Red Moon... No, it should be called Blue Moon now.
The mysterious blue light fills the space between the heaven and the earth, making this desolate and dead world seem to be thrown into a cold tomb. The blue light curtains around me suddenly have a very strange association. This world is like a morgue. .
Shaking my head and putting this strange thought to the back of my mind, I smiled soothingly at Tohsaka and Ilya who were running towards us in a panic.
"It's okay, a little celestial body anomaly, it seems that I have something to do."
"Big brother, is that moon going to explode?" Ilya said in shock, peeking at the huge moon in the sky that has turned dark blue and is constantly expanding and shrinking in the range visible to the naked eye. The soldiers are very nervous."
"Don't worry, the Imperial Fleet will take care of everything. We have fought the galaxy destruction war before." I pressed Ilya's head lightly, um, it feels really good, "Tohsaka, don't run around for now, I The scientists are analyzing the situation... Tavel, is the result out?"
"As you wish, my majesty," in such a strange and critical situation, Tavier could still have a bright smile on his face that only a research madman can show when facing precious specimens, "It's psionic energy, it really is psionic energy is huge There is an unprecedented energy reaction on the surface of the moon, Your Majesty, look at this, here are the radiation readings from the transition from a red moon to a blue moon in the last few minutes—”
Tavel said, moving a floating information window in front of me.
"Wow, uncle alien, can you even understand this?" Tohsaka was immediately surprised.
My nostrils turned up like a cowhide: "Hmph, as the head of state, I just need to issue orders. These technical things..."
"It seems that the energy waveform has undergone a chain reversal," Sandora nodded repeatedly looking at the complicated data chart, "The sea of unknown energy on the surface of the red moon has become a sea of phantom energy."
Baby, are you comparing me
Ignoring Tohsaka's sudden strange expression and Ilya's impolite behavior of holding back a laugh like that little animal, I coughed twice and said with a serious expression, "What do you mean?"
Sandora rolled her eyes: "That is to say, the original red energy sea on the surface of the red moon just had a chain reaction and turned into pure high-concentration psionic energy."
"And the energy intensity is amazing," Tavel added, "The high concentration of psionic energy almost forms a plasma-like state, and the current surface of the giant moon is like a star that is reacting crazily. Of course, if it is psionic energy, then It will be even more terrifying than the energy on the surface of a star, but due to the shackles of the giant moon itself, these energies basically cannot escape from the surface of the star, but only the energy leaked out, the intensity of each flame is no less than that of a battleship With the full blast of the main cannon, one of our two detection spacecraft crashed and the other was seriously injured under the attack of these psionic 'cannon fire'."
"What's the reason?" I looked up at the huge moon that had turned dark blue. The boiling energy storm on its surface was faintly visible on the ground. It looked like dirty woolen material. The entire "moon" covered It covers almost half of the sky, and its edges are constantly shaking and stretching due to various atmospheric refraction phenomena. At first glance, it really looks like what Ilya was worried about: it won't explode, right
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty," Tavel said with an embarrassed look on his face, "We still don't know anything, the energy intensity on its surface is too amazing, and the density is extremely high, the energy restraint system inside the giant moon will The energy is solidified on its surface, causing every inch of the body's shell to burn with psionic energy equivalent to the barrel of a battleship's main gun. The interference formed has far exceeded the filtering capabilities of our existing analysis equipment. Shadow City's The mainframe arrays are already wired, but their algorithms are also having difficulty."
I know that Tavel's words are not refusals. As a serious and dedicated scientific researcher, even she can say "difficulties", which shows how troublesome the "moon" is.
What I am most curious about now is, what is that thing hanging in the sky doing
arms? spaceship? base? Or something else
In the past, the technology of the Xiling Empire was at its peak. They could create almost anything, but what is a celestial body that is the size of a small planet and formed entirely of super-intensive energy
"Could it be just an energy reactor?" Even Sandora was at a loss, but she still expressed her conjecture, "Although I have never heard of such a psionic reaction device in the empire. , but that thing looks too much like an energy furnace now, and, it seems that it is not very stable... "
I don't know if it was the effect of the crow's mouth, but as soon as Shandora finished speaking, the blue moon actually exploded.
The blue moonlight in the sky suddenly became several times stronger, and the whole world almost turned blue-white. At the same time, a light blue energy shield descended from the sky, covering the entire outpost and even the ten kilometers behind the outpost. The long Hyperion was protected together. Looking up, what caught our eyes was a fusiform battleship that was comparable in size to the Hyperion, but far more pleasing in shape than the former. It can be seen from the precise surface and the powerful energy shield that the rough and cumbersome Hyperion is not a technical thing at all.
It is a scientific research ship from the Empire, transformed from an expedition-class warship.
