With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 206 Black Hole Battery
Intrusion alert.

For the People's Federation, this is a very serious and bad incident.

Let’s start with the invasion that occurred within the People’s Federation.

Civilization invasion war is an untouchable red line, especially the unilateral invasion of low-level civilization by high-level civilization, which is strictly prohibited by the People's Federation.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Any civilization immersed in internal strife will inevitably not survive for long.

Let’s talk about outside the borders of the People’s Federation.

An unknown civilization invades the civilization within the League of People. Is this called an invasion?
This is a declaration of war against the People's Federation!

Therefore, when Chen Fan said those words, the communication channel quickly fell into silence.

In the holographic projection, the black and white Mochi sat upright in front of the camera, silently waiting for Yi's response.

If there is no external interference, it can remain in this state for many years until the final heat death occurs.

This is a standard small universe.

The Star Gate is built within this small universe with a diameter of nearly five hundred light years - the giant structure located in the central area of ​​the small universe is the Star Gate itself.

For the vast majority of intelligent creatures, these two words are probably the most accurate description of the five-dimensional space.

With just a glance, the huge amount of information is enough to crush the brains of most intelligent beings into a pile of rotten meat.

Although the People's Federation has already mastered the means of protection for looking directly into the five-dimensional space, in order to ensure safety, the star gate is still built in a small universe of a suitable size.

The reason is simple - it contains too much information.

Needless to say, Gao Yuan and Isha, as assistant investigators, naturally looked at Chen Fan nervously at this time.

Within the entire Human Alliance, except for a very small number of extremely talented races, almost all races and civilizations have to use various protection and buffer devices to enter and observe the five-dimensional space.

What appeared in front of him at this time was an extremely deep and dark regular universe.

Isolated and silent.

It cannot be looked at directly and cannot be described.

The main reason why the star gate is built in a separate small universe is to ensure the safety of the vast majority of intelligent creatures.

"As of now, no civilization has detected an invasion distress signal from the space bubble near the EL13697101 universe."

Except for the giant building that spans more than two hundred light-years in the central area of ​​the universe, the entire space is shrouded in pure darkness.

These standard small universes produced from the assembly line have exactly the same basic parameters, just like standardized foundations. They can not only be used to build star gates, but also can be used for the construction of various infrastructures.

Chen Fan was the only one. He had just broken free from the resonance of his thoughts and subconsciously looked out the porthole.

Suddenly, a familiar electronic synthesized sound rang in the cockpit of the starship.

The starship has escaped from the wormhole, and the bizarre five-dimensional space has completely disappeared.

Chen Fan stared at the darkness outside the porthole window, recalling the bizarre scenes he saw in the resonance.

For most three-dimensional creatures, the danger of five-dimensional space is still too great.

While interrupting Chen Fan's thoughts, it also relieved the originally tense atmosphere.

"...Let me just say, I have been in the People's Federation for so long, and I have never heard of any civilization that dares to invade."

In the holographic projection, Mochi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the fluff that was originally swollen also became docile.

As for Chen Fan...

The moment I heard the electronic synthesized sound, I couldn't help but frown.

"There is no civilization to call for help? How is this possible?"

The distress signal he "heard" during his mental resonance resurfaced in his mind.

He heard it right, it was definitely a distress signal from a civilization that was being invaded!
Thinking that the channels connected to him when his thoughts resonated were relatively mixed, Chen Fan couldn't help but have an incredible idea in his mind: "Isn't it the civilization within the People's Federation that sent a distress signal?"

Considering that Varela's artificial intelligence crisis has not yet been resolved, Chen Fan suppressed the confusion in his heart and turned to look at Mochi in the holographic projection: "Mochi, please open another wormhole."

As he spoke, he operated on the main console of the starship and sent out a coordinate.

Naturally, Mochi didn't hesitate at all about Chen Fan's request.

He skillfully entered the coordinates into the console in front of him, and then pressed the one-key start button.

Just like the operation process of a starship, in most cases, the control method of the stargate is also quite simple.

The moment a familiar light lit up near the Varela, Chen Fan also turned his attention to the stargate that occupied almost half of the porthole.

It was a huge ring-shaped structure with a diameter of two hundred light years.

An extremely large number of mechanical devices are attached to the surface of the ring structure, and they can accurately control various parameters of the star gate.

The inside of the ring is the core of the star gate - a super-large permanent wormhole.

The surrounding ring structure not only plays a role in precise control, but also plays a role in constraining the wormhole.

