Chapter 303: Withdrawal and the Hermu Plan
This is the edge of the Bray Galaxy.
The already thin interstellar matter is even more undetectable in this area, and the high-purity vacuum makes this place almost a forbidden zone for life.
Suddenly, a strong space-time fluctuation whizzed past, and a standard wormhole slowly took shape in the deep and dark starry sky.
After a short wait, the huge fleet jumped out of the wormhole and appeared abruptly in this empty starry sky.
"One, check the jump coordinates."
Chen Fan gave an order to One in an unprepossessing earth-yellow starship.
There was almost no waiting time. With the help of the relative positions of dozens of pulsars, the shipboard main brain gave the corresponding answer.
"It is still five hundred light years away from [Turbine]."
Looking at the information popped up on the main console interface, Chen Fan and the two assistants did not show any surprise on their faces.
This five hundred light-year deviation was not a jump accident, but a safe distance set by One after strict calculation-the wormhole jump will produce quite strong space-time fluctuations. For advanced civilizations, this kind of space-time fluctuation is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark.
【Turbine】As the key creation of the Bray civilization, there must be quite a lot of observation equipment around it.
Spacetime has a strong self-repair ability. Whether it is a wormhole or curvature navigation, these abnormal ripples will quickly dissipate in the ocean of spacetime.
At the same time, as a level 7 civilization, the detection accuracy of the equipment of the Bray civilization is not high.
Therefore, it only takes a little distance for the Bray civilization to hardly detect the birth and disappearance of wormholes.
"Brother Fan, look over there!" Gao Yuan
exclaimed beside him.
Chen Fan subconsciously turned his head and looked at the porthole beside Gao Yuan.
The starlight came across thousands of light years, and it was extremely dim under the cover of various interstellar dust.
Outside the porthole, there was an empty star field covering a radius of 300 light years.
In the center of this empty star field, a point of extremely dazzling light was silently flashing, and its brightness far exceeded the scattered starlight around it, and it was even enough to become the beacon of enlightenment for this star field!
In the universe, such a strange scene is rare.
Isa stood up, came to Chen Fan, and stared at the light in the darkness with her big, flickering eyes, muttering in a low voice: "What is that..."
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be our destination, [Turbine]."
Chen Fan replied in a deep voice.
As soon as he thought about it, the high-precision observation equipment on the [Varilla] quickly went online, and all kinds of lenses and antennas were aimed at the dazzling light that kept flashing.
The complex data and information were processed by Yihe's shipboard computer and quickly transformed into information that Chen Fan could understand.
"There are thousands of gravitational sources of similar size in the target area."
An electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit: "Based on the simulation calculation of the strength and scale of the gravitational source, there should be thousands of massive stars in the target area."
Chen Fan was secretly shocked: "Thousands of stars gathered together... What on earth is this Bray civilization doing?"
Yi's voice came again: "Just like the Human Alliance uses massive black holes as batteries, these thousands of massive stars should be the energy source of the [Turbine]."
Chen Fan took a deep look at the light spot outside the porthole, and a virtual structure simulated based on the observation data quietly emerged in the holographic interface on the main console-thousands of massive stars of similar size are like mosquito coils, lining up and circling in the starry sky.
The middle of the "mosquito coil" is empty.
It is not difficult to imagine that that should be the location of the [Turbine].
[Varella] began to retreat slowly, retreating directly into the spherical array formed by the four-pointed star fleet.
The belly hatch of the Swamp Abyss 001 colony ship slowly opened, revealing a hole for [Varella] to enter.
Under Yi's precise control, the Varela returned to the 001 colony ship.
A few minutes later,
the space-time fluctuations gradually increased, and a huge curvature bubble appeared again around the four-pointed star fleet.
Swish!
The fleet disappeared silently in the visible universe, and a faint ripple gradually moved away on the space-time ocean.
...
The free trade market of the Blay Alliance.
The Swamp Patrol Fleet silently hovered in a remote corner of the free trade market.
“Captain Olaya…”
Baroka looked longingly at the starships coming and going outside the porthole, staring with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and murmured in a low voice: “I wonder how Lord Chen Fan is doing…”
“It should still be sailing normally.” Olaya raised his hand with difficulty and scratched the deformed tumor on his body. “The territory of the Bray civilization is in the center of the galaxy. It will probably take a long time for them to reach the [Turbine].”
“Really?” Baroka raised his eyebrows slightly, “How high do you think the speed of the Bray civilization’s starships is?”
“I… don’t know.” Olaya shook his head distractedly, “I haven’t paid attention to this information…”
Baroka ignored Olaya’s words and analyzed it by himself: “The radius of the Bray galaxy is as much as 200,000 light-years…”
“Don’t calculate it yet…”
Olaya interrupted Baroka’s words in a trance: “Help me get a piece of star sand, just one.”
