Chapter 1577 Those Fragments? !
The "Energy-Guiding Long Bridge" had been completely stopped, and its internal energy response was zero, so Sandora and I both safely and boldly connected the work boat to the end of the "Energy-Guiding Long Bridge" to provide energy for the latter. By the way, you can also scan the structure of this facility through the crystallization tube network to determine its function. But I don’t know if it’s my evil star or something else... Even a place like this needs an accident: the three-kilometer-long "abandoned facility" suddenly started up, and the energy that had been extinguished on its surface was... The veins suddenly brightened, and the silver-white alloy shell surged with abundant psionic energy. Fortunately, Shandora and I had already passed through the break of the long bridge and came outside, so we could watch this huge facility from the sidelines with peace of mind. Awakened quickly as if resurrected, and blew up our work boat after a surge of energy.
"What's going on!?" I finally reacted quite quickly. I didn't care about the small loss of the unmanned spacecraft at first, but immediately went to scan the energy flow in the "Energy Guide Bridge". The result was surprisingly It was discovered that it had received an energy supply from nowhere and was now restarting at an extremely high speed!
"I'm afraid this thing is not just a fragment as we imagined..." Sandora suddenly released a large number of golden lines from her body, which condensed into a huge arrow in the air. The whole "person" pointed like a mouse pointer. Pointing in a certain direction, "Arjun, look at the fracture surface."
I stared at the big pointer beside me dumbfounded, and then I realized that now was not the time to pay attention to this: Sandora was pointing at the place where the long energy-guiding bridge was "cut off", around the oblique section that seemed to be cut off by a sharp blade. It is showing obvious spatial anomalies! The space within a hundred meters around the cross-section rippled like water. The blue veins of nether energy extended directly from the armor plate of the energy-guiding bridge into space, maintaining its spreading shape on the armor plate and stretching out for a long time. It gradually faded and disappeared after half a kilometer, and at the same time it was on the empty side of the section. Some vague phantoms flashed out from time to time under the radiance of psionic energy. I immediately knew what was going on: it was the "cut off" part of the long energy-conducting bridge! In fact, this thing was not cut off at all?
"This should be related to the weird space structure here. The 'energy-conducting long bridge' has not been cut off. The other part of it should just be located in a certain space fold. The two seem to be separated. But in higher dimensions "Connected together," Shandora Ball analyzed professionally, "the psionic energy is cross-dimensional, so when the psionic energy flows again, this 'separation' is temporarily neutralized, and the phantoms we see It should be the image of the energy-conducting long bridge in another dimension. This was originally a quite simple phenomenon. But the space encryption here is really weird. I didn't think of this just now. Ah Jun, look...those nether energy veins are stretching, and It seems to be expanding in all directions. This is probably the shape of the 'cut' part of the 'Energy Conducting Long Bridge'... No, that should be the main body of the building. What we see in the current time and space are only the sharp corners of the building. Like the head of an awl sticking out of your pocket."
I turned these words over and over in my head more than three times, barely building up this space model that was not easy to understand, and then clapped my hands (without making a sound of course): "So we can follow these psionic energy veins to find the person being Encrypted space?”
"It doesn't seem that easy," Sandoraball trembled restlessly, "The scientific research team of the engineering ship is using the highest power to crack the keys here, but these keys have penetrated all the way into the 'frequency' of the nether energy... This energy-conducting long bridge was not accidentally exposed to this space. It seems to be a tentacle. It is something in the design, and its activation does not affect the integrity of the entire space lock... It is best for us to go and experience it in person. Ah Jun, please protect Well, the defensive power of the spiritual spark is not as good as my main body. If it is blown to pieces, I will have to make a new one."
I quickly hugged Sandora Ball and protected both of them with a shield, then cautiously approached the shining "Energy Guide Bridge", and plunged directly into the section with turbulent light flow, thinking Look what has changed here.
Strong energy was surging all around, and I felt that the location I was in should be an energy node. If the "energy-conducting long bridge" was restored to integrity, this would probably be the hub of the crystallized pipe network or the location of the energy regulating valve. The scientific research crew carried by the engineering ship cannot crack the complex spatial encryption here. So I can only try to see if my weird little ability can get around it, but I have to be very careful in this process: I am trying to inject the power of void creatures directly into an old antique device that has not been maintained for tens of thousands of years. Here, although the imperial equipment has always been durable, the nether energy node is like a heart, which may explode.
I'm not afraid of getting hurt. Sandora probably wouldn't mind recreating a spiritual spark for me to play with, but if the antique explodes, it will be gone.
The spiritual power carefully expanded along the torrent of psionic energy flowing out of thin air in space, shifting my "perspective" from the angle familiar to humans to a broader direction. I began to feel that I was moving along the energy, and the surroundings It's space... space... space... the wreckage of a work ship... Oh, it's the other way around. Let's change the direction.
