Chapter 291: Particles

"You've probably heard the barrel just now, there are only two people on this boat. The captain bowed his head slightly, "It's just you, and me, and you can guess from the silent communication window...... There were no other warships nearby. ”

"They...... Could it be ......," Eddie had guessed from the captain's demeanor.

"Yes, the internal substance that burst out of the sun struck us with an outrageous speed and even more outrageous accuracy, as we searched the surface of the earth with all our might;

It's so fast that we don't have time to react......"

Thinking back to that situation, the captain still had palpitations.

"A few minutes after the warning sounded, the extremely hot air currents swallowed the fleet in the blink of an eye;

Steel melts with a silent roar, gradually melting from solid to liquid, then vaporizing and finally cooling into countless inks floating in space;

Those people didn't even have time to scream...... Well, I guess I don't even have a painful time. ”

Eddie felt like he couldn't imagine it.

"In the past, the fleets used communication networks to talk to each other. The captain smiled wryly and opened a window, "Well, do you see that duck icon with a hat? That's the app we were talking about." ”

The captain opened the software, and a long list of gray avatars popped up.

"A lot of people here use their selfies as avatars, well, do you see this strong man with exaggerated eyebrows? He once wanted to cultivate a farm on a new earth, and show his children what it would be like to grow crops on the molten surface;

Look at this again, super positive girl, well, she dyed her silver hair, and it looks like she came out of the anime...... She plans to wait for the spaceship to land and arrange a concert to boost morale...... Well, the people associated with her are here. ”

Then, the captain clicked on another group:

"It's her support team, and only die-hard fans are eligible to join it...... Night Star and I are both members, after all, she sings really well. Ah, look at this one again. ”

On the window that opened again, there was a girl with fiery red hair, and her aura was much stronger than that of the girl just now.

"This is her biggest competitor, and both of them are training hard, even on the ship...... Well. ”

The captain quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then closed all the windows.

"But now, it's all gone.

The only thing that had time to dodge was the ship on the edge. ”

Add could feel that loneliness;

Even though they weren't so easy to see each other on other ships, they ......

The feeling of never meeting again...... Just imagining it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"The ship survived, but it didn't do well. The captain sighed again, "You know, when I got on board, it was only five years...... Do you think you, who were originally civilians, will be able to become a captain in five years?"

“...... I do not know. Eddie thought he couldn't, but when he saw the royal robe he was wearing, he changed the law, "But I know that I shouldn't be working in this direction." ”

"Yes, I just wanted to explore the future, so I signed up;" the captain's tone was rather helpless, "Actually, most of my knowledge of this ship was learned later...... But what can you learn in such a short period of time?"

"But now the ship is still in operation...... At least it looks like it's working. Add looked at Heathtim.

"Ah...... She and I were the luckiest two. The captain said, "You know the 'spokes' related to the killing weapons, right?

"I thought they were just the product of a simple interaction between nuclear radiations and magic...... "Add's brow furrowed, "but now, it seems like there are other reasons." ”

"It is true that the core of the extinguishing weapon has spokes, and the spokes will affect Rao's lifespan. The captain nodded, "However, the source of the magic is more outrageous...... This starts again with the planet that fell into the sun before. ”

"Something is wrong with that planet?"

"Quite wrong. "It may be some of the heavy metal elements that were ejected after a supernova explosion, and a considerable part of them are still released, and even if they are spokes, they carry an unknown kind of high-energy particle...... It's that kind of particle that changes a pull."

"Could it be...... Is that what 'magic' is called?" Eddie felt like he could do just that.

"That's right, since the planet arrived in the solar system, some of the material thrown out has stuck to the ball and affected the earth's crust...... The power that almost defies common sense comes from that kind of high-energy particles;

The planet, which was full of energetic particles, fell into the sun, causing it to erupt with a large amount of energetic particles...... In other words, even if you are lucky enough to escape and are not directly hit by the air current, you ......"

At this point, the captain sighed.

"The whole ship, all of them?" Eddie quickly guessed.

"That's right...... And they're all pretty strong kinds. The captain nodded, "The spokes on the extinguisher, which can give Maggie special abilities, are actually derived from those high-energy particles attached to the core......

At this point, you should be able to appreciate how strong that kind of radiation is. ”

“...... The extinguishing weapon is stored in the ship's warehouse?"

The captain nodded.

"In other words, everyone here has endured the same level of radiation ...... as the exterminator!" Eddie took a breath, "This, even if you don't die on the spot, you probably won't live long......!"

"At first, we didn't even know about the existence of those high-energy particles. The captain sighed again, "Until people start to show symptoms...... 'too late' is a little weird, because there is no cure at all." ”

“...... You and Nightstar, too?" Eddie didn't want to think about how miserable it would be.

"I'm glad I wasn't spoken. The captain shrugged his shoulders, "On both world lines." At that time, I was being examined in a closed inspection cabin, just in time to avoid the intrusion of high-energy particle flow;

And the night star ...... She was in charge of examining me, and the attack was mild, but she couldn't afford to keep it going. ”

"So ......?" Eddie looked at Heathtime, "What ...... happened?"

"Thank you to the people on the ship. The captain smiled wryly, "They...... Leaving the hope of life to the two of us. ”
