Chapter 386 Voids and Black Holes
"..."
The cockpit of the Varela was extremely quiet.
Chen Fan looked up at the coordinates on the holographic panel of the main console, and then looked at the location where the ghost fleet disappeared for the second time.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Fuck.
The mountain that was pressing on his heart collapsed inexplicably.
Are you sure this ghost fleet is an advanced civilization with strength beyond the Human Union?
Why does he always feel that the style of this ghost fleet is a bit... strange and familiar? !
If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have encountered a similar style of behavior somewhere - yes, it was those unreliable Lothal Panda people.
When Lin transported the investigator starship for him, she had the same style!
To be precise, it is not only the Lothal Panda people who are so unreliable. In fact, many civilizations under the jurisdiction of the Human Union have the same style of behavior.
The reason behind it is not difficult to understand.
Under the protection of the Human Union, coupled with the existence of the Pan-Universe Interstellar Trade Circle, most civilizations can develop themselves peacefully and steadily.
Correspondingly, this peaceful development environment has created a large number of "fun civilizations".
The Lothal civilization is one of the best.
But...
why does the ghost fleet also behave like this?
Could it be that...
the civilization where the other party is also like the human union, advocating peaceful development?
If so, it is undoubtedly excellent news!
In just a moment, Chen Fan made a lot of guesses based on the style of the ghost fleet.
Until Yi's electronic synthesis sounded again:
[The coordinates have been located. ]
At some point, the holographic interface above the main console has been replaced by a huge star map.
On the star map covering the entire node universe, a faint red light spot flashed - it was a slightly smaller hollow structure, less than 100,000 light years away from the Varela star system.
For the entire universe, this distance is already close at hand.
Chen Fan simply checked the star map and space-time field detection equipment, and after confirming that there was no danger in the target area, he issued a command to Yi.
"One, notify Mashu and ask him to use the stargate authority to open a wormhole for us."
The appearance of the ghost fleet is often accompanied by a very strong space-time fluctuation. Since this space-time fluctuation lasts for a very short time, it will not affect the normal curvature navigation, but it will cause great damage to the stability of the wormhole.
Conventional low-power wormholes made by starships cannot withstand such tossing.
So far, the entire human alliance has only the wormhole stabilization device equipped with the stargate that can withstand the instantaneous fluctuations of the appearance of the ghost fleet.
In a few seconds, a strong space-time fluctuation appeared without warning at the edge of the Varela star system. Then, a large wormhole with bright streamers around it slowly emerged, and three starships of different sizes and the distant [Gaia] quickly squeezed into it.
Swish!
The streamer dimmed, and the wormhole dissipated.
The bustling starry sky returned to its former tranquility.
...
Nameless hole.
A dilapidated fleet quietly hung in the dark and deep universe.
The surroundings were extremely empty, and there was almost no matter to be found except for some extremely thin interstellar matter.
The starlight from afar also seemed extremely dim after a long journey.
Soft fluorescence permeated from this fleet that had experienced a shocking battle, and struggled to dispel the darkness of the starry sky.
Suddenly!
Accompanied by strong time and space fluctuations and a glittering wormhole, a bright and beautiful small fleet consisting of three starships appeared out of thin air in the starry sky.
Behind these three small starships, a yellowish-brown planet was struggling to squeeze out of the wormhole.
Buzz...buzz...
the ghost fleet that had been stationary started to move again, and the soft light inside the fleet flashed rapidly for a while, and then...
the ghost fleet disappeared into the visible universe again without any signs.
At the same time.
In the cockpit of the Varela, Chen Fan was looking at the afterimage left by the sudden disappearance of the ghost fleet with a confused face: "...Eh?!"
"Dude?!"
Just as Chen Fan was at a loss, a line of interstellar coordinates in a standard format appeared again on the holographic panel above the main console.
Obviously, this is the meaning of the flashing before the ghost fleet left, and this coordinate is undoubtedly the next destination.
The star map on the side quickly locked this coordinate - it is also a small macroscopic void, about 500,000 light years away.
"No..."
Chen Fan was laughed at by this magical operation: "...What are you doing?!"
If you have the leisure to think about it, wouldn't it be enough to just say the final destination?
Is it necessary to go around in circles like this?
Imagine:
they returned from the node universe to the star gate universe, and then entered the node universe from the star gate universe. They finally arrived at this void, but the ghost fleet disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving them with only the next coordinate point.
