Chapter 196 Chaos Zone: Star Thief
Geya Zone.
It is a nebula area spanning 200 light years, with a width and thickness distributed between 1-5 light years.
The nebula here is neither a common radiation cloud nor a light gray dust cloud, but a very special "colloid cloud".
These colloidal clouds are viscous and tough, like artificially made spider silk. Any spacecraft entering the Geya Nebula must slow down.
Even if you don't slow down, those colloidal nebula will slow you down - because the greater the speed, the greater the resistance.
The Geya area is located at the junction of several civilizations, and is an important transportation route, passenger transport, and commercial spacecraft passing through many.
And the surrounding civilizations were unable to extend the tentacles of order into the viscous Geya Nebula.
then……
Star pirates are full of a large number of robberies and robberies are prevalent.
This place has become a chaotic area that makes people feel terrible.
When the star pirate forces were rampant, which seriously threatened several countries' business roads, causing heavy economic and personnel losses for years, several civilizations joined forces to launch a large-scale joint clearance operation in the region, vowing to eradicate all star pirates!
As a result, when fighting away, there was insufficient understanding of the environment and the star pirate forces had formed a climate. This joint encirclement and suppression ended in a crushing defeat. The countries also blamed each other for the reasons for the defeat and parted ways.
After that, the countries organized several encirclements and suppressions, but for thousands of years, the pirate forces in the Geya Nebula Cloud have risen and fallen and never disappeared... Unless all the spacecraft of each country detours, they will not pass by.
Destroyer Star Pirates Group.
It is a large star pirate gang with comprehensive strength among thousands of star pirate forces in Geya's Nebula.
It has more than ten advanced modified spacecraft and more than ten extremely vicious star pirates.
The leader of the Star Pirate Group, Manquela, is a giant man over three meters tall. He has a muscular body and an ugly face. It is said that he was thrown into sulfuric acid by his parents when he was a child.
Naturally, Manquela, who never felt any warmth and love, was only full of hatred and anger towards the world, quickly showed his "talent" after joining a group of star pirates.
He was cruel and bloodthirsty, and when he took down any spaceship that resisted a little, he usually only had one word - kill, regardless of men, women, young and old, and no one would be left behind.
Even if a spaceship that does not resist chooses to surrender, it must decide not to kill one, kill part, or all of it based on his mood... But Manquila's mood is always very bad.
Over time, he was named "Destroyer", gathered a group of equally cruel and bloodthirsty subordinates around him, and made a terrifying change in the Geya area, which made the passing spaceship tremble and frightened. On some nearby civilized stars, the children's reputation for crying at night.
Manquera the Destroyer.
Manquela also enjoyed it very much, people were afraid of him and feared his feelings.
In the white and gray nebula, there is a dark star pirate spacecraft shaped like a fishing trident.
In the bridge control hall, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous and noble appeared on the communication panel of the podium in front of Manquela.
The middle-aged man said in a common language on the screen: "Manquila, as long as you help me kill those two people, I will give you 10 million bados (bado, currency unit, similar to star coins), and the ability to operate freely in the Kingdom of Soverin. In addition, I will also hire you as the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Soverin to help you control the entire Goya zone... This will be all your future fiefdoms."
Hearing this, Manquela used his fingers to dig his ears and said in the sarcastic sound, "Frega, the usurper, 10 million Badou, I want me to help you stabilize the throne? Plus a commander-in-chief with no substantial meaning, and a fief that I need to set myself down in the whole piece... Ultimate, do you think I, Manquela, is an idiot?"
"No, no, Mr. Manquila, I have no such intention."
The middle-aged man waved his hand awkwardly, and at the same time he was very angry that the other party kept calling "user", but he still had to say: "The Princess Nebula is the fastest spaceship flying in the Kingdom of Soverin. Our fleet cannot catch up with it. If the brother and sister were going to Norton Kingdom, the Geya Nebula is a must-pass place. Our star map experts also found that the Princess Nebula, the most likely thing to pass through was near the base of the Destroyer Star Pirates Group..."
"Mr. Manquela, that spacecraft will definitely pass by you, there is a young and energetic prince on it, and a beautiful and charming princess. Please send them home safely, or..."
A cold murderous intent flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Whatever you do, it's best to... kill them!"
"You can talk about it casually. There are enough Badu in the treasury of the Kingdom of Sovilin."
The middle-aged man tried his best to tempt him.
