Chapter 447 The front and the back

"Oh, I'm not qualified to comment on right or wrong. After all, everyone has their own position, especially since you have already shouldered the responsibility with your lives. Some selfishness is normal. No one can accuse you. When you reset the virtual space background Although you paid a price for your priority, the bigger reason why others are willing to cooperate with you is that they also know that what you have done is not excessive." Shuer shrugged and smiled nonchalantly. Said, "So, it is completely understandable that you hope that the children in the dream can live safely. What I am more curious about is your current state. In other words, your fleet is actually always sailing now? Not staying in one place?"

"Guests, you can see for yourself." Ryan raised his voice and gave a few incomprehensible instructions, which should be navigation terms. Then, there was a low buzz on the bridge.

"As I said just now, we exiles spend most of our time escaping in the universe, and only occasionally stop to rest. If we are on the voyage, we will basically not see anything. All we will see is countless connected lines. Starlight, but coincidentally, now is our rest period." Ryan stared at the edge of the bridge in the distance and said softly, "Please take a look, this is our current state."

The next moment, light came in.

The bridge is illuminated by lights, and the lights are relatively soft, so the environment on the bridge is relatively dim. If you are farther away, you can only see the vague outline of the facilities.However, following Ryan's invitation, the outer wall of the front half of the bridge began to expand to both sides, exposing the bridge to the external environment.

No, to be precise, there is a layer of special glass in the middle. The transparent glass is blue and can filter most of the light from the void. But even so, the shadow chasers still feel that the light on the bridge It's getting more and more glaring.

Because everyone's entire field of vision was occupied by a fireball.

The Jackdaw spacecraft under the feet is rotating around a huge fireball. The large spacecraft thousands of kilometers long is as small as dust in front of the huge fireball. Around the Jackdaw, you can also see some basic shapes. The same spaceship is also revolving around the fireball, but the distance is too far apart, it is inevitable that the details cannot be seen clearly, and only the general appearance of other spaceships can be seen.

The fireball seemed to be burning blazingly, with long pillars of flame constantly expanding and contracting at the edge. Even though the distance was far apart, and there was a filter glass barrier, the shadow chasers could still feel the terrifying power emitted by the fireball, powerful and scorching. , violent, full of will to destroy.

Further away, a red planet that is much smaller than the fireball maintains a fixed distance from the fireball and moves around the fireball. The red planet is also surrounded by more than a dozen giant battleships from the brown star. The distance is much closer than the distance between the Jackdaw and the fireball. Occasionally, smaller ships will separate from the spacecraft and sink into the surface of the red planet.

"The third phase of stars is about 35 billion years old, with an energy intensity of [-] and a stability of [-]. Most of the stellar orbits are cold planets with low industrial value." When the attention of the shadow chasers was completely captured by the huge fireball Let's go. When everyone was stunned and couldn't even speak, Wei suddenly woke up Shuer, who was serious, "The purpose of the spacecraft staying in the orbit near the star is to fill the energy pool and replenish the lost auxiliary power. The rest The spacecraft orbiting the planet should be mining various basic elements. Since their internal space is not a real planet, it is impossible to have various naturally generated elements. Daily consumption can only be replenished in this way. Further away The location, well, is outside the visual range of Your Majesty the Commander. According to calculations, there should be a huge number of spaceships. The size of their fleet exceeds my prediction. I need time to recalculate and judge."

"Well, thank you, Wei." Xiure nodded calmly and looked at his teammates. It can be seen that this scene shocked the others no less than him.

"O'Fregen." The dwarf had forgotten to complain. He tugged at his beard and said in disbelief, "This... this... this is similar to Lord Suir's body, and the one over there, Just like our Parvatija? God, how can he be so powerful?"

"Now I finally know why I feel that the energy of the fire attribute is particularly violent." Even Mia, who had always been cold, could only stare blankly at the huge fireball, and sighed softly, "Having such pure flame energy, It’s unbelievable that this happened naturally.”

