While the officers of the Blue Lion Fleet and the Phantom Fleet were racking their brains for their lives and future, Tang Fang, Walton, and Aros had already piloted the Nightmare into the sinkhole. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is true that he has a strong interest in Jörmungård and a deep hatred, but compared to the people in the angel number, Jörmungård can only be ranked secondary. And according to the ghost he stationed on the bridge of the Angel and the information from Abasser, it seems that there are other lifeforms in this huge ruin, and it is not only Jörmungandr.

In order to avoid worrying Aros and Walton, he did not tell them about the situation.

There is an old saying in Huaxia that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore. Can an existence like Jörmungård tolerate something weird in his home? Just when he was puzzled, the second piece of information sent by Abbathhar made him no longer have the heart to complain, because the situation of the Angel was not good, the two prophet ships were imprisoned by the gravitational field, and they couldn't even break free from the shackles of the spatial torrent, and then lost their ability to act.

Now he finally knew the purpose of Jörmungård's angel number into the sinkhole, and the ruins were like a pitcher plant's insect trap, and any living creature that fell into it would be imprisoned by the gravitational field, lose its freedom, and eventually become food for the creatures hidden in the ruins.

He naively believed that the lifeforms in the ruins came from Jörmungård, and might be the descendants of this starry sky beast, because the shadow that the Medic saw on the large screen on Bridge 1 really looked like a miniature version of Jörmungård.

Space, sky, sinkhole...... Battlefield three points. In the face of such a complicated situation, he really had a headache, and for the first time, he felt that the problem was very tricky, even if he was as powerful as him, and Emma was in charge of the overall situation, he was still a little unbearable.

The hive structure at the edge of the sinkhole spilled a light that illuminated the area around the "coastline", but not the main body of the tunnel in the center, so the Nightmare was shrouded in darkness throughout, with no light in sight except for the searchlight under the bow, only the unknown and cold enough to swallow everything.

It was quiet outside, no color could be seen except darkness, no sound could be heard except breathing, and the terrifying quiet aura seemed to freeze everything, including the expressions on the faces of Tang Fang, Walton, and Aros.

The dull atmosphere eroded the bridge like a rising tide, removing the various curves of the virtual scene mapping array, and all the dynamic elements were suppressed, even the blood flowing in the body.

Walton opened his mouth and pondered for a long time, but after all, he didn't say anything that was blocked in his throat.

The veteran had a cigar in his hand, and he kept it between the beginning and the end, just ...... At this moment, how Walton wished he hadn't just caught it, but set it on fire, letting the ashes fall and the smoke and dust up.

At this moment, Tang Fang made a move, which made the faces of the two change greatly.

He awakened the dormant process of the battleship...... In other words, he turned off all the ship's subsystems, including the piloting system, power system, sensing system, and shield system, and turned the Epsilon into a piece of iron, free-falling under the influence of the planet's gravity.

The virtual scene mapping array faded, and the large projector next to it also lost its luster, and the only light source was the psionic flame that was sealed in the crystal, radiating a light like water waves, gently hitting the side faces of the three people.

"Tang Fang, do you know what you're doing?" Walton shouted excitedly, and it was hard to understand why Tang Fang did this. Falling from a height of thousands of kilometers, even a relic battleship like the Nightmare could not be unscathed.

Although the veteran did not speak, the depths of his eyes also flashed with doubt.

Tang Fang said: "Don't be impatient, you'll know in a while." ”

The battleship accelerated on the basis of its original speed, and shot straight into the sinkhole to the depths. Tang Fang turned off the shield system, power system, and sensing system, but fortunately, the internal balance and compensation system were not turned off, and the bridge was quite stable and barely able to hold on.

I don't know how long it has been, it may be ten minutes, it may be twenty minutes, anyway, after a while, he suddenly felt a faint sense of weightlessness in his body, Walton glanced at Aros, and found that the old soldier's face also showed a suspicious look, and he also felt the gravity anomaly.

