860 Difficult Choice
"how so?"
Eddington Ross looked at the big screen above his head in a daze, muttering to himself, and the tone revealed a signal that made people feel stable and peaceful.
Just three minutes ago, when Prince Wang suddenly yelled to let all the reconnaissance ships retreat immediately, he was very dissatisfied.
Seeing that a three-dimensional detection structure would be completed with the efforts of countless reconnaissance ships, Eddington Ross was very excited. After all, this wormhole was first discovered by his team. If they could figure out how the wormhole was arranged, this achievement would be simply perfect.
So when Prince Wang shouted that sentence, Eddington Ross' first reaction was that Prince Wang was crazy.
When the prince yelled out the wormhole, he would immediately have a fierce abnormal reaction, Aidington Ross' first reaction was that their captain was crazy.
Everything seemed normal, what abnormal reaction would be? When Expedition One's itinerary was determined, they observed the entire Jupiter system for nearly a year, so where would there be any abnormal reaction? It was just that a group of scientists' protests seemed too thin in the face of Prince Wang's strength, and the information that ordered all the reconnaissance ships to retreat immediately was released as quickly as possible.
However, everything that happened next verified the fierce reaction of the prince and made his protest seem so ridiculous.
The sudden energy impact made everyone at the scene speechless.
The real-time image on the virtual screen has been cut off due to a sudden outbreak of energy storm, but the holographic star bitmap clearly shows the highlights representing more than ten reconnaissance ships that suddenly quickly approached the wormhole and finally disappeared without a trace. Obviously, these more than ten reconnaissance ships were "sucked" in by the wormhole they discovered.
For Eddington Ross and the scientists at the scene, they had not yet realized what had happened in just a few minutes, and most of them looked at the prince who was standing there frowning.
Fortunately, the orders of Prince Wang were promptly under the command of Prince Wang. At the critical moment, more than a hundred reconnaissance ships urgently deviated from the route and escaped. If there were no warning from the mothership, the loss would probably be several times, or even dozens of times. But what bothered everyone the most was how Prince Wang suddenly knew that such a huge amount of energy would erupt in the wormhole.
You should know that countless scattered data are directly input to the Jupiter system model established on the quantum superbrain. Even the quantum superbrain does not warn that the wormhole may suddenly have an energy reaction at some point, let alone give an accurate time. However, Prince Wang seemed to have done it.
Judging from the anxiousness and determination that the prince of the king showed at that time, it was clear that the wormhole would immediately have such an energy room reaction. How did he know?
Some were shocked and some were puzzled. The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing. But no one dared to ask Prince Wang at this time, but obviously, Prince Wang's figure became a little taller and more mysterious in the eyes of these scientists who were usually above the top.
If it weren't for the status of Prince Wang, perhaps some scientists wanted to open Prince Wang's head and see what's the mystery.
"Calculate the loss immediately, calculate the impact range of the wormhole energy reaction, and evaluate the danger coefficient of the missing reconnaissance ship at this time. Expedition One moves 500,000 kilometers in the direction of the black hole. The mecha troops are equipped with the assembly. In addition to the internal army, they are dispatched with the lion formation to find and rescue the lost bat formation reconnaissance ship and escort them back to the ship to rest. The Falcon Reconnaissance formation is ready to be measured. After calculating the impact range and outbreak cycle of the wormhole energy reaction, the Falcon Reconnaissance formation is dispatched immediately and re-established.
Establish a body detection structure. In addition, calculate the survival possibility of the missing reconnaissance ship. If there is a possibility of survival, immediately draft a rescue plan! Finally, I announced that Expedition One has entered the state of military control for combat readiness, everyone will stop taking vacations, all entertainment venues in the living area are temporarily closed, and the captains and heads of departments will immediately mobilize, and all positions must be stationed for 24 hours! Let's do it for the time being, I will go up and calm down first, and I will inform you if you find any discoveries!"
