Chapter Twenty-Three: The Coming ...... of the Great Crisis

After a hundred years of confusion and strolling on the coast, the brightest star suddenly appeared in the sky.

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

How long has it been?

Standing on a gentle stretch of land jutting out into the sea, Xinglan looked out at the ocean that was still surging in the distance.

I don't remember exactly...... Probably a few hundred years, well, it should be.

The blue-haired girl turned lightly and looked at the shoreline behind her, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

If it's a beach, you'll probably leave a long, long footprint. After all, since Xiao Cheng went into hibernation, Xinglan had been walking along the coastline. In fact, she herself didn't know why she kept walking like this, she just kept walking......

If it weren't for nuclear power, the robot's body would have lost its power long ago. However, even so, the body began to show some wear and tear under the continuous erosion of the atmosphere...... Judging from the positioning of the signal sub in space, Xinglan walked almost half of the coastline of the Pangu Continent on foot.

This kind of walking is not like the one that can be seen all the way around the world like in later generations, in fact, it is quite boring. There are no sandy beaches, no plants, no life, and the long coastline is full of rocks of various shapes, constantly polished by the crashing of the waves.

Nothing has changed, and even if microbes have been added to the ocean, it will take at least a thousand years for them to completely transform the environment of the entire planet...... No, maybe a little bit of a change.

Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, which had been adjusted to purple due to boredom...... Although Xiao Cheng mischievously added the setting of the ruby laser, it was not difficult to change the external color, and the built-in optical components in the pupil rotated and deformed, presenting the scenery farther away.

Above the boundless sea, that's ...... A little green.

"Have you bred here?" The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the girl showed a happy smile, "Planktonic algae~"

After all, the body of a robot is a machine, and there is no near-perfect sensory organ like a living being, and different stimuli from the outside world only respond mechanically to various electrical signals. This made Xinglan very dissatisfied, but what if she invaded the nervous system of a creature like an invasion circuit...... It will definitely burn out the fragile nerve cells in an instant, and the microscopic manipulation ability of the signal on it is difficult to improve.

And even if he could manipulate the energy at the level of nerve current, it would be impossible for Xinglan to manipulate a small cell, after all, this simple single-cell or multicellular biological structure has no nerves at all.

These miniature plankton don't have complex thoughts, they just respond mechanically to external stimuli.

"If you want to wait for the more advanced creatures to evolve, you'll have to wait a long time." Xinglan sighed softly, "Unconsciously, I'm really not as patient as I used to be. ”

Stopping and moving on, the girl sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, staring at the looming green of the distant sea, smiling all the time, as if greatly satisfied.

Lan Xing, I like you, you are mine.

Before you know it, night falls quietly, and the fiery red Gangli and purple Qingli appear at both ends of the sky at the same time, shining with dreamlike beautiful colors, setting off this place as if it is a fairy tale world.

"It's a pity ......" Seeing that the sea surface also turned dark, Xinglan couldn't help but feel sorry for the fact that there were no large swaths of luminescent plankton at this time, otherwise she would have been able to see the wonderful scenery of the fluorescent sea, but ......

"That's not bad." Xinglan lay on the rock, looking up at the sky.

The most primitive atmosphere without any pollution! The endless starry sky was lit up in the night sky, and the starry light was connected into two huge arcs intertwined at the ends of the sky, and in the center of the two arcs, which resembled an ellipse, a large field of dazzling silver light formed a shining sphere. At a rough glance, it looks like a huge silver eye looking down on the earth......

This is not the Milky Way where the Earth is located, but the general shape is still about the same. Although there is no Milky Way across the sky as Xiao Cheng said, Xing Lan, who has already roughly mapped the star map, knows that the two huge arcs are the upper and lower plane edges of this huge galaxy, and the silver star in the center is the ...... of this galaxy Core Cluster.

The star system in which Xinglan is located is closer to the center of the galaxy than the edge of the galaxy.

Eyes of the sky, I feel like this setting is still good.

Although the robot didn't need to sleep, Xinglan still lazily closed her eyes and rolled on the rocks, rubbing her face by the way...... If it weren't for the robot's body, it would definitely hurt enough.

Well, it's a little boring...... Wait a minute! How does it feel?

Xinglan looked up at the sky in surprise, the feeling just now...... Signal N Passive Activation? And it's a signal at the farthest point from the star?

Since changing into a robot body, Xinglan has not taken the initiative to perceive the signals in outer space, after all, the construction of the star system has been completed, and all that remains is to wait. As for those planet-makers, they have only turned off the power and wandered aimlessly in space.

However, the instinctive stimulation signal of the signal sub is still retained, but this kind of automatic reporting of major events has only happened twice, once when Xinglan was still in a daze in the stars, the arrival of the unmanned exploration ship, and once when Xiao Cheng arrived on the nova, is it ...... Another visitor from the outside world?

