Chapter 588 Target: Central Singularity!
Lin Yang raised his head somewhat stiffly and cast an incredulous look at Chief Lu who had just walked up to him.

Although there is only a difference of one word, the meanings are completely different!
"Chief Lu, what you mean is..."

Lin Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Any substance actually has the dual nature of reality and illusion?"

"I'm just guessing."

Chief Lu frowned and said, "But at present, perhaps this is the only way to perfectly explain the various contradictions in the expedition fleet."

"I guess the so-called virtual-real duality is like a pendulum. In the main space, it is more inclined to the real side, that is, the material side, and in the subspace, it is more inclined to the virtual side, which we can call the information side."

"As for the singularity... this bridge that runs through the main space and the subspace, to put it bluntly, is actually a natural converter that applies thrust to the pendulum."

Lin Yang fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as Chief Lu said, after the fleet approached the singularity, the "virtual" side of the duality of reality and virtuality emerged, and the fleet was able to perform coordinate jumps.

After the fleet leaves the subspace and moves away from the singularity, the duality of reality and illusion will disappear again, and the fleet will return to its original state.

At the same time, if matter itself possesses the duality of reality and virtuality, but it does not manifest itself for some reason, the paradoxical phenomenon that there is no abnormal change when the expedition fleet approaches the singularity is also perfectly explained - the so-called duality of reality and virtuality is the nature of the fleet itself, and naturally will not have any impact on the normal navigation of the fleet.

For example.

Just like the most common water, from solid ice to liquid water, and then to gaseous water vapor, the water molecules themselves will not change at all. The only thing that changes is the distance and arrangement between molecules. The fundamental reason that drives this change is actually the change in external temperature, or energy.

Corresponding to the expedition fleet, the fleet itself is the unchanging water molecule; the deviation direction of the duality of reality and virtuality is the molecular spacing and arrangement; as for the singularity... it is actually the source of energy that drives this special change.

"I seem to understand."

Lin Yang nodded thoughtfully: "According to this statement, as long as we find a black hole and get close to the singularity, we can enter the subspace..."

"not that simple."

Chief Lu glanced at Lin Yang and interrupted him: "Don't forget, kid, the matter swallowed by the black hole is countless, but there is only a large amount of scattered information flow in the subspace."

It was like being poured with a bucket of cold water. Lin Yang's originally excited expression suddenly froze on his face.

"If there are no buffers or protective measures, the power of the singularity converter is enough to completely push the 'pendulum' of virtual-real duality to the information side, that is, to transform matter into a pure flow of information."

Chief Lu's voice continued: "The expeditionary fleet was able to succeed at that time, probably thanks to the time technology of the Apophis giant scorpion."

"But we have neither time technology nor perfect coordinate jump technology..."

Under Lin Yang's gaze, Chief Lu slowly shook his head: "So, if we want to verify this hypothesis in a short period of time, it may be a bit difficult..."

"drop!"

Before he finished speaking, a clear reminder sounded, and a new line of text information appeared on the holographic interface.

Chief Lu subconsciously looked up at the message coming from several quadrants away. The moment he saw the content clearly, his frown relaxed.

"Well, I think we should stop worrying about this."

He pointed at the words on the holographic interface and said, "Chen Fan noticed the real effect of the singularity before us, and has already entered the experimental stage."

Lin Yang stared blankly at the extremely simple text, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

[The fleet is about to approach the black hole, in an attempt to reactivate the duality of reality and virtuality and achieve coordinate transition.]

"But, but they don't have time technology either!"

Lin Yang suddenly came back to his senses: "What if the expeditionary fleet is completely pushed to the information side..."

Chief Lu was slightly stunned, and his expression became serious.

Oops!

There was no mention of time technology in the report information sent back by the expedition fleet!

Without hesitation, he quickly compiled a message and pressed the send button.

……

Quadrant [28].

The fleet docked silently beside the black hole, as if waiting for something.

just now.

As a stream of fuzzy information that had been encrypted layer by layer roared over, the fleet narrowly stopped its forward momentum at the moment it was about to approach the black hole.

