Chapter 530 The only weakness?
Flagship fortress, command center.
Outside the porthole, the golden composite shield was regenerated, and circles of ripples were rippling on it, which were gradually calming down. This was the echo of the peak collision just now. The intensity of the gravitational waves generated by the collision was even far greater than the gravitational waves released by the merger of most black holes.
"This... is it dead?"
Fang Yunsheng stared at the giant scorpion that gradually turned into a misty particle cloud in the dim starry sky, and his brain was a little bit unable to react for a while.
How difficult the previous battle with the Apophis giant scorpion was, how much more confused Fang Yunsheng was now.
This is too easy!
In fact, Fang Yunsheng had already prepared a lot of subsequent offensive plans in his mind, including but not limited to the desperate fighting method of releasing macro-electronic bombs close to the face.
At first glance, this operation seems very reckless.
But in the previous situation, this was actually a helpless move.
Fang Yunsheng knew very well that it was unrealistic to defeat a high-level civilization of the same level nine or even higher technology with only a standard-sized pan-universe peacekeeping fleet and an urgently allocated Genesis Fortress of the smallest scale.
As early as the moment he received the order from the Academy of Sciences, he was actually ready to sacrifice.
But now...
the actual battle situation is obviously different from what he expected.
Sacrifice?
What sacrifice?
The current flagship fortress can even suppress the Apophis giant scorpion, so what sacrifice is there to talk about!
Although he was very puzzled, Fang Yunsheng looked at the giant scorpion leader who was completely motionless outside the porthole, and his eyes could not help but show some joy.
If there is a choice, who would not want to win the first-class merit or special merit while alive?
On the other side, Academician Xu Mingqi, who had prepared himself mentally with Fang Yunsheng and was ready to die, was also stunned at this time.
"It should... probably... really be dead..."
Xu Mingqi answered Fang Yunsheng's question hesitantly.
He scratched his head, turned his head and cast his gaze on the holographic star map beside him, which clearly showed the battle situation of the entire rule battlefield.
This glance made Xu Mingqi, who was already doubting his life, fall into deep confusion.
——Very similar to the situation faced by the flagship fortress, the peacekeeping fleet did not suffer the expected huge losses. On the contrary, the casualties of the fleet even dropped significantly!
Even... the attack team composed of hundreds of main battleships was still chasing the Apophis giant scorpion everywhere in the rule battlefield!
Fang Yunsheng obviously also noticed this abnormal phenomenon. He looked at the messy star map with a look of astonishment, and then looked at Xu Mingqi beside him, and tentatively asked: "Could it be... the credit of the rule battlefield?"
Before Xu Mingqi could speak, he shook his head to deny his thoughts.
Others may not know, but he, an "old hand" who has commanded more than one war, naturally knows very well that the effect of the rule battlefield is far from being so powerful.
At least, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate the gap in strength between the two by just relying on some changes in the rules, let alone let the fleet chase the giant scorpion and beat it!
The reason is very simple.
Whether it is time technology or information flow control technology, the many powerful technologies that the Apophis giant scorpion has used before have not been shown on this chaotic battlefield so far - those giant scorpions rely entirely on their strong bodies to fight the peacekeeping fleet head-on!
Rather than saying that the rules of the battlefield have eliminated the gap in strength between the peacekeeping fleet and the Apophis giant scorpion, it is better to say...
the physical state of those giant scorpions seems to have suddenly undergone some abnormal changes that have taken a sharp turn for the worse! !
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Fang Yunsheng's casual words made Xu Mingqi fall into deep thought.
"Rules..."
He looked at the particle cloud that slowly spread out in the dim starry sky, and a little enlightenment appeared in his eyes: "You are right... This may really be the credit of Genesis Fortress and Rule Battlefield!"
Fang Yunsheng: "?"
"What the hell?" Fang Yunsheng looked at Xu Mingqi in disbelief, "When did the Rule Battlefield have such a powerful effect?"
"It's not that the Rule Battlefield has a powerful effect!"
Xu Mingqi stood up from his seat excitedly, and at the same time quickly initiated a communication request to the research ship that was still behind the battlefield: "But..."
...
"The Apophis Giant Scorpion has no mastery of rule technology at all?"
"And their bodies have extremely low tolerance for rule changes?!"
In the TE1571 research ship, Wang Jing looked at Xu Mingqi who was talking freely in the communication interface, and fell into complete silence.
The ghost fleet that Chen Fan mentioned was still paying attention to this war did not appear, but the peacekeeping fleet had gained a considerable advantage.
