Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind.

Chapter 116 Is a Worm

The gray Gu mothership quietly hovered directly above the vortex disk, and all the sensors went down, watching the starlight flowing and gathering in the same direction below, as if it was being sucked into the sea water in the ruins, and never belonged to this place. world.

In the cabin of the gray Gu mothership, the principle of the ring is rotating counterclockwise at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye. The vast energy flows in every scale of the ring, smashing the microcosm, tearing the macrocosm, and pushing Backwards in time for the lost dream constellations.

Gray Wind lay on Russell's lap, staring curiously at the inverted swirl star map in the holographic stereoscopic projection. Every tiny bit of starlight flowing in it represented a star in its prime of life. The hive world ship behind the gray Gu mother ship also looked so small.

It was also the first time to witness time regression on an astronomical scale.

Compared to Gray Wind's high spirits, Coroniai's mood was quite low. She leaned against Russell with her head downcast, resting her chin on his shoulder, her face full of grievances.

I know, it’s the kind where I put my best effort into building half a magnificent castle with building blocks, but was asked to dismantle it before it was completed, and all the building blocks had to be put back in place, but I still couldn’t resist ... Such a grievance.

Anti-entropy reverses the time of the entire lost dream star cluster. Any matter from the miniature galaxy will be traced back to the original state by the principle of the circle, and return to the independent miniature universe to form a corner of its own again.

During this period of time, Coroniai collected biomass to grow the swarms in the Lost Dream Star Cluster, and devoted a lot of energy to complete the biological assimilation and transformation of the Ark World of Fodora.

The biomass used to build the hive worlds also comes from miniature galaxies.

"I didn't intend to go back here at the beginning." Russell patted Coronial's shoulder lightly, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say:
"The full expansion of the miniature galaxy is inevitable. My original plan was to let you grow the swarm here as much as possible, and develop enough power to start a war with the descendants of the warring party C. That would be safer."

"But I also overlooked one thing: the expansion of the lost dream star group is an acceleration. As more and more galaxies are expanded, the mass gap between the local universe and the micro universe will further widen. The growing siphon strength makes the micro universe The unfolding of the galaxy has far exceeded my expectations... and I must not let this war happen without preparation."

This is a big deal, and here, any possible mistake will have disastrous consequences.

So even if the backtracking of the Lost Dream Stars will take away all the biomass that Coroniai collected in the Lost Dream Stars during this period and return it to the miniature galaxy, it will take a lot of time and energy to transform it to half of the hive world Had to start all over again, and Russell had to do the same.

As for Coronial's mood, he could only say sorry for it.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake that made all your work during this period go to waste."

Russell looked up at the whirlpool star map in front of him that was shrinking as it rotated counterclockwise, rubbed Coronial's ear, and said apologetically, "What compensation do you want me to give you?"

"Compensation...compensation..." Koroniai lowered his head with his flushed cheeks in both hands: "You don't need to give me any compensation, master, I'm just a servant you raised, no matter how I treat you, I will Willingly bear it..."

So, as expected, I still feel aggrieved... Russell sighed.Be it Gray Wind, Coroniai, or even the research director and Bernardita, why are the people around me so dishonest.

"How about I go back and eat Bao for you?" Russell asked softly: "Bao, which has cross-infected and mutated with the spores of the Orcs, has grown very fast, and Falla has almost been greened into a jungle planet now. ...The No. [-] planet and its satellites in the critical base are still idle, do you want me to specially transform a few Gaia planets for you as snacks?"

"Huh? Yes, is it possible?" Coroniai suddenly raised his head with bright eyes, his flushed cheeks were full of excitement.

Immediately afterwards, it felt that this was too rude, so it quickly covered its mouth with both hands, trying to make itself look more ladylike, but the saliva secreted from its mouth could not be stopped, and the sticky saliva came from It slipped down between the fingers, and dripped on the head of Hui Feng who was resting on Russell's knee.

"Pay attention to the image." Gray Wind helplessly dismantled and reconstructed the drool-stained hair.

