The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

  Chapter 22 A Surprising Accident

  Infinite stellar ion energy poured into the palm universe along the channel, forming a red ion energy column with a diameter of up to ten kilometers in the cold and dark inner starry sky of the palm universe, illuminating a large area of ​​void.

  The red flames and blazing high temperature injected a lot of light and energy into the palm universe starry sky that had been silent for hundreds of millions of years.

But Li Qing didn't pay much attention to this point. At this time, his focus was that the stellar energy poured into the universe in the palm, but it didn't disappear into nothingness like the wreckage of the battleship before, but poured directly into the universe in the palm. It felt like A warm current poured into the icy body.

"How is this going?"

  Li Qing stood up in surprise.

   This is the real quality. As the owner of the universe in the palm, he can clearly feel that this powerful quality is pouring into the universe in the palm of his hand.

   Substance, not illusion.

   "Could it be that this star is real?"

   "No, this is not normal stellar matter."

   Li Qing frowned as he watched the fiery ion column continuously pouring into the universe in his palm, and at the entrance of the outer passage, he could clearly feel the change of the stars.

   "I need to go deeper and try."

Li Qing decisively controlled the channel of the universe in the palm to sink slowly along the gravitational force of the star, and soon approached the surface of the star. Although he was in the universe in the palm and could not see the outside, he could clearly feel the speed of the ejected ion flow is accelerating. .

  From the outside, it is just a normal ejection on the surface of the star, but the ejection intensity is smaller than usual.

  If there is a research ship or observation station nearby, it may be able to detect the anomaly.

But at this time, there is not even an industrial ship within a range of more than 100,000 kilometers near the star except for the warring fleet. A tiny destroyer among the stars.

As the palm universe slowly sinks into the stars, massive amounts of stellar hydrogen, helium and other substances are continuously pouring into the palm universe, turning into turbulent ion columns and spraying into the depths of the starry sky. The self-contained gravitational influence draws a long arc in the dark starry sky and falls towards the witnesses of the stars.

   But when approaching the witness of the stars, when passing through the core of an icy extinguished star, a trace of ion energy drifted away under the influence of the gravitational force left by the core of the star.

   And this trace made the stellar core, which had been extinguished for an unknown period of time, unaffected by some kind of stimulus, and suddenly brightened, changing from black to dark red, exuding a stronger attraction.

  The ion column that was falling along an arc towards the Star Witness Fortress was affected by the suddenly stronger gravitational force, and it swayed halfway, and went straight to the core of the dark red star, stabbing hard at its end.

   "Boom!"

  The star core exploded with flames all over the sky. Stimulated by this, a layer of dark red flame lit up on the dark red surface of the star core, which reacted with the hydrogen and helium of the foreign star, and instantly ignited overwhelming flames.

   "This, can it be lit like this?"

  Li Qing was quite surprised, but after the accident, he was ecstatic.

  If a star can be ignited, it will be different. Not only does the universe in the palm have more energy and mass, but the key point is that it provides him with a new idea for repairing the universe in the palm and the high-dimensional fortress [Star Witness].

   These extinguished star cores surrounding the [Star Witness] high-dimensional fortress are part of the weapon system of this high-dimensional fortress. If they can be ignited one by one, it represents a small step forward in the restoration of this high-dimensional fortress.

  Maybe even if all the millions of extinguished stars are repaired, even one ten-thousandth of the star witnesses cannot be repaired, but only one ten-thousandth of this can provide him with great assistance.

   To put it bluntly, even if it is only one in ten thousand, the power it possesses is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

   Even if only one extinguished star is ignited now, that one star can be used to do a lot of things.

   It's a pity that it was discovered too late. If it was discovered early, there would be no need to do anything, just enter the copy and go straight to the stars.

  Or if you can think of this early, you don’t need to enter the dungeon, just find a star in the wild and make a wave.

   "Boom!"

After absorbing an unknown amount of stellar matter, the absorbed energy finally reached a certain critical point, and the core of the extinguished star was finally completely ignited. In layman's terms, the star's already stopped fusion process was restarted .

  The stellar matter that turned into unknown matter after being extinguished is re-ignited and turned into hydrogen and helium, restarting the fusion process inside the star.

