311 Arrive at the Cosmic Sea
Shi Yuan successfully turned positive, Ling Qi not only celebrated heavily, but also used the jade wrench finger to help her accept the inheritance of the exercises, just so that she could use the next period of time to consolidate her foundation, and wait until she reached the Cosmic Sea to impact the meteor realm.
Then, I returned to a regular and fulfilling life day after day.
With Dong Ni to discuss together, Ling Qi's research on the matrix has advanced by leaps and bounds. Many times when it comes to stagnation, what is missing is actually a collision of ideas, and someone puts forward opinions from different angles, which can often bring inspiration.
In the process, Ling Qi unexpectedly learned that Dong Ni's father was Dong Zhongtian, the head of the branch. More than ten years ago, Dong Zhongtian personally led a team to explore the Cosmic Sea, and once found traces of the Zerg on one of the huge floating islands, and then successfully found the mother worm viscous crystal in a cave. However, before it could be developed, there was a tsunami in the area where the floating island was located, which was thrown millions of kilometers into space by huge waves, and then sank into the sea under the inertia of gravity and retreat. They managed to escape, and a small number of them were killed, and the rest of the explorers who landed were all killed.
"Not only the branch, but even in the entire stargate, the female worm sticky liquid crystal is also a shortage of materials. Because the amount is too large, the high-grade crystals are directly used to strengthen the matrix structure, and the medium- and low-level crystals are the catalysts for strengthening the hull material, and at least dozens of tons of crystals are needed to strengthen a super battleship! The quota allocated by headquarters was no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the branches, so the expedition was organized. Dong Ni said to Ling Qi.
After Ling Qi heard this, his heart felt heavy, it seemed that the danger of the Cosmic Sea was even more serious than he had imagined.
Dong Ni saw his solemn expression, so she comforted: "Normally, if the floating island is big enough, as long as it does not capsize in the process of throwing up and falling, it will not be dangerous to become like that, after all, even if it is sunk into the sea by inertia, there is a relatively long process, which often takes more than ten days, enough to do a lot of things." But once it capsizes, it is equivalent to sinking directly into the sea, and everything is difficult to do! ”
"I'm so scared that I want to drink a glass of Sprite in '82!" Ling Qi patted his heart and decided to be careful again.
"What is Sprite in '82?" Dong Ni looked curious.
Ling Qi flickered casually: "That's a powerful tranquilizer in my hometown, take a drink, Taishan...... The color of the planet collapses in front of the eyes, and the beauty sits in the center of the bosom without chaos! ”
……
Half a year passed in a flash, and one day, the fleet collectively reduced the power output of the curvature engines, and the speed began to decrease. When the speed was out of the speed of light, a shadow came towards them, and then it was clear that they returned to their original cosmic dimension. The familiar scene of the stars makes people feel more intimate and reassured.
In the distance ahead, an irregular circular blue outline, and a wide area in the middle was dark, as if it was filled with the entire universe of giant beasts. That is the Cosmic Sea, which is still more than 100 billion kilometers away.
Far from the stars, lacking enough reflected light, the fleet is shrouded in the shadow of the cosmic sea, and the future is dark.
Guan Tong's voice came from the formation channel: "The team pauses and advances, circles the center of the universe sea at an angle of thirty degrees, and then spirals in, and the team of the monitoring system pays attention to the oblique observation of the universe sea and collects data." ”
The direction of the fleet changed, and it flew horizontally at the speed of light around the central angle of the cosmic sea in a 30-degree circle.
Because the front side belongs to the shadow area of the cosmic sea, there is not enough reflected light to observe the environment in the direction of progress, even if there is a starry sky monster coming towards them, they will not be able to detect it.
With their current position as the orbit of the cosmic sea, moving in a circle thirty degrees at any angle is the best oblique plane they can observe. Spiral cuts can also maintain a view of the direction of progress and grasp a wider range of spatial data.
Judging from the previously observed scenes, there is nothing unusual about the inclined plane. Of course, based on the speed of the stellar light in the background, what they had observed before was actually a few days ago. Even so, it's better than staying in a frontal blind spot or approaching vertically.
A little more than an hour later, the fleet broke away from the speed of light and appeared at a thirty-degree central angle from its original azimuth. At this time, if you look at the original direction of progress, you can observe the space scene between you and the Cosmic Sea.
After confirming that the inclined space ahead was still normal, the fleet began to spiral in, flying forward for a distance at an angle close to the cosmic sea, breaking away from the speed of light to re-observe, and then adjusting the angle to fly forward for a while. This kind of careful operation can avoid crashing headlong into unpredictable dangers.
A day later, except for a few spacecraft responsible for space monitoring scattered tens of millions of kilometers away for oblique synchronous monitoring, the main body of the fleet was close to the space sea 2 million kilometers away.
This distance is close relative to the cosmic sea, which is wider than the star system.
Under the action of the cosmic sea's own gravity and temperature difference, the waves are monstrous, and when a tsunami occurs, it often rolls up millions of kilometers high. In such an environment, no matter how large the floating islands are, they will face capsizing or disintegrating at any time, and they will not be able to live at all.
The fleet's anti-gravity energy matrix activates, counteracting the gravitational pull of the cosmic sea, and it flies horizontally within two million kilometers in search of any floating islands.
On the maintenance spaceship, Ling Qi glanced at the super radar imaging, and there were only the surrounding spaceships and warships on it. The sea surface under the stars is deep dark and does not reflect any radar waves.
"If suddenly a star-like giant starry sky beast emerges from the sea, it's not ...... , Dajili City! Ling Qi stopped this nonsensical thought. If such a big beast really came out, there would definitely be a disturbance in the gravitational field, and the spacecraft would naturally be able to give an early warning.
During the exploration phase, the fleet naturally could no longer move faster than the speed of light. In fact, they are moving extremely slowly, only twice as fast as a normal ship.
A day later, they found a floating island with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers undulating with the waves, and the undulation range reached tens of thousands of kilometers. Such a large floating island is close to a small habitable star, and from space it looks like a super-huge continental plate floating on the surface of the sea.
These continental-like floating islands do not sink into the center of the cosmic sea. Ignoring the seawater, all floating islands are asteroid belts in space, with gravitational attraction to each other. With their sinking and floating displacement, the gravitational field and temperature difference that change irregularly cause the movement of the seawater in the cosmic sea to be very strong, which in turn impacts all the floating islands and forces them out of the sea, aggravating the displacement. The seawater is bound by the adsorption force formed by the huge volume and the mutual gravity between the floating islands, forming a strange balance with itself as the medium.
At this time, neither the fleet itself nor the spacecraft responsible for inclined plane monitoring in the distance found a large enough wave movement, proving that at least for the time being, this sea area is relatively calm. The fleet began to land, flying 100,000 meters above the floating island, following the island's undulations under the effect of its gravity and the spacecraft's own anti-gravity energy matrix force field to maintain relative stability.
There are six spacecraft that are tens of kilometers apart, each stretching out six robotic arms, and an artificial sun with a diameter of more than ten meters is installed at the top, which is distributed around the spacecraft in the shape of plum blossoms. When the sun is lit, it is superimposed in the shape of plum blossoms to form a larger light source to illuminate the land below.