A series of orders were delivered from the prince's mouth, breaking the silence of the scene and making everyone move again.
Even if there were thousands of questions in my mind at this moment, no one said anything at this moment.
A total of twelve reconnaissance ships were affected by the wormhole energy and were "sucked" into the wormhole, disappearing into the existing space, and hundreds of people were in danger of life and death. There are also scientists on these reconnaissance ships who went to Jupiter to inspect, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
After all, the Expedition One has not even left the solar system. It has been less than two days since leaving Xingyao City. The prince, as the captain, is feeling at this moment. Although everyone knows in their hearts that this journey can be said to be very dangerous, and even everyone is ready to never be able to return to Earth in this life, but in such a short time, everyone's heavy mood can be imagined.
This is definitely not a good sign.
What makes people feel even more frustrating is that they had not predicted such a violent energy reaction before. It would be fine if they didn't predict it. What makes people feel even more disappointing is that there are not many ways to rescue them. In the vast space, even giant warships like Expedition One are just a drop in the ocean. Earth civilization is humble and pitiful in this vast space. It is said that they are planning a rescue plan, but everyone feels that these people are in danger. After all, it is a wormhole. Except for Expedition One, even the most advanced God-level motherships cannot cross the wormhole alone. The main reason is that the time is too tight and the design cost is too high.
Of course, the captain's order was still done. The series of orders issued by Prince Wang immediately conveyed and the entire ship started to move.
There were no idle people on Expedition One, and after the mobilization order was issued, everyone became busy.
The base of more than 100 people may not seem so important than 110,000 people, but Expedition 1 is an extremely special environment after all. Although these more than 110,000 people come from different countries, have different skin colors and different beliefs, they come from the same planet after all, and in the isolated space, each of them is the support of each other. This is a belief that has been emphasized countless times every day during the five years of training in Xingyao City.
Everyone on the ship is a relative of each other, which is already a symbol engraved in the minds of Expedition One, and cannot be erased. Not to mention the loneliness brought by being in the vast space, it will infinitely amplify this feeling. Without the belief of leaving the earth and floating in the vast space, you cannot experience this true feeling of sharing honor and disgrace. Or there are still various contradictions inside occasionally, but when your relatives and friends are in danger, the thoughts that arise in everyone's mind must be consistent with the outside world.
The countless huge cabin doors of Expedition One opened again, and the tiger formation was still responsible for the outer defense of Expedition One. The lion formation came out in full swing. They would carefully avoid the range of the wormhole energy explosion and search for the bat formation reconnaissance ships that were hit by the energy and hadtily changed their routes and avoided the disaster.
Although many reconnaissance ships have changed their routes at critical moments and are not sucked into the wormhole, they receive energy after waves, and their coordinate systems, navigation systems, and communication systems are likely to be irreversible damage. They are often calculated in light years in the void. If these electronic devices continue to sail in a daze, they will mean that they will always float in space and cannot find the location of the mothership. In this case, all the captains have to do is to hover in a relatively safe position, send out a positioning and distress signal, and then wait for assistance.
Now the entire eagle formation is responsible for such rescue tasks. Of course, the reconnaissance ships that have been "sucked" into the wormhole are not within their consideration. These can only be relied on scientists to calculate the survival probability of these lost warships through data analysis and find ways to rescue them.
Everyone was strung with a string. Expedition One, a cosmic aircraft carrier that combines the most advanced technology of the earth civilization, operated at a high speed silently and efficiently.
...
Expedition One Command Level.
Prince Wang returned to his home on this floor.
After all, I live in the mothership and there is no concept of a mansion. As the captain's house, the room is relatively larger and the various supplies are more complete. Of course, there are all kinds of enjoyment that can be found on the mothership. Although the prince of Wang doesn't care about these things, his family will naturally not let Yan Xiaoxi and Wang Xinyao suffer grievances after following him to pursue his dreams.
