Chapter 179 (1/2)

Xia Fei is silent for a moment. Uncle Porter must have done a very dangerous thing. He is not sure whether he can survive. Therefore, he asks Fengling to inform him that he doesn't need to come. However, Fengling informs Xia Fei because he is worried about the safety of old Potter.

”Do you know where Uncle Porter has gone?” Xia Fei asked, ”if I can know where Uncle Porter is, I can look for it. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to find a person in the Starry Sea than to look for a needle in a haystack.”

Fengling nodded. ”If I didn't know where Porter was, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to find you. Porter specially left your way of communication. I thought you were his former colleague or friend. I didn't expect you to be so young. Maybe I should listen to Porter's words and not involve you.”

The young Xia Fei did not help himself in the view of Fengling, so he was full of distrust.

Xia Fei smiles. ”Now that I have come, you may as well tell me uncle Porter's destination. Maybe I can help.”

Fengling hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, ”when I helped him clean the room, I secretly looked at old porter's personal computer. There was a star field map with many red and green dots on it. I copied it to my computer.”

After that, Fengling takes out an old-fashioned tablet computer from the space ring. Xia Fei clearly remembers that old porter also likes to use this type of computer.

After a few clicks on it, the wind chime calls up the star map and hands it to Xia Fei.

This is a three-dimensional map of the black abyss star region. It is surrounded by a circle in white. It is located on the periphery of the black abyss star region, near the vast unknown area.

Obviously, this area is the old porter's destination, but this star field environment is very strange, most of them belong to high gravity area.

The universe is not immutable. In the vast sea of stars, there are some places scattered with a substance called high gravity stardust. They are like dust in the air, which can't be seen or touched. Any warship entering the dust will be attracted by the high gravity stardust. They are like high viscosity glue, which drag the warship very slowly and release it far beyond the general area Strong gravity will directly crush ordinary people into meat patties. Humans without combat ability can't survive in it.

If you want to go to the high gravity area, you must first have a strong body to avoid damaging your body because of the strong gravity. Secondly, you must have a strong and explosive warship, which is forced forward under the traction of gravity.

”No wonder old porter's warship has to be equipped with a dual engine system. It turns out that he was prepared.” Xia Fei said to himself in his heart.

The dual engine system has a very limited speed bonus for the warship itself, but it can greatly improve the torque of the warship.

Take the car on earth as an example. The speed of a sports car is undoubtedly very fast. However, if a piece of steel weighing five tons is put into the cockpit of a sports car, then its speed will never be much faster than that of a truck pulling five tons of goods, because its torque is not enough, and it is likely to cause the engine to burn down over time.

So the old porter's warship was equipped with two jump engines to share the gravity, which not only ensured the forward speed, but also ensured that the engine would not be damaged due to overheating.

According to boten, old porter's apprentice, Porter has been refitting the Gaia Tristan class frigate since Xiafei left. All the work is done by himself. In addition to the dual engine system, there should be some other changes to adapt to the high gravity environment.

The Tristan class frigate, nicknamed ”little fat man,” has a solid exterior and a solid interior, and is capable of handling high gravity areas with a twin engine system.

Even after the careful modification of old porter, it is extremely dangerous for a single frigate to enter the high gravity area, because the gravity dust will not only make the warship sink into the mire like a swamp, but also interfere with the communication signal, radar system and navigation system. The closer you are to the center of the high gravity area, the more serious the interference will be, and even make an advanced warship Become, blind, deaf.

If there was no great temptation, old porter would never have risked so much to enter the high gravity area. Besides, only one third of this area belongs to the black abyss star region, and the other two-thirds are still unexplored wilderness areas. The degree of danger and complexity of this area is beyond imagination.

”What on earth attracted old porter to search so painlessly?” Xia Fei can't understand all this.

After biting his teeth, Xia Fei enlarges the star image and observes it carefully.

There are a lot of green light spots around the area that Porter delimits. The gravity effect of these places is not very serious, and ordinary warships can barely pass through.

Xiafei speculates that these green spots should be the areas that Porter has explored, and that his real destination this time should be those red spots.

Most of the red light spots are located in the core of the high gravity area or near the wilderness area. This time, old porter must have ventured deep into the high gravity area, so he left such a message to the wind chime.

In addition, there are three dazzling purple light spots in the star map, two of which are in the core of the area, and the other goes deep into the wilderness. If it is right, these three special sites are likely to be the top priority of old porter's investigation and the most likely places to find him, but these three places are also the most dangerous places.After lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei thought silently for half an hour. Fengling looked at him slightly uneasily. From his eyes, he could feel that his heart was more urgent than Xia Fei, but he didn't show it.

Although Xia Fei and old porter have no name of master and apprentice, they have a further relationship than the real master and apprentice. The valuable notes of old porter, even his most sincere apprentice Bo Teng, are not given to him, but they are given to Xia Fei, which shows that he attaches great importance to Xia Fei.
