Chapter Seventy-Six: Gift or Disaster
The void, the silent void, is like a lifeless sea, and galaxies are isolated islands in the ocean that are forcibly gathered by gravity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There may be a few sporadic ships coming and going between islands, but for the most part, silence is still the leitmotif of all the Voids.
Even the closest places to the galaxy rarely interact with matter.
At the beginning of the birth of this world, there was no such thing as gravity, in the blazing "Tiangu Oven", all the elementary particles were doing a never-ending high-speed random motion, and every moment, the particles and antiparticles that make up the universe were colliding, constantly creating and annihilating, resulting in the number of particles and antiparticles in the universe being equal!
It's a horrible scene, all the particles are annihilating and creating, moving at high speed and irregularly - if nothing else interferes with them, these particles will always move like this, there will be no neutrons in the world, there will be no electrons and atoms, and of course, there will be no universe as we see it now, and there will be no you and me.
They will continue in this way until the earth is desolate and the universe is destroyed.
Whether it's luck or fate, this kind of thing doesn't happen.
At some point, an unknown reaction process that violates the conservation of baryon numbers emerges, and it brutally and brutally slams a stick into a world that may go on in an infinite loop, stirring up a world that seems to be a pool of stagnant water - it slightly outnumbers the number of quarks and leptons (about one in 30 million)
Inconspicuous? That's right, but that's where us, you, me, him, and everything began.
This process, known as baryon number generation, has led to the dominance of matter relative to antimatter in the universe today.
Along with this process, there is gravity.
Gravity has forcibly gathered matter into islands in the vast ocean, which has led to this magnificent universe, and since then, it has been conscientiously maintaining the operation of this world.
But even a cosmic model worker who is so loyal to his duty occasionally misses.
This is a wandering asteroid, it has traveled an unknown number of light years to get here, the void never counts years, and time has not carved its own mark on its body.
Perhaps it was a supernova explosion, a large amount of debris broke out of the shackles and wandered aimlessly through the vast universe. Perhaps it was a planet-shaking collision of heaven and earth, where the fragments of the two planets were scattered in a fan-shaped plane, or even the forces of civilization used the weapons they created to blow up a planet...... In the vast universe, the probability of everything is not zero
The asteroid is about eight kilometers long, and it is not the most inconspicuous of the many asteroids, but it is not very big.
But there's one thing that makes it different.
It only takes a closer look to see how different this asteroid is.
On its surface, the glow of the starry sky is reflected by the dotted transparent ones, these colorless transparent crystals made up of simple hydrogen and oxygen atoms that condense into the shape of crystals in the cold of space.
Yes, they are water, a gift from the distant starry sky.
But this is not the most valuable, and even, these precious crystals are just the outer packaging of this gift.
It's so valuable that almost all recipients can't afford it? Priceless? You can describe it, but it's not enough.
But the asteroid carrying the world's treasures is not closely protected by more than 50 Galen warships like the Spanish treasure fleet, but like a seabird lost in the ocean, looking around, unable to find a single foothold.
Until...... It approached this star system.
It was so close that the channel was slightly skewed by gravity.
The asteroid's journey...... It's over.
It crossed the sparse outer ring, the orbit of the black solid planet farthest from the star, the three blue, pale green, and colorful gas planets, and several of their moons, and searched for its nest like a distant migratory bird.
It also crossed the inner ring zone, over the fiery and golden, lava-strewn planets.
Until, a strange system caught its attention and pulled it in its tracks.
It was a beautiful three-star system, with two blue planets revolving around each other, one of which was surrounded by a tiny red satellite.
Its terminal has arrived.
The gravitational pull of the Samsung system wrapped around its body, pulling it inside, and the invisible hand seemed to turn into an invitation to invite it, this tired desert traveler, to this small oasis.
The asteroid's orbit changes again.
If it is conscious, at this time, its expression is probably "glad to accept", right?
……
Tianyang found three armored scorpions from a pile of sand and mud. Before, Tianyang asked them to hide under the carapace of the outlying island beasts, but the outlying island beasts were awakened by the falling star attack of the phantom jellyfish, and in order to float to the surface of the sea, the dozens of large tentacles that absorbed water and sprayed water sharply increased the output power.
If the previous disturbance of the water flow, the output of the tentacles was only QQ Chery-level, when the outlying island beast woke up, this output instantly soared to the level of the Bugatti Veyron, and the armored scorpions who were caught off guard (but it seemed that it was useless to prevent it) were suddenly blown into the sand pile below, and they were continuously sprayed in for a long time, and by the time the water flow of the outlying island beasts could no longer affect the armored scorpions, they had been buried in the sand......
