Chapter 504: The nd Information Jet

The moment Genesis Fortress appeared...

No.

To be precise, when the Genesis Fortress was weaving the cosmic membrane for the microcosm, a chain reaction occurred in the cosmic membrane that had already been laid.

They become tougher!

Not only that, they began to spontaneously repair the small hole that Chen Fan had just drilled! !
Unlike the huge holes on the cosmic membrane, the holes drilled by Chen Fan were very small and did not exceed the self-repair range of the cosmic membrane at all.

then……

As the cosmic membrane began to repair itself, a strong sense of repulsion came from all directions, as if trying to completely squeeze out the foreign object embedded in the cosmic membrane.

"Fuck!"

Chen Fan's face changed drastically and he subconsciously let out a cry of surprise.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to the polluted information flow surging from farther away, and directly mobilized the energy in his consciousness, trying to resist the feeling of being squeezed and repelled from all directions.

Chen Fan didn't feel much about this unexpected situation.

Compared with the resistance encountered when penetrating the cosmic membrane, this repulsive force is really not worth mentioning - of course, the premise is that there is sufficient energy.

but……

The Kraken, who was still acting as a living battery inside the microcosm, obviously didn't think so.

……

Inside the microcosm.

The ocean of starlight, which had shrunk to a size of one hundred kilometers, undulated slightly at the edge of the universe.

Kraken silently watched the consciousness body in front of him, of which only half was left and the light on its surface was gradually stabilizing. The other half of its body had already penetrated into the cosmic membrane, so Kraken, who was inside the microcosm, naturally could not see his existence.

Perhaps because of his life class, the time Chen Fan took to break through this cosmic membrane was much less than it did for him tens of millions of years ago.

Not only that, the energy consumed by Chen Fan was far less than Kraken's expected value.

It consumed about 70% of his energy reserves.

This is already an extremely astonishing amplitude - if He had consumed only this amount of energy tens of millions of years ago to break through the cosmic membrane, He would not have fallen into a million-year-long slumber.

Feeling the remaining vacuum zero-point energy in his body, Kraken subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, He focused all His attention on Chen Fan - He was ready to forcibly "pull" Chen Fan back to the microcosm.

One second, ten seconds, one minute...

【Um? 】

Looking at the half of consciousness hanging on the cosmic membrane, Kraken finally felt a little confused.

Logically speaking, Chen Fan should have come into contact with the "high-dimensional desert" at this time, and accordingly, his consciousness would also begin to self-disintegrate.

Can……

Why has there been no abnormality in Chen Fan's consciousness until now?
Before Kraken could figure out the reason, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

Along with a strong flow of polluted information sweeping in from the distant star field, a powerful suction force also came from the half of the consciousness hanging on the cosmic membrane, devouring the remaining vacuum zero-point energy in his body in an almost predatory manner!
The shrinking sea of ​​starlight began to fluctuate violently, and a vague message spread out from it:

[…No, buddy?!]

Feeling the rapidly decreasing vacuum zero-point energy reserves in his body, Kraken's face turned green.

Didn't they succeed in crossing the cosmic membrane? Why did the messenger start absorbing His vacuum zero-point energy again?

and……

You don't even want to act anymore, right?!

Previously, I asked Him to actively supply vacuum zero-point energy, but now, He just starts pumping without saying anything, right?!

[Even if you are the messenger mentioned in the prophecy, this is too...]

The ocean of starlight was fluctuating more and more violently, and the information sent by Kraken also revealed a hint of resentment.

【too……】

Kraken stammered for a moment, and his mind quickly flashed through the shocking scene of the ghost fleet's first appearance in the universe hundreds of millions of years ago, as well as the image of Chen Fan kneading the information flow like dough.

And then……

He sighed heavily, and as his huge consciousness body began to shrink again, he cautiously approached the half of his consciousness body hanging on the cosmic membrane. He endured the pain in his heart and gritted his teeth to squeeze out the little remaining vacuum zero-point energy.

no way.

