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

Chapter 496 Coordinate Modification
Although the Star Scorpion in [Suzheng]'s description only mastered dimensional technology, Chen Fan did not think so.

Judging from the information we have so far, the giant scorpion's strength is proportional to its size.

On the one hand, the anti-universe scorpion group is likely to be born from those giant star scorpions. On the other hand, larvae that master information technology have already appeared in the hatching organs of the giant scorpion queen.

Combining the two, it makes no sense that the giant scorpions that appeared in the node universe would not have mastered information technology.

[Su Zheng] The reason why it didn't see this is probably because its strength is too weak - for a primitive man, there is actually not much difference between a super-large-yield TNT explosion and a nuclear bomb. After all, it is just an explosion, a white light, and then... nothing else.

"Damn it!"

After figuring out many of the details, Chen Fan's expression changed completely.

Peacekeeping fleet may be in danger!!
Chen Fan did not hesitate. He didn't even have time to say hello to Kraken beside him. He turned around and prepared to rush towards the star field where the investigator's starship was.

Under his control, the space around the consciousness body rapidly distorted, and a small but powerful curvature bubble quickly appeared in the starry sky.

As the curvature bubble took shape, the familiar starry sky in front of him suddenly changed. Countless deep blue starlight "smashed" towards him. This was a phenomenon of drastic blue shift of the starlight. If he looked behind him at this time, he would see an extremely dark starry sky, and all the light was left behind him.

The distance of ten light years is neither far nor near.

Based on past experience, this distance would take at least dozens of minutes.

The dozens of minutes of journey that he didn't care about in the past now seemed like a deadly chasm to Chen Fan - every second wasted would increase the probability of the peacekeeping fleet encountering danger!
the other side.

As the strong space-time fluctuations whizzed past, the consciousness body that was originally flashing with faint fluorescence instantly disappeared into the starry sky, leaving only a slowly undulating ocean of starlight in its place.

【…? 】

Kraken stared blankly at the empty starry sky in front of him, and slowly sent out a stream of information filled with doubts.

Weren’t we just having a nice chat?

Why did you suddenly turn around and leave?
Feeling the time and space fluctuations constantly echoing in the starry sky, Kraken's mood became more and more strange.

I left just like that, but why would I use...

Such a low-level way of moving?
The sea of ​​light fluctuated more and more violently, and Kraken's thoughts instantly crossed the starry sky and extended in the direction of the curvature fluctuations.

Soon, he saw a khaki starship and two large warships with a silver-white base and bright red patterns on the surface in the starry sky ten light years away.

【this……】

Kraken was increasingly confused, and he murmured in a low voice: [Curvature travel... How long will this take? ]

[Could it be that the messenger has his own plans? ]

[What should I do then? Should I follow? Or should I stay where I am?]

After struggling for several minutes, Kraken finally gave up his useless thinking.

He decided to chase after him and ask.

As Kraken thought, the originally fluctuating ocean of starlight suddenly collapsed, turning into countless tiny points of light, gradually dissipating into the starry sky.

……

Chen Fan anxiously drove the surrounding space and time, trying to increase the curvature of space and time again, so as to obtain a higher curvature navigation speed.

but……

Perhaps it was due to his own lack of strength, or perhaps it was the limitation of curvature navigation itself. No matter how hard he tried, the curved space-time did not change at all, and accordingly, the speed of curvature navigation did not change much.

"Tsk..."

Chen Fan let out a light sigh, and the irritability and uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

suddenly!

A familiar wave of information came from the starry sky directly in front of him, suddenly interrupting many thoughts in his mind.

"Kraken?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Isn't he still in the star field behind? How come... he suddenly ran to the front?"

Although he was in the curvature state for a short time, only a few minutes, but if you calculate carefully, he had at least crossed a distance of one light year.

He clearly had the advantage of being one step ahead, so how did Kraken "overtake" him in such a short time?

Is it...

Is there any unknown warp channel in this star field?

If that's the case, then perhaps we can take a shortcut for the remaining nine light years?

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's mind moved, and the curvature bubble surrounding his body dissipated instantly, and he also left the curvature state.

The blue starry sky before his eyes returned to normal again, and right in front of him, light red starlight gathered together, forming the familiar ocean of starlight again.

