After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong hung up the communication temporarily and then looked up at the ceiling of the conference room.
After a while, he closed his eyes, as if he was concentrating.
There was also silence in the conference room.
Everyone's face was filled with solemnity.
Vincent Van Hoy couldn't help but talk about another situation.
"Actually, even if Huang Xubo and the others can do it, it doesn't make much sense. Even if the nearest ship 981-27 accelerates to 0.2 times the speed of light and cruises forward, it will take 19 hours to arrive. There will definitely be three hours of empty space in between.
Schedule. We should make other plans."
Ren Zhong opened his eyes.
He doesn't want to tell others the harsh truth.
In fact, just now, he had successfully activated a precognitive hallucination.
The duration of this precognitive hallucination was very short.
He has already seen the scene when the Source Star fleet was destroyed by the space pirate coalition. There is no way to avoid it, and death is inevitable.
This is a prediction made by his subconscious mind based on all the memories currently stored in his brain, all the known information, and more information captured from the background information flow of the universe.
Ren Zhong thought for a moment and made a new decision in his mind, intending to turn the fleet immediately to leave the black mist area and try to go to other areas.
After a while, a new precognitive hallucination appeared again, with a slight change.
In the picture, he drove the shuttle and left quietly without being followed, but the Source Star fleet was still destroyed by the space pirate fleet.
There is no doubt that as long as it is exposed, it will be destroyed, and there is no chance of survival.
Ren Zhong doesn't see the point in living alone.
Moreover, the universe is too big. With only the endurance of a shuttle ship, he cannot escape very far. In all likelihood, he will end up dying alone in the universe in despair.
Otherwise, he may be able to activate cryogenic slumber, and then rely on the help of Sun Ai who is entrusted in the Spark Suppression Network to quietly float back to the Source Star with a small number of people. If he is lucky enough, he can do it.
After returning, he continued to hibernate, and prayed that Liu An would dislike the long journey and not send spies to inquire about the situation, so that Yuan Xing would not be exposed.
If he is not exposed immediately and can regain his strength, there may be hope of revenge for the three billion people in the fleet.
But revenge is only the last resort among the last resort. Another meaning is that the Source Star Fleet is gone.
Whenever I have a choice, I don’t want to do this if I have a heavy responsibility.
Putting aside emotional factors, at least 80% of the excellent genes inherited from the Origin Star Civilization are in the fleet.
It took a lot of effort to save such a fortune. If it were to be lost, wouldn’t it mean that we would be back before liberation?
Moreover, even after returning to the Source Star, I am still in constant panic. What’s the point? But the Source Star is still a lone star on the edge of the Gupan Galaxy, and there is no way to escape.
However, no matter how reluctant he is, the current situation is stronger than others and there is no choice at all.
Thinking of treating a dead horse as a living horse, Ren Zhong said: "Contact ship 981-27, I will see what is going on with this work ship and whether there is any chance of survival."
After a while, Chen Qiao informed that the call had been connected.
Ren Zhong said again: "Call 981-27, this is the fleet headquarters, I am Ren Zhong, please answer when you receive it."
Like Huang Xubo before, the person in charge of communications at No. 981-27 also fell into a brief silence.
In the past two seconds, there was a sound from the other side.
"Falcon received. I am Technical Officer Mavian. Hello, Lord Count."
Unlike Huang Xubo, the person opposite had a calmer tone and did not appear to be very excited. He did not answer according to the standard number of the working fleet, but instead named himself Falcon.
However, the stereoscopic projection on Ren Zhong's side immediately revealed the relevant situation of the 981-27 ship, including the personnel information and the current status of the ship.
It turns out that the Falcon was the name given to this work ship by Captain Ahmed Sami of 981-27 out of personal interest, but it is usually only used internally when communicating with the headquarters and other work ships.
Ahmed Sami strictly abides by fleet management regulations and uses standard markings.
But Mavian is obviously not a temperamental person who plays his cards according to common sense.
According to the information provided by Chen Qiao, Ma Weian is a senior researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and is only 25 years old. The elderly Ma Xiacheng even wanted to appoint this young man as the next successor of Shenxun Group, but Ma Weian was rejected.
of rejection.
During the selection of personnel for the work fleet, Ma Wei'an took the initiative to sign up. Although Chen Qiao was a little regretful and did not want to let a talented programmer sacrifice himself in a low-level position, seeing that he was determined and determined, he agreed.
Later, Ma Wei'an's mother came to intercede, but this action was very important, and there was no reason to sign up first and then regret it. After consulting Ma Wei'an's own wishes, Chen Qiao refused to intercede.
After reading this information, Ren Zhong thought to himself, no wonder the Falcon was the first to issue an early warning. It turned out to be Mavian's credit.
Later, Ren Zhong looked at Ahmed Sami's personal profile and his eyes lit up.
He had an impression of this name. He had noticed the three brothers of the Sami family long before the personnel selection. This was why he decided to ban all descendants of the family from entering the work ship.
He didn't want these families to become extinct.
This Ahmed is the eldest son of Mamnoon Sami. Both father and son are very good pilots. Mamnoon is very rare and follows him from beginning to end, participating in almost all major battles.
Those who are still alive, or even able to die, are the pilots of the earliest Veyron fighter jets in the Spark Legion.
