Chapter 549 The Truth of Black Light

Anti-universe, inside the Black Star Region.

The rapidly changing rules, time and space, dimensions and information flows constitute a truly chaotic space.

Not to mention the trillions of stars and planets in the anti-universe, even basic particles find it difficult to preserve themselves in such an environment - the slightest change in the basic rules may cause these microscopic particles to undergo unimaginable changes!

Occasionally, some basic particles that have managed to "survive" under the change of rules will even suddenly encounter some low-dimensional spaces. In the process of dimensionality reduction, they will instantly burst out one or two beams of dazzling light. This is the only bit of light in the Black Star Region.

But even so, under the influence of extremely distorted space-time and information flow, these photons are like stuck in a quagmire, and it is almost impossible for them to be transmitted around smoothly as before.

Because of this, no matter where you are, unless you are extremely lucky and happen to "bump into" some scattered photons, otherwise this starry sky swallowed by black light will have only one basic tone from beginning to end.

suddenly!

In such a chaotic star field, a ray of golden light burst out from the deep black light.

The golden light gradually became thicker, and its overall shape was completely revealed.

It was an oval-shaped golden barrier. Outside the barrier was a chaotic, indescribable endless black light. Inside the barrier was a huge, slightly dilapidated fleet.

Whether it was the chaotic fluctuations of time and space or the rapidly changing information flows, when passing through this golden information barrier, they all returned to the rare tranquility.

Of course, all this must come at a price.

The fleet was not sailing very fast, and even seemed a little slow. There is no doubt that it was not an easy task for it to sail in such an environment.

The ripples that occasionally appeared on the surface of the golden barrier further confirmed this point.

In the center of the fleet, a huge bi-pyramid fortress quietly maintained the existence of the artificial order field. Dense information flows spread out from the side of the bi-pyramid fortress like flying catkins, and finally filled every corner of the golden barrier.

【Your Excellency Chen Fan.】

[I found a spatial anomaly 17.6 light years ahead. ]

[The space-time fluctuations reached their peak in that area, somewhat similar to...]

Kraken hesitated for a long time before continuing: [Black hole.]

"Black hole?"

Chen Fan's mind moved, and he quickly controlled a flow of information to explore the direction indicated by Kraken.

Soon, he followed the guidance of the Kraken and found the so-called anomaly in the starry sky filled with dark light.

With just a casual glance, Chen Fan understood why Kraken compared it to a black hole - as Kraken said, the fluctuations of space and time reached their extreme at that location.

However, unlike the orderly vortex-shaped space-time fluctuations around a black hole, the space-time fluctuations near the spatial anomaly are extremely strong, but there is no pattern behind them.

Strong or weak, spiral or horizontal...

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the gravitational waves in the starry sky were like randomly twisting maggots, interspersed around the anomaly in a disorderly manner.

In fact, it is not just the fluctuations in time and space, even the information flow diffused throughout the Black Star Region has a tendency to concentrate on this abnormal point!
No, that's not right!

Chen Fan's expression changed and he quickly realized a problem.

It shouldn't be about concentration, but...

freed!

Whether it is the chaotic information flow or the disordered space-time fluctuations, they are not concentrated at this abnormal point, but... appear from this abnormal point and spread to the surrounding star fields.

In other words, this anomaly is the source of the chaos, or rather, it is the source of the chaos in this small star field!
"This is……"

Chen Fan murmured in a low voice: "A secondary naked singularity assimilated by the naked singularity of the central black hole?"

Without hesitation, he quickly sent a message about the anomaly to the Genesis Fortress's onboard mainframe.

Boom! !
Almost at the same time as the information was transmitted, a not-so-loud rumbling sound came from the interior of the Genesis Fortress, the fluctuations of the phase engine began to gradually decrease, and the fleet's sailing direction quickly shifted slightly - following the guidance of Kraken and Chen Fan, the fleet headed straight for the secondary naked singularity without any hesitation!
……

"Academician Wang, the fleet has stopped!"

In the quiet cockpit of the scientific research ship, Red Stone's reminder suddenly came from the communication channel, waking up Wang Jing who had fallen into deep thought at some point.

"……arrive?"

Wang Jing blinked somewhat slowly, and raised her head from the holographic interface in front of her in a trance - since entering the Black Star Region, the atmosphere inside the fleet suddenly became depressing.

This is also normal.

Anyone sailing in such an environment would become taciturn due to extreme mental tension.

