Their fleet brushed past the edge of a huge whirlpool of rocks. Arwa had been quick to react, and did not make any mistakes in his series of commands. That was how they managed to escape from the whirlpool. Even so, Arlwa's fleet had lost a total of 62 starships.
All of this happened in less than 10 minutes.
A more serious problem loomed before them. They had to take a detour to avoid the whirlpool of rocks. Their original three-day journey had been extended to five days.
No one expected the extra two days to be so dangerous. All the crew members, including Arwa, were thankful that they had just escaped death.
Casualties began on the third day. The density of rocks here had exceeded the firepower of the fleet. Rocks continued to break through the firepower of the fleet and hit the starships. Arwa didn't reinforce the wall. This seemingly unimportant detail made him suffer.
The seemingly sturdy armor of the starship was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the meteor-like rocks, unable to withstand a single blow.
Every explosion of a starship caused Arwa's heart to ache. There were hundreds of people on each starship!
His face paled. Xiao Wan felt a pang in her heart, but did not know what to say to comfort him. She could not do anything about the situation.
However, no one knew that beneath Arwa's pale face, there was a strong heart. He knew that he needed to be resilient at times like this.
Ye Chong toyed with the dimension keystone in his hand. Kui had once said that Celest's dimension keystone had other uses.
This dimension keystone was good stuff. While the Research Consortium's spatial science research was not advanced enough, they had achieved some good results. Almost all the research results of the Research Consortium in space science had been used to construct this dimension keystone. The most practical of them all was spatial storage technology. This dimension keystone was a masterpiece of spatial storage technology.
Spatial science research had been carried out in the Research Consortium's early days. This was the golden age of spatial science research in the He Yue Galaxy. However, the Three Aristocratic Families focused their research on mech dimension keystone technology. The Research Consortium's research was not on this, but on spatial storage technology.
It was precisely because the three aristocratic families had chosen the right path for scientific research and development that they had reaped astonishing rewards. However, the Research Consortium did not reap the corresponding benefits because of their results. However, their spatial storage technology was also unique. One such example was Shen's spatial keystone.
Celest's dimensional keystone was capable of storing a large number of items. Compared to the Dimension Button technology developed by the Three Aristocratic Families, it was more advanced. In terms of storage, he had his own unique skills. The Dimension Keystone technology developed by the Three Aristocratic Families was also known as the normal Dimension Keystone technology. It was a one-to-one system, which meant that something in the outside world could form a one-to-one connection with something in the alternate dimension. For example, the one-to-one connection between a mech and a Dimension Keystone. A Dimension Keystone could only work on one mech.
On the other hand, the space storage technology developed by the Research Consortium was one-to-many. In other words, a space button could be used to communicate with multiple objects placed in an alternate dimension. In other words, many things could be placed in the alternate space of a Dimension Keystone.
From the current point of view, spatial storage technology was extremely practical. But at that time, the cost was too high. In addition, the technology at that time was not mature, and the one-to-many connection could easily lead to the instability of the alternate dimension. However, with the continuous development of technology, today's space storage technology has become very perfect. Even so, the Research Consortium had missed the opportunity to surpass the Three Aristocratic Families in space science.
Ye Chong did not know how many things could be stored in this inconspicuous metal hoop.
He realized that the better something was, the more people liked to make it look ordinary.
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous metal hoop would be so valuable.
Ye Chong began to search the place.
Kui once said that this laboratory was the core laboratory of every generation of the Research Consortium, and contained the best products of every generation. In Ye Chong's eyes, the laboratory was full of good stuff.
At first, he was still picking and choosing, but later, he realized that there were too many things in the laboratory, many of which he did not recognize. The ring on his finger did not move at all, as if it was a bottomless pit. Therefore, he simply threw everything he saw into the ring. In the end, he did not even know how many things he had taken, much less what they were.
However, there was one thing he was sure of - they were all good stuff.
He did not even intend to let go of the equipment in the laboratory, and threw them all into the ring.
He also threw away his waist bag, and put everything inside the ring. After all, that was safer.
Ye Chong was like a swarm of locusts. Wherever he went, everything was clean. The laboratory was huge. Even though he moved quickly, there were still too many things. The Research Consortium's hundreds of years of accumulation were all here. One could imagine how much there was! In the end, Ye Chong's movements became almost mechanical. At first, he would be surprised when he found something good, but now he was indifferent.
Ye Chong scanned the area mechanically. He was already numb to it, but he was actually quite happy. After all, this was like a treasure trove to him.
He suddenly stopped and looked up ahead.
A black circle was floating not far away from him. Without realizing it, he had reached a corner of the laboratory.
This black circle was almost identical to the two he had seen before. The first two black circles were not pleasant experiences for Ye Chong. The first time was when he almost lost his life to the sound wave in the underground cavern, and the second time, he saw a red-tailed beast appear.
He remembered what Kui said. This was where they first found the teardrop mineralite and an unstable spatial window.
Could this be the unstable spatial window?
Ye Chong had no foundation in spatial studies. He did not even know what a spatial window was. He could only guess.
