Chapter 156 Black Buds Blooming on the Sun

  Zhou Wan used the spatial ability to turn the bat monster's body over in the air, and everyone could see its specific appearance clearly.

   This monster is not all beasts of nature.

   Rather, it was a... completely mutated creature.

  Its bat wing bones are exposed, and there are sarcoids on the membrane. Its body is very thin, but it is quite large, with a height of more than two meters. It was even bigger when it spread its wings in the air.

  Sharp nails, protruding cheekbones, sharp teeth, and a waxy yellow body, like a dead body.

   "Kind of like a demon."

   Chen Ji commented, and added: "It also looks a bit like a mouseman, but with bat wings."

   "Is it related to the mutant mouse king last time?" Zhou Wan looked at him.

   "Haha, it's possible. Wait for the research. Although he died, the body is still there."

  Chen Ji hit it with a ball of light again, and after confirming that the thing was completely dead, he turned around and motioned for them to call researchers to collect the body.

  Other flying mutated creatures were also killed one after another, and a few of them were captured alive.

  Like mutant batmen, these mutant creatures that can fly are also not creatures that exist in nature.

  They look weird, some are like eagles, some are like monkeys, but at the same time their claws are like cats, there are all kinds of strange things.

   "Like a patchwork."

  Chen Ji took one last look at the taken Batman: "Could it be its ability?"

  Bats like to be in dark and hidden places. The temple that collapsed last time fits the characteristics of bats.

  Zhou Wan also frowned,

  She didn't have the slightest liking for this kind of fused monster, and the mutant ratman last time was the same. It was a huge lump of flesh wriggling, and its vitality was disgustingly tenacious.

   "Is this the end?"

  After the Batman was taken away by the researchers, Huang Yuwen was still a little unbelievable: "You killed a king-level mutant creature so easily?"

   "Is this easy?!"

Duan Zhengyan came over, and said fearfully: "If it weren't for Chen Ji, we would have been attacked by mutated creatures in the darkness, and we don't know how many people would have died! Except for Chen Ji, almost none of us could create large-scale light Not to mention that Chen Ji's ability can knock down flying monsters in one go!"

  The flame ability could also be emitted just now, but it can only illuminate a small area, which is far less effective than Chen Ji's solar photosphere.

  After Duan Zhengyan said, the people around looked at Chen Ji with gratitude.

   "Haha, I thought of Brother Chen's ability a long time ago!"

  Huang Yuwen's tone was exaggerated: "At that time, I looked at Brother Chen and Sister Zhou Wan. After seeing Brother Chen's calm look, I immediately calmed down and waited for Brother Chen to make a move!"

   "Okay, okay, stop flattering me, everyone has credit for it."

  Chen Ji smiled and waved his hands, then turned to Wei Hong and said, "Director Wei, let's keep launching the rocket, and launch the detector into space within today!"

  Wei Hong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh yes, continue to launch rockets, all units pay attention, the countdown is... 15 minutes!"

  The time before the distance is definitely wrong.

   It doesn't have to be precise though.

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan returned to the house and continued to wait.

   Fifteen minutes passed by.

  Wei Hong sent countdown reminders many times, but nothing happened.

  The ignition countdown officially begins.

   "Ten, nine, eight... launch!"

  The ignition order was officially issued.

   The white rocket standing in the simple launch tower, with a large group of flames ejected from the tail.

   "No!"

  Three seconds later, anyone who is familiar with rocket launches can see at a glance that the fireworks ejected by this rocket are not right.

too small.

   And the flame color is wrong.

  The rocket burned for ten seconds and then stopped slowly.

  Many people were stunned, thinking the launch had failed.

  Until Wei Hong announced from the radio with a smile:

   "This simulated rocket launch and the plan to lure the snake out of the cave were a perfect success. Thanks to Mr. Chen for your great help, everyone has worked hard! The next official launch will be in ten days!"

  Everyone suddenly realized.

