Chapter 497 Dark Matter Fishing Net
Ten minutes later.
With Chen Fan's explanation, the atmosphere in the investigator's starship eased a little.
Hongshi looked at Chen Fan beside her with a complicated expression, and then looked at Fang Yunsheng, who was wearing the uniform of the Human Alliance in the holographic communication interface.
As a veteran Class III investigator, after the initial shock, she quickly obtained some information from the communication between Chen Fan and Fang Yunsheng.
This general Fang, who commanded the fleet, should have met Chen Fan not long ago, that is, when Chen Fan was an experimental assistant for Wang Jing.
In her eyes, it was a natural thing for Chen Fan to serve as an experimental assistant. After all, Chen Fan was the only one in the entire Human Alliance who had the ability to control the flow of information.
But in the eyes of others, it might not be such a simple thing.
If the Academy of Sciences holds the highest power in the Human Alliance, then the Class I academicians of the Academy of Sciences are undoubtedly the top existence in the Human Alliance. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, even if Chen Fan is only an assistant to a Class I academician, he is definitely not an unknown person.
Of course.
This should also be due to the tacit approval and promotion of Academician Wang. After all, unlike other investigators, Chen Fan is indeed special. Putting aside the various matters related to Chen Fan and broadcast civilization, his powerful ability to manipulate information flow is irreplaceable!
Perhaps Fang Yunsheng is not clear about Chen Fan's ability, but he can definitely see Chen Fan's specialness from Wang Jing's attitude.
Correspondingly, within his ability, he is naturally willing to make friends with Chen Fan.
After figuring out several key points, Hongshi's worries about Chen Fan's previous overstepping of authority gradually dissipated.
At least, Chen Fan will not be sent to the United Military Court because of this.
After the worries disappeared, Hongshi's attention quickly focused on the hidden giant scorpion from the node universe described by Chen Fan.
"You mean, there are probably some giant scorpions that have mastered material information technology hidden in this cosmic bubble?"
In the communication interface, Fang Yunsheng's expression has completely changed from relaxed to serious: "If this is true, then the information barrier around this cosmic bubble has a reasonable explanation."
"Not only that." Chen Fan continued, "Previous combat experience can prove that there is a very strict class division within the scorpion group. I even suspect..."
He paused and said shockingly: "The scorpion group that appeared now is driven by the other party."
"Cannon fodder?"
Fang Yunsheng nodded and made a concise summary.
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized the problem.
"At present, the average strength of each giant scorpion has reached the level of the main battleship of the eighth-level civilization."
Fang Yunsheng's eyes twitched slightly, and his face became ugly.
Cannon fodder of the eighth-level civilization?
Even the Human Union doesn't have such luxury!
Intelligent creatures are the foundation of a civilization.
If there are no resources, we can just mine from other universes. After all, the hyperspace membrane is so large that the amount of resources inside is difficult to estimate with numbers. However, if a large number of highly intelligent creatures die, even the Human Union will inevitably enter a period of decline. This is also a major reason for the existence of the Dangerous Technology Administration. Before the emergence of the broadcasting civilization, it was mainly used to prevent civilizations from committing suicide.
Fang Yunsheng murmured in a low voice: "Using an eighth-level civilization as cannon fodder in the war, the opponent's strength may be..."
Before he finished speaking, a rapid alarm sounded in the command center of the flagship fortress, and the originally quiet command center suddenly became a little commotion.
"What happened?"
Fang Yunsheng calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"High-intensity space-time fluctuations have been detected in the star field surrounding the fleet!" A hurried report came from the side, "The preliminary judgment is that it is a super-large scorpion swarm!"
"Tsk."
A trace of anger appeared on Fang Yunsheng's face: "Why didn't they come earlier or later, but they came when the fleet was retreating..."
He took a deep breath, calmed his inner irritability, and turned his gaze to Chen Fan again: "Brother Chen Fan, you have also seen the offensive of these insects."
"Since the Kraken has successfully awakened, let's start cutting the microcosm as soon as possible."
"After the microcosm is cut, the Genesis Fortress will be completely freed up, and the pressure on the fleet will be reduced a lot."
