Chen Fan arrived in a world ruled by "gods."
The statues of gods spoke with synthesized electronic voices; divine blessings bestowed mechanical prosthetic limbs...
Believe in el...
Chapter 447: The fragmented star system,
the place of creation.
A short and powerful golden light shot out from the launch port on the top of the research ship and hit the side of the warp channel directly.
Just like hitting a piece of water, the originally empty space suddenly appeared with layers of ripples, and then, a wormhole with extremely high intensity was slowly generated under the gaze of everyone!
Wormhole interference technology.
However, unlike conventional micro-wormholes, the specifications of this wormhole used to destroy the warp channel are obviously a bit oversized - at least the investigator starship cannot open a wormhole of this level.
Unlike the warp channel that is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, this brand-new wormhole showed unprecedented strong vitality the moment it appeared.
It is like a black hole, spinning rapidly while also moving in a circular motion with a decreasing radius around the entrance and exit of the warp channel.
As the distance between the two approaches, the warp channel, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, gradually becomes "active".
At the moment the two merged, strong space-time fluctuations spread out like a tsunami, stirring up the calm red nebula.
"Done."
Inside the research ship, Wang Jing looked at the four-dimensional channels that collapsed in sections in the holographic interface with satisfaction: "This warp channel has been completely destroyed. As for the giant scorpion..."
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the unstable holographic interface beside her, which clearly displayed the scene of the Xinaluo star system.
"The number of deaths of 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions is at least 20,000. The number of deaths of 1,000-meter and 100-meter-class giant scorpions is difficult to estimate for the time being. It can only be said that... the current Xinaluo star system is no different from a pot of broth."
Wang Jing clapped her hands lightly: "It's in line with expectations."
Looking at the holographic interface that was not excessive even with ten layers of mosaics, Ophelia in the communication channel couldn't help but be amazed.
It was so easy to solve such a large number of starry sky giant scorpions. If they repeat the same trick and continue to guide the giant scorpions to other warp channels...
No, no, no, they must not do this!
This is the body of a star god!
Ophelia's body suddenly shuddered, and she quickly threw this blasphemous thought behind her.
"...Queen Ophelia? Queen Ophelia!!"
Just as Ophelia was silently confessing to the Star God in her heart, Chen Fan's call suddenly came: "Please notify the Xinaluo fleet, we should set off."
Facing Ophelia's somewhat confused eyes, Chen Fan reached out and called up a star map: "The Star Scorpions already know that we are in the Creation Land."
"According to the current distance and the opponent's speed, the first batch of Star Scorpions will return to the Creation Land in 36 hours."
Ophelia's red lips opened slightly, but no sound came out.
The little joy of surviving the disaster suddenly collapsed when she saw the star map full of red dots.
At this moment, the Xinaluo civilization was not out of danger, and it was still standing on the edge of the cliff.
[We...]
After a moment of silence, Ophelia asked with difficulty: [Where should we go? 】
She turned sideways and looked at the boundless starry sky outside the porthole, with a deep sense of bewilderment in her eyes: [Xina Luo civilization...where else can it go? 】
"Don't be so negative."
Chen Fan laughed cheerfully: "The Xina Luo star system is gone, but isn't the home planet of the Xina Luo civilization still there?"
[Home planet? ]
Ophelia was slightly stunned, and after reacting, she quickly asked back: [Star Envoy, are you talking about...the original home planet of the Xina Luo civilization? ]
Perhaps she was shocked by Chen Fan's words, and the faint fluorescence on the surface of Ophelia's body began to flicker continuously.
"Of course."
Chen Fan smiled and entered a line of coordinate information on the console in front of him: "The current place of creation is an empty space!"
"The destination has been set." As Chen Fan pressed the confirm button, the synthesized voice of the shipboard main brain came slowly, "The current distance to the target galaxy: 195 light years, the route planning has been completed..."
"Wow!" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect it to be so close!"
"Fifty years ago, the starry sky giant scorpion invaded the Xinaluo civilization without any signs."
