Star Empire

In the sky that shone with strange light and was filled with huge rings of cold dust, accompanied by bursts of sharp whistles, twelve huge bolides cut through the atmosphere and rushed straight to the ground, crystallizing at the tail end of the spacecraft. Under the boost of energy thrusters, the speed of these bolides is still increasing.

Twelve straight orange-red flames stretched across the sky. In the rapid cooling of the surrounding icy atmosphere, these rapidly heated gases quickly returned to their original appearance. Under the trajectory across the sky, some fine pale golden crystals began to fall like rain.

This "rocky" planet is indeed huge. Judging from the optical prediction results, its diameter is a full 100,000 kilometers, and the thickness of its atmosphere is also close to 10,000 kilometers. Such a huge size is comparable to that of a star civilization. An ordinary gas giant planet in the home universe.

It is obvious that this huge rocky planet does not seem to follow the remaining rules here. In this remaining fragment, both the information representation of the previous world fragments and the physical detection after entering have shown that although the The general physical laws are not exactly the same as those of the home universe, but the differences in various cosmological constants can be said to be quite small.

According to these physical laws, this huge planet should collapse inward under its own huge gravity. The density and strength of the components that make up the planet will continue to increase, and even activate heavy nuclear fusion until it can resist its own gravity. But obviously , this did not happen here.

The spacecraft descended rapidly, and soon it changed from a visible level to a huge floating island in the sky like a mountain range. Even though it was surrounded by flames and lightning, the arc shell of the spacecraft flowing with pale golden light was still clearly visible.

The closer to the surface, the greater the density of the atmosphere. Under the impact of high speed and high temperature, the air blocking the front end of the spacecraft is almost pressed by the huge pressure into a physical wall that can be regarded as an actual existence. It leaks from this high temperature wall. The power of any orange-red streamer is comparable to the best-performing plasma cutting knife.

Under the protection of the crystal energy shield, the spacecraft quickly passed through the last thick layer of air and sprinkled a layer of pale golden crystal energy derivative debris along the way.

Before touching the ground, the bows of each spacecraft were uniformly raised to a certain angle in a strange state. The brightness of the crystal energy shield below the spacecraft suddenly increased, and at the same time, the speed of the spacecraft was instantly reduced to 1. At about tens of meters per second, when the crystal energy shield touched the ground, huge arc-shaped pits began to take shape rapidly. When the depth of the pits reached about ten kilometers, the speed of these huge spaceships also dropped to almost Relatively stationary to the planet.

After the properties of the crystal energy shield were fine-tuned, under the weight of the spacecraft, the depth of the crater deepened by about one kilometer due to being squeezed by heavy objects. Finally, in these giant arc-shaped craters like nests, the fleet was completely stable. .

"We made it!"

Ikarim jumped hard and let out a shout of surprise. Cheers and information were soon born from every node that was still responding and spread along the network. Not only Victorville and Victoria who were sitting in the main control hall. Sirifan, even Kalost near the power furnace felt this atmosphere.

In the crystal storage warehouse around him, bursts of slight buzzing sounds also came from the colorless transparent crystals with a slight golden light that were tightly fixed on the storage trusses - even though most of the people had lost their bodies, they They cannot feel feelings on the physical level, but as spiritual beings, they can feel the fluctuations of the tide of emotions more directly than ordinary physical creatures.

"That's great!" Victorville and Vesrifan hugged excitedly. After three thousand years of exile, this dark first long night was finally over. Of course, this fragment of the world is not as good as a healthy macrocosm, but just in this way, there is still a long axis of hundreds of light years within this fragment, and a space that still preserves a certain order of the universe during its lifetime is enough to provide a valuable foothold for the imperial fleet. point.

Only the second before the spacecraft stopped shaking, everyone's heart was still completely tense. Only after it was completely ensured that the foundation was stable, the spacecraft was safe, and the world environment did not undergo major changes, this operation was truly defined as a success. .

The next thing to do is to find a way to open a gap in the world barrier of the world fragments that can generate a crystal energy vortex. As long as there is a new source of crystal energy, the powerful creation ability of the mathematical rate core can use the crystal energy to continuously flow. to produce new substances.

It can be said that the mathematical core is the most powerful industrial machine. As long as it continues to operate with crystal energy, the star civilization has the ability to repair every ark to its peak state, and even according to these three thousand years The navigation experience and lessons learned produced a new type of spacecraft with a completely new structure.