As he said, he turned his head to look at the starry sky outside the porthole, which was lit up with dazzling flames again: "I have a bad feeling, maybe... we have to evacuate this universe as soon as possible."
"General Fang!" Before Chen Fan could speak, another hurried voice sounded from the side, "The scorpion swarm has launched a general attack again! They are not going to let us retreat!!"
"Damn insects!"
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine." Fang Yunsheng's face was gloomy. He cursed in a low voice and stood up directly. "Notify the fleet to continue the attack!"
"Open the temporary microcosm and smash all those stars and anti-stars!"
"I want to see whether the shells of these insects are hard or the power of the annihilation starburst is greater!"
The moment the voice fell, the communication link was quietly interrupted, and the investigator starship returned to silence again.
"This..." Isha looked at the interface showing the words [Communication has been interrupted], and looked at Chen Fan in the main driving seat with some hesitation, "What should we do now?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Fan gritted his teeth: "Just do as General Fang said, and start cutting the microcosm!"
...
Outside the Creation Land, the main battlefield.
Tens of thousands of warships were scattered in the vast starry sky, forming an encirclement with the Creation Land as the core.
These warships, which were hundreds or thousands of kilometers in size, seemed particularly small in the star field of tens of thousands of light years.
Even though the shields on the surface of these warships flashed with dazzling light, it was still difficult to observe them directly with the naked eye
. To use an intuitive way of description, these warships were equivalent to tens of thousands of small dust particles in the stadium. Not to mention the naked eye, even some low-level civilizations would probably find it difficult to accurately locate these warships in the starry sky tens of thousands of light years away. On the other hand, the scorpion group.
The star field hundreds of light years in front of the fleet was filled with dense scorpions.
With the continuous strong fluctuations of time and space, the number of scorpion groups continued to grow. Just like the original Xinaluo star system, countless giant scorpions directly wrapped the star field tens of thousands of light years away into a huge scorpion ball.
Such a huge number naturally means extremely terrifying mass.
Theoretically, the gravity brought by this mass is enough to squeeze this huge scorpion group into a tight meat ball. Even under the squeeze of gravity, the meat ball will release magnificent light and heat inside, becoming a huge star suspended in the starry sky, or even a white dwarf, neutron star or...
black hole!
But with the help of gravity shielding technology, this huge number of scorpions piled up in the starry sky without any worries, and followed the guidance of the unknown, launching a full-scale charge towards the seemingly weak human fleet in front!
From the visual effect alone, the momentum of the human fleet seemed to have been completely suppressed by this huge scorpion group.
But!
It was this sparse defense network composed of warships that almost perfectly blocked the impact of the scorpion group.
The black light of the dark matter cannon intertwined in the starry sky, weaving into a constantly flashing and dangerous interception net.
Under the control of the flagship main brain, each dark matter cannon beam that made up this large net was constantly adjusting its direction in the high-frequency flashing, and even this large net with a scale of more than ten thousand light years was slowly rising and falling in the high-frequency flashing.
It was like a fishing net surging up and down in the waves.
The "dark matter fishing net" was thrown into the vast starry sky, directly netting tens of trillions or even hundreds of trillions of giant scorpions of varying sizes!
The "dark matter silk thread" in it was extremely accurate and swept on each sprinting giant scorpion.
Boom boom boom! !
The black light continued to spread in the starry sky, and then suddenly decayed into an incandescent explosion of fire. The pale green corpses of the giant scorpions flew everywhere in the fire, and some were directly transformed into countless dust and basic particles.
Of course.
This dark matter "fishing net" extending outward for tens of thousands of light years is not the most dazzling existence on the battlefield.
What really attracts attention is the flashing light that bursts out from the mesh of the "fishing net" from time to time - that is the flash in the process of dimensionality increase and decrease.
Unlike the petty dimensionality reduction attack of the scientific research ship, the dimensionality reduction attack launched by the human fleet can be called a grand one. The
dimensionality reduction attack covering hundreds of light years, or even thousands of light years of star fields, mercilessly harvested the lives of small giant scorpions.
These lights intertwined with each other in every corner of the starry sky, constantly triggering gravitational tides that were enough to tear apart any star again and again.