"Kraken, hurry up, tell me the coordinates of the warp channel in this star field!"

Before the Guanghai was fully formed, Chen Fan could not wait to send a message to Kraken: "I have to get back as soon as possible!"

【…Warp channel? 】

Kraken was stunned for a moment, but seeing Chen Fan's extremely anxious look, he did not dare to ask any more questions and directly told Chen Fan all the coordinates of the warp channels that he knew.

"..."

After receiving the information from Kraken, Chen Fan began to carefully look at the warp channel distribution map from Kraken.

but……

No!

There is no warp channel within a radius of several light years!
The nearest warp channel is the area where the investigator starship is located!

"There's no warp tunnel nearby?" Chen Fan raised his head suddenly and looked at the Kraken in front of him in disbelief. "Then how did you get ahead of me?"

【Dear messenger, I have a question. 】

Facing Chen Fan's questioning, Kraken lowered his posture as much as possible and asked cautiously: [Why do you... want to use curvature navigation, an alternative way of moving? ]

Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

Warp speed navigation?

Alternative?

What a niche way to describe it.

Ever since joining the Human Union, curvature navigation has been the most common and most common method of propulsion. How come in the Kraken's mouth, this panacea method has become an alternative?

"No need for warp navigation..." Chen Fan was shocked by Kraken's words. He widened his eyes and stared at him, "What other method can be used?"

"Wormhole?"

"I don't know how to convert high-dimensional coordinates!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sea of ​​light in the starry sky suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

Streams of information filled with surprise continuously spread out from it. Obviously, Chen Fan's words brought great shock to Kraken.

[No, no, no…]

Kraken denied it repeatedly: [Although the wormhole is slightly more ingenious than curvature navigation, it is still not an excellent method.]

Chen Fan took a breath of cold air: "???"

What the hell?

If Kraken's previous words only shocked him, then this sentence completely overturned his worldview.

Wormholes aren’t considered an excellent method?
Isn't Kraken being too arrogant?
As powerful as the Human Union is, the most advanced means of transportation today is the Star Gate, but the basic principle of the Star Gate is also the wormhole!

Looking at Chen Fan who was completely stunned, Kraken sorted out his words and asked in a tentative tone: [Are you...really not aware of this method of moving by modifying coordinates? ]

Coordinate modification?

Chen Fan shook his head in confusion. He had never even heard of this term, let alone its deeper application.

【hiss……】

Now it was Kraken's turn to gasp: [With your life class, this shouldn't happen! ! ]

Life class, life class again!
What on earth is this life class? !

Chen Fan, who was worried about the peacekeeping fleet, didn't bother to ask in detail and interrupted Kraken directly: "Let's talk about this later. Tell me the method of modifying the coordinates first."

Although it is still unclear what happened, it is not difficult to see the urgency of the situation from Chen Fan's performance. Kraken naturally did not delay. As the sea of ​​light fluctuated, a stream of information with a unique format quickly emerged from it.

Chen Fan, who was already familiar with the transmission of information flow, did not hesitate at all and took the initiative to raise his hand to touch the obviously more complicated information flow.

hum...

At the moment of contact, countless complex information flooded into Chen Fan's mind violently.

Due to the human body structure and behavioral habits, many thoughts that flash through our minds are often expressed in the form of sounds - don't believe it? When you read this sentence, you should subconsciously recite it in your mind.

Although Chen Fan is now a conscious being, he still retains many human habits.

Therefore, this complex flow of information turned into a series of fragmented murmurs in Chen Fan's mind in the blink of an eye, as if the Kraken was telling him something carefully.

These whispers mixed together and formed a buzzing sound for a very short time.

Although this buzzing sound only lasted for a very short time, it still brought a great shock to Chen Fan——

Isn't this humming the obscure sound he heard in the high-dimensional resonance? !

However, the buzz formed by the Kraken's information flow is far less complex than high-dimensional resonance.

As long as Chen Fan calms down and carefully identifies, he can still understand every piece of information in it - if the information flow of Kraken is ten people talking in his ear at the same time, then the high-dimensional resonance of broadcasting civilization may be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people narrating at the same time!

That's simply not the amount of information a normal person can handle!

Chen Fan, who vaguely recognized the essence of high-dimensional resonance, suppressed his thoughts and began to carefully analyze the information transmitted by Kraken.

