Chapter 442 The trapped fleet
"Ghost wall?"
"Old Xu, you are talking nonsense to me!"
A doubtful voice came from the command center: "Old Xu, you are also an old man in the Academy of Sciences, why do you still believe in such supernatural things?"
Hearing this questioning, Xu Mingqi, who followed the support fleet to the expedition, subconsciously raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and his face also revealed a little embarrassment: "Old Lin, isn't this a more vivid way of saying it..."
"Okay, okay." In the holographic communication interface, Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Let's get down to business, the information interference experiment over there is still running!"
Xu Mingqi calmed down and quickly narrated to Lin Yang in the holographic interface the strange situation encountered by the support fleet.
Listening to Xu Mingqi's words, the relaxed smile on Lin Yang's face gradually converged.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Is the space-time field around the fleet normal?"
"It's normal, it's the normal space-time fluctuation inside the hyperspace membrane." Xu Mingqi gave a direct answer without any hesitation.
"Tsk..."
Lin Yang frowned and snorted softly: "Normal space-time fluctuations..."
"Well, send me all the space-time field monitoring data of the support fleet, and I will check it carefully again."
Xu Mingqi did not feel any discomfort at the request of Academician Lin Yang - Lin Yang is a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences, and he is just a small Class II academician. The two seem to be only one level apart, but the gap between them is like a chasm.
The simplest and most intuitive gap: Class I academicians can have their own research ships, while Class II academicians can only "ride the boat" like Class III academicians.
There is a saying that is very good.
A genius picked out of billions is just the threshold to see Class I academicians.
Xu Mingqi nodded repeatedly and naturally uploaded all the monitoring data so far to Lin Yang at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.
The command center fell into silence again.
Whether it was Xu Mingqi or Fang Yunsheng, everyone in the command center of the support fleet cast their eyes on Lin Yang, who was wearing a research robe in the communication interface.
"Hiss..."
Lin Yang looked through the data in front of him and took a deep breath: "It seems... there is really no problem."
"Basically, it is the fluctuation of the space-time field caused by the surrounding macroscopic giant attractors. Logically, the support fleet should not be affected by these distorted space-time fields."
"Even manually adjusting the course has no effect..."
Seeing Lin Yang's brows getting deeper and deeper, Fang Yunsheng suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Even the first-level academician couldn't find the reason. Could it be...
that this support mission will fail?
"General Fang, let the fleet move first."
Suddenly, Lin Yang's solemn voice came, interrupting Fang Yunsheng's somewhat messy thoughts: "Change the direction of the fleet and drive away from the beacon universe."
"Away from the beacon universe?" Fang Yunsheng raised his eyelids and looked at the communication interface with some doubts, "Academician Lin, then our support mission..."
"Do as I say first." Lin Yang's expression was majestic, and there was a bit of worry in his eyes, "I'm worried that you can't leave this area."
Fang Yunsheng was shocked and felt a piercing chill rising from his back.
He had no time to ask, and hurriedly gave the ship's main brain an order to adjust the course and continue sailing.
...
One hour, two hours...
Time passed quickly, but the atmosphere in the command center became solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was no other reason.
After two full hours, the support fleet was still spinning in place.
Even though the fleet had adjusted its course to a direction away from the beacon universe, outside the porthole, the dim light still quietly hovered in front of the fleet, like a demon's eye, staring straight at the prey that was struggling to death.
"Damn..."
Fang Yunsheng looked gloomy, and punched the console in front of him.
"How could this happen..." On the side, Xu Mingqi's hands and feet were cold, and there was a little tremor in his voice.
The fleet was trapped.
Trapped in this uninhabited membrane space!
This was not a big deal. After all, the Human Alliance Fleet was equipped with a vacuum zero-point reactor, which could be self-sufficient and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
But the problem was...
there was no enemy.
Let alone the enemy, now they can't even figure out the "thing" that trapped the fleet! !
The unknown is always the easiest to make people fear!
In the communication interface that has not been interrupted so far, Lin Yang said nothing, and looked through various data with a gloomy expression - since the fleet sailed again, Ling took over the control of the fleet and displayed all the navigation logs in front of him.
Buzz...
accompanied by a vague wave, some fluorescent green light spots slowly emerged around Lin Yang, and then quickly gathered into a figure.
"Chief Lu."
Lin Yang's expression slightly moved, and he greeted the young man who suddenly appeared without surprise.
Unlike Lin Yang's calm attitude, everyone in the support fleet subconsciously stood up from their seats when they saw the young man who suddenly appeared in the communication interface.
Fang Yunsheng's face became more and more anxious.
