Chapter 490: Dark Domain
There are very few single meteorites in the astral plane, because they are easily captured by the nearest plane due to the mass of the individual meteorite.
But when meteorites form groups, their common mass allows them to resist the gravitational pull of the host facing them, making it possible for meteorite belts to appear in the astral plane.
And each meteorite also has a gravitational pull towards each other. After hundreds of millions of years of development in the astral plane, each meteorite in the meteorite belt has reached a balance with each other, allowing them to exist in the astral plane for a long time.
Not so long ago, however, the balance here in the meteorite belt was upset. A big battle between Alexandre Dumas and the elders of the Witch Realm in the vicinity caused a huge void storm, causing great damage to the environment here in the meteorite belt.
The balance that the meteorites had reached was starting to become fragile.
For an experienced Astral Ship Captain, or a Warship's Guardian, it is certain that they will try to navigate around this kind of area where there are safety hazards. Because the current meteorite belt is very different from the previous meteorite belt.
The current meteorite belt is like a high-rise building with its foundation hollowed out, and even the appearance of a gust of wind can cause it to fall apart.
What's more, they were hit twice by Andy's spaceship.
Boom!
Invisible vibration ripples spread throughout the meteorite belt, and the originally fragile balance was pressed into a straw again, and the meteorites were ready to move!
Boom!
The entire meteorite belt was slightly stunned, and then the meteorites from the outside world suddenly went berserk, and they began to rush aimlessly in the entire meteorite belt area like disorderly crazy children!
This is a pain for Andy, who piloted the Astral Spaceship, and he is now several times more difficult to pilot. Even if he concentrated all his attention, he could not guarantee that the entire battleship would be out unscathed.
What's more, his behavior of using infinite firepower to blast away the small meteorites blocking the way added fuel to the fire, and the meteorite group that had already become violent became even more violent after the vibration of the infinite firepower shelling.
Fortunately, after the strengthening of the crayfish carapace, the protection of the Hermons is extraordinary, although after a large number of collisions, the surface of the Hermons looks cratered, but the main structure of the ship has not been fatally damaged.
The ship still stumbled all the way out of the frenzied meteorite belt.
After the Hermons came out of the meteorite belt, Andy and Catherine couldn't help but feel a palpitation as they watched the scene of the violent meteorites crashing and destroying each other behind them.
Their luck was good, they rushed out of the meteorite belt before it became completely frenzied, if it was any later, they would probably be blocked by the meteorite and never be able to find a safe exit, and then they would only be able to be a live target in the meteorite belt.
When the spaceship entered the smooth flight again, Andy and his friends got together again, of course, at this time, the spaceship had become a little pudding. Although Little Pudding has no practical experience in spacecraft, she has already piloted tens of thousands of hours in chip simulations, and operating the Hermons is just a piece of cake for her.
But even the most subtle boat skills can't change the fact that they're lost now. Andy left the meteorite belt in a panic just now, causing the Hermons to completely lose its direction. The star field they are staying in now is already a place that their star map has not covered.
Even on the chip of the little pudding, there is no information about this astral void. In the astral plane, wizards call this completely unexplored astral space the dark realm, which is a place that the astral spacecraft has not explored at all, so it is not reflected in the star map.
Generally speaking, the astral regions recorded in the latest version of the star map circulated in the astral realm are called the bright realms, which only account for less than one-tenth of the entire astral void, and most of the dark realms that have not been explored by wizards are the main components of the astral realm.
In this part of the unexplored dark domain, there are many endless astral voids where there is nothing, even if the astral spaceship can't find the edge for decades, and because there is no reference, there is no way to distinguish between up and down, left and right, so many astral spaceships that break into this area will be lost in this void forever, like exile!
There are also some places where the space is very unstable, and terrifying void storms will form at every turn, even the top existence in the astral realm, if there is no need, they are not willing to easily set foot in this kind of place, because if they are not careful, they may capsize in the gutter.
Of course, there are some valuable areas that have not yet been explored by astral spaceships, after all, the real era of astral exploration has only been opened for thousands of years, and because of the scarcity of materials for astral spacecraft, people are far from exploring and perfecting the entire astral boundary, and there are still many dark areas waiting for the captains in the astral realm to explore, and then make star maps.
This kind of exploration of the Dark Realm to complete the Star Map is encouraged by the entire Star Boundary, and generally the captain who first publishes the unexplored Dark Domain Map to the Star Boundary, the relevant organizations in the Star Plane will acquiesce that he has the right to name the Dark Domain area he has explored.
The Astral Captains jokingly call this act of exploring the star field and turning the dark domain into a bright field called opening a map!
Of course, there are only a very few people in this world who are so selfless, and most of the Astral Captains will choose to explore the benefits of the Dark Domain first when they find valuable areas and make a fortune in silence. Unless the area is truly worthless, or they don't have the ability to exploit it, they will choose to publish it in exchange for honor and prestige.
Therefore, although the dark domain accounts for more than 90% of the current star maps used in the star plane, the proportion of the dark domain is much less than that announced to the public on the secret maps of various major forces, and even some star fields will be hidden by large organizations because they are too valuable, and the dark domain will be artificially created.
Andy: The star map they are using now is the alliance version that Little Pudding got from Little Pudding, which is very clear and detailed in the division of the alliance's star fields, but for the witch realm and the abyss part, it is purely the general road goods level on the star boundary.
So they are now stuck in the dark space, even if it is a little pudding, there is no too good way, but fortunately, her chip can still mark the location of their destination academy plane, so she can temporarily plan a star path for them!
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest!
That's right, Little Pudding is now following the path straight from where they are to the Academy plane.
It's a brand new starfall, and only God knows what they'll encounter!
