The expedition of Lin Shu's team finally came to an end. Due to the distance, the dragon vein Lin Shu was in was getting further and further away from the dragon vein of the Hope, beyond the ten-day voyage. Contact It became unstable and unreliable. The question before Lin Shu was whether to continue along this dragon vein, or to turn back and join Lin Pao and continue to move along the original dragon vein.
Lin Shu couldn¡¯t decide for the moment, so he planned to walk forward a little further to see if the distance continued to increase, and then consider whether to turn back.
In fact, now that Xiaoxing is followed by a slower Yuling, the possibility of Lin Shu wanting to continue moving forward is not high at all. However, Lin Shu is still a little unwilling to do so.
The transformation of the Yuling is still in progress and will not stop for a long time. In order to ensure the smooth birth of the Yuling clan, the Yuling cannot be too far away from Xiaoxing and Hope so that it can be obtained at any time. The support and guidance of Xiao Yu, Lin Shu and others.
One of the original intentions of reducing the size of the Yuling is to achieve deep subspace flight. If it cannot fly in deep subspace, the Yuling will be abandoned by the expedition team sooner or later.
Not only is Niraya researching this arduous task with all her strength, but many research institutions on the Hope and Xiaoyu are also involved in it. There are many plans proposed, but the current problem is mainly stuck in entering and exiting the subspace. above the energy loss.
The advantage of the Yuling is that its texture is very solid. In this case, no additional barrier protection is needed to enter and exit deep subspace. This of course also solves the trouble of setting up a super huge barrier, but. To create such a large hole in real space and subspace. It's not an easy task either.
And in order to prevent the occurrence of black holes or energy eruptions when deep subspace is connected to real space. When a spaceship enters deep subspace, it actually enters and closes layer by layer. Therefore, the energy expenditure to continuously break through the space is quite huge.
The original ant nest used a powerful gravitational field to carry out similar subspace navigation, but after the mass was greatly reduced and the effectiveness of the gravitational field fell below the critical value, this method of flight was no longer possible. If you want to fly in subspace, you need to find another way.
It is precisely because Lin Nao and Nilaya both understand the difficulties faced by the Rain Spirit and the expedition team. Therefore, they had already made up their minds about Lin Shu¡¯s choice, and they didn¡¯t care at all that Lin Shu was taking his time not to make a decision. They were now focusing their energy on solving this problem. For Lin Shu, he could do whatever he wanted. No matter what, he can't run far anyway.
Xiaoying went on a trip and brought some nanny star ants, transforming star ants, and furlings from the ant nest back to the Hope. Many researchers on the Hope were eagerly waiting for the arrival of these magical species. They We will try our best to decipher the abilities of these two magical star ants. It is hoped that new discoveries can be made from it to promote the progress of existing alchemy and weapon refining technologies.
As for the idea of ??imitating these star ants to build similar machines. There is no market at all. According to Mao Ling, it is better to make machines than directly produce these star ants. Anyway, as long as fixed orders are given, these star ants will work honestly. What you need to do Just give it enough food. How is this different from a machine?
While the entire expedition team was busy absorbing and digesting the new technologies and knowledge brought by the Star Ant Tribe, Lin Shu had already turned his attention away from the Star Ant Tribe because he had discovered something more interesting.
The cause of this incident is also related to the Star Ant clan. In order to experiment with the improvement of the command method of the Fighting Star Ants, Lin Shu equipped Xiaoxing with some Fighting Star Ants to serve as Xiaoxing's scouts. They will carry multi-functional detectors. To carry out activities, use larger combat star ants as vanguards. The advantage is that they can carry detectors with more functions, the detectors can also be more powerful, and their maneuverability is much better.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to expose their whereabouts, and the consumption is also greatly increased. Fortunately, the star ants eat everything. The star ants also like to eat the things grown in Xiaoxing's ship. If they are really lazy, you can just grab some meteorites and feed them to them. .
During an extreme communication link test, two star ants mysteriously disappeared. Of course, this was an extreme distance test of the communication link. It is possible that they accidentally ran out of the test range and turned into two cosmic meteorites from then on. , Fortunately, the star ants are not smart, otherwise they would definitely die of sadness.
However, even if it was an accident, Lin Shu would carefully analyze the cause of the accident. After analyzing all the signals, Lin Shu confirmed that the two star ants responsible for the test had indeed exceeded the maximum transmission distance of the signal. However, The strange thing is that before this, Lin Shu had already sent a return signal, but the two star ants seemed not to have received the signal. As for the possibility that the star ants deliberately failed to execute the signal, there was no possibility.Here I am.
The question is, since the signal from the sensor can be transmitted back, is there no reason why the two Star Ants cannot receive the return command? So what was the reason why the two star ants did not obey the order and return? Lin Shu could only think of two answers. Either the two star ants were dead, or the two star ants were controlled by something else.
