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 535: The cosmic bubble collapses!
"Warning!"
"Abnormal dimensional fluctuations and abnormal gravitational fluctuations have been detected, and the starship's dimensional upgrade process has stopped!"
The electronic synthesized voice echoed in the starship cockpit: "The ship is trying to return to a three-dimensional state..."
Looking at the bright red pop-up window in the holographic interface, Chen Fan's face changed slightly.
The dimensional upgrade failed.
Correspondingly, the plan to evacuate the anti-universe naturally failed.
He turned his head and looked at the illusory dot in the starry sky that had no color, no size, no volume, and even no practical meaning.
Theoretically, natural singularities can never be directly exposed in the starry sky-even if it is an artificial singularity created by the Genesis Fortress through dimensionality reduction, it can only exist in the special space inside the Genesis Fortress.
Just like the event horizon of a black hole, the singularity is always shielded from the sight of the world.
This is a kind of protection, or...
a ban, a special ban that prevents intelligent creatures from exploring the deeper mysteries of the world and evolved from the universe itself!
But this ban was quietly broken by the peculiar means of the Apophis Scorpion!
The entire universe was also overturned at this moment.
A pure black light spread from that seemingly illusory but definitely existing dot to the surrounding starry sky.
The light was torn.
Observing from a distance, it was as if a bottomless hole appeared in the universe - completely different from the gorgeous picture that appeared when the cosmic membrane broke, this hole did not have a trace of beauty, and it revealed a breath of destruction from the inside out.
"Academician Wang!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan subconsciously cast a look of help to Wang Jing, "We are now..."
Like Chen Fan, Wang Jing's face was also extremely gloomy.
In front of her, the holographic interface flashing with scarlet warning light showed several rapidly fluctuating curves.
"Damn it!"
"The space and time around us are completely messed up!"
She looked at the data in front of her, and a hint of fear appeared on her face: "No, it's not just space and time, the dimensions are also disordered!"
"One dimension, two dimensions, three dimensions, four dimensions..."
"In this starry sky, there are four different dimensions at the same time!"
"What?" Chen Fan was stunned, and for a moment he could not understand the meaning of Wang Jing's words.
How could there be four different dimensions at the same time in the same starry sky?
Before Chen Fan could ask carefully, the change had already occurred.
The starry sky outside the porthole began to distort, and the starlight from afar also became fragmented in the blink of an eye.
Far away.
The black light extending from the singularity crossed the starry sky at lightning speed and easily touched the main battleship that had previously performed the task of guarding the central black hole.
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and others, the main battleship that first touched the black light suddenly lit up with an extremely bright golden light.
That was the light of the battleship's composite shield output power reaching the extreme! !
But...
the black light from the singularity was like the rising tide, slowly flooding over the main battleship with golden light. When the black light covered most of it, the golden light suddenly dimmed.
The huge main battleship also burst into a dazzling white light at this moment!
That was the energy released in the process of dimensionality reduction.
The three-dimensional battleship first turned into an endlessly extended silver filament.
Under the effect of its own mass, these filaments curled up spontaneously, but in the next second, the filaments suddenly expanded and transformed into a silver hypersphere suspended in the black light.
From three dimensions to one dimension, and then from one dimension to four dimensions, in just one second, the state of the main battleship has changed twice in a leap!
In theory, the change of dimensions should be continuous - at least, in the theory of the human union, whether it is dimensionality increase or dimensionality decrease, it is a gradual process.
You can go from three dimensions to two dimensions and then to one dimension, but it is impossible to jump directly from three dimensions to one dimension, and it is even more impossible to jump directly from one dimension to four dimensions!
Such a short time and such a rapid change of dimensions would undoubtedly cause fatal damage to a macroscopic object. At this moment, the silver-white hypersphere structure no longer had any trace of the human alliance warship. It had become a mixture of dense matter and various microscopic particles.
But the changes did not stop.
Four-dimensional, two-dimensional, one-dimensional, three-dimensional...
This mixture was changing its own dimensions in the black light, and its own structure was rapidly collapsing in this rapid change. In the end, it became a chaotic and disordered particle aggregate!
Suddenly.
