National Star Sea Era

Chapter 74 Sand Sea Storm·Space Curtain (Please subscribe)

There is no need for Shen Qing to remind Song Chi to activate the energy shield faster than anyone else. However, the energy shield of the nether energy airship is not instant after all, and the charging time of up to 20 seconds cannot be changed.

It was also during the period when the dark matter energy shield generator was charging, that there was a sand sea storm with a diameter of tens of meters on each side on the left and right, attacking the two nether energy airships.

Looking at the speed at which they were advancing, it was obvious that before the two psionic airships successfully activated their energy shields, the two sides must collide.

 Woooooooo!

Outside the hull of the boat, rapid and high-pitched whimpers continued to echo, and the Cangqian underfoot was shaking violently. Even before the two sand sea storms were completely close, the huge hurricane they contained had already caused damage to the two psionic energy airships. had a great impact.

“The hurricane energy level generated by the eyes of these two sand sea storms may reach the peak of the first order..."

Just when I came up with this answer, Shen Qing's voice came from the communication projection again.

"Xiaochi, don't be careless. This is just the weakest type of sand sea storm. There are countless storm eyes all over this star sea floating land. Last time I encountered a super storm with a diameter of more than a kilometer, even if it was far away. Thousands of meters away, the Qingfeng barely escaped its violent storm.

Remember, never get caught in a sand sea storm of more than 100 meters. The eye of the storm is enough to tear apart our energy shields and armor layers. "

Song Chi was a little awe-inspiring. Shen Qing also told him a lot about the situation of this abandoned floating land before setting off. He had already known that there would be terrible natural disasters like sand sea storms, but the thousand-meter-level eye of the storm, think about it. I feel horrible.

The storm in front of us, which is only a few dozen meters in diameter, is already so scary. How can it be more than 100 meters in diameter? Not to mention the thousand-meter sand sea storm.

The interlocking beam belts wrapped around the two nether energy airships were retracted urgently. The engines of the two airships Cangqiong and Qingfeng were launched at full power almost at the same time. Under the strong thrust, the two airships easily broke away from the two seas of sand. After all, the gravitational circle of the storm is still in the outer area of ​​the storm, and the gravitational force is not too strong.

When the Cangqiong and the Qingfeng arrived at a relatively safe position, the energy shields of the two ships were fully activated one after another. Unlike the dark black mask on the surface of the Cangqiong, Shen Qing's Qingfeng had a layer of light spread out on the surface. After glancing at the white shield, Song Chi had a rough guess in his heart.

The energy shield carried on the Qingfeng is most likely a white quality component, which is a relatively common configuration among fire-fighting airships such as the nether energy airship.

Song Chi was not surprised. After all, counting the interstellar beacon components and the previous Xinhuo spacecraft locking device, Shen Qing's Qingfeng had at least two blue-quality components, which was a very rare thing on a ship. It is extremely rare to be promoted to the first level of a psionic airship within a few years.

Shen Qing, on the other hand, was completely surprised. Song Chi was able to advance to the first level in just three explorations of the alien space. The energy shield light curtain on the surface of the Cangqiong was obviously not weak at the moment. He felt that he had underestimated this friend who had been playing with him since childhood. .

He can naturally see that the dark matter energy shield is not simple, at least it is a blue level energy shield.

“Xiaochi, is this a blue quality energy shield?”

Hearing this inquiry, Song Chi did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.

 In Shen Qing's eyes, this is the default performance.

 For a moment, he felt a little emotional in his heart, secretly thinking that it was different to have a second-level biological father. Although he also had the support of his elders, the strength was far less strong.

But it was just a slight emotion, and Shen Qing naturally wouldn't really take it to heart.

He knew very well that Shen Wenjie was his second uncle after all. He could support him to a certain extent and find ways to recruit him to serve in the Jiangyuan Xinhuo Bureau. This was already a great degree of care.

  After all, his father was just an ordinary person who had never awakened the seed of fire. Shen Wenjie did not look down on his nephew because of this. He had taken care of him over the years. This was already a great kindness.

They each collected their thoughts, and the two controlled the psionic airship and began to move cautiously towards the location of the ruins.

