black sky

The angle of the tiny camera device hidden on Sah Young’s body changed slightly, and he turned it straight forward. Chus could see dozens of figures walking in front of him through the lens, and they were all wearing protective gear. Clothes, with a mask and goggles on his face, tightly wrapped from head to toe, only his height and general body shape can be seen, it is really difficult to distinguish which is Mr. Shao and which is Jiang Qi from the back view.

The place they were on was an old-looking track, which should be buried somewhere underground, and there were lights embedded in the metal walls at intervals.

Sae Young tapped his fingers rhythmically near the earplugs under the cover of the overlapping footsteps in the track.Because of the mask, he knocked very lightly again, which sounded a little fuzzy, but he could still hear it clearly as long as he concentrated.

The monitoring room directly intercepted this synchronous recording, amplified it with noise cancellation, and after two clearing processes, a string of rhythms similar to Morse code was obtained.

Chus has received education in a regular military academy and was born in a training camp. He can understand the content of that sentence without the translation of specialized personnel from the command center——

"There is a man-made space-time warp near Fort Barney, and the end point is where I am now. I suspect it is underground under Fort Barney."

"Man-made space-time warp?" Everyone was stunned for a while when they heard the term.

Tang wondered: "Is it the man-made space-time curve in my understanding? Isn't that only in theory?"

Man-made space-time curves were a research hotspot for a while nearly a hundred years ago, but they were soon shelved.

The research on this kind of detour was originally aimed at some high-secret projects. People wanted to hide some highly confidential things somewhere under the surface. Instead of any passage or physical gate, make an invisible entrance like air directly at a point in space-time.Then create an invisible and exclusive space-time curved path, leading directly to the underground secret space.

The whole process is somewhat similar to a jump in space, instantaneously transferring to another space-time point.

The confidentiality of this method is indeed extremely high, but in the end it failed to transform from theory to reality, because the technical requirements for tools have not been able to break through.

Ordinary aircraft or jump cabins can’t pass through the time-space curve at all. The speed is not enough, the resistance is too large, the volume and mass are difficult to meet the standards. Turn into scum, and both humans and machines perish.

But Shao Heng suddenly said: "No wonder... I finally know why they took out the Black Swan that was retired directly."

Pointing at the screen, he turned his head and said to Chus: "Remember? The flaw of the Black Swan is that the entire fuselage is too narrow. Compared with other aircraft, it looks like a thin knife. People stay inside It is very uncomfortable, but on the other hand, the resistance it suffers in space-time is unprecedentedly small, look at the previous jump speed."

Indeed, from this point of view, the Black Swan fits perfectly into the curve of time and space.

"But since it fits so well, why did you just retire at the beginning?" Zild Feng said while sorting out the rhetoric he was going to talk to the military with the other two deputy commanders, "Even if it is not suitable for combat, it can be used as a military weapon." A special type of aircraft, dedicated to space-time curves, so that the research that has been popular for a while will not be so stranded. And I always remember that some problems were discovered during production."

Bystanders know that sometimes when listening to certain conversations as a third person, it is easier to find the key points than as a topic participant.

In the conversation between the two, Chusi grasped several key words and integrated another guess.He folded his arms and looked at the screen of Say Young, and said: "Since all the strange things discovered now are experiments around time, it might as well involve the Black Swan with it. Maybe the original manufacturing The intention was to experiment with time, but when it was actually produced, it was found that it failed to meet the original intention in some aspects, so it was retired directly.”

"It doesn't matter whether these guesses are wrong or right." Truss reminded, "Le Pen is already on the way to rush here. If the guess is correct, Fergus, the former chief designer of the Black Swan, is on her aircraft , who else knows the inside story better than the designer?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room. Even though Chus briefly explained the current situation to them in a few words, they still felt a little unbelievable.Not rationally, but simply emotionally, I feel so surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Heng sighed: "Fuck? That's right—the designer was tied back by us!"

Truss corrected his wording: "Please."

"Oh, please come back."

Tang was even more dreamy: "I still can't imagine Jin and that little girl..."

Chu Si ignored them, urged Childe Feng and the others with his eyes, and looked at Sae Yang's screen again.

If they suddenly disappeared from the star map and took the warp of time and space, it would be understandable why everyone was wearing protective clothing. It may cause personal injury.

but--

Chusi frowned and turned on the two-way communication again, lowered his voice and said to Sae Yang: "Aren't you on my aircraft? Are you not injured?"

When Sauer Young went to hunt down the Black Swan Brigade, he drove the exclusive aircraft under the name of Chusi, but he dragged a black swan as a cover and disguise.That exclusive aircraft is top-notch in terms of defense and attack, but it definitely doesn't have the advantage of the black swan. As long as it enters the space-time curve, it will definitely shatter.

So how did he arrive at the destination with the group of people in the black swan safe and sound?

After all, the Black Swan Brigade's move into the space-time warp was very sudden, and no one expected it.No matter how powerful Say Yang is, he doesn't have mind reading and prophecy skills, so he couldn't be transferred into the black swan just before entering the space-time warp, right?

Perhaps there was a hint of worry in his tense voice, Sae Yang smiled lightly under the mask, and tapped a series of fingers to answer——

"Don't worry, you forgot the characteristics of the finished product?"

The characteristics of the finished product...

The research draft stated that Sah Young, as the only finished product at the time, could be shortened.Truss knew that Sae Yang intended to remind him that he would not die, but when he recalled the content of the draft, Chuss focused on another point——

As mentioned in the draft, they had expected that the finished product at the current stage would have the ability to stretch time, and the method was passive.It's just that Say Young exceeded their expectations, and developed a side of self-control, and even added extraordinary wound healing power.

