Chapter 1110 1089: Psi Skill Out of Control
When the biological space mothership cluster of the "Sagali" civilization appeared near the star system where Antalu Star is located, it flew directly over without using any "wormhole cloud" methods during the entire process.
However, based on current intelligence speculations, such massive entities as biological space motherships are probably not easy to pass through "wormhole clouds".
Because so far, the monsters that have passed through the "wormhole clouds", although not small in size, have not reached lengths of several kilometers, at most around a hundred meters, with a maximum weight of 70 tons. Threat level? Zero! All of them crashed to death without exception.
The first batch of "wormhole clouds" mostly missed, and their number was also small.
The second batch of "wormhole clouds," which truly posed a threat, barely managed to locate within Blue Star's atmosphere, which was not easy, but almost without exception, they were a certain distance from the ground or sea level.
Most of the creatures passing through the "wormhole clouds" are ordinary beings, without even the ability to manipulate elemental energy. Falling from such heights, unless they can fly on their own, or happen to be aquatic and fall into the water, every single monster that first charges through the "wormhole cloud" ends up crashing to death.
If those coming afterward are not too heavy, they can somewhat cushion themselves on the tall corpse mountains and barely survive, but a sufficient number must die first to have such an opportunity. The monsters emerging from the "wormhole cloud" rely entirely on numbers to exchange for survival rates.
Monsters that are too heavy don't have that luck, even if cushioned by piles of corpses below, the gravity acceleration from a free fall of hundreds of meters ensures death no matter what they hit. In the violent impact, their bones either break or easily pierce through vital organs.
As Chen Fei arranged a few snack trays, Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" began its data simulation.
Based on the clues provided by "Seed Nest" McKenny, the biological space mothership cluster, when crossing the meteor belt at the periphery of the star system where Antalu Star is located, reduced in number from 499 ships to 439 ships.
The decrease of 60 ships is inferred to be due to damage repair and the supply consumption needed for normal flight. Additional consumption weight is added to the meteor belt, a journey model is designed, and then the route's starting point is reverse-traced.
The display screen playing the Emerald Star footage switched the scene, presenting a planetary orbit map of the star system, with each planet's name marked, and then the biological space motherships' icon appeared, with dashed lines representing the route being reverse-traced out of the star system.
Everyone's gaze followed suit.
Void travel needs to consider the movement trajectory of planets and star systems as well as the influence of gravitational waves. Even the route between planets was never a straight line from the start. As the distance increases, the curvature of the route becomes larger and larger, eventually presenting a spiral line trajectory with a trumpet outline. This dish-shaped area was marked out.
"This distance... seems a bit far!"
Although the actual distance between the ancestral star system of the "Sagali" civilization and the current main location of the "Sagali" civilization cannot be determined, just by looking at the inferred route trajectory, Miyoshi Xuesen felt that the distance between the two sides was not so close.
"Between 5.5 to 6.5 light-years, the biological space mothership cluster must have flown for at least about 300 years."
Chen Fei obtained the data inferred by Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam".
In the state of full-speed cruising, the biological space mothership far exceeds the third cosmic speed; only in this way can it easily travel between star systems.
Don't think it's biological civilization technology; in the field of space travel, it's no less impressive than industrial civilization.
"No solution! It's too far!"
Heseman Brown shook his head vigorously after listening. If the "space-time seed" positioning psi skill cannot be used, relying purely on the "space transmission" psi skill to traverse the unknown void is a very dangerous thing.
Measured in light-years, even knowing the opponent's real position, the Blue Star Civilization is also impossible to dispatch a large army to the other side.
Even though it flew for three hundred years, the biological space mothership's speed is still very impressive.
Even at the same speed, it would take at least ten generations for Blue Star humans to reach the old base of the "Sagali" civilization. The ones who set off and the ones who arrive would not be the same; combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, and there would be the aging and replacement of various equipment as well as a large amount of material consumption. Even if it is a lone force that does not plan a return journey, it is still impossible to reach the destination smoothly, even if they do arrive it would be delivering themselves on a plate.
The non-combat attrition of the biological space mothership cluster is proof that it is not a pleasant journey by any means.
Of course, if a Dimensional Gate or Stargate could successfully be established at the heart of the "Sagali" civilization, that would be a different story.
But how to reach the opponent's civilization headquarters is the most difficult first step.
"There are always more methods than difficulties, think again, think again!"
Although Chen Fei spoke optimistically, his brows were tightly furrowed.
The distance and time are simply beyond human endurance.
Unless... it is not human!
In the next second, Chen Fei's right hand along with his forearm suddenly swelled, scales emerged, fingers turned into claws, and nails directly morphed into sharp talons.
"Holy shit!"
The sudden mutation scared the hell out of Miyoshi Xuesen, who was dragged far away by several pairs of hands from the shadow beneath him, the whole process was incredibly smooth without even changing his cross-legged sitting posture.
Although he was rated as an A-level superpower user, he didn't benefit from any of the perks of an A-level ability, he had to rely on others to fully utilize the effect of the ability.
"What is this..."
The S-Class superpower user, caught off guard, dropped his teacup, unaware that the tea leaves and broth splattered all over him.
Only Dang Wei Jun reacted immediately, grabbing Heseman Brown by the back of the collar and flinging him out.
With a clang, the long knife was drawn, and the whole body of Battle Qi Flame surged forth, ready for battle like facing a formidable enemy.
"Rookie, speak!"
"I'm fine, just a small accident."
Chen Fei raised his right hand, glanced at the inhuman claw, the sharp talons quickly retracted, and the scales rapidly submerged under the skin, restoring as if nothing ever happened within a few breaths.
This situation had happened before, but loss of control like this was the first time.
After a careful look at Chen Fei, Dang Wei Jun slowly sheathed his long knife.
Miyoshi Xuesen hid behind the family ninjas, poking his head out and asking from a distance, "What's happening with you again?"
"It's just an accident, nothing!"
Chen Fei shook his head, unable to find any reason why the psi skill "Eyes of Tyranny" had triggered on its own. This skill didn't quite feel like a Metal Elemental Psychic Power.
"Are you affected by radiation, mutated?"
The S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown, with a haggard face, crawled back in a hurry, continuously examining Chen Fei from top to bottom, not forgetting to deploy an "Isolation" between them, better safe than sorry, just in case.
Chen Fei had once worked at an aircrew base for a military contractor, dealing with mutants every day, and it wasn't impossible or unlikely for him to be accidentally affected by radiation.
Mutations due to radiation, almost all mutants came this way, only that most mutations do not have a good outcome, having a higher probability of turning into a puddle of pus.
Now, all the mutants around are the lucky ones, having a certain unique segment of their genetic code unlocked, not only successfully surviving, but also exhibiting violent evolution or mutation ability, just like a little chick mutating into a T-Rex.
"No, it's a psi skill, it just activated accidentally."
Besides biological tissue sampling, Chen Fei almost never actively exposed to or contacted mutants, not to mention that radiation index is part of a daily monitoring module, there's no way to be inexplicably exposed to a radiation source.
"Is this also a Metal Elemental Psychic Power?"
Heseman Brown thought for a moment and said, "Are you mastering too many abilities at once, causing a conflict?"
He started counting on his fingers on the spot: B-level Metallic ability, spatial "Spatial Branding", Neanderthal tribe's Inherited Secret Technique, sharing spiritual power with mysterious plants.
Turns out you don't know until you count, but when you do, it scares you. A whole pile of disparate abilities gathered, no wonder there's interference and loss of control.
