Chapter 1582 What the Hell Is This!
Hao Ren received the news while having breakfast the next day - Zhuomu finally heard the broadcast signal from the depths of the universe again, and this time with the assistance of the crystal resonance antenna, he successfully locked the source of the signal. .
This news immediately excited everyone. On the spot, Hao Ren gave up his job and asked the data terminal to transfer the communication. Zhuom's interactive image - this time it was an annoying dog avatar - appeared on the holographic projection: "That The communication frequency has appeared again! It is 22,000 light years away from us, and this time the position is very clear!"
"Let all the drones enter the jump acceleration orbit, and Nolan warms up the engines and prepares to go," Hao Ren immediately gave the order, and then asked curiously, "Is the crystal resonance antenna working this time? Can I receive it? Is there a crystal signal from space?"
"This... I haven't received it yet," Zhuom's voice was also a little confused, "I have only received communications from unknown parties. As for the crystal signal... except for the ones sent from us, I didn’t notice that at all.”
"It still doesn't work..." Hao Ren frowned, "It shouldn't be. Isn't there something wrong with the antenna?"
"I have also studied the system you built, and I feel that there is nothing wrong with the principle." Zhuomu sounded no less confused than Hao Ren. "And I am still using this antenna now. It is receiving There is obviously no problem at all in terms of ability.”
Hao Ren smacked his lips as if he had a toothache: "There is nothing wrong with the hardware. The principle is as simple as a straight line, but the signal that should be clear and unmistakable cannot be received. This is simply a metaphysical problem..."
At this time, Lily was rolling a bowl of noodles on her chopsticks and gnawing as hard as a chicken leg. When she heard this, she raised her head and said, "Landlord, you, the pope, are a leader in the world of metaphysics. There are times when you are fooled by metaphysics." ah?"
Nangong Sanba, who was next to him, thought about it seriously and suddenly came up with an idea: "The crystal signal can only be sent out from this planet, but it cannot be transmitted from the outside... Could it be Feng Shui... No , a problem of geographical location?”
"Are you saying that this planet or this planetary system blocks the entry and exit of crystal resonance signals?" Hao Ren was immediately inspired. He had to admit that although Nangong Sanba was a scumbag, this "Hunter Intelligence Analysis" skill point It's really high enough, "It's indeed possible...but why? What's so special about this planet? I don't see it either..."
The data terminal echoed: "It is indeed just an ordinary mild ecological planet. There is nothing abnormal about the planet system itself. The only thing worthy of attention is that there is an eldest son inside this planet... But the Dream Plane is basically an ecological planet. There is an eldest son. Ah, what is even more special is that this place was hit by a crystal once, and it also knocked the local eldest son stupid... Is it because of this that the crystal resonance signal from outer space is surrounding this planet? gone?"
"I always thought it couldn't be such a trivial matter," Hao Ren frowned, waved his hand, and stood up, "Forget it, we can study this matter slowly. The top priority now is to go to the communication that Zhuomu just found. Source', maybe there is another survivor civilization, and it sounds like they are still alive and well, which is not easy."
Hao Ren meant that it was not easy to find a group of lively survivors in the Dream Plane, but Lily waggled her tail and shook her head and said, "Yeah, it seems there is no need to collect the corpses this time..."
Hao Ren grabbed the Erha's tail and pulled it hard: "Eat well! Don't open any pot!"
Everyone knows that in the normal theme of monster girls, once a creature with a long tail is caught by its tail, the inevitable result will be shyness, weakness, and blurred eyes - but there is no normal guy around Hao Ren, so Lily's reaction He gnaws off the last noodle quickly and then jumps up to show that he wants to bite...
But she was suppressed by the second bowl of noodles that Vivian served her.
Nolan quickly completed the preparations before departure - in fact, if she was just going for a ride, she would not need to prepare at all. It was unambiguous to hit the accelerator and hit the sky on the spot. However, Hao Ren analyzed the contents of the communications he had received before. It was judged that the people who issued the call were most likely in danger. Regardless of whether it was the crazy eldest son who threatened them or something else, they had to be prepared to go and fight with them.
Therefore, Nolan spent a little time calibrating his fire control system to ensure that this most important equipment is in the best condition.
"We are the only ones who can go this time." Standing next to the Giant Turtle Rock, Hao Ren looked at Vivian standing next to him and Doudou lying in Vivian's arms, as well as the floating figure. Asuman Crystal, who was waiting to board the spaceship not far away, sighed helplessly, "Until the divine blockade is completed, it seems that you can only stay on this planet."
"It's super boring to stay at the base and look after the house, okay?" Lily was obviously a little unhappy, even her tail drooped listlessly. As a husky, being unable to join in the fun twice in a row had greatly dampened her enthusiasm. "When will that deadly divine blockade outside be turned off..."
Vivian glanced sideways at the husky girl: "Isn't guarding your old job?"
Lily immediately stared at him: "Do you still have some common sense! Our family is famous for pulling sleds!"
Vivian: "..."