 According to Shen Qing, the area where the ruins are located is an area with extremely dense sand sea storms, and sand sea storms with a diameter of 100 meters can be seen everywhere.

 Because of this, he did not dare to set the landing point of the beacon there, but moved to a relatively safe place.

While traveling along the way, the two of them did not dare to let the speed of the airship increase too fast, otherwise they might easily slip into the 100-meter-level sand sea storm gravitational field by accident, and it would take a lot of time to break free. Instead, it is better to move forward steadily to save time.

In the cab of the Cang Qiong, Song Chi carefully controlled the Cang Qiong's progress while looking at the indescribable floating land below from the corner of his eye.

 Although I have heard teachers introduce various floating land in previous courses, this is the first time I have actually seen it with my own eyes.

Looking at the endless sea of ​​sand, the yellow sand and storms flying all over the sky, it was difficult for him to imagine why a floating land in the sea of ​​stars would become like this.

Since the civilizational relics Shen Qing mentioned are on this floating land, it largely explains that this floating land was never like this in the past. Even if it is not a life-type floating land, it is at least a resource-type floating land. , otherwise the Nabulo civilization would not have spent manpower and material resources leaving civilization creations on it.

But then again, if the floating land under his feet is really as he thought, it was a resource-type or even life-type floating land a long time ago, then what is the reason for it to become so devastated now?

natural disaster?

Song Chi thinks it is unlikely. Ordinary natural disasters on land are not so powerful.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Shen Qing's voice came from the communication projection.

 “Xiaochi, we’re almost there, look at the huge rock in front of us.”

Hearing this, Song Chi subconsciously cast his gaze over, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.

“You call this a boulder? Is this higher than an ordinary mountain range?”

Song Chi was complaining in his heart, but his eyes remained on the square 10,000-meter boulder at the end of his field of vision.

That's right, it's 10,000 meters. Based on the distance calculation, the height of the square yellow rock boulder at the end of the field of view will never be less than 10,000 meters. This height is obviously quite astonishing.

Apart from being surprised, Song Chi was also more confused. No matter how he looked at it, he could not see any trace of civilization on this boulder except that it was a little too square.

The analysis results of the semi-intelligent shipboard brain on the Sky also show that 99% of this thing is an ordinary stone, a super giant one.

Shen Qing laughed as if he guessed what Song Chi was thinking.

 “Does it feel like it’s just an ordinary stone?”

 Seeing Song Chi nod without hesitation, Shen Qing explained:

"I was the same as you when I first came here, but the reality is completely different from what you thought. You will know later." Seeing that Shen Qing had made a pass, Song Chi didn't ask much, and the two airships Continue towards the boulder.

Suddenly, a terrifying sand sea storm with a diameter of more than 700 meters was frantically venting its seemingly inexhaustible majestic energy thousands of meters ahead.

Upon seeing this, Song Chi and the two of them, whose hearts were pounding, quickly moved away from each other. For this level of sand sea storm, the energy fluctuations in the center of the storm had reached the third level.

Whether it is the Cangqiong or the Qingfeng, once it is deeply trapped in its storm gravitational field, the hull will be torn to pieces in an instant. There will be no other results, because the engine parts carried by the two airships are only of white quality and are not enough at all. Break free from its terrifying gravitational field.

Just as the two airships turned around, the patrol radar on the Sky captured an ever-extending sand ridge in the yellow sand below. At first glance, it looked like a speeding line hidden under the yellow sand. The moving salon, with its terrifying ten-meter diameter, made the two people above the sky extremely vigilant.

If you guessed it correctly, what was moving rapidly under the yellow sand was most likely a desert creature of staggering size.

Song Chi subconsciously turned his questioning gaze to the projection light screen. Before Shen Qing could answer, the rapidly spreading sand dragon below suddenly stopped. The next second, an extremely ferocious black shadow suddenly rushed out from under the yellow sand.

This black shadow has an astonishing size. The diameter of ten meters is far from the point. The most astonishing thing is its terrifying length of hundreds of meters.

This is a creature similar to the earthworm in the previous life, but it is a super enlarged version. At one end of its head, there is a large circular mouth several meters in diameter, with a mouth full of densely packed sharp teeth.

