Chapter 088
Once you enter warp speed, it is impossible to be attacked. Unless there are technological means to break through the space barriers.
At the same time, in this subspace, external communications cannot be used. Fortunately, Scott had already sent their situation to the rescue team when he started the warp speed.
As for whether the rescue army would encounter the Blade Bugs, a group of advanced dimensional Zerg, when they arrived at the coordinates of Scott and his warship, Scott didn't know for the time being. They have already sent the information, and our side must be prepared after receiving the message. Under normal circumstances, there should be no problem.
Although this experiment was suddenly attacked by the dimensional Zerg, the results were perfect at the beginning. Even the results of the current warp speed tests are close to the expectations of these technicians.
Scott sat in the main control position on the bridge, watching the technicians from the Condemnation Corps headquarters inside the battleship recording various data in an orderly manner. The excitement you can see on their faces indicates that the test results should be very satisfying.
Warp travel generally does not last too long. To date, the longest warp travel time within the Federation is 45 minutes.
This time is almost the limit of the battleship. If it continues any longer, the super alloy shell of the battleship will not be able to withstand the energy fluctuations in the subspace.
However, this time the new program not only surprised the technicians in terms of battleship control, but what shocked them even more was the magical energy shield that appeared on the periphery when warp speed navigation was activated.
When testing the instrument, the focus was on speed and the energy shield was ignored. But now, after manually recording the observation data, it was discovered that this energy shield, which even Wu Zimo himself did not know how to appear, could not only stop those cosmic insects that wanted to pounce on the warship.
When a battleship is sailing in the subspace, it can actually protect the hull of the battleship. It's like putting a protective shell on the outside of a battleship to prevent it from being attacked by energy fluctuations in the subspace.
This magical energy shield is also very interesting. It will not appear if a battleship is activated. The energy shield will only appear when five or more warships activate this new control program at the same time, and the more warships there are, the stronger the defense of the energy shield will be.
When that person casually glanced at the strange data appearing on the instrument, he discovered the magical power of this energy shield after further investigation.
He stared at the data table in front of him with an expression of disbelief. It was a companion who was passing by and saw that this guy dared to be dazed at such a time, so he patted him down with one hand to bring the shocked young technician back to his senses.
"You kid, you don't even notice what time it is and you still dare to be in a daze. Be careful that the Marshal finds out that you are slacking off."
The slightly older technician, of course, meant well, and lowered his voice to warn his companion who dared to be in a daze at such a time. However, the young technician, who had come to his senses, did not hear the older man's warning at all. Instead, he screamed and ran directly to the marshal with the data sheet in his hand.
The older technician saw the boy running towards the marshal with a data sheet like a madman, and muttered quietly: "Did I knock this boy silly?"
Of course not. Although the brain is very fragile, it is impossible to be knocked stupid so easily because it is protected by a layer of skull.
The young technician said something to the marshal, and the cold expression on the marshal's face relaxed a little. It didn't take long for these technicians to find out what shocking event had happened that could have alarmed the icy-faced Marshal Alman.
"You said there's an energy shield outside the battleship?"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Although it was exciting to face his idol directly, as long as he thought about what he had just discovered, his idol and everything else had to stand aside!
Yes, that’s the reality for those working in technology.
The young technician excitedly handed the data sheet in his hand to Scott, and then pointed to one row of data that had been very stable and explained.
"Normally, when a warship is traveling at warp speed, the superalloy shell on the surface will be damaged by the energy fluctuations in the subspace. But look, Marshal, this is the data of the warship's shell. It is very stable and has not been affected by the energy waves in the subspace outside at all."
Scott looked down at the data on the spreadsheet. Although he was not a technician, he could understand all the data of the battleship. The situation shown in the data is exactly as the young technician said.
"We can't be sure it's because of the energy shield outside."
When starting the warp speed, Scott did find that all the warships were covered with a special layer. After calculations by Wu Zimo and Master Haili, they concluded that this special thing, the reason why the new control program can make the speed of the battleship fleet soar so fast, is because of the strange energy shield outside.
