Chapter 196: The Last Star
About fifteen minutes later, the robotic arm connecting the hull was released, the tail thruster of the Morningstar ignited, and the battleship slowly sailed away from Hato Harbor.
In the ancillary function cabin above the bridge, before starting the "Zero Prime Particle Space Effect Field Generator", Tang Fang turned his head to look at Marion and the others waving goodbye on the dock trestle outside the porthole, and whispered: "Take care, look forward to the day when we meet again." ”
Half a minute later, a cyan blue energy field spread outward from the location of the "generator", enveloping the entire battleship in the blink of an eye.
A large number of high-energy zero-element particles collided, causing space-time oscillations, and a black wormhole with a trace of thunder gradually took shape in the bow of the ship. Approximately 5 minutes later, the Morningstar left a distorted afterimage in the void as a flash of brilliance passed by, and disappeared into the entrance of the wormhole in an instant.
It wasn't until the wormhole closed and the streamer faded that Marion and the others on the pier trestle recovered from their shock.
"This kid always surprises people!" I don't know who muttered something in a whisper.
……
The heavens and the earth were dark, and the star Megar, twice the size of the Sun, cast a faint light on the churning clouds. Looking down, the young star, which should be dazzling, is only reflected in the clouds in an extremely hazy dark red.
In the dark space beneath the clouds, a dark blue barrier stretched for thousands of miles, stretching across this shimmering world.
Outside the barrier was an endless chaos, raging winds circling back and forth at a speed of more than 2,000 kilometers per hour, and a huge hurricane churned the heavens and the earth, like the wind roaring hell, full of rage and destruction.
In such an environment, let alone people, even if it is a stubborn rock, once it is caught in the wheal. The powerful impact will crush it to powder in an instant.
High pressure, strong winds, chaos, cold, this is a dead place, lifeless. There is no water, only helium, hydrogen, and a few gases such as sulfide, methane, acetylene, etc.
However, in this space like a post-apocalyptic hell, the blue barrier blocks out the raging winds and endless chaos. There was silence within the barrier, and the faint blue fluorescence flashed like sparkling water, dotted with stars, like a quiet, brilliant starry night sky.
On top of this desert oasis, a majestic giant structure rises above the void like a palace of gods. It was a ring with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, similar to the rudder structure of a ship. The silver-gray outer wall outlines a series of glowing energy troughs, these energy troughs are connected into a line, looking from a distance, just like the carving of ancestral relics, simple and vicissitudes, but also full of the beauty of lines.
It was supposed to be a haven of tranquility in a sea of storms, an oasis of wonder in the middle of a vast desert. However, at this moment. The flat space in the center of the rudder building was distorted, and wisps of thunder filled the tide. Immediately afterward, a bit of pitch darkness rapidly expanded, turning into a space-time wormhole several meters wide in the blink of an eye.
As the blue of the rudder building's energy gauge swirled, the wormhole grew larger and larger, and finally, a trail of sparkling trailing a long afterimage streaked by. In an instant, there was a space battleship more than 200 meters long in the cold and gloomy void.
……
The dazzling warning light faded, Tang Fang let out a long breath of turbidity, and the little liver that had jumped to his throat was finally put back into his stomach. The star map copied from the Ipsilon shuttle is somewhat off, and the repeater is long since it is not in place, if it were not for the navigation beacon guidance of the subspace quantum slipstream. Coupled with his delicate operation, I am afraid that the "Morning Star" has lost its way and is swallowed up by the collapse of time and space.
As soon as he sat back in his seat, he gasped for breath, the scene he had just experienced made him tense to the extreme, and then he relaxed, as if he had collapsed, his muscles trembled, his whole body was weak, and the cold sweat had soaked his entire back.
"Whirl......hu" The heavy wheezing sound echoed in the auxiliary function cabin, and it took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, barely move his trembling arms, and slowly straighten up.
It's just a little bit, as long as one negligence, it is the end of the ship's destruction and death.
Raise your eyes and sweep over the psionic flames. “FUCK!” He couldn't help but burst out with a rough sentence. What is this called, the coordinates of the repeater provided by the star map can be deviated? This can't help but remind him of the previous car GPS navigator, the star map system on the emotional shuttle is the same thing as it, if you don't update the number for a long time, just drive on the road, and you don't negotiate.
However, the former is at most going the wrong way, or a traffic violation penalty and two dollars to pull it down, while the latter will take the life of the entire battleship.
It's just a matter of life!
When he was secretly slandering the Epsilon as unreliable, there was a "snort", and the hatch opened at the back, and Claire and a gloomy Aros walked in.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why sweaty profusely? When the girl saw that his face was pale as if he had been injured in some way, she could not help but ask worriedly.
