Chapter 490: Star Deployment and Wormhole Array

Perhaps because of what Fang Yunsheng had said in advance, the crew members on the two warships were quite kind to Chen Fan.

The moment Chen Fan made the request, the two warships towed the planet behind them towards the predetermined coordinates without hesitation.

Even in the vast starry sky, facing a 100,000-meter-class warship still brought an unprecedented shock to everyone in the starship - 100,000 meters, or 100 kilometers, can almost be said to be a city flying in the starry sky!

As for the red dwarf following closely behind this battleship, there is no need to mention it.

Even though red dwarfs are small main-sequence stars, they are still much larger than regular gas giant planets.

In front of such a star, even a battleship of 100,000 meters in size is just a tiny speck of dust.

In comparison, the battleship towing the neutron star is much more low-key.
The diameter of a neutron star is only 13 kilometers, which is even one-tenth the size of a battleship.

But within this stellar body of only 13 kilometers, there is hidden an extremely violent force - the high temperature of over one million degrees Celsius on the surface makes the entire planet emit a dazzling deep blue light, and to match it is the powerful gravity that is strong enough to overcome the strong interaction force!

The star, which is only 13 kilometers in diameter, is perfectly hidden in this deep blue light. With the help of the visual assistance system, Chen Fan and others can look beyond this layer of light and clearly see the extremely smooth surface of the neutron star.

The mass of the neutron star far exceeds that of the red dwarf, so the warship towing it travels much slower.

Watching the planet emitting dazzling blue light slowly floating past the porthole, Chen Fan couldn't help but sweat on his forehead - if it weren't for the protection of the investigator starship, they would have turned into a pool of microscopic particles on the surface of the neutron star.

Time passes bit by bit.

The battleship towing the red dwarf star arrived at the predetermined coordinates first. It slowly rotated in the empty starry sky, and the surrounding space and time also showed slight distortion.

Its gravitational field has begun to spread slowly in all directions at the speed of light, but due to its small mass, the range that this gravitational field can ultimately affect will not be too large - according to preliminary estimates, it can only reach the entrance to the warp channel not far away.

Chen Fan's heart moved, and he turned his gaze to the deep blue neutron star.

It is the key core to building the gravitational bond - not only is its own mass and gravitational field strong, it is even closer to the entrance of the warp channel.

Towed by the battleship, the neutron star drew a deep trench in the ocean of space and time, and slowly and steadily reached that critical node.

When both planets successfully "entered orbit", the constantly fluctuating and deforming space-time field in the space-time field monitoring screen above the starship's main console gradually stabilized, and two gravitational fields, one large and one small, that were spreading outward while rotating were also clearly presented in the monitoring screen.

The neutron star and the red dwarf are tens of light years apart. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least five years for the gravitational fields of the two to make initial contact.

Chen Fan will definitely not just sit there and wait.

——Not to mention the scorpions that came from every corner of the universe, even this anti-universe bubble might not last for five years.

According to Wang Jing's simulation calculation results, it will take about four to five years from the initial destruction of the cosmic membrane to the complete collapse of the anti-cosmic bubble.

In this process, the collapse of the cosmic membrane will not cause many strange phenomena in the first few years, and the civilizations in the universe generally will not notice many problems.

It was nothing more than some stars at the edge of the universe suddenly disappearing in the starry sky, or the macroscopic gravitational veins of the universe shifting at a certain angle...

Under normal circumstances, only a level eight civilization would be able to observe these signs before the cosmic collapse.

But ironically, almost all level eight civilizations cannot guess the reasons behind these phenomena - they have never left the cosmic bubble, and naturally they would not have thought that one day the cosmic bubble would collapse silently.

Until the last year or last few months of the collapse.

Just like an avalanche, the collapse of the cosmic membrane will suddenly accelerate at a certain point in time, and the cosmic bubble will be completely exposed in the five-dimensional space in just a few months.

then……

Countless substances derived from the universe will gush out in an instant and eventually dissipate in the vast five-dimensional space. The civilization that does not master the five-dimensional navigation ability will naturally completely perish in this process.

This is the process of the demise of a cosmic bubble, rapid and cruel.

Compared with the lifespan of a cosmic bubble, which can easily be tens of billions of years, the collapse process of just four or five years is not much different from a single instant.

"Your Excellency Chen Fan."

The crew's voice came from the communication channel, pulling Chen Fan out of his wandering thoughts: "Is there anything else you need help with?"

"Next..."

Chen Fan calmed down and said concisely: "Build a wormhole."

He lowered his head and operated on the holographic interface in front of him, sending a string of coordinates that had been carefully calculated by the research ship's onboard main brain to the two warships.

"The specific coordinates have been sent to you."

Chen Fan looked solemn and emphasized again: "Remember, what I need is a semi-permanent wormhole."

Semi-permanent wormhole.

