Interstellar Throne

Chapter 72 "Cracking" Breath

Song Peiliu's eyes were almost bleeding, and his teeth were almost crushed by himself.He wants Tullio to regret everything he designed today!

And Song Xiao in the shuttle stared at everything around him being sucked in, his eyes widened.

"Are you scared?" Oz asked.

His voice was flat, as if they were just watching a holographic horror movie.

In the current situation, as long as they are not careful, they will be compressed by the gravity of the asteroid. Now they rely entirely on Arthur's ability to maintain the integrity of the entire shuttle.

Song Xiao thought he would be afraid, because they were marching towards destruction, and would not even leave any traces in this world, but unexpectedly, his heart was calm and calm, and all his senses were even more acute than before.

He could clearly feel Ozzy's breathing, his temperature, his heartbeat, and even the movement of his blood.

Although this space is small, Song Xiao feels that this is the most essential part of his life.

"I'm not afraid."

If these are the last few seconds of my life, being with you is burning beyond all my expectations.

"Well, let's complete this time travel together."

"Time travel? What time travel?"

Song Xiao froze, while Ozzy, who was sitting beside him, remained silent, as if the collapsed asteroid was also under his control.

The star core on Song Xiao's neck floated up and fell into Oz's hands.

"Song Ran restored this ancient star core for you. Today, we will revive it."

Ozzy embedded it in the starship's power box.

Song Xiao felt as if he had been hit by an electric shock, and he understood Ozzy's intention in an instant.

A prompt came from the system: "The calibration of the star core is completed, and it is entering the energy recharging state. The completion rate is [-]%... [-]%... [-]%..."

This ancient star core is actually absorbing the energy of that asteroid!

"Are we going to use this shuttle ship for crossing?" Some kind of anticipation ignited in Song Xiao's heart.

Although many people have proposed the theory of using the star core to drive the shuttle ship for interstellar travel, the shuttle ship and the star ship are not at the same level after all, and the star core must be compatible with the shuttle ship, and the adaptation has never been accepted. Completely solved the problem, even if there is an adapted miniature star core, no one dares to make such an attempt.Because once it fails, it is completely destroyed.

"Hmm. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! This is really interesting!"

Song Xiao's eyes lit up, and the heart that had calmed down to accept everything at that moment was like a seed buried deep in the ground, growing wildly upwards, about to break through the shackles of the soil.

Even if he really wanted to die, he didn't want to die aggrieved because of Tullio's trap, he must die because of something unique.

If what I wear on my body is a modern star core, it may not be able to match the energy replacement system of the shuttle ship, but this ancient star core is different!It doesn't have so many complicated structures, and it is more adaptable to shuttle ships!

All this is like the fate that Song Ran has planned for them long ago!

Everything around turned black, and no light could be felt. If this shuttle ship hadn't been stabilized by Ozzy and Song Xiao, it would have been torn apart long ago!Song Xiao had to grit his teeth to keep the hull from cracking.

"The energy recharge completion rate is [-]%."

Song Xiao closed his eyes, and Ozzy's voice rang in his ears.

"Remember, you are not only an Arthur, but also a tinder."

The system connects the brains of Song Xiao and Oz, and Oz's calmness and composure seem to have become Song Xiao's feeling.

They are going to rush to another space together.

There will always be people who will try to do things that others dare not do, and open up another pattern for the future.

For the first time, Song Xiao had a clear understanding of Ozzy's thoughts, and even how they would end up.

It doesn't matter whether they are destroyed together or go to another place.

Song Xiao stretched out his hand and clasped Ozzy's fingers tightly. Their thoughts spread throughout the shuttle, and they were tightly bound together.

No matter what kind of force hits them, they remain the same.

All the memories flooded into Song Xiao's mind, the first time he met Ozzy as a child, every childish game he played with him, every willful request he made of him, how he always protected his arms, and eyes that followed him wherever he went.

Maybe this interstellar is really big.

But Song Xiao's world is actually very small. He once thought that the core of his life was to find Song Ran back, but now he understands that everything is for him to return to Ozzy's side.

He once asked Oz when he and Oz invaded the Capital Star Central Research Institute, if Song Xiao was the only one willing to go through life and death with him.

But Song Xiao understood that all along, Oz was born and died for him.

Various forces collided with this shuttle ship, and it was like a dead leaf floating on the top of the waves in a tsunami.Song Xiao's nerves were tense, and there seemed to be an invisible force that wanted to split his thoughts. Every moment of Song Xiao's life has never been as hard as it is today.

