Finally, the Imperial Army reached the finish line.
There was no expected large-scale rebellion, no overwhelming energy beams, and not even a defensive turret. When the jump was completed, we entered an incredibly quiet space soup.
Space soup... This is really a weird term, but when Tavel created this new vocabulary, we found that only it can adapt to the situation in the core of the large nebula, even if it sounds so contradictory.
"The density of space air clouds outside the barrier has already approached the critical point of liquid state, but they still maintain the shape of discrete dust mist, roughly like a gelatin in an evaporating state. These gelatinous substances are purely random atomic crystals. Theoretically The basic substances that can be born can be found from those atoms, but what is puzzling is that these substances have lost all their properties, do not react, do not decay, and do not even generate electromagnetic force or any kind of force between them. Force, it is as if each atom is floating in an independent absolute vacuum, and maintains absolute zero."
Tavel stood behind us, his tone full of confusion.
"A snapshot of the matter in the universe," Shando pulled back the disobedient strands of blond hair, "don't you think it's very similar? All the matter in the universe is gathered here, but they are as quiet as if they were carved in a portrait , the primordial soup of the universe, the core of the big nebula turned out to be something like this."
Regarding the bunch of nouns in Sandora's mouth, my elder sister, my elder sister, and Qianqian all expressed that they were too esoteric to understand, but the wonderful scene around me really made people feel extremely novel.
In the space where the Death Star Fleet is located, there is an endless "dark red fog", and its area is conservatively estimated to be 0.35 light-years away. As Tavel described, these smokes have almost the same texture as ** , but with the lightness of fog, they are full of various strange qualities, such as the elusive non-attenuating transparency. According to common sense, a cloud of smoke with uniform density will affect visibility, and this kind is called space soup. The smog is still so thick, but in fact, when we look into the distance, the huge planetary fortress and the bee-like aircraft carrier battle group are still clearly identifiable. No matter how far away the units are, they all appear exactly the same in our eyes. Clarity, which shows that part of the light has been invalidated here.
A bright energy lightning flashed across the sky of the Admiral of the Empire, illuminating a rather wide area of the sky, and the thick red mist that rolled up shook, spreading out countless ripples. This is a silent thunder, and similar energy lightning can be seen from time to time within the reach of the eye. This is another wonder near the core of the big nebula. These criss-crossing lightnings are erupting anytime and anywhere, but we can't find their source. The energy seems to be generated out of thin air, completely ignoring any known physics. Laws, when they cut through the red mist, they will generate a violent shock wave, which is even enough to make the "space soup" with a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers boil, but there is no sound transmission—in the case of such an abundant medium, light cannot The sound is not transmitted, and God knows how distorted the laws of the universe are in this ghost place.
And, what is the thing that is blocking in front of us.
A barrier blocked the Death Star fleet from moving forward, and now it still stands firmly hundreds of millions of kilometers away, intact and extremely clean, the attacks of the Emperor's Breath and psionic naval guns did not leave any scratches on it , The picture sent back by the front-line detection machine revealed to us the true face of this barrier.
A spherical defensive barrier with a radius of about 60,000 kilometers, the surface is absolutely smooth, like a mirror of a rainbow, the magnificent colors are constantly floating on the smooth spherical surface, like a dream, it is this layer that looks exquisite like a work of art The colorful barrier has already blocked two attacks by the Death Star fleet, one is the extremely close range of the Emperor's Breath, and the other is the concentrated bombing of the entire mobile fleet and a star fortress, but these two attacks have failed to produce any effect , the target still exists, and even the forced blood deduction does not appear.
Tavel has used a special method to prove the shape of this thing, a magnificent film, nothing more, the only thing worthy of attention is that it does not belong to any kind of substance, this film is an absolute unit, it has no The structure is not made up of smaller elementary particles, atoms and molecules. This thin film is its most basic material structure, and its firmness has reached the level of laws.
After confirming the shape of this barrier, Sandora immediately prevented the Death Star Fortress from launching the final attack, and then told me a term very depressed: indestructible structure.
