Chapter 490 Star Deployment and Wormhole Array
Perhaps because of what Fang Yunsheng said in advance, the crew members of the two warships were quite kind to Chen Fan.
At the moment when Chen Fan made the request, the two warships dragged the planet behind them towards the predetermined coordinates without hesitation.
Even in the vast starry sky, facing a 100,000-meter-class warship still brought an unprecedented shock to the people in the starship-100,000 meters, that is, 100 kilometers, which can almost be said to be a city flying in the starry sky!
As for the red dwarf star following behind this battleship, let alone.
Even if the red dwarf star is a small one among the main sequence stars, its scale is far greater than that of a conventional gas giant planet.
In front of such a star, even a 100,000-meter-scale warship is just a tiny dust.
In comparison, the warship towing the neutron star is much more low-key.
The diameter of the neutron star is only 13 kilometers, even only one-tenth of the size of the battleship.
But within this 13-kilometer-long star, there is an extremely violent force hidden - the surface temperature of more than one million degrees Celsius makes the entire planet emit a dazzling deep blue light, and to match it is a strong gravity that is strong enough to overcome the strong interaction force!
The star, which is only 13 kilometers long, is perfectly hidden in this deep blue light. With the help of the visual assistance system, Chen Fan and others can see the extremely smooth surface of the neutron star through this layer of light.
The mass of the neutron star far exceeds that of the red dwarf star, so the warship towing it has to sail much slower.
Watching this planet emitting dazzling blue light slowly drifting outside the porthole, Chen Fan couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead - if it weren't for the protection of the investigator starship, they would have become a pile of microscopic particles on the surface of the neutron star.
Time passed by bit by bit.
The warship towing the red dwarf star arrived at the predetermined coordinates first. It slowly rotated in the empty starry sky, and the surrounding space and time also showed some slight distortion.
Its gravitational field has begun to spread slowly around at the speed of light, but due to its small mass, the range that this gravitational field can eventually affect will not be too large - it is estimated that it can only reach the entrance of the warp channel not far away.
Chen Fan's heart moved, and he cast his eyes on the deep blue neutron star.
It is the key core of building a gravitational bond - not only is its own mass and gravitational field strong, but it is also closer to the entrance of the warp channel.
Under the traction of the battleship, the neutron star drew a deep gully in the ocean of time and space, and slowly and firmly arrived at that key node.
When both planets successfully "entered orbit", the space-time field monitoring screen above the starship's main console, which was constantly fluctuating and deforming, gradually stabilized, and two gravitational fields, one large and one small, that were spreading outward in rotation, were also clearly presented in the monitoring screen.
The neutron star and the red dwarf are dozens of light years apart. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least five years for the gravitational fields of the two to make initial contact.
Chen Fan will definitely not wait.
——Let alone the scorpions coming from all corners of the universe, even this anti-universe bubble may not last for five years.
According to Wang Jing's simulation calculation results, it will take about four to five years from the initial destruction of the cosmic membrane to the complete collapse of the anti-universe bubble.
In this process, the first few years of the collapse of the cosmic membrane will not cause many anomalies, and the civilizations in the universe will generally not notice many problems.
It is nothing more than some stars at the edge of the universe suddenly disappearing in the starry sky, or the macroscopic gravitational veins of the universe have a certain angle of deviation...
Under normal circumstances, only level eight civilizations have the ability to observe these signs before the collapse of the universe.
But it is ironic that almost all level eight civilizations cannot guess the reasons behind these phenomena-they have never left the cosmic bubble, and naturally they would not think that one day the cosmic bubble will also collapse silently.
Until the last year or the last few months of the collapse.
Just like an avalanche, the collapse of the cosmic membrane will suddenly accelerate at a certain time node, and the cosmic bubble will be completely exposed in the five-dimensional space in just a few months.
Then...
countless substances derived from the universe will gush out in an instant, and eventually dissipate in the vast five-dimensional space. Civilizations that do not master the ability to navigate in the five-dimensional space will naturally perish completely in this process.
This is the process of the extinction of a cosmic bubble, which is rapid and cruel.
Compared with the lifespan of a cosmic bubble of tens of billions of years, the collapse process of just four or five years is not much different from that of a moment.
"Sir Chen Fan."
The voice of the crew came from the communication channel, pulling Chen Fan out of his wandering thoughts: "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Next..."
Chen Fan calmed down and said concisely: "Build a wormhole."
He lowered his head and operated on the holographic interface in front of him, and sent a string of coordinates that had been carefully calculated by the main brain of the scientific research ship to the two warships.
"The specific coordinates have been sent to you."
Chen Fan looked solemn and emphasized again: "Remember, what I need is a semi-permanent wormhole."
Semi-permanent wormhole.
Different from the temporary wormhole opened by the starship during the jump, it can exist in the starry sky for a long time with the help of the wormhole maintenance device.
