The Death List Novel - Chapter 569
Chapter 569 Omen
“Qin Lun, are you saying that some of the four ambassadors and disciples predicted the transition trajectory of Faith and stopped them before they could approach the X-35 galaxy …” Robin couldn’t help but curl his lips and sink into deep thought.
Dong Yue, who was beside her, looked at Qin Lun as if she was looking at an idiot. She couldn’t help but ask, “My lord, I don’t want to question you, but do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Is what I said difficult to understand?” Qin Lun looked calm and shrugged his shoulders innocently.
“Sir!” Vera gently tugged at Qin Lun’s sleeve and explained with an expression of disdain, “The speed of light jump is not so predictable. Even if you know the destination beforehand, it would be very difficult to intercept this kind of thing halfway!”
Through Vera’s introduction, Qin Lun’s expression gradually became serious, and he understood why everyone was questioning his speculation. Unlike the three-dimensional world in which ordinary people live, there are traces of the route between the starting point and destination of the journey, and the roads and bridges are clearly marked on the map.
The space warship’s light-speed transition had already involved a four-dimensional world. It was a point-to-point spatial transition. The transition orbit in the fourth dimension may be linear, a point in the closed ring, or even disordered.
It takes several jumps to travel from its starting point to the X-352 galaxy. Although its destination is fixed, the jump point halfway through is unknown. From the looks of it in three dimensions, sometimes it is even far from its destination, just to find a safer jump point.
“So it’s impossible to predict the route of the Faith?” Qin Lun was still unwilling to give up his speculation. In his opinion, this was the only important support that could explain the Faith’s death.
Perhaps in the eyes of Dong Yue and the others, if Faith was unlucky, she would have run into an irresistible enemy. What if he encountered some sort of heavenly explosion or something? But in Qin Lun’s eyes, there was no surprise at all. Any seemingly accidental thing was inevitable. He had already known this in the orphan world.
“It can be predicted, but it’s extremely difficult!” After a moment of silence, Vera gave an objective opinion. “In order to predict the orbit of an object’s light speed transition, we first need to know its destination, and then we need to understand the situation in this star field in detail, almost to the extent of observing patterns on our palms.
“Most importantly, with our Giese technology, we can’t make a big leap forward. We don’t know how many breakpoints we’ll have to go through before we reach our destination.”
“Therefore, those who can predict the path of Faith must possess a higher level of technology than Giese, as well as an understanding of the situation in this region!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and added.
“Are you still unwilling to give up this deduction?” Vera covered her face helplessly.
“Thank you, Vera, I know!” Qin Lun reached out to pinch Vera’s face and laughed out loud amidst the anger of Beauty Keith.
“Sir, are you sure?” Bahrain asked through the guild channel.
After entering the Gospel World for so long, Apostle had ordnance officers implant a built-in nanosensor into their bodies, connecting their telepathic senses together. Not only did they expand the number of conversations, they also expanded the range of senses, forming another form of team channel.
Compared to Giese’s skepticism, Apostle’s discussions were much more rational. At least, they didn’t think that there was anything that couldn’t be done at all.
“Yes, although it’s a bit unbelievable, I believe that the Faith was destroyed by the enemy more than accidentally.” Qin Lun rubbed his nose with a faint smile. “Faith is the essence of Giese’s civilization, but it definitely can’t compare to the people of Heathmeier from a purely technological point of view. If it wasn’t an accident when they met the warship of Heathmeier, what would have happened?”
“There is indeed a possibility that Heathmeier will lead us into a trap, but destroying the Faith is not an easy task. Judging from the message sent by Captain Marcus at that time, there is only one possibility!” Robin’s voice came from the guild channel. “The Heathmeier people used some kind of celestial body to set up a trap.”
“There are many phenomena that can destroy faith, such as massive star flares, white hole eruptions, black hole devouring, and so on.” Dean muttered to himself from the side. After entering the Gospel World for so long, Apostle had a much better understanding of the universe.
“There’s no need for wild guesses. The battleship’s science team has come to a final conclusion.” Robin brought Sawa through the door and placed the two colored photos on the table. He smiled and looked at Qin Lun, “You can be proud. Although the Giese scholars in the science team did not directly confirm your conclusion, the belief number fell into a trap has been accepted.”
“What’s the difference between these two colored photos?” Robin pointed at the picture on the table.
“It’s two different parts of the wreckage of the Faith, but I can’t see anything.” Bobby leaned over and took a look, then widened his eyes curiously, waiting for Robin’s explanation.