It doesn't mention the specific difference between passive and active, but in terms of the trigger method, it is said that it is a near-death state.

At that time, Chu Si didn't think about the relationship between the trigger method and immortality, but now he suddenly understood the meaning of the so-called "immortality", because when he was in a near-death state, he would automatically trigger instant backtracking and return to the most dangerous choice At this point, maybe he can avoid the subsequent danger by changing a choice, and if he forcibly does not change, it is equivalent to being trapped at the point of dying, becoming a permanent prisoner in the time cage.

So he had to use the ability that the experiment forcibly added to him.

In Sae Young's understatement, Chusi could imagine what he had experienced in the previous black screen time-riding an ordinary aircraft into the space-time curve, and then being strangled, human and machine dead, in death At the moment, time automatically goes back to before entering the space-time curve, and everything has to start all over again.

Will he immediately realize that he should change the aircraft after doing it all over again?

I'm afraid I can't...

He appeared in front of the camera in the same attire as all the people on the Black Swan. This result was achieved by how many times he did it again, and Chus hardly dared to think about it.

Even if time can go back, he still has to truly appreciate the pain in the process of death over and over again.

And in his decades of life, I'm afraid there are not many such experiences...

Chu Si even began to doubt that when his countdown was cleared before, the reason why Sah Yang was able to find the piece of White Eagle Military Hospital among the tens of thousands of planetary fragments in such a short period of time, would it be possible? ... also used backtracking?

When we eliminate the wrong one in the constant backtracking and finally determine the correct one, at first glance it seems that there are only a few transitions, but in fact...

Sae Yang on the other side of the screen naturally didn't know what Chusi was thinking in this short moment, but after a pause, he continued to type a sentence——

"Your aircraft is hovering outside the entrance of the space-time curve, and a temporary silence has been activated for the entire aircraft. If the pursuit team follows it, pull it back, and the time-space curve will not be intrusive."

Objectively speaking, based on Sah Young's special function, he is also the best candidate for the pursuer, except for him, whoever he replaces will be the result of the crash of the plane.

But Truss still regretted it.

He deliberated for a while, and finally said to Sae Yang in a low voice: "You...be careful, if the situation is not right, just withdraw."

After speaking, he cut off the two-way communication again.

Childe Feng and the others have already contacted the military headquarters, and they are using the excuse of constantly monitoring the operation status of the dragon pillar and the gathering process of the planetary debris to cover the situation of the military headquarters in oblique ways.

Chus kept his headset on, paying attention to the movement at the military headquarters, while watching the underground video recorded on the screen.

Sae Young is tall, so the angle of impact is equally high, and he can look past many people in front and see the corner of the end of the track-the left turn from there should be the space they are going to, at this distance and angle , a corner of some large metal instruments can be seen.

When a man of medium build passed by Say Yang, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked someone behind him, "Have you issued the warning?"

Someone from behind responded: "Let it go, how could such an important thing be forgotten."

warn?what warning?

Just when Chusi and the others were a little puzzled, a new off-camera image came from the other corner of the screen belonging to the captain of the pursuit team.

"Report, all members of the pursuit team have arrived at the designated jump destination, which is in the X-112 area near Fort Barney." After the leader of the pursuit team finished speaking, he paused, leaned forward to the cockpit, and then hesitated: "Sir, Team Shao, we have received a warning of danger, reminding us that there is a time-space detour ahead, the danger level is 5S, don't go forward rashly????"

Now, everyone in the command center was taken aback!

There are still such kind enemies these days?Do you give an early warning when you encounter danger?

Everyone looked at each other, and Shao Heng was the first to speak out. He was from the security force, so he could understand the message that Sah Yang knocked back before.So he gave instructions to the captain of the pursuit team: "Surround the entrance of that time curve, and don't move rashly. In addition, the officer's exclusive aircraft is over there, and it is temporarily silent when it is turned on. The star map is not displayed here. Wait for the silence later." The status disappeared, and the aircraft was collected."

"Roger that!"

Even if the chasing captain thinks the enemy is a bit strange, he will not ask random questions and follow the instructions.But Shao Heng in the command center is different.

"Sir, I'm not biased against my old man, but I really feel that no real hostile force will remind those who are chasing them to be cautious about the danger ahead. This is definitely not something that opposing people can do."

In fact, not only him, but other people also had the same idea, including Chu Si.

But... Seeing a small gesture of goodwill, immediately let go of all guards, and completely treat the other party as one of your own. This is definitely not something that people at the decision-making level can do.Even if you tend to trust each other from a personal point of view, you still can't act rashly in business affairs.

During the conversation, a group of people on Sah Yang's side had reached the end of the track and stood in a cold white space.

The image was thoughtfully turned from several angles, enough for Chus and the others to see the structure of the entire space clearly.This place is about the size of a football field, and various high-precision instruments are wrapped in silver metal casings. Data screens and various manual switches can be seen everywhere on the walls, floors, and overhead.In the very center of the entire space, there is a huge metal cylinder connected from the top to the bottom. There are countless port connections extending from the bottom of the cylinder, connecting to a sitting single cabin around the cylinder.

Chus roughly estimated that there are about a hundred single cabins.

The group of people stood still in an open space not far from the column, buzzing whispers sounded, and many people looked around in place, as if it was the first time they had seen each other.

Maybe it was intuition, or something else.When Chuss glanced over the few people in the middle, one of them raised his hand and took off his mask.The exposed face carried a settled gentle temperament, but the corners of the mouth were pursed with a bit of natural banter.

That kind of mature and capable mixed with gentleness, but a little out of shape temperament, is very familiar to Chus.

His previous guess was correct...

It's really Jiang Qi.
