Chapter 1,481 Occupation and Premonition
When I heard Vincent's exclamation, I rushed over immediately, only to find that he had pulled up something like a system log.
"What is this? Historical records?" I frowned. I have been involved in imperial affairs for some years. The professional parts of this kind of log cannot be seen, but the non-professional descriptive content is still easy to understand. It seems It is a military deployment order, as well as some sporadic orders from the interior of the abyss area and the operation of the sovereign hub. It is basically a miscellaneous record. It can be seen that the security level of these miscellaneous items is not very high, otherwise it would not be so It was simply summarized into a database, and Vincent cracked it out so easily.
Vincent quickly checked the information, and it was obvious that he found some very important clues: "It is recorded here that several conflicts broke out in the abyss area, so the military dispatch was once in chaos. There are also records of the passage of some frontline temporary troops. It is also very confusing. In addition, there are some completely contradictory orders, but the issuing source of the orders is the same...all kinds of unexplainable things. In addition, at the end, it is also mentioned that some important reports were sent to the sovereignty hub...see It seems like there are any secrets on the Sovereignty Hub."
There was an explosion in the distance, followed by the piercing screams of weapons fire and metal tearing: the Scorpion soldiers were at war with another wave of fortress guards. I recovered from the logs in front of me and looked up at the entrance of the computer room: "Copy these logs first, and then quickly complete the fortress defense network."
"Yes!" Vincent nodded immediately and returned to work.
At this moment, the shield outside the fortress host has been lowered, and several experts are dismantling the protective panels on the fortress host. Some of them are the fortress commanders from the fallen apostle camp in the past, and some are the technicians brought over when Harlan was incorporated. These The person is very familiar with the big guy in front of him, and even knows the location of every crystalline line in the host. In just ten seconds, the three protective plates on the shell of the fortress host were removed. Vincent connected his data terminal to the console in the corner, and then ran over to directly connect the other data terminal to the processing core in the fortress host. He was working quickly while saying to himself with a little sigh. Said to himself: "This is what we did back then - I invented this method of operation. Technical experts believe that this synchronization protocol method will harm the system, but what frontline soldiers want is higher efficiency, and the host life design is One million years, but how can any fortress actually survive for such a long time?”
The two former fallen apostle technicians standing on both sides of Vincent turned their heads and looked at him silently. One of them couldn't help but speak: "So it was you who took the lead in using the external source synchronization method..."
Vincent was stunned. Suddenly he slapped his head with regret: "I forgot that you two also surrendered... I didn't expect that you would run into creditors after you changed sides."
As they said this, the work on their hands did not slow down at all. It seemed that it was exactly what Vincent said: the whole operation process was not too difficult, and they were already familiar with it, even if the fallen apostle changed the recognition library , these former experts did not take it seriously at all.
The fortress host's emotionless broadcast sounded again in the computer room: "Attention. The local protocol has changed. The new version of the protocol will take effect in thirty seconds. It is expected that this operation will have unknown consequences. If it is a misuse, please cancel immediately. "
Vincent finally showed a relieved smile on his face: "It's done. After thirty seconds, all the attack commands of the battle fortress will be locked, and then they will stop transmitting all information. This will last for about thirty minutes - enough to destroy All lines of defense."
At this time there was another explosion outside. There was also a harsh sound of tearing metal, and Vega's voice came from the spiritual connection: "Sir! All the guards in the entire fortress are coming this way! How long do you have to resist!?"
"It's done here. We still have twenty seconds. You guys can retreat to the computer room while fighting," I replied quickly, then patted Pandora and Visca on the head, "You two go and take over."
Then I contacted other commandos: "Mission accomplished, quickly come to the computer room to meet up. Prepare to evacuate!"
As if just to join in the fun, a broadcast sounded in the computer room again. This time the broadcast was much more urgent than before: "Attention, after receiving instructions from the highest level, this machine is about to leave the network. Repeat, this machine is about to leave the network!"
"They realized what happened here." Vincent quickly checked the running status of the fortress host, but his face didn't seem to be too worried. "The Defense Circle Command is forcibly shielding the fortress through external instructions. But it takes thirty seconds for the shielding order to take effect. It’s simply too late.”
"Boom!" A big explosion, more powerful than all the previous explosions, came from nowhere. The shock wave made the entire computer room shake, and several piercing alarm sounds came together at once. There was a loud roar, and then the lights in the computer room began to flicker on and off. I quickly floated into the air to prevent myself from falling, while contacting other commandos: "Is this noise a little too much?"
"Your Majesty, the fortress is self-destructing!" The voice of a commando commander rang out in the spiritual connection. Due to the violent energy interference, his voice sounded severely distorted. "Three and four teams were involved in the explosion and all died... "
"Boom, boom, boom -" Continuous explosions came from all directions. One or two of the explosions sounded as if they were just a few hundred meters away from the computer room. The sound of alarms and explosions mixed together and made people upset. , the violent shaking scene in front of me also made people dizzy. I saw large groups of psionic sparks bursting out from the ceiling. It was obvious that the energy network of the fortress had begun to collapse: the enemy detonated the reactor of the fortress. In a few seconds The big explosion inside the clock had already spread to the most heavily protected computer room.
