Chapter 507 E12b Block

"Fight again?"

Fang Yunsheng couldn't believe his ears. He raised his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose. He asked Wang Zhikang in disbelief: "Are you talking about... us?"

Is this...

really what Academician Wang said?

After all, they are also a full fleet, right? !

Not to mention that there are so many officers and soldiers in the fleet who have been trained and exercised for many years, just talking about the tens of thousands of main battleships, the value of which is inestimable.

As for Chen Fan...

Fang Yunsheng had investigated before. In name, Chen Fan was just an investigator affiliated with the Dangerous Technology Administration.

Even if he was already a Level III investigator, even if his promotion speed was a little abnormal, it still couldn't change the fact that he was just an investigator. Before, when Fang Yunsheng obtained this basic information, he had a flash of confusion in his heart. After all, Wang Jing's attitude towards Chen Fan before was not like that towards an ordinary investigator. It's just that he didn't investigate it carefully at that time. He just did some favors for Wang Jing's attitude.

Of course.

In addition to Chen Fan, there is another Level III investigator in the Creation Land Microcosm, as well as the Star God Karakon and the Sinalo Civilization.

But even so, in Fang Yunsheng's view, at the strategic level, Chen Fan and the Creation Land Microcosm are far less important than the peacekeeping fleet.

With the war imminent and the situation so critical, Wang Jing actually chose to let the fleet fight back and turn to save an investigator in the microcosm...

"Isn't this bullshit?!"

Seeing Wang Zhikang nodding in affirmation of his rhetorical question, Fang Yunsheng's face changed completely: "Without the Genesis Fortress, if the fleet suffers large-scale casualties, then..."

"Captain, Academician Wang did say that." Wang Zhikang stood up from his seat, looking helpless, "She also said..."

"What else did she say?" Fang Yunsheng frowned, "Old Wang, I tell you, there's no point in saying anything about this!"

"Even if Wang Jing is a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences, he can't do this in a war of this scale!"

"Class I academician... What's wrong with Class I academician?"

"Do you really think Zero is just here to do something? If something goes wrong in this war, and Zero investigates it, not to mention Academician Wang, I guess we won't be able to escape the consequences!"

"Old Wang, don't try to persuade me. There's no point in talking about this!"

Fang Yunsheng glared and interrupted Wang Zhikang's hesitation again: "Turn on the communication. I want to talk to Academician Wang in person!"

Wang Zhikang smiled bitterly, but under Fang Yunsheng's gaze, he could only raise his hand to operate the holographic control panel in front of him.

But the next second, he looked at the unresponsive holographic interface in front of him and froze in his place.

"Dead...frozen?"

Wang Zhikang looked confused: "The main brain of the flagship fortress...will also freeze?"

"Hello, Captain Fang."

Just as Wang Zhikang was doubting his life, a gentle male voice suddenly sounded in the command center, and then the light of the holographic projection suddenly gathered automatically, forming the image of a young man in front of Fang Yunsheng.

"...Zero?!"

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Fang Yunsheng's face suddenly changed.

Although Zero's job is to assist the Academy of Sciences in various scientific research and computing projects, as well as to take care of the management and scheduling of the main brains at all levels within the Human Union, Zero, who holds the central main brain of the Human Union and whose authority level is second only to the chief academician, also holds the greatest regulatory power of the Human Union - whether it is the Academy of Sciences or the Parliament, they are actually under Zero's supervision.

After all...

In theory, compared with humans, Zero, who is essentially an artificial intelligence, will be more fair and just in supervision.

In addition, in order to prevent the "monopoly" and some unexpected situations, the Parliament and the Academy of Sciences have actually set up regulatory agencies for Zero respectively, but the presence of these two regulatory agencies...

is too weak.

It's not that Zero's authority is too huge, but Zero's past style of doing things is really hard to find fault with - he fools around in the Academy of Sciences all day long, and except for some major problems, he will not take the initiative to show up.

Faced with such an invisible and intangible object, who goes to work on time and leaves work on time, how can the two regulatory agencies find fault?

Of course, this does not mean that Zero does nothing.

