Chapter 1620 Breaking the Stalemate by Leveraging External Forces
A reverse force field generator was found inside the cave entrance, clearly pointing to the fact that this fissure had been sealed by Sersorn.

Given Sersorn's style of doing things, he should have deployed monitoring equipment for these kinds of "old problems," had a sufficient understanding of the stability of this space, and given clear warnings about such vulnerable areas, just like they did for the other high-level coordinates of the Noah.

but no.

The Noah's arrival at the start of its jump was immediately explained by the collapse of the spatial barrier and the ensuing turbulence. However, everyone knew that any extra emotions were pointless at this moment.

"A reverse force field generator?!" Old Dupuy looked up abruptly. "Is the energy device intact? Immediately search the surrounding area for any remaining generators!"

Seeing that Old Dupu had suddenly become excited, Cen Fangyuan asked, "Are you trying to imitate Sersorn's hedging method? But the remaining mechanical energy on it is already very weak..."

"It's alright, it's alright! It's still a breakthrough direction." Old Dupu stared impatiently at the screen, waiting for the results. "If there are enough of them buried around, they might be able to replace the energy-concentrating ring blasting plan and send us out."

Cen Fangyuan's eyes lit up: "Is the key quantity? These things have been in the rift for who knows how long. The space can be broken with a single poke. I suppose the energy stored inside is probably almost gone. Can they still generate enough energy shockwaves?"

"No, no, no!" Old Du Fu quickly denied, but a smile appeared on his lips. "These are two different theories."

"I've studied it carefully. The strongest countermeasure of Therthorn is the negative gravity energy bomb, which generates enough reverse traction force instantly after detonation to directly counteract and destroy the channel. The effect is fierce and direct. So what is the role of the reverse force field generator?"

"It's more like a cleanup logistics unit, responsible for using stable traction to help the collapsed passage close more quickly and stably, in case the counterforce generated by the negative gravity energy bomb is too great or too small, insufficient to close it, or instead creates a new hole."

"After the channel closes, it will continue to release a weak but stable negative traction near the weak space to stabilize the previously cracked gap. You can think of it as a scar traction device to help and stabilize the new scar to grow firmly and not easily crack."

"The reverse force field generator also generates negative energy traction, but because of its patch-like positioning, the released energy is usually low and lasts for a long time. This is also to delay the process of the fracture opening decaying and fracturing again as much as possible. But we don't need to worry about this!"

Old Dupp tried to stand up as he spoke, but his chubby body was firmly secured to the seat by the seatbelt, and he wobbled but failed.

He didn't seem to mind; instead, he laughed even harder.

“Now that the barrier has broken, the normal settings of the reverse force field generators are completely insufficient to provide enough negative traction. But as long as their underlying principles still work and there are enough of them to form a ring matrix around the rift, we can force them to blast with sufficiently strong energy.”

“We’ll give them reverse energy, overload them to generate maximum traction, and create enough counterforce to block the gravitational pull of the rift; at the same time, the shock wave from the overload explosion of the machine will also give us a boost, plus the thrust of the engine itself…” Old Dupu’s eyes gleamed as he watched the points constantly refreshing on the screen, his fingers flying across the terminal.

On the research department's shared platform, researchers perform simultaneous calculations, and the data is constantly updated, providing increasingly solid data support for new solutions.

Old Dupu excitedly shared the data stream to the main control screen, pointing at the screen and shouting loudly, regardless of whether others could understand it:

"This plan is currently the most feasible and least costly! It causes almost no damage to the ship's hull, all the materials are readily available, and all that's needed is a timed start-up device and a charging interface; assembly is very quick. Now it just depends on whether we have enough generators for the encirclement—the more, the greater the kinetic energy generated by the explosion, and the better our chances of breaking through..."

"If we prepare in advance and operate properly, we can make minor adjustments to the direction and crash back into the jump tunnel to continue the interrupted spatial jump!"

