Him and their stars.

Chapter 1066 five, four, three

An hour later, the real captain of the exploration team, Professor Zinov, appeared in the control room of Chapter Nine.

In fact, he received the communication here more than 50 minutes ago.However, this versatile scientist kept his composure and stayed at the banquet to chat and laugh with the officers of the Ninth Fleet, and then he and Commodore Bazin finished the remaining half of the bottle of red wine before leaving very naturally After leaving the meeting place, I rushed back to Jiuzhang No. alone.

"Sorry, I'm a step late. I have to find a less noticeable way to exit. Now, there are nearly 3 people in this galaxy. No matter where you come from, you shouldn't want to make a scene known to everyone, right?" Professor Zinov said to "Cinderella".

Yes, this unidentified lady who appeared as soon as a goddess descended from the sky called herself "Hui".

Of course, those three technical geeks and Tai Ah, who suffered a big loss, dare not be like someone who is not big or small, and directly calls "Sister Cinderella" or even "Little Gray", so they can only temporarily call her "Sister Gray". Cinderella."

She looked Professor Zinov up and down, and smiled: "My friend told me that you may be one of the smartest humans in this era. Smart people are pragmatic, so I will open the skylight and speak out. This The harsh astrological conditions of the galaxies you call Tianshu are not naturally produced."

Professor Zinov nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, the devil's labyrinth in this galaxy and the New World... Oh, it has been renamed the Dawn Star Field now. I heard that the star field is prosperous a bit abnormally, and Some people have also discovered the remains of the enlightened one after another. So, this should also be a galaxy created by the enlightened for some kind of experiment?"

The Cinderella nodded frankly.

Xiao Bai over there suddenly showed an expression of "it's true", and a flush of excitement appeared on his delicate cheeks, as if his whimsical guess had been certified by an authority.

At this time, Eisen had already run to a terminal, and cut out two tables from a light curtain that was constantly beating data: "We compared all the astronomical phenomena collected from the establishment of the new Shenzhou star area. According to the data, some laws of magnetic field changes have been explored. The only exceptions are the star and the blue gas giant planet. Is that the source?"

All in all, none of the people present showed a particularly surprised expression. On the contrary, Cinderella raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said with a smile: "You all seem to be smarter than before. It can be explained in this way. It's more convenient."

She walked to the side of the terminal that was smashed by Tai Ah just now, and raised her hand, and saw that on the wrist that looked more clean and clear than most beautiful girls, there was a ball of silver sand overflowing evenly. The mist surged onto the group of mechanical wreckage, and after a momentary flow, a bright and clean terminal stood up again.

"Ah, at least 1500 million were rescued." Tamir cast a grateful look at Cinderella.As the only one of the three Big Tech fighters who knows how to live, he really knows how expensive the equipment on the Nine Chapters is.

Tai'a's brows moved slightly, and he gave Tamir a hard look.

Under everyone's surprised and scrutinizing eyes, Ms. Cinder walked up to the terminal she had repaired, and smiled while operating: "Okay, this terminal has been upgraded! I also strengthened one of your probes, which is the The one among the gaseous planets. Its high temperature resistance performance has been robbed a lot, so it can be sent."

Everyone looked at each other, saying that they didn't realize which probe was different.But at this time, there was a signal from ahead, numbered No. 6, the sky survey eye that was carrying out daily tasks on the orbit of the blue gas giant planet, had already rushed straight towards the deep blue atmosphere that was as deep as an abyss. past.

Tamir really wanted to say that the market value of a sky surveying eye was more than [-] million, but before he had time to express any objection, a light curtain popped up on the terminal that had just been repaired.What is shown above is not various planets and magnetic field data, but a huge shadow hidden under the blue atmosphere.

The graphics on the light curtain are not clear, and everyone can't recognize the whole picture of this thing, but the dark blue atmosphere is wrapped in shadows, and it is still trembling vaguely, like an oviparous creature that is developing.And that atmosphere, or the entire gas giant planet, is its eggshell.