   It turned out that it hadn’t launched today, so it used a fake ignition to attract the king-level mutant creature to appear, and after killing it, it was ready for the next official launch.

  Everyone thought about it carefully, but luckily they didn't launch today.

  Otherwise, it will only make the lights disappear, and the appearance of the Batman, which can shield electromagnetic waves, will immediately cause the rocket to fail, and even the ignition command cannot be transmitted to the rocket, so it can only be ignited manually.

  If the king-level mutant creature is not eliminated for a day, the rocket will not be able to launch smoothly.

  Smith and other foreign experts looked at each other.

  With the existence of such mutated creatures, apart from the people with light and heat abilities in the Xia Kingdom, do other countries have a way to kill batmen in the dark and cannot use radar electromagnetic waves?

  …

   "Fortunately, you are here, Chen Ji!"

  After returning to the settlement, Gao Liqun, the leader of the Haicheng Command Center, patted Chen Ji on the shoulder excitedly.

  At that time, Haicheng lost contact with the launch base, and the command center was a little panicked, so they urgently sent someone to check what was going on.

  After the communication was restored, they learned that there are mutant creatures that can shield electromagnetic waves and swallow all light!

  To be precise, it can devour electromagnetic waves, and light is also a kind of electromagnetic waves.

"So to say…"

  After sitting down, Gao Liqun frowned tightly, looked at Chen Ji and said, "Chen Ji, do you think this monster might be the culprit for the extinguishing of the sun? I mean, a monster of the same race!"

  In the conference room, everyone looked over in unison.

   "Maybe our sky is full of such monsters?"

   Someone joked.

  The batman who can devour all the rays of light within a certain range is very similar to the extinguishment of the sun encountered by the earth now.

  If the culprit of the extinguishing of the sun is this kind of monster, on the contrary, it will make people suddenly open up, and the feeling of everything being revealed.

   In the future, as long as you study this Batman, find out its weaknesses and target them, you will be able to rekindle the sun!

  Chen Ji did not answer directly, but said: "I don't know if it is, but it is certain that its power comes from the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Right."

  Gao Liqun nodded: "Whether it is or not, we can't slow down the pace of climbing to the sun because of these, while studying its corpse, while climbing to the sun, grasping with both hands, continue to speed up the work of climbing to the sun!"

  The meeting ended quickly, and everyone went back to busy work.

   Zhou Wan and Chen Ji returned to the dormitory.

When he was about to leave, Chen Ji hugged her again, hugged her and smiled: "What's the matter? It seems that you are not in a good mood. Didn't you kill the bat monster with two stabs smoothly before? The black iron dagger also found Came back, no waste."

   Zhou Wan leaned her head on his shoulder, chuckled, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just... a little worried."

   "Worried? About the monster?"

   "Hmm... Mutated creatures are still getting stronger, and their abilities are getting weirder and weirder. I'm really afraid that one day they will be so strong that they will step on the earth with one foot, or absorb all the light on the earth."

   "Can't I still shine?"

   "..."

  Zhou Wan raised her head, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and pushed him away with a rosy face, telling him to go back quickly.

  Chen Ji couldn't even return the gift, so he could only wait for the next time.

  …

  Five days later, the rocket was erected again.

   It was still the staff from last time, except that the group of foreigners all had dark eyes and looked tired.

   During these five days, they only slept for less than fifteen hours, worked overtime, checked every detail of the rocket, and ensured a smooth launch.

  These foreign experts and professors have realized the seriousness of the problem.

  The sooner the sun landing plan, the better, not the more complete the better.

   We must race against time, launch the rocket up first, as long as we can go to the sun to take a look and send the photos back, it will be the greatest success!

  In order to achieve this, the sun landing probe can be greatly reduced in size, it only needs to be the size of a fist, and it can be equipped with cameras and communication equipment.

  According to this idea, the sun landing rocket was quickly assembled.

   And conducted a series of tests, and after all passed smoothly, the expert group unanimously gave a judgment that it could be launched.

