Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"Can we detect them?"

"No, Captain, their psychic jamming system is at least one generation more advanced than our radar, and we can't lock on to them at all!"

In the command module, Taryn, the captain of the Farstrider who belongs to the Tallinn Presbyterian Church, has used his four claw limbs to fix himself on the driver's seat.

It sat very stable, even if the propulsion nozzle was damaged several times, causing the spacecraft to shake violently from time to time.

However, compared to the stable sitting posture, Ketalun was extremely anxious at this time.

Ever since he received the task of 'exploring the restricted area of ​​​​the black area' from the Presbyterian Council fifteen days ago, Far Traveler 12 changed the original investigation mission and set out towards the perimeter of the restricted area located at the edge of the river system.

This is not a long time, but it is definitely not simple. If Farstrider 12 was not originally located around the restricted area of ​​​​the Black Zone, but set off directly from the Tallinn home planet, then even with the latest generation of jump engines, it would take two It may not be possible to reach the edge in three years.

Even Far Voyager 12, for safety reasons, must enter some planetary systems from time to time, enter their inner orbits, and replenish some fuel and material reserves from gas giants or planets. This will greatly extend the exploration time.

To be conservative, Cotalen believes that it will take at least four months for Voyager 12 to reach the inner side of the Black Zone restricted area, where there may be an Omega-level psychic civilization.

This is not long, and for interstellar navigation, it can even be considered very fast.

However, who would have thought that Far Traveler 12 would directly encounter an exploration ship of a hostile force just ten days after setting off towards its goal?

Yes, hostile forces.

Since the beginning of the Silent Age, the original pattern of the universe has been completely obliterated and shattered. Many of the most powerful and glorious interstellar empires and giants have all self-destructed and completely collapsed due to the disappearance of psychic energy and hyperspace jumps.

Therefore, the civilizations currently active on the galactic stage are basically reborn civilizations or native civilizations that have only developed over the past few thousand years after the Silent Age.

Rebirth Civilization, as the name suggests, is a civilization that originated from the mother planet of interstellar forces or colonies before many silent eras. It relies on analyzing those ancient technological relics to re-enter the starry sky. Rebirth Civilization sounds pretty good, but only by picking up garbage. A bit more realistic.

The native civilization is a civilization that has developed step by step, happened to avoid the biggest storm of the Silent Era, and entered the universe in the recent period.

The composition of the Tallinn Presbyterian Church is half and half.

This arthropod-like race with four clawed limbs was originally a super civilization before the Silent Era, a native planetary race within the sphere of influence of the 'Corporate Alliance'. Their entire home planet is a natural environment set by the Corporate Alliance. Protected area, key observation object of primitive civilization.

However, with the arrival of the Silent Age, the Enterprise Alliance lost its spiritual power and cut off communication and transportation means. The alliance fell apart on the spot, and the scientific researchers of the Enterprise Alliance who were originally stationed on the Tallinn home planet were trapped and died in Tallinn because of the loss of supplies. In the observation station on the parent star satellite.

The Tallinn people quickly developed into the moon landing era by reversely analyzing the research stations left by the Enterprise Alliance scientists on their home planet, and then rapidly progressed through the observation station technology on the satellite, and then entered the interstellar stage.

They originally thought that they could completely inherit the legacy of the corporate alliance, and slowly learn from the experience of powerful civilizations in the past, plus their own development, to become a higher civilization step by step.

But sadly, not just one civilization was born from the legacy of the Corporate Alliance.

[Clo Production Complex] is such a civilization.

Born in the former industrial manufacturing planet of the Enterprise Alliance, the "United General Administration of Machinery Manufacturing and Production", the Crows were originally just an artificial auxiliary race created by the Enterprise Alliance, used to carry out various dangerous deep space operations and conduct some dangerous production at close range. Work.

The word "Clo" means "labor" in the language of the Enterprise Alliance.

Their shape is similar to a regular dodecahedron, with each side except the top and bottom having an extremely strong and multi-functional exoskeleton limb. This robot-like shape allows them to carry out various complex maintenance and construction work in all aspects and on all terrains, and the artificially designed exoskeleton shell allows the Cro people to survive in space to a certain extent - even if it is No psychic powers.

