Chapter 350 Devouring Abnormal
The universe is so big that there are all odds. Such a celestial phenomenon is not uncommon in the universe. For the night, this kind of earth turtle coming out of the ground of the planet, it is rare.
Fan Qingping wanted to talk, but he looked at the night and still resisted.
Hawke received the order of the night, immediately sent someone to collect some samples, and then rushed to the laboratory for testing. It didn't take long for the result to come.
When everyone saw the result, they looked inexplicable.
These seemingly gray particles are actually metal. And it is a natural alloy. The composition in the alloy has not been fully tested, but at least two extremely rare metal components have been found. This kind of metal may be of little use for the manufacture of starships, but the production of ground equipment and some fine parts is just in handy.
The night decisively ordered: "Immediately count the shield maintenance time. Let's hurry up and collect it. This thing is useful!" Others don't know the use of these metals, but the night is clear. After all, he has obtained the material production process of the space sniper rifle and knows the value of some rare metals.
"The ship can only last for 10 minutes at full speed and full-loaded shields. Half speed, 30 minutes, at the current speed of one-third, can last for one hour. However, the shield consumes a lot of power. If you want to maintain a high level of power, try not to exceed one-third of the estimated time. Fan Qingping analyzed.
That is to say, at the current speed, we only have 20 minutes. What if the speed of the ship slows down again?"
"It's useless to slow down any more. This is the speed critical point."
"What if the fuel is over-consuming and overloaded generator sets?"
"It depends on how long the overload can last," Fan Qingping made a conclusion.
The night returned the command to Wen Zhong. He left the command center and went to the ship's power module to find Hawk. At present, there are two kinds of fuel for ships, one is crystal energy and the other is helium 3. Although the total amount of helium 3 from Qinglangxing is not large, it is enough to maintain the consumption of the spacecraft for a long time.
However, this ship may be relatively old, and the engine unit is a little old. I can't rest assured at night, so I'd better go to the field to have a look. This is the core of the whole ship, the most critical position, idle people, etc., all of which are not allowed to enter. So far, Hawke is the only one who controls it.
In the aisle outside the power cabin, Hawk was furious: "You idiots, find a way. The amount of good things outside is not enough. When the little brother is angry, my glitter will be gone. I'm not happy. Don't think about getting better.
"Hock," the night stopped him and then dismissed the crowd.
He didn't expect these people to get much effective things. After all, Kunpeng is a battleship and has no ability to collect resources. Moreover, the environment outside is harsh. Even if drones are used, I'm afraid most of them will deliver vegetables. Therefore, these people can make as much money as they can, and the night does not force it.
"Oh, little brother, why did you come here in person?" Hawke immediately greeted him enthusiastically. On the one hand, the night was his closest person, and on the other hand, he was his big gold owner.
"Let's go and take me to see the power module. I want to confirm the overload situation." Night Road.
Hawk opened the door with his own permission and took him in. He toured around the night and checked the running data. He found that the function of the Jingneng old antique unit was normal, and it should be able to carry appropriate overload. However, there are some problems with the helium 3 unit.
"Hok, take me to the fuel warehouse." The night ordered.
Hawke hurriedly led the way in front of him. After opening the hatch, the fuel compartment was very empty. After several jumps and consumption during this period of time, the fuel stored in the initial period has been almost consumed.
The night cut directly in the prism of the forehead, and then transmitted a pile of high-energy crystals, which stunned Hawke. These crystals still come from the damaged test site.
"Don't be stunned. I have this little secret, your brother. Don't reveal it to outsiders."
"Oh, oh," Hawke hurriedly answered.
The night warned again: "In the future, the jump unit and the ordinary navigation unit will operate separately. The power supply of the jump unit is provided by helium 3. I have checked it and try not to overload it. Ordinary units use crystals, allowing a certain degree of overload.
The night pointed to the crystals on the ground and said, "If you like it, choose a collection by yourself, but don't reveal it in front of outsiders."
"Okay, okay," Hawke was overjoyed. He liked these shiny things.
"Okay, now take me to the exit of the spare engine. I'm going to do something. Please watch for me and don't let anyone know." Exit the fuel tank at night.
The ship has three sets of ordinary power engines, one commonly used, another one will be started during combat, and another set is spare. The engine has a flame vent, which can be connected to the outside of the ship.
The reason why the night avoids the group of people in the command center is indeed because he has some secrets that should not be disclosed. The prism world on his forehead, after the star soul moved in, the fire on the planet began to evolve into life. But these planets are too small, very small, and imperfect, which cannot support the reproduction of life. When he arrived at this special area, he suddenly realized that the prism exuded a desire to devour.
