The black hole itself is just a celestial body with so much mass and gravitational pull that even light can't escape.

And because of this great mass, time and space will be distorted.

A normal black hole is one in which a star dies and begins to collapse towards its center.

When the core becomes all neutrons, it becomes a neutron star.

But if it becomes a neutron and does not stop collapsing, a black hole will form.

After a star the size of a normal sun collapses into a black hole, the physical part is several kilometers in size, and it can be seen that the mass is compressed to the extreme.

It is precisely because of this that the gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape.

The black hole in the heart of the galaxy is equivalent to the mass of two million stars, formed after the collapse.

As the saying goes, quantitative change causes qualitative change, and the mass of two million stars collapses into a black hole, and the distortion of space will naturally reach a certain extreme.

In addition, some high-dimensional properties play a role.

It even triggered a natural spatial jump.

"Speaking of which, was it the White Hole that we just walked through? Are we still in the original universe? Lu Yao observed the white light that was getting farther and farther behind him, and looked at the pitch black again in front of him.

The opposite of a black hole is a white hole, except that a black hole absorbs matter, while a white hole ejects matter.

Theoretically, the white hole is the black hole after the reversal, and the matter that enters the black hole will eventually be ejected from the white hole to maintain a kind of cosmic equilibrium.

There is a theory that black holes and white holes should exist in different universes, and the matter absorbed by black holes from this universe will be ejected from another universe by white holes.

But in reality, in the case of the black hole in the heart of the galaxy, they did not travel through the universe, but only through the Milky Way.

"We're still in the original universe, but the location has changed, and this should be another river system, but I don't know how far away it is from the Milky Way." Lin Xu answered Lu Yao's doubts.

At the same time, the Skylark has also rushed out of the black hole in the middle of this river system at a thousand times the speed of light.

Theoretically, a black hole swallows everything, but as long as it is fast enough, it is not impossible to escape.

"Another river system? Did humans come here back then? Mu Xiyue looked out of the porthole, yearning.

"I guess so." Lin Xu's tone was also a little uncertain.

"Look, look, there's no more disorder and filth out there, we're really in another river system." Nan Zhu suddenly pointed out the porthole in surprise and shouted.

Everyone looked closely, and then they found that as the black hole in the center of the river system rushed out, the outside scene also came into view.

Instead of being shrouded in a dense black curtain that envelops the disordered filth of the entire center of the galaxy, it has become a scene of a large number of stars converging in the center of a normal river system.

The normal center of the river system should be composed of the most central black hole, and gradually outward, densely packed stars.

"It's so dense with stars here." Lu Yao sighed.

"Near the center of a normal river system, the density of stars can reach hundreds of thousands of stars in a light year." Mu Xiyue replied.

"With so many massive stars, it's no wonder that the disordered filth of the Silver Heart is able to devour order to that extent." Lu Yao sighed.

"It looks like the river system is not bad, and so far no disorder and filth have been found." Lin Xu, who has always turned on a high-dimensional perspective, sees more than a few people.

"It can't be a relatively primitive galaxy that hasn't developed an advanced civilization yet, right? I don't believe that there are advanced civilizations that will not use the Chaos Element, unless the center of the river system here does not produce the Chaos Element. Nan Zhu was skeptical.

"There are also high-dimensional weaknesses here, so theoretically it is also possible to mine Chaos Elemental Energy, and I have already seen the facilities that are mining Chaos Elemental Energy." Lin Xu's face changed, and his tone was a little complicated.

"See? Where is it? Can I take a look at that too? Nan Candle asked.

"It's not far ahead." Lin Xu replied.

At the same time, the personal space is directly opened.

Suddenly, the space around the Skylark fluctuated, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out of the surrounding space, and then flew in all directions.

Lin Xu's high-dimensional perspective, in fact, can't see too far, and he can see that the Chaos Yuan Energy is being mined, also because it is close enough.

So he needs to autonomic mechanical aggregates to scout farther away.

Since as soon as you get out of the center of the river system, you can see the facilities for mining Chaos Yuan Energy, then there will be no accident in the rest of the place.

Soon, the Skylark arrived near the facility where the Chaos Elemental Energy was being mined.

Nan Zhu was lying on the porthole, his eyes wide, looking at everything outside the window.

I saw a star floating lonely in the universe.

Given the density of stars here, it's normal that there are no planets around them.

And around this star, there are a large number of various industrial facilities around.

Several rings of stars orbit the star, and a large number of various instruments are aimed at the star, constantly impacting the star with various energies.

More importantly, some of this energy appears to have been harvested from stars.

It's like a star is rushing itself.

"Is this collecting Chaos Elemental Energy?" Mu Xiyue muttered to herself.

