The "Energy-Guiding Long Bridge" has been completely stopped, and its internal energy response is zero, so Sandora and I safely and boldly connected the work boat to the end of the "Energy-Directing Long Bridge" to provide energy for the latter.
By the way, I can also scan the structure of this facility through the crystallized tube network to determine its function. But I don’t know if it’s the evil star like me or something else... Even a place like this needs an accident:
The three-kilometer-long "abandoned facility" suddenly activated. The extinguished energy veins on its surface suddenly brightened, and the silver-white alloy shell surged with abundant psionic energy. Fortunately, Sandora and I had passed through it at this moment.
The fracture of the long bridge was outside, so I could calmly watch from the sidelines as this huge facility quickly came to life as if resurrected, and blew up our work boat after an energy surge.
"What's going on!?" I finally reacted quite quickly. I didn't care about the small loss of the unmanned spacecraft at first, but immediately went to scan the energy flow in the "Energy Guide Bridge". The result was surprisingly
It was discovered that it had received energy supply from nowhere and was now restarting at an extremely high speed!
"I'm afraid this thing is not just a fragment as we imagined..." Sandora suddenly released a large number of golden lines from her body, condensing into a huge arrow in the air, and the whole "person" pointed like a mouse pointer.
Looking in a certain direction, "Arjun, look at the fracture surface."
I stared at the big pointer next to me dumbfounded, and then I realized that now was not the time to pay attention to this: Sandora was pointing at the place where the long energy-guiding bridge was "cut off", around the oblique section that seemed to be cut off by a sharp blade.
It is showing an obvious space anomaly! The space within a hundred meters around the cross section is rippling like water, and the blue veins of nether energy extend directly from the armor plate of the energy-guiding bridge into space, remaining on the armor plate.
The spreading shape stretched out for half a kilometer before gradually fading and disappearing. At the same time, on the empty side of the section, some vague phantoms flashed out from time to time under the radiance of ghost energy. I knew immediately that
What's going on: It's the "cut off" part of the long energy guide bridge! In fact, this thing is not cut off at all?
"This should be related to the weird space structure here. The 'energy-conducting long bridge' has not been cut off. The other part of it should just be located in a certain space fold. The two seem to be separated. But in a higher dimension
"Connected together," Shandora Ball analyzed professionally, "the psionic energy is cross-dimensional, so when the psionic energy flows again, this 'separation' is temporarily neutralized, and the phantoms we see
It should be the image of the energy-conducting long bridge in another dimension. This was originally a quite simple phenomenon. But the space encryption here is really weird. I didn't think of this just now. Ah Jun, look...those nether energy veins are stretching, and
It seems to be expanding in all directions. This is probably the shape of the 'cut' part of the 'Energy Conducting Long Bridge'... No, that should be the main body of the building. What we see in the current time and space is only the sharp corner of the building exposed.
Like the head of an awl sticking out of your pocket."
I turned these words over and over in my head more than three times, barely building up this space model that was not easy to understand, and then clapped my hands (without making a sound of course): "So we can follow these psionic energy veins to find the person being
Encrypted space?”
"It doesn't seem that easy," Sandora Ball trembled restlessly, "The scientific research team of the engineering ship is using the highest power to crack the keys here, but these keys have penetrated all the way into the 'frequency' of the nether energy...
This energy-conducting long bridge was not accidentally exposed to this space. It seems to be a tentacle. It is something in the design. Its activation does not affect the integrity of the entire space lock... We'd better go there and experience it in person. Ah Jun, please protect me.
Well, the defensive power of the spiritual spark is not as good as my main body. If it is blown to pieces, I will have to make a new one."
I quickly hugged the Sandora ball and protected both of them with a shield. Then I cautiously approached the shining "energy-guiding bridge" and plunged directly into the section with turbulent light flow. I thought
See what has changed here.
Strong energy was surging all around. I felt that the location I was in should be an energy node. If the "energy-guiding long bridge" was restored to integrity, this would probably be the hub of the crystallized pipe network or the location of the energy regulation valve. Engineering ship
The scientific research unit I carry cannot crack the complex space encryption here. So I can only try to see if my weird little ability can bypass it, but I have to be very careful in this process: I want to directly inject the power of void creatures
Entering an antique equipment that has not been maintained for tens of thousands of years, although the imperial equipment has always been durable, the nether energy node is like a heart, which may explode.
I'm not afraid of getting hurt. Sandora probably wouldn't mind recreating a spiritual spark for me to play with, but if the antique explodes, it will be gone.
The spiritual power carefully expanded along the torrent of psionic energy flowing out of thin air in space, shifting my "perspective" from the angle familiar to humans to a broader direction. I began to feel that I was moving along the energy, and the surroundings
It's space... space... space... the wreckage of a work ship... Oh, it's running in the opposite direction. Let's change the direction.
After sensing it in another direction, I was finally sure of what I vaguely "saw": in a chaotic and weird space, psionic energy veins that were so complex that they could drive any intelligent creature crazy were entangled, pulsating, and permeated.
