Chapter 504 The 52nd Information Jet
At the moment when the Genesis Fortress appeared...
No.
To be precise, when the Genesis Fortress was weaving the cosmic membrane for the small universe, the cosmic membrane that had been laid out earlier had a chain reaction.
They became more resilient!
Not only that, they began to spontaneously repair the small hole that Chen Fan had just drilled! !
Unlike the huge hole in the large cosmic membrane, the hole drilled by Chen Fan was very small and did not exceed the self-repair scope of the cosmic membrane at all.
So...
As the cosmic membrane began to repair itself, a strong sense of repulsion came from all directions, as if it wanted to completely squeeze out the foreign body embedded in the cosmic membrane.
"Fuck!"
Chen Fan's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously exclaimed.
He didn't even have time to take care of the surging polluted information flow from farther away, so he directly mobilized the energy in his consciousness to try to resist the squeezing and repulsion from all directions.
Chen Fan didn't feel much about this unexpected emergency.
Compared with the resistance encountered when penetrating the cosmic membrane, this repulsive force is really not worth mentioning-of course, the premise is that there is enough energy.
But...
Kraken, who was still acting as a living battery inside the microcosm, obviously didn't think so.
...
Inside the microcosm.
The ocean of starlight, which had shrunk to a hundred kilometers, was undulating slightly at the edge of the universe.
Kraken silently watched the consciousness body in front of him, with only half of its body left and the light on its surface gradually becoming stable - the other half of its body had penetrated the cosmic membrane, so Kraken, who was inside the microcosm, naturally couldn't see his existence.
Perhaps because of the life class, the time it took Chen Fan to break through this cosmic membrane was much shorter than it was tens of millions of years ago.
Not only that, the energy consumed by Chen Fan was also far less than Kraken's expected value.
It consumed about 70% of his energy reserves.
This was already an extremely astonishing magnitude - if he had only consumed this amount of energy to break through the cosmic membrane tens of millions of years ago, he would not have fallen into a sleep that lasted for millions of years.
Feeling the vacuum zero-point energy still in his body, Kraken subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he focused all his attention on Chen Fan - he was ready to forcibly "pull" Chen Fan back to the microcosm.
One second, ten seconds, one minute...
[Hmm?]
Looking at the half-conscious body hanging on the cosmic membrane, Kraken finally felt a little confused.
Logically, Chen Fan should have come into contact with the "high-dimensional desert" at this time, and accordingly, the consciousness body would also collapse.
But...
why has Chen Fan's consciousness body not shown any abnormalities until now?
Before Kraken could figure out the reason, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!
Along with a strong flow of polluted information sweeping in from the distant star field, a strong suction force also came from the half-conscious body hanging on the cosmic membrane, devouring the remaining vacuum zero-point energy in his body in an almost predatory manner!
The shrinking sea of starlight fluctuated violently, and a vague message spread out from it:
[...No, buddy? !]
Feeling the rapidly decreasing vacuum zero-point energy reserves in his body, Kraken's face turned green.
Didn't the crossing of the cosmic membrane succeed? Why did the messenger start to absorb his vacuum zero-point energy again?
And...
you don't even act anymore, right? !
Previously, He had to actively supply the vacuum zero-point energy, but now, He just started to draw it without saying a word, right? !
[Even if you are the messenger mentioned in the prophecy, this is too...]
The fluctuations of the starlight ocean became more and more intense, and there was a hint of resentment in the information sent by Kraken.
[Too...]
Kraken murmured, and his mind quickly flashed through the shocking scene of the ghost fleet appearing in the universe for the first time hundreds of millions of years ago, and the scene of Chen Fan kneading the information flow like kneading dough.
Then...
He sighed heavily, and the huge consciousness body that began to shrink again was pupa. He carefully approached the half of the consciousness body hanging on the cosmic membrane, endured the pain in his heart, gritted his teeth and squeezed out the little vacuum zero-point energy left.
