As soon as Mu Cang stepped into the wormhole, he felt as if he had entered another real starry sky.
From a visual point of view, in front of his eyes, apart from the huge round hole in front of him, which was as dark as an abyss and as large as a small wormhole, the surroundings were actually the vast and boundless starry sky of the universe.
There are endless billions of stars, nebulae, and star clusters that are constantly emitting dazzling purple, blue, and white starlight. They are crowded up, down, left, and right, just like Mu Cang is tightly wrapped by the entire universe. p>
Mu Cang can conclude that no one below the extraordinary level can resist the intense radiation contained in those starlights. In a short period of time, they will be penetrated by ultra-high-magnification multiple rays, destroying their genes and bodies, and eroding their souls and thoughts.<
/p>
He deduced that the seemingly real galaxies around him might actually be just 'pictures' on the inner wall of the channel.
These billions of starlight should be the 'images' transmitted through some unknown method from the stars that exist in countless unknown star fields in the infinite universe. The distance between them and Mu Cang is absolutely vast and immeasurable.
But even so, facing such a magnificent and extremely gorgeous cosmic wonder, Mu Cang couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Beautiful!"
Then, move forward.
After taking this step, the infinite number of cosmic galaxies that are closely surrounding it undergoes tremendous changes.
Swish——
As Mu Cang took one step forward, the vast starry sky filled with endless galaxies and nebulae twisted around him in an instant and began to spin at extremely high speeds.
This scene is fleeting and gorgeous to the extreme.
It is as if he is the real center of the universe at this time. Every time he takes a step, countless stars and billions of stars will dance wildly with him.
"Oh?"
Mu Cang stopped in slight surprise, and the boundless sea of stars above, below, left, and right also stopped suddenly with his movements.
"Interesting."
Take another step.
The boundless sea of stars also rotated at extremely high speed again, with him as the center.
Appreciating this rare spectacle of the universe, Mu Cang chuckled, no longer hesitated, and immediately galloped forward.
In an instant, the endless sea of billions of stars wrapped around him spun like crazy with him as the center, turning into a blazing white passage made of countless dazzling starlights, allowing it to fly and gallop in the passage.
While flying, Mu Cang had a sudden thought and suddenly sent out dozens of spiritual thoughts and rushed towards the 'wall' of the galaxies whirling around him.
He wants to study what the material that builds the 'wall' is.
But as soon as these spiritual thoughts flew in all directions, they inexplicably fell into the dilemma of spinning in circles or even turning back.
Seeing this situation, Mu Cang gathered his spiritual thoughts and controlled his exploration in the forward and backward directions, only to find that he could operate the exploration normally without any hindrance at all.
"There are only forward and backward directions. Could it be that... this is the special property of the inner passage of the wormhole?"
Mu Cang, who was traveling at sub-light speed, felt confused and began to carefully perceive the structure and nature of the surrounding space.
Soon, with the help of the parallel research of Deliang Divine Awareness and Chaos Computing, he finally figured out the specific reason.
Snap!
After trying to open a warp bubble and failing, Mu Cang raised his head and looked around and whispered:
"I see, this space only has two concepts of [direction]: [front] and [back], and the nature of the space itself is also very different from the outside universe, so warp speed navigation is impossible."
"That's it, calm down and move forward."
With his mind made up, Mu Cang's body flashed and he flew towards the black abyss ahead.
Suddenly, a sparse material flow containing slight fluctuations of life blew towards us.
"What?"
As soon as Mu Cang had an idea, he 'trapped' a fist-sized ball of sparse material and pulled it closer to observe.
In the microscopic field of view, there are millions of micron-sized, cell-shaped oval organisms in the sparse mass of matter.
These creatures are always trying their best to absorb the energy of photon beams passing through the wormhole space.
When he saw this thing, Mu Cang immediately understood: "It turns out to be the energy-absorbing bacteria of the Star Sea."
Yes, he recognizes this kind of life.
In the memory of those mercury race crew members, this kind of microorganism named astral energy-absorbing bacteria, which is one of the six major disasters in the galaxy along with the galactic tyrant, is spread all over the galaxy. It can be called the most successful life in the entire galaxy in terms of procreating offspring.
Ethnic group.
At the same time, it is also the life group that is most hated by all civilizations.
This energy-absorbing bacterium does not require any nutrients when in a healthy state, and can survive and reproduce as long as it has energy.
