Chapter 496 Major Crisis! The Fall of Blue Star Accelerates!
Chapter 496 Major Crisis! The Fall of Blue Star Accelerates!
The essence of a wormhole is similar to that of a portal.
All require power to maintain channel stability.
The portal is powered by energy crystals, magic crystals, and the spellcaster's magic.
The wormhole is powered by feeding rare minerals to the warp beasts, which then digest and use the minerals for energy.
Its body will merge with the wormhole, becoming the framework and energy source of the passage.
Power is supplied from this end, that is, from the Kona satellite, to maintain the operation of the entire channel.
As for the other end, it's just an exit.
There is no energy source at the outlet, and no target to attack.
This is why wormholes on Terra cannot be destroyed by nuclear bombs, but can only be deconstructed through spatial magic.
For a technologically advanced civilization to destroy a wormhole, there is only one way.
That means going through the wormhole to the other side.
Find the warp beast that has merged with the wormhole and kill it.
Otherwise, this passage would have continued to exist under the sustenance of the demons.
The only window of opportunity is during the opening of the wormhole.
When the passage first tore through space, both ends were extremely unstable and could collapse due to external impact.
Once it stabilizes and takes shape, the export end will be impregnable.
That's why Kogas requested that the other end be underground.
Deep underground, far from the surface, far from the surveillance of technological civilization and the sky.
Once the wormhole is stable, even if it is discovered, the other party will have no way to find a way out.
The demon army had long been pouring out of the wormholes, blooming under the enemy's feet.
The warp beast's skin rapidly cracked and collapsed, with blue-black spatial energy surging from the cracks.
The enormous body twisted and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
An irregular wormhole slowly opened up inside its body.
The edges wriggled, like a slowly opening mouth.
Time passed second by second, and the dark blue wormhole continued to expand, but the center was already passable.
A passage connecting two galaxies has been declared complete.
On this side, a satellite of the Kona civilization.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other end will be another technological civilization!
Kogas looked at the other sixth-tier demon and said:
"Go in and check the situation."
"Once it's confirmed that there is indeed a civilization on that planet..."
Kogas paused, his gaze falling on Yax, and said coldly:
"Let's decide again, whether to advance..."
"Let's deal with some of the waste first."
Yax froze, lowered his head, and didn't dare to reply.
I just prayed desperately in my heart.
That damned bipedal civilization, you better stay there!
Please, you must stay there!
.......
Blue Star Great Xia.
During the month or so that the Demon Clan was making a series of moves, the Great Xia Dynasty was very happy, but it was also quite busy.
First of all, it's Chinese New Year.
This year, Lin Mo will no longer be alone for the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival; Old Zhao has invited Lin Mo to spend them together.
With Zhao Kexia also extending an invitation, Lin Mo couldn't refuse her hospitality, resulting in a somewhat awkward yet heartwarming New Year.
During this period, the good news from the Great Xia government was announced to the public as if it were free.
The Terra Continent tourism route has officially opened, and the first batch of tourists will be able to set foot on the land of this other world in a few days, which will be broadcast live across the entire internet.
The commercial and trade framework has also been officially launched.
At that time, there will be dwarven magical equipment, elven fruits and handicrafts, and various minor spells and foods from the holy humans...
These things, which once only existed in fantasy, have begun to appear in the shops of the Great Xia territory, where Great Xia tourists can choose whatever they want.
Goods from the Great Xia Dynasty, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation, will be sold throughout the entire Terra continent through the mall stores and wholesale channels.
The situation on Earth is equally inspiring.
Residents of the underground city were allowed to log onto the surface in batches, stepping on real land and breathing fresh air.
Even outside the area covered by the World Tree, where the dust from the nuclear winter still lingered, some people were still squatting on the ground, crying their hearts out.
The technological field has seen an explosive growth.
The interdisciplinary research of magic and technology has yielded a number of groundbreaking results.
The experimental data on heavy nuclear fusion has reached a new high, accelerating progress in fields such as materials science, energy science, and biology.
A long-lost sense of optimism permeated the entire internet of Daxia.
"It's unbelievable that in just six months we've already arrived in the future."
"That's right. Six months ago, if someone told me about the changes now, I would have thought they were making up a story and I would have attacked them mercilessly!"
"The hardest time is over."
"The future is bright!"
Everyone thought so, and they were all beaming with joy.
However, it wasn't until that report was submitted to the highest decision-making level of the Great Xia Dynasty that it was finally delivered.
.......
Tian Shu City, high-level conference room.
The meeting room is small; the long table can only seat eight people. In the past, only five people would sit here.
Those who can sit here are all figures who can shift the course of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Lin Mo was sitting on the right side of the long table.
He was the youngest person present, and also the only newcomer to the Great Xia decision-making circle as the person in charge of Terra Continent.
In the main seat, Old Zhao sat upright, his white hair neatly combed, his gaze steady as he looked at the projection screen in front of him.
Standing beside the screen is Academician Qian Zhenhua, who is pulling up his investigation report on his laptop.
Beside Zhao Lao sat four other high-ranking officials on either side.
They are the Five Elders of the Great Xia Dynasty, the core of power who decides the direction of everything in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The conference room lights were dimmed.
The projection screen lit up, displaying the logo of the Great Xia Academy of Sciences.
Academician Qian Zhenhua stood beside the screen, holding a laser pointer in his hand. His gray hair had thinned a few strands since the last time we met.
Apart from the solemn-looking Elder Zhao and Academician Qian, the other five people present had no idea what had happened that warranted such a high-level meeting.
"Everyone."
Qian Zhenhua pressed the laser pointer, and a model of the orbit of the blue planet popped up on the screen.
"Three days ago, the Astrophysics Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed the latest round of precise calculations on the orbital parameters of Earth with the help of a quantum computer."
"The conclusion is not optimistic."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Blue Star is hurtling towards the Sun much faster than we previously predicted!"
In the conference room, everyone frowned.
Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly.
Is Earth being pulled faster by the Sun's gravity?
Before everyone could finish processing what was happening, Qian Zhenhua tapped the laser pointer, and the screen switched to the next page.
A red curve extends from left to right, with an increasingly steep slope.
"The effects of the continued slowdown in Earth's rotation are more profound than we initially estimated."
"The deceleration of the rotation causes a continuous loss of angular momentum, and this lost angular momentum is being converted into the decay of Earth's orbital energy."
"I believe everyone knows this, but now, it's accelerated."
"It's like a train; it starts slowly, but then it accelerates faster and faster!"
He switched to the next page, a timeline.
"Currently, Earth's rotation period has been extended from 24 hours to more than 26 hours."
"And the slowdown trend is intensifying."
"Based on model deductions..."
The laser pen landed on several key points on the timeline.
"In the fortieth year, the orbit of Earth will decay to be close to that of Venus."
"In its eightieth year, it entered the orbital range of Mercury."
"The ninety-ninth year..."
Qian Zhenhua's voice was extremely solemn.
"The Earth will be swallowed by the sun, much faster than we initially predicted!"
"At that time, everything will come to an end..."