With the huge computing power of the central mastermind and the absolute control over various secondary masterminds, Zero's supervision can definitely be said to be watertight.

Because of this, there has been a saying circulating within the Human Union - Zero's active appearance often means that the truth has been revealed.

At least, this is the case for most institutions and units.

Thinking of this rumor, and then thinking of Zero's gesture of greeting him when he appeared just now, Fang Yunsheng's face turned green.

"You... why are you here?"

"Captain Fang, there is something I need to tell you." Zero was not as ruthless as the rumor said, but said in a friendly manner.

"You say, you say..." Facing Zero's gaze, Fang Yunsheng nodded repeatedly with a guilty conscience.

Just a second ago, he was still "arranging" Zero. Who knows if Zero heard what he said...

I think he should have heard it.

It's just... Zero shouldn't be so stingy, right?

Besides, we are still in a state of war. As far as I can remember, there seems to be no case of changing commanders in the middle of a war in the history of the Human Union...

Just as Fang Yunsheng was thinking about it, Zero's voice sounded again.

"Considering the current situation of the anti-universe bubble war, the Academy of Sciences requires a temporary adjustment of the fleet's combat objectives."

Temporary adjustment of combat objectives?

Fang Yunsheng's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly straightened his expression: "You say."

"Ensure the safety of investigator Chen Fan at all costs." Ling said word by word, "On this basis, fully assist investigator Chen Fan in his exploration of the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion and the Anti-Universe Bubble."

"...What?" Fang Yunsheng's eyes widened, and he even raised his hand to pick his ears.

Did he hear it right?

Are you sure it's to ensure Chen Fan's safety, not Academician Wang's safety?

And we have to fully assist Chen Fan's investigation?

It has always been the investigators who cooperated with the peacekeeping fleet. When did it become the turn of the peacekeeping fleet to cooperate with the investigators?

This...

is against Tiangang? !

"Remember, at all costs." Zero ignored Fang Yunsheng's surprise and said to himself, "This is an order directly issued by the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences."

"The original has been sent to your personal terminal, you can take a closer look."

"Also, I'm already clear about the situation at Genesis Fortress, and Academician Wang Jing's operation has been approved by the Academy of Sciences." Zero glanced at Fang Yunsheng, who was still in a daze, calmly, "It is estimated that Genesis Fortress will be able to complete the rescue work within 30 minutes. I think the peacekeeping fleet will not be able to last even 30 minutes?"

"Captain Fang?"

"...Yes!" Fang Yunsheng suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously straightened his back and saluted with a standard human-army salute, "Guarantee to complete the mission!"

Zero did not continue speaking. He turned his head and scanned the constantly changing battlefield data in the surrounding holographic panels, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I suggest that you can send some additional starships to the E12b defense block. The Zerg has a tendency to move towards that area, and it is very likely that the other side has chosen a breakthrough point."

Fang Yunsheng didn't have time to think about it, and nodded in response.

"This is really troublesome." The holographic image that made up Zero turned into a light spot and slowly dissipated, leaving only a faint murmur echoing in the command center, "I agreed to take a vacation during this period, but I have to come to work overtime..."

Silence.

At this moment, the entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Fang Yunsheng coughed lightly and carefully broke the stiff atmosphere: "Zero... is gone?"

"...It seems, it seems to be gone."

On the side, Wang Zhikang looked at the holographic interface that had recovered from the "freeze" state in front of him, and swallowed hard: "Captain Fang, do you... still want to contact Academician Wang Jing?"

"Contact?" Fang Yunsheng shuddered slightly and glared at Wang Zhikang fiercely, "What the hell is contacting!"

"Didn't you hear what Zero said just now?"

As he said, he thought about it and quickly called up the latest information from his smart terminal.

Looking at the seal of the Academy of Sciences and the special seal from the chief academician stamped at the end of the original, Fang Yunsheng shuddered again.

No, buddy...

Who is this Chen Fan?

Wang Jing's attitude towards him is barely understandable, but what's going on at the Academy of Sciences?

