It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 393 Space Pirates?

--sun.

As the absolute center of the solar system, this star accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the entire galaxy.

Like the absolute protagonist on the stage of the universe, it leads the eight planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, trans-Neptunian objects and interstellar dust, etc., to perform the most grand dance in the entire galaxy.

This is an ideal sphere of hot plasma and magnetic field, and it has been about 4.6 billion years since then.

This is a fact that Bao Shi Weng knows.

At least that's how it's portrayed in his cognitive system.

According to precise scientific observations and rigorous statements, the sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star with a spectral type of G2V...

Most importantly, the main-sequence lifetime of a yellow dwarf is roughly 100 billion years.

During this long period of time, the sun uses internal nuclear fusion reactions to combine hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, releasing endless energy and light.

When the hydrogen elements inside the star are gradually exhausted, it will leave the stable main sequence stage and embark on a new evolutionary journey.

At that time, the star itself will begin to expand, gradually increasing in size to several times its original size, eventually becoming a red giant and starting to burn helium.

——This process will occur in about five billion years.

——Even further in the future, it is very likely to happen six billion years later.

therefore……

When he saw the sun in its red giant phase, Bao Shi Weng was completely stunned.

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable shock in his heart, and fell into a state of doubting himself, life, and the world.

Could it be that...could it be said that...

It is because the time deviation is so huge, as vast and long as an astronomical scale...

Is that why I couldn't easily cross over to the other side of this world before? I was trapped in a difficult and long struggle with myself?

Yes, it is a battle with oneself.

In thousands of attempts, the map is switched again and again, eager to find the path to the unknown land, trying to reach the world "on the other side".

At the beginning, Baozhu Weng subconsciously thought that the unknown existence on the "opposite side" had noticed his invasion and therefore used its power to interfere.

That power, similar to the function of the second magic he mastered, always disrupted his world line jump at the critical moment, causing him to fail time and time again...

It's normal to have such thoughts.

Such speculation is reasonable.

However, with the fierce collision between magic and the laws of time and space, in the constant contest and repeated fights, the old man Gem was not slow and gradually came to his senses.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

It wasn't that there was some definite will stopping him, but rather that a vortex with restraining power was activated on the "opposite side".

In other words, the "world" itself is blocking his progress.

This discovery made Bao Shi Weng even more confused, and he did not feel that it could alleviate the strong sense of frustration he had felt before.

But for what he is going to do, this is good news after all.

Because this means that the obstacles he faces do not come from the obstruction of some great will, but are merely a manifestation of the world's mechanism, a part of natural phenomena and world laws.

It doesn't know how to adapt and act flexibly, and will only be triggered like a mousetrap.

It means that there are patterns to follow and loopholes to exploit.

then--

After changing his thinking, and going through a long and arduous round of trial and error using the exhaustive method, Old Man Bao Shi finally found a way to solve the problem.

He realized that it would be futile to confront an irresistible force head-on.

So as a second best option, the magician adopted a new strategy.

The main reason is that the old man Gem discovered that if he tried to control only the subtle changes in the spatial coordinates and relax the variables on the time scale, he would no longer insist on being as precise as possible.

So--

The resistance you encounter will drop drastically, as if a heavy shackle was instantly released.

This made him suddenly clear up his previous confusion. After struggling for a long time, he found out that the time deviation was too large and it was impossible to assign a value.

The old man himself felt helpless. After all, the second magic was called "interference in parallel worlds", which actually included the concept of time travel.

——The tampering of records, the rewriting of phenomena, etc. are all included.

This will enable the magician to accurately grasp the historical period he is about to arrive at when traveling through the world line, just like a helmsman sailing in the boundless ocean, adjusting the course at any time.

It doesn't mean that once you miss an event in a certain world line, you will lose the possibility of interfering forever.

It is for this reason that magicians habitually position themselves on the timeline when moving, trying to reduce the time error to within the allowable range as much as possible.

Finally realizing the problem, he decisively abandoned this operating habit that had become natural and almost instinctive.

After continuously relaxing the time variable and finally completely giving up and not placing any restrictions on this aspect——

After another difficult practice, relying on his powerful magic power and extremely rich experience in smuggling, the magician finally succeeded after who knows how many times he tried...

Arrived at the time and space coast of this side of the world.

Anyway, just come over here first, and the time difference can be considered later... That's what he thought.

but--

………………

………………

"How could it be so far off?"

With an expression of astonishment and complete disbelief on his face, Bao Shi Weng blurted out subconsciously.

However, sound cannot propagate in space.

A dead silence.