Different from the temporary wormhole opened by a starship during a jump, it can exist in the starry sky for a longer period of time with the help of a wormhole maintenance device.

But compared with permanent wormholes, also known as star gates, this type of wormhole has a rather fatal drawback - its transmission process is point-to-point, while star gates are multi-point transmissions.

In other words, a semi-permanent wormhole has only one exit, while a stargate can lead to dozens or even hundreds of universes.

Of course, the construction difficulty of the two is also completely different.

The construction of each stargate requires a lot of calculations and verification work. The construction period of a large stargate is usually calculated in hundreds of years. As for semi-permanent wormholes...

To put it simply, it is a temporary wormhole equipped with a stabilizing device.

In general, although the manufacturing process is relatively simple, the maintenance cost is high, and even point-to-point transmission is only possible...

In this way, semi-permanent wormholes have almost become a useless technology - for the human network that has mastered vacuum zero-point energy, the cost of opening a temporary wormhole is extremely low. Under normal circumstances, no one will waste the energy to build a semi-permanent wormhole.

It was for this reason that after hearing Chen Fan’s instructions, a hint of confusion flashed across the faces of the two crew members at the same time.

Although they were extremely puzzled by such an action, as soldiers, and with Fang Yunsheng's previous order to unconditionally cooperate, the two crew members saluted Chen Fan and turned around to make arrangements.

Setting up a semi-permanent wormhole is not a difficult task.

There are ready-made wormhole maintenance devices in the battleship's warehouse, so the crew members only need to place the maintenance devices at the corresponding coordinate points.

The only difficulty that is not a big problem is that part of the wormhole maintenance device needs to be placed around the neutron star, and the huge gravity of the neutron star is bound to have a certain impact on the wormhole maintenance device.

This problem was quickly solved - the crew added an extra set of space anchors to the wormhole maintenance device.

Using space as an anchor, this space anchor device can even resist the gravity of a black hole, and naturally can easily overcome the gravity of a neutron star.

During the process of building the semi-permanent wormhole, dense prompt messages began to pop up in the holographic interface in front of Chen Fan.

[In the A13 star field of the Creation Land, the star deployment work has been completed. 】

[A75 star field, wormhole array has been deployed. ]

[B33 star field, C14 star field...]

In just half an hour, thousands of reports from the entire Creation Land were presented to Chen Fan.

It's not just the two warships in front of us. In other star fields in the Land of Creation, large-scale warships are carrying out their respective tasks in an orderly manner, either pulling stars or setting up semi-permanent wormholes in the starry sky.

……

at the same time.

A star field two thousand light years away from the place of creation.

Accompanied by beams of dark matter powerful enough to tear apart the starry sky, tens of thousands of warships came from all directions, forming a huge encirclement in the starry sky with a scale of more than fifty light years.

In the encirclement, there were hundreds of millions of giant scorpions. These were the last batch of giant scorpions in the star field near the Creation Land, and they were also the farthest away from the Creation Land and the most well-preserved. They were hardly affected by the annihilation starburst and subsequent gamma rays. At the same time, thanks to Chen Fan's home-changing strategy, most of the remaining scorpions were 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions that had mastered dimensional technology.

There is no doubt that this is the toughest nut to crack. Even the peacekeeping fleet cannot resolve the battle in a short period of time relying solely on conventional attack methods.

suddenly.

A gray hyperspherical structure passed through the starry sky and hovered quietly in front of the scorpion group.

Wow!
Dazzling light comparable to that of a star is released from the edge of the hyperspherical structure. It is pure light and heat, and also the energy released in the process of dimensionality reduction.

In the light, the shadow of the super sphere gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a spherical starship that was completely silver-white!

The starship is not large in scale, and is far less majestic than those warships that are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in size.

But when it appeared in the starry sky, there was still considerable chaos and commotion among the scorpion group.

They looked at this almost completely still spherical battleship, their scarlet eyes filled with intense fear - just a while ago, this unprepossessing battleship had killed millions of their own kind with just one shot.

Those millions of their own kind are the most powerful soldier insects who have mastered dimensional technology!

It was this shot that woke up the scorpions that had fallen into a state of madness.

Putting aside the combat capability of this spherical battleship, just looking at the many battleships following behind the spherical battleship, which one is easy to mess with - thinking of this, the scene of the previous fleet's salvo once again deeply stimulated the nerves of these giant scorpions.

Inside this spherical battleship, Fang Yunsheng was frowning, carefully observing the reaction of the scorpion group.

"It starts again."

Fang Yunsheng exclaimed softly, and murmured in a low voice: "Why do I feel that these giant scorpions are like schizophrenia, either crazy or ridiculously cowardly?"

"I don't know how long I can stay awake this time..."

"It's a bit strange indeed." Beside Fang Yunsheng, Xu Mingqi's eyes moved and he made a guess, "It looks like he was affected by something."

"Maybe... it's the queen?"

