Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Void Devours the Whale
The dazzling flashes of light from the reactor explosion remained.
In order to prevent the Lingzi stream from emitting a strong light from causing damage to the operators, the people who flew to the scene of the accident were all equipped with fully enclosed protective suits, and all actions were completely commanded by people who were highly cultivated from a distance and were not afraid of the radiation of the Lingzi stream.
If it weren't for the fact that the technological plane couldn't use the divine sense to manipulate the puppet, they would generally use the puppet to do this kind of collection work, which was safe and efficient.
After this incident, the entire fleet stopped, intending to repair in place for a period of time, and uniformly investigate the safety hazards on all ships to avoid similar tragedies.
For this kind of accident, the Yunqin Empire has a very detailed post-processing process, as long as the process is followed, there will be basically no mistakes.
One of these is to check the accident spacecraft for dangerous items in case of greater danger.
Therefore, the first wave of people to arrive, the first thing to investigate, is dangerous goods, which naturally contains the special substance of the Void Ingot, and the method of detecting the Void Ingot is also very simple, the Yunqin Empire has a highly developed cultivation technology, so it is enough to scan it with the Spirit Son Imager.
"Report, report, in the tail of the spacecraft, a suspicious space collapse has been discovered, and this collapse is still further expanding, after preliminary judgment, this may be caused by a high-risk substance, please give instructions for the next action!"
Soon, a report was reported by front-line investigators.
"Immediately begin the Void Survey, inspect any possible sources of danger, and suspend all collections."
This captain was also clearly an experienced man, and immediately gave the most effective orders.
It didn't take long for the results of the Void Check to come out.
The captain of the fleet frowned and looked at the report of the void investigation, which clearly stated: a total of thirty-six void investigations, no suspicious items were found, and the space collapse at the tail of the accident spacecraft had also stopped, which seemed to be an accidental event.
The captain of the fleet sighed and said, "We don't have time, this is not in our Yunqin realm, we stay here for a long time, it is not good for the empire, continue to recover the wreckage of the spaceship!" Hurry up and complete the recovery of this ship within three days, and at the same time find out the cause of the accident for me! ”
So, the recovery operation for the broken spacecraft was launched again.
Seeing that the work was unfolding in an orderly manner, the captain was relieved, sat down in the command room, and poured himself a cup of coffee.
Suddenly, he felt the space around him seem to shake.
There was only a very slight shock, and the captain looked around in some disbelief, and then he urgently took out the jade gui in his hand, turned on the call button, and shouted into the passage: "Do you feel the vibration?" Just now! ”
"Nope."
"What shaking?"
"Everything is normal, sir!"
The captain of the fleet sat in his seat and wiped his sweat slightly, since everyone didn't feel it, it was probably because he was too nervous.
Just as he picked up his coffee and took a sip, there was a knock on his door.
"Enter!"
Said the captain of the fleet.
The door was pushed open, and in came his adjutant.
"Report, the captain of the wrecked ship has something to report to you!"
The captain's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, let that guy come in for me, I want to hear how he explains this matter." ”
After a while, a middle-aged man with a sluggish expression and a little panicked eyes walked into the captain's room.
"Wanwei, you explain to me what happened today!" The captain of the fleet said a little angrily, although it is said that the shipwreck is responsible for all aspects, and the reasons are very complicated, but as the captain of the ship, the person in front of him must be responsible.
The captain named Wanwei said with some hesitation: "Chief, sir, I, I don't know what's going on, the technical appraisal is still in progress......
The captain of the fleet snorted coldly and said, "Then what do you want to report to me now?" ”
Wan Wei said with trepidation: "I, I want to report what happened to me on that target planet before. ”
"Well, you mean that strange young man who sits on the roof and can't be attacked no matter how you fight?" The captain of the fleet only thought about it slightly, and remembered the briefing that had just been delivered.
Wan Wai said: "No, that's right, I, I remember him saying that the Yunqin Empire will regret it...... I wondered, did I meet someone who was not born? ”
The captain of the fleet touched his chin, groaned for a moment, and said: "Well, this matter is indeed a bit strange, it stands to reason that with the realm of the three of you, with a combined blow, no one in this remote realm should be able to resist it." ”
"So, sir, what do you think of this?"
The captain of the fleet sneered when he heard this, and said: "Wanwei, you still have seen too little of the world, and you only know how to cultivate, you don't know how powerful our Yunqin Empire is, no matter who this guy is, the threat he makes is not worth mentioning in front of the huge Yunqin Empire!" ”
"In this space-time sea, no one can threaten the Yunqin Empire at all, there will be no now, and there will be no in the future! You should have some understanding of our Yun Qin's system, under such a stable social system, what strength does the Time and Space Sea have, which is more qualified to dominate than our Yun Qin? ”
When Wan Wei heard these words, it seemed that his faith had been re-established.
