Chapter 87 Time and Space Turbulence
Long Xingyi originally planned to capture him before the dream builder knocked him down the cliff, but now it is September in golden autumn. It is estimated that he has been knocked off the cliff long ago. It is impossible to go back and save him. However, he looked at Yin Yuting beside him and thought that this would be good. In this way, he would not disappear out of thin air in this time and space, and would still be with Yin Yuting according to the original plot. As for the dream builder... Anyway, he can't run away even if he stays in 2017, so he will wait to go back before looking for him! I guess he was knocked off the cliff and his actions would be even more rampant. Long Xingyi can only hold this idea now.
After living in the spacecraft for several days, the supplies on the spacecraft were still diverse. It seems that General Hyman has made sufficient preparations for his long-distance trip. However, Long Xingyi must be tested and confirmed to be harmless to the people on earth before he dares to eat it with confidence.
Although Long Xingyi talks a lot, he is a person who can endure loneliness. He spent a while in such a boring life, so now he is doing nothing in just a few days without making him feel anxious. Yin Yuting is obviously getting more and more anxious, and she goes to the bridge several times a day to check the progress of the spacecraft.
"No need to look! No matter how you look, it will return to Earth at the scheduled speed. Why do you make yourself so anxious?" On this day, Long Xingyi saw Yin Yuting walking out of the cab with a sad face, and said pretending to be relaxed.
Yin Yuting gave Long Xingyi a angrily glance and complained: "What kind of spaceship! There is not even an activity room! I'm so bored..."
Long Xingyi pouted mischievously, "Isn't there a gym on the lower floor? Although I have hardly seen the equipment inside... a treadmill can always be used!"
"There is nothing else but fitness, I'm so bored!" Yin Yuting continued to complain.
Long Xingyi pretended to be a teenager and picked his fingers and said, "You young people! You are just impetuous. He has adapted to the fast-paced life, adapted to boring entertainment programs and soap operas, and slow down, calm down, and avoid being arrogant and impatient!"
"Don't tell me the big truth!" Yin Yuting said angrily, and actually played with a childish temper and walked past Long Xingyi.
Long Xingyi was thinking about how to coax her, but suddenly, red lights were everywhere in the corridor and alarms were ringing. Both of them were at a loss and stood there.
"Let you talk! I have something to do now!" Long Xingyi said in a pretentious manner: "Let's go! Go and take a look at the cab!"
The two walked into the cab. On the huge screen, there were holographic projections of several spacecraft and a string of Gamuxing texts. Through the translation system of the two, they saw that the screen was displayed with red characters: the warp engine was disturbed and foreign enemies were detected.
"What's the situation?" Long Xingyi asked in panic. According to his observations over the past few days, the spacecraft only has two simple small laser cannons as defensive weapons. It seems that it is a long-distance transportation spacecraft of the Gamu people, not a fighter. Now that they encounter enemies, they are simply being beaten as a living target.
Yin Yuting pointed to the huge porthole in front of the spacecraft and said to Long Xingyi: "No need to look at the screen, isn't this close enough?"
Long Xingyi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a row of strange spacecraft floating in the starry sky in the distance.
"Pride, what kind of spaceship is this?" Long Xingyi asked anxiously.
Pride narrowed the focal length, carefully scanned the spaceship in the distance, and calmly replied: "This is the old version of the Shadow Spies Combat Spaceship, which is a standard pirate ship. Those who drive these spaceships are usually Gandao Stars or small Tutu Stars."
"Looking at this posture... it doesn't look like a small force." Long Xingyi looked ahead, more and more spacecraft were breaking away from the warp speed and stopped not far from their side.
"Don't stand there! If you are close to each other, we will not be afraid of anything, but this is a battle between spacecraft, we are outnumbered!" Yin Yuting said, quickly walked to the front of the driver, fiddled with it, and ordered the computer: "Switch to manual driving mode!"
"The manual driving mode has been activated." said the spacecraft's central control system. Yin Yuting sat sideways on the chair behind the bridge, adjusting the joystick, and starting to manually drive the spacecraft.
