【Gate of Time and Space】The edge of the 66th orbit. Ｘ

After engulfing the entire reconnaissance fleet, the "Grey Zone" began to spread rapidly to the periphery.

Perhaps this is inaccurate, as the "Grey Areas" have never stopped expanding since their inception.

In the turbulent encirclement of the "Gray Zone", a spaceship continued to explode into clouds of white light and flames, and then unexpectedly tossed and turned in space, miraculously avoiding disaster after disaster.

【Gollum spicy! 】

When the afterglow of the blue light flames dancing in the sky dissipated into the darkness, the Volcano Ball General finally couldn't help but curse the most vicious swear word in the language system of the dark energy civilization!

[Sacrificed, sacrificed, all sacrificed!!] 】

General Volcano Ball didn't dare to imagine the hydrogen atoms and neutrino particles left behind behind him, because they were the wreckage and bones left behind by the coalition fleet.

"Teleportation successful!!"

Yuan Chen suddenly shouted with relief.

[You have successfully transmitted the truth of the "ghost" to the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the Alliance!? General Volcano Ball asked, turning his head.

"Danger!!"

Before he could answer, Yuan Chen suddenly roared again, because at that moment just now, the two staggered "gray areas" were like a devil's fanged mouth, almost swallowing the spaceship and tearing it apart. (The relative velocity of the two parties slows down the time of contact.) ）

The spaceship almost brushed along the edge of the "gray area", and the closest distance was less than 10,000 kilometers!

In the eyes of the god of death, whose speed reached 2,000 times the speed of light, at a distance of 10,000 kilometers, the spaceship that Yuan Chen and the Volcano Ball General were on was simply meat in his mouth, just waiting to bite down and suck blood.

[Ahh 】

The Volcano Ball General screamed in horror.

To live, or to die?

At this time, it is five or five each!

Yuan Chen also instinctively closed his eyes, at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it at all, but he was just glad that the key data had been successfully transmitted, and it was not in vain.

Fortunately, the god of luck finally took pity on these two lonely intelligent beings, and the spaceship once again narrowly escaped from the "gray area", and continued to escape in the direction of the [Gate of Time and Space] No. 66 rotary orbit!

[What the hell are these "ghosts"!?] I don't want to die with doubts!! 】

After making sure that he had escaped from Ascension again, the terrified Volcano Sphere General hurriedly asked, eager to know the truth about the "Grey Zone".

"These ghosts are robotic programs etched on quark particles that unfold to one dimension in space above five dimensions, they have no autonomous consciousness, and only one command - infinite copying, devouring all things......"

Yuan Chen briefly told the Volcano Ball General while sending the relevant information to the other party in the form of brain waves.

[Etching quark robots!] The expression of the Volcano Ball General, who knew the truth, distorted and changed one after another, [The Annihilation Alliance actually released such a ghostly thing, aren't they afraid that they will also be counterattacked by the etched quark robots!? 】

"Don't forget, they are the Annihilation Alliance, and their purpose was originally to bring the entire universe to annihilation." Yuan Chen reminded the Volcano Ball General with a solemn face.

[So what are we going to do next?] 】

Volcanic Sphere reacted again, and they were still in a state of uncertainty about their fate and death.

"Run for your life, if you still have a chance." Yuan Chen smiled bitterly.

【Gollum spicy! Damn the "gray area"!! Where else can we run now? 】

General Volcano Ball quickly switched the monitoring screen, only to find that almost all directions had been sealed and shrouded in the "gray area".

"There is only a glimmer of life in this direction, and I have just sent a request for rescue to the Orbital Garrison No. 66. Leave the rest to the ship, we really can't do anything, just leave it to fate. ”

At this time, Yuan Chen was no longer entangled. He thought that in this situation, instead of lamenting and lamenting, it was better to spend this as the last bit of time in his life to think about and summarize the people and things in the past.

[At this time, the entire 66th orbit may have been surrounded by the "gray area", and the starfleet stationed in it must also be too busy to take care of themselves, they may not have time to help us......] General Volcano Ball is well aware of the current situation.

Yuan Chen nodded, then glanced in the direction of escape, only to unexpectedly find a more serious problem.

