"Space tidal eruption?!"

Hans's words fell, and there was a burst of exclamations in the room.

Xu Hui, Huo Ye, and Jia Quan, including Meng Lei, all widened their eyes and looked at Hans in disbelief.

Several of them are Blue Star players, and although they have heard of the phenomenon of spatial tides, they do not understand them very thoroughly.

As for this information, it was only when I first arrived in Ciel City that I learned a very one-sided part of the content through that thin introduction booklet.

As for the perception of space tides, several people are limited to the fact that it may lead to the failure of space technology and cause disaster.

That's why the league forbade players from diving in the initial wilderness boat.

However, Hans judged from his current encounter that it might be a precursor to a tidal eruption in space.

This is obviously very different from everyone's understanding of space tides.

Why does the appearance of alien monsters in the sea area of the flat zone in the shallow zone mean that the space tide is about to explode?

Also, what does space tide have to do with clowns?

Meng Lei raised his doubts and looked at Hans with a solemn gaze.

"What the hell is going on? Why do you make such a judgment? ”

Hans took a deep breath, crossed his arms and walked around the room, muttering:

"Since you already know about the existence of space tides, you must also know that there is some kind of hyperspace realm in the alien abyss in the deep zone, right?"

Meng Lei nodded and said:

"Aren't space tides caused by the hyperspace realm?

Roger, the head of the Security Office in Sir City, told me that it was because of your research on hyperspace science that you Tia caused the loss of contact with the home planet. ”

After a pause, Meng Lei turned his head sideways and asked:

"What is the relationship between space tides and the hyperspace realm?

Why do I think that in the introduction book of Sil City, it seems that the words are not finished? What exactly is the alliance hiding? ”

Hans nodded a little helplessly, and said:

"Actually, it's not a cover-up, after all, this situation has not been effectively confirmed, everything is just speculation."

Seeing that Meng Lei did not answer, Hans continued:

"The tidal phenomena of space caused by the hyperspace domain will gradually radiate from the deep region to the shallow region.

In this process, not only will all space technology be affected, but there will also be many phenomena that we cannot understand.

One of the most obvious is the chaos of the biome.

For example, some creatures that have settled in the deep sea may suddenly and inexplicably appear in shallow areas.

No one knows how they migrate, no one knows what they do for what they migrate, including their routes. ”

Hearing this, Xu Hui frowned suspiciously and said:

"Generally speaking, the reason why deep-sea organisms rise to shallow water is usually caused by earthquakes or ocean currents.

The huge pressure changes can also cause irreversible and permanent damage to themselves, so under normal circumstances, they rarely leave their comfort zone and run into the shallow zone.

Could it be that the space tides can cause some kind of catastrophe in the deep zone, making them feel threatened?

That's why you sacrificed your life to float to the shallow area? ”

Hans shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said:

I don't know about this, and the alliance biologists have not given a clear answer so far.

Moreover, these deep-sea creatures do not seem to have actively migrated to the shallow areas.

It's as if they've been teleported by some kind of force, and it's unbelievable. ”

After a pause, seeing that Huo Ye and the others all had an expression of disbelief, Hans smiled and said:

"I know what you're trying to ask, the sheer pressure change caused by teleportation is something that hardly any creature can adapt.

Normally, at the moment of teleportation, it is possible to explode and die. ”

Jia Quanhu said suspiciously: "Then why do you still think that they were teleported?" ”

Hans took a deep breath, with a hint of horror on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"Because there are records that when the mother planet was not lost, the Institute of Biology in the Deep Zone once did an experiment.

They have installed a large number of positioning systems on some alien sea monsters in the deep areas to monitor them in real time to study their living habits and activity patterns.

For a long time, these alien sea monsters settled in their comfort zone and did not appear out of the ordinary.

And when the space tide erupts, many positioning signals suddenly and inexplicably disappear.

At first, the researchers thought that some kind of signal interference had caused the instrument to fail, or that some unknown creature had appeared, and the observation target was hunted on a large scale.

