Chapter 1,288 Retreating From the Enemy
(Although I don’t know what day today is, I decided to ask for a monthly pass!)
The world is not solid.
Of course, this is only true for those who understand the nature of the world.
For the vast majority of races trapped in the world, the universe they grew up in is an indestructible mathematical system. They can see it, but they are unable to change even a footnote in the truth of the universe, and every constant and factor that maintains the operation of this world. The conversion relationship seems difficult to change. The speed of light is the first barrier that deters ordinary people, and it is just the most inconspicuous of the countless "constant" barriers in the world. Human beings may be able to travel faster than the speed of light, but making light travel at different speeds under the same conditions is a seemingly impossible problem. Similarly, it is difficult to make one plus one equal three from now on, and it is difficult to change the Planck time. Length, it is difficult to change the scope and fixed value of basic forces such as strong mutual force and weak mutual force. These things are the cornerstones on which the universe depends. Each number is like an immortal boulder nailed to the earth, making it visible to mortals. The universe they arrived was shaped into what they knew. Their "sturdiness" is reflected in the origin of these values, just like a builder using bricks to build a house. He can build the house in any shape, add any decoration to it, paint it with beautiful paint, and even paint it with beautiful paint. The house was torn down into rubble again, but no matter what he did——
The definition of brick in the world will not change with his actions. The word brick still refers to the same thing.
But for super civilizations that have transcended the shackles of the universe, the world is completely different. In the eyes of the Protoss and Xiling Apostles, the universe is a sophisticated machine that has a sophisticated structure but can break if not careful. Every basic part of it is placed in front of us without protection. The speed of light propagating in a vacuum is something that can be wiped casually. The numerical value written, one plus one equals two, is just a temporary gear. The critical energy to warp space can be infinite, or it can only require a sneeze: as long as we rewrite the laws and definitions of space. Just like the tall building built by the architect using bricks, in the eyes of the architect it is a solid work. But for beings on a higher level, there is no need to lift a finger to destroy this building:
We just need to define the brick as a gas.
It's not difficult to destroy a universe. The difficulty is just how to control it precisely. Just like you don't necessarily know how to take the chip out of the device intact, but almost everyone knows how to smash that thing to the ground. Broken pieces... well, except for Hawking, but we won't get into the details here. Therefore, the "hot start" of safely restarting the universe is a large project that requires an arbitration agency. To destroy a world instantly, all it takes is a deep breath from the psionic Death Star.
"The celestial system fleet has entered the battlefield, and the Death Star core is being charged. The planetary fleet and satellite formations have detected a large number of high-energy reactions on the way and will engage the enemy." The report from the largest fleet in history passed into the Imperial Admiral. On the bridge, Sandora and I on the other end of the communicator nodded with satisfaction at the same time and said in unison: "Open it up and fight!"
The fallen apostle was shocked by the behemoth that the empire suddenly pulled out: To be fair. The visual impact of the psionic Death Star is definitely more powerful than that of a dozen King's Landers. This bloated giant weapon is enough to swallow up the entire fleet of the fallen apostles several times even if the light is horizontal, and it also comes with a A large group of planet battleships, each with at least two digits of heavily armored fortresses in orbit: Those heavily armored fortresses can almost be regarded as smaller planetary battleships. They are in the orbit of each planet in the celestial system fleet. During this time, a huge number of fleet clusters patrolled around like soldier bees guarding a hive. Although most of them are composed of small and medium-sized battleships (motherships are not very useful for planet-defending battleships, they are not suitable for escort missions, and the spacecraft suitable for escorting other units are small and medium-sized starships), the huge size of the fleet It can still make even the fallen apostles tremble with fear. This is the largest battle group formed by the new empire. As a special fleet, it is independent of the three major battle sequences. It can only be activated with the personal authorization of the emperor, ever since the Battle of the Great Nebula. The Celestial System Fleet rarely goes out in full force like today. Normally, it will send out at most a part of the combat planets to perform tasks, but today because it wants to use the flagship of the Celestial System Fleet: the Nether Energy Death Star, Sandora will pull out the entire fleet. out.
It goes without saying that when such a behemoth appears on the battlefield, it will attract hatred. The Fallen Apostles immediately rushed towards the ancient galaxy with thousands of ships. At the same time, all their weapons with the ability to attack in time and space began to pour firepower on the celestial system fleet. And according to the battle report coming from the information link, the other three fallen apostles in the warring universe also began to move here.
"Oh, it seems that our big guy is putting a lot of pressure on Harlan," Shandora said with a somewhat raised tone. Then an order was issued that sounded a bit strange at first, "The first and second fleets obey the order. There is no need to intercept your enemies. Let them come over as much as possible - but be careful not to mess up the performance."
"First Fleet/Second Fleet received!"
As a result, the armies of the fallen apostles began to receive continuous support from other war zones. The attack pressure on the celestial system fleet was getting higher and higher. Harlan knew very well that such a behemoth that looked breathless could never be a decoration. , all the big things created by the empire are developed in a crazy direction. The emergence of the celestial system fleet may give the fallen apostles an explanation, making them feel that they have figured out why the imperial army suddenly turned to passive combat in all theaters: they regarded the psionic Death Star as a super weapon for decisive battles , thinking that this big guy is here to fight them to the death.
