Chapter 537 Hidden Crisis

"What is the current status of the cosmic bubble?"

Wang Jing calmed himself down and asked the officer on the communication interface.

"Not ideal."

Hearing Wang Jing's question, Captain Han's expression became serious again: "Although I don't know what happened in the cosmic bubble, from observations from the outside, this cosmic bubble seems to have been greatly impacted."

"At present, it has officially entered the collapse stage."

"Officially collapsed..." Wang Jing's face darkened.

Captain Han raised his hand and operated the holographic interface beside him: "I just received the inspection report from Genesis Fortress. You can take a quick look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a brand new holographic interface filled with a large amount of complex data quietly appeared in front of Wang Jing.

"..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked carefully at the data on the holographic interface.

moment.

Wang Jing retracted her gaze and sighed silently: "What are you going to do next?"

"According to the order of the Academy of Sciences, the joint fleet will escort you and Chen Fan safely back to the Human Union Main Universe at all costs!"

Seeing the extremely serious expression on Captain Han's face, Wang Jing subconsciously glanced at the holographic interface beside her - on it, the black light produced by the naked singularity was still slowly spreading around, but without a "new singularity source" like the Human Fleet, the spread of the black light was obviously much slower.

This black light...what on earth is that?
Why does it have such a huge impact on the cosmic bubble?
More importantly, what is the connection between it and time technology?
Countless confusions emerged in Wang Jing's mind.

The desire to explore the unknown is an indispensable quality for a top scientist, and Wang Jing is no exception, especially since this thing involves many technologies that have not yet been mastered by others.

She looked back at Captain Han and moved her lips slightly.

Perhaps he had sensed something from Wang Jing's eyes. Before Wang Jing could speak, Captain Han smiled bitterly: "Academician Wang, the Academy of Sciences has told you to leave the anti-universe bubble as soon as possible for safety reasons."

"after all……"

Wang Jing pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she nodded helplessly: "I understand, I will start the starship upgrade now..."

"wait wait wait!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Fan, who had been acting as a background board, finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He jumped up from the main driver's seat and said, "If I heard correctly, you...are going to give up this universe bubble?"

Captain Han frowned subconsciously when he heard someone else's voice. But when he saw that the person who spoke was Chen Fan, his frown relaxed a little and his tone softened a bit: "Yes, the Academy of Sciences has issued an order..."

Chen Fan stared blankly at Captain Han on the communication interface.

Although Captain Han's attitude was very gentle, at this moment, he could no longer listen to the other party's subsequent explanations - the moment he received a positive answer, he once again felt an extremely strong sense of panic in his heart.

just like……

He was about to lose something that was extremely important to him.

In fact, a similar feeling occurred once a long time ago.

When he first learned that the anti-universe bubble was about to collapse, he felt this inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"...What about the information flow generated by the collapse of the cosmic bubble?" Chen Fan suddenly came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Captain Han, you should know that once the cosmic bubble collapses, the polluted information flow it generates will have a devastating impact on the human-connected universe!"

"If we can stop the cosmic bubble from collapsing..."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Captain Han interrupted Chen Fan. "The five Genesis Fortresses brought by the joint fleet have completed the initial transformation of material informatization. They can simply build information barriers. The Academy of Sciences is preparing to use this to divert and block the pollution information flow for the first time."

"At the same time, the Academy of Sciences is allocating more Genesis Fortresses to the vicinity of the node universe to minimize the impact on the territory of the Human Union."

Chen Fan was speechless.

Unexpectedly, the Academy of Sciences has done so much response work in such a short period of time.

"Can……"

"If we retreat now, won't all our previous work be wasted?"

"Time technology, naked singularities, and the advanced civilization behind the Apophis scorpions..."

Chen Fan could only look at Wang Jing for help. Perhaps because of the growing panic in his heart, his words seemed a little incoherent: "Oh, and broadcast civilization!"

"Since the collapse of the cosmic bubble has stopped, why can't we investigate it first and then..."

