Chapter 415 The Long River of Information
100 light years away from the Xinaluo star system, in the TE1571 research vessel.
Wang Jing casually wore a white research robe. To save trouble, she tied her beautiful long hair that was originally scattered on her shoulders into a high ponytail.
She sat in the main driving seat, holding her chin with one hand and operating the console in front of her with the other hand.
The holographic interface above the console showed the starry sky portrait hanging in the Xinaluo Palace.
Wang Jing frowned slightly and whispered in a low voice: "The place of creation?"
A trace of obvious confusion flashed in her eyes: "And it is in a star field 15,000 light years away..."
After a moment of silence, Wang Jing asked in a deep voice: "Master brain, where is our detector?"
As soon as the voice fell, a huge star map suddenly appeared in the holographic interface above the main console.
In the star map, with the TE1571 research ship as the center, countless bright red dots formed a spherical surface that slowly expanded outwards - these densely packed red dots were all basic self-splitting detectors!
After a period of self-replication, the number of detectors has now grown to an astronomical figure!
But...
looking at the numbers on the side of the star map that kept jumping upwards, representing the scale of the detectors and the maximum detection distance, Wang Jing frowned even deeper.
"Too slow."
"Master brain, stop all detection of surrounding galaxies and focus on self-replication."
"Redefine the detection area..." Wang Jing raised his hand and gently drew a spherical surface on the holographic interface that was far beyond the previous range, "With the Xinaluo star system as the center, all emission nebulae within a range of 15,000 to 20,000 light years!"
Since the Xinaluo civilization has not yet given the accurate coordinates of the place of creation, and emission nebulae are very common in the universe, Wang Jing can only use this stupid method of carpet search.
Detailed modeling of all emission nebulae within the designated range, and then detailed calculation and comparison of their interiors...
As long as the starry sky in the portrait really existed, she would definitely be able to find the location of the original mother star of the Xinaluo civilization, and thus confirm the authenticity of Queen Xinaluo's words!
However...
this work requires a certain amount of waiting time.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
Wang Jing bent her fingers and tapped the console in front of her rhythmically: "Strange... How did the stable high-dimensional channel come into being..."
Just as Wang Jing was talking to herself, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the calm cockpit of the scientific research ship!
"Warning!"
The electronic synthesis voice of the shipboard main brain suddenly sounded: "Academician Wang, this ship has detected an extremely high-intensity abnormal space-time field fluctuation."
"Space-time field fluctuation?!"
"Can the interference of large celestial bodies be ruled out?" Wang Jing's calm expression suddenly fluctuated. She stood up and asked repeatedly, "What is the specific intensity? What are the coordinates?"
It's no wonder that she reacted so strongly. According to the previous detection results and the explanation of the Xinaluo civilization, there are almost no other civilizations in this universe. Correspondingly, the space-time field fluctuation caused by curvature navigation is almost impossible.
But now...
after excluding various possible interference factors, the abnormal fluctuation of the space-time field must mean that an unknown abnormal situation has occurred!
Swish!
The interface of the space-time field fluctuation detector quickly popped up in the holographic interface.
Looking at the amazing intensity number and a rising curve that almost pierced the sky, Wang Jing couldn't help but take a breath.
OK!
Why should we consider the interference of large celestial bodies?
I'm afraid that most level 8 civilizations can't produce such a high-intensity instantaneous curvature fluctuation! !
"This curvature fluctuation was born in a giant emission nebula 15,273 light years away."
As the electronic synthesis sounded, an unusually large red nebula appeared in front of Wang Jing.
"A diameter of nearly 8,000 light years..."
Wang Jing looked at the many parameters given by the shipboard main brain, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy: "Could this be the place of creation?"
"The high-intensity instantaneous curvature fluctuation just now..."
Wang Jing slightly widened her eyes: "Could it be caused by the starry sky Zerg?!"
Thinking of this, Wang Jing could no longer sit still.
She stood up and gave an order in a stern voice: "Quick! Let the nearest detector go to that nebula to explore the situation!"
...
At the same time.
"The signal of the prayer ceremony..."
Chen Fan thought and carefully controlled the curvature of the space around the consciousness body.
This was his first time using the consciousness body for curvature navigation. Due to his lack of experience, his control of the curvature of space was inevitably a bit rough. At the same time, he lacked the corresponding precise measurement tools, so he didn't know how far he had flown in an instant.
So...
now he can only carefully control the curvature of the space around his body, slow down as much as possible, and move closer to the previous coordinates - since he appeared in that area, he had reason to suspect that the prayer signal of the Xinaluo civilization would also appear in that area.
