Red Moon ...... No, it should be called Blue Moon by now.

The faint blue and mysterious light filled the heaven and earth, making this desolate and dead world seem to be thrown into a cold tomb, and the blue light curtain around me suddenly made me have a very strange association, this world world is like a morgue.

Shaking my head and putting the strange thought behind me, I smiled soothingly at Tosaka and Ilya, who were running towards me in panic.

"It's okay, it's a little celestial anomaly, it looks like I'm busy."

"Big brother, is that moon going to explode?" Ilya said in horror, peeking at the huge moon in the sky that had turned dark blue and was expanding and contracting in a visible amplitude, "I saw that the soldiers around me were nervous. ”

"Don't worry, the Imperial fleet will take care of everything, we have fought the galaxy destruction battle," I gently pressed on Ilya's little head, well, it feels so good, "Tosaka, don't run around for the time being, my scientists are analyzing the situation...... Tavel, are the results out? ”

"As you wish, Your Majesty," in such a strange and critical situation, Tavel could still have a bright smile on his face that a research madman can only show when facing a precious specimen, "It's ghost, sure enough, it's an unprecedented energy reaction on the surface of the giant moon of ghostly energy, look at this, your majesty, this is the radiation reading of the red moon turning into a blue moon in the past few minutes-"

Tavel said, moving a floating window of information in front of me.

"Wow, good advanced alien uncle, can you even understand this?" Tosaka was immediately surprised.

My nostrils turned to the sky: "Hmph, as the head of state, I just need to issue orders, these technical things ......"

"It looks like the energy waveform has been reversed," Sandora nodded as she looked at the painfully complicated data chart, "The sea of unknown energy on the surface of the red moon has become a sea of ghostly energy. ”

Baby, are you comparing yourself to me?

Ignoring Tosaka's instantly weird face and Ilya's little animal's "poof" and smiling faux pas, I coughed twice and said with a serious expression, "What do you mean?" ”

Sandora rolled her eyes: "In other words, the original layer of red energy on the surface of the red moon has just undergone a chain reaction and turned into pure high-concentration ghost energy. ”

"And the intensity of the energy is amazing," Tavel added, "The high concentration of spectral energy has almost formed a state similar to plasma, and the current surface of the giant moon is like a star that is reacting wildly, of course, if it is spectral energy, it will be even more terrifying than the energy on the surface of the star, but due to the constraints of the giant moon itself, these energies have basically not left the surface of the star, but only those energy that leaks out, and the strength of each flame is no less than the full force bombardment of a battleship's main gun, Two of our exploration ships crashed and one was heavily damaged under the onslaught of these ghostly 'cannon fire's. ”

"Why?" I looked up at the huge moon that had turned dark blue, the boiling energy storm on its surface was faintly visible on the ground, it looked like dirty woolen material, the whole "moon" covered almost half of the sky, its edges were constantly shaking and expanding due to various atmospheric refraction phenomena, and at first glance, it really looked like what Ilya feared: it wouldn't explode, would it?

"I'm very sorry for my majesty," Tavel said with an embarrassed look on his face, "We still don't know anything, the energy intensity on its surface is too amazing, and the density is extremely high, the energy binding system inside the giant moon has solidified all the energy on its surface, causing every inch of the outer shell of the heavenly body to burn with the equivalent of the gun chamber of the battleship's main gun, and the interference has far exceeded the filtering capacity of our existing analysis equipment, and the host array of Shadow City has been connected, but their calculations are also difficult. ”

I know that Tavir's words are not an excuse, as a serious and dedicated scientific researcher, even she can say such words as "difficult", which shows how troublesome the "moon" is.

What I'm most curious about now is, what is that thing hanging in the sky for?

Weapons? Spaceship? Base? Or something else?

In the past, the Xiling Empire was at the peak of technology, and they could create almost anything, but what was the purpose of a celestial body that was the size of a small planet and completely formed by super-strength energy?

"Could it just be an energy reactor?" Even Sandora was confused, but she still voiced her guesses, "I've never heard of such a ghost reactor in the Empire, but it really looks too much like an energy furnace now, and it doesn't seem to be very stable......"

I don't know if it's the effect of the crow's mouth, as soon as Sandora's voice fell, the blue moon really broke out.

The blue moonlight in the sky suddenly became several times stronger, and the entire heaven and earth almost turned blue and white, and at the same time, a light blue energy shield fell from the sky, protecting the entire outpost and even the more than ten kilometers long Hyperion in the air behind the outpost. The rough and bulky Hyperion was nothing of a technical skill compared to it.

It is a scientific research ship from the Empire that was converted from an expeditionary-class warship.

It was the ship that Tavel had brought with him a few hours earlier, and while the latter was busy adjusting the sensors on the ground, it had been hovering in low-Earth orbit to serve as an information platform between the Red Moon probe and the ground station, and when the outbreak began, the ship reacted in time, leaping over time to establish an energy shield above us.

