Chapter 653: Calibration star

Doudou sat on Sha Mao's head and waved her little arms to say goodbye to her father. The little guy has now understood the reason why Hao Ren and the other adults in the family often travel far away. Coupled with her rapidly growing mind, she is no longer as self-willed and clingy as before. The little guy also knows when necessary. Honestly stayed at home. And as long as someone can watch over her and don't let her die, Hao Ren can safely let this little one stay at home.

The cat girl carefully put her head against her fish master, smacked her lips to recall the smell of May's tail, and then meowed to Hao Ren and the others who stepped into the teleportation beam as farewell.

When the teleportation light flashed past, Hao Ren had already led the others to stand in the hinterland of the dark snowfield.

A large lavender space crack stood in the air, and near the space crack were several silvery-white devices emitting a faint light, and around these devices was a ring of light beam generators and warning devices that illuminated the surrounding snow.

Nothing else.

"I think that instead of building a Frost Town in other places in the snow field, you might as well decorate the area around this space crack, not to mention building a fortress, at least get a shed to shelter from the wind and snow," Vivienne stomped. The snowflakes that just got on the boots shook off, "Alamanda on the opposite side is almost developing into the Capital Airport, and the portal at this end is still like a bicycle shed."

The strange cold air unique to the dark snowfield came from all directions, and the three sirens including the Siren Queen were suddenly shivering from the cold. These three were not as accustomed to human form as Nangong Wuyue. When they came, they were all in the posture of sea snakes. At that time, the tails of the snakes of the three were covered with a thin layer of ice, and they would rattle and rattle when they moved slightly. Shaqila folded her shoulders and looked around: "Where is this place? I feel that the water elements here... are strange and difficult to control, and the cold air they carry is colder than ordinary ice and snow."

"This is the entrance to the dream plane," Hao Ren pointed at the space crack, "and this is the buffer zone between the real world and the dream plane, everything here has been distorted by the breath of the alien world After that, of course it will be a little weird."

The Siren Queen bent her tail into a question mark: "Are we going to our hometown through this crack?"

"No. You still need to calculate coordinates, detect, navigate, and troubleshoot hidden dangers—this is an expedition. Although it is your hometown, I don't believe how safe it is," Hao Ren shrugged, and took the lead to step across the space crack, " Let’s get acquainted in the past.”

Everyone followed Hao Ren through the gate. A scene completely different from the dark snowfield suddenly appeared before their eyes.

This is a brand new silver hall.

The space crack is located in the center of the hall, and the lavender light shines on the surrounding range of more than ten meters, while at the edge of the hall is a ring-shaped wall surrounded by natural silver-white metal. The wall is more than ten meters high, and gradually closes in an arc at high altitude, and above it is a translucent light blue energy barrier, through which you can directly see the clear sky outside. The hall has a gorgeous golden floor, which is the only original structure of this teleportation station—the plaza floor of the city of Alamanda.

Some advanced equipment that has just been installed is distributed on one side of the hall, and several autonomous machines are flying around there to adjust the equipment, and one of the autonomous machines senses the return of the master. A series of gurgling sounds greeted them and reported the progress of the work. Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the mechanical squid: "The progress of the project is good. It seems that the transmission station has been completed... oh. The nearby radio tower has also been completed?"

After seeing this thing, the Siren Queen immediately "hissed" and withdrew several meters back, her face full of vigilance: "What is this thing?!"

"My worker... Katrina. You don't have to be so nervous," Hao Ren couldn't help laughing when he saw the Siren Queen's reaction, "They are very kind guys, they are just working here. This teleportation station It was a ruin before, if they had not been busy for so long, you would not even be able to breathe the air of the earth when you come here today."

The Siren Queen regained her reserve, but still kept her distance vigilantly: "I just have a psychological shadow on the tentacles... especially the ones that swing around under a big head."

Lily was surprised: "Then when you become a king squid, don't you have no psychological shadow?"

The Siren Queen froze for a moment, and a burst of depression suddenly came to her heart: "My God, I have lost a possibility in my life forever..."

Vivian was stunned: "It seems that this psychological shadow is quite serious."