If it weren't for the fact that the armored scorpion's body was relatively hard, and there was an achievement of oxygen resistance, it would have been flattened or suffocated to death a long time ago.
What's the matter, it's a high-ranking lord, it's too aggrieved to suffocate to death.
"Toot ......"
Tianyang also likes to listen to the voice of the outlying island beast, the sound sounds loud, and the transmission distance is also very wide, but the actual volume is not very large, and the huge outlying island beast will not be like some terrifying creatures named Big Mom all the time screaming, the whistle sound conveyed between them plays a role like the flag language of a ship, and some simple changes in height and size convey information that only the same clan knows, and listen to this wide vocal range more, and they can also produce a sense of calm and unhurried vastness.
…… Probably because they have a large lung capacity, there is still no species that can threaten their leisurely and slow-paced life, right?
Well, I ate and slept, woke up and ate, and there was nothing, so I didn't envy it......
Tianyang swam around the outlying island beast at close range, carefully observing the outlying island beast, and the outlying island beast didn't care about this little thing, just glanced at it and ignored it.
Well, just a glance......
"Please, take these eyes...... This thing isn't cute at all...... And it's pretty scary, 2333."
The eyeball that grew at the end of the tentacles of the outlying island beast indifferently glanced at the strange armored scorpion covering its eyes with its arthropods, and retracted back to go about its own business.
Well, think about it, with such a large body as the outlying island beast, it is definitely not enough to have a few eyes in front, and it is too troublesome to have eyes all over the body, and it is not practical for the optic nerve to be so scattered, it is better to grow on some tentacles, which is not only economical, but also very flexible.
"But I still can't look at it, and I always think of something strange when I see this."
The tentacle eyes said that this is the way of the world, we hid ourselves in the water and were shot, forget it, let's go on our own.
The outlying island beasts slowly opened their mouths more than ten meters wide, and countless seawater mixed with fragments of phantom jellyfish poured into them, and their range was so large that a huge whirlpool was even formed in the mouth of the outlying island beast in an instant, and everything in the whirlpool was swept into it.
Even Tianyang, who was not at the mouth of the outlying island beast, was affected, and it had to quickly slap its tail and try its best to extend all the water-dividing armor pieces before it could be able to break free from the pull of the current.
Unconsciously the outlying island beast closed its mouth violently, and the jaw that smashed down collided with the sea, stirring up waves more than ten meters high, and the entire "island" trembled a few times.
In this loud noise that even the sea trembled together, Tianyang could only say that he had been injured by tons of sonic AOE, and he was almost about to turn his belly white.
The island beast was content to continue its great cause of eating, and this time Tianyang only dared to watch from afar, and was no longer ready to get so close.
With a giant beast of this level, even if someone moves their buttocks, you are at risk of being sat to death!
"Toot ......"
What keeps a giant beast of the level of the Outlying Island Beast able to float on the surface of the sea must be very large cavities, and when communication is required, these cavities are also huge vocal trachea.
Tianyang's perception can easily detect where the sea vibration is coming from, the source is the crater, and more accurately, the vibration comes from the lid at the bottom of the crater.
There was probably the cavity under the lid, and when it came to it, Tianyang remembered the smooth and hard texture of the lid, and the way the outlying island beasts didn't care when they were bathed in a meteor shower - probably the lid was frontal, and there wouldn't be any damage, right?
This is perhaps the most defensive vocal cord in the world......
The outlying island beasts glide their tentacles, large and small, and from time to time adjust their direction through those large tentacles that spray water, floating up and down, and eating happily.
They don't look like eating, they look more like ...... Doing sports?
That's right! Do sports!
The outlying island beast sleeps on the bottom of the sea for a long time, and if it does not exercise all the time, its muscles will atrophy. In order to prevent muscle atrophy, they will find time to exercise when they wake up.
"It's reasonable to think about it, of course a guy like a jellyfish whose body is 95% water is not nutritious, and it's not worth waking up for it once, but if the main purpose is to exercise to prevent muscle atrophy, it's not bad to grab a meal."
As for the staple food of the outlying island beasts...... Tianyang remembered the migration of the light-helmeted fish - it didn't see it, it didn't mean that people didn't go. Schools of migratory fish are scattered all over the coastline, and it is most normal not to see them.
If it was a giant mouth like the outlying island beast, it wouldn't be surprising even if it swallowed thousands of light helmet fish in one bite.
However, Tianyang, who has figured everything out, doesn't feel happy.
"I always feel unsure, as if something is going to happen...... Did I forget something? ”
