"No!" Aried woke up with a start, as if he was frightened by something. He shouted, "Stop it now! Quickly stop! "His face was deathly pale, without the slightest trace of blood.
"Stop!" Ye Chong ordered decisively. Darkniss slowly came to a stop. Ye Chong stared at Aried. "What's the problem?"
Aried stuttered, "This is a spatial crack … No … there's a spatial crack … it's unstable …" He stammered. Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, but his words were unclear.
Ye Chong frowned. "Speak clearly."
Aried took a deep breath and regained some of his composure. "There are spatial cracks here. They are chaotic space within a small area. The spatial cracks will move slowly, and everything within the spatial cracks will be cut into countless small pieces. The power of space is not something that the body can resist. Besides, they are invisible to the naked eye. This area is very dangerous. If our battleship enters the area where the space crack is, then everything on the battleship, including us, will be cut into countless small pieces. "He then pointed at the holographic screen." Just like that rock! "
The faces of all the crew members in the main control room changed.
Aried paused for a moment, and continued quickly, "Spatial cracks are caused by spatial instability. So far, there is no concrete explanation for their formation. However, there is no doubt that they are dangerous. They can crush everything in this world, no matter how hard they are. However, there are very few spatial cracks that have been discovered. They are only distributed in a few unstable areas. Research on them is still lacking. I don't know much about them. "
Ye Chong looked calm. His calmness also greatly reduced the uneasiness in the hearts of these crew members who had always trusted him, and calmed them down. They believed that their master would have a solution.
"What do you suggest?" Ye Chong asked Aried. He was an expert in this field, and Ye Chong believed that he would have a solution.
"We don't have the equipment to detect spatial cracks. We can only build a new scanning system. Now, I need the help of an expert in mechanics. " Aried did not decline. This was not the time to be polite. If they were caught by the spatial cracks, they would all be doomed.
"Alright! Let me help you. "Ye Chong did not hesitate either. He was the most skilled mechanic on the entire warship.
Just as the two of them were about to start, Sha Ya, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Maybe I can try."
Everyone's eyes focused on her. She still had the same expression, but her voice was no longer as hoarse as before. "I can sense them."
Aried was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed. "Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget about you! You can sense the structure of the spatial window, so there must be no problem with these spatial cracks. "
With a soft hiss, a holographic screen suddenly dimmed. Immediately, a crew member reported, "Hummingbird 311 was attacked and destroyed." From the other holographic screens, the entire process of the hummingbird's destruction could be clearly seen. It was on its way back to the warship when it was dismembered in an instant. The scene sent chills down everyone's spine!
He watched helplessly as a Hummingbird in the air silently, in less than a second, suddenly turned into countless pieces, and the pieces fell all over the place. They did not see anything coming into contact with the hummingbird. The hummingbird was simply dismembered in the air. This incomprehensible phenomenon was very shocking.
"30 degrees radius vector!" Sha Ya suddenly raised her voice.
The central control room, which had just recovered from the silence, was in chaos. The crew members quickly steered the warship to the right.
Ye Chong shook his head. These students were still inexperienced. They needed more training. On the surface, however, his expression did not change. He knew that as the leader, he must remain calm. This was the only way to ensure the emotional stability of his soldiers.
As expected, Ye Chong's actions soon produced a clear result. The students gradually recovered from their initial panic. They followed Sha Ya's orders carefully and cautiously. Darkniss moved forward at the lowest speed possible.
The central control room quickly quieted down. Only Sha Ya's voice could be heard. Other than the few crew members controlling the warship, the rest of the crew members held their breaths as they watched the holographic screen nervously.
Sha Ya's terminology was very precise. She had also passed all the required courses for every student. Coupled with her accurate judgment of length and angle, Darkniss did not run into any trouble along the way.
However, the crew members did not let their guard down. On the contrary, they were all on high alert. They saw many rocks of different sizes disintegrating into dust right before their eyes. Of the Hummingbirds that were released, only three managed to return. The rest had already turned into a pile of pieces.
Ye Chong took a look at Sha Ya, who was focusing on her parapsychic sense, and asked Aried, "Will there be any danger ahead?"
Aried smiled bitterly. "I don't know. Spatial cracks are rarely discovered, and they are too dangerous. Those who could conduct research there were all very powerful scientific research institutions. For someone like me, it's a dead end if I go there. Until now, I've never heard of any research results in this area. We're too unfamiliar with it. "
Ye Chong was quiet. He thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. "Is it possible to form spatial windows around here?"
Aried nodded. "Where there are spatial cracks, it's easy to form spatial windows. As long as there's enough energy to stimulate it … "
At this point, Ye Chong and Aried exchanged a look.
Aried suddenly became excited. "Spatial window, yes, it's a spatial window. There must be spatial windows here that lead to other places! Maybe the red-tailed beasts came from here to He Yue Galaxy. Yes! It's possible! "
Even Rui Bing, who was standing beside Ye Chong, was overjoyed to hear that there was a possibility of returning to He Yue Galaxy.
