Chapter 77 The Light Pillar Illuminating Space
An asteroid floating in the universe with a diameter of less than ten kilometers.
A robot is controlling a huge gun barrel that is more than fifty meters long.
The energy supply lines around the gun barrel dimly lit up, revealing lines full of science fiction.
The muzzle of the gun, which is fully ten meters in diameter, shines with extremely dazzling light.
However, this happens to be a depression on the surface of the asteroid, and the muzzle is completely blocked. This bright light can only be seen at a specific angle.
At this moment, in a silver-gray spaceship in the distance, a group of people had no idea about this and were still chatting with each other.
"Captain, do you think we can find some valuable goods this time?"
"That is, after spending more than two years in this spaceship, even if we can land in the virtual universe, it will be too much. It’s boring. After working for so long, it’s okay if you don’t get much. It’s such a loss.”
“I heard that this ‘Lost Star Area’ was once the territory of a big shot, and maybe there will be some treasures left behind. When the time comes, the captain will take the bulk, and we’ll share it. Drink the soup and you will be worry-free for the rest of your life!”
Each adventurer is thinking about the future harvest.
For adventurers, there are great risks in exploring indigenous planets.
Some indigenous planets may be technologically backward, but they may have powerful people.
In history, there are many examples of adventure teams who discovered indigenous planets, but were killed by the strong indigenous people on the planet.
But there are still countless adventurers who come one after another, because as long as they discover an indigenous planet, they can get huge profits.
If there are some valuable treasures on the planet, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
"Okay, we are not far from the target. Please be alert!" The handsome captain suddenly interrupted everyone's chat and said seriously: "Everyone, it's almost time for us to collect the fruits of victory. time. However, the more times this happens, the more we cannot take it lightly! After all, this is a planet that was once ruled by an invincible power, and we know almost nothing about it!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Understood, Captain!"
“Captain, don’t worry, we won’t be careless.”
All the crew members responded one after another.
A thin crew member also chimed in: "How could the boat capsize in the ditch? We are..."
But he hadn't finished his words yet.
Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light flew from a distance and hit the spacecraft flying at nearly the speed of light.
The outer armor of the spacecraft did not play any protective role and was melted through in an instant.
The next moment, the beam of light swept across the interior of the spacecraft. None of the crew members reacted at all, and they turned into nothingness under the extreme heat.
The white beam of light was extremely dazzling. After sweeping across the spacecraft, it continued straight forward, shooting into the distant starry sky, and quickly disappeared.
A spacecraft that was penetrated from front to back has lost all power, but under the influence of inertia, it still sails along the previous route, but the speed has dropped a lot.
Whoosh~!
A figure flew out of the spaceship, and it was the handsome captain.
Half of the captain's body was wiped by the beam of light, and the right side of his chest, shoulder, and even his entire arm had disappeared, leaving behind black marks that were burned to carbon by high temperatures.
Even if he is a star-level expert, such an injury will cost him most of his life.
If you don’t get timely treatment, you may even die.
But now, the captain from the Nuolanshan family did not care about his injuries. He looked frightened and screamed in disbelief: "Laser cannon? At least a C-level laser cannon. ? ! Why is there such a thing here! ”
The level of the laser cannon is certainly not low if it can destroy his C5-class spaceship with one strike.
Even if this spaceship is just an ordinary flagship model and has no special defense enhancements, it would still require a C-level or higher laser cannon to penetrate it.
And it penetrated the entire spacecraft instantly, leaving the people inside the spacecraft with no time to react. The laser cannon must be at least C5 or above!
Weapons of this level, even in the universe, are very expensive. How could they appear near a mere indigenous planet? !
The captain knew that he had almost no chance of survival.
The spaceship was destroyed and he was seriously injured. Do you want to return to your family by flying in the universe? It's simply impossible.
The captain subconsciously wanted to inform his family about what happened here, but when he tried to raise his right hand, he realized that his optical brain, along with the right half of his body, had been destroyed by the laser cannon.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for an intuition honed by long-term life and death adventures that allowed the captain to duck before the laser cannon attacked, he wouldn’t have even had the chance to be seriously injured and would have died in an instant from the laser cannon. under artillery attack.
