The black hole itself is just a celestial body with extremely large mass and extremely strong gravity, so strong that even light cannot escape.
And it is also because of this huge mass that time and space will be distorted.
A normal black hole begins to collapse toward the center after the star dies.
When all the core is converted into neutrons, it becomes a neutron star.
But if it becomes a neutron and does not stop collapsing, a black hole will be formed.
After a star the size of a normal sun collapses into a black hole, the physical part is only a few kilometers in size. It can be seen that the mass is compressed to the extreme.
It is precisely because of this that there is a gravitational force that is so strong that even light cannot escape.
The black hole in the center of the Milky Way is formed after the collapse of a mass equivalent to two million stars.
As the saying goes, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. The black hole formed by the collapse of the mass of two million stars will naturally distort space to some extreme.
Plus some high-dimensional features.
It even triggered a natural space jump.
"Speaking of which, was what we passed through just now a white hole? Are we still in the original universe now?" Lu Yao observed the white light getting farther and farther behind him, and then looked at the pitch black in front of him again.
The opposite of a black hole is a white hole, except that a black hole absorbs matter, while a white hole ejects matter.
Theoretically, a white hole is an inverted black hole. Matter that enters a black hole will eventually be ejected from the white hole to maintain a balance in the universe.
There is a theory that black holes and white holes should exist in different universes. The matter absorbed by the black hole from this universe will be ejected by the white hole from another universe.
But in fact, as far as the black holes in the galactic center are concerned, they have not traveled through the universe, but only through the Milky Way.
"We are still in the original universe, but our location has changed. This should be another river system, but we don't know how far away it is from the Milky Way." Lin Xu answered Lu Yao's doubts.
At the same time, the Skylark has also rushed out of the black hole in the center of the river system at a thousand times the speed of light.
Theoretically, a black hole swallows everything, but as long as the speed is fast enough, it is not impossible to escape.
"Another river system? Is this where humans came back then?" Mu Xiyue looked out the window with longing.
"Probably." Lin Xu also sounded a little uncertain.
"Look, look, there is no disorder and filth outside, we have really reached another river system." Nan Zhu suddenly pointed out the window in surprise and shouted.
Everyone looked carefully and realized that as they rushed out of the black hole in the center of the river system, the scene outside also came into view.
It is no longer shrouded in a dense black curtain, enveloping the disorder and filth in the center of the entire galaxy, but has become a scene of a normal center of the galaxy where a large number of stars gather.
The center of a normal galaxy should be composed of the central black hole and densely packed stars gradually outward.
"The density of stars here is so high." Lu Yao sighed.
"Near the center of a normal galaxy, the density of stars can reach hundreds of thousands per light-year." Mu Xiyue replied.
"With so many massive stars, it's no wonder that the disorder and filth in the galactic center can swallow up order and grow to such an extent." Lu Yao sighed with emotion.
"It seems that this river system is not bad. So far, no disorder and filth have been found." Lin Xu, who always has a high-dimensional perspective, has seen more than a few people.
"Isn't it a relatively primitive galaxy that has not yet developed advanced civilization? I don't believe that if there are advanced civilizations, they will not use chaotic energy, unless the center of the river system here does not produce chaotic energy." Nan Zhu doubted.
"There are also high-dimensional weak points here, so in theory it is possible to mine chaos energy, and I have already seen facilities that are mining chaos energy." Lin Xu's face changed and he said in a complicated tone.
"Did you see it? Where is it? Can I take a look too?" Nan Zhu asked.
"Not far ahead." Lin Xu replied.
At the same time, the portable space is directly opened.
Suddenly, the space around the Skylark fluctuated, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out of the space, and then flew in all directions.
Lin Xu's high-dimensional perspective actually couldn't see too far away. He could see that Chaos Energy was being mined because it was close enough.
So he needs a self-disciplined mechanical aggregate to investigate further away.
Since as soon as we left the center of the river system, we saw facilities for mining chaotic energy, then it is no surprise that there will be facilities in other places as well.
And soon, the Skylark arrived near the facility where chaos energy was being mined.
Nan Zhu lay on the porthole, eyes wide open, looking at everything outside the window.
I saw a star floating alone in the universe.
Considering the density of stars here, it is normal for there to be no planets around the stars.
And around this star, there are a large number of various industrial facilities.
Several stellar rings surround the star, and a large number of various instruments are aimed at the star, constantly impacting the star with various energies.
More importantly, part of this energy seems to be collected from stars.
It's almost like a star impinging on itself.
"Is this collecting chaotic energy?" Mu Xiyue murmured to herself.
