Chapter 380: Surround it for me first
. More than ten minutes ago.
EL001 Human Union Main Universe, Dangerous Technology Administration.
"Beep-beep-beep--"
A sharp alarm sounded suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the core A area of the Administration.
Bang!
With the dull sound of the door opening, Moore, who had just returned to the office and whose chair was not yet warm, rushed out of the open office door with a gloomy look.
"Zero, what's going on?"
Moore hurried to the emergency affairs processing hall of the Administration, and turned his head to Zero who was floating beside him and asked: "Why did Academician Wang Jing's TE1571 research ship signal disappear?"
"What about the information interference attack mentioned in the research ship fault reporting system?"
The incident happened suddenly, and Moore's usual calm tone became hurried: "Could it be... that the broadcast civilization really took action?"
Zero, constructed by holographic projection, quickly floated through the spacious corridor. He followed Moore's footsteps closely and stretched out his hand to call up a holographic interface in front of Moore.
In the interface, a vast forest was clearly presented, and above the forest, ghost starships emitting faint light were quietly hanging high.
"This..."
Moore's eyes widened slightly, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this picture.
"This is the last picture sent back by the TE1571 research ship."
Zero quickly explained: "According to the investigation of Academician Wang Jing, the phantoms that appeared on Varela were formed based on information interference technology. At the same time, these phantoms have the same undetectable characteristics as the ghost fleet."
"Relying on the changes in information entropy fluctuations, Academician Wang Jing determined that this forest is the source of information interference."
"So, in order to investigate and collect data on information interference, and to solve the phantom problem, Academician Wang and investigator Chen Fan entered the forest together."
"What happens after entering the forest?" Moore's eyes moved, and he quickly grasped the key points.
"Due to the influence of information interference, the stability of the communication link of the research ship has been greatly affected."
Ling shook his head helplessly: "Even I can only barely obtain some incomplete information that is almost worthless."
Moore stopped suddenly and stretched out his hand to push open the door of the emergency affairs processing hall.
In the hall, academicians and senior management personnel of the management bureau had already sat in their seats, waiting for Moore's arrival with solemn expressions. In front of everyone, a huge holographic projection was showing the same picture as the holographic panel beside Moore.
Obviously, Zero also told these senior management personnel about what happened.
Facing the eyes of everyone, Moore walked into the emergency affairs processing hall with a gloomy face.
"Director Moore!"
Before Moore could speak, a middle-aged man in an academician's robe stood up from his seat anxiously: "Information interference attack, this must be another means of broadcast civilization!"
"This is the second scientific research ship!"
"I suggest sending a fleet to the node universe immediately..."
"Okay, Academician Wan Yafu." Moore's face sank and he interrupted the middle-aged man's words, "The situation is still unclear, don't rush to conclusions."
Wan Yafu is a well-known radical academician in the administration. Naturally, Moore would not listen to his opinion directly.
"Academician Song." Moore turned his head to look at Song Ziliang who was sitting not far away, "What did the Academy of Sciences say?"
"When I received the emergency warning information, I asked for my tutor's opinion." Song Ziliang looked hesitant, "At that time, Chief Lu was also in my tutor's laboratory."
Moore's face was serious: "What did they say?"
"...There are doubts." Song Ziliang said after a moment of silence, "Based on the current information, it can only be said that this matter is inseparable from the ghost fleet. As for the broadcast civilization... Although it is also an attack based on information interference technology, it cannot be confirmed that it is the behavior of broadcast civilization."
"But."
Song Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Chief Lu believes that since information interference technology is involved, it should be responded to with a war plan."
Moore's heart was shocked.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he gave the order in a deep voice: "Zero, notify the fleet near the node universe to set off immediately."
"Surround the node universe for me first!"
"Academician Song, continue to try to contact Academician Wang and the TE1571 research vessel." Moore thought for a moment, "The time is tentatively set for two hours. If there is no response..."
"The fleet has officially landed in the node universe."
"I want to see the person alive or the body dead!"
As Moore's voice fell, the emergency affairs processing hall fell into complete silence.
The inter-universe broadcast signal took the Administration as the origin and spread outward in an instant.
The human fleet stationed in the Stargate Universe and the surrounding universe bubbles set sail the moment they received the order - they quickly rose into the five-dimensional space, and with the help of the phase engine, they rushed straight to the node universe not far away!
...
Time passed by bit by bit.
Seeing the notification popped up in the holographic interface that the Stargate garrison fleet had arrived at the target area, the atmosphere in the emergency affairs processing hall of the Administration Bureau instantly became anxious.
Although the scale of the Stargate garrison fleet is not large, that fleet is already capable of tearing through the tough cosmic membrane of the node universe, violently descending on the node universe and launching a war!