A dazzling white light suddenly lit up not far away, and a large hole was blasted on one side of the computer room. High-temperature metal jets mixed with corrosive ghost energy splashed in from the hole: the computer room with a special shell finally It began to disintegrate, and it seemed like this place was going to be doomed in no time.
It seems that the fallen apostles have realized that conventional methods cannot prevent this polluted fortress from distributing virus broadcasts to the entire network, so they desperately decided to use self-destruction to destroy this place. But thanks to Occam's "reliable design", this computer room seems It's stronger than expected, and the fortress host definitely uses an unusual power supply line: even when the entire fortress' energy network is out of control, that huge host is still running normally!
There were only ten seconds left in the countdown, and I quickly gave an order to the other commandos: "Upload the soul in place! Let's withdraw!"
The artificial gravity in the fortress has stopped, and strong winds are carrying flames sweeping through the large hole above the main engine room, although you can't see the outside scene from the center of the explosion. But based on this phenomenon, I can also tell that the fortress has begun to disintegrate, the shell is peeling off, basic functions are shut down, and the atmospheric environment is leaking-the countdown is only five seconds!
At this time, a big hole appeared again on the ceiling of the computer room, and running out of the hole were the Pandora sisters and a group of armored scorpions. Vega waved to us: "Sir, this road leads outside!"
"Why run for five seconds?" I directly turned into the void form, "Come closer and hide in the void for a while."
The void realm instantly opened, the material world was replaced by the "origin", everyone hid in the safe void barrier, and the explosions and noisy alarms disappeared instantly - this world is so pure.
Benefit from the improvements and changes brought about by "the deification of the whole race". Every apostle in the new empire from top to bottom is gradually gaining affinity for the void environment. Even if it is too late to open the order field, an ordinary imperial soldier can survive in the void for a long time, and we are here Since this commando team is all elite, I can safely envelop everyone in my own void realm and wait for the calm outside.
After a while, the void realm was cancelled. We return to the material plane from the edge of the world, and in front of us are only large pieces of debris floating in space.
The fortress has completely disintegrated. The unprecedented power of the self-destruction tore this dozens of kilometers of behemoth into pieces in the blink of an eye. These fragments exploded in a gravity-free environment are spreading rapidly, and now they have spread into a ball of "ruin" covering hundreds of kilometers. ", in this desolate world with no other celestial bodies and no interstellar dust, probably those fragments will spread endlessly.
There are still huge psionic sparks jumping between the ruins of the fortress, and the remaining energy in the crystallized tube network is slowly being released. I looked up into the distance, and from here I could see several other space fortresses at a suitable angle and at a close distance.
They were dead silent.
"Sandora, have you seen the situation here?" I contacted the Imperial Admiral, "Their fortress has been silenced."
"Are you okay?" Sandora's voice immediately rang in her mind, "I just received the soul upload signal from those commandos, and you were involved in the self-destruction?"
"It really blew up," I felt very happy. "But the people nearby have been protected by me with the void field. The commando soldiers are too far away, so I can only let them upload their souls in advance. It is better to lie in the resurrection factory for a while than to die in battle. We will go back now. .You are ready to receive."
There were no more twists and turns on the way back. All the space fortresses went offline at the same time, which caused the Fallen Apostles to become chaotic. In addition, the most important close defense force near the sovereign hub: the drone group also relied on the fortress network for command. They were all paralyzed, resulting in There was a temporary gap in defense here. Before the enemy fleet's carrier-based aircraft came out to cause trouble, we safely passed through the blockade and teleported back to the Imperial Admiral as soon as we escaped from the powerful gravity trap near the sovereign hub.
There was no suspense about the ensuing battle. Those space fortresses that did not resist were quickly cleaned up (these things must be cleaned first, after all, they will restart in thirty minutes). Although the enemy fleet standing above the sovereignty hub fought desperately, But the huge disadvantage in numbers and the chaos caused by the destruction of the fortress system gave them no chance of winning. The Imperial Fleet opened fire, destroying the enemy's shields layer by layer. The glowing ring that had been waiting for a long time finally showed its power: nearly half of the enemy ships were "named" and illuminated by them. to death.
During the battle, I saw the way the Glow Circle cooperates with other ship types, and how powerful this cooperation will be once it is formed: other types of spacecraft cannons are fully activated, only to deal with the enemy's shield, and once the enemy's shield is extinguished, they will Switch fire immediately and no longer waste excess firepower on those annoying charged armors. The glow ring is the last link of the "firepower chain". They do not fire during the whole process, only waiting to harvest enemies who have lost their shields. . Originally, a Xiling spaceship could still rely on rechargeable armor to continue fighting after losing its shield, but in the face of such an unreasonable thing as the "Terror Mirror System", those spaceships that still had combat effectiveness were as fragile as paper.