Hao Ren looked around. I always felt like I had forgotten something, and after thinking for a long time, I suddenly realized: "I'm going! I forgot to notify Betsy! Wait a minute—"

Hao Ren quickly switched on the communicator as he spoke. In order to keep informed about Holletta's situation at any time. He asked Becky to also carry a communicator with him, so after calling a few times this time, he heard Becky's lazy voice: "Huh? Landlord?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Me? I'm here to participate in an event. This is a first-person bragging. What's the matter, landlord?"

"Important thing," Hao Ren said quickly, "Have you caught the brain monster?"

"Not yet," Betsy's voice suddenly became serious, "what's the matter?"

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell Ophra, don't startle the snake after you find the clue, let alone lead someone to catch it yourself! The body of that thing has overwhelming spiritual power against mortals, and it needs special means to seal it. Let me know the location of the monster immediately, understand?"

Becky quickly agreed: "I got it—by the way, what are you doing now, landlord?"

Hao Ren sighed, "I'm about to fry something."

Becky's voice suddenly became happy: "Fried things?! Hey, I like this! Meatballs or steaks? Can you give me some after frying?"

Hao Ren almost choked out lung bleeding: "Four times!"

Becky: "... Is your life still so turbulent, Landlord?"

After hanging up the call, Hao Ren curled his lips: "Betsy... let's go, our time is precious."

He released the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace from the portable space, led everyone aboard the spaceship, and then directly passed through the transparent barrier above the Alamanda teleportation station and ascended into the sky. The golden waste below can be seen as the spaceship rises. From the screen from the external monitor, it can be seen that there are busy scenes of construction everywhere in the city, and there are several silver-white buildings outside the towering city walls. The minaret device has started to operate. The engineering plans left by Hao Ren at that time have been efficiently implemented. The autonomous machinery and construction equipment have been working day and night. Now this planet is already developing towards a real stronghold fortress.

The Siren Queen and her two servants looked at everything in front of them in amazement on the bridge. From the holographic projection screen, they realized that they were in the ruins of another race's civilization, and this ruins were being transformed into a large-scale fortress. Shaqila couldn't help looking at Hao Ren: "What kind of place is this?"

"Tanagus, another civilization that was destroyed. They were more unlucky than you-they failed to launch the exile spacecraft when the disaster struck, and the self-rescue technology they chose failed, so they became extinct. All that's left is a hollow echo. The steeples are canceling that echo, but that's of little concern to you."

Shakira poked the spaceship seat in front of her with the tip of her tail: "Do you know what happened in this universe?"

"Know."

"Then... what are you doing?" Shaqila finally couldn't hold back, "Of course you don't have to answer, I just can't control my curiosity. The actions of your group of people have completely surpassed any human and alien species. .”

The spaceship gradually left the atmosphere, and Tanagus' pale gold and gray-green mixed planetary surface gradually moved away from the external monitor. The glow of the crystal nucleus research station was rising from the other side of the horizon, like a mercury moon. Hao Ren looked at the magnificent scenery in space, and called up the star map casually: "This is a long story, let's talk slowly on the road. Terminal, start calculating the star map."

Although the star map stored in the Nasathorn database is reliable, it does not meet the specifications for space-level voyages. The sea monsters back then did not reach the technical level of sailing to any point in the universe at will, so their star map can only mark the range they can explore as much as possible-compared with the entire space, it is just a boat in the blue ocean.

Marking the position of a star in the universe is a complicated subject. You can use several supernovae to form a line to represent the position of a certain star, and you can also detect enough stars to establish a complex three-dimensional coordinate system. But you are facing a problem anyway: the universe is too vast, and it is changing every moment. Stars are constantly moving, dying, and any star map coordinates will become less and less accurate as time goes on. The Xiling Pantheon scans snapshots of the entire universe through things like the Sovereign Hub, so they don’t have to worry about this, but ordinary races can’t do it, they have to find a way to counteract this “star map shift”, and one of the ways is to draw Create as wide a range of star fields as possible: enough celestial bodies and a large enough star map span allow them to have more spare connections to determine the position of a star.

However, Siren's star map is a primary star map, perhaps not so accurate at the beginning, after 10,000 years, its accuracy has been greatly reduced, so it is necessary for the data terminal to recalibrate the starlight, and the current real The universe overlaps with what is recorded on the star map, so that Io's location can be determined.