"We need to survive first." Ye Chong's calmness calmed Aried down. Aried thought for a moment, and looked up. "We can only rely on Sha Ya now. Spatial cracks are usually not very large. They are actually unstable regions of space. Once the size of a crack exceeds a certain threshold, the space will collapse. However, based on our current speed, it will take a few more days. "
Everyone's gaze was focused on Sha Ya, who had her eyes closed and a calm expression.
They had been flying for two days now. Aside from one incident where the side of the warship was accidentally grazed by a spatial crack, everything else had gone smoothly. The part that was grazed by the crack left a hole about half a meter deep in the thick armor. There were countless cracks at the bottom of the hole. Everyone broke out in cold sweat when they saw that. However, the part that was grazed was quickly repaired.
Even Ye Chong had never experienced such slow progress before. However, there was nothing he could do. After all, he was not omnipotent. Professional matters should be left to the experts. This was Ye Chong's philosophy since a long time ago.
"Sir, look!" A crew member's excited voice broke the silence in the control room.
Ye Chong looked up.
On the holographic screen, a black spatial window floated in the air.
"A spatial window!" Aried's voice was filled with joy. He stuttered, "It's really a spatial window. Oh, my heavens …"
This spatial window was about fifteen meters in diameter, and the pitch-black circle floated quietly. It was as silent as this deathly silent area.
"What's that?" Rui Bing suddenly asked, pointing at a spot not far from the spatial window.
He followed Rui Bing's finger, and his eyes lit up. He reached out his right hand and said, "Stop!"
The crew member immediately stopped the warship. Ye Chong lifted his head and walked towards the holographic screen, his eyes glued to the screen.
"Here, zoom in."
The image on the bottom left corner of the holographic screen was zoomed in.
"What's that?" Sang Kan studied it closely. "Hmm, it looks like a big clay figurine."
From the shape, they could vaguely make out the shape of a human. It looked like a clay figurine. The clay figurine was huge. It was half sitting, but if it stood up, it would probably be as tall as a normal mech.
This was the only thing with a human aura they had seen so far. Was it natural or man-made? If it was man-made, then what kind of person would make a clay figurine here? Why would he make a clay figurine like this?
The sudden appearance of the clay figurine, and the spatial window not far away, made things very strange. The seated clay figurine was suddenly filled with a mysterious aura.
"Sha Ya, is there any danger near the spatial window?" He suddenly turned to her and asked.
"It's very dangerous!" Sha Ya's expression was very serious. "There are many spatial cracks around this spatial window, and they are moving much faster than other places."
"How do we get close to the spatial window?" Ye Chong looked straight at Sha Ya.
Sha Ya did not avoid Ye Chong's gaze. They looked at each other for a moment, and then she closed her eyes again.
After about 30 seconds, she opened her eyes and said plainly, "There's a crack, but it's not big. If we want to go in, we'll have to walk."
"Alright, let's go." Ye Chong did not hesitate.
Sha Ya walked in front, with Rui Bing following closely behind. They first landed on a small transport ship. However, the landing process was very troublesome. It should have taken them only a minute, but it took them 15 minutes. Their surroundings were clear and peaceful, but danger lurked everywhere. The three of them did not dare to be careless.
Once they landed, Sha Ya led the two of them forward slowly. She closed her eyes and carefully controlled her parapsychic sense to a small area. Her feet seemed to have eyes of their own as they moved forward quickly. Ye Chong and Rui Bing followed closely behind. They turned left, then right, and even retreated from time to time. Sha Ya's physical training was effective. She might not be as fast as Ye Chong and Rui Bing, but she was much faster than she used to be.
It took them only 10 minutes to reach the clay figurine safely.
Sha Ya did not understand why Ye Chong was so interested in the clay figurine, even risking his life to come here. This was not like him. Rui Bing said nothing, and only watched Ye Chong quietly.
Ye Chong walked up to the clay figurine. He could see it more clearly here than on the holographic screen. This must have been made by a human. Ye Chong was even more certain of this.
The dust on the surface of the clay figurine was very loose. He touched it lightly, and a large amount of it fell off.
Ye Chong's pupils contracted when he saw the black under the dust. At that moment, his usually calm heart began to beat wildly. Without hesitation, he reached out and began to sweep away the dust on the surface of the clay figurine.
The dust was very thick, about 50 centimeters thick. It was all very light dust. It was hard to imagine how many years it would have taken to accumulate such a thick layer of dust.
Rui Bing and Sha Ya noticed Ye Chong's actions and quickly went to help.
Five minutes later, all the dust was gone. The three of them were covered in dust, but no one cared about that. They stared blankly at the huge object in front of them.
It was a black mech. Many of its parts still shone like new, even after so many years. However, the first thing that caught Ye Chong's attention was the many wounds all over the mech. One could imagine that it must have experienced an extremely intense battle.
There was a large hole in the mech's cockpit, probably caused by a sharp object piercing through the cockpit. An injury to this area was undoubtedly fatal. The mech pilot inside had no chance of survival. This was also the most serious injury the mech had ever sustained.
The mech's surface had a dark metallic luster. Ye Chong was very familiar with this unique metallic luster and texture. The long and narrow leaf logo on the mech was very eye-catching. Ye Chong had never seen the model of the mech before, but that did not stop him from making a quick and accurate judgement.
Ye Family mech. This was a very typical, very advanced Ye Family mech!
