Chapter 444: Calling
It's been a full month since that attack, but the tension is still there in the colony of the Twin Rings. Since 20 days ago, the headquarters has issued an order to evacuate the double ring planet one after another, except for the remaining military personnel and necessary logistics personnel, all ordinary people in the colonial area, including scientists, will leave this place on a transport ship and go to the artificial space city near the direction of the wormhole for temporary rest.
The reason why such an order was issued was because of Gao Jian's suggestion, of course, it was inseparable from Tang Le's support. After the departure of ordinary personnel, the colony area became a large military camp, and all scientific research work came to a complete halt, including the original plan to launch a voyage to Galen's planet with the double-ringed planet as a logistics point.
Today was the time for the second group of personnel to evacuate, and Gao Jian stood on the top floor of the central building of the colonial area, looking out at the transport ship and the long line in the distance. With the population of the colonial area, plus the evacuation of some important equipment, the entire evacuation will last for more than two months. Truth be told, such an evacuation would mean that the efforts made in the previous ten years or so had been abandoned, and with the Great Evacuation proceeding, the colony of the Twin Rings had effectively lost its original purpose of existence, and in the future it would remain only as a military forward base.
Such losses are enormous, but in Gao Jian's view, they are also necessary. What happened before is not really over, the strength shown by the person in the battle that day is so shocking that even the cruise fleet lost an advanced warship in the battle, as for the final result, Gao Jian still can't be sure, because neither he nor Tang Di, who commanded the fleet, can guarantee that that person will be killed.
Turning the clock back to the silence of the day, the cruising fleet immediately reacted as the No. 172 battleship disintegrated at high altitude and then fell to the ground. Battleship No. 173 took over from Battleship No. 172 and completed the target lock in just a few minutes, and then under the guidance of Battleship No. 173 and the tripartite synchronization of the fleet and the ground intelligence brain system, the entire cruise fleet attacked the target again, and this attack was unmatched by the first attack in terms of strength and intensity.
When the attack began, the man was still speeding through the desert at breakneck speed. When the fierce attack arrived, a dazzling ball of light instantly turned into a dazzling ball of light in the area centered on the target in the desert, which lasted for nearly ten seconds or so, and then an overwhelming sandstorm formed in the central area, straight into the sky and turned into a huge mushroom cloud.
As a result of the attack, more than 500 square kilometers of the target area were covered in a cloud of sand and dust, which also expanded under the influence of the storm, extending as far as a radius of more than 1,600 kilometers.
The sun was obscured, the blue sky turned black, and it was no longer visible in the desert where the sky was and where the ground was. This state of affairs lasted for three whole days. If it were not for the measures taken by the colonial area to gradually return the dust climate to normal, it is estimated that it would take at least half a month for the formation and natural disappearance of sand and dust.
After the attack is completed, whether it is the cruising fleet or the Colonial District Command on the ground, the intelligent brain system has been searching for the life form in the center of the attack to ensure that the other party is eliminated. However, after three days of searching, the scale of the dust gradually decreased, and no signs of life were found.
This result seems to be good news, but Gao Jian's heart is still uneasy. He feared that the man was still alive, but it was impossible for him to survive. The strength of the second attack is dozens of times stronger than the first. Judging from the situation of the man after the first attack, it was impossible for him to resist such a strong attack. But in the search after the fact, I didn't find any signs of this person's wreckage, in fact, this is also very normal, you must know that under this level of attack, let alone the wreckage of the flesh, even the alloy building is destroyed.
Theoretically. This result proves that the man has been eliminated. But there is no evidence that the wreckage can confirm the real elimination of this person, this is an unanswerable answer, from Gao Jian's heart, of course he thinks about the former, but he can't avoid the possible factors of the latter. To this end, Gao Jian asked the colonial area to send unmanned shuttles and combat teams to conduct a careful search of the strike site. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but because the area of the attack is too destructive, the progress of the search can only be said to be average.
However, since the search began, the man has not appeared again for several days, although no remains can be found that can represent the person, but this result has made Gao Jian feel a little relieved. It seems that this person has indeed been eliminated, but at the same time, there is a question that swells up in Gao Jian's heart, that is, why did this person keep running in that direction, and he didn't give up until the last moment, is he looking for a way to escape the danger? Or maybe there are other reasons.
To this end, Gao Jian asked the search team to divide a part, and the remaining part continued to search in the target area, and the separated part began to start from the target area and continue to search in the direction that the person had been running. After adjusting the search method, Gao Jian received the news in the afternoon of the next day, the search team found a space hidden in the desert underground about 60 kilometers away from the center of the target, this space is very strange, the volume of the space is not large, the whole space is round, the diameter is only 3.2 meters, located in the depth of just over one meter under the desert sand layer.
No one knew what it was, let alone what material it was made of, and when it was discovered, the outside of the space had cracked, and the inside was empty, looking like a white eggshell buried in the sand. Although many parts of its shell were shattered by the oscillations of the attack, the entire interior of the space remained intact due to the protection and structure of the sand. When he discovered this space, Gao Jian's heart was suddenly shocked, and he went to the local area to take a look, and he was accompanied by several professional material scholars.
The exterior of this eggshell-like space is very smooth, and the surface of the interior has a dense and small honeycomb structure, and there is nothing else, neither can see its entrances and exits, nor can I understand what it is used for, and even what its material is, several professional material experts cannot draw accurate conclusions after sampling and analysis.
Judging by the data analyzed. The material of the eggshell is extremely special, it has three characteristics, both the characteristics of alloys, the characteristics of silicon products, and even the surprise that it also has the characteristics of living organisms, such materials have never been found in man-made or nature. And experts don't know exactly how it's made.
