Chapter 1549 Speed

The mystery of the energy source for the early activation of the New Army has been revealed. The answer is a bit bizarre, but it is consistent with their extreme nature and the destructiveness of Xiling Technology - the power from the end of the world.

The Xiling civilization's definition of "energy" is different from that of ordinary races. In fact, all races that have developed into cross-world civilizations will have a completely new definition of energy. For a race trapped in its own universe and unable to access the void, the upper limit of energy is the existing products in their universe. Their definition of energy will be very narrow and often limited to their own world view, which is the cycle of a closed universe. System, however, for a cross-world civilization, "energy" must be an open concept. The reason is very simple——

When you leave your home universe, many things may immediately become ineffective. For example, organisms that rely on oxygen cannot survive in a vacuum without carrying their own oxygen. Civilizations that rely on the energy of their own world will often find the familiar "energy" in other universes. "It doesn't exist at all in other worlds, or even though it exists, it has completely different circulation rules. This is the result of the differences in the world. The extreme example is of course the Void Quadrant. Therefore, figuring out the "conversion" between the Void Quadrants and making all levels of energy universal in other universes is the first lesson that cross-world civilizations must master.

Under this requirement, the concept of energy becomes broader, and "high-level energy" has a higher and wider scope of application. Whether it is holy light or psionic energy, whether it is other divine arts of the Star Domain Protoss or the power of truth used by the Huron Protoss, it is ultimately a "first force" or "first driving force" (isn't it very... Familiar concept?), of course, this first driving force is only symbolically similar to the "power of God" that mankind has been pursuing, but it is still different in essence. For cross-world civilizations, all "factors that cause the fluctuation of information" are energy, and psionic energy and holy light are only the specific manifestations of this "factor".

The so-called "information fluctuation" sounds very high-level, but in fact it is easy to understand when considering the "zero" characteristic of the void: anything or process that is not zero on the void level (such as Genesis) is an information fluctuation. All factors that can affect and produce these information fluctuations are origin-level energy.

Scholars of all races believe that there should be countless kinds of "first force". The evidence is that psionic energy can have a large number of variants due to frequency and information characteristics (the unstable psionic energy of the fallen apostles is actually a variant). The power of God can also be changed at any time due to personal habits. As long as it is the "factor" that "causes the fluctuation of information at the original level of the world", then it is located second on the ladder of the void and is the power of nether energy, holy light, and truth. Origin energy of the same level. This is why we say that nether energy is at the same level as the world: in essence, they are the "first factor" that causes the void to be non-zero.

So what could be bigger than the information ripple caused by the end of the world?

Birth can also produce energy, and destruction can also produce energy. "Information fluctuation" is a kind of increase or decrease. As long as changes occur, energy will be released. The use of this energy is inconceivable for mortal races, but Xiling Apostles are familiar with it. Just absorbing energy by annihilating the world is an extremely barbaric way, and because there is no successor, it is It is regarded as an act of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs. Even in the most "arrogant" years of the old empire, this was only done under extreme circumstances. And basically they can only choose those lifeless wasteland universes, and with the collapse of the old empire, this technology of extracting "doomsday power" also disappeared... Now it seems that it has not disappeared. The new army doesn't know where to find it. He found the incomplete records of this technology and restored it!

The big box behind Abyss Xiling kept making a low humming sound, and her figure flickered from time to time, which showed that most of her energy was focused on her "body". The amount of data left for this interactive interface was already very low, but after half a minute she completed the confirmation of each military node, and nodded with a heavy face to confirm her intelligence again: "I re-checked the telemetry of the new army territory from the telemetry station. Records, confirming that most of their universe has disappeared, and the huge original energy generated by the fluctuation of information has been transferred to this place."

"Isn't this going to make a big noise?" I was still shocked. "You didn't notice any news at all?"

"The movement was really loud, but they used all kinds of crazy military operations to cover it up, and these apocalypse was completed in a very short time. Unless it was predicted in advance, even I would not have time to react," Abyss Xiling Frowning, it seemed that her crazy half was making her miserable, "These crazy people... I didn't expect that my crazy other half would still retain such a high level of strategy even if it was transformed into an obsession program. It's really As expected of a guy from the same origin as me.”

"Okay. We can talk about curve self-interest later. Let's solve the immediate problem first." I waved my hand to interrupt Abyss Xiling's complaint, and turned to look at the holographic projection: it is obviously quite far from the fleet's position to the starting end, because The spatiotemporal properties of the startup end are distorted. We cannot rely on light path observation to determine where the latter is. Although you can see the huge light column that stretches across the sky and the earth, it is actually tens of billions of light years away from here, and there are many obstacles in this distance. : The holographic projection displays the currently detected space wave feed pattern. From the starting end outward, there are layers of interference barriers. The spatial coordinates are disrupted and reorganized on these interference barriers, causing the spacecraft to only move forward every time it jumps. The distance is quite limited, and as soon as the fleet leaves the jumping state, it will immediately be greeted by crazy interception firepower. Although some of the firepower is dispersed by the induced beacon, the universe is almost full of enemies, and their offensive is still frantic!