Where did this spatial window lead to?
The black circle floated in the air, looking eerie and eerie.
Ye Chong decided to go around the black circle. Who knew if it was dangerous here?
It was better to be careful!
Ye Chong decided to go around the black circle because he saw something else in the corner. He planned to put these things into his ring. The circle looked eerie, but Ye Chong felt that he should be safe as long as he did not touch it. After all, the circle had been here for so many years. If it was dangerous, the Research Consortium would have taken precautions.
Ye Chong successfully went around the black circle without touching it. This also made him heave a sigh of relief. He was still very vigilant towards this thing.
He lowered his head and went to collect the things in the corner. The corner was very secluded. There was a pile of things covered in dust, a stark contrast to the clean surroundings. This made him even more curious. Hence, he did not put the things into his ring immediately. Instead, he bent down and examined them carefully.
However, he did not expect the black circle behind him to change so drastically.
The black circle suddenly expanded, then shrank, expanded again, shrank again …
It beats as regularly as a human heart, but without a sound. Ye Chong did not notice the change behind him while he examined the things in his hand. He was surprised by the thing in his hand. The thing in his hand was a very strange thing. He had never seen such a strange thing before.
There was a light blue fungus growing on the pink colloid.
The fungus had a strange shape, thin like human hair. However, it did not fall down, but floated in the air like seaweed. Ye Chong did not recognize it. The chip Lunatic Guan gave him did not mention anything about it either.
Could it be a new species?
Ye Chong carefully cleaned the dust off it, and quickly removed the entire colloid.
Behind him, the black circle had changed from its rhythmic pulsation to spreading. The black circle, which had no thickness, was now like an inflated balloon, expanding towards its surroundings.
Ye Chong, who had just put the pink colloid and the unknown blue fungus into his ring, stood up straight.
Suddenly, his vision darkened.
The dark mass swallowed him whole. Then, the darkness closed in on him like a pair of hands. It shrank quickly.
Shang, who had just replaced his engine with teardrop mineralite, suddenly realized that he had lost contact with Ye Chong. By then, the black circle had shrunk into a black dot, and with a flash of light, disappeared into thin air.
Shang was shocked. "Ye!" Before he could finish, he was already gone from the modification room.
When he rushed to the laboratory, there was only an empty laboratory, a laboratory with nothing.
Shang immediately searched for Ye Chong in the base. However, no matter how hard he searched, Ye Chong seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Ye Chong felt his vision darken, and his mind went blank. He fainted.
When Ye Chong woke up and opened his eyes, he was stunned!
He was surrounded by lush green trees. This was a forest. The thick trees told him that this was a well-maintained primeval forest.
No way! There was no forest on Spectre. Before Ye Chong entered Spectre, he had asked Shang to scan the entire planet. They did not find any signs of life. It was a barren planet.
And now, he was in the middle of a forest.
What had happened? What had happened to him? Ye Chong stared at his hands in disbelief. The inconspicuous ring was still there, and the pink colloid and blue hairy fungus he had thrown in were also untouched.
Ye Chong tried to summon Celest.
Celest appeared before Ye Chong. Ye Chong felt a sense of strength and safety when he saw the solemn Celest.
Just when he felt a little more at ease, he suddenly realized that he had lost contact with Mu and Shang. This time, he was a little anxious. He tried desperately to summon Shang, but to no avail.
About ten minutes later, he ended his futile attempt. He did not get any response. He knew that he had been separated from Mu and Shang again.
Ye Chong was in a terrible mood.
He was even worse than the last time he was separated from Mu and Shang.
How did he end up here? How did he get separated from Shang? He had no idea. He did not know what was going on. He could not find any clues. This made him feel terrible, because it meant that he did not know how to find Mu and Shang.
Two hours later, Ye Chong finally recovered from his low point. It was rare for Ye Chong to be in such a low point for so long.
He had to put the problem of Mu and Shang aside for now. The most important thing for him now was to figure out where he was.
He summoned Celest and entered the pilot cabin.
After the teardrop mineralite, Celest looked completely different. The only thing that did not change was the solemn expression on its face. He ordered the bio-photon processor to activate Celest's scanning system.
Celest opened its eyes for the first time.
Its eyes were calm and calm, as deep as the abyss.
The bio-photon processor displayed his surroundings.
This was a vast forest, and one could occasionally see many creatures roaming about. However, Ye Chong did not recognize any of them. And he discovered a very strange thing. This forest was clearly divided into two parts.
Thick black fog divided the forest into two. One was brightly lit, and the other was shrouded in black fog.
The black fog seemed to possess a very strong electromagnetic interference and Shen was incapable of determining what was happening inside.
"Flying object detected." The bio-photon processor suddenly sounded an alert.
Today was Ban Meng's first time flying. As a beginner who had just obtained his qualification, he could only fly the most basic Wood Kite. However, he didn't need to worry about this problem because he only had enough money to buy one Wood Kite. His dream was to fly in the sky. As a simple-minded person with more brawn than brains, it was not easy to fly.
