The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1916 The Threat of Black Hole

At that time, Chiba Makoto speculated whether Ligardron would be a role similar to a vanguard, exploring the way for "Sphia". After all, the universe is so big and continues to expand. Although there are many galaxies, on the scale of the universe, it is equivalent to placing an island randomly in the Pacific Ocean. If the exact location is unknown, the probability of encountering this island is even lower than winning five million.

Not to mention that the cosmic environment is complex and most celestial bodies do not emit light and are basically integrated into the cosmic background. If you encounter a wandering planet, it would be fine, as you can always find it if you get close. But if you encounter a wandering black hole, you will really crash into it and die without knowing how you died.

Perhaps Sphia is not afraid of black holes, but running blindly is not as efficient as finding out the situation first. Even humans know that there must be scouts ahead of the army to conduct reconnaissance, not to mention Sphia who has shown considerable intelligence.

However, there were no more clues and evidence at the time, and the dark crisis in Gatanjea was approaching, so they had to put it on hold and consider and solve the imminent crisis first.

I never expected that Banderas, a completely unrelated sun beast, would have the same biological reaction as Ligarderon, and that they were produced in the same "factory".

If only one Ligadelon came to the solar system, it could be considered a coincidence, but now two have appeared, and both are conscious beings that come to the solar system, then fuse the matter in the solar system to obtain bodies that can move, and then begin to absorb energy.

Ligaderon is fused with Jeepta-3 to absorb high-purity energy, while Sun Beast Banderas is fused with strange stones to absorb negative energy from humans.

This is really an extraordinary coincidence.

TPC Intelligence Bureau, Third Archives Room!

Declassified files: Jupiter probe - Jeep 3!
Deciphered by: Megumi Iruma!
After this series of words flashed across the screen, the conveyor belt inside the thick-shelled row cabinet started up, and then, like a vending machine, it "spit out" a tape. Then, a mechanical arm that was not connected to any electronic equipment and had to be manually driven sent it into the playback port, and then the tape player, which was basically no longer available on the market, started to operate and read the tape.

Although the world today is technologically advanced and technologically updated, there is a saying that goes, "Your uncle will always be your uncle."

As the originator of data storage, although magnetic tapes have long been eliminated by the market and disappeared from thousands of households, they still shine in the field of data storage.

Whether it is a solid-state drive or a mechanical hard drive, they cannot challenge the leading position of tapes in the field of data storage and backup. Even within TPC, most of the data used to store and back up data, especially those that may not be moved for years, are stored on tapes.

The reason is simple. The cost of tapes is extremely low, to an outrageous degree. Secondly, they do not have complicated components and have a very simple structure, so they are not vulnerable to damage from computer viruses and malicious software. In addition, they can be stored for a long time. The DJ1997 series tapes currently used by the TPC Intelligence Bureau are designed to have a service life of up to seventy years.

In the face of this series of advantages, the few disadvantages seem insignificant.

So, this row cabinet in front of him, which looked extremely high-end, sophisticated, and full of science fiction, spit out a tape after the triple verification of fingerprints, pupils, and face. The surprise it brought to Chiba Makoto was no less than seeing a pancake stall in a palace-style luxury restaurant.

After learning about the advantages of magnetic tapes while waiting, Chiba Makoto couldn't help but sigh that nothing is waste, it just depends on whether it is placed in the right place. Even a piece of paper will become irreplaceable when placed in the toilet.

Soon, the tape starts reading:
The distorted background was like a bowl of ink poured onto a piece of white paper, and then it surged back and forth like water. It looked very strange. The sound coming from the speaker was sometimes high, sometimes low, and sometimes low. The tone changed between harsh and soft, and it sounded hoarse as if the signal was bad.

“I hope someone can find the message I sent and understand our situation and what we are going through.”

Chiba Makoto, Horii and Iruma Kei watched intently the recording that should have been sealed away and would most likely never be decrypted.

