In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
The old scientist Enrogett's eyes were filled with doubt.
In its view, the behavior of these human civilization warships was far too bizarre.
They were not only scattered haphazardly around the Enrogete battleship, but their warp drives were also not turned off.
Furthermore, under the detection of the spacetime fluctuation detection device, these warships even deployed warp bubbles to protect themselves.
It's as if you're always ready to re-enter a state of curvature.
What's this?
Whether they choose to accept the negotiation proposal or continue the guerrilla warfare until the flagship runs out of its last drop of energy, the old scientist believes that such a strange scenario is impossible.
Just as it was puzzled, a tachyon message came from the "flagship" of the human fleet.
Upon seeing the prompt on the screen, the old scientist's spirits lifted.
As the translation program started, lines of Enrogett's text quickly appeared before its eyes.
The cold words on the screen gradually froze the smile on its lips.
"Wh...what?"
The old scientist could hardly believe his eyes: "Hand over all control of the warships?"
"Transfer all control over the central computer of the civilization?"
"To become their subordinate civilization?!"
Its eyes twitched a few times, and even with the help of medication, it could not maintain its original calm.
It flew into a rage, its eyes flashing with ferocity, and roared, "Damn human civilization!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
"Attack!! Keep attacking!!!"
Not only it, but the other senior personnel of Enrogett in the command center also showed varying degrees of anger on their faces.
Don't they understand what a subordinate civilization means?!
In their view, regardless of the outcome of this war, the Enroget civilization, which possesses the deterrent power of space weapons, has the right to engage in equal exchanges with human civilization.
That is why the old scientist fiercely "torn up" the unilateral proposal of human civilization and gave an extremely strong response.
【***!】
Its meaning is close to that of classic national treasures in human civilization.
At the same time, like a petty thug who has lost a fight, he uttered a harsh remark.
Damn human civilization, just you wait! Our flagship will one day attack your home planet!
The spatial rift will eventually tear your home planet in two, evenly and smoothly!
【****!】
...
As the message was sent, a sharp alarm sounded again.
The warships that had been quietly stationed around the Enrogett fleet finally began to move.
Under Zero's control, the warp engine changed its usual operating mode and simply created spacetime fluctuations of a certain frequency in the target area.
In the spacetime monitoring equipment of the Enroget civilization, extremely subtle fluctuations suddenly appeared in the originally calm spacetime.
There are two thousand fluctuation points, but for this star field, the disturbance caused by these two thousand fluctuation points is not significant, and can even be described as weak.
Normally, such spatiotemporal fluctuations are negligible.
"What are they doing?" the Alliance leader asked, looking at the fluctuations in the spacetime monitoring equipment.
The old scientist did not reply, and a feeling of panic arose inexplicably within him.
Its long scientific career had given it a keen scientific intuition—intuition told it that if this situation were allowed to continue, it might lead to something detrimental to the Enroget civilization!
"Space weapon initiating charging!"
"Power 100%!"
"Target selected: the nearest human warship!"
It urgently issued the order: "Whatever humans are planning to do, we must stop them!"
The words fell.
Surrounded by more than two thousand human warships, the Enroget flagship broke its previous silence. The antimatter reactors throughout the ship began to operate at full power, and an unknown force field of the Enroget civilization once again appeared between the two abrupt antennas.
At the same time, a sudden change occurred.
The spacetime that had originally only had a few minor ripples suddenly began to increase in amplitude at an extremely high speed, as if it had been affected by some unknown influence.
In just a few seconds, the once calm sea surface was stirred up into quite a few waves.
The old scientist's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at the image on the screen in disbelief.
With its scientific literacy, it quickly realized the underlying principle.
"Resonance?" It subconsciously forgot the crisis facing civilization, its eyes gleaming with a thirst for knowledge, and murmured to itself, "Spacetime actually has such properties..."
Suddenly, it realized a problem.
Spacetime resonance may bring about an unprecedented spacetime tsunami!
No wonder those human warships activated their warp bubbles ahead of time!
"Not good!" Its expression changed drastically, and it shouted, "Quick! All warships, activate the warp bubbles immediately!"
It's obvious.
Its reaction was still a beat too slow.
An alarm has already sounded from the flagship.
In the turbulent spacetime, the spatial rift that should have been formed long ago has yet to appear, even though the warp drive has reached its peak power!
Through observation with a high-definition, ultra-high-speed camera, one can vaguely see a thin, constantly twisting black line flashing between the two antennas from time to time.
But in the next instant, the thin black line seemed to be disturbed by something and quickly disappeared into the vast universe.
It's like an old TV with a snowy screen due to poor contact.
Under the old scientist's orders, the Enroget fleet hurriedly activated the warp bubble.
Under the action of the curvature bubble, the spacetime waves around the ship were gradually smoothed out, and the ship and space weapons returned to a stable state.
As the thin black line rapidly extended to both sides, the old scientist subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
One wave subsides, another rises.
Amidst the piercing alarm, the "flagship" of human civilization had already opened its launch silos, and missiles equipped with warp drives and antimatter engines departed the warship in the flashing light.
But what's strange is that these missiles simply generated curvature bubbles to protect themselves.
Instead of entering warp drive mode, they propelled themselves with outdated antimatter engines, slowly hurtling toward the Enrogett fleet.
Before the command center could issue an order, the Enroget fleet commander had already issued an interception order.
Given that these missiles did not enter a warp state, it opted for the unassuming electromagnetic railgun and laser weapons for interception.
As the spacetime surge intensified, the Enroget fleet unleashed a barrage of interceptor fire at the approaching warp missiles!
Another mutation occurred.
The electromagnetic projectile, having just left the curvature bubble, seemed to be affected by some unknown force, rapidly deviating from its original trajectory and beginning to move erratically in the vast universe.
Laser weapons are no better off. After several setbacks, the high-energy laser beams have long lost their accuracy and are shot into the unknown distance.
