Decisive Action

The Science Officer's words chilled the atmosphere on the bridge from freezing to freezing again, and everyone felt a chill run from their feet to their brains.

Is this the end for humanity? If it's a problem with the spacecraft's propulsion, then humanity has many ways and solutions, such as discarding excess mass.

Wasting supplies, discarding the Callisto Warship, Callisto Warship Five, Callisto Warship Six, or even dismantling and discarding a section of the Hope, such as those carrying heavy industrial equipment or some suspension modules that are not currently in use, is not out of the question.

Anything that can reduce the weight of the Hope can be discarded.

But now the problem isn't with the propulsion system, but with the fragility of the human body itself.

Scientists have already calculated that if the five Fusion Thruster were running at full power, it would only take 10.6 hours to propel the Hope spacecraft from a relatively stationary state to 15% of the speed of light.

This means that the five Fusion Thruster can instantly provide the Hope, a large Residential Spaceship, with an acceleration of 90G. The Hope is Residential Spaceship with a considerable mass, so this power is truly impressive.

In other words, simply putting two Fusion Thruster on a warship could probably provide even greater acceleration, since the warship's mass isn't as large as the Hope's.

What is the Hope's acceleration now? 6 Gs.

This is already the limit for ordinary humans. Exceeding this acceleration will cause varying degrees of damage to the human body.

Of course, people with special training can withstand even higher accelerations, but most of the people on the Hope are ordinary people.

What should we do?

The sudden turn of events made the atmosphere inside the bridge of the Hope extremely oppressive. Those who worked on the bridge were generally highly scientific and had all thought of this.

But what good are thinking about it? The key is how to solve it.

But this is a problem with the human body itself, what can be done? Yue Yuan also had a bitter look on his face. Although he had inhaled the alien's Red Gas, it only improved his lifespan and anti-cancer factors. In essence, he was still human and had not become a superman.

Indeed, as a soldier, he has a habit of exercising, and it is true that his physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, but that strength is only at the human level.

Under super-G acceleration, what should turn into a meat patty will still turn into a meat patty.

After a brief silence, Yue Yuan said in a deep voice, "Starting from the Hope's current speed, how much acceleration do we need to withstand before the Hope can shake off the interception of that Silver Mist?"

He knew that the longer it dragged on, the closer the Silver Mist would get, and consequently, the greater the acceleration humans would have to endure to escape, and the smaller their chances of survival would become.

Therefore, he could no longer remain silent.

Faced with the problems of humanity itself, Yue Yuan had no other choice; not only him, but all scientists were helpless.

After all, no one can develop a method for Acceleration Buffer Fluid or strengthening the body within an hour, and then implement it on the Hope or all its crew members.

From research to reality, something goes through a process.

So now Yue Yuan can only pray that this limit isn't too high.

"It's 15 gigabytes." The Science Officer confirmed the calculation result with a snap, then answered in a slightly trembling voice.

Hearing this number, Yue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that it wasn't 30 G or 60 or 70 G, which wasn't too high and there was still hope. Without any hesitation, he immediately gritted his teeth and almost roared, "Engine Crew, prepare to accelerate again immediately! Communicator, immediately notify all crew members of the Hope that the situation with Silver Mist has changed, and everyone should prepare to withstand the high-G impact. Hurry, we don't have time!"

We must act immediately, otherwise, if we delay any longer, 15 GB will become 16 GB.

As for how the entire crew should prepare for the impact, they can only be mentally prepared, since the Hope is already accelerating and all crew members had already secured themselves to their cushioning seats.

The reason for this announcement is simply to give everyone a heads-up.

And tell them the reason why the Hope had to undertake this life-or-death acceleration.

"'Tianhe Light' executes my order and immediately initiates the warship unhooking procedure, detaching both Callisto Warship Five, Callisto Warship Six!" Yue Yuan made a decisive decision and immediately summoned 'Tianhe Light'.

"Commander Yue, what's going on? The problem with the Hope isn't about quality, is it?" Man Yuemei asked immediately, puzzled. She felt that Yue Yuan couldn't possibly be unaware of what she knew, but this order was tantamount to abandoning the ships Callisto Warship Five and Callisto Warship Six, which really puzzled her.

Yue Yuan continued, tilting his head back as if giving orders to 'Tianhe Light' or answering Man Yuemei's question, "After the two ships separate from the Hope, immediately activate autopilot mode. I order 'Tianhe Light' to immediately copy two sub- Intelligent Program to control the Callisto Warship Five and Callisto Warship Six. Set the target: to interfere with the Silver Mist Consciousness with results that any algorithm can calculate, slowing down their pursuit speed. Self-destruct program authorization number: 5jkhg996a48g72154, quantum security information code: ***********. Execute immediately!"

"'Tianhe Light' understands that the procedure has been executed and is currently in the countdown to release the suspension hook: 10, 9, 8, 7."

After saying a long string of words, Yue Yuan finally explained, "15G is too much, it won't work. Hopefully, the two warships can buy us some time."

The Callisto Warship Five and Callisto Warship Six are the same type of warships as the Callisto Warship. Due to the small population, they were originally intended to be used as backup ships, but the equipment on them was all equipped according to the standards of the Callisto Warship.

Therefore, both warships were equipped with Positron Cannon, red and Blue Laser Weapon, and hydrogen bombs. Furthermore, since they weren't needed for the time being, the space inside the two warships was used as a temporary warehouse, storing various metal materials, but now all of these materials would be discarded.

If the two warships do not meet expectations, even the Callisto Warship can be sent out.

Keep it for future reference.

However, considering that the Hope might experience various problems under high G-forces, such as dizziness, and that he might not be able to give the order at that time, Yue Yuan gave the 'Tianhe Light' a backup program command again.

If things don't go smoothly, "Tianhe Light" will immediately execute the backup program command. Yue Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately entered the corresponding authorization code into the system.

I never imagined that, in the end, such an important instruction would have to rely on Artificial Intelligence to complete.

In fact, it wasn't just the interception of that Silver Mist mission, but also a series of adjustments made by the Hope after its high-G acceleration, all of which had to be accomplished by the 'Tianhe Light'.

Because by then, Yue Yuan didn't know how many people inside the bridge or the Hope would remain conscious.
