Chapter 373 Tearing Space
Chen Ming watched the broken limbs pierced by the arc falling into the black hole.
He decisively ordered the Zerg fleet to take action and immediately released several Hercules-class ships in good condition to perform a short-distance jump.
They jumped to the broken limbs close to the black hole monster and tried to capture the broken limbs.
But the black hole monster would not just watch.
When Chen Ming's Hercules ended this short-distance jump, several limbs with the momentum of destroying everything were already waving at them.
Fortunately, there was previous experience.
Chen Ming also knew that the black hole monster had the ability to detect jump fluctuations.
So when he gave the order, he also gave the order for the Zerg fleet to keep moving and be ready to maneuver at any time when the jump ended.
But even so, two Hercules-class ships were still hit by the limbs of the black hole monster and instantly shattered in the black hole horizon.
It's not that the Zerg consciousness on Hercules didn't react in time, but that the broken limb had an unexpected huge gravity.
As a result, if Hercules evaded in the direction away from the broken limb instead of approaching it, he would be pulled by the unexpected gravity.
Fortunately, the gravity of the limb can be traced, and the real trouble lies in the gravity released by the black hole monster itself.
This can only rely on Chen Ming to detect the location, direction and intensity of the monster's psychic energy fluctuations to judge the actual effect of this gravity.
In this process, all approaching Zerg warships must dodge in order to get closer to the broken limb that is getting closer and closer to the black hole.
The black hole monster does not seem to have the idea of swallowing its own limbs directly like it swallowed the Zerg warships before.
It seems that it just wants the broken limb to fall into the black hole, or wants to use the broken limb to attract more Zerg warships to it, so that it can launch an attack.
The situation can only be said to be very dangerous.
Any accident may cause serious losses.
But for Chen Ming, these losses were just like that.
He continued to send more than 20 Hercules-class ships to approach, and tried to touch the stump against those frantically waving arthropods.
The loss of the Hercules in the middle of the journey made the psychic minister next to him feel distressed.
But Chen Ming sent them all over without blinking, just to achieve his goal.
In the end, the stump that was broken by the arc launcher was still caught by the tentacles extending from a Hercules-class ship, and retreated to the rear of the Zerg fleet after a short jump, escaping the crisis of being dragged into the black hole or swallowed by the black hole monster.
While the monster was still in a state of impotence and rage, fighting with the remaining Zerg fleet in the Hedong vision.
Chen Ming quickly checked the damaged part of the stump.
The inside was all black matter, and it was impossible to tell what kind of nature it had.
However, judging from the shape of the wound section, it was a break caused by the breakdown of the concentrated arc.
Chen Ming immediately repeated the inspection several times and confirmed that this was the case. It was a pure arc penetration. There was no collateral damage from other weapons, and there was no old injury or anything like that.
This made him a little confused. If the power of the arc launcher was really so strong, why would the huge part that hit the monster's body seem to have no damage?
This seemed interesting. Chen Ming was not in a hurry to figure out the cause of the problem immediately. He could investigate it in detail later.
Now, let him concentrate on solving the current problem.
Chen Ming planned to take the broken limb away first and send it to other places for subsequent research.
But just when the Prometheus that captured the broken limb left the black hole's event horizon and was about to jump away.
The outer layer of the broken limb it captured, the skin that seemed to be a fusion of cortex and keratin, suddenly dried up quickly, and countless cracks appeared on the surface.
Some dark substances were spreading out from the cracks.
Before these spreading black substances had time to spread around, the gravity of the limbs sucked all of them back.
The limb suddenly curled up, and its size was inexplicably getting smaller, but its gravity was increasing in the opposite direction.
For a moment, Chen Ming seemed to see that the starry sky around the broken limbs seemed to be distorted.
That was a sign that light was bent by gravity.
After leaving the black hole's event horizon, the broken limb seemed to be about to collapse into a black hole.
It seems that the black matter in the limbs is closely related to the matter that constitutes the black hole and connects the black hole dimension.
The Minister of Psychic Energy also saw this situation at the moment, and he was so shocked that he stood up directly from the main console.
However, Chen Ming waved his hand slightly to signal him to sit down.
Even if this limb was transformed into a black hole, it would not be enough to threaten him.