“Idiot, the battleship wreckage in the first photo was updated, and the battleship wreckage in the second photo looks very old. There are even unusual spatial and temporal rust spots!” Dean almost buried his head in the photo and rudely commented.
“Hey, who do you think is an idiot!” Bobby angrily waved his fist at him. Ever since everyone became more familiar with him, these two little fellows of the same age had been trying to prove that they were even more outstanding.
“Time flows differently!” Hearing Dean’s observations, most of Apostle’s eyes lit up.
Because there was no air in outer space, metal was hard to corrode, so only a long time would leave some special marks on the surface after being radiated by the starlight, known as space-time rust spots.
“Yes, the science team collected some samples of the remains left behind by Conviction. This star field belongs to the outer space of the Star System and can first exclude the phenomenon of star explosions. At the same time, the remains do not leave any radiation behind, so they also exclude drifting nebulas and comets. In the end, there are only a few possibilities left.”
Robin said solemnly, “According to their analysis, of all the remaining possibilities, Faith has the greatest chance of hitting a folding wormhole. If that’s the case, then it means they were somehow lured …”
“The probability of a superluminal jump hitting a folded wormhole is less than one in a billion. Besides, to avoid a jump, Faith will conduct a jump light test beforehand. Only during wartime will Faith avoid this step.”
Bahrain pondered for a moment and said, “So it seems that Sir is right. The Faith has indeed fallen into a prepared trap.”
“Without Faith, we would be rootless duckweed. Now that there is no prompt for the main mission, where do we go?” Robben frowned and muttered. Everyone in the room turned their gazes to Qin Lun.
Robin secretly sighed. After Qin Lun defeated Holy Light Team’s high-ranking Apostle, he became the actual leader of the team.
Although he had hoped that the other party would take over the leadership, Robin couldn’t help but feel a little worried after it happened. After all, Qin Lun wasn’t the kind of leader who put the safety of his team members first.
“Can the technology team track the location of the wormhole after folding?” Qin Lun asked calmly.
“They have obtained more than ten sets of possible star field coordinates. However, with the Attack’s ability, they can only go to one or two of them at most.” Robin shook his head and cautiously suggested, “Without the cover of the Faith, we don’t have any mission guidance. It’s best if we stay where we are or meet up with the other warships in Giese.”
Faith was Giese’s most powerful battleship, but it wasn’t the only one.
In fact, Giese’s strategic plan this time was magnificent. In addition to the Scorpion Galaxy’s second revolving arm against Jannamer Silver Lightning, there were eight universe battleships of the same level as the Scorpion Galaxy as backup. However, they had to wait for the outcome of the battle on the Vanguard Belief before deciding whether to come to the war zone or not.
After escaping from the Galaxy of Keith once, Giese no longer had the thought of being number one in this world.
If Faith could defeat Jannamer’s mature form on its own, then Keith would be able to bring the other warships to war one after another. If Faith fails, proving that their current technology is not enough to deal with the Jannamer maturity, Giese will consider continuing to flee, and the remaining spaceships will be a complete guarantee of their escape.
Qin Lun raised his head to look at the ceiling, but his pupils did not have a focal length. He was lost in thought.
After a while, Qin Lun lowered his head and thought about all the plans. He had to admit that Robin was right. Without further information, it would be dangerous to act rashly. The opponent who framed Faith was more familiar with this region than they were, and there were also powerful universe ships.
So what if they could find the wormhole? Without the Belief as a backing, this was pure courting death. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the other party had forced them into a blind spot in disguise.
“We …”
“Sir, please wait a moment!” Just as Qin Lun made his decision, Dean suddenly interrupted and asked, “Clearly, the team we encountered before was not the pursuing team of the Horn of the Devil, so there is at least one of the two remaining opponents. Haven’t everyone thought about why the team that killed the Faith would do this? Isn’t this forcing us to leave the battlefield?”
“Unless they’re not a pursuit team and don’t want us to participate in the final battle!” Qin Lun pondered for a moment, but more of his companions fell into confusion. After Dean said this, his opponent seemed to be thinking for them.
After all, the destruction of Faith did not mean that the patrol team had failed. At present, the main mission without any hints did not have to continue. After consuming their stay, Shattered Star Sky had no choice but to let them return.
“Thank you, Dean. I think I have some ideas!” Qin Lun’s eyes slowly lit up as he smiled and said, “Gather Dong Yue and the others on the warship. I have something to say!”
