Chapter 478 Scorpion Swarm Attacks! (Two-in-one)

Xinaluo's Mother Star System.

As time passed, the atmosphere in this broken star system gradually became tense.

Under the command of Ophelia, the remaining Xinaluo fleet took action again after a short repair.

They concentrated in the original Xinaluo mother star area.

After a dark matter cannon from [Gaia], this star field became the most empty place in the star system. Naturally, it became the core area of ​​the second defensive war.

In addition to the Xinaluo fleet, this empty area is also distributed with a considerable number of interstellar factories. Since arriving at Xinaluo's mother star, [Gaia] has been doing its old business again under Wang Jing's command.

In the starry sky, interstellar factories are constantly manufacturing various automatic weapons.

In just a few dozen hours, the Xinaluo star system, which was originally filled with various stellar debris, was swept away.

Meteorites, asteroids, and even a few surviving gas giants could not escape the disaster!

All materials were collected and made into corresponding weapons and equipment by interstellar factories.

Floating turrets, drones...

the main goal is to provide a large amount of them.

On the other side.

The khaki-colored investigator starship is quietly hovering next to the main star in the center of the star system.

This is a G-type main sequence star in its prime. It unreservedly radiates its own light and heat to the surroundings, doing its best to dispel the darkness in the star system.

The starship's belly hatch is open, and a series of unremarkable diamond-shaped devices emerge from it, and rush towards the main star in front of the starship in waves of extremely slight space-time fluctuations, and finally all disappear in the extremely strong light of the star.

In the starship cockpit.

Hongshi sits in the main driving seat, looking at the star model above the main console with great concentration.

In the holographic model, tiny black dots are attached to the edge of the star. Under Hongshi's control, they are connected to each other, gradually forming a looming, shocking net that is enough to wrap up the entire star!

Beside Hongshi, Isa and Gao Yuan are also concentrating on watching Hongshi's actions.

This is the most critical core of the entire defense plan, and there is no room for error.

At the same time, this is also a weapon that ranks among the top in the history of the Human Alliance War.

Even the veteran investigator Hongshi, looking at the gradually taking shape of the star network in front of her, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead - if the Academy of Sciences had not lifted all weapons bans, she would probably never have access to such a weapon in her life.

This thing is not for the Dangerous Technology Administration!

Even the Human Alliance Fleet needs to go through layers of approval before using this weapon of mass destruction!

In the distance, a barely detectable vortex continued to spread faint space-time fluctuations around.

This vortex almost perfectly blended into the surrounding deep space.

Suddenly, the speed of the vortex increased a lot, and the space-time fluctuations it caused also became much stronger.

Hongshi's heart moved, stopped the action in his hand, turned his head and looked in the direction of the vortex.

The rapidly rotating vortex seemed to be connected to an unknown alien space. At this moment, a faint yellow color suddenly appeared in the center of the vortex, as if something was drilling out of the alien space connected to the vortex.

During this process, the originally calm ocean of time and space suddenly began to surge with waves.

In the waves, the previously vague vortex became clearer, and its spinning speed began to increase again, and the speed at which the khaki color appeared also increased a lot.

Swish!

As the vortex expanded, the khaki object finally revealed its true appearance -

[Gaia] Planetary Fortress.

"Gaia, have you completed your preparations?" Looking at the planetary fortress that had already drilled out most of its body, Hongshi asked softly in the communication channel.

"Of course!" Gaia's unique voice suddenly sounded, "It's just the temporary creation of a star."

"With the output power of the zero-point energy reactor on this planet, it is naturally a piece of cake..."

Hearing this, Redstone couldn't help but raised his long eyebrows: "There are still a few hours before the giant scorpion arrives, why don't you hurry up and rub another one?"

"..."

Gaia paused, and then there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "Well... I remember, my second brother asked me to go to the second line of defense as soon as possible..."

Redstone didn't speak, but a smile appeared between his eyebrows.

"Hey! Don't laugh!" Gaia saw Hongshi's smile from the communication channel and immediately became anxious, "I'm telling the truth, my second brother really told me this, if you don't believe it, I will..."