However, after a period of time, those lost signals were actually monitored by scientific research institutions in the shallow area.

No one knows exactly where the subjects have gone or what has happened to them during the time the signal has disappeared.

From the point of view of time,

With the speed at which those creatures swim, it is absolutely impossible to cross more than 100,000 kilometers of sea and appear in the shallow area.

Therefore, some people have suggested that they may have accidentally traveled to other places through some singularity in the hyperspace domain.

In the years that followed, a similar phenomenon occurred every time a space tidal burst occurred.

The chaos in the deep-sea biome is a harbinger. ”

At this point, Hans paused, took a breath and continued:

"As for why the sudden huge change in pressure didn't affect these creatures, that's not something I can know.

After so many years of research by the alliance without results, I don't have the ability to give an explanation. ”

Meng Lei didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

Huo Ye said in horror:

"What the hell is this hyperspace realm?! It feels weird that it can actually teleport the sea monster from the deep area to the shallow area, and it is not affected by the pressure, which is too mysterious. ”

Xu Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"The Tia people have only done a superficial study of hyperspace, and the home planet can bring us blue star people here en masse, and the alien sea monster is just scurrying around in the ocean, what's so strange."

Hearing this, Huo Ye was suddenly dumbfounded, and sighed after a while:

"Hey, that's what I said, this thing is too esoteric to understand at all......"

At this time, Meng Lei, who had not spoken, suddenly looked up at Hans and asked:

"The inexplicable chaos of the biome is only one aspect, and the clown you just talked about, what's going on?"

The words fell, without waiting for Hans to speak.

Gina suddenly stretched, yawned and walked out, and said in a vague voice:

"Let's talk slowly, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to make up for a beauty sleep."

With that, he walked out of the captain's room.

The crowd was in no mood to pay attention to her and let her go.

Hans turned around and continued:

"Speaking of clowns, that's a bit of a sinister."

After a pause, Hans seemed to be seriously organizing his language, and after a moment he added:

"The origin of the clown is mysterious, as I told the captain before.

But what I didn't make clear at the time was that although clowns have activities all over the world, they don't usually do it too often.

And, normally, they are rarely exposed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Eugene to stay in Sil City for so long without being noticed anything unusual.

After so many years of investigation of the clown and statistical analysis of events, the alliance once came to a conclusion.

Whenever the spatial tide breaks out, the clown members become very active.

This phenomenon cannot be explained by science, and can only be supported by the statistics of various events.

No one can be sure whether there is a necessary connection between the two.

However, according to some eyewitness accounts, some people have said that they have seen clown members wandering in the sea without wetsuits.

Just like the legendary Madonna the Clown, full of spooky and legendary colors.

However, there is no video recording to prove whether the oral statements of these people are true.

However, since this is not an isolated case, the Coalition has also begun to investigate, and only found a few messy clues.

Finally, some scientists believe that the Madonna of Clowns may really exist.

The outpost in the Deep Zone may have had some kind of terrible change, and the cause of the change may be related to the hyperspace realm.

If it is said that the Holy Lady of the Clown has obtained some special ability through the hyperspace realm, the legend is not necessarily false. ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Lei and the others all trembled, as if a bombshell had been dropped, and they were dumbfounded.

"That's, Hans, you're a bit too!"

Huo Ye took a deep breath, looked at Hans with an incredulous gaze, and said:

"No matter how special it is, can it make people not have to breathe underwater?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if a person has gills and does not need to breathe, and the physiological structure has changed, but the super pressure of the deep sea, no matter how mutated the physical body is, it can't bear it! ”

Xu Hui nodded thoughtfully, also feeling quite incredible.

Meng Lei didn't speak, waiting for Hans to explain.

Hans smiled and answered:

"Don't be in a hurry to refute it first, do you know what the so-called hyperspace realm is?"

Huo Ye and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

Hans said: "To put it simply, hyperspace belongs to the existence of some kind of multi-dimensional space, and what is the upper limit of the specific space dimension is simply incomprehensible with our current cognition.