In Chen Fan's shocked eyes, the momentum of the change of this particle aggregate suddenly stopped, and then spontaneously collapsed towards the center in the flashing black light.
"The basic rules... have also been disordered."
Wang Jing's voice was a little trembling.
"And the information flow." Chen Fan took a deep breath and added, "The information flow near the black light has also become extremely disordered."
In the conversation between the two, this spontaneous collapse without any signs quietly ended.
The second naked singularity appeared.
Although the mass of this singularity is far less than that of the naked singularity in the central black hole, under the influence of the surrounding black light, no event horizon is formed around it - a little bit of faint black light extends from it, and finally merges into the monstrous black light of the central black hole singularity!
The speed of the tide formed by the black light also increased a bit at this moment!
It pounced on the nearest human alliance warship with its fangs and claws!
Chen Fan subconsciously held his breath. He looked at the amazing scene in the holographic interface with a shocked expression, and a flash of enlightenment flashed through his mind.
This is an assimilation!
This is... an endless chaos and destruction!!
"... Run."
Her lips trembled slightly, and she squeezed out a word with difficulty.
The next moment, she suddenly raised her hand and connected the communication link with the peacekeeping fleet: "Run! Run!!"
"Don't let the warships touch that black light!!!"
...
Wang Jing's hoarse shouting sounded in the communication link, completely breaking the dead silence in the starry sky.
Chen Fan's brain, which was a little sluggish due to overwork, finally reacted belatedly.
Run!
Run! !
Looking at the main battleships that were swallowed by the black light one after another, Chen Fan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
What on earth is that black light? !
Even the main battleships of the Human Alliance can't withstand its erosion!
As doubts emerged in his mind, Chen Fan hurriedly opened the holographic control panel: "Jump, jump immediately!"
Beside him, Isa and Redstone also quickly completed many preparations before the jump.
Boom!
At the moment when Chen Fan pressed the jump button, a violent vibration came from the deck under his feet, and then several bright red abnormal status warning messages popped up on the holographic interface.
[Attention! ]
[Abnormal space structure detected! ]
[Abnormal gravity around the ship detected! ]
[Warning! Failed to generate wormhole! Failed to start the jump engine! ]
"Damn..."
Chen Fan's face changed slightly: "Redstone, prepare to start the curvature engine!"
"Since the wormhole cannot be generated normally, we will use the next level of curvature to navigate!"
Redstone nodded calmly and quickly adjusted the various parameters of the starship.
[Curvature bubble is being generated...]
[Warning! Failed to generate curvature bubble!]
[Failed to start curvature engine!]
"Fuck!"
Looking at the warning pop-up windows that kept popping up in front of him, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but burst out a swear.
Dimensional upgrade failed, jump failed, and even curvature navigation couldn't be carried out!
What the hell is this!
"Conventional navigation!"
Looking at the branch fleet that was swallowed up by the black light in just a few seconds and turned into countless new singularities, Chen Fan's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he loudly issued the last order: "One, connect to the starship control system and assist in switching to conventional navigation!"
...
Boom!!!
With a flash of black light behind the investigator starship, the shocking explosion suddenly dispelled the darkness of the surrounding starry sky.
In this expanding firelight, the investigator starship and the research ship shot out and flew straight towards the starry sky away from the black light.
——Working fluid propulsion technology.
The starship is driven by the huge energy generated by dark matter and dark matter decay. This low-level technology used by people as a basic security guarantee has blossomed with unprecedented brilliance at this moment!
"Current speed: 0.3c, the space stabilization system in the ship is operating normally."
Yi's voice sounded in the cockpit: "It is expected to accelerate to 0.5c in ten minutes and 0.7c in thirty minutes."
"This machine has calculated the spread speed of the black light. Theoretically, we have temporarily escaped from danger."
"Huh..."
Hearing this, Chen Fan and his friends, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a close call. If it weren't for the conventional navigation system, we would have..."
Beside him, Hongshi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead: "By the way, Academician Wang, what exactly is that black light?"
"..."
Hongshi's question did not receive any response.
Chen Fan's heart jumped, and he quickly turned his head to look at the holographic communication interface.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere in the investigator's starship, Wang Jing's expression at this time was still extremely solemn.