This is an audio clip that Ye Rui found in the personal cloud disk of Dr. Jiang Qi at the Jeptah No. 3 shipyard after the battle to defend high-purity energy ended.

It tells the story of the adventures of the Gyptia 3 and its three astronauts, who had just entered orbit and had not had time to carry out relevant scientific experiments when a group of luminous objects rushed over and quickly approached the Gyptia 3. The speed was so fast that the astronauts of the Gyptia 3 did not have time to send out warnings or messages for help. The luminous object invaded the spacecraft, turning the spacecraft into its body and making the astronauts part of its consciousness.

According to the description left by Dr. Jiang Qi, before losing consciousness, they felt something entering their brains and causing them to gradually lose their self-awareness. It was not until Tiga used family photos and videos to awaken their consciousness that they regained their self-awareness. Before leaving Ligaderon in the form of light, Dr. Jiang Qi left these words so that the world could know about their experience.

As the audio was played repeatedly, Horii said with a serious expression: "At that time, there was speculation that the luminous body could read human memories and use human knowledge. Now it seems that this is not a special case, I am afraid."

The more Horii spoke, the more serious he became, and his brows furrowed more and more.

One Ligaderon only made everyone nervous for a while, and then they attributed it to the various special characteristics of the monsters. But now with the addition of this sun beast Banderas, I'm afraid that somewhere, there is a large or mass-produced "monster" that can control thoughts, read memories, and absorb emotions.

This is quite sensational.

The reason why human beings shine is because of their rich and colorful emotions, which, combined with memories, lead to various creations and inventions. Once emotions are taken away and memories are controlled, they will inevitably lose themselves and become puppets of others, becoming someone else from then on. Such a situation is terrifying to think about, let alone experience it personally.

The "tourists" who are still undergoing treatment have a lot to say about this. After they woke up, not all of them regretted their atrocities, but they all regretted throwing away the gold. More than one of them even asked where their gold was. Some even shouted violently, asking them to return the gold, and even threatened to sue TPC.

In short, as the number of recovered "patients" increased, the hospital became more and more chaotic, and the doctor-patient relationship was so tense that the police were dispatched to prevent violent incidents.

This shows how much the extraction of emotions can change people.

Anyway, few people want to experience it, let alone be controlled.

Whether it is the astronauts of Jeep Tale 3 or the consciousness of Banderas' star, the current clues all point to the fact that they have been controlled and turned into other appearances.

Jeep 3 became Ligaderon and came to Earth to absorb high-purity energy, while Banderas Star became the sun beast Banderas and came to Earth to absorb negative energy from humans.

What they have in common is the desire for energy.

Plus, Banderas' star has been drained of its light and heat, turning into a black dwarf.

This shows that Chiba Makoto's previous speculation about "accelerated entropy increase" was not groundless.

And no matter whether the opponent is Sphia or not, he is an extremely difficult enemy.

Regardless of its strength, the fact that it can wrap around a star is enough to determine that its size is absolutely astonishingly huge.

Not to mention other stars, just take our sun as an example. It is not very large among stars, but its volume is more than one million times that of the earth.

It was impossible to imagine how huge this existence must be. Thinking of this, Iruma Kei and Horii fell silent.

His brows were furrowed, but he could do nothing.

When the size reaches a certain level, it is enough to ignore everything.

Just like ants, their muscles are very strong. They can lift objects that are dozens of times their own weight and drag objects that are thousands of times their own weight. They are definitely the super strongmen in the animal kingdom.

But even if there were ten thousand strong men like this, they would not be able to move one leg of the elephant.

The "darkness" that swallowed up the light and heat of Banderas' star is more than the size of an elephant. Not to mention humans, even the earth is insignificant in front of it.

With such a huge size, it does not need any other means of attack. It only needs to get close to the solar system and use the strong gravitational force brought by its own mass. The resulting gravitational imbalance is enough to destroy humanity and even plunge the solar system into chaos.

"How to deal with a guy like this?" Horii said to himself in a very low voice, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Chiba Makoto next to him.

