Ye Fei was about to salute, but he saw Wu Han's exhausted appearance and worried expression at a glance. His heart suddenly stumbled, and his hand that had just raised froze in the air: "What's wrong?"

Anyone who knows Wu Han knows that this Minister of Defense is not only not a particularly serious person, but is very easy-going in private. Even in his work, he looks kind and amiable. Since the exoskeleton was eliminated, the external threats of human beings have disappeared. No matter how busy the work at the headquarters is, there are still a lot of staff officers to bear it. How could it be impossible for the National Defense Headquarters to be tired like this?

"Ye Fei, I won't say much nonsense, the situation is urgent." Wu Han said straight to the point.

Ye Fei's back was subconsciously straightened: "What's the situation? You said!"

Wu Han's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Last night, that is, 5 pm on June 13, 2213, the Shanying did not contact the headquarters at the specified time. The headquarters made a call according to the prescribed procedures, but there was still no response until 22 pm. Everyone at the headquarters rushed back overnight to wait for news, but until 8 pm this morning, there was still no news. It has been confirmed that the Shanying was missing."

The Shanying is also a Sky Eagle-class warship, and it is a complete version of the warship that is the same as the Sky Eagle. Even if there is a problem with the communication equipment on the ship, there will be no problems with all the communication equipment on more than a dozen warships at the same time, so there is a loss of contact. Eighty-mostly, the warship encountered something abnormal.

"What do I need to do?" It is impossible to actively close the communication. Even if Ye Fei is unwilling to believe it, missing two reports in a row is enough to prove that the Shanying has encountered an irresistible situation. To be serious, it may even have been destroyed.

More than a dozen Skyhawk-class warships that carried out the awareness plan could not defeat them and could still escape. They have not encountered such extreme situations yet, but humans' understanding of the universe is too barren, and they cannot imagine what the Mountain Eagle encountered.

"I need you to terminate your current mission immediately and go to the missing airspace of the Shanying, find a way to find the Shanying, or find out the situation of the Shanying." Now is not the time to be polite. Wu Han issued a new order directly. "The coordinates of the last time the Shanying contacted the headquarters are only 260 light years from your current location. Your battleship is the closest human spacecraft to the missing place. I need you to rush over as quickly as possible."

Ye Fei's expression gradually became more and more serious as Wu Han's narration. After listening to the task requirements, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Finish the task resolutely!"

"Be careful, don't be impulsive. We have lost one spaceship. We can't lose another one." Wu Han said solemnly.

Although his words were harsh, they were by no means curse.

The possibility of surviving after the Shanying lost contact is extremely small. If it is an extreme situation that survivor cannot resist, the Tianying cannot resist. The potential line of this sentence is to remind Ye Fei to do his best, but don’t take risks with the safety of the Tianying.

Ye Fei nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I understand."

"Get off as soon as possible." Wu Han ended the communication with concern, and immediately sent the last position coordinate of the Shanying to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei transferred the location information directly to Jiang Xue: "Have you heard it? Abort the mission and set out to support the Shanying immediately!" Although the Shanying may have encountered an unexpected situation, before obtaining the exact evidence, everything is just a guess. Even if there is only one percent hope, you must make 100% effort.

The Sky Eagle instantly disappeared from the periphery of the Confucian galaxy and flew towards the target at a maximum speed of one light year per hour.

Ye Fei received the order at 8:30 in the morning on June 14, 2213, just half an hour after contact.

Although the Sky Eagle was ordered to rush to the designated coordinates to carry out the rescue mission, Ye Fei always had some hope in his heart. He expected the Mountain Eagle to encounter some irresistible factors. However, as time passed day by day, there was no news about the Mountain Eagle, and those hopes became increasingly slimmer as time passed.

Ye Fei didn't know what was waiting for him in the target area, and began to become silent and irritable.

The distance of 260 light-years requires 11 consecutive flights to reach the destination area. In fact, everyone knows that when the Sky Eagle arrives at the target area eleven days later, no matter what happened to the Mountain Eagle, it is too late.

Moreover, the headquarters only grasps the last contact coordinates of the Shanying, which is a total of nine hours from 8 am to 5 pm, which is enough for the Shanying to fly out of nine light years.

The straight-line distance of nine light years is nothing to humans today, but without knowing where the Shanying is going, any direction may be the direction where the Shanying disappears. Calculated in a radius of nine light years, any point within a wide range of more than three thousand cubic light years may be the location where the Shanying is accidental.

The Skyhawk-class warship captain is only fifteen kilometers long. As long as the distance is opened for a few light seconds, the surrounding images must be enlarged with an optical system to discover it.

Just thinking about the concept of more than 3,000 cubic light years made Ye Fei's scalp feel like it was as numb as if it was electric.

At the early morning of June 26, 2213, the Skyhawk, which had traveled 260 light-years long distance, was about to arrive at the last coordinates reported by the Mountain Eagle. The Skyhawk was ready for combat in advance. Although it was early morning, everyone in the ship was stuck in their respective combat posts and nervously waited for the moment to escape the super-light speed.

Ye Fei in the bridge was more irritable than anyone else, but he had to be calm to avoid affecting others. The entire bridge was filled with a dull low pressure.

There was only a dark piece left on the big screen, without any images of the starry sky, and only a row of red numbers were counting down continuously.

There were only thirty seconds left in the countdown, and Ye Fei took a deep breath and made a gesture to Ruan Peng.

Ruan Peng immediately connected the public channel of the entire ship as Ye Fei told him in advance. Ye Fei was silent for a few seconds before whispering: "In the last seven seconds, prepare to escape from the super-light speed."

The whole ship became nervous immediately, and the air almost solidified.

The countdown to zero is irreversible. The moment the Sky Eagle broke out from the super-light speed, everyone held their breath at the same time until the cosmic images outside the ship gradually became clear.

In order to prevent accidents, Ye Fei did not deviate from the superluminal speed at the last coordinate of the Sky Eagle. The current distance of Sky Eagle is nearly an astronomical unit from the target position. Even if Shanying encounters a supernova explosion, such a distance is safe enough.
