The speed is too fast. Even if the shadow caught by the holographic image slows down many times, it is still a gray shadow. The gray color is like a meteorite. The only difference is that behind the meteorite is a long tail flame, which lasts dozens of kilometers. If it weren't for this tail flame, such a meteorite would not attract people's attention at all.

Of course, no one thinks this is a meteor. The fireworks at the tail of the meteor are obviously different from this tail flame, which is even more dazzling. Moreover, the tail flame of the meteor is not condensed, but is very scattered. The tail flame of this meteorite is very condensed. It is obvious that it is not the flame burning by the meteorite, but a flame ejected from the thruster, with a little blue, very clean blue...

Whether it is color or shape, Zou Zichuan is sure that this is not any spaceship or warship he has seen. Although the shape is a bit like a human spaceship, there are still big differences and it looks much rougher.

What would this be?

It was almost an instinct. Zou Zichuan thought of the interstellar migration of colorful shellworms, but Zou Zichuan really couldn't convince himself that the primary intelligence of colorful shellworms could create such an aircraft that reached the speed of sublight.

You should know that building an aircraft that can perform space jumps is a very vast and complex project, which almost summarizes all the top science and technology of mankind. It is hard to imagine that colorful shellworms can build a spacecraft.

If the speed of the colorful shellworm can reach the speed of sublight, it will be a huge disaster for humans

"Look, what is that?" Lan Pingfan suddenly ran to the front of the holographic screen. This was a small holographic screen that switched. When the holographic image started playing in the main control room, the spacecraft's main control light brain will automatically switch some information to these small screens as a reference.

Everyone looked at the small screen and looked shocked. They saw meteorites with tail flames almost covering the entire screen, covering the sky and not knowing how many. From the direction of the flight, it was obvious that it was exactly the same as the route of the meteorite at the beginning...

Immediately, the captain switched the screen of this holographic image to the large screen.

This is a very clear hologram. However, because the meteorites are at sub-light speed, the holographic scan still cannot determine its specific image. It can only analyze the approximate data through the optical brain. However, these data are not helpful in the analysis.

Soon, this dense meteorite group disappeared into the vast void. It was obvious that they had completed the space jump and entered the wormhole space.

...

What are they?

Everyone in the main control room looked puzzled and looked at each other and didn't know what to say. In fact, everyone thought that this was a flying tool for the colorful shellworms to migrate at a star. However, people could not convince themselves that the original primary life of the colorful shellworms, although the strength of their bodies was shocking, there was no evidence that they had high-level technological manufacturing capabilities.

"Search for that space and see if there are any space jumping points!" Zou Zichuan said coldly.

"yes!"

...

Everyone watched the captain keep inputting instructions, and the light brain called out all the holograms in the nearby airspace. There were more than a dozen space jump points found in this airspace, but there were no data on the space jump points that had disappeared just now.

It was a wormhole space that had not been discovered by humans or was not safe.

"Set up!" Zou Zichuan issued an order, and there was no practical meaning to be dazed here, and he could not get any results. The battle between humans and colorful shell insects was not his own problem, but his entire human problem, which he could not solve alone.

"yes!"

The captain was very happy that Zou Zichuan did not interfere in his work, and happily entered a series of instructions. The spacecraft engine began to operate at high speed, and people fixed themselves on the chair. During the space jump at the sub-light speed, the human body must be fixed on the spacecraft, because when a person enters the sub-light speed, the human mind will be in a state of chaos and stagnation for a moment, which is a scientific problem that cannot be solved temporarily, because at that high speed, the human physiological function is almost in a state of pause.

Even if human technology reaches its current level, it still seems extremely small in front of the vast universe. No one knows how big the universe is. No one can reach the edge of the universe. The universe is endless. No matter where the human spacecraft flies, the spacecraft is always in front of the vast universe, and it is always the ink-like starry sky that can be seen at a glance.

In this universe, countless dangers lurk in it, including time and space turbulence, cosmic storms, meteorite vortexes, and antimatter fountains...

