Chapter 444 Home? Home is given!
At the same time.
Boom!!!
An explosive space-time fluctuation was heard from the distant scorpion group, and a planet surrounded by a golden "accretion disk" suddenly appeared in front of the endless sea of scorpions.
[Gaia] forcibly broke away from the encirclement and suppression cage formed by tens of thousands of 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions and came to the Xinaluo defense line that was about to be broken.
For this, it obviously paid a considerable price.
——The originally bright light golden shield became dim, and misty hydrogen clouds were also emanating from the sphere.
This is a sign that the surface armor of the planetary fortress is damaged.
After the dense armor is separated from the large unified field near the hull, it will decay into the most common hydrogen in the universe at a very fast speed.
At the moment of appearance, this planetary fortress rushed towards the scorpion group in front of it.
Just a face-to-face encounter, [Gaia]'s powerful attack method made the scorpion group's forward momentum stagnate.
On the other side, a few small pieces of paper with sparkling luster flew in the distance, like dandelion seeds, lightly falling into the vast scorpion group, randomly taking the lives of a group of lucky ones.
The death of a large number of scorpions made the Xinaluo fleet in this area breathe a sigh of relief.
Under Artesia's orders, some small warships were quickly transferred over, and the originally chaotic defense line became neat again.
This sudden defense crisis seemed to have been properly resolved.
But...
reality is always the opposite of expectations.
The targeted help of the planetary fortress and scientific research ships has greatly alleviated the original defense crisis, but it has also caused a greater crisis.
——The defense pressure of other defense lines increased suddenly. As the thousand-meter-class giant scorpions rushed into the defense line, the number of casualties of the Xinaluo fleet began to gradually increase.
It was like the beginning of an avalanche.
The falling of snowflakes was just a fuse for a collapse of the sky and the earth.
Boom! ! Boom! ! !
The flames of the explosion of the Xinaluo battleship continued to light up at the edge of the star system, and the speed of the defense line contraction began to increase again!
Today, this defensive battle has entered the most tragic stage.
[Defense line retreat! ]
The order from Artesia echoed in the fleet: [At all costs, stop the attack of those thousand-meter-class giant scorpions and buy time for the defense line to contract! ! ]
The order has just been issued.
Several Xinaluo small sampans with a scale of only more than 30 meters took the initiative to leave the defense line and rushed towards the oncoming giant scorpions! !
Faced with the "food" that was delivered to the door, a hint of joy flashed in the vertical pupils of these giant scorpions. They subconsciously opened their abdomens and tried to grab these flexible small sampans.
The next second.
When the giant scorpion's abdomen was about to touch those small sampans, a strong black light suddenly lit up in the starry sky!
——These small sampans took the initiative to detonate the modified dark matter reactors!
The black light of activated dark matter flickered silently in the starry sky, and a huge gap appeared in the abdomen of these thousand-meter-class giant scorpions.
As the light green internal organs escaped from the gap, these giant scorpions lost their vitality after struggling for a while.
Of course.
The few Xinaluo sampans also disappeared completely in this cruel battlefield with the attenuation of the black light.
Such a scene is not an isolated case.
After the battle fell into a white-hot stage, similar situations can be seen everywhere near the Xinaluo defense line.
Whether it is the investigator starship or the planetary fortress, or the scientific research ship staying in the rear, for the growing number of scorpion groups, their attacks are just a drop in the bucket!
In the investigator starship, Chen Fan looked at the scene outside the porthole with an ugly face.
While manipulating the starship to reach the next target location through a short-distance high-dimensional jump, he made a hoarse call to Wang Jing in the scientific research ship in the communication channel.
"Academician Wang!!"
"The Xinaluo civilization can no longer be defended!"
"What should we do now?!"
Swish! !
In just a blink of an eye, the investigator starship roughly disemboweled a giant scorpion and disappeared again in the visible universe.
In the communication link, Wang Jing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said with some difficulty: "Prepare to retreat."
"Tell Queen Ophelia that the research ships and planetary fortresses can carry a considerable number of civilization fires, so that the Xinaluo civilization can be completed as soon as possible..."
"What about these Xinaluo people?!" Chen Fan stared at the communication interface in front of him with bloodshot eyes, "What should they do?"
"..."
Wang Jing did not speak, but it seemed to show his attitude.
"Fuck!" Chen Fan cursed in a low voice, and with a sullen face, he performed a precise disembowelment operation on a giant scorpion that collided head-on.
"Chen Fan, this is also a helpless choice."
Hongshi's gentle voice came from the side, which slightly relieved Chen Fan's tense nerves.
She raised her wrist and called up a huge star map on the console in front of her: "So far, almost all the giant scorpions are heading towards the Xinaluo star system."
"If we don't retreat, conservatively speaking, we will have to face at least thirty to fifty times the number of scorpions."