   To put it bluntly, even if there is no external star energy to stimulate at this moment, the reactivated star will continue to burn.

   "Boom!"

The star that has just restarted nuclear fusion spews out endless energy wantonly, as if venting the grievances that have been immersed in hundreds of millions of years. The huge fireball continuously spews out hot plumes, rushing towards millions or even thousands of people. In the starry sky thousands of kilometers away.

  The two battleships retreated far away, for fear of being affected by the terrifying jet.

   At this time, the star is like a newly born star, violent and terrifying, and the extreme weather generated spreads to a very large area.

   Affected by this, Li Qing also found that some changes seemed to have taken place in the high-dimensional fortress of the star witnesses, but he couldn't tell what changed for a while.

  He frowned and remained silent for a while, and suddenly said to the captain of the destroyer who was staring dumbfounded at the re-ignited star not far away:

   "Be careful to avoid the jet, wait for me to come back."

   After speaking, the figure disappeared in a flash, leaving many senior crew members who were even more surprised.

  With a thought, Li Qing had already entered the Star Witness Fortress. As soon as he entered, he immediately noticed the change.

  First of all, the area of ​​the central core has changed from the original 1,000 square meters to 10,000 square meters, a full tenfold increase.

   Other than that, inside the fortress. Except for the only intact small piece of the edge of the dock, another small area is unlocked.

With a thought in his mind, he had left the core of the fortress, and reappeared in the newly repaired area, at the junction with the dock area. He could see at a glance that except for a small dock, it should be a part of the current dock. There is also a large area that is a huge warehouse area that stretches for thousands of kilometers.

The length, width and height are about 1,000 kilometers, and every 100 kilometers is separated by a large layer, and each large layer is divided into small layers of different heights. Inside, there are countless warehouses with different functions, as well as obvious living areas. .

  Li Qing entered the warehouse area with joy and anticipation. It was silent inside, and there was nothing, and there was nothing in the warehouse.

   This surprised him, he thought there might be some unused things in it, but it turned out to be clean and spotless, as if it had just been newly built.

   After a simple turn around, Li Qing was quite satisfied.

  Such a large warehouse can just store a large amount of materials, so there is no need to throw them all into space like before.

   Just going out after a while, you can move all the shipbuilding materials in, and use the living area inside by the way.

   It is worth mentioning that this warehouse area is obviously only a part. It is estimated that there are warehouse areas with larger spaces or shipbuilding areas in the surrounding unlocked areas.

  And a small part of this newly unlocked area is an extension of the previous shipbuilding area. This unlock adds some shipyards. At this time, the total construction capacity of the shipyard has changed from the previous 2300 to the current 3100.

  In general, Li Qing is quite satisfied with unlocking this time. It is better than increasing the shipbuilding area all the time. He has no use for so much shipbuilding capacity at this stage.

"what?"

   Li Qing, who was inspecting the newly added area in Gaowei Fortress, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.

  He quickly opened the panel, and the prompt column was constantly beating:

   "Because of your behavior, an enemy destroyer was destroyed, and the score is +0.5."

   "Because of your actions, an enemy frigate was destroyed, and the points are +0.1."

   "Because of your actions, an enemy frigate was destroyed, and the points are +0.1."

   "Because of Ni's actions, an enemy battleship was destroyed. Points +20."

   "Because of your."

   In an instant, N data swiped the screen, and he couldn't finish reading it. Li Qing simply checked his current points directly, and his eyes widened immediately:

"How is this going?"

  In the total points, a score of 225.4 came into view, and this number is still beating and rising.

   "What happened? What did I do?"

  Li Qing rubbed his head, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

  He didn't do anything, why did he suddenly have so many points, directly exceeding two hundred, which can be exchanged for two flagship blueprints.

   "No, I have to go and see what's going on."

   With a thought, he returned to the destroyer. Facing the surprised eyes of many crew members, he waved his hands and said:

   "Get ready, let's get out of here."

  A channel suddenly opened in front of the battleship, and then saw more violent ion energy pouring in, which made the captain jump up suddenly:

   "Turn, turn quickly."

