Him and their stars.

Chapter 1833 To Become Water

As a result, the Xunli, which should have been unable to bear the load, was accelerated before the engine speed entered the next stage.

Fortunately, they were not completely left behind by the majestic and proud posture of the group of dome whales.

"So, is all this also within your calculation?" Captain Nemo looked at Yu Lian behind the bridge, only to see that the commander had actually begun to close his eyes and rest.

At this time, the navigator also brought over his latest analysis results, "The speed is still stable. The flow direction of the gravity river can be determined. At the 5 o'clock direction, there is confirmed to be a gravity well."

Before he had even finished his words, all the whales, guided by the glorious outline of the space whale, instantly turned into points of light and disappeared into the distance.

Their leaping posture was so smooth, as if they were sailing in the widest waterway.

Immediately afterwards, the river of light composed of Ti Yangkai and the gravitational flow also extended into a light band near the gravity vortex that was invisible to the naked eye, and slid into the distance.

They are always following the direction of the dome whale. This is no longer just pilgrims following their gods, but closer to a biological instinct.

In certain circumstances, the instinctive behavior of living things actually possesses a more glorious and solemn divinity than religious rituals.

The Science Museum murmured, "I initially thought that Ti Yangkai was a migratory bird, how come he has become a lemming now?"

Of course, some people will be moved by this spectacular scene, while others will always consider things from a realistic perspective. For example, Captain Nemo frowned and thought: "...I remember that there is nothing in the Abyss Nebula that can take the route of the large fleet."

"Yes. All the gravity wells we encountered along the way were very narrow. Now this one..." The navigator read the gravity index three times, built a gravity well model with the terminal, and calculated it again in his mind. Then he said in a not very convincing tone: "It should be the same situation. Probably..."

If not, how could the Abyss Nebula, the most "prosperous" lawless place in the universe, be born? How could the Great Freedom City, a free and easy "city of freedom", appear?

Of course, the expedition of the Great Khan of the Plunderers two years ago proved that there were clear routes in the "outskirts" of the nebula, and gave the empire the idea of ​​"opening the border of the abyss", but this only proved that the scope of the so-called "Abyss Nebula" could be slightly reduced, and it did not mean that it did not exist.

In fact, during the two weeks that the Pilgrimage was heading towards the Pirate City, everyone's navigation was not smooth at all.

"So what is this now?" The captain pointed to the front end of the gravity river, looking like you're kidding me.

Look at those Qiongjing and Tiyangkai who jumped away in an instant just now? The number of giant beasts that entered the gravity channel in a single batch is at least more than 2,000. The empire's annihilation fleet is of this scale.

Narrow channel? How narrow is it? Even the main trade routes such as the open sea or Femo that can run Poseidon ships are only this narrow.

The navigator looked at the dashboard in front of him with sweat on his forehead. He recalculated and said with a stiff face, "Perhaps it's because of gravity operation or something? Don't we have a gravity river now? Hey, Captain, how would I know such a thing? Who do you think I am? Marshal Cook? Marshal Luckner? Or some master of the 'wisdom' star ring?"

The navigator has always been a well-trained and excellent technical officer. If he took off his military uniform, he would be fully qualified to teach astrophysics and navigation surveying at a university. This meticulous officer started to complain, which showed that he was still shaken.

At this time, Yu Lian, who was resting with his eyes closed, had already felt a discordant tremor. Although he had lived two lives, there was no doubt that this was the first time he could sense the existence of danger across the entire galaxy.

Is it an illusion?

Yu Lian's hesitation lasted less than a second.

He couldn't even be sure whether it was a naturally occurring danger or man-made malice, but he was sure that something would happen there.

This feeling is very mysterious, as if the soul has been freed from the constraints of the body, transformed into a true quantum state and traveled through the starry sky, able to see the past and the future.

Remember the anchor point of life. Yu Lian thought of this reminder, and his soul quickly returned to his body.

He exhaled a thick, muddy breath, as if he was spitting out a bunch of life impurities into the distant deep space. Then, he felt that his life and power level were about to rise to another level.

I am about to shatter the void!

