Chapter 1159: Chapter 1153: Moving Target 2_1 Chapter 1159: Chapter 1153: Moving Target 2_1 At this mont, Finn Lewis and his battleship were hovering less than 1000 kiloters above the Xunfeng Belt, tailing the movent of the entire belt.
“Now it’s pretty clear,” Luna Starfield briefed everyone, “the location is less than 0.8 light-years ahead of us, which ans it must be inside the Xunfeng Belt, and we are currently at the upper edge of the Belt.”
The shape of the entire Xunfeng Belt resembled an Arican football, erratically flying through the area, and Finn Lewis’s current position was in the middle upper part of this football shape, which was also the thickest part of the entire Xunfeng Belt.
Their target lay 0.8 light-years below, a distance which, in the cosmic sense, was incredibly close to Finn Lewis and his team.
But inside this Xunfeng Belt, it was akin to divine retribution.
Even if you flew at the speed of light, it would take nearly nine months.
The problem is, can you fly at the speed of light?
Impossible!
...
Finn Lewis and his team had found a way to enter, though.
As horrendous as the Xunfeng Belt was, it wasn’t utterly impenetrable.
As long as they ensured that their direction of travel was consistent with that of the Xunfeng Belt and maintained the sa speed, the impact force from the belt’s materials would greatly diminish on entry.
Their battleship’s protective shield could withstand it, and it wouldn’t cause any harm to the ship.
However, maintaining the sa direction and speed as the Xunfeng Belt, and then attempting to move laterally within the Belt, they’d be even slower!
It could take more than a decade to reach their destination.
This ti fra was utterly unacceptable for Finn Lewis and his crew, so there was only one solution left—to warp directly inside.
However, warping would create a massive impact on the protective shield, and according to Luna Starfield’s calculations, within less than twenty seconds, Finn Lewis and his team would have to accelerate the battleship to match the speed of the Xunfeng Belt, and the direction needed to be correct too, to ensure the ship wouldn’t be destroyed.
Otherwise, there was only one outco: annihilation, becoming one with the countless materials of the Xunfeng Belt.
But this thod was extrely dangerous.
Soone had proposed a strategy: let one battleship open the warp point, and then have the target battleship rush into the warp point at the sa speed as the Xunfeng Belt.
In doing so, upon warping, the battleship would also maintain the sa speed.
If it also matched the direction of the Xunfeng Belt, the battleship would be safe.
However, this wasn’t guaranteed because, first of all, the direction upon warping was random.

In the vastness of space, the warp point’s direction wasn’t a fixed pathway, but a full range point with countless directions in a 360-degree sphere.
The direction you’d be flying when you co out was uncontrollable.
That ant…
although calculations could keep the probability of aligning with the direction of the Xunfeng Belt within a certain margin of error, that error was one in ten.
In other words, there was only a ten percent chance of maintaining the correct flight direction.
The other ninety percent were all wrong directions, and with such speed, if the direction was incorrect, staying put would cause even less damage.
One in ten…
Unless you had enough ships to gamble with, sending them one by one, the problem was that Finn Lewis didn’t have that many ships with him now; only six Leviathans, the Spear of the Sun, and his flagship, making a total of eight battleships.
Surely, they couldn’t use all eight battleships for the experint, could they?