So originally everyone thought that this strange energy shield was only used to speed up, but now it seems that its function is even more powerful.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Scott’s eyes became more and more profound. The young technician did not notice the change in the Marshal's eyes at all, and continued to excitedly present the evidence he had discovered.
"Marshal, do you still remember those space bugs? They wanted to pounce on our warships, but they were blocked by the energy shield outside!"
Indeed, if it were not the case, it would not be so easy for their fleet to enter warp speed.
Of course, this evidence cannot fully prove that the strange energy shield outside is really that powerful, but it is already very exciting.
If the energy shield outside is really that powerful, it can even prevent energy fluctuations within the subspace. If they extract this energy shield separately and make it into a separate battleship energy shield, their warships won't have to worry about the dimensional Zerg anymore!
Moreover, this energy shield is not only suitable for the military, but also has greater uses among civilians. You have to know that civilian spaceships are not as luxurious as warships. Their outer shells can be made entirely of superalloys. With this energy shield, civilian spaceships don't have to be afraid even if they encounter a meteorite swarm.
The usefulness of the new energy shield, not to mention the technician, Scott understands its importance even better.
The thoughtful Marshal felt his heart soften as he thought about how Wu Zimo had casually thrown such a powerful thing to him while he was probably still sleeping soundly in the hibernation capsule.
He really needs to keep an eye on such a young man with such magical powers, otherwise if he is taken away by others or bullied, he will be the one who will be heartbroken.
Maybe Scott hasn't figured out what his feelings for Wu Zimo are, but he knows that the more he knows about Wu Zimo's abilities, the more heartbroken he is.
Don't be fooled by the peaceful appearance of the Federation. There are many dangers inside. Wu Zimo, an orphan with no identity or background, is simply a defenseless little animal in front of those greedy people who are as fierce as wolves and tigers. He may be eaten up by them at any time.
Scott waved his hand to signal the young technician to continue paying attention to the various data of the battleship itself, as well as the matter about the new energy shield, and not to spread it for the time being.
The young technician, who had finally calmed down after his excitement, of course understood the implied meaning of the marshal's order. He immediately put on a serious expression and assured the marshal, "I understand the importance of the new energy shield and will not spread it to others. But Marshal, my companions..."
Scott doesn't want the story to be spread outside because he doesn't want outsiders to know. Of course, there is no problem within the organization.
Not to mention that the technician was still needed to collect data, so the marshal just nodded, and the young technician jumped up excitedly like a monkey, saluted Scott, and immediately ran back to his friends to share this exciting thing.
"Xiao Ming, are you telling the truth?" One of the technicians, who was about the same age, stared at his companion with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. Look, this is the data record. And don't call me Xiao Ming anymore, you idiot!"
"You are the rhubarb, your whole family is rhubarb!"
“…”
The two youngest guys in the technical team started making trouble again, but no one had time to take care of them. The older technicians all gathered together and looked at the data sheets in their hands. Just as Xiao Ming said, the eyes of the technicians looking at the data began to light up.
This experimental test was inherently very important and had far-reaching consequences. But now it seems that there is really no biggest surprise, only more surprises.
If this new type of energy shield can be extracted and developed successfully on its own, the impact will be no less than the successful testing of this new program.
"Ah, the Marshal is so lucky."
Suddenly, a young voice full of infinite emotion reached the ears of all the technicians. The one who expressed such emotion was none other than Da Huang, who no longer quarreled with Xiao Ming.
"……right."
"Yeah."
The small circle of technicians was silent for a moment because of this sentiment, and then all showed expressions of recognition.
As for why the Marshal is so lucky, they just need to understand it in their hearts and there is no need to say it directly.
Chapter 089
At the beginning, no one knew that the magical energy shield on the outside could also protect the battleship's hull from being damaged by the energy waves inside when it traveled at warp speed into the subspace. The sailing time required for the battleship to reach the destination coordinate point selected at the beginning is not long.
