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

Chapter 499 Unknown pollution!

The place of creation.

Chen Fan stared at the direction where the last gap disappeared, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.

After the intersection of the space-time cliff, the Land of Creation was completely cut off from the anti-universe bubble. No matter starlight, space-time fluctuations, or tachyon signals, they could not pass through this spherical space-time cliff. Theoretically, only hyperspace membrane broadcasting could directly pass across it to transmit information to the interior of the Land of Creation.

Of course, pure information flow at a higher level than the hyperspace membrane is also possible.

[Has the microcosmic cutting been completed? ]

A wave of information came from the fluctuating sea of ​​light beside him, waking Chen Fan from his thoughts.

"Not yet. To be precise, we have only completed the first half of the work."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, the fluctuations of the light sea suddenly paused, and Kraken also sent him a big question mark: [? ]

[I can no longer sense the existence of the Great Cosmic Bubble, how could this be...]

Chen Fan thought for a moment, sorted out his words and then explained to the Kraken who had a serious "biased" academic performance - as a nebula life form with a certain ability to manipulate information flow, Kraken's basic understanding of the universe all comes from daily life experience and the little information transmitted by the ghost fleet. This cannot even be described as a simple bias.

If I have to describe it, Kraken at this time is equivalent to a graduate student who was directly admitted just after mastering the four arithmetic operations.

"Although the space-time cliff has severed the connection between the Land of Creation and the universe, this is only temporary."

"Today, the Land of Creation does not have its own cosmic membrane, and it has not officially escaped the gravitational range of the universe."

"As long as the space-time cliff disappears, the universe will absorb the place of creation back again."

“Although a space-time cliff of this scale is not so easy to disappear, it is still a hidden danger.”

"A more important reason is that without the protection of the cosmic membrane, the entire place of creation will soon dissipate into countless basic particles and information flows in the five-dimensional space."

Kraken suddenly realized.

【I see. 】

[Then the second half of the work is to build a cosmic membrane for the land of creation? ]

Chen Fan nodded to confirm Kraken's words.

[Then...what should we do?] Kraken was at a loss, [I have never come into contact with anything like this.]

[Also, will the cosmic membrane...?]

"Peace of mind."

Chen Fan laughed dumbly and waved his hand to interrupt Kraken's words: "The second half of the work has nothing to do with us. The Genesis Fortress outside will handle all the aftermath."

"As for you..."

"Since there was no impact on the first half of the cutting work, theoretically, there shouldn't be any major problems later on."

After hearing this, Kraken felt a little relieved.

next moment.

A huge double-pyramid shadow swept rapidly across the starry sky, and the starry sky, which was originally shrouded in deep darkness, also underwent some indescribable changes.

If the depths of the starry sky were previously filled with darkness that could swallow up all light, causing this starry sky to look exceptionally dim, then as the double-pyramid shadow passed by, this starry sky suddenly became "bright"!
just like……

The darkness deep in the starry sky seemed to be dispelled by something!
"Here."

Chen Fan pointed at the starry sky in front of him and said, "Did you see that? The Genesis Fortress has already started applying film to the Land of Creation."

"If I remember correctly, when applying the membrane to the small universe, it will also add some specific structures to this layer of universe membrane to prevent the secondary fusion of the large and small universes."

Chen Fan's mumbling did not get a response from the Kraken, but he did not think much about it and just continued to explain: "After all the work is completed, it will pull the place of creation away from the anti-universe bubble. At that time, the cutting of the entire small universe will be completely completed..."

Suddenly, an electromagnetic wave communication came from the investigator starship, interrupting Chen Fan's words.

[Chen Fan! Something went wrong with Kraken! ! ]

Chen Fan's voice suddenly paused. Without time to think, he turned his head and looked at the sea of ​​light beside him.

The originally gently fluctuating sea of ​​light had unknowingly turned into raging waves!

"Kraken?!" Chen Fan shouted subconsciously, "Can you hear me?"

No response.

