345 Dark Canopy

From the Horsehead Empire to the Falling Stars, this is a very long distance, and there are four medium-sized cosmic countries in between, each of which has a territory no less than the Horsehead Empire. And this transport ship of the fallen stars seems to have a good relationship with these empires, not only has it been troubled along the way, but it has also done some small business along the way.

The transport ship arranged by the Styx is not large, and the actual length of the ship is only more than 400 meters, but the indicators of this transport ship are very good, just from the distance of this spaceship's space folding, you can know that his engine has caught up with the standard of military warships.

A space fold can advance 18 light years, which is almost catching up with the travel speed of the military's fast assault warships, you must know that the fastest warship in the Matou Empire, a space fold is only 21 light years away.

Impermanence never expected that there was a strong heart inside the tattered shell, and the falling stars really lived up to their reputation.

Nineteen times after the space was folded, Impermanence finally saw the gate of the falling stars, and the captain stretched out his hand in the command cabin and pointed to the deepest part of the meteorite belt in front of him, and said excitedly, "Look, it's there." It is the Gate of Fall, the only spatial passage for the fallen stars, and this is the most dangerous pirate paradise in the universe......"

Impermanence and the brothers craned their necks and watched for a long time, only to realize that there were several small warships cruising in the space ahead, as if guarding something.

"This is the Gate of the Fall, and you rely on such a small military liliang to protect this space passage?" Qian Falcon couldn't help but ask.

The captain proudly straightened his chest, "Joke, who else in this universe dares to attack the fallen stars? Besides, at the end of the space passage is the Star of Piracy, where are some of the ships with great achievements docked, who dares to come in?

Listening to the captain's tone, Impermanence finally knew how arrogant this group of pirates really was, and how many enemies had to be taught to have such confidence?

Since Impermanence came to this universe, he has put a lot of energy into learning the knowledge of this universe. Impermanence knew that the so-called spatial passage was not distinguishable by the naked eye, it was just a safety gap in the middle of the dark canopy, and the space folding engine could safely work in it.

What exactly is the Dark Canopy? Impermanence once asked Ryan, and Ryan replied very directly, "The Dark Canopy is nothing, it is simply an intangible and insubstantial thing, and you can't observe it with the naked eye." Before the invention of the space folding engine, humans had no idea of the existence of the dark canopy......"

"Later, when mankind had a space folding engine, the era of space exploration began, and it was at this time that people discovered that space folding engines could not be used in all space environments. In some strange spaces, the engine will be inexplicably disturbed, for example, it is clear that a space fold can advance ten light years, but in that environment, it can only advance one light year......"

"It's as if there's a weird magnetic field in the universe that's interfering with the space engine. Countless scientists tried to solve this problem, but they all failed, until Zuihou all mankind gave up completely, and since then, people have called this kind of unfriendly haode area, collectively known as the dark canopy ......"

Old man Lane's explanation is easy to understand, and there are some interesting anecdotes in the history of human development of the universe, and of course, those explorers who sang and cried, and used the white bones to draw a map of the current universe. To this day, on paper maps of the universe, the dark canopy area still depicts white bones and skeletons.

The dark canopy exists in the universe, and the thickness of the smaller scale is tens of light years, this kind of canopy is still relatively safe, and large warships can still break through as long as they bring enough energy bars. But those dark canopies with a thickness of hundreds or even thousands of light-years cannot be broken through by human beings.

There hasn't been a single warship in the universe that has folded the space thousands of times without supplies. This kind of large dark canopy, once you get in, you don't want to get out, and the fate of the spaceship is to use up all energy and become a tin coffin in space.

In order to encourage human exploration, all mankind has agreed that the explorers who are the first to explore the unknown planet will have the privilege of naming the family forever in addition to the naming right.

For example, Thunderlock on the Left Bank Heavenly Star, his ancestors were the explorers who discovered the Left Bank Heavenly Star, and as a result, the Thunderlock family became a native nobleman on the Left Bank Heavenly Star. And according to the grapevine, this kind of aristocratic status is protected by the alliance of nobles, so the general regime will not touch the titles of these people.

Although the dark canopy has affected the progress of human development of the universe, it is also beneficial, especially by politicians, who have found that the dark canopy is a natural barrier between countries. A country can be very weak, but as long as they can hold the space channel for external communication, then even the largest empire will be helpless.

This is the main reason why there are hundreds of countries in the universe. As for the so-called three holy empires, one of the most important things about them is that the space star field they are in is very special, and in the territory of those three countries, there is not much dark sky at all, and the space fleet can drive at will.

