Chapter 586: Go all out

"Send the main battleships to leave the cosmic bubble to explore the hyperspace membrane directly..."

Hearing Chen Fan's proposal, Fang Yunsheng's eyes showed a little contemplation.

It is also basic exploration work, but the exploration area is different, and the risks and benefits are also completely different.

First of all, the exploration inside the cosmic bubble. Thanks to the various complex environments inside the universe, the risk of the fleet being exposed will be much smaller-just like street fighting and jungle fighting, even if this is the opponent's home court, the complex environment is an excellent shelter.

As for the exploration of the hyperspace membrane...

Apophis civilization is a level nine civilization. Although there is no clear performance so far, there is no doubt that the opponent must also have the ability to move outside the cosmic bubble.

Not to mention that when the battleships leave the cosmic bubble, they may cause some slight cosmic membrane fluctuations that are enough to expose the fleet's own coordinates. Just to say that the endless hyperspace membrane with almost no shelter is not an area that a fleet deep behind the enemy should enter!

Of course.

The extremely high risk naturally brings extremely high benefits.

Hyperspace membrane exploration can obtain a lot of valuable information, especially in key areas such as the enemy's lair. If you are lucky enough, the fleet can even directly grasp the defense status within the territory of Apophis!

Fang Yunsheng frowned and carefully weighed the pros and cons.

Until...

"Attention!"

Along with a bright yellow warning signal that popped up automatically on the holographic interface, a hoarse electronic synthesized voice also echoed in the fleet command center: "Received the identification level AAAAA information beam communication signal!"

"The identification code has been read..."

Fang Yunsheng slightly widened his eyes. Faced with this sudden warning information, he was stunned for a moment: "This is..."

In the [Gaia] planetary fortress, Chen Fan, who was quite familiar with the information flow, had come to his senses at this moment. He stood up from his seat suddenly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's the signal of the Academy of Sciences!!"

The moment the voice fell, the electronic synthesized voice of the shipboard main brain also completed the final broadcast:

"The target identity has been successfully identified: the main signal broadcast tower of the Human Union Academy of Sciences."

Since approaching the singularity, the fleet's contact with the Academy of Sciences has been completely cut off. As for the subspace, the fleet is completely unable to detect the signal fluctuations from the Human Union.

Fang Yunsheng never thought that after leaving the subspace and entering the [28th] quadrant where the Apophis giant scorpion is located, the fleet can actually receive the communication signal from the Academy of Sciences!

"Quick!" After a brief moment of daze, Fang Yunsheng finally came to his senses, "Send a communication request immediately, request to establish a communication link!!"

"The signal stability is weak, trying to establish a link..."

That's right.

The [28th] quadrant and the [32nd] quadrant, the fleet and the Academy of Sciences are now separated by at least three quadrants, 29, 30, and 31. With such a huge span, even if the Human Union uses the information flow communication technology that has just been mastered, signal stability is still a huge problem - unlike the extremely mature information broadcasting of the broadcast civilization, the Human Union's technology in this area can only be regarded as just starting.

After thinking about this clearly, Fang Yunsheng subconsciously held his breath, and the deep surprise in his eyes turned into a little uneasiness.

"That's right!"

He seemed to have thought of something and added again: "Don't worry about the information transmission rate and signal stability. All information, use the highest level of encryption format!"

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds...

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

Like Fang Yunsheng, everyone's eyes were focused on the constantly fluctuating progress bar in the holographic interface.

"The communication link has been successfully established."

After swaying back and forth for a while, the progress bar on the holographic interface suddenly pushed to the end, and an electronic prompt sounded: "Current signal strength: very weak, signal stability: very weak."

Fang Yunsheng did not care about the two red indicators. For the current fleet, it was a blessing to be able to establish a communication link!

Even if this communication link can only send some basic text messages, it is better than the previous state of complete loss of connection! !

"Tsk..."

"This is... the Human Union Academy of Sciences... Tsk..."

As the communication link was successfully established, an extremely familiar but very vague voice soon sounded in the communication channel: "Z619... Please report your situation immediately... Received... Tsk... Please reply!"

"This is the Z619 expedition fleet."

Fang Yunsheng took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. "The fleet has arrived at the territory of the Apophis civilization and has successfully landed in an unknown universe bubble!"

...

The [32] quadrant of the hyperspace membrane, the Human Union main universe, the Central Academy of Sciences.

