Chapter 645: Dumb Fire
He...... His speed...... So fast! ”
In the quiet hall, everyone heard the deep meaning of the technician's words.
Yes, soon.
On the big screen, with the stretching and enlargement of the picture, as well as the adjustment of the angle of view and the ruler, even if it is still impossible to see the real scene, people can clearly know the change in Cheng Lin's position.
The point of light was moving fast...... Moving...... Occasionally, it will briefly pause for two seconds and stop flashing, but will soon return to normal.
It is like a long progress bar, stubbornly and firmly moving towards the "end".
1,000 ...... 2,000 ......
At first, all the "spectators" did not have any hope, according to calculations, even if all three warheads exploded, they would still not be able to destroy the "white hole", and the reason why they are still standing here is really just to fulfill the responsibility on their shoulders.
For the sake of the Awakened team members who have died, they must also watch this scene to the end.
However, gradually, many people let out a surprised sigh, because the expected scene had not happened for a long time, the point of light kept jumping, moving forward, every pause, people thought that it would be extinguished, and it was marked with a scarlet ×, however, the next second, the signal light point would flash again.
When it had traveled a thousand meters, people were a little surprised.
When it had traveled three thousand meters, people were really surprised.
When it was 10,000 meters away, but still moving forward with extraordinary stability, people looked at each other in disbelief!
"Perhaps...... Is the annunciator broken? Finally, an engineer couldn't help but speculate.
This answer is not something that anyone is happy to see, but it is the most logically reasonable, however, the next second, the fifteen-minute communication is connected again, only to hear a distorted and turbulent voice from the screen: "Briefing, normal." ”
The voice seemed to be no different from the previous one, calm and calm, moving on after a brief briefing, no matter how you listened to it, it didn't look like something had happened.
Normal......
Hearing this voice, Liang Jing subconsciously opened his mouth, looked at the others, and found that everyone had similar expressions.
Normal...... That awakened person named Cheng Lin is indeed still carrying "hope" forward!
"This ......"
There was a fine noise in the hall, and immediately, the technicians in the operating station couldn't help but shout: "Fifteen thousand meters!" ”
15,000 km ...... That's fifteen kilometers...... This distance has greatly exceeded people's psychological expectations.
However, this is not the end of the story, the light points on the screen continue to move forward! With each flicker, it moves forward a little bit again!
"Won't you...... Won't it......"
As if suddenly, the noise in the hall disappeared at once, the atmosphere became tense, and the silence in the building was only the sound of the machine, no one dared to speak, and even the breath took a long time before carefully spitting out, as if afraid that the beating signal source would be blown out with a little force.
Sixteen km ......
Eighteen km ......
Twenty km ......
Every time a new integer is added to the distance scale, the technician shouts it out loud, and everyone can see it even if they don't need to be reminded.
When the number exceeded 20 kilometers, the man wearing glasses and a white coat simply stood up, but he bowed his body again, and the whole person almost lay on the operating table.
And those in the hall were so nervous that they could almost hear their own heartbeats!
At the same time, people from different countries and nationalities have noticed anomalies in the signals in buildings of different styles in countries around the world.
Every fifteen minutes, when Cheng Lin's report sounded from the speaker, someone would quickly translate.
And the atmosphere is slowly tense in this sound report and jumping points of light, like the tide in the sea being pushed to the peak!
As the distance increases, the frequency of the light point flickering gradually changes, and the number of "stays" begins to increase, and people only think that it is because the signal interference is intensifying with the deepening of the distance.
But no one knows what each flicker means.
……
……
Plants dominate the body.
Cheng Lin couldn't remember how many times he had died.
As he went deeper, the enemies he encountered became stronger and stronger, and he also transitioned from mid-level life to high-level.
There was no way to make an accurate conversion, but he knew very well that if he only relied on his own cultivation, he would definitely not be able to break through this layer of blockade, and even if he added the spirit realm to hide, it would be extremely difficult.
At first, he would try to counterattack in the face of danger, but after the number of deaths increased, he stopped making such boring attempts, and just kept going down and down according to the standard coordinates of gravity, as if drifting in a huge, brilliant labyrinth, and I don't know when it will end.
Finally, just as he was becoming numb, he broke open a cluster of flowers, and then he felt suddenly enlightened.
The space suddenly became wider!
Unlike the previous emptiness, the space in front of him was huge and almost a field, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, and there were no more strange plants around, nor could he see strange insects, he was stunned, and then realized that he had walked into a sea of flowers.
At the foot of the foot, there is a sea of countless young yellow flower branches that are slightly larger than normal plants, those flowers are very strange, exuding misty light, showing tender and fresh goose yellow, which is not terrible to look at, but somewhat cute.
"Woo......"
There was a faint sound of air flow disturbance around, and Cheng Lin quickly noticed that there was an upward air current, which rolled up some petals and blew into the air.
He looked up, and even saw a few trees and vines intertwined at a very high place, weaving a net, which was extremely far from the "ground", so that the space seemed to be very large.
It was not tight, but rather sparse, and Cheng Lin could see through those holes the dark and deep universe.
Retracting his gaze, he looked far away and saw a white light in the center of the sea of flowers.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had arrived at the "center", the light, which was the root of all the changes, the passage of the other space called the "white hole".
