Three minutes later, Qin Guang sat in the strategic command module.
Although he was still receiving a very painful brain cell telomere activation treatment that could slightly prolong his life a few minutes ago, the treatment energy tubes on his head have not been removed, but his mental state has recovered to the stage of complete victory, just like when he first emerged in the galaxy-level battle in uniform two hundred years ago.
The fleet's concealed fortifications were quickly opened.
The enhanced curvature bubble was activated synchronously.
The first and second vanguard fleets rushed forward, leaving the common curvature bubble layer of the large fleet, and prepared to rush forward in advance.
The individual special warfare unit headed by Tong Ling broke away from the fleet from the flank and gradually approached under the cover of the first and second vanguard fleets.
At the same time, the technical team had quickly completed the enemy analysis.
The worm was officially named the curvature four-dimensional devourer.
This is a magical life.
It does not need the protection of the curvature bubble to fly freely in the curvature space.
The unstable curvature space that can continuously apply a super-strong force field that can distort any substance is the most suitable water flow for this devourer.
What gives it this special ability is its mouthpart structure that is consistent from head to tail.
Energy analysis shows that the mouth of the devourer is constantly devouring the nearby space and scattered particles.
Fleet scientists marked one of the particles that was about to be sucked into the mouthparts of the devourer.
Almost at the moment the particle was sucked in, the same marked particle flew out at its tail.
The time difference between the two was 0, and the 300-kilometer body length of the Devourer seemed to be non-existent.
As the nameless fleet remotely marked more and more particles, a simulation diagram was drawn.
The Devourer is like a bent magnet. Space, energy, and particles use the mouthparts at the two ends of the Devourer as the origin, first spreading and expanding, and then contracting at the other end, forming a variable magnetic field structure.
Moreover, visually, the Devourer has a length, but the analysis experiment has come to a strange conclusion that the distance between its two ends does not exist, and the space seems to be folded.
The front port is like a one-sided black hole, and the mouth at the tail is a one-sided white hole.
This obviously forms a paradox, because it does have length. Perhaps it is just that when matter passes through its body, the concept of time is erased, or the space-time law in its body has become another law.
Each curvature four-dimensional phagocytosis is like a super-small group of folding star gates.
The magnetic field structure formed by the continuous mass-energy transfer cycle between the head and tail of the phagocytosis resists the unstable force field in the curvature space, allowing the phagocytosis to thrive.
"Implement Plan AB. The vanguard fleet and special forces conduct exploratory contact with the enemy. The main fleet uses reserve energy to enter curvature suspension."
For human ships, curvature space is not a good battlefield for contact.
Once the outer bubble layer is broken, the fleet will need to break the overall energy balance and have many ships reorganize their own defense layers, which will consume a large amount of energy reserves and greatly limit the mobility of small combat units.
At the same time, once it is determined that the ability of the devouring worms exceeds the limit of the ability of the human fleet's conventional operations, the large force must transfer the battlefield to the original three-dimensional space, turn on the stealth function in the original three-dimensional space, and move billions of kilometers stealthily to transfer to the new curvature gravity line as quickly as possible.
About fifteen minutes later, the vanguard fleet officially engaged the enemy.
At this time, the curvature thinking devouring worms had also discovered the human warships. After a series of seemingly chaotic rapid adjustments, hundreds of millions of devouring worms quickly adjusted their directions like a swarm of bees that discovered the enemy, and aimed their front ends at the direction where the human warships were approaching, and then began to move.
The human warships began to launch long-range weapons, including hyper-speed missiles equipped with curvature engines, and high-energy real energy fluid rays that could be propulsed in curvature space.
The rays arrived first, but failed to take effect.
Either it changed direction and deviated due to the attraction of the magnetic field on the surface of the Devouring Worm, or it was swallowed up by the Devouring Worm's mouthparts like other mass-energy in the curvature space, and then leaked out from the other end, partly integrated into the magnetic field-like structure, and partly continued to escape backwards and sank into the far end of the gravitational line channel.
Immediately afterwards, the missile detonated itself when approaching the Devouring Worm.
The shock wave and tearing of space released by the missile were no different from the encounter of the real energy fluid ray.
