Chapter 499 Unknown pollution!
The Land of Creation.
Chen Fan stared at the direction where the last gap disappeared, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.
After the intersection of the space-time cliff, the Land of Creation was completely cut off from the anti-universe bubble. Whether it was starlight, space-time fluctuations, or tachyon signals, they could not pass through this spherical space-time cliff. Theoretically, only the hyperspace membrane broadcast could directly pass it to the inside of the Land of Creation.
Of course, pure information flow at a higher level than the hyperspace membrane can also be used.
[Has the microcosm cutting been completed? ]
A wave of information came from the fluctuating sea of light beside him, waking Chen Fan from his contemplation.
"Not yet. To be precise, only the first half of the work has been carried out."
Hearing Chen Fan's words, the fluctuations of the sea of light suddenly paused, and Kraken also sent him a big question mark: [? 】
【I can't feel the existence of the big universe bubble, how can it be...】
Chen Fan thought for a while, sorted out the words and explained to the serious "biased" Kraken - as a nebula life form with a certain ability to control information flow, Kraken's basic understanding of the universe comes from daily life experience and the little information transmitted by the ghost fleet. This can't even be described as a simple bias.
If you have to describe it, Kraken at this time is equivalent to a graduate student who has just mastered the four arithmetic operations and was directly recommended.
"Although the space-time cliff has separated the connection between the Creation Land and the big universe, this is only temporary."
"The Creation Land now does not have its own cosmic membrane, and it has not officially left the gravitational range of the big universe."
"As long as the space-time cliff disappears, the big universe will absorb the Creation Land back again."
"Although the space-time cliff of this scale is not so easy to disappear, it is still a hidden danger."
"A more important reason is that without the protection of the cosmic membrane, the entire Creation Land will soon dissipate into countless basic particles and information flows in the five-dimensional space."
Kraken suddenly realized.
【I understand. 】
【Then the second half of the work is to build a cosmic membrane for the land of creation? 】
Chen Fan nodded and affirmed Kraken's words.
【Then... what should we do? 】 Kraken was a little at a loss, 【I haven't come into contact with anything in this area. 】
【Also, will the cosmic membrane affect me...】
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan laughed dumbly and interrupted Kraken's words with a wave of his hand: "The second half of the work has nothing to do with us. The Genesis Fortress outside will handle all the aftermath."
"As for you..."
"Since the first half of the cutting work has no effect, then theoretically, there shouldn't be any major problems in the future."
Hearing this, Kraken was slightly relieved.
The next moment.
A huge double-pyramid shadow quickly passed through the starry sky, and the starry sky that was originally wrapped in deep darkness also showed some indescribable changes.
If the previous starry sky was filled with darkness that could swallow all light, causing this starry sky to look particularly dim, then with the passing of the double-pyramid shadow, this starry sky suddenly became "bright"!
It was as if...
the darkness deep in the starry sky was dispelled by something!
"Here."
Chen Fan pointed his lips at the starry sky in front of him: "See? Genesis Fortress has begun to apply the membrane to the Creation Land."
"If I remember correctly, when applying the membrane to the small universe, it will also add some specific structures to this layer of universe membrane to prevent the secondary fusion of the large and small universes."
Chen Fan's mumbling did not get a response from the Kraken, but he did not think much about it, and just explained to himself: "After all the work is completed, it will pull the Creation Land away from the anti-universe bubble. At that time, the entire small universe will be completely cut..."
Suddenly, an electromagnetic wave communication came from the investigator starship, interrupting Chen Fan's words.
[Chen Fan! There is a problem with the Kraken! ! ]
Chen Fan's voice suddenly paused. He didn't have time to think, and turned his head to look at the sea of light on the side.
The originally gently fluctuating sea of light has unknowingly set off a storm!
"Kraken?!" Chen Fan subconsciously shouted loudly, "Can you hear me?"
There was no response.
There were only more turbulent waves of light.