With a body far stronger than the normal races in the Enterprise Alliance, the Kro people survived the disasters of the Silent Age, and after losing their masters, they gradually grew considerable wisdom, then formed their own civilization and inherited the Enterprise The alliance's industrial manufacturing heritage enters the starry sky.

Coincidentally, the Crow and Tallinn people are not far apart.

Twenty-five years ago, they discovered each other, and the result of their exchange was quite unfriendly.

The Crow people, who regard themselves as the orthodox heirs of the Corporate Alliance, treat the Tallinn people as if they saw monkeys coming out of the zoo and putting on human clothes. Both their attitudes and actions seemed rude and disrespectful... On one occasion During diplomatic communication, the Crow people even put the Tallinn ambassador in a cage and showed it to the public as an animal, and affirmed that this is the correct position of the Tallinn people.

Since then, relations between the two civilizations have deteriorated sharply, and many armed conflicts have even occurred.

And they also have this qualification, because originally born on the industrial planet of the Enterprise Alliance, the Crow people are far stronger than the Tallin people in terms of fleet and production capacity.

However, in the final analysis, they are all new civilizations after the Silent Age, and the Crow people do not have the logistical ability to send a fleet to raid the Tallinn home planet - and the Tallinn people, as a native civilization, are far better in spiritual talent than just being a labor force. The Crow people, so although the two sides are currently in a semi-war state, there is no tendency of any violent conflict. ,

But if they happen to meet each other in the universe, no matter whether it is the Crow or the Tallinn, they will shoot down the other's spaceship without hesitation.

In most of these conflicts, the Crow people have the advantage.

Just like what Farstrider 12 is experiencing now - due to technological disadvantages, even if the Crowe exploration ship hiding in the dark launches an attack on them, they are unable to lock on to the opponent in turn.

"The Crow exploration ship obviously heard the warning signal from the spacecraft in the black area restricted area, so it planned to go over to see the situation..."

At this moment, Far Traveler 12 suffered another attack - it was a particle beam with psychic elements that could be self-guided to another target with psychic powers. If it were on the battlefield, this kind of attack would It's not easy to use, but in the empty space environment, it is an artifact that is almost certain to hit.

boom! Bright white light bloomed on the side of the trapezoidal appearance of Farranger 12, creating a small gap. The automatic maintenance robot was urgently filling it, and it would not develop to the point where the spacecraft stopped - but if it continues like this , it is only a matter of time before they are shot down, and now they are unable to lock the enemy, and there is no way that reinforcements from Tallinn will arrive before they are shot down.

In this case, Captain Kotalen has no choice.

"Show the star map."

After issuing the order like this, the crew immediately displayed the star map on the light curtain in the command module.

Through the neuroma that has been electronically brained, Kotalun quickly browses the star information in the star map... Unfortunately, there are no planetary systems around that can be used to hide, or special celestial bodies that can hinder the search signal. They had no option but to escape.

But where can you escape? Even if the jump engine is activated, the opponent can still catch up based on the hyperspace signal - the Crow's sensor technology is better than theirs at least jointly, but Talen does not think that the opponent cannot do this.

But being able to become the captain of a ship, Talon still has enough decision-making power in times of crisis.

"Long-distance jump, target black area restricted area."

An electronic signal was sent to notify every crew member in the exploration ship, but Talon's tone was so calm that all the slightly panicked crew members couldn't help but calm down: "Don't worry about the energy source, just jump continuously towards the source of the signal. !”

Since there is a spacecraft that can send psychic signals in the restricted area of ​​the black area, it proves that the spacecraft should still be usable and even have some energy.

As a pursuer with a sure chance of winning, it is impossible for the Crow's spaceship to make such a desperate move as they did, completely ignoring the danger of being trapped in an unfamiliar planetary system, and making continuous jumps that consume a lot of energy - to throw off the pursuers through the suicidal method of continuous jumps. Soldier, and then use the parts of the spacecraft that initiated the signal to repair the Far Traveler and replenish energy to leave. This was his plan.

In a continuous jump that lasts for more than ten days, even one failure will lead to the failure of the plan.

