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

Chapter 520 Dried-up Fishpond

"Success!"

In the communication channel, Wang Jing's voice was full of surprise: "Teacher is not lying to me. As long as the power is strong enough, any problem can be solved..."

Inside the investigator starship, Chen Fan's eyes twitched involuntarily as he listened to Wang Jing's words.

Aren’t you a biology student?
Since when did biology start saying that great strength can produce miracles? !
Also, the mentor Wang Jing mentioned...

To be able to say such things, he doesn't sound like a serious person!
Chen Fan’s inner complaints didn’t last long.

To be precise, at the moment when the black hole photolysis officially began, his attention was attracted by the shocking scene outside the porthole.

The central black hole, which has transformed into a "quasar", violently releases all the matter it has swallowed in the past to the surroundings. These substances, which had been crushed into basic particles by the powerful gravity before being swallowed, have become a chaotic quark soup at this moment. The moment they are ejected from both ends of the black hole, these quark jets produce extremely bright light under high-speed friction, which is enough to light up the entire universe bubble!
Looking at the two jets outside the porthole that were extremely dazzling in any wavelength, Chen Fan subconsciously thought of the black hole battery he had seen in the Human Union Main Universe: "So, the principle of the black hole battery..."

"Yes."

Wang Jing looked at the observation data in the holographic interface with full concentration, and responded to Chen Fan's question casually: "The black hole battery is indeed manufactured based on this principle, but the process of releasing energy is not so intense."

Chen Fan wanted to say something, but Wang Jing suddenly frowned: "Hiss..."

Hearing the sound of people sucking in cold air, Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously asked, "Another problem?"

"..."

Wang Jing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty: "It is indeed a bit problematic."

"Photolysis has clearly occurred, but the black hole is still static, which is theoretically impossible."

"Moreover, the power of this photolysis..."

Wang Jing raised her hand and quickly tapped on the holographic interface in front of her: "It is 90% smaller than the theoretical value."

Chen Fan was stunned. He turned his head again to look at the violent eruption of the black hole outside the porthole and swallowed hard: "You mean... this thing is only exerting 10% of its theoretical power?!"

"Yes." Wang Jing's expression became serious. "Based on the current output power of Genesis Fortress, this black hole should disintegrate on a small scale in a very short time, but..."

Wang Jing shook her head, her face full of confusion and puzzlement: "What kind of technology can stop the black hole from spinning and suppress the explosion of the black hole at the rule level..."

"Chen Fan!"

Isa's exclamation suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between Chen Fan and Wang Jing: "Look inside the black hole, those gray shadows..."

Chen Fan's heart tightened and he hurriedly looked in the direction of Isa's finger.

As photolysis continues, the central black hole continuously spits out the matter it had previously swallowed, and its mass and size begin to shrink rapidly.

Coupled with the dual impact of the increase in the speed of light constant, the event horizon of the central black hole shrank by nearly half in just a few minutes!
Against the backdrop of the dazzling light around it, the event horizon, which has shrunk by half, appears even deeper and darker.

But the focus is not on the event horizon, but on the thousands of gray shades inside the event horizon!

It's like a fish pond that is gradually drying up.

As the water became less, the fish in the pond gradually floated to the surface.

Those gray shadows are like that.

As the scope of the event horizon gradually narrowed, the gray shadow was like a fish in a dried-up pond, inevitably emerging from the water - that is, leaving the scope of the event horizon!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, a medium-sized "gray fish" was forced to leave the event horizon.

When leaving the extremely dark space, the "Gray Fish" exposed to the starry sky struggled violently, as if it had been attacked by some powerful force, and its body structure began to spontaneously collapse.

Coupled with the violent particle flow outside the event horizon around the black hole, in just a few seconds, the exposed half of the "gray fish" was silently turned into ashes, and eventually became the fuel for the two high-intensity particle jets.

As for the small half of the body inside the event horizon...naturally, it quickly became motionless.

It's dead.

This is not an isolated case; in fact, similar scenes continue to appear in the edge areas of black holes over time.

For those giant scorpions or "gray fish", the world outside the black hole's event horizon is as deadly as some kind of poison!
Looking at the scene in the black hole, Chen Fan was shocked and murmured in a low voice: "How could this happen..."

Like Chen Fan, Wang Jing, who was in the research ship, also frowned.