But to be sure, at least four spatial dimensions are exceeded.

Within this field, there are countless high-latitude roles that we cannot understand.

In terms of the simplest four-dimensional dynamic space, which only has one more time effect than the three-dimensional space, we cannot understand the existence of the four-dimensional space with the structure and vision of three-dimensional organisms.

Not to mention, other higher-dimensional spaces.

Therefore, if Our Lady of the Clown was ever in the realm of hyperspace, acquired some kind of high-latitude space capability.

Then it is entirely possible for her to do something outside the scope of our cognition in the three-dimensional space!

However, there may be great limitations to this ability, and it may only be used within the realm of hyperspace.

So Our Lady of the Clown has always been a legend, and no one has seen her in the shallow areas as there is a fault in the flat and deep waterways.

And some members of the Clown Holy Cult may have been endowed with similar abilities by her.

This also explains why clowns tend to be active only when the spatial tide bursts, precisely because they need a hyperspace environment to display their abilities.

Therefore, there are some scientists on the part of the alliance who have put forward such hypotheses. ”

After a pause, Hans looked stunned when he saw Huo Ye and the others, as if he was dumbfounded.

He changed his words and said with a smile:

Of course, many more people still think that the clowns that the witnesses saw wandering in the sea were just parasites infected with the paint skin parasite.

What kind of clown Our Lady is also a terrifying legend made up by people in the previous era.

As for what the truth is, no one knows so far.

But ......"

Speaking of this, Hans looked up at Meng Lei, who had a serious face, and said:

"If it's just the observer's unexpected appearance in the shallow zone, I'm not sure that it's a precursor to a tidal burst in space.

After all, deep sea behemoths like the Abyssal Banshee and Morok,

Even the great horror beneath the abyss, the ghost Leviathan, can occasionally wander the shallow areas.

However, combined with Eugene's vandalism.

I think that a new round of space tide may really be coming.

Captain, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Meng Lei nodded silently, realizing the seriousness of this matter.

At this time, Xu Hui and the three of them were still a little foggy, and they couldn't react to the huge disaster that the spatial tide could bring to the shallow area if it broke out.

Although Huo Ye heard the solemnity in Hans's last sentence, his mind slowed down, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Space tidal eruption, then let it explode, and we don't use space technology, what impact can we have?"

Hans shook his head and was about to speak.

Simon, who had been listening to Hanskop silently beside him, suddenly interjected:

"Even if you don't use space technology, the impact of space tidal bursts will affect everyone!

Biome chaos alone can bring about countless horrific disasters! ”

Simon patted Huo Ye on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile:

"If you think about it, a safe passage that was originally cleared by the alliance suddenly appeared a large number of deep zone sea monsters.

How would you feel if you were driving a submarine in a rock tunnel, and the front and rear channels were blocked by sea monsters? ”

Huo Ye was dumbfounded, put himself in his shoes, and an inexplicable horror suddenly appeared on his face.

"I'll go! So scary? Then play with a yarn, all hide in the city and don't go out, who dares to do anything in the wild! ”

Hans shook his head and smiled:

"Even if you hide in the city, you don't necessarily have to be safe!

It is not uncommon for strange tides to attack strongholds, and in the early days of colonization, the home planet opened up nearly 100,000 shipping lanes in the shallow zone!

But now the alliance is using less than 70,000 of them.

Most of those abandoned shipping lanes were destroyed by space tides, and the number of alien sea monsters in the shallow sea area where we live now is less than one percent of the deep one!

The sea monsters hidden in this icy abyss are definitely far more than you can imagine! ”

Meng Lei took a deep breath when he heard this, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and answered:

"Ordinary sea monsters shouldn't be enough to pose a threat to the stability of the Alliance, right!? Those aberrations that live in the deep zone are supposed to be the culprits that caused the destruction of the waterway, right? ”

Hearing this, Hans and Simon looked at Meng Lei in surprise.

"Captain, you know about aberrations?"