If the protection of a spaceship is considered to be composed of shield + armor, then as soon as the glow ring appears on the battlefield, it means that the enemy's armor protection has been cleared.
What's this called: Take the big move and take away the head. A human-headed dog that leaves no residual blood... I know there is a grammatical problem with this sentence, but it's mainly for rhyme, so don't pursue it.
The defense fleet above the sovereignty hub was swept away, and the last line of defense of the fallen apostles in this universe collapsed. Of course, the two black artificial planets were also equipped with anti-aircraft guns, but these weak anti-aircraft firepower was obviously not enough. Saw it.
The enemy is still trying to find ways to send reinforcements to this world. The fighting will and stubborn spirit of the fallen apostles are really in the same vein as the Xiling apostles, but our troops outside the world barrier have completed their mission very well: deploying around this universe The powerful interference environment prevented the enemy's reinforcements from being sent over, and now the dust has settled. They never have to come here.
Sandora looked at the Sovereignty Hub picture from the external monitor. The two dark man-made planets were still moving quietly in their orbits. Although the surrounding space fortresses and defense fleets had been cleared, the planet itself was powerful. It's a shield, so it's still intact, but no matter how powerful the shield is, it can't withstand such a wanton salvo of the Imperial fleet. Destroying them only takes a moment, and as long as these two artificial planets are destroyed, the enemy's world gate will shut down.
We are still not sure where the fallen apostle hid the World Gate. The gate seems to be hidden by some powerful concealment technology, but we can be sure that the control center of the gate is on those two planets - —This is determined by sensor scanning.
"Sure enough, it's the damage definition system... All secondary batteries and assault fleets are ready to launch a salvo and push eop-03 onto the projection track," Sandora gave the order without much thought. "This world is ours."
At this time, I suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted from the side: "Wait a minute! There is something on the sovereignty hub!"
Sandora glanced at me in confusion: "What's going on?"
"We found some very strange logs in the fortress host. The logs mentioned that there is more information on the independent database of the sovereign hub." I quickly told Sandora what I had discovered before, "About the civil strife of the fallen apostles. ——The civil strife has affected the border defense, and what is recorded here should be able to deduce the situation in the abyss area."
"Planetary bombing saves time, the enemy will soon connect the gates of the world," Sandora frowned. "There is no time to slowly occupy two planets at this time..."
"Isn't this simple? Leave it to me." Xiaoxue's voice came from behind. When I turned around, I saw this naughty child pointing at the holographic image in front of me. She was on one of the planets in the Sovereign Hub. Mark a small area on it, "Don't use eop-03, just use Xinghe to plow the land. Don't blow up this area."
...This child is quite flexible in using his abilities.
Sandora nodded and sent the coordinates marked by Xiaoxue to the fleet. Then came the order for an orbital bombardment.
Due to the damage definition system used above the sovereignty hub, the powerful Galaxy main gun was very powerless against this shield. Our first round of bombing was completed by the secondary guns of each fleet and a large number of small warships. The powerful planetary shield flickered violently for a moment in the face of an astonishing amount of artillery bombardment, and then quickly disintegrated. What follows is the much-loved Galaxy Plowing: the charged Galaxy main cannon sweeps across the earth's crust, and a single stroke is enough to cut the plates. Although the two artificial planets are built according to the standards of military fortresses, they have solid structures and high resistance. Sexual shell, but after all, it could not withstand such an astonishing amount of eternal-level ravages. After a while, there was only a molten liquid metal ocean and storm clouds filled with psionic energy on the surface of the two planets.
All facilities in the Sovereign Hub were destroyed, and the fallen apostle's final control over the world disappeared.
The early warning radar confirmed that the information source pointing to this world has been temporarily cut off, and the fleet on the world barrier also sent the good news that "the world barrier has stopped resisting." This extremely well-defended world has finally fallen into the hands of the emperor. The command hall of the Imperial Admiral was filled with an exciting atmosphere. Although I feel that the battle has just begun, and there are still many tough battles waiting for me, I still can't help but feel a sense of excitement - but I have not forgotten the business.
"The environment down here is not very friendly." Sandora looked at the image of the Sovereign Hub on the holographic projection. The two planets are now two groups of semi-melted slag, wrapped in a layer of strong energy storms, and the galaxies are plowing the ground. The planet turned into a purgatory, and only the database marked by Xiaoxue survived in the form of an isolated island. "Send two engineering ships over, salvage the database, and assemble the space laboratory on the spot to see what is inside the fallen apostle." Something happened."
Two heavily armored engineering ships specially designed to operate on the battlefield were released from the Imperial Admiral's transverse arm and went to salvage the vital database in the "ocean of slag", a kind of The special operation ship commonly known as the "beacon ship" directly deployed a coordinate guidance tower nearby: This device can amplify the navigation signal across the void. Now that the world has temporarily settled down, it is also time to integrate the Celestial System Fleet and the Revenge Fleet. Sent to the front line.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, I always feel...
This war seemed very, very wrong, the rhythm was wrong, and I had no sense that I was about to win. (To be continued.