I don't know how long it took, the feeling that Song Xiao was so nervous and oppressed to the limit suddenly disappeared, and everything became infinite and intriguing.

"Open your eyes, Song Xiao." Oz's voice sounded in his ear.

Song Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a bright starlight flickering in a distant place.

He was surrounded by a group of meteorites, floating aimlessly, and the collapsed asteroid completely disappeared.

"We... succeeded?" Song Xiao asked stupidly.

"Yes, we are still alive."

Without further ado, Song Xiao turned sideways and hugged Oz tightly. He had never hugged anyone so hard, and even had the urge to crush the other person into his body.

The heart is beating wildly, the blood is boiling, and the mind is clamoring.

As if the dawn came out of the darkness, Song Xiao had the illusion that his whole life was to do this with Ozzy.

Ozzy's shoulders stiffened slightly, and then he hugged Song Xiao tightly.

"Our star core has exhausted its energy."

Oz said lightly.

The system shows that there is still [-]% of the energy left in the star core.They couldn't make interstellar travel with that one percent, let alone get back to Wormwind.

These energies allow them to navigate the universe for several days and nights, but there is no guarantee that they can find a suitable energy source or even a planet that meets the needs of human survival during these days and nights.

Even if they find suitable energy sources, they still cannot resist the damage from these energy sources with a small shuttle ship.

"It's okay, we've done what no one else can, right?"

Song Xiao showed a big smile.

Life and death are no longer important to him.He turned his face and rested his forehead on Ozzy's shoulder.

Ozzy's shoulders tensed slightly, and he didn't seem to have thought that Song Xiao would have such a dependent action besides holding him tightly.Obviously in this space, he is powerless to do anything, for Song Xiao no longer has any meaning of dependence.

"You said, what should we use the remaining one percent of energy for? Other than sending out distress signals?" Song Xiao rubbed his forehead against Ozzy's shoulder again.

"Explore where exactly this quadrant is."

"Okay!"

Song Xiao started the system.He suddenly thought of something, and said to Ozzy, "Hey, do you think I'm childish?"

He's always immature, he's always doing big things and small things, and he never puts his whole heart into something.

"Song Xiao, there is a law in the universe."

"What law?" Song Xiao wondered if Ozzy would say something infuriating with a serious face again?

"Everything in the universe, the more outstanding and precious it is, the later it takes to reach maturity."

Song Xiao blinked his eyes, and an inexplicable force surged in his heart. He looked into the dark depths of the universe, and said with a smile: "So I still have a childish reason now!"

"Yes."

"But...you can only be childish in front of you, right?"

"To understand this, you have matured a lot.

Song Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at the shadow cast on the entire piece of broken meteorite in the distance, "It seems that there is something on the other side of the meteorite group?"

"Then go take a look."

The two drove the shuttle, carefully avoiding all the meteorites, they faintly felt the faint light brought by the distant stars from the gap, when they went deep into the meteorite, what they saw was quietly sinking and floating A gigantic starship in between!

Song Xiao's pupils opened in an instant, and his eyes greedily traced its lines.It is like an elegant woman sleeping, waiting for a kiss to open her eyes leisurely.Song Xiao seemed to be able to hear it whispering in his ear, and he even had a desire to extend his power along it.

That is the combination of strength and elegance. If it gallops in the universe, how invincible will it be?

Song Xiao stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch its icy shell through the shuttle.

He opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to say, "Ozzy... what did we see...?"

Its appearance is exactly the same as the forged starship they saw in the prehistoric galaxy.The light of the bright star is so far away, but it absorbs all these faint light like a concentrator.

Its perfection is like out of this world.

"That's 'cracking'." Ozzy said slowly.He had studied "Crack" before, and he knew the shape of "Crack" better than Song Xiao.

Hearing Oz's answer, Song Xiao became even more nervous.

He had searched for it for so long, and was disappointed again after hearing so much about it, but just when he was about to put it behind him, it just appeared in front of his eyes.

Silent and lazy.

Song Xiao suddenly remembered Song Ran holding his chin and looking into his eyes with a smile.

Could this be another trap?

Or was it just his hallucination?

"Song Xiao, anyway, what we have is only [-]% of the energy, what do you have to be afraid of?" Ozzy asked softly.

"Yeah..." Song Xiao's eyes became moist, "We almost finished our game just to find it..."

He has already experienced such a moment of life and death, even if the "crack" is right in front of him, it is no big deal to him.

"let's go!"

The shuttle was getting closer and closer to the starship.

