Epoch of Twilight

A weak spatial fluctuation emitting strong light in the space disappeared in a flash, causing ripples around it.

A few hours later, a figure stopped suddenly, and the curvature bubble dissipated, revealing a figure. Needless to say, this figure was Luo Yuan.

He glanced back, but the spaceship was still nowhere to be seen.

Because he flew over his head!

With such a long distance, even he didn't dare to be confident, the calculation was absolutely accurate, and the route had no deviation, so he had to leave a certain margin to avoid missing the spaceship.

If the calculations were correct and the spacecraft did not change its course, then the spacecraft was still about 30 light-minutes away behind him, and the specific time to arrive here was about an hour.

Luo Yuan's eyes are slightly closed, and his perception is extremely expanded. At the same time, the four-dimensional brain is running at a high speed. With his body as the center, it has a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers, and nothing as big as dust in space or as small as gas molecules can escape his perception.

With this step, he is actually not much different from a god, and he can even sense the area of ​​billions of kilometers outside this range.

This is an astonishing distance. If the solar system is bounded by Pluto, he can almost sense the entire solar system. Even at the speed of light, it takes about one light-day.

But even so, Luo Yuan still waited for half an hour before catching the figure of the spaceship. It was not because of his calculation error, but because the spaceship had just changed its course a few minutes ago, and its speed was also slowing down at an imperceptible pace. Slow down.

"Could it be that you are going to look for yourself?" Luo Yuan opened his eyes and was slightly taken aback!

Luo Yuan couldn't believe it rationally, but the more he looked, the more he confirmed his judgment. The spaceship was going around a huge arc, preparing to fly in the direction it came from. It seemed that it was really planning to stop the spaceship and search for the place where he disappeared trace.

These people didn't know that they could directly enter the spaceship at half the speed of light. If they wanted to pick him up again, they must stop the spaceship first.

But it is not an easy task to stop a spaceship halfway at the speed of light. The deceleration process alone will take about a year. During this period, the power and engine cannot be turned off, and continuous ignition assistance is required.

The power of the spacecraft to maintain half the speed of light is almost equivalent to the explosion of a nuclear bomb every second. If the engine is directly turned off, the speed will drop from half the speed of light to below one percent of the speed of light in a few seconds. This terrifying deceleration, even The spaceship would collapse in an instant, let alone the people inside.

Counting the re-acceleration, it can be said that this decision will waste at least two years of human time, which is undoubtedly the most precious two years under the premise that human beings are still shrouded in the threat of the Bossians.

...

In fact, Luo Yuan still far underestimated his own influence in human beings. Whether it is fear or awe of him, his powerful image has always been deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

And this impression reached its peak after Luo Yuan became a giant and easily controlled the virtual world server.

This is a crazy world, and it is also a crazy era. Whether it is lingering and struggling to survive in the last days, or stepping into the starry sky and fleeing desperately, what humans lack the most is a sense of security.

With Luo Yuan here, everyone seemed to have confidence in their hearts.

This situation was not obvious before. After all, human beings have long been accustomed to Luo Yuan's existence, and everyone is spinning around under his strong and ruthless will.

But at a certain moment when people could no longer find Luo Yuan, this kind of anxiety broke out immediately.

The decision of the high-level meeting was surprisingly smooth, and no one had any doubts. Even the careerist who coveted the highest power felt hesitant in his heart at this time.

As a human being who stepped into the starry sky for the first time, such as a toddler, confusion and hesitation are the mainstream of the soul. What is needed is not compromise and controversy, but a strong person with a strong wrist and a final decision. These are under the shadow of Luo Yuan. The high-level government officials are not ready at all to shoulder the burden of Luo Yuan's absence.

...

"We have detected a high-energy object in front of us, compared the basic relevant data, it seems to be Your Excellency Commander!"

"Coordinates: X:233445;Y:289300:Z:238209!"

"The distance from the spaceship is 3.542 billion kilometers." The voice of the brain suddenly sounded in the central control cabin.

At the same time, the image of the object in front is also called out by the intelligent brain.

This is a blurred light and shadow, the scene around him seems to be blurred, with a clear halo, only the shadow of a humanoid creature can be seen from the center.

"It's impossible!" Bi Jianping and other high-level executives inside were startled. According to the video, Luo Yuan disappeared suddenly five days ago, and the spaceship had been flying for five full days. The distance was more than 50 billion, but it turned out that Luo Yuan was suspected to be in front of the spaceship, which was beyond everyone's understanding and unbelievable.

Chen Xinjie followed the crowd in a low-key manner, did not speak, but her breathing became a little rapid. She looked at the light and shadow tightly, her eyes unblinking. Although she couldn't see the specific figure clearly, she had instinctively determined in her heart that this was the figure. Luo Yuan.

At this moment, Bi Jianping asked aloud, "How likely is it?"

"The probability is 15%. The electromagnetic wave and light detection are both disturbed. There is still high-frequency weak space wave interference nearby, so it is impossible to collect more information. Do you need to change the course to meet your Excellency Commander?" Zhinao responded.

space wave? Bi Jianping's heart trembled when he heard it. Over the years, he has also learned about some common dangers in the universe, among which space waves or gravitational waves are one of them.

Space waves are not uncommon in the universe, and even happen all the time, but these space waves are generally harmless. The gap between the ripples and troughs is mostly smaller than the diameter of an atom, and has no effect on spaceships or living things. .

There are many reasons for the generation of space waves, most of which come from the turbulence of large gravitational objects, such as supernova explosions, neutron star collisions, black holes absorbing massive objects or regurgitation. Most of these cosmic disasters are thousands of light-years away from the spacecraft. Another galaxy is too far away, and when it is transmitted here, there is very little power left.

But I have never seen a creature that can produce space waves intuitively. If this weird and mysterious figure is not Luo Yuan...

Thinking of this, Bi Jianping hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, wait for confirmation, in case..."

Everyone thought of this possibility, and felt terrified in their hearts. Even Chen Xinjie became a little uncertain when looking at this light and shadow. In her heart, Luo Yuan was indeed powerful beyond imagination, but far from that level. This kind of creature Even without attacking, as long as it gets close to the spaceship, the spaceship will probably disintegrate directly.

"Or, first send a space fighter to check the situation!" Li Feng suggested at this time.

"The other party's hostility is unclear, so don't act rashly!" Tian Jinping shook his head with a solemn expression.

At this time, the frightening light and shadow that was originally motionless suddenly changed, and he/it began to fly forward quickly. The speed was getting faster and faster, and everyone looked closely at the light and shadow screen. A large amount of detection data of this light and shadow was marked on one side of the screen. Other data could not be understood, but the sharply increasing speed change was clear at a glance.

The acceleration of this light and shadow reaches an astonishing one thousand kilometers per second, reaching one-thirtieth of the speed of light in just ten seconds. Under such a terrifying acceleration, even critical metals are not much better than ooze.

This terrifying strength is really frightening!

In the central control room, the atmosphere became more and more dignified.

What is strange is that he/it flies in the same direction as the spaceship. He/it seems to be escaping, but it doesn't look like it!

"What is he doing?" A thought came to everyone's mind.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon the speed of the light and shadow gradually approached half the speed of light, gradually catching up with the speed of the spaceship, and the next moment, the light and shadow suddenly disappeared into space.

Almost at the same time, the spaceship trembled slightly. In an instant, everyone felt a chill rising from their hearts, and their scalps tingled for a while. They thought that the spaceship was under an unknown attack, and their hearts sank.

"what's going on?"

"Your Excellency Commander has returned to the laboratory!" Zhinao seemed to pause slightly before responding.