"…Maybe we need corresponding time technology to provide a buffer, to ensure that the fleet is not completely pushed to the information side by the singularity?"

Looking at the information he received not long ago from the Human Union Academy of Sciences, Chen Fan subconsciously frowned.

"This is troublesome..."

He knew that the Academy of Sciences' speculation was most likely correct.

After all, when the fleet entered the singularity information bridge, the entire singularity was indeed enveloped by a strange force field unique to time crystals.

but……

In this remote area where there is no village or shop nearby, and in the mother universe of the Apophis scorpion, where can he find the time technology to buffer the singularity?
You can't just catch a bunch of giant scorpions on the spot and use them as free labor, right?

This is really a disregard for the Apophis scorpion!

"Mr. Chen Fan?"

Fang Yunsheng's uneasy voice came from the communication channel: "We...what should the fleet do now?"

Faced with this completely unknown situation where past experience was of no use at all, Fang Yunsheng, the fleet commander, could not help but show a look of confusion on his face.

Chen Fan was silent.

Looking at the black hole that was so close and madly devouring the surrounding nebula matter, his anxiety gradually grew.

The fleet can wait, and even take its time to think of a solution.

but……

I'm afraid the People's Union can't wait any longer.

Although the Academy of Sciences did not subsequently report any news from the front battlefield to them, it can be imagined that with every minute of delay, the risk of the universe falling will increase!
"……keep going."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Follow the original route and continue to approach the target black hole."

Fang Yunsheng's expression changed slightly: "Then the Academy of Sciences..."

"What the Academy of Sciences proposed is just a conjecture without experimental support." Chen Fan interrupted Fang Yunsheng, "I still need to verify my conjecture."

He thought for a moment and added, "Slow down your speed as much as possible and follow my orders when the time comes."

"……I see."

Perhaps aware of the danger the fleet might face, Fang Yunsheng nodded with an unusually solemn expression, and then glanced at his colleagues around him with bloodshot eyes: "Notify the fleet to increase the engine output power to the maximum!"

"keep going!"

The moment the order was given, the stationary fleet began to sail forward again.

However, compared with the previous reckless momentum, the fleet's sailing speed this time was obviously much slower!
……

"problem occurs!"

"The expeditionary fleet is still advancing!"

Inside the Central Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences, Lin Yang's expression, which had just relaxed, changed again as he looked at the fleet information displayed on the holographic interface.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Chief Lu beside him: "Chief, this..."

Chief Lu did not reply, but frowned and focused on the coordinate parameters that were starting to change again.

'perhaps……'

A thought flashed through his mind: 'Does Chen Fan have a way to solve this problem?'

Thinking of this, under Lin Yang's gaze, he said softly: "Let's wait and see."

Seeing that Lin Yang was about to say something, Chief Lu raised his hand to interrupt him. "I believe Chen Fan."

have to.

What else can he say?

Seeing this, Lin Yang could only sigh heavily, then turned his head again to look at the coordinate parameters in the holographic interface that had obvious delays and lags.

"I hope so..."

He murmured quietly.

……

The edge of the event horizon.

In this area, the gravitational force of the black hole has become extremely strong. If it moves one step further, not even light can escape the black hole's bondage.

Relying on the powerful performance of the Genesis Fortress and the fleet itself, the fleet still maintained its original speed and slowly approached the singularity inside the black hole. However, the golden barrier around the fleet showed obvious signs of deformation.

Chen Fan, who entered the "battery compartment" of the Genesis Fortress in advance, relied on a stream of information he captured casually to carefully feel the changes in the fleet's coordinate parameters.

Nothing unusual.

Just like before, the fleet's coordinate parameters seemed to be welded. No matter how he manipulated the information stream in his hand, there was no sign of any change in this string of parameters.

"The fleet...is about to touch the event horizon!"

A stream of information whistled in from the fleet's flagship: "Should we continue moving forward?"

"continue."

Chen Fan responded without changing his expression.