Song Xiao could feel from the metal on its surface that it was completely different from the starship in the prehistoric galaxy, it had a cold luster.Song Xiao raised his face, and he could clearly see traces of different shades, which were the marks of it having experienced many battles.

Song Ran did not deliberately polish the appearance of things, but the familiarity rooted deep in the soul made Song Xiao [-]% sure that it was the real "crack"!

This starship seems to still retain a certain amount of energy, it is like its last breath, and it will never let go easily until it fulfills its wish.

Their starship connected to "Crack" and stepped out of the shuttle, Song Xiao faced a door.

He has an irrepressible sense of respect for "Cracking", as if it carries all the weight of life.

He exhaled, calmed his heartbeat, and put his palm on it, wanting to experience its existence.

When his power surged out from the depths of his mind, along his body to his fingertips, and slowly seeped into the metal particles of this starship, he felt like a bird that had been exhausted after flying on the sea for too long. The unbearable little bird ran into the embrace of the sea desperately.

Oz, who stood quietly in front of Song Xiao, took off the gloves of Song Xiao's space suit, and put his palm on the hatch.

Song Xiao shrank back subconsciously. He thought that the temperature of the cabin door would be very cold, but it maintained a normal temperature. Has it been in operation for the past eight years?

Is Song Ran here too?

"The genetic code is passed, please initiate the instruction from the gene subject."

The system prompt sounded, beating Song Xiao's heart.

Yes, "Crack" really works!Eight years later, its energy is still not completely exhausted!

Song Xiao was eager to try.He looked at Ozzy and said, "Open the door."

The sliding door opened, and Song Xiao was greeted by darkness.

When Song Xiao took the first step, the wall lamp in the passage lit up.

As he walked in, the dark interior of the starship gradually brightened, as if the entire silent world was bustling with excitement because of Song Xiao's arrival.

There was no sound from anyone, they passed by a living area, and they could see traces of various life, Song Xiao casually picked up a small bauble that had been thrown on the ground, it still shook its head.

There was no one, they went deeper and deeper, Song Xiao's memory flowed back, he still remembered that he used to play here when he was a child, and a kind crew member picked him up and showed him all kinds of novelties brought from other quadrants. Gadgets, laughter is always endless.

What about those people?Where did it all go?

Song Xiao swallowed, his throat a little sore.

He knows where the cockpit is without anyone's guidance, as if he was born to belong here.

He was very nervous, he was no longer looking forward to seeing Song Ran here as before.On the contrary, he hoped that Song Ran would not be here.

The preservation of this starship is so good, which means that Song Ran has completed that wormhole travel. In the entire interstellar world, maybe only a genius like Song Ran can escape in a collapsed wormhole.But it is really difficult for anyone to survive on this starship for eight years. The reason why this starship still has energy left is because it does not need to provide energy for human survival. It has been sleeping and waiting for the day it will be discovered.

"Whether you open this door or not, nothing on the other side will change." Ozzy's voice sounded.

"Ah."

Whether it was a dead body or a completely damaged cockpit, Song Xiao knew he had to accept reality.

Song Xiao put his palm on the door and easily opened the cockpit door.This shows that when Song Ran designed this starship, he gave Song Xiao not only the right to freely enter and exit various areas of the starship as a passenger, but also the right to start and drive the starship.

Stepping into the cab, the originally pitch-black space lit up instantly. Song Xiao turned his eyes away and opened them after he got used to it.

In the center is the captain's position. Song Ran's expression of despair while holding Katerina flooded into Song Xiao's mind at this moment, and everything ached. Song Ran was sitting here at that time.

And just under the captain's position, lay a dead body.

Song Xiao stepped back in horror, his back supported by Oz.

This person is wearing a black tights, which can be seen to be made of special materials.Half of his body has been broken down.

And the cockpit looked messy. Song Xiao raised his face and could see the traces of various metal particles moved by Arthur. It was obvious that there had been a power struggle between Arthur.

Oz took out his white gloves, put them on, got down on one knee, and brushed the man's face away.

"It's not Song Ran."

Hearing this, Song Xiao let out a breath.

"Is there any mark on his body to indicate his identity?" Song Xiao asked.

Although Song Ran's daily life is very casual, he has very strict requirements for the cockpit of the starship. Non-core personnel in the cockpit are not allowed to enter, and this corpse is obviously not wearing the uniform of the crew, so It is very likely that they are members of the Assassin Corps!

Song Xiao's eyes narrowed. If it wasn't for these guys, Song Ran wouldn't have disappeared at all!