This scene certainly brought Wang Jing a lot of surprise, but she still held a skeptical attitude towards Xu Mingqi's judgment.
An advanced civilization that has mastered information flow control technology and even has a certain degree of time technology, but has not even mastered rule technology. Listen, is this ridiculous? You
know, the foundation of rule technology, [Source Theory], is the foundation for the Human Union to advance to the ninth-level civilization, and it is also the first ninth-level theory mastered by the Human Union!
In Wang Jing's view, Xu Mingqi's judgment is no different from a skyscraper that "grows" freely in the sky without any foundation or load-bearing columns.
"That's right!"
Although he noticed Wang Jing's questioning eyes, Xu Mingqi did not stop talking, but continued with an excited look: "Academician Wang, do you remember what happened to these Apophis giant scorpions when they left the central black hole event horizon?"
Wang Jing was slightly stunned, and then nodded repeatedly: "Of course."
As he spoke, Wang Jing, who once again recalled the scene of the "Grayfish" rapidly disintegrating and perishing, felt somewhat relieved.
He had to admit that they were indeed lucky.
- The event horizon of the central black hole helped the peacekeeping fleet to kill at least 90% of the Apophis giant scorpion's manpower.
Less than 400 Apophis giant scorpions had caused such a big trouble to the peacekeeping fleet, not to mention the lethality of more than 4,000 Apophis giant scorpions!
If it hadn't been for that silent "mass extinction", the peacekeeping fleet would probably have become food residue in the giant scorpion's stomach! !
"I suspect that the reason these giant scorpions are unable to quickly leave the event horizon is mainly because of a conflict of rules!"
Xu Mingqi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Simply put, their bodies are not adapted to the rules of this universe, just like fish cannot live without water. This conflict in rules will only be more deadly."
"For example, the difference between strong interaction and electromagnetic interaction is enough to cause the bodies of these giant scorpions to disintegrate!"
Wang Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously thinking of the scene of the giant scorpion leader's body disintegrating after his death. She nodded slightly: "Go on."
"In the cognition of the Human Union, or in other words, within the territory of the Human Union, the rules of each universe bubble tend to be consistent, so we have never considered this situation." Xu Mingqi licked his dry lips lightly, and the excitement in his eyes became more intense, "But these giant scorpions are different!"
"I suspect..."
"Their world, the cosmic bubble they are in, is quite different from the human world!"
Hearing this, Wang Jing finally frowned: "Xiao Xu, your statement... is a bit out of line."
The Academy of Sciences has never stopped exploring the origins of cosmic bubbles and hyperspace membranes. Correspondingly, the highly convergent phenomenon of cosmic bubble rules also attracted the attention of the Academy of Sciences at the first time.
However...
in the Academy of Sciences' cognition, or in the process of the Academy of Sciences' exploration, the reason for this highly convergent rule is actually on the hyperspace membrane.
The cosmic bubble was born on the surface of the hyperspace membrane, and even the so-called cosmic membrane is a special variant of the hyperspace membrane. This is beyond doubt.
And the hyperspace membrane and the cosmic membrane are constructed by a large number of rule-space chimeras.
Therefore, the rules inside the cosmic bubble are naturally closely related to the rules contained in the cosmic membrane itself.
If she remembered correctly, in order to investigate this phenomenon and publish a few papers with a little gold content, many researchers who have not yet become academicians like to collect and compare information about chimeras on the hyperspace membrane - the territory of the Human Union has been expanding at an astonishing rate, and this topic has naturally become a popular option that has never faded.
Thanks to this, the Academy of Sciences has mastered extremely detailed data on hyperspace membrane chimeras very early, and some people have conducted integrated analysis of these data.
The results of the analysis are very simple.
The hyperspace membrane, at least the hyperspace membrane within the territory of the Human Union, is uniform, and the rules contained in the chimera are also uniform.
It is for this reason that the rules of the cosmic bubble within the territory of the Human Union have a very high degree of convergence.
Based on a large amount of data, several academicians who study cosmology have also conducted extrapolation research - in fact, not only the hyperspace membrane within the territory of the Human Union, but also the hyperspace membrane outside the territory is very likely to be uniform.
Of course, unlike the previous conclusion, this conclusion is just a conjecture.
A conjecture that has not been disproven so far.
"Xiao Xu." Thinking of this, Wang Jing pondered for a moment, frowned and continued, "The Academy of Sciences has never found evidence that the hyperspace membrane is uneven, you..."
"Who said there is no!"