"The energy reaction of the Devouring Worm is very similar to that of the Crystal Tardigrade, but it has the ability to allocate energy autonomously and will not be blown up again. Its physical essence is a piece of subspace. Every Devouring Worm has a piece of subspace in its body!"
Based on the reaction of human weapons, the technicians quickly came to a conclusion.
A moment later, the swarm of devouring insects approached the vanguard fleet at an extremely fast speed.
It did not release any destructive energy, but silently passed over the vanguard fleet's outermost highly maneuverable small ships.
In the battlefield simulation, the magnetic field structure network and the vanguard ship's curvature bubble and protective layer were seamlessly intertwined and overlapped.
The alarms in the battle report system sounded one after another.
"The power system of the first fleet A intelligent battleship has failed."
"The weapon loading system has failed."
"The energy transmission system has leaked!"
"The curvature engine has failed!"
"The stability of the intelligent battleship's hull structure has been destructively hit!"
...
Just three minutes later, the final statistical report was displayed.
"A total of 360 smart warships of the vanguard fleet have lost communication. The entire army has been destroyed."
In fact, there is no need to report this. The commanders in the rear can clearly see through the battlefield simulation that the more than 300 unmanned ships have lost the protection of the curvature bubble layer and quickly disintegrated into fragments in the curvature space. Then they are continuously sucked in and discharged by countless devouring worms, and restored to real energy particles, which are then absorbed by the devouring worms.
The ring structure on the surface of the devouring worms is increasing in circles during this process.
As a large number of automated equipment were destroyed without any resistance, Qin Guang immediately ordered the manned ships in the rear of the vanguard fleet to stop moving forward, retreat quickly, and prepare to leave the curvature flight state while retreating.
The battlefield must be returned to the original three-dimensional space as soon as possible.
But it was too late.
The next moment, the magnetic field network outside the Devouring Worm expanded rapidly, covering most of the vanguard battleships.
"The heart and lung functions of the crew are abnormal!"
"Warning, the blood pressure index of the crew is abnormal!"
"Warning, the crew's thinking is disordered! The stability of the phosphorus atom Posner cluster structure in the crew's brain has suffered a devastating blow!"
...
Qin Guang, who has already sensed the crisis of extinction, issued orders one after another.
"All ships and combat units immediately return to the three-dimensional space! All rapid-fire weapons and equipment start pre-charging! All automatic small combat equipment enter the launch bay in advance! Prepare to release micro-fragmentation bombs!"
This time, the nameless fleet was indeed deeply calculated by the opponent.
The ability of the curvature four-dimensional devouring worm is beyond imagination, and it caught him off guard.
There is no doubt that there must be other enemies in the three-dimensional space who are waiting for it.
In the galactic space, 360,000 large and small human warships appeared out of thin air.
Almost at the same time, brilliant and dazzling artillery fire intertwined into a network.
Outside the space where the nameless fleet was located, there were millions of "planets".
These "planets" were rotating at a very fast speed. One after another, large and small flying objects floated out, densely packed in space, almost like a swarm of locusts, and the number was so large that it was impossible to count.
The mist nebula formed by the locust swarm swept towards the human ships like the tail of a comet.
Fortunately, Qin Guang had already ordered the weapons to be preheated in advance, and the locust swarms coming from all directions just happened to meet the crazy and diffuse human artillery fire.
Small combat units with strong individual combat capabilities have begun patrolling the outer layer of the fleet, intercepting the fish that have escaped the fire coverage like interceptors protecting aircraft carriers.
"Hive giant ship: single body radius km. The interior is a semi-biological structure, highly similar to the spherical battleships in the history of nothingness. The body is dozens of times larger, and the internal energy reaction intensity is tens of thousands of times higher. Main combat arms: semi-biological war bees, with performance close to the improved version of the Folger armor. Each honeycomb giant ship produces 5 million to 10 million war bees per second."
The intelligence analysis provided by the scientific team was quickly delivered to the command center.
Qin Guang and other military commanders were shocked.
"Launch micro-fragmentation bombs! Missiles, fast intelligent shuttles, intelligent war machines, and special forces are all activated! Send three top fighters with fragmentation bombs to approach this hive giant ship separately. Make sure to blow a hole for me! We have to rush out!"
The new command was just issued, and hundreds of millions of long cylindrical things appeared out of thin air in space.