This is one of several legal defense methods that prevailed during the heyday of the empire. Its protective power is not the strongest, but it is widely used in places where various confidential files are kept. Its principle is difficult to explain in words, but everyone It should be understood: In any world, there is a basic structure that cannot be split again.
Is the matter exhausted under the condition of extreme division? This philosophical proposition has troubled generation after generation of white-bearded old men, including Aristotle, Pythagoras and Mozi. These great and painful figures in human history conceived experiments one after another to verify these questions , For example, the Chinese version of the theory holds that if you split a piece of wood with an ax from the middle every day, as long as you are good enough with a knife and have enough patience, you will be able to have countless children and grandchildren, even if the unlucky wood has been split into nano-level by you. thin slices, while the old men of ancient Greece believed that matter is composed of a kind of "small spheres" when it is extremely small. They are the smallest, most basic, and most original material structures in this world, and they are used by God to build this universe. Mortals will never be able to separate them, at most they can separate them—here let us lament the pain of God, his old man, because Genesis is so troublesome, and Ding Dang dared not apply for Creation from the very beginning.
Through the efforts of generations of scientists, scientists of later generations finally proved the above two statements-both are almost nonsense.
Thanks to the continuous development of modern physics, humans have gradually discovered molecules, atoms, neutrons, electrons... Whenever there is a theory pointing out that humans have mastered the most basic bricks and tiles of the world, there will always be new discoveries to prove this. The so-called bricks and tiles are nothing more than prefabricated panels on a smaller scale. Matter is still being divided by humans under ever-increasing microscopic conditions. Up to now, even human scientists have studied the level of neutrinos—now known and The tiniest elementary particle has been measured, but it seems that everything is not over yet. Although more have not been measured yet, the smaller material structure that exists in theory is not far away. Scientists who like to challenge the limit We beckon, human beings have begun to doubt whether matter can really be split indefinitely, although this conjecture cannot be proven at all.
Human scientists may still have a long way to go on the road of dismantling the world, but now they have glimpsed some wonderful scenes on this road. A well-known truth applies to all substances, from the microscopic to the macroscopic, That is, the smaller the elementary particle is, the higher the energy level is required. It can be done by the biceps brachii brachii with the strength needed to break a chopstick, but what is needed to disassemble a carbon atom is a nucleus of hundreds of millions of degrees. High temperature, the process of decomposing protons needs an accelerated orbit enough to circle the Beijing Third Ring Road back and forth three times to gather enough energy to feed 100,000 video game houses for bombardment, and to perform surgery on elementary particles below neutrinos, At present, it is believed that at least the energy of the initial stage of the Big Bang is needed to achieve this. This is the true meaning of matter and the ferocity of the microcosm. Their indestructible structures gradually approach invincibility as they approach the source. After the basic elements—the fuzzy state between matter and energy and information—these little things are immune to all foreign factors that are not laws.
In Ding Dong's collection of books, "Introduction to Basic Creation - Theology Edition" Chapter 3, Section 7, Paragraph 7 spent most of the class hour instilling this iron law to the rookie creator gods:
Unless you think that your creation skills have surpassed God the Father, just honestly follow this material classification method to create the world!
Therefore, looking around, the microscopic world in the multiverse is uniformly mighty and domineering.
The "indestructible structure" is something created by Xiling scientists based on such a basic law that even the gods must abide by. It does not have any structure in various senses, because... this thing is the basic structure.
Although this thing has come from the microcosm to the macrocosm under the research of those murderous imperial scientists, and their volume can expand to a few tenths of a light-year at most, it is still the simplest, the most perfect, and the purest "absolute basic" Particle, an absolute "one". This is a pure structure that cannot be further divided, and you will not find any traces of connection and fusion on it, which is the best interpretation of seamlessness. And it is easy to draw a conclusion that something without structure cannot be cut.
Because it can no longer be disassembled, the surface of the "indestructible structure" is "complete" in an absolute sense, and there is no structural condition for it to be disassembled. We may be able to easily split a piece of carbon crystal, because even No matter how pure and hard a carbon crystal is, it is also composed of countless atoms. It also has a structural form that can be cut, and if a carbon atom is placed in front of you, then unfortunately, you only need to cut it. You can apply for a saturation nuclear strike—and it may not work. As for the magnificent structure with a radius of about 60,000 kilometers in front of us, what you need may be a big bang.