Looking at the image on the light curtain, everyone was more or less dizzy.No way, even people who don't have giant phobia will feel their own insignificance when they witness such a towering existence that looks like a planet.Under the general gap that seems to have fallen into dust, panic and depression are even more unavoidable.

If it weren't for the fact that the people present were either top scientists or big tech masters, or double-bonus red sticks, their willpower was far beyond ordinary people, and they might have fainted a few on the spot.

"Do you know anything about Space Leviathan?" Cinderella laughed.

Professor Zinov said: "Astrobiology is not my research direction. However, in the universe, there are indeed giants the size of stars... But the size of this thing is indeed beyond my imagination."

Yes, so far, the largest space Leviathan creatures discovered by this generation of civilization are adult star-eating worms and aged ancient dome whales.However, even these behemoths that can set off the titan ship as a small sampan are at most the size of a larger asteroid, not even the size of a dwarf planet.

And now this behemoth hiding in a giant gas giant planet is truly unheard of.

"Last year, the Star Devourer that appeared in the extreme star region of the Empire and on the battlefield of the New World is the space Leviathan that we have come into contact with recently." Eisen replied.

Of course, this is when edelweiss, which is in a stocking state in the Terra star area, is excluded.

"Actually, the evolution of organisms is also a spiral. In order to adapt to the environment, there will often be a phenomenon of degradation in the biological concept. On the scale of the universe, the possibility that pine trees degenerate into reeds and whales degenerate into starfish all exists. " She laughed and said, "If this guy is a whale, the Star Eater is a starfish."

For a while, everyone didn't know what kind of expression to use to respond, and they all felt that the amount of information received tonight was indeed a bit too much.

"The star devourer can use asteroids and dwarf planets as their eggs, and grow by gnawing on planets. But does he have to use gas giant planets?" Xiao Bai suddenly realized.Of course, out of awe of the unknown giant, he didn't dare to use "it", and subconsciously replaced it with an honorific title.

Cinderella smiled and clapped her hands: "That's right, I will draw inferences. Its scientific name is the Star Colonizer, and it is a kind of artificial Leviathan created by the civilization of your enlightened ancestors. It uses giant planets as eggs and stars as Food."

Everyone was dumbfounded and felt like a nightmare.In the memory of almost all civilizations since ancient times, stars represent the source of life, the source of all things, and are symbols of eternity.It's really hard for them to imagine that there are creatures that feed on stars.

"Why them, why did the Enlightened Ones create such creatures?" Eisen couldn't help asking.

Cinderella took a deep look at the chubby engineer: "Of course it is for the transformation of galaxies. Let them devour the old stars that are about to die in the inaccessible fringe universe, accumulate enough energy in their bodies, and then jump to the densely populated central star." In the region. Control them to blend into young or old stars that are still growing, and in this way, a large group of prosperous young and middle-aged stars can be artificially created."

She paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, in order to bear the power of the stars in the body, the bodies of these star colonizers have a huge mass. After energy fusion, their body fragments will be naturally discharged by the solar wind. They can be used as stable materials, Create a new planet."

The three young technical nerds were full of energy, fascinated by this mythical method.

Professor Zinov pondered for a while, and sighed: "Ms. Cinderella, if our technological research and development are not wrong at all, how many centuries will it take to achieve this step?"

"What's the point of saying it? Anyway, everyone here is destined not to see this day." Cinderella laughed.

"It's just that we can't see it, or our civilization is doomed to fail." Professor Zinov said solemnly.

The other party paused for another second, before saying quietly: "The larvae of the star colonizer are dormant on this gas giant planet. As for the star, it is the food prepared for it. The Enlightener uses the method of prohibition to let The will of the star colonizers is bound to the stars here. This is why this galaxy produces a disordered magnetic field."

She seemed to be answering irrelevant questions, but everyone kept silent.They can all feel that the other party is indeed answering the question just now.

