Chapter 1862: Upheaval Begins
Long and narrow black cracks appeared, like wounds that had been torn apart, sporadically appearing at different coordinate points in the Covenant's chaotic star field, the gravel belts in the wilderness starry sky, the artificially developed and constructed waterways, the interstellar jump points controlled by pirates, the mining stars secretly controlled by various countries, and the wild planets that were inaccessible to people, appearing randomly without any pattern or warning.

Some of these large and small spatial cracks have already been discovered, and some have gone unnoticed because they appear in inaccessible wilderness areas.
With the appearance of these spatial rifts, the spatial energy fluctuations around the area where they are located have intensified sharply, the magnetic field changes are also extremely drastic, and space distortion is the norm, and even spatial turbulence has occurred in many places.
The spatial rift discovered by the freelancer pirate group is one of them, and this pirate group did not evacuate quickly when they discovered the spatial rift, but made an extremely stupid decision.
"The energy fluctuations in the vicinity were so strong that the positioning system could not function properly. "The crew of the driving group expressed concern about the occurrence of abnormal failures.
"Self-inspection is being carried out, and no fault has been found for the time being. ”
"Captain, this is most likely a rift in space. The navigator exclaimed after repeated observations.
"What is a spatial rift?" asked a crew member for some unknown reason.
The captain didn't know how to answer this question for a while, but fortunately the navigator cleared the siege.
The navigator racked his brains and came up with the idea that "there will occasionally be spatial cracks in the vicinity of some unexplored interstellar jump points due to periodic spatial fluctuations." ”
"Does that mean we've found a wild interstellar jump?" someone suddenly asked excitedly.
"There might really be an interstellar jump spot around here!" the navigator was excited by the crew's hypothesis. "It's theoretically possible. ”
The only people in this pirate group who have received professional star aviation education and training are navigators, and the others are from the slums or junk planets of poor planets, and most of them have not even received basic education, and all their knowledge of space navigation comes from the star network, past sailing experience and hearsay.
The navigator's words got everyone excited, and the discovery of an interstellar jump point meant a huge benefit.
Even if just reporting a coordinate can give them a bounty that they don't have to worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime, if they can take it for themselves, it is not impossible for the pirate group to grow and become a hegemon from now on, and it makes people's blood boil and restless and excited just thinking about it.
"Long nose, I don't read much, don't lie to us!"
"Who lied to you, that's what the book says. The long-nosed navigator retorted unhappily at the crew's questioning.
Another crew member also chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember seeing it in a movie, the protagonist found an interstellar jump point because of a space rift, and then started a reselling business, established a business empire, and became a trade overlord......"
At that point, a shipload of pirates was all excited.
Just now, I was worried about discovering the spatial crack, but at this time, it has turned into a state of elation that is about to make a fortune.
The spacecraft approached the rift in space, attempting to release its detectors to detect their surroundings, and the high emotional stimulus motivated them to keep getting closer.
The danger posed by the spatial rift in the rocky belt was completely ignored, and what they didn't expect was that when the spacecraft approached, the spatial rift expanded abruptly, the spatial fluctuation distortion intensified, and a small space storm appeared without warning.
The space storm swallowed the spaceship in an instant, and the spaceship that was swallowed into the spatial turbulence disappeared from its place, and the rocky zone returned to calm, except for the deep black cracks that still existed, everything was no different from usual.
Such a scene does not just appear in one place, small space storms are almost accompanied by spatial rifts.
There are quite a few spaceships that have been torn apart and swallowed by space storms because of curiosity, boldness, or pure luck.
The Covenant Council and Guild immediately dispatched an investigation team to the area where the rift was known.
However, before these investigation teams arrived at the designated location, the number of spatial rifts was increasing dramatically, and the news of spatial energy distortion in various places was uninterrupted.
This information was initially unknowable and confidential to the vast majority of the Covenant.
Most of the citizens of the Star Alliance repeat their daily lives as usual, log on to the Star Network, brush up on the latest news of the war between the Star Alliance and the Zerg or the Weilan Empire, and then work and study, except for the planets that have fallen into the war zone, the citizens of the Star Alliance in most areas still only come from various official information released by various governments.
The Zerg came, the Zerg were repelled by the coalition forces, how many soldiers died heroically, how many battles were won.
In the general direction, all the countries of the Star Alliance are aware of the fact that they will try their best to convey the good news and stabilize people's hearts.
All in all, "The war is fierce, the crisis is imminent, but the overall situation is still under control, the victory belongs to the Star Alliance, peace cannot be broken, please believe that unity is the strength of the Zerg will always be defeated, history has repeatedly proved this." ”
Because of this, the news of the appearance of the space crack did not attract attention at the first time, and the news of the appearance of space storms everywhere in the Star Alliance was quickly drowned in the torrent of information on the star network, and everyone forgot about it after reading it.
Even for the very few well-informed and smelly people, even if they feel that something is wrong in their hearts, it is difficult for them to realize from these small sudden changes that this may be enough to change the tide of the battle and bring a huge crisis to the Covenant.
With the passage of time, when the number of spatial rifts continues to increase, the number of space storms continues to increase, and the anomalous changes in the entire value finally attract the attention of the Star Alliance Council, there is not much time left for the Star Alliance to react.
From the discovery of the first spatial rift, to the small space storm raging everywhere, until finally realizing the crisis, the whole process continued to ferment for dozens of days.
Every area known to have space rifts and space storms has been monitored and cordoned off by the nearest army, and even in the chaotic star field, the major forces have reached an agreement in the face of the crisis.
The chaotic star field is the region with the most spatial rifts known to be found, and most of the other spatial rifts are distributed in the star regions that are relatively close to the chaotic star field.
