Chapter 626 Seventeen Years!

Xu Yunjin is a man of swift action, and his style is very militaristic. He used necessary means when necessary, and soon, he shouted and issued a series of orders seriously.

The one-month maintenance period was forcibly compressed to 20 days, which would inevitably greatly extend people's working hours.

All the new humans were still okay, after all, everyone knew the internal reasons. But this series of orders made the subordinate civilizations complain. Although these subordinate civilizations were all elites, they were more free-thinking, and some internal rumors also emerged, saying that "the enemy might come and Pangu might have to give way" and so on.

Xu Yunjin sneered and dispatched a large number of troops, directly arrested some rumor spreaders, and then announced to increase the welfare benefits of "overtime period". Under the policy of big stick and red dates, the whole thing was suppressed.

"...It's OK to maintain the necessary part, and the non-essential ones can be maintained after the 'Pangu' sets off. The subordinate civilization cannot be too oppressive." Xu Yunjin said to an expert of the maintenance team.

"The 'Pangu' war star must correct its course as soon as possible, speed up its actions, and leave as soon as possible." He sighed in his heart. In just a short while, he deeply realized the difficulties that Captain Yu Yifeng usually faced.

Just like that, more than 20 days later, the anxious maintenance work was finally completed, and the Pangu started again.

The success of the first maintenance made everyone feel relieved.

After all, the entire escape is a long-term project. The farthest enemy is still 9.3 light years away, but it cannot be sloppy. The earlier you set off, the safer you will be.

This communication was not useless. The Pangu urgently updated the escape route. At the same time, both parties also formulated the next plan: change the direction every 4 months.

The hibernation bill may continue, but the infrastructure work on the planetary curvature engine, including foundation laying, basic material production, etc., can already be operated in the Pangu.

"Future" is responsible for observing the enemy's movements and notifying the "Pangu" to change the route at any time. As long as there is a targeted route, it is not easy to plunge into the enemy's encirclement.

Just like that, the long pursuit in the starry sky began.

Although the Pangu ran slowly, it was still superluminal, which could cover most of its movements. The enemy's spacecraft ran fast, but it needed to stop from time to time to analyze the gravity data of the Pangu, which greatly reduced its speed.

There was also a Future, following behind the enemy, collecting information everywhere and threading the needle.

One year... two years... three years...

The entire pursuit soon entered a white-hot state.

The enemy took the lead in adopting the "double-teaming tactics" of planetary battleships chasing behind and the other highly maneuverable small spacecraft intercepting in front.

As long as some small fleets are lucky and wait for the opportunity when the Pangu stops for maintenance, they can take the lead in launching an attack!

Of course, a large number of fleets running in front of the Pangu is equivalent to-not being able to detect the movement trajectory of the Pangu at all. Coupled with the timely notification of the Future, the double-teaming mode of "waiting for the rabbit to try" did not have a very good effect.

A strange deadlock appeared.

The Future did play a huge role. Several times, it commanded the Pangu to avoid the double-teaming of the enemy army.

The universe is too big. Because of the limitation of the speed of light, all kinds of information are like the fog of war. This is definitely a contest of mathematics, energy and tactics.

However, in the fourth year of escape, a big thing happened: the Future was discovered!

It almost had a head-on conflict with a war star!

The large number of photon torpedoes exploded like blooming suns. A large number of scorching light groups flashed briefly. This conflict caused the Future to lose a large number of stored spacecraft and antimatter.

It is normal to be discovered after long-term detection of the enemy's military movements.

Fortunately, as long as it does not encounter a white dwarf war star, the Future is not afraid. Its powerful maneuverability quickly throws away the pursuers.

Such adventures are always safe and sound... It also makes the Future more cautious and careful...

"In the past 8 years, there have been 14 conflicts of varying sizes..."

"We can't run away like this! What should we do? The enemy's encirclement has not been thrown off, but has a tendency to get smaller and smaller. The speed of our Pangu is still too slow..."

On this day, the Future was quietly parked in the void, observing the movements of the enemy's war planet. Several experts were constantly discussing, almost racking their brains.

All in all, Pangu has been escaping for 17 years, and has run a total of 45 light years!

17 years!

"The nearest enemy planet is still about 5.4 light years away."

This distance trend is not beautiful. Especially the white dwarf war planet, which is only 15 light years away from Pangu.

The new humans must think of a better way to completely get rid of this tracking.

"It's difficult, really difficult... The traces of planetary movement are still too obvious." People are distressed, and there is almost no way to get rid of this sticky pursuit of the enemy.

Without the help of other civilizations or allies, in this dark universe, everything can only be done by oneself.

Even Yu Yifeng sat in his seat with a troubled look on his face, not saying a word.

Eight years have made them gradually realize the current situation. At 3 times the speed of light, it is really difficult to escape from this encirclement.

There were several times when it was completely lucky that the white dwarf war star was misled, otherwise the Pangu would have been in danger long ago!

"There are two options now: first, put a large number of people into the Pangu, and spend more than ten years to completely improve the remaining engines. After all, we have prepared for a lot of time, and we should be able to speed up."

"Second, give up the Pangu." This silence did not last long, and Yu Yifeng spoke with a dry voice.

"...It was our decision-making mistake. If we had known earlier, we should have put a large number of people into the Pangu, and maybe the remaining 120 towers would have been built now. The Pangu would have been able to reach a higher speed and escape..." Yu Yifeng regretted it.

In fact, there was no way to deal with this kind of thing, and all the members present did not speak.

The original decision was made by everyone together... and it was also for the safety of the entire new human race.

Now everyone is a little regretful. They did not dare to take risks at the beginning, so the current speed is still 3 times the speed of light, wasting so many years in vain. Especially at the beginning, there were no enemies chasing for 9 years.

Although Yu Yifeng's think tank is smart, they are not gods and will make mistakes. The new humans have never experienced such a long pursuit war. Facing such an enemy like sticky candy, they are simply stuck and can't be wiped off, and they lack experience in dealing with it.

This long-term war has made everyone's psychology and mind more mature.

"Well, no matter how much regret it is, it's useless. The current priority is to invest a large number of people to continue to build the remaining curvature engines. Otherwise, we can only abandon Pangu."

"In other words, we need to discuss a question: Can we persist for the ten years required for the entire project." Yu Yifeng stood in front and said seriously.

The think tanks discussed for a while: The answer is... I don't know!

Because there were several times that relied on luck!

The enemy's planetary spacecraft has a maximum speed of 10 times the speed of light, which is not particularly high, but it is more than enough to chase Pangu. Along the way, they stopped from time to time to analyze. Although it slowed down the speed, it is really difficult for the new human experts to predict whether they can catch up with Pangu in the next ten years.

The speed of the white dwarf war star is very fast, reaching 50 times the speed of light, but the acceleration of this war star is very slow. It takes more than two years to start from zero to the maximum speed.

Therefore, the maneuverability of this war star is not particularly high, and its turning ability is not good. This is why it has not caught up with Pangu so far.

"We still have to take a gamble..." Yu Yifeng sighed: "If we can't give up Pangu, we can only send all our engineering teams... Take a gamble! Ten years, do you have the confidence to complete it within ten years?"

No one spoke, and fell into a long hesitation.

After a long time, one of the experts said: "It doesn't take ten years. We have manufactured a large number of parts. Many infrastructure projects in Pangu have also been completed. I estimate that seven or eight years will be enough."

Yu Yifeng did not hesitate too much: "Then it is decided... The next time Pangu stops for large-scale maintenance, all engineering personnel will be sent over. The time is 4 months later... The selection and preparation of engineers should also start as soon as possible!"
