will go directly into space and be frozen."

"Turn around," Sean said, "stop bad things before they happen."

"We're a cargo ship, Admiral. We don't have a weapon system," the captain said in surprise.

"Before departure, the weapon system has been installed back. You can rest for a while." Sean glanced at him, then nodded at the first officer, "authority override."

Soon, the captain's control terminal became locked.

Under his shocked gaze, the co-pilot who had been waiting by the side also walked to the bridge.

"The authorization is overridden." The first officer looked at the display screen intently.

"The weapon system is connected." The co-pilot, the weapon controller at the moment, also said.

"The weapon system warms up and approaches the target ship. After the first round of attack, I will take the infiltration ship to approach the target, and you will be responsible for deactivating several enemy ships." Sean watched the pilot turn the spaceship around, and then said, "Micro Brain connection."

The captain finally understood now—this is a reserve ship disguised as a cargo ship!These crew members are soldiers lurking on the ship, and the weapon system may have been hidden on it.

He turned back dumbfounded, and saw Dr. Allen who was equally dazed.

"I think we might as well stay away from each other so as not to get in the way." Allen smiled at him.The two walked away, trying to find a relatively safe place.

After all, the spaceship is heading towards the center of the firefight now.

Sean changed into protective clothing and entered the hangar of the infiltration ship.

"Major General, just to be on the safe side, you'd better go after we have resolved these problems." The first officer said on the microcomputer, "Now we have targeted the weapon systems of the three ships on the left. We can launch missiles at them at the same time. Then cool down for two seconds before attacking the other two. But again, they will find us soon. If they attack us in this gap. Our particle beam can only destroy two at a time, and the remaining three will become trouble."

"What are you going to do?" Sean checked the equipment of the infiltration ship, and at the same time connected the control system of the spaceship to his brain.

"I need to turn on the anti-missile system and maneuver after the launch." The first mate said, "But this will not be able to cover fire for you for at least a few seconds, and you will become the target of all warships."

"The distance is too close now, it is no escape zone." The weapon controller also said, "Major General, if we start now..."

"Death for sure?" Sean smiled softly, "The algorithm of the no-escape zone needs to be changed."

In everyone's astonishment, Sean said, "Prepare for the attack, empty the aircraft cabin."

The spaceship has reached the best position for the first attack. Three missiles locked the weapon system of the battleship on the left and flew out at the same time. At the same time, the air in the hangar where the penetration ship was located was evacuated.

After the first round of attacks, the five warships in the melee really spotted the uninvited guest, and five missiles rushed towards them one after another.Sean drove the infiltration ship out of the hangar, and the spaceship turned on the evasion mode. While evading, the high-temperature particle book accurately destroyed two missiles.The anti-missile system blocked the other two.

"Major General!" The first officer exclaimed, "You are locked by the missile!"

A late fifth missile locked onto Sheen's infiltration ship.

The speed of the missile is much higher than that of the infiltration ship. They can predict the path. If Sean does not change the course, he will definitely be hit in the front after two or three seconds.If you change direction, the missile changes too.

"I hope you haven't forgotten everything in the theory class." Sean said on the microcomputer, "First point, we are near a gravity well."

He primed the engine, and as the missile rushed toward the predicted point, Sean slammed the infiltration ship into a yaw, pointing to the right of the missile.The missile then changed its route and entered the second interception path.Sean turned right again, flying parallel to the missile, which had to make another sharp turn this time.

However, under the influence of the gravitational field, such violent movements will undoubtedly cause a sharp drop in speed.

"The second point is to save the speed. The faster the speed, the farther the interception point will be." After he finished speaking, he accelerated in level flight, and when the missile intercepted for the third time, he suddenly turned [-] degrees to the left and rushed straight to the missile's position.

The cooling of the spacecraft's weapon system ended, and the newly launched torpedoes paralyzed the other two warships.Those homeless people obviously saw that this warship disguised as a cargo ship had a lot of background, and fled away one after another.

However, Sean's behavior of rushing towards the missile made everyone gasp.

Don't you want to escape?Why did you go in the opposite direction?

"The third point is to wait for an opportunity to counterattack." Sean suddenly pressed the attack button, and a miniature torpedo shot out. He raised the nose of the aircraft to 90 degrees almost at the same time, and the infiltration boat rushed forward like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, and then Rolling maneuver, 180-degree horizontal steering is completed in an instant.

The infiltration ship headed straight for the cargo ship. Behind him, the missile that had no time to change its course in the future was hit by a torpedo and exploded silently.

Avoiding missiles is a compulsory course for pilots, and it is also the most useless theoretical course in everyone's eyes, because the energy loss of missiles in space is very small, and it is not realistic to reduce the opponent's energy consumption and speed through maneuvering.

But now, Major General Sheen taught them a solid lesson.

"Send the location of the target ship." Sean reminded on Weibo, "The signal received by my side is seriously attenuated."

"Received." On the spaceship, the first officer suddenly froze, and then he zoomed in on the image of the target cargo ship, "Not good, major general, the cargo ship is seriously damaged, and it is now rolling into the atmosphere!"

Sean had already reached the position before the cargo ship, and upon hearing this, he immediately turned and rushed towards the damaged cargo ship that rolled down.

Once the cargo ship is inserted into the atmosphere, the people and things on it will be burned into a meteor.If Sean boarded the ship at this time, I am afraid there will be no other fate.

At least it will be burnt to coke.

The crew was really anxious this time, but no one dared to persuade them.

"Major General!" Just as everyone was holding their breath, the pilot suddenly said, "Another spaceship is approaching the target ship!"

The monitor screen was uploaded from Microcomputer immediately.Sean avoided a flaming debris and got a good view of the ship.

Fendra.

Fendra of the first base, who was one step ahead of them, was at a high position at this time, flying in sync with the falling cargo ship.

Definitely not Davis' idea.

Sean frowned slightly, and immediately zoomed in on the surveillance map on the Weibo. Sure enough, at the wing hatch of Fendra, there was a familiar figure wearing an aviation suit, who suddenly spread his arms and jumped towards the cargo ship like an eagle flying.

"Someone is rescued!" The pilot excitedly said, "Major General, please leave the target ship immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw on the monitor that the engine of the infiltration ship was full, and it was heading towards the cargo ship at full speed.