Upon hearing this, Cen Fangyuan's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

"Isn't this plan risky?" Cui Yan asked coldly. "For example, will the ship need to turn around? Although the engine power allows for free steering, the Noah's overall structure is a diamond-shaped cone. The difference in drag between the stern and the bow could have a critical impact." "Ideally, the bow should be forward," Old Dupu nodded in agreement. "But in the current situation, we have no chance to turn around."

"Resisting such a huge traction force is already the result of the engines running at full load. Turning will only add extra operational burden... You might not get the idea just from hearing me say it. Xinglan! Based on the current situation, conduct a dynamic simulation demonstration of the ship's turning!"

"Xinglan received! Command generation in progress... Simulation commencement!"

In the center of the screen, a simulated model of the Noah at the crevice immediately appeared, showing the ship violently rocking in the turbulent currents, with the shaking intensifying rapidly as soon as it began to turn.

“Look,” Old Dupp explained with a dynamic analogy, “when turning at the limit, the power that was originally being used to maintain the engine is diverted to the steering and balance systems, the resistance is greatly reduced, and we will be dragged in faster.”

"Furthermore, when a starship turns, the surface area directly facing the traction force will increase exponentially, which means..."

Before he could finish speaking, the model Noah suddenly lurched forward, sinking completely into the crevice. The ship spun sideways, shaking violently, but it couldn't shake off the pull from the side.

“Look, this is how it will end up,” Old Thup sighed helplessly. “It’s like we’ve actively increased the range of a magnet’s attraction. As a result, we can’t get rid of it until the traction force weakens on its own. Even if there were enough reverse force field generators to explode, the resulting impact energy might not be enough to pull us off the gravity, let alone send us out.”

“Pushing it out like this now, although the resistance is greater than if the bow were in front, it is the best solution under unavoidable circumstances. In contrast,” Old Dupu closed the simulation screen, revealing the increasingly dense distribution of generator points below, “there are advantages to having more points, but there are also disadvantages: how to accurately and quickly bind the equipment to these spreading machines has become the biggest challenge.”

"I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Xingchen and Apollo." Cen Fangyuan looked at the lights still twinkling on the distant battle line and asked, "What are the data calculation results? Can you guarantee the energy interface and equipment completion?"

“Based on the simulation calculations of the existing seventy-three mechanical points, the recoil force has far exceeded the gravitational force of the fracture, and it can definitely break through.” Old Dupu carefully checked the calculation results. “There is still a quarter of the fan-shaped area that has not been explored. The number should increase, and the success rate will only be higher.”

"To mitigate the probability of malfunction and ensure sufficient impact, we plan to superimpose explosive units on the energy block: timers will be activated simultaneously to first charge the equipment, causing a surge in negative traction force to counteract gravity and create temporary space for the starship to move outward; then, the overloaded equipment will explode, and the unused energy, along with the superimposed explosive units, will trigger a chain reaction of explosions. Multiple shockwaves will form a ring matrix, further blocking the gravitational field while providing enough thrust to send us out."

"The current calculation data is very promising. The model has been uploaded to Xinglan, who will oversee the calculations and check for any omissions..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xinglan displayed the confirmation result on the big screen: including all kinds of mistakes, malfunctions and other unexpected situations, the success rate of the solution still exceeded 87%.

"As for the actual operations such as interface integration," Old Dupu finally felt relieved, his smile becoming relaxed, and he confidently patted his chest, "Produced by the Research Department, quality guaranteed!"

"Alright!" Cen Fangyuan and Cui Yan exchanged a glance and immediately ordered Old Du Pu, "From now on, all resources and personnel on the Noah ship will be at the disposal of the research department. You must complete the component assembly as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" Old Dupu responded loudly, unlocked the safety lock, and swayed as he walked out.

"Watch out!" Jin Sichen caught Cen Fangyuan's gaze and quickly stepped forward to support his arm. "I'll take you there."

"Thank you." Old Dupu was preoccupied with the details of implementing the plan and simply took Jin Sichen's words as well-intentioned.

“I’ll go too, to facilitate the transport of supplies.” Cui Yan also stood up calmly, glanced at Cen Fangyuan, and said, “Call me if you need anything.”

Cen Fangyuan nodded, not bothering to say more, and connected to Xingchen's communication.