After sensing it in another direction, I was finally sure of what I vaguely "saw": in a chaotic and weird space, psionic energy veins that were so complex that they could drive any intelligent creature crazy were entangled, pulsating, and permeated. In some kind of system as huge as a planet. This energy is constantly flowing, and there is no trace of the damage caused by tens of thousands of years of sleeping. A certain "giant facility" with huge energy seems to have been maintaining operation, even though these facilities in the outer space have all shut down. , the core of this ruins group is hidden intact in the alien space, beating slowly and powerfully like a dormant heart.
I can only "see" the energy distribution in that different space by sensing the flow of psionic energy, so what I can see is only the energy veins, which is equivalent to only being able to see a person's vascular system. You can outline it through this network The human form, but the latter’s face is unknown—this metaphor seems a bit scary? Anyway, it probably means the same thing.
Based on the energy veins, I judge that what is hidden in the alien space seems to be an artificial planet. Is it a star battleship from the old empire era? Or was it another "Green Star" ark that the tree elves took when they fled? Or even more bizarre...is it the Glory Starship?
It's hard to be sure. I can only see the psionic energy intertwined into the shape of a planet, but with my level of knowledge, I can't determine the model of that thing based on this. I guess Sandora can't either, it's too complicated.
I just don’t know what’s going on. The twisted and entangled psionic energy veins only formed a thick “shell”, but its core is empty. It seems that there is something that I can’t understand or have never seen before. Wrapped in veins. Although it is integrated into one, it can be clearly distinguished that it is not a system... Could it be that this encrypted space is not to protect the artificial planet inside it, but to protect something more precious at the core of the artificial planet? Double insurance?
At this time, I suddenly felt that the flow of psionic energy around me became more turbulent. It seemed that my long-term "immersion" was destroying the stability of this system. I knew that the power of my void creature was actually a powerful bomb that was difficult to control. I hurriedly Take back your own mental power to prevent blowing up the entire system. When my eyes came into focus, I saw my shiny, golden and round daughter-in-law floating in front of me: Sandora's ball was almost touching my face.
"Arjun, what did you see? You looked very serious just now!" Her Majesty the Queen had no idea that she had become a completely naturally cute person. She asked me about the situation with a cute appearance and a serious tone.
"The alien space is equivalent to the size of the sun. In its center is parked what looks like a planet battleship. It may also be the second Green Star Ark that the exiles took. I can only see the energy flow in the artificial planet, so I dare not Determine its model. In addition, there is an undetectable area in the core of the planet. It does not look like the structure of the artificial planet itself. It seems... to be cargo. "
While explaining what I saw, I used the word "cargo" carefully. Among the many "historical issues" related to the old empire, the word "cargo" always touches people's heartstrings. It means trouble. And most of the time it means a business trip - but now Sandora and I have been forced to travel here on business, so there seems to be nothing to worry about?
"Is it really a big thing? Maybe the God's Forge is really it?" Sandora's ball floated away a little, "No, I can't be sure. This is basically a guess. Why did this 'Energy-Guiding Long Bridge' suddenly appear? Started? It seems to be the 'pendant' of the artificial planet you mentioned. It is always shut down. Could it be that we forcibly 'externally powered' it and triggered some alarm? It doesn't look like it. I haven't seen it yet. The defense forces are rushing out."
The Sandora ball floated into space, and when she found that no defense forces appeared, she sighed in disappointment at the mental channel.
By the way, you are so disappointed now! There's only one ball left, so why don't you get so excited? !
"If there is a defense force rushing out, we will at least have a chance to capture an AI and analyze it," Sandora explained. It turns out that it is not all the war factor in the bones of Xiling Apostle that is at work. "If we go in, we can only hope that something will come out - but now it seems that this is not reliable."
"It seems that the encrypted space here is the handiwork of Abyss Xiling. Even if she did not do it herself, it was some kind of equipment she left to the escapees to build this encrypted space." I looked at the scene in space, except in front of us. In addition to the "energy-conducting long bridge" that is getting brighter and brighter, the various abandoned facilities in the distance are still lifeless. I don't know what this complex of buildings jointly built by a large number of races is for. I can only confirm that it seems that there are only Its core empire facilities have withstood the test of time and are operating to this day. "That guy really has her everywhere...but at least it's not all bad. Wait! Sandora, what do you think that is?"
I pointed in the distance in surprise: the energy-conducting long bridge had reached a certain critical value, and a huge structure like a gate to the world was emerging from its end. This huge ring-shaped structure emerged out of thin air. came out and stood still hundreds of meters above the end of the long energy-guiding bridge, with a diameter of more than ten miles (already far beyond the scale of the long energy-guiding bridge). Circles of ripples began to appear rapidly inside the ring, and a certain A space door leading to the far distance, maybe even to other worlds, seems to be open, but it is different from the doors to other worlds we have seen - we can't sense the information leaked from the ripples at all. A scent from other worlds.
