Chapter 451 Information Disturbance
"Maybe..."
Hongshi pondered for a moment and made a guess: "The inside of this hatchery tower is full of giant scorpions of low quality?"
As she said that, she once again issued a sinking order to the ship's main brain.
"Anyway, let's go deeper into the hatchery tower first."
Chen Fan stared at the hatchery tower lit by high-power searchlights outside the porthole, and nodded carefully: "This is the only way."
"By the way, try to slow down the sinking speed of the starship."
"I think..."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed with a trace of uneasiness: "This hatchery tower may not be as simple as we thought."
"Maybe it's my illusion. Since entering this hatchery tower, I have always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity..."
Fearing that Hongshi misunderstood, he added again: "I'm not talking about the internal structure of the hatchery tower."
"...Okay."
Although Hongshi was very confused by Chen Fan's meaningless words, she accepted Chen Fan's proposal based on the principle of safety first and quickly adjusted the sinking speed of the investigator starship.
Similar to the high-dimensional information receiving tower of [Suzheng], the hatching tower of the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion also has a very obvious layered structure.
One layer, two layers, three layers...
As the number of layers increases, the internal space of the hatching tower continues to expand, and the spiral column structure also increases rapidly.
Correspondingly, the number of insect eggs attached to the spiral column also suddenly increased several times!
Under the illumination of the high-power searchlight, the layers of translucent insect eggs continued to wriggle with the surging black light.
This scene...
let alone walking through it, just a glance is enough to bring an indelible psychological shadow to ordinary people!
"Tsk..."
Gao Yuan looked at the curious scene outside the porthole with a distorted face. He retched twice and then muttered: "Why do I feel that this hatching tower is like a living creature..."
"Brother Fan, we are not going to get into the stomach of a big scorpion, are we?"
As soon as these words came out, the already solemn atmosphere in the investigator starship changed instantly.
"Gao Yuan!"
Isa's petite body trembled slightly under the wide black robe. She interrupted Gao Yuan's words with a timid look.
Not to mention Isa, even Hongshi, who was insensitive to such dense life forms, couldn't help but frown after hearing Gao Yuan's words - it's not that he was afraid, it's really...
too curious, any normal creature can't stand this kind of thing.
As for Chen Fan...
he didn't respond to Gao Yuan's words, but just stared at the porthole in front of him silently, as if observing something.
But if you walk to his front and observe, you can notice a strange phenomenon: Chen Fan's focus is not on the most eye-catching insect eggs outside the porthole, but wandering around in the seemingly empty hatching tower space.
"Stop!!"
Suddenly, Chen Fan, who had been silent, seemed to see something. He suddenly widened his eyes and shouted at the same time: "Quick! Stop the starship!!" Buzz! !
!
Before Hongshi could react, the shipboard main brain had terminated the previous sinking command according to Chen Fan's command. The starship, which was originally sinking at a uniform speed, instantly hovered steadily in the dark hatch tower space.
"Chen Fan?"
Hongshi sat up straight and subconsciously cast an inquiring look at Chen Fan.
"Something is wrong... There is definitely something wrong with this place!!"
At this time, Chen Fan had stood up from the main driving seat. He walked quickly to the porthole and stared at the space outside the porthole.
The next second.
He turned around suddenly, facing everyone's eyes, and said word by word:
"Open the hatch, I want to go out!"
...
"... Go out?!!" This
word caused a thousand waves.
Chen Fan's words without any sign naturally stimulated Hongshi and others.
"Why?"
After the initial surprise, Redstone was the first to calm down: "Although these eggs have not yet hatched, leaving the starship rashly without figuring out the specific situation will only cause unnecessary danger!"
"If you want to observe those eggs, I can use mechanical arms and shipborne robots to cut and remove them..."
"They are not eggs." Chen Fan glanced at the densely packed eggs outside without caring, "Compared with the earliest eggs, these eggs have not changed much."
Seeing this, Redstone became more and more puzzled: "Then you..."
"There is something wrong with this incubation tower!"
Chen Fan looked at the deep space outside the porthole again: "I vaguely felt an extremely weak information disturbance in the surrounding space."
"Of course, it can also be said to be a fluctuation of information entropy."
Redstone was shocked: "Broadcasting civilization?"
"At present, it cannot be ruled out that it is a high-dimensional signal of broadcasting civilization." Chen Fan frowned, "But this is not the most critical."
Under the gaze of everyone, he raised his hand and patted his forehead gently: "I seem to have felt similar information disturbances somewhere..."
"It's really a ghost!"
Chen Fan cursed in a low voice: "Where the hell can I feel such information disturbance!"
Hongshi did not speak, but subconsciously called up a monitoring map from the control panel in front of him.
