In the dark space of the universe, there are only a few stars around.
The stars are far away, highlighting the darkness of the void. In this absolute darkness, a steel planet floats quietly. No movement was seen on the steel planet. Somewhere in the void, a faint blue light suddenly appeared in the originally dark place. This light is like a whirlpool, slowly expanding.
The next moment, a channel appeared in the center of the vortex of light.
The dim light in the passage seemed to be distorted, and at the other end, there was also starlight, distorted and shining. The passage is not stable, the vortex expands and contracts, the distorted light sways, and the starlight at the end is also looming.
At this moment.
The steel planet has begun to tremble, and invisible ripples spread from the steel planet to the blue vortex.
As the ripples expanded, the blue vortex gradually stabilized and expanded into a portal much larger than the steel planet.
On the other side of the portal, there is still a starry sky.
"Success!"
In the steel planet, fire as huge as an iron block continuously devours the fire resources, and after burning internally, it outputs energy to the outside world. With a sigh of relief, Shen Cong activated his body. The steel planet just floated towards the blue portal, then paused for a moment and entered the portal without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the passage, Shen Cong felt that his perception was distorted and his body was also distorted.
It's just different from the memory of Phantom Wings traveling through the wormhole.
He can sense the outside world in the wormhole.
Phantom Wings passed through a wormhole, which was left by the Raging Starbreaker and led to the Earth. But that was because the wormhole was already unstable, and the Phantom Wing was only a dwarf star, so the impression it left on it was that of darkness, distorted perception, and almost died in it.
Now.
Shen Cong's perception clearly "saw" the structure of the wormhole.
This is a node in the space-time network, which is a relatively weak place. He uses fluctuations to penetrate this space-time node, and then connects to another space-time node to form a very unstable path. This pathway requires his energy to maintain and fix the space-time network around the pathway.
Once he withdraws his energy, there will be no fluctuations to guide the space-time network, and it will soon collapse and close.
This is a tunnel.
A channel that communicates over a distance of 20 light years.
It's just that there is no comparison with ordinary tunnels. Wormholes are opened in time and space, spanning the distance between time and space, and walking in another dimension. The universe does not allow faster-than-light travel that carries information, but wormholes exploit loopholes in the rules of physics and are built on the structure of space-time itself.
Before entering the stellar level, Shen Cong imagined many ways to create and travel through wormholes.
But after entering the star level and sensing the existence of space and time, everything is very logical. Without too much exploration and research, you can create a wormhole and use the light of the starry sky to locate the starting point and end point of the wormhole. , to achieve accurate creation of wormhole travel.
"It takes a lot of energy to maintain such a wormhole. I have to hoard enough resources. Otherwise, if the resources are insufficient and the energy output is insufficient, it will be very dangerous."
The wormhole is not long, and the wormhole created by Shen Cong is very stable, so after only feeling a distortion in his body, he has traveled 20 light years and arrived in a new void.
Perception radiates rapidly.
Light view reorientation.
The next moment, Shen Cong laughed: "It went very well. I am already only 19 astronomical units from the sun, approximately in the orbit of Uranus."
Making a wormhole for the first time.
Shen Cong accurately crossed countless time and space, from the Gliese 581 galaxy directly to the solar system.
Compared to the Violent Starbreaker who can easily create wormholes and accurately land in the Earth's orbit, his technology is still crude, but it already meets the necessary technology for inter-galactic travel.
"The familiar solar system... I'm back."
After sighing, Shen Cong quickly put away his emotions and flew towards the earth. When I return this time, I don’t know what the earth has developed into, what level of civilization it has reached, and what the people and beasts we once knew are like.
He doesn't have the feeling of timidity close to home.
Think carefully about the situation you have to deal with next, how to plan the future, and guide the evolution of earth civilization as your own help.
suddenly.
Shen Cong's perception of external diffusion has received electromagnetic signals. He is now able to freely accept various radiations and fluctuations in the universe. As long as the signals are not too weak, basically they cannot escape his star-level keen perception.
"Huh? Is this communication between the Earth and the Titan base?"
Listen carefully.
Soon Shen Cong heard clearly what this communication was saying. It seems to be related to an alien planet colonization and development plan called the "Territory Expansion Plan". The Earth Community regards Saturn's satellite Titan as a new colony on Earth, and has established an advanced base on Titan to carry out life interference.
It was once suspected that life might be born on Titan because there is a methane ocean here and the conditions are suitable for the formation of macromolecules, so it is very possible for life to be born.
However, when the local community sent a new satellite to observe, they found that macromolecules similar to amino acids were indeed formed here, but no life was formed here.
So they sent a team of scientists to Titan to conduct life research and prepare to transform Titan into a habitable planet.
The habitable planet here refers to a planet suitable for the development of elemental life, not organic life.
"Elemental life?"
Shen Cong was a little surprised by this term, but then he got the answer. Originally, the so-called elemental life was metal life. It's just that because the earth's fire seed resources are limited, after the fifty-person roster completed the planet-level cosmic fire, the fire grains were once in short supply.
Without fire particles, it would be difficult for metal life to continue to develop.
So scientists transformed metal life, replacing some metal elements with certain carbon, silicon and other elements, and transformed new metal life that can reproduce.
Because it is mixed with non-metallic elements, this new life form that can continue to reproduce is called elemental life.
"Change the route, go to Titan first, and get to know the situation!" Shen Cong thought, and instead of rushing to visit the Earth first, he prepared to log in to Titan and go to the forward base to communicate with the scientific researchers there.
Fluctuations guide space and time.
The steel planet changed its course in an instant without slowing down at all. It had entered the orbit of Neptune from the orbit of Uranus, and then quickly entered the orbit of Saturn. Continue to adjust the direction and fly towards the orbit of Saturn's satellites, while waiting for Titan to turn behind Saturn and block the earth.
When the Earth is obscured by Saturn, it means that communication between Titan and the Earth is interrupted.
At this time, Shen Cong quickly rushed towards Titan from under the cover of another Titan, but he did not land on Titan, but just dormant in Titan's orbit.
Because his current interference with the space-time network is too powerful and too close, it will have a great impact on Titan.
The Iron Planet orbits Titan.
This doesn't mean that Shen Cong can't get close to the advance base.
I saw the steel planet approaching Titan, the armor opened, and a small metal ball broke away from the steel planet and fell towards Titan. Titan has a thick atmosphere but very little gravity, so the landing was very smooth with almost no twists and turns.
Half an hour later, the metal ball landed not far from the forward base.
The forward base was not alerted.
The metal ball that fell into the orange haze trembled suddenly, then cracked, and quickly mechanically transformed into a three-meter-tall robot.
Stretch your arms and spread your fingers.
The robot's head twisted, its eyes flashed red, and stabilized. After looking at his mechanical palm and scanning the surrounding environment, the robot strode towards the forward base.
"The clone finally no longer needs to move in a virtual scene and can walk in a real environment!"