In some kind of system as huge as a planet. The energy flowing endlessly shows no damage caused by tens of thousands of years of sleep. A certain "giant facility" with huge energy seems to have been maintaining operation, in the outer space
Even though all these facilities have been shut down, the core of this ruins group is still intact and hidden in the alien space, beating slowly and powerfully like a dormant heart.
I can only "see" the energy distribution in that different space by sensing the flow of psionic energy, so what I can see is only the energy veins, which is equivalent to only being able to see a person's vascular system. You can outline it through this network
The shape of a human being, but the latter's face is unknown - this metaphor seems a bit scary? Anyway, it probably means the same thing.
Based on the energy veins, I judge that what is hidden in the different space seems to be an artificial planet. Is it a star battleship from the old empire era? Or is it another "Green Star" ark that the tree elves took when they fled? Or even more bizarre... it is Glory.
Starship?
It's hard to be sure. I can only see the psionic energy intertwined into a planet, but with my level of knowledge, I can't determine the model of that thing based on this. I guess Sandora can't either, it's too complicated.
I just don’t know what’s going on. The twisted and entangled nether energy veins only formed a thick “shell”, but its core is empty. It seems that there is something that I can’t understand or have never seen before.
Wrapped in veins. Although it is integrated into one, it can be clearly distinguished that it is not a system... Could it be that this encrypted space is not to protect the artificial planet inside it, but to protect something more precious at the core of the artificial planet?
Double insurance?
At this time, I suddenly felt that the flow of psionic energy around me became more turbulent. It seemed that my long-term "immersion" was destroying the stability of this system. I knew that the power of my void creature was actually a powerful bomb that was difficult to control. I hurriedly
I took back my mental power to prevent blowing up the entire system. When I focused my eyes, I saw my shiny, golden and round daughter-in-law floating in front of me: the sandora ball was almost touching my face.
"Arjun, what did you see? You looked very serious just now!" Her Majesty the Queen had no idea that she had become completely naturally cute, and asked me about the situation with a cute appearance and a serious tone.
"The alien space is equivalent to the size of the sun. In its center is parked what looks like a planet battleship. It may also be the second Green Star Ark that the exiles took. I can only see the energy flow in the artificial planet, so I dare not
Determine its model. In addition, there is an undetectable area in the core of the planet. It does not look like the structure of the artificial planet itself. It seems... to be cargo."
While explaining what I saw, I used the word "cargo" carefully. Among the many "historical issues" related to the old empire, the word "cargo" always touches people's heartstrings. It means
Troublesome. And most of the time it means a business trip - but now Sandora and I have been forced to travel here on business, so there seems to be nothing to worry about?
"Is it really a big thing? Maybe the God's Forge is really it?" Sandora's ball floated away a little, "No, I can't be sure. This is basically a guess. Why did this 'Energy-Guiding Long Bridge' suddenly appear?
Is it started? It seems to be the 'pendant' of the artificial planet you mentioned. It is always shut down. Could it be that we forcibly 'externally powered' it and triggered some alarm? It doesn't look like it. I haven't seen it yet.
The defense forces are rushing out."
The Sandora ball floated into space, and when she found that no defense forces appeared, she sighed in disappointment at the mental channel.
By the way, you are so disappointed right now! You only have one ball left, so why don’t you get so excited?!
"If there is a defense force rushing out, we will at least have a chance to capture an AI for analysis or something," Sandora explained. It turns out that it is not all the war factors in the bones of the Xiling apostle that are at work. "If we don't go in, we can only send
I hope something comes out of it - but now it seems that this is not reliable."
"It seems that the encrypted space here is the handiwork of Abyss Xiling. Even if she did not do it herself, it was some kind of equipment she left to the escapees to build this encrypted space." I looked at the scene in space, except in front of us.
In addition to the "energy-conducting long bridge" that is getting brighter and brighter, various abandoned facilities in the distance are still lifeless. I don't know what this complex of buildings jointly built by a large number of races is for. I can only confirm that it seems that only
Its core imperial facilities have withstood the test of time and are operating to this day. "That guy really has her everywhere...but at least it's not all bad. Wait! Sandora, what do you think that is?"
I pointed in the distance in surprise: the energy-conducting long bridge had reached a certain critical value, and a huge structure like a gate to the world was emerging from its end. This huge ring-shaped structure emerged out of thin air.
came out and stood still hundreds of meters above the end of the long energy-guiding bridge, with a diameter of more than ten miles (already far beyond the scale of the long energy-guiding bridge). Circles of ripples began to appear rapidly inside the ring.
A space door leading to a very far distance, perhaps even to other worlds, seems to be open, but it is different from the doors to other worlds we have seen - it is completely unable to sense the information leaked from the circles of ripples.
A scent from other worlds.
