Dimensional Swordsman

Chapter 242 The Shadow

Coming out of the shadow universe, Ding He inspected the damage of the Aurora.The facts were more serious than he had imagined. Not only was the energy source almost exhausted, but even the shell had several cracks. The folding space was expanding, and soon it would not be able to maintain its current shape.

Because in the shadow universe, the Aurora is in the position of the shadow council, so after it comes out, it is also in the same place in the real universe.

In other words, this is the center of the universe... At least, it used to be!
Ding He opened the door of the Aurora. Since the detector became a little insensitive, he thought it would be more convenient to use the naked eye.

Outside, it is located in the real universe, the star field where the Shadow Council is located.From Ding He's point of view in this starry sky, some star positions are very familiar, but there are still a large part of them that have not been seen at all.

Therefore, this place is obviously not within the scope of the Milky Way, and the wormhole opened by the Aurora can only span the distance of the Milky Way, and cannot sail across the galaxy.

And this is not the shadow universe, Ding He can't use the shadow jump similar to cheating, and instantly span the distance of billions of light years.

"Then, we have to search first to see if there are any surviving spaceships."

Ding He smiled bitterly. Now that the Aurora's shell is damaged and its energy is almost exhausted, even if the engine can jump to the Milky Way, he has no way to open the wormhole.

Press a button, Ding He closes the space and folds, allowing the Aurora to restore its original appearance.

A circle with a standard earthen aesthetic, with some graceful arcs.

However, Aurora is not a solid circle.Even from the appearance point of view, it is not a standard shape.The reason why it is built like this is to better assemble and save space, and the other is to make the folding space easier to calculate and increase the stability of the space.

The Aurora suddenly expanded from a small pavilion with a size of three meters to a circle with a diameter of 300 meters.In the void of the universe, there is no substance blocking the expansion of the spacecraft, so as if by magic, or like a weird duplication, the Aurora suddenly became a large scientific research spacecraft with a diameter of 300 meters.

Looking from top to bottom, the entire Aurora is a slightly protruding circle.In this circle, there are countless small rooms connected by pipelines to form a whole.Some are like necklaces of pearls wrapped around the table, shining in every room.

And from the bottom, the Aurora still has the same shape, like an identical reflection, even the location of the room is the same, there is no difference.

On the whole, the Aurora is an oblate spaceship with slightly bulging top and bottom.If it wasn't for the need for space folding, if the entire spaceship is composed of countless small rooms, this spaceship should be a beautiful and dazzling...

In the most central control room of the Aurora, Ding He shook his head helplessly. The remaining energy could no longer allow him to jump in space, and could only maintain the most basic system operation.And there are no planets around here, and even the nearest star is at least fifty light-years away.

Such a long distance, if only flying at sub-light speed, I am afraid that the business alliance has already reached its goal.

But even so, Ding He also turned on the sub-light speed engine and flew towards the nearest star.It's not the last moment yet, and Ding He is of course unwilling to give up. If he gives up this parallel universe, it will take at least 100 years to choose another suitable one.

Dinghe can wait, but the earth cannot wait!
"Fix the communication device first."

Ding He opened the back door of the control room and walked towards the communicator.There are two types of communication devices installed on the Aurora. One is a technology similar to the principle of teleportation, which uses atomic entanglement to transmit data point-to-point.However, the cost of this transmission method is very high, and the manufacture of one machine can only transmit data to another same machine.At that time, the people on Earth made this machine because Zhong Bei said that it was the best way to connect with the humans in the parallel universe, because there was also a similar device there.

The other communicator is a two-dimensional space transmission device.In two-dimensional space, although creatures in three-dimensional space cannot enter, communication waves can successfully enter.And because the two-dimensional space is inseparable from the universe, but it is simplified countless times, the transmission speed is very fast.According to calculations, if the two-dimensional space communication device transmits information at both ends of the Milky Way, the delay will only be about five seconds at most.Such a short delay time can be regarded as almost no delay.And this communication device, in the two-dimensional space, theoretically will not attenuate, so if it does not receive the signal, it will shuttle back and forth throughout the universe until someone accepts it.

After thinking for a while, Ding He chose to build a simple two-dimensional space transmission device first.

Most of the high energy input equipment has been shorted due to wiring faults, resulting in partial damage.Ding He didn't carry many spare parts, so he selected important equipment for maintenance first.

After using a sonic screwdriver to determine the fault location, Ding He took out the parts from his pocket and replaced them.Ding He is not good at maintenance, so simply replacing it directly saves time.

After 10 minutes, the communication equipment returned to normal. Ding He used a special code to send a message in two-dimensional space, asking for help from civilizations that might exist nearby.If these civilizations were once part of the shadow universe, then they could analyze the meaning of this message and send spaceships here.

Then, Ding He repaired the damaged equipment one by one, and the process was roughly the same.First use a sonic screwdriver to determine the location of the fault, then remove the relevant parts, replace them with new ones and finish debugging.

And the parts contained in Dinghe's four-dimensional space pocket are naturally reduced one by one.When he repaired the fifth outer layer detector, he finally found that the parts on his body had been used up and there was nothing left to spare.

Fortunately, at this time, the main equipment of the Aurora has been repaired, and six detectors are working normally. There is no serious problem if a few detectors and other unimportant equipment are missing.

"Okay, that's the only way to go now. If no one comes over after three days, we can only count on Li Wen to come back." Ding He accelerated the sub-light speed engine again and flew forward.It's not that he doesn't want to fly faster than the speed of light now, but because of the lack of energy, the Aurora can no longer enter the warp speed, and can only move forward slowly at sub-light speed.

Ding He returned to the control room, it was still the same as before, but the original exit was no longer the door to the spaceship, but an elevator.Ding He found a sofa, put on a pair of glasses connected to an outer detector, lay on his back, quietly looked at the empty starry sky, dazed.

Ding He now naturally doesn't know that his distress message sent to the two-dimensional space was immediately intercepted when it was sent out.

The spacecraft that intercepted this message was quietly following the Aurora one hundred light seconds away, advancing at the same speed.

If you look carefully, this looming spaceship is a cruiser with a unique shape.Judging from the aesthetics of the modern universe, this spaceship looks a little old, very old.

On the body of the T-shaped battleship, a line of black characters can be vaguely seen.If it is translated into a language that Ding He can understand, that is exactly the name of this spaceship——

Shadow!
