Epoch of Twilight

After returning to the city hall, Luo Yuan called Cheng Guanghui, asked him to help and purchase a batch of books, and arranged for two private teachers. Naturally, self-study is not as efficient as a teacher who specializes in teaching. Since these children have such interests and talents, All he can do is encourage.

However, after sitting for a short time, the guard in the communication room called to report that the spaceship sent an emergency message, requesting a call.

Luo Yuan's expression darkened when he heard that, and he rushed to the communication room immediately.

A row of guards stood outside, making the communication room look heavily guarded.

"Please show your ID!" Seeing Luo Yuan approaching, the captain of the guard immediately saluted and said loudly with an excited expression.

Luo Yuan nodded slightly, and took out his certificate. This is a system he established himself, even if he came here in person, there is no exception, because this place is very important.

Since the disaster, all satellites and communication base stations on the earth have been destroyed. Ordinary means of communication cannot contact the spaceship at all. Now the only way to communicate between the earth and the spaceship is a star-level Quantum that is completely disassembled from the spaceship. The communication device is placed here at this time.

Compared with the interstellar-level quantum communication device destroyed by Luo Yuan, this one is undoubtedly much smaller, about the size of a notebook, it can support holographic three-dimensional images, and it can communicate within about three astronomical units (one astronomical unit is equal to the distance between the earth and the sun. average distance)

Contacting the spacecraft near the earth is undoubtedly a small talent with great use.

It's not that the Boxing people don't have portable personal communication devices, but their technology is too advanced compared to human beings, and mechanical communication like mobile phones has long been eliminated.

All of their communication is done through the sponge-like personal communication terminal attached to the cerebral cortex, not only for calls, but they can also directly connect to the Boxing data network similar to the Internet through the personal communication terminal to directly control various robots, and Because of the sponge-like terminal of this bionic structure, which is connected to the cerebral cortex and nerves, they can even enter the virtual world for learning and living.

It's a pity that this kind of technological gap is too great. It is completely based on the advanced industrial foundation of the Boxing people. With the technological level that human beings can't even reach in the 1970s and 1980s, facing this kind of communication terminal can only be at a loss. Water, no matter how optimistic it is estimated, it will not be cracked for at least ten or twenty years.

Fortunately, the Boxing people are still indispensable for high-power remote communication devices, otherwise how to communicate with the spacecraft would be an extremely difficult matter.

Luo Yuan quickly walked into the communication room and connected to the call.

"What's the matter?" he said in a low voice.

"Mayor, I want to report an emergency to you..." Bi Jianping, who was in charge of the work of the spacecraft, had an ugly expression when he spoke.

After listening for a while, Luo Yuan's face became gloomy.

The problem is not the spaceship, but the earth. Judging from the surveillance image of the spaceship, for some reason, a space behemoth is trying to enter the earth, and now it has entered the atmosphere. It is expected to land on the earth in half an hour. .

Under normal circumstances, it would be nothing. The key point is that its upcoming destination is likely to be in the East Asian continent. This made him look dignified, and turned into anger.

This is malfeasance!

Letting a space behemoth enter the earth will cause damage, which has already been demonstrated on the moon.

Luo Yuan still remembers the astonishing scene like a hydrogen bomb explosion. Even with his current strength, he is still powerless in the face of this super giant super creature.

Once this space behemoth falls near Hope City, it will be a catastrophe enough to destroy the entire human race, and even the remaining human beings may be reduced to ashes.

"Why didn't we monitor the earth before this?" Luo Yuan said in a deep voice, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The biggest reason for such omissions is probably the negligence of the people on the spaceship.

The people who control the spacecraft today are not professionals, either government officials or scientific researchers, and their main job is to study the technology of the Boxing people and the construction of residential areas. Coupled with the high degree of intelligence of the spacecraft and the advanced automatic defense system, the real-time detection of the space environment has been neglected.

It seems that it is urgent to form a professional spaceship crew. Luo Yuan secretly made up his mind that this is the case now. If it comes to the interstellar flight, where the environment is more changeable, there may be more problems.

Feeling Luo Yuan's unrestrained anger, Bi Jianping couldn't help turning pale.

"This time I was negligent, subjectively I didn't pay attention to it, and I have an inescapable leadership responsibility."