Yin Yuting drove the spaceship, hurriedly turned the bow, away from the enemy ships in front and right, and quickly drove to the left.
"You should be slow!" Long Xingyi reminded worriedly, "Don't get lost anymore, you can't find the way home!"
"You are stupid!" Yin Yuting continued to drive the spaceship without looking back, "I have saved the preset route just now. When we throw them away, we can return to the preset route and continue moving forward."
"Okay, okay, you're still smart!" Long Xingyi walked to the front of the spaceship, frowned, and looked at the enemy ship that was turning behind their butts.
The pirate ship in the distance saw Long Xingyi's spaceship turning the bow and chased after him relentlessly. Long Xingyi was anxious and did not dare to urge Yin Yuting, for fear of placing her powder barrel again, so anxious that he could only stomp his feet silently.
"Oh no! There are also on the left!" Yin Yuting looked at the display on the radar and gradually became anxious, "Why are we so unlucky? We met a pirate ship at this time!"
"Oh, what's the use of saying this now? I'm not as good as you in the spacecraft, so I'm relying on you now!" Long Xingyi was actually complaining about his bad luck in his heart, but he didn't want to act too negative, so he could only complain in his heart.
Yin Yuting dodged left and right in the encirclement formed by the enemy, trying to distance herself from the pirate ship and get out of the encirclement. Seeing that they were so flexible, the pirate ship behind began to become restless, gradually narrowing the encirclement, and at the same time began to fire at them.
"It is not a way to be chased like this! You can control the weapon system and exchange fire with them, so they dare not drive too close... Maybe!" Yin Yuting said with no confidence.
Long Xingyi had no other choice but to sit on the weapon system console on the side, aimed backwards with only two laser cannons, and fired randomly at the enemy.
The space gun battle is different from the exchange of fire on the earth. In the vast universe, any movement and turning of the spacecraft, any deviation of a small angle will be a slight mistake, and it will be a huge mistake. Long Xingyi tried his best to aim at the spacecraft behind him, fired a few guns, but none of them hit. Seeing the bright artillery fire disappearing into the vast starry sky. Instead, dozens of enemy spacecraft efficiently organized a firepower net, and sporadic artillery fire continued to hit their spacecraft.
"If this continues, our protective cover will not last long." Yin Yuting said anxiously.
"Damn it, it really doesn't work. Let's find a planet to land first. Let's kill them on the ground!" Long Xingyi said a little angry.
"How can I find it that easy to find!" Yin Yuting dispelled his thoughts and said: "There are nine planets in the solar system, and how many are there in addition to the Earth?"
When Yin Yuting said this, Long Xingyi's eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered the science fiction film "Marl Rescue" he had watched before, and quickly turned around and said: "We can rely on the gravity of the planets! Are there any larger planets nearby? We borrowed the slingshot effect in its low-Earth orbit, orbited half a circle, completed acceleration, and threw away these turtle lambs!"
"The idea is good..." Yin Yuting heard Long Xingyi's suggestion and began to look for nearby planets on the screen. A few seconds later, she locked on a huge planet that looked like Jupiter in front of her left.
"Just rely on it! Start calculating the route." Yin Yuting said, typing the command on the keyboard that she didn't recognize.
"You can still know the machine instructions of Gamuxing?" Long Xingyi asked curiously as he looked at Yin Yuting's skillful movements.
Yin Yuting still replied without looking back: "The translation system, plus Gamuxing's advanced intelligent computer, is actually quite simple to give instructions."
Long Xingyi shrugged. As soon as he turned around, the spacecraft trembled violently. The large screen in front of Yin Yuting suddenly showed the model of the entire spacecraft. An area on it turned red, and a line of dazzling red words caught their eyes: "The protective cover failed and the warp engine was damaged."
"Damn! Isn't this pushing us to the dead end?" Long Xingyi looked at the big words above his head and scolded in anger.
"Don't be anxious first." At this time, Yin Yuting comforted him, "Let's take one step at a time! Let's shake them apart first. I will turn on all the useful thrusters, enter low-Earth orbit as soon as possible, and complete the acceleration."