Moreover, judging from the mass of the limb observed so far, even if the blessing of psychic energy is taken into account, the black hole it eventually produces may be completely invisible to the naked eye.
But it was a black hole after all, and two black holes so close to each other.
So Chen Ming thought about it, activated his psychic power, and used the dimensional power he controlled to block the limb that was collapsing into a black hole.
In his opinion.
There is a high probability that there is a real black hole dimension behind the black hole, and the act of creating a black hole is to use the dimensional power to open the way to the black hole dimension.
Therefore, using dimensional power to compete with the force that created the black hole is the most likely way he thought of to be effective.
Anyway, if it doesn't work, he has other means.
And the reality is indeed what he thought.
The moment when the dimensional power belonging to Chen Ming blocked this limb.
The process of the limb collapsing into a black hole was immediately stopped, and the turbulent black matter gradually subsided, retracted back inside the limb, and returned to its original appearance.
Quietly captured by the tentacles of the Zerg warship.
The psychic minister didn't understand the development of the matter and asked: "That was just now..."
Chen Ming explained: "The monster's limbs seemed to have started to transform into a black hole after leaving the black hole's horizon, so I used some tricks to lock it up. The effect was okay, and it shouldn't change anymore."
The power to block black holes? It seems there's more to it than that.
Chen Ming has the power to seal off a limb, and this limb can obviously be taken away anywhere.
This is tantamount to Chen Ming mastering part of the means to utilize the power of black holes.
Even if it is just the most simple and crude destructive power, it is mastered.
The psychic director nodded silently, then immediately lowered his head and looked at the console.
This was used to cover up his somewhat unbearable shocked expression.
Just when he lowered his head, he happened to see the scene where all the Zerg warships that were still in the black hole suddenly disappeared.
That's why all of Chen Ming's Zerg warships activated their biomass phase coils at the same time and entered the phase space.
Of course, the Zerg warships do not use the orthodox phase coils installed on various phase ships, but the organs that have the same function as the phase coils evolved by the Zerg Queen after devouring the genes of the phase beasts.
Most of what should be tested under normal cosmic environment has been tested.
It's time to test out some new stuff.
Of course, Chen Ming will not look at the air in the normal universe, and will also enter the phase space.
The psychic minister's eyes swept over the console, and suddenly he couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "This black hole..."
"I noticed."
Chen Ming responded, his eyes also locked on the console.
Because when observing the black hole where the monster exists in the phase space, you can find that the existence of this black hole has lost the terrifying feeling of approaching an abyss that it brings to people in the normal universe.
It becomes like an ordinary celestial body.
Of course it should be so.
Phase space is an independent dimension that means there is self-awareness. When there is a gap in the phase space leading to the scarlet dimension and the normal universe, it will actively let the phase beast seal it.
So as a celestial body like a black hole that objectively exists in the universe, since it serves as a passage to the black hole dimension in the normal universe, it is normal for its passage to be closed in the phase space.
It’s normal to lose that special look and feel.
After all, this is a world with spiritual beings. No matter what happened to the things that Chen Ming originally understood, he would quickly accept it happily.
And as he discovered this situation, he suddenly had an idea.
Chen Ming directly invoked his spiritual energy and sent the limb of the black hole monster that he had locked into the phase space, which was being dragged to a safe place by the Zerg warship to prepare for the jump.
And it directly unlocked the original lock on it.
As he expected, this limb did not collapse towards the black hole again, but instead floated in the phase space like a real biological limb.
it is as expected.
Since the passage to the black hole dimension in the phase space is blocked, Chen Ming has reason to believe that there is a high probability that the process of transforming the black hole will also be blocked.
So he did it.
After all, it is impossible for him to keep controlling this limb like this. Sooner or later, he will need to unblock it and start studying the limb.
Rather than thinking about solutions later, give it a try when the right opportunity presents itself.
He tried and succeeded.
The limbs sent into the phase space can indeed be suppressed by the power of the phase space. Chen Ming no longer needs to be distracted, and subsequent research can also be conducted in the phase space together.
Of course, the psychic minister who was beside Chen Ming at the highest point in the phase space also saw what was happening outside through the spacecraft's sensors.
He immediately understood the situation and said nothing more.
