During the process of continuous acceleration, the shuttle engine kept throbbing, the metallic rumblings were enough to send chills down one's spine.

"It's been two hours already, damn it!" Feng Yi slammed his meaty fist onto the ship's console.

Presently, nothing could be changed with engine acceleration. After a few minutes of calculations by Eggy, it concluded that changing the flight path towards the outside of the Black Hole after three rotations, the shuttle's speed would reach a terrifying level. Although it wouldn't be the true speed of light, it'd be the closest mankind has ever gotten during their space travels.

This move had a high probability of passing through the Black Hole, ending in two outcomes - either getting thrown out, or plunging into the Black Hole.

Feng Yi made the difficult decision. He didn't consider it selfish not to wake up the surviving humans. So it happened, at a point after three rotations, the shuttle abruptly changed its direction, charging crazily towards the fringe of the Black Hole.

As they approached the singularity, Feng Yi and Eggy saw countless beams of peculiar light. Physically unexplained brilliant light twisted around the edge of the blue light point - dazzling and warped.

Originally, it was blue... magnificent and spectacular, dazzling yet mysterious, inspiring awe and endless imagination.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. It felt like an instant, yet also an eternity.

Whoosh...

The blue halo suddenly disappeared. The moment the shuttle passed through the Black Hole, the light point turned into a inky black celestial body and completely vanished into nothing...

Looking through the 360-degree panoramic star observatory, what met the eyes was still a familiar star-filled sky.

Feng Yi found it somewhat hard to believe what he had just seen. He turned off the recording feature of the chronometer, put his hand down, and felt a thousand emotions well up within him. His only regret was that no one was there to witness this journey with him.

The shuttle entered high-speed operation mode, and the internal lights returned to normal. Feng Yi dashed into the gravity buffer cabin to check on the others, hoping that these people were all right.

Including Old Li, one by one, soldiers started to awaken, mostly males, totaling 13 people. The rest didn't wake up.

Amelia was sleeping peacefully. A nameless ache gripped Feng Yi's heart... she didn't make it. Even the captain didn't escape unscathed from these space travels.

Despite their joy, everyone fell back into the deep sadness brought about by the loss of their comrades.

"He's awake! He's awake!"

Just then, the power engineer was awakened by one of his close companions.

Seeing the situation, Feng Yi quickly jumped into the buffer liquid and began to call softly... Amelia's body was soft, and he could smell the fragrance emanating from her. It was light and clean.

Amelia's eyelids moved first, followed by her agile ears. Her mouth curled up, and then a sigh passed through her lips, "Won't get up without a kiss, huh."

"Cough, the beauty in my arms is a real stunner, I wouldn't be at a loss anyway."

Upon hearing Feng Yi's words, Amelia's body obviously shivered a little.

The next second, with a slap, her body was directly thrown by Feng Yi into the liquid. There was no need to help her now - Amelia had already stood up on her own, looking somewhat surprised, not understanding Feng Yi's sudden actions.

With a smile on his face, Feng Yi said, "Congratulations."

"Hmph, is this how you treat girls? You're a real jerk."

"Oh, really?"

"But I like it. Who made me a jerk too? It's our little secret."

"You've always been okay, right?"

"It's okay. Although my physique is not as good as yours, I can barely withstand five times the gravity."

Ten minutes later, only 22 people survived in the end. Luckily, the captain also woke up. Deviating from the stellar route would count as a major accident this time. Not to mention the loss of personnel, even the high cost of a single shuttle was unbearable for the military sector.

Amelia's gaze fell on the clock. Following her gaze, Feng Yi's body stiffened. Seeing the stunned duo, people turned their heads towards the continuously moving clock.

The clocks in the Liquid Buffer Cabin ranged into five types - Quartz Clock, Mechanical Clock, Hourglass Clock, Electronic Clock, and the four-dimensional crystal.

The first four showed no change, but the four-dimensional crystal seemed to have stopped, with it going one second for every few hundred seconds. As everyone knew, the four-dimensional crystal represented exact cosmic time without any deviation. Suddenly, everyone realized a terrifying problem - due to the continuous acceleration under sub-light speed conditions, the internal time of the shuttle had pulled far away from the outside world.

In other words, what felt like three minutes to them was only a second. So, in the short two hours of Feng Yi's acceleration, about 20 days had already passed in the real world.

Circling the red giant star, you could see the brilliance of the fire swirling and rising. At this moment, the final giant star did not seem so dazzling, it even seemed very beautiful, because the speed of light transmission had slowed down, or you could say that the current speed of the shuttle was too fast, resulting in the received photons only being a slow, distorted form.

Calmly, Amelia stated: "We need to reduce speed immediately- is the navigator no longer with us?"

The soldiers bowed their heads...

The captain panicked: "Decrease, decrease the speed, who can control the shuttle?" But when he turned to Feng Yi, he was already gone.

Seeing this scene, Amelia frowned, she didn't say much, and she quickly came to the navigation console with a brisk steps, her fingers flew over the console, entering various commands.

Boom...

Boom...

Boom...

In seven minutes, the shuttle shook three times in a row, finally slowing down from high-speed to sub-light speed. If they hadn't noticed and continued to consume at this rate, the comrades of Big Macs would likely be reduced to ashes by the next day.

They still had time to catch up, all the officers and soldiers gathered around the console to watch Amelia attentively, their eyes filled with unbelievable joy!

Feng Yi had never thought this girl could be so responsible and decisive. The flirtatious, mature, temperamental, and efficient Amelia, which of these was the real Amelia? Nevertheless, at this moment, Feng Yi's gaze towards Amelia was filled with a touch of affirmation.

As for operations, the captain could barely make do, but compared to Amelia, it was worlds apart.

As a temporary military supply, this was definitely tough operation. Amelia's experienced control even surpassed that of the two navigators. Nobody thought she could operate the shuttle, they had thought the shuttle was running on autopilot entered before they went into the buffer solution. Truly deserving of the term "Flower of the Yingland Federation".

A roar came from the captain's cabin: "Damn it, what are you staring at? Hurry back to your posts."
