Soon the Ares also entered the gravitational field of the black hole, and the navigator instantly felt that the Ares was sliding towards the black hole uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the Ares has plenty of power and does not slide towards the black hole very fast.
After a period of flight, the Ares finally caught up with the Wise Man.
In order to observe the status of the Wise Man more carefully, Qi Yiming asked the Ares to close the distance with the Wise Man.
After visual observation, it can only be said that the condition of the Wise Man is very bad.
Not only was the body covered in scars, but even the engine on one side seemed to have malfunctioned.
Originally, Qi Yiming thought about using the power of the Wise Man when escaping from the black hole’s gravitational field, but now it seems that there is no hope.
“Everything is implemented as planned…” Qi Yiming was not discouraged after observing the Wise Man. Although the engines on the Wise Man could not be counted on, after calculations, after Xuefeng completed the combination, he would ignite the engines of the remaining battleships. The purpose can be achieved completely.
So the Ares changed the direction of the ship’s bow with difficulty within the gravitational field of the black hole, and then fired tractor beams from many places on the ship’s body, firmly dragging the Wise Man.
“Drag has been completed…” The leader of the engineering team loudly reported the current status to Qi Yiming.
“Okay, Captain…the engine is running at full power. Let us hold the Wise Man first.”
Following the control of the navigator, the four engines at the tail of the Ares sprayed flames outward with all their strength, trying hard to stabilize themselves and the Wise Man diagonally below her behind her.
“Calculate the time…” After completing the dragging work, Qi Yiming immediately asked the scientific officer on the Ares to calculate how long it would take for them to be locked by the black hole’s gravitational field.
A few minutes later, the science officer submitted the data to Qi Yiming. He whispered to Qi Yiming: “The situation is not very optimistic. The power of Ares is not enough to offset the pull of the black hole on us. We are still falling towards the center of the black hole.”
Qi Yiming had already thought of this situation, so he wasn’t very surprised.
Finding that Qi Yiming had no reaction, the science officer continued: “As time goes by, the closer we are to the black hole, the stronger the pulling force will be, and the faster we will fall towards the center of the black hole.”
Qi Yiming nodded and then looked at the data in his hand. It clearly stated that there were only 17 days, 21 hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds left before the Ares was locked by the black hole’s gravitational field.
This joke was a bit too big. It would take He Zhenzhu and the others at least 18 days to arrive from another channel.
If the current situation continues, even if He Zhenzhu and the others come over, they can only watch the Ares and the Wise Man being swallowed up by the black hole.
“This damn thing is too small…it’s only a few hours away…” Wang Shuhua also cursed in a low voice after reading the data.
“Brother Wang, go back to the bridge of the Heavy Hammer!” Qi Yiming looked at Wang Shuhua solemnly: “We have to ignite the engine of the Heavy Hammer immediately.”
Wang Shuhua looked at Qi Yiming in confusion: “Where is the engine on the Heavy Hammer? The engine automatically fell off during the assembly, and it was all put into the Ares’s storage warehouse.”
“There’s no time to explain now. You first know the bridge of the Hammer, and you’ll understand what’s going on soon.”
Seeing Qi Yiming urging him eagerly, Wang Shuhua stopped inking and turned around to leave the bridge of the Ares.
After confirming that Wang Shuhua was in place, Qi Yiming started the disassembly process of Ares and Hammer again.
“Zhi Nao…start the special decomposition program!”
“The special decomposition program is starting… Please select the termination position…” Zhinuo’s voice fell, and the detailed steps of the decomposition program appeared on the console in front of Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming checked each item one by one until his eyes stopped at the step of rigidly connecting the Hammer and the God of War. He clicked on the option to carefully check the status of the two warships when the decomposition was carried out at this step.
Unfortunately, the Hammer’s engine was not installed back when the process reached this point.
Qi Yiming frowned and thought for a while, then asked Zhinao: “Can the special procedure advance or postpone the engine reorganization step?”
“It can be advanced or postponed without affecting the safe operation of the warship.”
After receiving a positive answer from Zhinao, Qi Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Reload the engine reorganization step into the 2341st step of the decomposition process.”
“Checking for interference…”
“No interference was found, the adjustment is effective… The program steps are being reset, please wait!”
“Program reset completed…Do you want to execute it…”
Qi Yiming took a deep breath: “Execute…”
The whole process didn’t last long. The Hammer and Ares just restored the armor layers surrounding each other to their original state.
When the separation process progressed to the point where the Hammer was about to extract the rigid connections that fixed each other from the Ares hull, the entire disassembly process stopped here.
Then the Hammer’s two engines ejected from the Ares’s combat readiness warehouse, and were pulled towards herself by the tractor beam fired by the Hammer.
After the heavy hammer’s engine was installed, Qi Yiming said to Wang Shuhua on the fleet channel: “Try to start your engine.”
After a while, Wang Shuhua said: “The ship’s intelligent brain prompted that the Hammer is in a combined state and cannot start the engine…”
“What about enforcement?”
“I need higher authority…”
Qi Yiming slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that Wang Shuhua was only the temporary captain of the Heavy Hammer and had no authority to order the ship’s brain to enforce his orders.
Soon Qi Yiming gave Wang Shuhua higher authority.
Sure enough, after Wang Shuhua received authorization, the two engines of the Heavy Hammer completed the ignition and started.
“Science officer… recalculate the time and how much force the rigid connection between the two ships can support. I don’t want the ship to be destroyed and people to die.” Seeing the Hammer start the engine, Qi Yiming smiled on his face and spoke easily. A lot.
A few minutes later, the Ares’ science officer came to Qi Yiming again with a smile on his face and sent a data report to Qi Yiming through the information board in his hand.
“With the power provided by the Hammer, we can now last for 21 days. This is because the engine of the Hammer is currently only running at 60% power.”
Qi Yiming nodded: “How much thrust can the rigid structure between the two ships withstand the Hammer?”
“The engine power of the Hammer can only be increased by 12% at most. If it is increased further, metal fatigue will occur in the rigid connection between the two ships, which will cause problems over time.”
“Then let the Hammer remain in its current state. We have enough time to wait until He Zhenzhu and the others arrive for rescue.”
“After the other warships come over, will they stay in this state?” the science officer asked Qi Yiming curiously.
Qi Yiming nodded.
As a tracker and bystander, Zhou Hao’s head was already shutting down at this time.
No… his mind should have shut down the moment the Ares rushed into the black hole’s gravitational field.
In his opinion, what is the difference between Qi Yiming and others rushing into the black hole’s gravitational field and dying?
It’s not that he underestimated Qi Yiming’s battleship, but with his current knowledge base, he simply couldn’t imagine how a battleship that entered the black hole’s gravitational field would be able to get out of trouble.
Anyway, he had never heard of any warship in his life that could escape intact after accidentally entering the gravitational field of a black hole.
