Chapter 946 I Almost Didn’t Recognize It

Chapter 946 I almost didn’t recognize it

The ghost ship Lan encountered was a wedge. It seems that starting from this, the ghost ship fleet began to appear frequently near the macroworld network. Even a few recent extreme cases have shown that they are invading our civilian shipping routes head-on and have gradually threatened To the stability of the macro world.

Although this threat is now very subtle, and those "void pumice stones" can be ignored by simply increasing the early warning level and protection strength of the teleportation device, there is no doubt that this has begun to arouse the extremely high vigilance of the Imperial Military.

Today is the fifth day after encountering the first ghost ship that launched a counterattack. In the past five days, we have basically received about three reports of "foreign objects invading the transmission channel" every day. Some of the foreign objects found in the reports are Huge starships, and some are amazing habitable structures. The reason why we call them this weird name is because those behemoths are not starships. They have power and jump devices, but the structure They are completely different from any known starship. They do not have heavy shields and armor, but they have layers of protective structures, which are like sponges filled with large and small compartments. These irregularly shaped There is a strong residual reaction of life in the things, indicating that a huge number of residents once lived in them - of course they are now dead. These structures are basically damaged, and only the compartments inside are left with decomposed organic matter. Dust, if it weren't for the strong solidification force field around it, these behemoths would have been shattered into pieces in the void.

Due to the increasingly dense phenomenon of ghost ships, the macroworld network has recently raised the alert level. All civilian transmission applications have been centralized and processed. Some civilian channels near peripheral routes have been temporarily closed. Personnel from all walks of life who need to teleport need to transfer from It takes a while to transit through nearby worlds to reach the station, which puts some pressure on those transiting worlds, because the local censors and commissioners have to find ways to deal with the travel of many colleagues from other worlds who should not pass by them at all. problem, and it cannot affect the normal order of this world. It is said that Wu Geng Liuli recently submitted no less than ten reports to the Space and Time Administration on this matter: more than two hundred Cybertronians plan to form a group to reverse train from her world to Marfa mainland, and Liuli really didn’t know how to explain to her sisters why there were suddenly more than a hundred luxury sports cars and more than a hundred heavy bombers in the family. The prerequisite was that she had a place to house those Cybertronians. if……

Therefore, we had to launch many countermeasures, including adding auxiliary personnel to all border outposts of the Macroworld Network, sending some special time-space support to local prosecutors, etc. These things made the magical girls of the Space-Time Administration... …The Ravens are very busy. I don’t know if we should urgently send some people to the Xizhimen Overpass to observe and learn professional knowledge such as traffic management.

Of course, we are not ignoring the ghost ships that frequently invade the Macro World Network. The Ministry of Military Command has recruited a large number of servant soldiers to enter the Macro World Network to clean out ghost ships that do not understand the rules like viruses in the blood vessels. Servants The advantage of the army's large number and wide distribution has been put to good use this time, and in the past year, under Sandora's instruction, the headquarters has been expanding military stations everywhere within the macroworld network. These military stations have provided extremely strong mobilization for the servant army. Ability, every ghost ship incident that has occurred so far has been properly handled as soon as possible.

However, these are only temporary treatments after all. If you want to cure the root cause, you should figure out what those ghost ships are as soon as possible.

It is very regrettable that since the last time Lan encountered it, the ghost ship with controllable signs has never appeared again. The patrols have always encountered the silent wreckage of the spacecraft. We have not found anything from those wreckage. There were no traces of any living things, and no navigation logs could be found for reference. The spacecraft seemed to have been abandoned for who knows how many years. Except for the engine, the strongest thing on it, which was still intact, all the auxiliary systems were completely scrapped. To start with the ghost, It is really difficult for the ship itself to find out their origin.

The only thing that is certain is that our previous guesses were correct: all ghost ships come from a huge fleet.

And this total fleet is currently gradually approaching the macroworld network.

In a general void system, all worlds are randomly distributed like bubbles, separated by voids, and are independent and have no intersection. However, since the establishment of the macro world, the situation has changed after these worlds are connected to each other. The macroworld network gradually formed a huge information entanglement. Its scale shocked even the gods. These macroworlds, like villages connected by highways extending in all directions, formed a continuous piece in the void. Although there is no physical or Conceptually speaking, they are "closer", but they have indeed become a "whole" in another sense, and the ghost fleet is similar to the macro world. They may be composed of tens of millions of starships. These starships are losing their After taking control, they should have immediately dispersed and become a large number of irrelevant fragments in the void, washed away like a handful of sand thrown into the rapids. However, the size of the ghost fleet itself caused these starships to lose control after Still gathering together, still floating around in small groups. Now, two behemoths with the same destination in terms of organizational form have slowly drifted closer. Their edges have touched each other, and no one knows when a larger-scale collision will occur.

