Xiling Empire Chapter 1321: World before the end

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The Universe currently being hidden by Harlan is located on the edge of the Void white area, which is desolate and remote, and we have never set foot in it.

We usually divide Void into several areas based on the degree of radiation of the imperial forces: including the empire capital city, the area that is completely ruled by the empire and has all kinds of military establishments fortress is the empire interior, or directly referred to as the empire area It includes the Universe where the servant army lives and the hundreds of Universes that have been built one after another in the past five years; Hong World is managed by the empire like this, but we have not issued a ruling declaration for all Universe. World is a subordinate area, or called For the frontier of the empire-um, we have a very broad frontier, this one is more frenzied; outside the Hong World, it is completely not under the rule of the empire, but the area that can be monitored by the empire reconnaissance unit or the to scan system is called the far frontier This area is dubbed the "low security zone", basically you won't get any military asylum from the empire after reaching the frontier, and even asking for assistance from the Hong World is difficult. In addition to the Empire Army team, civilians It is definitely not easy to travel to the frontier.

And there are endless expanses of Void outside the frontier. Except for the territories of Starland, Huron God Clan and Fallen Apostles, this unexplored Void is collectively referred to as the "white area."

I do n’t know anything about it and there is no guarantee. The information here is as clean as white paper. This is the white area.

The World hidden by Harlan is located at the border between the White Zone and the Far Frontier. We have never been involved in this World, but as long as its information offset is closer to the Imperial Frontier 10%, it will fall into the garden of the world every day. Rational to scan is within range.

This World is still quite a "distance away" from the Universe where we found the material in our hometown. This is something that comforts me and Shandora very much. It seems that Harlan wandered here for a few days and found nothing. They There is a considerable gap between the information on the material of the hometown and the actual situation at hand. Shandora is also worried that once the two sides start a war, the battle scale will reach a certain degree and endanger the clue of the hometown World. It seems that I do n’t have to worry about this for the time being.

In the few hours we rushed to the front line from home, Seves has sent a large number of probes and three-wave scouts to the Universe, which is surrounded by Empire Army and is as airtight as the jar. She originally wanted to take this Identify Harlan's plan to face Empire Army, but the situation inside the World barrier seems odd.

"We saw that spaceship of Fallen Apostles was active in the main substance plane for a short time," Sieves reported to Shandora. "They must have found Empire Army outside the probe and World barrier, but they are very Hidden into the deep space, or disappeared from some space folds. This Universe is very strange, it should be naturally formed, but its internal space state is not very stable, and the space folds of large scale are detected The situation is as if there are many closed small World inside them-these things are not formed like nature, maybe there is a civilized civilization staying in this Universe for a short time, modifying its structure. "

"Now Harlan is hiding in that space fold?" Shandora looked at Sieves.

"Yes, they all hid in, neither prepared to break through, nor prepared to face up. Hidden in the space folds can only be safe for a while. It is really not smart to want to rely on this method of hiding and hiding against Empire Army, and Harlan There are clearly enough troops in his hand to fight, and he does not seem like a normal ... "

"Not like a normal Empire Military Personnel," Shandora nodded, "Did you even ignore basic military knowledge ... Well, regardless of what Harlan thinks, anyway, Empire Army will have to hit all the way sooner or later. Let ’s talk about this World Situation, it seems more than the space structure is abnormal-I see traces of intelligent biological activities. "

Shandora points to the projection of Hologram on the officer ’s platform, which shows a dimly reddish space. The appeared artifacts in space are very clear: it may be some kind of space station, and it is definitely not produced by the Empire.

"Yes, your majesty, there are aborigines here, and they have spread throughout the entire Universe," the expression on Sieves ’s face is still full of confusion, "this is the most incomprehensible place-Harlan seems to be at all Without intruding these indigenous people, he has been lurking in this World for a few days, but ... the subordinates have not found any signs of damage to this World. "

Fallen Apostles humans and animals stay in a certain World harmlessly? I understand what's going on on Sives' face.

"Have you ever contacted the Aborigines?" Onee-sama suddenly inserted a sentence.

"Not yet," Sieves replied, "Most of our attention is focused on searching for Fallen Apostles. Those Aboriginal science and technology levels seem to be average. They have not yet mastered the technology to jump out of this Universe. This is a group Species with limited potential, Empire Army has no extra energy to pay attention to them before solving the enemies in front of them. "

in other words Sieves knows nothing about this Universe indigenous race. I can understand her standard thinking way of thinking, and now the biggest problem is to get Harlan, the indigenous people of Universe-as long as they calm down and do n’t get involved, Empire Army really has no extra energy to look after they. But I think it is still good to contact these indigenous people. They have covered the entire Universe. Although they did not jump out of World, they are also civilized according to the imperial standards. Empire Army and Fallen Apostles will definitely be discovered by these indigenous people. Contact them in advance, and you may be able to avoid a lot of trouble.

