If it weren't for the communication technology of quantum entanglement, the communication between Beidou and the earth would have been delayed by hours. Quantum entanglement is the only technology that can ignore the distance and communicate in real time, because it is not electromagnetic waves that transmit information, but information itself - information is not matter or energy, and is not restricted by the speed of light.
These are probably the only two physical quantities that are not constrained by the speed of light, the other being the speed of the expansion of the universe itself.
This is the technology that humans acquired from the spacecraft of the Baltic people, but they have only learned the basics, and it is already beyond the limit of using it for simple conversations.
Then at some point, Beidou's voice came through.
"The Sublight Speed 7 rocket has reached its intended location."
The predetermined position is the closest point to the planet Gogda in the dark universe calculated through calculation. Here, twisting the curvature to enter the dark universe can reach the target as quickly as possible.
This also means that as long as Beidou presses the curvature start button in the next step, the thrusters will take him into the dark universe and immediately lose contact with the bottom. Before he completes his mission and returns, the earth will no longer be able to obtain any information about him.
"Beidou, check all systems again. You have five minutes."
After five minutes, the Rockets will miss this best window.
"clear."
Beidou checked the rocket's indicators one by one according to the order in the instruction manual. All the indicators were green, but suddenly, a red warning signal popped up.
"Report, this is BeiDou, the rocket has a fault code, error code 31-53007, the navigation rocket's detachment device has lost power, the navigation rocket cannot detach!"
"Calm down, Beidou, try to see if the fault code is caused by a program conflict. Restart it." Captain Long walked quickly to the communicator, took over Dianzi's position and said, "The No. 7 rocket was developed by the headquarters with many internationally renowned experts, and it has been debugged many times. Such a low-level error should not have occurred."
"clear."
Beidou restarted as the captain said, but after 30 seconds of restarting, the fault code popped up again.
"It can't be helped. It's not a system problem. There is indeed a problem with the disconnector."
"What's going on?" Long looked at Commander Gao Cang in shock and anger. "Commander, you are in charge of the construction of the rocket. Why didn't you find such an obvious problem during the previous debugging?"
“No debugging.”
"What?" Long thought he didn't understand.
"I mean, there was no debugging. The theory of traveling through the dark universe is not yet mature, and there were many unexpected troubles during the manufacturing process, which took too much time. The rocket was assembled just before launch, and we had no time to debug it."
"You bastard, do you know what you are talking about?" Yamanaka no longer cared about the disparity in their positions and cursed, "A rocket that has not been through many tests actually launched into space with people? And it was to the dark universe that humans have never set foot in. You beast, do you know that you are taking human lives lightly?"
If Captain Long had been so unreasonable to the new commander of the Far East branch of the Defense Force under normal circumstances, he would have spoken out to stop him. In the army, it is not excessive to put someone in solitary confinement for disobeying his superiors, but this time he did not say a word.
"We don't have time to waste on debugging. The headquarters has calculated that today is the deadline for launch. The technological gap between us and the Yawa people and the Kingdom of Light is too large. We cannot enter and exit the dark universe at will. We can only find the weaknesses of both to break through. The calculation results tell us that after today we will miss the weak points between the dark universe and us. The next time will be three months later, and by then the residents of the earth may have been purged long ago." Takakura looked straight at Yamanaka without avoiding, his tone as tough as ever.
"You should have understood the day you joined the TAC team that anyone can be sacrificed. Didn't Commander Chinumuma know the danger of the Ultra Beasts before he boarded the plane? That guy hasn't flown a plane for ten years. I guess he must have been bragging about being the 'Osaka Eagle' before he boarded the plane this time. He's always like that. That was just a joke we made up when we were in the military academy. His flying skills are just like my shooting skills. Don't worry about you laughing at me, I can't even hit the target from a hundred meters away. He just didn't want to admit defeat even if he risked his life. For the continuation of mankind, for a higher goal, this is a 'necessary sacrifice'!"
But this time, Long did not listen to him.
"Come back, Beidou, I order you to return now!"
Chapter 48 Five Stars in the Galaxy
The atmosphere in the command room was stiff and heavy.
"Ryugoro, do you want to disobey the command of the headquarters?"
"I am the captain of the TAC team! You are responsible for the defense force, but I must be responsible for my team members!"
"The TAC team is responsible not only for its own members, but also for all human beings!"
