Songya zone.

It is a nebula area spanning 200 light-years, with a width and thickness ranging from 1 to 5 light-years.

The nebula here is neither a common radiation cloud nor a dark gray dust cloud, but a very special "colloid cloud."

These colloidal clouds are thick and flexible, like man-made spider silk. Any spacecraft that enters the Goya Nebula must slow down.

Even if you don't slow down, those colloidal nebulae will slow you down - because the greater the speed, the greater the resistance.

Moreover, the Goya Zone is located at the junction of several civilizations and is an important transportation thoroughfare, with many passenger and commercial spaceships passing by.

Several surrounding civilizations are unable to extend the tentacles of order into this sticky Goya Nebula.

then……

There are many star thieves and plundering is prevalent.

This place has become a shockingly chaotic area.

When the star pirate forces were so rampant that they seriously threatened the trade routes of several countries and caused heavy economic and human losses in consecutive years, several civilizations joined forces and launched a large-scale joint clearing operation in the area, vowing to eradicate them. All star thieves!

As a result, they were fighting in an away game, lacked understanding of the environment, and the Star Thief forces had formed a climate. This joint encirclement and suppression ended in a disastrous defeat. The countries also blamed each other for the reasons for the failure, and they broke up unhappy.

Afterwards, various countries independently organized multiple sieges. However, for thousands of years, the power of the star thieves in the Goya Nebula has risen and fallen, and has never died...unless all the spacecraft of various countries are detoured and do not pass here.

The Destroyer Star Thieves.

It is a large-scale star thief group that can reach the forefront among the thousands of star thief forces in the Goya Nebula.

It has more than ten advanced modified spaceships and more than ten thousand vicious star thieves.

The leader of the star bandit group, Manquilla the Destroyer, is a giant man over three meters tall, with muscles all over his body and an ugly face. It is said that he was thrown into sulfuric acid by his parents when he was a child.

Naturally, Manquilla, who has never felt any warmth or love, and is only full of hatred and anger for the world, soon showed his "talent" after joining a group of star thieves.

He is cruel and bloodthirsty, and after taking down any spacecraft that makes even the slightest resistance, he will usually just say one word - kill. No matter men, women, old or young, he will kill everyone.

Even if the ship does not resist and chooses to surrender, it will still have to decide whether to kill any of them, kill some of them, or kill them all according to its mood... But Manquilla is always in a very bad mood.

Over time, he gained the title of "The Destroyer" and gathered around him a group of equally brutal and murderous subordinates. He also created a shocking scene in the Goya Zone, making the passing spaceships tremble with fear. And on some nearby civilized planets, it has the reputation of being able to stop children crying at night.

Manquilla the Destroyer.

Manquilla also enjoyed the feeling that people were afraid of him, afraid of him.

In a white-gray nebula, inside a dark star pirate spacecraft shaped like a fishing trident.

In the bridge control hall, a middle-aged man in gorgeous and noble clothes appeared on the communication panel of the command platform in front of Manquilla.

The middle-aged man said on the screen in Common Language: "Manquilla, as long as you help me kill those two people, I will give you a bounty of 10 million Badu (Badu, a currency unit, similar to star coins). As well as the right to move freely within the Sovereign Kingdom, in addition, I will hire you with a high salary as the commander-in-chief of the Soverein Kingdom’s Free Fleet to help you control the entire Goya Zone... This will all be your future fiefdom."

Hearing this, Manquilla picked out his ears with his fingers and said in a mocking voice: "The usurper Frega, you want me to help you stabilize the throne for 10 million Badu? Add one more The Commander-in-Chief of no real significance, and the entire fiefdom that I need to conquer by myself... Usurper, do you think I, Manquilla, am an idiot?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Manquilla, I never meant that."

The middle-aged man waved his hands in embarrassment. He was also very annoyed that the other party kept shouting "usurper", but he still had to say: "The Nebula Princess is the fastest flying spaceship in the Sovereign Kingdom. Our fleet cannot catch up. If the brother and sister want to go to the Norton Kingdom, the Goya Nebula is a must-go place, and our star map experts also discovered that the Nebula Princess is most likely to pass through near the location of the Destroyer Star Thief Group... …”

"Mr. Manquilla, that spaceship will definitely pass by you. There is a young and energetic prince and a beautiful princess on it. Please send them home safely, or..."

A cold murderous intent flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes: "Whatever you do with them, it's best...kill them!"

"You can negotiate whatever you want. There are enough Badu in the Sovereign Kingdom's treasury."

The middle-aged man's tone was full of temptation.

