Chapter 64: The Journey Has Come to an End......
Frantic fighting makes an urgent leap, and the journey ends in the underworld.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The third day of space orbit.
"It's just ......" Xing Lan looked at the huge giant bird in the starry sky in front of him with amazement, "An incomparably precise masterpiece." β
The more you scan it with the signal pron, the more astonishing the form of this space creature becomes, and its precision is beyond imagination.
The dormant giant bird is no longer blue-black all over, and its orientation towards the star appears partially yellowish-white like that of the young bird. Compared to blue-black feathers, these light-colored feathers are good at reflecting some of the sunlight to maintain body temperature...... Of course, you can also control the current of the biophotoplate.
A giant bird that can migrate in the starry sky...... Let's call it a migratory bird.
This bird is able to bathe in lakes with hundreds of degrees of heat, as well as maintain its body temperature in the icy cold of space. Their ability to adapt is something Xinglan has never seen before.
The signalon seeped into the hard feather on the outside, through the gaps between each atom, and then discovered its internal circulatory system.
The main component of the boiling hot blood is not water, but ...... The same sulfur fluoride as the magnetic ring lake.
"That lake is the water of life for them." Xinglan pondered, trying to reason out everything he needed to know, "The so-called sulfur-based creatures, a hot planet?" They will only go to the sulphurized planet to replenish the material when they need it. β
The blood filled with liquid sulphur fluoride also flows in a temperature of several hundred degrees, and the feathers on the outside of the migratory bird can well separate the heat from the inside and outside, ensuring that the heat in the body does not dissipate too quickly in the cold space.
The signalrons slowly move down the circulatory system, through layers of sulfide biofilms, and then arrive at the ...... Cerebrum.
That's right, the brain of the migratory bird, it's simply ......
Xinglan intuitively observed the head of the migratory bird through the signal as if she had touched it with her own hands. The blood vessels slowly dilate and contract, showing the pulse of life, but at the center of everything, it is not the brain full of ravines, but the ...... A silicon-based wafer?
"It's a computer chip! However, the complexity is orders of magnitude higher than that of the base host. Xinglan carefully walked through the gaps between the atoms, scanning these computing elements that were as complex as atoms and even quantums, "Such a fine and impurity-free and perfect self-correction system is not like a civilized creation, well, it should be a product of natural evolution." β
Sulfur-based migratory birds have silicon-based wafer brains, so they can perform high-speed calculations to communicate with electromagnetic waves?
"No, it's not all......" Xinglan slowly passed through a gap between the wafers and found a special area with magnetism, "Magnetic field sensing? However, in space, it cannot rely entirely on the planet's magnetic field...... Wait, planetary magnetic field! β
In the signal subnetwork, the analog image changes rapidly, and soon a most likely pattern is deduced.
"Localization by sensing the magnetic fields of planets and stars?" Xinglan muttered to herself, "Coupled with the ability to move by inertia after hibernation, could it be said that the Star Bird can travel long distances in the universe?" β
If that's the case, it's not just about being able to fly into space as a satellite......
Xinglan, who was distracted for a while, was in a trance, and accidentally, the signal on collided with the magnetic field sensing area, causing a slight change......
Zizizi......
The huge electromagnetic signal sounded again, it was the cry of a giant bird that suddenly woke up, and tiny ripples began to appear on those silver eyes, which meant that it began to see!
"Huh? Oops, get out of bed? Xinglan quickly retracted the signal in a weak heart, and the Discovery sent an apologetic signal to the giant bird.
Although the previous giant bird obviously knew what the robot was, it also didn't seem to understand the existence of signals. Even after receiving Xinglan's information, it was very confused, not knowing what method the other party had used to wake it up.
For migratory birds, the dislocation of the magnetic field area will produce a sense of misalignment...... To put it simply, it's like being halfway through sleep when you suddenly feel that your body is spinning and you are awakened.
The effect of the signal on the signal was very small, so the effect was not large, so the star bird was just a momentary disorientation, and it quickly calmed down.
It glanced at the Discovery with deep meaning, and instead of immediately going dormant again, it sent out a flood of messages in all directions.
This time, you won't have to wait too long. Just a few minutes later, there was a response from the starry sky, and an optical sensor composed of signal subs also detected the presence of the target.
Flock of birds, flock of birds flying in the starry sky.
The receiving surface of the optical sensor, which is composed of signal prons, began to increase, and a large number of signal prons that were replenishing energy in the star quickly returned to the position of the Explorer, and then together formed a huge receiving mirror with a diameter of one kilometer.
With the increase of the receiving glass, the group of migratory birds in the field of vision gradually became clearer. Visually, there were hundreds of huge birds approaching the area, they had been drifting almost by inertia before, but now, perhaps because of the signal, Xinglan could see the jets on the soles of the giant birds' feet re-ignite, leaving behind a long jet tail flame. The silvery-white octagonal eyes of these behemoths have a unique construction that not only has an extremely long range of vision, but there is almost nothing from infrared to gamma rays that they cannot see, even ultra-low frequency microwaves, which they can receive through auditory antennas.
It's not like a living thing, it's a fully functional interstellar research ship!
While Xinglan was observing, several tiny asteroids floated towards the birds, just in the way of the birds' forward orbit!
Dangerous! These small rubbles can cause extremely terrifying damage under the ultra-high-speed movement of space!