He immediately stood upright, saluted his commander, and shouted, "I am willing to swear allegiance to Yun Qin!" ”
The captain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course, this kind of thing definitely needs to be reported upward, if this accident is really caused by someone, I think our Yunqin Empire will definitely not let this guy go easily!" ”
After speaking, the captain of the fleet began to manipulate the jade in his hand and write a report.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the space shake again.
This time, he felt it very clearly!
"Report, report, sir, we feel the space shake!"
"Yes, yes, I feel it too!"
In the captain's channel, a group of subordinates who had just been questioned by him began to respond.
The captain looked out the window, and he saw a scene he would never forget.
The sea of stars that originally appeared in front of him, I don't know when, has been torn open by a horizontal dark crack.
This crack is not straight, but some places are tortuous, some places are straight, and the twists and turns are not the same, some places are curved and sharp, and some places are smooth and warm.
This crack is like a terrifying mouth, and I don't know what terrible things are contained in it.
The captain of the fleet immediately picked up the microphone and shouted into it: "What about the technicians? Technician, identify what this is all about! ”
There was silence in the echo for about two or three seconds, and then the captain heard the panicked voices of the technicians and the sound of chairs being knocked over.
"It's the Void Devourer!"
In just five words, the captain's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Quick, all the Yunqin warships and the Void Devouring Whale will distance themselves, stay in a stable space area, and attack with long-range psionic cannons!" Don't go near the Void and unstable areas of space! ”
However, he had just finished this game, and after seeing the actual scene in front of him, he immediately regretted it.
I saw that in the field of vision where his window was, dark space cracks sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, dense, layered, and I could vaguely see something surging in this darkness.
"Run......
The captain of the fleet only had time to say this.
The outer wall of the ship was suddenly engulfed in a black that was so thick that it could not be dissolved!
Void Whale.
A strange creature standing at the top of the innate food chain of space-time on the technology side.
This creature was born in the Void and is a kind of quantum life, theoretically only the technological side civilization that has entered the Aodai can completely destroy the Void Devouring Whale, and other levels of attacks can only make them temporarily dissipate, unable to form a complete extermination.
The Void Devourer Whale roams the void, devouring the matter ejected from the black hole, as well as the matter that has fallen into the void for special reasons. They are far more sensitive to substances than sharks are to the smell of blood.
Under normal circumstances, the Void Whale Eater will not pose a threat to the life that lives in a stable space, because the Void Whale does not possess intelligence and cannot break through the barrier between the vacuum and the Void, and only when the space is broken and the matter in the vacuum falls into the Void, the Void Whale will be attracted.
There is usually no way for the Void Devourer Whale to come to the vacuum world through the space rift, because the space rift is often fleeting, and the cosmic laws on the technology side will make any form of space crack unable to be exposed to the spatial pressure in all directions for a long time, so the duration of the space rift is often not enough for the Void Devourer Whale to pass through.
However, spatial collapse is not the same as spatial cracks, spatial collapse is continuous, it is a state of slow spatial collapse, and for the Void Devouring Whale, spatial collapse is like a dark door to the world of food!
However, not every spatial collapse will attract the Void Whale, the formation process of quantum life is very complex, so the distribution density is very small, they often live near the black hole, feeding on the material ejected from the black hole, and there are few Void Whales away from the black hole.
Unless......
The black hole around them has naturally dissipated, and the Void Whales, who have lost their food source, will migrate together to the next supernova that is about to erupt, waiting for the black hole to take shape.
And this time, the fleet of the Yunqin Empire coincidentally collided with a group of migrating Void Devouring Whales.
Not only that, but the deputy captain who died on the accompanying accident ship also carried a Void Ingot, a substance that could directly collapse the spatial structure, directly opening a door to heaven to the Void Devourers!
However, this Void Ingot, which was the first to precipitate, had already been swallowed by a leading Void Devouring Whale, so the surveyors failed to find further spatial collapse, and did not judge the severity of the form in time.
The Void Devouring Whale that surged out of the void was like a fierce beast, although the warships of the Yunqin Empire were larger than them, and had a protective shield to defend against impact, but the quantum life of the Void Devouring Whale was a bug of the law at all, and their bodies could easily penetrate these defensive shields from the time and space on the Xiuzhen side, and directly cross the Yunqin warship with the quantum state of the time and space on the technology side.
And as their huge bodies pass through, the endless matter will be swallowed by the Void Devouring Whale, for this kind of quantum life, eating does not need to be eaten from the mouth like a real whale, they are not real whales, every quantum that makes up their bodies can become their mouths for devouring matter!
A dark cloud enveloped Yun Qin's fleet, and in the black tide, there was not much sound, and the universe on the technology side was silent.
However, under the ravages and slaughter of this group of black shadows, a bloody and silent feast is unfolding.