About fifteen minutes later, a total of ten warships appeared in an unfamiliar star field in a twisting state.
"The warp navigation system has stopped." The soldier in charge of driving the battleship reported to the marshal immediately, and then extracted the star map of the coordinate point where their battleship was currently located.
Seeing that the battleship fleet had arrived at the designated coordinate point within the specified time as expected, the soldier in charge of driving the battleship could not hide his excitement under his serious expression.
It took only fifteen minutes to reach a place that used to take almost two hours to reach. The speed increase is indeed astonishingly fast!
Scott nodded to the soldier who was trying hard to suppress his excitement and turned his gaze to the technician. Seeing that the group of technicians became even busier after the warp speed navigation ended, he did not say a word to disturb them while they were working.
After leaving the subspace, external communications finally returned to normal. The portraits of the leaders of the remaining nine warships immediately appeared on the largest screen on the bridge.
Without waiting for Scott to speak, Rocard saw Scott's head appear on his screen and immediately said excitedly: "Scott, did you find it?"
Rocard's question was rambling, but Scott knew what Rocard wanted to ask.
None of the technicians who are able to work in the headquarters of the Condemnation Legion are fools. Maybe they didn't notice the magic of the energy shield outside at the beginning, but if they still couldn't discover it after fifteen minutes, Scott would have doubted the reaction ability of his subordinates.
Rocard saw that Scott didn't respond to him, but it didn't dampen his excitement at all. He continued to say to Scott: "Energy shield! A new type of energy shield!"
In fact, it was not only the technicians on Rokar's battleship who discovered the existence of the energy shield. The technicians on the other eight battleships also discovered that the outer energy shield could actually block the attack of energy waves in the subspace.
However, before they had the chance to report their discovery to the marshal, they were beaten to it by the adjutant Rocard.
So they could only maintain a calm expression as if a soldier was about to collapse in front of them and watch the adjutant Rocard talking to the marshal about the energy shield with gestures and gestures, while trying hard to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
We must not embarrass ourselves in front of the Marshal like Adjutant Rocard did!
It's normal to be excited, but dancing and gesticulating is really embarrassing for them as the boss. So let's leave this difficult task to Adjutant Rocard.
"I know."
Rocard's excited voice was transmitted to Scott's ears through the signal, which made him want to beat up the noisy guy even more than hearing his own voice. However, Scott also understood the other party's excitement, because his expression also froze when he heard about the new energy shield just now.
"Jill, contact Colonel Vida and ask him whether his vanguard regiment has engaged in a battle with the group of blade bugs."
Jill is one of the persons in charge of the other eight warships. Originally, this job was given to Rocard, but seeing Rocard's excited expression, it is better not to let him come out and embarrass himself.
"Yes, Marshal."
After receiving the order, Jill immediately contacted Vida and the others.
Colonel Vida is the commander of a vanguard regiment under the Condemnation Legion that was contacted earlier and came to provide support.
That regiment is called the Vanguard Regiment. Different from the vanguard squad like Dali, this squad is more mobile and is responsible for various difficult tasks. Of course, when we receive orders, we will also cooperate with the legion to carry out the mission.
The number of people in a team like the Vanguard Regiment is at least dozens of times that of a squad, and they are mostly stationed in a stronghold within the dimensional Zerg front. As long as a swarm of dimensional Zerg is discovered or a war breaks out with them, they are among the first soldiers to go to the battlefield.
Naming his team "Vanguard" is a declaration of their strength to all the people in the Interstellar Federation.
The military merits of Colonel Vida, the supreme commander of the Vanguard Regiment, were actually enough for him to be promoted to major general long ago. However, he did not want to leave the Vanguard Regiment that he had built, so he remained at the rank of colonel and did not receive any promotion.
Scott and Rocard have already planned to upgrade the legion rank of the Vanguard Regiment.