That was the spacecraft that Tavel brought over a few hours ago. When the latter was busy adjusting the sensors on the ground, it had been hovering in low-Earth orbit as an information platform between the Red Moon Exploration Ship and the ground station. When the outbreak started, the ship reacted in time, leaping over time and space to build an energy shield over us.
At the same time, the ear-piercing siren also resounded through the garrison: "Serious warning, serious warning, the highest level psionic energy was detected, it was determined to be an attack of the main gun level of the imperial cruiser, and it was determined to be an attack of the main gun level of the imperial cruiser. All personnel entered the combat position..."
There was a "bang" gunshot, and I followed the sound, and I saw Tex not far away shot down the big horn that was hanging on the flagpole to sound the alarm.
"Boss, if possible, I really hope you can help us improve the artificial intelligence technology. This idiot-like automatic alarm system is simply stupider than Megatron."
He's still bothering to find that hapless alarm - and can anyone explain Megatron's IQ problem to me
Outside of the energy shield, the earth has already turned into a purgatory. The blue-white light falling from the sky looks magnificent, but it contains the energy to destroy everything. The rocks and land as far as the eye can see melted one after another, and even directly turned into steam. Melting at an astonishing speed, just like ice cubes placed on a red-hot iron plate, the gravitational force is obviously out of balance, and large groups of molten rocks break away from the ground and rush towards the giant blue and white moon in the sky. , Although protected by the shield of the spaceship, the ground under our feet is still shaking violently, which shows that the entire geological structure is on the verge of collapse under the irradiation of this huge amount of psionic energy.
And such a bad situation immediately caught the attention of Renault and Tex, and they reacted almost instantly: Even with the protection of the imperial warship, this place is almost finished
"Quickly abandon the outpost blockhouse and transform the siege tank, bring the nearest marines back, the ground is going to melt, little bastards, run up!" Tex stood in the chaotic open space of the outpost due to landslides and ground cracks, and loudly assisted Renault commanded the soldiers to retreat, "Go back to the mothership, move faster, move faster, move faster, the empire has only one scientific research ship, and the time it buys for us is limited, if you don't want to be turned into ashes in this ghost place, run fast point"
Although the words were a bit rude, Tex's command was very effective. Under the double threat of the earth and mountains outside the shield instantly melting into a torrent of magma and the shield above the head constantly bursting out with energy sparks, the marines broke out. Liu Xiang has the same potential. Wearing several tons of power armor, he can not only walk like flying, but also climb and jump. Facing the ammunition boxes or armor plates lying in front of him, some of them take off with two legs on the spot, and some do back jumps from one side Yes, there are those who take off and step to do hurdle jumps, and those who hold hands and do wing-to-wing jumps...
Are the instructors of these marines all imperial soldiers
The energy burst of the blue moon has reached its peak, which is equivalent to the energy torrent continuously irradiated by the main gun of a battleship. Even if it is launched at a distance as far as the moon orbit, it is enough to evaporate a layer of the earth's crust. A mere scientific research ship, even if it is the chief researcher's " It is impossible to be indestructible under the energy bombardment of this scale. Fortunately, Renault's soldiers moved extremely fast. Before the shields of the scientific research ship were exhausted, all personnel had returned to the Hyperion and the Imperial Scientific Research Ship respectively. On the boat, and then completed the leap against the energy storm.
A minute later, in the back of the world earth.
"Wow, wow, wow~~ What a beautiful spaceship wow"
Ilya's continuous exclamations echoed on the bridge. Perhaps she had never cherished her own life since she was a child. The thrilling experience just now did not scare her at all, but it was Tohsaka who was leaning against her with a pale face at the moment. Sitting in the seat, panting.
"Uncle Alien, seriously, being with you is horrible..."
"Little girl, it seems that you are just a commoner." Tavel turned his head slightly to look at the strange girl. "This kind of thing is not even a little spark compared to the war that His Majesty once led."
"Ah—" Tohsaka was taken aback, and it took him a long time to react. He looked at me and Sandora with starry eyes, "It's so powerful...so I thought the so-called Holy Grail War I experienced was very...look It’s really nothing to you.”
Get serious with guys who are out of spec and you lose.
"Take over the image from outside." Feeling that the vibration of the spaceship had gradually calmed down, I knocked on the armrest of the seat and ordered to the operator in the control hall below.
According to the conventional design of imperial warships, above the command hall is the officer's platform, and in front of the platform is a large-scale holographic projection system. Ilya finally returned to her seat obediently.
The position we are in now is the back side of the "earth". In this position, a small part of it is on the sunny side, and the earth in front of us presents a deep black red color, even though one-third of it is under the sun's rays, There is always a sense of dilapidated grayness. The surface of the star that has been ravaged by the red moon is covered with faintly visible cracks, just like an ancient clay bottle. On the edge of the dark side of the planet, near the horizon, dazzling The blue-white band of light is constantly shining, giving people the illusion that there is another round of sun rising there.