Oz shook his head: "It is impossible for the assassins to have any marks on their bodies. Even if they fail in the assassination, they must ensure that no one can know who they are."

The mechanic's seat was completely cracked.Katerina must have been attacked quite suddenly.

Song Xiao sat where Song Ran used to sit, and with a random point of finger in the air, the energy box unexpectedly popped out, and a star core was quietly connected to its center, and several spare stars were surrounding it. star core.It is the core of the "crack"!The star core with the largest capacity and the highest replacement rate in Interstellar!

Song Xiao's fingers touched it tremblingly, as if there was some kind of attraction between them, the star core stuck into Song Xiao's palm.

It has a warm temperature, and some kind of dark matter flows under the light blue transparent shell. It seems to be breathing, and Song Xiao's arrival made it open its eyes.

"Song Ran is not here, we need to find the rescue cabin." Oz reminded.

"Yeah!" Song Xiao put the star core back to its original place, and the system showed that the remaining energy was 5.00%, which needs to be replenished.

Song Xiao searched for the location of the rescue capsule in the system, clicked on it, and behind the captain, a completely transparent rescue capsule appeared.

There was a woman sleeping there, her long hair was scattered naturally, whether it was the eyelashes or the feeling that the skin was still hydrated, it made people feel very beautiful.She was placed in it very carefully.

"Katerina...she is my elder brother's mechanic Katerina!" Song Xiao covered his palm, "In the last message my elder brother left to his second brother, he has been holding Katerina all the time!"

"What about the other rescue capsules? Every seat should correspond to a rescue capsule."

Oz reminded Song Xiao that there might be crew members lying in the rescue cabin.

The rescue cabins of the sniper, mechanic, and helmsman were all opened, but there was no one there.

"Could it be that they were all dismantled by the Assassin Corps?" Song Xiao looked at all this puzzled.

"Go and see other places. It is impossible for so many starship members to be disassembled."

Song Xiao nodded, what he wants to know most now is what happened!

"According to the starship's regulations, if it is necessary to evacuate personnel, an escape shuttle will be used. There are such escape shuttles in every area of ​​the starship."

When they came to the area closest to the cockpit, they found that the escape shuttle was gone, and the same was true in other nearby areas.

And some of the escape pods are filled with the remains of the crew members who have died in the line of duty.

After they checked the entire core area, Song Xiao looked sideways at Oz and asked in a tentative tone: "So...Song Ran has probably escaped here with others, right?"

"Yes. That's a good possibility. Remember Berkeley?" Oz asked.

"Of course I remember! According to the genetic comparison, he is very likely to be the 'cracked' sniper Ling Song!"

"Since Ling Song can leave here, it means that other people can too. Maybe Ling Song knows where all the survivors are, and also knows the whereabouts of your elder brother."

"So... as long as Ling Song can be found again, all mysteries will be solved?"

"Ah."

Oz's answer made Song Xiao eager to go back.

"If we want to go back, do we have to use 'cracking'? Not only do we have to locate where we are, but we also have to recharge our energy to complete the interstellar journey!"

"Ah."

When I think of being able to drive "Crack", the joy in my heart is indescribable in words.

They returned to the cockpit, Song Xiao activated the positioning system, but the answer he got surprised Song Xiao.

"Current location, quadrant 0."

"what?"

Song Xiao confirmed it many times, and it turned out to be quadrant 0.

The quadrant 0 is the place where no human being exists, and it is also the place where the original solar system of human beings was once.

They actually came to quadrant 0?

"It seems that when Song Ran repaired the ancient star core you have been wearing, he connected it with 'cracking'. So when our shuttle ship travels through, this star core will automatically We bring 'cracking' here."

It turned out that Song Ran had already planned everything...

If they want to live, they must at least cross from Quadrant 0 to Quadrant [-] to meet Oz's "nebula", otherwise they will not get water or any supplies in these quadrants abandoned by humans.

It's just that once the "crack" appears, it will definitely cause competition among various forces.

"After we cross into the first quadrant, we will activate the 'Crack' trajectory stealth system. It will resonate with you and only obey your orders. When you don't need it, it will collect energy between the stars .and when you need it..."

"How do I let it come to me?" Song Xiao asked.

Ozzy tapped Song Xiao's chest with his finger: "That ancient star core is the contactor, no matter how vast the universe is, it will locate the existence of this star core, travel through countless quadrants, and come to your side. "

Song Xiao looked into Ozzy's eyes, which was another universe that he hadn't fully explored yet.

"It's not just 'cracking' that will come to find me like that."

"Ok?"

"And you."