There are only increasingly turbulent waves of light.

"Damn..."

Chen Fan cursed in a low voice, and then his heart moved. Along with a faint flow of information dissipating, his consciousness disappeared directly into the starry sky.

When his consciousness reappeared, he was already standing in a star field hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Sea of ​​Light.

After zooming out, everything became clear - before, the sea of ​​light formed by the Kraken consciousness was like a ball of light in the starry sky. Although there were some ups and downs inside, its general shape was still spherical. But now, this ball of light seemed to be stimulated by something, and countless sharp light thorns appeared on its surface.

Each ray of light was composed of the raging waves that Chen Fan and the investigator starship had just seen!
"What exactly is going on……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan became more and more anxious.

We have clearly passed the most dangerous stage, so how could this happen?

shuh...

The fluctuations of time and space flashed by in the quiet starry sky.

Chen Fan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the space-time fluctuations came from. The moment the space-time fluctuations dissipated, the investigator starship appeared in the gradually brightening starry sky.

Looking at the familiar earth-yellow round starship, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to the distant sea of ​​light: "It turned out to be an investigator starship, I thought..."

Before he could finish his words, his expression changed: “Wait!”

"No...something's wrong..."

Unlike its usual bright and beautiful appearance, the investigator starship in sight had no damage on the outside, but it looked very dull overall.

There are many reasons for this situation, but the most likely and easiest to happen is actually only one situation:
The starship shield disappeared - the composite shield was light gold, so when the shield was turned on, the originally yellow investigator starship would be stained with a layer of golden light, making it appear particularly bright.

The starship driving rules clearly stipulate that during starship driving, even if there is no danger around, in order to ensure the safety of the starship pilot and passengers, any starship must activate a minimum emergency shield.

Although the shipborne main brain can make defensive responses when attacked, it is obviously not a good thing to rely on the shipborne main brain for everything. What if the shipborne main brain malfunctions?
As a veteran Level III investigator, Hongshi would never make such a low-level mistake.

That leaves only one reason.

"problem occurs!"

After realizing this, Chen Fan's face suddenly turned ugly.

He ignored the increasingly ferocious ball of light in the starry sky and rushed directly towards the investigator starship in the distance.

……

In just a blink of an eye, Chen Fan's consciousness had arrived right in front of the starship.

But his expression did not improve at all, and even became uglier after seeing the condition of the starship clearly - the investigator starship had completely shut down, not to mention the composite shield, even the curvature engine had completely stopped.

In other words, the starship did not actively escape from the curvature state, but directly "fell" out of the curvature navigation!

Fortunately, the quality of the Investigator starship is good enough and the internal space anchoring technology is powerful enough, otherwise... this emergency landing alone would be enough to turn the interior of the starship into a mess!
Chen Fan's face was tense, and his consciousness moved towards the porthole of the starship's cockpit.

The porthole that was strong enough to withstand a supernova explosion did not pose any obstruction, and he easily passed through the porthole and entered the cockpit.

As soon as he entered the cab, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

The situation was far worse than he had expected - the cab was completely dark with only a few emergency lights still working. The holographic control interface and console had long been silent. As for the three people from Redstone, they lay quietly and crookedly on the co-pilot and passenger seats.

Chen Fan's mind moved, and he directly controlled his consciousness to drill back into the body sitting in the main driver's seat.

After regaining consciousness, he ignored the completely black screen of the starship's central console and hurriedly stood up to check on the status of his three companions.

In comparison, Isa and Gao Yuan's conditions are obviously more serious.

Although the two men were in a coma, their hideous faces clearly revealed the pain they were in when they were awake.

Although Hongshi also fell into a coma with her eyes closed, her expression was still calm. Obviously, she was not greatly shocked.

Chen Fan calmed himself down, reached out and gently lifted Isa's black hood.

Looking at the extremely pale, almost bloodless face, Chen Fan couldn't help but frowning - damn, he is not a doctor!

"One, conduct a scan diagnosis immediately." Chen Fan subconsciously gave the order.