Everyone present saw the scene of collecting chaotic energy for the first time.
I saw a large number of various spaceships sailing back and forth around the ship. It was like a large-scale interstellar factory, with various transport ships coming in and out.
Law enforcement ships can also be seen around to maintain order.
So when the Skylark appeared here, it couldn't even attract anyone's attention.
Because there are so many large and small spaceships, even if the construction style of the Skylark looks different from the civilization that is exploiting chaotic energy, the styles of the various types of spaceships here are not uniform.
It looks like it comes from all kinds of strange civilizations.
So Lin Xu simply parked the Skylark here and watched it openly.
It wasn't until a moment later that a law enforcement ship spotted the spacecraft parked on the side of the road and flew over to inquire about the situation.
Looking at the questioning voice sent from the other side and listening to the slightly accented Chinese, Lin Xu was a little confused.
Well, Chinese is really the universal language of the universe, right?
However, Lin Xu also confirmed that humans had indeed visited this river system back then.
Although it is not clear what is left in this river system.
But at least it shows that he followed the footsteps of humans and didn't go astray. That's good, that's good.
"The spacecraft ahead, is there a malfunction? Repeat, the spacecraft ahead, is there a malfunction? We can help repair it." The law enforcement ship's inquiry sounded in the cockpit.
"The fault has been eliminated, thank you for your help." Lin Xu replied immediately.
"Enter the channel immediately, prepare to enter the port, do not stay by the channel. Repeat, prepare to enter the port, do not stay by the channel." The law enforcement ship sent the message again.
"Understood." Lin Xu replied.
"Do we really want to go in?" Nan Zhu on the side looked like he was asking, but he couldn't hide the eagerness in his tone.
"Let's go in and take a look. We don't know anything about this river system now, so we might be able to get some information." Lin Xu decided.
Then, under the guidance of the law enforcement ship, the Skylark joined the torrent of spacecraft entering the port.
Some of these large and small spaceships are about a hundred meters in size like the Skylark, while some are transport ships a thousand meters long, and some are even ten thousand meters long.
For a moment, it was like a fleet of ships queuing up to pass through the lock.
At the same time, Lin Xu quietly opened the portable space, and a large number of nanorobots began to be released, sneaking into various surrounding spacecraft to collect information.
Some even sneaked into the port ahead.
Soon, it became clear what these spaceships were for.
In fact, they are ordinary cargo ships. Some are loaded with various industrial equipment, and some are just ordinary daily necessities.
Others are passenger spacecraft, and even some are for business.
It turns out that this huge factory that mines chaotic energy is also a huge settlement.
Think about it, such a large factory must require a lot of people to maintain daily operations.
Then it is normal to need all kinds of daily necessities.
Soon, it was the Skylark's turn to pass the customs.
With so many spaceships, it is naturally impossible for people to inspect every spacecraft. Instead, robots are responsible for detecting whether there are contraband in the spacecraft.
The first is the large external sensor, and the second is the robot detection inside the spacecraft.
These are naturally easy for the Skylark to deal with. Lin Xu didn't know if there were anything contraband in the Skylark compared to this civilization.
So be conservative and let the nanorobots sneak into the machine during the inspection, blocking the signal alarm device, and then easily passed the test.
As for electronic passes and the like, they are also copied from nearby spaceships through nanorobots.
At the same time, the nanorobot enters the fake pass information into the checkpoint's computer system, and the pass is passed safely.
The Skylark just sneaked into this factory that mines chaos energy.
Of course, we just entered the port living area.
Following the guidance signal, we arrived at a certain part of the star ring surrounding the star and slowly stopped.
The huge city located on the star ring immediately appeared in the eyes of several people.
"It still looks very prosperous, Mr. Lin Xu, do we want to go shopping?" Nan Zhu immediately became eager to try.
"Okay, let's go. I've been nervous for so long, so I think it's time to relax." Lin Xu stretched and stood up.
"Yeah, let's go shopping." Nan Zhu cheered, hugged one of Lin Xu's arms, and walked out.
Lu Yao, who was still doing the questions, was a little hesitant. She was reluctant to give up the big question in front of her, but also wanted to see this city of unknown civilization.
"Let's go together. Don't hold it in here all the time. Maybe we can take a break and it will be more helpful to study the questions." Mu Xiyue directly pulled Lu Yao up.
Miss Qiu also took the initiative to follow Lin Xu.
In this way, the five people left the Skylark and came to the port.
On the bustling port, there are all kinds of strange races, but generally speaking, mammals that walk upright are the most numerous.
Because only creatures in this form have the greatest possibility of evolving into intelligent life.
