Chapter 1576 Deep
The spacecraft moved silently through this strange and mysterious cloud.
Just like Asuman said, the intrusion of the "visitor" partially awakened this ancient star citizen who had been sleeping for thousands or even ten thousand years. Although the latter's main consciousness still showed no signs of awakening, it was partially The reinvention of information is still happening. On the screen transmitted back by the external monitor, the shimmering clouds and mist are constantly rolling and circling, and from time to time some incredible things will appear in the clouds and mist. Sometimes it is a curved arch beam, sometimes it is a crystal cluster. , but more often than not, what emerges is just an indistinguishable crystal cross-section.
Those crystal cross sections are not the true form of any part of this "Star Citizen Spaceship", but the projection it produces in certain special dimensions. The partial awakening makes these "silhouettes" that should not appear in the three-dimensional space emerge. Forming various bizarre scenes.
"We are going to the center of the cloud," the Asuman Crystal floated next to Hao Ren and said slowly, "There may be some more critical structures there, and there may be a chance to awaken this ancient warrior."
Vivian glanced at the crystal: "It sounds like you're not sure either?"
"I'm sorry, but it is true," Asuman said calmly, "I have never seen a Star Citizen spacecraft with this structure. It must have been created after I entered the world of Koro. This spacecraft adopts A structure that has never been seen in the ancient era... But according to experience, the core area of clouds and mist is always where the thinking crystal is, and it is always right to move in that direction."
"I hope your judgment is accurate." Hao Ren nodded, and then ordered Nolan to speed up slightly and fly towards the center of the cloud.
Those crystal structures that constantly emerged from the light and clouds were left behind by Nolan. After confirming that they were just fragile "fake" and would have no impact even if they were smashed, Miss Ship Girl became significantly bolder. , she no longer dodges anything that suddenly appears in front of her, and flies almost in a straight line to her destination.
The length of the giant turtle rock platform is only a few hundred meters, but the range of the entire luminous cloud reaches thousands of kilometers. When the former travels through the latter's body, it is as inconspicuous as a small insect. Hao Ren can even imagine himself inside The "Star Citizen Spaceship" here has hundreds of meters of wide corridors and cabins, and his review officer's ship is flying between these magnificent corridors - but now all corridors and cabins are blocked. Just hidden in the mist and light.
Although it is difficult to distinguish the front, rear, left, right, and any direction in the light haze, it can be judged from the data transmitted by the detector that the Giant Turtle Yantai has gradually arrived at the center of this energy structure.
The things emerging from the surrounding light and mist have also changed somewhat, which seems to indicate that this place is very close to a special place.
Those broken crystal clusters and discontinuous crystal cross-sections are no longer visible at all. They are replaced by more and more complete and clear crystal structures. Sometimes there are even continuous crystal corridors and large tracts hundreds of meters long. The magnificent domes, although they still show uneven cross-sections at the edges, there is no doubt that the scale and completeness of these emerging structures far exceed those "debris" on the edges.
"Relatively complete mapping, it seems that the core area does store more important and stable information," a voice devoid of emotional fluctuations came from the Asuman crystal, "But I still haven't sensed the main consciousness of this compatriot... or even It’s so weird that I can’t feel any life at all.”
"So I really didn't sleep to death..." Hao Ren was pinched by Vivian mid-sentence, and he quickly stopped his big mouth that was not easy to control, "Ahem, I mean this dormant spaceship is really Are you still 'alive'?"
"Definitely still alive, as evidenced by the partially awakened scenes we saw along the way," Asuman immediately replied, "It's just... I don't know why, a lot of the energy of this starship has disappeared. Even the part of the spiritual energy originally used to maintain the stability of the core area has disappeared, as if it had been extracted and transported to some bottomless abyss."
"Energy is lost?" Vivian's expression became serious. "This is not a good sign... If these starships are guards left by the goddess of creation, then their energy loss is definitely bad news."
Hao Ren comforted Vivian: "At least the divine blockade that permeated the X star cluster is still operating, which means that the entire defense system is not offline. No matter what is locked or protected here, it should still be safe. state."
As he spoke, the speed of the Giant Turtle Yantai had gradually slowed down, and more crystal structures emerged in the light mist outside the spacecraft. These "fake" objects with entities were so complete and real that even those that were nowhere to be seen The absent light mist seemed to have mostly dissipated.
Nolan slowed down to zero in front of a magnificent crystal barrier: "Boss, you can't get in from the front. Do you want to open a passage?"
As he spoke, the two secondary guns at the front of the Giant Turtle Yantai had poked their heads out from under the armor plate, aiming at the seemingly thick crystal barrier in front.
"You will penetrate this place directly," Hao Ren immediately stopped Miss Shipian, and then looked at each other with Vivian, "It looks like we have to go down."
