The Yinhai Nebula was very large. The deeper one went, the denser the dust-like objects became. The distant starry sky became blurry, even impossible to see.
In such a space environment, it was difficult to maintain absolute stability in the warp channel. For safety reasons, human spaceships would never enter unless there were special circumstances, and the speed of flight would also be reduced a lot.
In other words, when a spaceship was traveling in the nebula, it was the easiest to calculate its flight path in advance, and it was the easiest to be attacked.
Fortunately, this place was close to the most prosperous region of the Federation of the Milky Way, and the space pirates had been wiped out a long time ago. It was quite safe here. Besides, the Scorching-Sun Battleship was the latest model of the Federation. Who would dare attack it?
When the journey is long and the scenery is the same, it becomes tedious.
Jing Jiu fell silent for a longer period of time. Zong Lizi didn't know that he was preparing for the upcoming battle. She thought that he was in that kind of mood again, so she asked Jing Jiu gingerly if he wanted to go back to the gaming cabin to have a look.
"I'm not playing games," Jing Jiu said. "I'm doing math problems."
Thinking of her life in the apartment in the underground neighborhood, Zong Lizi suddenly felt uneasy while looking at the wall-like window and the glowing dust of the starry sky outside the window.
In such a short period of time, her life had changed so much, and now she was embarking on a journey to the main planet. It really made her feel like she was dreaming.
It was all because of this young man in a blue hoodie.
"I won't ask who you are or where you came from, but I really want to know …"
She looked into Jing Jiu's eyes and asked sincerely, "Why did you choose me?"
Jing Jiu thought to himself that if there was a reason, it could only be that he was wary of the Immortal Qi weapons such as nuclear bombs, and that the TV screen at home just happened to be showing that kind of news.
That night, the female priest of the Stargate had asked Jing Jiu a similar question, and his answer was that he didn't care.
Gods did not need to care about such things.
No matter how ordinary her talent was, or how ugly she was, it wouldn't affect Jing Jiu's decision.
He would still cure her illness, help her Cultivation, and bring her to the University of Stargate to become the new female priest.
But other than that answer, there really was another reason.
To this world, he was a guest.
Whether he admitted it or not, being a stranger in a foreign land was a difficult thing to bear.
Especially that single word.
He wrote that book and asked the Twirling Rain Company to change it into a game and promote it to the whole universe. Other than the insecurity, it was mostly due to the spiritual level. Though he didn't need them, he would like to find the ascendants from Chaotian, especially those he knew, like the Immortal Tan, Cao Yuan, and Jian Xilai. Of course, the Snow Girl was the best choice.
Zong Lizi was the first person Jing Jiu got to know in this world, and she was the first cause and effect.
If the world was an endless sea of stars, she would be the anchor point.
On the spiritual plane, it was a very important existence.
…
…
Zong Lizi waited for a long time, but Jing Jiu didn't answer her.
But she noticed that under the illumination of the starlight, the face covered by the blue hoodie became brighter, and the beautiful eyebrows became much gentler.
Then she understood how important she was to him, and her eyes narrowed with delight.
Just as she was about to take another step forward and sit on the deck chair, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the warship.
Not long after, the door was violently pushed open.
Ran Handong walked in the front, a grave expression on her face.
Jiang Yuxia, Hua Xi and a few main preachers followed behind her, feeling a bit nervous.
"Out …"
Before Zong Lizi could finish her sentence, Ran Handong had walked past her and came before the deck chair. She said to Jing Jiu quickly, "Two warships have appeared up ahead, refusing to communicate with them. They don't have any military marks. The warming-up of the weapon system is over. Our warship has already collected the digital longitudinal waves."
The collection of the digital longitudinal waves indicated that the Scorching-Sun Battleship had been locked on by the enemy and could launch an attack at any moment.
Jing Jiu got up and walked to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the space outside.
Ran Handong followed him and said, "The distance between the two warships is one million and three hundred thousand kilometers. It's very difficult to slow down and turn around to evade the attack, and … that's the entrance of the passage."
Looking at the space outside the window, Jing Jiu didn't say anything.
Even though he had the Fairy Sword Eyes, he couldn't see the scene more than one million kilometers away; but he seemed to be able to see the two unnumbered warships.
The alarm of the Scorching-Sun Battleship changed its tone. The messy footsteps could be heard in the distance, followed by the heavy sounds of machinery and the buzzing of the electromagnetic machine.