She shook her head slowly: "I don't know either. I have never encountered a similar situation..."

"But anyway, this situation is good for us now."

Chen Fan nodded silently.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of attacking the black hole is actually to attack the giant scorpion in advance. Although the current situation is a bit weird, it perfectly achieves the goal of the peacekeeping fleet.

That being said, though…

For some reason, Chen Fan felt increasingly uneasy.

He looked at the giant scorpions that turned into ashes, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Academician Wang, do you think... is it possible that the giant scorpions' bodies cannot adapt to this universe?"

Wang Jing raised her eyebrows, temporarily put aside the rapidly changing data in front of her, and turned to look at Chen Fan: "Can't adapt?"

"Are you referring to the adaptation problem of the universe's rules, or the annihilation of matter and antimatter?"

Chen Fan was stunned.

He just said it casually, who knew Wang Jing could make so many things out of it!

"Uh..." Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it the annihilation effect between matter and antimatter?"

"The probability is very low."

Wang Jing gave a decisive answer: "First, let's talk about the low-level scorpions that grew in the anti-universe. Their bodies are made of antimatter. Then, let's talk about the five giant scorpions that were dealt with by the peacekeeping fleet. Although their bodies are not made of antimatter, we have not found any signs of annihilation between positive and negative matter in them."

"Just like the warships of the Human Alliance, a civilization of this level must have mastered the basic technology to avoid the annihilation of matter and antimatter."

"Then..." Chen Fan glanced at the extremely intense black hole photolysis scene outside the porthole and scratched his head, "That is the law of the universe..."

“The likelihood of rules is even smaller.”

Wang Jing interrupted Chen Fan. She did not hide anything and said directly: "Putting organisms directly into different universes to test the impact of cosmic rules on life forms... To be honest, the Biology Department has done a lot of such experiments, and I have also conducted similar research."

"But unfortunately, so far, almost no organisms have such a dramatic reaction to it."

"How...how could this happen..."

Chen Fan couldn't quite believe the answer.

Wang Jing shrugged: "It's a very counterintuitive experimental result, right?"

“But you can work it out by working backwards.”

"If the differences in the rules between each universe bubble are so great, then the Pan-Universe Alliance may not be successfully established until the Human Alliance dies."

"Think about the scenes you saw in the main universe."

"A main star gate has to receive and transmit highly intelligent creatures from hundreds of thousands or even millions of different universes every day. If the influence of cosmic rules is as great as you think, then this thing should not be called a star gate, but a fully automatic meat grinder."

What a joke...

Chen Fan pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an awkward but polite smile. "Indeed."

"The rules of each bubble do vary slightly, but those changes are mainly concentrated in some insignificant rules. The key rules that involve the fundamentals of the universe are actually exactly the same."

“Moreover, those rule changes are usually very small and have very limited impact.”

"For example, the gravitational constant of some cosmic bubbles will change to a certain extent, probably by one ten-thousandth to one thousandth, which is harmless."

"But basic rules such as the speed of light constant, natural constants, and pi are universal, not to mention different universes. Even within the natural order field around the hyperspace membrane, these laws are universal."

Perhaps because he felt that his words were too absolute, Wang Jing thought for a moment and added: "At least it is like this in the pan-universe."

Chen Fan nodded silently: "Then these giant scorpions..."

"Don't look at me. I don't know either."

Wang Jing looked at the "gray fish" that were constantly disintegrating at the edge of the black hole, and murmured with some pain: "What a good experimental sample..."

"It's gone, just like that..."

"..."

Listening to Wang Jing's mumbling, Chen Fan's eyes twitched, and he reluctantly turned his attention back to the shrunk central black hole.

"what?"

Chen Fan let out a light exclamation and widened his eyes slightly.

While he was talking to Wang Jing, the "gray fish" in the central black hole seemed to have some new changes -

After the "gray fish" that was forced to leave the event horizon died, the "gray fish" flapping around it moved away from its body at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been contaminated with something unclean.

but……

The scope of the event horizon is continuously shrinking, and the activity space of the "gray fish" is naturally also rapidly decreasing. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not easy to avoid those corpses.

soon.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the half-remaining corpse touched a nearby "gray fish". The moment the two came into contact, the intact "gray fish" began to struggle violently. At the same time, the clear outline around its body gradually became blurred - just like its dead companion, its body also showed signs of disintegration!
"Oh my god..."