Everyone present saw the scene of collecting Chaos Yuan Energy for the first time.

I saw a large number of various spaceships, sailing back and forth around the voyage, and it was like a large-scale interstellar factory, with all kinds of transport ships coming in and out.

Law enforcement ships can also be seen maintaining order in the surrounding area.

So the appearance of the Skylark here could not even attract the attention of others.

Because there are too many large and small spaceships, even if the construction style of the Skylark looks different from the civilization that is mining the Chaos Elemental Energy, but the style itself is not uniform with the wide variety of various spaceships here.

It looks like it came out of all sorts of strange civilizations.

So Lin Xu simply stopped the Skylark here and watched it generously.

It wasn't until a moment later that a law enforcement ship spotted the spacecraft parked on the side of the road and flew over to inquire about the situation.

Looking at the inquiry voice sent from the other side, listening to the Chinese with a little accent, Lin Xu was a little confused.

Well, it's true that Chinese is the universal language of the universe, right?

However, Lin Xu also determined that humans had indeed come to this river system back then.

Although it is not clear what is left in this river system.

But at least it shows that he followed the footsteps of mankind and did not take a fork in the road, which is good, this is good.

"The ship ahead, whether there is a malfunction. Repeat, the ship ahead, if there is a malfunction, we can help with repairs. "The inquiry of the law enforcement ship sounded in the cockpit.

"The fault has been cleared, thank you for your help." Lin Xu replied immediately.

"Enter the channel immediately, prepare to enter the port, and do not stop at the side of the channel. Repeat, prepare to enter the port and do not stop at the side of the fairway. "The law enforcement ship sent a message again.

"Understood." Lin Xu replied.

"Are we really going in?" Although the south candle on the side looked inquiring, the eagerness in his tone could not be hidden.

"Let's go in and take a look, we don't know anything about this river system now, so maybe we can get some information." Lin Xu decided.

Immediately, the Skylark, guided by the law enforcement ship, joined the torrent of ships entering the port.

Some of these large and small spaceships are about 100 meters in size like the Skylark, while some are transport ships that are thousands of meters long, and some are even 10,000 meters long.

For a while, it was like a fleet of ships queuing through the locks.

At the same time, Lin Xu quietly opened the portable space, and a large number of nanobots began to be released, diving into various spaceships around him to collect information.

Some even infiltrated the harbor ahead.

Soon, it became clear what the ships were for.

In fact, they are ordinary cargo ships, some of which are loaded with various industrial equipment, and some are just ordinary daily necessities.

Others are passenger ships, and some are here to do business.

It turned out that this huge factory for mining Chaos Yuan Energy was also a huge settlement.

Come to think of it, such a large factory must need a lot of people to maintain daily operations.

Then it is normal to need all kinds of living materials.

Soon, it was the Lark's turn to get through.

With so many spaceships, it is naturally impossible for every spacecraft to be inspected by humans, but the robot is responsible for detecting whether there are contraband in the spaceship.

The first is the large sensors on the outside, and the second is the detection of the robot that enters the interior of the spacecraft.

And these are naturally very easy to deal with for the Skylark, Lin Xu doesn't know if there are anything in the Skylark that is contraband compared to this civilization.

So be conservative, when you check, you can directly let the nanobot sneak into the machine, block the signal alarm device, and then easily pass the level.

As for the electronic pass and the like, it was also copied from a nearby spaceship through nanobots.

At the same time, the nanobot will enter the information of the fake pass into the computer system of the checkpoint, so that the pass will be safely cleared.

That's how the Skylark slipped into the factory where the Chaos Elemental Energy was mined.

Of course, it's just a matter of entering the port living quarters.

Following the guidance signal, I came all the way to a part of the stellar ring that circled the star, and slowly docked.

The huge city located on the stellar ring immediately appeared in the eyes of several people.

"Doesn't it look very prosperous, Lord Lin Xu, should we go shopping?" Nan Zhu immediately jumped to the test.

"Okay, let's go, I've been nervous for so long, it's time to relax." Lin Xu stretched and stood up.

"yes, let's go shopping." Nan Zhu cheered, directly hugged one of Lin Xu's arms, and walked out.

And Lu Yao, who was still doing the question, was a little hesitant, she was reluctant to ask the big question in front of her, and she really wanted to see this unknown civilization city.

"Let's go together, don't hold it all the time, maybe it's more helpful to brush up on the questions." Mu Xiyue directly pulled Lu Yao up.

Miss Qiu also automatically followed Lin Xu.

In this way, the five men left the Skylark and came to the port.

The harbour harbor is home to a wide variety of species, but in general the majority of mammals walk upright.