"I believe it, I believe it." Hongshi's smile became more and more intense, she nodded, and pointed to the back of the investigator starship, "Since it is Chen Fan's order, then you should go to the second line of defense first, just in time you need some time to prepare for the next defensive battle."

Hearing this, Gaia subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right..."

"I'm telling you, it's not that I don't want to help you rub another star, this thing is very simple for me, it's really my second brother..."

As it said, it once again used the communication channel to carefully observe Hongshi's expression.

When it found that the smile on Red Stone's face had not faded at all, and even became more intense, it shuddered slightly: "Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you anymore."

"In short, you just need to know that this is just a trivial matter for me."

It muttered in a low voice, then took the initiative to cut off the communication link, and hurriedly turned to rush to the second line of defense arranged outside the star system.

Red Stone looked at the khaki planetary fortress that was getting farther and farther away outside the porthole. Perhaps it was an illusion, she actually saw the feeling of panic fleeing from the back of a planetary fortress.

"I really don't know where Gaia got this personality." Isa shook her head in annoyance on the co-pilot seat. "Obviously, it was just a bit talkative at the beginning, why is it now..."

Redstone chuckled and turned his attention back to the console in front of him: "Maybe it has been like this from the beginning, but it just didn't show it."

Isa was stunned and looked at Redstone with a confused face: "Mr. Redstone, have you... seen Gaia before?"

Redstone laughed dumbly.

"Of course not, there are not many beings like Gaia in the entire human union." She shook her head and explained casually, "But I have read Gaia's information. She has been floating in the void for so many years, and even her only eldest brother has had an accident. If it weren't for this heartless character, she would have died of depression long ago."

"Don't say a life form, look at the Xinalo civilization."

"Such a large civilization has developed alone in this universe for hundreds of thousands of years. What is the final result?"

Isa nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it."

Redstone carefully manipulated the last device to fill in the gap. Looking at the completely formed star net, she breathed a sigh of relief: "The preparations for this defensive battle are completely completed."

"Now it depends on the research progress of Academician Wang and Chen Fan."

She turned her head and looked at the porthole on the left.

With the help of the visual aid, she could easily see the TE1571 research ship docked next to the Xinaluo fleet.

Under the reflection of the starlight, the surface of the research ship was stained with a faint golden halo.

She retracted her gaze and looked at the huge star burning quietly in front of the starship again, with a little regret in her eyes.

"What a pity..."

Redstone murmured in a weak voice.

"What a pity?" Isa's eyes moved, and she curiously followed Redstone's gaze, "Are you feeling sorry for this star?"

That's normal.

No matter what the final outcome is, after this defensive battle, this star will completely disappear in the universe.

Correspondingly, the home star system of Xinaluo will also become real history - the home star is swallowed by the giant scorpion, the main star disappears, and even other stars in the star system are used as raw materials for making weapons...

Thinking of this, Isa's pretty face can't help but show some sadness.

As for Redstone...

She glanced at Isa with a strange look, and then coughed awkwardly: "That's not the case..."

"I just think that the time for preparation is too short, otherwise we can let Gaia go to the next star system to grab a few stars."

Redstone analyzed seriously: "Add to that the stars created by Gaia in the small universe, and the chance of winning the defensive battle can be increased a lot."

Isa's mouth moved, and she fell into complete silence: "..."

She still thought too much.

The investigators of the Administration, their brain circuits are really carved out of the same mold! !

...

"Warning!"

The electronic synthesis voice of the shipboard main brain suddenly sounded in the starship cockpit, breaking the silence that lasted for more than an hour: "High-intensity space-time fluctuations detected, the target will reach the first line of defense in five minutes!"

Hongshi's eyes moved, and she looked up at the holographic countdown directly above the main console.

The blood-red numbers kept jumping, almost reflecting the entire holographic display interface in blood red.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the porthole on the left side of the fleet.

At the end of the sight, the interstellar factory was still continuously manufacturing war-type drones and autonomous turrets. The Xinaluo fleet huddled together tightly, trying to contribute its only little strength to this defensive battle. As for the Human Union research ship...

there was still no movement at this time, just quietly hovering in the vast starry sky.