When Sandora and I scanned this weird portal curiously, a large piece of something that looked like some kind of wreckage suddenly appeared in front of the portal! This piece of debris has slightly curved edges and a dark surface. It seems to be a fragment that fell from a huge ring-shaped facility. Its two ends are uneven. There were traces of torn metal, and pipes and wiring inside that had been violently damaged could also be seen.
Before I had time to take another look at it, this huge alloy fragment that looked like a wreckage passed through the newly established portal and completely disappeared into this universe. Then the portal disintegrated and dissipated into space again, and the blue light on the surface of the long energy-guiding bridge quickly dimmed. All of this disappeared faster than it appeared, and it was over ten seconds later: the weird "gate to the world" of more than ten kilometers returned to a certain encrypted space, and the long energy-guiding bridge also returned to its lifeless appearance. It was the same scene as what Shandora and I saw when we first arrived here.
"What happened just now?" I turned my head and glanced at Sandora, "It turns out that the energy-guiding bridge has been charged for so long just to open the door to the world and send something out? Is it related to our actions? What?"
"That doesn't seem to be a simple door to the world... its working principle is different. I can't even sense where it leads to." The surface of Sandora's ball is filled with unprecedented bright light, which seems to express itself. Surprised, "It seems that we have indeed overthought it. It was not our activities that awakened the energy-conducting bridge. It just woke up at this moment and sent something away according to a certain program. You and I just happened to catch up with this scene." ...But having said that, Arjun, don’t you think the wreckage that was sent away just now looks a bit familiar?”
I curled my lips, thinking that no matter how bizarre it was, I could only admit that I had seen something similar: "It seems... it's Huesca's star ring fragments? We seem to have collected 99% of the star ring fragments. But there are definitely some missing.”
Yes, Viska's Star Ring Crushed Skin! The star ring was the weapon pendant of the Viska Barrier Star (the moon) back then. There were originally two of them, and one of the star rings was blown into countless pieces. And they caused us a lot of trouble in the early days of the establishment of the new empire (many incidents were caused by those fragments). Over the past few years, we have been cleaning up these dangerous objects wandering around in the void and the worlds, and almost eliminated them. Everything has been cleaned up, but after all, it is something that has been blown into powder. There will always be fish that slip through the net and are not discovered... But I never expected to see a star ring fragment here!
And it seems that the star ring fragments were released from this world?
It's a bit too early to draw this conclusion now, but at least I just witnessed one of the fragments being sent away through a device suspected of being a world gate, right under my and Sandora's noses!
"I just asked the engineering ship to launch a probe to follow the wreckage," Sandora never loses control. Even if something happened suddenly, she still reacted. "But the probe was lost after passing through the portal." Contacted - we still have to solve the blockade problem of this universe first."
"There are more and more mysteries now. It's interesting, but also a headache." I looked at the long energy-conducting bridge suspended quietly in space. This three-kilometer-long metal "tentacle" had once again regained its original shape. With a lifeless appearance, a certain system located in the encrypted space seemed to have interrupted the energy supply to this place. It was completely by mistake that he and Sandora saw the shocking scene just now. This is probably the only situation where our luck works: the chance of encountering an incident is extremely high.
If I guessed correctly, this long energy-conducting bridge was not accidentally exposed to outer space. It may have been left here to calibrate the World Gate. Maybe it would be activated every once in a while? Throw out a piece of the star ring every time you start it?
In other words... what it throws out is not just the star ring fragments, but what else is there in that different space?
None of this can be explained. The scientific research crew of the engineering ship is still working hard to crack the space encryption lock here, but there is no progress at all. Abyss Xiling is worthy of being the spiritual collection of all the apostles of the old empire. The encryption system she left behind is in the old empire era. They all belong to the highest technology, and it goes without saying that it is impossible to solve it now!
"Oh, I finally found something related to the tree elves." At this time, the Sandora ball suddenly floated over. She was paying attention to the energy-conducting long bridge and the thrown star ring fragment. At the same time, she was also operating on multiple lines, analyzing The probe returned the scanning results of other surrounding facilities, and now she finally found something. "Tree elf-style equipment was found in some large buildings. It is the 'original style' on the Green Star. It is not what we were there on." The tree elf style found on the planet has undergone cultural integration. There are indeed tree elves among the races that built this ruins."
"It seems that we can only go back first and see what the old cadres of the Lost God Cult have to say," I said, while raising my eyes to look into the deep space. "Speaking of which... I haven't found any other advanced civilizations yet. A planet?"
"No," Sandra Ball's tone was a little disappointed, "At least within the scope of this galaxy, only the planet we first landed on has advanced civilization. There are some planets in other places that have relatively primitive ecosystems, but they are not as advanced as civilization. It's still far away. It seems that the wanderers who fled here were not able to develop again in their new homeland. They found a random planet to take root, and then fell back to their primitive life soon after."
This is another strange phenomenon. Let’s go back and ask the people from the Lost God Religion.
