The air around the Earth was getting colder and colder. After a while, even the tempered glass of the portholes was covered with a thick layer of ice, and space and time seemed to be frozen all of a sudden.
The crew members on the ship all had pale faces, and they all hugged their coats tightly and subconsciously gathered together to increase the heat.
"Captain, the air temperature outside has dropped to minus 10 degrees, and it is still cooling." When the observer spoke, the hot breath instantly turned into clouds of white mist, and even the eyebrows seemed to be covered with a thin layer.
"There must be something going on. The geographical environment in this area does not allow for such low temperatures."
"The temperature is still dropping. If it continues like this, we will freeze to death before we see a miracle happen." The first mate put his hands firmly in his pockets and said weakly.
"Dr. Santos, do you know what the problem is?" Jiang Yu frowned tightly. As the captain of the Earth, he knew that most of the people on the Earth were warriors with a certain level of cultivation, so low temperature
For them, it can barely resist, but it depends on how low it is.
If the temperature gets lower and the sea surface freezes, whether Earth can continue to operate will be a big problem.
Although, for this trip, the people on the Earth were already prepared not to go back.
But it would be a pity if we can't see the results.
The person Jiang Yu asked was a geography and climate expert who came out with the Earth. When the Earth traveled, it had fully considered all the possible problems it might encounter, and climate and geography experts were also indispensable.
The person in front of me can definitely be regarded as an authoritative person. He is of American nationality and has received three doctorate titles, including a doctorate in space science.
However, this old man was one of the few followers on the ship who had no cultivation. Seeing him shivering with cold, Jiang Yu hurriedly asked someone to hand him a thick coat.
We still have to rely on him for many things, so don’t let him freeze to death first.
"There is only one possibility." Although most people on the Earth can understand English, Santos still followed the locals and spoke a bit hesitant Chinese, but with a serious face, "Energy conversion... If you don't guess
Wrong, God's Gate is already opening, but this opening requires too much energy, so the surrounding energy is flowing away rapidly."
"In other words, is it possible that the temperature will continue to drop?" Jiang Yu tried to sound calm.
Santos nodded: "If I guess correctly, we should already be at the edge of God's Gate,"
"The edge of God's Gate?" Jiang Yu frowned even more tightly, "Mr. Ning wonders if he can still catch up. Dr. Santos, will this situation continue to get worse?"
Santos pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "I have never encountered such a situation, but from a physical point of view, if God's Gate is a wormhole, we should be on the edge of the wormhole now, and we will encounter any situation by then.
It's all normal. If the distance is too close, the most likely possibility is that we...including the Earth will be directly crushed into molecules or even quantum structures by the terrifying gravity generated when the God's Gate is formed..."
"Is this the real meaning of being wiped out?" Jiang Yu rubbed his hands vigorously, exhaled a breath of cold air, and said in frustration, "Doctor, no matter what, before this, we have to find a way not to freeze to death.
What suggestions do you have?"
Santos shook his head: "Unless we find a way to get out of here quickly, I don't know what will happen next."
"No." Jiang Yu immediately refused, "This is the scheduled observation location. If we evacuate, everything will be meaningless."
"If the temperature continues to drop, the Earth will be unable to move if it is filled with sea ice." Santos worried.
"Don't worry, Doctor. The ocean currents here are more active and it should be less likely to freeze. Even if it is full of sea ice, the Earth is built according to the standards of an icebreaker. A little sea ice will not affect the Earth. Doctor
Why don't you help us think of ways to prevent the severe cold outside from affecting the health of the crew."
After Santos looked at the crew members around him, he asked with some confusion: "With all due respect, Captain, with the equipment of the Earth, if you want to observe the opening of God's Gate, you can do it hundreds of miles away. Why?"
To be so close to the energy hole? It seems completely unnecessary."
"The doctor wants to say that there is no need for the Earth to get too close to God's Gate." Jiang Yu said lightly.
"That's right." Santos nodded, "It's completely unnecessary for us to be so close to God's Gate. In Chinese, it's like moths flying into the flame and destroying ourselves. Although we had already put life and death aside before we came.
, but a meaningless death, I think it needs a reasonable explanation."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly, but then said calmly: "I'm sorry, I can't give you this answer."
While talking, the crew member in charge of the observation shouted loudly: "Captain, I think you need to come over and take a look."