Because only creatures in this form have the greatest possibility of evolving into intelligent life.

And the appearance of Lin Xu and the others, among these strange creatures, does not seem to be a maverick, and even the southern candle with fox ears and fox tail can shake his big tail openly without attracting anyone's attention.

Well, it's not that it didn't attract attention, but the reason it attracted attention was not because of their racial characteristics, but because of their personal characteristics.

For example, the appearance of several people, even in the eyes of aliens, they feel very good-looking.

After all, they are all mammals that walk upright, and they are not very different from humans, so they naturally have similar aesthetics.

It's like when we look at Avatar and ET, which one looks better, it's clear at a glance.

Of course, after all, it's not a race, so at most, we think it looks pleasing to the eye, just like although we think Avatar looks better, we will definitely not react to Avatar.

Well, with the exception of certain special groups, which are no longer in consideration.

Walking on the main street of the airport, there are towering buildings on all sides, and the sky is wrapped in a membrane, which filters out some of the star's light and shines on the huge airport.

Nan Zhu pulled Lin Xu, his eyes were full of interest.

Miss Qiu, who followed behind, was as quiet as ever.

Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao also looked at everything around them curiously.

While Lin Xu was shopping, he did not forget to accept the information sent back by the autonomous mechanical aggregates that were exploring in all directions through the nanobots spreading around.

At the same time, the space around the body is opened, and nanobots are spreading everywhere you go.

This is already a habit of Lin Xu.

No, it's not just Lin Xu's habits, but Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and even Lu Yao are also spreading nanobots in all directions through their respective personal spaces.

For several people, being in an environment without nanobots always feels unaccustomed, uncomfortable, and insecure.

So wherever you go, as long as you see a place where there are no nanobots, you always have to scatter some.

Anyway, nanobots can self-replicate, for them it is endless, how much they are scattered, how much they are self-replicating in the portable space, so even if they are scattered, they will not be used in the end, and they don't care at all.

It's just that just as a few people were happily strolling around the airport of an unknown civilization, they were also collecting information about this unknown civilization.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the airport.

A large number of small machines are lifted into the air in the airport, patrolling back and forth.

At the same time, the announcement rang out.

"Warning, warning, traces of devouring particles have been found, and it is suspected that there are devourers sneaking into the port, please keep calm and cooperate with the search work of the guards."

"Please keep calm and cooperate with the security guards in the search."

And the announcement was accompanied by riots throughout the port.

Originally, the crowd around Lin Xu who was eating melons was extremely calm, but as soon as they heard what devouring particles, devourers, they immediately began to be calm.

"Devourer? Infiltrated by the Devourers here? ”

"Damn the port administration, are they all a bunch of shit? This can be infiltrated. ”

"No, I'll have to get out of here, my cargo is still on board, in case it gets eaten by the Devourer."

"Go home, I'm going home, my daughter is still waiting for me, I can't die here."

"I wouldn't have come here to transport this cargo if I knew I wouldn't have done it."

Some people even ran away in the direction of the port, apparently preparing to escape back to the ship.

But before he could run a few steps, a small machine patrolling the sky, a laser shot over, directly hitting the floor in front of the man, melting the ground into a large hole.

"Warning, warning, please keep calm in the port, otherwise they will be dealt with as a fellow devourer."

Suddenly, those who had planned to run back to the port did not dare to move, so they could only stay where they were.

But the loud cursing was never less.

And the small machines on patrol don't care what you scold, as long as you don't run, they will ignore you.

"Lord Lin Xu, what are the devouring particles? And what is a Devourer? Are we running into a wanted criminal? Nan Zhu hugged Lin Xu's arm and looked at the small patrol machinery in the sky, looking curious and eager to try.

Looks like you're going to want to grab one and study it at any time.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Lin Xu shrugged, but still looked around, and his eyes fell on someone who looked like a tour guide.

"Let's find someone to ask." As he spoke, Lin Xu walked like the man.

Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao saw that Lin Xu moved, so they naturally followed Lin Xu over there.

The small machines patrolling the sky do not care about this kind of small area of movement, they do not ask everyone to be motionless, but they are not allowed to make movements that can easily cause riots, such as running, etc.

"Brother, inquire about something." Lin Xu beckoned.

The human race is eighty or ninety percent similar in appearance to humans, except that there are some joints on the body that are slightly different from humans, and the hair is naturally thinner than humans.

It's a naturally Mediterranean race.

And seeing Lin Xu say hello, the innate Mediterranean frowned.

"Are you from our tour group?"

"It's not." Lin Xu shook his head.

The man looked at several big beauties who were following Lin Xu again, and his mood suddenly became even worse.

