Chapter 72: The Voyage

“Zeus-1 has broken at!” Mika’s voice echoed through the bridge

“Maintain speed,” Lan Jue ordered

“We’ll be arriving at the wormhole in seven minutes, and will proceed to jump to the alliance border”

In the vastness of the universe Zeus-1 was but a spec But it was it’s speed, not it’s size that protected it froet a lock

If any of them knew the materials used to ems that powered it, they’d be speechless

The entirety of Zeus-1 was coem The blue coat on it’s exterior wasn’t to dazzle the eyes, but was actually created froo keystone It was ive it texture It served both to insulate the shi+p and aid in power distribution

The primary reason most airshi+ps had their speed capped was fro that fast caused the hull to heat up to extre worse the faster you went Zeus-1, with it’s coat of indigo keystone, didn’t have this probleht travel

The result of it’s excellent power transference was the ability to use the natural radiation and x-rays of the universe to charge itself When designing the shi+p, the concept was so long as you could see space, the thing would fly

The coat had required a hundred kilos of indigo keystone to produce, which itself was a c-ranked gem A hundred kilos would buy five shi+ps the size of his own

And it was only the most ordinary aspect of Zeus-1’s construction

“We’ve reached the wor interstellar jump” As Mika spoke, a series of photoshi+elds enveloped each of the passengers

Zeus-1 shook, and in the space of an instant the area around theht expanded froy shi+elds have always been an important staple of modern shi+p assembly, prized for their ability not only to protect in coainst hazardous flying conditions

In what felt like a few seconds, and yet like a century, the shi+p shuddered and onceblackness of the universe

“We’ve exited the wor the boundary of the Eastern Alliance” Mika’s voice crackled through the headsets

Lin Guoguo’s voice was next “Intelligence reports state that the Twelfth Galactic Battalion of the Eastern Alliance is currently patrolling the Shattered Starfield border Reliance on East Lake Bastion for zone control We’ll approach under cover of an asteroid on it’s left flank Then, e approach the wormhole we’ll burn towards it”

“Calculate delta-v,” Lan Jue ordered

Silence, then Ke’er piped in “Near-SOL”

“Ensure safety parao SOL”

“Yes, boss Three days ‘till jump point,” she replied