No matter what kind of cosmic phenomenon is mentioned above, it cannot be fought against by human technology. Space-time turbulence can tear apart any solid spaceship. Cosmic storms can make the spaceship roll and never stop in the vast universe like toys. Meteorite vortex can smash a most advanced space warship into a pile of scrap iron. Antimatter fountains are even more terrifying. Other natural phenomena in the universe can leave a little bit of scum. Antimatter fountains can annihilate a flagship that is dozens of kilometers long without a single screw. When the antimatter fountain bursts, even stars as big as the sun will be annihilated without leaving any trace.

For humans, there are too many secrets in the vast universe. The way humans find space jumps is only the first step for humans to enter the universe.

In fact, humans have never stopped exploring the universe. Even after humans have established highly civilized technology in the universe, human exploration spacecraft has set sail almost every day, and various adventure groups and scientific research organizations have never stopped exploring the conquest of the universe...

Humans are like dandelion seeds to grow branches and leaves in the universe.

Space jump is actually a travel to the wormhole space. Its time is just the moment when you open your eyes and close your eyes. In fact, what really takes time to the space jump is the acceleration process of the spacecraft. Acceleration of a spacecraft to the sub-light speed is not as simple as saying. It is a long acceleration process. Moreover, if the preparations are sufficient and the spacecraft is advanced, the acceleration process can be completed in ten to twenty minutes. For example, the acceleration process of the pirate ship "Don't Kiss Me" lasts for seventy minutes. After leaving the wormhole, the deceleration process is also more than twenty minutes.

The engine of this pirate ship is still quite advanced. Some cargo spacecraft have a large load capacity and different hull designs. There are also two hours of acceleration before the space jump.

This acceleration process is dangerous because if a meteorite or obstacle appears in front of the route, it will be a disaster. Of course, the holographic scanning of the spacecraft will feed back millions or even tens of millions of kilometers of data ahead to the optical brain. In an emergency, the spacecraft will take emergency measures. However, if danger occurs and measures are taken, this becomes a very time-consuming return process. The spacecraft must have a sufficient distance to reach the sub-light speed before entering the space jump wormhole.

...

The road was safe and sound, and there were no damage or accidents in some space jumps. Don't kiss me, the pirate ship, made more than thirty space jumps in succession and entered the realm of the Empire Federation. The biggest accident was that a stone as big as a finger hit the spacecraft when it slowed down, leaving a dent of half a meter deep on the armor.

There was also the last jump that entered the satellite surveillance range of the Imperial Federation.

"What are you doing when you stop?" Zou Zichuan asked frowned at the data on the holographic screen.

"That...ah...ah...we need to do some small preparations..." The captain and the boss said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Soon, Zou Zichuan understood what they meant, and they wanted to give the spaceship a big change of face.

Seven pirates flew out from the deck in aerospace work uniforms and began to modify the pirate ship.

First, I brushed off the metal paint of "Don't Kiss Me" and then sprayed it with three pink characters "Mermaid".

The white skeleton logo was also completely covered by metal paint.

In just less than two hours, this pirate ship, which was nakedly marked "I am a pirate", became a "good citizen" spacecraft, and it also had a very tempting name: the mermaid.

Mermaid!

Looking at the name from the holographic screen, thinking about the dirty and rotten smell when I first came in, no one thought that the name "mermaid" was suitable for this spacecraft, but it felt disgusting.

"Damn it, what name can't be taken from your grandma? I just want to give this bird's name." Watie looked at the big pink characters and immediately made a vomiting and nauseating action, then cursed at the captain.

"Ahem...this...this was decided by the vote..." The captain's face turned red and he coughed.

"Boss, it was clearly your decision. You said that the ship lacks women. If you want to get a feminine name and get a little powdery smell, when did you vote?" The dick sitting in the passenger seat muttered.

"Shut up, I'm still the captain now, you want to rebel!" The captain and the captain cursed angrily.

"..." The second son pouted and said nothing. It seemed that the boss's tyranny was still very dignified on the spaceship.

After five pirates boarded the ship, don't kiss me and accelerate immediately. Oh, no! The Mermaid accelerated immediately and started to prepare for space jump...

"Ah..." When the mermaid passed through the wormhole space and just started to slow down from that sub-light speed, a terrifying sound woke everyone up.

Zou Zichuan opened his eyes suddenly and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He saw that the holographic screen was filled with colorful shell insects and space warships, mixed with tens of thousands of fighting mechas, filling the entire holographic screen.

This is a holographic image simulated by the scanning system based on the feedback information.