I always feel that this dog has become invincible after letting myself go completely. The provocation method that was once invincible is now becoming less powerful day by day...
"There's nothing wrong with being a housekeeper," Yzaks finally stood up. "The agent sent a message saying that a group of people would be sent down to try to make first contact with the moderated Galactus. In addition, We also need to examine the environment on the surface of the home planet, and we can be more or less welcoming if we stay here."
Hao Ren nodded: "Then I'll leave this place to you."
Ten minutes later, the Giant Turtle Yantai had broken through the thick atmosphere of the agent's home planet and entered the vast universe.
In the vast space between the earth and the moon, a large number of temporary huge facilities have been built. In addition to the most eye-catching crystal resonance antenna that seems to be entangled with several towers, the largest number of these temporary facilities is Things related to drone swarms - drone armed fortresses, command centers, assembly workshops, garna libraries, beacons and lighthouses. These things form a complex three-dimensional structure in space, like a loosely stacked space city. .
A huge accelerating orbit extends from the edge of this "space city". It is called an "orbit". In fact, it looks more like a dozen rings arranged in parallel from large to small. These rings are arranged one after another. Arranged out, a continuous structure with a total length of more than hundreds of kilometers was formed, and a large number of armed drones had gathered in front of the largest ring at the starting point of the orbit, densely packed like a swarm of insects.
This kind of track looks like a "slingshot device" used to directionally launch physical units somewhere in the universe, but in fact its function is much more complicated and complete than that. Its multiple ring structure is not used to improve " Projectile's flight speed, but increases the jump speed of units passing through it. Each ring is equipped with an independent space conversion computer and is equipped with high-power coordinate redirection equipment. They can temporarily erase the coordinates of the "projected object" passing through it in the three-dimensional world, so that the latter can be omitted. Most of the calculation processes and startup losses in the hyperspace jump process allow the "projected object" to start the jump with extremely low consumption, and there is no need to worry about the additional energy loss caused by a large number of units starting the jump engine in the same direction at the same time.
Obviously, the jump acceleration orbit is definitely not a "directional delivery" thing.
If conditions permit, allowing a group of drones to build a jump acceleration track will greatly improve the delivery efficiency of combat units, but this device has obvious shortcomings - that is, only vehicles with the jump function can use it. If it is a conventional powered spacecraft...
Their only fate after entering the ring is to have their coordinates in the real world erased, thus becoming a permanent quantum ghost, wandering in the main material plane until the end of the world before they can be freed.
Nolan slowly adjusted his direction, found his position in the gap specially created by the drone group, and then slowly entered the first ring of the accelerating orbit with this mighty "Guard Corps".
"The jump engine has been activated to accelerate the establishment of orbital connection."
Vivian unconsciously touched Doudou's little head: "Tell me, what will we see when we go there?"
"Judging from the content of those communications, the ones who sent the communications were a group of people who had escaped from the world or were on the run, and the communication technology they used was most likely inseparable from those resonance crystals... So to be honest, I think it was possible to threaten them. Not the eldest son," Hao Ren said. "The resonance crystal is a natural enemy to the corrupted eldest son, so what threatens those 'survivors' is probably something more dangerous."
"When did you think of this?"
"Just now," Hao Ren tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I don't know if it's intuition or not, but I always felt that this sudden communication source was related to the war that was going on somewhere...after all, it had to do with the resonance crystal. The line is over.”
Vivian did not respond, but just watched the acceleration ring displayed on the holographic projection getting bigger and bigger, and glowing brightly.
Each ring of the accelerating orbit begins to glow, and the strands of light are connected between the rings to form parallel lines. Inside each ring, the light film ripples like water, and the light is reflected on it. Showing the twisted and turbulent starlight.
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform and the drone swarm began to accelerate together and entered the ring array.
Every time they passed through a circle, the figures of the drone group and the spacecraft became blurred. Their speed became faster and faster, and their figures became closer and closer to transparency. By the time of the last circle, the entire fleet had disappeared. trace.
After a short one-minute jump—which was incredibly fast compared to a regular jump—the space around the Giant Turtle Rock Platform became bright again.
"All drones activate covert action modules and spread out to set up positions." Hao Ren said quickly while turning on the spacecraft's ultra-light search device - the coordinates provided by Zhuomu are a dynamic value, and the deviation is about There are two astronomical units, and in order to prevent the jump from falling into an unfavorable situation after entering the destination, Hao Ren specially made the jump target point deviate further, so after finishing the jump, he first needs to find and lock on where his target is. place.
At this distance, the search equipment provided by the Giant Turtle Yantai can easily find the target.
Sure enough, Nolan's holographic projection jumped out in just a few seconds: "Found it! Thirty-two light minutes from the flank of the fleet!"
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Take over the picture."
The starry sky image on the holographic projection flashed, and a huge structure that looked like celestial fragments appeared in Hao Ren's field of vision.
Also appearing together was a large army surrounding the remains of this celestial body.
Hao Ren: "What the hell is this!"