The organism is so troublesome that it can't control even the most basic appetite.

Immersed in joy, Koroniai didn't care much about Gray Wind's dislike. He could get several delicious Gaia planets as gifts from his master. There will be no more negativity.

Coroniai swept away the previous depression and grievances, hugged Russell happily, kissed and gnawed, and the sticky tongue longer than an adult's arm licked his face with saliva, making Gray Wind gloat.

After being pushed away by Russell in distaste, Coroniai was not depressed, and turned to look at the holographic star map projection in front of him with great interest—the spiral star group had shrunk to less than one-tenth of its original size at this moment. size up.

The hive world that has completed most of the assimilation process is floating above the astrolabe, and the crimson tentacles are floating in the space, which has a similar effect to the sensor of the gray Gu mothership, allowing it to "see" the Lost Dream star cluster more clearly and intuitively backtracking process.

...Wait, why is the Hive World still the same?

Coronie Ayton felt puzzled.

Almost all the biomass it used to build the hive world was collected from the native planets of the Lost Dream Star Cluster.Now that the vortex has reversed and shrunk to less than one tenth of its original size, the planets it swallowed before have long since disappeared in the dense starlight.

The planets themselves have been traced back, why is the biomass I devoured from those planets intact?
The same doubts also surfaced in the hearts of Russell and Gray Wind.

Gray Wind held a handkerchief for Russell and wiped the saliva left by Coroniai on his face. All the sensors of the Gray Gu mothership changed their focus to the Fordola world ship floating behind him, and quickly completed the task. One simple scan.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the total mass of the Fodora Worldship is basically the same as before the activation of the Ring Theory, and there is no sign of being torn apart by time regression."

Coroniai also answered: "I can feel that the mother tree of life growing in the core of the world ship is still functioning normally, and the development of the spirit race embryos in the bract is also very healthy, and the first one will be produced for you soon. A batch of larvae..."

Listening to their reports, Russell looked up, and the real-time star map showed that the spiral cluster of stars in the Lost Dream Nebula had shrunk to the size of only one A-class star. It disappeared in a short period of time, leaving only dust clouds disturbed by gravity still floating in the void.

This is so weird...

"Anti-entropy, did you notice any abnormalities during the operation of the principle of the circle?" Russell asked.

"Everything is normal, except that the energy consumed exceeds expectations, there are no suspicious parameters, a near-perfect astronomical retrospective, Ms. Starstruck." The fist-sized cube core responded calmly.

"Just call me my administrator in the future, don't take Mr. Ma'am."

"Okay, Admin."

In the center of the disk of the Lost Dream Nebula, the dense light spots gathered by countless stars are shrinking rapidly. First, they are the size of stars, and soon they are only the size of planets, and even worse than Falla.

Anti-entropy says that there are no suspicious parameters, which means that there are no suspicious parameters in the literal meaning. Whether it is the operation of the theory of the ring or the contraction of the spiral galaxy group, it is completely in line with its calculation model, and the total amount of matter recovered for the miniature galaxy is also There is no deviation .

But "nothing" itself is the scariest thing.

Because matter will move in physical space, will produce chemical reactions and transform into other forms, and even transform from matter into energy, but only, it will not disappear or be produced out of thin air.

"The biomass collected by Koroniai from the Lost Dream Star Group is still stored in the Fordola World Ship, and has not been pulled by the time retrospective. However, the total amount of matter recovered by the miniature galaxy during the retrospective is not missing..."

This violates the conservation of matter.

"What filled the hole?"

"And what makes the biomass in the world of Fodora break away from the connection with the miniature galaxy, so that it cannot be traced back?"

All kinds of strange phenomena happened together, causing some indescribable strange feeling in Russell's heart, doubts, worries...all at the same time.

What responded to him was only the empty universe and the interstellar cosmic dust that was unevenly distributed due to the gravitational disturbance of celestial bodies.

