Advanced Players in Arc - Chapter 870

c853 Where to go? (The final chapter)

After seeing them off, Dong Chen came to his underground hangar and came to the brand new “Black Hawk”.

Unlike the old Black Hawk, this one no longer has the shape of an airplane, but has been replaced by the shape of a starship in a science fiction movie.

The appearance of the new “Black Hawk” refers to the 600i luxury yacht in “Citizens Selling Boats”. The appearance is very sci-fi, but the color is changed to black, which makes it look more mysterious and elegant.

The length of nearly 100 meters, coupled with the redesign and layout of the internal structure, improves the utilization rate. Therefore, in addition to Dong Chen’s living space, it also carries a lot of landing equipment, such as small aircraft, vehicles, etc., for landing on the planet. use.

The driving position is also specially designed to create a setting that can enter the escape cabin in the shortest time, thus maximizing safety.

After changing into a special lightweight spacesuit in the cabin, he put a specially designed and manufactured comprehensive planetary adventure smart bracelet on his wrist, reached out and touched it casually in the air a few times, and tried it with his newly replaced eyes. The connection to the corneal monitor was very smooth, so I sat in the driver’s seat and said, “Let’s go, No. 1.”

“Okay, sir.”

As the sound of No. 1 sounded, the “Black Hawk” became optically invisible, and the parking platform slowly rose, directly to the ground. Then the spacecraft’s engine started, and it flew into the sky.

After the spacecraft broke through the atmosphere, it accelerated away from the earth. Dong Chen looked back at the appearance of the earth and officially started his journey into the universe.

After leaving the earth for a while, No. 1 turned on the space jump engine of the spacecraft and entered the jump channel.

The spacecraft entered the jump channel. Dong Chen and No. 1 checked that all systems were normal and there were no problems. Dong Chen cast his sight outside the huge cockpit window.

Looking at the pitch black surrounding the spacecraft and not much to see, he sat back in the driver’s seat and looked at the “virtual” speed and distance display. Dong Chen asked No. 1, “We are almost reaching the edge of the solar system now. How long will it take for us to reach it?” Reaching Proxima Centauri?”

“Sir, we…”

Before No. 1 could answer Dong Chen’s question, the spacecraft suddenly sounded an alarm, and a bright light flowed in front of the energy shield. Then they escaped from the jump channel and returned to the normal cosmic space.

“What’s going on, number one?”

This sudden change caused the spacecraft to shake violently. Dong Chen was so frightened that he quickly held on to the armrests of his seat and fastened his seat belt.

“Sir, it’s an emergency, we are in danger!”

“The high-energy reaction ahead directly caused us to escape from the jumping channel, and the energy shield energy was consumed violently…”

“Sir, please go to the small aircraft to escape immediately and return to Earth!”

Dong Chen didn’t even react to the series of words from No. 1. As soon as he unfastened his seat belt and stood up, the spacecraft shook violently, the lights in the cockpit also dimmed, and the holographic display began to flash, as if the energy loss was indeed very serious. .

This sway almost knocked Dong Chen down. Thanks to Dong Chen holding on to the armrest, he didn’t fall down. However, he sat back on his seat and attracted Dong Chen’s attention to the display screen. Dong Chen was shocked by the thing.

The shaking just now made him dizzy, and when he concentrated again, time seemed to slow down, just like the “bullet time” he accidentally discovered before.

The position of the spacecraft shown on the top of the screen was the edge of the solar system. It had just broken out of the Oort cloud, and another screen showed that the solar system wrapped in the Oort cloud behind it was glowing slightly like a sphere.

It was the faint sunlight reflected by a huge amount of interstellar dust, ice, stones, and metal blocks. Against the dark background of the universe, it actually looked like a glorious bubble suspended in the starry sky.

Extremely fragile, yet so beautiful.

This moment of absence caused the situation to change again. The sound of “glass” breaking reached Dong Chen’s ears, waking him up directly from the “bullet time”. At the same time, No. 1 became anxious. The voice also rang.

“It’s too late! Sir, can you open the game space now? Please leave this place quickly.”