Of course, the current ring structure is an empty cosmic space - the construction of the star gate has not been completely completed, so naturally he cannot witness the grand scene of the super-large wormhole with his own eyes.

Huge energy pathways with inner diameters exceeding the scale of conventional stars extend from the giant ring.

These thick energy pathways are intertwined with each other more than fifty light years away from the star gate itself, and form a huge hollow cage. There is extreme darkness inside the cage, and even the light from the giant ring cannot dispel the depth within it.

"Inside it is a very large black hole that has swallowed up a large number of river systems."

Sensing the focus of Chen Fan's gaze, Mochi introduced in a unique sharp voice: "The material conversion device can extract the mass of the black hole and convert it all into energy. In most cases, the energy source for the star gate operation comes from This black hole."

"You can think of it as a large battery. When the mass of this black hole 'battery' is exhausted, the People's Association will send a new black hole 'battery' again."

Listening to Mochi's words, Chen Fan's face showed a look of shock involuntarily.

Tether the black hole and treat it like an ordinary battery...

Awesome.

Chen Fan sighed in his heart.

"Then the source of these black holes..."

He seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"These black holes are basically artificially synthesized, so the scale and size can be exactly the same."

Mochi smiled: "I know what you are worried about. The raw materials for making these black holes basically come from naturally formed black holes."

Chen Fan was secretly shocked: "Are there so many black holes..."

"Of course." Mochi nodded, "You have never seen some universes that are in decline, where there are almost no stars and planets."

"Black holes, large and small, can be found everywhere in the entire universe."

"A universe that is on the verge of death is the best place to collect black holes. With a little polishing, these natural black holes can become artificial black holes of uniform scale."

"Even the dying universe itself can serve as fuel, and the vacuum zero-point energy reactor works based on this principle."

Chen Fan's eyes widened and he nodded with a sigh.

It really opened his eyes.

His eyes moved slightly and he looked at the base of the giant ring.

It was a platform that stretched for more than two hundred light years.

There are huge pillars shining brightly on the platform.

"Those are the vacuum zero-point energy reactors I just mentioned." Mochi continued to introduce, "Normally they are not used. They only start working when the stargate enters full power operation. Their output power is comparable to that of a black hole battery. Much more.”

"I know what you're going to ask, why not just use a vacuum zero-point energy reactor all the time, right?"

Seeing Chen Fan nodding in recognition, Mochi sighed: "Everything has a price, and energy naturally does not come without a price."

"Vacuum zero-point energy seems to be able to continuously extract energy from empty space, but its essence is a kind of 'borrowing', borrowing from the universe itself."

"When the vacuum zero-point energy is greatly extracted, the cosmic bubble will also stop expanding until it collapses."

"Just like overpumping groundwater, the surface will collapse."

"Of course, there is a solution." Mochi shrugged his chubby body and spread his two small paws in front of him, "As I just said, use those dying universes as fuel."

"There are many such decaying universes in the huge five-dimensional space. As of now, the People's Federation does not need to worry about the energy crisis."

The moment the words fell, the flickering light spots on the side of the starship quietly stabilized, and a small wormhole also emerged from the light spots.

Under the control of the ship's main brain, the [Varilla] slowly sailed towards the wormhole.

"By the way, there's something I've always wanted to say..."

Seeing the starship about to leave the stargate, Mochi in the holographic projection suddenly showed a tangled look on his face: "The color scheme of your starship..."

"I've seen many investigators, but I've never seen this unique starship color scheme!"

"Not bad! Very personal!"

Swish!
The starship rushed into the wormhole, and the cross-universe communication interface was automatically cut off.

"Very personal..."

Listening to the slight echo lingering in the cockpit, Chen Fan's face suddenly darkened.

But he didn't bother to explain to Mochi the origin of the starship's color scheme - the familiar, bizarre five-dimensional space appeared before his eyes again.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and prepared to enter the resonance state again: "One, remember to pull me out of the resonance state."

He wanted to listen carefully to the unknown distress signal again!
but……

Until the twisted wormhole channel dissipated again, Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the unfamiliar starry sky outside the porthole.

Failed?
He didn't enter the so-called resonance state of thinking?
"The coordinates of the starship have been determined."

"It has escaped the limitations of the small universe."

"Looking for Varela..."

The shipboard main brain quickly sent out a prompt message: "The target has been successfully located!"

At the same time, a bright white dotted line appeared in the holographic projection on the main console, and the starship was also driven towards the target by the curvature engine.