The magician also came to his senses. The Earth seemed to have disappeared and no longer existed. So he naturally had nothing to rely on when he appeared in orbit. Although he was not worried about survival, space was not a deadly forbidden area that he absolutely could not set foot in.

Surviving in space is easy enough, but the problem is...

He didn't just come here to film a few episodes of "Kishua Space Drifting"...

What to do next is the real key!
Originally, no matter how bad the situation was, he was mentally prepared and felt that he could handle it, but now the entire earth is gone.

There are no quests to complete, no NPCs to issue quests, and no maps to trigger quests...

How to do this? !

Anyone would be a little upset. Bao Shi Weng could only suppress his impetuous emotions and look around carefully. Relying on his powerful eyesight, he tried to find the planets in the orbits of other celestial bodies in the solar system...

Their charred remains, to be exact.

Where the track once was, only floating stones remain.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the details clearly and could only barely make out the general outline. Naturally, he had no way of guessing what had caused all this.

But the more this is the case, the more room there is for imagination.

He imagined various possible reasons and scenarios, trying to find a clue and hope in them.

——Time passes by every second.

——There is no progress at all.

Bao Shi Weng did not find any remains of the moon, and wondered if it had disappeared along with the earth. This gave him some hope.

Since it did not leave any debris but disappeared directly, it means there is still room for improvement.

With hope in mind, the magician expended a great deal of magic power to fly aimlessly in space, trying to find any possible clues in the orbit where the earth should have been.

After searching for a while without any results...

The old man had to give up temporarily because he couldn't find any clues and there was no entry point at all.

It took some time to reach the nearest stone floating in space.

It's called a stone, but it's actually bigger than the entire Japan...

It could be the remains of Mars. After the celestial body was destroyed, a piece of debris floated to a relatively close position...

Sitting on the wreckage, the old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Even though he was knowledgeable and had experienced many ups and downs, he couldn't help feeling exhausted and mentally tired this time.

There is no problem with the supply of magic power.

After coming to this world, the operation of the second magic became smooth and natural again.

He could easily peer into those parallel time and space, extracting the great source of power from the neighboring worlds like peeling off silk threads...

There is just one difference. The parallel time and space observed by magic seem to be based on the current time and space, extending the possibility of countless "if" lines.

The parallel world group he had come from before now became like a phantom in the morning mist, appearing and disappearing from time to time, vague and elusive...

——What is going on here?
In the field that should have been his forte, Bao Shi Weng encountered a series of difficult to explain phenomena, which was probably the reason why he felt more and more tired.

Close your eyes and take a nap.

Restores physical strength and magicka.

Adjusting and settling down, the old man repeatedly weighed every possible solution in his mind. However, faced with this tricky situation, it seemed that the only option he had was the most clumsy but also the most direct path.

——That is to carefully investigate the destroyed celestial bodies one by one in the broken solar system...

——I’ll take this opportunity to see if I can find any useful clues…

It is obvious that this option requires a huge amount of work, which is indeed inhumane for an elderly person.

"Ok?"

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, an inexplicable perception suddenly came over him, and Bao Shi Weng suddenly opened his eyes.

The pair of eyes, which had not been clouded by the erosion of time, were now flashing with a sharp light.

And as he was watching—

Not far away, in the deep, dark and cold space, a strange wave suddenly arose, and the surrounding space rippled accordingly, and strange gravitational lens phenomena occurred one after another.

In a flash, a huge ship appeared before their eyes without any warning.

It seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space and suddenly rushed out from another dimension.

It is also like an information oscillation that exceeds the speed of light, and the moment it reaches this specific coordinate, it "prints" out its physical form.

That's a starship.

It stood quietly in front of the wreckage of the celestial body, facing the Gem Master.

Although it is only a kilometer long and seems relatively small and delicate, it is indeed a relatively large monster.

"..."

"..."

Baozhu held his breath (even though it had been a while) and frowned slightly. He quickly and carefully examined the starship's smooth lines and cold alloy shell.

At the same time, waves were rising in my heart——

alien?
Or the remaining inhabitants of Earth?
In an instant, his doubts were resolved on some subtle level.

The starship suddenly released a short-range tractor beam, which tightly attracted his body like a magnet, firmly locking the target.
Then, a supernormal technology transmitted sound or vibration directly into his consciousness, allowing him to receive this message:
“Hahahaha, I actually caught him like that… This is too easy!”

It was a heroic and excited man's laugh, and the sound echoed in Bao Shi Weng's mind, carrying an inexplicable sense of intimacy and familiarity.

"Look, look. I told you I have a talent for being a space pirate. I captured a prisoner on my first voyage..."

That laughter was full of complacency and pride.

"Anyway, now all we have to do is let this old man prepare the ransom, right?"