As far as I can remember, there doesn't seem to be anyone with the last name Chen among the top academicians at the Academy of Sciences...

"Captain."

On the other side, Wang Zhikang silently closed the previously opened communication interface: "The E12b defense block that Zero just mentioned..."

Fang Yunsheng came back to his senses. He suppressed his many questions about Chen Fan and turned to look at the star map that was updated in real time.

The protective net built by the main battleships was in good condition. Each battleship dealt with the many star scorpions that attacked in front of them according to the original plan.

As for the E12b area...

Fang Yunsheng's eyes quickly fell on that area.

It was an inconspicuous defense block, consisting of a total of five main battleships.

The nearest secondary flagship [Titan Mothership] was a full 3,000 light years away from them, which could be called a remote area of ​​the protective net.

Correspondingly, the defense pressure in the E12b area was also smaller than that in other blocks - in theory, it should be like this.

Fang Yunsheng raised his hand and lightly clicked, and the thumbnail star map instantly enlarged, and the detailed defense information of the E12b block also appeared in front of him.

Looking at the information in the star map, Fang Yunsheng's expression suddenly became solemn.

The five main battleships of E12b, their current output power is close to the level of other blocks.

In other words, the number of scorpions they faced has exceeded the expected level!

Just like what Zero said just now.

E12b is likely to be the breakthrough point chosen by the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion.

And those unknown enemies that disappeared in the detection range of the peacekeeping fleet are likely to appear in this area!

"Damn it..."

Fang Yunsheng cursed in a low voice, turned around and issued an order: "Notify the fleet to allocate warships to the E12b block as soon as possible!"

"Let one... no, three [Titan Motherships] go to the E12b block immediately!!"

...

Time passed by bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the command center gradually became solemn.

Fang Yunsheng stared at the huge holographic star map.

More than ten minutes later, the phenomenon mentioned by Zero had already shown some clues-a large number of Starry Sky Giant Scorpions were fighting and retreating, while launching attacks on the protective net again and again, quietly moving to the E12b block.

Repairing the plank road in the open, but secretly crossing Chencang.

After realizing this, the relaxed smile on Fang Yunsheng's face completely disappeared, and the slight contempt in his eyes also disappeared.

The opponents are not just mindless bugs, they are truly highly intelligent creatures.

In the star map, bright or dim light spots continue to emerge in the E12b block.

Those bright or dim light spots in the star map are the main battleships transferred from all around. The three brightest light spots are the secondary flagships of the peacekeeping fleet - the Titan Mothership, which is 5,000 kilometers in size and about the size of a rocky planet!

With the support of these battleships, the protective net not only has no signs of being damaged, but even appears to be more reliable!

Looking at the scene in the star map, Fang Yunsheng couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, Zero noticed this problem from some clues in advance.

Otherwise...

the consequences are disastrous!

Even if the fleet can fill this gap later, it will still cost a lot.

Suddenly!

"Ding-Ding-Ding-"

Just as Fang Yunsheng was secretly rejoicing, a harsh alarm suddenly exploded in the quiet command center!

"Attention!"

Along with the bright red warning pop-up windows appearing in front of everyone, the electronic synthesis voice of the shipboard main brain also sounded: "The cosmic membrane near the E12b block detected high-intensity abnormal fluctuations!"

At the same time, a real-time image from the Titan mothership popped up on the side of the holographic star map.

In the vast starry sky, the dense scorpion group almost blocked all the starlight from the deep space. Suddenly, the dense scorpion group spread out in all directions without any warning, revealing an empty starry sky.

One by one, the looming gray shadows quickly passed by the background board constructed by the distant starlight, and became huge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a sesame-sized gray dot, it gradually became an asteroid, and even a planet!

Swish! !

The gray shadows gradually faded, and these uninvited guests also revealed their hideous faces.

Starry sky giant scorpion!

No, there is a clear difference between the starry sky giant scorpion in the anti-universe. The comparison between the two is just like the difference between the youth version and the premium version!

These giant scorpions are not only extremely large, but also have a more complex and hideous body structure. On their backs, they even have a pair of black flesh wings that look like wings, but their use is unknown.

