Chapter Seventy-One: The Habitat of Arcanic Creatures (Part I)

It's a hard choice. Lan Yu pinched his forehead and said, "Personally, I want to go hunt for the Arcane creatures, without him, this wealth is too precious." ”

"You've also seen the system's hint that we can return here at any time with a fully charged switchback, which means that Odyssey will become an important base for us, where we can search for treasures, build bases, and develop our forces."

"This arcane creature will be our start-up capital, and we will sell its body materials on the black market, or sell it to the research institute to obtain the identity of the establishment."

"Then we can use this money to buy a colony star in the edge galaxy as a base of operations to hunt arcane creatures, gradually develop colony stars, and purchase a starport for the Dark Star - I am not willing to spend nearly 100,000 prisms to repair her!"

"What do you think?"

Lan Bing looked at him with a smirk: "I think it's okay to do both, four thousand tons of arcane energy should be enough to fill your entropy energy well twice, right?" ”

"It's not clear how high the quality of the energy is at Ao Neng, but it's absolutely okay to fill up such a huge amount at once."

Lan Yu turned his head and asked Lynn, "Brother, what about you?" ”

"Me? Of course, my eyes are not limited to the arcane creatures themselves, but focus on its research value, maybe Levi and Fangzi can study something from it. ”

Blue Feather shrugged: "Then let's hunt the Arcane creatures." ”

He activated warp mode on the Darkstar's control panel, and the cylindrical console was projected by the augmented reality device, showing a star map of the Larn Cluster (the cluster of Ionan) that they had just acquired.

The trio pressed towards the tactical eyepiece, and the visual interaction panel was linked to the console. The star map rotated, zoomed in, and a nebula was clicked out.

It is the Makra Diffuse Nebula. At the outer edge of the Rahn Cluster, further out of the Milky Way, but not very far away for the Dark Star.

Nebulae are cloud-like objects formed by the combination of gas and dust in interstellar space. Despite its name, the density of matter in the nebula is actually very low, and in some places it is simply vacuum.

However, nebulae are very large, often tens of light-years in circumference. An average nebula has a mass equivalent to at least a thousand suns.

As its name suggests, the Diffuse Nebula has no distinct boundaries and often appears in irregular shapes, like leisurely clouds in the sky.

The Makra Nebula is one of the most dangerous places in the galaxy, and no explorer has ever been able to return alive from there.

One of the dangers lies in the nebula itself.

Nebulae are starfactories that always gather some huge clouds inside. These massive clouds capture free interstellar dust and gas under the influence of gravity until they grow into a star themselves.

Stars in birth and newborn stars are the most violent, erupting in massive solar flares at every turn, forming intense electromagnetic and quantum interference that combine to form intricate gravitational traps within the nebula.

As soon as the ship strays into the area, communication with the outside world is immediately cut off. And the danger of sailing in the flying state is extremely dangerous, comparable to racing in the shallows with dense reefs.

The second danger lies in the arcane creatures that inhabit the nebula.

The nest of the arcane creatures is built in this diffuse nebula, and the huge arcane creatures take brown dwarf stars or protostars as their nests, use the interstellar dust belt as a curtain, and use the nebula gap as a path to wander freely in the huge diffuse nebula.

[Makula System] is [Makula Ecosystem]!

yes, it's too much of an ecosystem here. The Makla Nebula is like an ocean of abundance:

Stars are gushing hydrothermal vents under the sea;

The vastness of the vacuum, the sweet seawater;

Interstellar dust belts are kelp that flutters in seawater;

Interstellar storms are ocean currents that bring abundant nutrients.

Small arcane organisms are swimming krill and schools of fish;

The Makula Astral Shark is a greedy shark that hunts for fish.

The Makula Space Whale opens its mouth and feeds in the dust belt.

There are energy sources here – interstellar dust and stars forming are inexhaustible sources of energy.

There are producers here, small arcane creatures devouring stardust, using strange digestive systems to extract the arcane energy that exists in all things, and enrich it in their own biological tissues.

There are primary consumers here – feeding on the underlying arcane creatures and plundering them of the arcane energy in their blood;

There's the Decomposer – bizarre arcane creatures that frantically scramble for food scraps.

Here are the top consumers – Aoneng is concentrated in them through the bio-accumulation effect, and the content climbs from 10,000 to percent. The prey of the trio's trip, the [Makula Astral Giant Shark], had a blood arcane energy content of as high as eight percent.

But no one dares to fight the idea here!

Because a significant portion of the arcane creatures live in groups, when a member of the group is attacked, the attacker will usher in their frenzied revenge.

The third danger is the adjacent [Supernova Relic], which is the neighbor of the [Makra Diffuse Nebula], which comes from a supernova explosion 10,000 years ago.

The supernova is owned by a blue supergiant with a mass of 180 solar masses, and its life came to an end 10,000 years ago, when the most powerful supernova explosion ever recorded by the Demacian Empire came.

Instability against supernova has come!

The power of this supernova explosion is so great that it can blow an entire star to pieces, and even a black hole will not be created.

The dazzling light lit up the entire galaxy, and hundreds of billions of stars were lit up by a single dawn. Even the Andromeda Galaxy, which is millions of light-years apart, will witness a brilliant explosion in the future.

Ever since the supernova exploded, the starfield had become wicked, and from time to time passing ships could hear whispers across the curtain of space. Many people will hear an inexplicable call while gazing at the starry sky.

Cosmologists have proposed the multiverse hypothesis, believing that this supernova explosion briefly broke through the curtain between the current universe and the other universe, but it has never been confirmed, but many science fiction writers have taken inspiration from it to create many classic works.

The system maintainers that the three of them had seen at Outpost 103 had read too many of these novels, and the whole person was stunned.

Therefore, although the entire galaxy has coveted this rich fishing ground before, no one has ever dared to go deep into the nebula to hunt, or the people who entered the nebula have died.

The last emperor of the last royal family of the Demacian Empire once sent the main fleet deep into the nebula to hunt for arcane creatures in a desperate attempt to save the precarious finances, but the fleet of six heavy nuclear capital ships was completely wiped out, and not even a single person escaped.

The accident was the last straw that broke the dynasty, and the Gawain family ascended to the throne.

Since then, hunters have had to play the trick of waiting for the rabbit, hoping to run into prey that is running around because of their playfulness. But soon the Aonon creatures learned to be smart.

Over time, the [Makla Diffuse Nebula] became unnoticed, and it became a strange star field that no one paid attention to.

But the Acanon creature is also healed and the scar has forgotten the pain, and the astral giant shark has run into a nearby star system and is targeted by the Syndicate.

The main control panel clicks on the target galaxy [NXG4050] to zoom in, and a red dot representing the prey is displayed inside the galaxy.