"Damn it..."
Chen Fan cursed in a low voice, and then his mind moved, and with a faint information flow dissipating, his consciousness disappeared directly into the starry sky.
When the consciousness reappeared, he was already standing in a star field hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the sea of light.
After zooming out, everything became clear - before, the sea of light formed by the Kraken consciousness was like a ball of light in the starry sky. Although there were ups and downs inside, the general shape was still spherical, but now, this ball of light seemed to be stimulated by something, and countless sharp light spikes appeared on the surface.
Each light thorn was composed of the turbulent waves that Chen Fan and the investigator starship had just seen!
"What the hell is going on..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan's anxiety became more and more intense.
Obviously, the most dangerous stage has been passed, how could this happen?
Swish...
The fluctuations of time and space flashed in the quiet starry sky.
Chen Fan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the space-time fluctuations came from. When the space-time fluctuations dissipated, the Investigator Starship appeared in the gradually brightening starry sky.
Looking at the familiar earth-yellow round starship, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the distant sea of light again: "It turned out to be the Investigator Starship, I thought..."
Before he finished speaking, his face changed: "Wait!"
"No... something's wrong..."
Unlike its usual bright and beautiful appearance, the investigator starship in sight has no damage on the outside, but it looks very dim as a whole.
There are many reasons for this situation, but the most likely and easiest to happen is actually only one situation:
the starship shield disappears - the composite shield is light gold, so when the shield is turned on, the original yellow investigator starship will be stained with a layer of golden light, making it look particularly bright.
The starship driving rules clearly stipulate that during the starship driving, even if there is no danger around, in order to ensure the safety of the starship driver and passengers, any starship must turn on the minimum emergency shield.
Although the shipboard main brain can make defensive responses while being attacked, it is obviously not a good thing to rely on the shipboard main brain for everything. What if the shipboard main brain fails?
As a veteran Class III investigator, Hongshi would never make such a low-level mistake.
There is only one reason left.
"Something happened!"
After realizing this, Chen Fan's face suddenly became ugly.
He ignored the increasingly ferocious light ball in the starry sky and rushed directly towards the Investigator starship in the distance.
...
In just a blink of an eye, Chen Fan's consciousness body had arrived in front of the starship.
But his face did not improve at all, and even became uglier after seeing the condition of the starship clearly - the Investigator starship had completely shut down, not to mention the composite shield, even the curvature engine was completely shut down.
In other words, the starship did not actively leave the curvature state, but directly "fell" out of the curvature navigation!
Fortunately, the quality of the Investigator starship is good enough and the inner space anchoring technology is strong enough, otherwise... just this emergency landing is enough to make the inside of the starship a mess!
Chen Fan's face was tense, and his consciousness body leaned towards the porthole of the starship's cab.
The porthole that was strong enough to withstand a supernova explosion did not play any blocking role, and he easily passed through the porthole and entered the cab.
As soon as he entered the cab, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.
The situation was far worse than he had expected. The cockpit was completely dark, with only a few emergency lights still working. The holographic control interface and the console had long been silent. As for Hongshi and the other two, they were lying quietly and crookedly on the co-pilot and passenger seats.
Chen Fan's mind moved, and he directly controlled his consciousness to return to his body sitting in the main driver's seat.
After his consciousness returned, he didn't care about the completely black screen of the starship's central control console, and hurriedly got up to check the status of the three companions beside him.
In comparison, Isa and Gao Yuan's conditions were obviously more serious.
Although the two were in a coma, their hideous faces clearly showed the pain they were in when they were awake.
Although Hongshi also fell into a coma with her eyes closed, her expression was still calm. Obviously, the stimulation she received was not great.
Chen Fan calmed down and reached out to gently lift Isa's black hood.
Looking at the extremely pale, almost bloodless face, Chen Fan couldn't help but frowned - damn, he is not a doctor!
"One, scan and diagnose immediately." Chen Fan gave the order subconsciously.
