Chapter 545 [Royal Court]
"Only this much time left?!"
Chen Fan was shocked and subconsciously raised his head to look at the holographic countdown. When he saw the bright red countdown, his face changed completely.
What can be done in twenty minutes?
To put it bluntly, even the entire Z619 fleet cannot upgrade to leave this universe bubble!
"Academician Wang, then we..."
Chen Fan cast a questioning look at Wang Jing.
"The Academy of Sciences' opinion is to evacuate immediately after you regain consciousness." Wang Jing spread his hands helplessly, "Let me make it clear to you, at present, ensuring your life safety is the Academy of Sciences' top priority task."
Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly.
Although I know that Wang Jing's words are well-intentioned, I don't know why, but I always feel that it sounds a bit strange...
Chen Fan hesitated and glanced at the black light that almost swallowed the entire starry sky: "If we evacuate now, the problem of naked singularity and black light..."
"I don't know."
Wang Jing shook her head without hesitation: "Whether it is naked singularity or black light, we don't know its formation mechanism at all."
"We can't even be sure whether letting it develop freely will lead to worse results."
"After all, in the past ten hours or so, naked singularity has indeed accelerated the collapse of the anti-universe bubble to a certain extent."
Wang Jing paused, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "In addition... Considering that there seems to be some unique connection between you and the anti-universe bubble, I decided to give the decision to you."
Chen Fan instantly understood.
It turns out that scientific methods can no longer solve the current situation, and the Academy of Sciences can only pin their hopes on "metaphysics".
"Ahem!"
Wang Jing coughed awkwardly after noticing Chen Fan's strange look: "Don't think the Academy of Sciences is unreliable, kid."
"For completely unknown fields, there is actually not much difference between metaphysics and science."
Chen Fan laughed dumbly.
The words were rough but the truth was true. He could understand what Wang Jing said.
For low-level civilizations, high-level civilizations do often show some god-like means.
Unfortunately...
in front of completely unknown naked singularities and black rays, the dignified Human Union has also become a "low-level civilization" with shallow qualifications.
While sighing in his heart, Chen Fan turned his gaze back to the deep starry sky outside the porthole.
Just as Wang Jing said, although it is not clear what the reason is, he does have some strange connection with the anti-universe - this is the case when the anti-universe bubble has not collapsed, and even more so when the anti-universe bubble collapses. Even now, after the crisis of the collapse of the anti-universe bubble has been resolved, this strange sense of panic that seems to be losing something important still exists.
"If I were to make the decision..."
Chen Fan's eyes swept across the main battleships in the starry sky, and finally stopped at the surging black light.
Looking at the black light that was spreading in the starry sky, slowly eroding the entire universe like a virus, his mind couldn't help but feel a trance.
Faintly, he seemed to hear bursts of shrill wails in his ears -
this was the wails of the universe bubble when it was facing destruction.
After a short wait, the wails gradually faded, leaving only a faint fear in Chen Fan's heart.
"I... don't want to evacuate."
"The naked singularity problem has not been solved. Those giant scorpions have been brewing their killer moves for such a long time. If we leave it alone, it may bring more difficult problems." "
Of course, the most critical reason..."
With the help of Isa, Chen Fan, who had recovered his energy a little, stood up from his seat with difficulty. He stared at Wang Jing in the communication interface very seriously: "Just like Academician Wang said, my intuition tells me that this crisis is not completely over."
"I understand."
Wang Jing understood, she nodded, and at the same time raised her hand and pressed the control panel in front of her: "In this case, then I will submit a residency application to the Academy of Sciences."
"In fact, I also want to stay and conduct a deeper study of these black rays."
A trace of excitement flashed in the depths of Wang Jing's calm eyes: "Maybe... this thing hides the secret of time technology?"
...
Apophis star field.
The hideous giant cosmic bubble quietly crouched on the long and tortuous hyperspace membrane. It was like a huge tumor, madly absorbing nutrients from the hyperspace membrane.
The core area inside the cosmic bubble.
A weak stream of information appeared in the starry sky without any warning.
The next second, a giant scorpion slowly emerged in the rapidly dissipating stream of information.
