It is not a long-term solution to be trapped on this planet, but it is not so easy to leave the planetary system-the divine storm entrenched in the X star cluster still has no sign of stopping, although the space is calm on the surface, as long as When Hao Ren and the others leave the gravitational circle of the planetary system, an energy surge in the space will be immediately triggered, the flight path will be blocked, the transition will be blocked, and the navigation computer will be destroyed in an instant.
In this way, even returning to the voyage becomes a risky adventure, let alone conducting any investigation in this mysterious and ancient galaxy group.
In order to change this passive and frustrating situation, Hao Ren's first thought was to figure out what the divine power storm that is ubiquitous in this cosmic space is, to figure out its strength, structure, mode of operation, and finally Important—the way to judge the intercepting body.
Everyone came to the control center of the outpost, where there are large-scale holographic projection equipment and information control terminals, which can exchange and control real-time data with the Giant Turtle Rock and the drone swarm. Nolan sent the drone swarm The returned information is summarized here, and it is made into straightforward and easy-to-understand reports and images.
"This ship sent a total of 22 detection teams to conduct a large-scale detection centered on this star. This is the result of the detection."
Above the large-scale holographic projection device, a large number of silver-white lines and mist quickly emerged from the originally starry space. These lines and mist interweave into a three-dimensional structure like a network, covering the entire space in an extremely complicated way, and This three-dimensional network is not fixed yet: it is undergoing complex deformation and reorganization every minute, some old structures will perish, and new structures will be created when the silver and white lines meet. The whole network is like a living thing. It is running like a thing, endlessly, it is difficult to fathom.
Looking at this network, Hao Ren couldn't help but a picture appeared in his mind: the silver-white line of divine power trembled in the universe, and every time it would sweep across the vast space measured in light-years at super-light speed, some kind of strange The huge visible system runs day and night with the help of these threads of divine power, and any wanderer who strays into it will be crushed into powder like a stone falling into a millstone, and he himself almost fell into this situation not long ago.
What kind of secret does the Goddess of Creation hide in this place? Is this huge divine power system the secret body, or is it a Great Wall of Steel set up to keep this secret
"How big is the area shown on this picture?" Vivienne asked.
The autonomous machine controlled by Nolan flew to the front of the holographic projection, waving a large number of mechanical tentacles: "It only occupies less than one-fifth of the entire X star cluster, which is our current detection limit - no matter how far away there are A more powerful divine storm, and there are many active information flashpoints, it may be some kind of trap, rushing in may cause unpredictable consequences. Moreover, the range of activities of the drone group is very limited now, and the detection team that travels too far There will be insufficient support from the rear."
"Understood." Hao Ren nodded, "Based on the structure of this part of the divine power observed so far, can it be inferred that the entire X star cluster has similar things?"
"Basically, it can be considered so," Nolan replied, "This structure has a high degree of order, and its distribution trend in the whole can be deduced from the partial structure. In a more reliable model, this divine power structure covers the entire Ninety-eight percent of the X star cluster."
"I really didn't expect such a thing to be hidden in this place..." Lily smacked her lips with a horrified expression, "I can't see it at all."
"In the case of inactivation, the entire three-dimensional network is invisible, and only a small amount of information fluctuation is active in the cosmic background radiation, and it is integrated with the background radiation. If it is not for the drone group to specially turn on the multi-band detection antenna, it will not be possible at all. Can't find these things. And once activated, this network will immediately mobilize amazing energy and concentrate it in a small area, forming the kind of divine storm we have encountered before-with a very sensitive The feedback mechanism is controlling the process of energy extraction. If the concentrated energy cannot eliminate the 'invading foreign objects', then the energy gathered by the network will become stronger and stronger. The upper limit of this energy cannot be calculated yet, but it is definitely enough to destroy us. "
"Obviously, a fairly effective security system," Y'zaks folded his arms, "the goddess should be using it to protect something."
Lily shook her tail: "Maybe it's that crystal planet!"
"Have you found the activation law of this network?" Hao Ren asked again, "Why are we intercepted after we take off, but the drone swarm can come and go freely? Is it related to life reactions?"
The blockade of the X star cluster is conditional, and this has been proven—a large number of drones entering this star area did not cause interception, but a spaceship with a few crew members and a length of only a few hundred meters caused an explosion. A divine storm of astonishing scale was launched, and Hao Ren also asked Nolan to test it on the edge of the planetary system several times in the past few days, which proved that the activation of the divine storm was quite regular.
