To be honest, Asuman's nagging words made Hao Ren feel hairy in his heart - if Lily was here, the girl would probably be hairy again.
"When you say that, I can't help but think of the horror movie I watched in the middle of the night. Before I watched it, I felt so deserted in the big house that I wanted to die. After watching it, I felt that the big house was so lively that I wanted to die. I felt hidden everywhere I went. People," Hao Ren folded his arms and sighed, "Back then, I never imagined that one day I would do more indescribable work than in the movies."
Vivian gave Hao Ren a strange look: "Are you alone at home watching horror movies? What kind of subject?"
Hao Ren was a little embarrassed at once, and he deliberately tried to avoid it, but seeing Vivienne's serious and curious eyes, he couldn't help but say: "It's about vampires..."
Vivian: "... Hello!"
"At that time, I never thought that vampires would have such a cute model like you." Hao Ren laughed dryly, and quickly brought the topic back to the normal direction. So, could it be the special energy released by those dormant spaceships?"
Vivienne was confused by Hao Ren's "such a cute model" and didn't know what to say. She could only stare at the other party, and then looked at the Asuman Crystal curiously.
"I'm not sure," Asuman said frankly, "Star people are a complex and changeable race. In order to adapt to the environment, we can semi-actively change our life forms or characteristics. I have been out of the race for too long. And this X star cluster... The environment is very special. Before I know the reason why those dormant spaceships are here, I don't know if they will release those whispers. But one thing I can be sure of is that those whispers come from countless different individuals , very noisy, even if the dormant spaceship is the source of these whispers, it will definitely not be the only source."
"All in all, this star cluster X is full of mysteries, and there are mysterious things everywhere, so be vigilant," Hao Ren shook his head and tapped the control panel lightly, "Today is the first time we have really explored this area, so be careful Nolan, put all the detectors online, adjust the power to the maximum, keep the jump engine half-activated, and warm up the artillery system.
"Nolan understands."
Following the guiding beacon left by the detection drone, the Juguiyantai soon came to the vicinity of the "luminous cloud" closest to the agent's home star.
The black barrier created by space warping faded away as quickly as soap bubbles burst, and the normal starlight was transmitted to the holographic projection of the bridge through the external monitor, and in the center of the projection was the huge glow that could not be ignored by the naked eye anyway. cloud.
Just like the picture sent back by the remote device before, this luminous cloud looks very similar to the original dust cloud in the universe at first glance. Not only does it have a common flat disc shape, but there are countless irregular lines on the edge of the disc, as if Seeing this kind of scene, Hao Ren can only lament that the universe is full of wonders. The people of the starry sky are really a life form that is unimaginable for ordinary races.
Such a huge "interstellar dust cloud"... the main body turned out to be a sleeping citizen of the starry sky.
"Approaching at a low speed." Nolan's voice sounded on the bridge, and the conventional engine of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace was started. This "small boat" with a length of hundreds of meters seemed to have no weight and directly entered the predetermined speed from a static state. , and approached the "cloud" in space with a series of afterimages driven by class coordinates.
It is said to be approaching at a low speed, and this low speed is also compared with the hyperspace transition. Facing a behemoth with a diameter of more than a thousand kilometers, even if the small Giant Turtle Rock rushed past at ten times the speed of sound, it would appear to be in space. As if crawling.
When approaching a certain distance, the data terminal suddenly sounded a reminder: "The drone received the signal at this distance."
Sure enough, as soon as the data terminal finished speaking, the console projection equipment in front of Hao Ren lit up, and Nolan's voice sounded at the same time: "Received a full-band communication from an external source... Decoding is complete, start playing."
"Unauthorized unit approach detected - please submit proof of access permit or identification code.
"Did not receive proof of access permit or identification code, not a member of this fleet.
"Scanning other types of identification signals... Analysis... Determined to be an unidentified unit of the same family. Judging whether it is contaminated.
"No pollution detected, no hostile behavior detected, no target signal retrieved from the attack list, judged to be a neutral unit.
"Issuing a second-level contact permit, compatriots, you can enter the area covered by this unit. Please act carefully, this is currently a war zone."
This is the end of the communication from the external source, and after that there are some fluctuations of unresolvable information, which seem to be some reactions generated inside the luminous cloud, while the previous attack on the detection drone has not yet come.
"It seems that we have passed the test." Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Vivienne with some doubts. "Did the other party mention the 'battle zone' just now?"
"That's right, the war zone was indeed mentioned," Vivian frowned. "That means who is fighting here? And the people of the starry sky are one of the warring parties?"