She sat in the driving seat of the scientific research ship, her beautiful eyes staring at the holographic interface in front of her.
"Academician Wang?"
Chen Fan frowned and followed Wang Jing's gaze.
With just one glance, his face, which had just regained some color, returned to pale white again.
"Fuck..."
After a long time, he squeezed out an interjection from the depths of his throat.
...
The actions of the investigator starship and the research ship were like a signal.
One after another, visible black light beams appeared in the starry sky. In the continuous explosions and flames, the peacekeeping fleet that stayed in the starry sky finally began to accelerate slowly.
Unlike curvature and jump technology, working fluid navigation needs to follow the most basic laws of motion.
The proud mass and size of the Human Alliance warship have become a burden at this time-compared with the small investigator starship, the acceleration of the warship is obviously much smaller.
It is for this reason that the peacekeeping fleet behind has not escaped the crisis.
The black light spread unscrupulously in the starry sky, chasing the peacekeeping fleet that tried to escape.
One, two, three...
One after another, the main battleships that were accelerating at full speed were caught up by the black light, and in a high-frequency dimensional change, they turned into countless basic particles, and finally collapsed into new singularities.
"The peacekeeping fleet is in trouble!"
Chen Fan murmured in a low voice.
"I roughly calculated that the peacekeeping fleet will lose about three-quarters of the main battleships." Wang Jing's hoarse voice suddenly sounded, "But this is not the key."
"The real problem..."
"It's the Genesis Fortress."
Chen Fan was stunned and subconsciously cast his eyes on the Genesis Fortress located behind the battlefield.
Unlike the battleship, the Genesis Fortress, which is a light-year scale, has no designed working fluid navigation system at all - with this size and mass, even if a star is directly smashed on it, it is estimated that it will not make much waves!
In other words, this behemoth can only move through curvature and jump!
Until now, the huge Genesis Fortress is still quietly staying in place.
And in front of it, the black light is spreading towards it without any scruples! !
"Damn..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan's face became more and more ugly.
Compared with the peacekeeping fleet, the loss of the Genesis Fortress is the most unacceptable!
This is the strategic weapon of the Human Alliance! !
Even for the Human Alliance, it takes a huge amount of resources to build a Genesis Fortress! !
One wave
has not settled, another wave has risen. Before everyone could react, a deeper change occurred!
Perhaps it was because it had swallowed enough Human Alliance warships to accumulate enough energy, or perhaps the explosion of the central black hole naked singularity reached its extreme, and a trace of abnormal change suddenly appeared in the depths of the black light.
The faintly visible gorgeous light was reflected, forming a series of constantly changing light bands in the torn black light.
Looking at the extremely familiar gorgeous light bands, Chen Fan's eyes widened instantly.
That was...
the scene outside the cosmic membrane!
The next second.
Wow!!!
It was as if a huge hole was torn in the starry sky, and the looming gorgeous light band suddenly expanded, and the starry sky originally shrouded in black light also added some strange colors.
But behind this gorgeous scene, it was filled with a strong breath of death-endless polluted information flow, pouring down at this moment.
The anti-universe bubble collapsed in advance!
...
"Ding-Ding-"
The harsh alarm sounded in the cockpit: "Ultra-high intensity information entropy fluctuations detected!"
Feeling the polluted information flow running around in the starry sky, Chen Fan felt that he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The almost stagnant thinking slowly fluctuated, and an idea emerged from his mind with difficulty.
This is the final revenge of the Apophis giant scorpion at the cost of his life.
Detonate the central black hole to induce the rapid collapse of the entire universe! !
In this process, the human fleet inside the universe bubble and restricted by the naked singularity from upgrading and jumping dimensions...
The only ending is annihilation!
This is a dead end for the peacekeeping fleet! !
Like Chen Fan, Wang Jing also quickly figured out this series of chain reactions.
She looked bleak, leaning weakly on the seat behind her, staring blankly at the gradually bizarre scene outside the porthole.
In the distance.
The peacekeeping fleet was still trying hard to speed away from the black light, but...
in the event of the cosmic bubble collapsing prematurely, everything became futile.
Deep confusion flashed in her eyes, and she whispered:
"We... failed?"