Who can bear this?
- Well, for three conventional starships, this process is not difficult, but for [Gaia], this operation is tantamount to taking half of his life...
"Ahem..."
Chen Fan coughed lightly, and looked at [Gaia] who had squeezed out half of his body with a strange expression: "Gaia, um, I have something to discuss with you..."
"What?" [Gaia] was concentrating on fighting with the wormhole of the perfect size at this time, "Second brother, I'm not saying that this wormhole is too small. When will you tell that panda to make the wormhole a little bigger for me? Just a little bit will do. If it goes on like this, I feel that my body will be deformed. Second brother, you should not want to see my perfect body become an ugly ellipsoid..." Ellipsoid
?
That should be impossible. After all, the wormhole is a fairly standard sphere. At most, it will force [Gaia] to lose weight...
Chen Fan moved his lips and suppressed the idea of complaining in his heart.
He coughed hard again, interrupting Gaia's words: "Ahem! Um..." "
The ghost fleet disappeared again, you may have to go back..."
Gaia paused: "Huh?!!"
...
Time passed.
The light of the star gate wormhole continued to emerge in the vast universe, and Chen Fan's fleet continued to flash in every corner of the universe.
Of course.
Gaia's figure did not continue to appear. At this time, he had shrunk in the star gate universe, waiting for the ghost fleet to arrive at its final destination.
Once, twice, three times...
As the number of shuttles increased, gradually, Chen Fan finally realized the law behind the coordinates of the ghost fleet - all the coordinates are located in a certain scale of hollow structures in the node universe.
"Hollow..."
Chen Fan murmured in a low voice.
If the destination of the ghost fleet is the many hollows in the node universe, then the other party's destination seems to be very clear.
Chen Fan looked up and looked at the node universe star map above the main console.
In the center of the star map, there is a huge gap - the central void of the universe, the home of the [Su Zheng] fleet, and also the place where the starry sky zerg appeared!
In addition, it is the location of the anti-universe macro channel in Zero's guess!
Sure enough! !
When Chen Fan's fleet left the star gate wormhole again, the last coordinate was transmitted before the ghost fleet disappeared.
It was the core area of the central void!
But...
what was the purpose of those coordinates before?
Chen Fan looked at the light red scattered coordinate points in the star map that almost surrounded the entire node universe, and his eyes were a little confused.
For this question, not only Chen Fan and the two assistants, but also Academician Wang Jing in the research ship felt a little confused.
"The test results show that there is nothing unusual about these medium-sized voids!"
Wang Jing's murmur came from the communication channel: "If you insist on saying something similar..."
"Maybe there are a certain number and size of black holes in these voids."
Chen Fan's eyes were stern, and he repeated in a low voice: "Black holes?!"
Wang Jing sighed and didn't care about this factor: "Yes, black holes."
"This situation is not uncommon, especially in this universe. Considering the factors of the [Rectification] activities, the existence of black holes in the voids is almost a normal phenomenon."
Chen Fan nodded silently and sent the last message to Mochi, who was far away in the Star Gate Universe and patiently adjusted the Star Gate parameters for them.
"Anyway, since we are here, we have to see what the ghost fleet is selling in the gourd!"
...
Node Universe, the core area of the central large void.
The huge black hole is operating here silently, swallowing every ray of starlight coming from a very far distance.
Not only the starlight, but even those mechanical creations left by [Su Zheng] that were closer could not escape its swallowing!
Swish!
Since [Su Zheng] was wiped out, this uninhabited star field full of ruins and debris has once again seen a gleaming wormhole.
The khaki Varela was the first to jump out of the wormhole and looked at the ghost fleet not far away.
Unlike before, this time, the ghost fleet did not continue to disappear, but quietly docked beside the black hole waiting for Chen Fan.
After noticing Chen Fan's appearance, the ghost fleet flickered again.
Yi took the initiative to import this information into the translation program and quickly completed the deciphering work.
[Come!!!]
A lonely word appeared again in the holographic panel.
The difference from the previous one was that this time, the other party added three exclamation marks after the word.
Before Chen Fan could react, the ghost fleet quietly drifted towards the dark giant black hole.
Wow!!
As Isa called out, the ghost fleet, which was shining with light, suddenly disappeared into the black hole.
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone fell silent at the same time.
[Come!!!]
The starry sky returned to tranquility, and only the lonely words on the holographic panel proved what had just happened.