After waiting for a moment, the familiar holographic interface and the white scanning beam did not appear.
Chen Fan was slightly stunned and looked down at his right hand.
The silver-white smart terminal was quietly attached to his skin, but there was no light flowing on its surface. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary silver-white glove.
"Fuck..."
Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly: "Even the smart terminal is down, what happened here..."
As soon as the words came out, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Fan's mind.
From the time he left Guanghai to the time the starship appeared, there was only fifteen seconds at most.
In Chen Fan's impression, there was only one possibility that such astonishing damage could be caused to the Human Alliance starship in just fifteen seconds -
"Information storm?!"
Chen Fan widened his eyes and murmured in disbelief.
But...
where did the information storm come from?
Why didn't he feel it?
In order to verify his guess, he took a deep breath and reached out to gently open Isa's tightly closed right eyelid - the information storm would bring a huge burden to the brain of the organism. In this process, congestion of the eyeball is almost an inevitable sequelae. If the information storm is strong enough, it may even cause symptoms such as bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Hiss..."
As soon as he opened Isa's right eyelid, Chen Fan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Under the thin eyelids, the white of the eye was filled with fine and dense bloodshot, dyeing the entire white of the eye blood red.
But this is not the point.
What really shocked Chen Fan was the dense and tiny tumors scattered on Isa's inner eyelid!
This scene directly reminded Chen Fan of the many scenes he had seen on the TE913 research ship.
What kind of information flow storm is this!
This is clearly information pollution! !
It is information pollution released by broadcast civilization! ! !
"Fuck..."
Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at the hideous light ball outside the porthole that had turned into a "sea urchin".
Now, the reason why Kraken became like this can be determined - for information-state life, the lethality of information pollution is no different from carbon-based life facing a nuclear explosion.
"It's a big trouble..."
Chen Fan frowned and whispered to himself.
The status of Kraken is unknown, the life and death of the three Redstones is uncertain, and the investigator starship has also fallen into a downtime state. The most fatal thing is that Wang Jing's research ship is not in the small universe at this time!
In order to successfully cut this small universe with a scale of 10,000 light years, after Kraken was successfully awakened, Wang Jing drove the research ship temporarily away from the place of creation to provide technical guidance for the Genesis Fortress.
After a simple review of the situation, Chen Fan suddenly felt numb.
Without external aid, without any technical and equipment support...
How can we play this? !
Chen Fan sat dejectedly in the main driving seat, exhaled heavily and barely regained his composure.
"...We must first find the source of information pollution."
He muttered to himself, while squinting his eyes and looking at the cockpit around him, as if he had noticed something.
Suddenly.
There was a very faint movement from the co-pilot seat next to him.
Chen Fan's ears moved, and he turned his head subconsciously.
I saw Hongshi slowly open his eyes, which had turned completely blood red due to congestion, and his face also showed some pain and confusion: "Chen... Chen Fan?"
"It's me."
Seeing Hongshi wake up, Chen Fan was happy, and the original irritability in his heart instantly dissipated.
It's good to be able to communicate normally!
At least he can quickly figure out what happened in those short fifteen seconds!
"Here..."
Chen Fan raised his hand and pointed at Isa and Gao Yuan who were still in a coma, as well as the dark starship cockpit: "What's going on?"
Hongshi frowned even deeper. Perhaps because of the information pollution that impacted her brain, her eyes were still filled with a strong sense of confusion: "I..."
She raised her hand in some pain and gently supported her smooth forehead. After thinking for a long time, she whispered softly: "It seems to be an information flow impact..."
"After the Kraken was in an abnormal state, I felt dizzy. Isa and Gao Yuan even fainted directly."
"At the same time, the shipboard main brain also issued a warning message of abnormal fluctuations in information entropy."
Hongshi's voice gradually became smoother: "After realizing the problem, I subconsciously gave the starship an order to enter the curvature state."
"Then..."