"The energy explosion of the giant moon has reached its peak, and now one-third of the shadow earth's crust has been exposed to its light. It is estimated that in ten minutes, that part of the earth's crust will be in a semi-melted state, and the appearance of the shadow earth will be changed forever— If it still exists in the future," Tavel quickly reported to us the latest developments of the blue moon, "this kind of destruction has been analyzed and confirmed, it is not a dedicated attack on the star, it should only be a leak caused by the energy imbalance of the giant moon itself , In other words, what we are seeing at present is only the aftermath of the giant moon's eruption."
"How big is the energy intensity of that thing?" I asked the question that I am most concerned about now, even if I don't understand those professional things, a planet that is completely composed of psionic energy and whose volume is several times larger than the moon , I can still imagine the degree of threat.
"The energy intensity per unit area far exceeds that of the sun's surface. The total energy cannot be calculated, but it must exceed any energy furnace that we can currently manufacture." Tavel's tone is very serious. "Although it cannot be measured, it is the most conservative estimate. After removing the control devices that may exist in its core, at least two-thirds of the giant moon itself is a thick nether energy sea, and its energy source is very likely to be a device such as the endless nether energy abyss, even if its volume It is only one tens of millions of the sun, and once it erupts, its power will surpass that of the sun, but the current giant moon still maintains a fragile balance, and some kind of energy stabilization device in its body prevents these energies from overflowing. But as you can see, the mechanism is actually broken and the giant moon has started leaking—theoretically."
Whenever Tawil declares "theoretically so," it means that, in fact, it is so.
"That is to say, once that energy source explodes, the inner world will be wiped out under the energy storm far surpassing the explosion of a supernova," Sandora narrowed her eyes slightly, "If the giant moon is the control core of this out-of-control shadow space, then What comes is the simultaneous collapse of the shadow space—Tavier, if the shadow space of this scale collapses, what is the probability that the fragments will be connected to the real world?"
"More than fifty percent."
"There is a half chance that the world will end," Sandora frowned, "I don't like playing dice, Jun, we have to find a way to stop that celestial body."
I think so too, but the problem is now we can't even get close to it
Every square inch of the surface has the energy intensity equivalent to the main gun of a battleship. To force a landing under such terrifying radiation, I am afraid that even the Eternal class or even the Glory starship will have to be burned through. After all, it is psionic energy. ah
Although I couldn't understand what we were talking about, the horror scene of the entire planet slowly deforming in the blue flames and the "end of the world" mentioned by Sandora just now were really in front of my eyes. Some Ilyas who lacked common sense were pale, not to mention Tohsaka's expression.
"Maybe it's not impossible to land at all," Tavel hesitated, and then said carefully, "According to my subordinates' conjecture, the energy riot of the giant moon has a certain period. Its normal state is a red moon, and the reversed psionic energy on the surface Although it is powerful, it is relatively stable, and the range of harmful radiation is only a thousand kilometers. Beyond this distance, even the spaceships of the New Eden Federation can be safe and sound. In the blue moon state, the energy on its surface is activated into psionic energy, even if it does not explode. We can't get close at all, but the duration of this state should not be long... According to my inference, it should return to a red moon after a day, and at that time... "
Sandora raised her eyes: "You mean to land when the giant moon is red—but you said it yourself, at that time it only restrained energy within a thousand kilometers of the surface. Within a distance, our landing craft is still inaccessible."
"No, it's not completely impossible to get close... In theory..." Tavel said cautiously, and then sneaked a glance at me.
"I can get close," I understood, "as long as I'm not in a rampant blue moon state, I can enter its interior."
With a crisp sound of metal breaking, Sandora crushed the superalloy armrest of the seat into powder, and then looked at Tavel with a sharp gaze: "You actually proposed to let Ah Jun enter a runaway room alone?" Energy furnace?"
"This is just a theoretically feasible plan." Tavier immediately became nervous, but she knew very well what kind of actions Her Majesty the Queen in front of her would make if she proposed such a plan.
"This plan alone should throw you in the furnace"
"Sandora," I suddenly pressed the shoulder of the girl next to me, calming down the already angry girl, "You have to admit, this is the only feasible way, and it just sounds dangerous. It’s nothing, let alone a small psionic reactor.”
"But that's different." Sandora's tone didn't leave any room for ambiguity, "Ah Jun, I know your ability is very strong, but it has a limit. What if it suddenly explodes when you go deep into the heart of the moon? The energy of the moon is far stronger than what we see now, it just didn’t erupt due to the internal restraint, once such a psionic celestial body collapses, the energy storm formed can even tear apart the energy storm with the intensity of the void, Can you be safe and sound? And what you said just now admitted that in the blue moon state, even your ability can't penetrate that layer of astral shell... "
Sandora spoke hurriedly, but I just responded with a smile.
"It's okay, I'll go in with Jingdong."
Then Sandora was stunned.
"Okay, Jun, you win." V