He can’t do it!!!
Be it the Ghost Fleet, or Chen Fan, or even the human alliance outside the microcosm, they are not powerful beings that he can challenge!

Forced by the situation, Kraken could only make a bitter face and work harder to squeeze out the vacuum zero-point energy on which he depended for survival.

[Your Excellency the Envoy, this is my last reserve...]

Kraken muttered: [When this war is over, you must find me a more comfortable star field. My requirements are not high. Just 50,000 light years... no, 100,000... 200,000 light years will be enough. By the way, it would be better if there are more stars in the star field. I like a brighter environment...]

……

Chen Fan, who was "stuck" in the cosmic membrane, naturally had no idea what was happening inside the microcosm.

At this moment.

His attention was entirely focused on the huge cosmic membrane before him.

hum! ! !
Strong space-time fluctuations were heard from afar, and the Genesis Fortress running "above" the microcosmic membrane was also moving away in this fluctuation.

This should be a very normal thing - after applying the film in one area, it is natural to move on to the next area.

The operators of Genesis Fortress obviously thought so too.

Therefore, after completing the work in the designated area, it hurriedly flew towards a more distant star region, and eventually became a tiny black dot in the isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles.

Only Chen Fan, relying on his unique position of being "stuck" inside the cosmic membrane and in negative distance contact with the cosmic membrane, was able to keenly notice something unusual:
As the Genesis Fortress moved away, the fluctuations of the cosmic membrane gradually subsided, and even the sudden feeling of rejection that had come before began to slowly fade away.

This means that after the departure of Genesis Fortress, the strength of the cosmic membrane is gradually declining!!
Although Chen Fan was not clear about the specific process and related information of weaving the cosmic membrane, his intuition told him that this was definitely not a normal phenomenon! !
The reason is simple - if the strength of the cosmic membrane decreases after the Genesis Fortress leaves, what is the purpose of the membrane?

only……

Why does the strength of the cosmic membrane decay?

Could it be that the cosmic membrane created by the Genesis Fortress has melted?

Thinking of this, although the interference of the cosmic membrane gradually subsided, Chen Fan's expression became extremely solemn.

The above is not the point!

The more crucial point, and what Chen Fan is most worried about, is the polluted information flow that lingers on the surface of the cosmic membrane, resembling ripples on the water!
At the end of his sight, as the strength of the cosmic membrane weakened, endless streams of polluted information began to slowly emerge from the area through which the Genesis Fortress passed!

They cling tightly to the flat cosmic membrane, penetrating into the small universe inside while rapidly spreading out in all directions!
It was like a drop of ink falling onto the surface of a water ball, quickly staining the surroundings black.

"Polluted information..."

Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, combined with the previous speculation about the melting of the cosmic membrane, Chen Fan suddenly widened his eyes, and a horrifying guess emerged in his mind:

"Could it be the product of the melting of the cosmic membrane?!"

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's expression suddenly wavered: "What about the polluted information contained in the high-dimensional broadcast? "

Before he could figure out the twists and turns, a strong sense of emptiness swept over from his consciousness, pulling Chen Fan's thoughts back to reality.

"not good!"

Chen Fan's face changed slightly.

He didn't know since when, but the vacuum zero-point energy that had been kept full in his consciousness had been reduced by more than half - his consciousness was like a swimming pool with water being released and replenished at the same time. With the help of the Kraken, although the energy consumption rate was extremely high, it was able to maintain a balanced state of inflow and outflow. But now, the vacuum zero-point energy from the Kraken had become a trickle, and the previous state of balance was completely broken.

Feeling a slight dizziness coming from his mind, Chen Fan belatedly realized the problem.

broken.

The external battery seems to be running out of juice.

We must hurry up and get in touch with the research ship! !

Chen Fan did not hesitate at all. He raised his head and looked at the five-dimensional isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles. At the same time, he struggled to mobilize the few remaining information flow fragments in the small universe, and once again outlined a miniature circular acceleration loop on the surface of the cosmic membrane.

