The wreckage drifts in the unfamiliar starry sky, and the energy crisis in the frozen outer ring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Against a dark background, the distance between each atom in the vacuum becomes very large, and only light can show information from afar in the thin material world, which is a brilliant picture of the starry sky.

This was the image that Xinglan saw when she first connected to those sudden signals, not the interior of a star filled with a sea of violent energy, but a quiet starry sky of the universe, a starry sky that seemed completely unfamiliar to her.

Originally, Xinglan was full of doubts, for her who can completely control the signal subnetwork, there is no way that there will be a signal that is out of control, and the existence of any signal sub will not be missed, and although an existence similar to her like Yuchen has a similar structure, it is like there are no two natural humans with the same genes, and there will be no same quantum frequency between different signal subnetworks...... It can even be said that the same thing as quantum frequencies does not exist even by coincidence, so theoretically there should be no new signal in the quantum network, except for actively absorbing energy to replicate itself.

However, these signal subs that suddenly appeared in Xinglan's perception were perfectly connected to the signal sub-network, as if they were originally part of the network, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

Xinglan also wondered if she could read the memory information about their existence from these new signals, but when she searched all the memory banks, she found that with the merging of those signals, the memory data did not increase at all!

There are only two possibilities, the first is that there is no memory information left in these signals, and they are as clean as a blank sheet of paper. The second possibility is that they have memories that are identical to some of the memories in the Starland's memory bank, and that they cover each other perfectly.

Since none of this can get more information, the only way to do this is to observe the environment around there, and Xinglan is very careful in assembling the photon capture net, which is unprecedented and cautious.

The reason is simple, she found that the number of these new signalns is not very large, and the energy reserves are almost depleted, if these signalns collapse and disappear due to a single call of energy, Xinglan will not be able to get to that place so easily again.

Although the cosmic starry sky is beautiful, but no more information can be obtained from such an unfamiliar starry sky, just as Xinglan was about to turn his perspective, a black fragment that looked very inconspicuous in the dark starry sky swayed and floated in front of him not far away......

In the first moment, Xinglan recognized the piece of black metal that she was very familiar with, and this was exactly what she exclaimed, "This can't be!" "The reason is because that piece of debris shouldn't be here...... It shouldn't even be in any corner of this world!

Fragments of the Discovery, floating in the unfamiliar starry sky.

You may not remember the Explorer alone, but if it is a spacecraft that has been attacked by a migratory bird, then everyone must be able to recall that this black spaceship equipped with the original jump engine was the first time it reached the magnetic ring island surrounded by red and blue stars.

"Do you mean ......?"

Controlling the excitement in her heart, Xinglan slowly turned her perspective, and sure enough, she saw a huge object floating in the cosmic vacuum not far away.

With its blue-black feathers, its silver octagonal protruding eyes, its slender legs and deep holes in the soles of its feet, and its wide wingspan that barely reflects any light, this is a creature full of beauty, the only fly in the ointment is that its body is no longer complete, but has been neatly cut in half in an instant, and here it is just a cold corpse.

Migratory Star Bird ...... Xinglan will never forget that this is the corpse of the migratory star bird that fell into the black hole with Discovery! It was indeed in this strange starry sky, so the origin of these signals suddenly became very clear, and it was obvious that they were those signals that fell into the black hole with the exploration ship back then!

fell into the horizon of a black hole...... Naturally, Xinglan did not have any hope for the survival of those signalns and the Explorer, but completely forgot about the existence of these signals, so when they were connected to the main network again, they would feel like they appeared out of nowhere.

Although it is not known what exactly happened in the black hole, seeing that these objects still maintain their basic structure, Xinglan guesses that they did not reach the black hole singularity at all, but collectively performed a space jump not long after entering the event horizon. Perhaps due to the strong space-time warp field, this space jump disturbed the timeline so much that they only returned to their normal world until now...... Even from Discovery's point of view, this is only a moment.

Since this long time is only a moment for these signals, it can be explained by the lack of new memories added to the memory bank, and the memories they possess are originally part of the Xinglan memory bank.

As for the reason for the space jump, whether it is the final return of the jump engine, the distortion of the spatial structure of the black hole itself, or both, it is impossible to know.