No one expected that the New Empire would decide so decisively to abandon the entire universe.
"The Death Star is 90 percent charged and will begin to guide the end of the world in one minute."
When the electronically synthesized broadcast sound fell, Sandora suddenly connected to the communicator: "By the way, Arjun, this is the new attack method of the psionic Death Star... you know."
I suddenly woke up from the surge of emotion brought to me by the celestial system fleet, sweat dripped from my forehead: "Wait! Why..."
"Chen Junzhi's thunderous roar...don't look at me, Qian Qian's name, you can order to ban this name now..."
I:"……"
Qianqian squeezed over from the side of the communicator screen, pushed Sandora aside, and then grinned at me with a silly smile.
"...Why didn't you stop me..." I frowned and said to Sandora with a sad face. There is definitely only one person in the world who can make people feel heartbroken on a battlefield with roaring artillery fire. "You can change your name to whatever you want. I'm exhausted now..."
"Then call it Judgment Day," Sandora smiled at me and pushed Qianqian back. "You will find that there is no name more suitable for it."
When Sandora finished speaking, the psionic Death Star had reached its peak charge. And began broadcasting warning messages to all fleets.
The powerful attack of the fallen apostle did not cause much damage to the celestial system fleet: as an unprecedented behemoth, the fleet's ability to withstand damage is outrageous. It is a fairly typical rough-skinned guy. The enemy is very smart. They know that as long as the monster-like general flagship still exists, just destroying the battle formations around it will not cause much damage to the combat effectiveness of this giant fleet, so 80 to 90% of their firepower is directed towards death. star surface. But they underestimated the psionic Death Star's ability to withstand damage. Nearly ten minutes of indiscriminate bombardment did not even reduce the flames on the Death Star's surface.
Moreover, the enemy still doesn’t know what this celestial system fleet plans to do.
"Attention all fleets, the order field will be opened in thirty seconds - no one is allowed to act in advance!" Sandora's voice echoed in the command link, "Death Star, let's start."
"The energy has reached its peak, the boot command is confirmed, and the current edge of the universe is being checked... The verification is completed. The Death Star begins to guide the end of the world... The end of the world will come in thirty seconds..."
The ultimate battleship wrapped in a blue sea of fire, the psionic Death Star, suddenly had an abnormal storm on its surface. Those prominence jets with a height of millions of kilometers were all retracted into the interior of the star in an instant, and then returned with a hundred times the intensity and intensity. A hundred times the amount was erupted, and with a cycle of about three seconds, the entire psionic Death Star began to expand and contract like breathing, and it beat like a heart. With every beat, the unprecedentedly powerful ghost energy radiation will crush part of the surrounding space. Under the illumination of that radiation, the old stars and black holes in the core of the ancient galaxy are collapsing, and the space has become unstable. The cosmic radiation from this source rapidly increases or decreases, drawing distorted lines on the monitoring instruments that would confuse scientists of ordinary races.
soon. This heart-like beating spreads to the entire universe: the spread of psionic energy is super-dimensional and even super-conceptual. As a higher-level existence than everything in the world, it spreads at infinite speed, if no restrictions are imposed. A beam of psionic energy can even shoot from one end of the universe to the other in an instant. Now, the safety lock of the psionic Death Star has been released, and its light begins to be "broadcast" to the entire universe, and then assimilates everything there. .
At this moment, the Nether Energy Death Star is still pulsing slowly, expanding, contracting, expanding, contracting... The sound of heartbeats seems to be transmitted from the dark and cold depths of space into the hearts of everyone who witnesses this scene, and the whole world is shocked. It turned into a heart, "Dong...dong..."
"All fleets, open the order field and prepare to enter the void!"
"The broadcast is completed, the world's infiltration level is 100%, and all cosmological constants have been deleted. The end of the world is confirmed to have arrived."
The entire universe suddenly collapsed.
The Nether Energy Death Star spreads its power to the entire universe. This is the so-called "broadcast", and the Nether Energy can transcend everything in the world. It is broadcast to the entire universe, which means that the entire world is affected at this moment. "Infected" by the power of the Death Star, in view of the assimilation effect of psionic energy, from a certain angle, the psionic Death Star just now has actually expanded to the extent of the entire universe: everything within the world barrier is actually located on the Death Star in vivo.
The mathematical rate equipment driven by psionic energy has such a property: psionic energy generated by the same energy source, all mathematical phenomena within its coverage can be controlled by that source. This is the principle of the psionic energy Death Star guiding the end of the world. It is simple and crude. , environmentally friendly and efficient, after completing the guidance, it only takes one Planck time to destroy the world.
The imperial army activated the order field at the moment when the universe collapsed, and then they were thrown into the void environment together with the fallen apostles, but the latter did not have time to open the order field - they instantly withstood the terrifying impact.