The starry sky filled with nebula matter was filled with glows of different colors. The intensity of the glow was related to the density of the matter and the stars passing through this star field. The more stars "passed by" a certain starry sky, the more brilliant the glow in this star field would be.
But this brilliance often did not last too long.
This was already common sense in this universe. The gravitational system of the entire universe was chaotic. Those planets that had been wandering around the universe since their birth naturally could not stop for no reason.
The giant scorpion's four eyes, glowing with scarlet light, swept across the gorgeous starry sky in front of it. It did not care about the gorgeous nebula that changed drastically every once in a while, but focused its attention on the only dozens of unusually deep and dark areas in this gorgeous starry sky.
That was a black hole.
To be more precise, it was a super black hole formed by the fusion of countless black holes of different sizes.
The scale of each super black hole exceeds 10 billion light years. If they were placed in a regular cosmic bubble, all the matter in the universe would be easily swallowed up in just a blink of an eye!
Dozens of super black holes comparable to regular cosmic bubbles were scattered in this star field without any rules, flying around in a violent manner.
The chaotic system of this super-large cosmic bubble also had a perfect explanation at this moment.
- These super black holes clustered together moved in the central area of the universe with completely unpredictable trajectories.
Every leap would bring about a strong space-time fluctuation in the starry sky that was enough to tear apart some small cosmic bubbles.
And these violent space-time fluctuations and chaotic microgravity systems directly created this cosmic bubble that has been in a chaotic state.
[Royal Court...]
Accompanied by a ray of white light coming from the hideous flesh wings on the back of the giant scorpion, the figure of the giant scorpion disappeared in the starry sky again, leaving only a weak information flow that gradually moved away and finally dissipated in the vast starry sky.
When the giant scorpion appeared again, it had already come to the edge of one of the super black holes.
Facing this huge monster that was filled with deep darkness everywhere, the giant scorpion's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
[Royal Court] is the core area of the entire universe, and at the same time, it is also the most dangerous area in the universe.
Even its clansmen have encountered accidents when entering [Royal Court].
It took a deep breath, and the scorpion tail that was previously swaying in the starry sky curled up, and the eight pairs of ventral feet on the abdomen also hugged tightly - doing so can minimize the probability of damage to the body. Among the Apophis clan, this is a fairly standard textbook method.
Buzz...
Almost at the same time as curling up into a ball, a faint bright yellow light came from the chest of this giant scorpion.
With each flash, the giant scorpion's body would become a little more illusory.
Then, accompanied by a white light from the fleshy wings on its back, a stream of information quietly passed to the super black hole in front that seemed to be able to devour everything in the world.
After a short wait.
A wave of waves that were difficult for others to detect spread out from the inside of the black hole. The accretion disk that had previously rotated at high speed around the black hole was instantly stagnant for 1 Planck time in this wave.
In this gap of 1 Planck time, the giant scorpion's already illusory figure suddenly disappeared in the starry sky.
Rumble...
The super black hole started to rotate again, and under the macroscopic gravity brought by the other black holes, it rushed to the starry sky far away.
Along the way, countless nebula materials and various unlucky planets and stars became the dishes of this super black hole.
...
[King, I received the distress signal from my people.]
The giant scorpion crawled on the ground of the [King's Court] with a respectful look.
Its body was already large enough, even far larger than ordinary stars in the conventional universe, but compared to the [Royal Court] in front of it, it was still as small as an ant.
This was a "palace" built inside a super black hole, a huge monster with a scale measured in millions of light years.
Right in front of it, a giant scorpion with a slightly bloated body and a little cold light flashing on its body surface was opening its mouthparts and piercing directly into a huge star with a surface full of orange-red light.
Unlike ordinary giant scorpions, the back abdomen of this giant scorpion was particularly swollen. At first glance, it looked like an inverted cone.
And inside this cone, countless densely packed scorpion eggs were arranged.
This was a female insect.
Swish...
As it pierced its mouthparts into the star in front of it, an amazing picture appeared in the spacious [Royal Court].
