Chapter 583 Macro Barriers

The reaction was completely different from Fang Yunsheng's.

At this moment, in the "battery compartment" of the Genesis Fortress, Chen Fan's face was full of surprise and confusion.

"One hundred thousand pan-universe spans..."

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again.

After making sure that he had not made a mistake, he finally couldn't help but burst out a swear word: "This, this is too exaggerated..."

Indeed.

After waking up from his deep sleep, his consciousness body inexplicably received a wave of epic enhancements, and his current "car" is also a large Genesis Fortress with powerful performance.

But...

In any case, the distance spanned by this coordinate jump is a bit too outrageous-if it is inside the main universe of the human union, the distance of this coordinate jump is at most only 10 billion light years.

Looking at the unchanging deep darkness outside the Genesis Fortress, Chen Fan couldn't help but have an incredible idea in his mind.

If the many routes in the hyperspace membrane area are regarded as normal ground roads, then the projection space where the fleet is located is undoubtedly a super-high-speed channel built in the air!

And it is a naturally formed high-speed cross-universe waterway that belongs to the ninth-level civilization!

"No wonder those giant scorpions can directly invade across such a long distance..."

Chen Fan muttered in a low voice, and the uneasiness in his eyes became stronger again. Compared with the Human Union, the Apophis Giant Scorpion has a fairly mature black hole information bridge jump technology. In other words, every time the Apophis Giant Scorpion successfully locks the coordinates of a singularity, it means that a universe belonging to the Human Union is invaded.

The entire invasion process may only take a few seconds!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's sense of urgency was strengthened again.

He felt it carefully and estimated the distance between the fleet and the Apophis mother universe again in his mind. If the unknown suffix factor is excluded, the fleet only needs less than two hundred such jumps to successfully reach the destination!

"Two hundred consecutive coordinate jumps..."

Chen Fan's eyes twitched a few times, and he complained to himself: "Fuck, I haven't done as much as I have!"

Having said that, he still silently sent a brand new message to the Genesis Fortress.

"Second coordinate jump, countdown 30 seconds, get ready."

...

Twice, five times, ten times...

The strong information fluctuation is like a constantly flashing sharp arrow, which shuttles rapidly in this deep and dark projection space, sometimes becoming bright and dazzling, and sometimes returning to dimness.

Every time it flashes, the coordinates of this information fluctuation will change in a leap.

But...

if you observe the coordinates of each change in connection, you can find that although the flashing frequency of the information fluctuation is constantly increasing over time, the amplitude of the coordinate change of each information fluctuation is continuously decaying.

Chen Fan discovered this phenomenon during the sixth jump.

To be precise, it was discovered when the fifth jump was completed and the sixth jump was just beginning - from the initial 100,000 pan-universe spans, to less than 80,000 pan-universe spans later.

At first, Chen Fan thought it was a normal attenuation phenomenon caused by excessive fatigue.

So, after the fifth jump was completed, he took a short rest and waited until his condition was basically restored before making the next jump, but the result was not only no improvement, but the jump distance even dropped sharply!

Especially after discovering that the mysterious suffix at the end of the second coordinate parameter had not changed at all, Chen Fan truly realized the seriousness of the problem.

After ten consecutive jumps, seeing that the coordinate parameter had changed to less than 30,000 pan-universe spans, Chen Fan could only temporarily stop modifying the coordinate parameters and return to the [Gaia] planetary fortress.

"...I have reason to suspect that the fleet has encountered some invisible macro-barrier."

Chen Fan, who had just emerged from the medical cabin, closed his eyes slightly and leaned back on the driver's seat behind him. At the same time, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his temple, trying to relieve the faint fatigue imprinted deep in his consciousness.

"Macro barrier?"

Hongshi was the first to ask, "What does this mean?"

"To put it simply, I suspect we have encountered a wall that is invisible to the naked eye." Chen Fan sighed and talked about the changes in the ten coordinate jumps. "The jump distance is getting shorter and shorter, and the resistance felt when modifying the coordinates is also gradually increasing."

"The last time I encountered such a situation was when I was in the microcosm of the Creation Land."

"At that time, I tried to break through the blockade of the cosmic membrane. During the breakthrough, I also felt this kind of resistance that is difficult to describe in words."