In these processes, the Maien Type I artificial intelligence once again played a huge role. It can monitor whether the workers' operations are compliant according to the flow chart, monitor various data at any time, and warn immediately if it is found to be inconsistent, saving a lot of rework. time.

"everything's ready?"

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan came to the launch center again.

  Wei Hong's face was frosted, but he still looked excited, and said: "Everything has been checked, just wait for Chen Jiyi to come and give the rocket a blessing, and it will be launched into the sky immediately!"

   "Blessing? Are you sure?"

  Chen Ji's ball of light cannot strengthen people, it can only restore objects to their pre-doomsday state, commonly known as purifying the doomsday.

"Sure!"

   Wei Hong said with certainty.

  They also found a supernatural crystal from the batman. After testing, they found that it can release a very strong source of pollution, which can easily mutate creatures, and even humans will be affected.

   Only Chen Ji's power can easily restrain it.

  That's why Wei Hong asked Chen Ji to add a blessing to the rocket, and add it to the rocket's head. If the rocket encounters a large group of monsters after it lifts off, it might work.

  Chen Ji agreed to come down, and walked to the bottom of the rocket with Zhou Wan, intending to take the launch tower to the top.

  Just arrived under the rocket, a girl with white hair and red eyes suddenly appeared beside him, startling Wei Hong and others.

   "Mayen?"

  Chen Ji was a little strange.

  Why did Maien suddenly want to appear?

   And as soon as he came out, he looked up at the huge rocket more than 70 meters high, dazed, as if recalling something.

"What's wrong?"

   Zhou Wan held her cold little hand and asked her.

"Owner!"

  The girl pointed at the rocket with her other hand, and said seriously to Chen Ji: "Ma Yien likes this!"

   "Can it recharge you?" Chen Ji had a strange expression.

  The girl shook her head.

  She can't tell why she likes it.

  Chen Ji couldn't figure it out even more, it was obviously the same rocket last time.

never mind.

  Take it as her little hobby, just like the last time I squatted on the ground to watch farming.

  Chen Ji pulled her and Zhou Wan up to the top of the rocket, and from the launch tower, a ball of light condensed into the landing probe cabin at the head of the rocket.

  Chen Ji also jokingly said: "In the name of the creator Chen Ji, you have the ability to break through the darkness."

   Zhou Wan smiled with her mouth covered.

   After the blessing was over, the three of them came down.

  The rocket is officially ready for launch.

  Chen Ji waited in the house for half an hour, but did not see any mutant creatures coming.

   "Nineteen Eighty Seven...launch!"

  The countdown ended, and in the eyes of countless eyes, the rocket spewed out dazzling flames, slowly lifted into the sky, broke through the boundless night, and flew towards the starry sky of the universe.

  Procedural turn, booster separation, rocket primary and secondary separation...

  In the launch command center, one order after another was broadcast, which means that the rocket has successfully lifted off without any accidents.

  After the separation of the secondary rocket, the launch is already half successful.

  The remaining half will not be known until at least several months later.

  After all, the distance between the sun and the earth is too far. It needs to accelerate around the earth, and then fly to Venus. With the help of the gravitational slingshot of Venus, it can continue to fly towards the sun.

   In theory, this is the case.

However.

  When Chen Ji was about to leave with Zhou Wan, and the soldiers in the launch center were boarding their cars and preparing to retreat one after another, a scientific researcher in the launch center hurried out and called Chen Ji:

   "Mr. Chen, it's not good, our sun landing probe is completely out of control, completely out of control!"

   Those who hadn’t left were all stunned.

Failed?

  Chen Ji let out a cry, but he didn't react.

  The sun landing probe was out of control, and he seemed to have nothing to do.

   After all, the detection module is thousands of kilometers away in outer space, and he is not a scientific researcher, so he can't give any advice.

  But since he was called, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan could only go into the launch center to have a look again.

  The soldiers outside looked at each other in blank dismay, and those who had already boarded the car got off again, waiting for the outcome of the matter.

   "Director Wei, the launch failed?"