Hongshi's face became paler: "I completely lost consciousness."
Chen Fan frowned and nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, before Hongshi woke up, he had already faintly sensed a little abnormality from the surrounding environment-he did not feel any traces of information pollution in the investigator's starship.
Not to mention the Investigator Starship, even the Redstones did not have any residual information pollution.
This is not surprising in itself. The essence of information pollution is information flow, which is not easy to preserve. Even ordinary information flow will quickly dissipate after losing some necessary means of maintenance.
But combined with Redstone's words just now, it actually leads to a very clear answer.
Information pollution comes from the Kraken.
To be more precise, only the Kraken was attacked by information pollution.
Whether it is the Investigator Starship or the Redstones, they were just attacked by the aftermath.
"Kraken..."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at the sea urchin-shaped light ball outside the porthole.
He never expected that even if he paid attention again and again, the microcosm cutting still had an impact on the Kraken, but...
both the time of the impact and the process of the impact did not meet his expectations.
"...I suspect this thing was created by the broadcasting civilization. Anyway, I have to go to Kraken to take a look first."
Facing Hongshi's tired and painful eyes, Chen Fan said in a deep voice: "You take a rest first. If the ship's main brain recovers, please help send Isa and Gao Yuan to the medical cabin."
"And you, go to the medical cabin for a while."
Hongshi nodded weakly, hesitating: "You... be careful."
Chen Fan did not speak, but closed his eyes again with a gloomy face.
...
Chen Fan controlled his consciousness to leave his body with ease, passed through the outer shell of the starship, and quickly came to the pale red light ball that looked like a sea urchin.
Before he really entered this sea of light, Chen Fan's face had changed a little.
He didn't notice it when he was far away, but now that he ventured to the side of the Kraken, he felt something was wrong - waves of chaotic information fluctuations were constantly escaping from this sea of light and quickly disappeared into the starry sky.
Chen Fan looked at it carefully, and his face became solemn:
most of this chaotic information fluctuation was meaningless information sent by the Kraken, but it was mixed with a wave of information that Chen Fan was quite familiar with.
When he realized this, Chen Fan's heart finally died.
"Damn it, it's really the broadcast civilization that did this..."
Chen Fan gritted his teeth and rushed directly into the sea of light constructed by the Kraken's consciousness body. At least, he had quite a lot of experience in dealing with the information pollution of the broadcast civilization.
Of course, this was also due to his special physique.
For some reason, the information pollution of the broadcast civilization did not have much negative effect on him.
As soon as he entered the sea of light, Chen Fan felt that the familiar information fluctuations instantly became dozens of times stronger. This information pollution from unknown sources raged in the Kraken's consciousness body, messing up his consciousness.
Just a rough glance, Chen Fan had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart:
If there is no external help, it is estimated that the Kraken will only last a few minutes at most, and the consciousness fragments that have just been spliced will collapse again.
Moreover, unlike the previous collapse, the consciousness fragments polluted by information are likely to be not so easy to recover.
In other words, as long as he is a few minutes late, the Kraken's consciousness will completely disappear, and this small universe that has just been cut will become a coffin for the Kraken's body!
After realizing this, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all. He followed his past experience and accurately guided the information pollution from the broadcasting civilization to flow towards him.
Swish...
Under Chen Fan's guidance, faint ripples that were barely perceptible to the naked eye slowly surged in the sea of light. They emerged from every corner of the sea of light and swept towards Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked intently at the overwhelming information flow in front of him with an extremely serious expression - these seemingly ordinary information flows all contain extremely large amounts of polluted information.
Under ideal conditions, just one such information flow is enough to plunge an advanced civilization into an irretrievable situation!
Time passed by bit by bit.
A very small-scale micro-information storm slowly took shape in the constantly undulating sea of light!
ps: The cause of the computer failure has been found. The graphics card bracket was adjusted too high, which tilted the graphics card's gold finger... How could it be like this? I thought the graphics card boomed...