Meng Lei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I met one before, it looks too terrifying, and it is obviously not a normal creature." ”

The Distorted Horned Snake was a large sea monster that Meng Lei encountered on the first day of crossing, and it was also a stepping stone for him to win the first kill in the fairway.

Again, it was the only aberrant sea monster he had encountered so far.

When the major fleets gathered and joined forces to open the last cave, he did not find a second aberration.

Obviously, this kind of aberrant creature is very rare in the shallow area.

Hans nodded when he heard this, and affirmed:

"You're right, after the outbreak of the space tides, although the number of ordinary sea monsters has increased exponentially, the threat is limited.

The truly terrifying things are those aberrations and oversized Krakens.

These creatures are not only aggressive. The hope is strong, and it is extremely difficult to kill!

Once the alliance encountered a distorted Doomsday Worm, and that aberration, the Doomsday Worm, was also infected with the painted skin and had a double mutation!

The distortion of the worm painted skin became a nightmare for the major waterways at that time, causing unimaginable disasters!

In the end, the alliance paid a terrible price for four large armed fleets before finally killing the aberrant worm, and the losses were quite heavy!

This is the catastrophe caused by the tidal burst of space.

For us colonists, every outbreak is a cruel test! ”

When the words fell, there were a few gasping voices in the captain's room, but it was Huo Ye and Xu Hui.

At this moment, after learning about the impending disaster, several people were all a little nervous.

The joy of the aftermath and the harvest was lost in this moment.

Although I didn't personally experience the terrible scene, from the descriptions of Hans and Simon, I could feel a tragic and terrible aura rushing towards my face, which made people feel chills.

In their view, the large gathering place is already the only solid foothold for humanity in the deep sea.

If it's no longer safe to even gather in the gathering place, then human beings really can't hide in this alien ocean.

Seeing that several people looked different, Hans patted Xu Hui's shoulder next to him and comforted:

"Don't worry, the space tidal burst isn't entirely a bad thing, it also comes with great opportunities."

Meng Lei raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "How do you say it?" ”

Hans explains: "Every time a space tide erupts, a large number of alien remnants buried in rock formations are exposed.

At this time, the Alliance does not have the energy to explore and control these relics.

These new ruins will become ownerless for the time being, and anyone can explore and plunder them at will.

Among them, the products of advanced civilization are things that major companies and research institutions are vying for, and any complete technology that flows out can be sold at sky-high prices!

And, as the number of sea monsters skyrockets, so does the bounty hunter's benefit!

Therefore, every burst of spatial tides is a feast for bounty hunters.

Although many people will die in disasters, there are also many people who can accumulate a huge wealth enough to squander their lives!

Risks and opportunities coexist, it depends on whether you are bold enough. ”

There was a hint of demagogy in Hans's words, and the eyes of the few people who listened to it lit up.

Meng Lei also nodded meaningfully, got up and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the bedside table, lit it, and muttered silently.

If the situation after the tidal wave of space erupts, it is really as Hans said.

Then this disaster is not a great opportunity for rapid development for the Chongming Fleet and even the Blue Star player group.

Whether it is the accumulation of wealth or the improvement of science and technology, there will be breakthroughs.

Of course, the risks are enormous.

All kinds of abyss bosses are coming out, safe navigation is a big problem, and what potential dangers there will be in the alien ruins, everything is unknown.

"It's time to prepare."

Meng Lei groaned secretly, and had a general direction and judgment in his heart.

Then Hans said:

"Captain, these are just speculations I've come up with based on past experience, and I'm not sure if the space tide will break out.

When you get back to Ciel City, you can pay more attention to this information.

If there is a real hint of an outbreak, the alliance will definitely detect it.

When the time comes, the major newspapers will report on it, reminding the citizens of the alliance to prepare.

The impact of this matter is too great, and the alliance will not hide it, and there is no need to hide it. ”

Meng Lei nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I see, I'll send someone to keep an eye on this."

The discussion of tidal bursts in space triggered by the appearance of observers has come to an end for the time being.

