Chapter 645 Unknown Spaceship

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Li Mingze waved his hand, and all the team members followed him into the spaceship.

"Choose any of these rooms, and come to the bridge immediately after placing your personal belongings." Li Mingze said, leaving everyone with a back view.

His room was not with the team members. The captain's room of each spaceship was located on the left side of the bridge.

After putting down his luggage, Li Mingze went directly to his command chair and sat down.

Because this mission was different from the war mission, each spaceship no longer continued the layout of the imperial warship with no space for activities.

Because of the limitation of Shenzhou's flight speed, the pioneers were destined to spend decades or even hundreds of years on their respective spaceships.

Therefore, the imperial government specially strengthened the living and endurance functions of the pioneer spaceship.

After a while, all the team members came to the bridge and found their assigned positions to sit down.

"The overall inspection of the spacecraft is complete!"

"The spacecraft weapon system is normal, the propulsion system is normal, the life support system is normal, the defense system is normal, the construction system is normal, the collection system is normal, the take-off and landing system is normal, the gravity application system is normal, and the stealth device is normal!" Xia Luoluo looked at the lines of green dynamics on the screen and reported loudly.

"The helmsman and the deputy helmsman are ready!" The twins also shouted loudly.

"The navigator is ready!"

"The chief and deputy weapons are ready!"

"The maintenance engineer is ready!"

"The radar operator is ready!"

"The intelligence analyst is ready!" Everyone in the bridge responded one by one.

"Very good, the Nautilus is leaving!" Li Mingze waved his hand.

"Nautilus?" Xia Luoluo turned his head in confusion.

Li Mingze touched his nose and said, "This is the name I gave our spacecraft. What's wrong, don't you agree?"

"I agree." Xia Luoluo looked at Li Mingze with an interested look and nodded.

The four mechanical arms that fixed the Nautilus slowly released the electromagnetic suction cups attached to the Nautilus' armor after confirming that the spacecraft had started the anti-gravity engine.

The Nautilus sank first, then suddenly pulled up its bow and rushed to the port exit.

And following closely behind them were nearly a hundred pioneer spacecraft.

After passing through the port exit, the Nautilus flew to the outside of Shenzhou.

After bypassing hundreds of high towers connecting various planets, the outermost crystal armor of the Shenzhou spacecraft appeared in front of the Nautilus.

This layer of crystal armor seemed to be able to identify the ownership of the spacecraft, and when the Nautilus approached, it opened a hole only for it to enter and exit.

The Nautilus accelerated through the hole without hesitation and came to the void of the universe.

At this time, everyone could finally see the full picture of Shenzhou, which they had never left since they were born.

The outer layer of crystal armor seemed to absorb the light from the surrounding stars. From the outside, Shenzhou looked like a ball of black charcoal, quietly hiding in the dark background of the universe.

The starlight blocked by the back of Shenzhou seemed to have been refracted and reappeared in front of Shenzhou.

In other words, if someone uses a telescope to observe Shenzhou, he will get nothing and can only see a complete starry sky.

"Why is Shenzhou like this?" Xia Luoluo and others looked at the behemoth in front of them with disbelief.

In their understanding, since the outer layer of Shenzhou is a layer of armor composed of unknown crystals, and there are so many stars inside Shenzhou, it stands to reason that the outside of Shenzhou should be a "gem" emitting dazzling light.

At the very least, it must have a handsome shape. After all, from its name, it feels very awesome. Shenzhou Shenzhou must look a bit like Shenzhou?

But what is the matter with this "black charcoal" in front of them now?

"Shenzhou was too dazzling when it was just built. In order to hide its traces, the great emperor gave it a stealth function. The crystal armor on the outer layer of Shenzhou can refract the starry sky on the other side and absorb the light emitted by itself."

"That's why the Shenzhou you see is so ugly. When we find the anchor point of Shenzhou and deploy Shenzhou in this river system, you will be able to see its true appearance!" Li Mingze praised himself without blushing and explained the reason.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off. Set the course, coordinate the nearest star system, and prepare to enter hyperspace!"

The Nautilus adjusted the bow to the same direction as Shenzhou and entered the hyperspace directly.

After entering the hyperspace, everyone left the bridge, leaving only the twins on duty.

The rest of the people returned to their respective rooms to rest. This jump will take two days, so everyone can move freely until the spacecraft jumps out of hyperspace.

A day later, Li Mingze, who was sleeping in his bed, was suddenly woken up by a ringing bell.

"What's the matter?" Li Mingze asked, picking up the intercom on the bedside.

"Captain, Shenzhou just sent an order. They found a large spaceship moving at sub-light speed on our route. The command center ordered us to go check it out." Xia Luoluo's voice sounded in the intercom.

"I'll be there right away." Li Mingze hung up the intercom, put on the power armor, opened the door and came to the bridge.

"We will jump out of hyperspace in ten minutes and then approach the spaceship at sub-light speed." Xia Luoluo turned to Li Mingze from the first mate's position.

"Open all shields to the maximum value, check whether the stealth system is operating normally, and all weapons are ready!" Li Mingze nodded and came to his command chair and fastened his seat belt.

Ten minutes later, the Nautilus jumped out of hyperspace on time and came to the universe.

"The other party is in front of us and is approaching us at a constant speed of 70% of the speed of light."

"We must turn around and synchronize with them." Radar operator Liu He reported while looking at the scanner screen.

The twins in charge of controlling the spacecraft nodded, turned the spacecraft around and faced the rear and began to accelerate little by little.

At this time, the spacecraft of the unknown civilization had flown below the Nautilus, and the Nautilus also maintained at 70% of the speed of light.

From the holographic screen of the spacecraft, the shape of the unidentified spacecraft is like a duck egg, and the pointed side is the bow of the spacecraft.

At the back of the spaceship, tens of thousands of jets were emitting blue flames.

"The diameter of this spaceship is a full 100 kilometers, and the thickness of its outer armor is 10 kilometers. Our scanner cannot scan the structure under such thick armor." Xia Luoluo put down the tablet and shook his head.