At the same time, a piercing siren sounded throughout the station: "Serious Warning, Serious Warning, Detection of the highest level of ghostly energy, judged to be the main gun of the Imperial Cruiser, judged to be the main gun of the Imperial Cruiser, attack of all personnel into combat positions......"

There was a "bang" of gunshots, and I followed the sound to see Tykes not far away knock down the loudspeaker that hung on the flagpole to set off the alarm.

"Boss, if you can, I really hope you can help us improve our artificial intelligence skills, this idiot-like automatic alarm system is even more stupid than Megatron"

He's still bothering to find that bad luck alarm - can anyone explain to me Megatron's IQ?

Outside the energy shield, the earth has long become a purgatory, the blue-white light falling from the sky looks magnificent, but it contains the energy to destroy everything, the rocks and land as far as the eye can see have melted, and even directly turned into steam, the earth is melting at an alarming speed, like ice cubes placed on a red-hot iron plate, the gravitational force has obviously been unbalanced, there are large clumps of rocks in a molten state out of the ground, rushing towards the blue and white giant moon in the sky, although with the protection of the spaceship shield, The ground beneath our feet was still shaking violently, suggesting that the entire geological structure was on the verge of collapse under the light of this massive amount of spectral energy.

And such a terrible situation immediately caught the attention of Renault and Tex, and almost instantly, they reacted: even with the protection of the Imperial warships, this place is almost over

"Quickly abandon the outpost bunker siege tank deformation, come back with the nearest marines, the ground is going to melt, the little bunnies are running" Tex stood in the open space of the outpost that was chaotic due to the landslide, and loudly assisted Renault in directing the soldiers to retreat, "All go back to the mothership, move faster, speed up the action, speed up the action, the empire is only here, there is only one research ship here, it has limited time for us, if you don't want to become ashes in this hellish place, run for me quickly"

Although the words were rude, Tyx's command was effective, under the dual threat of the mountains and rivers outside the shield instantly melting into a torrent of rolling magma and the shield above their heads constantly bursting with energy sparks, the Marines burst out with Liu Xiang's potential, wearing tons of power armor not only walking like flying but also climbing and jumping omnipotently, in the face of ammunition boxes or armor plates in front of them, they jumped on the spot with their legs, one side of the body did the back jump, and some jumped and stepped to do the hurdle jump, There are also hand in hand to do wings and fly and jump together......

Are the instructors of these marines all Imperial soldiers?

The energy burst of the blue moon has reached its peak, which is equivalent to the energy torrent continuously irradiated by the battleship's main guns, which is enough to evaporate a layer of the earth's crust even if it is launched at such a distance from the lunar orbit, and a research ship, even if it is the chief researcher's "royal car", it is impossible to be indestructible under the energy bombardment of this scale, fortunately, Renault's soldiers transferred extremely quickly, and before the shield of the research ship was exhausted, all the personnel had returned to the Hyperion and the Imperial research ship respectively, and then completed the jump against the energy storm.

A minute later, the far side of the Earth.

"Wow, wow, wow~~ What a beautiful spaceship, wow"

Ilya's continuous exclamations echoed on the bridge, perhaps because she had never valued her life since she was a child, and the thrilling experience just now did not frighten her at all, but Tosaka, who was now leaning back in his seat with a pale face, panting.

"Uncle Alien, seriously, it's horrible to be with you......"

"Little girl, it looks like you're just a civilian," Tavel tilted his head slightly to look at the strange girl, "such a thing is not even a small spark compared to the war that His Majesty once led. ”

"Ahh......h I thought the so-called Holy Grail War I had experienced was already ...... It doesn't seem to be worth mentioning to you. ”

If you're serious with the guys outside the specs, you'll lose.

"Take the image from the outside." Sensing that the ship's vibrations had subsided, I tapped on the armrest of my seat and commanded the controllers in the control hall below.

According to the conventional design of the Imperial warship, in the upper part of the command hall is the officer platform we are on, and in front of the platform, there is a large holographic projection system, when the thrilling picture is presented on it, even Ilya, who has been unable to calm down, finally honestly returned to his seat.

We are now on the back side of the "Earth", where a small part of it is on the sunny side, and the earth in front of us is a deep black-red, even if a third of it is under the light of the sun, it always carries a sense of dilapidated grayness, and the surface of the star body ravaged by the red moon is covered with faint cracks, like an ancient clay bottle, and at the edge of the dark side of the planet, near the horizon, a dazzling blue-white band of light is constantly shining, One has the illusion that there is another sun rising.

