Chapter 605 Calibrating the Star Chart

Doudou sat on Silly Cat's head and waved her little arms to say goodbye to her father. The little guy now understands the reason why Hao Ren and other adults in the family often travel far away. Coupled with her rapidly growing mind, she is no longer as willful and clingy as she was before. The little guy also knows when necessary. Stay at home honestly. And as long as someone can watch and prevent her from seeking death, Hao Ren can rest assured that the little one can stay at home.

The cat girl carefully pushed her head against her fish master, smacked her lips and recalled the taste of May's tail, and meowed to Hao Ren and the others as they stepped into the teleportation beam as a farewell.

When the teleportation light flashed by, Hao Ren was already leading the others to stand in the hinterland of the dark snowfield.

A large lilac space crack stood in mid-air. Near the space crack were several silver-white devices that emitted a faint light. Around these devices was a circle of beam generators and warning devices that illuminated the surrounding snow.

Nothing else.

"I think instead of building a frost town elsewhere in the snowfield, you should decorate the space around this crack. Not to mention building a fortress, at least build a shed to protect you from the wind and snow," Vivian stamped her toes. Shaking off the snowflakes that had just touched his boots, he said, "Alamanda across the street has almost developed into the Capital Airport, and the portal at this end looks like a bicycle shed."

The strange cold air unique to the dark snowfield came from all directions. 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 form of sea snakes. This At that time, the snake tails of the three people were covered with a thin layer of ice, and they made a squeaking sound when they moved their bodies slightly. Shakeela hugged her shoulders and looked around: "What 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 raised his finger and pointed at the crack in space, "and this is the buffer zone between the real world and the dream plane. Everything here has been distorted by the atmosphere of the other world. After that, of course it will be a little weird.”

The Siren Queen bent her tail into a question mark: "Can we reach our hometown through this crack?"

"No, we still need to calculate coordinates, detect, navigate, and check for hidden dangers - this is an adventure. 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 go and get to know each other."

Everyone followed Hao Ren through the gate, and a scene completely different from the dark snowfield suddenly appeared in front of them.

This is a brand new silver hall.

The space crack is located in the center of the hall, with lavender light shining over a dozen meters around it. 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. Above it is a translucent light blue energy barrier. Through the barrier, you can directly see the clear sky outside. The hall has a gorgeous golden floor, which is the only remaining original structure of this teleport station - the square floor of the city of Alamanda.

Some advanced equipment that had just been installed were distributed on one side of the hall, where several autonomous machines were flying around to debug the equipment. One of the autonomous machines sensed the owner's return and made a series of chirping sounds to come over to report the progress of the work. Hao Ren knocked on the shell of the mechanical squid: "The project is progressing well. It seems that the transmission station has been completed... Oh, the nearby broadcast tower has also been completed?"

When the Siren Queen saw this thing, she immediately "hissed" and retreated several meters away, her face full of vigilance: "What is this?!"

"My workers...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 just work here. This teleportation station It was a ruin before, and if they hadn’t been busy for so long, you wouldn’t even be able to breathe the earth’s air here today.”

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

Lily was surprised: "Then when you turned into a giant squid, didn't you have any psychological shadow?"

The Siren Queen was stunned for a moment, and a wave of depression suddenly hit her heart: "Oh my God, I have lost a possibility forever in my life..."

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

Hao Ren looked around and felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "I'm going! I forgot to notify Betsy! Just wait a moment -"

Hao Ren said and quickly turned on the communicator. In order to keep abreast of Holleta's situation at all times, he asked Betsy to carry a communicator, so after calling a few times this time, he heard Betsy's lazy voice: "Huh? Landlord?"

"What are you doing over there?"

"Me? I'm attending an event here. This is a first-person competition. Are you okay, landlord?"

"First thing," Hao Ren said quickly, "Have you caught the brain monster over there?"

"Not yet," Betsy's voice suddenly became serious, "What's wrong?"

Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Inform Ofra, don't alert the snake after you find the clue, let alone lead the people to catch it yourself! The body of that thing has overwhelming spiritual power on mortals, and it needs special means to seal it. Determine the brain Notify me immediately of the strange location, understand?"

Betsy quickly agreed: "Yes, yes - by the way, landlord, what are you doing now?"

Hao Ren sighed: "I'm going to blow up something."

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

Hao Ren was almost choked and bleeding from his lungs: "Four times!"

Betsy: "... Landlord, your life is still so exciting?"

After hanging up the communication, Hao Ren curled his lips and said, "Becky... let's go, our time is precious."

He released the Giant Turtle Rock Platform from its portable space, led everyone onto the spacecraft, and then directly passed through the transparent barrier above the Alamanda teleportation station and rose into the sky. The golden waste city below can be seen as the spacecraft rises. The picture transmitted from the external monitor can see busy construction scenes all over the city, and there are several silver-white buildings outside the towering city walls. The spire device has begun to operate, and the project 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 the planet is developing towards a real stronghold and fortress.

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

"Tanagus, another destroyed civilization. They were more unlucky than you - they failed to launch their exile spacecraft when the disaster struck, and the self-rescue technology they chose failed to work, so they became extinct, and this planet All that's left is a hollow echo. The spiers are canceling it out, but that has little to do with you."

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

"Know."

"Then...what do you do?" Shakeela finally couldn't hold it back, "Of course you don't have to answer, I'm just too curious and can't control it. The actions of you people are completely beyond those of any human or alien species. ”

The spacecraft gradually left the atmosphere, and the pale golden and gray-green planet surface of Tanagus gradually moved away from the external monitor. The glow of the Crystal Core 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 casually called up the star map: "This is a long story, let's talk about it slowly on the road. Terminal, start calculating the star map."

Although the star maps stored in Nasatorn's database are reliable, they do not actually meet the standards for cosmic voyages. The Kraken back then did not have the technical level to sail to any point in the universe at will, so their star maps could only mark the range they could explore as much as possible - compared to the entire space, it was just a boat in the blue ocean.

Marking the position of a star in the universe is a complex subject. You can use several supernovae to form a connecting line to indicate the position of a star, or you can detect enough stars to establish a complex three-dimensional coordinate system. But no matter what, you are faced with a problem: the universe is too vast and changing every moment. Stars are constantly moving, rising and falling, and any star map coordinates will become increasingly imprecise as time passes. The Xiling God System scans snapshots of the entire universe through things like the Sovereign Hub, so they don't have to worry about this, but the same cannot be said for ordinary races. They must find ways to offset this "star map shift", and one of the ways is to draw Explore the widest possible range of the starry sky: enough celestial objects and a large enough star map span allow them to have more backup connections to determine the position of a star.

However, the Kraken's star map is a primary star map. Perhaps it was not so accurate at the beginning. After 10,000 years, its accuracy has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the data terminal needs to recalibrate the starlight to convert the current true star map. The universe overlaps with what is recorded on the star map, so that Io's location can be determined.