Xinglan even fantasized about whether these signals could reach other universes through some kind of wormhole, but this beautiful fantasy of cosmic travel was quickly shattered. After a simple measurement, Xinglan found that the various physical constants of the universe, which are the genes of the universe, have not changed, indicating that she is still in the original universe.

There is not much signal energy left, not to mention the increase in the number of self-replication, even the only ones left need to be replenished urgently, Xinglan looked around, this should not be an empty interstellar space, not far away can even see the golden brilliance of a star...... But the only problem is that the essence of signalon movement is to create a field that can transmit it, and the creation of this field will inevitably accelerate the collapse of energy, and in its current half-dead state, it will not be able to hold on to the star...... Even at the speed of light, it is not possible to get from the edge of a galaxy to the position of a star in a short time.

It's a bit troublesome, this is supposed to be the outer region of the star system, and it's a bit unrealistic to rely on light energy for replenishment, you say looking for the residual energy of the Explorer? What energy can you expect to be left in such a pile of crumbling wreckage?

Judging from the current situation, this is completely different from the speculative wormhole structure, and the exit of the channel is neither a black hole nor a theoretical white hole, but an empty galaxy edge...... If it's near a black hole, you might even get some of the energy from gamma rays.

"Could it be that this space passage is a one-way line...... muttered a little dissatisfied, Xinglan didn't dare to make too much movement to avoid running out of energy in advance, so she could only turn her perspective to observe the starry sky, "It's really difficult to find a suitable energy source in this Kuiper belt-like environment." ”

A young main-sequence star, full of the vitality of the prime.

After easily analyzing the state of the galaxy's stars from the spectrum, Xinglan didn't have time to observe the planets here, and the low-frequency scanning of the surrounding signals revealed a very close anomalous object.

Note that due to the lack of energy, the signal probe is only actively scanning the space at a low frequency, which means that the anomalous object is really, really close, even within a few kilometers! From an interstellar perspective, this distance is simply close at hand.

"It's ...... What is it? ”

In this case, figuring out this newly emerging ancient monster is naturally more important than exploring the distribution of star systems, but when Xinglan curiously turns her perspective to look at the unknown object, she is surprised by the image that catches her eye, and then surprise.

A slender silver cylindrical object was floating silently next to a frozen asteroid, and although the dark solar panels on both sides could not be seen, the tiny vents on the surface already indicated its identity as a technological creation, and a silver wavy mark on the top surface that bent three arcs made Xinglan even more excited.

It's a space vehicle that clearly navigates the interior of a star system!

"Although there is no sign of activity in the engine, it is clear that the internal equipment is working properly." Xing Lan looked at the four dazzling flashing lights on the surface of this slender spacecraft emitting bursts of bright light pulses regularly, "The size is too small, and if this mode of operation is this, it should be an automatic device such as an unmanned satellite rather than a manned spaceship." ”

"And more importantly, the surface of this satellite uses intense light pulses to send flash signals...... Obviously, there is no need to use lamps for reporting on the situation in the space age, so it is likely that this is similar to a warning light for keeping a distance, that is to say......" Xinglan tried to calm his mood and subconsciously looked in the direction of the star, "There is a high-tech civilization in this star system that can carry out manned flights at the edge of the star system!" ”

Under the effect of inertia, the wreckage of the Discovery and the remnants of the migratory bird were approaching the orbit of the satellite, and the distance between the two sides soon approached within five kilometers, and Xinglan, who noticed this, suddenly had an idea to solve the current dilemma.

The satellite doesn't have solar panels, and installing solar panels on the edge of such a star system wouldn't do much, so it's likely that it uses nuclear batteries as a power source, if not as exaggerated as antimatter power.

Isn't the most lacking signal on the signal now energy? Anyway, judging from the current drifting trajectory, this satellite will soon collide with the wreckage of the Discovery and be destroyed, so it is better to make good use of its energy...... Xinglan made up her mind, and the signal that was originally floating next to the wreckage suddenly began to move, instantly crossing a distance of several kilometers to invade the circuit system of this unmanned satellite......

The nuclear battery energy supply system is starting to run overloaded!