"Siege troops continue to maintain interference with the World barrier, I request that the relay base station can be operated within 24 hours," Shandora ordered after a little contemplation, "main force troops began to sink to the main substance plane, I would like to See if Harlan at this moment can continue to hide safely and securely. "

It turns out that the guy is really capable!

When the main force legion of Empire Army entered the Universe with a big swing, even after quickly setting up positions, Fallen Apostles did not even show a shadow!

"Confirm that no enemy response has been detected-within the range of Universe." Sieves reported from the command post.

I opened my mouth: "There is no movement at all? Even if a reconnaissance machine or a probe comes out to see the situation, Oh!"

"There was no movement at all, Fallen Apostles didn't even put a probe, we didn't even detect the radar response of the enemy," Sieves reconfirmed the data before him, and took nodded seriously, "They It ’s like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand pretending not to exist ... "

This time even Shandora is a bit powerless: "What the **** is that Harlan doing ... prepare me for a full Universe broadcast."

The communication department immediately prepared the high-energy broadcasting tower. This giant tower installed on the longitudinal arm of the empire general can let Youneng echo through the entire Universe in the form of signal waves, and it is easy to carry out the whole World without delay Shandora wanted Harlan to fight immediately. She ordered the broadcast to be adjusted to the Harlan legion ’s own frequency. This frequency was intercepted by us during the last border battle. Using this frequency to broadcast is itself a serious provocation. However, in Empire Army announced that this Universe has been controlled and asked Fallen Apostles to face the fight for more than ten minutes immediately, Harlan still pretends that he does not exist as a cat in a space fold ...

Suddenly I was a bit doubtful whether the information of Syves was wrong. Is the Harlan residual part really in this World?

Sieves immediately guaranteed the accuracy of the information. Not only was she convinced that the army of Harlan was somewhere in this Universe, but she had never escaped. So we conducted the second broadcast again, this time the broadcast content was kindly proposed by Icetis, and the wording was particularly concise: "Harlan is kind of out there and it hurts!"

Of course, there is still no movement from the enemy.

This is not the response that the Xiling soldiers should have, but no one knows what happened to Harlan. Shandora finally ordered the establishment of space fortress in place and started to scan the entire Universe: no matter where Harlan is hidden, wait for the entire World After the abnormal points of space have been resolved, he will come out to fight sooner or later. I really do n’t know the meaning of his cat like this. Do you plan to create a new battleship enough to compete with the imperial army in three or two days?

Or ... he is using this time to recharge the King's Formation?

In the end, this is the only possibility, but soon I feel that it is not reliable. If Harlan still has a little brain, he should know that he is now in a state of escape. Common sense, after all, reducing the life of spaceship is better than being beaten. So he should not be hiding now to recharge the king's presence.

Anyway, a volley that should have been a fast and fierce volley has entered a brief stalemate due to the abnormal behavior of Harlan, and when the two sides have started to stalemate, I will focus my spare attention elsewhere in this Universe.

The next day, I started to look at the various scenes taken by the probes from the deep space, and the real space scenes captured by the shipborne observation equipment. The things I saw were surprising.

I saw an unusually old World that was on the verge of decay.

When the fleet arrived, I noticed that the starlight in surroundings ’s space was dim, and the stars and the nebula in the distance were barely visible. At that time, I thought the fleet was just teleporting to a thin area of ​​celestial bodies, or the Universe itself. Because of the rarity of the celestial bodies, when the picture taken by the probe was sent to my own eyes, I found that not this Universe celestial body was rare, but all the stars have entered the twilight years-this World has entered the late stage, within the range of Universe Our star-making movements are on the verge of stopping. We do not see bright nebulae because those nebulae have run out of fuel and resources. Ninety percent of the stars they produced have been extinguished, and now only dim embers remain. According to the detection, the Universe is still slowly expanding, but the expansion rate is almost stagnation. According to the calculation of the shipboard host, the total amount of material of this World is just at the critical point, and its final destiny is to go down at a certain Time Stop, neither expanding, It will not shrink and become a solidified space. All the celestial bodies inside it will be extinguished one by one after a long time. Eventually this Universe will turn into a dark bubble, the entropy tends to infinity, no more phenomenon will happen, wait The moment the information flow stops completely, it will swallow quietly by Void.

In my room, I looked at the pictures from deep space one by one. The little Doll girl was hanging on her body. The little girl could not understand the things at all, but she was very professional.

This is quite like myself ...

