Chapter 142: Ancient Ultra-Long-Range Star Gate
The headquarters system of the Abyss Legion is actually developing quite well, a fortress-level space station, a habitation station under construction, a base on the fourth planet, and many mining sites on other planets or asteroids in the galaxy, and the income is enough for self-sufficiency and surplus.
If there is no division, it is not without a future.
Fang Ning's fleet stopped in the Abyss Galaxy for a day, and it was not a day, but they were a little slower, and dozens of hours had passed by the time they reached the edge of the galaxy's gravitational well.
The wormhole of the abyssal galaxy is outside the range of the gravitational well, but it has not entered the Kuiper belt, in between, Fang Ning came to the vicinity of the wormhole according to the star map, and was attracted by a huge star gate dozens of kilometers away from the edge of the wormhole with energy overflow at first sight, and stood up in great surprise.
This is a real stargate, what surprised Fang Ning the most was that looking at the scale, this stargate was not inferior to the ultra-long-distance large stargate that connected the Beiluo Shimen to the Zuoyuan Galaxy, generally speaking, this is used to cross ultra-long-distance star fields, such as the super-large stargates of the Galactic Empire that directly cross one star region after another.
In other words, behind this stargate is an ultra-distant star field, estimated to be at least a few thousand light-years away.
It's just that this stargate is now in a damaged state, and the energy force field that makes up the stargate doesn't know whether it is disturbed or for some reason to be intermittent, resulting in the stargate being unable to maintain stability, and the entrance to the jump orbit in the center of the hyperspace channel is in a state of chaos, the hyperspace beacon is unstable, and the violent energy turns into a huge vortex, and from time to time there are thick blood-colored lightning explosions, which is obviously impossible for the spacecraft to pass through.
Fang Ning suddenly became interested, and specially contacted the spaceship that had been following behind:
"Can I take a look at this stargate?"
The other side responded:
"I'll have to ask the Legion Commander."
"Please, then!"
The energy around this super-large stargate was a little violent, but there were still several scientific research ships moored on the side, and from time to time they shot out cone-shaped beams like flashlights to scan the stargates.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no response later, Fang Ning summoned the 'core processor' of the intelligent robot scientist who was presiding over the construction of the base in the starting point galaxy, pointed to the stargate and asked:
"Can you fix it or pass through this gate?"
A glimmer of purple light flashed in the crystal pupils of the Epic Physicist's core processor, and strings of data streams slid through the pupils like a waterfall, and it took almost five minutes before it spoke:
"As a result of the analysis, there is a 7.12447047% probability of repairing the stargate, and a 65.2154045% probability of using the stargate temporarily!"
This accuracy.... It's speechless, but it's a feature of mechanical intelligence, and it's always been accurate to the N decimal places.
He rubbed his chin and turned back and forth on the bridge a few times, and said to Zhao Ke on the side:
"Shall we give it a try?"
Zhao Ke was not surprised by the existence of the Epic Wisdom Machine, they are now an official couple, except for the Universe in the palm of his hand and the Chosen of Light and the Origin Empire Inheritance, he did not hide anything from her, she knew the existence of this Epic Wisdom Machine.
"You can give it a try!"
She also voted in favor.
To explore in the universe is to be bold and careful, and if you don't have the courage to have an opportunity in front of you, then don't run around, and stay in a safe star field obediently.
The Abyss Legion is also studying the stargate established by this ancient unknown race, but unfortunately they don't have high-level scientists in their hands, and they have been studying for so long without any results, so they can only stare dryly.
It didn't take long for the Abyss Legion to respond, and the Legion Leader became the essence of the Abyss and agreed to their request, but if someone was always watching, and they were not allowed to have destructive research on the Star Gate, of course Fang Ning agreed.
Soon the Aurora broke away from the fleet and sailed towards the Star Gate, Fang Ning was also inside, the closer he got to the Star Gate, the more he felt the enormity of this Star Gate, its portal up to hundreds of kilometers high can accommodate the passage of the Titan Super Flagship, but it cannot be used by the mobile Star Fortress to pass through, that kind of super behemoth has its own super jump engine, which can generate a wormhole to accommodate the fortress to pass through.
The Aurora stopped a few kilometers away from the stargate, and the triangular squares on the surface rotated, one of the squares turned into a cannon muzzle, but what came out was a cone-shaped scanning beam of light, like the other research ships on the side.