Looking at the information that popped up on the holographic interface, Fang Yunsheng could only harden his heart and turned to look at the officers: "Keep moving forward!!"

Swish!
The fleet silently sank into the deep event horizon.

Without the presence of the Apophis scorpion, the event horizon is almost completely dark.

Apart from the ring of bright stars that resembles the one in a fish-eye lens, there is only a faint gray dot that does not conform to the laws of perspective.

Looking at the scene outside the porthole, Fang Yunsheng subconsciously held his breath - although he had experienced such a situation before, this time, he still felt a sense of panic as if he was exiled from the world.

At this moment, a slight fluctuation appeared on Chen Fan's calm face.

“It’s loose!!”

After entering the event horizon, the fleet's coordinate parameters showed signs of loosening!
His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he whispered, "My guess was correct!"

"Lao Fang, hurry up! Keep moving forward!!"

He sent a message to the fleet flagship.

Looking at the words appearing in the holographic interface, Fang Yunsheng, who had originally looked nervous, suddenly had a bright look in front of his eyes.

Loose coordinates?

Any drama? !
So what are you waiting for?
Just do it!

boom! ! !
Under Fang Yunsheng's command, the fleet's forward speed suddenly increased, rushing straight towards the singularity ahead!
Creak, creak...

As the distance got closer, the gravitational force experienced by the fleet suddenly increased.

Even the strength of the Human Alliance battleship made a terrifying creaking sound at this moment.

【warn! 】

A bright red warning message popped up automatically in the holographic interface: [Damage to the ship's structure detected, current damage level: 5%.]

【10%. 】

【15%. 】

Seeing the numbers in the warning pop-up window begin to soar rapidly, Fang Yunsheng's face changed.

"Chen Fan!!"

He shouted in a distorted voice: "The battleship can't hold on any longer!!"

……

the other side.

Chen Fan, who existed as a conscious being, naturally did not hear Fang Yunsheng's shout.

Just like before, he silently controlled the information flow and carefully felt the coordinate parameters that were gradually loosening - perhaps because of the distance from the singularity, the coordinate parameters were not loosening very quickly.

Almost.

Just one last bit!

Feeling the vague resistance that had not disappeared for a long time, Chen Fan couldn't help feeling a little irritated and uneasy.

Things have developed to this point, and the fleet has no way out.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

suddenly!

In Chen Fan's slightly widened eyes, it was as if he had crossed a threshold, and the speed at which the coordinate parameters loosened began to increase rapidly! !
But in the blink of an eye, the slight resistance disappeared quietly.

It's now!

Almost subconsciously, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all, directly controlling the information flow that had been prepared long ago, and fiercely adjusted the coordinate parameters of the fleet.

Wow! ! !
As the zero-point energy in the body poured out like water released from a floodgate, the dark and deep world before his eyes turned into an abstract picture outlined by lines at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

The sketch-style image did not last long.

In just a blink of an eye, the world returned to its ultimate color.

Feeling the fleet coordinate parameters that had undergone earth-shaking changes and the coordinate modification resistance that had returned to normal, he finally let go of his heart that was hanging in the air and breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Success..."

As soon as he thought about it, he quickly adjusted his own coordinate parameters and returned to the Gaia planetary fortress.

Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the porthole beside him.

It was a completely unfamiliar and chaotic star field.

"Chen Fan! The coordinate jump was successful!!"

Fang Yunsheng's relieved voice was heard in the communication channel.

On the holographic interface nearby, the number indicating the extent of damage to the ship's structure remained at 25%.

Chen Fan endured the slight dizziness coming from his mind and roughly calculated the distance covered by this coordinate jump.

"There are less than a hundred standard spans..."

A hint of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Compared with the super jump in the subspace that can easily reach hundreds of thousands of standard spans, the distance of this coordinate jump is really too short.

“It’s already pretty good!”

Fang Yunsheng's mentality was obviously much better than Chen Fan's. He happily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "So, if we do another hundred coordinate jumps, we can directly reach the central singularity area!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Another hundred coordinate jumps...

It really hurts my back to stand and talk!