I am already invincible!

...Well, this is what is called using the tail as a flagpole. Yu Lian forced himself to calm down. Although I am stronger, I am not bald after all, and I am still far from being invincible.

Now he is more convinced than ever that he has indeed reached a higher position than his previous life.

On the destiny star wheel composed of soul power, new star positions are flashing, and his physical strength and energy have actually recovered a lot.

However, he didn't have time to be complacent now. Yu Lian opened his eyes and saw Xiao Hui's eyes. The robot lady had a teachable expression.

"It seems that you really haven't forgotten your sister's reminder, and haven't forgotten the anchor of life!"

"Huh, I thought you really didn't understand psychic powers." Yu Lian said with a smile.

"I really don't understand." Xiao Hui spread his hands: "How many times have I told you? How many times have I told you? All the mystical phenomena I have shown so far are simulations."

"Then you can still see my state just now?"

"How could I not see it? Everyone can see the pheromones overflowing from your brain. Ahahaha, your state just now was very similar to that of the great dome whale. Of course, it was also very similar to me."

At this point, Xiao Hui revealed a regretful expression, and reached out to gently touch Yu Lian's face, with a hint of melancholy in his voice: "Yes, very similar to me..."

When Feifei appeared on the bridge carrying herbal tea, this was exactly the scene she saw.

Then, the robot lady's body instantly lost its substance again, and her transparent palms and wrists easily brushed across Yu Lian's face and shoulders.

Miss Gray Wind turned around, put her hands on her hips and looked at Feifei who seemed to be smiling. She pointed at Yu Lian and said, "He was quantized just now. Sister Feina, what about you?"

Feifei said: "When we enter and exit the virtual realm, strictly speaking, it is all quantized."

"Oh? Is this the explanation of the Void Realm given by the academic community of your generation?"

"No, the academic community has not given an explanation. I just used a possibility that most people have guessed."

“Ahahaha, this time is different. But, as I said, remember the feeling now, remember the anchor of life.” After leaving these final instructions, Gray Wind was like a ghost... no, like a wind-like woman, gone with the wind, or rather, she switched to the state of being omnipresent again.

However, Yu Lian felt an unprecedented solemnity, but he didn't know whether it was the result of simulation or the true feelings.

"She's serious. Very serious." Feifei smiled.

"Yes, it's rare to see Miss Grey Wind in warrior state." Yu Lian clicked his tongue and for a moment he was actually a little excited.

At this time, Captain Nemo also sent a report: "Our ship has captured the gravity well signal and is ready to start the jump engine. Where are the others?"

"Gravity well signal confirmed! Reading in progress. The force field constant is only... uh, only 0.12?" The navigator exclaimed in disbelief.

This number immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

"Isn't it true that the only way this can be carried out is by a small cargo ship?" Captain Nemo said angrily, looking like he was about to throw his pencil.

Anne seemed to realize something: "What about the gravitational field around this ship?"

"It's still running, no problems! It's still running! Oh my god! It doesn't even have any clothes." The surveyor exclaimed: "The equilibrium model of the gravitational flow we are in is still there! How can I believe my eyes?"

Mr. Surveyor has become a mouthpiece for most of his comrades. For example, the Chief Scientific Officer is now holding his head with both hands, his eyes are dazed, and he is mumbling incoherent words.

He was no longer prepared to believe his own eyes, or even the knowledge in his head.

As an outstanding military officer who has received professional training, higher education and is even qualified to teach at a university, he has truly experienced what the curse of knowledge is.

The gravitational torrent formed by Ti Yangkai and others did not conflict with the gravitational vortex of the gravity well. Instead, it naturally merged together to form a round whole.

Such a whole is so perfect that it is hard to imagine that it could be produced naturally.

...Of course, if there were a few more fanatical animist idealists at the scene, they would probably start asking everyone to kneel down and pray to the spirit of the universe.

Because it is perfect, it is natural. Because it is natural, there must be a creator in the dark.

At this moment, the only thing left in the hearts of the crew of the Xunli was humility.