Like the past few days, I rushed to the headquarters early this morning to hear the latest news about the ghost fleet, and to study the search plan for the ghost fleet itself with Sandora.

It's a bit hard for me to say that a lot of my family members are typical military illiterates, like Qian Qian or Lin Xue, who are of no use in military strategy, so they can play by themselves in peace and contentment. But I'm obviously no better than them, so why do I have to come to military meetings every day and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf?

"Because the function of the wood is basically similar to the feathers on the head of the Indian chief. Although it is not useful, the chief thinks it is quite useful... Wow!"

The above is what the venomous lady complained to me in private. The last syllable was because I was twisting that girl’s ears.

The senior cadre sent by the Military Integration Department to make the report was a tall and thin young officer who was one of the new generation of Xiling apostles. He was originally the aide-de-camp of Kaios, the commander-in-chief of the psychic assault force, and was later recommended by his superior. The Military Command serves as the senior overseer of the servant army. He is currently fully responsible for clearing ghost ships within the Macro World Network. Shandora, my sister, and a group of commanders from the headquarters are forming a circle to listen to his report.

"So far, the ghost ships encountered have been divided into two disposal options. The small and non-responsive ghost ships were destroyed immediately as soon as they were discovered. The large and powerful ghost ships were equipped with tracking devices and then expelled into the void. We hope Those ghost ships equipped with tracking probes can lead us to find the main body of the entire fleet. As for the ghost ship with counterattack capabilities that the patrol team encountered in the transmission channel five days ago, it only appeared once, and then again in the next few days. No show."

Shandora was sitting in the position of supreme commander with an expression on her face and she was concentrating on it. I was dozing next to me with an expression on her face. It wasn’t that I wasn’t paying attention to this matter. The main thing was that the reports in the past few days basically had the same content, Ghost. Things like fleets wander around in the void with no rules at all. Whether they can find their main force depends on luck, so I felt a little sleepy after listening to it.

Sandora calmly squeezed my waist from behind, and nodded gently while maintaining the majesty of the emperor: "That ghost ship should be just a special case, don't waste too much energy. Now we release the tracking probe Any progress on the needle?”

An intelligence officer sitting in the headquarters seat stood up: "There is some progress. At present, we can confirm that the ghost fleet does have a larger cluster. This cluster is hidden deep in the void, but it is slowly approaching the macro world network. , the first batch of probes launched has been tracking the ghost ship for five days now, and the feedback data shows that it is approaching a huge source of information disturbance, which is very likely to be the main body of the ghost fleet. Several other early batches of probes It was also reported that they encountered several ghost ships along the way. Those ghost ships wandered aimlessly within a certain void frequency, but the overall trend is still to keep getting closer to the macroworld network."

"If everything goes well, we should be able to contact the main body of the ghost fleet in a few days." Sandora rubbed her eyebrows, "Such a huge fleet is a force that cannot be ignored even in front of the empire. How do they do it? Destroyed..."

The intelligence officer lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we still have no progress on this. The ghost ship has obviously been floating in the void for too long. The energy of the attacks it has suffered has been completely eroded by the void, making it impossible to judge."

The intelligence on ghost ships is progressing slowly, mainly because the things floating around do not come from a fixed world, but wander around in the void. It is already quite difficult to scan a world from the void. Things, sometimes discovering a new world often requires a month or two of searching, not to mention that we now have to track a group of ghost ships that change locations at any time. The intelligence center has checked all the databases and has not found the source information of the ghost ship, but it is not completely sure whether they are connected with the old empire: after all, civilizations that can cross the void are extremely rare, except for the Xiling Empire. Apart from the behemoth, only a few weaker advanced civilizations registered by the Star Realm Protoss can do it, and those civilizations have been excluded, so Sandora and I both guessed that the ghost ship should probably be in the old empire. Relics left behind by certain lost civilizations that were destroyed along with the ages.

But this is also speculation.

The only good thing is that the tracking probes sent out before are working normally and have made great progress. At least now we can confirm that they are approaching the main body of the ghost fleet, and the number of ghost ships encountered along the way is also increasing. Many, if everything goes on as planned, it is only a matter of time before we find them: In this case, I can't think of any other accidents happening. The fallen apostles will not be so bold as to come to the imperial defense line and rush forward, right?

We are also studying the properties of the ghost ships themselves. In the previous encounters, in addition to the ships that were destroyed and returned to the void, the patrol also captured some ghost ships. Some of those ships are still being studied. The central part is kept, and some parts have been analyzed and placed in the headquarters for the officers to understand. What is more unexpected is that it is actually very easy to crack the ghost ship. A large number of them look like civilian ships. There are no military encryption equipment on board. A disassembly platform can dismantle the structure diagram of a ghost ship in two days. If you figure it out, you can even copy one. Although the technological system used by these spaceships is very different from that of the Empire, it is still quite simple for those imperial scientists who are not within the specifications to understand the principles of a group of backward civilian spaceships—— This is just like running, you can run sideways, you can run backwards, you can also run with your hands on the ground, anyway in Bolt's eyes, it's all the same, this is the qualitative difference...

