Chapter 196: Final Star
About fifteen minutes later, the mechanical arm connected to the hull was released, the rear thrusters of the Morning Star were ignited, and the battleship slowly left the Harto Starport.
In the auxiliary function cabin above the bridge, before starting the "Zero Element Particle Space Effect Field Generator", Tang Fang turned his head and looked at Marion and the others on the wharf trestle outside the porthole, and whispered: "Take care, look forward to seeing you again!" The day we meet again."
Half a minute later, a cyan energy field spread outward from the position of the "generator", enveloping the entire battleship in a blink of an eye.
A large number of high-energy zero-element particles collided, causing space-time shocks, and a dark wormhole filled with lightning light gradually formed in the bow of the ship. About 5 minutes later, with a flash of light, the Morning Star left a distorted afterimage in the void, and disappeared at the entrance of the wormhole in an instant.
It wasn't until the wormhole closed and the streamer faded that Marion and the others on the jetty trestle recovered from their shock.
"This kid can always surprise people!" Someone murmured in a low voice.
...
The space between the sky and the earth was dim, and Megale, which was twice the size of the sun, cast a dim light on the churning clouds. Looking from below, the young stars that should be dazzling are just a round of extremely hazy dark red reflected in the clouds.
In the dark space below the clouds, a faint blue barrier stretches for thousands of miles, lying across this twilight world.
Outside the barrier was endless chaos, raging winds circling back and forth at a speed of more than 2,000 kilometers per hour, and the huge hurricane stirred up the heavens and the earth, full of rage and destruction like the wind roaring in hell.
In such an environment, let alone a person, even if it is a stubborn rock, once it is caught in the wind mass, the strong impact will crush it to powder in an instant.
High pressure, strong winds, chaos. It's cold, it's a dead place, lifeless, waterless. Only helium, hydrogen, and a few sulfides, methane, acetylene and other gases.
However, in this doomsday hell-like space, the blue barrier blocked all the raging wind and endless chaos. There was silence within the barrier, and faint blue fluorescent lights flashed like sparkling water waves, dotted with stars, like a peaceful, gorgeous night sky full of stars.
On top of this desert oasis, a majestic and majestic giant building stands above the void like a palace of a god. It was a wheel ring with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, similar to the structure of a ship's rudder. On the silver-gray outer wall, gleaming energy slots were outlined, and these energy slots were connected in series. Looking from a distance, it looks like the engravings of the relics of the ancestors, simple and vicissitudes, but also full of the beauty of lines.
This should have been a peaceful haven in the sea of storms,
A miraculous oasis in the boundless desert. However. At this moment, the flat space in the center of the rudder building distorted for a while, and strands of thunder light diffused into a tide. Then, a bit of darkness expanded rapidly, turning into a space-time wormhole several meters wide in the blink of an eye.
With the blueness flowing on the energy tank of the rudder building, the wormhole is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, a flash with a long afterimage flashed across, and a space battleship more than 200 meters long appeared in the cold and dark void.
...
The glaring warning light faded, Tang Fang let out a long breath, and the little boy who had jumped into his throat was finally put back into his stomach. The star map copied from the Ypsilon shuttle is somewhat deviated, and the repeater is no longer in place. If it weren't for the guidance of the navigation beacons of the subspace quantum slipstream, coupled with his fine manipulation, the "Morning Star" would have lost its direction and been swallowed by the collapse of time and space.
Sitting back on the seat, he panted heavily. The scene he had just experienced made his spirit tense to the extreme. At this moment, he relaxed, as if he had collapsed, his muscles trembled, his whole body was weak, and cold sweat had already soaked his entire back.
"Hoo hoo hoo..." The heavy panting sound echoed in the auxiliary function cabin, and it took him a long time to catch his breath, barely move his trembling arms, and slowly straighten up.
It was only a little bit short, as long as one negligence, it would be the end of the ship crash.
He glanced up at the psychic flames. "!" He couldn't help but burst into a rude sentence. What's the matter, the repeater coordinates provided by the star map are actually biased? This can't help but remind him of the GPS navigator on the car before crossing. The star map system on the emotional shuttle is the same thing. If you don't update the data for a long time, just drive on the road like this, and you didn't discuss it.
However, the former is at most going the wrong way, or paying two fines for traffic violations, while the latter will take the lives of everyone on the entire battleship.
This is simply playing with one's life!
When he was secretly slandering the Ipsilon people for being unreliable, there was a sound of "Chi", the rear hatch opened, and Claire and Aros, who had a gloomy face, walked in.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating profusely?" Seeing his pale face, as if he had been injured, the girl couldn't help asking worriedly.