At this moment, Yu Lian's voice also floated over: "Jump engine, don't move. Our friends, we are now a small drop of water in the river of gravity. Be like water, my comrades."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they felt that the commander was telling another cold joke that no one could understand, at least his attitude was firm and his order was almost a resolution.

After all, it was an order from Commander Yu, so everyone chose to accept and execute it. After all, he had proven himself right countless times.

Of course, if it were any other commander, such an counterintuitive order might have caused the crew to rebel.

The jump engine of the Xunli remained silent after all. Everyone concentrated and watched Ti Yangkai enter the passage ahead, waiting for their own fate to come.

After all, they didn't have to wait too long. The passages and rooms inside the ship began to tremble, and a strange humming sound began to resound faintly. That was the effect of the ship being captured by the gravity well.

Then, outside the porthole, the strange space everyone saw began to distort, and the light seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, forming strange light bands. These light bands kept spinning, interweaving, and circling, but gradually dissipated from the field of vision that the naked eye could reach. The vortex of position that was born immediately revealed only a few inaudible ripples in the starry sky, adding a little rhythmic mist to the deep universe.

Of course, it is called fog, but in fact it is a visual dislocation formed by gravitational entanglement.

But beneath the truly boiling and rippling wonderful ripples, a vortex appeared, pointing directly to the other side of the void.

"This ship is about to enter the jump state! Repeat, this ship is about to enter the jump state!" The navigator began to report.

His voice had become completely robotic, and he looked as if he didn't even have the energy to collapse from loving anyone.

There is no way. Being forced to enter the jump state without starting the jump engine is no longer a strange thing, but a subversion of all views.

"All ships should be prepared for battle, but stay calm!" Yu Lian ordered again: "What is about to happen is likely to overturn all of our understanding of combat, so you all need to stay calm!"

Yu Lian's tone now sounded like he was telling a ghost story, and it indeed succeeded in calming everyone down.

The distorted strong light disappeared into everyone's sight at this moment, almost depriving the soldiers of their vision.

This was also a very typical jump reaction, and certainly would not cause the battle-hardened crew members to panic. Their vision soon became clear. Then, a new sun was pulsating with brilliance at the end of the horizon.

To many people's eyes, it looks like a dim candlelight that is about to go out, but it is indeed flickering.

This is actually more stable than most stars.

"We actually succeeded?" After the captain exclaimed in disbelief, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

The soldiers really felt that they had made history. Disguised as Ti Yangkai, they completed the jump without activating the jump engine. Even if it was put in the game, this should be a very cool achievement, right?

Even Yu Lian felt quite proud now, but he still calmly instructed: "Keep sailing as you are now, and don't get out of the gravitational flow."

"That means I don't have to do anything." Anne smiled. Her hands still did not return to her beloved steering wheel, and she was still sitting in the comfortable sofa chair, relaxing as if she was on vacation.

"Everyone can eat first." Yu Lian said, "Eat more while you can. Otherwise, who knows when the enemy will come to attack you."

"Eating in front of a bunch of Tiyangkai squids?" Captain Nemo said with a wry smile.

When he said this, outside the porthole in the background behind him, there really was a young boy named Yang Kai, who was "only" two or three hundred meters long, swaggering past the porthole. At his closest point, he was less than a hundred meters away from the Relic.

The science officer felt that with his mortal IQ, he could now honestly give up physics. Maybe biology would be more suitable for him, so he said slowly: "It is difficult for us to be sure that something like Yang Kai would have an organ like eyes."

Indeed, although Ti Yangkai is called a space squid, its appearance is really more like an oyster mushroom with a bunch of tentacles and covered with rock-like armor, and it does not really have any organs that look like eyes.

In fact, the academic community has confirmed thousands of years ago that Tiyangkai communicates with its own kind and even other Leviathans through the perception of pheromones, and can also complete spatial perception and object identification.

Of course, although they have no eyes, under the top of their mushroom-like upper body, there is an organ similar to a mouth. It is a petal-shaped organ hidden under a thick shell, which is enough to crush asteroids rich in heavy metal elements and even tear apart the armor plates of battleships.

"Can it tear open our bridge?" the science officer muttered.