But compared with permanent wormholes, or stargates, this type of wormhole has a rather fatal drawback - its transmission process is point-to-point, while a stargate is a multi-point transmission.
In other words, a semi-permanent wormhole has only one exit, while a stargate can lead to dozens, or even hundreds, of universes.
Of course, the construction difficulty of the two is also very different.
The construction of each stargate requires a lot of calculations and verification work. The construction cycle of a large stargate is usually calculated in hundreds of years. As for a semi-permanent wormhole...
To put it bluntly, it is a temporary wormhole equipped with a stabilization device.
In general, although the manufacturing process is relatively simple, the maintenance cost is high, and it can only achieve point-to-point transmission...
In this way, the semi-permanent wormhole has almost become a useless technology - for the human alliance that has mastered the vacuum zero-point energy, the cost of opening a temporary wormhole is extremely low, and under normal circumstances, no one will spend energy to build a semi-permanent wormhole.
It is for this reason that after hearing Chen Fan's instructions, a trace of confusion flashed across the faces of the two crew members.
Although they were extremely puzzled by such an action, as soldiers, and with Fang Yunsheng's previous unconditional cooperation order, the two crew members saluted Chen Fan and turned to arrange it.
It is not a troublesome thing to arrange a semi-permanent wormhole.
There are ready-made wormhole maintenance devices in the warehouse of the warship, so those crew members only need to place the maintenance devices at the corresponding coordinate points.
The only difficulty that is not difficult is that part of the wormhole maintenance device needs to be placed around the neutron star, and the huge gravity of the neutron star will inevitably have a certain impact on the wormhole maintenance device.
This problem was quickly solved-the crew added a set of space anchors to the wormhole maintenance device.
With space as an anchor, this space anchor device can even resist the gravity of a black hole, and naturally can easily overcome the gravity of a neutron star.
During the construction of the semi-permanent wormhole, a dense number of prompt messages began to pop up in the holographic interface in front of Chen Fan.
[In the A13 star field of the Creation Land, the deployment of the star body has been completed.]
[In the A75 star field, the wormhole array has been deployed.]
[In the B33 star field, the C14 star field...]
In less than half an hour, thousands of reports from the entire Creation Land appeared in front of Chen Fan.
Not only the two warships in front of him, but also in other star fields of the Creation Land, large-scale warships are carrying out their respective tasks in an orderly manner, or pulling stars, or arranging semi-permanent wormholes in the starry sky.
...
At the same time.
A star field two thousand light years away from the Creation Land.
Accompanied by dark matter beams powerful enough to tear the starry sky, tens of thousands of warships came from all directions, forming a huge encirclement of more than fifty light years in the starry sky.
In the encirclement, there is a huge scorpion group numbering in the billions.
This is the last batch of giant scorpions in the star field near the Creation Land. It is also the batch of giant scorpions that are farthest from the Creation Land and have the best preserved combat power. They are almost unaffected by the annihilation starburst and subsequent gamma rays. At the same time, thanks to Chen Fan's home-changing strategy, most of the scorpions left in the scorpion group are 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions that have mastered dimensional technology.
Undoubtedly, this is the hardest bone to chew. Even the peacekeeping fleet cannot resolve the battle in a short time by relying solely on conventional attack methods.
Suddenly.
A gray hyperspherical structure passed through the starry sky and hovered quietly in front of the scorpion group.
Wow!
The dazzling light comparable to that of a star was released from the edge of the hyperspherical structure. It was pure light and heat, and it was also the energy released in the process of dimensionality reduction.
In the light, the shadow of the hypersphere gradually became clear. It was a silver-white spherical starship!
The starship is not large in scale, and it is far less magnificent than those warships that are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers long.
But when it appeared in the starry sky, there was still considerable chaos and commotion in the scorpion group.
They looked at the almost completely still spherical battleship, their scarlet eyes filled with strong fear - not long ago, this unprepossessing battleship fired just one shot and killed millions of their own kind.
Those millions of their own kind were the most powerful soldier bugs who had mastered dimensional technology!
It was this shot that directly sobered up the scorpion group that had fallen into a frenzy.
Let's not talk about the combat power of this spherical battleship, just talking about the many battleships following the spherical battleship, which one is easy to mess with - thinking of this, the scene of the fleet's previous volley once again deeply stimulated the nerves of these giant scorpions.
And inside this spherical battleship, Fang Yunsheng was frowning and carefully observing the reaction of the scorpion group.
"It's started again."
Fang Yunsheng exclaimed softly, and murmured in a low voice: "Why do I feel that these giant scorpions are like schizophrenia, either crazy or ridiculously cowardly?"
"I don't know how long they can stay awake this time..."
"It's really a bit strange." Beside Fang Yunsheng, Xu Mingqi's eyes moved and made a guess, "It looks a bit like they are affected by something."
"Maybe... it's the queen worm?"
"Queen worm?" Fang Yunsheng pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly, "Not very likely, if it's revenge for the queen worm, these giant scorpions should be focused on finding Chen Fan and the others."