Seems unlikely, huh? Xing Lan shook her head, the probability of the arrival of spaceships from other civilizations is very small, there is a gap of tens of millions of years between the first two times, and now it has been hundreds of years since Xiao Cheng arrived last time.

Well, whatever it is, since there is a reaction, it means that there is a situation, so let's see.

Even when looking at the starry sky, Xinglan does not use the signal pros that are farthest away from the star, but keeps them in a low-energy dormant state, because there is so little energy there.

However, at the critical moment, Xinglan will not hesitate.

Because even the dormant state needs to consume a certain amount of energy to maintain its own high-dimensional structure, the signal prons cannot drift infinitely away, in fact, the farthest signal pro has floated out of the distance of two or three light years by relying on the relay method, and the farther signal sub will completely lose its ability to wake up unless it encounters a new energy source.

The reaction is coming from about three light-years away from the star system, and it is still spreading at the speed of light...... What the hell is it?

Xinglan closed her eyes, and her subjective mind quickly moved at hyperspace speed through a network of quantum-entangled signal subnets.

……

Incomparably far away from the boundaries of galaxies, several light-years away from the boundaries of galaxies, completely exposed to the environment of interstellar winds, this is true interstellar space.

The sparse signalns slowly begin to move, they gradually converge together, slowly deform, and then combine into a complete optical sensor, which uploads the external perspective to the signal subnetwork through quantum entanglement.

The dark cosmic starry sky came into view, and with no atmospheric obscuration and a huge aperture optical detector composed of signal molecules, the number of stars that Xinglan could observe here far exceeded that that could be seen on Lan.

But at this moment, the starry sky did not attract Xinglan's attention in the slightest, and she discovered the abnormal problem almost instantly, because it was too conspicuous!

Under the dark canopy, in the sparkle of the stars, it was light, far more dazzling than the stars behind him!

An incomparably dazzling light came from the depths of the universe, it was so bright, like a huge white ball of light in the depths of the starry sky, surpassing the light of all other stars and even galaxies!

"This ......" Xinglan was about to look more closely, when suddenly his eyes darkened, and the picture disappeared, and it turned out that the signal there had finally exhausted the few amounts of energy.

But there is no need to consider other possibilities, you know, there is only one possibility for the appearance of this brightness!

Interrupting the remote connection to the exophon, Xinglan stood up from the rock, looked at the starry sea under the two bright moons, and muttered to herself, "Actually...... Supernova explosion? ”

Seem...... A little bit unpleasant?

Although supernova explosions were not uncommon, and she had even seen them many times in her billions of years of life before Xinglan, she had never seen such a bright supernova.

This shows that the location of this supernova explosion is very close to this star system, and correspondingly, the impact will be much greater!

If it was before, Xinglan would have ignored these supernovae, anyway, this situation would not last, it would disappear completely in a few months at most, and with a star as the main body, she didn't care about the powerful energy impact of the supernova, at most, the signal interference was a little troublesome......

But it's different now......

Xinglan began to mobilize the signaling prons of the entire star system, quickly analyzed and compared the data just now, and the super computing power quickly gave the result: according to this brightness estimate, when the energy of the supernova explosion reaches the interior of the galaxy, the planet that has not begun to use it at all will ignore it for the time being, but the strong gamma-ray burst is not at all something that Lanxing's planetary magnetic field can resist! This high-energy radiation is powerful enough to kill all the microorganisms that have just begun to thrive on the planet, and severely damage the structure of the atmosphere. Moreover, even the electric cloud gas on the periphery of the Death Attack is estimated to be severely damaged, and with the terrifying penetration of gamma rays, it may even damage the base equipment buried deep underground, which is not good!

The more I thought about it, the more terrifying Xing Lan decided that he couldn't sit still, this is my territory, the life planet that I worked so hard to design, even if you are a supernova, you are not allowed to destroy it, let alone the possibility of harming Xiao Cheng!

If Xinglan erupts into a stellar storm with all his might, it is not impossible to compete with these supernova radiation that have gone through a long journey, but the damage caused to Lanxing may be even greater, so brute force cannot be used this time!

Perhaps thankfully, even if a supernova explodes, its energy transfer strictly adheres to the speed of light limit, giving Xinglan time to prepare for a gamma-ray burst before it reaches the interior of the star system...... But it's not much use to have a lot of time! You must know that the most effective way to weaken gamma rays is naturally heavy element defense, but it is impossible to wrap two planets in heavy elements!

There are still three years to go, Xiao Cheng has already entered dormancy, and now he can only rely on himself to make suggestions!

In a hurry, Xinglan only had a trace of consciousness left to control the robot's body on the surface of Lanxing, and she didn't even have time to let the robot return to the Dead, she quickly connected a large amount of consciousness to the signal subnetwork of the entire star system.

Let's start speeding up the copy!

The star's light is slightly dimmed, and a large amount of energy is absorbed, stored, and replicated by the signaln, which then allows more signalns to join the process......