At the same time, in its internal space, the instrument also discovered a phenomenon that is almost impossible to exist. When this result was handed over to Gao Jian, he couldn't even believe his eyes, and it wasn't until he repeatedly verified that he was sure that the experts were not mistaken.
In its inner space, experts have actually discovered the existence of cosmic particles, which is a very strange and unlikely phenomenon. Although cosmic particles are found almost everywhere in the entire universe. But the existence of these particles is basically in space, and on the planet, due to the protection of the planet's atmosphere and changes in the environment, these cosmic particles have become extremely small, or even faintly difficult to detect.
Now, according to monitoring, there are very clear signs of the existence of cosmic particles in the interior of that space, and these cosmic particles are very active. Those traces can prove that its internal space, and the existence and activity of cosmic particles are almost the same as those in cosmic space. It's incredible, and theoretically unlikely. Because you must know that even if a spaceship returns to the ground after containing the vacuum in the universe, according to the particularity of cosmic particles and environmental changes, they will soon disappear and evolve, and this will never happen.
So what exactly is the reason for this? The experts are also unable to make inferences, but they are all convinced that the same environment as the universe must have existed in this inner space, and that only this situation can lead to such a phenomenon. There is no other explanation.
The discovery of the eggshell, and the strange results of the detection of its inner space, made Gao Jian worried. Originally, he thought that the man had been eliminated, but now the situation made him uncertain. A straight-line distance of 60 kilometers is a long distance for ordinary people. But for that man, it only took a short time at his speed. Who can guarantee that when the attack unfolds, the man will put up a desperate resistance and win the last chance to escape? Maybe this eggshell was a tool for him to escape, but what the truth was, Gao Jian couldn't be sure.
The progress of the search is not optimistic, and the appearance of that person is even more variable. What's more, just one person turned the entire colonial area upside down, and even the cruising fleet lost a powerful warship. In this case, once that person returns, and even more people appear, it will be a great crisis for the entire colonial area, including those in the colonial area. In order to ensure the safety of personnel, Gao Jian took the initiative to make a detailed report to the headquarters, and finally with the support of Tang Le, his proposal was approved, which led to the current result of the evacuation.
"Mr. Gao, the spacecraft sent by the headquarters has arrived, and the space shuttle arrived in port ten minutes ago."
Just as Gao Jianshen frowned and looked out the window, thinking about these chaotic doubts in his heart, an officer knocked on the door and walked in and reminded him.
Gao Jian will leave the double ring planet with the transport fleet this time, due to the incident on the double ring planet, Gao Jian, as the party and the person who suggested it, must rush back to the headquarters as soon as possible to report on his work, and there is also a plan to explore the Galen planet because of this event, he must be present in person.
This officer was sent by the headquarters to pick him up, and Gao Jian could have left with the first batch of evacuees a long time ago, but at his request, the return date was delayed. This time, he had to board the space shuttle that picked him up as arranged by headquarters, and then go to the spacecraft that stayed in low-earth orbit.
Turning around, Gao Jian nodded slightly, his luggage had already been prepared, and it was sent over first, the time was almost up, now was the time for him to leave here, Gao Jian glanced around the room again, walked out of the door silently, and then accompanied by the officer, he went to the space shuttle docked not far away.
Not long after, a white space shuttle soared into the sky, and in an instant the buildings on the ground became smaller and smaller, and soon it was impossible to see clearly, and the sky also changed from white to blue, and then the blue became deeper and deeper, and when the space shuttle successfully passed through the thick ionosphere, a brilliant starry sky appeared in front of them, and in this brilliant starry sky, in front of them, a fleet of no small size was quietly staying in the universe.
Just when Gao Jian left the double-ring planet and went to the headquarters, on the other side of the Andromeda galaxy, in the depths of the Milky Way, the New Pioneer spaceship was still flying lonely in the vast universe.
Su Yichen and the others are still continuing their journey, but they are not too far from the goal they are going to. Now, the Red Dark Nebula is in front of them, and after many verifications, it has been determined that the coordinates are still 100 light-years away.
100 light years may seem like a long time, but it is already the last distance when calculated from the distance of their entire journey. But this is also the most dangerous distance, because by this time they have already begun to contact the edge of the red and dark nebula.
The entire Red Dark Nebula is very large in diameter, nearly 100 light-years if you add its marginal area, and this size is still growing with the change of the particularity of the Red Dark Nebula. Looking forward from space, the huge red dark nebula gradually revealed its figure, it was like an eye that opened in the depths of the universe, with deep red eyeballs and pitch-black eye frames, looking at everything in the universe with an indescribable gaze.
As we get closer to the red-dark nebula, the situation in the universe becomes more and more complicated, and the space is full of large and small star fragments and dust, as well as countless meteorites and asteroid belts. All of this made it extremely difficult for the Pioneer spacecraft to sail, and for safety reasons, their curvature speed had been reduced to a minimum, and if necessary, they could even get out of the curvature and move forward from conventional flight.
In this case, neither Su Yichen nor Luo Yan dared to take it lightly, they not only had to control the route of the spaceship, but also had to guard against any sudden changes in the situation. At the same time, Su Yichen also felt a situation that made him a little excited but a little uneasy, that is, the hourglass composed of two small pyramids that he had been carrying with him, when they got closer to the red and dark nebula, the more different this hourglass became, although its shape and the star map displayed inside were still the same, but I don't know why whenever Su Yichen held it in his hand, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a voice calling in the depths of the red and dark nebula, calling .......