At the same time, with ample reserves and vast space, or high-energy experimental test sites, various high-energy experiments and large-scale transformations that cannot be carried out in the Ark World can also begin to be put into practice.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this to be successful is to be able to hit a wall of order on the trinity of time and space laws to connect to the void, and to use the void to pour back. In the process, the "energy" of the void is assigned a value so that it can decay into A rift in crystal energy.

Indeed, this is very dangerous, but if you want to survive, the existence of any life is always accompanied by danger. Moreover, everyone is not completely blind about this matter. High energy can tear this layer of rifts. Zhai Cahir and the crystal energy crystal store the mapping environment near the void rift of the former crystal energy vortex. With these two Based on this premise, Vidoville believes that this series of projects will be launched soon.

…

"Your Majesty, the fleet has been stabilized. We have used specially modulated information scanning waves to roughly detect the planet. The density and strength of the planet's materials are increasing from the crust to the core. There are no large-scale holes or holes under the layer where the fleet is located. The fault can be considered stable. Should we send out a detection team immediately?"

"Wait a moment, we need time to use the mathematical rate core in good condition to re-create some equipment, some equipment that can fly in the universe, this will take some time. At the same time, let everyone take a break, after all, no matter what , since the crystal energy vortex erupted in the last era, everyone's spirits have been tense. Such an excessive state of tension is not conducive to the development of work, and our arrival seems to have triggered some additional natural phenomena. "

Weisrifan responded to Caloust and Cavenriel's suggestions with a smile. At the Queen's prompt, everyone who was immersed in the joy of a successful landing also began to notice the situation returned by the temporary external monitor. :

As the Ark fleet broke through the atmosphere at high speed, the huge amount of heat energy generated by friction heated the air. After the fleet landed, part of the hot air was pushed by the Ark to form a high-temperature storm that swept across the ground. This huge wall of wind enveloped the air. The high temperature and extremely high speed swept across a vast area of ​​hundreds of millions of square kilometers centered on the fleet landing area.

Under the heating of this "high-temperature steamer", the hard and cold surface began to slowly evaporate some gray-white thick fog. After rising from the ground, these fogs quickly rose into the upper atmosphere in a strange way, and in the high altitude, previously In the hundreds-kilometer-wide landing route of the Ark Fleet, the air is heated by high temperatures and rapidly rises toward space. Driven by the temperature gradient difference, the nearby cold air begins to quickly gather here.

Within a range of thousands of miles centered on the fleet, the clouds began to become thicker and thicker, with strange colors. Super lightning that stretched for hundreds of kilometers drilled in and out of the cloud wall like a flying dragon, and rumbled at extremely fast speeds. The sound resounded throughout the sky. Under the blowing of the increasingly fast cold wind, the scattered dust and golden debris on the ground were blown up and thrown into the air. A super huge storm circle began to close and take shape, and unfortunately, the wind The eye is not standardly located above the fleet.

".Does this conform to the principles of fluid mechanics or aerodynamics?" Looking at the field of vision that had been blocked by dust, Victorville felt a little numb. "If the air is thin, it should be okay to form such a huge storm circle at such a fast speed. It’s reasonable, but the density and gravity of this planet’s air layer feel strange no matter how you look at it. Although the fleet came with huge energy, but”

"Well, in other universes, there may be other hidden differences, or the crystal energy shield interferes with the air. If the crystal energy expands into conventional energy, there will be a considerable level of "expansion", etc. From the current point of view, this Nothing that can pose a threat to us has been found on this planet, and the crystal energy armor and the ship itself... the word tonnage can still be used, these allow us to not be afraid of the storm. Well, during this period of time, we can just let everyone Take a break and build some regular aerospace equipment.”

As Weisrifan spoke, he covered his mouth and yawned lightly, "Don't worry so much, at least now we are firmly stationed on the planet, the world barrier has not cracked, and there is nothing similar to the super large one nearby. Don’t worry too much about mass black holes or quasars.”

"Well, I know." Victorville smiled, and then connected the communication with the navigation cabin: "Cavenriel, you go and use simple crystal energy guidance to advance the anti-gravity equipment and space sealed in the crystal. What happened if the blueprint of the weapon was copied and uploaded to all other ships except ship No. 15?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, it's just some... psychogenic malfunction."