Perhaps sensing the faces of the two, Tang Fang explained: "Whether it is the Angel Number, the Prophet Number in the back, or the detector that acted first before the Nightmare entered the sinkhole, they all encountered an abnormal situation. After the appearance of Jörmungad, the original hell-like sinkhole not only had a large area of collapse, but also detected an anomalous gravitational wave inside it, which gradually evolved into a rapidly expanding gravitational field over time. Especially after the Angel and the Prophet ship entered, the energy level of this gravitational field rose rapidly, and as for how far it has reached now, you have also seen ......"

His explanation made the two suddenly bright, but at the same time, they were deeply worried. Aros said: "So, this sinkhole in front of you is an active relic? "The ruins of the Epsilon they have experienced in the past, whether it is the Zero Prime-Isotope Refinery on Na'i Star, or the Epsilon Jump Relay Station, and the large number of dilapidated buildings in the Lost Lands, if they are not awakened by the Tang Fang, they will continue to lie dormant until they are destroyed. Even epic creatures like the Evil Eye and the Giant Serpent couldn't control the ruins, but now, Tang Fang actually told them that this sinkhole on the wandering planet was actually alive, how could it not surprise them, how could it not shock them.

Tang Fang nodded with a cold face, affirming Aros's question.

Walton frowned and said, "Could it be that someone is controlling this ruin...... No...... No way, if it's someone's private property, then what's the matter with Jörmungård? ”

Although he didn't know what it meant to "let others snore on the side of the couch", he knew that there would be no two tigers on a mountain. How could a starry sky beast like Jörmungandr, who stood at the top of the food chain, share his territory with others. "Is it possible...... Is it the descendants of Jörmungård who control this ruin? ”

The veteran said something unsteady, "Can it give birth?" ”

Walton said with a serious face: "Generally speaking, the tail of the male snake is longer than that of the female. I think that the main genes of an epic creature like Jörmungandr should be related to the python. For example, the giant serpent we encountered at the Epsilon Jump Relay Station on the Ultistar Star has such characteristics, isn't that what it is? Looking at Jörmungård, its tail is composed of 8 tentacles, 2 long and 6 short, is there a possibility that this giant beast is a hermaphroditic creature? Just like some plants, there are 2 sets of male and 6 sets of female organs, so that the offspring are reproduced through a self-sufficient process of reproduction. ”

Even a very stable character like a veteran couldn't help but glance at him and said, "This is a serious question. ”

Walton said solemnly: "I'm serious. ”

Tang Fang coughed, looked at Walton and said, "You have a lot of ideas, learn to cook with me." ”

Walton's argument with Aros was interrupted by his incoherent complaints, blinking and dazed, wondering how Captain Tang was connected to cooking about what Jörmungad used to have children.

"Since you also think this relic is alive, why do you want to turn off the Nightmare's shield system and sensing system, so that we are not completely exposed to the enemy's guns and put ourselves in danger?" Tang's interruption reminded Walton of the current crisis, and he couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"If I hadn't, the Nightmare would have fallen into the same predicament as the two Prophet ships."

Because the Nightmare's sensing system was turned off, and the virtual scene projection array and large screen were all dormant, Aros and Walton couldn't see the surrounding scene, and naturally couldn't find the two prophet ships trapped in the invisible force field overhead.

When the Angel was shot down by Jörmungad, the sinkhole's mutation had not yet ended, and the anomalous gravitational wave had not yet escalated to the current level, but when the two Prophet ships were ordered to enter the sinkhole to search for the whereabouts of the Angel, not long after entering this strange gravity field, they were enveloped in a gravitational bubble that exploded instantly, even if the two female Dark Templars launched the spatial torrent at the core of the battleship and tried to break through the gravitational bubble that bound the ship's hull, they did not achieve the results they wanted. So the two prophet ships were like flying insects trapped in a spider's web, no matter how hard they tried, they could not penetrate the invisible bubble.

This phenomenon made Tang Fang feel troublesome, but at this moment, the detector that followed into the sinkhole easily passed through the strange gravity zone without encountering any obstacles in between. Not only that, but the observer also caught a rock that had fallen off the inner wall, and it also easily passed through the strange gravity zone, slowing down and falling.