After waiting for a while, the familiar holographic interface and the bright white scanning beam did not appear.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment and looked down at his right hand.

The silver-white smart terminal fits silently against his skin, but there is no light flowing on its surface. At first glance, it looks like a silver-white glove that could not be more ordinary.

"grass……"

Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly: "Even the smart terminal is down, what happened here..."

As soon as he said this, an idea flashed through Chen Fan's mind. From the time he left Guanghai to the time the starship appeared, there was only fifteen seconds at most.

In just fifteen seconds, such astonishing damage could be caused to the Human Alliance starship. In Chen Fan's impression, there is only one possibility -

"Information storm?!"

Chen Fan widened his eyes and murmured in disbelief.

Can……

Where does this information storm come from?
Why didn't he feel it?

In order to verify his guess, he took a deep breath, reached out and gently opened Isa's tightly closed right eyelid - the information storm would bring a huge burden to the brain of an organism. In this process, congestion of the eyeballs was almost an inevitable sequelae. If the information storm was strong enough, it could even cause symptoms such as bleeding from all seven orifices.

"hiss……"

As soon as he opened Isa's right eyelid, Chen Fan couldn't help but take a breath.

Under the thin eyelids, the whites of the eyes were filled with fine and dense bloodshot, dyeing the entire whites of the eyes blood red.

But that's not the point.

What really shocked Chen Fan was the densely packed tiny tumors scattered on Ishane's eyelids!

This scene directly reminded Chen Fan of the many scenes he had seen on the TE913 research vessel.

What kind of information flow storm is this!

This is clearly information pollution!!
It is the information pollution released by broadcast civilization!!!

"Fuck..."

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at the ferocious ball of light outside the porthole, which had turned into a "sea urchin".

Now, the reason why the Kraken became like this can be determined - for information-state life, the lethality of information pollution is no different from carbon-based organisms facing a nuclear explosion.

"We're in big trouble..."

Chen Fan frowned and muttered to himself.

The status of Kraken is unknown, the life and death of the three Redstone people is uncertain, the investigator starship has also fallen into a state of shutdown, and the worst thing is that Wang Jing’s research ship is not in the microcosm at this time!

In order to successfully cut this small universe with a scale of 10,000 light years, after the Kraken was successfully awakened, Wang Jing drove the scientific research ship to temporarily leave the place of creation and provide technical guidance for the Genesis Fortress.

After briefly reviewing the situation, Chen Fan suddenly felt his entire body numb.

Without any external aid, without any technical and equipment support...

How can I play this horse?!

Chen Fan sat dejectedly in the driver's seat, exhaled heavily and managed to regain his composure.

“…We must first find the source of information pollution.”

He muttered to himself, squinting his eyes and looking around the cockpit, as if he had noticed something.

suddenly.

There was a very faint noise coming from the passenger seat next to me.

Chen Fan's ears twitched and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Hongshi slowly opened his eyes which had turned completely blood red due to congestion, with a look of pain and confusion on his face: "Chen... Chen Fan?"

"it's me."

Seeing Hongshi waking up, Chen Fan was delighted, and the original irritability in his heart instantly disappeared.

It would be great if we could communicate normally!

At least he could quickly figure out what happened in those short fifteen seconds!
"here……"

Chen Fan raised his hand and pointed at Isa and Gao Yuan who were still in a coma, as well as the dark starship cockpit: "What's going on?"

Hongshi frowned even more deeply. Perhaps because of the information pollution that impacted her brain, her eyes were still filled with confusion: "I..."

She raised her hand in some pain and gently supported her smooth forehead. After thinking for a long time, she murmured softly: "It seems to be an information flow shock..."

"After Kraken became abnormal, I felt dizzy. Isa and Gao Yuan even fainted."

"At the same time, the shipboard main brain also issued a warning message of abnormal fluctuations in information entropy."

Redstone's voice gradually became smoother: "After realizing the problem, I subconsciously gave the starship an order to enter the warp state."

