Chapter 520 Dried-up Fish Pond

"Success!"

In the communication channel, Wang Jing's voice was full of surprise: "The instructor is not lying to me. As long as the power is large enough, any problem can be solved..."

In the investigator starship, Chen Fan's eyes twitched as he listened to Wang Jing's words.

Aren't you a biology student?

When did biology also say that great efforts can produce miracles? !

Also, the instructor mentioned by Wang Jing...

He doesn't sound like a serious person to say this!

Chen Fan's complaints in his heart did not last long.

To be precise, at the moment when the black hole photolysis officially began, his attention was attracted by the shocking scene outside the porthole. The

central black hole, which has transformed into a "quasar", released all the matter it had swallowed in the past in a violent manner. These substances that had been crushed into basic particles by the strong gravity before being swallowed became chaotic quark soup at this moment. At the moment when they were ejected from both ends of the black hole, these quark jets produced extremely bright light under high-speed friction, enough to light up the entire universe bubble!

Looking at the two jets outside the porthole that were extremely dazzling in any wavelength, Chen Fan subconsciously thought of the black hole battery he had seen in the Human Union Main Universe: "So, the principle of the black hole battery..."

"Yes."

Wang Jing looked at the observation data in the holographic interface intently, and responded to Chen Fan's question casually: "The black hole battery is indeed made based on this principle, but the process of releasing energy is not so intense."

Chen Fan wanted to say something, but Wang Jing suddenly frowned: "Hiss..."

Hearing the sound of sucking in a breath of cold air, Chen Fan's heart jumped, and he subconsciously asked: "Is there a problem again?"

"..."

Wang Jing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty: "There is indeed a problem."

"Photolysis has obviously occurred, but the black hole is still in a static state, which is theoretically impossible."

"Moreover, the power of this photolysis..."

Wang Jing raised her hand and quickly tapped on the holographic interface in front of her: "It is 90% smaller than the theoretical value."

Chen Fan was stunned. He turned his head again to look at the black hole that was erupting outside the porthole and swallowed hard: "You mean... this thing is currently only exerting 10% of the theoretical power?!"

"Yes." Wang Jing's expression became solemn. "Based on the current output power of Genesis Fortress, this black hole should undergo a small-scale disintegration in a very short time, but..."

Wang Jing shook her head, her face full of confusion and puzzlement: "What kind of technology can stop the black hole from rotating and suppress the explosion of the black hole at the rule level..."

"Chen Fan!"

Isa's exclamation suddenly sounded, interrupting the communication between Chen Fan and Wang Jing: "Look at the inside of the black hole, those gray shadows..."

Chen Fan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of Isa's finger.

As the photolysis continued, the central black hole continuously spit out the matter it had previously swallowed, and its mass and size began to shrink rapidly.

Coupled with the dual effects of the increase in the speed of light constant, in just a few minutes, the event horizon of the central black hole shrunk by nearly half!

Against the backdrop of the dazzling light around it, the event horizon that was reduced by half appeared even deeper and darker.

But the focus is not on the event horizon, but on the thousands of gray shadows inside the event horizon!

It's like a gradually drying up fish pond.

With less water, the fish in the fish pond gradually floated to the surface.

Those gray shadows are like this.

As the scope of the event horizon gradually narrowed, the gray shadows were like fish in a dried-up fish pond, inevitably emerging from the water - that is, out of the scope of the event horizon!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, a medium-sized "gray fish" was forced to leave the event horizon.

When leaving that extremely dark space, the "gray fish" exposed to the starry sky struggled violently, as if it had been attacked by some powerful force, and its body structure began to spontaneously collapse.

Coupled with the violent particle flow outside the event horizon around the black hole, it took only a few seconds for the half of the "gray fish" exposed to the outside to quietly turn into ashes, and eventually became the fuel for the two high-intensity particle jets.

As for the small half of the body inside the event horizon...naturally, it quickly became motionless.

It died.

This is not an isolated case. In fact, as time goes by, similar scenes continue to appear in the edge area of ​​the black hole.

For those giant scorpions, or "gray fish", the world outside the black hole event horizon is as deadly as some kind of poison!

Looking at the scene inside the black hole, Chen Fan was shocked and whispered in a low voice: "How could this happen..."

Like Chen Fan, Wang Jing, who was in the research ship, also frowned.