"Your responsibilities are determined by the organization. From now on, organize special personnel for me to monitor the situation on the earth at all times, and report to me immediately if there is any problem." Luo Yuan said coldly.

"Yes, Mayor!" Bi Jianping breathed a sigh of relief, and said immediately.

After speaking, Luo Yuan ignored Bi Jianping, disconnected, and walked out of the communication room quickly.

Only he has the right to fire on the entire spaceship, but the remote cannot pass the authority verification at all. After all, there are too many means to hide the image and control the spaceship. Such an advanced spaceship obviously will not leave such a big hole.

Although the intellectual brain seems to have signs of life and a certain degree of autonomy, this kind of life is more like the simplest way of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Under the restrictions of rules and regulations, there is actually not much room for maneuvering. There aren't many loopholes to exploit either.

Now that this behemoth was about to land, it was obviously too late for him to rush to the spaceship to kill the space behemoth.

...

After a while, he left the dungeon.

The sky was still gray, covered with lead-like dark clouds, and looking up from the ground, there was no sign of a space behemoth at all.

Luo Yuan stepped on his feet, and the ice mining workers nearby exclaimed, his body shot straight into the sky like an arrow.

Before reaching the cloud layer, Luo Yuan vaguely felt a weak force passing through the cloud layer and falling downward. He sensed the direction of this force, changed direction quickly, and flew towards the target.

In ten seconds, he had already entered the dense "dark cloud"

This is a floating layer composed of dust, light volcanic ash, and fine ice crystals. The thickness of the entire floating layer reaches an astonishing four to five kilometers, like a thick curtain, blocking the sunlight that hits the earth.

Because the shallow cloud layer is relatively thin, there is not much charge. The higher you go, the stronger the static electricity phenomenon is. After five or six hundred meters deep, electric light has appeared in the cloud layer.

They shuttled through the dark clouds like electric snakes, making the dark clouds begin to glow slightly.

From time to time, electric arcs were attracted by Luo Yuan's body and landed on the top of his head, splashing countless electric lights. Of course, such electric arcs had no effect on him, except for the slight burning of his skin, which could not cause more serious damage to him.

However, this is just the beginning. After two thousand meters, the density of the floating layer here begins to reach its peak, and the dark clouds have already appeared the real lightning.

Faced with such a threat, even Luo Yuan did not dare to be careless.

Although with his physique, even if he was hit, it wouldn't be fatal, but he couldn't be completely immune to the impact of lightning's powerful electric charge on bioelectricity, and once he was hit, he would be paralyzed.

A layer of will light film soon appeared on his skin. This kind of will light film is not a strong defense for him today, but it is quite effective for resisting lightning.

The reason is also very simple. The appearance of the light film of will immediately changed his body from a conductor to an insulator. Not only will he not actively attract lightning, but even if he is directly hit, the weakened lightning will not affect him much. .

Luo Yuan endured five electric shocks along the way, and in half a minute, he finally broke through the dark clouds.

...

The long-lost sunshine, with a warm and bright breath, sprinkled down from the top of his head, making his body seem to be shrouded in a layer of golden light, and even the dark clouds under him showed a translucent color under the sun, like a piece of Blackish crystal.

However, such a beautiful scenery could not attract Luo Yuan's eyes at all.

He looked up at the sky tightly, and against a dark blue background, a tiny meteor quickly fell towards this side.

Because of the interference of flames and other forces, from the outside, even Luo Yuan's perverted eyesight couldn't see what it was, but from the faint force field it radiated around, and the deep feeling in the heart, Make him absolutely sure that this is the space behemoth he's been waiting for.

Ever since he had the ability to predict, especially after the four-dimensional vision deepened, his sense of the dark has become more and more intense, just like the prophet when the destruction of the Boxing people is about to happen, some things often do not happen, he has already There was a vague premonition.

...

At this time, it is about seven or eight hundred kilometers away from here, and judging from the direction it is about to fall, the destination of this giant beast is about a thousand kilometers away from Hope City.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, hoping that the city would be safe in a short time.

But he didn't dare to rest assured that with the mobility of space behemoths, such a small distance, in fact, could not be regarded as absolutely safe.

"It seems that the pace of migration must be accelerated next." Luo Yuan sighed!

At this moment, the system that had been silent for a long time finally received the message of the mission after a long absence.