These large-scale and frequent spatial rifts in a short period of time have exacerbated the already tense situation of the Covenant.
A space crack warning ring in the chaotic star field.
Four spatial rifts have appeared within three light-years of an unexplored planet, the highest number of spatial rifts in a small area known.
The Covenant Council and the Explorers Guild have all sent fleets, and the forces near the Chaos Star Domain have also sent fleets.
Dozens of ships patrolled the area.
"It's been five days, and apart from a small space storm every day, there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, so we're just stupidly waiting?"
The garrison fleet has a daily morning meeting, and the patience of the fleet in the Chaos Star Domain is running out, and these outlaws are much more disciplined and bold than the regular troops.
"Until the detection team has determined why these spatial rifts are caused and whether they are related to the Zerg, it is best not to act rashly. ”
"When will your space 'masters' come to fruition?"
The word "master" is extremely ironic.
The Covenant has sent a team of astronomers, physicists, and space supernaturals to investigate the appearance of space rifts, but so far there is no scientific theory to explain the sudden appearance of these space rifts.
"Maybe it's the Zerg's new plan?"
"I agree, maybe these cracks are the result of wormhole generation failures. ”
"No, it can't be, this doesn't match the results of previous research on wormholes...... one of the experts was interrupted.
"Don't joke, when have we figured out the mechanism of wormholes, and if there is really progress in research, we will not let these wars of aggression be repeated again and again. ”
If it weren't for the special agreement of the special period, the council representatives would have unceremoniously dispatched the knights of the Knights' Hall to make these wanted criminals in the chaotic star field pay the price for their insults immediately.
There are constant frictions between these fleets, large and small, and there are always quarrels in the daily meetings, but the actual progress is very small.
When everyone thought that today would be no exception, the reconnaissance plane in the cordon suddenly sounded an alarm signal.
"What's going on?"
"Energy numbers are soaring. ”
"Space energy fluctuations are intensifying. ”
The data displayed on the light screen kept pulsing, and it took less than two minutes to go from the original green value to yellow to orange.
The fleet quickly retreated, and unmanned detectors became the main force of surveillance.
"Is there going to be a massive space storm?"
Perhaps, this possibility is not ruled out. ”
Such ambiguous answers did not reassure the soldiers of the various fleets, but there seemed to be nothing else to do but wait and see.
To their surprise, this time it was not just a space storm that appeared.
It only took a dozen seconds from the time the alarm sounded to the beginning of the anomaly, leaving no time for the investigation team to react.
They saw the wonders of space that they had never seen before in their lives, and they were shocked and terrifying.
"The stars are above, what is that?" such exclamations appeared in various parts of the Star Covenant.
At the same time, Starnet immediately carried out a live tracking report, and many citizens uploaded the footage they recorded when they witnessed the spectacle.
Whether the planet is in the day or night, the gray-white circle of light piercing the sky is equally dazzling.
With the expansion of this aperture, many planets close to the chaotic star field experienced earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters at the same time, and it is difficult to say that all of this is a coincidence.
"There is a large area of uncertain space anomalies near the public star field, and giant rings have been observed over multiple planets...... Natural disasters continue, is it a coincidence or a new round of attacks by the Zerg......"
"The anomalous circle of light appears over multiple planets, and it is not possible to determine whether it is related to the Zerg for the time being......"
"Is it a natural wonder, an astronomical spectacle, or an unknown crisis......"
"The Covenant Council issues security alert ......."
Reports of all kinds are endless, because the mutation covers such a wide range that it is impossible to cover the eyes of all witnesses, cover their ears, and cover their mouths, even if parliaments and governments are willing to control them.
It soon dawned on them that even if they tried to do so, there was no point, that the mutation had come too quickly, and that everything in the Covenant had changed dramatically overnight.
If they had thought that the war of aggression that the Zerg would come back every few hundred years was the biggest shadow haunting the Covenant, then they really realized that that shadow was nothing compared to the current crisis.
The moment the annular aperture appeared, the spatial rift also expanded, and the sky was torn apart by a huge hole.
Space distortions complicate the space environment around the rift.
Dozens of days of investigation without results were already very frustrating, and the upheaval in this overnight period caught the management of the Star Alliance by surprise.
At first, it was just a gray-white circle of light, and then it was a deep black, and the whole sky seemed to be torn apart.
In the Chaos Star Field, such changes are even more pronounced.
All battleship spaceships and even the positioning systems of various planet bases have varying degrees of failure, and the value of the locator rotates wildly, even if the spacecraft does not move in place, the coordinates are still beating wildly.
Before they could recover from all this upheaval, the space reconnaissance stations in several areas of the Chaos Star Field uploaded incredible real-time reconnaissance feedback.
"What is this?"
"It's impossible, are you sure it's not a data failure?"
......
Black, endless black, at this time Mo Ye could not see anything, and his eyes fell into a complete darkness, and time seemed to stand still.
The realm expanded to the limit, the core of the spiritual power rotated wildly, and the operation of the domain was almost out of his control, almost squeezing out the last trace of spiritual power.
Mo Ye was dizzy, and pictures flashed in his mind.
She also has Sean and Cole in the control platform.
In the center of the star-gray black nebula, the console of the Insect Domain Spatial Barrier, all the star keys are placed in the light cluster and the streamer flashes.
After the star key fragments were closed, they were completely out of the control of Mo Ye, and a strong traction caused these star keys to return to their positions automatically.
The star key rotated, spilling out a thread of light to form a series of light and shadows, which gathered together to form a complete star map in the sky above the console.
A scaled down holographic star map hovers over the console, and this star map is the switch, which requires the Space Sage to activate the switch.
Sean declares that with Cole's presence, the role of Ink Night is not absolute, and no one can prevent the spatial passage from opening.