"I can't see it, these spaceships are in a dormant state, so there is no sign of a war," Hao Ren shook his head, "I can't really talk about the war on the agent's home planet... That war is true for the agent. It's terrible, but it shouldn't be able to make it to the stage in the entire X star cluster."
After confirming that the "identity verification" worked, Nolan carefully started the engine again, flew towards the glowing cloud disk, and took Hao Ren's words while accelerating: "At present, our detection of this star area is very limited. , the power of the divine storm is still interfering with all detection methods, and it is a mess for us outside the range of drone swarms-this 'undetectable zone' is far beyond the range we can currently detect. So even if the X star cluster is deep There is really a war, and we may not be able to observe any phenomena, and the dormant starships we have seen so far cannot explain any problems."
While speaking, the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace had reached the edge of the luminous cloud disk and touched its material boundary. Hao Ren saw that the spaceship was flying under a huge material jet belt, which seemed to be a twisted section. Hanging above like a veil, the upper antenna of the giant turtle rock platform stirred this "veil", bringing up a strange shimmering light, as if a stone was thrown into the lake.
"I feel like I'm getting into the belly of a huge jellyfish," Nolan said about his feelings, "Boss, when will I become so big... Such a big 'spaceship' looks so exciting!"
"Why do you have a problem with the data terminal?" Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Miss Jianniang, "I never heard that a PDA can become a starship main engine when it grows up, and a frigate can become an aircraft carrier when it grows up!"
The data terminal flew up and hit Hao Ren's head: "Just say what you want to do with this machine!"
"He should have been in a deep sleep for a long time, maybe even fell into a deep sleep shortly after the fall of the Goddess of Creation," Asuman sensed the surrounding environment through split crystals, despite the thick armor and armor of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform. Shield, but through the unique senses of the people of the starry sky, he can still clearly "see" and "feel" that he is in the body of a compatriot, and he can also feel some conditions of this compatriot, "the mental power skeleton presents In a state of uniform divergence, all traces of material solidification are quite vague, and I can't perceive orderly thinking... "
Hao Ren asked casually, "What does this mean?"
"This means that we can't wake him up by yelling," Asuman explained in a way that ordinary races can easily understand. I have never seen a dormant state where even the mental skeleton is highly divergent."
Hao Ren was a little worried immediately: "Could it be that he fell asleep?"
Asuman: "...Although it is hibernation, it is not the same concept as sleep in your understanding. And just now we have undergone identity verification before entering here, which shows that the basic functions of this dormant spaceship are still in operation, just The main consciousness is completely asleep."
Hao Ren frowned, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic, because the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace had already entered the interior of the luminous cloud.
After entering the interior of the cloud, he found that the material density of this thing was much higher than expected. At the beginning, he could still vaguely see the starlight outside the cloud on the picture from the external monitor, but soon the picture appeared You can only see "fog" that rolls and flows like a curtain of sand and dust, and the Juguiyantai seems to be moving forward in a large-scale sandstorm, with vast expanse in all directions.
However, soon, something strange appeared in this vast world.
Hao Ren saw something shiny emerging from the light and clouds, drifting and revolving around the Giant Turtle Rock Platform. From those fleeting silhouettes, he seemed to see a crystal-like arc Vaults, flying beams, suspended bridges, and gigantic spiky structures, they seem to have condensed from the fog of light, and then quietly returned to the fog of light.
Vivian also saw the same scene, and immediately asked Asuman: "What is that?"
"This sleeping place has partially 'awakened' due to our visit," Azuman explained, "but this awakening is only limited to a small area and has no connection with the main consciousness of the spacecraft. What we have seen It is like the projection of the past awakened by external stimuli, but this projection can be seen and touched."
"That is to say, if we fly a full circle in this cloud cluster with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers, we can see its whole picture?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Wouldn't we collide with certain structures? ? If a pillar happens to emerge in front of you."
"That won't happen, because we can awaken only a small part, and the awakened things are not real spaceship structures. Although they can be touched, they will shatter and disappear if they are slightly damaged, just like fakes. Therefore Even if it does hit you, it's nothing..."
As if to prove this statement, while Asuman was speaking, an unavoidable crystal pillar really appeared in front of the Giant Turtle Rock—Nolan had no time to react and bumped into it. Hao Ren saw that A pillar smashed into countless crystal clear fragments on the bow of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, and then disappeared into the air without a sound.
"Scare the old lady."
Miss Jianniang said with lingering fear.