After finally listening to the report, Sandora arranged the work of strengthening the security of Macro World Network. I quickly slipped out and breathed the fresh air outside the headquarters: listening to the report and making strategic deployment here was simply too stressful. , it is easy to think of the time when the teacher in the sixth grade of elementary school took me into the office to read the paper. I couldn’t understand what the teacher said, and the teacher couldn’t understand what I said. In fact, the paper with extremely good results depended on a dice. extraordinary performance...

I can safely follow Bingtis's suggestion and be a hands-off shopkeeper. This kind of highly professional matter is really not something that a guy like me, who has nothing to do but sit at the door with a pot of hot tea all afternoon, can take over.

While I was walking around the square idly swinging my arms, suddenly a strange and beautiful girl walked over from the corner in front.

...Listen, the point of this sentence is not about the beautiful girl, but about the stranger. Don't get it wrong.

It was a girl who looked to be in her twenties, tall and wearing a very ordinary white shirt and knee-length skirt. She also had a short bright yellow waistcoat on her upper body, and she wore simple flat shoes on her feet. She is dressed as if she is going shopping. Because her clothes are light, her figure can be easily seen. Although it cannot be compared with an extra-standard giant like Bingtis, she can still be said to have beautiful curves and a good figure. This strange girl has a beautiful figure. She had long straight black hair that reached her hips, swaying slightly with her hurried steps. This scene somehow gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After I got a little closer, I took a closer look at her profile. At a glance, the face is indeed a bit familiar, but I just can't remember who it is. It seems that I have never seen such a girl without makeup... Is there such a person in the base?

Wait, no, this place is a military base! How did the civilians get in!

I was immediately surprised when I thought of this, and quickly took two steps to ask about the situation, but the other person seemed to have already sensed me. Before I could say anything, she had already turned her face and looked over, then snapped to attention, and then It was a standard imperial military salute, which instantly made me dizzy.

"So, who are you? Family member?"

I asked casually, but the strange girl in front of me became stunned: "Your Majesty?"

I fainted as soon as the other party spoke, and then pointed at him in shock: "Hey, let me go, Tavel!?"

"Well," the plain-faced girl, who was dressed like a female college student returning from shopping, said in a strange voice, "It's me. Your Majesty looks surprised?"

I looked at the other person blankly, but finally figured out who she was. I really didn't recognize the face at first, and then I patted my forehead and muttered: "Hey, it turns out to be you. Where are your glasses?"

"I didn't wear it today. It was an auxiliary analyzer I made in the style of Earthlings. Because I didn't have work today, I didn't wear it."

That's it. The plain-faced woman in front of me, who looks a little familiar but can't even remember her, is Tavel, who was given a week-long vacation by me. But today, I can't recognize her without her glasses! And she's not wearing her signature white robe yet, which makes people feel even more strange, right? I always thought that Tavel's identity was her glasses and white robe, so that over time I almost forgot what this girl with glasses looked like...

I'm even worried that if she just hangs her white robe in the institute and puts on a pair of glasses in the future, I will think she came to work today...

"Well, I'm a little surprised." I glanced at Tavel who was in casual clothes without makeup. I felt that his casual clothes were really inconsistent. "I've never seen you wearing ordinary clothes or skirts."

"According to your order, I will take a seven-day vacation, buy new clothes that I like, and do the personal things that I like at the same time." Tavel replied solemnly, and the military style of her whole body did not match the light and fluttering dress on her body at all. Matching, "I also taught myself how to cook. This was the suggestion of Her Majesty Sandora."

I was immediately very curious and asked cheerfully: "That girl can't give you any other advice. How is your craft?"

Tavel's face suddenly turned red and turned away: "Her Majesty Shandora said she can eat it, but she doesn't like it very much..."

I was dumbfounded, feeling that this might be a worse comment than the legendary "dogs won't eat it", that is, Sandora wouldn't eat it either...

Just when I was thinking about whether the food made by Tavel could also be thrown into the spacecraft reactor as fuel, the lead researcher of the plain version suddenly coughed softly, and then looked at me expectantly: "Your Majesty, may I ask, my subordinates? Can I end my vacation early?”

I was stunned: "Isn't it good to have a holiday? Have you rested enough?"

"Actually, as long as a twelve-hour comprehensive maintenance, the body's functions will be adjusted to the best condition," Tavel lowered his head and said a little nervously, as if he had left the researcher's uniform like a shirt, and Tavel had also graduated from a military officer. Staff Fang has completely turned into a soft girl - of course, considering the various magical technologies she has developed, I think her hardness should be no worse than the astrology stone. "Now my subordinate wants to go back to the research institute, about the ghost fleet." , I may have some private discoveries..."