Looking at this scene, Chen Fan couldn't help but exclaimed: "This thing is also contagious..."

If this trend continues, as long as the Genesis Fortress continues to output, even if these giant scorpions do not leave the event horizon, they will sooner or later be killed by the corpses of their own kind.

Maybe, before the support from the Human Alliance arrives, this crisis will be over...

Thinking of this, Chen Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.

But in the next second, something strange happened!

The gray fish struggled frantically within the event horizon, but stabilized again after holding on for a few seconds.

Although its outline became a little loose, and even its overall shape changed significantly, it successfully survived this crisis!

"Fuck..."

At this moment, Chen Fan only felt his right eyelid twitching, and the uneasiness that had been spreading in his heart emerged again: "No way..."

Surrounded by its own kind, the "gray fish" swam cautiously towards the edge of the event horizon.

Soon, it poked a small part of its body out of the event horizon.

laugh! ! !
With a violent tremor, its body, which had just regained stability, began to melt again, but... compared to before, the melting speed this time was obviously much slower.

Although this "gray fish" still could not escape the fate of death, both Chen Fan and Wang Jing on the research vessel looked extremely solemn at this time.

"It's adapting to this universe!"

Chen Fan spoke first: "Whether it's rules or something else, these giant scorpions are adapting to this universe!!"

As he spoke, the previously stable event horizon completely exploded - the surrounding fellow fish had obviously discovered the peculiarity of the second gray fish, and they no longer avoided the corpse of their own kind, but instead took the initiative to move forward without hesitation, and even...

devour!!
Wow!
At this moment, the extremely dark event horizon was like a fish pond that had exploded, with countless gray shadows tumbling and thrashing in it...

In the violent struggle, some gray shadows died quietly, while others survived by chance.

Immediately afterwards, these surviving gray shadows once again struggled to pounce outside the event horizon, and their bodies were once again eaten by their own kind after death!
This cycle repeats itself, and the number of gray shadows within the event horizon becomes smaller and smaller. At the same time, the outline of the gray shadow surface gradually becomes blurred, and the overall appearance also changes considerably!
Chen Fan's face turned pale. Although he couldn't understand the rapidly changing data in the holographic interface, he could sense the seriousness of the problem just by intuition.

Something terrible has happened!

“Academician Wang!!”

He shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

“Damn it…” Wang Jing suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the scene outside the porthole with an unpleasant expression. At the same time, she hurriedly pressed a few buttons on the holographic control panel in front of her, “Master Brain! Notify Genesis Fortress to continue to increase the power!”

"Get this black hole as soon as possible..."

The voice of the shipboard mainframe sounded quietly, interrupting Wang Jing's words: "Academician Wang, the output power of Genesis Fortress has reached its design peak."

“It is no longer possible to improve further.”

"..."

The communication channel fell into complete silence.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly.

Outside the porthole, as the size of the event horizon gradually shrank, the number of gray shadows still moving inside also decreased rapidly.

Four thousand, two thousand, one thousand, five hundred...

When the number dropped to two hundred, in a violent space-time fluctuation, the first gray shadow successfully passed through the intangible event horizon and entered the anti-universe filled with high-energy particle jets.

The fish pond is dry.

The fish also came ashore.

Under the gaze of everyone, the gray shadow quickly solidified and eventually formed a giant scorpion covered in tattered dark purple "armor" and with an extremely ferocious appearance.

This giant scorpion is extremely large. According to the calculations of the ship's main computer, its length is even close to one million kilometers.

This is an extremely terrifying number - even a gas giant like Jupiter is just a slightly larger basketball in front of it.

This is not over yet.

With the first one, there will be the second, the third...

In just a few seconds, hundreds of gray shadows squeezed out of the event horizon and stood silently in front of tens of thousands of main battleships!

Behind these hundreds of giant scorpions, each larger than the other, the high-energy particle jets ejected from the central black hole showed no sign of stopping and became their backdrop.

Roar! !

A giant scorpion, with a size as big as a blue giant and a broken body, suddenly opened its four eyes that were flashing red, stared at the Human United Peacekeeping Fleet not far away, and at the same time opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a silent roar.

An extremely strong tachyon wave swept past and spread towards the peacekeeping fleet! !
