Chapter 507 Akron

Not long after the Hercules transport plane disappeared, gravitational ripples that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye swayed in the void thousands of kilometers away from the asteroid. Time and space were gradually distorted and elongated. 12 crimson warships. , the latest chapter access: .

These warships are all of the same specification, about 230 meters in length, and the overall shape is similar to a delicately shaped dagger. Of course, the proportion of the hilt is wider. There are twin-mounted small propellers, and part of the weapon system. The stern of the ship is shaped like a rudder, and it rotates slowly counterclockwise. In its center is the main propulsion system composed of 4 propellers.

In addition to the above characteristics, the heads of these dagger battleships also have a very eye-catching emblem, a dragon, and a black flying dragon that is strong and powerful, and can walk upright like a human being.

Its wings are half-opened and half-closed, the dragon's head is raised high, and its mouth is opened, making a roar like looking up to the sky.

The 12 crimson warships stayed in the dark void for a while, and the main engine at the tail suddenly spewed out a stream of blue fire, and disappeared one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the streamer of the void near the slow-flying asteroid thousands of kilometers away, 12 dagger warships reappeared and paralleled the asteroid at the same speed.

The engine room on the starboard side of a battleship at the forefront of the battleship sequence was opened, and a spherical aircraft drove out, quickly rushed into the asteroid's gravitational range, hovered at a low altitude, and then passed close to the place where Tang Fang fought with the troops led by Black 3 , re-enter the mothership cabin after about 5 minutes.

After the 12 warships stood still for a while, they turned slowly under the action of the auxiliary propulsion system, and the blue light at the tail was brilliant.

In the next second, 12 silver lights flashed one after another, the battleship cluster disappeared without a trace, and the void returned to calm again. The asteroid was still traveling slowly, gradually turning into a small black spot, and plunged into the endless darkness far away.

…………

At the same time, in the bridge of the Hercules transport plane, Tang Fang stood in front of the battle command platform and looked at the holographic projection image of the star map, groaning silently.

If it is the "Morning Star", it has a warp level of 6.5. It takes about 10 days to go to the "Saam" space station, but it only takes about 3 days to switch to the Hercules shuttle, and the voyage time is shortened by more than 3 times. In this way, it can arrive a week earlier than the original plan.

Claire, Zhou Ai and others went to visit the ship's facilities. They were not on the bridge, but Tang Yun was very interested in this transport ship. She quietly stood behind the bridge and watched the pilots 'operate' the ship. His demeanor was more serious than that of the crew of the Morning Star.

"Driving crew, abort the jump,

Re-set the course and target the ‘Acubado’ star system. "

Tang Fang's sudden order surprised the crew including Aros, who came from the Morning Star.

What shocked them was not the route change, but the words "suspend the jump". If Captain Tang didn't talk nonsense, wouldn't this mean that the Hercules transport plane could stop the warp jump midway?

The high warp level of 8.8 is scary enough. If it has such a half-way braking ability, wouldn't it completely break the rules of interstellar navigation in the human world today?

The crew of the Morningstar looked at each other in blank dismay. Some people tried to swallow the acid water in their mouths, and they suddenly thought of one thing, if the engine system of the Hercules transport plane was transplanted to the "Morning Star", how much change it would bring.

Defense has "Aurora" shield, attack has Yamato cannon, and speed has warp speed level up to 8.8. And the interstellar engine that can brake midway, this kind of warship is exciting just thinking about it.

With Tang Fang's cleverness, it was easy to guess what the crew members of the "Morning Star" were thinking, but right now he didn't have the energy to take care of them, and his attention was all on the regularly flickering point of the star map model. It represents a star system --- Acubado, from which the aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body comes from.

The idea of ​​going to "Acubado" is that the search for the star map just now was a temporary idea. Firstly, "Acubado" is not far from the current location of the Hercules transport plane, and it only takes half a day to get there. The aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish is very interesting, or this is the main reason why he decided to switch to "Acubado".

From traveling to this world to today, I have encountered many strange creatures these days, but only a small part of them can collect gas resources, including the underground 'elite' rock worms on planet 5, Nami star Ipsilon The bat demon in the ruins, the mushroom monster in the Megar relay station, these small and medium creatures with zero elements in their bodies are more or less related to epic creatures like evil eyes and giant snakes.

According to Emma's analysis, the aqbd-1 sexless jellyfish is the key to unlocking the abyss of infection, which makes him very concerned. Will there be other creatures similar to the aqbd-1 sexless jellyfish on Planet Akron? exist?

In the strongly acidic ocean environment that covers the entire planet, human creations cannot go deep into certain ocean depths, and can only operate in relatively shallow sea areas. Therefore, no one can be sure whether "Akron" is still alive besides the aqbd-1 sexless jellyfish. There are other species.

Tang Fang intends to try his luck. Human creations cannot resist strong corrosive acid solutions, so what about the Protoss units? Take a step back and take some acid water samples for analysis. Maybe Emma can find a solution to the problem?