Hearing this, Dong Chen looked at the huge and sturdy viewing window in front of the cockpit. A deep crack had been carved on it. The weak energy shield reaction was still resisting the attack of the energy tide from outside, and was in danger of being exhausted at any time.

The situation was urgent and Dong Chen could not be delayed any longer, so he directly opened the arc door to the interstellar age world and prepared to escape.

But the Arc Gate, which was usually very stable and could be opened wherever he wanted, opened outside the spaceship this time, and expanded instantly, draining away all Dong Chen’s energy to maintain the Arc Gate.

The arc gate expanded to its limit, even exceeding 200 meters in diameter, and was directly mixed with the turbulent energy flow outside. It was as if a drop of water was mixed into the boiling oil, making the energy tide outside become even more violent in an instant, and even began to Some space wormholes appeared and disappeared instantly, flashing randomly on the energy display.

At the same time, the spacecraft became even more unstable, and even the gravity device failed. Fortunately, Dong Chen kept holding on to the handrails firmly to prevent it from floating randomly.

The flashing holographic projection of No. 1 kept looking at Dong Chen. Seeing that Dong Chen’s self-rescue method failed, he asked Dong Chen to try the last resort.

“Sir, please sit in the driver’s seat and enter the emergency escape cabin to escape. I have sent a distress signal to the earth!”

“good!”

Dong Chen didn’t talk nonsense, it was important to escape first.

He immediately sat down in his seat, and the seat belt was automatically connected instantly.

Then the driver’s seat immediately lay flat, the base structure opened, and the seat took Dong Chen and sank directly into the egg-shaped escape capsule below.

After the escape hatch was tightly closed, he was instantly ejected from the spacecraft.

As soon as the escape capsule ejected from the spacecraft, Dong Chen saw through the small window on the escape capsule that the spacecraft was instantly crushed into pieces and then sucked into several different space wormholes before disappearing.

“Sir, please wait patiently, the rescue fleet is…”

The moment the spacecraft shattered and disappeared, the voice of No. 1 also stopped. Dong Chen knew that it was because the intelligent system storage device on the spacecraft was broken, or even because it disappeared into the wormhole and went to an unknown place. Contacted.

However, there was no interval of a second, and the voice of No. 1 continued to ring, because the No. 1 of the earth host came online.

“…Come here, you will be rescued soon.”

“Well,” Dong Chen calmed down after being rescued, “What is going on, No. 1, why did our spaceship explode at the edge of the solar system?”

“Sir, the situation is unknown now, but according to the data sent back before the spacecraft exploded, there seems to be a barrier outside the solar system that is blocking…”

“Sir, in case of emergency, a “flickering wormhole” suddenly appeared in front of the escape cabin. The micro-jet device that comes with the escape cabin is not enough…”

“Zi…I will…rescue you…”

“Zi…”

“…………”

Seeing that the starry sky in front of him suddenly fell into darkness, and no starlight could be seen at all, Dong Chen knew that he had entered a space tunnel, and even the quantum communication was interrupted, he also knew…

No, he didn’t know where he was going.

If the distance is not so long that even quantum communication cannot be reached, then it means that we have gone to a place where quantum communication signals are blocked. Anyway…

“Depend on!!”

And as he was thinking about it, his consciousness was still a little blurry, and he could vaguely hear some sounds.

“…Lost contact with the main system…”

“…the escape cabin scheduled program is started, and the cryogenic sleep of the escapees begins…”

“…Distress signals continue to be sent…”

Before Dong Chen’s thinking completely fell into darkness, his mind was full of questions and he couldn’t figure out why.

“Why is the solar system wrapped in an energy barrier? Is this the true power of the “Great Filter”? Is it also the cruel true face of the Great Filter?”

“If we can’t break through the blockade of the “eggshell”, can’t “life” be born?”

“How did this barrier appear? Is it man-made or naturally generated?”

“What is the purpose of this energy barrier that exists?”

“Then why can aliens break through the energy barrier and enter the solar system without any abnormalities?”

“Where is the future of mankind… exactly?”

“And…why me?”

“And…where on earth am I going to float to?!!”