"What did you say?!"

In a spacious office filled with a large number of holographic interfaces, Chief Lu, who was wearing a white research robe, suddenly raised his head and cast a surprised look at the figure constructed by the holographic projection in front of him: "Have you contacted the Z619 fleet?"

"Yes."

Ling nodded and answered in an affirmative tone: "To be precise, it was the Z619 fleet that took the initiative to apply to establish a communication link."

"Where are they now?"

Chief Lu asked hurriedly: "What are the casualties of the fleet? When can they return to the main universe? And, that kid Chen Fan..."

He paused, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked again: "...Is he still alive?"

"About 230,000 main battleships are missing, and the total size of the fleet has been lost by about 20%."

"The number of casualties is relatively large, but the initial rest and recuperation has been completed

. The fleet is currently in good condition and is enough to exert 70% of the combat effectiveness of the original Z619 expeditionary fleet." "Chen Fan is in good condition and is not in any danger at the moment."

"As for the return issue..."

Zero's expression suddenly became strange: "I suggest you not consider this matter for the time being."

Chief Lu: "?"

He couldn't help but frowned: "What? The fleet was trapped by the Apophis giant scorpion?"

"Let them report the coordinates, and the Academy of Sciences can be transferred..." Chief Lu glanced at the holographic projection on the side and gritted his teeth: "Eight... no, ten expedition fleets to rescue them!"

"Don't worry, this is not a problem."

Zero smiled bitterly: "According to Fang Yunsheng, Chen Fan successfully obtained the coordinates of the central singularity of the Apophis mother universe in the previous interference experiment."

"At present, the Z619 fleet has taken this opportunity to successfully arrive at the territory of the Apophis civilization. The distance between the fleet and the central singularity of the mother universe is about 10,000 standard spans." "

......?"

Chief Lu slowly typed a question mark: "Huh?"

A few minutes later.

Chief Lu's expression became more and more interesting as he looked at the information in front of him.

No, buddy?

Didn't we agree to just do an experiment to interfere with the singularity information flow?

You said you got the coordinates of the enemy's nest, but who the hell asked you to go to the enemy's nest alone? !

He raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temple: "In this way... I seem to know why those Apophis giant scorpions on the front line suddenly launched a massive attack."

The coordinates of the nest have been exposed, how can they not fight desperately? !

"I didn't expect that this kid Chen Fan would become the catalyst of this war..." Chief Lu sighed with a smile.

The next second, his eyes moved, as if he noticed something.

"...You seemed to have mentioned the standard span just now? What does that mean?"

"Chen Fan built his own distance measurement standard. 1 standard span is equal to the maximum distance in the universe."

"Hiss..."

Hearing Zero's answer, Chief Lu couldn't help but take a breath: "The distance between the Z619 fleet and the other party's mother universe is 10,000 standard spans, doesn't that mean..."

"That's right."

Zero confirmed Chief Lu's guess: "According to the data provided by Fang Yunsheng, the territory of the Apophis civilization far exceeds the Human Union."

"In addition, Fang Yunsheng also provided some very strange information."

As soon as the voice fell, a holographic interface with a few nouns appeared in front of Chief Lu.

"Quadrant... Subspace... Ghost Fleet and Bait... Virtual and Real Duality..."

Chief Lu's pupils slightly dilated, and his originally calm expression changed several times.

Swish!

He stood up from his seat suddenly, and his footsteps quickly passed through the many holographic interfaces in front of him: "Zero, immediately notify all Level I academicians and ask them to report to the Central Laboratory immediately!"

...

One hour later.

The [28th] quadrant of the hyperspace membrane, Z619 expedition fleet.

Looking at the text messages that kept appearing on the communication interface, Fang Yunsheng's expression gradually became ugly - because the communication signal was too bad, and the highest level of encryption format required a considerable amount of communication resources, the communication quality had to be continuously degraded.

First, the image quality of the holographic video was reduced, then the holographic video was changed to 2D video, and finally...

it returned to the most primitive text communication.

Fang Yunsheng couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "These damn giant scorpions..."

"What happened?" Chen Fan's voice came from another stable internal communication link of the fleet, "What happened to the Pan-Universe?"

"The war situation has worsened."

Fang Yunsheng pulled the corner of his mouth and showed Chen Fan a bitter smile: "I guessed right, those giant scorpions directly launched a full-scale attack on the Pan-Universe in order to solve the hidden danger of coordinate exposure."