"Even so, our TAC team will find other ways to deal with Planet Gogda. At least we still have the Ultra Warriors—"
"You are being irresponsible, Ultra Warrior? Do you know where they are? Do you know how to contact them? Although Ultraman comes to save us every time, how can we humans place our hopes on an uncertain future, on a war god that cannot be contacted? Can you make a phone call, or burn some incense and go to the temple to pray?"
"I--" Long was about to speak, but stopped abruptly.
"This is Beidou, ready to enter the dark universe," Beidou's voice came from the communicator, interrupting the quarrel between the two. "I will continue to complete the mission. Even if I can't get out, I will let the missile destroy the Gogda planet."
"Wait, Beidou, I order you to come back!"
But the dragon's response was a disconnected communication.
"Captain, the quantum communication has been disconnected." Noriko's voice was already tearful.
Long understood what this meant. The disconnection of quantum communication meant that the quantum particles at both ends of the communication had been freed from their entanglement, and the curvature of Beidou's location had undergone a significant change.
Although this was his order, Commander Takakura was not happy, but also in a heavy mood. He had seen too many such sacrifices, and he firmly believed that this was the right thing to do, but it was also sad. Beidou was not the first and would not be the last to face an enemy outside the earth.
He stood up and saluted in the direction of the communicator.
"Please leave! Beidou doesn't need your salute!" Nan Xizi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Beidou did what your headquarters ordered. Now please leave us alone for a while."
Gao Cang did not say anything, neither refute nor explain, and turned to leave the command room. The door opened and closed again, and only the members of the TAC team were left in the command room.
"Sorry Captain, I need to leave for a moment."
Nan Xizi's request was a bit abrupt, but everyone in the TAC team knew that Beidou and Nan joined the army on the same day and had the best relationship.
"Then you can go and rest for a while. You can tell me if you need anything." Long agreed.
After leaving the command room, Nan Xizi went straight to her dormitory. Of course, she didn't really need to be alone, but her Ultra Ring was already flashing.
At this time, she and Beidou were dozens of astronomical units apart, and separated by the dark universe, but that not-so-bright beam of Gaia light became a beacon, connecting the two together.
In the rocket, Beidou Xingji has entered the dark universe, and the distant Gogda star can be seen. This is his second time here.
Feeling that Nan Xizi on the other side responded to his call, Beidou set the time for the missile launch to ten minutes. There were only more than four million kilometers left from here to Gaogeda Star. In ten minutes, the rocket would accelerate the missile to sub-light speed and rush to Gaogeda Star.
This was the time he gave himself, ten minutes to rescue his brothers or die with the planet.
Nan Xizi ran in the corridor, came to the dormitory door and opened it. After making sure that she was out of the range of the base's surveillance camera, she raised the ring in her hand towards the void.
With the same mind, Beidou in the rocket also reached out. At a great distance, the light from the rings collided with each other, and in the void of the universe outside the rocket cabin, a silver giant appeared in the light.
Ling was also unable to participate in the battle that took place in the distant universe. As Beidou had said before, her mission was to guard against the Yawa people sending super beasts to the earth again during the time Ace was away. However, the earth was peaceful at this time, and it seemed that the Yawa people had not made any arrangements here.
Ace has entered the atmosphere of the planet Gogda.
It was still extremely cold here, but Ace had already taken precautions, using his mind to set up a barrier around him and shrinking his light energy so that it would not be taken away by the cold. As long as he was prepared, the Yabo people could not threaten him with just the low temperature.
Ace landed on the high mountain where the cross was located, and saw his brothers again. They were all tied to the cross one by one.
"Brothers, I'm going to rescue you right now!"
"Wait, Ace, this is a trap, get out of here quickly!" The weak Zoffy still retained some consciousness, and he shouted anxiously.
"what?"
Then Ace felt that some terrible changes were happening inside the planet. He subconsciously thought that the Sublight Speed 7 rocket had hit here, but soon realized that this might be the work of the Yabo people.
"The Yabo people sent a terrible monster to Earth, and then he wants to destroy this place. Its dimensional bomb has been detonated in the center of the earth in Gogda!"
Without having time to think too much, Ace had already felt the huge energy spreading outward from the center of the earth. This was energy enough to tear the planet apart.
The crosses that bound the Ultra Warriors were very strong, and ordinary attacks were completely ineffective, but that was not necessarily the case for Ace. He concentrated light energy in his hands and used a skill that he would not normally use. That was a forbidden technique of the Kingdom of Light, and it was not allowed to be used privately unless it was absolutely necessary. But Ace felt that now was obviously the last resort.
