Chapter 52 The Cosmic Storm Comes
During the five days of the competition, Chu Fan and his team successfully found the mission items that had been hidden in advance.
The task item is a small box with a space ring next to it, with the official mark of the competition on it.
Moreover, there is not only one copy of the mission item. Looking at the traces of placing items on it, Chu Fan guessed that there should be four copies in total.
In other words, out of five teams, only four teams can get quest items.
Chu Fan's team got the third share.
There are regulations in the competition, and the task items cannot be taken too much.
Otherwise, Chu Fan really wanted to take the last share away.
After getting the mission items on Planet No. [-], Chu Fan and his team did not stop any longer, and immediately started preparing for takeoff.
From planet [-] to planet [-], there is no starship to borrow.
But the strength of the s-class mecha is enough for space travel.
Yun Qingge helped everyone install the officially provided components, and then rose into the sky in a burst of brilliant tail flames.
It was Chu Fan's first time driving a mech to sail in space.
Watching the huge planet under his feet getting smaller and smaller, in the endless darkness, he could vaguely see the crimson No. [-] planet not far away.
The surrounding area was extremely quiet, except for the faint breathing of the three people coming from the earphones.
Mechs cannot jump in space, they can only fly slowly, and space travel takes a whole day.
"Chu Fan, Zilan, it's great to have you in our school this year, otherwise our supplies would have been snatched by others just now, it's so thrilling..." Yun Qingge's voice came from the earphones.
What happened just now happened too fast, and Yun Qingge hadn't reacted yet.
Moreover, she has lived in a greenhouse since she was a child, and has never seen a bad person.
Only now did I think of a sigh.
"Indeed, but they lost half of their energy and supplies, and their mechs were damaged a lot. I estimate that it will take at least three days for them to catch up with our progress."
"There are at least two teams ahead of us, we have to speed up a little bit."
The Golden Penguin was as indifferent as ever.
But her eyes still drifted to Chu Fan from time to time.
Chu Fan is too strong!
The students of Imperial College are at least S-level, but in front of Chu Fan, they are no different from little chicks.
There is no room for retaliation!
Chu Fan found the key to the golden penguin's words.
"I remember that there is only one mission item left. Could it be that other teams just gave up the items on Planet One and went straight forward?"
Chu Fan asked lightly.
Golden Penguin nodded: "This is also a style of play. I have read the information of previous competitions. The No.1 Bodhidharma Academy adopted this method last time."
As he said that, Yun Qingge's cheers suddenly came from the earphones.
"Look at the right side, the nebula over there is so big and beautiful!"
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of Yun Qingge's finger.
A red nebula is indeed very magnificent.
But Chu Fan looked at it for a while, but felt that the nebula seemed to be slowly enlarging.
"That's not a nebula, that's the optical afterglow after a gamma-ray storm!"
"Such storms are produced by the collapse and explosion of a massive star as it runs out of fuel, or by the merger of two nearby compact stars (black holes or neutron stars). Gamma-ray bursts can be as short as a thousandth of a second and as long as several Hours, it will release huge energy in a short period of time. If compared with the sun, the energy it releases in a few minutes is equivalent to the sum of sunlight in trillions of years, and the energy of a single photon emitted by it is usually tens of typical sunlight Ten thousand times."
"It can directly kill any life, and it happens periodically in the universe. Our latest research shows that 90.00% of the galaxy space in the universe is emptied by gamma-ray bursts. It is one of our greatest enemies , to periodically prevent life in the universe from becoming an advanced species."
"That is the sieve of the universe! Sieve out all the civilizations in the universe that are not strong enough to resist it."
The golden penguin couldn't help but said excitedly.
If it can be observed here, it can only explain.
Andromeda, their contestant, will be directly affected by the gamma-ray burst.
It's just that the distance is still a little far away, at least hundreds of millions of light years. With the observation of the mecha and the optical brain, the contact time cannot be directly obtained.
There seemed to be some changes in the next game.
Not only Chu Fan and the others observed this strong cosmic storm.
All observation scientists and cosmologists in the entire Federation are also paying close attention.
The moment the optical afterglow appeared, they came up with precise observational data.
In an unnamed galaxy 2000 million light-years away from Andromeda, nearly a thousand suns exploded at the same time, and the burst of energy exceeded the sum of the energy radiated by the suns of the Milky Way in 10 years. The violent gamma rays will continue [-] minutes.
Gamma rays eject countless electrons and ions that briefly disable all electronic devices.
But the world shut down for 10 minutes, it is not a big deal.
For the Federation, it was nothing more than watching a big cosmic fireworks.
Sundial, eight o'clock in the evening, universal time.
Chu Fan and his party landed safely on Andromeda II.
The entire planet presents a strange crimson red color. What is quite different from Planet No. [-] is that the terrain of this planet is complex and changeable, with unfathomable grand canyons and deep lakes everywhere.
The daytime temperature is as high as [-] blue star temperatures, almost always above [-] degrees Celsius.
However, at night, the temperature here will suddenly drop to minus [-] degrees Celsius, and the entire planet will freeze into ice.