The world that was repeatedly fought for just now no longer exists. It disappeared in an instant, not even a trace of residue was left. The armies of the Imperial Army's various theaters opened hundreds of order fields floating on the original site of the world, like a mother. Like the large and small life-saving capsules floating in space after the ship collapsed, the people in the life-saving capsules watched with cold eyes as the fallen apostle's warships were assimilated into basic information elements one by one in the void, without even having time to explode. It becomes dissipated information, and then not even this bit of information is left.
"It seems that there is no need to block the barrier at all. They didn't expect that we would 'explode' our territory." I watched the reactions of the fallen apostles on the early warning radar disappear one by one, smacking my lips and sighing to Sandora, Then he added, "Besides... I feel really bad... It's not easy for us to build this military node..."
Sandora glanced at me silently through the communicator. Turning his face to the side: "Don't mention this, I feel bad too."
"The enemy's flagship formation and the King's Landing formation are activating the order field!" Sivis's sudden voice interrupted the two emperors' heartache, "They have withstood the initial impact!"
I immediately moved in the direction of Sivis: "Where is the interception force?"
"The enemy's resistance is fierce and cannot be broken through!" Sivis replied quickly, and then transferred the picture captured by the frontline troops. I saw a large group of tattered black and red giant ships that had opened an order field. Those order fields Clearly built in a hurry. Lack of sufficient stability, so that the spaceships inside are still constantly damaged, but these spaceships that barely survived the void impact still successfully blocked the Imperial Army's interception force: with huge numbers and fearless death.
The void impact generated after the world disappeared almost destroyed all the small and medium-sized battleships of the Fallen Apostles. However, the powerful mothership can rely on its original psionic energy shield to sustain itself in the void for a long enough time until they reopen the order field. , we thought of this, so we launched a strong attack on all enemy motherships immediately after the collapse of the universe. But I didn't expect that so many large spaceships survived. Now they have completely risked their lives to cover the evacuation of their emperor and those super battleships at the cost of annihilating the entire army. At this moment, I can already see the pictures sent back from the front line. I saw Harlan's flagship formation: it was the Royal Fleet of the Fallen Apostles. It was large in scale and well-organized. It seemed that it had hardly suffered any battle damage. The largest of them was a strange-looking "double-bridge" battleship. It looks like it is made of two Eternal-class motherships put together in parallel, but it is a little longer. It should be Harlan's custom-made royal flagship, just like the Imperial Admiral. I know that Harlan is On top of it, but now the Imperial Army is almost unable to prevent this fleet from evacuating: the radar shows that the information deviation between the enemy Royal Fleet's order field and the Imperial Army's order field is close to the critical point. Once we cross this point, we lose track of each other forever.
"It can't be stopped." Just when I was about to order all the intercepting troops to capture the enemy chief no matter what, Xiaoxue suddenly tugged on my sleeve. "Dad, let the intercepting force give up and catch up again. The gains outweigh the losses. The Royal Fleet's counterattack is very powerful, and our army's current state is really bad."
I was stunned, and in the end I could only nod reluctantly: No matter what, you must listen to what the prophet said. The old empire suffered a lot in this regard...
Moreover, our soldiers are indeed tired enough. We should not pursue the enemy when we are in trouble. The counterattack of a fallen apostle before his death may be very powerful: and he also has an entire royal fleet that is almost undamaged. This risk is real. Too big.
"Reorganize the army, count the battle losses, return for repairs, and..." Sandora looked at the empty void silently, "...revise the empire's boundaries after returning."
This fierce battle is finally over. The good news may be that the fallen apostles were finally beaten back by us, but the bad news seems to be far more than the good news: the enemy's King's Lander super battleship is still intact in nine out of ten cases, and their royal fleet is still intact. and all senior commanders also evacuated the battlefield unharmed. What the Fallen Apostles lost in this battle were troops that could be mass-produced again. Even if the losses were huge, they could rely on their own strong industrial backing to quickly replenish: Yiyuan Replenishes faster than the Empire.
As for the Imperial Army... In terms of battle damage ratio, the Imperial Army's army suffered less damage than the Fallen Apostles. For some unknown reason, the Fallen Apostles' combat status was so bad that we completed this mission with lower casualties. battle, but what needs to be taken into consideration is that the base of the Imperial Army is originally smaller than that of the Fallen Apostles. We and the enemy have inherent shortcomings in hard power. In this battle, the three legions of the Imperial Army were severely damaged: First The Second Army had to be on the second line for a long time, and the Sixth Army experienced two consecutive fierce battles, and nearly half of them were damaged.
In just two days of battle, the imperial army's damage had exceeded the level of the months of fierce fighting in the Great Nebula.
More battle losses have not yet been calculated, but I know that there must be more than what can be seen directly now.
In addition, there are many things that need to be resolved as soon as possible, such as what is the reason for the fallen apostle's change, whether Lin Xue saw any crucial turning point in the future, and why Harlan brought The army will perform worse than the previous fallen apostles.
I'm afraid I'll be busy for a long time to come... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users Please read it.)