The Ultimate Guillotine!
Far more powerful than the one used to destroy the Ultra Beast Brocken, the giant blade formed by the powerful light energy cut through the cliff, cutting the entire mountaintop and the bottom of the cross. Not caring about anything else, Ace formed a long rope with his mind, tied up the four crosses, and flew out of the planet.
The energy of the dimensional bomb has also reached the surface. The planet is like an egg placed intact in a microwave oven. It exploded and ejected a large amount of matter into the starry sky.
The destruction of the planet is so great that even the Ultra Warriors have to hold their breath and use everything they have to barely resist it.
Fortunately, Ace acted decisively and used a forbidden move to rescue his four brothers. They had already reached outside the atmosphere when the planet exploded. If they had encountered such an attack on the surface, even the Giant of Light would not have been able to withstand it.
The shock wave that followed sent Ace and his four brothers flying far away, and they finally stabilized after being thousands of kilometers away. The planet Gogda had already disappeared, leaving only a meteorite belt. The fate of these meteorites was unknown, perhaps they would become comets wandering between the stars, or they might condense into a new planet again due to gravity after hundreds of millions of years.
The metal chains that bound their hands and feet on the cross were torn off, and the four Ultra Warriors regained their freedom, but they were obviously extremely weak. Ace's condition was not very good either. In order to resist the explosion just now, he had consumed most of his energy, and the energy light began to flicker.
"Brothers, your energy is exhausted, hurry back to the Kingdom of Light."
"Compared to this, Ace, listen to me. The Yawa people sent a demon child to Earth. It was a very scary monster and stole the energy of the four of us."
"Brothers' energy?"
"Yes, the energy of the first generation's Specium, Seven's Amerium, Jack's Ultra Bracelet, and my M87 energy were all taken away. That Ultra Beast can use the skills of all of us. It is a monster that is much more terrifying than all the Ultra Beasts that have appeared in the past."
Ace knows how powerful the four brothers are. Even he might lose if he doesn't take it seriously when competing with any of them. And when the four brothers join forces, even the captain (Ultra Father) has to be on guard.
"Let's go to Earth together and subdue that super beast together!" Seven said.
"Wait, if you continue to force the battle now, brothers, you might even lose the ability to transform."
"So what? Even if I use up all my light energy, I can't let the Yabo people get away with it."
At this time in Tokyo, the sky was originally clear, but suddenly without any warning, dark clouds appeared and covered the sun. Then a space vortex appeared in the center of the dark cloud, and a black shadow fell from the sky.
"Emergency alert, emergency alert, a super beast has appeared in downtown Tokyo."
The alarm in the TAC team sounded immediately.
"Captain, a super beast suddenly appeared in the city center and is wreaking havoc on the city."
"Okay, there's no time to mourn for Beidou. Noriko, you stay at the headquarters to look after it, and the others follow me." Long ordered.
"Then, Team Member Yuko—"
"Just leave her alone for a while."
"understand!"
The Eagle Sky Fortress was still under construction and could not be deployed. Long led Yamanaka, Konno, and Yoshimura, and the four of them drove the Cosmos and Airo out of the base respectively. The planes soon arrived over the city center, and everyone saw the appearance of the Ultra Beast clearly.
"This super beast is a little strange." Shan said uncertainly.
The super beasts all have strange shapes, some look like rhinos, some look like cacti, and some have even weirder shapes. But this one is a little different.
It has a ferocious face and claw-like fingers, but it has an energy lamp similar to Ultraman. Not only that, its body structure is also very similar to that of Ultraman.
"The Yabo people, what the hell have they created?"
"Don't talk about this, start attacking now!"
Airo and Cosmos fired at the Ultra Beast, and at this moment, the Ultra Beast suddenly crossed its arms in a cross.
In a very familiar move, Airo and Cosmos hurriedly dodged, and the light passed by them. Even if they were not hit, the TAC members on the plane could feel the horror of the light energy.
"It's fake, right? That's the Specium Ray! Isn't that Ultraman and Jack's special skill?"
After driving away these annoying flies, the super beast did not continue to destroy the city without getting entangled.
But that method made the TAC team even more frightened.
The Specium Beam from the crossed arms and the Aimerim Beam from the forehead, those were the skills that the Ultra Warriors who once protected the Earth used time and again when fighting against monsters, but now they have descended into human cities.
"We can't go on like this, the city is going to be destroyed!"
