Chapter 348 Natural Disaster
In the azure holographic interface, the number representing the wormhole fluctuations is still increasing.
From the initial number of more than a hundred, it has gradually approached the four-digit mark!
Each wormhole corresponds to a sub-base in the surrounding galaxy, and also corresponds to at least one standard fleet of [Suzheng].
In other words, as of now, nearly a thousand planetary fortresses and millions of conventional warships have gathered around the artificial star system.
As for the nanoworms...
that is an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate! !
These nanoworms swept through the starry sky, destroying and devouring all macroscopic matter-even if a complete planet falls into the black tide, it can only last for a few seconds!
Under the remote control of [Suzheng], the Suzheng fleet that survived the first round of dark matter cannon volleys began to counterattack accordingly.
Facing the second round of dark matter cannon volleys coming head-on, the nanoworms that were originally scattered and charging into the interior of the star system quietly changed their strategy.
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and others, the nanoworms, like a swarm of locusts, began to shrink their front lines rapidly.
Swish!
Under the transmission of the micro-wormhole, a dark light suddenly appeared in the nanoworm camp.
The nanoworms that had already shrunk their front line did not hesitate at all. When the activated dark matter flashing with a dark light appeared, they swarmed up and wrapped it up layer by layer.
In a short moment, a spherical cage with a hollow interior flashing with a dark light suddenly appeared in the starry sky.
The next moment.
A barrier with a dark light rose up on the surface of these nanoworms that were huddled together!
Boom!!!
The activated dark matter exploded, and dazzling flames gushed out from the giant interior constructed by the nanoworms.
But...
unlike before, the explosion of the activated dark matter did not trigger a chain reaction of the surrounding dark matter.
In other words, after being trapped in the cage constructed by the nanoworms, the explosive power of the dark matter cannon was greatly weakened!
Looking at the black tide that was almost unaffected, Chen Fan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"It's the dark matter deflector shield."
A soft synthetic female voice sounded in the team's communication channel: "I didn't expect these nanomachines to be able to release a joint shield."
At the same time, the cockpit of the Varela once again sounded the warning of abnormal space-time fluctuations - the warning target was still the wormhole behind the Suzheng Fleet.
With strong space-time fluctuations coming out of these small wormholes, massive stars and planets suddenly appeared out of thin air in the starry sky that was originally devoured by nanoworms!
- These planets "rushed" all the way from distant galaxies to the front battlefield through the wormholes!
"What are they going to do?"
Looking at the puzzling movements of the Suzheng Fleet in the holographic interface, Chen Fan's eyes were filled with confusion: "It takes a lot of energy to move stars and planets to the front battlefield..."
"Is it to replenish resources?"
"I don't think so." Hongshi rejected Chen Fan's guess, "Dark matter deflection shield is a high-level application of dark matter theory. The Suzheng Fleet should have mastered a fairly complete dark matter theory."
"Under normal circumstances, civilizations that have mastered the extraction and application of dark matter have initially gotten rid of resource constraints."
"The reason why they can leave the Milky Way and travel freely throughout the universe is because dark matter is everywhere and fills the entire universe."
"In other words, the Suzheng Fleet does not need such a low-level way to replenish the fleet's energy loss."
At this point, a tortuous stream of light flashed across the surface of Hongshi's body, and her voice paused: "I remember this is the content of the advanced textbook for Level II investigators. Don't you know this thing?"
"..."
Chen Fan raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.
I don't know if it was an illusion or something, he actually felt a suffocating scrutiny from a stone!
"In fact..." Chen Fan replied in a low voice, "I have just finished studying the basic textbooks for investigators..."
The light on Hongshi's body suddenly paused: "..." She
was careless.
For a moment, she actually forgot that Chen Fan was the fastest-promoted investigator in the history of the Administration.
In less than a year, he jumped from the lowest-level trainee investigator to a Level II investigator. Coupled with various investigation tasks, it is no wonder that the progress of theoretical learning cannot keep up.
"...After this investigation is over, study the advanced theory carefully."
Hongshi ended the topic a little stiffly, and at the same time turned his attention to the stars and planets that appeared out of thin air!
[Warning! ]
[High-intensity gravitational fluctuations detected! ]
Accompanied by the piercing alarm sounded suddenly, the Suzheng Planetary Fortress that had been stationed in the rear finally took action!
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and Hongshi, thousands of silver-white Suzheng Planetary Fortresses have appeared near those scattered stars and planets.
The next moment.
The curves in the holographic interface that symbolize gravitational fluctuations and space-time field fluctuations suddenly rose!
Under the traction of the Suzheng Planetary Fortress, the massive stars and planets instantly disappeared in the visible universe - they entered a state of superluminal curvature navigation.
Chen Fan's mind moved, and the tachyon radar image suddenly appeared in front of him.