He also wanted to see more of the monster in the phase space and see how Chen Ming would deal with it.
Although he has always believed that the Fanchao Research Institute is at the forefront of understanding the unknown, and their Psychic Research Institute is at the forefront.
But compared to now when he personally followed Chen Ming to this place outside the observable universe, he knew what the real situation was.
The Zerg fleet regrouped at the edge of the black hole's event horizon in phase space.
However, the black hole monster could not detect this. It even thought that all the Zerg fleets had disappeared and left.
After showing some incompetent rage that it could leave at will but unable to move in the face of the enemy, it continued its meaningless struggle at the entrance of the black hole.
Chen Ming's fleet quietly approached the center of the black hole and lurked behind the monster.
The formations were slightly dispersed, and all available weapons were aimed at the parts of the black hole monster's body where the limbs were most densely distributed.
That is the position of the upper half of the trunk close to its head that Chen Ming judged.
The dark monster in the normal universe seemed to move its messy limbs uneasily.
next moment.
The firepower erupting from a dimension it didn't understand at all instantly covered its body and severely damaged its body in the blink of an eye.
A huge amount of black hole material ejected from the wound that almost penetrated half of the black hole monster.
The terrifying, twisted and chaotic gravity is accompanied by these randomly shaped black hole materials that fill the entire black hole horizon.
However, Chen Ming's Zerg fleet was not affected at all.
The effect of phase space's suppression of normal dimensions cannot be understood from the perspective of existence in the black hole dimension, which can be said to be completely isolated from the normal universe.
The attack by Chen Ming's Zerg fleet continued, and the wounds continued to expand.
The black hole monster twisted its body with difficulty and opened its crack in the direction of the source of the attack.
Just when Chen Ming thought it was about to release the psychic gravity beam.
Its big mouth suddenly slammed into the purple ball of light in the crack.
When it opened its huge mouth again in the next moment, a violent ring-shaped gravity field suddenly spread out.
It was like howling out heavy sound waves visible to the naked eye, sweeping across the entire black hole horizon, and even affecting a large area outside the black hole horizon.
"There is actually such a method."
If Chen Ming had just relied on the number of fleets to push in as soon as he came up, no matter how many spaceships came, they would all be wiped out in this attack.
Fortunately, Chen Ming was prepared and chose to test the monster repeatedly, and actually launched the attack in phase space.
Therefore, his Zerg fleet remained unaffected.
He even felt that he might be able to take this opportunity to kill the monster directly.
The province has long nights and many dreams.
So Chen Ming stopped the ceasefire for a moment, preparing to focus on the wound being repaired by the black hole material and blow it up at once.
But at the moment when the second wave of firepower from the Zerg fleet slanted out, the first laser beam attack hit.
A sense of danger suddenly surged into the perception of the robots Chen Ming left on each Zerg warship.
The black hole monster was seen biting its head, which had suffered countless injuries, towards the position of the Zerg fleet in the phase space.
It didn't bite into an empty space, but seemed to really bite into something substantial.
In the normal universe at this time, the investigation equipment left by Chen Ming discovered that part of the front part of the monster's head was missing.
It wasn't that its head was shattered by the surging firepower.
Instead, its head has penetrated into the phase space, and part of it is in the phase space!
It opened its huge mouth again at the Zerg fleet.
"this!"
The psychic director really couldn't sit still this time, and a fierce psychic wave circulated in his body.
He couldn't understand what the black hole monster was doing, but he knew they were in trouble.
Chen Ming understood what this monster had done.
It's easy to say.
First of all, phase space suppresses the normal universe.
Things that only exist in phase space can actively contact things in phase space, but things in the normal universe cannot do this in reverse.
Even dead objects are the same. As long as they only exist in phase space, they are pure suppression of things in the normal universe.
But the monster took a chance.
A Chen Ming took the initiative to attack it, but he had to let the attack method come into contact with it, so that the chance of dimension suppression was almost non-existent at this moment.
The black hole monster itself has the ability to pass through the black hole dimension and come to the normal universe. Although it is stuck here now, it naturally controls part of the power of the dimension.
So that's when phase space takes a toll on it existing in the normal universe.
It uses the moment when things in the phase space come into contact with things in the normal universe to tear apart the space where the brief contact occurred.
