Chapter 1090 Crystal Gap
"The flare was successfully launched."

"The radar signal was severely interfered with and all targets were deformed."

"Air defense self-check complete, ready to fire at any time."

"The gravitational waves are abnormal, and vibrations are coming."

As An Yun finished saying this, the bridge of the Swan shook violently, and the surrounding meteorites seemed to be attracted by a huge gravitational force. As the gravitational waves swept by, they slowly floated upwards.

"Visual confirmation that a space rift has taken shape, and a large number of unknown signals have appeared."

Holding the device against his temple, An Yun's eyes lit up with psychic light.

"What is that thing? It has no will at all, just like..."

"natural phenomenon."

Alyssa says:
"Should we find a reliable god to worship recently? What's up with our luck?"

Villania actually wanted to say that you can go directly to visit Li Chengxi, but considering that Emma and Sun Lin were still sitting on the bridge, she swallowed the words back.

Speaking of these two people, they also saw the huge diamond-shaped curtain emitting purple light through the bridge, and they couldn't help but stand up and take a look.

"Could that be a crystallization gap? Are crystal life forms coming?"

Alyssa sighed:
"It's very unfortunate. You're right. The probability of encountering this is one in a hundred billion. In a sense, it can be considered lucky."

At this time, Villania said:
"Confirmed lionfish approaching, returning home."

"Tell Hall, who is in charge of the alert, to come back as well. We need to escape immediately and have no time to worry about the warships of the Star Alliance Army."

In fact, the warships of the Star Cluster Alliance were also trying their best to turn around, and they were even too lazy to chase the Swan under the asteroid belt.

"Lionfish confirmed recovered."

Almost at the same time, Li Chengxi's voice appeared on the bridge:

"What the hell is that? There's a ton of signals on the radar. It's almost covering the whole thing!"

"That's a crystalline life form. If you want to be curious, come back and talk to me later. Now you have to run away immediately."

Alyssa immediately ordered:

"Turn the ship around and fly towards the direction of the star. Ignore the meteorites blocking the way. Increase the shield strength to the maximum and we will charge through!"

Crystalline life forms, this special thing has a certain structural kinship with crystallized humans and silicon crystal humans, but this kinship is like that between humans and pigs.

Although the genetic similarity between humans and pigs is as high as 99%, you can't say that the two are the same, right?
This type of crystalline life form is known as the cosmic locust plague. They cannot communicate, have no consciousness, and any psychic exploration will yield no results.

The only thing that is certain is that the crystal life forms will chase the biological organisms, and other than that they have no other reactions.

However, the threat posed by crystalline life forms to the planet is very low. Their crystalline bodies cannot resist the heat barrier caused by air friction and will basically burn up before falling to the ground. Even if some of them occasionally fall to the ground, they will turn into real stones in a short time and will no longer be living things.

In the void environment, if a ship encounters them, it will be a disaster.

Just like the assimilation ability of crystal people, crystal life forms also have similar abilities. They will chase life signals and crash into spacecraft. Once they break through the shield and hit the steel hull of the ship, they will immediately begin to assimilate.

The assimilated part is not just out of control, it will continue to spread in other directions, and can turn a warship into a crystal block floating in the void in the blink of an eye. The people inside will naturally not have a good time. It is said that after being crystallized, even the soul will be permanently sealed, which is eternal torture.

The origin of crystal life forms remains a mystery. Some say they come from an undiscovered star field, while others say they come from another world. Regardless of where they come from, this thing did not appear recently.

As early as the ancient elves, there was a powerful crystal magic. It is said that it was a forbidden technique developed by the elves with reference to crystal life forms.

Crystallized life forms will appear along with space cracks. These cracks are diamond-shaped, of varying sizes, and will emit strong purple light. Because of their obvious characteristics, they are also called crystal gaps.

The good news is that as long as there is a way to close the rift, the crystalline life forms that emerge from the rift will disappear immediately.

The bad news is that neither the Swan nor the three warships of the Star Cluster Alliance have the means to close the rift, which requires special equipment.

The probability of encountering a crack during normal navigation is, as Alyssa said, one in a billion.

On an ordinary ship, who would spend a lot of money to buy a special device that would only be used with a one in a billion chance?

Got a problem with your brain?

But when you encounter one, you have no choice but to run, run quickly, and don't think about charging. Unless you have a well-organized fleet, no matter how many ships you have, they will be devoured by the crystalline lifeforms.

In order to get away as quickly as possible, the Swan didn't even bother to avoid the meteorite and headed straight for it.

The three warships on the other side of the asteroid belt also managed to turn around at this moment. It was as if someone had farted between the two sides. They turned their backs to each other and hurried away, running as far as they could.

When a space rift appears, both jump and pulse flight will be greatly disturbed, so we can only rely on conventional power to get as far away from the place where the rift opens as possible. Only when the distance is far enough can we jump and escape.

After rushing out of the asteroid belt, Alyssa immediately ordered the Swan to sail at full speed. Although overspeeding was faster, it had already been used once. If the reactor was overloaded and melted, it would be really all over.

The Swan's position actually has some advantages. It is relatively close to the stars and is moving in the direction of the stars. The glass in the bridge automatically adjusts to the shading mode to prevent excessive starlight from blinding people in the bridge.

The appearance of crystalline life forms is a standard hexagonal or quadrilateral structure. They are very fast, and it is still unclear what principle they rely on to propel themselves through the void.

But according to the folk remedies passed down by word of mouth, it is said that crystalline life forms are afraid of light, so flying towards the direction of the stars and away from the space rift is the best way to escape.

"UFO enters anti-aircraft fire range."

"Anti-aircraft guns fire!"

"Activate all shield generators. Do not let any crystal lifeform get close to us, or the Swan will be finished."

The purple-red crystals passed through the meteorite belt like a huge tsunami, and they seemed like huge waves that wanted to swallow up the Swan.

This is the source of the dense signals on the radar. The number is meaningless and cannot be counted.

The anti-aircraft gun controlled by Long opened fire immediately, but as mentioned before, the machine soul of the anti-aircraft gun is artificial intelligence. If a small number of space fighters approach the Swan, they will be destroyed, but when such a large number of targets approach, it is difficult for the firepower of the anti-aircraft gun to maximize its efficiency.

"Turn on the searchlight!"

While Alyssa was operating, she said to others:

"Fire out flares, flares, and anything that can emit light!"

I hope the folk remedy passed down by word of mouth will be effective, otherwise the Swan, which has not yet accelerated to its maximum speed, will not be able to get rid of these crystalline life forms.
