Wang Jiacheng's eyes lit up when he thought of this. Signal transmitter. Isn't there a signal transmitter on the Padra crystal he just captured?
We can reverse engineer it and figure out its operating mechanism. In addition, if we already know the encryption key, we may be able to allow the Kaiwu to receive Junker Adam's position information about the Holy Emperor.
Wang Jiacheng was overjoyed, connected to the communicator of Science Officer Zhu Zhen, and told him his thoughts.
Zhu Zhen said angrily: "Chairman, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for neglecting this matter. Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away!"
Wang Jiacheng did not blame him. The original plan was to capture the Padra crystal and leave the cosmic sea immediately. It would not be too late to study the mysterious signal transmitter slowly after returning.
No one expected that Junker Adam would suddenly escape from the Object without permission, which also brought hope of finding the Holy Emperor.
Wang Jiacheng emphasized to Zhu Zhen and asked him to mobilize all the power of Kaiwuhao and strive to understand the signal transmitter as quickly as possible.
The group left the hangar and returned to the bridge room of the Kaiwu.
"Radar man, have you found the Homecoming? Now it has jumped at least hundreds of thousands of light-years, and needs to return to normal space to cool down the hyperlight engine."
This is the 18th time Hu Lan has asked. He really wants to find Juncker Adam and take revenge as soon as possible. The result was disappointing. The radar was empty and nothing was found, which made Hu Lan lose his temper again.
Wang Jiacheng and Su Pu looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. If no accident had happened, they would have discovered the traces of the Homecoming.
At this moment, Zhu Zhen came back, with a strange look on his face, and said: "Chairman, the principle of the signal transmitter is very common, similar to what we have now. This time the Kaiwu No. failed to receive the position information sent by the Holy Emperor Star. Because there are two sets of encryption keys, one of which is the same as what we know, and the other cannot be cracked for the time being. The information sent by the Holy Emperor Star should use another set of encryption keys, so we cannot receive the information."
Su Pu sighed and said: "Hey, this is troublesome, we can't know the specific location of the Holy Emperor Star!"
Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said: "This is not necessarily true. According to our reverse research, these two sets of encryption keys work alternately. This time we are unknown, so next time it may be the encryption key provided by Juncker Adam. By then , Kaiwuhao can receive the information and decode the location of the Holy Emperor Star."
Hu Lan said unhappily: "It's damning, we have to wait a month to catch the old guy!"
Wang Jiacheng was in a dilemma again. The surrounding environment is full of dangers. The Kaiwu No. will have to wait here for a month. Who knows if they are still alive? If they leave here and return to the cosmic sea, and encounter dangers such as the black hole crisis, the Kaiwu No. will not necessarily be able to escape; Neither leaving nor staying is a good choice.
What's more, if the signal transmitter on the Holy Emperor Star is different from the one they got, then they will never be able to know the location of the Holy Emperor Star through the signal transmitter.
"We have to rely on ourselves!" Wang Jiacheng thought secretly. Seeing that Zhu Zhen's strange look had not disappeared, he asked: "Zhu Zhen, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said in an uncertain tone: "According to the research of our scientific team, the signal transmitter on the Padra crystal was manufactured 1 million years ago and was installed 1 million years ago. This... This is completely unreasonable, and if so, how did Junker Adam know its encryption key."
Hu Lan said matter-of-factly: "This is not simple. Junker Adam is the descendant of those people who lived one million years ago. His ancestors told him the encryption key!"
Su Pu retorted: "This is impossible. History records that the Holy Emperor Star finally disappeared behind the cosmic sea, and no one left on it. This can also be found in the autobiographies of the two last princes of the Molova Empire and the memoirs of the Saxon Kingdom's participating officers. , find supporting evidence.”
Hu Lan didn't like reading and had never read what Su Pu said. He said harshly: "Are everything in the book true? What if they lie?"
After Wang Jiacheng heard Zhu Zhen's words, his first feeling was that the scientific team had made a mistake. Based on what Su Pu said, no one came out of the Holy Emperor Star.
But what Hu Lan said just now opened up another idea for him. What if the information about the treasures of the Molova Empire that is now recognized by the exploration community is false or incomplete?
Assume that someone once came out of the Holy Emperor Planet, and they left the signal transmitter on it, and later gave the encryption key to their descendants. That way their descendants can know the location of the Holy Emperor Star in advance. Junker Adam may be the descendant of those people. This explains the origin of the signal transmitter.
It was certainly not easy for those people to come out, and a war even broke out. During the war, powerful weapons attacked the surface of the Holy Emperor, shattering some Padra crystal blocks and ejecting them into space, where they were found by later explorers. . . .
Suddenly, Wang Jiacheng was shocked by his hypothesis, which could explain many characteristics of the Molowa treasure. For example, the earliest explorers one million years ago found many small pieces of Padra crystals here. It would be very reasonable if those crystals were left over from the battle. After all these crystals were found, there was no more harvest, and it took 530,000 years for anyone to find them again.
"530,000 years!" Wang Jiacheng blurted out, woke up from his reasoning, and asked eagerly: "Hu Lan, before you fell into coma, did you hear Robot Servant No. 2 say that the Holy Emperor is about 530,000 years away from here?"
"That's right. That's what I said. It wanted to project a holographic image to show the position of the Holy Emperor Star. It suddenly stopped, and then I was knocked unconscious! Damn it!" Hu Lan said about this, Still indignant.
"Haha, I know!" Wang Jiacheng jumped up from the command chair happily. Seeing everyone looking at him like a madman, he quickly explained.
