Chapter 193 Abnormal Situation

Regret?

Jessica thought of Li Meng.

Facing Linda's gaze, Jessica shook her head.

She had nothing to regret.

Her relationship with Li Meng was different from that between Linda and Li Meng.

Linda was more like Li Meng's underground lover, and it had to be kept secret.

But she was different. Her relationship with Li Meng was between friends and a relationship between a man and a woman.

She could maintain an intimate relationship with Li Meng openly.

She never thought about getting anything from Li Meng.

She just simply hoped to maintain the current relationship with Li Meng, and that was enough.

With a smile, Jessica said, "Okay, let's not talk about him. Really, when we talk about him, we will become shy and have wild thoughts. Let it go. There are still many days in the future. Although we are women, we are also full of interest and yearning for the boundless sea of ​​stars. The future can't be just him, otherwise, it's too boring."

Linda smiled faintly at Jessica's words.

Yes, a brand new life is waiting for them.

We can’t let our thoughts be shackled in the ocean of emotions, the road ahead is still very long.

Deep in the long corridor, the graceful figures of the two women gradually faded away...

...

S-01909 star system.

The starry sea is vast, dark, dead, and cold.

In the dark universe, a white frozen planet floats quietly.

From a distance, it looks like a white jade gem under the light of the stars.

In the orbit of the planet, there is a huge asteroid floating.

Looking at the surface of the asteroid, you can see a piece of metal buildings connected to each other.

And in the starry sky on one side of the asteroid, a dark fleet is docked.

"King!"

The golden light shines, and the energy particles float like elves.

Everyone in the bridge half-knelt on the ground and shouted.

It only lasted for a little while, and everything gradually disappeared.

After taking a look at the people half-kneeling on the bridge, Li Meng turned around and looked at the starry sky outside the window.

"Has the navigation beacon not sent back any news yet?"

Ralph lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, if the spaceship to which the navigation beacon is attached did not encounter any accidents on the way back, it would be able to receive the signal on the same day. I guess something unexpected happened, but we have other gains."

Other gains?

Li Meng waved his hand slightly and said, "Come on..."

Everyone in the bridge stood up one after another and each of them started working.

Ralph moved forward slightly and came behind Li Meng.

With his head slightly lowered, Ralph said, "We found a data chip in a destroyed warship, which is well preserved. According to the existing data, the star map data in the chip has not been deleted. The science and technology priests are analyzing it. I think there will be news soon."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes.

It seems that the qualifications of the captain of the "Xinjing Shogunate" are worrying.

In the interstellar era, in external wars, how to hide one's base camp is the priority of every civilization.

On the eve of war, on the battlefield, the captain's first priority is to set up a safety mechanism.

Once the warship is destroyed, any data related to the star map will be immediately deleted, and the chip storing the data will be physically destroyed.

If the star map data is obtained by the enemy, the door of the house is like being opened.

Everything in the house will be exposed to the enemy.

Given the human fear of death, most of those captains are NPCs.

The population of the "Trade Mall" does not have complicated occupational distinctions.

Except for scientists, the rest of the population are ordinary people.

If you want NPCs to take up important positions, some training is required.

This is completely different from the "Terra Empire".

Because Li Meng has the Far Journey, there are many talents from all walks of life.

Similar to scientists, there are "tech priests", ordinary people and nobles.

And the nobles have received a good education, and many professions have been born among them.

For example, officers of the Star Army and naval generals are selected from the nobles.

The same is true for Ralph, he is also a noble.

It's just that his family has declined and lost his noble status.

He boarded the ship not as a noble, but as an admiral with outstanding achievements.

Since the imperial warships are on patrol all year round, the naval commanders on board will not leave the ship for decades or even hundreds of years.

Naval commanders often regard the warships as their own homes.

Most captains bring their families on board.

This is why the imperial warships will design a large enough living area for the captain, like a palace.

This is a good thing...

Once the star map of the "Xinjing Shogunate" is obtained.

The headquarters of the "Xinjing Shogunate" will be completely exposed.

Its sphere of influence will also be known to the "Terra Empire".

"King, capture the signal from the navigation beacon..."

The voice came from a tech priest, a little hoarse and mechanical, but the words were clear.

Ralph's face changed slightly, and he asked quickly: "Where?"

"Not in a neighboring star system, about seventeen light years away..."

Hearing this, Ralph frowned slightly.

This is impossible. How can you run to such a far place in three days?

In addition, a distance of seventeen light years cannot be transmitted back in three days.

Ralph lowered his head slightly and said: "King, I'm afraid there is a trick. The location of the navigation beacon is too far away, and the signal transmission speed is too fast."

With a thoughtful look on his face, Li Meng looked at the starry sky outside the window.

It is indeed impossible to run to a place seventeen light years away in less than three days.

If there are really seventeen light years, the message sent back by the navigation signal cannot arrive within three days.

What's going on?

The modified servo skull is attached to a transport ship.

It is a small boat, not big, with a captain of only two or three hundred meters.

The superluminal technology of the "Xinjing Shogunate" is the curvature engine.

At superluminal speed, all kinds of superluminal engines are similar.

Although there is a certain gap between them, it is not very big.

After thinking for a while, Li Meng said: "Send a "Cobra" destroyer to take a look, and the fleet will continue to stand by."

We can't be too anxious now. Wait until the technology priest cracks the chip that stores the star map data before deciding what to do next.

Li Meng has always believed that the headquarters of the "Xinjing Shogunate" is in the neighboring star system.

He firmly believes that this will never be wrong.

Otherwise, in the first battle with the "Xinjing Shogunate".

The fleet of the "Xinjing Shogunate" would not have arrived at the S-01909 star system within a few hours.

Ralph nodded and said to the technology priest beside him: "Send the coordinates of the navigation beacon to the fourth ship and let them set off immediately!"

With Ralph's order, outside, in the dark universe.

A "Cobra" destroyer in the fleet moved.

The engine nozzle at the tail spewed out a white tail flame hundreds of meters long.

Looking up at the sky from the planet's surface, one can see huge ships.

One of the huge ships is leaving with a long white tail flame, like a comet passing through the sky.