There's not much point in worrying too much until something happens.

The point is, they can't do anything on the way back now.

I can only put this question aside for now, and wait until I return to the city of Sil.

The sequelae brought about by the gaze of the observer will last for a long time, and everyone chatted for a while, Meng Lei really had a headache, so he briefly explained, and let Huo Ye lead the team to set off and continue to hurry.

He changed into a set of sheets and bedding, and changed into dry and new clothes, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

It's just that, out of concern about Meng Lei's physical condition, at the strong request of everyone, Hans stayed in the captain's room to accompany him throughout the process.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon that Meng Lei gradually woke up.

The constant tingling sensation in the brain has subsided slightly, but the chaotic and nauseous feeling still pops up from time to time, and everything is a little ghosted.

Gina's conclusion is that this will continue to happen for the next week or so.

It will not return to normal after a week, and it is recommended to stay in bed for a long time to minimize mental work.

Meng Lei wanted to cry without tears, this time it was really wasted.

The observer is even more terrifying than the Abyss Banshee, whose hissing can also affect his sanity, but it has no such serious sequelae.

However, it may also have something to do with the fact that he looks at the observer for a long time.

But no matter what, Meng Lei has a long memory this time, and his curiosity must not be so heavy in the future.

There is so much incomprehensible in this perilous alien ocean.

Even if you hide in a submarine, you have to explain your life if you don't do it, and there is no real security anywhere at all.

I ate some pop-bomb pomegranate flower sauce mixed with fish steak rice, and lunch was so simple to deal with.

During this period, Lin also came out to show her face, which was regarded as saying hello to him.

This girl has been locked in her room since she left the Molten Rock Outpost, and it is clear that the Molten Rock Outpost incident has had a great impact on her.

This knot in my heart seems to be unpassable for a while.

In this regard, Meng Lei is not easy to say anything, this kind of thing can only be the hurdle in his heart, and it is useless for outsiders to talk more.

Lynn stayed in the dining room for a while, ate a bite to eat, and then went back to her room.

Look at that Jiao. With a small and lonely back, Meng Lei suddenly realized a problem, after arriving in Xi'er City, where should this girl go in the future?

From the previous conversation, he probably understood.

Lynn's parents died in a shipwreck many years ago.

All these years, Aunt Dolly, who has been in the clinic, has taken care of her, and there are no other relatives.

Later, when he met Eddie, his life gradually improved.

Now that the Molten Outpost has completely fallen, Eddie may not be able to escape the Alliance's sanctions in the end, and in this case, Lynn is really completely helpless.

Anyway, they also helped themselves, if the other party hadn't opened the door in time, they would probably have suffered heavy casualties.

If she wants to leave her alone in Xi'er City to make a living, thinking of the appearance of the walking corpses of those lower-class people in the city, Meng Lei is really a little unbearable.

"Anyway, she can also use simple medical technology, why don't you just keep her on the ship and be a ship doctor?"

Meng Lei thought about it while eating, and felt that this way of dealing with it was more humane.

As for whether the girl agrees or not, I have to ask for her opinion.

At least with his own attitude and decision, he will not make people feel cold-blooded and ruthless, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Just as he was thinking about it, the hand-held tablet on the dining table suddenly vibrate.

Meng Lei put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth, picked up the tablet and took a look, and found that it was a transfer message.

The honorarium of 150,000 marks was credited to his citizen account, and the current balance shows that there are nearly 170,000 assets in the citizen account.

And behind the transfer information, there is also a message from Roger.

"The video has been confirmed, and it took some time to go through the process, so the honorarium was called, please check."

Meng Lei's eyes lit up.

Although he is now worth millions, they are all fixed assets and materials that have not had time to be realized, and he actually does not have much savings at all.

As far as savings are concerned, he is still a bitter little poor man.

Therefore, suddenly 150,000 cash came in, looking at the wallet that bulged again, he immediately closed his mouth happily, and replied to Roger with a smile.

"Roger!"