Tang Fang was about to tell the two of the dangerous scene that happened in the subspace tunnel, but he swallowed the words again. Forget it, since they have successfully escaped, there is really no need to worry them.
"I'm fine, it's just that my mental energy is exhausted and my body is a little tired."
"Oh, it's fine." Claire nodded, feeling relieved.
Next, he shifted his gaze to Aross's face: "Aross, why do you have such an expression?"
"Huh? You really didn't notice?" Aros raised his eyebrows, answering the wrong question.
"Noticing what?" Before, all his thoughts were focused on guiding the "Morning Star" to sail, and he didn't know what Aros was referring to.
Claire stepped forward, tapped on the touch panel of the center console, and a partial star map of the Megale star system flashed on the projection device.
When Tang Fang saw the azimuth coordinates of the "Morning Star" and the planet marked with the word "Final Yan" behind it, his eyes widened suddenly: "Final...Final? We are on the final planet ?”
Claire smiled wryly: "That's right, it's the final star, and we're just in the central wind eye of the big black spot storm ring on its surface."
Tang Fang glanced in the direction of the star map again, with an innocent expression on his face: "This... really doesn't care about me."
The original owner of this body, Tang Yan, has lived here for 18 years, and his understanding of the Megare star system is far higher than that of Claire and Aros.
In addition to the "Megal" star in the center, there are 10 large and small planets in the whole system, among which the fourth planet Bruno and the fifth planet Rector are habitable planets. The other 8 contain 1 resource planet, 3 barren planets, and 4 gas planets.
The planet code-named "Final Yan" where the "Morning Star" is now is a gaseous planet. It is on the edge of the "Megal" star system, ranking eighth among the 10 planets.
Undoubtedly, "End Yan" is an ice giant star. Due to the complex chemical composition in the atmosphere, the clouds on the surface of the planet will reflect a dark brown strange light under the illumination of "Megal". Coupled with the large number of "black spots" that linger on the surface for a long time, it looks like the entrance to hell from a distance. Therefore, people gave it a very vivid title "Final Yan", which means the place of the end.
From Tang Yan's memory, I know that there is a huge cloud cyclone near the equator in the northern hemisphere of Final Yan, that is, the "Great Dark Spot." No one knows when the "Great Dark Spot" was formed. Since the star system, the "big dark spot" of the final star has always existed. In the past 200 years, it has neither increased nor shrunk, and even its position has not changed.
When you watch it for the first time, you may be shocked, sigh, or even intoxicated by its mystery, but after a long time, you will be bored, irritable, and produce aesthetic fatigue.
To paraphrase some soldiers, it is like a small, pretty, youthful woman, but she is too lazy, always only in one position, and has no interest in it. It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it.
At this very moment, the Morning Star was lying dead in the hole in the middle of it.
Surrounded by violent hurricanes far exceeding the speed of sound, thunderclouds gather and shine in the sky, and below is the bottomless chaotic abyss. Like its name, this is a land of the end.
Stretch out your finger and press a key, the external armor outside the functional cabin is slowly retracted, and you can look out through the porthole. From time to time, dots of starlight flashed on the surrounding protective barriers, and the rudder-shaped Ypsilon ruins hundreds of kilometers behind were suspended in the air, with faint light flowing on the engravings, looking from a distance, it looked like a giant handicraft with exquisite shape , Magnificent and magnificent, yet mysterious and coquettish.
Although the three of them had been psychologically prepared, after seeing the scene outside the window with their own eyes, they still inevitably fell into a daze, speechless for a long time.
"This... this... is so big." Claire said stammeringly. Although the discovery of the remains of Ypsilon in various countries happens from time to time, it is not a peerless thing, but such a huge body like now It was the first time she had seen Epsilon's creation.
As for Tang Fang and Aros, they should be much calmer. After all, when they were on Nami Star, they had seen with their own eyes a zero-source isotope refinery that used the planet's core as its energy source.
"Let's go to the bridge." After speaking, Tang Fang greeted the two of them and walked outside first. I believe that Grant, Nehemiah and others have also seen the things outside the porthole, so we must discuss carefully what to do next.
The three of them walked out of the auxiliary function cabin, took the elevator to the bridge, and when they entered the door, the female ship officer Yuffie Percy, who had a baby face, short hair, and a beautiful voice, greeted loudly: "The captain is here. .”
All the staff stood up to greet him, and Nehemiah and Grant in front of the big central screen also turned their heads to look at him.
"Relax, relax, don't be so serious." Smiling and nodding to Yuffie, Tang Fang walked over to Grant, looked up at the video from the unmanned surveillance drone on the central screen, and said, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