"Administrator, the vortex is about to be completely closed back to the singularity, and the damaged container of the miniature galaxy is expected to be repaired in [-] minutes. Do you want to go to prepare for recovery now?" Anti-entropy asked.

Russell was still immersed in that weird state, and did not immediately answer Anti-Entropy's words.

Gray Wind gently hugged Russell's shoulders worriedly, ready to turn into a torrent of micro-machines at any time and swallow him completely in his body: "Marshal, what's wrong with you? I feel that you are a little weird, different from usual, And it's kind of scary."

Even Gray Wind finds it inconceivable that he actually thinks the Marshal is "scary".

Coronial was afraid that Russell was used to it, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. Through his keen synaptic nerves and fused soul, he could feel that the master seemed to be attracted by something now.It seemed that something was calling him, and he wanted to answer.

what is that?

Seeing that Russell did not give an order for a long time, and Gray Wind did not rashly approach the microscopic star cluster that was undergoing final contraction, for it, the strange situation of the Marshal is much more important than the miniature galaxy.

"Can you hear me? Marshal, I'll do a full body checkup for you right away, I—" Suddenly, Gray Wind's somewhat flustered words, and Koroniai's concerned gaze froze at the same moment.

One machine and one insect looked at each other, they realized the same thing: "You feel it too?"

Gray Wind and Coroniai nodded at the same time.

The holographic real-time star map in the cabin has become a hot energy ball focusing on the energy of countless stars, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

This is an optical error, the star cluster that gathered the entire Lost Dream Nebula is still shrinking until the return singularity will end.The reason Gray Wind sees it getting bigger and bigger is because it's getting closer

To be precise, it is the gray Gu mothership and the Fordola worldship that are approaching the microcosmic galaxy group located in the center of the vortex together.

"We've been captured! An irresistible gravitational force is pulling us towards the singularity!" Gray Wind immediately concluded.

But what is the source of gravity?
The answer is obvious.

Through the superluminal sensor, Gray Wind can see that, in addition to the miniature galaxy in the center of the vortex, the thin or thick cosmic dust scattered among the stars has also been captured, attracted, and pulled into countless strands by some powerful force. The fibrous clouds and threads extend towards the singularity at the center of the vortex.

Gray Wind turned his head as if facing a formidable enemy, only to see a sophisticated circular machine quietly placed in the cabin - the operation of the principle of the ring has long since ended.

The time regression that violates the conservation of matter, the huge gravitational force of unknown origin, and the marshal in a strange state...

"What happened here?" An emotion called confusion filled Gray Wind's entire consciousness.

Later, when the Gray Gu mothership was pulled into the endless dust that gathered by the huge gravitational force, all its onboard sensors failed.

This failure is not that the signal cannot be detected, but that too many signals are detected.

It sees, it hears, it smells, it touches... Words that exist but don't exist float among the stardust.

Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, spectra, vibrations, movement of quarks... that signal is present in every way.All energy and matter inside and outside the universe are singing prayers about a certain existence, no matter forward or reverse.

All the sensors received the same signal in various forms at the same time, and the endless amount of information poured into Koroniai's mind from every nerve, and echoed in Gray Wind's self-awareness from every inch of loop. .

However, when they really wanted to decode the content, they found that the vast information was actually only a few short sentences.

At this time, Russell suddenly sighed leisurely.

He moved his eyes away from the holographic projection in front of him, and his calm eyes seemed to pass through the hull of Gray Wind, staring directly at the abnormal singularity in the center of the vortex.

Russell didn't speak, but poetry was sung from his mouth:

"Time is horizon, gravity is desire."

"The past is the future, and the future is the past."

"Time is like a ring, endless reincarnation."

"The cycle of time will never end, but not every cycle will be complete..."

A series of fragmented sentences described the origin, form and end of a certain existence. Gray Wind felt as if he understood who the marshal was talking to, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

The existence of "He" itself is beyond the comprehension of all intelligent creatures.

"Marshal, what is that?" Gray Wind asked softly, as if afraid of disturbing someone's dream.

Russell also responded softly: "It's a bug."