It is precisely because of this space environment that after tens of millions of years of war, three great empires were finally formed, and because the strength was too strong, it slowly became the so-called holy empire in people's mouths.

Just when Impermanence's thoughts were in turmoil, the Qiming transport ship had already carefully passed through the meteorite belt and slowly approached the Gate of Fall, a famous space passage in the universe.

The pirates still retained the light signal communication that the ancients loved until now, and the indicator light on the Qiming transport ship began to send messages to the patrol warship in a flash, although Impermanence didn't know what he was talking about, but five minutes later, the Qiming had already been activated, and entered the invisible space passage in front of him.

"The Gate of Fall, the thickness is 120 light years, let's try to increase the power of the engine, and strive for six space folds, so that you can see the ......Star of Piracy."

As he spoke, the transport ship was ready to fold the space, and the water ripples in the space appeared again, and the Qiming spacecraft drilled into it.

The space folds quickly, almost 20 light-years away in the blink of an eye. But there was an accident in the space folding this time, when the spacecraft had just appeared in the new airspace, Impermanence suddenly covered his heart with his hand, his whole face turned pale, and he leaned on the console of the command module, and was about to fall.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Lu Li beside him grabbed Impermanence, but Impermanence waved his hand desperately, and said in his mouth, "Don't touch me, let me lean for a while, don't touch me......"

Impermanence's body became softer and softer, and began to slide down little by little, and Mary quickly stuffed a chair under Impermanence's ass. When Impermanence sat in the chair, people noticed that his pale face suddenly turned rosy again. Impermanence closed his eyes, his eyeballs kept rolling, and his facial expression was actually surprised and amazed.

At this time, the captain of the Qiming was also at a loss, of course he knew that Impermanence was a distinguished guest of Lord Styx, and he heard that Master Thief had also mentioned Impermanence's name. He must not have any problems here, this responsibility is not something that ordinary people can bear.

At this time, Impermanence's heart had turned over the river, and the familiar feeling he had once resurfaced, as if he had seen some wonderful scenes.

It was a dilapidated spaceship, driving alone in the universe, and the flickering lights on the hull were only a dozen or so lights together, and the whole spaceship looked like a coffin. When you look closer, you can see that at the tail of the ship, something very small has been thrown out of the hull, and on closer inspection, it is actually a cold corpse.

Although there is no sound in the picture, and Impermanence cannot see the scene inside the spaceship, Impermanence can feel the bleakness of the whole scene. This is definitely a desperate spaceship, maybe the next second the spaceship will burn up a little energy, and no one will be able to survive at that time.

However, just when the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, a planet appeared in front of the spaceship, and the light of the stars was flickering farther away from the planet. At that moment, the lights on the spaceship suddenly brightened, the light of the tail engine was flourishing, and the entire spaceship flew quickly towards the blue planet.

I don't know how to do it, Impermanence clearly knows that this planet is the Thief Star he is about to arrive, and the scene in front of him is what it will be like after humans first discovered this planet.

The images in Impermanence's mind began to fast forward, one spaceship after another passed through this passage, human footprints began to appear on the blue planet, and civilization had appeared.

Along with the emergence of civilization, of course, there is war, which is the root of human inferiority is estimated to not change for hundreds of millions of years, first on the planet, human beings killed each other, and cities were destroyed. Immediately after that, more and more warships in space gathered, and there were even thousands of warships from both sides in Zuihou to bombard each other in space.

Impermanence was completely dumbfounded, and he suddenly felt that the battle between the Horsehead Empire and the Hunter Empire was a child's play, look at these early cosmic pioneers, this is called real generosity, this is called wildness. The light cannons weave a web of fire in the dark universe, and the fire of the battleship's explosion can even blind the eyes of humans.

Endless meteor showers fell on the blue planet, all of which were spectacular fireworks from the wreckage of battleships piercing the atmosphere. Countless precious cargoes fluttered across the universe with the blast wave of the explosion, and while some of them became the victors' trophies, countless others drifted into the dark canopy, which was the forbidden area for all ships.

It wasn't until Zuihou, when those desperate warships rushed into the dark sky without hesitation and chose to commit suicide, that the dream of impermanence finally woke up. He jumped to his feet, sweating profusely, and he grabbed the captain beside him and asked.

"How many wars has this space passage experienced? Is there the wreckage of warships in the dark canopy around the passage?"

The captain never expected that impermanence would ask such a question, and he was stunned for a long time before he could react, and quickly nodded desperately, just like a chicken eating rice.

"Ahh......h