"Here is a good news. It is at least [-] million years before it is destined to wake up. But here is also a bad news. The bad news is that you want to build a space bubble factory through the strong magnetic field here... Hehe, it is indeed feasible, and I also admit that this is a very imaginative idea. But if it is true, whether it is construction expenses, maintenance expenses, or the probability of accidents, it will definitely be so high that there is no cost-effectiveness. As for the galaxy Land development is even more non-existent.”

Xiaobai's expression suddenly darkened.

On the contrary, his cousin had already focused all her attention on the looming huge black shadow on the light curtain.The pupils of her eyes seemed to shrink a bit, and her breathing was slow and heavy, like a predator watching its prey.

"However, there is even worse news here." Cinderella shrugged: "Thanks to your work during this time, this guy is going to wake up early."

Tai'a was taken aback for me, and quickly turned his head to look at the other party. There seemed to be a golden light in his eyes, and his hands had already subconsciously pressed the hilt of the lightsaber in the sleeve again.

"However, in many cases, bad news and good news are two sides of the same coin. After the star planter larva wakes up, it will follow the biological instinct, and it will head towards the star. If you can capture it by the gravity of the star, Kill it, let it naturally fall into the stars and merge with it, and this galaxy will return to normal. Oh, yes, according to my estimation, professor, the strong magnetic field phenomenon you want will be in 2 The orbit of the giant planet No. 3, and all three of its moons."

"I don't have time to think about this issue now..." Professor Zinov took out a small bottle of vodka from his arms like a magic trick, and took two sips viciously: "That's why, you just said, this... The star colonizer is a larva, so there should be no star energy in the body, right? After merging with the star, why can it be revived?"

Cinderella blinked her gray-silver eyes, which were more vivid than most people: "Although I really want to say that it is a prohibited item... However, considering that you are indeed one of the smartest humans I have ever seen, let's I can still say a few more words. First, to grow into a main body, a star colonizer can devour stars many times. Second, the incubation of a star colonizer is never a one-off. Third, didn’t you guess it just now? This galaxy is an experiment. In fact, it is not only an experiment, but also represents a puzzle left by the predecessors."

Professor Zinov showed a relieved smile instead: "Puzzles? I have liked guessing riddles and doing Sudoku since I was a child, and I know that there is no unsolvable media in this world, even enlightened people are no exception." That is to say, if we can solve this puzzle, the civilization of our generation may grow to the level of enlightened people."

And if it can't be done, it means that the upper limit of this hopeless civilization generation is nothing more than that.Maybe, when everyone figured out how to restore the black technologies in the ruins of the Enlightened Ones, the civilization would basically be cleansed.

Although the professor didn't say it clearly in the second half, everyone is not a fool and can feel it.

Cinderella couldn't help laughing: "You once again proved to me that pulling prejudice is actually the right choice."

"The good news is that the aggressiveness and aggression of this star colonizer are actually not strong, and after waking up, he will definitely focus all his attention on the stars over there. If nothing else, with this The existing combat power of the galaxy can be completed." Cinderella put her finger on her lips: "The bad news is that as a guide, I actually have social phobia. My existence is a secret. .If anyone other than you guys knows of my existence, I will never appear again in the future."

Professor Zinov suddenly said: "Cinderella, can I ask another question?"

"Okay, as long as it's not a prohibited item, and something I don't want to answer, I will tell you the truth."

Professor Zinov has once again confirmed that the enlightened beings of the previous generation have indeed mastered the ability to create life.After all, decent robots don't talk nonsense, but dishonest lifeforms do.

"So, can you tell me why you are helping us?"

"I will help all the individuals and civilizations that I like. Of course, you will help more." Cinderella smiled: "The more reason is the prohibited items."

Eisen also raised his hand cautiously: "So, my esteemed lady, how long will it take for this star colonizer to wake up?"

He began to ponder the possibility of bringing in reinforcements.After all, the "captain" has educated them that the best art of war is always force and operation.Actually, this lady said that everyone's current combat power can deal with this star colonizer, so if we call more fleets, wouldn't the fault tolerance rate be higher?

Then, Cinderella smiled and gestured with five fingers.

"Five months? Five weeks? Not five days?"

"Five, four, three..."