"Is it still too late..."

Hongshi couldn't help but think of Chen Fan's previous confident words. She closed her eyes slightly, hiding the uneasiness deep in her eyes.

After taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes again, and all the previous negative emotions were suppressed by her in her heart.

Watching the countdown that was about to return to zero, Hongshi's expression became indifferent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Attention, all units!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Open the [Space-Time Trap]!"

"Mastermind, open the data transmission channel!"

...

The first line of defense is composed of a large number of [Space-Time Trap], war drones and floating turrets.

Its main purpose is to deal with those smaller and weaker starry sky giant scorpions.

Buzz! ! !

The command from Hongshi quickly swept across the starry sky, and strong and chaotic space-time fluctuations suddenly spread out!

The calm space-time ocean also set off a huge wave at this moment! !

At this moment, a series of dark purple hideous figures gradually solidified - in the chaotic space-time created by the [Space-Time Trap], the giant scorpions were forced to interrupt the previous curvature navigation and appeared in the visible universe.

At the same time as the curvature navigation was interrupted, they rushed towards the nearest floating turrets and drones!

They waved their scorpion tails vigorously, trying to launch a fatal attack on these "targets" that still did not move!

In the cockpit of the Investigator Starship.

Under the shooting of the high-precision detector, this horrifying scene was clearly presented in front of the eyes of Hongshi and the other two.

"Sure enough..."

Hongshi's face sank, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger: "These giant scorpions have very perfect long-distance communication capabilities!"

Due to the previous home exchange strategy, theoretically, the scorpion group that first arrived at the Creation Land at this time should be the last batch to leave the Creation Land. In other words, they definitely have no experience in fighting with the Human Alliance, but looking at the current battle situation, these giant scorpions are not unfamiliar with the Human Alliance's [Time and Space Trap], and even mastered quite perfect countermeasures.

Facing the upcoming impact of the scorpion group, the drones and floating turrets still did not move at all, as if they were collectively offline!

Just when the scorpion group was about to launch a fatal attack on the drone group, the electronic synthesis voice of the shipboard main brain suddenly sounded.

"The data transmission channel has been successfully established, the current channel load is 27%, and the data channel stability is 100%."

​​Swish! ! !

The scientific research ship far behind became a communication node at this moment, and the computing power from the central main brain of the Human Alliance Academy poured down along the data transmission channel!

In an instant, Zero took over the control of all the drones and floating turrets on the scene with an unstoppable momentum!

Almost at the same time.

The drones that were originally dumbfounded in the starry sky and seemed to be offline suddenly "came to life"!

They seemed to have life, quickly locked onto each oncoming giant scorpion, and after completing the analysis of the giant scorpion's flight posture, they

opened fire! !

A series of dark lightning flashed across the starry sky, like cracks on a mirror, quickly extending to the giant scorpion in front, and finally hitting the weak defense area of ​​the giant scorpion very accurately! !

During the attack, these drones even made almost perfect evasive movements, easily avoiding the almost crazy offensive of the giant scorpion! !

They were like dancers on the tip of a knife. Not only did they not take this opportunity to distance themselves from the giant scorpion, they even took the initiative to approach the giant scorpion, and continued to counterattack under the attack of the giant scorpion's ventral foot and scorpion tail! !

Further behind.

Millions of drones soared into the sky. In the weak space-time fluctuations, almost all drones disappeared into the visible universe. The [Space-Time Trap] of the Human Alliance naturally could not affect the weapons of the Human Alliance. They had successfully entered the curvature state!

The only martial arts in the world is speed.

In front of the drones with the ability to travel at superluminal curvature, the giant scorpions that lost the ability to travel at superluminal speed were like slow-moving live targets on the battlefield!

It was just a matter of time before the deep, dark space cracks and the dark matter cannons flashing with black light tore apart the bodies of countless giant scorpions.

Of course.

This was only the situation of the 100-meter and 1,000-meter giant scorpions.

The 10,000-meter giant scorpions that mastered the dimensional technology were not disturbed by these low-level attacks.