Jiang Yu gave Santos an apologetic look, and then quickly walked towards the observation window.
In order to resist the severe cold and the attack of the Red Demonic Dragon, the Earth was almost in a full defensive state at this time. Therefore, the only way to observe the outside situation was through the cameras arranged outside the ship and the observation window on the bow.
What he was looking at now was the observation window at the bow of the ship.
Jiang Yu glanced out the window and his expression changed.
The sky became darker.
But at this moment, it is no longer dark in the physical sense. The sun has not disappeared and is still hanging in the sky.
But now there is only a little bit left.
The reason the sky is darkening is because they have been obscured by countless giant birds.
They are like dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and are so densely packed that it makes people’s scalp numb.
However, these are not the most important things. What is important is that they are not big birds, but patches of red dragons.
The number was far beyond his imagination.
"This is the most red demon dragon I have ever seen in my life." Jiang Yu stared at the sky dumbfounded and murmured to himself.
"What should we do, Captain?" The observer's tongue was a little tangled.
So many red dragons are far beyond what the Earth can bear.
Not to mention, more than half of the Earth's power and firepower have been consumed.
Jiang Yu bit his lower lip subconsciously and clenched his fists slightly. The situation he encountered now was more difficult than when he decided to abandon his wife and set foot on the Earthship to die.
This is a multiple-choice question, and the Earth can now choose to retreat.
With the Earth's protective capabilities, if it were to retreat, it should be possible to escape unscathed.
However, this also means that the Earth Rover must evacuate the observation point.
Just like Santos' question, Jiang Yu also didn't understand why the Earth was so close to the observation point of God's Gate.
You should be able to see progress further afield.
"Captain, all communications have been interrupted, and we have lost all contact with the outside world... According to Dr. Hu, it should be caused by the time flow rate here being out of sync with the outside world, and the delay being too long.
"
There is a red demon dragon in the sky, and now the communication is interrupted.
Earth has completely become an orphan.
What to do? Jiang Yu frowned, but he only hesitated for a moment before he said calmly, "Stay at the observation point, continue to try to restore communication with the outside world, and contact Mr. Ning."
"If those red dragons attack, we may not be able to survive for an hour." the first mate reminded.
"Yes, Captain, why don't we withdraw from the Dark Point of Time first and wait until contact with the outside world is restored before making a decision?"
"Besides, Mr. Ning is not here now, and the most important person is not here. Our sacrifice here is just in vain. I am not afraid of death, but I am not willing to die meaninglessly." Santos shook his head and said, "At least we have to die.
It has to make sense.”
Everyone below started talking one after another.
At a critical moment of life and death, it is inevitable that some people will hesitate.
Not to mention other people, even Jiang Yu himself hesitated. As Santos said, now that Ning Yi is not here, the person who really calls the shots may choose to retreat when encountering this situation.
"Captain, please give the order." The first mate stared at him expectantly.
Jiang Yu stared out of the porthole.
The red demon dragons have begun to gather, and judging from the situation these days, they are about to start attacking.
He cleared his throat and looked around at everyone. Ning Yi was not here, so now the lives of the people on this ship were in his hands. He had to make a decision, and it was his duty to do so.
"Zheng Tai..." He looked at the first mate and said, "Turn left and retreat ten nautical miles..."
"Wait a minute..." Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, in an inconspicuous corner of the main control room, a tall girl who looked thin and had an extremely beautiful face slowly stood up and spoke lightly.
He opened his red lips and said in great surprise, "I object."
Jiang Yu glanced at the other person. He also knew this person. He was a biologist who specialized in studying the Spectral Claw monster.
One of the few girls on the ship, and she joined temporarily.
Jiang Yu only knew that her name was Hu Liying and knew nothing else.
As the captain, he knew the identities of most of the crew members, but apart from Hu Liying's occupation, her cultivation level and where she worked before were unclear.
When she got on the ship, she hardly expressed any comments. She just stared at the porthole all day long, as if she was studying the monsters.
Naturally, Jiang Yu had nothing to do with her.
Today seemed to be the first time she spoke, and as soon as she spoke, she directly refuted his order.
Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, he immediately stopped talking and stared at her in surprise: "Dr. Hu...I'm sorry, did I hear wrongly?"
"Captain, you heard me right... From now on, I will take over the command of the Earth." Hu Liying said calmly.