Swish! ! !
After a short wait, amidst an increasingly severe feeling of dizziness and emptiness, a long and thin jet of information shot up into the sky from the flat and smooth surface of the cosmic membrane, heading straight for the five-dimensional isolation zone directly above.

The polluted information that originally lingered on the surface of the cosmic membrane, resembling water ripples, was also disturbed by the impact of this information jet, forming concentric ripples that spread out in all directions.

"Damn..." The "disconnection" of the external battery directly put Chen Fan into an extremely embarrassing situation - let alone resisting the self-repair effect of the cosmic membrane, the information jet alone is a real energy consumer!

Don’t forget, when the Lighthouse Project was being implemented, it was Wang Jing’s scientific research vessel that provided him with energy!

“Academician Wang…” Chen Fan looked dizzily at the darkening five-dimensional space in front of him, trying his best to maintain the information jet that could be interrupted at any time, and muttered to himself in a nearly whispering voice: “Damn you… If you don’t find out again, I’ll…”

Before he could finish his words, a strong wave of space-time swept over.

Immediately afterwards, a silver-white shuttle-shaped starship appeared in the five-dimensional space that could be described as a desert of life.

"Finally I'm here..."

When the research ship appeared, Chen Fan grinned: "It seems that my luck is pretty good."

He struggled to squeeze out the little vacuum zero-point energy that remained in his body, controlled the acceleration circuit in front of him, and let the slender and tenacious jet of information shoot towards the silver-white starship.

Looking at the information jet hitting the research ship directly, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

It became.

The distress signal has been sent!
Almost at the same time, he took the initiative to give up resisting the repulsive force of the cosmic membrane.

Along with a powerful repulsive force emerging from the cosmic membrane around him, a weak pulling force also came from the small universe inside the cosmic membrane. Under the combined effect of the two forces, Chen Fan suddenly felt his body falling into the small universe!
Without the interference of Chen Fan, the external object, the thin cosmic membrane finally began to repair itself.

Through the rapidly shrinking hole, Chen Fan's somewhat drowsy gaze passed over the silver-white starship hovering outside the small universe, and then passed over the endless anti-universe bubble that looked like a towering city wall, and fell into the five-dimensional space in the distance.

It was not until now, after everything had settled, that Chen Fan belatedly realized a problem.

——The consciousness collapse that Kraken mentioned before...why didn’t it happen to him?
He looked at the bizarre five-dimensional space with a blank look. Perhaps because of the excessive consumption of vacuum zero-point energy, his originally clear consciousness began to fade.

When his consciousness was about to fall into darkness and the hole in the cosmic membrane was about to recover, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

Is it fear or longing?

Is it anxiety or excitement?

Chen Fan was somewhat confused about the inexplicable emotions that spontaneously arose from this consciousness.

On the one hand, it was because his consciousness was almost scattered, like a person who had just woken up, and his ability to distinguish things was rapidly declining. On the other hand...

As Chen Fan's consciousness faded, the high-dimensional resonance that had disappeared for a long time once again sounded in his mind.

The sound was noisy and confusing. Not to mention understanding the meaning, Chen Fan, who was in a daze, couldn't even distinguish the different voices.

These obscure tones merged together to form a deafening rumble.

Chen Fan frowned, and an expression of impatience uncontrollably revealed on his face.

Wow.

The hole in the microcosmic membrane was completely closed, and the bizarre five-dimensional space completely disappeared from Chen Fan's sight.

The rumbling sound coming from the higher-dimensional resonance was also stopped by pressing the stop button.

Beside him, the familiar starry sky appeared again, as well as... a pale red ball of light that had shrunk to a few hundred meters.

"…Kraken?"

Chen Fan sent a message to the light ball with some fear.

After getting a barely perceptible response, he let out a long sigh and slowly closed his eyes.

……

the other side.

Outside the microcosmic bubble.

