Chapter 971: Arresting People

(Still asking for monthly votes, I will not forget this until the last day of this month!!!)

Three expeditionary forces that went to the front line to raid the scientific research world of the Fallen Apostles have already fought with the enemy. They used the void rifts in those three worlds as breakthrough points and successfully attacked the enemy's defense line. The scale of those void rifts was larger than we expected. This gave the expeditionary force great convenience. According to the intelligence fed back from the front line, the soldiers could almost imagine how violent the out-of-control experimental subject was before it left the territory of the fallen apostles - "it" was like an angry bullet, piercing through several worlds in a row, one after another. A terrifying blood hole the size of a planet was left in the universe. As a result, the sovereign world of the fallen apostles "bleeded endlessly". Planets were deleted from history due to the evaporation of information. This is simply shocking to the scientific research world. A terrifying loss - this means that a lot of new information will be disappeared from any records in the most thorough way, unless they are stored in the database in the mental network in advance, but obviously, things that are still being studied will not appear in public databases.

At a moment specially chosen by Lin Xue (this moment may help guide the future in a better direction, but the eldest lady will never explain why she chose this way. In her words, the head of a certain piece of wood is not enough to understand. The power of butterfly wings - I'm sorry for this), the Imperial Admiral and the Royal Fleet have left the starport. Under the cover of the death courtyard system, we quickly approached the fallen apostle along the safe and hidden path that the expeditionary force had previously explored. territory. However, we did not go to any of the three scientific research worlds that were at war. Instead, we headed towards a void interval that had never appeared in the coordinate database (a void information band where worlds or other entities may exist). The course was still unclear at the beginning. On the path explored by the expeditionary force, but after three jumps, we have entered an unfamiliar area. As you might guess, this direction was also directed by the eldest lady. Although she couldn't quite understand what was on the navigation device, she knew what symbols should be displayed on the navigation device in a suitable future. certainly. She could only indicate a vague position. According to this position, the fleet could not enter any definite orderly world. After all, she could not directly locate the escaped experimental subject, and the information obtained through indirect positioning was always It's very vague, but it's enough, and the fleet can already save a lot of time.

to be honest. I am very envious of the eldest lady's ability to control the navigation device without understanding it at all. This will obviously be used to great advantage in the exam. It should be able to replace "choose c method". After all, it's the same thing for me in both cases: I can't figure out what it is, but I can still fill in the answer...

As the fleet advances, we maintain open communication with the three frontline forces. The headquarters has been transferred to the bridge of the Imperial Admiral. Sandora and senior staff are directing three battles that are breaking out simultaneously at infinite distances. , I was pretending to help with suggestions, and Lilina was pretending to admire her. Qian Qian pretended that she was serious - but in fact, apart from sitting very upright, she had already started to have snot bubbles in her nose.

The fighting on the front line lasted for more than ten minutes. When the Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostles had entered into a formal battle, a frontline commander suddenly sent back information: "Your Majesty! The situation here is not quite right!"

Sandora's eyes immediately flickered: "Report your findings."

"Your Majesty. The number of garrison troops is far lower than expected. I mean the enemy's mobile troops - the most intense artillery fire we encountered came from the semi-fixed outpost fortresses and space fortresses in space. The number of Fallen Apostles' ships was less than half that of the former. !”

I glanced at Sandora: "Could it be that the experimental subject destroyed too many battleships when it ran away, causing the fallen apostle to have no ships available now? You know, we destroyed that one in the ruined world at that time. Lan’s main force.”

"No matter how great their losses were in the encounter in the ruined world, the remaining fleet in the mainland cannot be dealt with by a mere semi-void creature," Sandora said quickly, "The strongest thing in the empire is the fleet, not a certain individual. As an individual, you can't defeat a fleet, let alone just a copy. God knows where those spaceships are."

"At least it seems to be a good thing now," my sister interjected, asking Sandora, "But should we be careful about our rear?"