Hearing this, Manquilla smiled slightly, wrinkles appeared, and his sulfuric face became uglier. He thought for a while and said: "Tell me the coordinates of the Nebula Princess, and I will estimate the approximate time of their arrival."

"OK, alright!"

Frega looked ecstatic and quickly asked the star map expert to send the coordinates.

He did not forget to win over: "Mr. Manquilla, thank you for your help. You will be the most distinguished guest of the Kingdom of Sovereign. I have decided to grant you a noble title and give you a rich fief."

Manquilla smiled coldly: "Don't thank me in a hurry, usurper, I just won't let go of every lamb that passes by the Destroyer Star Thieves."

Especially the lambs who have fallen into a snare.

…

Nebula Princess.

The most luxurious, most advanced, and fastest civilian spaceship in the Kingdom of Sovereign.

It has elegant lines, smooth and rounded shape, like a perfect work of art.

The maximum speed can reach 0.65 times the speed of light, so it does not require any weapon protection, because except for light, no spacecraft or weapon can catch up with it.

When in danger, just speed up and run away.

But now, this high-speed spacecraft is about to enter the chaotic zone-the Goya Nebula.

Because of this decision, the two crew members on the spacecraft had several heated arguments.

"Brother, the Geya Nebula is too dangerous. Star thieves are everywhere in it. We are very likely to encounter them. We might as well go around here." The female voice said.

"No, it will take at least ten more years to get around here. Ten years later, my kingdom will have been firmly controlled by that damn usurper of Ferrega. We must seize the time to find it in the Norton Kingdom. Aunt, let her help us restore our country!" the male voice said through gritted teeth.

"However, once we enter the Goya Nebula, our speed will slow down, and those star thieves can easily catch up with us. The Princess does not have any self-defense weapons."

"No, the Princess is equipped with an anti-matter engine that is only available in level four civilizations. Its power is three times that of a conventional engine. Under any circumstances, there cannot be a spacecraft faster than the Princess!" the man said very confidently.

"Brother, it is said in the "Galaxy Encyclopedia" that there is no spaceship in the Goya Nebula that can be faster than the Star Thief's modified spaceship, unless it has undergone a special design to reduce drag. There were many fourth-level ships in the past. Civilized spaceships tried to pass through, but very few succeeded in getting out... This place is not as simple as you think."

The woman stamped her feet, hoping that her brother would change his mind and take a more detour instead of facing the danger directly.

"Shut up, women shouldn't interfere in men's business!"

The man interrupted rudely and continued to control the spacecraft, heading straight into the Goya Nebula.

But as soon as they entered, the huge negative acceleration caused their shoulders to be almost severed by the fixed straps.

"Didi~"

"The spaceship is slowing down, slowing down..."

"The current acceleration is -186m/s2, -187m/s2, -189m/s2... The resistance is still increasing, and it is expected to decelerate to below 0.1C."

The sirens of the spacecraft kept coming.

"This is impossible!"

The speed of the spacecraft dropped so fast that the man couldn't believe it. He endured the severe pain caused by the negative acceleration and stepped on the afterburner rod under his feet to increase the output power of the antimatter engine to offset the negative acceleration.

"Boom~"

After the power was increased, the tail of the Nebula Princess emitted light that was ten thousand times more dazzling than sunlight. Under the huge thrust, the negative acceleration was greatly reduced.

The two people's backs leaned against the backs of the seats again.

But this state only lasted for ten minutes, and Intelligent Brain issued a warning: "The engine is overheated, please reduce the engine power!"

Looking at the screen displaying the engine temperature, the red highlighted area representing high temperature was quickly encroaching on the orange area. The man had no choice but to relax the pedal and reduce the power.

The body leaned forward involuntarily, and it was painful to be restrained by the fixed belt.

A few days later.

The speed of the Nebula Princess dropped to less than 0.1C.

At this time, it can be seen from the perspective of the outside of the spacecraft that the surface of the spacecraft is covered with a viscous substance with a diameter of more than hundreds of kilometers, like a ball of marshmallows, and as the spacecraft moves forward, more and more viscous substances gather.

If you want to return to normal speed, you must wait for the speed of the spacecraft to drop to 0 and clean up the goo before you can continue to move forward.

While the man slowed down, he regretted that if he had known this, he should have slowed down before entering the nebula.

Okay now, we have to stop the spacecraft completely and clean up all the gunk before we can move forward.

This would take several days.

I hope I won't be targeted by the star thieves.

…

Less than three hours of sunshine.

"Our baby stopped, hahaha, baby, here we come!"

Three strange-looking star pirate spaceships headed straight for the Nebula Princess...