Wang Jing sighed softly and shook her head slowly: "Chen Fan, it's not that simple."

"I just read the observation report from Genesis Fortress. The cosmic bubble has entered the stage of formal collapse."

"At present, the Genesis Fortress can only try to slow down its collapse by temporarily creating some rule-space chimera patches."

"Even though the situation is stable now, no one knows when this thing will collapse again."

"Remember what I said earlier?"

"This cosmic bubble is extremely similar to the node universe, but its toughness and stability are not as good as the node universe. Therefore, the Genesis Fortress cannot reverse its collapse process at all."

Hearing this, Chen Fan fell into complete silence.

As the fear in his heart grew, a few streaks of scarlet blood gradually appeared in his eyes.

"No, no, no..."

Under the gaze of Wang Jing and Captain Han, he staggered back half a step, and then stared straight at the camera with bloodshot eyes: "In short, we can't give up!"

"No matter what, I will never give up this universe!!"

Seeing this, Captain Han frowned again.

"Academician Wang, this..." He looked at Chen Fan, who seemed to have his reverse scale touched, and chose to pass the ball to Wang Jing.

You deal with your subordinates.

Unlike Captain Han, seeing Chen Fan's obviously out-of-control emotions, Wang Jing suddenly recalled the strange feeling Chen Fan had once described to her about the anti-universe bubble.

Could it be that……

Wang Jing's expression changed slightly: "Captain Han, this matter may be a bit complicated. The fleet... please wait a little longer."

"I will come forward to explain to the Academy of Sciences."

Captain Han slowly asked a question: "?"

No, sister?

Is this how you solve my problem?

He wanted to say something but stopped himself, but seeing Wang Jing's extremely determined expression, he could only sigh heavily - there was nothing he could do, after all, he was a Class I academician.

"I will notify Genesis Fortress and try to buy you some time."

"But... don't get your hopes up."

……

"Are you feeling the same way as last time again?"

After cutting off the communication with Captain Han, Wang Jing stared at Chen Fan who was being helped back to the driver's seat by Hongshi and Isa, and a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes that was imperceptible to others.

All the mysteries are like a ball of wool, completely tangled together.

Coupled with the crises that broke out one after another.

The pressure Wang Jing faces at this moment is definitely no less than that of Chen Fan!
"……Yes."

After being comforted by Hongshi and Isa, Chen Fan regained his composure and took a deep breath: "But not completely."

"What do you mean?" "Similar to the symptoms last time, I do have a sense of panic that I have lost something important." Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, "But it's not just that."

"I always feel..."

"We may have overlooked something."

Chen Fan frowned and murmured in a low voice: "And... it is a very important thing."

"Chen Fan, I also know the importance of this universe bubble, but you have to be clear about one thing." Wang Jing's eyes were filled with worry. "We are now exactly 'below' the node universe. If we drag on like this, if the anti-universe bubble suddenly collapses, the Genesis Fortress will not have time to build an information barrier. The node universe will undoubtedly face an extremely terrifying information flow impact. At that time..."

"...Node Universe?"

Chen Fan's expression changed slightly, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

Seeing that Chen Fan's attitude had softened, Wang Jing hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, even if we continue the investigation, we must at least ensure the safety of the node universe, right?"

"Node universe... Node universe..."

Chen Fan's tone suddenly became excited: "I think I know where the problem lies!"

Wang Jing: “?”

It seems that this kid Chen Fan didn’t hear a word of what she said just now!
"Academician Wang!"

Chen Fan ignored Wang Jing's murderous look and said, "This universe bubble is very similar to the node universe, isn't that right?"

Wang Jing nodded silently: "Of course, the structures of the positive and negative universes are very similar."

"And there is a macro channel between the anti-universe and the node universe, right?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Wang Jing frowned. "What on earth do you want to say?"

"I mean……"

Chen Fan's face turned pale, and he swallowed hard: "Academician Wang, do you think... the cosmic membrane of the node universe also contains the same polluted information flow?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire communication link fell into silence.

Inside the research vessel, Wang Jing froze in her seat.