The research vessel hovered silently in the five-dimensional isolation zone between the two cosmic bubbles, with its bow pointing far away at the small cosmic bubble below.

Inside the research vessel.

Bright red warning messages flashed on the holographic interface above the main console.

"warn!"

The electronic synthesized voice of the shipboard master brain echoed in the spacious cockpit: "High-intensity information fluctuations detected!"

"Attention! This ship has been hit head-on by the information jet!!"

"Warning!! There are some logical errors in the starship control unit and it is trying to repair itself..."

As the owner of a scientific research vessel, Wang Jing did not react at all to the many warning prompts in front of him.

She closed her beautiful eyes and sat silently in the driver's seat, with a hint of pain on her slightly cold face.

She had indeed heard the reminder from the ship's mainframe, but she was unable to respond at that moment.

Just now, when she was in panic and anxiety about the failure of the rules, a jet of information much stronger than any previous one suddenly appeared on the surface of the microcosmic membrane.

The fifty-second information stream.

The appearance of this stream of information made her feel a little relieved.

Although the rules have been broken, but... Chen Fan shouldn't have any big problems.

It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

But soon.

Just as she was about to record the many parameters of this information jet as usual, she suddenly realized a problem - unlike the previous information jets that appeared and disappeared quickly, the fifty-second information stream was not only extremely strong, but also lasted much longer than before!
Ten seconds, twenty seconds...

Just as Wang Jing was stunned, this tenacious flow of information was like a beacon in the vast five-dimensional space, standing upright on the surface of the microcosmic membrane, and it lasted for more than thirty seconds!
Faced with this abnormal situation, Wang Jing didn't even have time to think about it, and directly controlled the research ship to rush towards the location of the information flow!

When the research ship arrived, the information jet still did not disappear.

At first, Wang Jing was extremely excited when she saw this scene - the information jet did not disappear, which meant that she could collect the information transmitted by Chen Fan from it.

but……

Before she could be happy for long, amid a series of warnings from the ship's main brain, this stream of information "hit" her research ship without any pause!
Although today's scientific research ships have undergone a certain degree of modification, they do not have complete information shield technology.

Therefore, the jet of information passed through the starship's hull unhindered and hit her directly.

It was at that moment that Wang Jing's mind was instantly flooded with a huge amount of information! !

Although her eyes were closed, she could still clearly "see" the situation inside the microcosm.

only……

The angle of view from which she saw the picture was somewhat strange——

Kraken suffered from information pollution; the investigator starship almost crashed; it used information jets to contact the outside world, but was blocked by the cosmic membrane; the cosmic membrane was successfully punctured, and polluted information flow appeared on the surface of the cosmic membrane, creating information jets again to attract the attention of the scientific research ship...

Seeing the silver-white research ship appearing in the five-dimensional space, Wang Jing finally understood.

This is from Chen Fan's perspective.

With the help of the information jet, Chen Fan transmitted to her all the situations he had just experienced!

"hiss……"

Wang Jing slowly opened her eyes, feeling the dizziness and slight pain in her mind. She subconsciously took a breath of cold air: "Chen Fan, this kid... is too reckless."

Such a huge amount of information, all from a high-dimensional perspective, flooded into her brain in just a few seconds...

If she had not received the highest level of genetic modification and enhancement technology from the Human Union, she would have been turned into a fool by this huge flow of information.

Of course, roasted brain is also possible.

"By the way, this thing..."

Wang Jing's expression slightly changed, and she murmured in a low voice: "It's exactly the same as the high-dimensional resonance..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it across the holographic interface in front of her that was filled with blood-red pop-up windows.

Wow!
The warning pop-up windows disappeared completely, and the piercing alarm sound also stopped abruptly.

"Mastermind, notify Genesis Fortress immediately."

"Tell the operator to suspend the cosmic membrane weaving work!"

Wang Jing snorted coldly:
"Tell those operators to take a good look at the surface of the microcosmic membrane!"

"I don't even know how such a huge mistake happened, and I don't know how I got the Genesis operator's license!"
