Chapter 55 Disaster Clouds
'One... do you think there is a possibility that it has run out of oil? '
[...? ? ? ]
One was stunned by Chen Fan's sudden question.
[You mean... the energy of the Wall of Sighs has been exhausted? ]
After getting Chen Fan's affirmation, One also fell into silence.
After thinking for a long time, One's voice sounded again.
[The energy demand of the plasma barrier is very low, but for a level one or level two civilization, it is still a large energy consumer. ]
[Therefore, there is indeed such a possibility. ]
Chen Fan silently turned his head and glanced at the city of Varela, which was full of low-rise buildings: 'What level of civilization do you think Varela is? '
[...]
One fell into a rare long silence.
After a long time, it continued to make sounds.
[This machine thinks that this mainly depends on the civilization level of the goddess. ]
[If the other party is a level three or above civilization, then this possibility is almost zero. ]
'What's the reason? '
[As the basic stratum of interstellar civilization, the primary energy acquisition method for level one and level two civilizations is controlled nuclear fusion, and the energy efficiency is relatively low. ]
[Starting from level three civilization, the energy acquisition method will gradually change to the annihilation of matter and antimatter. ]
[For a small plasma barrier, a large-capacity antimatter battery is enough to support its operation until the end of time. ]
Chen Fan was secretly shocked.
Good guy.
From what Yi said, the energy acquisition method before controlled nuclear fusion is not even ranked in the human alliance!
[Therefore, this machine is more inclined to the internal parts that have failed after long-term operation. ]
[Think about it, if you throw a desk lamp to a primitive man, and the primitive man drives it day and night without any maintenance and maintenance during this period, do you think this desk lamp can still be used? ]
The words are indeed a bit rough, but the meaning is still very accurate.
Chen Fan nodded silently to show his understanding.
"Let's go."
He turned around and waved to Isa and Gao Yuan beside him: "Go home first, and make plans after the God's Descent Ceremony is over."
...
Varila City, East Cathedral, Side Hall.
The archbishop in a gorgeous red robe stood quietly in front of the window of the side hall, his mechanical head with a metallic luster slightly raised, and his four mechanical eyes stared straight at the sky outside the window.
A sudden cool breeze blew in from the window, making the luxurious curtains whistle.
The sky was densely distributed with clouds like fish scales. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, these fish scale clouds dyed the entire sky bloody.
"The weather is going to change again."
A mechanical voice sounded in the side hall: "In recent years, the frequency of disaster clouds has increased."
The archbishop stretched out his mechanical prosthesis from under his red robe, put his hands together, and let out a long sigh:
"Lord... May you complete it as soon as possible..."
Before the voice fell, the door of the side hall was pushed open by someone, making a dull sound.
The empty side hall was suddenly filled with echoes.
The archbishop put down his hands and slowly turned to look towards the hall door.
"Wallis, you've lost your composure."
At the door of the side hall, Wallis, wearing a purple bishop's robe, looked at the tall red figure and felt his heart stagnate.
He took a deep breath, and the cool air surrounded his burning lungs, taking away a lot of residual heat and exhaust gas, and also taking away some of the anger in his heart.
"My Lord Archbishop, I'm sorry."
Wallis bent down slightly and apologized to the Archbishop in front of him who was more than half a head taller than him.
"Failed?"
The Archbishop asked casually: "Did the priest named Isa not inform the Chosen One?"
"No, as you guessed, Isa did leak the matter to Chen Fan."
"But we still failed."
"Chen Fan saw through our plan and even took advantage of the situation to design a corresponding trap for me."
Wallis briefly reported his experience: "So far, there is no evidence to show that the Chosen One Chen Fan has any other intentions."
Hearing this, the Archbishop's calm expression became solemn.
Wallis paused: "But I still think this is just an appearance."
"I can see that he is different from other Chosen Ones. There is no respect and reverence for the Lord in his eyes!"
The Archbishop fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke again: "No evidence at all?"
"No." Wallis shook his head and clenched his fist unwillingly. "He used the safety of the library and the reputation of other chosen ones and the church as bargaining chips. At this critical moment, I have to give in."
The archbishop understood Wallis' words.
"Chen Fan..."
He murmured in a low voice, and the red light in his four mechanical eyes became even brighter: "I remember you mentioned it once before. He performed very well in the third oracle. Is he the perfect candidate required by the Lord?"
"Yes." Wallis was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.
"In that case, then hold the God's Chosen Ceremony in advance!"
Under Wallis' shocked eyes, the archbishop turned around abruptly and walked towards the side hall door.
In the heavy footsteps, a sentence with a little metallic resonance fell: "I will go to find the Pope first, you and the other bishops get ready."
...
The next morning.
For the church and believers, the God's Descent Ceremony is a very important day.
Therefore, Chen Fan was woken up early in the morning and put on the official dress of the Chosen One - the platinum robe of the Chosen One.
After completing various complicated preparations, Chen Fan and Gao Yuan, who was also wearing the robe of the Chosen One, followed Carlisle and a strange black-robed priest, and walked towards the God's Descent Place where the God's Descent Ceremony was held.
The sky was extremely gloomy, with layers of clouds piled up in the sky, and only a little weak sunlight shone through these thick clouds to the earth.
A wisp of cold wind blew from the sky, taking away some of the remaining warmth on the surface.
"Is it cold?"
Looking at Chen Fan's shrinking body, Gao Yuan said in a low voice happily: "Get used to it, every time the Varela calendar changes, it's like this."
"When the goddess really descends, even the sun will disappear completely, and it will be even colder at that time." "
The sky collapses, the sun and the moon have no light... That's the real miracle!"
Chen Fan was shocked.
The sun will disappear? !
Such a grand scene, is it really humanly possible?
[Maybe something temporarily blocked the light of the star. 】
Yi's voice sounded in his mind: 【There is no atmosphere in space, and light can only travel in a straight line. Therefore, we only need to place a large enough sunshade between the planet and the star. 】
【For an interstellar civilization, this operation is not difficult. 】
Looking at the holographic demonstration animation projected on the retina, Chen Fan's heartbeat calmed down a little.
