The leader of the scientists said helplessly: "This black fog is mainly composed of unknown biological pheromones, which combine high-energy antimatter, dark matter and the energy of countless cosmic rays. Our communication has been cut off, which has a lot to do with these substances." She paused and continued: "Because in the black fog, the concentration of these energies is very high, our information can't even enter the dark universe!"

Her words made everyone fall into deep thought. This mysterious black fog seemed to have become an insurmountable obstacle, blocking their connection with the outside world.

"Preliminary research shows," the chief scientist continued, "that the biological pheromones in the black fog will continue to erode the energy shield of the Star of Tomorrow. Judging from the current situation, our energy shield can only last for a maximum of fifty imperial days. If we are still unable to break out by then..." She didn't finish, but everyone understood what she meant.

Captain Chris took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, "We will definitely find a way out!" His words revealed a firm belief and determination. In this mysterious black fog, they can only rely on their own strength to find a way out.

If we can't get out of this black fog within fifty days, then the spacecraft and ourselves will face the same ending! That is, being eroded by the black fog! This black fog, as if it has life, slowly creeps and exudes a suffocating sense of oppression. According to current research, the consequences of being eroded by the black fog are simply unimaginable. That may cause huge energy and radiation to rush into the body like a flood and beast, and eventually corrode the body into a thousand holes! Imagine that those energies are rampant in the body. The best result may be that the body can't bear it and explodes, and it's all over; but what's more terrible is that you may become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, struggling in endless pain. Even if you can maintain your consciousness, the pain of living a life worse than death is chilling just thinking about it!

Chris's face turned pale when he thought of this. He looked around and saw that the soldiers and crew members around him were also terrified. They all understood each other tacitly. After all, everyone was in the same boat. If the boat capsized, no one would be safe.

"Keep researching! We must find a way to contact the outside world! Or determine our exact location! Look for the possibility of crossing this dark universe! Act quickly!" Chris gave orders to the soldiers with a determined look in his eyes.

"Yes! General Chris!" The soldiers responded in unison, and then quickly left to get back to work. Chris turned his gaze to the crew, his face full of seriousness.

"I have already ordered the launching of beacons to find the direction. How are you going? Have you found any clues?" Chris asked the crew members anxiously.

Hearing Chris's question, the crew looked at each other helplessly. "Captain, we have tried our best to send hundreds of beacons to the outside world!" A crew member answered with courage, "But we found that once these beacons leave the mothership 200,000 kilometers, the connection with the mothership will quickly weaken until it is completely lost! This black fog seems to have the ability to swallow up all communication signals!"

"Yes, and the mechanical devices we launched into the black fog are also extremely easy to damage. In just a few days, we have lost hundreds of drones!" Another crew member added, his face full of helplessness and frustration.

"Don't give up! Keep looking for a breakthrough!" Chris looked at everyone solemnly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes, as if he was cheering everyone up.

"You all heard what the soldiers said just now. The current situation is very serious. If we can't find a way out within fifty days, all of us will be trapped and die in this black fog!" Chris once again emphasized this cruel fact. The crew could only smile bitterly at each other, but they also understood that at this moment they had no choice but to persevere.

"Yes! Captain!" Everyone answered in unison, then dispersed and continued to engage in their intense and orderly work.

At this time, Lucy came over. She looked at her father's increasingly haggard face with a worried look in her eyes. "Father..." Lucy called softly, her voice full of concern and reluctance. Captain Chris looked up at his daughter, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his firmness and calmness.

"The most important thing for us now is to find a way to get in touch with the Chen Empire." Captain Chris said slowly, "I believe the Empire should have discovered our predicament and is trying to rescue us. But their communication signals cannot penetrate this black fog, so we must try to take the initiative to get in touch with the Empire in order to escape! Shar, don't worry, your father will definitely take you home!" Chris tried to comfort his daughter with firm words, while also cheering himself up.

Lucy looked at her father's determined eyes, and her worries were slightly relieved. She knew that her father was a strong man who would not give up easily no matter what difficulties he encountered. But she also understood how dangerous this interstellar voyage was, and the consequences would be disastrous if she failed. Therefore, she still couldn't help but worry about her father, and at the same time, she was uneasy about the fate of herself and the entire fleet.

"Father, I'm not worried about myself." Lucy took a deep breath and said, "I'm worried about you... You've been under a lot of pressure recently!" She knew that her father had hardly slept in the past few days and had been working hard for the fate of the fleet. This voyage of the interstellar carrier was of great significance to the family. Not to mention other people, Admiral Chris himself, if he was lost, it would be a heavy blow to the family. Not to mention, his own daughter was still on the ship, and you can imagine how heavy the burden on him was!

"I'm fine!" Captain Chris looked up at Lucy and said with a smile, "Sha'er, go and have a rest! I'll think about whether there is a better way!" Although he looked tired, his eyes were very firm, as if to say, "Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up!"

"Okay..." Lucy turned and left with tears in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't cause trouble for her father. The only thing she could do now was to believe in him and support him!

