Chapter 452: Landing on Mercury
The romantic space journey lasted less than two hours. Nangong Yulun hugged Ji Tianci behind her and quietly stopped talking, the elongated starlight was so beautiful and moving, as if she was in a dream, she enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of this moment, and did not want to wake up from the dream.
However, Drassus's speed had begun to slow down, and the sun ahead of them had taken over almost all of their vision. Then, a small black dot in the center of the field of vision began to grow larger, gradually blocking out the sunlight, and the back of Mercury appeared in their eyes.
Mercury's rotation is very slow, taking nearly two months to be able to rotate for one week, which means that Mercury's daylight lasts for a month and its night lasts for a month.
The two of them and one dragon landed in the very center of the Mercury Spirit Gathering Array, and the entire large array was camouflaged, so even if they looked down on this area from a high altitude, they would not find anything special.
Ji Tianci looked down at his feet, he knew that there were nearly 300,000 Youth League soldiers stationed under his feet, and the temperature there was more than 400 degrees, while the temperature in the eastern hemisphere where he was located was already as low as minus 153 degrees.
The word "Yan" on his forehead lit up, and Ji Tianci clearly saw that the Youth Alliance troops were all gathered at the foot of the huge starry sky tree, waiting for the star gate to open.
Somewhat different from the starry sky tree on Earth, the branches and foliage of this starry sky tree on Mercury are extraordinarily luxuriant, and they are all stretched out vigorously, like a giant umbrella to shade the Youth League soldiers, and also like a huge solar panel, constantly absorbing solar energy.
Ji Tianci observed for a long time before saying, "The star gate may be opened faster than we calculated, and the Qingmeng has buried the source stones brought by the starry sky tree at the root of the tree, presumably they know that something has happened to the earth, and at this time, they want to open the star gate earlier and return to the earth as soon as possible." ”
Nangong Yulun was shocked, "How can this be! Then I don't have to activate the Spirit Gathering Array immediately?"
"Don't worry, Fang Qi said that once the Spirit Gathering Array is activated, Mercury will quickly fall towards the sun, and it will be completely destroyed without waiting for it to hit the sun. The Sun's tidal gravity will tear it to pieces, and the Sun's heat will vaporize the debris, destroying Mercury in just three hours if it falls at the required initial speed. ”
Nangong Yulun pondered for a moment, "Are you going to enter the Star Gate? Then don't we have to let the Star Gate open and then destroy Mercury?"
Ji Tianci nodded, "I speculate that the star gate will open in less than two hours, let's wait for another ninety minutes, and then you activate the Spirit Gathering Array, and Drassus will take me again and throw me into the star gate." At that time, the stargate will open during the fall of Mercury, and even if the Youth League soldiers teleport to Mercury, they will be attracted by the sun's gravity and will not be alive, and even if they are given three hours, they will not teleport too many troops, and I will be able to enter the stargate. ”
"Well, I'll listen to you, and I'll activate the formation in ninety minutes. ”
After speaking, Nangong Yulun asked with hesitation: "Is there a way for you to come out again after entering the Star Gate?"
"I don't know ......"
"And what are you going to do when you go in?"
Ji Tianci still shook his head, "I don't know, but I feel the calling, and I have to go in." ”
"However, wouldn't we be able to solve the crisis by activating the Great Array and destroying Mercury now?
Ji Tianci sighed, "When Mercury falls, the Youth League will definitely flee here, and they still have Kunsuo, and they can still travel in space." Although the earth is protected by the blight virus, if the Youth League does not return to the earth to fight against humans, then we will not be able to hunt them down in space. All we have to do now is buy time, and humanity is still in crisis. But maybe I'll be able to find a solution to the crisis once I enter the stargate. ”
Nangong Yulun's heart was heavy when he heard this, and Drassus on the side turned into a human form at this time, and said in a slightly sad tone: "I know my aunt, I can persuade her to betray the Youth League." ”
"Your aunt?" asked Ji Tianci suspiciously.
"It's the Kunsuo you see. My family has been kept in captivity by the Youth League for a long time in the Heavenly Realm, and we don't have names, the Youth League just calls us by our code names. Our wildness was suppressed, but it didn't die, we just couldn't see hope, so we gave up on resisting.
After coming to Earth, I was reborn, treated as equals, and loved...... I see hope in humanity, although it is very slim, but I believe that with human wisdom it is absolutely possible to defeat the Youth League, and you do need more time now.
I was able to convince my aunt to defect from the League, but she would probably die. I don't ask for much, I just hope that if one day humans can reach the Heavenly Realm, please remember that the Void Orcs are your friends, treat your friends well, and rescue your friends. ”
"Definitely!"
It was Nangong Yulun who replied, her expression was excited, thinking that Ruo Kunsuo would no longer help the Youth League soldiers, and the nearly 300,000 Youth League soldiers would become "space orphans", the closest living planet to them was the earth, and they might not be able to reach the earth, even if they arrived, they would only be greeted by the anger of human beings, not to mention that there was a wilt virus on the earth that could kill the Qing people in an instant.
Ji Tianci hesitated in his heart, he thought of Kun Suo's fate, after all, Kun Suo is Drasus's relative, Drasus said easily at this time, but he must also be very uncomfortable in his heart. The Youth League must have used some cruel method to enslave Kun Suo, and if Kun Suo betrayed the Youth League, he would be retaliated, and perhaps, as Drasus said, Kun Suo would die.
Drassus has already made great contributions to the human race, and now he has to sacrifice his own people, Ji Tianci is a little unbearable in his heart.
But Nangong Yulun is very calm, she attaches more importance to interests, Drasus's actions can bring benefits to the human race, and the human race will definitely not forget the Void Beast Clan's efforts, if there is really a day when the human race becomes the overlord of the universe, it will naturally help the Void Beast Clan.
For Nangong Yulun, this is more like a transaction, a transaction of interests, or an investment by Drassus, investing in the human race, so as to save their entire race in the future.
……
For 90 minutes, the three of them had been discussing the specific details with Fang Qi remotely, and the scientists on the earth had also repeatedly conducted simulation experiments, and they even found A-level transcendent beings to conduct experiments, and then got a positive answer: if Mercury fell for more than an hour, even if the members of the Youth League flew out of the star gate, they could no longer get rid of the sun's gravity, and they could only die.
However, Drassus needs to launch Ji Tianci like a railcannon, and then change direction to escape the sun's gravity.
Ji Tianci asked Xiang Drassus with some worry: "Can you get rid of the sun's gravity later?"
"Although I haven't tried it, Prophet Fang Qi has studied me, and he said that if I become a floating ray, I may be able to break free from the gravitational pull of a black hole, and the gravitational pull of the sun is nothing. ”
"Can you resist the sun's heat? When the gate opens, Mercury will be closer to the sun. ”
Drassus smiled faintly, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear it, don't forget, on Earth, you call me the Red Dragon, and this name also means Fire Dragon." ”
"That's good. Ji Tianci turned his head to look at Nangong Yulun, "Let's start!"