The instant dodge failed to allow him to avoid the laser cannon's attack range, but at least he saved his life.
However, this may not be good news.
Just as the captain was thinking whether he should surrender or find a way to escape, a spaceship flew from a distance and stopped in the void around him.
Twelve mechas that were hundreds of meters high walked out of the cabin, raised their left arms, and pointed at the captain to reveal their fully charged laser cannons.
B6-level laser cannon poses no threat to C-level spacecraft.
But it is more than enough to kill a star-level warrior and a seriously injured star-level warrior.
The captain looked horrified and shouted quickly: "Don't kill me, I surrender!"
Twelve 'Goliath Giants' did not make any response. Under Si's control, the laser cannon was activated.
Twelve beams of light instantly annihilated the captain.
Then, twelve mechas quickly flew towards the downed spacecraft, carefully inspected it, and after confirming that no one was left alive, they blew up the entire spacecraft.
The Nuolanshan family adventure team was completely destroyed!
The third interception was of no use at all.
——
On Earth, Jiang Chen received the news from Jarvis and informed Luo Feng of the 'good news'.
“They didn’t spread the news, right?”
Luo Feng was a little uneasy.
"Probably not, but I'm not 100% sure." Jiang Chen shook his head.
After inspection by the 'Goliath Giant', all other lives in the spacecraft were destroyed by the first round of laser cannon attacks. The intelligence of the spacecraft was also destroyed at that moment. There was no possibility of any news. opportunity.
But even Jarvis couldn't accurately judge whether the communication equipment on the seriously injured man was still intact.
Looking at Luo Feng, Jiang Chen said: "We have to prepare for the worst case scenario. Assuming that he has spread the news, maybe there will be a more powerful cosmic adventure in a few years. Before that, we must have enough strength to ensure the safety of the earth.”——
Although this time the crisis was resolved smoothly, neither Jiang Chen nor Luo Feng couldn't completely relax.
Luo Feng even put aside his cultivation and ran to the South American base to find Jiang Chen for an interview.
"I asked Babata that the space secrets left by the teacher are definitely not something that ordinary people can decipher. These people should have found a natural wormhole leading to the vicinity of the solar system."
Luo Feng's first sentence Jiang Chen was slightly surprised by his words.
In the original work, Luo Feng captured these people alive, so it is not surprising to know about the 'natural wormhole'.
But now, this adventure team was completely wiped out before they even got close to the earth. Just in case, Jiang Chen even blew up their spaceship, leaving no clues at all.
In this situation, it is indeed rare to be able to guess how these people arrived on Earth.
"This natural wormhole should not be too far from the solar system. I will let Jarvis look for it. However, the universe is so big, it may not be possible to find it." Jiang Chen did not have much hope for this matter.
Without large-scale detection equipment, it would be too difficult to find something in the vast starry sky.
As for detection equipment with a range as large as light years, the price is definitely not something Jiang Chen and Luo Feng can afford.
"The most critical thing is the earth. What if the next wave of adventurers comes to the earth in the future, and they are strong ones that we can't deal with?" Luo Feng asked anxiously.
"Now we have no choice but to improve our strength." Jiang Chen shook his head and said pointedly: "As long as your earthly clone reaches the star level, let alone once and for all. At least for a short time, the earth will be safe.”
"Star level? Why does it have to be a clone of an Earthling?" Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "You mean the legacy left by the teacher can solve the crisis of the Earth?"
According to Baba According to Ta, if you reach the stellar level, you will be able to obtain the first legacy left by Hu Yanbo.
But it is definitely impossible to get it with the golden-horned giant beast. It must be a clone of an earthling.
"If there is any solution, it can only be this. If your teacher leaves you a enough legacy, whether it is buying powerful slaves, powerful weapons, or directly letting you Becoming the Lord of the Earth will ensure that the Earth will not be invaded, even if it happens to me. If you can't resist the enemy, you can also buy another life planet and transfer the people on earth to survive."