………………

On another ship approaching the black fog, Lu Xuanxin and Farr were facing a difficult choice. Lu Xuanxin told Farr about his plan, although the plan sounded a bit absurd, but in this desperate situation, they seemed to have no better choice.

"Is your method really feasible?" After hearing this, Fal's face changed. She looked at Lu Xuanxin in disbelief. "To put it bluntly, Link may have taken some hallucinogenic drugs and saw an imaginary god. His method is too absurd, how could it be true!"

"We should at least give it a try, right?" Lu Xuanxin looked at Fal calmly, "After all, you shouldn't have any better way than this, right?" Fal was slightly stunned when she heard Lu Xuanxin's words. She shook her head hesitantly, "So how to choose between this plan with an unknown success rate and no plan? Do you still need me to teach you?" After speaking, Lu Xuanxin turned to look at the data display screen on the ship, which showed all the information about the black fog. Looking at the modeling data given by the main brain, Lu Xuanxin narrowed his eyes slightly. If this black fog covering a range of ten light years was really emitted by some kind of creature and it was caused by carbon-based creatures, then it would almost break the scientific cognition of the Lucifer Empire before!

The ship finally arrived at the observation post on the Black Mist front. This was a huge flying fortress equipped with numerous advanced weapon systems. The weapons on the fortress quickly aimed at the ship that suddenly shuttled through, and put it on strict alert.

"Ding - verifying identity! Verification passed! Code: @11!" As the identity verification passed, the giant ship slowly stopped on the floating platform. Lu Xuanxin and Fal walked down from the ship. They looked around and saw that there were some huge ships around them. Ships were constantly taking off and landing, and soldiers in various mechas were busy performing tasks everywhere. There were also some unmanned robots performing meticulous repairs on the ships.

"Earl Lu Xuanxin! Earl Far! Welcome!" General Lille and Researcher Ke Yi quickly came forward to express their warm welcome to them. "Vice President Far, Earl Lu Xuanxin!" Ke Yi also hurriedly greeted the two people in front of him. Lu Xuanxin and Far nodded in response.

"General Lille, have you arranged the location close to the black fog that I need?" Lu Xuanxin asked General Lille, with a hint of urgency in his tone. The purpose of their trip was to explore the mysterious black fog in depth and find a way to rescue the trapped fleet. Therefore, it was crucial to be able to get close to the black fog for field exploration.

"Everything is ready, Count Lu Xuanxin." General Lille replied quickly, "You can come to me anytime if you need anything! We will fully cooperate with your work." Although General Lille's title was only a baron, which was not considered high in this hierarchical empire, he attached great importance to Lu Xuanxin and Far's mission, and hoped to contribute his own strength to rescue the trapped fleet.

Lu Xuanxin and Fal, the two earls who enjoyed high status in the empire, were always Lille's dream. Their titles seemed like an unattainable dream to Lille. Lille often imagined that he could reach such a height one day, but the reality was always cruel.

Lille knew that the only way to obtain such a title was to destroy a level 3 civilization. However, such an idea was nothing but a fantasy. The weapons of level 3 civilization were so advanced that even if there was a generation gap, he could not contend with them alone. To launch a war of civilization annihilation, one needs to devote all one's strength, just like a lion fighting a rabbit. Such a war was something Lille could not command at all. Without a strong background and strong strength, pursuing the title of earl was just an unrealistic fantasy for him.

However, despite the slim hope, Lille never gave up trying. He knew that without the promotion of his superiors, relying only on his own efforts, the chances were slim, but not impossible. The difficulty of conferring a title in the empire was because it represented practical interests. Titles above the earl were already standing in the upper class of the empire. This idea, like a seed, took root deeply in Lille's heart.

"Good idea!" Lu Xuanxin smiled slightly, his smile revealed a kind of calmness and confidence. He pondered for a moment, then looked at Lille sharply, "You can take me there now!" His tone was firm and decisive.

"Yes!" Lier did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately took Lu Xuanxin away. His back, in the afterglow of the setting sun, looked particularly determined and lonely.

Vice Dean Farr frowned and looked at Lu Xuanxin's receding back with complicated eyes. Her heart was full of doubts and confusion, but more of it was a kind of expectation and hope.

"Vice Dean!" Ke Yi shouted with a smile, breaking the brief silence.

Farr turned around and looked at Ke Yi in front of him. Ke Yi was an outstanding scientist of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. His rank was not low, and he was already a ninth-level scientist. In the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences, his position was very important.

"Go and take a look!" Far said to Keyi, her voice revealing a deep expectation.

"Yes!" Ke Yi nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with excitement. So, they took a small aircraft and soon arrived at a frontier observation station.

The observation station is located on a desolate planet on the border of the empire, surrounded by desolation and ruin. However, it is one of the most important frontier outposts of the empire, responsible for monitoring the dynamics of the nearby starry sky.

Lille led Lu Xuanxin and others to a spacious platform at the observation station. Various instruments and equipment were placed on the platform, which were obviously prepared for some important experiment.

"Everything is arranged according to your needs!" Lille said to Lu Xuanxin with a smile, his tone full of respect and admiration. Fal and Keyi also came along, their eyes swept across the platform, their eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation.