However, even under such harsh conditions, there is still a fourth-level star beast living on the planet.
According to the Golden Penguin's information, most of the star beasts on planet No. [-] live underground, close to the core of the planet.
The planet, which is extremely desolate on the surface, has a rich ecosystem in the invisible underground.
After the arrival, Chu Fan and his party started the search mission.
With the experience on planet No. [-], they memorized the general terrain with their optical brains in the air when they landed, and marked a few suspicious places.
After reaching the ground, they split up and acted directly.
Jin Penguin and Yun Qingge's combat effectiveness is relatively low, so they can't act alone, they can only act in a team of two.
Chu Fan and the Golden Penguin team went to a valley at the bottom of a canyon.
Search while the golden penguins are on the sidelines.
"System, sign in here."
"Ding dong, the sign-in is successful, and the sign-in location: the mysterious cave on Andromeda [-] planet."
"Congratulations to the host, get a reward: sss-level weapon: Red Storm!"
【Red Storm: It is made of the bone ridge of a dead dragon in the dragon stage. It is shaped like a bone whip, with a special ability: it can shock the opponent's mind with a certain chance. 】
There are very few things that allow the system to give an explanation.
In addition to the Andromeda treasure map that Chu Fan signed in the interstellar shuttle last time, there is also the sss-level star beast inner alchemy that Chu Fan signed in the Yunfei Design Office earlier.
The moment Chu Fan saw the system explanation, he froze for a moment.
A bone whip?
Although he hasn't learned how to use it, it doesn't hurt to use it.
But what I didn't expect was that on such a planet, the sign-in was directly given a weapon equivalent to the dragon-turning star beast.
In other words, this whip is at least an SSS-level weapon!
At this time, inside the cave, a golden penguin cheered suddenly.
"found it!"
Not long after, Chu Fan saw the golden penguin coming out with a small box in his arms.
The speed of searching for supplies this time was obviously much happier, and it took less than three hours to land.
"Let's go, let's get the mission items."
Chu Fan said lightly.
The golden penguin gave an order in the team channel, and the others immediately came over for the round.
According to the instructions in the supplies, the four quickly found a grand canyon with a depth of nearly [-] meters.
The map guides them, and the quest items are in the Grand Canyon.
"Let's go down carefully. There must be a lot of star beasts down here. Let's go as soon as we get the things. Don't love to fight."
The golden penguin ordered.
Chu Fan nodded.
A group of people slowly descended to the bottom of the canyon.
There was a stench in the air.
Chu Fan felt that in this dark canyon, countless eyes were staring at him closely.
He couldn't help holding the particle shock knife in his hand.
"Zi Lan, be careful, there are many star beasts here."
"Um"
The voices of the two just fell.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
……
There were sharp roars from all around, and pairs of crimson eyes opened, and countless black figures jumped out of the darkness!
"It's a fourth-level star beast, Hongying! They are small in size, and their front claws are extremely penetrating. Be careful with their claws!"
"The weakness is in their heads!"
The moment the golden penguin saw the star beast, it immediately said the star beast's name and its weaknesses.
This can also be regarded as a compulsory course for commanding, memorizing almost all kinds of knowledge about star beasts.
After finishing speaking, the golden penguin's mecha also rolled on the ground, then took out a laser machine gun and fired a burst of fire, sweeping away all the red shadows who were about to surprise her just now.
Yun Qingge has almost no fighting ability.
At this time, she fully opened the protective device of the mecha, retracted her head and feet, and turned into a big turtle shell.
A few red shadows surrounded Yun Qingge's mecha, scratching Yun Qingge's mecha desperately with their sharp front claws, but they were screamed by the ultra-high-strength voltage device built into the mecha.
Chu Fan glanced at the fighting style of the two of them.
It seemed like they could handle it by themselves, at least without worrying about their safety.
As for Zilan, she had already flicked her spear and rushed into the group of star beasts.
Zilan's strength has also faintly touched the SS level, and among a group of fourth-level star beasts, she is not inferior in the slightest.
With a flash of Chu Fan's long knife, he followed He Zilan's footsteps and rushed into the group of star beasts.
Then, he slashed at a red shadow fiercely!
However, the red shadows seemed to be pack star beasts. Seeing that their companions were about to be injured, the red shadows let out a sharp roar, and stretched out a few steel claws, blocking Chu Fan's knife.
"Zi!"
The particle shock knife and the steel claw collided without a doubt, sputtering a circle of sparks.
Didn't cut it off with a single knife?
Chu Fan's knife froze in the air, and then several red shadows flew up beside him, their scarlet eyes staring at the person's scalp numb!
"Zizzizi!"
With the cooperation of several red shadows, the Particle Oscillating Knife, which has been accompanying Chu Fan, was caught with several gaps, and then a burst of green smoke came out, destroying the circuit inside!
"Squeak!"
At the moment when Chu Fan's particle shock knife was destroyed, the red shadow beside Chu Fan screamed happily, and then the steel claws ruthlessly grabbed the head of Chu Fan's mech, Chu Fan's figure suddenly stopped, and he went up. Leaning back, barely dodging.