Jiang Chen reminded: "Your focus now must be on cultivation. No matter what, your own strength is the most important.”
Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with Babata."
After sending Luo Feng away, Jiang Chen's consciousness returned to the third floor of the system library and picked up a book Continue reading "Element of Wind - Basics of Wind Laws".
During this period of time, Jiang Chen has already consolidated most of the foundations of 'arcane technology' and met the requirements for reading 'law books'.
As for the law of wind, Jiang Chen was the first to start studying it.
There is no special reason, it is simply because Jiang Chen's own force attribute is biased towards the 'wind' attribute.
Generally speaking, it will be easier to study the corresponding rules according to which system your own Force attributes are biased towards.
Of course, Jiang Chen has no way of judging whether the 'law of elements' in the system library and the law of swallowing the starry sky world are the same thing.
Jiang Chen himself prefers that there should be a certain connection between the two, but they are not exactly the same.
The reason is also very simple. There are only six "elemental laws" in the third-level system library.
Earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness.
In most magical worlds, there are six 'basic elements' that people think of as making up the world.
It is different from the eight lower laws of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and light that swallow up the starry sky world, plus the two upper laws of time and space.
However, we can also find places where the two correspond to each other.
Earth, fire, water and wind, not to mention, the sum of light and darkness made Jiang Chen intuitively feel that the two must have some connection with the law of light.
However, Jiang Chen knew that he was not able to explore the specific differences now, and he was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.
First study the 'Wind Element Law', and after making some achievements, then compare it with the 'Wind Element Law' of the Devouring Star World to see if there is any difference, and many doubts will naturally be answered.
——
“In ancient times, the beings who were born together with the world and controlled the most essential power of the world were called ‘gods’.”
“Gods are born Powerful and unusually intelligent, he naturally understands all the laws of the world and all its secrets. You can't escape their eyes."
"But as the world's structure gradually improves, the shortcuts to study the underlying rules and laws of the world disappear. Some of the beings born later are strong and some are weak, but none of them are. Exceptions, no one can master the most powerful power in the world: the law.”
"There are beings who discovered traces of gods and were impressed by the power of gods, so they worshiped and prayed to them."
"Most gods didn't care about this, but some gods found it interesting and responded. "These prayers of life"
"Among them, there is a god who simplifies the complicated laws that ordinary life cannot understand. , created the concept of 'magic'."
"Through 'magic', people do not need to understand the nature of the law, they only need to learn how to use the power of elements."
"But. There are also wise men among weak beings. They use magic to use elements, then analyze the elements, and finally control the elements.”
"Even by controlling the rules of the operation of elements, reaching or even surpassing the level of 'gods'!"
"These wise men are called: Arcanists."
——
The first paragraph of the chapter does not explain the elemental law itself, but an irrelevant 'legend'.
Perhaps it is a parallel world, or it may be history that occurs in many worlds.
This is not a long record, but it makes Jiang Chen feel like he is in a great era. Under the blessing of the gods, a group of weak creatures gained extraordinary power. Step by step, they traced their origins, controlled their extraordinary essence, and even... In the end, he transcended the gods.
The following content is not the 'essence of the law' as Jiang Chen imagined, but a large number of 'magic' casting methods from shallow to deep.
That is, in the record at the beginning, it was given by the gods, with the help of special rituals, spells, etc., and the means of borrowing the power of elements without knowing anything about the laws.
However, it may be the specialness of the system library, or the blessing of expertise, or it may even be a problem with the book itself.
In the process of reading these incantations and rituals, Jiang Chen gradually gained a clear concept of the existence of 'wind'.
Not the wind in nature, but one of the basic elements that make up the world, the element of wind, and the laws it represents.
Just when Jiang Chen was immersed in the library, he was in the real world.
Suddenly, boom~!
A stream of cyan light erupted from Jiang Chen's body and spread quickly, covering the entire base.