Wang Jing subconsciously glanced at the scene outside the porthole, and her eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Where is the secondary naked singularity that Chen Fan mentioned?"

Apart from the faint golden light emitted by the composite shield and the artificial order field, all she could see was deep darkness.

It would be fine if the naked eye did not work, after all, the limitations of the naked eye are too great. Even in routine scientific research, the naked eye is rarely used.

Can……

All detection equipment on board the scientific research ship sent out error signals!
Without the support of various high-precision detection equipment, the scientific research ship, which in a sense symbolizes the pinnacle of human technology, is actually not much different from a most conventional starship - they are all blind anyway, so who is not blind?

From becoming a basic researcher to a top academician of the Academy of Sciences, Wang Jing has never encountered such a powerless situation.

If we can’t even do basic observations, how can we talk about follow-up research?

"It's right in front of the fleet."

Just when Wang Jing was feeling a little discouraged, a familiar voice sounded in her mind: "The simplest way to observe it is to rely on information flow."

"Chen Fan?" Wang Jing was startled and called out subconsciously.

next second.

Before Wang Jing finished her words, a slight feeling of dizziness arose, and a strange scene emerged in the depths of Wang Jing's mind.

In the dark starry sky directly in front of the fleet, a small gray illusory dot was quietly floating.

To be more precise, it is not gray, but no color can describe its existence.

Naked singularity!
Wang Jing recognized the identity of this illusory little dot at a glance - similar to the artificial singularity, the entity of the natural naked singularity is simply a zero-dimensional point.

only……

Apart from the similar appearance, this naturally formed naked singularity is obviously very different from the artificial singularity.

Countless tiny, spider-like threads extended from the inside of this illusory dot and danced around it like maggots, forming a "dancing" ball of threads in the starry sky.

Although what Wang Jing "saw" was the transit picture that had been processed twice by Chen Fan, this did not prevent her from feeling a slight sense of nausea and discomfort in her heart - the degree of chaos of this thing was such that just one look at it would cause considerable mental damage.

SAN value -1
"Hey Chen Fan, how do you endure this thing..." Wang Jing shuddered and asked in a low voice under the puzzled gazes of Hongshi and others.

"Academician Wang, try not to look at the core areas of the information flow."

Chen Fan chuckled, his laughter was a little weak: "That's not the point." "Information flow?" Wang Jing was shocked. With the keen sense of smell of an academician, she directly grasped the key point, "You mean those maggot-like things are information flow? The information flow released by the naked singularity?"

“…Maybe it was released by the naked singularity.”

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, and then continued softly, "We can't be sure about this yet, but I suggest you look somewhere farther away."

Somewhere further away?

Wang Jing was somewhat confused about Chen Fan's words, but she still shifted her attention away from the extremely tangled ball of thread and looked in a farther direction.

"Ok?"

With Chen Fan's reminder, Wang Jing quickly noticed something unusual.

The chaotic information flows around the naked singularity quickly extend to the surrounding areas after leaving the naked singularity. Although they still maintain their original chaotic state, some vague patterns can be vaguely seen - they are like an extremely twisted spider web that encompasses the entire starry sky.

This is not the most important thing!
On the surface of this twisted spider web made of information flow, there are strands of dark light that are either light or dark!!

As the distance from the naked singularity increases, the spider-web-like information filaments become fainter and fainter until they are completely covered by black light.

At this point, the starry sky once again returned to the appearance that Wang Jing had seen before—wisps of black light filled the entire starry sky, and chaotic information flows occasionally escaped, forming dangerous areas where people would kill without blinking an eye.

"So...the black light we see is not released by naked singularities, but generated by those information flows?"

Wang Jing took a deep breath and said, "Is the so-called spread of black light actually a macroscopic manifestation of the spread of chaotic information flows?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her hand and pressed the communication module in the holographic control panel.

Such a significant discovery must be reported to the Academy of Sciences.

But the next second, looking at the bright red warning prompt on the communication module, Wang Jing's white palm stopped in the air - since entering the Black Star Field, the fleet has completely lost contact with the Academy of Sciences. If it weren't for the powerful artificial order field created by the Genesis Fortress, real-time communication within the fleet would probably have become a problem.

Wang Jing bit her lip, a look of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

Too passive!

The Academy of Sciences must develop new communication technologies based on information flow as soon as possible!
"I suppose that's the case."