In the radar image, thousands of huge red dots are rushing towards the interior of the artificial star system!
No! That's not right! !
Not inside the star system, but... the black tide at the forefront of the Suzheng Fleet! !
Chen Fan seemed to realize something and suddenly widened his eyes: "Black Tide!"
"Those planets and stars are provided for the black tide and those nanoworms!!"
As soon as the voice fell, under the traction of the Suzheng Planetary Fortress, thousands of stars and planets were like bean-sized raindrops, smashing into the black tide fiercely!
Crash! !
Like a swarm of locusts that were startled, the black tide that had just "digested" the volley of dark matter cannons instantly dispersed and swarmed towards those stars and planets!
In just a few seconds, the figures of the stars and planets had disappeared in the overwhelming black tide!
In this process, the scale of the black tide also expanded a bit visibly with the naked eye!
Self-replication! !
...
Inside the Varela.
Chen Fan looked at the scene outside the porthole with a look of horror-under the continuous bombardment of the investigator fleet, the scale of the black tide did not decrease. On the contrary, under the blessing of self-replication and the support fleet, in just a dozen minutes, the scale of the black tide even doubled!
Not only that, under the precise control of [Suzheng], the black tide is even constantly learning and evolving its fighting methods!
So far, except for the high-power dark matter cannon, other low-power weapons have basically lost their effectiveness.
Even the powerful dark matter cannon, facing the combined dark matter deflection shield generated by the nanoworms, the final killing effect has begun to be greatly reduced! !
Amid the roar of artillery fire, the black tide once again began to advance into the artificial star system.
"Damn..."
Seeing the balance of victory gradually tilting towards the [Suzheng] fleet, Chen Fan's face suddenly became ugly.
He still underestimated the strength of high-level artificial intelligence.
To be precise, he underestimated the strength of high-level artificial intelligence + nanomachine clusters!
The self-learning and evolutionary ability of high-level artificial intelligence, coupled with the infinite self-replication ability of nanomachines...
This is simply a natural disaster that can sweep the entire universe! !
Looking at the weak explosion of the dark matter cannon and the shrinking black tide encirclement, Chen Fan turned his head to look at Red Stone: "Is there no way to break those dark matter deflector shields?"
"All shields have a carrying limit."
Facing Chen Fan's inquiry, the red crystal surface streamer rotated rapidly: "As long as the attack exceeds the carrying limit of the shield, those dark matter deflector shields can be broken."
"But..."
"After all, the investigator starship is not a starship for war purposes."
"The firepower is not enough to penetrate the carrying limit of these joint shields."
At this point, Red Stone's voice paused slightly.
She sighed softly: "Chen Fan, the difficulty of this war is far beyond my expectations."
"Request fleet support, this is not a battle that the investigators can solve."
Chen Fan shook his head stubbornly: "Wait a little longer!"
He silently looked at the star gate wormhole in the center of the artificial star system.
In the light of the surrounding accretion disk, the star gate wormhole was running very stably-as long as he gave an order, the star gate would forcibly expand its capacity, and on the basis of this wormhole, a large wormhole channel large enough to accommodate the landing of the human fleet would be opened!
Of course, the consequence is that the structure of the universe membrane is destroyed, and the universe membrane will collapse suddenly like a domino!
"It's useless."
After noticing Chen Fan's gaze, Hongshi continued: "All the investigators participating in the cross-universe dispatch have entered the EL13697101 universe."
Facing Hongshi's words, Chen Fan shook his head again.
"Wait a little longer!"
Chen Fan looked at the glittering star gate wormhole with extremely serious eyes.
As if...
waiting for a miracle.
"I don't understand."
Compared with Chen Fan, Hongshi, as a crystal life, is obviously much calmer: "Compared with the hidden dangers of the Suzheng Fleet, the harm of the collapse of the universe bubble is acceptable."
"Even if this will affect the subsequent investigation work."
At this moment, the scope of the investigator fleet's activities has been compressed to the star field around the star gate wormhole.
One by one, the investigator starships hovered in the dazzling accretion disk, launching a more than nothing blockade against the gradually approaching black tide.
Every roar of the dark matter cannon will make the black tide retreat half a step for a short time.
But in the gaps between attacks, the black tide will quickly fill the gap and even move forward a few steps!
"The current situation has completely exceeded the original expectations." The soft synthetic female voice became unusually sharp: "Unless a miracle happens, otherwise..."
Before Redstone's voice fell, an urgent electronic synthetic voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit:
[Received a cross-universe communication request from the Dangerous Technology Administration! ]
[Communication note: Take kickbacks. ]
Looking at the communication interface that automatically popped up on the holographic panel, Chen Fan's tense face suddenly showed a relieved smile.
"Unless a miracle happens?"
"Then I will give you a miracle!!!"