In other words, even if the fleets of the surrounding universe bubbles have not arrived yet, as long as Moore gives an order, the node universe will embark on an irreversible path of extinction!
Realizing this, Song Ziliang's forehead oozed a layer of sweat. He looked at the bright red prompt message of communication failure that kept popping up in front of him, and his heart became more and more anxious.
"Where is Chen Fan?" Moore broke the silence in the emergency affairs processing hall, "Can we still contact Chen Fan?"
Song Ziliang raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and shook his head with a grim expression: "He cannot be contacted either. Like Academician Wang, he is near the source of information interference. The interference is too strong and the communication signal cannot penetrate at all."
"Damn it!"
Moore gritted his teeth: "Is there no other person in the node universe who can be contacted?"
Song Ziliang was slightly stunned, and his stiff expression instantly relaxed: "Yes!"
"Redstone!!"
"Redstone?" Moore raised his eyebrows, "After the previous support ended, didn't she return to her own universe bubble?"
Song Ziliang nodded: "The universe bubble where Redstone is located is far away from the node universe, and the impact of the spread of dangerous technology is limited, so she applied to continue to perform the previous cross-universe transfer task."
"Except for Redstone, almost all investigators chose to stay in the node universe."
As the high-dimensional resonance range of the broadcast civilization increased, dangerous technology began to spread significantly. Logically, some investigators could apply to return and replace their positions.
Considering that the [Suzheng] artificial intelligence crisis that just ended in the node universe was too dangerous, its danger far exceeded the conventional investigation mission, so Moore once thought that many investigators would apply for job transfer.
"Is there such a thing?" Moore looked at Song Ziliang in surprise, "What are they looking for? Excitement?"
Song Ziliang laughed awkwardly: "I heard from Ling that there are still many residual fleets left by [Suzheng] in the node universe. According to the previous regulations of the Administration, these are all considered as extra income for investigators..."
Moore: "..."
Got it.
After seeing the means of making quick money, I no longer look down on the previous salary.
It's a good thing. After all, the investigation of the node universe is the top priority-Morr is not going to change this rule. If you want to let the horse run, you have to feed the horse first. Without these incentives, who would be willing to carry out such a dangerous investigation mission?
You can't let the coalition send people to investigate, right?
"Contact Hongshi." Moore waved his hand and gave an order to Song Ziliang, "Ask her what happened to Wang Jing?"
Song Ziliang quickly operated on the holographic panel beside him.
Different from the previous communication, the cross-universe communication with Hongshi was quickly connected.
"Academician Wang is in trouble? The research ship lost the signal?!"
Hearing Song Ziliang's words, Hongshi was also very surprised.
When he learned that the Human Union had prepared for war and even the Star Gate garrison fleet had arrived near the node universe, Hongshi did not hesitate and directly showed the scene of Xinghui City to Song Ziliang, and described the scene of the previous phantom dissipation in detail.
"Although I don't have the ability to detect information interference, I think..." Hongshi hesitated and gave his own judgment, "Since the phantom has dissipated, the source of information interference in the Xinghui Forest area may have disappeared."
Hongshi speeded up: "Academician Song, I apply to go to Xinghui Forest to investigate the situation!"
Song Ziliang quickly glanced at Moore.
Seeing Moore nod, he straightened his face and said, "Go ahead, and be careful of your own safety."
Fearing that Chen Fan and Academician Wang's experience would be repeated, Song Ziliang hurriedly added, "Keep in touch at all times."
Hongshi responded and without hesitation controlled his investigator starship to soar into the sky.
Under the puzzled eyes of the Varela people, this strangely shaped starship quickly drew a graceful arc in the air, turned into a blood-red stream of light and rushed towards the Starry Forest in the distance!
"Academician Song."
In just a few seconds, Hongshi's voice sounded: "I have found the TE1571 research ship."
"Repeat, I have found the TE1571 research ship."
"The TE1571 research ship and the [Varela] investigator starship have no obvious external damage..."
Hongshi's voice suddenly paused halfway through his words, and the communication channel fell into silence.
"Redstone?!"
In the emergency affairs handling hall, Song Ziliang's heart suddenly jumped up: "What did you see?"
"...I have found Academician Wang and Chen Fan." There was a bit of weirdness in Redstone's voice, "They are in good condition...at present."
"It looks like they are trying to open the hatches of the research ship and the investigator starship."
As he spoke, Redstone transmitted the ultra-high-definition images taken by the starship to the management bureau.
Looking at the images in front of him, Song Ziliang felt his heart, which was originally beating violently, twitch slightly:
"...Ah?!"