The curvature four-dimensional devouring worm also completed the space jump and chased after it.
From the previous battles in the curvature space, it can be seen that the fragmentation bombs that used to be invincible against any enemy have also lost their magical effect as a killer.
The fragmentation bombs that finally broke out of the encirclement and detonated smoothly did not blow up a hive mothership.
Because some of the Devourers directly crossed the space and appeared on the outer layer of the Hive Mothership.
One Devourer connected mouth to tail, transmitting the explosion impact of the fragmentation bomb directly from the front to the back through the air, and sinking into the depths of the distant universe.
From the battle between the two sides to now, it has only been ten minutes, but Qin Guang has clearly realized that this is the most dangerous moment for the Nameless Fleet so far.
The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and defeat is imminent.
"Everyone, inform everyone that our conventional weapons have become ineffective. Past experience is no longer meaningful. Now we have to start studying the enemy again to find a flaw. Unfreeze all frozen personnel. We must execute the second doomsday procedure."
The so-called second doomsday procedure refers to the fact that when the nameless fleet encounters an enemy interception force that cannot be defeated, all reserve combat power must be released instantly, and everyone must be mobilized.
Five seconds later, every small unit exit on the 360,000 large ships was opened.
A total of more than 30 billion of the latest small intelligent war machines poured out like a tide and began to fight a war of attrition with the semi-biological war bees.
At the same time, many professional fighters in different positions opened the spare machine gun cabin and sat in it, or put on the suction-type close-fitting armor and rushed out of the ship, standing on the hull of the ship, holding a space sniper rifle and turning themselves into human turrets.
The top fighters led by Tong Ling have each led a special operations team and galloped across the battlefield.
Elite fighters can easily gain an advantage when facing war bees, but they have to keep a large number of elusive Devourers from approaching.
So far, humans have not found a way to eliminate Devourers.
Half an hour later, the number of small intelligent war machines has dropped sharply to 23 billion, and nearly 10,000 ships have been lost.
What's more frustrating is that some flying vehicles have tried to open the folding, but they found that these honeycomb giant ships are connected to each other by extremely high-energy terrifying virtual energy beams, forming an invisible net in space, completely blocking the possibility of folding.
"General Qin, if we continue to fight like this, we will be slowly eaten up."
A military staff member in the command center reminded.
He knew that what he said was nonsense. Qin Guang certainly understood the situation, but he just couldn't help saying it.
Qin Guang nodded slightly, "I know."
His eyes were fixed on the other side.
Just two minutes ago, Emerson Cobert, who was urgently transferred from the basic scientific research mission to the military science mission, proposed a new plan.
In light of the current situation, Emerson proposed a solution that could combine the medium jet engines of 6,000 ships into a ring structure. Through precise energy control, these medium engines would eject real energy beams that collide with each other, quickly creating a wormhole similar to a black hole in space.
Emerson couldn't be sure where this wormhole would lead to, but it would definitely allow the fleet to escape from its current predicament.
However, before implementation, a huge amount of calculations must be done to ensure that the operation of the medium jet engines of these 6,000 ships conforms to mathematical laws and produces precise real energy progressive reactions, so that a wormhole can be accurately created instead of creating an unstable black hole to destroy itself.
Moreover, when the engine is ejecting real energy beams, it must not move or be subjected to excessive impact. However,
due to the functional limitations of the fleet's intelligent computer, it will take at least three days to complete the calculations and engine layout.
"Is Zhou Donglai awake?"
At this critical moment, Qin Guang suddenly asked a seemingly nonsensical question.
General Lu, who was in charge of internal logistics, reported immediately and woke up.
"Okay, notify Zhou Donglai and prepare to take over."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Now is the first stage, we must organize a special attack corps to block the enemy's impact outside and create a better environment and conditions for Emerson's calculations. Since someone needs to buy time, we old guys should take the lead. I will be the first commander of the special attack corps. After I die, Zhou Donglai will succeed as the chief commander."
"Okay. I will pass on your ideas as soon as possible. Some of the first-generation soldiers have just woken up and need to adapt to the situation."
"Done within five minutes. Start dispatching in ten minutes. Is that okay?"
"Okay. I'll go too."
"No, Lao Lu, you have to wait a little longer. You have to command the second-stage special attack corps."