Xu Mingqi's voice suddenly became louder, and he interrupted Wang Jing's unfinished words: "Academician Wang, I found a paper describing the phenomenon of hyperspace membrane unevenness in the core database of the Academy of Sciences!"
Now, it was Wang Jing's turn to be stunned.
There are such unreliable papers in the core database of the Academy of Sciences?
What a joke? !
You know, the papers that can be included in the core database are all published by academicians!
If there is really an academician who discovered such a phenomenon, then there is no reason for her not to know it - such a discovery is enough to subvert the Academy of Sciences' understanding of hyperspace membranes. To put it in a bigger way, this thing can even shock the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences!
Before Wang Jing questioned it, a paper had appeared in front of Wang Jing along the communication link.
At first glance, it was the title that shocked her.
"The Hyperspace Membrane is Not Uniform - A Conjecture Based on the Observation Results of Partial Rule-Space Chimera"
"Oh my god, there really is such a paper..."
Looking at the timestamp of the paper being included in the core database, Wang Jing finally showed some surprise on her face: "Why does this inclusion time feel weird..."
The timestamp showed that this paper was just included in the core database within the past year.
She recalled for a while, and finally shook her head helplessly.
No impression.
She really couldn't think of any big guy who published such a heavyweight paper in the past year.
"Old Xu!"
As the holographic communication interface shook violently, Fang Yunsheng's shout came from the communication channel: "Are you done?"
"We have to hurry to find the next blind giant scorpion!"
"Almost!" Xu Mingqi stabilized his body and looked at Wang Jing anxiously, "Academician Wang, please take a look at this paper. If my guess is correct, perhaps we have found the only weakness of the Apophis giant scorpion!"
"I see."
Wang Jing came back to her senses. She glanced at the flagship fortress that was rampaging in the rule battlefield, knowing that now was not the time to be distracted.
She gathered her mind and quickly focused on the main text of the paper.
The data provided by the paper is not complicated, and can even be described as simple and crude - in the newly opened territory of the Human Union, the rule-space chimera has abnormal fluctuations. In the instrument's detection, its rule deviation even exceeded 20% of the "base frequency".
In the simplest terms.
If a universe is born on this hyperspace membrane, the upper limit of the speed of light in this universe will even reach 360,000 kilometers per second.
Without the interference of Genesis Fortress, this is undoubtedly an astonishing value!
"Hiss..."
Wang Jing took a breath and whispered: "There is such a thing..."
But why is no one in the Academy of Sciences paying attention to this news?
Also, which big guy wrote this paper?
Wang Jing's thoughts moved, and the papers in the holographic interface flipped rapidly, and finally stopped at the paper signature column.
"..."
Looking at the signature on the paper, Wang Jing's eyes twitched suddenly, and she fell into complete silence.
"Academician Wang?" Xu Mingqi's voice came from the communication channel, urging her to move again.
"Xiao Xu, do you know who wrote this paper?"
Wang Jing took a deep breath, calmed the black mud undercurrent in her heart, and asked back in a calm tone as much as possible.
“Huh?”
Xu Mingqi was stunned for a moment, and just like Wang Jing, he quickly flipped through the papers in front of him: “Academician Song Ziliang?”
“Strange... I don’t seem to have heard of a Level I academician with this name in the Academy of Sciences...”
“Because this fucking Song Ziliang is a fucking formal academician who just got rid of his intern status!!!” Wang Jing looked at Xu Mingqi with a fake smile, “Don’t even mention a Level I academician, this guy can only be considered a Level III academician!”
“Besides, he’s my fucking subordinate!”
Xu Mingqi: “...”
“I was wondering why the time of inclusion of this paper is so weird...” Wang Jing’s eyes twitched, “It turns out that this paper was included in the core database because Song Ziliang was promoted to academician...”
Xu Mingqi: “...”
My brother was sweating profusely.
The Academy of Sciences does have such a tradition - when a researcher is promoted to a full academician, all of his previously published papers will be included in the core database.
After all, being an academician means that the researcher has real talent and knowledge, and the papers he has published are naturally worth including.
"How about..."
Xu Mingqi's voice was a little dry, and he continued with some reluctance: "Academician Wang, why don't you ask Academician Song Ziliang?"
"Maybe..."
"What can I gain..."
Xu Mingqi's voice became softer and softer.
To be honest.
When Xu Mingqi learned that this paper was written by a newly promoted academician, and was even a "work" written by this academician when he was a researcher, he also began to waver in his previous conjecture.