Devouring has always been what the night wants to do, but has never been able to do.
Inside the planet, one is the lack of precious materials, but there is the influence of the planet, and there will be great obstacles to devouring. But when it comes to the starry sky, you can naturally let go of your hands and feet, and the particles of various metal components outside are really suitable for swallowing. But once it is implemented on a large scale, it is bound to cause visions.
Now there are many people in Kunpeng, and once they go to the outside world, they are likely to release some of these people. Once the secret spreads, it may attract a lot of snoops.
Tell Hawk to overload the crew, keep the shield full load, go out to the engine port by yourself, and prepare to use the prism ability to draw things outside into the prism world.
Devouring is different from receiving. Collecting only needs the projection of the planet reflected from the outside world in the night, which can be transmitted. But devouring is another mode. He must maintain an absorption channel, and opening this channel is naturally terrible.
The night climbs to the link between the engine and the ship and wraps itself with space energy. Then the engine nozzle is arranged with an extremely cumbersome and extensive array. This is the most suitable position, because this is the weakest part of the ship's energy shield.
After the array was started, a vortex with a diameter of more than 40 meters suddenly appeared at the engine nozzle. The particles outside absorb those particles in like a long whale swallowing water.
The speed at the beginning of the period is relatively slow, and there is a shield barrier, which is very inefficient. But after the whirlpool really started to run, it became faster and faster, and even the shield outside Kunpeng was torn with a transparent opening, and a large number of natural alloy particles surged in.
The night does its best to maintain the stability of the absorption channel as much as possible.
A metal storm suddenly blew in a corner of the prism world. The massive metal particles swallowed in lost the power to rotate and gradually piled up, and soon became a huge metal sphere, which became larger and larger.
In just ten minutes, the sphere has exceeded 100 meters in diameter.
"Abnormal space fluctuations and abnormal shields were found in the stern of the ship!" After all, the command center found it.
The night connected to the command center and dispelled their concerns: "Don't make a fuss. Hawke and I are testing the backup unit."
Although there are still doubts in the command center, since the night has made it clear, they can't ask any more questions.
As the whirlpool accelerates, the night feels difficult.
"It's not good!" The night only guessed the beginning, but did not predict how it would end.
The operation of the open devouring channel has gradually been out of control, and the running speed is getting faster and faster. The metal sphere in the prism world soon becomes 200 meters, 300 meters, 400 meters...
The outer space of Kunpeng seems to be stirred up.
No matter who it is, they are aware of the abnormality! Because the particles outside are actually flowing towards Kunpeng and are being swallowed up by unknown things. The command room became nervous, but no one dared to ask questions to the night.
In this abnormal flow, the giant ship more than a kilometer long actually shook. Even the outer shield has an unstable trend.
"The ship accelerated to two-thirds full speed," the night immediately issued an order to the command center through the sound transmission system. Now he is also in big trouble. He thought that swallowing could be controlled, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop.
The metal sphere in the prism world is getting bigger and bigger.
"Hock, speed up a shuttle. Be sure to stay close to me within 300 meters. The night has foreseen a difficult end, and he must prepare for the worst.
After Kunpeng accelerated, the shaking became weaker. But the good times did not last long. With the increase of devouring, the hull began to sway again. Moreover, the ship's spare engine port, due to phagocytosis, also caused damage. If the situation is out of control, I'm afraid the whole ship will be destroyed.
"Accelerate again!" The night ordered.
The speed of Kunpeng has improved again!
Hawke has used the mechanical tools in the ship to transport a small shuttle to the vicinity.
"You leave first," the night ordered Hawke and said restlessly, "When Kunpeng jumps, you go to the command center and don't stay in the power cabin."
"Oh, okay." Hawke doesn't know what's going on. He always has thick lines. However, he basically won't discount what the night told him.
No, we must get out as soon as possible!
The night emits a virtual shadow from the prism, puts it in the shuttle sleeve, and then transmits it to the prism world. As for the shuttle machine, after such a lot of toss, it can't be used. He can't take care of it.
"Tingxuan, Qingping, Xiong Meng, Jietian, Hawk, Yi Biao, no disease, no disease," Heiye showed a tone of explaining the afterth and said bitterly, "I'm afraid I'll leave again, and Kun Peng will be handed over to you. Follow our preset route, bypass the jump point of the military zone and enter the free zone.
The command center was silent, and they didn't expect that something would go wrong at night.
The night continued: "After arriving at the free zone, Wen Zhong will lead the free development of power. If there are passengers in the starship who are willing to work together, they will stay. If they don't want to join, they will leave. In a moment, I will leave the way to contact you in Kunpeng's system. Take care of yourself!"
