In the 108th year of the Star Dome Calendar, the portholes of the Forgefire Embryo Starship were stained by the emerald glow of the root system, appearing like shimmering prisms. In Chen Feng’s palm, the Bee-Pattern Root System Core pulsed with tremors that shook the very foundation of the ship. Outside, the "Symbiotic Star-Network," woven from nest-patterned roots, was suffering under the erosion of dark matter. Silver-blue root fibers looked like ink-splattered streams, their surfaces congealing into prismatic "Entropy Annihilation" crystals. Each crystal was absorbing the primordial resonance waves from the roots; a sound like shattering glass echoed from the "Star-Network Hub" at the core, and millions of embryo cradles attached to the tips of the roots drifted toward the void like kites with severed strings.
"Chen Feng! The resonance conductivity of the star-network has dropped to zero," Su Yuhan said, her monitor screen engulfed in dark-matter mist. "The remnants of the String Breakers have implanted a 'Resonance Stripping Core' into the star-network nodes. They are rewriting the symbiotic frequency of the Cold Pool water ripples and crystal nuclei... into an absolute silence of Entropy Annihilation!" She suddenly pointed to the tactical screen. "The resonance coordinates of the Cold Pool water ripples... are being tampered with to reflect the absolute zero point of dark matter!"
Liu Ruyan’s communication line was torn into static by the sound of the star-network frac…