And Lin Xu and the others do not appear to be unique among these strange creatures. Even Nan Zhu, who has fox ears and fox tail, can shake his big tail openly without attracting anyone. s concern.
Well, it's not that they didn't attract attention, but the reason for attracting attention was not because of their racial characteristics, but because of their personal characteristics.
For example, the appearance of several people, even in the eyes of aliens, is still very beautiful.
After all, they are all mammals that walk upright, and their appearance is not very different from humans, so they naturally have similar aesthetics.
Just like when we watch Avatar and ET, it’s clear which one is better.
Of course, they are not the same race after all, so at most they just think it looks more pleasing to the eye, just like although we think Avatar is better looking, we will never react to Avatar.
Well, except for certain special groups, which are no longer considered.
Walking on the streets of the airport, there are tall buildings in all directions. The sky is wrapped by a membrane, which filters out part of the starlight and shines in the huge airport.
Nan Zhu pulled Lin Xu with interest in her eyes.
Miss Qiu, who was following behind, was as quiet as ever.
Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao also looked at everything around them curiously.
While Lin Xu was shopping, he did not forget to receive the information sent back by the autonomous mechanical aggregates that were exploring in all directions through the nanorobots spreading around.
At the same time, the space around you opens up, and nanobots are scattered wherever you go.
This is already considered a habit of Lin Xu.
No, it's not just Lin Xu's habit, Mu Xiyue, Nan Zhu and even Lu Yao are also spreading nanobots in all directions through their respective personal spaces.
For some people, being in an environment without nanorobots always makes them feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable and insecure.
So wherever you go, if you see a place without nanobots, always spread some.
Anyway, nanorobots can self-replicate. For them, there is an endless supply. As long as they are dispersed, they can replenish themselves in the portable space. So even if they are dispersed, they will not be used in the end, and they don't care at all. .
However, just as a few people were happily visiting the airport of an unknown civilization, they were also collecting information about this unknown civilization.
Suddenly, a siren sounded in the airport.
A large number of small machines took off in the airport, patrolling back and forth.
At the same time, the announcement also rang.
"Warning, warning, traces of Devouring Particles have been found, and it is suspected that Devourers have sneaked into the port. Please keep calm and cooperate with the guards in the search."
"People in the port are asked to remain calm and cooperate with the security guards' search efforts."
The announcement was accompanied by commotion throughout the port.
The crowd of people who were originally very calm around Lin Xu suddenly became uneasy when they heard about Devouring Particles and Devourers.
"The Devourer? Has the Devourer infiltrated this place?"
"The damn port administration, are they all a bunch of shit? This can all be infiltrated."
"No, I have to leave quickly. My cargo is still on the ship in case it is eaten by the Devourer."
"Go home, I want to go home, my daughter is still waiting for me, I can't die here."
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have come here to transport this cargo."
Some people even ran away towards the port, obviously preparing to escape back to the ship.
But before he could take a few steps, a laser beam was fired from the patrolling small machine in the sky, hitting the floor directly in front of the man, melting the ground into a big crater.
"Warning, warning, please keep calm for those in the port, otherwise you will be treated as an accomplice of the Devourer."
Suddenly, those who had planned to run back to the port did not dare to move and could only stay where they were.
But the loud curses were always heard.
The small patrol machines don't care what you say, as long as you don't run away, they will ignore you.
"Lord Lin Xu, what are Devouring Particles? What are Devourers? Have we encountered a wanted criminal?" Nan Zhu held Lin Xu's arm and looked at the small patrol machinery in the sky, curious and eager to try. look.
It seems like I want to grab one to study at any time.
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Lin Xu shrugged, but still looked around, his eyes falling on someone who looked like a tour guide.
"Find someone to ask." With that said, Lin Xu walked over like that person.
When Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao saw Lin Xu moving, they naturally followed Lin Xu there.
The small machines patrolling the sky do not care about such small-scale movements. They do not require everyone to remain motionless, but they are not required to make actions that can easily cause disturbances, such as running.
"Brother, I want to ask something." Lin Xu waved.
That person's race is 80-90% similar in appearance to humans, except that some joints on his body are slightly different from humans, and his hair is naturally thinner than humans.
It can be considered a naturally Mediterranean race.
When he saw Lin Xu saying hello, Tian Tiantian frowned.
"Are you from our tour group?"
"No." Lin Xu shook his head.
The man looked at the several beauties following Lin Xu again, and his mood suddenly became even worse.
The appearance is 80% to 90% similar to that of humans, and the aesthetics are quite different.
