Chapter 140 The weird black hole
It is worth mentioning that there is also a pioneer version of the battleship, called the Dreadnought Battleship, which requires both a battleship mother chip and a Dreadnought flagship mother chip to start reverse derivation, which is an outrageous requirement.
But its combat effectiveness is also outrageous, because the dreadnought battleship combines the powerful combat effectiveness of the dreadnought flagship with the universality of the battleship, and is not as difficult to build as the dreadnought flagship.
The Dreadnaught battleship combines the advantages of the battleship and the Dreadnought flagship, eliminating the disadvantages. It has shields, armor and weapon slots that far exceed those of the Lord-class battleship, but it does not have the T-slot doomsday weapon of the Dreadnought. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a ship without T-slots. A shrunken version of the dreadnought equipped with doomsday weapons, its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary battleships.
From here, it seems that it is not too strong.
However, this fearless battleship is easy to build and can be popularized on a large scale like a battleship.
There are only a few dozen dreadnoughts in a legion-level super fleet, but there are tens of thousands of battleships. If all these tens of thousands of battleships are replaced by dreadnought battleships, with the same number, the combat effectiveness can increase more than ten times.
So.
“We still need the mother chip!”
Li Qing rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. When Ye Xuandong and his son are caught this time, and Nantian Ye pays compensation, can he ask for two mother chips to try?
It doesn’t matter if it’s not, but if it’s coming, wouldn’t it save a lot of time?
In two months, he obtained two new Servant of Light initiation quotas. He initiated the last two snakemen with battleship chief engineer qualifications into servants of light, so that he had two flagship chief engineers and ten battleships. Chief Engineer can build two flagships and a hundred battleships at the same time.
As the team of Servants of Light grows, Li Qing's strength grows faster and faster. The only thing that limits him now is time. As long as there is enough time, it is easy to accumulate a force that can sweep all the players in the outpost. strength.
"So where did they go?"
There was no news for several months, and Li Qing once felt that Ye Xuandong and the others had run home from somewhere.
But in the third month of his departure, he received an inquiry message from Yu Qingzhi. Some information about the outpost sent by Yu Yuefei confirmed that they had not gone back at all and must still be deep in the Zutar Nebula. at.
"It's quite hidden."
Li Qing calmed down and continued to wait patiently.
Another month passed. He routinely entered the universe in his palm and prepared to enlighten another servant of light. When he was flying past a large laboratory in the scientific research area, he suddenly saw a huge metal tentacle extending from the corner of the laboratory.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly flew over and saw a familiar mechanical ascension combat body lying in the underground experimental base of this large laboratory.
It was the octopus-like mechanical ascension battle body that the Servant of Light Blue Bird once had. She dragged it back at some point and then messed around with it for who knows what.
He looked at it curiously for a while. She seemed to be transforming the mechanical ascension combat body. One of the mechanical combat body tentacles had been completely disassembled, and then some luminous silk thread materials were wrapped with some kind of insulator, just like wires wrapped inside. Like the optical fiber, he buried it in the disassembled mechanical tentacle, and then carried out some experiments that he couldn't understand.
He asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
Qingniao paused and explained:
"I want to modify my mechanical ascension battle body to see if it can be transformed into a psyker that can also be controlled."
Li Qing shook his head and said:
"This is impossible. Spiritual energy is completely incompatible with machinery. You might as well take the genetic route and make a one-to-one copy of this mechanical ascension battle body, or use genetic technology to modify it and change some of the structures inside to artificial synthetic materials. Artificial materials are intermediate between your psychic and mechanical bodies."
Qingniao was stunned and looked up at Li Qing, who was stunned, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, Li Qing continued:
"There is no conflict between genetic ascension and spiritual ascension. You can try to take the route of genetic ascension. It just so happens that no one here has studied this area yet. You can try to study it. After you have certain achievements in the future, you can create a battle similar to mechanical ascension. The body’s genetic warfare body”
He didn't disturb her meditation, he just gave a suggestion. It was her business whether to do it or not.
There is no problem with this suggestion. Although he has several biological servants of light here, most of whom are studying things related to biology and genes, because there is almost no material for research, there is almost no achievement in this area. One more player. After some research, the efficiency can still be greatly improved.
