With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 386: Holes and Black Holes

"..."

The cockpit of the Varela was extremely quiet.

Chen Fan looked up at the coordinates on the holographic panel of the main console, and then looked at the location where the ghost fleet disappeared for the second time.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

grass.

The huge mountain pressing on my heart suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason.

Are you sure that this ghost fleet is an advanced civilization with strength beyond that of the Human Alliance?
Why did he always feel that the ghost fleet's behavior was a little... strange and familiar? !

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have encountered a similar style of behavior somewhere - yes, he was talking about those unreliable Lothal Panda people.

Lin used the same style when she transported the investigator starship for him!

To be precise, the Lothal Pandaren are not the only ones who are so unreliable. Many civilizations under the Human Union actually behave in the same way.

The reason behind this is not difficult to understand.

Under the protection of the Human Union, and with the existence of the pan-universal interstellar trade circle, most civilizations can develop themselves peacefully and steadily.

Correspondingly, this environment of peaceful development has also created a large number of "fun civilizations".

The Lothal civilization is one of the best among them.

only……

Why does the Ghost Fleet behave like this?
Could it be that……

Does the other party's civilization also advocate peaceful development like the Human Union?

If this is true, it is undoubtedly great news!

In just a moment, Chen Fan made a lot of guesses based on the ghost fleet's style of behavior.

Until Yi's electronic synthesized voice sounded again:
【The coordinates have been positioned. 】

At some point, the holographic interface above the main console had been replaced by a huge star map.

On the star map that covers the entire node universe, a faint red light spot is flashing - it is a slightly smaller hollow structure, less than 100,000 light-years away from the Varela star system.

For the entire universe, this distance is already very close.

Chen Fan briefly checked the star map and space-time field detection equipment, and after confirming that there was no danger in the target area, he issued an order to Yi.

"One, notify Mochi and ask him to use the Stargate authority to open a wormhole for us."

The appearance of a ghost fleet is often accompanied by quite strong space-time fluctuations. Since this space-time fluctuation lasts for a very short time, it will not affect normal curvature navigation, but it will cause great damage to the stability of the wormhole.

Conventional, low-power wormholes created by starships cannot withstand such torment.

Up to now, the only wormhole stabilization device in the entire human alliance that can withstand the instantaneous fluctuations caused by the appearance of the ghost fleet is the wormhole stabilization device equipped on the stargate.

Within a few seconds, a strong space-time fluctuation appeared without warning at the edge of the Varela star system. Then, a large wormhole with brilliant lights flashing around it slowly emerged, and three starships of different sizes and the distant [Gaia] quickly squeezed into it.

Swish!
The light dimmed and the wormhole disappeared.

The bustling starry sky has returned to its former tranquility.

……

Nameless and empty.

A dilapidated fleet quietly hangs in the dark and deep universe.

The surroundings are extremely empty, and there is almost no matter except some extremely thin interstellar matter.

The starlight coming from afar also seems extremely dim after a long journey.

A soft fluorescent light seeped out from this fleet that had experienced a shocking battle, struggling to dispel the darkness of the starry sky.

suddenly!

Accompanied by strong space-time fluctuations and colorful wormholes, a bright and beautiful small fleet consisting of three starships appeared out of thin air in the starry sky.

Behind these three small starships, a completely khaki planet was struggling to squeeze out of the wormhole.

hum... hum...

The ghost fleet that had been stationary began to move again. The soft light inside the fleet flickered rapidly for a while, and then...

The ghost fleet once again disappeared into the visible universe without any warning.

at the same time.

In the cockpit of the Varela, Chen Fan was looking at the afterimage left by the sudden disappearance of the ghost fleet with a confused look on his face: "...Huh?!"

"Bros?!"

Just as Chen Fan was feeling confused, a row of interstellar coordinates in a standard format appeared again on the holographic panel above the main console.

Obviously, this is the meaning of the flash before the ghost fleet left, and this coordinate is undoubtedly the next destination.

The coordinates were quickly locked onto the star map nearby - it was also a small macroscopic void, about 500,000 light years away.

"no……"

Chen Fan was amused by this miraculous operation: "...What are you doing?!"

If you don't have the time to think about it, why not just state the final destination?

Is it necessary to go around in circles like this?
Just imagine:
They returned from the node universe to the stargate universe, and then from the stargate universe to the node universe. They finally arrived at this void, but the ghost fleet disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving them only the next coordinate point. Who can stand this!
——Well, for three conventional starships, this process is not difficult, but for [Gaia], this operation is tantamount to taking away half of his... life.

