Chapter 1090 Crystal Gap

"The flare was successfully launched."

"The radar signal was strongly interfered with, and all targets were deformed."

"The air defense self-check is complete, and it can be fired at any time."

"The gravitational wave is abnormal, and the vibration is coming."

After An Yun finished speaking, the bridge of the Swan shook violently, and the surrounding meteorites seemed to be attracted by the huge gravitational force. As the gravitational wave swept by, they slowly floated upwards.

"Visually confirmed that the space rift has been formed, and a large number of unknown signals have appeared."

Holding the device on his temple, An Yun's eyes lit up with psychic light.

"What is that? There is no will at all, just like..."

"Natural phenomenon."

Alyssa said:

"Should we find a reliable god to worship recently? What's the matter with luck?"

Villania actually wanted to say that you can go directly to worship Li Chengxi, but considering that Emma and Sun Lin were still sitting on the bridge, she swallowed the words back.

And speaking of these two people, they also saw the huge diamond-shaped curtain with purple flashes through the bridge, and they couldn't help but stand up and look around.

"Is that a crystal gap? Are crystal life forms coming?"

Alyssa sighed:

"It's very unfortunate. You're right. It's lucky to encounter a one in a hundred billion chance."

At this time, Vilania said:

"It's confirmed that the lionfish is approaching and is returning."

"Let Hall, who is in charge of the alert, come back. We need to run away immediately and don't have time to care about the warships of the Star Cluster Alliance."

In fact, the warships of the Star Cluster Alliance were also turning around at full speed, and they were even too lazy to chase the Swan under the meteorite belt.

"Lionfish confirmed to be recovered."

Almost at the same time, Li Chengxi's voice appeared on the bridge:

"What the hell is that? There are a lot of signals on the radar, damn, it's almost covering the radar!"

"That's a crystal life form. If you are curious, come back and talk about it. Now we have to run away immediately."

Alyssa immediately ordered:

"Turn the ship and fly towards the direction of the star. Ignore the meteorites blocking the way. Pull the shield strength to the highest level and we will rush through!"

Crystallized life forms, this special thing has a certain kinship with crystal people and silicon crystal people in terms of structure, but this kinship is like that between humans and pigs.

Although the genetic similarity between humans and pigs is as high as 99%, you can't say that the two are the same thing, right?

This crystal life form is known as the cosmic locust plague. They cannot communicate, have no consciousness, and any psychic exploration will not produce any results.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the crystal life form will chase the creature, and they have no other reaction.

However, the threat of crystal life forms to the planet is very low. Their crystal bodies cannot resist the heat barrier caused by air friction. Basically, they will burn before falling to the ground. Even if they occasionally fall to the ground, they will turn into real stones in a short time and no longer be life forms.

In the void environment, once a ship encounters them, it will be a catastrophe.

Just like the assimilation ability of crystal people, crystal life forms have similar abilities. They will chase life signals and crash into spacecraft. Once they break through the shield and hit the steel shell of the ship, they will immediately start assimilation.

The assimilated part is not just as simple as losing control, but will continue to spread in other directions, and can turn a warship into a crystal block floating in the void in a blink of an eye.

Naturally, the people inside will not have a good time. It is said that after being crystallized, even the soul will be permanently sealed, which is eternal torture.

The origin of crystal life forms is a mystery. Some say they come from an undiscovered star field, and some say they come from another world. Regardless of where they come from, this thing is not a recent appearance.

As early as the ancient elves, there was a powerful crystal magic. It is said that it is the forbidden technique developed by the elves with reference to the crystal life form.

Crystal life forms will appear with space cracks. This crack is rhombus-shaped, of different sizes, and will emit strong purple light. Because of its obvious characteristics, it is also called the crystal gap.

The good news is that as long as there is a way to close the crack, the crystal life form that emerges from the crack will disappear immediately.

The bad news is that no matter whether it is the Swan or the three warships of the Star Cluster Alliance, there is no means to close the crack, which requires special equipment.

The probability of encountering a crack during normal navigation is one in a billion, as Alyssa said.

Who would spend a lot of money to buy a special device that is only used with a one in a billion probability?

Is there a hole in your brain?

But when you encounter it, you can only run away, run away quickly, don't think about rushing in, unless it is a fully-organized fleet, otherwise no matter how many ships there are, they will be swallowed by the crystal life form.

In order to get away as soon as possible, the Swan didn't care about avoiding the meteorite and went straight over it.

The three warships on the other side of the asteroid belt also managed to turn around at this moment, as if someone had farted between the two sides, and they all ran away with their backs to each other, running as far as they could.

Because when the space rift appears, the jump and pulse flight will be greatly disturbed, so they can only rely on conventional power to get as far away from the place where the rift opens as possible, and when the distance is far enough, they can jump and run away.

After rushing out of the asteroid belt, Alyssa immediately ordered the Swan to sail at full speed. Although it was faster to use overspeed, it had been used once just now. If the reactor was overloaded and melted, it would be really finished.

The location of the Swan actually had some advantages. It was relatively close to the star and was moving in the direction of the star. The glass in the bridge automatically adjusted to the shading mode to prevent excessive starlight from causing blindness to the people in the bridge.

The appearance of the crystal life form is a standard hexagonal or quadrangular structure. They are very fast, and it is still unclear what principle they rely on to propel in the void.

But according to the folk method passed down by word of mouth, it is said that the crystal life form is afraid of light, so flying in the direction of the star away from the space rift is the best way to get out.

"The UFO has entered the anti-aircraft firepower range."

"Anti-aircraft guns fire!"

"All shield generators are activated. Never let a crystal life form get close, otherwise the Swan will be finished."

The purple-red crystals passed through the asteroid belt like a huge tsunami, just like a huge wave trying to swallow the Swan.

This is the source of the dense signals on the radar. The number is meaningless and cannot be counted.

The anti-aircraft gun controlled by Long opened fire immediately, but as mentioned before, the machine soul of the anti-aircraft gun is artificial idiocy. If a small number of space fighters approach the Swan, they will be destroyed, but when such a large number of targets approach, it is difficult for the firepower of the anti-aircraft gun to maximize its efficiency.

"Turn on the searchlight!"

While operating, Alyssa said to others:

"Shoot out the signal flares, flares, and everything that can emit light!"

I hope the folk remedy passed down by word of mouth will be effective, otherwise the Swan, which has not yet accelerated to the maximum ship speed, will really not be able to get rid of these crystal life forms.