After saying that, Yin Yuting pushed all the rows of joysticks on her left to the top, and the spacecraft began to fly at full speed. The red lights in the cab were flashing, and the spacecraft was constantly trembling by the artillery fire behind, as if it would lose power at any time.
Finally, the spacecraft calculated the best acceleration route in time and entered the preset orbit in time, bypassing the planet they had just locked, and sprinting forward at a faster speed.
"You can get a little distance away now!" Long Xingyi looked at the radar and said with a little concern.
"No..." Yin Yuting seemed to have discovered something, looked at the instruments in front of her and murmured: "This speed is increased too fast, it seems not normal. And... we are still accelerating exaggeratedly now."
"This is because..." Long Xingyi was stunned as soon as he moved his gaze from the big screen above his head to the porthole directly in front of him, "This is because we are rushing towards a cosmic black hole..."
Yin Yuting also moved her gaze away from the instrument, stared ahead, and stood there in a daze.
In front of them, a huge, weird halo quietly hid in a place they could not see before they were orbiting. After half a circle of orbiting the planet, they had unknowingly deviated from their orbit and rushed towards the black hole.
"There is good news and bad news." Long Xingyi stared at the front without turning his eyes, joking with the last bit of humor. Yin Yuting had long been blank and at a loss, and she didn't pay attention to what he said. Long Xingyi continued boredly: "The good news is that those pirates finally stopped chasing us, the bad news is..."
"I know what the bad news is." Yin Yuting came to her senses and said coldly.
Gradually, sparks appeared around the spacecraft, and red alarms flashed everywhere in the entire cab. The central processor ruthlessly reminded them: the spacecraft was seriously damaged and its power was lost.
Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting's spacecraft were affected by the powerful gravity and flew forward desperately. Long Xingyi felt that he had lost his center of gravity and was unable to stand firmly. He quickly ran back to his seat and tied himself to a chair. Yin Yuting also fastened her seat belt, waiting for everything that he didn't know what would come.
The spacecraft was getting closer and closer to the huge halo, and the hull, signals, and even light were ruthlessly attracted and could not escape. Just as the spacecraft was about to reach the critical value of damage, they rushed into the black hole.
In an instant, all the instruments of the spacecraft failed, and messy symbols flashed intermittently on the screen. Some harms that fell from nowhere kept passing by the spacecraft, and the cab was spinning and the earth was shaking.
Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting closed their eyes tacitly, listening to the rumbling noise in their ears, waiting for the end of all this.
After a while, the surroundings finally became quiet and the spacecraft seemed to gradually slow down.
Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting slowly opened their eyes and looked at the starry sky in front of them speechlessly.
The alarm in the cab was still flashing, but most instruments were back to normal. The screen showed that both flanks of the spacecraft had been damaged and the secondary thruster was missing. Fortunately, there was no damage to other internal parts, so the spacecraft could still continue sailing.
"Where are we now?" Long Xingyi asked.
"The spacecraft deviates from the scheduled route, but its distance from the earth is 500 light years closer than just now." The spacecraft's navigation system automatically answered after detecting the environment of nearby galaxies.
"But the warp engine is broken, won't we still not be able to go back?" Long Xingyi said with helplessness on the chair.
Yin Yuting seemed to have thought of something, suddenly sat upright and asked, "By the way, is the small engineering robot that Lei Ling gave you still here?"
"Yes!" Long Xingyi's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached into his backpack and started rummaging.
After carefully fumbled through the backpack, Long Xingyi finally found the small robot that had been forgotten for a long time in an inconspicuous corner.
"Thank God! Why did I forget you?" Long Xingyi held the robot in his hand, ecstatic.
"Don't thank you or thank you, thank you Lei Ling!" Yin Yuting said: "Put it in the cabin quickly and let it repair the warp engine as soon as possible! I hope the engine will not be damaged seriously."
Long Xingyi ran out in high spirits, placed the robot at the entrance of the cabin, and watched it climb in by itself. When he returned to the cab again, some simple basic functions had been repaired by the engineering robot.
"What's this? Is it an unexpected joy?" Yin Yuting said with a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
