How long will our supplies be able to consume?] 】

General Volcano Ball is also aware of the seriousness of the problem, the power system consumption of the ship is secondary, the most critical is to maintain the basic operation of the ship, and the energy consumption required for the two of them to survive.

Although this spaceship, which represents the most advanced technological level of the Salvation Alliance, has already perfected its material and energy circulation system to the point of outrageousness, in the void world outside this truly empty universe, the ship's resources will eventually be exhausted one day.

It's like a piece of ice crystal, even at extremely low temperatures, it will sublimate and disappear.

"Because we can't get any supplies outside of the universe, we can only hold out for 300 years at most with our current resource reserves." Yuan Haochen replied slowly.

[300 years, this time is really embarrassing! ] The volcanic sphere is very helpless about this, [but don't say 300 years, according to the current situation, even if it is 3000 years, 30000 years will not be able to repair the damage of the "Time and Space Gate"! 】

According to the literature, it took ten epochs (about 100,000 years) for the [Time Gate] to be completely restored after the catastrophe of the 182741 era.

What's even more serious is that this time the damage to the [Time and Space Gate] is much worse than the former.

"To survive, we have no choice but to go into deep hibernation." Yuan Haochen solemnly said to General Volcano, "I have already calculated, in the case of deep dormancy, we can control the consumption of resources and materials to about 0.31% under normal operation. ”

[So, theoretically, we can hold on for about 90,000 years at the longest?] General Volcano Sphere was silent for a moment, and then said worriedly, [But even if we can survive these 90,000 years, I'm afraid we may not be able to wait for rescue, on the one hand, the time is uncertain, and on the other hand, the world outside the universe is so grand, and the alliance fleet wants to find us, how slim it is......]

"But it's the safest and most promising way." Yuan Haochen said.

[This...... Isn't there any other way to save ourselves? 】

General Volcano Ball asked very unwillingly, in fact, he also knew very well that in the world outside the universe, there was not even a single elementary particle to be found, how could they get the supplies they needed to survive.

They could certainly choose to reduce their speed to reach a nearer orbit around the universe, but the energy required to slow down would severely reduce the amount of time they could survive outside of the universe.

"If the news is correct, there are still 1,598 Alliance fleets conducting scientific exploration work outside the universe at this moment, and although they are also trapped outside the universe, their survivability must be far superior to ours. So, pray that we will have some adventures in the days to come. Yuan Haochen said noncommittally.

[You're right, whether you want to encounter these 1598 scientific exploration fleets in this magnificent void world, or something else, it's definitely an adventure. General Volcano Ball sighed softly.

"In the same way, it is only when we go into deep hibernation that we have a higher chance of waiting until the day when the adventure appears."

After listening to Yuan Haochen's words, General Volcano Ball immediately thought about it and said: [Forget it, it's okay to go into deep hibernation, otherwise in this empty ghost place, I will completely collapse in 300 years......]

"Let's recuperate for a few days, or we can take the opportunity to briefly understand the situation around us, and then immediately enter a deep hibernation ......," Yuan proposed.

【Good!】 That's all I can do. 】

About half a month later, both Hara and General Volcano Ball entered a deep dormant state one after another as planned.

Before the deep hibernation, they also set up several emergency wake-up conditions, including discovery rescue, danger, and other special and valuable important discoveries.

In the time after the two of them went into deep hibernation, in order to save energy, the spacecraft's intelligent operating system began to turn off all non-essential lighting, insulation, air circulation, and computing equipment, leaving only the most basic monitoring system and dormant life support system, reducing resource consumption to a minimum.

As a result, the entire spaceship began to become dim and silent, like a gray interstellar stone.

And the world, which was already full of infinite darkness, began to become darker and darker.

……

The infinitely empty and empty world outside this universe lacks a reference object, so no matter how long it flies or how long it flies, the surroundings are always the same.

Time seems to have lost its meaning!

It seems that the sport has lost its meaning!

Because considering that in the four-dimensional space, the information contained in any tiny matter will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, the exploration and research of spacecraft are mainly carried out at the level of four-dimensional space.

However, even so, the spacecraft monitoring system has been monitoring for 10,000 years.

Hara and General Volcano Ball spent an extremely long time in a deep dormant state until an unexpected discovery caused the ship's AI system to wake them up.

.……

"Volcano Sphere, are you finally awake and know why we are awakened? It's incredible, the gravitational wave monitoring system has found an area with a significant mass signal, due to the limitation of energy consumption, we can't determine the actual distance from the spacecraft for the time being, and of course the volume can't be accurately measured, but there is an estimate that its three-dimensional diameter is about 800,000 to 1.5 million kilometers, which is almost the size of a large star in a moment......"

Yuan Haochen was the first to wake up and regain his mobility, and at this moment he was roughly telling the Volcanic Ball General who had just regained consciousness about the information obtained by the spacecraft monitoring system.

[The area of the stellar mass, where there are signs of intelligent bodies?] 】

The Volcanic Ball General still asked a little confused, he didn't know until just now that he had been deeply dormant for nearly 20,000 years, so it would take a long time for his body to return to its normal state.

"I can't be sure, maybe it's just a dead thing, but it's good news anyway." Yuan Haochen said with emotion, "After a long journey of almost 20,000 years, the spacecraft has drifted 160 million light-years outside the universe, and this is the first time that we have found signs of the existence of matter in the void world, and this is the first time we have come into contact with matter outside the universe......"

[How long will it take to get there?] General Volcano Ball rolled over and asked, "I mean the approximate time. 】

"By the time you're fully regained, we'll be almost there. The ship's AI control system wakes us up based on the time it takes for us to wake up and the distance to the target. Yuan Haochen replied.

[It seems that I am dragging my feet, I don't have the physical condition as good as you. 】

Hearing this, the Volcano Ball General had no choice but to chuckle and honestly lie down to recuperate and adjust his body and mind.

The spacecraft continued to fly forward for approximately three more days before finally approaching the target.