Its reproduction method is both simple and magical.
They will transmit information about their genetic traits in all directions at the speed of light by emitting gravitational waves of specific frequencies just like broadcast stations.
As long as there is any material area with a certain density in the universe, such as interstellar dust clouds, comets, asteroids, etc., when these areas receive this kind of gravitational wave, they will miraculously autonomously aggregate to form groups of energy-absorbing bacteria larvae.
.
Its incredible reproduction mechanism has attracted many civilizations to study it, hoping to find usable parts of its genes or to produce viral weapons against this species.
But they all failed in the end.
These civilizations discovered that this species does not have a specific genetic structure on the material level.
Its existence is as natural as a natural phenomenon.
In the end we had to let it go.
However, just because they are small does not mean they are easy to deal with.
The vitality of these little things is actually much more perverted than the immortal tardigrades on Blue Star.
They have super regeneration capabilities and can adapt to ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, high magnetic and high radiation environments, and ultra-large gravity acceleration.
It can even open a membrane hundreds of times its own area, use the light pressure of stars as power, and carry out long interstellar voyages with time units of tens of thousands of years.
And after certain conditions are met, this kind of star sea energy-absorbing bacteria will evolve into ship energy-absorbing beasts that are larger in size, more efficient in absorbing energy, and have stronger survivability (see Chapter 13 for details).
This energy-absorbing beast has the ability to detect energy sources extremely sensitively, as well as the terrifying ability to absorb energy regardless of physical barriers.
Like psoriasis, they will look for every opportunity to adsorb on the surface of ships traveling in the universe, constantly absorbing the internal energy of the ship through the thick hull, causing serious unnecessary energy consumption and power loss of the ship.
If they don't encounter a good energy source like a starship, they will fall into an endless slumber, using the light pressure of stars to travel across the interstellar distance, while waiting for a long period of ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million years.
The technologically mature interstellar civilization has nothing but disgust for this kind of creature.
It can neither be exploited nor exterminated.
But if left alone, as time goes by, the continuous navigation of the starship will be greatly affected, so it can only be eliminated over and over again just like the ships on Blue Star regularly clearing the barnacles on the bottom of the ship.
And once low-level civilizations that are new to interstellar encounter them, they will suffer disaster in the development of aerospace.
Because the crude spacecraft of low-level civilizations that rely on fossil fuels to generate energy for propulsion are completely unable to withstand the energy-draining power of this group of creatures, and there is no particularly effective method of killing them.
Of course, these creatures are not without their weaknesses.
Because they do not have active flight organs, their body material structure is relatively loose and their density is relatively low.
】
So once you fall into a certain planet, you can never return to the starry sky.
As long as they are exposed to the high gravity environment inside the planet, this group of creatures will die quickly.
For example, on Blue Star, the so-called "angel hair" translucent colloid discovered by some pilots in the atmosphere is actually the remains of corpses left behind after such beings accidentally crashed into the planet and died.
Of course, these characteristics are far from enough to make them so-called galactic disasters.
What really makes the energy-absorbing bacteria of the Star Sea rank among the six major disasters is their evolved products.
To put it simply, star sea energy absorbing bacteria can evolve into ship energy absorbing beasts.
The ship energy-absorbing beast can evolve into an energy-stealing monster.
Just the most basic energy thief, its ability to absorb, store, and use energy has already completely surpassed the best character in "Men: First Class" - the Black King Sebastian Shaw.
Even the thief has no thinking at all and is not affected by any mental, spiritual, or soul skills.
Driven by instinct, they will attack the fleets of various civilizations in groups.
Even after evolution, they are no longer afraid of the gravity of the planet, and will directly land on the surface of the planet, greedily devouring the energy contained in all objects, turning them into cold, dead fragments.
When the energy thief evolves to the extreme, it will turn into a giant overlord creature entrenched in the depths of the star - the sun squid.
That's a group of real space vampires.
They will wander in the sea of stars in groups, looking for stars to prey on.
Once discovered, they will swarm in, greedily and crazily sucking stars.
The latter's lifespan of billions of years will be drastically reduced by a million times, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of times due to this kind of swallowing.
This would be a disaster for the civilization living in the star field where the star is located.
"A very troublesome and dangerous species, and indeed weird."
Mu Cang used his spiritual thoughts to dissect these microscopic beings inside and out, and found that they were indeed just like the fat captain remembered, with ridiculously simple structures, but he could not find why these creatures could be built from a ball of interstellar dust.