They quickly upgraded their dimensions and easily crossed the first line of defense.

They did not want to focus on those unmanned mechanical equipment. The only goal of these 10,000-meter giant scorpions was to kill the planetary fortresses and investigator starships of the mother insect!

…

“Here it comes.”

Looking at the 10,000-meter-long giant scorpion that appeared within her sight, baring its fangs and claws, Hongshi’s expression was solemn, and her right hand subconsciously clenched the joystick of the investigator starship.

She took a deep breath, calmed her inner throbbing, and then pushed the joystick in her hand hard.

Buzz! !

With a powerful wave of space-time ripples, the investigator starship disappeared directly into the visible universe. The curvature engine, whose power suddenly soared, directly put the investigator starship into a state of superluminal navigation!

Just as Redstone was about to control the starship to attack the predetermined target, a khaki shadow appeared without warning among the scorpions of 10,000-meter-long scorpions.

Gaia's operation was more direct than Redstone's. He rushed into the scorpion group directly by relying on high-dimensional jumps.

It was still the usual method.

As the khaki planetary fortress turned around, a majestic gravitational force was suddenly released from its interior.

Gravity is the only force that can cross dimensions and produce effects.

Under the effect of this terrifying gravitational force comparable to that of a neutron star, the forward momentum of dozens of 10,000-meter-long giant scorpions around them suddenly stopped.

Not only that, under the sudden strong gravitational pull, the giant scorpion's body suffered extremely huge damage!

Even the dark purple dense armor was deformed and broken to a certain extent under the tearing of violent gravity, not to mention the flesh and blood inside the armor! !

It was just a face-to-face encounter, and the dozens of giant scorpions curled up in pain, opened their hideous mouthparts and let out painful roars! !

But this was far from over!

The next second!

The Gaia Planetary Fortress that had just appeared disappeared again in the visible universe. When it appeared again, it had already arrived in front of one of the giant scorpions that was curled up in pain.

Boom! ! !

Without any hesitation, Gaia, wrapped in an almost violent gravity, slammed into it fiercely!

The giant scorpion's proud tough body was not worth mentioning in front of the dense armor layer of the planetary fortress that was tens of kilometers thick.

At the moment of collision, the giant scorpion's body was like a "water spirit" that was full of water, and it exploded instantly! !

Under the action of gravity, those pale green internal organs and body fluids stayed in the air for a short time, and then quickly fell to the "surface" of the planetary fortress.

Before they all fell, the khaki planetary fortress disappeared again in the visible universe!

Transition! Another short-distance jump!

With each flash, Gaia would appear in front of one or even several 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions and slam into them fiercely! !

The violent aesthetics of the Human Alliance was presented unobstructed in the starry sky at this moment! !

On the other side.

Redstone, who was driving the Investigator Starship, was naturally not behind.

Driven by the curvature engine, the Investigator Starship quickly came to a lone giant scorpion.

The giant scorpion had been torn by the gravity of the planetary fortress before. It hissed in pain, and its four scarlet eyes flashed with hatred for the Investigator Starship without disguising it - it had recognized the starship in front of it, and this was the murderer who killed the queen insect! !

Never give up! !

It endured the pain of the rupture of its internal organs, and opened its mouthparts with difficulty, trying to launch a final offensive against the starship in front of it.

But...

a deep crack extended from the side of the starship, like a lightning bolt, accurately striking the gland in the throat of the giant scorpion.

Boom! !

The black light that had just condensed instantly disintegrated, and a rather large explosion occurred!

The large-scale dissection that Wang Jing had previously carried out on the giant scorpion came in handy at this time!

Like the drone swarm and floating turrets controlled by Zero himself, every attack from the Investigator Starship also hit the weak points of the giant scorpion's defense with great precision! !

Roar! !

The giant scorpion let out a painful hiss, and its hideous head drooped down powerlessly - the activated dark matter that was detonated in advance almost broke its neck!

The second line of defense.

The second line of defense, which was only composed of the Investigator Starship and the Gaia Planetary Fortress, was like a copper wall and iron wall, firmly blocking the momentum of the giant scorpion's attack! !
