Chapter 44: Encountering a Black Hole



The spacecraft had switched to autopilot mode, and Luo Tian stared at the holographic screen, hoping to find traces of the Earth. He remembered that three hundred years ago, the astronomical book recorded that the Earth was located between Venus and Mars.

Of course, since the orbit of the planet is very large, it is not necessarily possible to see the Earth by chance when passing through the Earth's orbit. But Luo Tian still holds the idea of trying his luck, hoping to see the blue planet that he has been dreaming about.

Seeing Luo Tian's nervous expression, the Red Witch asked curiously, "What are you looking at? We haven't reached Venus City yet."

Luo Tian's eyes were still fixed on the screen: "I'm looking at this star field."

"Are you looking for the planet called Earth?" The Scarlet Witch more or less guessed it.

Luo Tian nodded: "Yes, I don't believe that the earth disappeared just like that."

The Scarlet Witch did not stop him, but looked into the dark and deep space with him.

The spacecraft system prompts: [There is a stellar fleet ahead that is about to enter a safe distance].

Scarlet Witch quickly called up the spaceship driving interface, and an option button popped up on the interface: forward mode or dodge mode.

Scarlet Witch chose evasion mode to avoid being spotted by the Starfleet ahead.

"Is that the fleet of Venus City?" Luo Tian observed on the screen that there were three rows of shining spots moving towards the spacecraft.

The Scarlet Witch said: "In this star field, it is most likely the Venus City Fleet, and it is not ruled out that it is the Mercury City Fleet. However, judging from the speed of movement, I think the former is more likely."

Luo Tian was a little confused: "Haven't you, Mars City, Venus City, and Mercury City already formed a survival alliance? Are you still afraid that he will attack your spaceship?"

The Scarlet Witch laughed and said, "You think too simply. There is no eternal friendship between the star cities, only eternal interests. Although the three star cities are in an alliance, there will actually be internal struggles. Besides, Venus City has always valued money over people. Even if they knew I was from Mars City, they might ask me for a large sum of money. So it's better to stay away from them."

The spacecraft system prompts: [The route has been adjusted and will take 30 minutes longer than the original route. ]

Luo Tian discovered that the three rows of light spots on the screen were indeed getting farther and farther away from the spacecraft, and the entire route was still dull black.

The spaceship had not been sailing for long when the alarm suddenly sounded again: [There is a black hole with strong gravitational force ahead, requesting to change the route, requesting to change the route. ]

Scarlet Witch and Luo Tian quickly leaned towards the screen and found that there was a large black vortex area ahead of the spacecraft's route. It was slowly rotating and moving, and it would be impossible to see it clearly without careful observation.

At this time, a meteorite flew to the edge of the black vortex, just like a stone flowing along the edge of the vortex towards the center, until it fell into the center of the bottomless black hole vortex.

"The meteorite has disappeared. According to my estimation, the meteorite just now could accommodate a hundred spaceships. I didn't expect that this black hole would be so big." The Scarlet Witch said as she swiftly corrected the course on the operating platform.

After the route was modified, the spacecraft continued to travel along the new route, and the system prompted: [The new route has been determined, and it is expected to take 1 hour longer than the original route].

"How come there is so much extra time?" Luo Tian looked at the Scarlet Witch in confusion.

"It's a very large black hole and we have to travel around its edge, so it will take a long time."

"Has this black hole always existed?" Luo Tian asked curiously.

The Red Witch shook her head. "This is the first time I've encountered this. It's really strange. I've been to Venus City many times before, but I've never encountered a black hole. How come it's such a coincidence that I suddenly ran into one today?"

Luo Tian suddenly thought of something and said, "This black hole may be rotating around a predetermined orbit, so the coordinate position where it appears is not fixed."

The Scarlet Witch didn't answer because she wasn't sure what was going on.

Luo Tian felt the spaceship start to shake again: "Is the spaceship passing the edge of the black hole?"

The Scarlet Witch has switched the spaceship to manual driving mode. "Yes, I have tried to stay as far away from the black hole as possible, but the edge of this black hole is also very large. The spaceship has activated the gravity shielding device and has adjusted the propulsion speed to the maximum. Otherwise, we would have been sucked in by it long ago."

Luo Tian stared at the black hole on the screen and found a faint light spot in the center of the black hole: "Such a huge black hole should be formed by the collapse of a star, but in the solar system, only the collapse of the sun can produce a black hole, and the sun is still hanging in the sky!"

The Red Witch said solemnly: "Stellar collapse is only one possibility for the formation of a black hole. It is also possible that this black hole is an interstellar weapon created by an advanced civilization. If this is true, we may have been targeted by an advanced civilization at this time."

Her guess frightened Luo Tian. If this black hole was created by an advanced civilization, then this civilization even had the ability to destroy the sun.

The two held their breath, feeling the turbulence of the spacecraft, hoping that this black hole was not an interstellar weapon and looking forward to escaping its clutches as soon as possible.

After a while, the turbulence of the spacecraft gradually subsided, and the two men breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping the vortex of the black hole.

The Red Witch did not dare to be careless and continued to manually drive the spaceship, while Luo Tian looked at the screen. As the spaceship sailed, no abnormal situation occurred, which meant that the Earth really disappeared completely in the world of Kaiyuan.

Although Luo Tian was a little disappointed, he did not give up the search for the Earth. Perhaps this route just missed the Earth. When he has the chance, he will definitely drive the spaceship to search for the trace of the Earth again.

Suddenly, the spacecraft sounded another warning: [Emergency ahead, emergency ahead.]