Why was the Prophet intercepted, but the detector and the rock were able to descend smoothly? This couldn't help but trigger Tang Fang's thinking. In the end, he came up with a conjecture about whether the ruins were spreading their gravitational shield from the inside out, just like the gravitational disorder area on the periphery of a wandering planet, which has a certain warning mechanism for falling objects, and will give special "care" to objects with higher energy levels, and those that are obviously harmless can pass through the gravitational field smoothly.

With this in mind, he turned off the Nightmare's shield system, power system, sensing system, and other subsystems with high energy radiation, making the battleship look like a piece of stubborn iron.

His conjecture proved correct, and the Nightmare entered into a dormant state of the main system successfully passed through the strange gravitational zone, and under the influence of external forces, fell downward in a deceleration manner.

Walton and Aros were not stupid, although they only explained casually, and they understood one after another. The veteran began to wipe the paladin M5 in his palm, expressing his thoughts with this gesture, Walton asked him for a cigar in his mouth, sat back in the seat next to him, and quietly thought about the problem.

Seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, Tang Fang turned his attention to the outside and got in touch with the detector that had entered the sinkhole first.

Knowing that this relic of unknown origin has a certain mechanism for identifying friend and foe, in order to avoid complications, he ordered the detector to suppress the energy response as much as possible, and not to carry out large-scale reconnaissance activities, so as to narrow the scanning area.

As the depth increases, so does the buoyancy applied to the detector, and the slower it becomes, until it is nearly 3,000 kilometers above the surface, when Emma suddenly relays information ------that the diameter of the sinkhole is collapsing at a geometric rate and bending to one side.

Based on this information, Tang Fang drew a three-dimensional model in his mind. This sinkhole, which is thousands of kilometers in diameter, extends from the surface to the core, and its shape resembles a large horn placed vertically, with an extremely wide opening, and as the depth increases, the diameter of the tunnel slowly decreases until it enters the core range, and the tunnel shrinks to tens of kilometers and curves to one side.

After seeing the West Tower quadrant inside Tek in the United Kingdom of Trunks, he had a new understanding of the ability of the Ipsilons or T people to interfere with the structure of the planet, and felt that since there could be a large ruin like the West Tower Quadrant inside Tek, it was nothing to build a sinkhole that went straight to the core of the earth, so he was not too shocked by the information provided by Emma, but was calm and rational.

But for Walton and the veteran, although they were mentally prepared, they still showed shocked expressions. After all, neither the Zero Element Isotope Refinery nor the 500km-level Epsilon Jump Relay Station on Na'i Star has penetrated a planet from the earth's crust to the mantle, and building a functional building in the core area of the earth has more visual and psychological impact.

Walton stayed for a long time before he regained his senses, sighed heavily, and subconsciously asked a key question: "What is the purpose of the Ipsilons digging a hole in this planet that goes straight to the earth's core?" ”

Tang Fang smiled bitterly: "This ...... It is not known that, judging from the current situation, whether it is the gravitational disorder area of the orbit of the wandering planet or the strange gravitational field in the sinkhole, it all originates from this ruin. ”

After listening to his words, Walton raised his eyebrows slowly, and said in a deep voice, "You mean...... The asteroid storm that ravaged the orbital void was not a result of Jörmungård's revenge, but a means of the relic. ”

Tang Fang nodded and shook his head again. Nodding the head, it is believed that everything from the formation of the gravitational disorder zone to the collapse is due to this ruin. Shaking his head, he was not sure whether the "doing" of the ruins had anything to do with Jörmungadr, and if you considered it carefully based on the information we know so far, there was a lot to be considered in that speculation...... Is Jörmungård really the owner of the sinkhole? Could it be similar to the two Prophet ships, a poor moth that fell into a pitcher plant insect trap? Otherwise, why would you fight for the damage of the T energy stone, and kill the mothership core that can slow down its flight speed as soon as possible? (To be continued.) )