There was no way.
He couldn't do it!!!
Whether it was the ghost fleet or Chen Fan, even the human alliance outside the small universe, it was not a powerful existence that He could touch!
Forced by the situation, Kraken could only make a bitter face and squeeze out the vacuum zero-point energy on which he depended for survival.
[Your Excellency the Envoy, this is my last reserve...]
Kraken muttered: [When this war is over, you must find me a more comfortable star field. My requirements are not high. Just 50,000 light years... No, 100,000... 200,000 light years will do. By the way, it is better to have more stars in the star field. I like a brighter environment...]
...
Chen Fan, who was "stuck" in the cosmic membrane, naturally did not know what was happening inside the small universe.
At this moment.
His attention was all on the huge cosmic membrane in front of him.
Buzz!!!
Strong space-time fluctuations came from afar, and the Genesis Fortress running "above" the small universe membrane was also moving away in this fluctuation.
This should be a very normal thing - after applying the film in one area, it is natural to go to the next area to continue applying.
The operators of the Genesis Fortress obviously thought so.
Therefore, after completing the work in the designated area, it hurriedly flew to the star field farther away, and finally became a tiny black dot in the isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles.
Only Chen Fan, relying on his unique position of being "stuck" inside the cosmic membrane and touching the cosmic membrane at a negative distance, was able to keenly perceive something abnormal:
as the Genesis Fortress went away, the fluctuations of the cosmic membrane gradually subsided, and even the sudden repulsion that had attacked before began to slowly fade.
This means that after the Genesis Fortress left, the strength of the cosmic membrane is gradually declining! !
Although Chen Fan is not clear about the specific process and relevant information of weaving the cosmic membrane, his intuition tells him that this is definitely not a normal phenomenon! !
The reason is very simple - if the strength of the cosmic membrane will decay after the Genesis Fortress leaves, then what is the role of the membrane?
It's just...
why does the strength of the cosmic membrane decay?
Could it be that the cosmic membrane made by the Genesis Fortress has melted?
Thinking of this, although the interference of the cosmic membrane gradually subsided, Chen Fan's face became extremely solemn.
The above is not the point!
The more critical point, and what Chen Fan was most worried about, was the polluted information flow that lingered on the surface of the cosmic membrane, resembling ripples on the water surface!
At the end of his sight, as the strength of the cosmic membrane decayed, endless polluted information flows began to slowly emerge from the area where the Genesis Fortress passed!
They were tightly attached to the flat cosmic membrane, penetrating into the small universe inside while quickly spreading to the surroundings!
Like a drop of ink falling on the surface of a water ball, it quickly dyed the surroundings black.
"Polluted information..."
Looking at the amazing scene in front of him, combined with the previous speculation about the melting of the cosmic membrane, Chen Fan suddenly widened his eyes, and a horrifying speculation emerged in his mind:
"Could it be the product of the melting of the cosmic membrane?!"
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's expression suddenly wavered: "The polluted information contained in the high-dimensional broadcast... What's going on?"
Before he could figure out the twists and turns, a strong sense of emptiness swept from his consciousness, pulling Chen Fan's thoughts back to reality.
"Not good!"
Chen Fan's face changed slightly.
Since when, the vacuum zero-point energy that had been filled in his consciousness has been reduced by more than half - his consciousness is like a swimming pool that is draining water while filling it. With the help of the Kraken, although the energy consumption rate is extremely high, it can at least maintain a balanced state of inflow and outflow. But now, the vacuum zero-point energy from the Kraken has become a trickle, and the previous balance has been completely broken.
Feeling the faint dizziness coming from his mind, Chen Fan realized the problem belatedly.
It's broken.
The external battery seems to be unable to hold on.
We have to hurry up and get in touch with the research ship! !
Chen Fan did not hesitate at all. He raised his head and looked up at the five-dimensional isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles. At the same time, he struggled to mobilize the few remaining information flow fragments in the small universe, and once again outlined a miniature circular acceleration loop on the surface of the cosmic membrane.
