'One ...... Is there a possibility, you say, that it's out of gas? ’

【……？？？ 】

One was stunned by Chen Fan's sudden question.

What do you mean...... The Wall of Sighs ran out of energy? 】

After getting Chen Fan's affirmation, Yi also fell silent.

After thinking for a long time, Yi's voice sounded again.

[The energy demand of the plasma barrier is very low, but for a first-level or second-level civilization, it can still be regarded as a large energy consumer. 】

[Therefore, there is indeed such a possibility.] 】

Chen Fan silently turned his head and glanced at the city of Varela, which was full of low bungalows: "What level of civilization do you think Varela is?" ’

【……】

One fell into a rare silence for a long time.

It took a long time for it to continue to make sounds.

[This machine thinks that it mainly depends on the civilization level of the goddess.] 】

[If the opponent is a level 3 or higher civilization, then this possibility is almost zero.] 】

'Why?' ’

[As the basic class of interstellar civilization, the primary and secondary civilizations obtain energy through controllable nuclear fusion, and the energy efficiency is relatively low. 】

[From the beginning of the third-level civilization, the way of obtaining energy will gradually change to positive and antimatter annihilation. 】

[For a small plasma barrier, a large-capacity antimatter battery is enough to support its operation until the end of the day.] 】

Chen Fan was secretly speechless.

Boy.

Listen to the meaning of one, the way of obtaining energy before controllable nuclear fusion is not even ranked on the side of the People's Federation!

[Therefore, this machine is more likely to have internal parts that fail during long-term operation.] 】

[Think about it, you threw a table lamp to the primitive man, and then the primitive man turned it on day and night, and did not carry out any maintenance and maintenance work during the period, do you think this table lamp can still be used? 】

It's a bit rough, but the meaning is still very accurate.

Chen Fan nodded silently in understanding.

"Let's go."

He turned around and beckoned to Isha and Gao Yuan beside him: "Go home first, and then make plans after the God Descent Ceremony is over." ”

……

Várrela, Episcopal Church, side nave.

The archbishop, dressed in a magnificent red robe, stood silently in front of the window of the side hall, his metallic mechanical head slightly raised, and four mechanical prosthetic eyes staring directly at the sky outside the window.

A sudden cool breeze blew from the window, rattling the luxurious curtains.

The sky is densely dotted with clouds that look like fish scales, and in the light of the setting sun, these fish scale clouds stain the entire sky blood.

"It's going to change again."

A mechanical voice sounded in the side hall: "In recent years, the frequency of disaster clouds has become higher and higher. ”

The archbishop stretched out his mechanical prosthetic leg from under the red robe, folded his hands, and let out a long sigh:

"Lord...... May you complete the ...... as soon as possible"

Before the words could be spoken, the door of the side hall was pushed open, and a dull sound was made.

Echoes suddenly rang out in the empty side hall.

The archbishop lowered his hands and slowly turned to look in the direction of the temple door.

"Wallis, you're out of shape."

At the entrance of the side hall, Wallis, who was wearing a purple bishop's robe, looked at the tall red figure and felt a stagnation in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and some cool air circled around his hot lungs, taking away a lot of residual heat and exhaust fumes, but also a little anger in his heart.

"Archbishop, I'm sorry."

Wallis bent down slightly, apologizing to the archbishop in front of him, who was more than half his body.

"Failed?"

The archbishop asked lightly, "The priest named Isa didn't report to the Chosen One?" ”

"No, as you guessed, Isha did leak this to Chen Fan."

"But we still failed."

"Chen Fan saw through our plan, and even took advantage of the situation to design a corresponding trap for me."

Wallis briefly reported his experience: "As of now, there is no evidence that Chen Fan, the Chosen One, has a different mind. ”

Hearing this, the archbishop's calm expression became solemn.

Wallis paused, "But I still think it's just appearances. ”

"I can see that he is different from the other Chosen One, and there is not the slightest reverence or reverence for the Lord in his eyes!"

The archbishop fell silent.

After a long time, he spoke again: "No evidence at all?" ”

"Nope." Wallis shook his head, clenching his iron fist a little unwillingly, "He used the security of the library and the reputation of the other Chosen One and the Church as bargaining chips, and at this critical juncture, I had to give in. ”

The archbishop understood Wallis's words.

"Chen Fan......"

He muttered in a low voice, and the four mechanical righteous eyes were even redder, "I remember you mentioned it once, and he did well in the third oracle, and was the perfect person for the Lord's request?" ”

"Yes." Wallis was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

"In that case, let's hold the Divine Election Ceremony in advance!"

Under Wallis's shocked gaze, the archbishop turned sharply and walked towards the door of the side nave.

In the midst of heavy footsteps, a sentence with a slight metallic resonance fell: "I'll go to the Pope first, and you and the other bishops will get ready." ”

……

Early the next morning.

The Descent Ceremony is a very important day for the church and believers.

Therefore, Chen Fan was woken up early in the morning and put on the official garb of the Chosen One—the white-gold Chosen robe.

After completing all kinds of complicated preparations, Chen Fan and Gao Yuan, who was also wearing the robe of the Chosen Spirit, followed Carlisle and an unfamiliar black-robed priest towards the place where the Divine Descent Ceremony was held.

The sky was extremely dark, and layers of clouds were piling up in the sky, and only a faint amount of sunlight shone through these thick clouds to the earth.

Wisps of cold wind blew from the sky, taking away some of the residual heat from the surface.

"Cold, huh?"

Seeing Chen Fan's movement of shrinking his body, Gao Yuan happily lowered his voice and said, "It's good to get used to it, every time the Vareera calendar changes, it's like this." ”

"When the goddess really comes, even the sun will disappear completely, and it will be even colder at that time."

"The sky is falling, the sun and the moon are gone...... That's a real miracle! ”

Chen Fan was shocked.

Will the sun disappear?!

Is such a grand scene really human?

[It may be something that temporarily obscures the light of the star.] 】

One's voice sounded in his head: [There is no atmosphere in space, and light only travels in a straight line, so it is only necessary to place a large enough shade cloth between the planets and the stars. 】

[For an interstellar civilization, this operation is not difficult. 】

Looking at the holographic demonstration animation projected on the retina, the throbbing in Chen Fan's heart calmed down a little.