The fleet of migratory star birds obviously had no intention of avoiding it, and Xinglan saw from a distance that the leading star migratory bird flapped its huge wings that covered the sky and the sun, and hundreds of feathers quickly bounced forward, accurately hitting the small gravel after flying a distance with inertial speed......
Boom Boom Boom ......
The feathers are not very fast, but they are very fast relative to the asteroid, and they appear to be filled with some violent explosives. With a few flashes of light, the roadblock in front of the flock was either blown to pieces or completely deviated from another track that would not collide.
"Is this just a pass?" Xing Lan was a little dignified, "Even if the Discovery Ship encounters these asteroids, it can only change its orbit and bypass it, and it can actually hit the target at such a long distance through inertial ejection......"
β¦β¦
A flock of migratory birds...... No, fleet.
In the dark orbit of space, Xinglan watched as the huge cosmic creatures passed through the outer light band of the magnetic ring island and came to the front of the Explorer.
In front of a group of guys larger than a spaceship, Xinglan said that the pressure was slightly higher.
The star migratory bird that was with Xinglan greeted him, sending out a series of complex signals, and the leader bird on the opposite side seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking at the Explorer and thinking, and then sent back a series of signals as well......
"What the hell, what the hell is I going to do after waiting here for a long time?" Grunting dissatisfiedly, Xinglan looked boredly as the two adult migratory star birds in front of her were chatting with electromagnetic waves that she couldn't crack...... Wait, something seems wrong?
Xinglan, who had figured everything out in an instant, felt a chill in her heart, and a cold feeling actually appeared in her heart, she turned her perspective and looked at every detail of the movements of the two migratory star birds, and suddenly realized a key problem......
Wrong! Completely mistaken!
Migrating Star Birds are not creatures with simple feelings and language at all, they are simply highly intelligent creatures with perfect logical thinking! The previous star bird had deliberately only transmitted a database of electromagnetic waves with simple emotions, so that Xinglan couldn't understand what they were discussing now!
The leader of the flock in front of it seemed to be unable to agree with the giant bird that remained behind, and after a fierce argument, it suddenly turned to face the Explorer and rushed forward, ignoring the dissuasive voices of many migratory birds behind it, and spread its huge blue-black wings......
It's going to launch a feather attack on the Discovery!
Without hesitation, Xinglan made the only way to dodge this close-range, wide-area attack: urgently enter the chaotic jump state!
The diamond-shaped chaotic jump engine lit up instantly, and a layer of invisible silver light flashed on the surface of the black shuttle-shaped ship. The light was faint, but it was spotted by the leader bird in front of it, and with a scream, its three long legs erupted huge blue-white flames, and it pounced directly on the Explorer......
Damn it! Xinglan tries to maneuver the ship to avoid the attack by tilting its hull, but the ship is more agile than the creatures! The huge migratory bird swooped on the ship, its wide wings enveloping the entire ship, and the blue-white flames on the soles of its feet burned violently against the outer shell of the ship......
[The jump begins.] γ
The door to the imaginary dimension was opened again, and the boundless silver grid stretched all the way to infinity and distance, and the Explorer and the migratory bird were swept into a huge quantum wave......
"Protection fails! Damn, that guy tore the shell armor and the signal couldn't be effectively attached! Xinglan even began to regret not installing a weapon system on the Explorer, and after only a few seconds, the damage caused by the Star Bird spread to the jump engine, and the diamond-like engine began to shatter.
γWarning! Warn! Jump fails! Jump fails! γ
Unprecedented madness surged up in the infinite confined spatial grid, and the leading migratory bird on the outside of the Discovery could not bear this tremendous energy at all, and struggled and wailed frantically. Instead of turning into fragments of particles from different dimensions as before, the entire ship swayed in a huge silver space shelf......
[Get out of the space shelf!] Out of the space rack! γ
β¦β¦
In the dark cosmic space, a tattered black spaceship and a scaly migratory bird appeared out of thin air in the continuous rolling, and suddenly, a huge space energy also rushed out of the space shelf, completely converted into light and heat energy in the conventional space, like a sharp blade of light slashed through the ......
The giant bird screamed and was directly cut off by the light blade, and the black spaceship was also cut off by a third of the hull.
"That madman is finally dying, and he can last so long in the chaotic jump......" Xinglan didn't have time to care about the neurotic giant bird at the moment, because ...... There are big. Trouble!
Not just because the Discovery had been badly damaged, not because of the migratory bird that still had its breath, but because of where it was now......
Darkness, the Discovery was spiraling around a spherical cloud of darkness, gradually approaching the centerland.
The giant bird could no longer grasp the ship, and its massive body, which had been cut in half, broke away and fell in a spiral with the Explorer in a central spiral......
"Letter...... The signal is distorted......" Xinglan thought intermittently, "the time difference is growing...... The tidal force is so strong......"
The metal shattered into countless fragments under the weight of the weight, shattering into atoms in a huge gravitational drop, and then the atoms gradually disintegrated......
"Why is this jump so unlucky? Is it because the jump engine is ruined? Xinglan looked at the starry sky that was distorted like an oil painting that had been randomly smeared by her fingers, and felt that she had crossed a layer of boundary, "It's actually a black hole......
It seemed that a bright light was faintly visible, and then, the infinite darkness engulfed everything.
β¦β¦
When the light returned, Lan Xing was in front of him.