"The energy burst of the giant moon has reached its peak, and now one-third of the crust of the shadow earth has been exposed to its light, and it is expected that in ten minutes, that part of the earth's crust will be in a state of semi-melting, and the appearance of the shadow earth will be changed forever - if it still exists after that," Tavel quickly reported to us the latest developments of the blue moon, "This destruction has been analyzed and confirmed that it is not a dedicated attack on the stars, it should only be a leak caused by the energy imbalance of the giant moon itself, that is, what we have seen so far, It's just the aftermath of the Giant Moon eruption. ”

"How strong can that thing's energy be?" I asked the question that I was most concerned about right now, and even if I didn't understand the professional stuff that I usually didn't understand, I could still slightly imagine the threat of a planet composed entirely of spectral energy and several times larger than the moon.

"The energy intensity per unit area far exceeds the surface of the sun, and the total amount of energy cannot be calculated, but it certainly exceeds any kind of energy furnace we can currently make," Tavel's tone was very serious, "Although it cannot be measured, the most conservative estimate, after removing the possible control devices in its core, the volume of the giant moon itself is at least two-thirds of the volume of a dense ghost energy sea, and its energy is very likely to be a device like the endless ghost energy abyss, even if its volume is only a few tens of millions of times the sun, once it erupts, It will also surpass the power of the sun, but the moon is still in fragile balance, and some kind of energy stabilizing device in its body prevents it from overflowing, but as you can see, the device is in fact damaged, and the moon has begun to leak - theoretically. ”

Whenever Tavel declares that "it is so in theory", it means that it is the case.

"In other words, once that energy source explodes, the Realm of the Universe will be wiped out under the energy storm that far exceeds the explosion of the supernova," Sandora squinted slightly, "If the Giant Moon is the controlling core of this runaway shadow space, then what will be followed by the simultaneous collapse of the shadow space-Tavel, if the shadow space of this scale collapses, what is the chance that the fragments will be connected to the real world?" ”

"More than fifty percent."

"There's a half-chance that we'll end up in the world," Sandora frowned, "I don't like playing dice, Jun, and we've got to find a way to stop that object." ”

I want to, too, but the problem is that now it's a problem for us to even get close to it

Every square inch of surface has an energy intensity equivalent to the main gun of a battleship, and if you want to force a landing under such terrifying radiation, I am afraid that even the Eternal class, or even the Glory Starship, will have to be burned through, after all, it is a ghostly energy

Although I couldn't understand what we were talking about, the terrifying scene of the entire planet slowly transforming in the blue flames in front of me and the "end of the world" mentioned by Sandora just now were really in front of us, and even Ilya, who was so naïve that she lacked common sense, turned pale, let alone Tosaka's expression.

"Maybe it's not completely impossible to land," Tavel hesitated for a moment, and then carefully said, "According to the conjectures of his subordinates, the energy riot of the giant moon has a certain period, its regular state is the red moon, although the inverted ghost energy on the surface is strong but relatively stable, and the range of harmful radiation is only a thousand kilometers, beyond this distance, even the spaceship of the New Eden Federation can be safe and sound, and the energy on the surface of the blue moon state is activated into ghost energy, even if it does not explode, we can't get close at all, But this state shouldn't last long...... According to my inference, it should have reverted to a red moon a day later, when it ......"

Shandora raised her eyes, "You mean, to land when the giant moon is red - but you said it yourself, at that time it only bound energy to a thousand kilometers of the surface, and at that distance, our landing ship still couldn't get close. ”

"No, it's not that it's completely unapproachable...... Theoretically......" Tavel said cautiously, then stole a glance at me.

"I can get close," I understood, "as long as it's not a rampaging Blue Moon state, I can enter it." ”

With a crisp sound of metal breaking, Sandora actually pinched the superalloy armrests of the seat into powder, and then looked at Tavel with a sharp gaze: "You actually proposed to let Ah Jun enter a rampaging energy furnace alone?" ”

"It's just a theoretically feasible solution." Tavel immediately became nervous, she knew very well what kind of actions Her Majesty would make if she proposed such a plan.

"I'm supposed to throw you in the furnace for this plan alone."

"Sandora," I suddenly pressed the shoulder of the girl beside me, quieting the already angry girl for a moment, "you have to admit that this is the only way to go, and it just sounds dangerous, and the Void Energy is nothing to me, let alone a small ghost reactor. ”

"But that's different," Sandora's tone didn't have the slightest room for looping, "Ah Jun, I know that your abilities are very strong, but there is a limit, what if it suddenly explodes when you go deep into the center of the moon?" The energy of the giant moon is far more powerful than what we see now, it just didn't explode due to the internal constraints, once such a ghostly celestial body collapses, the energy storm formed can even tear through the energy storm of the strength of the void, can you be safe and sound? And what you just said also admitted that in the Blue Moon state, even your abilities can't penetrate that astral shell......"

Sandora said in a hurried tone, but I only responded with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll go in with a jingle bell."

Then Sandora was gone.

"Okay, Jun, you won.