Suddenly.
A tachyon order came from the flagship fortress sitting firmly in the rear, and quickly spread to the entire fleet.
After a short wait, thousands of warships broke away from the defense line without hesitation, and a small gap appeared in the originally complete dark matter fishing net.
The scorpion group, struggling to break through the fleet's defense net, obviously would not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Almost at the same time, the ten-thousand-meter-class giant scorpions in the scorpion group issued a series of silent hisses, and the huge scorpion group also turned around in this silent tachyon hiss, and rushed towards the gap in the dark matter fishing net together.
On the other side.
The thousands of warships did not leave after leaving the defense line, but retreated to the empty star field behind the defense net.
Long before the start of this war, this star field was completely cleaned up.
Not to mention stars and planets, even the asteroids in the starry sky were "cleaned up" by the engineering ships in the fleet.
Buzz...buzz...
an extremely powerful space-time fluctuation spread out from these thousands of warships, causing the already turbulent space-time ocean to become even more violent.
As the surface of the space-time ocean continued to rise, a constantly rotating vortex slowly appeared in the starry sky.
The small universe channel is open!
This scene is a replica of the scene in the Xinaluo mother galaxy!
However, compared with the space-time vortex that appeared in the Xinaluo mother galaxy, the scale of this vortex is obviously larger.
Not to mention the small stars, even the entire Xinaluo mother galaxy can be easily swallowed by it!
When the space-time vortex stabilized, more than a thousand warships that had been waiting on the side suddenly rushed forward and rushed into the vortex-they entered this temporary small universe.
At the same time, the first batch of scorpions had already rushed into the gap of the dark matter fishing net under the fire of the human coalition fleet.
Strangely enough, facing the scorpion group that suddenly broke through the defense line, the fleet did not take many countermeasures, but mobilized the warships in the distance to fire a few dark matter cannons and two-dimensional fragments, which were better than nothing.
It seems that...
the fleet deliberately let the scorpion group in.
The scorpion group, which had long been bloodthirsty, did not realize this and continued to rush towards the gap.
To be more precise, since the order from the depths of the universe appeared, the scorpion group has completely lost its mind, and almost only this human fleet is left in their eyes.
The 100-meter giant scorpion is like this, the 1,000-meter giant scorpion is like this, and the 10,000-meter giant scorpion is like this.
Inside the flagship fortress.
The flickering signal lights and the dazzling scarlet prompt information in the holographic interface made the atmosphere in the command center seem more and more anxious.
"General, the scorpion group has passed the gap!"
An officer reported loudly.
"What is the size of the scorpion group?" Fang Yunsheng raised his head slightly and stared at the holographic star map in front of him.
The star map was filled with dense, constantly moving red dots and white dotted lines - each red dot represented millions of giant scorpions, and those dotted lines were the curvature fluctuation trajectories from all directions.
These trajectories from high-precision detectors and shipborne mainframes seemed chaotic, but in fact they contained some complex rules.
Fang Yunsheng was trying to find the rules in order to determine the location of the person behind the scenes.
"Currently, 5% of the giant scorpions have gathered in the gap."
"Only 5% so far?" Fang Yunsheng frowned and shook his head in dissatisfaction, "Too little! These giant scorpions are too slow!"
"Notify the fleet to increase the gap to one thousand light years, and at the same time shrink the surrounding dark matter defense network to drive those giant scorpions into the gap as soon as possible!"
"One thousand light years?!" The officer who reported the military situation earlier was shocked, and a look of horror appeared on his face, "This, isn't it too risky to do this?"
"What if..."
"No what if." Fang Yunsheng's expression became serious, "The work of cutting the microcosm of the Creation Land has begun. If you want to get rid of the entanglement of these scorpion groups as soon as possible, you must give the scorpion groups a hard blow!"
"...I understand." The officer nodded, his expression became more solemn.
"The microcosm channel has been successfully opened, and all the warships have entered the microcosm!" Another report sounded in the command center.
"Very good."
Fang Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction: "Notify the fleet, when the number of scorpions in the gap reaches 30% of the total scorpions, we will close the net as planned!!"
...
