817: Anomalies after collision

Yang Dian tapped his bracelet.

Then, the bracelet projected a radar display.

In the display, the green dot representing Earth, or rather the yellow area representing the entire Solar System, had already been enveloped by a vast blue area.

Putting down his fishing rod and standing up, Yang Dian looked up.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the thick new crust, 'seeing' the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone on the surface where biting cold winds blew incessantly.

"That's right, Earth has already collided with the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone."

Reaching out to tap the radar display, Yang Dian discovered that the moment it entered the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone, the Solar System's flight speed began to drop rapidly.

Ling's voice sounded at the right moment:

"The moment the Solar System entered the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone, its flight speed began to decrease rapidly."

"The current flight speed is approximately 100,000 kilometers per second, which is about one-sixth of the speed before entering the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone."

"The Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone spans 3.5 light-years. At the current speed, we will exit the Extreme Cold Zone in years."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Dr. Bai has uploaded new data..."

"The core area of the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone, which is the 0.1 light-year range, is a solid-state region."

"The Solar System is approaching the core of the Extreme Cold Zone, with its speed steadily decreasing: 99,000 kilometers per second... 80,000 kilometers per second... 97,000 kilometers per second..."

"It is estimated that we will reach the core area in 36 years from now, and collide and undergo Fusion with it."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Mars Base Cities No. 1, No. 2, No. 7, No. 9... have detected unknown life forms."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"The 7th meeting of the Huaxia Extraterrestrial Crisis Defense Department will begin in three minutes. Will you participate?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Dian first took the Little Black Cat back from Yang Lele's arms, then looked at Yang Lele:

"Don't make noise later."

Yang Lele's eyes brightened:

"I'm not stupid."

"Brother, let me tell you, I'm only a bit noisy when I'm alone with you. When I'm outside, I'm an ice-cold beauty!"

"You?"

"An ice-cold beauty?"

Yang Dian couldn't help but chuckle:

"Don't make your brother laugh."

"Hmph~"

Yang Lele glared at Yang Dian but didn't argue, just tapped her bracelet forcefully:

"Ling, enter the meeting."

"Student Yang Lele, you do not have the authorization to participate in the 7th meeting of the Crisis Defense Department." Ling's voice sounded from Yang Lele's bracelet:

"If you want to participate in the meeting, you need the Army Commander's consent." Yang Lele's cheeks flushed slightly:

"Wow! You, Ling."

"Did you forget that I am your master?"

Ling's voice was as calm as ever:

"Student Yang Lele, although you have contracted me, I still have an independent personality and will not violate my principles because of your unreasonable demands."

"Even if you are my master."

Yang Lele pouted, and finally looked pitifully at Yang Dian:

"Brother, my talent is so useless~"

"I can't even fully control the contracted entity."

Yang Dian raised his hand, and a Battle Intent Rune flickered at his fingertip and vanished:

"If you want complete control, go and contract things that don't have, and are almost impossible to develop, their own will."

Yang Lele slumped her shoulders:

"After contracting the Battle Intent Rune, my Soul is full. I grow stronger, and the Battle Intent Rune grows stronger too; I can't contract anything else anymore."

Yang Dian flicked her head:

"Isn't this good?"

"Under the enhancement of the Battle Intent Rune, you can unleash 10 times the combat power of your Soul strength at any time."

"As long as your Soul strength is strong enough, the power you can exert can keep skyrocketing."

"This is something many Martial Artists dream of, isn't it?"

Yang Lele gave an honest smile:

"Hehe."

"I'm just being greedy."

Yang Dian stopped paying attention to his silly sister, turned his gaze to Ling, and nodded:

"Connect to the Crisis Defense Department meeting room."

As his voice fell, the boundless sea surface in front of him vanished instantly, replaced by a huge conference room.

Yang Dian was standing at the very center of the conference room.

Nodding to Lao Bai, Han Zhang, and the others beside him, Yang Dian immediately looked at Yang Lele.

Yang Lele didn't need him to worry.

This girl had already followed Ling and trotted happily toward her seat.

Watching her want to chat with the military civilian staffer sitting upright in uniform nearby, yet hesitating and not daring to speak, Yang Dian couldn't help but find it funny.

'This personality, she's a classic case of being tough only at home.'

Turning around to sit back in his seat, not long after, Han Zhang, the acting minister of the Crisis Defense Department, stood up, scanned the conference room, and said concisely:

"The meeting begins. From now on, no outsiders are allowed to enter the conference room."

After speaking, he went straight to the point:

"Everyone knows why the Crisis Defense Department was established, so I won't reiterate it. Let's get straight to business."

"First, five minutes ago, Earth, or rather the Solar System, officially collided with the Extreme Cold Zone, and Earth entered the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone."

"Second, after entering the Cosmic Extreme Cold Zone, the entire Solar System's flight speed dropped sharply and is still decreasing at a constant rate. It is expected to be in a static state in 36 years and 'collide' with the core area of the Extreme Cold Zone."

"Third, the temperature within the Solar System has plummeted. The unknown temperature of the new crust's surface instantly dropped to minus 223 degrees, and the surface temperature instantly dropped to minus 43 degrees, and it is still slowly decreasing."

"Fourth, unknown creatures, possibly native creatures of the Extreme Cold Zone, have appeared on Mars and are currently lying on the energy shield staring at the base city."

"Fifth, Spiritual Qi has begun to become sluggish. Compared to before entering the Extreme Cold Zone, Spiritual Qi has become about one ten-thousandth more sluggish than before. Although it is not much, as we go deeper into the Extreme Cold Zone, this sluggishness may deepen, which means it will become harder for us to Cultivate in the future."

"Additionally, the probability of cold-attribute special Spiritual Qi appearing has increased by 3%, and as we gradually go deeper into the Extreme Cold Zone, the probability of cold-attribute Spiritual Qi appearing is still increasing, which is beneficial for practitioners and ability users who Cultivate cold-attribute martial arts or have Awakening cold-attribute talents."

"Sixth, in the remaining areas on Earth where people have not been completely relocated, especially areas with mythological legends, special energy fluctuations have risen, suspected to be Mythology entering reality."

"Seventh, the seismograph detected regular vibrations deep underground on Earth. The vibrations appeared regularly three times, each time disappearing after nine shakes. Currently, the source of the vibration has not been locked, and it is suspected to be a secret left behind by ancient Earth."

"Eighth, the former Lizardmen Alien Planet is now Wuhou Grotto-heaven; the former Strange Star is now Fengdu Grotto-heaven; the former Tiannan Star is now West Lake Grotto-heaven; the three Huaxia affiliated Blessed Lands have also begun to cool down, but the temperature drop is not much. On average, each Blessed Land has dropped in temperature by 0.43°C, which is only one percent of the surface temperature drop..."