A Universe, which is about to die, is in a dim light.

space is full of ancient black holes and cooling materials. The probe is not nothing on the dark picture taken in the deep layer space. There are a lot of black holes there. The high-density objects formed after the star depletion completely occupy this World In the starry sky, from the number of black holes, we can judge that this Universe must have also had a pastoral era where the stars were shining. At that time, the active objects in space must be several times more than those black holes.

In space, you can also find something that is releasing light and heat, which are some dark red objects: red dwarf stars. These stars, which are depleted of fuel but not enough to form a black hole, are burning at an extremely slow rate, squeezing their last point of within the body energy. Some of them have been completely depleted, and now they are just releasing the heat stored in them. . These low-temperature stars are like small lights dotted on the black velvet, with ambiguous shimmers flashing in the moment when Universe ends. The end of this Universe belongs to the most classic situation in the end of World: cooling.

Universe has many end methods. Natural and end-of-life end methods are mainly divided into three types: expansion to large tear, collapse to singularity, or just at the critical point, slowly cooling in a black bubble state, cold winter in space Will kill everything. The World in front of me is slowly ushering in the end of the third kind of World. Of course, this "welcome" is viewed from the length of the evolution of Universe. It will take about 100 million years for this World to completely cool down until all the survival space disappears. Those dim red dwarf stars are completely extinguished. time.

And the last aborigine of Universe lives in the star surroundings that is about to die.

According to the pictures collected by the probe, the dim stellar embers surroundings almost all have settlements, including natural objects and man-made space fortresses. This Universe remnant indigenous people live there, gathering in the cooling red The dwarf star surroundings, which collects already stellar energy, is like the asylum seekers who are warmed by a small pile of campfire embers when winter night comes, except that the winter night they face will not have sunrise, and they are in front of them. The embers are already the last fuel of this Universe.

"If it ’s not because of Harlan, now we should start the doomsday assessment of the indigenous people here."

I gently lifted my arm and twisted the Little Doll pillowed on my elbow. Icetis was right, I should teach this child something, even if it would not become a Commander, as one of the royal family, she must at least Understand the basic truth-can't bear bear children who don't learn inexperienced in their own family, they are enough bears now ...

"Apple of Doom?" Little Doll has been confused by the dazzling space picture and the everything in disorder label on the picture. at this moment returned to me in a sleepwalking state, "I do n’t like apples, they are too big , But also hug and eat ... "

Me: "..."

After I repeated it for the little girl, the Doll girl became interested: "What is that?"

"This Universe is gradually extinguishing," I pointed to something on the data terminal, "You see these dark red light spheres, red dwarf stars, if they can see dark lines on their surface, it means that the red dwarf star is almost completely dead. A lot of Universe has a limited amount of material, and the total amount of materials that can be used to make stars is so many. Now this World is dying. After these stars are extinguished, there will be no new stars in space, but this World Of Aboriginals have not yet mastered the technique of jumping out of World. "

"They are going to die, aren't they?" Little Doll thought for a while, "I remember, if civilization is going to be extinct, and the empire is free, it will help."

I think Little Doll ’s understanding does n’t seem right, but basically it means: “It ’s about the same, but it ’s not as simple as helping hand. Any rational civilization belongs to the order side, in front of the abyss, order side All of the creatures belong to a camp. The empire is based on this logic and will help other species-um, the 'help means' in Old Empire will not be discussed for the time being. In short, the empire has a special evaluation group and logic system to judge a civilization What level of guidance is required? If the assessment concludes that the indigenous people of World do not have the ability of spontaneous research cross-cutting technology, then they may be sent directly to a new World to survive. If the assessment conclusion they can carry out under limited guidance science and technology breakthrough, then the empire will help them manufacture equipment for sailing across World. However, no matter what kind of assistance, unless the target civilization voluntarily becomes a vassal of the empire, it will strive to not exert monopolistic control over this civilization, and finally this is just added by the new empire Rules. "

Little Doll seemed to understand, and it was nodded, and then her sight was suddenly attracted by a picture on the data terminal, and suddenly grabbed my arm with surprise: "Hey, look at this, so bright ! This is an artificial sun made by local people? "

I quickly turned back the picture I just jumped over. This is a deep space picture just uploaded by the probe. The probe should be passing through a dead star system towards the nearest red dwarf star. A glance—so I uploaded a picture a dozen seconds ago. In the center of the picture is a sun that is almost completely extinguished, far away, and in the lower left corner of the picture is a planet at close range, with a particularly bright light spot above the planet.

I watched it for a long time and felt that the light spot was a bit familiar, so I immediately directed the probe to go back and look at it a few more times.

A minute later, the picture observed by the probe was transmitted in real time, and I was dumbfounded:

The light spot is not an artificial sun made by local indigenous people at all, but a ... an EOP-03! !

(It is expected that Manwang magazine has spread to most outlets, it seems that it is time to go out and get the sun and buy a book by the way.)