"More importantly..."

Chen Fan put down the fingers that were rubbing his temples and gently tapped on a specially marked number in the holographic interface.

"The suffix of the Apophis mother universe is [28], and ours is [32]." Chen Fan's voice was a little dull. "After ten full coordinate jumps, this number has not changed at all."

"Can we try to break through this macro barrier?" Fang Yunsheng's voice came from the communication channel.

"It's a bit difficult."

Chen Fan shook his head, his eyes showing even more helplessness: "If I want to break through the barrier, I have to know the exact location of the barrier, right?"

"But the problem is, I can't find the barrier at all."

"The projection space around the fleet is still the same as before, there is no difference at all."

Hearing this, Fang Yunsheng fell into complete silence.

Just as Chen Fan said, it is not terrible to encounter a barrier, as long as you find a way to get through it. The terrible thing is that you can clearly sense the existence of some kind of resistance, but you can't find the source of the resistance at all!

"Has the information stream broadcast received a response from the main universe?"

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject.

"Not yet."

Fang Yunsheng answered subconsciously: "So far, the fleet has released hundreds of billions of the highest intensity information stream broadcasts to the main universe, but without exception, the fleet has not received any form of interpretable signals from the surrounding projection space."

Hearing this, Chen Fan's face dimmed again.

The fleet was blocked again, and there was no response to the information stream broadcast.

After finally solving the problem of fleet navigation, new problems appeared one after another. No matter who it was, it was inevitable to have some negative emotions at this moment.

On the other side, as if to prove his words, Fang Yunsheng subconsciously hooked his fingers and opened a holographic interface.

There were several densely distributed curves lying in a straight line at the bottom, and a large number of complex parameters that were changing rapidly.

"Look..."

Fang Yunsheng's voice stopped abruptly.

Chen Fan also subconsciously raised his head and cast a puzzled look at the communication interface in front of him: "Captain Fang..."

Like Fang Yunsheng, Chen Fan's voice also paused at this moment.

Under the gaze of the two, the curve that was originally straight and without any fluctuation suddenly jumped, and then began to slowly climb up at an extremely small angle.

"This, this, this, this, the main universe has responded to the information?!" Fang Yunsheng looked at the curve with surprise and joy, and suddenly stood up from his seat, "Quick! Check which direction this information fluctuation comes from!"

Before the inspection results came out, Chen Fan's face had become ugly.

"Something is wrong!"

"That's not the direction of the main universe!!"

As the voice fell, the slope of the curve in the holographic interface suddenly increased! !

"Beep-beep-beep-"

The harsh alarm sound also echoed in the communication channel!

In a flash, Chen Fan suddenly realized: "It was attracted by our information flow broadcast!!"

"Damn it!"

Fang Yunsheng came to his senses at the first time: "Silence all ships! Stop sending information flow broadcasts immediately!!"

Wow! ! !

The moment the order was issued, the fleet that was originally "extraordinarily lively" on the information flow frequency band instantly returned to silence.

As if sensing the fleet's unusual behavior, the rising information flow intensity curve in the holographic interface stopped growing and fell back to the previous horizontal line area at an extremely fast speed.

"This..."

Looking at the information flow intensity curve that changes with the fleet's behavior, Fang Yunsheng's pupils suddenly dilated, and his originally calm heart also beat violently.

"Who is the enemy?"

Fang Yunsheng subconsciously lowered his voice, and his originally somewhat relaxed spirit was completely tense.

"Enemy?" Isa on the side exclaimed softly, and then hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, "Then... Commander Fang, could that be our enemy?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, but..."

Fang Yunsheng looked solemn, raised his hand and made a gesture of preparation for war to the many officers in the command center: "The other party's behavior pattern of quickly hiding itself usually only appears in the enemy camp or on the battlefield."

On the other side.

Chen Fan did not respond to Fang Yunsheng's words.

He closed his eyes tightly and sat motionless on the chair.

A moment.

Under the gaze of Fang Yunsheng, Hongshi and others, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes filled with confusion.

"Strange..."

