842. The Lost Fleet (13)
Time goes back to one hour ago, Halm system.
The fleets led by General Trench and Fourth Civilization Fleet C and the fleets led by Galaxy Governor of the 20th Republic Army Octavian-Grant are facing each other. The fleets of both sides are equally powerful, and because Blade Fleet is such a huge benefit, no one wants to lose strength in advance.
11.7 light years is indeed very close for hyperspace navigation, but for Sublight navigation, it is an astronomical number that is insurmountable!
Hyperspace is like an elusive river, flowing in and out, with stable channels and unpredictable streams. What they are waiting for now is when the river will flow into this 11.7 light-year space.
Behind Fourth Civilization fleet, three Luukri-Hok-class battleship fully loaded with Gran Marines and one Astro-class frigate were parked here, waiting for the opportunity to come.
On the wide bridge of Luukri-Hok-class battleship, thousands of technicians and navigators are intensively calculating hyperspace data through computers, trying to find a useful pattern in the mess.
Republic fleet is doing the same thing over there.
Tang Xiao is sitting in the cockpit of Astro-class frigate, and the old god is drinking coffee.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Cun Te said with a smile.
"That's for sure. Blade Fleet was actually found by Sefrans-Tann, which really surprised me. And the location of Blade Fleet is near our control area, which is even more surprising. It can be said that I have already got half of Blade Fleet." Tang Xiao said.
"You mentioned this fleet to me before, but I couldn't find any clues. Now that it suddenly appears, it can only be said to be fate." Cun Te said.
"Sometimes destiny is doomed. Sometimes I think that the so-called destiny in this world is often the arrangement of the Force. So, who is arranging the Force?" Tang Xiao said with his hands behind his head and looking at the ceiling.
"Every time I talk about the Force, you seem to be a different person. Oh, well, actually you have two faces." Cun Te said with a smile.
"Because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will have to face this existence that controls everything. Actually, have you ever thought about it, you and I are originally from two different worlds, but why did we end up on the mothership?" Tang Xiao sighed softly.
"Of course I have."
"Then...?"
"Then I discovered that I can now brag to others that Governor of Dawn Star Planet and I are close buddies."
"Hahahahahahaha..." Tang Xiao laughed loudly and happily.
"I'm serious. You conquer your galaxy, and I explore my starry sky. Until now, we are people from two worlds." Cun Te said with a smile.
"I know." Tang Xiao stretched out his fist.
Cun Te also raised his hand and gave him a light punch. He sat on the bridge with a coffee cup and looked at the screen. "Well, your engineers are really amazing. They have already produced results. In about an hour, a hyperspace link for navigation will appear."
"Ah... I know." Tang Xiao stood up and came to the porthole, looking at the vast universe outside the window. From here, no warships can be seen except for the starry sky. Compared with the universe, those so-called thousand-meter giant ships are actually so small that they cannot even be described in words.
However, one could see a dense patch of starlight flashing continuously.
Tang Xiao knew that every bit of starlight was a big explosion that stretched for at least several hundred meters - the fleets of both sides started fighting again.
There is no doubt that Galactic Republic engineers also calculated this result at the same time.
Cun Te kept staring at the data on the screen, thinking for a while, and then said, "I think we can leave early."
Tang Xiao's eyes lit up. This was why he came to Cun Te, "Can you really advance?"
"Although my previous memories have become much blurred, I still remember that I was once trapped in the alien space of Noman people. I have sufficient experience with this abnormal hyperspace." Cun Te said.
"So, you can enter hyperspace before the hyperspace link?" Tang Xiao asked, "Is there any theoretical support?"
"I can only tell you, no. This is just an old captain's intuition." Cun Te stretched out two fingers and shook his brow, "You can understand it as, I am driving a spaceship to surf in hyperspace - walking ahead of the tide."
Tang Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Anyway, it's okay to drive a small boat, and it's okay to drive a big ship. Why don't I get a bigger boat for you?"
Cun Te was stunned for a moment, "How big is the ship?"
A moment later, Cun Te stood on the bridge of Luukri-Hok-class battleship and went crazy, "Are you fucking crazy? Ah? Are you really crazy? What gives you the confidence to think that I can drive this 3,000-meter donut to surf?!?!"
The surrounding crew members were silent. They had never seen anyone dare to make such a fuss in front of the governor in their lives.
"I think you can really do it." Tang Xiao said lightly.
"But I don't think so! This is completely suicide! I will be torn to pieces by hyperspace!" Cun Te roared.
"I will go with you too." Tang Xiao continued.
"That's even worse! I'm telling you, this is completely suicide!! Why don't you go and do something? Wouldn't it be better to hug that big star at home to warm the bed? He must come here to die and drag me with him!!" Cun Te continued to roar.
"Time is running out, let's bet on this." Tang Xiao turned around and said, "This is the tip the Force gave me."
"I... Fuck!! If I die here today, it will definitely be your fault!" Cun Te finally accepted his fate and rushed to the operating table, busy in front of countless buttons.
As time passed, the battle between the fleets of both sides became more and more intense. Even behind the array, missiles and some laser beams flew over from time to time.
Ten minutes later, Cun Te said solemnly, "Notify the hyperspace engine team to increase the power of the hyperspace engine to the maximum within 20 seconds after I issue the command."
"Are you crazy? This is impossible! You don't know how big Luukri-Hok-class is! How is it possible to increase the engine power to the maximum in 20 seconds?!" Head of Technical Department went crazy at that time.
Cun Te pointed at Tang Xiao who was standing over there, already wearing a black cloak, and exuding a terrifying and cold atmosphere. Oh no, it was Darth-Malthael, "This is what he meant. If you have any opinions, you can go to him."
The technical director glanced over there, trembled all over, and said to himself as if to vent, "Okay, I can overload, overload, overload... turn off all the safety valves, and then fucking overload it for me!"
Cun Te stared at the hyperspace readings, and then suddenly shouted, "Now! Start!!"
After saying that, he pushed the joystick all the way!
On the other side, the technical director simply ignored the countless alarms that appeared on the screen and continued to increase the engine power. Finally, at exactly 20 seconds, the hyperspace engine reached the threshold for entering hyperspace.
In an instant, the Luukri-Hok-class battleship suddenly disappeared from the universe and entered another space.
Das-Malthael glanced at Cun Te, who was still busy, and suddenly came to the console, pushed the operator away, grabbed the rudder of the battleship and turned it directly to the right!