It is similar to human appearance, and the aesthetic is not bad.

"Oh, then I'm not obligated to give you an answer." The innate Mediterranean turned his head and didn't intend to pay attention to Lin Xu.

So in this case, Lin Xu had no choice but to use his ability to make money.

I saw that he reached out and took out a banknote from his body and handed it directly to the natural Mediterranean.

Of course, he copied the banknotes with nanobots, as many as he wanted, so he directly copied the largest denomination.

And the tour guide, who was unwilling to answer Lin Xu's question just now, suddenly lit up his eyes.

As soon as he took the money, he put it directly into his pocket.

"If you don't understand something, boss, just ask."

In the interstellar age, especially among those who need to sail far, physical money has replaced the revival of electronic payments.

The main reason is that the universe is so big that even digital currencies that don't require a network are not as popular as banknotes among voyagers.

Because of where they're going, some are even so backward that they don't even have electronic devices capable of holding digital currencies.

As a result, there is a trend of physical money and electronic money in parallel.

"I want to ask, what's going on?" Lin Xu asked, pointing to the small machinery that was still patrolling back and forth above his head.

"What's going on? It's capturing the Devourer. "Born Mediterranean looked confused, as if he were saying something for granted.

"What is a Devourer?" Lin Xu asked.

"What is a Devourer? Boss, you don't even know about the Devourer? The eyes of the innate Mediterranean looking at Lin Xu suddenly changed, as if he was looking at a primitive person.

"Should I know?" Lin Xu said, and another large bill was thrown out.

"It's normal for the boss not to know! After all, normal people who pay attention to what devourers, isn't it, hahaha. "Born Mediterranean looked around cautiously as he kicked the money into his arms and snorted haha.

You have money, you are the biggest, as long as you give money, you say what you say.

"Alright, let's talk about what a Devourer is." Lin Xu asked.

"Where the boss came, didn't he just join the Alliance, so he didn't know much about the Alliance's wanted Devourers?" The Mediterranean helped Lin Xu make up for his brain.

"Yes." Lin Xu nodded.

"That's it, let me tell you, these so-called Devourers were once a member of the Alliance, but at that time they hid their true colors and lurked in the Alliance."

"It wasn't until their true colors were revealed that everyone knew their purpose, terrible, really terrible."

Lin Xu didn't interrupt him, but waited for him to continue.

"It turns out that this devourer can control a special particle in the universe called the devouring particle, which will continuously devour all the matter in the universe and copy the matter into the devouring particle itself."

"Think about it, how horrible it is."

"Devour matter, copy itself?" Lin Xu felt so familiar when he heard it.

When he first heard about devouring particles, he thought it could be related to disordered filth.

But now the more I listen to it, the more I feel that it doesn't feel like it.

Although disordered filth can also assimilate order into disorder, I have not heard of any intelligent beings that can manipulate disordered filth.

So if it is still in line with this statement, isn't there only nanobots left?

"Is this scary?" Lin Xu was a little incomprehensible.

"Think about it, if you let them devour and replicate like this, sooner or later, won't all the matter in the entire universe have to become this devouring particle? Isn't that scary? "Born a Mediterranean tour guide, speaking of this, a look of fear inexplicably appeared on his face.

It can be seen how much mental trauma this so-called devourer and devouring particles have caused him.

Of course, this is not necessarily what he has encountered in person, but in this era, even if he hasn't encountered it, it is still very simple to watch a few videos or even experience it in virtual reality.

I just don't know what scene he has experienced.

And Lin Xu and a few girls also looked at each other, and finally understood.

The devourers who infiltrated the port are a few of them.

In particular, the carry-on space of a few people is still releasing nanobots outward.

It's so unscrupulous, you can't be discovered!

At this time, the crowd that had originally gathered on the street slowly dispersed.

No one caused chaos, so everyone slowly left, and the small machines on patrol naturally didn't care.

The Mediterranean guide, too, was ready to take his tour group back to the hotel.

This kind of thing has happened, who still has the heart to continue playing, it is safer to go back to the hotel quickly.

Lin Xu thought about it, took out a whole wad of banknotes, and handed it to the Mediterranean tour guide.

The tour guide's eyes lit up suddenly.

looks like he is willing to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire for Lin Xu.

"How about a few of us, join your tour group temporarily?" Lin Xu asked.

"Temporary joining? Right now? No problem, of course. It's just, we're going back to the hotel? ”

"It's okay, just add a few rooms to the hotel." Lin Xu replied.

Although he was wanted by the port, he didn't want to leave just like that.

Regarding the so-called alliance, there are also devourers, as well as devouring particles.

Lin Xu needed more information.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket.