Swish! ! !
After a short wait, with the dizziness and emptiness getting worse, a long and thin jet of information shot up from the flat and smooth surface of the cosmic membrane and shot straight to the five-dimensional isolation zone directly above.
The polluted information that was originally lingering on the surface of the cosmic membrane, resembling water ripples, was also disturbed by the impact of this information jet, forming a circle of concentric ripples that spread out in all directions.
"Damn..."
The "offline" of the external battery directly put Chen Fan into an extremely embarrassing situation - let alone resisting the self-repair effect of the cosmic membrane, the information jet alone is a real energy consumer!
Don't forget that when the Lighthouse Project was implemented, it was Wang Jing's research ship that provided him with energy!
"Academician Wang..." Chen Fan looked at the five-dimensional space that was beginning to darken in front of him with a daze, trying his best to maintain the information jet that could be interrupted at any time, and muttered to himself in a nearly whispering voice: "You... If you don't find it again, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, a strong space-time fluctuation swept over.
Then, a silver-white shuttle-shaped starship appeared in the five-dimensional space that could be called a desert of life in a hurry.
"Finally it's here..."
When the research ship appeared, Chen Fan grinned: "It seems that I'm lucky."
He struggled to squeeze out the little vacuum zero-point energy left in his consciousness, controlled the acceleration circuit in front of him, and let the slender and tough information jet shoot towards the silver-white starship.
Seeing the information jet hit the research ship directly, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's done.
The distress signal has been sent!
Almost at the same time, he took the initiative to give up resisting the repulsive force of the cosmic membrane.
Along with a strong repulsive force emerging from the cosmic membrane around him, a weak pulling force also came from the small universe inside the cosmic membrane. Under the combined effect of the two forces, Chen Fan suddenly felt his body falling into the small universe!
Without the interference of Chen Fan, the outsider, the thin cosmic membrane finally began to repair itself.
Through the rapidly shrinking hole, Chen Fan's somewhat drowsy eyes passed over the silver-white starship hovering outside the small universe, and then over the endless anti-universe bubble that looked like a towering wall, and fell into the five-dimensional space in the distance.
It was not until now, after everything had settled, that Chen Fan realized a problem belatedly.
——Why didn't the consciousness collapse mentioned by Kraken earlier... appear on him?
He looked blankly at the bizarre five-dimensional space. Perhaps because of the excessive consumption of vacuum zero-point energy, his originally clear consciousness began to dissipate.
When his consciousness was about to fall into darkness and the hole in the universe membrane was about to recover, an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
Was it fear, or longing?
Was it uneasiness, or excitement?
Chen Fan was somewhat confused about the inexplicable emotions that spontaneously arose from this consciousness.
On the one hand, it was because his consciousness was almost scattered, just like a person who had just woken up, and his ability to distinguish was rapidly declining. On the other hand...
As Chen Fan's consciousness was scattered, the high-dimensional resonance that had disappeared for a long time also sounded in his mind again.
The sound was noisy and chaotic. Not to mention understanding the meaning, Chen Fan, who was in a fuzzy state
, could not even distinguish the different voices. These obscure tones merged together to form a deafening rumble.
Chen Fan frowned, and his face showed an uncontrollable look of unbearable.
Wow.
The hole in the microcosm membrane was completely closed, and the bizarre five-dimensional space completely disappeared in front of Chen Fan.
The rumble from the high-dimensional resonance was also stopped by pressing the stop button.
Beside him, the familiar starry sky appeared again, and... a ball of light red light that shrunk to a few hundred meters.
"... Kraken?"
Chen Fan sent a message to the light ball with some fear.
After getting a little undetectable response, he sighed and slowly closed his eyes.
…
On the other side.
Outside the small cosmic bubble.
The research ship silently hovered in the five-dimensional isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles, with the bow pointing at the small cosmic bubble below.