Just like what the Destruction Core once did, it opened a rift between the normal universe and phase space and penetrated into phase space.
The deep purple beam of light swept directly from the gap in the dimension to the Zerg fleet.
Although Chen Ming cannot directly use spiritual energy to control these Zerg warships for the time being, the consciousness link between him and the Zerg Queen can still share the situation as quickly as possible.
This gave the Zerg warships some time to counterattack. Although seven Hercules-class ships were still hit by the psychic gravity beam, the sudden damage had been minimized.
However, the situation has not yet eased.
Chen Ming didn't expect the space to be torn apart.
Moreover, in his consciousness space, the power originating from the phase space seemed to be calling him, asking him to repair the crack that had just been torn apart.
Chen Ming does have the ability to repair.
The gap between the phase space and the normal universe is easy to repair. After all, the phase space does not invade, so just repair it casually.
But the black hole monster is standing on the crack at this time and is trying to expand the crack, trying to penetrate into the phase space.
The danger of this thing is still very scary.
And why did Chen Ming feel that the phase space regarded him as a phase monster.
But he did get the benefit of the phase space anyway, so it was okay to help maintain the phase space.
Not to mention that his fleet was still using the special characteristics of the phase space to unilaterally suppress the monster.
If the monster was allowed to enter the phase space, it would be in big trouble if it escaped from the black hole.
No matter what, we must try our best to prevent this from happening.
Chen Ming first comforted the psychic master who seemed to have physical mutation type psychic energy and asked him not to rush to do it.
Then, Chen Ming's Zerg fleet suddenly rushed to the gap one after another. Even at the risk of being balled up by gravity psychic energy, it still crashed directly into it with its remaining momentum.
A giant ball of pure white light completely covered the body of the black hole monster.
In fact, it was not a ball of light.
Instead, the Hercules class converted all the nutrients of all the tissues and organs into pure energy crystals, and Chen Ming's psychic energy also transported a bunch of stored energy crystals, which were activated when they were about to hit, and triggered when they hit.
The devastating impact dealt a heavy blow to the black hole monster.
And there are more than 70 Zerg battleships of this scale that can be used for self-destruction.
One after another, light balls appeared on the body of the black hole monster, and the powerful impact repelled the part of its body that had penetrated into the phase space.
Chen Ming's psychic energy immediately followed up, using the matter that the phase space itself had, that is, the ubiquitous medium, to repair the phase cracks torn by the black hole monster.
The black hole monster certainly would not be willing to be repelled like this.
It opened its bloody mouth again, trying to tear the cracks between dimensions again.
But several Zerg battleships left the phase space, carrying a belly full of energy crystals, and self-destructed face to face with it.
It was just such a short moment of obstruction that allowed Chen Ming to successfully repair the cracks completely.
Without the contact between dimensions, dimensional suppression takes effect again.
The black hole monster can only bite randomly in the void like a mad dog, and there is no way to directly tear the space barrier.
Chen Ming also took this opportunity to gather his troops and stay away from the black hole area.
He is not in a hurry to continue the attack for the time being.
At least he is not going to attack before thinking of a way to stop the black hole monster from tearing the space.
Otherwise, if it is torn open again, who knows what this monster will do later, and whether it will have any troublesome means.
And he has collected enough data, whether it is the black hole monster or the weapon.
He has to go back and process this data first.
What's more, the purpose of his trip is always to obtain the spaceship of the shining civilization that pierced into its body.
And when the monster smashed the Zerg warship he let go, his main purpose has been achieved.
The Zerg matter has drifted over and can be used as an anchor point in space, allowing Chen Ming to send the afterglow core over and completely control the spaceship.
And just when Chen Ming ordered the retreat.
Chen Ming's psychic power also acted on the shining civilization spaceship that pierced the body of the black hole monster, bringing it into the body of the black hole monster and to his highest point.
And he also knew the name of this spaceship at this time.
["Shining" Wormhole Reconnaissance Frigate]
This is just a frigate.
But it has a hull, structure and armor that are unmatched by any human spaceship, even a capital ship, or even a theoretical capital ship design.
It may be just an ordinary spaceship in the shining civilization, but everything used on it is the crystallization of the shining civilization technology.