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
The originally complete dark matter net slowly shrank at a steady speed in the starry sky, and the gap spanning a thousand light years became a paradise for the scorpions.
Countless giant scorpions gathered in the gap and rushed towards the fleet in front of them under the leadership of the ten thousand meter giant scorpions.
At the same time.
In the star field behind the fleet, extremely strong space-time fluctuations suddenly emerged from the smoothly running space-time vortex.
This sudden strong space-time fluctuation quickly attracted the attention of the scorpions.
They opened their scarlet eyes and cast their eyes on the deep, empty starry sky in front of them, trying to find the source of the space-time fluctuations.
Obviously.
They failed.
Although the orders from the dark still drove them to continue to sprint forward, the instinct engraved in their genes sounded the alarm for them-in the universe, such strong space-time fluctuations often mean the approach of danger.
The scorpions could not resist the command from the unknown, but their forward speed slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly!
The already strong space-time fluctuations increased again in leaps and bounds, and the space-time vortex that was spinning rapidly in the deep starry sky suddenly expanded.
Before the giant scorpion could react, a silver-white warship with bright red lines on its surface had "squeezed" out of the expanding vortex.
Behind the warship, there was a huge star flashing orange-red light.
This is a red giant! A red giant from the star field surrounding the place of creation! !
As the warship and the red giant left the vortex, the strong space-time fluctuations suddenly paused, and then began to fall sharply.
But...
the process of falling back only lasted less than a second!
The moment the second warship appeared, the space-time roar that lingered in the ocean of space and time sounded again.
Rumble...
red giants, blue giants, white dwarfs, neutron stars...
warships lined up in a queue, pulling different planets out of the vortex of time and space in just a few minutes!
Finally.
When the roar of space and time reached its peak, several medium-sized black holes were spit out in succession from the space-time vortex! !
These planets were neatly arranged in the starry sky under the traction of the warships, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
If you look closely, among the more than a thousand planets, nearly half of them have a different shape - their surface is covered with a layer of light golden protective force field, as if isolating something.
These planets are the core of the annihilation star explosion, which is also known as the anti-star body!
Looking at the scene in front of them, the scorpion group's pace of charging forward suddenly paused.
The four scarlet eyes of the ten thousand meter giant scorpions in the lead have already had some fear - although they have come from afar and have not personally experienced the annihilation star explosion in the place of creation, they have learned about the power of this attack from the "last words" left by their own kind. Swish
! ! !
The strong space-time fluctuations flashed quietly, and the more than a thousand planets arranged in the starry sky disappeared instantly.
Star curvature technology!
In just a blink of an eye, these stars of astonishing mass set off a space-time tsunami in this star field!
When they appeared again, they were already in front of the scorpion group! !
Looking at a rapidly spinning neutron star close at hand, a 10,000-meter giant scorpion finally realized it and let out a sharp and shrill hissing sound.
...
On the other side, in the star field of the Creation Land.
Chen Fan's consciousness body left the investigator starship again and came to the undulating sea of stars.
"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"
After checking the physical condition of the Kraken and asking it to make corresponding preparations, Chen Fan sent a unique format of information flow to the investigator starship next to him.
This is the communication method that Chen Fan learned from the Kraken.
By "manually" adjusting the intensity and frequency of the information flow, in order to actively adapt to the brain of carbon-based creatures-the Kraken's "oracle" is released in this way.
Of course, if you really want to trace the source, the real inventor of this technology should be the ghost fleet.
But this has formed a unique logical paradox: the future Xinaluo civilization tells Kraken how to issue oracles, and Kraken uses this method to issue oracles to the current Xinaluo civilization. It is not difficult to imagine that Xinaluo civilization will sooner or later be inspired by it and develop corresponding means...
Then the question is, who should be the real source of this technology?
Kraken, or Xinaluo civilization?
Chen Fan shook his head, no longer wasting his brainpower thinking about the weird time paradox, and turned his gaze to the starry sky in front of him.
Cutting a small universe is not a rare thing.
But cutting a small universe with a scale of 10,000 light years is definitely a rare thing!
Especially, he is now in the star field that is about to be cut!
ps: I have been stuck for a while these two days, so I wrote a little slowly, sorry.