Genetic ascension is also a very powerful improvement. Although it is not as good as psychic ascension, and its overall combat effectiveness is not as good as mechanical ascension, genetic ascension has the strongest compatibility.
Mechanical ascension is not compatible with either, but genetic ascension is compatible with psychic ascension.
The most important thing is that genetic technology has high potential, especially for our own species.
Genetic adjustment to enhance lifespan is the most basic application. Genes can also be adjusted to make individuals better, stronger, faster, faster, more responsive, with higher IQs, enhanced reproductive capabilities, etc. In theory, genetic technology can be used to create artificial Superman, but that requires very advanced genetic technology.
After spending three and a half months in this galaxy, when Li Qing was doubting his life, good news finally came from Hong Changfeng. A reconnaissance frigate passed through a place deep in the nebula that no one had ever been to before. Traces of the large fleet were discovered in the galaxy. After two rounds of reconnaissance in that galaxy, a hidden reconnaissance outpost was captured. After channel comparison, it was indeed the fleet that escaped.
Li Qing immediately returned all the industrial ships scattered in the asteroid belt to the universe in his hands, and the fleet set off again.
According to the communication, that galaxy is very far away from here. The nearest distance is 368 hops away, and it is more than 500 hops away from the outpost. Based on the average distance of seven or eight light years between star systems, it is nearly 4,000 light years away. Year, has entered the extreme depths of the Zutar star field.
"He who rides on a horse can really run."
Li Qing left many psychic coordinates along the road. If there is an accident, he can return directly through the coordinates.
At the same time, he sent messages to Li Lie and Li Qi in the other two directions to ask them to come back.
After spending more than half a month on the road, they finally arrived at the predetermined location to meet Hong Changfeng. At this time, they had determined the target location, which was in a black hole galaxy.
He was quite surprised when he first heard about it. How did they get into the black hole galaxy? What supplies can be found there to supplement them?
Moreover, the black hole in that galaxy is a black hole with extremely large mass. Not only has it swallowed up all the planets in the galaxy, but the black hole seems to be still moving in the starry sky. According to preliminary data, it shows that its super mass has probably swallowed up many planets. other galaxies.
According to Hong Changfeng's exploration before he came over, as soon as the reconnaissance drone entered the hyperspace channel and entered the opposite side, it was quickly captured by the gravity of the black hole and could not escape.
According to the detection screen, it can be clearly seen that Ye Xuandong's fleet is in the opposite galaxy, parked above the black hole's orbit, slowly circling the black hole, and slowly sliding towards the black hole.
If it cannot break free, it is expected that this fleet will slowly slide into the black hole and be swallowed up in more than ten years.
What surprised Li Qing was that the fleet did not react at all when faced with the pull of the black hole.
Even a frigate, even if it is only equipped with fourth-generation thrusters, can easily escape the gravitational field before being completely captured by gravity. This fleet includes a Titan super flag, and can even forcefully jump away against the gravity of a black hole.
"Have you sent a frigate over to take a look?"
Hong Changfeng shook his head:
"I was afraid of alerting them so I didn't send any. I could only send some unmanned reconnaissance drones disguised as meteorites and deliver them there."
"Hmm"
Li Qing held his chin and remained silent for a while, then said:
"Send a clone over and have a look."
Soon a clone was sitting on a frigate with a predetermined target and sailed to the opposite galaxy.
Five hours later, the frigate returned, with the clones intact.
Through the reconnaissance equipment of the frigate, it can be seen that after the frigate entered the opposite galaxy, it was immediately affected by the strong gravity of the black hole and changed its course. However, after starting the thruster, the frigate easily escaped the gravity of the black hole and returned.
"No problem."
Li Qing rubbed his chin and ordered ten frigates to be sent over again. Then he did not take them back immediately. Instead, he set a return time for these ten frigates, which were 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, etc. There are ten grades in total, and the last return time is one month.
This galaxy looked a little weird, and he didn't dare to be careless.
It was just the right time to wait for Li Lie and Li Qi to arrive.
As time passed, the frigates returned one by one, and there were no changes after inspection. There were no changes in either the warships or the clone crews.
"This is strange."
He thought about it and decided to go and explore it by himself. Anyway, he had the palm universe in his hand, and he could just enter the palm universe immediately when there was a change.