"Don't even mention the Xinaluo fleet. If this continues, even the investigator starship may not be able to withstand an impact of this scale!"
Chen Fan didn't say anything, just staring blankly at the star map on the console.
In the star map, dense red dots are lined up in a queue stretching for thousands of light years, coming to support the Xinaluo star system.
Just as Redstone said.
The first batch of main forces that have arrived so far only account for less than 5% of the number of scorpion groups.
His eyes slowly moved up and finally stopped at the empty and vast nebula.
The place of creation, which was originally covered with dense red dots, has become extremely deserted at this time. Even the nearest batch of starry sky giant scorpions are more than 3,000 light years away from this nebula!
"Wait, wait..."
Chen Fan murmured in a low voice: "Academician Wang, if..."
"If I can buy another three days, will the support fleet be able to break through that information barrier?"
Wang Jing was stunned and then fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she shook her head slowly, and her voice became increasingly low: "When it comes to material information technology, I... I don't know."
"But one thing is certain, the longer the time, the greater the probability of the support fleet breaking through the information barrier."
Hearing this, Chen Fan took a deep breath: "I understand!"
"In that case..." A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Then try again!"
"One, contact Artesia immediately!"
In the eyes of everyone's doubts, Chen Fan gave an order in a deep voice: "Tell her to unconditionally shrink the defense line and retreat to the Xinaluo star system!!"
"Deploy dark matter mines on the periphery of the star system, the more the better, use all the dark matter shells and mines for me!!"
Hongshi blinked and looked at Chen Fan beside her with a blank face: "Chen, Chen Fan?"
She didn't quite understand Chen Fan's intention to do this.
Dark matter mines, the full name is dark matter matrix space mines, because the detonation method is very similar to mines, so it has this name.
It is true that the dark matter mines can indeed cause considerable damage to the scorpion group, but this disposable weapon...
can only slow down the scorpion group's pace at most, and it is impossible to cause much damage to the scorpion group, let alone reverse the situation.
Retreating to the Xinaluo star system...
wouldn't this be like being trapped in a jar?
When the starry sky giant scorpion solves the dark matter mines, what awaits the Xinaluo civilization will probably be a one-sided massacre! !
Moreover...
doing this will not give the Xinaluo fleet three days!
Conservatively estimated... three hours is a good result!
In Hongshi's opinion, these orders from Chen Fan are not much different from seeking death!
As if he noticed the confusion in Hongshi and the others' hearts, Chen Fan calmly pointed to the red nebula that spread for thousands of light years in the holographic star map.
"Did you see it?"
"The Land of Creation, the nest of the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion." Chen Fan's mouth kept rising. "Speaking of which, it was Hongshi who reminded me. Now, their nest is empty!!"
The moment the voice fell, Hongshi's eyes widened suddenly.
She seemed to understand Chen Fan's plan.
Hongshi looked a little excited: "You, you want to..."
"Yes!"
Chen Fan raised his hand and pointed at the red nebula in the star map again: "Let's go to the Land of Creation!"
"Xina Luo Star System?"
"Who wants it? Take it!"
Home?
Home is given!!
...
After Chen Fan's order was issued, the Xina Luo fleet, which had been struggling to support, retreated quickly like the tide at ebb.
They even stopped attacking the approaching giant scorpion, but relied on the modified curvature engine to quickly withdraw to the Xina Luo star system behind.
It's not just the Xina Luo fleet.
After randomly launching various powerful attacks, the investigator starships, planetary fortresses and scientific research ships also "fleeed in panic" to the Xina Luo star system through short-distance high-dimensional jumps.
At the original place, only the [Space-Time Trap] that was still in operation and countless warship debris and giant scorpion remains were left.
There were also various types of dark matter shells and space mines.
In just over ten minutes, the originally chaotic battlefield had become extremely empty.
This sudden and huge change obviously brought a lot of trouble to the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion.
Without the containment of the planetary fortress, a large number of 10,000-meter-class giant scorpions gathered together again, looking at the star system in front of them that was wrapped in various mechanical debris.
Deep confusion and bewilderment were revealed in the eyes of each giant scorpion.
Is there a trick?
This thought came to the minds of the giant scorpions at the first time.
A giant scorpion with the largest body narrowed its eyes and carefully looked at the battlefield in front of it.
Then, he opened his ferocious mouthparts and sent a silent tachyon hiss to the surrounding scorpions.
In the hiss, the restless scorpions instantly became quiet.
They did not move forward, but only looked at the Xinaluo star system that had fallen into silence again, as if waiting for the Xinaluo civilization to take the first step.
Time passed by bit by bit.
The uneasiness in the eyes of the giant scorpion leader gradually became stronger - in its senses, the space-time fluctuations within the Xinaluo star system were gradually weakening at a constant rate.