In the process of returning to the starting coordinates, Chen Fan belatedly discovered a strange phenomenon.
Space should be a very tough thing. If conventional scientific and technological means are used, even only the fourth-level civilization that has mastered antimatter can barely change the density and shape of space, and even this requires extremely terrifying energy consumption!
But in front of him, space is like a dough that can be kneaded at will.
As long as he has a thought, the inexplicable fluctuations from his body can easily change many properties of space.
Just like high-dimensional resonance and information pollution of the type of using one's own strength to defeat another, this is definitely not an ability that a normal person can possess!
Until then, Chen Fan belatedly recalled Kraken's respectful attitude towards him just now - could it be that... the object of Kraken's respect was not the human alliance behind him, but himself?
"Who am I...?"
Looking at the seemingly endless red nebula around him, Chen Fan's eyes were blank, and for the first time he asked this ultimate philosophical question from the bottom of his heart.
In terms of soul, he should be the failed private detective who was born from Blue Star and traveled through time because of a sudden car accident.
In terms of body, he should be an ordinary Varela who was born from the Varela civilization because of taking an overdose of sleeping pills.
Separately, both are ordinary carbon-based life forms that cannot be more ordinary.
But...
the combination of the two formed him who was far different from ordinary people!
There was no sound in the vast starry sky, and no one could answer his soliloquy.
"Here..."
Chen Fan felt the residual fluctuations in the surrounding time and space, and realized that he had returned to his original position.
He calmed down, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind that could not get results for the time being, and carefully felt the information in the starry sky.
Gradually, he felt a bit familiar.
Just like the obscure murmurs heard in the high-dimensional resonance, the many messages transmitted in the starry sky gradually appeared in his mind.
At the information level, the seemingly empty and silent starry sky is actually quite lively.
Endless stars unconsciously transmit various tedious and fragmentary information to the universe.
Needless to say, extreme celestial bodies such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes are like cranes standing among chickens. The information they transmit has extremely strong penetration and high clarity.
Even planets can make some insignificant shouts to this deep starry sky.
Chen Fan closed his eyes and controlled the space beside him, wandering in the starry sky as if strolling, while listening carefully to these ancient sounds that were born billions or even tens of billions of years ago.
Suddenly.
He stopped his steps.
At the same time, an extremely clear voice sounded in his mind, briefly covering the fragmentary murmurs from various stars.
[Star God, your loyal believer Ophelia prays to you...]
Found it!
Chen Fan opened his eyes suddenly, and joy appeared in his eyes.
In his eyes, this prayer message from Xinaluo was like a river wandering in the starry sky. He could clearly feel the flow rate of the "river" and the changes in the "river water", so as to determine the source and direction of the "river".
For him, this was as instinctive as eating, drinking water and breathing.
Without any thinking, and unable to explain the thinking process, in short, just by taking a glance, Chen Fan found the direction of Xinaluo based on this message.
He moved his body and quickly floated forward against the long river of information.
Suddenly.
The long river was quietly interrupted in the empty starry sky. With the four-dimensional perspective, Chen Fan saw a hyperspherical "hole" at the interruption of the long river of information.
The long river of information was slowly flowing out of this "hole".
"This is..." Looking at the picture in front of him, a flash of enlightenment flashed through Chen Fan's mind, "Natural high-dimensional channel?"
He did not hesitate and went straight to the "hole".
Wow!!!
The sky was spinning.
It was the same feeling as when he was pulled to this star field.
When the dizziness gradually disappeared, a familiar star field appeared in front of him.
In a star system filled with various mechanical equipment, a planet tightly surrounded by a large number of mechanical devices quietly hung in the starry sky.
The prayer ceremony seemed to have come to an end - the long river of information began to slowly dissipate, and the dense starlight that gathered above the planet, as if it were real, also began to gradually dissipate.
Chen Fan thought and floated silently above the huge hole.
Perhaps because of his arrival, the already solid starlight changed again.
Like some kind of condensation nucleus, the starlight wrapped around his consciousness and slowly outlined a human figure in the vast space.
Looking down along the hole, Chen Fan happened to see himself sitting on the prayer platform, Ophelia and Artesia kneeling beside him, and...
Red Stone, whose eyes were full of horror, slightly opened his rosy lips, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
...
The place of creation.
A few minutes after Chen Fan's consciousness entered the high-dimensional channel.
Along with a slight fluctuation of space and time, several bugs that were roughly the size of asteroids appeared in the starry sky.
They looked around and searched, trying to find some traces of the remaining space.
As if they had discovered something, they communicated with each other and disappeared again in the visible universe.