Sandora's eyes narrowed: "You mean, the fallen apostles may have noticed the movements of the imperial fleet. They showed ignorance in order to deceive others and in turn raid Shadow City or other imperial territories?"

Qian Qian, who was feeling extremely sleepy, listened briefly and suddenly opened her mouth to sum up an idiom: "Surround Shu to save Zhao..."

It took me a long time to realize that what she wanted to say was to surround Wei and save Zhao...

Sandora's expression became serious. Obviously her sister's worries are not impossible in her opinion. The fallen apostles are the most dangerous enemies you can imagine. They are as harmful as the abyss, and they are much more cunning than the latter. You have to guard against Lily. Na was also on guard against their damaging moves.

I couldn't help but cast my eyes on the eldest lady, who squinted her eyes slightly, with white light flashing in her eyes: "Fifty percent chance."

I asked her to explain.

Lin Xue showed an apologetic expression on his face: "Two futures appeared at the same time. I have never encountered this situation. In the first future, the fallen apostles lost three worlds in this raid, and we won a great victory. And they found the so-called 'copy' that was causing trouble. In the second future, they counterattacked the Shadow City. We almost lost the Revenge Army base and half of the arsenal. The two futures appeared at the same time, completely overlapping each other. I don't think so. I know what happened, but...it seems that a previous prophecy triggered a paradox, causing a problem with the screening mechanism in my mind. How will you make a decision now?"

The eldest lady's prophecies never show such serious contradictions. She always has only two answers: she saw it, or she didn't see it. Even if the other party's interference is serious, the things she sees are just a little blurry, but now. She saw two almost completely opposite directions at the same time, which made several of us look at each other worriedly, but Lin Xue remained calm: "For the time being, I can feel that this is temporary. Now we still think about what we should do." What should I do, whether to return to defend Shadow City, or continue to intercept the experimental subject - I have to remind you. That experimental subject will be a very troublesome guy. Although I couldn't see the opponent's identity clearly in several prophecies, as long as When it comes to that target, I feel very unhappy and have the urge to beat people up.”

Sandora looked at my reaction. She is a military strategist, but she is not good at relying on intuition to decide things. At this time she wanted to see my opinion, and I thought about it. He waved his hand vigorously: "The fleet continues to move forward. Let Shadow City strengthen its vigilance, and the Garden of Death will be fully powered. If any abnormal information bursts out in the void, it will be saturated and struck immediately."

In the end, I shrugged to Sandora: "I can only think of these stupid ways."

"Stupid methods are often very effective," Sandora nodded and refocused her attention on the battle report. "The first and third teams have detonated the 'bombs' near the void rift. Now the void erosion of the target world The phenomenon is rapidly intensifying, and enemy sentries deployed near the gap and facilities filling the gap have suffered serious damage. The military objective is half completed."

Everything that happened next seemed to be according to our plan. The Fallen Apostle's severely insufficient defense force was quickly broken through by the Imperial fleet. Perhaps those guys who were already mentally disturbed never thought that they would be bombed by a fleet in their own homeland (of course, they did not expect that the Imperial Army already had the conditions to monitor their communications: equipment and experts), and their slow response at the beginning was It caused huge casualties to them, and then came the "gifts" dropped by the raiding fleet in the void rift. These gifts caused the full-dimensional rift in space that was originally only the size of half a moon to explode to nearly the size of a star in a thousandth of a second. Faster than the speed of light, all the space fortresses set up by the fallen apostles were unable to escape, and were torn to pieces by the rampaging void power. All subsequent military operations were carried out in minutes, and the landing craft were attacked by the Ravens. The humanoid nuclear bombs were delivered to the scientific research planet that had been plowed by naval guns several times. After looting and dismantling some databases, the humanoid nuclear bombs burned all the equipment, and of course - they left the shell of the research facility behind.

However, we don’t think we can take this opportunity to grab much technology from the research facilities of the fallen apostles. Everyone knows that there are actually two strongest technologies in the Xiling Empire, one is psionic technology, and the other is various kinds of technology. Self-destruction... Those databases that were violently dismantled were later proven to have been cleared by their original operators.