In a short time, the protective shield of the battleship had been adjusted to the highest level, looking like a glowing drill in the dark space.
Jing Jiu folded his hands behind his back, the rings on his finger emitting a faint glow.
Thinking of the scene she had seen in the warehouse in the central area, Ran Handong asked in a low voice, "Did you know about it a long time ago?"
Jing Jiu didn't pay any attention to her.
Ran Handong came before him and asked through gritted teeth, "If you knew about it a long time ago, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"This is my problem," said Jing Jiu. "I'll solve it myself."
"How? By relying on the authority I gave you? Or those nuclear bombs that you've tampered with somehow? "
Ran Handong couldn't stand it any longer. She looked at him as if she were looking at a madman, exclaiming, "We are in space! What can the nuclear bombs do? "
The main hazards of the nuclear bombs were the shock wave, the light radiation, the penetrating radiation, the radioactive pollution, and the electromagnetic pulse.
If the bombs were dropped on the ground, they could cause a great deal of damage. However, in the space devoid of air, the power of the nuclear bombs would be greatly reduced, and the damage of the light radiation, the radioactive pollution, and the electromagnetic pulse would have no effect on the people on the battleship.
The battleship that could pass through the warped space wouldn't be affected even if a nuclear bomb exploded a few hundred kilometers away, and it didn't even need to put down the composite material.
Jing Jiu was aware of all this, but he still didn't pay any attention to her.
Ran Handong exclaimed anxiously, "Don't act recklessly if you don't know anything about it! If you intend to bombard the monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter, you can do whatever you want; but it's useless. "
All of a sudden, the alarm on the battleship stopped ringing.
The people in the room eyed each other speechlessly, wondering what had just happened. Was it possible that the two battleships were not dangerous, and what had happened was merely a misunderstanding?
It was then that Ran Handong heard the voice in her bracelet. "What have you done?" she asked Jing Jiu.
"It's too noisy," replied Jing Jiu.
Hearing this, Zong Lizi seemed to have guessed something. She let out a surprised scream reflexively, and then covered her mouth hastily.
In the next moment, more and more surprised screams broke out on the battleship.
The officers and soldiers on the battleship suddenly found that their control stations had been taken over by the computers, and even the authority of the captain of the battleship had been temporarily taken away.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship, which was decelerating, quivered slightly, and then sailed forward at a normal speed again.
Ran Handong's expression changed slightly. She ran to the side window and looked at the outside of the battleship, an incredulous expression showing on her face.
A dozen nuclear bombs appeared in her field of vision, looking exceedingly cold and gloomy under the dim light of the nebula.
All of a sudden, a few chilly blue glows appeared on the nuclear bombs. The propelling devices emitted a different glow than usual, and they were propelled forward at a much higher speed than usual.
In the next moment, more and more nuclear bombs left the battleship, heading toward the deep and dark space along with the glow.
He had indeed modified the propelling devices of the nuclear bombs!
"It's useless." Ran Handong turned around and said while staring into his eyes, "Even if you can change the speed of the missiles, you can't change the scale of the universe."
The difference between the speed of sixty thousand kilometers per hour and the speed of six hundred thousand kilometers per hour was meaningless in a battle between battleships.
The officers and soldiers on the battleship had also discovered what had happened. They rushed to the observation windows on both sides of the battleship in tandem, their expressions bewildered and nervous.
Thousands of nuclear bombs left the battleship and headed toward the space ahead, looking like a rain of metal being swallowed by the darkness.
It was a magnificent scene, but it was useless.
It was then that a voice burst out on the battleship.
"Don't be nervous, little friends on the Scorching-Sun Battleship. This is merely an inspection."
The officers and soldiers on the Scorching-Sun Battleship, including the captain of the battleship, looked in the direction of the voice reflexively, wondering if they had connected to the other party.
The voice was calm and gentle. The image of a middle-aged professor wearing glasses seemed to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
The battleships of the two parties couldn't communicate with each other. It was Jing Jiu who had cut off the network.
The reason they could communicate with each other was that he wanted to hear what the other party had to say; but he didn't want to hear the nonsense from the other party. "Hurry up," he said.
The voice went on with a hint of a smile, "Do you feel annoyed? I don't like it either. Fortunately, this is the last time. "
Jing Jiu said, "Yes, this is the last time."