Ban Meng was tall and muscular. No one dared to offend him on the streets. However, he was not talented in parapsychic control. If not for his hard work, he would not even be able to fly the most basic Wood Kite.
The Wood Kite was a low-end aircraft suitable for beginners. It looked like a bird. It was made from 125 pieces of Divergent Branch Wood.
Ban Meng carefully controlled the trackball. His parapsychic control was weak, and he could barely control this low-end trackball to perform the simplest flight.
When Ban Meng was young, he had seen some dancers fly their aircraft and do all kinds of fancy tricks in the sky. Since then, little Ban Meng had his first wish in life - to fly in the sky.
To fly in the sky, one had to obtain a flying certificate. No one had ever flown in the sky without a flying aircraft, not even the strongest parapsychic user. However, just when little Ban Meng was filled with hope, he was told that he was not talented in parapsychic control.
The facts seemed to prove this point. His body grew stronger and stronger, far surpassing his peers. However, he did not show any talent in parapsychic control. Little Ban Meng was simple-minded, stubborn, and stubborn. He would not look back once he made up his mind. Fortunately, although his family wasn't very wealthy, it was still a well-off family. His parents could not do anything about it, so they let him do as he pleased.
In school, he was mocked by his classmates. Who would have thought that a seventeen-year-old youth could only fly a Wood Kite?
Ordinary people could fly a Wood Kite when they were around ten years old. Those who were talented could even fly a Wood Kite at the age of six or seven.
Regardless of the type of aircraft, the flight mechanism was the same. They all needed a pilot to control the trackball. Generally, a qualified pilot had to have two requirements. One was sufficient parapsychic control and the appropriate control skills, and the other was the endurance of the body. In terms of endurance, Ban Meng did not have any problems. His body was as strong as a calf. Even his teacher suggested that he transfer to the combat class.
It was the pilot's parapsychic control that operated the trackball. This was Ban Meng's biggest weakness. Although he worked very hard, his parapsychic control was very weak due to his lack of talent. If his parapsychic control had been weak like a candle in the wind before, it was now just a small candle in a room.
However, he did not give up. His teacher took pity on his perseverance and often gave him some help. Unfortunately, parapsychic control was the most dependent on talent. No matter how hard he tried, the effect was minimal.
Just like that, he slowly honed his parapsychic control until he could finally fly a Wood Kite.
The Wood Kite swayed unsteadily. Ban Meng sat in the cockpit, holding his breath. He focused on controlling the trackball carefully. He did not know that he was already far from the flight path.
It was the first time he saw such a strange aircraft. It was made of a strange material, like wood. Such a primitive aircraft could only be found in museums. It was made of gray wooden planks. However, Ye Chong found it strange that this wooden aircraft was very unsafe, and prone to accidents.
Wooden aircraft could not fly at high speeds, because of its low endurance.
This was what Ye Chong found strange. The aircraft was not flying fast, but it was clearly beyond the endurance of a wooden aircraft.
After some thought, Ye Chong decided to shoot it down first.
Shing!
A self-locking shuriken shot out from the weapons box on Celest's back. It flew towards the wooden bird as if it had eyes.
The shuriken hit the wooden bird accurately.
There was a loud crack.
The wooden bird immediately disintegrated into countless pieces in midair. Next, Ye Chong saw a man falling down from the countless wooden bird fragments, screaming in agony as he fell in freefall.
Shing! Another shuriken flew towards the man with a strong spin.
Ban Meng was completely unprepared for this sudden blow. He did not know why his Wood Kite would break apart in mid-air. Could it be that the owner of the aircraft had sold him a fake one? He was instantly infuriated!
However, the feeling of stepping on air immediately made him panic. Feeling himself desperately falling down, his mouth subconsciously let out a mournful scream. The wind blew into his ears, and he could not hear anything. There was only one thought in his mind - I'm finished! I'm really going to die here!
Just when all his hopes had turned to dust, the back of his neck suddenly tightened, and his entire body seemed to be fiercely dragged by something as he flew backwards!
Dong! A deep sound, like the beating of a drum, made his chest tighten.
Bam! He felt a sharp pain in his back. He crashed into a tree trunk.
Before he could scream in pain, another strong force came from behind him. He felt his throat tighten, and his clothes tighten around his neck. At the same time, his body tightened, and his falling momentum was forcibly stopped.
This sudden turn of events made him dizzy. He was just an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy, and had nothing to do with being well-trained. His mind was still a mess, and he did not understand what was going on.
When he came to, he was shocked to find himself suspended in mid-air.
He was more than 10 meters above the ground. This was a shocking discovery. He could not help but moan. "Oh my God, please save me!"
Fortunately, he found that his body was stable, and this calmed him down a little. Ban Meng calmed down a little, and decided to reach the ground safely as soon as possible. He was more than 10 meters above the ground. If he fell, he would be sacrificed to nature!
He looked down, and noticed that there was a black-haired man below him, carefully inspecting the Wood Kite fragments on the ground.
What's so interesting about a Wood Kite? Ban Meng thought to himself. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW. CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author. Support original reading!)