"After all, the queen worm was killed by Chen Fan, and it has nothing to do with our peacekeeping fleet."
Hearing this, Xu Mingqi's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Yes, the peacekeeping fleet did not kill the queen worm, but the peacekeeping fleet directly killed nearly half of the scorpion group with a round of salvos!
Having said that, Xu Mingqi also knew that there must be something wrong with the state of these giant scorpions in front of him-since the flagship fortress arrived at the front battlefield, the scorpion group's sometimes crazy and sometimes cowardly state has appeared three times repeatedly.
It was by grasping this law that the fleet was able to take advantage of the giant scorpion's cowardice and drive the scorpion group to this remote star field 2,000 light years away from the place of creation.
In the holographic interface, the giant scorpion was still retreating, and the fear in its scarlet eyes was almost overflowing.
But in the next second.
The scorpion's retreat momentum suddenly stopped.
The leading giant scorpion stared at the flagship fortress in front of it. In the four scarlet eyes, the fear that penetrated into the bone marrow slowly faded, and was replaced by a gradually strong madness.
It was as if...
the silver-white spherical battleship in front of it was a mortal enemy, and it wanted to pounce on it immediately and "eat its flesh alive."
It raised its head, opened its ferocious mouthparts and let out a silent roar towards the boundless starry sky.
The next moment.
This giant scorpion took the lead in attacking. Instead of retreating, it advanced and launched a counterattack against the battleship again.
"Well, it's crazy again." Fang Yunsheng shrugged helplessly, "This time it only lasted less than ten minutes. It seems that the unknown influence is getting worse and worse."
"I guess the other giant scorpions in this cosmic bubble... have also been affected in the same way."
As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed in Fang Yunsheng's eyes.
The scorpion swarm is not scary.
Even if the scorpion swarm is hundreds of times larger, the fleet is fully confident that they can get rid of them - at worst, they can turn the table in advance and directly detonate this cosmic bubble,
but the unknown power hidden behind the scorpion swarm made him feel a little uneasy.
He turned his head and glanced at the holographic interface on his side. Soon, the vague uneasiness was completely erased by a prompt message in the interface.
"Two thousand light-years of redundancy should not theoretically have an impact on the place of creation."
Fang Yunsheng calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Notify the Genesis Fortress to prepare to reduce the light speed constant of the target star field!"
As the voice fell.
The space-time fluctuations like a tsunami suddenly swept over, and a huge, blurred shadow suddenly emerged in the distant starry sky.
In the continuous space-time tsunami, the gray shadows that covered the sky gradually became clear, and the double-pyramid Genesis Fortress once again revealed its true appearance.
Dazzling white light of unknown origin emanated from its surroundings, dimming the bright starlight in the starry sky.
...
"Start generating wormholes!"
Looking at the words "Ready" on the full screen of the holographic interface, Chen Fan took a deep breath and issued the final order.
The rescue plan of Kraken is officially launched!
Buzz...
Accompanied by waves of slight space-time fluctuations, thousands of white light spots lit up in the starry sky outside the porthole one after another.
Each light spot is an independent wormhole maintenance device, which is thousands or even hundreds of millions of kilometers apart from each other, forming a large network between the red dwarf and the neutron star.
As the output power of the device began to increase, a series of rotating, corresponding wormholes quickly appeared on the maintenance device.
The gravitational field from the direction of the red dwarf and the neutron star quietly sank into the wormhole, and with the help of the wormhole channel, it crossed the long distance of several light years in the blink of an eye and arrived at the gravitational balance point of the two stars.
In the monitoring screen of the investigator starship, the two gravitational forces intertwined with each other and soon formed a gravitational bond that was invisible to the naked eye.
Just like the DNA of a living thing, the gravitational bond with a double helix structure swirled forward in the starry sky, as if attracted by something, and stretched straight to the warp channel not far away.
At the same time, a gravitational bond with the same structure suddenly came out of the warp channel and went straight to the gravitational bond that was about to reach the warp channel.
After a violent fluctuation, the two gravitational bonds successfully merged and synthesized a more stable gravitational chain in the starry sky.
"...Success."
Looking at the gravitational bond that was gradually becoming stable, Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene before us is not an isolated case.
With the cooperation of many warships, countless gravitational ties of varying thickness appeared out of thin air in the entire land of creation. Relying on warp channels and artificially created wormhole arrays, they intertwined with each other in the starry sky, and once again constructed a macroscopic gravitational structure spanning more than 8,000 light years!
Boom!
The moment this macroscopic gravitational structure took shape, a sudden change occurred!
The pale red nebula that had almost fallen into a static state before seemed to be affected by something and began to move slowly.
Those hazy and discrete interstellar materials continued to surge under the action of microgravity, just like the blood in the blood vessels, spreading extremely slowly towards the loopholes throughout the land of creation!