……
Ground, launch center.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing as if it contained a stormy sea, Liang Jing clenched his fists, and his nails almost pierced his palms and pierced into the flesh.
At this moment, these people also forgot the time, just stared at the picture on the screen fixedly, on the marked scale, the jumping point of light had stopped, and it seemed that after a long run, it had finally arrived at the other side.
"White Hole...... It's already in the heart of the attack! In a calm atmosphere, the technician finally said in a trembling voice.
There were no cheers, no screams, and people felt like it was all unreal.
Under their gaze, the mission, which was already "doomed" to fail, was miraculously reversed, so that, after getting the news, no one really dared to believe it.
Or, more precisely, fear, they are afraid that it is all false, that it is a "joke", that they are afraid of giving "hope" and being deprived of it.
"This ...... It's true? I don't know who asked in a hoarse voice.
There was no answer.
People just looked at the big screen in unison, and the time came to another fifteen minutes, only to hear a distorted voice coming from the microphone on time:
"The ground center, which has arrived at the intended location, has not yet reached the time for automatic detonation, and will now be readjusted, and it is expected that in thirty seconds, 'Hope' will detonate."
A calm voice was heard, accompanied by the sound of Didi pressing the code, and after a few seconds, the time on the big screen that represented the countdown to the detonation of the warhead first stalled, then was re-dialed to thirty seconds to the countdown, and the timer restarted.
"Zoom in...... Magnify! ”
The academician of engineering shouted abruptly.
Immediately, I saw the screen change, the flickering light faded, replaced by a real-time dynamic image taken by the satellite containing the entire "plant overlord", and the thirty-second countdown floated in the center of the background, began to beat, countdown.
30、29、28……
……
in the universe.
Cheng Lin withdrew the communicator from his mouth, and then with "hope", he turned on the external switch, and entered the restart password with his stiff fingers in the extremely cold temperature.
Beside him, the last four remaining six-core puppets were surrounded, staring around vigilantly, Cheng Lin could vaguely sense that danger was coming, he didn't think that there were so many dangers on the road, and when he reached the end, he would be safe.
Therefore, he did not want to delay and prepared to detonate in advance.
Drip...... Drip......
After entering the password three times in a row, Cheng Lin cleared the detonation countdown to zero according to the training tutorial before entering the rocket, set it to thirty seconds, and then clicked OK.
The reason why he did not choose to detonate immediately was that the warhead itself had a time limit to prevent accidental detonation, and second, he was unwilling to die in this way.
Thirty seconds doesn't affect anything, but it gives him enough time to get away.
This may not be possible for others, but he is an exception.
"It's probably the biggest fireworks I've ever seen up close in my life." He muttered to himself, then placed the warhead, called "Hope", among the flowers.
At this time, there was a sound of friction around him, and he saw that the grass and trees surrounding the flower field, the green vines came to life, wriggling their huge bodies like mountains, and attacked him.
Silently, the eyes of the last four puppets lit up, and at the same time raised their spears to meet them, like real knights charging at the giants.
Cheng Lin didn't look at them who were destined to be crushed, but just held the He Sword in his right hand.
12…… 11…… 10……
Finally, after glancing at the countdown, Cheng Lin raised the sword and pointed it towards the sky, and in an instant, he poured in the aura and started the sword technique.
A cold wind blew the immature yellow flowers around him from top to bottom, and Cheng Lin's imperial sword turned into a streamer and flew straight towards the deep space above his head!
His speed was extremely fast, and in a matter of seconds, he had already flown out of the huge, plant-woven "grid", breaking away from the body of the "plant overlord" and rushing towards the infinite universe!
And those huge and indescribable branches and vines are like bloodthirsty snakes, unfolding one after another under the instinct of chasing prey, circling, staggering, spreading, chasing towards Cheng Lin who turned into sword light!
At this moment, in the picture observed by the satellite, the small planet-like plant suddenly unfolded, like a huge, blooming flower.
A streamer of light flew out from the position of the stamen, and in an instant, it entered the universe, and behind him, three long vines like snakes swept after him, and at the top of the vines, there were deep purple flowers that split their mouths, as if to devour him.
"This ...... It's ......"
In the ground launch center, Liang Jing and the others were stunned to see this scene, and immediately realized that Cheng Lin didn't know what method to use, and he successfully flew away from the main body!
This was undoubtedly enough to make anyone feel unbelievable, however, at this moment, everyone did not have time to think about it, but quickly drew their attention back to the beating and counting down numbers.
Coincidentally, around the world, in countless buildings, people with different faces began to count down in different languages:
“4…… 3…… 2……”
In the universe, Cheng Lin only felt that the surroundings were suddenly colder, all the sounds disappeared, his body became light and fluttering, difficult to control, and there was no gas to breathe around, but fortunately, he had already inhaled enough air before he flew away, enough for him to survive for a few minutes.
He turned slowly, ignoring the vines that were about to grab him, but turned his gaze to the "blooming flower", and at the same time, silently counted in his heart:
“2…… 1…… 0! ”
"Drip-"
In the sea of flowers, the counter on the surface of "Hope" lying on the ground finally returned to zero, however...... The expected explosion did not come as planned.
In silence, time passed for a few more seconds, and the universe remained calm and nothing happened.