When Sandora and I curiously scanned this weird portal, a large piece of what looked like some kind of debris suddenly appeared in front of the portal! This debris had slightly curved edges and a dark surface.
It seemed to be a fragment that had fallen from a huge ring-shaped facility. Its two ends were uneven. There were traces of torn metal, and you could also see the pipes and lines inside that had been violently damaged.
Before I had time to take another look at it, this huge alloy fragment that looked like a wreckage passed through the newly established portal and completely disappeared into the universe. Then the portal decomposed and dissipated in space again, and the energy-guiding bridge surface
The blue light also dimmed quickly. It all disappeared faster than it appeared, and it was over ten seconds later: the weird "gate to the world" of more than ten kilometers returned to a certain encrypted space, and the energy-guiding long bridge
It also returned to its lifeless appearance again, just like the scene that Sandora and I saw when we first arrived here.
"What happened just now?" I turned my head and glanced at Sandora, "It turns out that the energy-guiding bridge has been charged for so long just to open the door to the world and send something out? It has something to do with our actions.
What?"
"That doesn't seem to be a simple door to the world... its working principle is different. I can't even sense where it leads to," the surface of Sandora's ball is filled with unprecedented bright light, which seems to express itself in this way.
Surprised, "It seems that we have indeed overthought it. It was not our activities that woke up the energy-conducting bridge. It just woke up at this moment and sent something away according to a certain program. You and I just happened to catch up with this scene."
...But having said that, Arjun, don’t you think the wreckage that was sent away just now looks a bit familiar?”
I curled my lips, thinking that no matter how bizarre it was, I could only admit that I had seen something similar: "It seems... it's Huesca's star ring fragments? We seem to have collected 99% of the star ring fragments.
But there must be some missing.”
Yes, Viska's star ring is broken! The star ring is the weapon pendant of the Viska barrier star (the moon) back then. There were originally two of them, and one of the star rings was blown into countless pieces. And they are in
In the early days of the new empire, it caused us a lot of trouble (many incidents were caused by those fragments). Over the past few years, we have been cleaning up these dangerous objects wandering around the void and the worlds, and almost all of them have been cleaned up.
, but after all, it is something that has been blown into powder, and there will always be fish that slip through the net and are not discovered... But I never expected to see a star ring fragment here!
And it seems that the star ring fragments were released from this world?
It's a bit too early to draw this conclusion now, but at least I just witnessed one of the fragments being sent away through a device suspected to be a world gate, right under my and Sandora's noses!
"I just asked the engineering ship to launch a probe to follow the wreckage," Sandora never loses control. Even if something happened suddenly, she still reacted. "But the probe was lost after passing through the portal."
Contacted - we still have to solve the blockade problem of this universe first."
"There are more and more mysteries now. It's interesting, but also quite troublesome." I looked at the long energy-conducting bridge suspended quietly in space. This three-kilometer-long metal "tentacle" had once again regained its original shape.
It looked lifeless. A certain system in the encrypted space seemed to have interrupted the energy supply to this place. It was completely by mistake that I and Shandora saw the shocking scene just now. This is probably the result of the two of us.
The only situation where luck works is when the chance of encountering an event is extremely high.
If I guessed correctly, this long energy-conducting bridge was not accidentally exposed to outer space. I am afraid that it is left here to calibrate the gate to the world. Maybe it will be activated every once in a while? Every time it is activated, it will be activated.
Throwing a piece of star ring fragment?
In other words... what it throws out is not just the star ring fragments, but what else is there in that different space?
None of this can be explained. The scientific research crew of the engineering ship is still working hard to crack the space encryption lock here, but there is no progress at all. The Abyss Xiling is indeed the spiritual collection of all the apostles of the old empire. The encryption system she left behind is still in the old empire era.
They all belong to the highest technology, and it goes without saying that it is impossible to solve it now!
"Oh, I finally found something related to the tree elves." At this time, Sandora's ball suddenly floated over. She was paying attention to the energy-conducting long bridge and the thrown star ring fragment. She was also operating on multiple lines, analyzing
The probe returned the scanning results of other surrounding facilities, and now she finally found something. "Tree elf-style equipment was found in some large buildings. It is the 'original style' on the Green Star. It is not what we were there on."
The tree elf style found on the planet that has undergone cultural integration, indeed there were tree elves among the race that originally built this ruins."
"It seems that we can only go back first and see what the old cadres of the Lost Religion have to say," I said, while raising my eyes to look into the deep space. "Speaking of which... I haven't found any other advanced civilizations yet.
A planet?"
"No," Sandra Ball's tone was a little disappointed, "At least within the scope of this galaxy, only the planet we first landed on has advanced civilization. There are some planets in other places that have relatively primitive ecosystems, but they are not as advanced as civilization.
It's still far away. It seems that the wanderers who fled here were not able to develop again in their new homeland. They found a random planet to take root, and then fell back to their primitive life soon after."
This is another strange phenomenon. Let’s go back and ask the people from the Lost God Cult.