From the second-level academician to the first-level academician of the Academy of Sciences headquarters, now even the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences has been alarmed!
This shows how difficult the situation encountered by the support fleet is!
Chief Lu nodded casually, and then set his eyes on the holographic interface in front of Lin Yang: "What? Haven't you found any abnormalities yet?"
Lin Yang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "The fleet detector shows that there are no abnormal phenomena around, but..."
"But?" Chief Lu raised his eyebrows as if he had noticed something, and asked Lin Yang, "What did you find?"
Lin Yang pondered for a moment: "...In the reconstruction of the route model of the support fleet, I found a problem."
As he said, he reached out and called up a brand new holographic interface.
"In the route drawn by the main brain of the Academy of Sciences, the support fleet changes its course every time."
"Change course instantly?" Hearing this, Chief Lu frowned.
"Yes." Lin Yang nodded and added, "No matter how big the angle of change is."
"No matter how many decimal places I can get the time to!"
At this point, Chief Lu finally understood the meaning of Lin Yang's words. He was shocked: "You mean... the fleet's course change operation is carried out in a jumpy manner!"
Lin Yang nodded solemnly.
In theory, the fleet's course change operation should be a coherent process-for example, if the course changes by one degree in one second, then the course change in one millisecond should be one thousandth of a degree.
But the problem now is that if the fleet's course changes by one degree in one second, then whether it is one millisecond, one microsecond or one nanosecond, the angle of the fleet's course change is one degree! !
If the time scale is shortened and the angle of change is expanded...
the support fleet can even instantly complete a 180-degree course change operation in one Planck time! !
This is definitely an unprecedented anomaly! !
Lin Yang hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Chief Lu, I have a guess now..."
"What a coincidence, I also have a guess."
Chief Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the solemn and uneasy look in his eyes, "But we have to contact Wang Jing first and ask her for confirmation."
Lin Yang was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized.
"It seems that we are thinking of the same possibility." Chief Lu glanced at Lin Yang, chuckled and sent a communication request to Wang Jing who was far away in the anti-universe.
...
At the same time.
At the edge of the Xinaluo star system.
After the initial vanguard was exhausted, the large force of giant scorpions also officially entered the scene.
In just a few hours, the huge Xinaluo star system was completely surrounded by dense giant scorpions.
Compared with before, the number of giant scorpions has increased by many times!
The [Gaia] planetary fortress, which is surrounded by a circle of brilliant golden "accretion disk" and is like entering an uninhabited place, has finally met its opponent.
Perhaps realizing the powerful threat of the planetary fortress to ordinary giant scorpions, tens of thousands of 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions united and launched an attack on the planetary fortress together.
Although these attacks could not cause much damage to the planetary fortress, it still slowed down the momentum of the planetary fortress's support.
On the other hand, due to the blockage of the planetary fortress's support and the adjustment of the giant scorpion's combat formation, the targeted assassination of the investigator starship also encountered considerable obstacles.
The direct impact of the high-end combat power being blocked was that the defense pressure of the Xinaluo fleet suddenly increased several times!
In just a few hours, the defense line of the Xinaluo fleet was forced to shrink tens of millions of kilometers backward!
Suddenly, a glittering light suddenly appeared beside the scientific research ship - the scientific research ship with weak combat power had already joined this defensive battle!
It was a thin, seemingly non-thick crystal paper.
The plain-looking crystal paper passed through the dense Xinaluo fleet in a blink of an eye, passed by the porthole of the investigator starship, and finally pierced into the group of giant scorpions with the strongest offensive momentum.
Wow!!!
In the strong white light, as countless giant scorpions disappeared, a painting depicting countless lifelike giant scorpions slowly rose in the starry sky.
Two-dimensional attack!
But just then, several 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions quickly appeared beside the painting, curbing the momentum of the painting spreading outward.
——After experiencing several two-dimensional attacks, these 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions that mastered dimensional technology have found a way to fight against it!
Although the explosion of the two-dimensional painting temporarily curbed the momentum of the giant scorpions rushing forward, the next second, under the leadership of the 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions, the scorpion group behind quickly filled this huge gap!
After easily getting rid of a lone giant scorpion with a few high-dimensional space rifts, Chen Fan skillfully activated the short-distance high-dimensional jump and disappeared again in the visible universe before the 10,000-meter-class giant scorpion arrived.
"Academician Wang!"
Seeing the Xinaluo fleet being forced back step by step and even starting to suffer sporadic casualties, Chen Fan was extremely anxious and couldn't help but call for help from Wang Jing in the research ship: "If this continues, the Xinaluo fleet will not be able to hold on!"
"Support fleet..."
"How long will it take for our support fleet to arrive?!"