For Chen Fan, these seemingly complicated information are not difficult to understand.

After just a few seconds, he understood the secret.

In Kraken's view, everything in the world is made up of countless information. They are both the carriers of information and the external manifestations of information.

Mass, volume, temperature, size, coordinates...

These complex information are mixed together to form a real substance. The movement of an object, to put it simply, is the change of coordinates.

Unlike coordinate changes in the mathematical sense, in the real world, if you want to change the coordinates of an object, you must use various means.

Whether it is chemical fuel propulsion or curvature navigation, they are essentially the same - they are all changing the coordinate information of an object.

To put it simply, the so-called coordinate modification is actually to directly modify the coordinate information of oneself or an object, so that oneself or an object can appear directly at the target location.

Skip the intermediate change process and get the result directly.

To put it bluntly, this method of moving by directly modifying coordinates is actually a unique means of information manipulation.

"No wonder the Human Alliance is still using wormholes..."

Chen Fan, who understood the principle, could not help but sigh in his heart: "Without mastering the theory of material information, it is impossible to use this method of movement."

What Kraken said before was indeed correct.

Compared with coordinate modification, curvature navigation and wormhole jump are indeed quite alternative means.

Even in Chen Fan's opinion, Kraken's words were still "gentle" - for a creature that has mastered information manipulation technology, using curvature technology to travel is completely a waste of time.

If we have to make a comparison, it is equivalent to using a smart terminal as a flashlight.

"So... relying on coordinate modification technology, I can reach any corner of the universe in an instant?"

No, I'm afraid it's not just in the universe.

This method of movement may also work outside the cosmic bubble - the corresponding five-dimensional coordinate information also exists in the natural order field near the hyperspace membrane.

But when Chen Fan expressed his thoughts, Kraken denied it.

[It is not easy to directly modify the information of a substance. ]

Kraken explained: [During the modification process, the greater the deviation between the new coordinates and the original coordinates, the more energy is consumed. ]

[Not only that, the change in dimension will also affect the energy consumption of coordinate modification. The higher the dimension, the more energy is consumed. ]

Chen Fan frowned slightly: "What's the reason?"

[I don't know, but this is a real phenomenon.] Kraken's message was a little confused, [I only know how to use it.]

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, and a new idea emerged in his mind again: "Since the coordinate information of an object can be directly modified, what about its other properties?"

"Mass, volume, temperature..."

“Can this information be modified?”

When asking this question, a series of chilling methods involuntarily emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

For example, if the volume of an object is modified to be small enough, even a cell or a speck of dust will collapse into an extremely tiny black hole in an instant!

This is an even more unreasonable means of attack than regular weapons!
There are still some basic principles to follow when it comes to rule weapons!

【……I have no idea.】

Facing Chen Fan's question, Kraken was silent for a moment, and the fluctuations in the sea of ​​light also calmed down a lot: [I have tried before, but... I didn't succeed. ]

Chen Fan was silent.

It seems that this issue has to be left to the Human Union Academy of Sciences to study.

The Kraken only acts on instinct, and as for him...

Not even instinct.

If it weren't for Kraken's help, he would probably still be struggling to travel using curvature technology!

boom……

Sudden.

Another wave came from the end of the starry sky.

Chen Fan subconsciously looked up, and after just one glance, his expression changed slightly again.

A huge pit appeared again in the distant starry sky. Not only that, but several more cracks appeared on the cosmic membrane.

Genesis Fortress has started up again.

Needless to say, the enemy that Genesis Fortress is facing this time is probably a group of scorpions coming from every corner of the universe!!
……

Nine light years away.

The investigator starship and two battleships hovered silently in the starry sky.

In the distance, rows of semi-permanent wormholes operate quietly, providing the necessary "acceleration" for the gravitational ties diffused in the starry sky.

"It seems like Brother Fan has been away for a long time this time."

Gao Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet cockpit.

Redstone glanced at the completed five-dimensional puzzle in the holographic interface.

More than half an hour ago, Zero, who was far away in the main universe of the Human Union, had completed the piecing together of these five-dimensional puzzles and was waiting for Chen Fan to bring a brand new five-dimensional structure.