"How far has it awakened?" I can only consult the situation from Abyss Xiling, the only expert on the scene. The only good news now is that the startup end is extremely complicated. Even if the New Army solves its energy problem, this thing It also requires a tedious step to start... This is the only time we have.

"It seems that most of the energy they obtained through Annihilation of the World has been lost, or does not match, so the starting end has not fully woken up." Abyss Xiling continued to exchange data with its own nodes, calculating the distance between the starting end and the fully awakened end. How much time is left? "As long as they are delayed in continuing to recharge, it should be enough for the fleet to get there."

Qian Qian frowned: "Is it worth it for them to blow up all their territory to activate this thing? Then even if they build the bridge, they will have no place to stand."

"As long as the bridge is erected, they will have a territory that will never fall inside the long bridge. Why do they need the territory of the Order World?" Abyss Xiling smiled bitterly, "If the calculation is correct, the Void Long Bridge itself has unlimited Space expansion potential, and even without expansion, it is enough to lay down all the troops of the New Army, so their goal is very clear: as long as they occupy the Long Bridge, the life and death of the Order World has nothing to do with them. They may destroy all civilizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and now they are bombing Losing your own territory to use as energy source... is not a big deal."

"Warning, the first batch of induced beacons have been destroyed."

"Warning, the second batch of induced beacons will be destroyed... all other induced beacons will be destroyed"

At this moment, a continuous alarm sound suddenly came from the ship-based host computer, and the mirror troops we launched were finally wiped out after enduring a large amount of intercepting firepower. Immediately afterwards, red shadows like a swarm of locusts suddenly appeared on the radar. These red shadows surrounded the imperial fleet. They were only one astronomical unit away. However, the enemies represented by these shadows could not be seen around the fleet now because they They are all "information precursors" projected before space transmission, which Lin Xue marked on the early warning system in a special way.

The fleet had just completed a space jump that was not far enough and was intercepted halfway by the enemy's interference barrier set up in space. The jump engine is cooling down, so this wave of enemies can only be resisted. Fortunately, the prophet gave a reaction time in advance, and the fortress ship immediately began to put in additional joint shields. At the same time, Sandora ordered to release all the remaining induction beacons.

Anyway, if this battle fails... the entire Imperial fleet, including the induction beacon, will be useless.

The fleet quickly exchanged positions with the induction beacon, disrupting the mapping relationship on the space coordinates. Some enemies were confused by the mirror image, but there were still a considerable number of interception forces emerging from the space around the imperial fleet, and then seemed to be crazy. Like a pack of wolves, they pounced.

The joint shield fluctuated violently again. The main guns of the Imperial Admiral also fired frequently and personally entered the battle. This time the interception force was no longer limited to intercepting with hyperspace firepower. They had a large number of spaceships braving the ferocious torrent of psionic energy to tear open the space and rush directly towards the Imperial Army. This formation, while bombarding them indiscriminately, crashed into them crazily!

The Imperial fleet turned on the special antenna system while fighting, trying to intercept something useful from the enemy's communication network, but except for some short and temporary instructions with little confidential value. There is just a big noise roaring in all channels. After filtering, this noise has only one meaning: destroy, destroy, destroy! !

"At the beginning of the battle, there were some relatively rational communication messages. As the battle progressed, it was gradually completely controlled by obsession..." Abyss Xiling closed her eyes, "That cluster consciousness... Her remaining crazy thoughts have been She has begun to invade the nodes. She was originally a product of the network, but now she is eroding her own network. What a sad cluster consciousness, and there are equally sad nodes... Destroy them, this is the best relief for them. "

"It's easy for you to say," Sandora continued to spread her spiritual power, and now she was slightly tired. She glared at Abyss Xiling, "What about the two legions that are left in this universe? No. Are they saying they will be able to join forces soon? What are they doing?"

"It's right next to the start-up terminal, but unfortunately it's completely inaccessible..."

Abyss Xi Ling was interrupted by an emergency call coming from the communicator: "Brother General! Brother General, did you hear that? There is a situation on this ship. You really hit the mark." Ah! A bunch of enemies appeared out of nowhere!"

This was the voice of the two lunatics. As expected, the enemy began to attack the traffic artery.

But my first reaction when I heard the report from the Second Madman was that I was stunned: Why are the New Army still attacking at this time?

