The Cosmic Sea - a dangerous star zone in an alien world, a restricted area for ordinary intelligent creatures. It is a remote space inside, with few light sources, and it is so dark that it is difficult for the naked eye to see.
It is more than 180 million light years away from the Nowhere Galaxy, and more than 800 million light years away from the Huangquan Galaxy that exists in the cosmic sea. Two large galaxies with more than 200 billion stars themselves appear to be the size of a football and a table tennis ball.
The matter here is very thin, and the vast amounts of interstellar dust that can usually be observed in the universe can hardly be found here.
Suddenly, in this empty space, strong energy fluctuations occurred, as if something was about to tear apart time and space and come here.
"Buzz!" A faint blue light door suddenly appeared, illuminating a small area of void. A huge, brightly lit spaceship slowly sailed out from it. It was the Kaiwu salvage ship.
After crossing a distance of 0.3 light-years, Wang Jiacheng and his party finally arrived at their destination. They did not immediately discover the treasure of the Molova Empire indicated by the coordinates.
Wang Jiacheng ordered: "Radar crew, search and locate the target!"
The radar operator synchronized the latest signal data from the main control optical brain of the spacecraft, turned on the quantum radar, and searched for the location of the signal transmitter!
An invisible wave of energy spreads in all directions around the sky at countless times the speed of light. Any object that matches the characteristics of the target will be reflected back in the radar's holographic image.
Time passed by, and the radar had not responded. Everyone in the bridge room began to frown, wondering what went wrong.
"Old guy, are you causing trouble? There is nothing here!" Hu Lan asked Juncker Adam.
Juncker Adam glanced at the radar and said in an understatement: "Why did you set the speed parameter to less than 0.1 times the speed of light? This will filter out the target!"
The radar operator weakly defended: "How can the Padra crystal exceed 0.1 times the speed of light? I am doing this to improve positioning accuracy and search speed!"
Wang Jiacheng waved his hand, telling the two of them not to waste any more words, and said: "Radar officer, follow the words of senior Juncker Yaya and close it as quickly as possible!"
Seeing that everyone was confused, Junker Adam took the initiative to explain: "I just based this on my previous experience. When I found the Padra crystal, the speed exceeded 0.6 times the speed of light! If the speed of this crystal is still the same now, Of course our radar can’t lock on to it!”
Science Officer Zhu Zhen asked strangely: "Mr. Adam, why can't the signal transmitter always transmit location information?"
"I said, Zhu Zhen, you are still a scientist. Don't you understand the conservation of energy? If signals are transmitted all the time, the energy will be exhausted long ago after hundreds of thousands of years. I'm still looking for a damn treasure!" Juncker Adam Impatiently.
He didn't know why, but his temper was getting worse and worse recently, and he seemed to feel that there was some danger approaching, which made his relationship with everyone on the Kaiwuhao somewhat tense.
Wang Jiacheng noticed the details of Juncker Adam's words: 'After hundreds of thousands of years, the energy has long been exhausted! 'I wonder who Junker Adam is? Did he spend hundreds of thousands to install the signal generator?
But this is unreasonable. Not to mention that Junker Adam was not even born hundreds of thousands of years ago, but he existed at that time and was able to install a signal generator, which means that the treasure of the Molova Empire was found!
Now that the treasure has been found, why not just take it for yourself? Why install a Laozi signal generator? Isn't this just one fell swoop!
Zhu Zhen was scolded by Juncker Adam a little unjustly, but he was not angry. He is a polite scientist with high personal accomplishments, but he does not have the same hot temper as Hu Lan, who gets angry easily!
He never imagined that the history of signal generators would be so long, spanning hundreds of thousands of years.
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across his brain, and Zhu Zhen realized the huge hidden information in Junker Adam's words, and stared at Junker Adam in disbelief.
Wang Jiacheng patted Zhu Zhen on the shoulder, smiled bitterly, and said: "Don't be surprised. I think senior Junckers Asia will definitely tell us when he has the chance, otherwise we won't be able to guess it! The most important thing now is to locate the treasure and get it." Get out of here when you get to it!”
Zhu Zhen nodded, understanding that this was Junker Adam's secret again. The scientist's thirst for knowledge made him want to know the answer very much. Unfortunately, the other party was a stubborn and weird old man who was completely tight-lipped and did not reveal anything.
"Senior Juncker Ya, if the radar cannot locate the treasure, when will the signal transmitter transmit the location information again?" Wang Jiacheng asked solemnly. As a team leader, he must consider the worst-case scenario and prepare response strategies in advance.
Juncker Adam thought about it carefully and said: "Every month, it has one day to emit signals, and the other times it is in a dormant state to save energy. We sailed this time for a week, which is the same time since the last signal. The transmitter has been working for 7 days, and it will take another 23 days to receive its new location information?"