The shape of the flesh wings is very strange and does not conform to conventional aerodynamics. It looks a bit like a wide triangular antenna formed by sharp bone spurs and flesh membranes.

As soon as they appeared, these giant scorpions opened their mouthparts that were enough to swallow a small planet, and at the same time raised their dark black triangular flesh wings covered with strong interaction force armor, and let out a silent roar towards the front.

During the roar, the dense scorpion group also opened their mouthparts and let out a hissing in response.

Although he could not hear their hissing and could not understand the meaning, Fang Yunsheng could still see a little from the immersive holographic image - the momentum of the scorpion group was raised to the extreme at this moment.

Declare war!

These starry sky giant scorpions are declaring war on the human fleet that forms the protective network! !

"Here we go!"

Fang Yunsheng did not hesitate. He stood up from his seat and shouted in a deep voice, "Notify the fleet to launch a tentative attack!"

"Flagship, start the jump and be ready to enter the field for support at any time!"

...

Battleship protection net, E12b block.

The battle order from the flagship had just been issued, and the black light of the dark matter cannon had already pierced through the dim starry sky!

Strong space-time fluctuations exploded, and small wormholes lined up in neat rows, appearing in front of each main battleship.

The positive and negative stars and low-dimensional fragments that had been prepared long ago, like rain, appeared directly in front of the scorpion group with the help of wormholes, and smashed hard at the dense scorpion group and the several starry sky giant scorpions that were comparable to gas giant planets!

The dark matter fishing net that harvested the scorpion group like a starry sky meat grinder also appeared again in this starry sky!

A tentative attack!

This was just a tentative attack!

With the help of wormholes, the dark matter fishing net was like a huge broom, flying across the starry sky at a high speed, leaving only a group of white atomic clouds wherever it passed - the conventional starry sky giant scorpions were simply unable to stop the strong attack from the main battleships of the People's Alliance!

But...

this smooth "mowing" mode did not last too long.

When the dark matter fishing net and the positive and negative stars crossed time and space and came to the side of the super-large giant scorpion, a strange phenomenon appeared - the flight speed of these attacks slowed down instantly, as if there was an invisible wall in front of them.

This is not the weirdest thing!

Under the gaze of everyone, the dark matter fishing net and the positive and negative stars turned abruptly at a strange angle and flew towards the empty starry sky. Finally, they collided with each other in the vast sea of ​​stars, forming a shocking fire.

"Information barrier!!"

Looking at such a familiar scene, Fang Yunsheng, who had just left the jump state and successfully arrived at the E12b block, looked more serious: "Damn it, these bugs really mastered this deadly technology!!"

It's not over yet!

Under Fang Yunsheng's gaze, the triangular flesh wings on the back of the super-large giant scorpion emitted bursts of dazzling white light.

This strange white light did not follow the upper limit of the speed of light, and instantly illuminated the dim starry sky within a radius of thousands of light years!

In the white light, the piercing alarm sounded again in the flagship fortress command center!

"Warning!"

"High-intensity information fluctuation detected!"

"Damn it!" Fang Yunsheng's face suddenly changed, "Information flow attack? These giant scorpions can also use this trick?!"

Amid the high-pitched warning sound of the ship-borne main brain, a brand-new holographic interface suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yunsheng.

Unlike Fang Yunsheng's expectation, the powerful information entropy fluctuation did not spread to the human alliance's warship protection net, but evenly covered the scorpion group.

"This..." Fang Yunsheng was stunned, and his previously throbbing heart gradually calmed down.

This is definitely not an information flow attack!

Then what is this?

Just as Fang Yunsheng was puzzled, Xu Mingqi's somewhat horrified shout suddenly came from the side: "Zoom in!"

"Master brain, zoom in the picture immediately!!"

"Visualize the information entropy fluctuation value again!"

In Xu Mingqi's voice, the holographic interface quickly zoomed in, and the jumping numbers also turned into concrete graphics in the process.

They were densely packed white light balls.

In the picture, these white light balls are evenly scattered around all the regular giant scorpions!