Chen Fan shook his head in confusion: "From the frequency and fluctuation pattern of the information flow before it disappeared, the source of this information flow is neither the Apophis giant scorpion nor the Human Union."

"Could it be a broadcast civilization?"

"Impossible, I am very familiar with the information flow characteristics of broadcast civilization." Chen Fan denied Hongshi's guess without hesitation.

Fang Yunsheng, who had an unwarranted association with the ghost fleet from the beginning, whispered: "Then... could it be a ghost fleet?"

"..."

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, and shook his head after hesitating for a long time: "I'm afraid not."

"The information flow fluctuations of the ghost fleet are not like this."

"Then..." Fang Yunsheng's face was a little ugly, "It can only be an unknown third-party civilization."

"This is not good news..."

Chen Fan knew what Fang Yunsheng meant-the civilization that can enter the projection space and move freely in it can only be a very powerful ninth-level civilization.

You know, if there was no Chen Fan, the current Human Union would not be able to explore this area at all!

The atmosphere in the flagship command center and the Gaia planetary fortress suddenly became heavy, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the smoothly running curves, trying to find sporadic clues from them.

As for Chen Fan...

he relied on his innate advantages and directly transformed into a humanoid radar, scanning the space around the fleet in circles.

Suddenly!

"Here it comes!!"

In Chen Fan's low voice, the information flow intensity curve that had returned to calm suddenly soared, and a shadow also appeared silently in front of the fleet.

The next second.

The white light flickered slowly, and the dilapidated but extremely familiar warships were arranged in a neat formation, emerging one by one from nothing.

"...What the hell?!"

"Ghost Fleet?!!"

Seeing the ghost fleet that he had long since excluded gradually reveal its true form, Chen Fan jumped up from his seat in shock: "How is this possible?!"

Before he could come to his senses, the strange information fluctuations gradually disappeared, replaced by waves of extremely familiar information flows.

This is right, this is the ghost fleet encountered in the anti-universe and node universe!

Chen Fan stood in front of the holographic porthole, staring blankly at the fleet filled with tragic atmosphere.

After the initial shock gradually subsided, Chen Fan quickly noticed an abnormal phenomenon-compared with the node universe and anti-universe period, the size of this ghost fleet seemed to have shrunk a lot.

Just by observing with the naked eye, the shrinkage of this fleet is at least more than 70%!

Between the fluorescent flashes, a familiar stream of information came whistling.

[Your Majesty, I finally found you. ]

...

After confirming the identity of the other party, the alarm was temporarily lifted, and the nervous expression on Fang Yunsheng's face was obviously much better.

Of course, the fleet's weapon system still maintained an activated state-the strange information flow displayed by the ghost fleet at the beginning made Fang Yunsheng feel a little uneasy.

"Ghost Fleet... No, I should call you the Xinaluo civilization, right?"

Unlike Fang Yunsheng, Chen Fan has sent a communication message to the ghost fleet as a representative of the fleet.

In the dark space, the white light flickered slowly. After waiting for five minutes, the other party sent a brief information flow again.

[Yes, and no.]

"???"

Chen Fan frowned immediately: "What do you mean by this?"

[Sorry, Your Majesty.]

This time, the information flow from the ghost fleet was particularly fast.

"...No more?" Chen Fan waited silently for a long time. After confirming that the ghost fleet had no intention of explaining, he looked at the other party in astonishment, "Where is your explanation?"

"Also, why did your information flow characteristics change so much?"

[...]

This time, Chen Fan waited for a particularly long time.

Five minutes, ten minutes...

Just when Chen Fan felt a little impatient, the information flow roared from the ghost fleet again.

[Because... there is bait.]

[Sorry, Your Majesty, I can't tell you too much information.]

Hearing this familiar words, Chen Fan's mind suddenly emerged with the three major prophecies obtained by Kraken.

At that time, Kraken also said something similar -

"To reduce deviation?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and asked cautiously.

[Yes.] This time, the ghost fleet gave a positive answer.

"Okay."

Chen Fan reluctantly accepted this explanation: "Then your purpose this time is..."

[Guide.]

The moment the information flow was transmitted, the ghost fleet, which had been silent before, quickly spread and quickly surrounded the Z619 expedition fleet where Chen Fan was! !