"cough……"

Chen Fan coughed lightly, and looked at Gaia, who had already squeezed out half of his body, with a strange expression: "Gaia, um, there is something I need to discuss with you..."

"What?" Gaia was concentrating on struggling with the wormhole of the perfect size. "Brother, I'm not saying this, but this wormhole is too small. When can you tell the panda to make the wormhole a little bigger? Just a little bit will do. If it continues like this, I feel like my body will be deformed. Brother, you don't want to see my perfect body turn into an ugly ellipsoid, do you?"

Ellipsoid?
That should be impossible. After all, the wormhole is a fairly standard sphere. At most, it would just force Gaia to lose weight...

Chen Fan moved his lips and suppressed the urge to complain in his heart.

He coughed hard again, interrupting Gaia's words: "Cough! Um..."

"The ghost fleet has disappeared again. You may have to go back in..."

[Gaia] paused: "Huh?!!"

……

time flies.

The light of star gates and wormholes continued to emerge in the vast universe, and Chen Fan and his fleet continued to flash in every corner of the universe.

of course.

Gaia's figure did not continue to appear. At this time, he had shrunk into the Star Gate Universe, waiting for the ghost fleet to arrive at its final destination.

Once, twice, three times...

As the number of shuttle times increased, Chen Fan gradually realized the pattern behind the coordinates of the ghost fleet - all the coordinates were located within a hollow structure of a certain size in the node universe.

"Hollow..."

Chen Fan murmured in a low voice.

If the destination of the ghost fleet is the many voids in the node universe, then the other party's destination seems to be very clear.

Chen Fan raised his head and looked at the node universe star map above the main console.

In the center of the star map, there is a huge gap - the great void in the center of the universe, the base of the [Su Zheng] fleet, and also the place where the starry sky Zerg mentioned by [Su Zheng] appeared!

Furthermore, it is the location where there is a macroscopic channel to the anti-universe in zero speculation!
really! !
The moment Chen Fan's fleet left the star gate wormhole again, the ghost fleet sent the last coordinates before it disappeared.

It was the core area of ​​the central void!
only……

What is the purpose of those previous coordinates?

Chen Fan looked at the light red scattered coordinate points in the star map that almost surrounded the entire node universe, and some confusion appeared in his eyes.

Regarding this question, not only Chen Fan and his two assistants, but even Academician Wang Jing in the research vessel felt a little confused.

"The test results show that there is nothing abnormal about these medium-sized cavities!"

Wang Jing's murmur came from the communication channel: "If I have to say what the similarities are..."

"It may be that there are a certain number and size of black holes in these voids."

Chen Fan's eyes shone, and he repeated in a low voice: "Black hole?!"

Wang Jing sighed and didn't care about this factor: "Yes, black hole."

"This is not uncommon, especially in this universe. Considering the factors of [Rectification] activities, the existence of black holes in voids is almost normal."

Chen Fan nodded silently and sent the last message to Mochi, who was far away in the Star Gate Universe and was patiently adjusting the Star Gate parameters for them.

"Anyway, now that we are here, we have to see what the ghost fleet is up to!"

……

Node universe, the core area of ​​the central void.

The huge black hole is operating here silently, swallowing up every ray of starlight coming from far away.

Not only the starlight, but even those mechanical creations left over from [Su Zheng] that were closer could not escape its devouring!
Swish!
Ever since [Su Zheng] was wiped out, this uninhabited star region full of ruins and debris has once again seen the appearance of glittering wormholes.

The khaki-colored Varela was the first to jump out of the wormhole, looking from afar at the ghost fleet not far away.

Unlike before, this time, the ghost fleet did not continue to disappear, but quietly docked beside the black hole waiting for Chen Fan.

After sensing Chen Fan's appearance, the ghost fleet began to flash again.

Yi actively imported this information into the translation program and quickly completed the deciphering work.

【Come!!!】

A solitary word appeared again on the holographic panel.

The slight difference from the previous time is that this time, the other party added three exclamation marks after the text.

Before Chen Fan could react, the ghost fleet floated silently towards the giant black hole.

Wow! !

As Isa cried out, the ghost fleet, with light flashing all around it, suddenly disappeared into the black hole.

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone fell silent at the same time.

【Come!!!】

The starry sky returned to tranquility, and only the lonely words on the holographic panel proved what had just happened.
