Chapter 1367: Chapter 653: Switching Sides Midway (Part 2)

It’s a pity Hou Gu is just a trainee researcher, Wen Yao is a fish, and that cockroach sister before, they’re still too low tier. They’re not the central figures of the new Three Great Sects’ plan; they can only offer the most basic background information, hearsay and gossip.

In the end, after hearing a bunch of talk, Tie Dan still couldn’t figure out the situation of the Sword Sect, he’d have to go back to Nine Yin Mountain and see for himself, or find that guy directly to ask...

"...What’s this thing?"

Only then did Tie Dan come back to his senses and look at the bull-headed, horse-faced creatures tied together and hanging upside down from the ceiling.

When these two had acted earlier, they seemed to be human-bodied but beast-headed, and in such a short time, they had fused so much that their human form was unrecognizable.

Yes, fused, Tie Dan had only tugged once, but when the ’power’ of the Primordial Spirit passed through the spider silk, it directly shook the human form to pieces, those fragments hung on the spider silk, looking like melting ice or dripping candles, finally condensed into a viscous paste, wax blocks like floating corpse oil, finally taking the shape of bull-headed, horse-faced beings.

Hou Gu interrupted, "Dead ghosts."

Wen Yao, "Speak properly!"

Hou Gu felt annoyed but didn’t dare to argue, so he explained,

"Humans die and become ghosts, ghosts die and become Amitabha, Amitabha dies and becomes a wish, wishes die and become eliminated, eliminated dies and become micro, micro dies and becomes formless.

These two electronic ghosts were struck by the Sect Leader’s Divine Power, so they died without a trace or form.

Naturally, they were already dead ghosts, not even reaching Amitabha level, just belong to the lowest tier of micro elimination."

Oh, dead ghosts then...

Alright, Tie Dan understood now.

Although these two wretched beings seemed pitiable in their groveling, actually one Blood God’s Son had a battle strength of a thousand, ranked forty-something in the Pantheon, they certainly weren’t normal people.

In fact, he was a Refining God and Returning Void level ancestor, with a flick of a finger he could break stars, with a casual wave he could rip Brother Billa apart, even speaking a bit louder could deafen people, shattering them into gravel. Now directly through spider silk links, this strength is not something mere mortals can withstand, so they were directly shocked into ragged pieces, dying without form.

Now Tie Dan understood what Spider Xi meant when saying ’they’re not worthy’.

Cold at the top, strong ones are destined to be lonely, can a T-rex really befriend an amoeba? When the Primordial Spirit’s strength reaches this level, even basic connections and communication become impossible...

However, Jizhou can still manage, after all, she’s Titan-level computing power; right now, she’s already analyzed the dead ghost fragments, extracted the necessary information,

"They’re Zhuang Xu’s special reconnaissance, special task advance reconnaissance unit, tasked with monitoring, searching and arresting our corps rebels.

This time, they were probably borrowed by the expedition fleet for preliminary reconnaissance of the beast clusters near the Star Gate.

Probably caught me when I accessed the jump track, taking advantage of the brief window as I entered the super-light-speed channel to grab me."

Tie Dan, "...What?"

Jizhou pointed, "Constables, here to arrest him."

Tie Dan, "Oh."

That’s none of his business...

Hou Gu teared up.

Jizhou, wearing the skin of an advisor, was used to strategizing,

"This special reconnaissance Black Hidden Special Service Ship is very advanced, it has silently infiltrated without triggering any radar detection warnings, monitoring the dynamics of the entire Solar System, unnoticed by the beast clusters near the Star Gate. Don’t you want it?"

Tie Dan was speechless,

"How can I just ask and they’ll give it to me?"

Jizhou nodded, pointing to the silk tying the bull-headed, horse-faced beings,

"Yes, you’re the Child of the Stars, you can directly input the URL, login to the system with backdoor access... uh, crawl along the silk and go directly to snatch their ship."

Tie Dan blinked at her eight eyes,

"What nonsense are you talking about. Forced to jump off halfway at high speed?"

Jizhou sighed, opened a highly complex formula and diagram explanation,

"The jump track is designed based on the universe’s expansion principle. As everyone knows, space itself can expand at any rate, causing objects within to separate at apparent super-light speed, while the objects themselves don’t violate relativity.

