Chapter 414: Sailor

"It shouldn't be difficult to reach level 7. Soon I will be able to figure out what this blueprint is..."

Lin Xian took a deep breath. He now has 6 construction sequences. He can completely build and perfect the Sky Dome train while devouring and upgrading the Mechanical Heart. In the Dawn City battle, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum on the Infinite devoured a lot of dark energy. If it were the monster tide battle like before, the mechanical source points Lin Xian converted through the Heterostructure Magic Cube would generally make him feel that his harvest was more than other ability users.

But this time, after the dark energy synchronization tower was lit in the city, the dark energy overflow of the S-class and the Corpse-Carrier was completely offset. The benefit was that the dark energy of that concentration was not released, causing more people to mutate. The disadvantage was that those top ability users did not gain much evolutionary gain.

But there was no way to do this. Dark energy was originally an existence with more disadvantages than advantages for humans. Lin Xian's Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Heterostructure Magic Cube could already be considered very unique artifacts. However, after this battle, his blueprint library was almost perfected with the help of the Phoenix Society and the Silent City, covering the power still existing in the current human technological field. He could now put his mind into devouring machinery to improve the Mechanical Heart, which could be considered a good thing.

Looking at the giant structure star floating in the Black Star Forge, Lin Xian felt a little emotional. Now to improve the Mechanical Heart, he could only devour from directions like starships, ships, and high-power trains. Fortunately, he got a Dreadnought-class in Dawn City. He estimated that this could at least obtain tens of thousands of source points, and maybe he could gain some skills...

Just as Lin Xian was about to exit the consciousness space of the Black Star Forge, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill in the depths of the giant structure star. So Lin Xian directly controlled his consciousness to walk toward the deepest part, discovering that it was a pitch-black, empty abyss, as if it were deep space in the universe, and Lin Xian felt his hair stand on end when he came here.

Because he felt that he seemed to be being watched by something.

"Grace?"

【I am here】

"Is there any abnormal situation in the South Tianmen?" Lin Xian looked at the pitch-black deep space and reacted immediately. His consciousness connected to the flickering bullet and Grace. This feeling seemed to come from the deep space of the South Tianmen.

Blue Star Static Deep Space Orbit, South Tianmen.

Main core cabin section, control room.

Dozens of deep-space corpses wearing spacesuits floated quietly in the messy control room. Grace responded to Lin Xian while using maintenance tools to restore the sub-system lines.

【There are various unknown magnetic field forces and dark matter particle fluctuations here. The pandax-4t liquid xenon detector detected an unusual dark matter information in the extremely low recoil energy zone. It was issued on the day of the Apocalypse. The research team stationed before used gravitational waves to decode it, and it seems that some important information was obtained. I am trying to restore it.】

【In addition, I found a large number of non-Blue Star microorganisms in the cabin section, as well as some biological fluctuations with spiritual value reactions. Currently, there is no threat to me. Is there any task that needs to be specifically explained to me?】

Lin Xian had told Grace before that the Phoenix Society and Chu Yan needed to connect to her to try to contact the defense platform, but when Lin Xian asked at this time, it was for another purpose.

Because he felt that it seemed like an eye was staring at him through that flickering bullet at this time!

"Outside the platform, have you found anything in other deep space directions?"

【I have started part of the external monitoring system of the defense platform. After the last high-energy density launch, the orbit of the South Tianmen became extremely unstable. I can currently only adjust through the power system. I cannot determine whether the Blue Star gravitational structure has changed or the South Tianmen as a whole is being pulled by some strong gravitational source.】

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this: "I feel that it should be the latter possibility. You check it immediately. By the way, turn off the backup nuclear power cabin, unfold the solar panels, and sail away from the dark energy storm area to wait for orders."

【Grace understands】

In deep space orbit, the giant South Tianmen defense platform's four-sided energy cabin solar wing surfaces began to extend. The wing surfaces went from folded to unfolded, like four giant light wings, slowly unfolding toward the direction of the sun.

And in the direction of the dark deep space, a touch of dark surface like two-dimensional was like an abyss, obscuring the light of all stars, like a giant mouth opened by the universe, also slowly opening...