The technology that humans are so proud of is probably no better than an ant in front of such a huge and majestic thing. The only hope is -

Ultraman Tiga!
Qianye Cheng was also thinking about it, and after a while he said: "If I am sure that the other party is a terrifying existence at the black hole level, I will go and ask for help."

That is to say, shaking people.

If it was just the dark planet Gransfia in the original work, then humans could still play an important role, and with the power of Ultraman, they could still fight against it.

But if it is not only the dark planet Gransfia that is coming, but also this "darkness" that is so huge that it can swallow up stars, not to mention humans, even Ultraman's power will be insufficient.

At this time, you can only call your friends and start a righteous fight.

So what if it devours stars? The Kingdom of Light can restart the sun that has been extinguished by sunspots.

Just based on the achievements that Tiga has made for the Land of Light during this period of time, he can definitely get the strong support of the Space Guard. Even if he doesn't ask for a big shot at the level of King Ultra, a group of elites at the level of Ultra Brothers can greatly relieve the pressure.

"Ok!"

Iruma Hui nodded. After all, this was reality, not a movie that needed stupid things to advance the plot quickly. Naturally, she would not say stupid things like "Why don't you ask for help now?"

The reason is simple. Why would someone stay with you just because of a guess?

If we have identified the enemy and even found their coordinates, we can rush over regardless of the risk to our lives. But when we don't know anything and are not sure of anything, we ask them to come and stay here for several years. This is really too much.

You say your planet may be in crisis, but the universe is so big and there are so many of them, many planets are in crisis.

Not to mention, the Kingdom of Light is currently facing the threat of war from the Absoluts, and its own military strength is insufficient, so how can it spare a large number of elites to be stationed abroad for a long time?

All I can say is that the crisis came at a very opportune moment, as the Kingdom of Light also happened to be in crisis.

"The current defense line may not be enough." Horii frowned and said, "The current deep space exploration satellite can only reach Jupiter."

Although he has left the Victory Team, he is still within TPC and has naturally witnessed the development of TPC over the years.

Although the New Frontier Project is about exploring the universe, it will not be accomplished in one go, but will be divided into many steps.

We have just arrived at Jupiter and have just completed the construction of the Jupiter Space Station in Jupiter's orbit. We are now constructing the Ganymede base on Ganymede.

If we want to guard against the gravity of a "black hole", we may have to deploy deep space exploration satellites to the Kuiper Belt.

This is the late stage of the new field plan, and the early stage has not yet been completed.

"Let alone other things, just communication is a big problem." Chiba Makoto raised the question. The Kuiper Belt is billions of kilometers away from the Earth. Even if we don't consider the attenuation of electromagnetic waves and other factors, it will take several hours to reach the Earth. Even if it is discovered, it will take that long to transmit it back to Earth.

And if this "darkness" is really heading for the stars, then its speed in the universe is probably very unusual, and it may even have a space jump method similar to a wormhole.

When he mentioned this, Horii's expression changed, and he introduced with great joy: "This problem will be solved soon. The cosmic network will be online soon. Once completed, it will build a bridge of communication between the planets. Even sending a message from Pluto to Mercury will only take a dozen seconds."

"Ah, so fast???"

"Of course!"

As he spoke, Horii proudly introduced his masterpiece.

The interstellar network, called Cosmo Net, uses TPC's current and planned space stations and interstellar bases as base stations, and is combined with relay satellites to connect the planets.

What is used is naturally not the traditional electromagnetic waves, but quantum communication based on quantum entanglement.

Horii began to understand and research this project after the Flash Man incident. After leaving the Victory Team, he devoted himself to it and finally achieved results.

With the support of TPC, Horii and a private enterprise PWI have started cooperation to jointly develop and build an interstellar network to replace traditional electromagnetic waves.

Once the quantum network is completed, electromagnetic waves, a means of communication that once shone brightly in human history, will be swept into the dust of history and will never be used again, and will no longer have any impact on the Earth's ionosphere.