The home is very lively. My father-in-law and mother-in-law chatted with former US President Ivan Brown, while Yan Xiaoxi sat on the sofa and watched a classic American drama from Earth. She didn't see Wang Xinyao, but she should be asleep in her room at this time. Although it is in the universe, Wang Xinyao still has to receive teaching through virtual networks every day at her age. The inheritance of knowledge is very important, even on Expedition One. The ship-mounted quantum superbrain also copied a complete set of virtual teaching content, and the ship-mounted scientists also supplemented various teaching materials in real time. This is to make knowledge reserves for the new generation born on the ship in the future.
Unlike minors on Earth, the next generation on Expedition One is destined to undertake more arduous tasks, and the knowledge and skills they need to master are also more detailed. In the unknown aerospace industry, the extremely lack of human resources has made everyone on the ship exert their greatest strength.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Yan Xiaoxi first felt that Prince Wang's emotions were not normal. After all, it was a blessing for many years. Although Prince Wang's expressions were definitely not rich in general, some subtle expression changes could make sensitive women feel a little different.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law and Ivan Brown, who were chatting, also turned their attention to the prince. They were originally a family with a very good relationship, not to mention that this was on the boat, so naturally they didn't need too much vain gifts.
"We discovered a wormhole passage entrance in the Jupiter system and sent a reconnaissance fleet to carry out a detection mission, the wormhole entrance suddenly produced a violent energy reaction. Twelve reconnaissance ships were sucked into the wormhole. More than 130 reconnaissance ships turned urgently in the critical situation. Dozens of reconnaissance ships that were closer to the wormhole entrance were interfered with energy after waves and were lost in the Jupiter system, waiting for rescue. Of course, as long as they were not sucked into the wormhole passage, the danger was not high." Prince Wang briefly explained what had just happened.
This is no secret.
Basically, when mobilizing, all captains will inform the situation of this situation so that everyone can realize the danger of the action. Of course, it cannot be concealed. Due to the size of ordinary small reconnaissance ships, their life support system can only carry resources for everyone on the ship to survive for two months. They must return to the mothership for replenishment after more than two months. Therefore, for the reconnaissance formation, the upper limit of each action cycle is fifty days.
"That is to say, those reconnaissance ships that are sucked into the wormhole may be in danger?" Yan Xiaoxi keenly grasped the key point in Prince Wang's words.
Prince Wang nodded silently.
"Okay, I'll say goodbye first and let Wang calm down. You are the captain now, and the fate of the entire ship is in your hands. You can't be distracted from the face of such problems!" Ivan Brown stood up and said.
Yan Xiaoxi's parents looked at each other and stood up, "Yes, prince, we won't bother you now! But no matter what decision you make, we will support you without reservation. I believe the rest of the boat will be the same!"
...
After the three of them left, Prince Wang sat quietly on the sofa, and Yan Xiaoxi was by his side.
"Is there a way to save them?" Yan Xiaoxi suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"I'm still waiting for further calculation results. There are two possibilities. After the reconnaissance ship is sucked into the wormhole, it is destroyed because it cannot withstand the pressure generated by the energy tides in the wormhole. However, if the wormhole channel is stable enough, there is a certain chance that it will passively be transmitted directly to the unknown space on the other end of the wormhole. If it is the former, they will be killed. If it is the latter to save them, they must cross the wormhole! Of course, even if this wormhole channel is stable enough, passive inhalation and active entry are different. Passive inhalation cannot be controlled independently in the channel. If it encounters space-time turbulence, it may be thrown out by the wormhole at any time, but at least there is hope!"
"So you're hesitating if the final result is the latter, is it going to take the entire Expedition One to save them?"
Prince Wang glanced at the understanding Yan Xiaoxi, nodded silently, and then added: "It's not just Expedition One, considering that this wormhole passage is likely to be opened up by a high-level civilization far beyond the Earth's civilization, we must also consider whether our Earth's civilization will be exposed when we travel through this way!"