A living creature.
Shaking his head, Mu Cang shattered the energy-absorbing bacteria into countless atoms and dispersed them. Mu Cang continued to fly forward.
During the flight, he discovered that the wormhole tunnel was not a perfect straight line, but was constantly bending and undulating very irregularly.
On the inner wall of the passage, which is like a galaxy in the universe, there are dark forks scattered irregularly, with diameters ranging from more than ten meters to two to three hundred meters.
There is no end in sight, and I have no idea where it leads.
Mu Cang discovered that only when such a fork appears, the nature of the space in the wormhole will change. The directions are no longer just forward and backward, but there are more choices, such as these 'embedded' in the wormhole cavity.
An unknown fork in the inner wall of the road.
According to the Fat Captain's memory, they fled from the other side of the wormhole in the opposite direction.
There are thousands of internal forks in the wormhole recorded hastily along the way.
In a sense, they are just coming from a fork with a larger diameter. They have no idea how many forks there are in this weird wormhole like a giant honeycomb, and where they will reach.
.
Even in a universe that already has a history of 13.7 billion, those mercury fleets cannot be the first batch of life forms to arrive here.
For example, the galactic tyrant, one of the six major disasters in the galaxy, got into this wormhole who knows how many years ago and has been sleeping strangely to this day.
In the long past, countless beings must have entered this wormhole in different eras.
Where have they gone now? What forks have they entered? Did they successfully pass it, or did they die silently in some unknown fork road?
Mu Cang also doesn’t know.
He only knew that in just a short distance, there were dozens of branches of different sizes on the inner wall of the wormhole.
The wormhole tunnel is so long as a whole, and the number of branch tunnels is definitely not just the thousands in the memory of the fat captain.
There may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of items.
They have never been fully discovered and experienced by humans, but have slept quietly in the mezzanine of the vast and distant universe for countless years.
I don’t know when and why I was born.
I don’t know how many strange sights and things are hidden inside.
For example, those tiny energy-absorbing bacteria.
They live in small worlds, born and destroyed, from generation to generation.
Until millions of years and tens of millions of years later, when the wormhole collapsed at a certain moment, it also died with it.
Thinking of this, Mu Cang suddenly raised his head and his expression suddenly changed.
Once on earth, he was just a small fish and shrimp.
In this corner of the world, as the tide of time drifts, destiny also rises and falls.
Maybe he died of illness many years later, or he died of a natural disaster.
But luckily.
Fortunately he traveled through time!
There is also an ‘infinite attribute system’.
He, Mu Cang, has the opportunity to escape from his ordinary and tragic fate and escape from the short life span of just a few decades.
Xuan Chengzi, Gai Zhoutian, Wu Zhan, Six Pointed Star, Monroe Holmes, Mycenier, the original devil...
At this time, these people seem to be nothing more than a glimpse of the scenery leading to a higher level of life.
He will continue to make progress and become stronger forever.
No matter what the enemy is or what difficulties are in the future...it's just a matter of conversation!
"Except for life and death, there is nothing important in this world."
Mu Cang grinned, his heart suddenly felt happy, and his speed increased by two points.
At this moment, an extremely obscure wave of information quickly passed through the perception.
"What's going on?"
Mu Cang was suddenly surprised and turned to look to the right.
That is the direction from which the information is transmitted...a deep space-time fork with a diameter of only more than three meters.
Forked roads are not unusual, Mu Cang has seen many of them along the way.
What's strange is that at the entrance there is a damaged, worn-out 'monument'-shaped square object full of age, stuck there.
This 'stele' made of unknown materials is about three meters high and one meter wide.
The surface of the 'stele' is engraved with large, delicate and complex patterns. Although the pattern is no longer clear, Mu Cang can still feel the strange beauty of these patterns.
"What is this? It's hidden deep in the wormhole?"
Out of curiosity, he urged his spiritual thoughts to sweep towards the mysterious ‘stele’ body.
Suddenly, a huge but fragmented flow of information poured into Mu Cang's mind.
At the very beginning of that message, it was clear that there was a strange glowing text that was constantly rotating in a 3D shape, but full of ravines and mottled cracks.
Just this damaged three-dimensional text contains the content of a long paragraph:
[… Latecomers, welcome to the Westem Federation Experimental Site No. 137, the supervisor-Saknusem pays tribute to you…]