Just when he was slightly distracted, the pilot started the abort process according to the command, the warp speed level of the Hercules transport plane dropped sharply, the warp speed bubble reversed contraction, and the space-time curvature rebounded. With the silver light flashing on the bridge display, the battleship appeared in the real universe.

The driver turned the yaw stick to adjust the bow position of the ship, entered "Acubado" into the navigation system, and started the warp engine again. After a while, the light flashed, and Hercules entered the virtual space again.

…………

The "Acubador" star system is located in the center of the Star Alliance, even only 9.7 light-years away from the "Duma" star system. However, this place has not been developed, and it is as barren as an empty desert with no human habitation.

It's not that the Star Alliance government doesn't want to develop it, it's because the internal environment of "Acubado" restricts its development.

The central star "Acubado" of this star system is a star with only 0.7 solar mass, and there are only two planets around it.

Among these two planets, the closest to "Acubado" is "Akron", a green planet covered by a highly corrosive acid solution. As for the outer planet, called "Erna", it is a gas giant planet.

Needless to say, the preciousness of ocean planets in the universe is considered to be one of the most habitable types of planets. Only some simple atmospheric modification projects can become a habitable star with a pleasant environment.

"Akron" is an exception. Because the concentration of acidic substances in seawater is extremely high, the cradle of life becomes a graveyard of life, and only aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish can survive here.

As a gas giant planet, "Erna" is naturally not suitable for human life. Therefore, although "Acubador" is located in the hinterland of the Star Alliance, it has become an inaccessible airspace. Only some people from the scientific community reside in "Acubado". Clone" high-altitude orbit research space station for research work.

When the light of "Acubador" rises from the sea level of "Akron", and a layer of frosty white spreads over the upper half of the scientific research space station, according to this, tens of kilometers of void streamer flashes. A spaceship more than 140 meters long appeared in the high-altitude orbit of the planet.

This spaceship is the Hercules transport plane carrying Tang Fang and others. After 14 and a half hours of warp speed sailing, it successfully arrived at the target location.

After the unmanned radar station deployed by the scientific research space station discovered the existence of the Hercules transport plane, it immediately sent this message to the central system of the space station.

Because "Acubador" is located in the hinterland of the Star Alliance, and the scientific research space station is a Qingshui Yamen, there is nothing valuable, and no pirate group has ever dared to risk being surrounded by the Star Alliance navy to rob here, but some Unofficial scientific researchers often come here to collect relevant data on "Akron" seawater. In order to be able to research equipment that can resist the corrosion of acid solution, and develop and utilize the zero element resources in the planetary formation.

so. The appearance of the Hercules transport plane did not arouse the vigilance of the staff in the scientific research station, and sent out a communication request as a matter of routine.

Tang Fang ordered the correspondent to transfer to the big screen of the bridge, and then told the station master on duty of his identity and the purpose of coming here.

During this period of time, he has become a household name in the Star Alliance, and he doesn't need to introduce himself at all. The bearded stationmaster froze when he saw him for the first time. He never thought that such a big man would come to the "Acubado" who didn't shit.

Regarding Tang Fang's request to collect "Akron" seawater samples, of course he will not refuse, not only will he not. He also expressed that the space station is willing to provide additional help, such as relevant information, guides, operating equipment, etc.

Tang Fang expressed his gratitude for his enthusiasm, but declined the space station's suggestion to provide a guide, and only hoped to borrow the special landing equipment and unmanned operation boat.

In the past, when some heavy machinery manufacturing companies organized scientific researchers to investigate the seabed of "Akron", most of them chose to refuse the guide service due to commercial confidentiality considerations. Go online to entangle, tell the relevant staff to open the berth of the space station, and let Captain Tang and others enter the station.

This scientific research space station code-named "Stanfonia" is not big, only about 2 kilometers long, and belongs to the category of small space stations. The Hercules transport plane stopped at a berth under the guidance of the navigation drone. Tang Fang took Roy, Zhou Ai and the two entered the space station through the connecting passage.

First meet with the bearded stationmaster, chat for a while about "Akron" related issues, politely reject the other party's proposal to have a meal together, take two people to the hangar of the space station, choose a landing ship, say goodbye to the stationmaster, and leave space station.

The landing ship attached to the "Stanfonia" scientific research space station is a special equipment specially developed by the official organization of the Star Alliance for the inland environment of "Akron". It can be used not only as an atmospheric shuttle, but also as a surface speedboat. Both anti-corrosion, anti-lightning effects.

This is because the entire surface of "Akron" is covered by the ocean of strong acid solution, which makes the planet's atmospheric cloud layer very thick, with high water vapor content, frequent convection and circulation activities, and extreme weather such as heavy rain and hurricane are very prone to occur.

The landing ship is thrown into the internal clouds from a low-altitude orbit, and through the transparent special glass cabin, the eyes capture a scene of wonders.

The sky of "Akron" is different from ordinary habitable stars, because the water vapor that makes up the clouds contains a lot of acidic substances, which makes the clouds that should be like cotton flowers glow light green, and in blue 'It is particularly eye-catching under the sky.

Below the clouds, the green ocean is like a silk ribbon that floats and sinks with the wind, setting off waves of sparkling light, like a green cotton blanket spreading to the end of the field of vision, intersecting with the green of the sky. weave together. It is refreshing.

