Chapter Ninety-Nine: Energy Stand-In
With the Meta Core, Zhang Qifan can manipulate energy just like the Hertzians. And his intelligence is also capable enough to recognize the star map.
Moreover, the full name of these heavenly gates is 'proximity positioning space transmitters', which means that the distance of the projection is not too far, and it is likely to be within a light-year range.
If it is in the range of a few hundred light years, Zhang Qifan may still hesitate, but within a range of one or two light years, there may be only one galaxy, which is more than enough with his intelligence.
Seeing Zhang Qifan sacrifice the Yuan Core, Batu guessed how he was prepared, which made Batu look at Zhang Qifan hesitantly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
After summoning the rest of their companions, Batu and the other four Hertzians descended to the bottom layer, each standing in a groove, and the energy of their whole bodies was collected.
The iron sheet on the body closes, reducing them to a prismatic metal object, and the bottom falls into the groove, just stuck inside.
Hum, the dropper vibrated slightly, and the patterns on the Hertzian shell lit up one after another.
Where the glimmer passed, the brittle material on the surface fluttered and fell straight down, revealing the primordial substance underneath, which seemed to have maintained its physical characteristics quite well, worthy of the creation of the Hertzians of the third-level civilization.
Soon, the transmitter was running to the extreme, and the faint light shimmered in those lines, making it look as beautiful as the starry sky.
Zhang Qifan hovered on the transmitter, and the Hertz people turned into the Yuan Core burst with electric energy on his body, and several arm-thick electric rays connected Zhang Qifan and the transmitter together, and the energy was constantly exchanged at the same time. It is also accompanied by a large amount of information.
A starry sky appeared in front of Zhang Qifan's eyes, and after careful identification, it was the star map taken by the Death Star for the coordinates.
All the stars in the entire river system are in relative motion. The position is changing all the time, so there is no concept of absolute coordinates in the star chart, only relative coordinates, and with relative coordinates, if you want to know the position of another star, you need to calculate accordingly.
For example, a star a light year away. When you capture its location with an optical instrument, that's already a year ago. Where has it been in this year's time? Precise calculations are required.
If you are traveling faster than the speed of light, you only need to calculate the range of a few light hours ahead, and the calculation is not very large.
But if it's a space jump, a jump of hundreds of light years. That's a lot to calculate. So if it weren't for the intelligent AI of Eun, Zhang Qifan wouldn't be able to open it even if he had a wormhole generator.
After Zhang Qifan glanced at the star map, he focused his attention on the star field near the Death Star, and the location of the projection would not be very far away.
Unfortunately, there should have been a record in the dropper, such as the location of the last drop. or a record of all deliveries since it was built. However, it may be because it is too long ago. All the records in it have been emptied, and you can only locate them slowly by yourself.
It took an hour for Zhang Qifan to find the suspected target at a distance of a moon from the Death Star.
It was a rocky star the size of the moon, hovering alone in the void, far away from the stars, with no light projected on it, making it like a ghost in the dark, and if it hadn't reacted to the focus of the transmitter, Zhang Qifan might have really ignored it.
Reacting to focus means that the star has a receiver for a transmitter on it.
For short-distance deliverers like this, there are generally two delivery modes, one is single-ended delivery and the other is point-to-point delivery.
Single-end delivery is like the previous 'Protoss', which is directly delivered with a transmitter, which has a drawback, that is, the positioning is not very accurate, and it can only be delivered to a general area.
If it is unfortunate that there are alpine rocks in this area, and you are very unlucky to appear in the rocks, if it is an ordinary human, it is estimated that you will immediately merge with the rocks and soil.
Point-to-point delivery is to set up a receiving terminal at the location that needs to be delivered, which is quite a coordinate, so that the delivered thing can accurately appear on the receiving end.
In many cases, the receiving end is also a transmitter, which can be delivered here and there. There is really no condition to set up a transmitter, so a small receiver can also be used.
When the transmitter is focused, the signal received is located inside the rocky star.
Zhang Qifan carefully adjusted, ready to connect to this receiver. Two circles were flashing in front of his eyes at the moment, one was green and larger, and the other was red and smaller.
The closer the two circles are and the more overlapping parts, the stronger the reaction.
It is estimated that the green circle will completely put the red circle, and the focus will be successful, right? Zhang Qifan said secretly in his heart, while trying to control the green circle and put it on the red circle.
The green circle accurately put the red circle in the middle, and the transmitter burst into a wave of flashes, and two plasma made of energy were released from the staggered cross on the top, shrinking towards the Hertz clone standing in the center.
The cross-shaped plasma shrank to the extreme, and disappeared directly in the most central position, along with Zhang Qifan's Hertzian clone.
The people present looked at each other, what was the situation? Why did you just teleport away without saying hello? Fortunately, it was only the Hertz clone condensed by the meta-core that was teleported away, and everyone was just surprised and panicked.
Batu was full of entanglement, sure enough, he was worried about this just now, Zhang Qifan was not familiar with the operation of the transmitter, and it was easy to make some unexpected situations. But thinking that it was a doppelganger anyway, he didn't say anything to remind him.
……
The bright light in front of Zhang Qifan's eyes flashed suddenly, and after the bright light faded, the scene in front of him had completely changed.
A building completely shaped like a space projector towers over a barren plain. The plains are made up of hard rocks with very little soil.
Occasionally, a small amount of dirt is overgrown with moss-like plants. The entire space was pitch black, with only a few kilometers ahead of it a few kilometers of dark red light peeking out from underground.
Under the reflection of these dark red lights, Zhang Qifan vaguely discerned that this was an unusually large underground space, with no end in sight in all directions, and all of it was submerged below the horizon.
There is a horizon in the underground space? How wide is that? The top can barely be seen upwards, and it is also a rock with the same texture as the ground.
After observing the surroundings, Zhang Qifan looked at himself again, and he still looked like a Hertzian person, but he could see at a glance that this was not the Hertzian clone he condensed with the elements.
How so? Why is my body being replaced?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Qifan realized something, and a word popped up in his heart - energy stand-in?