"Oh no, the direction of our flight seems to be the entrance of the 66th rotary orbit to the [Gate of Time and Space] Purple Giant Pupil!"

[What do you say!?] 】

Hearing this, the Volcano Ball General was also shocked, and hurriedly checked and confirmed.

The 999 rotary rails of the [Time and Space Gate] are not accessible casually, and in the state of not opening normally, approaching the entrance of any of the [Time and Space Gates] is tantamount to a moth to a fire, and the violent and mixed energy flow used for acceleration will instantly vaporize the objects entering it!

Obviously, at this time, the No. 66 rotary orbit must have not been opened, and they even had extreme doubts that the [Time and Space Gate] would still be able to maintain normal operation after losing nearly half of its structural units.

"Now, unless we get the help of the 66th Orbit Command Center, our last chance of escape will be in vain."

Surrounded by endless [Etched Quark Robots], the only way to escape is an "energy furnace"!

Yuan Chen's brows were tightly locked, and his face quickly became gloomy, although escaping back to the No. 66 rotary track may not be able to escape the encirclement and suppression of the "gray area" in the end, but it is better to die than to live, and it is a while to be able to live a little longer, and now the alliance has figured out the details of the "ghost", in case there is a miracle.

[Haven't you responded to the rescue request you just sent to the 66th Orbital Garrison?] General Volcano asked anxiously.

"Nope." Yuan Chen said solemnly, "There are about 2 hours and 21 minutes left, and we will plunge headlong into the entrance of the No. 66 rotary track. Of course, the premise is that we can successfully escape the encirclement of the [Etched Quark Robot]......"

[Well, you're right, we can only wait now.] 】

The Volcano Ball General said nothing, and then the two fell silent.

……

With 2 hours and 3 minutes, 1 hour and 28 minutes, and 1 hour and 11 minutes left before entering the entrance to orbit No. 66, the spacecraft encountered the "gray area" several times, but in the end they were lucky to escape death.

This really made Yuan Chen sigh.

And it wasn't until 56 minutes before entering the entrance of the 66th rotary orbit that Yuan Chen and General Volcano Ball received a reply from the command center.

[I am the Supreme Archon of the 66th Orbital Defense Area of the Gate of Time and Space. First of all, thank you very much for your efforts! It is your important discoveries that give us hope for life. However, I have to regret to say to you that at present all the fleets have already gone to the front, and we are no longer able to draw up surplus military forces to rescue you. In fact, even if we send a fleet, according to the position you are in now, we will not be able to break through the encirclement of the "gray zone" at all. The command center has monitored your escape route, and I must be honest with you, this is definitely a death route, and there is little chance of survival. By the time you received this message, we had done everything we could to open the entrance to Orbit 66, but the damage to the Gate was so severe that we would not be able to maintain the stability of the Orbital Channel, even if we had drawn the vast majority of the energy sources. Therefore, the probability that the fleet will be able to pass the rotary orbit normally will not exceed 30%. Note that I'm talking about the probability that the fleet will pass normally, and the spaceship you're on is the most advanced, but it's too small and doesn't have the protection of other fleets...... I don't want to go into too much detail about the probability that you will succeed in passing the orbit, but you must be mentally prepared. In addition, I must also remind you that the Gate of Time and Space is on the verge of collapse, and even if you can successfully pass through and reach the world outside the universe, you may be trapped for a long time due to the collapse of the Gate and cannot return, after all, repairing the Gate is a vast and protracted project....... Well, I don't want to say too much because you guys have no choice anymore. The Great War is about to break out, and we have absolutely no time or energy to continue to look after you, and there is only so much we can do. Finally, good luck to all of you, as well as to Orbit 66 and the Good Luck of the Gate of Time and Space! 】

PS: The etched quark robot is a model I built according to the idea of von Neumann's robot, although the theory can basically be self-justifying, but the details still need a lot of imagination, after all, it is far from the height of science and technology that we are far from reaching at present.

In addition, the way to defeat the etched quark robot has also left a foreshadowing, and it is believed that super cosmic civilizations such as the creator civilization will inevitably think of countermeasures.