She shook her head slowly: "I don't know, I have never encountered a similar situation..."

"But anyway, this situation is good for us now."

Chen Fan nodded silently.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of attacking the black hole is actually to attack the giant scorpion in advance. Although the current situation is a bit weird, it perfectly achieves the goal of the peacekeeping fleet.

Having said that, but...

for some reason, Chen Fan's uneasiness gradually grew stronger.

He looked at the giant scorpions that turned into ashes, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "Academician Wang, do you think... is it possible that the giant scorpion's body cannot adapt to this universe?"

Wang Jing raised his eyebrows, temporarily put aside the rapidly changing data in front of him, and turned to look at Chen Fan: "Unable to adapt?"

"Do you mean the adaptation problem in the rules of the universe, or the annihilation phenomenon of positive and antimatter?"

Chen Fan was stunned.

He just said it casually, who knew Wang Jing could make so many things out of it!

"Uh..." Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and said tentatively, "Is it the annihilation effect between matter and antimatter?"

"The probability is very low."

Wang Jing gave a decisive answer: "First, let's talk about the low-level scorpion groups growing in the anti-universe. Their bodies are made of antimatter. Then, let's talk about the five giant scorpions that were solved by the peacekeeping fleet. Although their bodies are not made of antimatter, we have not found any signs of annihilation of matter and antimatter in them."

"Just like the warships of the Human Alliance, a civilization of this level must have mastered the basic technology to avoid the annihilation of matter and antimatter."

"Then..." Chen Fan glanced at the extremely intense black hole photolysis scene outside the porthole and scratched his head, "That is the rule of the universe..."

"The possibility of the rule is even smaller."

Wang Jing interrupted Chen Fan's words. She did not hide anything and said frankly: "Put the organisms directly into different universes to detect the impact of the rules of the universe on life forms... To be honest, the Department of Biology has done a lot of such experiments, and I have also conducted similar research."

"But unfortunately, so far, almost no organisms will have such a violent reaction to this."

"How...how could this be..."

Chen Fan couldn't believe the answer.

Wang Jing shrugged: "It's a very counterintuitive experimental result, right?"

"But you can deduce it by reverse reasoning."

"If the rules between each universe bubble are very different, then the Pan-Universe Alliance may not be successfully established until the demise of the Human Alliance."

"Think about the scene you saw in the main universe."

"A main star gate has to receive and transmit at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of highly intelligent creatures from different universes every day. If the influence of the universe rules is as great as you think, then this thing should not be called a star gate, but a fully automatic meat grinder."

Damn, what a hell of a joke...

Chen Fan curled the corners of his mouth and revealed an awkward but polite smile.

"Indeed."

"The rules of each cosmic bubble will indeed have slight changes, but those changes are mainly concentrated in some insignificant rules. The key rules that involve the fundamental nature of the universe are actually exactly the same."

"Moreover, the amplitude of the changes in those rules is usually very weak, and the impact produced is extremely limited."

"For example, the gravitational constant of some cosmic bubbles will change to a certain extent, probably at the level of one ten-thousandth to one thousandth, which is harmless."

"But the basic rules such as the speed of light constant, natural constants, and pi, let alone different cosmic bubbles, even in the natural order field around the hyperspace membrane, these laws are universal."

Perhaps feeling that his words were too absolute, Wang Jing thought for a while and added again: "At least this is the case in the pan-universe."

Chen Fan nodded silently: "Then these giant scorpions..."

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Wang Jing looked at the "gray fish" that were constantly disintegrating at the edge of the black hole, and murmured with some pain: "What a good experimental sample..."

"Gone, just like that..."

"..."

Listening to Wang Jing's mumbling, Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he reluctantly turned his attention back to the central black hole that had shrunk a lot.

"Huh?"

Chen Fan exclaimed softly, and his eyes widened slightly.

While he was talking to Wang Jing, the "gray fish" in the central black hole seemed to have some new changes -

after the "gray fish" that was forced to leave the event horizon died, the "gray fish" thrashing around moved away from its body at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was contaminated with something unclean.

But...

the scope of the event horizon continued to shrink, and the activity space of the "gray fish" was naturally rapidly declining. Under such circumstances, it was obviously not an easy task to avoid those corpses.