Therefore, it’s not like Jizhou or some automated cargo ship suddenly can go super-light speed by itself. Actually, after a ship enters the jump track, relative to the local inertial system within the track, it’s still in a low-speed cruising state.

But the expansion of space itself will ’carry’ us from the starting point to the endpoint, like standing on an ever-lengthening conveyor belt, leaving the channel feels like a teleportation to the destination. From an external Euclidean reference frame, it achieves super-light travel, this is the fundamental principle of the jump track.

So to build a jump track, multiple artificial inflation field generators are needed, laying a super-light-speed highway through space expansion, of course, it’s not a physical highway, but an array of space inflation generator setups forming a stable metric adjustment field.

When the track is activated, generators at various sites will collaboratively launch through quantum communicators, creating a repulsive gravity field with high-density negative energy, pushing space to stretch outward.

Naturally, at every ’high-speed entrance and exit’, there’s a corresponding space compression field and inertial dampening field to counter the expansion effect. Just as long as the expansion and compression rhythm is arranged well, stable remote navigation can be achieved anytime, anywhere.

Compared to other super-light-speed technologies, the jump track is more stable, safe, and economical, even sub-light-speed ships can get on the highway, and new generator nodes can be added anytime to join the high-speed network.

Nonetheless, even expansion field generators have limits; each local expansion requires enormous energy consumption, literally tearing spacetime, with exponential growth in cost and risk when the expansion gradient is too large. Hence, jump tracks are usually used for short-haul logistics within the Constant Star System.

Thus, super-space Star Gates constitute star pathways leading to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, while jump tracks are like capillaries covering countryside roads of various Constant Star Systems."

Wen Yao, "Wow... What are capillaries?"

Hou Gu laughed, "Hey! Bumpkin!"

Wen Yao furious!

Jizhou couldn’t be bothered with the two, pulled up another slide to continue explaining,

"And the Black Hidden Special Service Ship, being a professional spy ship, carries its own inflation generator, also with special reconnaissance approved high-level permissions, meaning it doesn’t need to report and can access jump track subnetworks of various companies’ star systems anytime, self-generating super-light paths for fleet insertion.

So earlier, those two reconnaissance electronic ghosts didn’t act while you were away, but just waited until you came back to capture you, actually indicates that their Black Hidden Special Service Ship is also on the highway now, no, it serves as the highway entrance itself, disguised as part of this super-light-speed jump track, obvious to these beasts.

But now that we’re in this expanded space together, we’re actually in the same inertial system, and the Primordial Spirit is essentially a kind of light-speed transmitting electromagnetic wave, so you obviously can follow the silk to steal the ship."

Oh, sounds quite scientific indeed, and in fact, Tie Dan really can sense through the Luo Hou Sword Radiance, the massive gravity tide when the jump track activates, so it actually aligns well with mysticism...

But Tie Dan still shook his head,

"Not interested, why do I need so many ships, having you take me home is enough. Plus, we’re getting off the highway in ten minutes."

Jizhou said,

"Although I’m happy you say that, simply letting that Special Service Ship continue to exist is a very dangerous act.

Because, as I explained earlier, Special Service Ships are strategic assets that can provide reconnaissance support for the entire fleet, can open secret jump channels at any time for preemptive tactical assaults, can launch stealth mines to prioritize and strike valuable targets, even directly conduct corrective bombardments on the surface.

If we miss this opportunity, once we’re off the highway, and the special reconnaissance finds these two electronic ghosts are dead, actively disconnecting from the jump track network, it would be difficult for our ship’s technology to track them again.

Thus, if we don’t resolve the strategic initiative of the Black Hidden Special Service Ship now and find a counter-reconnaissance solution for such special vessels, in the not-too-distant future, there won’t be a ’home’ for you to return to."

Tsk...

Tie Dan wasn’t one to dilly-dally, the words were clear enough, he understood the urgency, immediately released a divine flash from his body, looking at the silk hanging with bull-headed, horse-faced ones, fused and crystalline, suspended in the Void,

"Just crawl over?"

Jizhou pointed at Hou Gu,

"Take him, have him pilot it back after the fight, he can do it."

Hou Gu, "Wait, what do you mean! Do you dislike me! Have to drag me along ah ah ah ah!"

Tie Dan was done talking nonsense, grabbed Hou Gu, swung on the spider silk, jumped aboard halfway, went to seize the new ship.