  After entering the launch command room, Chen Ji asked immediately.

   It took so much effort, and the world's top aerospace experts have worked hard for this moment. If it fails like this, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow.

  There was a weird atmosphere in the command room.

  No one spoke, and their faces were extremely solemn.

   "Come and see this."

  Wei Hong pointed to the big screen.

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan turned their heads to look, and found that there was an animation simulating flight on the screen, and the animation marked the speed of the sun landing probe module at the moment:

  65KM/S.

   And it is still rising!

   Faster and faster, flying straight in the direction of the sun.

   "What happened? Why?"

   Chen Ji asked in surprise.

  He knows that the Mars probe can fly 20 to 30 kilometers per second, but that is after being accelerated and out of the gravitational range of the earth.

  Now the sun landing module has just been lifted into the air, so it is impossible to fly so fast.

   "We don't know either."

Wei Hong smiled wryly and said, "The detection module suddenly lost control and continued to accelerate. Now it is intact except for the camera and some instruments, and everything else is out of our control...Chen Ji, maybe your ball of light saved it for us again." Last chance! Let's take a peek at what's happening on the probe as it gets closer to the sun."

   While speaking, the speed of the detection cabin soared again.

   One hundred, two hundred, three hundred.

  The crowd watched helplessly as its speed reached 5,000 kilometers per second, and it rushed towards the sun at a speed that was almost suicidal.

too fast.

  Fifty times faster than the fastest flying machine ever made by man!

   It takes just over a minute to fly from the earth to the moon.

   "What on the sun is attracting it?"

   Zhou Wan made a guess, "Maybe he was captured."

  Chen Ji said: "Human beings have many satellites in space, why aren't they attracted to the sun?"

   No one can answer.

  Everyone can only continue to watch the speed numbers on the screen continue to soar.

  From 5,000, to 30,000, 50,000, 100,000!

  The detection module flies towards the sun at one-third the speed of light.

   After 24 minutes, it will be able to crash into the sun and send back a few photos to the earth before dying.

  In fact, now everyone has turned their attention to the camera of the exploration cabin, trying to control the camera to point to the direction of the sun, and take a photo every once in a while, and the others are not important anymore.

  Although the photos sent back are all dark.

   "There is nothing wrong with the calculation!"

  Sweat appeared on Wei Hong's forehead. He originally thought that he could adjust the camera slowly, and then calculate the approximate orientation of the sun based on some data.

   Unexpectedly, the speed of the detection cabin has soared to one third of the speed of light.

   Incredible, completely unimaginable speed!

  If human beings can conduct interstellar travel at this speed, they will have already entered the space age.

but now.

  There is some kind of existence in the sun, which makes the probe break through its own limit and become extremely fast, flying like teleportation.

   "Ah, there is the shadow of the sun!"

  Three minutes later, there was a surprise sound in the command room, and then a photo was displayed on the big screen.

   There is a very hazy red circular outline in the dark, exuding an exciting atmosphere in the dark starry sky.

no doubt.

   This is the sun that the earth has not seen for a long time!

   "The sun didn't go out?!"

  In the settlement, Gao Liqun stood up abruptly.

  Disaster Response Center, the leaders were overjoyed, and their frustration was swept away when they heard that the detection module was out of control.

   At least it proves that the sun is still there, and it is still shining!

   The rays of the sun!

  Humans on the earth really haven’t seen the sun for a long time, it’s so exciting.

  In less than a minute, this photo spread all over the world and appeared in various settlements in various countries.

  People wore thick clothes in the severe cold, looked up at the photos on the TV, and a sense of surprise rose from the bottom of their hearts.

   "It's really the sun!"

   "Hurry up, let Xia Guo people take a few more photos of the sun!"

   Countless people are excited at this moment.

  The frequency of taking photos has been increased, and the photos will be sent back at a speed of ten seconds.

  The outline of the sun is getting clearer.

   Zhou Wan made a rough calculation and calculated that the probe module is still 110 million kilometers away from the sun.