"I'm with you," the Asuman Crystal also floated, "I'm more familiar with the operating mechanism of the Star Citizen spacecraft than you are."
The circle on the Asuman crystal was to make it easier for him to follow, so Hao Ren nodded in agreement, and then waved to the table next to him, where Doudou was holding a few Lego bricks and building them together. He immediately threw the toy away and jumped into his father's arms with ease.
Two people, a fish and a crystal prism with a ring, such a completely weird combination left the Giant Turtle Rock Platform and entered the strange space filled with shimmering light outside.
There is no gravity and no air, but there is a faint shimmer everywhere covering the entire space. The advantage of this is that you can see the surrounding situation clearly without any lighting equipment. Hao Ren came to the crystal barrier that extended to the depths of the light mist, stretched out his hand to gently touch and feel its texture: this was the first time he had truly touched these crystals emerging from the light mist with his own hands. The structure and the tactile feedback made him confirm the physical nature of this thing.
This is a very hard material. Although the spacecraft can easily turn it into dust when it hits it, Hao Ren confirmed by feeling that it should be as solid as granite - only compared to the structure of a real starship. Up, even something as solid as granite can only be described as fragile.
This is a "fake" condensed by partial awakening. If it were a real Star Citizen spacecraft cabin material, its hardness should be stronger than diamond.
Vivian raised her head. She saw many straight and wide lines on the upper part of the crystal barrier. Those lines made the entire barrier look like it was made of countless crystal plates. She guessed that those lines should be some kind of The structures used to transmit energy should have light flowing under normal circumstances, but now everything here is just a "fake" reflected, so there is no light on the crystal wall, and it looks like a dead object.
With Asuman's reminder, Hao Ren and Vivian quickly found the entrance and exit to a deeper space.
The entrance and exit are at the bottom of the crystal barrier. There is a triangular gate. Inside the gate is a corridor more than ten meters long: this corridor shows the astonishing thickness of the entire crystal barrier.
With such a thick barrier, there is no doubt that it is an extremely important place.
After passing through the passage, Hao Ren saw a space that could be described as "vast".
It is a pyramid-like four-sided pyramid hall - the structure of this pyramid hall is consistent with most cabins in the Asuman spacecraft. It seems that this is the "architectural style" of the Star Citizens - the light in the hall The dust was lingering, and the space was vast, so the entire hall seemed to be shrouded in mist. Even the floor of the hall showed a scene of rolling light clouds. In the rolling light clouds, various kinds of Crystal structures and obscure equipment appear and disappear, and some of them seem to have no fixed form.
It seems that even in the core area, "partial awakening" is limited. According to Hao Ren's visual inspection, only 70% of the structure in the hall should be in a solid state, while other places are still shrouded in light mist.
Of course, it is impossible for such a mutilated, phantom-like place to function.
Everything here is in a state of stillness and silence, like a group of stone sculptures.
Doudou poked her head out of Hao Ren's arms. The lack of gravity made the little one feel a little uncomfortable, and the lifeless atmosphere here made her dislike it even more. The fish baby nodded slightly and muttered: " It’s so lifeless.”
The little one also has his own life-sustaining collar, which is a model modified by Nolan in the laboratory. With the power of the life-sustaining collar, the little one can actually move around here independently, but Hao Ren didn't let her run around. .
Hao Ren touched the little guy's head: "According to Asuman, we are actually moving inside the body of a huge creature."
They came to the center of this vast hall, where there was a huge crystal cluster structure - quite similar in shape to the "thinking crystal" where Asuman's body was originally, but there was no flickering in the crystal. Brilliance.
The Asuman crystal floated quietly to the side of the crystal cluster: "This is the center of the entire spacecraft. If we can really establish contact with this dormant compatriot, it can only be in this place."
"But there are no signs of life activity here," Vivian frowned, tapping the lifeless crystal with her hand, "Can the terminal analyze anything?"
The data terminal had been floating next to Hao Ren. Hearing this, he flew forward and circled the large crystal twice. He concluded that he was quite frustrated: "I can't read anything. This thing is just a projection with an empty shell." 'It's just more real than ordinary projections, but the real structure of this hall should still be hidden in the mist."
Hao Ren searched around the hall without giving up and tried various ways to stimulate things in the hall, but still found nothing.
He began to wonder, did he have to blow up this place to wake up this starry sky citizen who seemed to have fallen asleep (he just couldn't get this idea out of his mind)?
In his arms, Doudou stuck out his head again, looking around curiously.
The little one thought hard and seemed to have an idea. Then he stretched out his hand towards the central crystal cluster not far away: "Yeah!"
The little mermaid disappeared instantly, and using the innate ability of the demon-hunting fish, she teleported directly to the crystal.