"The law-level defense system, the gap between the law and the non-law is so big, I didn't expect them to even use this thing."
Sandora said with a sigh.
"Hey, since there are such nb shields, why are those rebel fleets fighting with us for hours?" Lilina curled her lips angrily, "There are so many undead that need to be appeased, the priestess of nv There is a lot of business too.”
"Because although the imperial army can't break through this barrier, there is still the threat of destroying it and the core of the large nebula. Sandora's face is depressed, "'Indestructible structure' is definitely not an invincible shield, and' Parsec 'Compared to this kind of invincibility in the true sense, the former is just a super strong wall, and it can collapse if it is a wall, but it needs enough external force, and the supernova burst attack of the psionic death star should be enough to reach this threshold After all, it is called the ultimate weapon of the Imperial Army now, and its power cannot be underestimated... Ah Jun, don't be happy, this is the troublesome part, and it is also the reason why I prevented you from launching a supernova burst attack just now. Since it belongs to elementary particles that can no longer be disassembled, this barrier will only have two states after activation. The first is the current complete state. 'Volatilization' from the material world, this process is similar to nuclear annihilation, but the energy produced is even more astonishing, it will destroy 100% of the secrets protected inside, this is an ultimate self-destruct safe, without a password In some cases, either it cannot be opened, or the baby inside is blown into ashes—you can think of it as a switch with only two states of '0' and '1', generally, it is stored in The things in this structure are extremely confidential information, and when they may be stolen by others, their depositors will even destroy them. "
I want to scold people now, do you believe me
You said that it is not good for the people of Xiling to study something normally. You are not afraid of digging the world down one day, right
I understand what Sandora means, that is, the barrier that blocks us now, although it is extremely strong, can still be broken if the psionic death star attacks with all its strength, but the result is that everything inside it will be destroyed together. Destroyed, Sylvia is still inside, which makes us beware.
"Eh... In that case, how did Sylvia get in?"
"I don't know," Sandora shook her head in frustration. "It's only now that I realize that we know so little about Sylvia. No one cares about what she usually does..."
"Wait, Jun," my elder sister suddenly remembered something, "could it be related to the mysterious summon that Sylvia received that night?"
Mysterious call... With the reminder of my sister, I finally connected the events of that night, so I hurriedly told Sando about the fact that Sylvia was attracted by the core of the big nebula and ran out in the middle of the night to go to outer space La, the latter thought for a while, and said decisively: "It is very likely... where are the ravens? Call all the raven troops on board."
There are more than a thousand ravens on duty on the Admiral Empire, all of whom are officer-level elites among the lower-ranking ravens. Under Sandora's personal convening, they gathered in front of us at a very fast speed. Go to more than a thousand silver-haired men, ready to go in front of them.
"Can you feel the position of the mother's body?"
"I can't perceive it, the mother body has actively covered her own energy," Raven 001, the leader of the Raven Legion who has been promoted to a senior commander, replied immediately.
"Then, the last soul backup left by Sylvia before leaving should be recorded in your place?"
The leader of the ravens, with a slow face but not slow at all, nodded.
Sandora pointed at the magnificent barrier that was hidden behind the dense fog of hundreds of millions of kilometers but was still clearly discernible: "Lead your people there, I think you will naturally know what to do when you get there."
A hint of confusion flashed across the eyes of the leader of the ravens, but he still accepted the task without hesitation. He led thousands of arcane masters who were very gray-headed and disappeared before our eyes in an instant, using space magic directly for hundreds of millions of kilometers. Teleported over, they really have no limit to blue.
"Then what?"
I looked at Sandora in confusion. When she assigned tasks, she didn't understand clearly. It was even more impossible for me to guess what this girl was thinking. Forgive me for my mortal IQ.