"Lin Xian."

Just then, the carriage door opened, and Chen Sixuan stood at the door and said to Lin Xian, "It's dark outside."

Lin Xian opened his eyes and looked out the train window. The entire Ring Star Orbit connection port was completely pitch black, with only the sound of sea tides coming from afar. In the dilapidated port, zombie shadows flickered, making strange howls outside the train.

Lin Xian scanned and looked at the time, 19:46.

Judging from the scale of the 8th Star Abyss, it was already very late. In the observations of the Phoenix Society in recent days, the expansion change of the 8th Star Abyss seemed to have become extremely slow, which was undoubtedly good news for survivors. But the Phoenix Society did not relax its vigilance because of this. After all, the 13 Star Abysses were still entrenched on the Blue Star, and human gathering places were still desolate and apocalyptic.

Swish.

Watching a few zombies surround from outside, Lin Xian pulled down the blackout board and asked Chen Sixuan, "Is there any information from the Phoenix Society?"

"No." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian and saw that his expression was not right, so she asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xian shook his head, "Nothing."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, who looked a bit tired, with concern, and said, "If we set off at dawn tomorrow, we can reach the Taku Deepwater Floating Port in 4 hours, and reach Haiyan Island 7 hours later. We should be able to arrive before dark."

Lin Xian pinched his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Do you think it's a good idea for us to take the ocean orbit?"

When Chen Sixuan heard his words, she walked in, closed the door, and sat on the sofa, saying, "Of course it's not a good idea. Although there is only one Star Abyss in the ocean, whenever I think of the atmospheric mica and Sky-Touch monsters before, I can't help but think of the deep sea. Plus the train is traveling in the ocean, encountering natural disasters and eerie things, we don't have any other choice. The danger level is definitely higher than on land. Then there are the things you saw through the Corpse-Carrier, which shows that there must be some unpredictable existences in the ocean and the 13th Star Abyss. Adding these up, it all shows that our trip is not small in crisis."

Lin Xian frowned as he listened to her analysis, "But?"

"This is the end of the world." Chen Sixuan turned her tone and smiled slightly at Lin Xian, "We don't have many choices, right?"

"Following the Dawn Center on land is certainly more reassuring, but the Phoenix Society's rescue progress will take at least two months. And following the large convoy, you don't have many opportunities to improve your mechanical ability. Even without considering the identity of the 'Sword Holder', the disaster that ultimately affects the human survival crisis still exists before we reach the polar region, doesn't it?"

Lin Xian's brow relaxed when he heard this, and he said frankly, "I always feel that this struggle between humans and dark civilization is not that simple. It's not just a simple military reserve problem, or some key information."

"Professor Ye once said a sentence. She said that the suspicion chain between civilizations cannot be broken. This is the basic axiom of cosmic sociology. Like a hunter lurking in a dark forest, every civilization has to treat other existences as a threat—because survival is the first need of civilization, and the total amount of matter in the universe remains constant. The difference between high-level civilizations and low-level civilizations is just the range of the hunting gun. Ants cannot understand why humans want to destroy the anthill, and we cannot understand why dark creatures want to destroy human civilization..."

"From the Apocalypse to now, humans have been struggling to survive, fleeing in panic, to now we feel that we have gradually seen through the truth and found the power to survive in the darkness. But there is one problem we cannot bypass, which is why the dark civilization descended on the Blue Star, what is the purpose..."

Chen Sixuan said solemnly, "Do you think this balance won't last long?"

"Not only do I think so, but the Phoenix Society, Professor Ye and the others, all know it in their hearts, so there will be the Starfire Project." Lin Xian shrugged, "I don't believe that a civilization capable of space transformation is just a bloodthirsty beast. What we see and what we defeat may only be the tip of the iceberg. We haven't really explored the existence of this civilization, nor have we really had a dialogue."

Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan, "Assuming we replace the dark civilization, what would 'we' have as a purpose?"

Chen Sixuan shook her head and said softly, "Humans cannot stand from that angle. What we can think of is nothing more than 'colonization' and 'invasion', behaviors and motives we once recognized or learned. But this does not mean that another civilization will think this way."
