Chapter 594: Teardrop and Spatial Window (2/2)
Teardrops?
Was it because of Teardrop?
The thought flashed in Ye Chong's mind.
The dimensional cracks were far more denser at Lazunite yet...
Could there be a relationship... between the space distortion activity and Teardrops?
”Sir!” Screamed Sha Ya, ”There are formation of dimensional cracks around us! It's increasing!”
Ye Chong jumped up from his throne.
I knew it! It is the Teardrops! It has to be! The Darkniss utilized Teardrops as the source of energy. Of course Aried could not detect any high level of energy activity nearby!
We *are* the high level energy activity itself!
”Avoid them, Sha Ya, you'll lead us!” Ye Chong commanded as he turned to Aried and said, ”We MUST get through the dimensional window, now! Tell me what do you need!”
”But.. but... my lord... We aren't aware of where the dimensional window leads t-”
”I KNOW!” Ye Chong interrupted as he looked at Aried. ”We can go anywhere but it's definitely not here! Leave now!”
Aried replied, ”Y-yes sir,” giving a few dramatic nods.
”What do you need? Report!” said Ye Chong.
Aried pondered for a few moments, ”Teardrop. Give me one Teardrop.” It was a confident reply from him.
Without hesitation, Ye Chong removed a Teardrop and passed to Aried.
The crew members got busy as bees in the control room, while the rest were looking at the hologram that reflected their upcoming fate.
As we all know, piloting a giant warship to perform hectic and minimal evasion was an art, a tremendously challenging movement that required precise coordination.
Therefore it was justifiable to see the crew members being this tense, as a long chains of command was uttered in shrieks from time to time, from one member to another.
The dimensional cracks were forming at a moderate rate round the ship, which was the saving grace for the crew. If the cracks came a bit faster, they might have to join the stars.
Aried led Sang Kan to the dimensional window as surrounded by a formation of Level 8 shooters. Even though they could not clearly feel the structure of the dimensional window like their Level 9 counterparts, at least they could tell the location.
Aried and Sang Kan began setting up the apparatus, which were all the creation of Aried. Thankfully the ship was well-facilitated, so it did not take him long to build these, especially with the microchip from Ye Chong that contained insane amount of space science information. The Consortium was their aid, ironically.
There were a few blueprints and Aried had built machines upon them, yet no test was actually performed before.
It was a set of 14 silver round disks about half a meter in diameter, with complicated circuits over them. Aried and Sang Kan placed these disks right below the dimensional window.
The crew was curious. Aried was the scholar to them so they were interested in his latest experiment.
Both Aried and Sang Kan first connected all 14 disks and the wiring took them about 30 minutes. They spent the next 10 minutes performing final check.
Aried gestured Sang Kan to back away. He hesitated and eventually left Aried alone far ahead.
Aried was grim, as he installed the Teardrop on the centermost disk.
Beep.
The disk glowed with sea blue energy flowing through the entire circuit over the surface. In no time, the energy reached the other disks too.
Aried was relieved, the apparatus seemed to be working. He began sprinting, sprinting towards the warship. Sang Kan grabbed the running man over his shoulders and ran hurriedly as well.
The moment they got back to the ship, the dimensional window was morphing.