Soon.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the half-remaining corpse touched a nearby "gray fish". At the moment the two came into contact, the complete "gray fish" struggled violently. At the same time, the clear outline around its body became blurred little by little - like its dead companion, its body also showed signs of collapse!

"Oh my god..."

Looking at this scene, Chen Fan couldn't help but exclaimed: "This thing has a contagious effect..."

According to this trend, as long as the Genesis Fortress continues to output, even if these giant scorpions do not leave the event horizon, they will sooner or later be killed by the corpses of their own kind.

Maybe, before the support of the People's Alliance arrives, this crisis will be over...

Thinking of this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, something strange happened!

The gray fish that struggled frantically in the event horizon stabilized again after holding on for a few seconds.

Although the outline around it was a little loose, and even the overall shape had changed a lot, it successfully survived this crisis!

"Fuck..."

At this moment, Chen Fan only felt his right eyelid twitching, and the uneasiness that had been diffused in his heart before emerged again: "No way..."

Surrounded by his own kind, the "gray fish" swam carefully towards the edge of the event horizon.

Soon, it stuck a small part of its body out of the event horizon.

Swish!!!

In a violent tremor, its body, which had just regained stability, began to melt again, but... compared with the past, the melting speed this time was obviously slower.

Although this "gray fish" still did not escape the fate of death, both Chen Fan and Wang Jing on the research ship looked extremely solemn at this time.

"It is adapting to this universe!"

Chen Fan spoke first: "Whether it is rules or something else, these giant scorpions are adapting to this universe!!"

As he spoke, the previously stable event horizon completely exploded - the surrounding fellows obviously discovered the special features of the second gray fish. They no longer avoided the corpses of their own kind, but took the initiative to move forward without hesitation, and even...

swallowed them! !

Crash!

At this moment, the extremely dark event horizon was like a fish pond that had exploded, with countless gray shadows rolling and thrashing in it...

In the violent struggle, some gray shadows died quietly, while others survived by chance.

Then, these surviving gray shadows once again struggled to pounce outside the event horizon, and their dead bodies were once again eaten by their fellows!

In this way, the number of gray shadows in the event horizon is getting smaller and smaller. At the same time, the outline of the gray shadow surface is gradually blurred, and the overall appearance has also changed significantly!

Chen Fan's face turned pale. Although he couldn't understand the rapidly changing data in the holographic interface, he could sense the seriousness of the problem by intuition alone - something terrible

has happened!

"Academician Wang!"

He shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

"Damn it..." Wang Jing suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the picture outside the porthole with an ugly face, and at the same time, he hurriedly pressed a few buttons on the holographic control panel in front of him, "Master brain! Notify the Genesis Fortress to continue to increase the power!"

"Get rid of this black hole as soon as possible..."

The voice of the shipboard master brain sounded quietly, interrupting Wang Jing's words: "Academician Wang, the output power of the Genesis Fortress has reached the design peak."

"It can no longer be increased at present."

"..."

The communication channel fell into complete silence.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly.

Outside the porthole, as the scale of the event horizon gradually decreases, the number of gray shadows still active inside also decreases rapidly.

Four thousand, two thousand, one thousand, five hundred...

When the number dropped to two hundred, in a violent space-time fluctuation, the first gray shadow successfully passed through the intangible event horizon and entered the anti-universe filled with high-energy particle jets.

The fish pond was dry.

The fish also came ashore.

Under the gaze of everyone, the gray shadow quickly solidified and finally formed a giant scorpion with a broken dark purple "armor" and an extremely ferocious appearance.

This giant scorpion was extremely large. According to the calculation of the shipboard main brain, its body length was even close to one million kilometers.

This is an extremely terrifying number - even a gas giant planet like Jupiter is just a slightly larger basketball in front of it.

This is not over yet.

With the first one, there will be the second, the third...

In just a few seconds, hundreds of gray shadows squeezed out of the event horizon one after another and stood silently in front of tens of thousands of main battleships!

Behind these hundreds of giant scorpions, each larger than the other, the high-energy particle jets ejected by the central black hole showed no sign of stopping, and became their background. Roar

! !

A giant scorpion with a broken body, which was the size of a blue giant star, suddenly opened its four eyes flashing red, staring at the Human Alliance peacekeeping fleet not far away, and at the same time opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a silent roar.

An extremely strong tachyon wave swept past and spread towards the peacekeeping fleet! !