  Li Qing also quickly adjusted the angle, the violent ion column narrowly missed the ship, and the captain sat down with his hands on his chest.

  Li Qing was a little guilty. Fortunately, they didn't know what was going on. They might have guessed something, but they didn't know much.

  Close the passage, let the violent ion column that was sprayed into the universe in the palm just now slowly collapse into the void.

  He didn't dare to re-ignite an extinguished star like before. The feedback from the universe in the palm made it impossible to continue the behavior just now.

The reason is very simple. If another star is ignited, when the star is extinguished and the nuclear fusion behavior is regenerated, it will produce very terrifying violent energy. At this time, the Star Witness has not been repaired much, and its most important power system and gravity control system are both Unfixed, there is no way to constrain multiple stars at all.

  If many stars are forcibly ignited, the result is that the fortress cannot be restrained. These stars will either hit the fortress, or break away from the fortress and fly randomly in the palm universe. The consequences will be very serious.

  He has to wait for the nuclear fusion reaction inside the currently ignited extinguished star to slowly weaken before he can re-ignite a new star.

  At this stage, it can only be ignited one by one, but if one day you are lucky enough to repair and unlock the core area or the gravity control system, then you can ignite a bunch of stars at a time, and even re-collapse to form new black holes.

  Unable to go out, there is no way to know why so many points were awarded.

   However, it is guessed that there is a high probability that he used the universe in his palm to extract the energy of the star, which caused an imbalance in the internal pressure of the star, causing the star to riot, and then the violent energy generated by the riot spread to the warring fleet near the star.

  Because this stellar riot was caused by him, the warships destroyed by the stars are also counted on him.

   I don't know how many battleships were affected, anyway, after waiting for a while, Li Qing found that his total points had exceeded 300.

   "This is going to kill you!"

  Li Qing is not only thinking about this time, but also the next time, next time, come in once a month to make a wave, wouldn't it be possible to earn unlimited points?

  However, when he entered the instance for 24 hours, as an invisible force repelled him and the universe in his palm, Li Qing's face of joy disappeared instantly, and his face was pulled down.

   "Nimma!"

   "Can it still be like this?"

  The moment he was excluded, he knew in his heart that he would never be able to enter this instance again.

  Because of his behavior, a large number of sources of the copy were extracted, which caused serious damage to the copy, and he was rejected by this copy space.

   In layman's terms, he was blocked by the server for cheating.

  He has black lines all over his head, but there is nothing he can do about it.

   "If I had known it would be like this, I would have been more ruthless just now."

Of course he won’t regret it, this dungeon has been blocked, change it, there are several dungeons in Jinmen alone, besides, many legions or large team headquarters have dungeons or subspaces, and then pay a little price to buy it. It's okay to go in with a ticket and grab a wave of wool.

  Check the panel, a total of 372.8 points.

  Seeing this, Li Qing sighed again. If he had known this earlier, he should have made a big splash.

  But after thinking about it, it's not bad now, more than 300 points can be exchanged for three flagship blueprints, and this wave of profits has turned over.

  Next, it is the redemption link that is popular.

The destroyer stayed near the dungeon, and with a thought, the light curtain popped open in front of his eyes, and he turned to the point exchange page, and at a glance, he saw a dreadnought blueprint and a star mothership blueprint on the top, both of which required 100 points to exchange. I didn't hesitate to spend two hundred points to redeem it.

   Then, he found a countdown behind the two blueprints. Looking carefully, the number was 1824 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

   "It takes five years to refresh one? Isn't there no limit?"

  Although this item has not been exchanged for several hundred years, it is certain that there was no such restriction before.

   Now there is, which means

   "Could it be because I extracted too many sources?"

   "But I only drew one star. The dungeon map contains dozens of galaxies. There is no reason to draw one galaxy. That's wrong."

  Li Qing realized that this galaxy seems to be one of the three major battlefields, and the criticality is far from that of the surrounding galaxies with no wars. He extracted so much core star mass from this galaxy, which is equivalent to directly extracting the origin of the dungeon world.

  The copy of the Battle of Jinmen is not transformed by subspace cracks, but projected by special historical events. If the source is extracted, it will naturally be affected.