This made him wonder whether the "security system" set up by the Goddess of Creation had a filtering mechanism to filter out the intrusion of foreign life forms.
"Because the data flowing inside this 'divine power network' cannot be read, this ship cannot determine what kind of judgment mechanism it executes during the activation process, but from the results, it can be confirmed that it has a function similar to perception. Actively scan any entity that enters space, and be able to detect the life form and energy intensity of the scanned person-this is the biggest difference between this ship and the drone group. The energy intensity of this ship exceeds that of any drone, and you have brought life response."
Nolan guessed what kind of judging mechanism the blockade system of star cluster X has by analyzing the difference between manned spaceships and drone groups. This is the most effective way of thinking that can be thought of so far. Some differences: "Also—we have a divine response, but the drone group does not; we have a complete mind, but the drones that enter the X star cluster are only a small part of the entire cluster consciousness. It can be regarded as incomplete thinking; the purity of psionic energy used by the giant turtle rock platform is slightly higher than that of drones... "
Vivienne interjected: "And maybe this interception network is just to intercept me? I should be considered the most special here. I am directly created by the Goddess of Creation, and now I have restored the Goddess of Creation. No matter how you look at it, it is a striking signal source like a lighthouse."
Lily glanced at her: "Then it can only be said that the Goddess of Creation was very ill back then, don't forget that the navigation map to star cluster X was made out of your mind, and the Goddess of Creation left a map in your mind. The map, just to let you come over and be blocked at the door?"
Hao Ren coughed dryly: "Ahem, we all know that the Goddess of Creation was seriously ill. She was indeed schizophrenic back then."
"I think we're getting off topic," Nangong Sanba looked at everyone and expressed his thoughts, "Since we can't confirm which factor caused the 'security system' to be activated, it's better to try one by one and let Nolan Fly outside without anyone and try it out. If it is intercepted, it is a problem with the spaceship. If it is not intercepted, let her take us out one by one to see who was swept out by the security system... "
Nangong Wuyue looked at her elder brother in surprise, and suddenly flicked her tail, rolled up Nangong Sanba by the waist and waved it vigorously in the air: "Brother, your idea sounds good!"
Nangong Sanba was thrown in the air, leaving afterimages everywhere: "Then...then you still dump me...why dump me!!"
May has no guilt: "Get used to it, let's celebrate."
Hao Ren also supported Nangong Sanba's suggestion (and expressed limited sympathy for Nangong Sanba's experience): "Nolan, you can try this, but you must pay attention to safety, in case you are blocked by the divine power network Space can never come back."
"Understood, I'll arrange a test when I get back," Nolan nodded, and then switched the screen on the holographic projection, "I also found out about the divine power structure of the X star cluster, and you should be more interested in this."
The image on the holographic projection flashed, and Hao Ren saw a flat disk-shaped structure composed of mist and dust clouds appearing in the center of the screen emitting a faint light. The spewing out jet-like material belt looks like a cloud of primordial dust that failed to form a star as a whole.
Hao Ren recognized these things at a glance: "Isn't this the strange energy body that the drone group found in the X star cluster?"
"It's that thing," Nolan replied, "These energy structures are distributed throughout the star cluster X, and their distribution seems to be irregular. At present, it is roughly estimated that there should be thousands of such things in the entire star region. A few hours ago, a A detection drone approached one of the structures and took this image from a relatively close distance."
Hao Ren asked curiously: "Have you figured out the functions of these energy bodies?"
"Not yet, but the drone has received some interesting information."
Vivian next to her raised her eyebrows: "What information?"
"Some were sent to the drone actively by the other party, and some were intercepted by the drone. This is the translation result of all the information." Nolan directly put the information on the holographic projection.
"Unauthorized unit approach detected - please submit proof of access permit or identification code.
"If no effective signal is confirmed, it is forbidden to approach, otherwise compulsory measures will be taken.
"Unable to contact CENTRAL Command, take our own countermeasures - annihilate unauthorized units."
In the next second, a burst of brilliance suddenly appeared on the edge of the seemingly insubstantial cloud composed of light and gas clouds, and the hazy jet of matter turned into a crystal-like "beam" with elegant lines in the blink of an eye. ", this curved "beam" releases a large number of beams, and this is the last picture sent back by the drone.
It was wrecked.