Fang Ning didn't say anything to disturb the research of Zhiji's subordinates, but just stood in front of the bridge and looked directly at the huge stargate like a heavenly gate through the observation glass.
He tried to expand God's perspective, but he couldn't penetrate this stargate, and he didn't dare to use the contribution point of the universe in his palm to forcibly observe.
The Aurora came to a stop along the stargate, the core processor came to the bridge console, activated the Void Control Hub Computer, stretched out the mechanical arm, and the palm mechanical parts quickly changed into an interface and inserted into the hub computer interface, a huge virtual light curtain unfolded, and countless Fang Ning's data on it slid down like flowing water like reading a book from the sky.
He stood behind the intelligent mechanical scientist and held his head high for a long time, but he couldn't understand even the slightest bit, he felt like he was reading a book from heaven, and he didn't know what these countless data were expressing.
Speaking of which, the player has the least number of various professions among the stars, and other professional players can do it, only this scientist is too difficult, even if there is a bonus to the player by the rules of the game, but there is too much data involved, and the knowledge about science is not just expressed with one skill, unlike other professional skills that can be upgraded, scientists are different, as if they really need to be understood.
This is difficult for players, after all, the era in which reality is located is strictly only an interstellar civilization that has just stepped out of the galaxy, and to let current players understand the technology of the interstellar era, this is tantamount to reading a book from the sky.
And this scientific and technological knowledge is not what the player imagines can be used in reality, and the real government has tried to restore the scientific and technological knowledge in the game before, but it turns out that it cannot be used in reality.
No one has been able to figure out what the principle is now, and it has not changed the fact that the player is not qualified for the scientist profession, and no one has studied this until now, and the scientists under the player are basically recruiting NPCs in the game, and there are few player scientist professions.
While he was waiting for the Robotics scientists to analyze and study the Ancient Gate, a sudden communication disrupted his plans, and a messenger from the rebels sent him a rather euphemistic diplomatic message, saying that if they were not willing to get involved in the internal affairs of the Abyss Legion, they would leave the system within an hour.
There is a high probability that it is their internal strife, and the legion commander agrees, so they sing against the table and disagree, so they can only be unlucky with him.
Of course, Fang Ning wouldn't just leave, and replied directly:
"The commander of your legion has given me permission to study it for a while."
"That's his business, we don't agree."
"Then you're not afraid that I'll help him?"
"You ......"
No response.
Therefore, it is not so complicated and roundabout to solve this kind of thing, Fang Ning directly threatened, and asked if you were still strong.
If he really wants to go down, he doesn't mind helping the former legion leader.
It turns out that the other side is not iron, and there has been no response since then, so it should be a tacit acquiescence.
Next, the core processor continued to study this thing, and the research ship scanned around this ancient stargate twice, until the fifteenth hour later, he suddenly pulled his arm out of the socket of the central computer, and Fang Ning said:
"I need to restart the core control center of the stargate, there is a 45.884515% probability that there will be a strong energy impact, there is a 32.214574% probability that the stargate will be damaged, there is an 11.215458% probability that the stargate will be temporarily repaired, and there is a 11.542154% probability of unpredictable results, please leave the scientific research ship to avoid danger."
"The probability of a fix is so low?"
He was a little surprised.
"Because of the wrong repair method, the stability of the stargate is decreasing year by year, and it is expected that the stargate will self-destruct after 1,681 days, eleven hours, five minutes and six seconds."
Fang Ning: .....
Returning to the flagship, the Aurora flew to the front of the stargate, and a thick pillar of light shot into the huge chaotic vortex on the front of the stargate from one of the corners of the triangular spaceship, and a circle of invisible ripples different from chaotic energy slowly spread out around the landing point of the pillar of light.
"What are you doing? Stop now! ”
Several frigates rushed to Fang Ning's flagship and questioned.
Fang Ning glanced at the battleship's sign of the rebels, ignored it and continued to look ahead.
Soon another communication application appeared in front of him, and after connecting it, a young man appeared on the light curtain, and did not ask the teacher in a fierce manner, but asked in a flat tone:
"Did you activate this ancient stargate?"
Fang Ning nodded and said:
"I have a ninth-level physical scientist under me, he has a lot of research on physical force fields and hyperspace, he studied it yesterday and found a way to temporarily repair the stargate, this is not trying to start."
"That's it!"