Put all the battleships of Li Lie, Li Qi and others who had arrived into the palm of the universe, and then re-condensed a psychic entity and put it in a battleship. The battleship found a safe place to park in the galaxy, and then Li Qing was alone Drive a battleship through the hyperspace channel and enter the opposite black hole galaxy.
As soon as the battleship passed through the hyperspace channel and entered the opposite galaxy, it immediately felt like it was being captured by the powerful gravity of the black hole.
Through the battleship's sensors, one can clearly see the all-devouring darkness in the center of the galaxy. Beyond the horizon is the dazzling accretion disk. The billowing energy and matter are captured by the black hole's powerful gravity and swallowed into the black hole, disappearing.
At first glance, apart from the large mass of the black hole, there is nothing unusual. Nothing special is seen inside or outside the black hole's event horizon, except for the huge fleet.
It was certain that it was Ye Xuandong's fleet. The model and logo of the spacecraft, as well as the signals sent out, all showed that they were Ye Xuandong and his son who had escaped from the outpost.
But
At this time, this huge fleet is parked quietly in the orbit of the black hole like a ghost fleet, and is slowly sliding towards the black hole's event horizon with the gravity of the black hole.
There was no response. Li Qing tried to send a message, but there was no response.
He tried to send a message to Ye Xiao through the communication, but it showed that he was not in the same galaxy, which meant that Ye Xiao was not in this fleet.
"Where are you going?"
He ordered the warships to stop drifting with the tide and instead take the initiative to sail in the direction of the ghost fleet. However, since they could not enter sublight speed here, they would have to fly for four or five days to get close.
This is a black hole galaxy. The scope of the black hole's gravitational influence is not only the material level, but also the subspace level. If you rush at sub-light speed, you may deviate from the course unknowingly. It may not be that it reaches the end, but it may directly enter the depths of the black hole, or even dive directly into the black hole's horizon and die suddenly on the spot.
Four or five days passed quickly, and the battleship finally approached the target, and the outline of the quietly floating ghost fleet could be seen in the distance.
The battleship is still very new. Although the fleet looks lonely and cold like a ghost fleet, the battleship itself has not changed much, but there seems to be no one inside.
He tried sending a message to the fleet, but still no response.
"Nana, where did they go?"
For some reason, Li Qing felt a little cold.
"Ignore it, collect it and leave."
He stretched out his hand and opened the black hole door in front of the sliding fleet. The ghost fleet slowly slid towards the black hole door along with the inertia.
But at this moment, the black hole horizon in the center of the galaxy suddenly rippled, and an invisible wave swept across. Li Qing, who was collecting the ghost fleet, shuddered fiercely, raised his head suddenly, and his whole body was stunned and motionless.
Almost instantly, Li Qing felt an unimaginable force coming, and then he involuntarily flew out of the battleship and slid towards the center of the black hole at an unimaginable speed.
He quickly realized that he was not flying out, but that his consciousness and soul were being pulled out of his body by some unimaginable force and sliding towards the center of the black hole at super fast speeds.
At this moment, he already knew that Ye Xuandong and the others must have encountered the same situation as him.
Without hesitation, he communicated with the universe in his palm. A black hole appeared behind him and expanded rapidly. The power from the universe in his palm quickly offset the gravity from the black hole, and his figure quickly froze.
At this moment, only ten seconds had passed since his soul was taken out of the body. He had already appeared at the edge of the black hole's event horizon. It was estimated that he was less than 10,000 kilometers away from the event horizon. At this speed, he would have been sucked into it in one second.
"Subspace exists? Still."
Li Qing carefully looked at the horizon of the black hole less than 10,000 kilometers ahead that could swallow his eyes. At this time, he was in the black hole's terrifying accretion disk, where billowing energy and matter poured into the black hole like a waterfall and disappeared.
But at this time, he opened the universe in his palm deep in the accretion disk. The power from the universe in his palm was affecting the gravitational field of the black hole, causing a large amount of energy and matter that should have been poured into the black hole to flow into the black hole in the universe in his palm.
It's just that the gravity emitted by the universe in his palm is not enough, it can only ensure his own safety, and the range of influence is not large. (End of chapter)