"Oh, then I have no obligation to answer you." Tiansheng Mediterranean turned his head and ignored Lin Xu.
So when encountering this situation, Lin Xu had no choice but to use his cash withdrawal ability.
I saw him reaching out and taking out a banknote from his body, and handed it directly to Tiansheng Mediterranean.
Of course, he used nanorobots to copy the banknotes, and he had as many as he wanted, so he directly copied the one with the largest denomination.
And the tour guide who was unwilling to answer Lin Xu's question just now, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He took the money and put it directly into his pocket.
"If you don't understand something, just ask, boss."
In the interstellar age, especially among groups who need to travel far, physical currency has replaced electronic payment and revived.
The main reason is that the universe is so big that even digital currency that does not require the Internet is not as popular as banknotes among voyagers.
Because where they are going, some are even so backward that they don’t have electronic devices capable of storing digital currency.
This has resulted in a trend of parallelism between physical currency and electronic currency.
"I want to ask, what's going on?" Lin Xu asked, pointing to the small machine still patrolling back and forth above his head.
"What's going on? We're just trying to capture the Devourer." Tiansheng Mediterranean looked confused, as if he was saying a matter of course.
"What is the Devourer?" Lin Xu asked.
"What is the Devourer? Boss, you don't even know about the Devourer?" Tiansheng Mediterranean's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Lin Xu, as if he was looking at a primitive man.
"Should I know?" Lin Xu said, throwing out another large-denomination note.
"It's normal for the boss not to know! After all, who would be a normal person to pay attention to the Devourer, right? Hahaha." Tiansheng Mediterranean looked around carefully, kicked the money into his arms, and slapped Hahaha.
If you have money, you are the biggest. As long as you give money, you can do whatever you say.
"Okay, let's quickly tell you what a Devourer is." Lin Xu asked.
"Has the boss just joined the alliance not long ago, so he doesn't know much about the alliance's wanted devourers?" Mediterranean Help Lin Xu wondered.
"Yes." Lin Xu nodded.
"That's it. Let me tell you, these so-called Devourers were once a member of the Alliance, but at that time they hid their true identity and lurked in the Alliance."
"It wasn't until their true colors were revealed later that everyone knew their purpose. It was terrifying. It was really terrifying."
Lin Xu did not interrupt him, but waited for him to continue.
"It turns out that this Devourer can control a special particle in the universe called Devouring Particles. This Devouring Particle will continuously devour all matter in the universe and copy the matter into the Devouring Particle itself."
"Think about how terrible this is."
"Swallow matter and copy yourself?" Why did Lin Xu feel so familiar when he heard this?
When he first heard about swallowing particles, he thought it might be related to disordered filth.
But now, the more I listen to it, the less it seems like it.
Although disorder and filth can also assimilate order into disorder, I have never heard of any intelligent life that can control disorder and filth.
Wouldn't it be true that the only ones that fit this statement are nanorobots?
"Is this scary?" Lin Xu didn't understand.
"Think about it, if they are allowed to devour and copy like this, sooner or later, all the matter in the entire universe will turn into these swallowing particles? Isn't that scary?" The natural Mediterranean tour guide said this with a smile on his face. They all showed an inexplicable look of fear.
It can be seen how much mental trauma this so-called Devourer and Devouring Particles caused him.
Of course, this does not necessarily mean that he has encountered it personally, but in this era, even if he has not encountered it, it is still very simple to watch a few videos or even experience it in virtual reality.
I just don’t know what scenes he has experienced.
Lin Xu and the girls also looked at each other in confusion and finally understood.
They are the devourers of feelings that have sneaked into the port.
Especially in the portable space of several people, nano-robots are still being released.
He is so unscrupulous and must not be discovered!
At this time, the crowd that had gathered on the street slowly dispersed.
No one caused chaos, so everyone left slowly, and the patrolling small machines naturally ignored them.
The Mediterranean tour guide is also preparing to take his tour group members back to the hotel.
This kind of thing has happened. Who still wants to continue playing? It is safer to go back to the hotel quickly.
Lin Xu thought for a while, then took out a whole wad of bills and handed them to the Mediterranean tour guide.
The tour guide’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked like he was willing to go to hell for Lin Xu.
"What do you think of us joining your tour group temporarily?" Lin Xu asked.
"Join temporarily? Now? No problem, of course no problem. But, are we going back to the hotel now?"
"It's okay, just give us a few more rooms in the hotel." Lin Xu replied.
Although he was wanted by the port, he didn't want to leave just yet.
Regarding the so-called alliance, there are also Devourers, and Devouring Particles.
Lin Xu needs more information.