Tang Fang was about to inform the two of them about the dangerous scene that happened in the subspace tunnel, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back. Forget it, now that they have successfully escaped, there is really no need to worry about them anymore.
"I'm fine, it's just that my mental energy is a little too much, and my body is a little tired."
"Oh, it's fine." Claire nodded, relieved.
Next, he shifted his gaze to Aros's face: "Aros, why do you have such an expression?" ”
"Huh? You really haven't noticed? Aros raised an eyebrow and replied.
"Notice what?" Before, all his attention had been on guiding the Morning Star, and he had no idea what Aros was referring to.
Claire stepped forward and clicked on the touchpad of the center console, and a partial star map of the Megal star system flashed on the projection device.
When Tang Fang saw the azimuth coordinates of the "Morning Star" and the planet marked with the word "Finality" behind it, his eyes suddenly widened: "Final...... The end? Are we on the final planet? ”
Claire smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's the Ultimate Star, and we are right now in the central eye of the Great Black Spotted Storm Ring on its surface. ”
Tang Fang glanced in the direction of the star map again, with an innocent expression: "This ...... It really doesn't matter to me. ”
Tang Yan, the original owner of this body, has lived here for 18 years, and his understanding of the Megal star system is far above that of Claire and Aros.
In addition to the central "Megare" star, there are 10 large and small planets in the whole system, of which the fourth planet Bruno and the fifth planet Ryctor are habitable planets. The other 8 contain 1 resource planet, 3 barren planets, and 4 gas planets.
Today, the planet on which Morningstar is located is codenamed "Termination" is a gaseous planet. It is on the edge of the "Megar" star system, ranking eighth out of 10 planets.
There is no doubt that "Finality" is an ice giant, due to the complex chemical composition of its atmosphere, the surface clouds of the planet will reflect a circle of strange black-brown light under the illumination of "Meijia", if you add a large number of "black spots" on the surface that have lasted for a long time, it looks like an entrance to hell from a distance. Therefore, people have given it a very figurative title "End", which means the place of the end.
From Tang Yan's memory, it is known that there is a huge cloud cyclone in the northern hemisphere of the final star near the equator, that is, the "Great Black Spot." No one knows the age of the formation of the "Great Black Spot", since humans set foot in the "Megaer" star system, the "Great Black Spot" of the final star has always existed, and it has neither increased nor decreased in the past 200 years, and even its position has not changed.
When you look at it for the first time, you may be shocked, sigh, and even indulge in its mysteries, but after a long time, it will make people tired, irritable, and produce aesthetic fatigue.
To paraphrase the words of some soldiers, it is like a small and graceful appearance, eternal youth, but too lazy to die, will always only have one position, no interest in the country women, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it.
At this moment, the Morning Star was sitting in the hole in the middle of it.
Surrounded by a furious hurricane far faster than sonic speeds, thunderclouds converged and shone in the sky above, and the bottomless abyss of chaos below. As its name suggests, it's a land of ends.
Stretching out his finger and pressing a key, the external armor on the outside of the function compartment was slowly retracted, and he looked out through the porthole. From time to time, a little star light flashed on the surrounding protective barrier, and the rudder-shaped Ipsisaurus ruins that were hundreds of kilometers long behind them hung in the air, and the ghostly light on the carved lines flowed, looking from a distance, like a giant handicraft with exquisite shapes, magnificent and magnificent, but also mysterious and demonic.
Although the three of them had been mentally prepared, after seeing the scene outside the window with their own eyes, they still inevitably fell into a trance, and they were speechless for a long time.
"This ...... This...... It's huge. Claire stumbled and said, although the discovery of the ruins of the Epsilon in various countries happened from time to time, and it was not a peerless thing, but it was the first time she had seen such a huge Epsilon dragon creation as she was now.
As for Tang Fang and Aros, they were much calmer, after all, when they were on Na'i Star, they had seen the zero source element isotope refinery with equipment all over the earth's crust and the planet's core as the energy base.
"Let's go, go to the bridge." After speaking, he greeted the two of them, and Tang Fang walked outside first. I believe that Grant, Nehemiah and others have also seen what to do outside the porthole, and what to do next must be discussed.
The three of them walked out of the attached function cabin and took the elevator to the bridge, and as soon as they entered the door, they had a baby face, short eyebrows, and a beautiful voice. Percy shouted "Captain has arrived." ”
All the staff stood up to greet him, and Nehemiah and Grant in front of the big screen in the center also turned their heads to look at him.
"Relax, relax, don't be so strict." Nodding at Yuffie with a smile, Tang Fang walked to Grant's side, glanced up at the image sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft on the central screen, and said, "How is it?" Did you find anything? (To be continued......)