"C-level task: kill the giant space beast Gold Devourer. Time limit: None; accept/cancel;"

After glancing at the system's tasks, Luo Yuan looked back at the meteor.

The space behemoth is not so easy to kill, the disparity in size already makes people desperate, just like he can't split a mountain, and he has no good way to face this kind of behemoth that looks like an asteroid.

He tried once, but still failed.

Although his strength is now stronger than before, there is still no qualitative change. In terms of energy output, it has only increased by six times from the original 0.5 equivalent to the current 3 equivalent.

And this level of improvement is obviously useless in the face of such a super giant creature. After all, even if a big hole is punched, it is like a mosquito bite.

What's more, with the huge experience he needs to upgrade now, a space behemoth with one head and two heads is irrelevant. He never wants to face such a terrifying creature unless he is forced to.

Luo Yuanduan sat on the cloud, waiting patiently for its arrival. As time passed, the fireball became bigger and bigger, first it was the size of a ping pong ball, then it turned into a football, and soon it became Baskets.

This giant beast seemed to curl up into a ball, and under the crazy friction of the atmosphere, it burst into raging and scorching flames.

However, this high temperature, which is enough to turn most meteorites into ashes, seems to have no effect on it.

The air around it is extremely distorted, presenting a grotesque phenomenon, countless streamers of light mixed with lightning, surrounding its body, like fluttering catkins, like ribbons, flirtatious and colorful, beautiful and morbidly dangerous.

This place is within the range of planets and celestial bodies, and there are high-density magnetic fields distributed here. Compared with the empty space, the power of space behemoths is undoubtedly easier to manifest here, which is enough to make people daunting!

Seeing that the giant beast was getting closer, Luo Yuan also started to act. With his will concentrated, his body flew towards the giant beast. After a few seconds, his speed exceeded the speed of sound, leaving a cloud of sound cones on the spot. Cut through the sky as fast as lightning.

In just a few minutes, he had approached the giant beast, but he didn't dare to approach it, and stopped at a distance of more than ten kilometers from the giant beast. Although the distance was not short, it was still within the scope of the giant beast's vision .

In fact, the scope of the entire vision reached an astonishing thirty-kilometer radius, which seemed vast and magnificent.

Brilliant streamers, violent air currents, and countless lightning bolts made this area feel like chaos.

Maybe this kind of vision is fatal to ordinary people, but for an existence at Luo Yuan's level, these manifested visions are all imaginary, just the aftermath of the power leak. It has no power against him, let alone a threat. In terms of power, it is far worse than the lightning in the dark clouds before.

Even he, as long as he is willing, can trigger similar visions, but it can only be regarded as a miniature in comparison, and the scope and scene are countless times inferior.

The only thing that troubled him a little was the violent airflow around him, but fortunately the belt woven by the Ghost Face Horse was still there, allowing him to barely maintain his flight.

...

In fact, any behemoth can only feel this kind of shock from primitive instinct when it is close.

Compared with the first 600-meter-long space behemoth he saw on the moon, it looks slightly smaller, with a diameter of nearly 300 meters. Of course, this is also because it is curled up in a ball, because Various interferences from the vision made it difficult for Luo Yuan to see its true face carefully. He could only judge through blurred vision and four-dimensional vision that it was a vertebrate with obvious limbs.

If the body is fully stretched, it is likely to reach 500 meters or even longer, and the height may be between 200 meters.

The vertical height of 200 meters is no less than that of an ordinary mountain peak. Facing such a giant beast, Luo Yuan only felt powerless for a while.

...

At this time, its body had already approached the dark clouds below.

The body was still a few kilometers away, and this piece of dark cloud that seemed to be solidified suddenly began to surge and turbulent, and then it seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force, and a large piece of dark cloud formed a sunken bowl shape.

The next moment, as the space behemoth plunged into the dark cloud, a terrifying shock wave spread rapidly, and a big hole was pierced through the entire dark cloud in an instant.

Ten seconds later, Luo Yuan flew to the entrance of the cave. Just looking at it, he looked dazed. The entire cave was five or six kilometers in diameter, and the dark clouds thousands of meters thick had already been pierced by giant space beasts.

The sunlight from the sky above the clouds is like a huge beam of light penetrating the land along the entrance of the cave, which is like a miracle!

Just as Luo Yuan was in a daze, a loud noise came from below!