"And then……"

Hongshi's face turned paler and paler: "I completely lost consciousness."

Chen Fan frowned and nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, before Redstone woke up, he had already vaguely sensed some abnormalities in the surrounding environment - he did not feel any signs of information pollution in the investigator starship.

Not to mention the investigator starship, even on the three people of Redstone, there was not a trace of residual information pollution.

This in itself is not surprising. The essence of information pollution is information flow, which is inherently difficult to preserve. Even ordinary information flow will quickly dissipate after losing some necessary means of maintenance.

But combined with what Redstone said just now, it actually leads to a very clear answer.

Information pollution comes from Kraken.

To be more precise, only the Kraken was attacked by information pollution.

Be it the Investigator Starship or the three Redstone people, they were merely affected by the aftermath.

"Kraken..."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at the sea urchin-shaped ball of light outside the porthole.

He never expected that even though he paid close attention, the microcosmic cutting still had an impact on the Kraken, but...

Both the timing and process of the impact did not match his expectations.

"...I suspect this thing was created by the broadcasting civilization. In any case, I have to go to Kraken and take a look first."

Facing Hongshi's tired and painful eyes, Chen Fan said in a deep voice: "You take a rest first. If the ship's main brain recovers, help send Isa and Gao Yuan to the medical cabin."

"And you yourself, go stay in the medical bay for a while."

Hongshi nodded weakly, hesitating: "You...be careful."

Chen Fan didn't say anything, but closed his eyes again with a gloomy face.

……

Chen Fan controlled his consciousness to leave his body with ease, pass through the hull of the starship, and quickly came to the pale red light ball that looked like a sea urchin.

Before actually entering this sea of ​​light, Chen Fan's expression had already changed slightly.

He didn't notice it when he was far away, but now that he ventured to the side of the Kraken, he felt something was wrong - waves of chaotic information were constantly escaping from this sea of ​​light and quickly disappearing into the starry sky.

Chen Fan looked at it carefully and his expression became serious:
Most of this chaotic information fluctuation is meaningless information sent by the Kraken, but mixed in it is a wave of information that Chen Fan is quite familiar with.

When he realized this, Chen Fan's heart finally died.

"Damn it, it's really the radio civilization that's behind this..."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth and rushed directly into the sea of ​​light constructed by the Kraken consciousness - at least, he had considerable experience in how to deal with the pollution of broadcast civilization information.

Of course, this is also due to his special physique.

For some reason, the information pollution of radio civilization did not have much negative effect on him.

As soon as he entered the sea of ​​light, Chen Fan felt that the familiar information fluctuations instantly became dozens of times stronger. This information pollution from unknown source raged in Kraken's consciousness, messing up his consciousness.

After just a quick glance, Chen Fan suddenly realized:
Without external help, the Kraken could only hold out for a few minutes at most before the fragments of consciousness that had just been pieced together would collapse again.

Moreover, unlike the previous collapse, the fragments of consciousness contaminated by information are likely to be less easy to recover.

In other words, if he was late for a few minutes, the Kraken's consciousness would disappear completely, and this small universe that had just been cut would become a coffin to store the Kraken's body!
After realizing this, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all. He followed his past experience and accurately guided the information pollution from the broadcast civilization to flow towards himself.

shuh...

Under Chen Fan's guidance, faint ripples that were imperceptible to the naked eye slowly surged in the sea of ​​light. They emanated from every corner of the sea of ​​light and swept towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan stared intently at the overwhelming information flow in front of him with an extremely serious expression - these seemingly ordinary information flows contain extremely large amounts of polluted information.

Under ideal conditions, just one such information flow would be enough to plunge an advanced civilization into irretrievable destruction!
Time passes bit by bit.

A tiny information storm slowly took shape in the ever-undulating sea of ​​light!

ps: The cause of the computer failure has been found. The graphics card bracket was adjusted too high, which made the graphics card gold finger crooked... How could it be like this? I thought the graphics card boomed...