The abyss, which became a essence, pondered for a moment and said:
"Anyway, the stargate is already open, if you don't mind, let's take a look at where it leads behind this stargate?"
Fang Ning smiled:
"Of course you can, this stargate is yours in the first place."
"Then I'll bring in a fleet."
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, I want to remind you that according to the research of my subordinates, this stargate is not only close to the edge of damage due to your improper maintenance and bug fixes, but the chance of successful opening is very low, so don't expect too much."
"That's no problem, we don't have senior scientists anyway, and it's a waste to keep it in our hands....."
"Buzz!"
A trembling sound that even a battleship could not isolate came from a distance, Fang Ning quickly looked in the direction of the stargate, and a monstrous pillar of light with a diameter of more than a hundred miles came out of the ancient stargate vortex, turning into a huge jump track, and the battleship's hyperspace engine automatically lit up, echoing the super-large stargate in front of him.
It's really fixed!
Looking at the abyss in the light curtain, which was also dumbfounded... What ** name, he pointed to the ancient star gate and said:
"It's a coincidence, it's already successful, you have to move quickly, otherwise your opponent will take the lead."
The opening of this super-large stargate caused such a big movement that could be detected in the galaxy, and the opponents who had become the abyss of refinement were coming.
At this time, a report from the core processor came, Fang Ning's face changed after a look, and he quickly said to the abyss that had not yet turned off the communication:
"Bad news, because the damage is so severe, the stargate is only temporarily opened, it only lasts for twelve hours, and it will be completely destroyed after twelve hours."
After speaking, he handed the report to Zhao Ke and continued:
"Do you want to explore and decide for yourself, anyway, I decided to go in and have a look, go first."
After saying that, he turned off the communication, and Zhao Ke on the side read the report with it, looked up and saw his passionate eyes and nodded:
"I've got your back."
He reached out and took her hand into his arms, and Xiao Yezi, who was wearing a childless suit, shouted and pulled his hat shyly, and the two childless ears hung down to cover his eyes, and after a while, the ears quietly separated, revealing a pair of curious big eyes.
Fang Ning saw her small movements, but ignored them, this little girl hadn't grown up yet, and she was down to business.
The fleet was reorganized, the Aurora returned to the team, led by another battlecruiser, the flagship centered, and lined up in a standard exploration formation to enter the stargate jump orbit.
Looking at the energy index on the light curtain, which was even more terrifying than when the stock market was stirring, Fang Ning sighed with some pity.
This kind of ultra-long-distance large stargate is not easy to build, ordinary civilizations can't build it, it's a pity to destroy it, if it can be preserved, and repaired, and the end point of the stargate is replaced with the North Falling Division, this galaxy will be valuable.
When the time comes, it will be directly connected to the Beiluo Division Gate thousands of light years away through this stargate, and this abyssal galaxy will be the second Zuoyuan galaxy, and the Abyss Legion, as the master of the galaxy, will immediately become the top legion among the stars.
If you are diligent and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the surrounding galaxies, even if you don't find a living planet, you can't become a lord.
After all, money is omnipotent, and there is no living planet to transform itself, anyway, there is money.
It's a pity that this ultra-long-distance stargate is so damaged that it is impossible to repair it, it's a pity.
It may be that the damage is too serious, and the temporary repair is not completely repaired, the energy fluctuations in the stargate are beating super exaggerated like heart rate, Fang Ning didn't dare to increase the energy output power so as not to damage the stargate, so he could only accelerate slowly.
It took more than ten minutes to complete the jump and start in advance, and it was much easier to dock with the hyperspace channel later.
This is a one-way stargate, and there is only one hyperspace channel in the entire stargate, unlike the ultra-long-distance stargate in the Beiluo Division, which is connected to dozens of hyperspace channels, and there is no room for choice, so it directly defaults.
As the tide of massive energy swelled and flooded the fleet, when the tide fell, Fang Ning's fleet was gone.
At the moment when he teleported away, the main stargate of the Beiluo Division, thousands of light-years away, suddenly rushed up with an energy tide millions of kilometers high, and the stargate, which had been stable, suddenly had a violent energy tidal reaction, and the scientists who maintained it reported to the supervisor after an emergency investigation:
"The detection of the incomplete ancient residual information in the stargate should be that the original builder of the stargate hid important coordinates in the stargate, and it was suddenly activated for unknown reasons."