"I swear, this is the last one."
After stopping taking Xingsha for a long time, Olaya felt that his brain had completely turned into a mess and he even lost his basic ability to think.
This is an extremely bad feeling.
After experiencing the extremely active thinking, no intelligent creature can tolerate its original mediocrity and dullness.
This forms an extremely powerful withdrawal reaction.
"..." Baroka turned his head silently and looked at his fellow tribesman beside him, "Captain Olaya, you should know that this is impossible."
"Since the day we left the Swamp Abyss Star System, the Council has issued a ban on star sand. Now there is no star sand on our starship at all."
Olaya let out a painful wail, holding his baby fish head tightly with his hands full of tumors: "Damn it! Damn it!!"
He took a few hard breaths, as if he remembered something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Baroka beside him: "Why can you bear this bad feeling?!"
"You secretly drank the star sand, right?!"
"Tell me, where did you hide the star sand!"
In the end, Olaya's voice even revealed a bit of a roar!
Baroka didn't speak.
He looked at Olaya beside him with deep eyes, then slowly turned around and revealed his other arm.
"You..."
Olaya's pupils shrank suddenly, and his body leaned back subconsciously: "What are you doing..."
After spending time with him day and night, Olaya naturally knew Baroka's physical condition.
As a councillor, Baroka, who had been taking higher purity star sand for many years, was much more seriously eroded than him - in addition to the densely packed hyperplastic tumors, there were also several bowl-sized distorted tumors on his arms!
But now...
the bowl-sized tumors have all disappeared, and drops of blue blood slowly seeped out from the wounds!
Those distorted tumors were forcibly removed.
Baroka stood up with some difficulty, took the medical equipment equipped in the cockpit from the side, and simply treated the wound on his arm.
"Captain Olaya."
Baroka's voice was a little hoarse: "My desire for star sand far exceeds yours."
"You may not know, when I was in the council, I drank a bottle of star sand almost every day."
Olaya stared at Baroka, whose complexion was a little pale, and didn't know what to say for a moment: "Then you..."
"I won't take another mouthful of star sand." Baroka's voice was extremely firm, "Our Swamp Abyss civilization was almost destroyed by the star sand."
"If it weren't for Your Excellency Chen Fan, I can't imagine how miserable the Swamp Abyss civilization would have fallen."
Olaya watched Baroka's actions to treat the wound. Perhaps because of excessive shock, the original strong desire for star sand also dissipated a lot.
"The Swamp Abyss people must give up star sand!"
Baroka's voice was sonorous and powerful: "No matter how heavy the price!"
At the same time, a slightly dull message prompt sounded in the cockpit.
"Tachyon communication, it's the tachyon communication of the mother planet!"
Olaya shook his mind.
When he saw the text on the main console screen clearly, he couldn't help but get excited.
He tapped the console in front of him with his cramped fingers.
The interface changed quickly, and a familiar figure appeared on the screen.
"Mr. Chairman, hello."
Baroka performed the etiquette of the Swamp Abyss civilization with a pale face.
On the side, Olaya's eyes moved slightly: Like Baroka, the chairman's complexion was also very bleak, and even the whole person's spirit and energy showed a significant decline.
Just as Baroka said before.
The Council began with itself and issued an order to the Swamp Abyss civilization to completely ban the star sand.
"Is the transaction going well?" The chairman nodded lightly and asked.
"Everything is going well." Baroka responded quickly, "The colony ship and Mr. Chen Fan have gone to the Bree civilization."
Seeing that the chairman's tense expression quickly eased, Baroka hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and asked:
"Mr. Chairman, the Hemu Project..."
"Don't worry." The chairman's haggard face showed a faint smile, "The Hemu Project has officially started."
Hearing this, Baroka was relieved.
The Hemu Project is actually the latest colonization plan of the Swamp Abyss Civilization.
Send the young and middle-aged people of the Swamp Abyss and the elite personnel of the civilization to the target star system, so as to preserve the fire of civilization for the Swamp Abyss civilization.
The reason why the plan was named Hemu is, on the one hand, to avoid being seen by others, and on the other hand...
Hemu is a unique species unique to the Swamp Abyss star.
Those towering giant trees that are like swords pointing to the sky were once the psychological sustenance of the Swamp Abyss people to step into the starry sky!
- They rose up from the muddy soil, then spread their branches and leaves in the sky, and finally formed an unobstructed jungle.
The Swamp Abyss people hope that their civilization will develop in the universe like Hemu.
And now, the Council has placed this hope on the fire of civilization that has left the Swamp Abyss civilization!