We learned at the Exploration Guild that only a small number of Padra crystal fragments were first found here in the Morova Empire treasure. . . ; It took 530,000 years before someone suddenly made a new discovery here. After continuing for a period of time, it disappeared; 990,000 years later, Junker Adam found his piece of 0.65 times the speed of light crystal; now, nearly 1 million years later, we have captured a piece of 0.55 times the speed of light Pad Pull the crystal. That is, the Padra crystals discovered slowed down over time.
Then we can assume that these crystals were split by an explosion after the Holy Emperor Star disappeared. Due to the different speeds at which they were obtained, the time when they appeared here is very different. The fastest crystal blocks approaching the speed of light were obtained, and they flew 530,000 light-years to arrive here; the slower ones arrived belatedly, such as the one lying in our precious metal warehouse.
So we can conclude that the Holy Emperor Star is about 530,000 light years away from us, and what Hu Lan heard from the two good robot servants should be true!
"Yes, I agree with the chairman's guess. The Holy Emperor Star must be somewhere about 530,000 light-years away from us. The most likely direction is the direction of the depths of the cosmic sea where the Homecoming is flying?" Science Officer Zhu Zhen expressed support.
"Then why has no one discovered its existence in the past one million years?" Su Pu asked a very realistic question.
Wang Jiacheng thought about it and said: "This is not difficult to explain. The Padra crystal we found was not found by radar at first, but we still found it after changing the detection method. Similarly, it is impossible to use radar on the Holy Emperor Star easily. If it is in a very harsh environment, it will be even more difficult to find. We know that there is danger at any time in the Cosmic Sea and we cannot stay for a long time. The superposition of these two reasons will make it difficult to find the specific details of the Holy Emperor Star. Location!"
"What the chairman means is that we explore in the direction Juncker Adam went to the depths of the cosmic sea!" Su Pu suddenly realized.
Wang Jiacheng smiled confidently, admitting Su Pu's guess.
The radar operator who received the order began to release the most powerful energy wave in one direction, hoping to fight against various interferences in the cosmic sea and discover the legendary Holy Emperor Star.
The "Didi Didi" radar alarm meant that a discovery had been made. Everyone rushed to the holographic image and stared at the thing they had discovered in stunned silence.
It is actually a Class VII cruiser, with a speed of 0.2 times the speed of light and a distance of 0.3 million light years. There is no sign of life on it.
The Kaiwu immediately jumped to the position of the cruiser, and saw that it was in tatters, with numerous craters from meteorite impacts on its body. A large red long-tailed scorpion was painted on one side of the ship's hull, and the spikes on the scorpion's tail were very eye-catching.
Su Pu, who had always been calm, said with some excitement: "This is the battleship of the Red Thorn Legion on the Holy Emperor Star. The red long-tailed scorpion is the symbol of the Red Thorn Legion!"
Wang Jiacheng immediately ordered people to land on the battleship and downloaded some useful star map data and voyage logs from its main control optical brain.
Unfortunately, the flight log is encrypted and cannot be cracked. What is helpful is the star map on it. Everyone looked at the contents of the star map and broke into a cold sweat.
In space 210,000 light-years ahead. It is simply a wall of death composed of black holes, meteorites, and high-energy radiation areas, with no end to both sides and top and bottom!
The high-energy radiation there will seriously disrupt the detection of various detectors; black holes are dotted together, their inescapable horizons are close together, and if you are not careful, spacecrafts and battleships will fall into them; meteorites are rushing like wild beasts. , hunting any intruders.
There is only a safe passage in the middle with a diameter of more than 5,000 kilometers, crossing this 300,000 light-year-thick wall of death. Compared with the universe, which is often measured in light years, this passage is so small that it is negligible and extremely difficult to find.
This Level VII cruiser of the Red Thorn Legion drifted out along this channel, which is a miracle.
"No wonder the exploration of the Cosmic Sea is so difficult. This wall can block any explorer trying to break in. To cross it, you can only fly at super-light speed, but every time you jump 300,000 to 500,000 light years, you have to return to normal space to cool down the engine. , there is a high probability that it will fall into the wall of death at this time. The strong gravity environment inside it will destroy the stability of the opened light gate, the light gate will collapse, the ship will be destroyed, and everyone will die. If we open the thing, we will start jumping flight at this time , at most 480,000 light years, it will return to positive space to cool down the engine, just falling into the wall of death." Science murmured to Zhu Zhen.
Su Pu added: "The energy waves of the radar cannot penetrate the high-energy radiation area in the Wall of Death to detect the situation inside."
"How come that guy Juncker Adam can receive the signal sent back from the Wall of Death!" Hu Lan asked.
Zhu Zhen pointed to the 5,000-kilometer-diameter channel in the holographic image and said: "The signal came out of the channel accidentally. The signal transmitter has been working for a million years. It is sent once a month. This time it is enough." Gram. Adam was lucky enough to just receive it. Didn't you say that he also specially used the pot-lid antenna on the Homecoming to enhance the receiving ability!"
Wang Jiacheng stared at the passage, his pupils shrank, and asked: "Do you think this passage is facing the Wuyu Galaxy?"
Zhu Zhen studied for a while, gave an affirmative answer, and said with a smile: "Haha, this can also explain why the discovered Padra crystal blocks all fly in the direction of the Utopia galaxy. They all follow this channel from It’s coming out of the inside!”
"The cosmic sea is too weird. It doesn't look like it was formed according to scientific laws. Could it be that gods really exist?" Wang Jiacheng said to himself.
No one answered him, and no one knew.
Kaiwu approached the Wall of Death by 100,000 light-years, starting a space jump with a maximum distance of 480,000 light-years.