Hearing this, Manquela smiled slightly, and the sulfuric face became even more ugly. He thought for a while and said, "Tell me the coordinates of the Nebula Princess, and I want to estimate the approximate time of their arrival."
"Okay, OK!"
Frega's face was ecstatic and quickly asked the scientist to send the coordinates over.
He also said, "Mr. Manquela, thank you for your help. You will be the best VIP in the Kingdom of Soverin. I decided to grant a noble title and give you a rich fief."
Manquela smiled coldly: "Don't rush to thank me, the usurper, I just won't let it go, pass by every lamb near the Destroyer Star Pirates."
Especially the lamb who falls into the trap.
...
Princess Nebula.
The most luxurious, advanced and fastest civilian spacecraft in the Kingdom of Sovilin.
Its lines are elegant, smooth and round, like a perfect work of art.
The maximum speed can reach 0.65 times the speed of light, so no weapon protection is needed, because no spacecraft or weapon can catch up with it except light.
When you encounter danger, just speed up and escape.
But now, this high-speed spacecraft is about to enter the chaotic area - Geya Xingyun.
Because of this decision, there were several fierce debates between the two crew members on the spacecraft.
"Brother, the Geya Xingyun is too dangerous. There are stars and thieves everywhere. We are likely to encounter them. Why not bypass this place?" said the female voice.
"No, it will take at least ten years to bypass this place. Ten years later, my kingdom was already in control by Ferrega, the damn usurper. We must seize the time to find our aunt in the Kingdom of Norton and let her help us restore our country!" The male voice gritted his teeth.
"But once we enter the Geya Nebula, our speed will slow down. Those star pirates can easily catch up with us. There are no self-defense weapons on the Princess."
"No, the Princess is equipped with an antimatter engine that is only available in the fourth-level civilization. Its power is three times that of a conventional engine. In any environment, there is no spacecraft that is faster than the Princess." The man said confidently.
"Brother, the Encyclopedia said that in Geya Xingyun, there is no spacecraft speed that can be faster than the modified spacecraft of Star Pirates. Unless it has undergone a special design to reduce resistance, there were many spacecraft of the fourth-level civilization that had to pass through it, but few of them succeeded. This place is not as simple as you think."
The woman stamped her feet and said, hoping that my brother would change his mind and take more ways than facing danger.
"Shut up, women don't interrupt if they are men!"
The man said rudely, continued to control the spacecraft and entered the Geya Xingyun straight into the cloud.
As soon as they entered, the huge negative acceleration almost broke the shoulders of the two people.
"Didi~"
"The spacecraft is slowing down, slowing down..."
"The current acceleration is -186m/s, -187m/s, -189m/s... The resistance is still increasing, and it is expected to slow down below 0.1c."
The alarm sounds of the spacecraft kept coming.
"This is impossible!"
The speed dropped so quickly that the man was unbelievable. He endured the severe pain caused by the negative acceleration to his body, stepped on the afterburner under his feet, increasing the output power of the antimatter engine, and offsetting the negative acceleration.
"Boom~"
After the power increased, the tail of the Nebula Princess sprayed out light that was thousands of times more dazzling than the sun's light. Under the huge thrust, the negative acceleration was indeed greatly reduced.
The two of them leaned back on the back of the seat again.
But this state lasted only two minutes, and the smart brain issued a warning: "The engine is overheated, please reduce the engine's working power!"
Looking at the screen showing the engine temperature, the red area representing the high temperature is rapidly eroding the orange area. The man had no choice but to relax the pedal and reduce the power.
My body leaned forward involuntarily, and it hurts because of the fixation.
A few days later.
The speed of the Nebula Princess has dropped to less than 0.1c.
In addition, from the perspective outside the spacecraft, we can see that the surface of the spacecraft is wrapped in a ball of viscous substance with a thickness of more than hundreds of kilometers, like a ball of marshmallows, and as the spacecraft moves forward, it gathers more and more.
To restore normal speed, you must wait until the spacecraft speed drops to 0 and clean up the sticky mass before you can continue moving forward.
The man slowed down while regretting it. If he had known this, he should have slowed down a little in advance and then entered this nebula.
Now that I have to stop the spaceship completely and clear out all the sticky matter before I can continue moving forward.
This will take several days to delay.
Hopefully, I won't be targeted by the star pirates.
...
Less than three lights away.
"Our baby stopped, hahaha, baby, we are here!"