   That is to say, sunlight can only reach this range, and the earth 150 million kilometers away can only be dark and cannot be seen clearly.

   "Not a Dyson sphere, the sun is not wrapped!"

  Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji, "What do you think?"

...

  Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat.

  Photos are still being sent back.

   It became clearer and clearer. The dark red sun was already very conspicuous, and there was a halo around it. The blurry thing that Chen Ji noticed faintly revealed its real shape.

"What's this?"

  In the launch center, everyone also noticed something protruding from the sun, tried hard to identify it, and made bold guesses, but they couldn't get a convincing result.

  The next photo was slowly swiped out.

   On the dark red sun, there are many black fuzzy spots, like sunspots, distributed in every part of the sun.

  After a few photos, the black fuzzy things become more and more clear, and they are entangled with the dark red sun.

   Form a weird picture.

  The sun is getting bigger and bigger, the halo is getting stronger and stronger, and the things protruding from the sun are becoming more and more clear.

"What's this?!"

  Everyone was shocked.

  Nine domains, in the mysterious space.

"What's this?"

   After walking for more than ten days, Mu Xiaoxiao finally found something different.

  She saw a strange pile of corpses.

  The corpses have all been air-dried, but you can vaguely see what they looked like before they were alive.

  The appearance is weird, the limbs are distorted, and the face is hideous. From their shriveled skin and bones, there are strange plant branches. The flowers that bloomed have withered and the petals are wilted.

  Mu Xiaoxiao bent down, folded a flower, and blew it gently with her mouth.

  The black flower raised its head as if revived, the flower turned slowly, the bud was aimed at her, and a strange force invaded her palm.

  The black flowers recovered, and Mu Xiaoxiao's power gradually recovered.

  She threw the black flower on the ground expressionlessly, stepped on it hard, and crushed it!

   "Ugh!!"

  A strange scream sounded in the mysterious space, and all the withered black flowers were revived together and began to grow, and their branches entangled with the Empress of the Nine Realms who strayed into here.

  Doomsday world.

  Another photo was sent back.

   This time it was completely clear.

  A huge black flower bud grew above the sun.

   Those fuzzy black spots before are its rhizome, and it is also a slightly smaller black flower that grows from the rhizome.

   Another photo is sent back.

  Black buds grow from the sun in a shuddering gesture.

  The sun, which was supposed to continuously emit light and heat with violent nuclear fusion, can only emit dark red light now. The surface of the sun with plasma gas seems to have solidified, turning into soil where black flower buds protrude and root their roots.

  The power of the sun is continuously absorbed by it, and the light and heat are absorbed by the black flower buds as nutrients, allowing it to grow continuously.

   Its power is so terrifying.

  The long distance also mutated the creatures on the earth, gave humans supernatural powers, and dimmed the entire sun!

   "Cthulhu-Shadow of Chaos."

  In the launch center that fell into dead silence, Chen Ji spoke slowly.

The evil **** that ravaged the Shenen Continent also appeared here, and when it came to this world, it happened to fall on the sun that is the most important to the earth, devouring its light and heat, and brought Zhou Wan's world five Months of darkness, resulting in countless deaths.

   "Cthulhu? Shadow of Chaos?"

   Zhou Wan was extremely surprised.

"What's this?!"

  In the launch center, everyone slowly recovered from the trembling.

   But still can't believe what's in the photo!

  A flower actually grows on the sun? !

   It is almost a quarter of the size of the sun. The huge flower buds make the sun look like a flower pot. The terrifying nuclear fusion of the sun failed to kill it? !

  Another photo was sent back.

   "No, this flower is about to bloom!"

   Duan Zhengyan was sweating coldly on his forehead.

  The black buds in this photo seem to sense something coming, and they are slowly unfolding their petals.

   And this photo was sent back four or five minutes ago. It is not yet known whether the buds are fully unfolded.

  A thought flashed in Chen Ji's mind, and he blurted out: "Is it going to eat the sun landing probe module?"

   eat? !
