While Li Qinwu was busy playing the flute to repair the Solar Sail, the Fortune had already caught up to the last T'au Warship.
That T'au Warship had been only a little way from reaching the Mandeville Point and escaping this planet.
A Mandeville Point referred to the point in a star system with the least gravitational interference.
Basically, regardless of race, their warships had two travel modes: conventional travel and Warp travel, or rather, Sub-light Travel.
With conventional travel, you could go wherever you wanted and fly in any direction.
But to conduct Warp travel, or rather, Sub-light Travel, you had to reach a Mandeville Point, where there was no interference from stellar gravity.
Only in a place free of gravitational interference could a Warp Engine, or rather, a Sub-light Engine, successfully activate.
Thus, after entering a star system and emerging from the Mandeville Point, a warship generally had to switch to conventional engines.
To travel between star systems, it had to reach a Mandeville Point and activate high-speed travel mode somewhere free of stellar gravitational interference.
From Sweet Star to the Mandeville Point, a human warship needed roughly five days, while a T'au Warship needed roughly four and a half.
That elite T'au researcher had said before that if the human warships only possessed their previous speed, then if the three warships fled separately, at least one of them would reach the Mandeville Point and activate Sub-light Travel to escape the star system.
But once the human warships' speed suddenly surged, not a single ship would escape.
Now, the prophecy had come true!
After three days of pursuit, when the T'au Warship was only a day and a half from the Mandeville Point, the Fortune successfully flew in behind it.
Inside the Fortune's bridge, an officer shouted:
"Captain,