"Wait," Sandora exhaled, "An indestructible structure is used as a safe, of course there must be a way for its creator to open it, Sylvia... No, Bella Villa is good at mysterious energy control, which means that this structure can be temporarily closed by something like arcane magic. Raven, as its mass-produced copy, will always record a snapshot of Sylvia's soul. By using the energy fluctuations of magic, the raven can use the recorded Sylvia's soul fluctuations to reproduce that magic without knowing its principle—after all, the magic used by the Raven King is far beyond that of ordinary ravens. comprehensible range."
"Look over there!" As soon as Sandora finished speaking, Qianqian had spotted something sharp-eyed, and immediately grabbed my sleeve and shook it violently, "There's a flash over there! It's a flash!"
I looked in the direction of her finger, just in time to see that damn structure flickering again, the magnificent surface floating with large swathes of color was like a badly connected neon light, flickering on and off, and finally, finally completely dimmed When it got down, the beautiful color disappeared, and it turned into a gray-white ball with a radius of 60,000 kilometers, covered with bright yellow grids.
The ravens did it!
The radius of the core ruins of the Great Nebula is only 60,000 kilometers. Of course, it is impossible for the Death Star fleet to enter, and if there are super defense forces inside, sending a few Eternal-class motherships to accompany it will not be of much use. Of course, at this time, a few The leader went out, and after a little discussion, Sandora, Qianqian, Pandora sisters, and myself, a group of five people became the action team this time (Ding Dong, who had become a non-combat pet, and Ah, who was in the expansion package) Reyer naturally followed, but theoretically I don’t think they can be considered members of the team except when they are cute... ), and the elder sister has to stay on the spaceship to watch Lilina and Mercury Lamp and others who may fight at any time All kinds of troublesome little guys, such as the group of three-headed people who have to go there with their elder brothers.
Please, looking at the Titan Mercury Lamp, which stands more than 100 meters above the sky, is regarded as a carrier carrier, with hundreds of three-headed mercury lamps drilled in the folds of its body, and it looks like it is going to carry out the Mercury Lamp Lowering Operation Plan, I estimate that Sometimes, except for the ability to complain, I will lose all my combat power!
Oh, by the way, besides our five fighting professions, we have to count an additional person—the glasses girl Tavel, who has been stimulated by the possible treasures of knowledge in the ruins. Lilina is even more fanatical. I can't refuse the pure enthusiasm of a seeker who is eager for knowledge—this is nonsense. In fact, I can't bear the seriousness of Tavel's face of "If you don't promise me again, I will promise you on the spot" The facial expression, although the specific content may be suspected of imagining, but my intuition tells me that if I don't agree with this research madman, the other party may cry, make trouble and hang himself on the spot.
Considering that a knowledgeable researcher like Tavel might be helpful to explore an ancient Xiling ruins in depth, and her quality projection state is not afraid of death, so we agreed to let her accompany her.
"You bastard, you are really stupid to take risks by yourself again." When the mercury lamp was lifted from his shoulders and placed on the ground, the little puppet was obviously worried but still stiff-mouthed, "Don't die in it, or you will die later." Sometimes it will be troublesome to remember your name."
... What a bold farewell speech. As soon as he finished saying this, Mercury Lamp was dragged away by his elder sister for training.
Lilina's farewell words were even more ferocious, and I didn't remember them for three seconds: "Remember that the goddess is in your left pocket, and you must use it in time if you are in danger!"
It feels as if the wife seriously told the careless husband before leaving, "Put the cold in the inner compartment of the suitcase and remember to eat it before going to bed, you bastard!
When Ding Dong heard Lilina's words, he got out of my pocket with a curious expression on his face, and then with a cheerful and smirk, he flew to the right pocket like a mischievous person, and slipped into it with a snort.
"Ah, Boss, it's on the right side now, remember to use it in time... Ahh~!"
"Okay, let's just say a few words without a handle. No matter how dangerous it is, can it still hurt me? At worst, I will transform into a void." I gave Lilina a hard head, and then said confidently Standing up, I waved goodbye to the three-headed body full of decks, "Don't worry, everyone, I will be safe... ummmm..."
Sandora covered my mouth and kept dragging back: "Even I know this sentence can't be said!" A
