Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1030 - 540: Promotion of the Time Field and Ruins Market
Chapter 1030: Chapter 540: Promotion of the Time Field and Ruins Market
The time spent traveling at full speed passes quickly, and three years have gone by.
This day, Song Chi’s figure once again appears in the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, and then his mind immediately focuses entirely on the [Red Vault Jump Device] component.
Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, his heart is already tumultuous.
After three years, he was only one last "Red Vault Jump" away from that seven-colored light point, and now, the Red Vault Jump feature has cooled down again.
Suppressing his slightly turbulent emotions, he resolutely activated the "Red Vault Jump" once more.
The already not short jump charge time now seems even longer.
Only when a strong dizziness and weightlessness engulfed his body did Song Chi realize the jump had been initiated.
After regaining his senses, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had already appeared millions of light-years away. freёweɓnovel.com
The external darkness and silence remained the same, at first glance, no differences were found.
Song Chi was not surprised by this, because in this jump he did not set the landing point directly at the seven-colored light point, but chose a Star Domain tens of thousands of light-years away from it.
Not only him, but any other Torch Ship Captain would likely make the same choice.
After all, if that [Time Chess Board] were truly located at the homeland of some advanced civilization, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would not just teleport directly into such a perilous situation.
"It seems the worst-case scenario hasn’t occurred..."
After scanning the surroundings and checking the radar screen twice, a hint of joy surfaced in Song Chi’s eyes.
If as he previously thought, the [Time Chess Board] was controlled by another advanced civilization and deeply hidden within its homeland, this would not be the situation now.
Most advanced civilization homelands are located on High-Level Life Floating Lands, and even a seventh-level Starry Sea Floating Land can reach a staggering diameter of over ten thousand light-years, even from tens of thousands of light-years away, its outline should be clearly visible, let alone an eighth-level Floating Land.
Since there is no sign of a supergiant Starry Sea Floating Land now, it proves that within a large region of the nearby Star Domain, there is no advanced Floating Land.
Thus, it can naturally be confirmed that the [Time Chess Board] is not on any advanced Floating Land.
Having confirmed this, taking advantage of the "Neutron Star Fission" feature duration still not ending, he again initiated a regular jump towards the direction of the [Time Chess Board].
The first jump went smoothly, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong drew closer by thirteen thousand light-years to the [Time Chess Board]’s main body.
However, the second jump encountered anomalies.
As the second jump ended, the moment the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong rushed out of the jump passage, Song Chi in the battleship main control room sensed something was wrong.
"The warship’s speed is not normal, Intelligent Brain!!"
He called out to the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain, and after a while, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain reached a conclusion.
[After detection, the external starry sky time has significantly slowed, with a slowdown ratio roughly between 1.8 and 2.0, while the warship itself has a slowdown ratio of 1.2.]
"Time slowed down by nearly twice?"
Upon hearing this conclusion, Song Chi’s mind did not immediately think with concern, but instead with joy.
The time slow covering a large area of starry sky, can only be performed by either high-rank beings who excel in Time Law, or by high-rank time-related artifacts.
This leads to further confirmation of the existence of the [Time Chess Board] component, all previous assumptions were not just his imagination.
However, after the joy, Song Chi’s heart sank.
He knew that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was still several light-years away from the seven-colored light point’s location, and with a time slowdown ratio of 2.0 times several light-years away, what about at the center of that seven-colored light point?
It is imaginable that as the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong gets closer to the center of this starry sky, the effect of the time slow will be increasingly terrifying.
Not only could time slowing be the effect, but time acceleration might also be possible.
Although the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong is currently equipped with components such as the [Purusa Zen Seal] and [Time Chess], granting the warship some degree of time resistance, reducing the original 2x time slowdown to 1.2x, Song Chi understood that this is likely not enough.
"Hope the difference isn’t too large!"
Although he understood this, Song Chi still had to personally try. Only by thoroughly understanding more about this time field’s specifics could he address the problem specifically, and only by resolving all these could he finally obtain the main body of the [Time Chess Board] component.
Buzz buzz!
With another spatial fluctuation, Song Chi once again activated a spatial jump, but this time it wasn’t the [Red Vault Jump Device], but the [Aurora Transition Device].
Additionally, he didn’t dare to jump too far, only 0.3 light-years.
It wasn’t out of cowardice, but fear of getting too close, leading to being directly trapped in a state of time stop.
Although he wasn’t sure if there’d be an actual time stop area, he obviously wasn’t willing to gamble.
Because the possibility is large, since the [Time Chess Board] is highly likely a colorful mythical artifact, achieving stopping time isn’t surprising.
As for entering the Zhu Tian Ruins Market beforehand to avoid it?
Song Chi believed it was likely equally ineffective, because once time is frozen, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong itself would lose all abilities, unable to activate components, unable to make a flash escape, or even retrieve the Ancestral Torch.
And if he exited the Ruins Market and tried to return to the warship, he, too, would be directly frozen.
Using brainwave imprints to remotely control the warship? That’s even less possible.
An orange oddity being able to ignore a field emitted by what is likely a colorful mythical artifact?