".Be careful and calm down."

Anyway, the tasks have been arranged. According to the current system, once the participants start executing, efficiency is not a problem. After calming down for a moment, he waved gently, and the eleven communication screens that communicated with other arks lit up in sequence. "The fleet has landed, and the system level inspection is in good condition. Are there any detailed abnormalities in each ark?"

After a slight silence, only one captain sent feedback. Albeck's voice rang in Vidoville's mind: "The mathematical rate core of Ark No. 15 was seriously damaged and may require the redundant constraint modules of other Arks to provide support."

"Understood. We will manufacture small aircraft as soon as possible and assist each ark in material exchange." Vidoville nodded. After confirming that the fleet situation was indeed stable, he took a long breath and turned off the communication array in front of him with a snap of his fingers. , "Oh, I finally saw the normal starry sky again, but it's a pity that the Ark doesn't have a panoramic view, Lil, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, I feel so sleepy." Wei Ruifan kept rubbing his eyes and yawned one after another.

"...Why is this happening all of a sudden?" Thinking of the series of unpredictable and irreversible experiences during this period, Victorville felt panicked. He quickly brought Weisrifan to the soul located below the main control hall. In the research room, after a detailed soul CT scan, the test results showed that her soul was still stable and there was no abnormality.

"...There is nothing abnormal, that seems to be the case at the moment, then...just have a good rest first."

"Well, in that case, I'm sorry Vidoville, please hold on for a while, I have to take a rest first."

Weisrifan shook his head vigorously and tried to wake himself up as much as possible. Victorville nodded when he saw this. With a thought, the two of them appeared in front of the captain's lounge. This cabin could even be said to have never been used. , but after activation, the cabin remains intact.

"Then I'll deal with the manufacturing problem first. Lil, you can rest first. Don't forget to bind a state synchronization. I'll be able to know in time if there is any problem." Victorville said with concern.

"Um...thank you." Weisrifan nodded while holding back his sleepiness and walked towards the bed in the lounge, while Vidoville flashed back to the mathematical rate core, which had been covered by nine obelisks. The violent equipment restrained by the monument is releasing traces of golden light outwards. The light flow seems to be restrained by some kind of force, and a huge complex equipment is gradually outlined in the nearby space.

Near the guide rail extending out of the math rate core, Cavinrel is holding a short staff in his hand, and above the short staff is fixed a large pale golden hexagonal prism crystal.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the equipment construction has begun. What is being manufactured now is an anti-gravity engine."

"It feels a bit strange...??" Sitting on the bed that was almost never used since it was designed, Weisrifan gently unbuttoned his trench coat-like uniform jacket, "According to... my current mental strength... I There shouldn’t be such an uncontrollable state... Could it be that this is soul exhaustion... So sleepy..."

In the blur of consciousness, Weisrifan relied on her last bit of reason and memory to mechanically lie down and almost instantly fell into deep sleep. Before completely losing consciousness, she used her last bit of strength to activate the state at hand. Monitoring facilities.

…

An extremely weak fluctuation appeared in her soul. Although the intensity of this fluctuation was so low that even conventional soul tunnel scans could not detect it, this fluctuation did indeed exist - it had just appeared.

The heartstrings that have been tense for a long time suddenly bounced, which made everyone begin to ignore some things. The deactivation of the rational thinking module means that the comprehensive and rational link will be missing, and the new environment may bring about Some unimaginable changes...

Deep in the planet, streams of light blue light that seemed to have substance began to flow slowly from the cracks in the rock formations and continued to converge into a huge entity. This spiritual-like existence deep in the ground soon became I felt this wave.

With its weird high-level blessing, even though it was separated by a layer of crystal energy armor, it only took a short time for this weird existence hidden deep in the ground to locate the exact location of Weisrifan. After several hours of silence, a huge consciousness began to resonate with this weak wave coming from the surface.

…

Why did you survive, why did you do this? The world fragments in the void are almost never able to maintain their own time and possibility under the erosion of the void.

But now, I am afraid that it is impossible for almost all eyes to see this - the top civilization has collapsed, and its endless existence attributes that have been accumulated for a long time, the towering "Void Tower" have now collapsed, forming a powerful whirlpool.

All life inside the vortex was swept away, but from that moment on, they may have another way to call this encounter...

"Selected."