Even if it succeeds, the advanced psychic civilization that may exist in the black zone restricted area may destroy them just like the spacecraft that sent the signal.

This is a glimmer of hope, and only a glimmer of hope.

However, even at the risk of being wiped out by an Omega psychic civilization, Talen must do this for his own life and the lives of many other Tallinn crew members.

After hearing the order from their captain, all the Tallinn crew members began to work in silence.

Immediately, among the stars, the trapezoidal spacecraft began to change its route, and the originally bright propulsion engine began to gradually shut down.

——Then, the light golden spiritual radiance, like the morning sun covering the earth, turned into a veil of light and covered the entire spacecraft.

Buzz, the buzz in the spirit world sounded, the jump engine in the center of the spacecraft started to start, and the charging bar advanced rapidly.

Just like that, along with a hallucination-like change of light and shadow, the entire ladder-shaped spacecraft disappeared in the light golden psychic light particles flying all over the sky.

Earth Calendar, June 8, 2017, 11:23 pm.

Su Zhou took the team of students, who were exhausted physically and mentally after the assessment, to the location of the large radio telescope matrix next to the northwest Gobi.

The starry sky is bright, the Milky Way is like a waterfall, and stars are shining in the blue-black sky without the interference of city lights.

"Professor Su is good to you! Not only did you pass the exam, but he also took you to see the stars!"

Saying this, Su Zhou laughed, and left Jin Qiong and others with constipated faces and various thoughts in their hearts in the research institute, and then prepared to pick up Shao Qiming from the green camp not far away: "Study hard. Point, as members of our New World Exploration Department, even if we are unable to go to alien planets in the future, it is still very possible to board a spaceship."

But after Su Zhou took off and left, a certain Miss Bird dared to stamp her feet in annoyance and secretly lost her temper: "What makes us pass the assessment? It's obvious that we have achieved great results in cultivation and can withstand lightning strikes!"

"You really use thunder tribulation to test. This is simply abuse! It's power! You said that 'ancient gods and gods all used thunder tribulation as a test standard', and you actually want to promote thunder tribulation as an assessment method. The majority of candidates around the world will hate you. It goes to the bone!"

"What you said makes sense."

And just when Jin Qiong was complaining, the young man's voice came from afar. With the unity of all people, Su Zhou could hear his own thoughts for several kilometers and said leisurely: "But it is also a good thing."

Suddenly, Jin Qiong, who dared to speak because Su Zhou couldn't hear her, turned pale, and the beautiful girl subconsciously pressed her heart, which even seemed a bit like Xizi's flattery.

Li Yeyu, who was on the side, suppressed her smile. She stepped forward, hugged the other person's shoulders, and whispered comfort in the ear of the blond girl: "Professor Su...his strength has improved again. Now, it should be Now that you have reached the realm of commanding a high level? It shouldn’t be difficult to hear your words from a few kilometers away.”

"Anyway, don't start arranging him in the future."

Jin Qiong, whose legs were a little weak, immediately turned around and hugged her back with tears in her eyes: "Oh, oh, oh, Ye Yu, you are the best!"

On the other side, Guan Wanjing, who was full of muscles, was eager to try the radio telescope and had already begun to inquire about the visit to the automated AI in the nearby research institute, but Li Hanshan was not interested in this.

He was holding his cell phone and typing rapidly - 12 o'clock was almost here, and if he didn't update it, he might lose his perfect attendance and monthly pass.

On the earth, all living things are in various forms. Although the changes in the world brought about by the resurgence of spiritual energy seem to have calmed down, whether it is the large-scale tree planting operation in the Zhengguo Gobi or the land reclamation operation in northern Europe, everything has changed. It is more practical to change the world than seemingly spectacular changes in the sky.

In the world of beast gods, Concord City has been built, and many descendants of the beasts have been given as gifts for the first batch of humanized education and training; on the back of the moon, research on alien spacecraft has gradually entered the right track, with the four permanent members as the Leader, the reverse cracking project has begun to take shape.

Everything is moving forward and developing in a better direction.

Likewise, in that pitch-black universe with countless black cracks spreading.

The stars are shining.