"and……"

Chen Fan's voice was like the whisper of a demon from hell. It lingered in Wang Jing's ears and brought her a chill. "Under the influence of the macro channel, if the anti-universe suddenly collapses, do you think the node universe will also collapse?"

"hiss!!"

Wang Jing took a deep breath.

At this moment, Wang Jing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Fuck..." She shuddered slightly and murmured in a low voice: "This time, something really bad has happened..."

……

Node universe, star gate.

Brilliant light came from the huge star gate right in front of the control tower. Every flash meant that a starship had passed through this young star gate that had just begun formal operation.

Mochi sat in the exclusive chair in the tower, put his furry little legs on the round control console, and squinted his eyes to look at the azure holographic interface floating in front of him.

A series of complex numbers kept popping up on it, and then disappeared in the flashes outside the porthole.

"pity……"

"The only ships that come and go in this damn place are engineering ships."

Mochi curled his lips in boredom as he looked at the starships of similar style that shuttled out of the star gate, then quickly upgraded their dimensions and finally disappeared in the star gate universe.

"Those engineers are so boring. The souvenir shop that I spent a lot of effort to approve has no business."

"I don't know when the node universe will be developed into a tourist attraction..." Mochi shook his short legs comfortably and complained to himself, "It's still easier to make money from those low-level civilizations."

"Oh right! I have to find some time to start the high-dimensional space sightseeing project. This thing will definitely be attractive to those low-level civilizations!"

Perhaps thinking about the days of making money without doing anything, the black and white hairs on the mochi's body slowly expanded, and a smile of anticipation appeared on his face.

"Drip-drip-"

A crisp reminder sound suddenly rang out, interrupting Mochi's daydream.

"Who..."

He muttered in a tinny voice, then raised his claws and swiped them across the holographic interface twice.

“…Academician Wang Jing?!”

He exclaimed and jumped up from his seat, while frantically tidying up the table with a pile of snacks on it: "Oh my god, why did Academician Wang suddenly..."

Before the words were finished, Wang Jing's face appeared on the communication interface.

"… Academician Wang, greetings to you."

Moshu quickly dusted off the snack residue scattered on his body and greeted him respectfully: "You...what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Moshu, activate the star gate at full power and clear out all unnecessary personnel!"

"...Okay, I'll do it right away!" After a brief moment of daze, Mochi's originally relaxed expression quickly became solemn.

Although he didn't know what happened, he had some guesses based on his past experience of controlling the Star Gate.

A big guy is coming!
He skillfully pressed buttons on the main console, methodically suspending transportation work on each route and issuing an emergency clearing order to the entire Stargate Universe.

As the tachyon order spread rapidly, one engineering ship after another began to upgrade their dimensions and left the Stargate Universe in unison.

"Also, notify all engineering ships around the node universe." Wang Jing's voice continued, "Suspend all operations and immediately stay away from the node universe!"

"After this jump is completed, the star gate will be temporarily closed, and all information exchange between the star gate universe and the outside world will be cut off in one direction."

Mochi's face changed, and the claws operating the star gate began to tremble slightly.

Node Universe, what on earth happened?

Why did Wang Jing suddenly issue this kind of order that is only issued during wartime?
Could it be that……

Mochi didn't dare to think too much and quickened his movements again.

"Ding!"

A prompt sounded, and a highest priority stargate shuttle request suddenly appeared in front of him.

Mochi pressed the agree button without any hesitation.

hum...

The azure zero-point energy gushed out from the zero-point energy reactor array below the star gate, flowing along the thick energy pathway towards the star gate which was in normal working condition!

The moment the energy poured in, the space-time fluctuations around the star gate suddenly increased dozens of times.

Rumble…

In the increasingly dazzling light, a huge monster slowly emerged from the depths of the star gate.

"This is……"

Looking at the angular giant building gradually appearing in the starry sky, Mochi subconsciously held his breath.

"Genesis Fortress?"

"And it's a sub-flagship fortress with a scale of fifty light years?!!"