While Chen Fan was doing the final inspection of the route, he asked Ophelia: "Aren't you curious about the reason why those starry sky giant scorpions attacked the Xinaluo civilization?"
Ophelia was shocked and her expression became complicated.
She vaguely remembered that as early as when she first landed in the Xinaluo star system, Chen Fan asked her about the reason why the starry sky giant scorpion invaded the Xinaluo civilization, but because a large number of civilization databases were lost and the older generation of Xinaluo people died on the battlefield, the reason became a mystery.
Facing Chen Fan's gaze, Ophelia hesitated and nodded: [...Of course I'm curious. 】
【It's just...】
【Compared to that, I'm more worried about the state of the Star God. 】
Chen Fan paused for a moment.
He subconsciously glanced at the red starry sky outside the porthole.
In fact, as soon as he arrived at the place of creation, he tried to sense the consciousness fluctuations of the Kraken in the surrounding starry sky.
But...
it didn't work.
Chen Fan shook his head and sighed silently: "At present, it is very likely that the Kraken has fallen into a deep sleep. I didn't feel his presence in the surrounding starry sky."
"I will try again after I arrive at your home planet."
"After all..."
Chen Fan added: "The Kraken has always been around your home planet. Maybe his consciousness will also sleep near that star field."
...
In the starry sky, a huge star system is running silently.
Under the light of the main star, the slowly surging nebulae around it reveal a bewitching bright red.
Suddenly, a strong space-time fluctuation came from a distance. In the blink of an eye, this space-time fluctuation spread to the edge of the star system.
When it was about to rush into the interior of the star system, the space-time fluctuation stopped abruptly, and a huge fleet also appeared in the visible universe.
"The destination has been successfully reached."
The synthesized voice of the shipboard main brain echoed in the investigator starship, and Chen Fan also cast a curious look at the star system ahead.
This is a fragmented star system.
According to the information previously provided by the Xinaluo civilization, there are several rocky planets on the edge of the star system.
There are a lot of mineral resources inside these rocky planets, which has brought a lot of help to the initial development of the Xinaluo civilization.
But since the Xinaluo civilization mastered the warp channel, these inconspicuous rocky planets have been specially protected, and the Xinaluo royal family has also issued a special order prohibiting mining.
But now...
these rocky planets have all disappeared, and only a circle of asteroid belts slowly orbiting the main star are left in the original place.
"Huh..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in Chen Fan's eyes, and his originally stretched brows suddenly frowned: "These planets, how could..."
If he remembered correctly, in Ophelia's description, the battle to defend the mother planet fifty years ago did not cause such a thorough blow to these rocky planets?
Isa's voice came from the side: "This should be done by those giant scorpions..."
"Giant scorpions?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, "Why do these giant scorpions do these things?"
"What else?" Gao Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat, scratched his head and interjected, "For resources!"
"Brother Fan, have you forgotten?"
"Those giant scorpions eat everything!"
"Starship wreckage, corpses of their own kind and even antimatter are all on their menu. Let me tell you, I saw with my own eyes a giant scorpion eat the corpse of its companion..."
Gao Yuan's words did not make Chen Fan feel relieved.
On the contrary, his brows furrowed even deeper: "This makes even less sense. If it's just for food, then there's no reason for these giant scorpions to leave these asteroid belts!"
He called up the scanning detection data from the investigator starship: "Look, the metal content in these asteroids is very high."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Jing's voice came from the communication channel: "You're right, there is indeed something wrong here."
"I just did a detailed inspection and restoration simulation of these asteroid belts."
"Compared with the data provided by the Xinaluo civilization, the mass of these asteroid belts has not decreased, and even... in the restoration simulation of the shipboard main brain, these asteroids can roughly piece together a rocky planet."
"So..." Chen Fan's heart moved, "Those giant scorpions smashed these rocky planets, not for food!"
"Then what are they for?"
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Thinking of this, he directly connected the communication link with the Xinaluo flagship.
"Queen Ophelia, I need to confirm one thing with you..."