Chen Fan did not notice Wang Jing's actions. His attention was focused on the information filaments hidden in the black light. "It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we may have to start with these information filaments."

"Just now I tried to contact a few remote information flow filaments. Although I detected a slight information flow fluctuation on them, unfortunately, the fluctuation was too weak and I did not gain any substantial results."

“I suspect it has something to do with the intensity and density of the information flow.”

"So... I have an immature idea."

Wang Jing seemed to have thought of something. She quickly glanced at the uncomfortable naked singularity that exuded a chaotic atmosphere, and her originally calm expression changed completely.

Under the uneasy gazes of Hongshi and Isa, she stood up from the driving seat of the research ship: "Chen Fan, what do you want to do?!"

"I'm telling you, our current understanding of naked singularities and black rays is extremely shallow. If we act rashly, it is very likely that..."

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Chen Fan's voice continued, interrupting Wang Jing's words, "With Kraken as a backup, there won't be any problems in theory."

"not to mention……"

"Academician Wang, judging from the current situation, this seems to be the only way to deeply explore naked singularities."

Hearing this, Wang Jing fell silent.

Chen Fan is right.

The Academy of Sciences' understanding of information flow is quite superficial. After entering the Black Star Region, all of the Human Alliance's previous detection technologies have failed. Even the radar that is indispensable during the fleet's navigation has to be provided by Kraken and Chen Fan.

Seeing that Wang Jing stopped talking, Chen Fan also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then the detection plan is settled."

"Wait a moment. With luck, the fleet may be able to leave this damn star region soon."

The moment the words fell, the image of the naked singularity that had been lingering in Wang Jing's mind quietly dissipated, and the vague feeling of dizziness also improved.

……

[Sir Chen Fan, I am ready. ]

The Kraken, which had previously transformed into a biological radar, has now returned to its previous form as a ball of light.

The ball of light slowly jumped and quickly approached Chen Fan's consciousness, and finally formed a circle of starlight belt around his waist: [As long as you send a signal, I will immediately pull your consciousness back to the fortress. ]

After confirming again and again, Chen Fan nodded to the starlight belt that Kraken had transformed into.

As soon as he thought about it, the rich zero-point energy that diffused around him began to surge, gradually forming a miniature vortex in the energy channel.

Swish!
The moment the azure zero-point vortex dissipated, Chen Fan's consciousness also disappeared within the fortress. Only a small half of the constantly jumping light ball and a light band extending infinitely outward remained.

The process of coordinate transition is very short.

In just a moment of distraction, Chen Fan's consciousness appeared in the starry sky filled with endless black light.

After leaving the protection of the artificial order field and the Genesis Fortress and being directly exposed to the black light, Chen Fan immediately felt a slight sense of suffocation - this chaotic environment was not friendly to his consciousness. The occasional changes in rules and fluctuations in time and space were like knife cuts, which could easily cause considerable damage to his consciousness.

Chen Fan carefully avoided a suddenly appearing two-dimensional starry sky, and endured the increasingly strong sense of confusion, nausea and discomfort in his mind, and moved towards the chaotic information group around the naked singularity.

That was the goal of his investigation this time.

moment.

Looking at the flow of information that was constantly "wriggling" in the starry sky so close at hand, Chen Fan subconsciously glanced at the "light belt" around his waist.

Fortunately, the insurance is still there.

Looking at the external insurance that the Kraken had transformed into, Chen Fan's uneasiness eased a little.

He no longer hesitated and simply raised his hand and reached out towards the information stream in front of him.

boom!
Completely different from the previous situation when he touched the edge information filaments, the moment it came into contact with the main area, countless confusing information poured into Chen Fan's mind extremely roughly!

"Fuck...fuck!"

Faced with this sudden situation, Chen Fan's face suddenly changed.

This is even more sour than the high-dimensional resonance of radio civilization! !
In the dark light, Chen Fan's consciousness was like a light bulb with unstable current, flickering on and off.

"grass……"

Feeling the strong dizziness that he hadn't experienced in a long time, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and said, "This is... a big deal!"

Almost subconsciously, the moment before his consciousness was completely occupied by this complex flow of information, Chen Fan, whose eyes were turning black, fiercely pulled the "light belt" wrapped around his waist.

Wow! ! !
A familiar wave of information appeared around his consciousness without warning, and the dark and deep starry sky before his eyes also quietly changed at this moment!