Of course, another regret is that the three worlds where we have the coordinates are all centers of scientific research. For a scientific research base, without scientific and technological data, there is actually no value in looting. This attack by the Imperial Army It is destined to only cause damage to the enemy but cannot gain much benefit for the new empire.

But it's better than nothing.

The fast maneuvering spacecraft that was the first to rush through the defense line traced spiral trajectories at sub-light speed in space, as if outlining a large number of intricate lines behind the Fallen Apostle's defense line, and then again from the flank before the enemy's counterattack came. Charging towards the enemy is a typical Xiling apostle-style desperate act. The commander designates a target, and as long as two conditions are met: the target is not dead, and he is not dead, the assault troops will charge endlessly, and any All means of blocking other than a frontal attack are in vain. The fallen apostle spaceships that had reacted clearly knew the fighting methods of their former compatriots. The frigate clusters on the periphery began to disperse at maximum speed. Facing the assault-type spaceships known for their high firepower and explosive power, the frigates with weak defenses gave up. The joint shield turned to use space and mobility to fight against the imperial fleet. The back of the defense line began to engage in melee with basic units of 10,000 kilometers, and battle losses began to appear frequently in the fleets of both sides.

After detonating "bombs" and opening a huge rift in the void, the second wave of assault ships chose to form a temporary fortress. Some specially designed devices protruded from the armor plates of the spaceships, combining three to four spaceships into a A weird-looking space fortress. These building-block-like combinations create a joint shield that is far greater than one or two. At the same time, the energy light travels on the armor plate and focuses into a powerful artillery attack. This is a combination of offense and defense. Method - This structure was generated after Carter's suggestion and Tavel's targeted research. The battleships used by the Fallen Apostles are compared with conventional imperial battleships. The most significant advantage is to use the violent abyss power to increase the explosive power of all equipment. Their attack power in the first three waves will be stronger than any ordinary spacecraft. In response to this situation, the Sixth Fleet experimentally improved its tactics. And equipment, small spaceships greatly increase their explosive speed, while large spacecrafts work hard on joint shields and cluster artillery, in order to withstand the enemy's firepower in the fatal first round of attacks, and then it will be much easier—— The power of the abyss is still harmful to the fallen apostle. Their artillery cannot sustain over-limit firing for a long time, and those Sun Tzu are unable to succeed. Now, the new tactics provided by the third intelligence core have shown results. On the battlefield facing the bombardment, the Imperial Army has shown for the first time Suppressive posture.

"The enemy's reinforcements will appear in twenty minutes," Lin Xue muttered, rubbing her aching forehead. Some kind of unconfirmed interference always made it difficult for her to concentrate. "Thirteen minutes later, the gravity trap they used to seal off the battlefield will begin to weaken periodically. That is the best time to evacuate. Team 3. Your time is at the fifteenth minute."

"The fleet understands." the frontline commander immediately replied.

"Their universe seems empty," Sandora is already studying the environmental monitoring reports sent back from the front line. The scanning information from the 423,000 deep space probes is gradually outlining the strange scenes in the territory of the fallen apostles. , "Except for those planets man-made by madmen, the number of distant celestial bodies is extremely rare, and almost no formed stars or planets can be seen in the deep space. Within 10 billion light-years scanned. All the mass comes from those objects that are undergoing chaos at high speeds. Clouds of chemical reactions and dark mass regions, the former usually has a radius of millions of light years. The Milky Way looks like it has been crushed, and the latter is just some empty space. There is not even dark matter, but it has the attribute of 'mass'. Could this be what the world destroyed by the abyss will look like after it is put back together again?"

"This ghost place is definitely provoking the dignity of scientists. Tavel will get excited," Lin Xue muttered, covering his head. "There is no need for our soldiers to die in a place like this. Let's prepare them to withdraw."