On the azure monitoring map, a straight line without fluctuations seemed to extend forward without end.
"Are you sure?"
Hongshi glanced sideways: "The information entropy monitoring device equipped on the Investigator Starship didn't respond at all. Could it be you..."
"The sensitivity of this thing is too low. Don't forget that it almost didn't detect the light stone fluctuations on Xinaluo at that time."
Chen Fan curled his lips unhappily, "After all, it is just a temporary component. The original is still in Wang Jing's research ship!"
"Believe this thing, you might as well believe that I am Qin Shihuang."
"...Tsk."
Hongshi lightly clicked his tongue: "So what you mean..."
"It's very simple. I suspect that the Investigator Starship interfered with my judgment." Chen Fan bent his fingers and knocked on the thick wall and armor beside him. "In order to make sure that the judgment is correct, I have to go out." Hongshi
silently stood up from the co-pilot seat and reached out to close the visor of the exoskeleton armor.
Click.
A clear voice echoed in the cockpit, and then an electronic synthesized voice came from the mechanical exoskeleton: "The internal circulation of the armor has been turned on."
Behind the visor, Hongshi stared at Chen Fan, who was stunned in front of him:
"For safety reasons, I will go with you."
...
Tsk...
In the silent airtight cabin, the sound of air release was very crisp.
"Hongshi, you don't have to come with me."
Looking at the decreasing air pressure, Chen Fan persuaded helplessly: "Information disturbance is not a joke."
"If there is a high-intensity information disturbance, I may not have any problem, but you probably..."
Although Chen Fan did not finish his words, Hongshi still understood what he meant.
"Don't give me that." Hongshi glanced at Chen Fan beside him, "The Administration has regulations that when carrying out extremely dangerous investigation tasks, as long as conditions permit, investigators must investigate in pairs."
"I am complying with the regulations of the Dangerous Technology Administration!"
Seeing Hongshi moving out of the Administration, Chen Fan could only cut off the idea of ​​persuading him - ten of him could not catch up with Hongshi in terms of understanding of the many regulations of the Administration!
"The air pressure has stabilized."
As the pointer touched the 0 mark, an electronic prompt sounded in the airtight cabin.
There is not much gas in the giant scorpion's hatching tower. In a sense, it is not much different from the outside space.
Thanks to the tough outer membrane, the eggs can be directly exposed to the vacuum, which also proves one point from the side - the giant scorpion is a true star creature.
Even in the state of unborn eggs, they can survive in the starry sky!
Buzz...
A slight tremor came from under my feet, and the heavy hatch that was tightly closed in front of me slowly opened. The space in the hatching tower that I had seen through the porthole before was completely revealed to Chen Fan and Hongshi.
"Chen Fan, be careful, these eggs may hatch at any time..."
Before Hongshi's voice fell, Chen Fan, who was standing next to the hatch, jumped lightly, relying on the individual propulsion system of the mechanical exoskeleton, and instantly rushed out of the open hatch.
Learn about the catapult start.
Hongshi stood there in a daze, and tilted his head again: "Huh?!!"
Seeing that Chen Fan was about to escape from the pale golden shield surrounding the investigator starship, Hongshi hurriedly activated the individual propulsion system and chased in the direction of Chen Fan.
Fortunately, Chen Fan did not leave too far away.
After passing through the pale golden shield surrounding the investigator starship, he took the initiative to stop.
Then, with the help of the individual propulsion system and the anti-gravity field in the incubation tower, he quietly floated in the dark and deep space inside the tower, as if floating in the starry sky.
Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the surrounding environment.
After leaving the investigator starship, the previous looming information state fluctuations have become particularly obvious!
Chen Fan stayed where he was and whispered to himself, "It is true..."
"Chen Fan!"
Hongshi's voice came from the team's communication channel, and then a figure hurriedly caught up with Chen Fan's footsteps: "Did you find anything?"
"The shield and armor of the starship affect the information disturbance."
Chen Fan looked up at the entrance of the hatchery tower, which had shrunk to the size of a sesame eye: "It seems that my initial feeling was not wrong."
"I am afraid that there is a certain intensity of information disturbance inside the entire hatchery tower."
"In addition, the information disturbance at the top of the hatchery tower is the slightest. As the sinking depth increases, the intensity of the information disturbance is also increasing..."
"In this way, the source of this information disturbance is very easy to determine."
Chen Fan's murmur suddenly paused, and he looked down at the bottomless abyss below and the flickering white light at the bottom of the abyss: "It is not a high-dimensional broadcast emitted by the broadcasting civilization, but..."
"The light stone at the bottom!"
"These giant scorpions seem to have used some special method to slowly release the information disturbance contained in the light stone!"