This is not good news. 23 days can pass leisurely elsewhere in the universe. The dark universe is like a vast black curtain that fills the sky and the earth. On top of this black curtain, the stars are like beautiful gems dotted on it. Looking around, they are shining and starry. You will sincerely praise: "The starry sky is so beautiful!"
But in the cosmic sea, all that is a luxury. Through the port window of the Kaiwu, all Wang Jiacheng saw was gray and dim. Hidden in that unknown darkness is not beauty and hope, but more likely disaster and destruction.
At this space node, the brightness of Wuyou Galaxy and Yanhuang Galaxy, the two nearest river systems, are very low. Their brightness is like a crescent moon hiding in thin clouds in dark weather.
Wang Jiacheng knew that if the Kaiwu continued to move forward, the brightness of the Yanhuang Galaxy would increase and become brighter and brighter, but he had no intention of continuing deep into the cosmic sea on this expedition. 180 million light-years is the limit of his plan. This star field is also the main area where many explorers in history discovered Padra crystals.
If the Holy Emperor Star, the treasure core of the Morova Empire, is somewhere in the cosmic sea, this star field is the most likely place. Many Padra crystals on it fell down due to unknown reasons and flew in all directions. They were encountered and discovered by lucky explorers, becoming a glory in their adventures!
Of course, this is also a vast airspace. Wang Jiacheng estimates that it is a spherical area with a radius of 300,000 to 500,000 light-years. It is impossible to explore it completely and quickly. We can only delineate a very small area and focus on searching.
Because as time goes by, you will encounter inexplicable risks in the cosmic sea, and it is impossible to carefully explore every area. Otherwise, the Holy Emperor Star would not have been found for a million years.
Su Pu noticed Wang Jiacheng's worried look and asked, "Chairman, are you worried that something will happen?"
Before Wang Jiacheng could answer, Juncker Adam rushed to say: "Chairman, you are unfounded! Believe me, the radar can definitely lock on to that Padra crystal!"
After adjusting the parameters, the radar once again sent out energy waves. It was as if the God of the Universe was deliberately playing a joke on everyone. After a while, the holographic image of the radar was still empty and no target was found.
Wang Jiacheng began to worry. He tried his best to suppress his true feelings and try not to show them on his face, so as not to affect the emotions of ordinary crew members.
The atmosphere in the bridge room of the Kaiwu gradually became dull. Although everyone said nothing, the same thoughts as Wang Jiacheng slowly emerged in their hearts: "Did we fail?"
Time flies by, and every second represents the energy wave of the photon radar spanning millions or even tens of millions of kilometers, exploring in all directions at a speed exceeding countless times the speed of light.
At the same time, a small amount of high-speed dust particles in the cosmic sea hit the Kaiwu's protective shield in waves. In this process, a large number of X-rays are excited. Along with the X-rays, there is also light in the visible light band, showing a light pink color.
The light of the light blue protective cover on the Kaiwu salvage ship is obscured by it. From a distance, it looks like the Kaiwu spacecraft has turned pink, illuminating the surrounding dim space, which is very beautiful.
Wang Jiacheng was speechless when he saw this scene accidentally. I thought: "The pink spaceship is too funny. If fellow explorers see it, they will definitely laugh at us! Unfortunately, although the spaceship is pink, there are no beautiful beauties here. Some Just a bunch of anxious men!”
Science Officer Zhu Zhen also noticed this phenomenon, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he said loudly: "Can we use resource detectors to capture these dust particles and see if they have the molecular components of Padra crystal? Then? Based on the speed and angle of the dust, we can determine its origin and then trace the specific location of the large Padra crystal!"
Su Pu was the person in charge of the resource detector. After hearing Zhu Zhen's words, he looked towards Wang Jiacheng to ask for his opinion. Wang Jiacheng nodded, agreeing with Zhu Zhen's method.
Wang Jiacheng is not a scientist, and he doesn't quite understand the proposal of the scientific officer Zhu Zhen, but he trusts the other party, and these are enough.
The radar operator came out at the right time and answered the chairman's questions.
It turns out that when the radar explores in all directions at the same time, the energy of every tiny waveform will weaken. If there are a large number of high-speed dust particles in space, the waveform will be completely destroyed and turned into a meaningless messy signal. When it is fed back to the radar, it will be recognized that there is none.
The results came out quickly. The material collected by the resource detector showed that it contained one hundred thousandth of the component Padra.
Zhu Zhen said excitedly: "Chairman, this represents the source of the dust. It is more likely that there is a Padra crystal, which is the location of the Molova Empire treasure where Mr. Adam's signal generator is located!"