"It's been a while indeed." Hongshi's eyes showed a trace of helplessness, "I don't know what happened, and we don't have any way to contact him now..."

Not to mention the means of contact, they couldn't even determine the location of Chen Fan's consciousness - unless Chen Fan actively entered the curvature state.

"Could it be that the Kraken has awakened, so Chen Fan hasn't come back yet?" Isa on the side speculated softly.

Hongshi's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's really possible!"

"If that's true, that's great news!"

So far, they have only completed the information flow fragments within a range of ten light years.

The scale of the Land of Creation is eight thousand light years. At the current speed, who knows how long it will take to complete the repair of the information fragments!
"I think it's difficult." Gao Yuan shrugged. "That nebula life, it sounds very mysterious. Who knows if it will..."

"Shut up!" *2
Isa and Hongshi shouted in unison, interrupting Gao Yuan's spell casting in advance.

suddenly.

While the three were arguing, the pale red starlight seemed to be guided by some force and gradually condensed in the empty starry sky.

This strange sight quickly attracted the attention of the three people, and also attracted the attention of the two warships in the distance - almost at the moment when the light red starlight condensed, a dazzling black light appeared at the muzzles of the two warships.

"This is……"

Seeing the black light getting stronger and stronger, Redstone was the first to come to his senses, and hurriedly sent a message from two warships: "It's the Star God Kraken! This is a friendly force, don't fire!!"

wow...

As the sound of Redstone fell, the black light from the muzzle quickly dimmed.

At the same time, the starlight outside the porthole gradually gathered into an ocean, and a tiny figure covered in starlight stepped out from the sea of ​​light.

next second.

Under the shocked gazes of Redstone and the other two, the figure wrapped in starlight suddenly appeared in the starship cockpit.

"...Chen, Chen Fan?" Isa raised her head, the azure light in her mechanical eyes flickered slightly under her hood, and her voice trembled a little, "Is it you?"

Under the gaze of the three people, the figure seemed to nod.

Then, it suddenly collapsed!
As the light red starlight dissipated, Chen Fan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also opened his eyes.

"Is that figure really you?" Looking at the awakened Chen Fan, Hongshi's eyes flashed with joy, "How did you come back? Why didn't the investigator starship detect the curvature fluctuation?"

"Also, those starlights outside... Has the Kraken awakened?"

Listening to Hongshi's series of questions, Chen Fan waved his hands repeatedly: "I'll explain these things later."

"There are more important things right now."

Hongshi couldn't help but be stunned.

At this point, what could be more important than the Kraken and the cutting of the microcosm?
Chen Fan opened the communication interface very skillfully: "One, help me contact General Fang Yunsheng."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Hongshi's eyes suddenly widened: "Who?!"

"Fang Yunsheng? General?"

"Wait, wait...are you talking about General Fang from the peacekeeping fleet?"

Before Chen Fan could reply, a righteous man wearing the uniform of the Human Alliance Army appeared on the communication interface.

"Hey, it's Brother Chen Fan. Didn't I ask a team to assist you? What trouble have you run into again?"

Listening to the hearty voice coming from the communication interface, Hongshi turned his head stiffly, looked at the communication interface, and then looked at Chen Fan who had a serious expression on his face.

We are all Level III investigators, so why do you have this relationship?

Not to mention the Academy of Sciences, how come you also know people from the military?!
"General Fang, please order the fleet to retreat immediately!" Chen Fan's voice was extremely serious.

Redstone: "Huh???"

No, buddy?!
Is she crazy or is she still asleep?

Since when did a mere investigator become able to talk to the military like this?
"..."

In the communication interface, Fang Yunsheng frowned.

Finished!

Seeing this scene, Hongshi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Exceeding authority and interfering with the Human Alliance military...

To put it in a serious way, this will result in a military court!
"General Fang, Chen Fan is a newcomer in the administration and may not know the rules very well. You..." In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Hongshi did not have time to think and hurriedly explained for Chen Fan.

"Okay." Fang Yunsheng nodded quickly, turned around and gave an order to the side, "Notify the fleet to stop advancing and retreat 5,000 light years!"

"Snapped."

Hongshi raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, making a crisp sound.

"crazy……"

Her eyes widened as she murmured in a low voice: "This world has finally gone crazy..."