While it raised its head and roared, Song Chi and Shen Qing in the sky could clearly see the dense fangs inside that shone with cold light, which was extremely terrifying.

After detecting the energy pressure emitted from its body, the life level of this thing is astonishingly as high as the second level. Once it collides with the Cangqiong and Qingfeng, the result will be at least 30% damage to the hull, or even sinking. Not surprising.

In desperation, even though they knew that the current height of the airship was safe enough, Song Chi and the two subconsciously raised it higher to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Looking at the questioning look from Song Chi, Shen Qing shrank his head and muttered:

 “I didn’t come across this thing last time…”

Song Chi naturally didn't say much. The fact that Shen Qing was able to reveal the ruins to him fully demonstrated the other party's trust in him. With their friendship, they naturally wouldn't complain about this, let alone this. It was an accident in the first place. Shen Qing had no idea that this thing existed beforehand.

The two ships avoided the sand storms and continued to move forward. The unknown creature behind them followed them for a distance. Fortunately, it seemed to be quite afraid of those sand storms. The two of them were stuck in the positions and positions of several storms. After a while, he got rid of the other party.

 An hour later, the Cangqiong and Qingfeng, which were hurrying slowly, finally successfully arrived under the Founder boulder.

It looked fine from a distance, but when he got up close to this huge boulder, Song Chi still sighed at the size of this thing. The terrifying height of more than 10,000 meters made the Cangqiong, which was less than 20 meters in front of it, look like a giant As small as an ant.

 In this regard, Song Chi had to lament the uncanny workmanship of nature. Of course, according to Shen Qing's previous tone, this thing did not seem to be natural, but a creation of the Bullo civilization.

Just when he was about to ask about the situation of this huge stone, Shen Qing spoke first.

“Try using the ship’s main or secondary guns to attack the side of the boulder.”

Following Shen Qing's prompts, Song Chi activated the nether energy secondary cannon in confusion, and then he suddenly understood.

After the attack from the psionic secondary cannon hit the side of the boulder, the expected explosion did not occur. The psionic bomb seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace.

Seeing this, Song Chi subconsciously uttered three words.

 “Space curtain?”

On the projection light screen, Shen Qing smiled and nodded slightly.

Space curtain technology is familiar to every Xinhuo captain who has received an orthodox education. This is a very common low-level space technology in various star sea civilizations.

The Broken Star Sea is vast and has given birth to countless civilizations, and most technological civilizations that have stepped out of the floating continent can generally control this technology.

  Why is it said that it is a low-level space technology? Because it is called space technology. In fact, it is to use special means to block and isolate a space to form a sealed space.

However, this type of space cannot be reduced, enlarged, or moved. The key is that laying out this kind of space curtain requires a large amount of valuable materials, which is very useless.

Generally speaking, this technology is usually used to cover up some special rare objects that are still in the gestation stage, or hidden bases, laboratories, etc. In short, the practicality is not high.

Song Chi's mind turned. Now that he knew it was a space curtain technology, it meant that there was a completely enclosed space inside this huge stone. It seemed that the ruins Shen Qing mentioned before were in this enclosed space.

 “Just go straight in!”

Song Chi did not agree with Shen Qing's words. Even though he had entered this closed space last time and was not in danger, that was nearly half a year ago after all. Who can say what will happen half a year later? It must be safe inside today?

Opening the cabin of the Cangqiong, Song Chi released a Hornet-class drone. At the same time, he activated the [Brainwave Remote Control System] component and marked a brainwave beacon on the Hornet-class drone. Then he Two completely different visions appeared in front of him, one was himself, and the other was the perspective of the Hornet-class drone.

Turning his attention to the Hornet-class drone, he began to remotely control the drone to fly towards the side of the boulder.

　　Boo!

Soon, the speeding drone sank into the space curtain and completely disappeared from the outside world.

At the same time, the view on one side of Song Chi also changed, from a sky full of yellow sand to a lonely space with a length and width of more than several kilometers.

This space is huge, but there is nothing else but boundless darkness.

 Obviously, Song Chi's worries are somewhat unnecessary. There are no other dangers behind the space curtain.