The only regret is that there is less vitality in the world, and there are no gulls flying low in the sky, and no petrels lining up to go away. It is empty, except for the sea water, there are clouds and blue sky.

The landing craft drew a trail of smoke between the sea and the sky, slowly reducing its speed. Finally landed on the turquoise water.

Unlike when flying in the air, the chassis of the landing ship is extended outward to increase buoyancy, the main engine at the stern is retracted into the hull, and only two auxiliary propellers are left to provide surface propulsion for the landing ship.

After the landing ship came to a complete stop, Tang Fang pressed the switch to close the huge glass window of the pilot's cab.

The inland environment of "Akron" looks pleasing to the eye, but in fact it is a hell, affected by the strong acid ocean. There are extremely high concentrations of acidic substances free in the air. If human beings breathe without protection, the acidic substances will burn the respiratory system in a short time and cause death. Therefore, if you want to To land on the surface of the planet for field research, in addition to a dedicated landing ship, it must also be equipped with a special power armor equipped with a filtration system.

Tang Fang did not use the power armor on the landing ship. Instead, they put on harsh environment protective clothing. Zhou Ai and Roy also wore the same equipment.

Although the two of them cannot use the psionic drive components of the harsh environment protective clothing. But it can use its filtration system to move in the harsh environment of "Akron".

He also did not use the unmanned operation boat carried by the landing ship, but released a detector, 'manipulated' it into the water surface, and dived to the bottom of the sea.

As expected, this protoss machine specially used for reconnaissance can work in most harsh environments, and the acidic solution with a strong corrosive effect cannot cause substantial damage to it.

Order Emma to pay close attention to the underwater images sent back by the detector. He also summoned a puppy from the system space, paying attention to its health status in the acidic environment of "Akron".

He is not worried that what he did on the sea will be discovered by the people on the space station. He has arranged to cooperate with Emma to invade the entire space-based monitoring network of the space station when he boarded the space station. What does he want those people on the space station to see? , they can only see what.

Zhou Ai and Roy couldn't help below. They had no choice but to climb onto the second deck of the landing ship to look at the distant scenery. They seemed to have regarded the trip to "Akron" as a sightseeing tour.

Tang Fang had no time to take care of them, and focused all his attention on the puppy.

Exposed to the acidic environment of "Akron", the puppy was very manic at first, but it returned to calm after about 5 or 6 minutes, and the scales on the surface of the body only became mottled. death, serious injury, etc.

Since the weakest puppy of the Zerg can survive in such a harsh environment, presumably the queen, eyeworm and other big guys will be fine.

Next, it directly ordered the puppy to jump into the water, intending to see how the sea water corroded the Zerg unit.

Almost as soon as the puppy fell into the water, he heard a scream. The scales on the puppy's body were rapidly corroded, and its health dropped sharply.

He quickly pulled it back to the system space, replaced it with a cockroach and threw it into the water.

Perhaps the carapace of the cockroach is much thicker than that of a puppy, or it may be that it is a creature that uses acidic substances to hunt and kill its targets. Therefore, its corrosion resistance is very high, until it sinks into the water. It is only after 1,000 kilometers that the health value drops, but the speed is relatively slow. According to preliminary calculations, it can fall more than 3,000 meters before dying.

Cockroaches can descend more than 3,000 meters, but what about Corruptors? Even considering the pressure factor, 10,000 meters should not be a problem. The key is that the deepest abyss of "Akron" is tens of thousands of meters away from the water surface.

Is it possible that we can only rely on Protoss units... I don't know if the Immortals can withstand the strong pressure of the sea water.

When he was frowning and thinking, Emma told him that the detector had reached 13,000 meters underwater, which was close to the bottom of this water area. If he continued to dive, the water pressure would cause damage to the detector.

"Have you found anything?"

"A large number of aqbd-1 asexual 'sex' jellyfish bodies were found in the 5000-8000-meter area, and no other species were found."

Do you want to try another Immortal? The Immortal has a fortitude shield and is a heavy armored mechanical unit. It should be more resistant to pressure than the detector. However, whether it can withstand the extreme water pressure of the deepest abyss in "Akron" is still a question. unknown.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound behind him. Looking back, it turned out that the special cushion of the cockpit was slapping the backrest.

got windy……

"Tang Fang, a storm is coming, what should I do? Go back or change to another sea area?" Zhou Ai's voice rang in his ears.

The waves on the surface of the water surged from slow to fast, and the gradually changing waves shook the hull of the boat gently.

Tang Fang raised his head and looked towards the horizon, and saw the dark green clouds rushing in like wild horses, and the sea level flashed occasionally, which was thunder raging in the clouds in the distance.

Acid rain fell from the air, and landed on the sea with the steps of dark clouds, splashing pieces of water.

Wow...

At the end of the field of vision, a 'wave' surged into shape under the gust of wind, setting off a 'wave' several meters high, and hitting the water heavily.

The darkness and storm are like billowing demon soldiers pouring out of hell, quickly spreading towards the location of the landing ship. p