"I'm sorry, you two. We who come from magical civilization have never seen such a spectacular scene. In our world, like this star, it is either the ontology of the gods, or part of the concept symbolized by the gods. For To express respect, it is not convenient for us to look directly at it, so only in this world without gods can we have the opportunity to feel this." Shuer took a deep breath, forced himself to resist the urge to turn his gaze back to the fireball, and said to The two smiling old men said, "Thank you both for allowing us to experience everything before us, and please forgive us for our gaffe. After all, these... shocked us too much."

"It's okay, we don't mind, we're just a little curious." Ryan and Nina asked with smiles on their faces. "The technological level of your world is higher than ours. Even if it is inconvenient to observe directly as you said, it should be right." If you understand the landscape of the universe, you won’t be shocked to this extent.”

"Oh, Mr. Ryan, we have seen a lot of amazing scenes. We have also seen the scenery in the void from various images. If it was just a visual effect, we would not be as rude as we are now." Shuer sighed. After taking a breath, he explained, "The creatures in this world should not have the ability to sense energy and control it on their own, so you two don't understand how we feel now. At this moment, every piece of our skin and every hair is soaked in In the powerful energy emitted by this star, even when we were wrapped in divine power before, we have never understood the word powerful as we do now. Haha, I see, this is our opportunity, no wonder wisdom The Lord’s prophecy is so certain.”

"Sorry, Mr. Seure's words are beyond our ability to understand." The old woman Nina shook her head gently, "But you seem to mean, how many people will this help?" "More than just It's helpful. For us, this is a rare opportunity that comes once in millions of years." Shuer finally couldn't help it anymore and focused his attention on the huge fireball again. He didn't even communicate like before. Cautious, told the truth, "Unlike you, our civilization pays more attention to the power of the individual. To be precise, it is the individual's understanding and control of energy. And this experience has made us... Oh, really It’s indescribable, and if possible, we would have loved to have been closer to bask in such pure energy.”

"I see." Ryan nodded, "Do you need us to get closer?"

"Huh? Can you get closer?" Shuer was stunned for a moment and came back from his intoxication. Although he wanted to agree immediately, his reason stopped his impulse. "We expanded the range of energy perception to the bridge. Only outside the protective layer can you directly feel the energy of the star, and there is this layer of glass protection on the bridge, which filters out most of the energy, so that you can stand here safely. But after all, your bodies are different from ours. If you get closer, , I won’t be able to stand it in protection.”

"Indeed, if you get closer, the outer wall of the bridge must be closed, otherwise the star's rays will kill us. But if you need to get closer, we can exit the bridge first and let you enjoy the sunshine." The old woman He smiled kindly and said, "This has nothing to do with the things I want to talk about later. It's just a little gratitude to you as a pair of parents who finally see their children."

"Oh, thank you very much, but don't rush for a while. We can stay in this world for at least ten days. There will be plenty of time after that. Let's talk about bathing in the sunshine later." Shuer suddenly clapped his hands hard and woke up. He said to his teammates who were still intoxicated, "Please wake up and don't be so embarrassed. Now is not the time to realize energy."

"Yeah, now is the time for photosynthesis." Moria was the first to come to her senses, raising her hands to pretend she was a tree basking in the sun, "Sasa, come and water me."

Xiuer rolled his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to her, and asked seriously: "I wonder how long your fleet will stay in this... galaxy?"

"It won't be long. Let's stay for another ten days at most." Ryan calculated and said, "This is already the limit. If we don't leave, we will be in trouble later."

"Why, is there something chasing you?" Shuer asked, "I have asked this question before. Below, you said you would explain it in detail after meeting. Is now the time to explain it?"

"It's not that I didn't want to explain it before, but it's hard to describe it accurately." Ryan hesitated for a moment and gave another command to the central computer. Then, the outer wall of the rear half of the bridge also unfolded, revealing another part that had been blocked before. aside.

Looking forward from the front half, what you see are stars, galaxies, and endless brilliant starlight in the distance. The void filled with stars is like a vast ocean, mysterious and profound.

However, when I looked back from the back half, all I saw was darkness.

There is no starlight, no energy, only endless silence and darkness. What can be sensed from the darkness is nothingness full of destructive malice.

Every shadow chaser present has once faced this void on the sea of ​​sand.

The great rift in the void.