Inside the research ship.
The holographic interface above the main console flashed with bright red warning information.
"Warning!"
The electronic synthesis voice of the ship's main brain echoed in the spacious cockpit: "High-intensity information fluctuations detected!"
"Attention! This ship has been hit by the information jet head-on!!"
"Warning!! The starship control unit has a few logical errors and is trying to repair itself..."
As the owner of the research ship, Wang Jing did not react to the many warning prompts in front of her.
She closed her beautiful eyes and sat quietly in the main driving seat, with a hint of pain on her slightly cold face.
She had indeed heard the reminder of the ship's main brain, but she was unable to respond at this time.
Just now, when she was in panic and anxiety about the failure of the law, an information jet with a much higher intensity than any previous information jet suddenly appeared on the surface of the small cosmic membrane.
The 52nd information stream.
The appearance of this information jet made her feel a little relieved.
Although the rules were broken, Chen Fan should not have any major problems.
It was a blessing in disguise.
But soon.
Just as she was about to record the many parameters of this information jet as usual, she suddenly realized a problem - unlike the previous information jets that appeared and disappeared quickly, the 52nd information stream was not only extremely strong, but also lasted much longer than before!
Ten seconds, twenty seconds...
Just as Wang Jing was stunned, this tenacious information stream was like a lighthouse in the vast five-dimensional space, standing upright on the surface of the small universe membrane, and the maintenance time was more than thirty seconds!
Faced with this abnormal situation, Wang Jing didn't even have time to think about it, and directly controlled the research ship to rush to the location of the information stream!
When the research ship arrived, the information jet still did not disappear.
At first, Wang Jing was very excited when she saw this scene - the information jet did not disappear, which meant that she could collect the information transmitted by Chen Fan from it.
But...
before she could be happy for long, amid a series of warnings from the shipboard main brain, the information jet did not stop at all and "smashed" directly on her research ship!
Although the current research ships have been transformed to a certain extent, they do not have perfect information shield technology.
Therefore, this information jet passed through the starship shell without any hindrance and hit her directly.
It was at that moment that Wang Jing's mind was instantly filled with extremely huge information! !
Although her eyes were closed, she could still clearly "see" the situation inside the small universe.
It's just that...
she saw the picture from a strange perspective -
Kraken suffered from information pollution; the investigator starship almost crashed; it used information jets to contact the outside world, but was blocked by the cosmic membrane; the cosmic membrane was successfully pierced, and polluted information flow appeared on the surface of the cosmic membrane, and information jets were created again to attract the attention of the research ship...
Seeing the silver-white research ship that appeared in the five-dimensional space, Wang Jing finally understood.
This is from Chen Fan's perspective.
With the help of information jets, Chen Fan transmitted all the situations he had just experienced to her!
"Hiss..."
Wang Jing slowly opened her eyes, feeling the dizziness and a trace of pain in her mind, she subconsciously took a breath of cold air: "Chen Fan, this kid... is too messy."
Such a huge amount of information, and all the pictures from a high-dimensional perspective, all poured into her brain in just a few seconds...
If she hadn't received the highest level of genetic modification and strengthening technology of the Human Union, she would probably have been shocked into a fool by this huge information flow.
Of course, roasting brain flowers is also possible.
"Speaking of which, this thing..."
Wang Jing's expression slightly changed, and she murmured in a low voice: "It is exactly the same as the high-dimensional resonance..."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it across the holographic interface in front of her that was filled with blood-red pop-up windows.
Wow!
The warning pop-up windows disappeared, and the piercing alarm sound also stopped abruptly.
"Master brain, notify the Genesis Fortress immediately."
"Let the operators suspend the cosmic membrane weaving work!"
Wang Jing snorted coldly:
"Tell those operators to take a good look at the surface of the small cosmic membrane!"
"I don't know how such a big mistake happened and how I got the Genesis operator certificate!"
