Chapter 1134 High-speed evacuation operation (7)
The Swan's overspeeding is very harmful to the engine.
Originally, it was only overhauled once a year or even every two or three years. After using overspeeding, it may have to be checked every six months to avoid the engine suddenly breaking down when it needs to accelerate.
And this overloaded, over-designed engine use will also bring a huge speed increase.
The Swan, which is already super fast, left the aircraft carrier formation that helped the Swan to block the gun far behind in an instant after starting overspeeding. It can be said that except for jumps and pulse flights, no ship can catch up with the Swan after it has pulled away.
"Turn, bearing 65."
"Understood, turn at bearing 65."
Pulse flight can only go in a straight line, and when starting pulse flight, the ship is out of control unless it is accidentally terminated or reaches the set destination, so keep the route of turning after flying for a while, so as not to be afraid of the squadron behind chasing with pulse flight.
As for jumps, An Yun can predict ten seconds in advance, and these ten seconds are enough for the Swan to move serpentinely to avoid the warships that are tracking jumps.
What is the legend of the fastest speed in the void?
However, this still cannot change the core problem. The Swan is trapped in this star field.
Because it cannot jump or pulse flight, the Swan cannot leave this star field that has been involved in the war immediately.
The Red Maple Republic has at least three fleets, nearly two thousand warships, and the number of warships of the Rotating Water Federation will only be more, not less.
Such a large fleet of both sides is in the same star system. Any stray bullet is fatal to the Swan.
The safest way now is for the Swan to run to meet with the large fleet of the Rotating Water Federation, hand over the finished product and Emma and Sun Lin, as well as data and information, to them. It is best to board a super-large warship like a starship to ensure safety.
Alyssa doesn't have to worry about the rest.
But the problem is that the distance is too far. If you can't use pulse flight, it may take several hours to fly. The Swan's super-speed flight can't withstand that long. By then, I'm afraid the engine will be burned, and it's not impossible for the reactor to explode on the spot.
Another thing is to find a place to jump. If the Swan escapes alone and continues to the capital star of the Xuanshui Federation without changing its itinerary, it will take about four or five days to get there.
The advantages are safety, autonomy and concealment.
But the disadvantage is that without cover, it will be chased and cut.
Although the aircraft carrier formation of the Xuanshui Federation would rather sacrifice itself to cover the retreat of the Swan, they cannot delay for too long. After all, the aircraft carrier formation is only composed of cruise ships and mobile aircraft carriers. It is not a mainstream large ship with big guns, and it is not superior in number.
Alyssa can even feel that the fleet of more than a dozen ships is chasing the Swan.
So, with two roads, how does Alyssa choose?
She closed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"Descend to full speed."
Then said to An Yun:
"Find the weak points of the shielding force field with all your strength. We need to jump as soon as possible."
She chose the latter.
The former is indeed stable, but it takes several hours to rush to meet with the fleet of the Xuanshui Federation. It is too far away, and the process of approaching is equivalent to approaching the fleet of the Red Maple Republic.
Regardless of whether they would send ships to intercept, the closer they were, the closer they were to the shielding force field. If they chose this path, there would be no turning back.
The longer the time, the greater the probability of an emergency. The longer the night, the more dreams there were, and there was no room for retreat, so Alyssa chose the latter.
The Swan descended from super-speed flight to full-speed flight. On the one hand, this was to protect the engine and reactor, and on the other hand, it was to allow An Yun to use her psychic power more clearly to find the weak points in the shielding force field.
Moreover, it was necessary before the fleet arrived!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the Swan was flying away from the battlefield, but the number of fleets was too large, which also made the size of the shielding force field too outrageous.
Alyssa clenched her hands on the bridge, hoping that the goddess of luck would be a human being this time.
About ten minutes later, Long saw the engine light in the viewfinder:
"It may be that the fleet of the Red Maple Republic has caught up."
This is bad news.
In terms of the speed of conventional navigation, no warship can catch up with the Swan, but they can aim at the general direction of the Swan and start pulse flight to shorten the distance as much as possible.
If you enter the enemy's firepower range, it will be even more difficult to run next.
Fortunately, the goddess of luck finally smiled at Alyssa.
"I found it! A wave-shaped hole has been marked on the route"
An Yun wiped the blood on his nose like a bubble. It was a warning of excessive use of psychic energy. If he continued to use it, it would cause irreversible damage to the brain. An Yun was afraid that he would become an idiot.
Fortunately, the weak point was found at this time.
The Swan immediately sailed towards the weak point, and Alyssa saw the opportunity and pressed the jump button.
Everyone in the bridge could hear the low roar and vibration coming from the direction of the tail engine. It was the engine of the Swan fighting against the restraint of the shielding force field, like a person with deep feet in the mud, trying hard to pull his legs out of the mud.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The bridge was suddenly enveloped by a burst of white light, and Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief.
The jump was successfully initiated.
The Swan disappeared from the star field with a twist.
Due to the emergency, Alyssa had no time to set the target location for the jump. She just went wherever she could go. Anyway, she couldn't stay in this galaxy.
After the jump was over, Alyssa reopened the star map and found that the Swan had only jumped less than seven or eight ar and came to the dark star field between the star systems.
There was no engine light, no artillery fire, and even the distant sea of stars could not be seen clearly.
"Set a new jump point and continue the jump."
It is not the time to rest assured. Since the Red Maple Republic's fleet has already caught up, it is likely to detect the jump coordinates of the Swan within a minute.
The Swan still needs to continue to jump and run away.
Although the jump method is convenient, it is still very troublesome to get rid of the pursuers by jumping.
The jump signal is very clear. You don't even need a psychic like An Yun to track it. You can rely on shipborne equipment.
If you want to erase the jump signal, you can only rely on a massive star, such as a star, to orbit it for gravity navigation and wipe it out, and you have to repeat it several times to completely get rid of it.
"I feel the jump signal, they are chasing us!"
"Keep jumping!"
An Yun just took the time to wipe the blood from his nose with a tissue. The Swan disappeared from this star field again with a twist. Almost within thirty or forty seconds after the Swan disappeared, the Red Maple Republic's fleet arrived and immediately detected the new jump signal and continued to track.
In this pursuit game, the Swan is not dominant. After all, it is only the smallest warship in tonnage, and the capacity of the energy pool and the jump distance are the weakest among the warships.
Each jump consumes a lot of energy, and the energy consumption will increase exponentially with the distance.
Alyssa needs to find a place where she can really get rid of the pursuers, or at least a place where the Swan can hide temporarily.
And this must be done within thirty seconds before the fleet arrives, otherwise it will be dragged and can no longer run away.
Alyssa kept turning the star map, trying to find the next suitable jump location, and her brows were getting deeper and deeper.
Until Li Chengxi suddenly interrupted:
"Do you still remember the Daming Lake... No, do you still remember the bright spot marked on the star map?"
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and with a swipe of her finger, the star map turned to a slightly glowing star field.
Perhaps, it's worth a try?