The orange-red star first expanded violently at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then shrank rapidly. The light on its surface also went through three different stages: orange-red, dark red, and blue-white. Finally, under the gaze of the giant scorpion, the last blue-white light also dimmed, and the main sequence star in its prime became a dark black, inconspicuous planet - from the main sequence star to the red giant, then from the red giant to the white dwarf, and finally from the white dwarf to the black dwarf. In just a few tens of seconds, this main sequence star has completed its life journey of billions, even tens of billions of years.
During this process, the cone on the abdomen of the queen insect also lit up with a faint orange light, as if the substances absorbed by the queen insect from the star were transported to this bloated organ.
[The carbon content of this star is too high, which will affect the strength of the next batch of daughters. ]
[Remember to find stars with lower carbon content in the future. 】
After receiving a positive response, the queen insect waved her ventral legs and casually threw the black dwarf in front of her to the side, then slowly lowered her head and cast her eyes on the giant scorpion that had been lying in front of her.
【Signal for help? 】
The white light on the queen insect's back kept flashing, and a stream of information also flowed to the giant scorpion: 【What kind of distress signal is it? 】
【A signal from the worker scorpions? Or a signal from those colonies? 】
Facing the king whose size was a hundred times larger than its own, the giant scorpion crawled deeper.
【None of them. 】
【It was... a distress signal from the soldier scorpion. 】
Hua La La! !
A burst of restlessness came from the front, and the giant scorpion carefully raised its eyes and glanced in the direction of the king.
【Soldier scorpion... It turned out to be a distress signal from the soldier scorpion...】
The queen insect's armor flashed with a blue-purple light, and it was obvious that it was not calm at this time: 【Another new membrane civilization? 】
Under the giant scorpion's gaze, the queen scorpion swung her ventral legs, straightened her bloated body, and let out a high-pitched hiss: [Army, assemble! ]
[Start the black hole jump! ]
[For the ultimate! Launch an attack on the target star field! ! ]
Amid the queen scorpion's hissing, the huge royal court became lively in the blink of an eye.
[Expedition! Expedition!! Expedition!!! ]
Streams of information came out from the corners of the royal court, and quickly gathered into a howling information storm: [Plunder! Plunder all available resources! ]
[For the ultimate! For the glory of the king! ]
In the increasingly fierce information storm, huge giant scorpions emerged from the darkness, saluted the queen scorpion, and rushed out of the royal court.
[King, please wait! ]
Seeing such a huge scene, the giant scorpion's body trembled: [I haven't finished yet, I... I haven't obtained the other party's coordinate information yet. 】
【……】
In an instant.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed. The heated information storm in the king's court dissipated in an instant. The soldier scorpions, which were several times or even dozens of times larger than it, stopped their actions and turned to cast questioning eyes at it.
But compared to the death stares of those soldier scorpions, the king's silence undoubtedly made it more uneasy.
【……No coordinate information? 】
The queen insect slowly spoke, and a deep chill was revealed in her calm tone: 【Why is there no coordinate information? ! 】
【I, I don't know! 】Facing the king's scrutinizing eyes, the giant scorpion's body trembled more and more violently, 【The distress information I received was incomplete, maybe...】
A light flashed in the giant scorpion's mind: 【The opponent's strength is too strong, and those soldier scorpions did not have time to send a complete distress signal. 】
As it said this, it hurriedly transmitted the information it had received earlier to the queen insect.
【……】
After a long silence, the queen insect sighed: 【The process of sending the signal was interrupted, and it did not contain any coordinate information...】
At the moment when the conclusion was made, the atmosphere in the royal court became more depressing.
This is trouble.
Without the coordinate information, everything is in vain.
It is not easy to encounter a new membrane civilization in the universe. Is this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
A trace of unwillingness appeared in the eyes of the queen insect.
Suddenly.
It seemed to have noticed something and slightly widened its scarlet eyes.
Feeling the tiny sounds that quietly appeared in its mind, the unwillingness in the eyes of the queen insect quickly dissipated, replaced by a little hesitation and excitement.
This is...
the voice of [Ultimate]!
After hundreds of millions of years, it finally heard the voice of [Ultimate] again! !