I was worried about the enemy attacking the traffic artery before because I didn't know the situation of the Serenity Core at that time, and I didn't know that the activation terminal would be activated in advance. I felt that this battle would last for a long time, or even last for several days. In this In this case, of course the enemy needs to capture the traffic arteries to increase the chance of victory, but now look at this distorted world - the startup end is almost fully activated, and the time left for the Imperial Army is probably less than a few hours, and the new army has been completely Giving up their territory, they don't need to occupy any fortress world at all... Why did those crazy people suddenly appear now?

But my confusion did not last long, Abyss Xiling suddenly reacted: "They are just short of the last bit of energy!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the central projection, where there was a magnificent white beam of light...

The New Army generates energy by annihilating the world and catalyzes the start-up end in advance, but they don't know enough about the start-up end. Therefore, the energy generated by the first round of Doomsday did not completely "wake up" the start-up side. They were still a little bit away...but the absolute control zone of the New Army should have no universe that can be used for annihilation, except for the Serenity Core and the surrounding areas. In addition to the several defense lines that the world cannot move, they must find energy from other places... that is the universe that has just been defeated by the Protoss and the Imperial Army!

"Second Madman! We must hold that place! We must not let an enemy cross it!" I almost threw myself on the communicator. The Second Madman was stationed at one of the most critical transportation nodes. Once her defense line was broken through, the new The army can march forward and quickly destroy several other universes that have little resistance: those worlds have just been captured. The various defensive fortresses and sovereignty hubs have not yet been completed, and most of the garrison troops are servants with weak combat effectiveness. It will only take ten minutes for the new army to destroy those universes!

I quickly sent more information to Madman Er through the mental network. The other party was silent for a moment, and then I heard a familiar roar: "Then kill all those brats! This universe is the general's property, and this ship will kill them all." Invading army. Victory always belongs to the general! Charge! Charge! Blow them up, blow them up!!"

"Stick to the defense line. I will ask the Seventh Legion to return to the defense immediately to help you. Anyway, they are intercepted outside the core of tranquility..."

"No! Take down the Serenity Core, and I will try to survive until then. I swear on my name that I will definitely defend this place! This ship is now... equipped with a main gun!!"

Then the communication was rudely disconnected.

He really has the character of that crazy person...

"Now I can only believe her." Sandora looked up at the starting end that was still several leaps away. The huge light pillar remained unchanged, but everyone knew that once the new army collected the final energy, It will cut off the hope of survival of all ordered worlds on both sides of the void - the catastrophe may not break out in full force, but the crazy and invincible new army will bring more suffering than the catastrophe. "All troops, give up counterattack. Shrink the formation, Increase the joint shield to maximum processing, and concentrate all the energy... on the engine! The beam of light will be destroyed even if it hits!"

"Rumble--" A low roar came from deep underground in the command hall. All the power furnaces of the Imperial Admiral entered a state of full overload as never before. Not only the Imperial Admiral, but all spaceships in the entire fleet began to be overloaded. With our own power core, we temporarily gave up counterattack firepower against the enemy's interception forces. And shrink the joint shield to the limit, which will cause greater damage to all spacecraft, but it can speed up the cooling of the jump engine and even forcefully break through part of the space barrier.

Withstand enemy fire. The Imperial fleet began to organize its formation, and at the same time, all the jump engines emitted a strong light, and they could jump again within a few minutes: the interference caused by the enemy's space barrier to these engines had been greatly suppressed.

"Gah——" The little crow suddenly jumped down from his seat. This silly bird that always had some strange ideas jumped around uneasily, as if it felt that the surrounding energy environment had changed. Speaking of which...does this girl really know what's going to happen now? In my impression, she always seems to be an ignorant child...

The little crow finally jumped over here and tugged at my sleeve and swung it around. I pressed her hair and said, "It's okay. It's the last battle. The three masters of the void are all here."

Xiaoniao looked at the people around her. She should still understand the current situation, but I suddenly felt that it was a mistake to bring these children out - what if this battle cannot be won? People die in war!

But I quickly put this idea behind me: If this battle cannot be won... then no world in the entire void will be safe, and all worlds of order will be finished. Staying at home and rushing to the battlefield will just mean death. The place is just different.

So we might as well try to win this battle...and I don't think I'm going to lose.

The three great masters of the void are all here.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Xing Chen next to me: "Can you use another big move? How about blowing up the entire Serenity Core?"

Of course I am joking. After all, if the core of tranquility is blown up, although the new army will not be able to build the bridge, all the preparations made by Abyss Xiling to build the bridge will be in vain, and everyone will still be finished when the catastrophe comes. But even though he knew I was joking, Xingchen still thought about it seriously and then shook his head: "No, this world is very well-defended. Although my power can destroy it, it will take time, and the starting point feels very strange." …I’m afraid the end of the world may not necessarily affect that thing.”

I shrugged: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

At this moment, I suddenly felt a purple flash of light next to me, and then... the little crow disappeared!