But Ahmed was a better man than his master, and ranked among the top 100 captains in overall quality among all the captains who signed up to participate in the operation.
Ren Zhong checked the current situation of the work ship and all the operation records of this hour at an extremely fast speed, and was shocked.
Apart from the large energy consumption, there is almost nothing abnormal about the Falcon.
After the extremely intense and violent driving, the Falcon's damage was less than 5%. Now the damage rate is still being quickly repaired with the remote assistance of the mechanic and Sun Ai, and it will be restored to full strength in ten minutes at the latest.
.
If the Falcon was just lucky, that would be fine. But according to the records in the black box, the Falcon's luck was not only bad, it was even worse than most work ships.
In this hour, the Falcon was torn apart by dark energy clusters at least nearly twenty times and forced into a desperate situation. However, with the perfect cooperation of Ahmed, Mavian and other crew members, all dangers were saved.
They repaired while escaping, using various extreme driving operations, but they always managed to hold the ship to its limits without disintegrating. They found a balance accurately many times when encountering the superimposed interference of the gravitational fields of multiple dark energy groups.
Wire.
Even if it encounters multiple dark energy clusters with unstable flight speeds, the equilibrium line is not a standard straight line and requires multiple drastic changes in direction to walk out of a steep curve, the Falcon has done it.
Even if the driver is replaced by Ren Zhong himself, I'm afraid he can't do better than Ahmed Sami, who is at his peak.
Not only that, Mavian can not only provide information guidance for the Falcon, but can even communicate with Hua Yuelan in the cutting-edge simulation ship from time to time during severe interference, assisting Hua Yuelan in quickly adjusting the algorithm.
The vertical data link No. 997 is still running stably, Hua Yuelan deserves the most credit, and Ma Wei'an has at least three successes.
Ren Zhong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Both Ahmed and Mavian were so talented that they died young.
The person who responded at this time was Mavian. The reason was that Ahmed Sami fell into collapse after the ultra-high-intensity explosion for nearly an hour. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. He could only listen, but couldn't.
say.
Ren Zhong thought and observed so much, but in fact only five seconds had passed. He opened his mouth and said: "The situation has changed now. I want you to rush to the communication coverage area of the 997-27 ship within 16 hours to take over the 997-27 communication area."
27’s signal relay mission, can it be accomplished?”
Two answers came from the other side at the same time.
Mavian: "With all due respect, Lord Earl, this is unrealistic. We have already begun to move closer, but it will take at least 18 hours."
Ahmed: "Yes...obey, count...count...ahem."
Mavian's answer is that from an objective and logical point of view, he knows this is impossible.
Ahmed Sami, on the other hand, heard Ren Zhong's direct order, took a strong breath, and accepted the order.
For the eldest son of the Sami family, he would not consider whether the count's order was feasible or reasonable.
He only knows that after I received this order, I must use all my strength to complete it, and I must complete it.
Because he firmly believed that the count would not intentionally issue an impossible order, but objective reality dictated that it could only be done this way.
Ren Zhong frowned slightly.
The completely different attitudes of the technical officer and the captain made him slightly embarrassed.
He didn't want to use empty promises or speeches to encourage the Falcon crew. It was meaningless, because he also knew that the request was indeed unrealistic.
Mavian is right. Although Ahmed has the spirit of a soldier, sometimes having willpower alone cannot solve the problem.
Now the last hope of the entire Source Star fleet is pinned on this small Falcon, but there are differences among the crew members.
Ren Zhong can now use mandatory orders to force the other party to try, but it may dampen Mavian's enthusiasm and further amplify the differences, which will only have the opposite effect. Now that he needs everyone on the Falcon to perform exceptionally, he must pay attention to everything
Human psychological condition.
As expected, before Ren Zhong could say anything, there was already a quarrel over there.
Ahmed Sami seemed to have strength again and shouted: "Shut up Mavian! This is an order!"
Everyone in the conference room changed their expressions after hearing this, and looked at Ren Zhong with nervous expressions.
In particular, the temporary helmsman from the Ma family was extremely nervous, fearing that Ma Wei'an's disrespectful behavior would offend Ren Zhong and bring disaster to the entire family.
At this time, Ren Zhong only said: "Falcon, you continue to move forward first, and I will think of a solution."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and seemed to be meditating.
After a while, he opened his eyes again.
During this period of time, he made two attempts.
First, he has considered letting Sun Ai take over the Falcon through remote control, with him, Sun Ai and the entire Artificial Intelligence Research Institute working together to serve as the captain and technical officer. His overall strength is better than Ahmed's
Slightly stronger. When it comes to piloting a ship, Ahmed needs to perform exceptionally well to catch up with his normal level. But even if the information flow communication speed is very fast, it is still very difficult for him to remotely control the Falcon.
The one-second delay affected his performance. Even he would have difficulty passing through the radiation zone caused by the aftermath of the dark energy burst that would arrive in half an hour within 16 hours.
Second, he also tried a second precognition. As before, even though he learned that the crew of the 981-27 ship was of extraordinary quality, he still had to accept failure in the end.
Time passed little by little, and Ren Zhong opened his eyes again, and said again: "The preparations for 997-27 should be almost completed. Let's pull them into the communication system. I will not give up until the last moment."