"Queen?" Fang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly, "Not likely. If they were seeking revenge for the queen, these giant scorpions should have been focused on finding Chen Fan and the others."

"After all, the queen was killed by Chen Fan, and has nothing to do with our peacekeeping fleet."

Hearing this, Xu Mingqi's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Yes, the peacekeeping fleet did not kill the queen scorpion, but a single salvo from the peacekeeping fleet directly wiped out nearly half of the scorpion group!

Having said that, Xu Mingqi also knew that there must be something wrong with the condition of these giant scorpions in front of him - since the flagship fortress arrived at the front battlefield, the scorpions' sometimes crazy and sometimes cowardly state has repeated three times.

It is precisely because of this grasp that the fleet was able to take advantage of the giant scorpions' cowardice and drive the scorpions to this remote star region 2000 light-years away from the place of creation.

In the holographic interface, the giant scorpion was still retreating, and the fear in its scarlet eyes was almost overflowing.

But in the next second.

The scorpions' retreating momentum suddenly stopped.

The leading giant scorpion stared at the flagship fortress in front of it. In its four scarlet eyes, the fear that penetrated deep into its bones slowly faded away, and was replaced by a gradually intense madness.

just like……

The silver-white spherical warship in front of him was like a mortal enemy, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it and eat its flesh alive.

It raised its head, opened its ferocious mouth and let out a silent roar towards the boundless starry sky.

next moment.

The giant scorpion took the lead in attacking. Instead of retreating, it advanced and launched a counterattack against the warship once again.

"Yeah, it's crazy again." Fang Yunsheng shrugged helplessly, "This time it only lasted less than ten minutes. It seems that the unknown influence is getting more and more serious."

"It is estimated that the other giant scorpions in this cosmic bubble... have also been affected in the same way."

As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed across Fang Yunsheng's eyes.

Scorpions are not scary.

Even if the scorpion group is hundreds of times larger, the fleet is confident that it can deal with them - at worst, they can turn the table in advance and directly detonate this cosmic bubble.

But the unknown power hidden behind the scorpion group made him feel a little uneasy.

He turned his head and glanced at the holographic interface beside him. Soon, the vague uneasiness was completely wiped out by a prompt message in the interface.

"Two thousand light years of redundancy should theoretically have no impact on the Place of Creation."

Fang Yunsheng calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Notify Genesis Fortress and prepare to reduce the speed of light constant in the target star field!"

The words fell.

The space-time fluctuations like a tsunami suddenly swept over, and a huge blurry shadow suddenly emerged in the distant starry sky.

In the continuous tsunami of time and space, the gray shadow covering the sky and the sun gradually became clear, and the double-pyramid Genesis Fortress once again revealed its true appearance.

A dazzling white light of unknown origin emanated from its surroundings, dimming the bright stars in the sky.

……

"Start generating wormholes!"

Looking at the word "Ready" on the full screen of the holographic interface, Chen Fan took a deep breath and issued the final order.

The plan to save the Kraken has officially begun!
hum...

As waves of slight space-time fluctuations spread out, thousands of bright white light spots lit up in the starry sky outside the porthole one after another.

Each light spot is an independent wormhole maintenance device. They are separated from each other by thousands or even hundreds of millions of kilometers, forming a large network between the red dwarf and the neutron star.

As the output power of the device began to increase, a number of constantly rotating and mutually corresponding wormholes quickly appeared above the maintenance device.

The gravitational field coming from the direction of the red dwarf and the neutron star silently sank into the wormhole, and with the help of the wormhole channel, it crossed the long distance of several light years in the blink of an eye and reached the gravitational balance point of the two stars.

In the monitoring footage of the investigator starship, the two gravitational forces intertwined with each other and soon formed a gravitational bond that was invisible to the naked eye.

Just like the DNA of a living organism, the gravitational bond of the double helix structure spirals and extends forward in the starry sky, as if attracted by something, stretching straight towards the warped channel not far away.

At the same time, a gravitational bond with the same structure suddenly emerged from the warp channel and headed straight for the gravitational bond that was about to reach the warp channel.

After a violent fluctuation, the two gravitational bonds successfully merged and formed a more stable gravitational chain in the starry sky.

"…successful."

Looking at the gravitational bond gradually becoming stable, Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene before us is not an isolated case.

With the cooperation of many warships, countless gravitational ties of varying thickness appeared out of thin air in the entire land of creation. Relying on warp channels and artificially made wormhole arrays, they intertwined with each other in the starry sky, once again constructing a macroscopic gravitational structure spanning more than 8,000 light years!
Boom!
The moment this macroscopic gravitational structure took shape, a sudden change occurred!

The pale red nebula that was previously almost at a standstill seemed to be affected by something and began to move slowly.

Those hazy and discrete interstellar materials continued to surge under the influence of microgravity, just like the blood in the blood vessels, spreading extremely slowly towards the holes all over the land of creation!