Sandora stared closely at the information screen in front of her: "No, wait a minute, they just infiltrated an abandoned space fortress and may have discovered something."

Almost as soon as Shandora finished speaking, a frontline commander sent back a message: "Your Majesty! We found a log file that we didn't have time to clear!"

The log file was quickly deciphered. It was a set of unencrypted general information and contained a damage report.

"The experimental subject lurked for a short period of time after losing control, and then suddenly broke out and attacked multiple worlds in succession. The research institute that was attacked recorded the experimental subject's last action pattern in the hope of locking in the target's next action," Sando La flipped through the information transmitted from the front line, "According to predictions, the experimental subject may attack a window universe called cx-8. Jumping from this window universe can directly enter the area that the fallen apostles cannot monitor. The experimental subject will be completely escaped. Oh my God...I know where all the enemy warships have gone!"

We have clear expressions on our faces: There is no doubt that the enemy has discovered the clues about the escaping experimental subject, and they have sent out the remaining garrison to capture the target. Therefore, the defense forces in these three scientific research worlds are Abnormally weak, then what we have to do next is to grab time!

"The location of CX-8 is recorded in the log," Sandora glanced at Lin Xue, then nodded to me, "It's on our current course, and we can reach it in two jumps."

I lightly touched Lin Xue's arm: "Well done, go take a rest and leave the rest to us."

The eldest lady muttered and left, saying before leaving: "As soon as possible, don't let the experimental subject be captured by the fallen apostles, otherwise the trouble will be too big."

The Royal Fleet quickly adjusted its engines. In the next six minutes, the fleet made two terminal jumps. We have now entered a completely unfamiliar area. Even the outposts at the edge of the macro world cannot see the situation here. The last void node has just been crossed. If the void is regarded as a tape, then we have now entered the blank area between the two songs-further forward, it is cx-8, which belongs to the territory of the fallen apostle.

"I never thought that we would be so close to the territory of the fallen apostle so soon, even though it is just an isolated island on the border." Sandora sighed, and ordered the fleet to increase the stealth level to the limit and jump into the main matter world.

I shrugged: "But on the other hand, the Fallen Apostles have attacked so many times in our territory. Azeroth, Keprulu, almost inland, we should have vented our anger long ago."

But despite saying this, I don’t seem to be too nervous. Although this is a historic moment-the first time the imperial army attacks the homeland of the fallen apostles, this strange sense of smoothness is very strange. It seems that we are Should it be more serious, hold a meeting in advance, organize a one-day swearing-in event, etc.? Anyway, I feel a little strange, but there is still no sense of crisis. This may be because Lin Xue has always been very relaxed.

cx-8 is a dark red world.

The entire universe is dark red, and this depressing spectrum fills the entire space, everything in our sight, including the nebula and tornadoes that may be a few light years away that stretch like mountains and the huge red ones hanging against the black space background. The spheres are all floating with a dark red halo, and these colors are caused by red shift.

The entire universe is redshifting.

But this is wrong - red shift should be based on the presence of light waves. Space should be dark, and only something that actually exists is the source of light, such as a star or a blazing cloud. But in fact , the entire universe is glowing and redshifted...how is this possible?

Sandora said slowly: "When the abyss arrived, it was probably undergoing a big explosion. The universe was a hot and bright pot of soup at that moment. Then the abyss destroyed its development process, and the remaining fragments turned into a A incomplete snapshot, the abnormal physical phenomena we see should be the solidified 'scenery', but the 'scenery' here is not just pictures, but also includes real events. The data shows the edge of cx-8 It is still fragmenting and will be eliminated by the abyss in about tens of thousands of years. This is an excellent research object. If Tavel is here..."

Tavel's mass projection suddenly appeared next to her, and she pushed up her glasses: "Yes, Your Majesty, your subordinates are here."

I smiled at Sandora: "Do you think she might not submit the accompanying application?"

Everyone looked helpless, and a report came from the command hall: "Your Majesty! A fleet assembly was detected within the radar range!!" (To be continued)