But there is also a problem here. If something is close to the star ants, it is impossible for those detectors to not detect it. However, many types of sensor data all illustrate the same problem, that is, nothing has entered the range that can threaten the life of the star ants. .
As a result, the problem became strange. In the vast universe, whenever something strange happens, it must be linked to danger. Lin Shu immediately issued an order to stop advancing and at the same time sent out the scout Star Ants. Go out and set up a large warning circle around them.
In order to prevent the star ants from being killed or controlled silently, Lin Shu also specially installed soul signature sensors on the star ants. Once the inherent soul fluctuations of the star ants change, the sensor will immediately send an alarm to Lin Shu. .
Then, Lin Shu once again sent two more star ants to the place where the two star ants disappeared.
Except for the personnel on duty, only Jessie and Xiaoxing are present in the command room. Everyone else is currently busy with the affairs of the Yuling Tribe. Niraya had been wandering around the command room for several days before disappearing.
Jessie sat next to Lin Shu nervously. He squeezed Lin Shu's shoulders and looked at the data on the projection. and an image of two star ants spying on each other.
"How far is it from the place where we last lost contact?"
"Three units at 0:00, we will arrive in three minutes."
"Let them slow down, put a little distance between them, and pay attention to the changes around them."
"Yes Oops, the soul signature sensor alarm the star ant is dead."
"Data, all data, completely recorded."
Lin Shu was a little nervous. In fact, he had been observing the changes in the data just now. In fact, there is no change at all in the data. Gravity is normal, all magic energy is normal, dragon vein energy dissipation is normal, high-energy radiation, and background radiation are all normal. What is normal can no longer be normal! But the star ant died just like that, silently and inexplicably. This strange and incomprehensible situation made everyone in the command room feel a little creepy.
"Husband, is this something invisible?"
Jessie asked worriedly, and Lin Shu couldn¡¯t answer if he was invisible. That's too perfect for being invisible.
"Xiaoxing, send the second group to continue moving towards this area. Adjust the sensor to the state of maximum accuracy and sacrifice the detection range."
"clear."
"In addition, based on the distance just now, it seems that the opponent is approaching me. Calculate the distance between the two locations just now and calculate the opponent's movement speed. We will keep the same speed and evacuate sideways and backwards."
"yes."
Not long after, the two star ants lost their lives again, but the data on all the sensors were still completely normal. It seemed that there was a death area, and you would die if you entered it. Moreover, this area was still moving in the direction of the small star, and the speed was still high. Not low, a gloomy atmosphere gradually spread in the command room.
"What the hell is this? Is it a death zone, where you will die?"
Jessie asked the questions on everyone's mind in an understanding way. Lin Shu smiled and shook his head: "If there is such an area, it must be made of something. The strange thing is that our detectors did not respond at all. The only possibility I can imagine is that there's some non-physical type of thing out there that's not very dense."
"Huh? Non-material type? Soul? Could it be the legendary undead?"
Lin Shu laughed: "The undead are not legendary. The undead refer to the soul of dead life, right? That is a real thing. However, the undead cannot exist in the material world for a long time. For the undead, the material The world is like a violent sandstorm, and the constantly moving matter will disperse the soul energy and turn it into free soul energy, and finally the undead will disappear without a trace."
"But" Jessie frowned, as if she was stumped by some problem. After thinking for a while, Jessie finally let out a breath and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with what your husband said, but again I can¡¯t figure out what¡¯s wrong?¡±
"Haha, you must be trying to talk about how things like spirits and gods exist."
"That's right! That's it. Weren't they broken up?"
"Have you forgotten the Dragon Nest Formation? The orderly and powerful soul power can in turn interfere with material energy and affect the soul itself.?Form protection. In fact, our magic and spells are the interference of the soul with material energy. However, after death, those souls are not quite complete when they leave the body. At the same time, they do not know how to directly use pure soul power. To interfere with material energy and protect themselves, and time did not allow them to explore and study how to protect themselves. Soon, they were destroyed. There is a special example here, which is the dragon soul, but even in the dragon soul crystal, the storage time of the soul is quite limited. "
"Thenwhat if you have studied these techniques during your lifetime? Will your soul be able to exist independently after death?"
"right!"
"Huh? Then haven't we Xuanmen been practicing this all the time?"
"Haha, you just discovered it!?"
Jessie¡¯s face turned red. She just thought too straight and spoke too quickly.
"Then, what was that just now, the soul body?"
"It's possible, this time we need a star ant carrying a soul energy detector. Also, Xiaoxing activates the outer soul-solidifying array and the ten-direction soul-gathering array, running at low power and on standby."