"Full-scale attack?!"

Chen Fan's heart jumped suddenly, but he couldn't imagine how bad the war situation was: "Then..."

"So far, 1,739 cosmic bubbles that have been invaded or are about to be invaded by the Apophis giant scorpion have been found in the Pan-Universe."

Fang Yunsheng used the simplest numbers to describe the current situation of the Human Union to Chen Fan: "Among them, 1,115 are medium and large cosmic bubbles with a large number of civilizations, 431 are industrial production cosmic bubbles, and only less than 200 are small cosmic bubbles with few civilizations."

Chen Fan was stunned.

How long has it been since a few cosmic bubbles were invaded to thousands of invasion points?

The actions of those giant scorpions were too quick!

Unlike the previous local wars, facing this kind of all-out war, the Human Union could not possibly complete the evacuation of civilization.

And the behavior of those Apophis giant scorpions was not like that of normal civilizations. They invaded the universe for only one thing - resources, resources, and damn resources.

Whether it was various celestial bodies or many creatures, they were all the same in the eyes of the Apophis giant scorpions.

So...

"The number of civilizations involved in the war is extremely large, and the number of deaths of highly intelligent creatures is incalculable." Fang Yunsheng said with a sullen face, "Even with the help of the Human Union, there are still cases where level 7 and level 8 civilizations have suffered heavy losses, not to mention the low-level civilizations below level 6."

Chen Fan was shocked.

But...

before he could come to his senses, Fang Yunsheng's voice continued to come, bringing him some worse news.

"Although there is the Genesis Fortress, the front battlefield has not lost control, but the number of invaded cosmic bubbles is still growing."

"In time, once the support speed of the Genesis Fortress cannot keep up with the invasion speed of the other party, the defense line of the Human Union will collapse instantly."

"What's more terrible is that these invaded cosmic bubbles are quite scattered, evenly distributed in the edge areas of all directions of the Pan-Universe!"

"They have even built a simple encirclement of the Pan-Universe. Once the encirclement is completely formed, the Human Union may become a turtle in a jar!"

"It is not difficult to see that the Apophis Giant Scorpion is quite skilled in this level of war."

Chen Fan did not speak, but stared blankly at the star map drawn by Fang Yunsheng himself.

In the star map, the pale yellow block symbolizing the territory of the Human Union is surrounded by thousands of scattered red dots. These red dots are connected in sequence, forming a sky-shaking net that can take the entire Pan-Universe into its bag!

"Why, how could this happen..."

He murmured in a low voice.

The situation changed too quickly. With only a short period of subspace loss, the Human Alliance was almost pushed to the edge of the cliff!

If there were no accidents, the defeat of the Human Alliance would be almost certain.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his stiff face vigorously, trying to stabilize his confused thoughts.

No!

There are still variables!

The Z619 fleet deep behind the enemy is the only variable in this war!

Chen Fan frowned subconsciously and thought carefully.

At this point, what can the Z619 fleet do? What can he do?

The answer is already obvious.

"The Academy of Sciences hopes that we will try to cut off the channel for the Apophis giant scorpion's black hole jump, which can buy some breathing time for the front battlefield." Fang Yunsheng's voice continued to come, "Sir Chen Fan, I think this plan is good and can be considered..."

"No."

In Fang Yunsheng's extremely surprised eyes, Chen Fan directly rejected this plan.

"Since the giant scorpion has launched a full-scale attack on the Human Alliance at all costs, their rear is definitely empty!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Let's go all out."

"Let's think of a way to blow up the central singularity of the Apophis mother universe!"

"???"

Fang Yunsheng looked at Chen Fan in confusion and swallowed hard.

Not a buddy?

Is it necessary to play such a big game?

However...

this plan is really desirable!

With such a long front line, once there is turmoil in the rear, the impact on the entire battle situation will be absolutely fatal!

Imagine that when you push all your troops to the front line to prepare for a wave, an enemy fleet suddenly blows up your home. That scene...

It's so sour!

"What do you think, Lao Fang?"

"Do you dare to do something big?"

Chen Fan smiled and raised his eyebrows to Fang Yunsheng: "This is an opportunity that can be recorded in the history of the Human Union!"

"..."

I have to admit that when Fang Yunsheng heard Chen Fan's last sentence, his heart was moved.

"Do it!"