By upgrading one level, not only can more team members be recruited, but the commander's rank can also be upgraded by one level. In this way, Vida, a soldier who has made countless contributions to the Federation, can have a rank that matches his efforts without leaving the Vanguard Regiment.
To upgrade the level of the Legion, even if Scott is the highest leader of the Condemnation Legion, he cannot do whatever he wants. This needs to be approved by the marshals of the three legions and the president's approval. The report was submitted a few days ago, and it seems there won't be any surprises.
The star field where Scott and his team encountered the high-dimensional Zerg this time happened to be within the area of responsibility of the Vanguard Regiment. If they could make great contributions again this time, it would be easier for them to upgrade their levels.
Colonel Vida of the Vanguard Regiment actually received internal information and knew that the marshal was helping him upgrade the legion's level. He was very grateful for the marshal's help. Therefore, as soon as he received the news from the Marshal, he immediately took his vanguard members to the coordinates of the Marshal's battleship as quickly as possible.
On the way, we learned that the group of higher-dimensional Zerg were actually Blade Zergs, and when they were discovered, they were already so close to the Marshal's fleet. When Colonel Vader received this news, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he finally received the news that the Marshal and his men had entered warp speed and perfectly avoided the attacks of the space worms and blade worms.
Knowing that the Marshal and his men had entered warp speed, Colonel Vader finally felt relieved. It would be even more impossible for him to let go of those dimensional Zergs that dared to appear in the star field he was responsible for, even if they were a group of high-level dimensional Zergs.
"Brothers! This time our opponents are a group of high-level Zerg Blade Bugs! Are you afraid?"
"Hahaha, boss, what you're asking is nonsense! We're not afraid of a thing!"
"That's right, how could we be afraid!"
"That's right, let those little bugs who dare to run wild on our territory know how powerful we are."
"Chop them into pieces!"
The members of the Vanguard Corps are very powerful, but you can tell by looking at the way they speak. Most of them are a bunch of military ruffians, so only the boss Vida can control this group of old foxes.
Vida looked at his subordinates, all of whom were excited and ready to fight a big battle. His expression was similar. He didn't think at all that they were about to face a group of ferocious blade bugs.
After the vanguard arrived, the group of blade bugs did not leave. Maybe they already knew that new prey was coming their way, so they were waiting there.
Although they got a very delicious food, new ones appeared and they had to tear the weak humans that came over to pieces in order to appease their anger.
Therefore, after encountering this group of blade bugs, the battle of the Vanguard Regiment became more intense than ever before.
The blazing flames continued to bloom in the dark universe, and strangely colored liquids, limbs, and bright red blood of humans were scattered all over the vast cosmic battlefield.
This is the battlefield between humans and dimensional Zerg. It's either you die or I die.
This battle lasted for a full hour, and it was only with the support of another legion that the battle ended quickly.
The strength of the higher-dimensional Zerg once again made the people of the Federation understand why they could become the common enemy of all intelligent life in the universe.
Dimensional Zerg are really strong!
When Scott and his men left the subspace, they also received news from Colonel Vader, and learned that they were still fighting and could only ask for details after the war.
Although their battleship team still has the combat capability to join the battlefield, the continuous warp speed navigation will have an impact on the power system of the battleship. Especially since their main control program is still new and in the testing phase, Scott doesn't dare to take everyone's life lightly.
They could only wait quietly. There happened to be a natural planet with suitable air not far from their coordinate point, which could provide a place for all the people on the ten warships to rest.
Under the marshal's command, ten warships methodically broke through the planet's atmosphere and chose a very vast plain as the landing site.
This planet has a high oxygen content, a suitable temperature, and a very rich natural environment. Originally, the Federation wanted to develop this place as a habitable planet, but they discovered that there were already native intelligent creatures on this planet.
Although we cannot say that those creatures that have awakened their spiritual intelligence are intelligent creatures. However, there is a convention in the universe that higher-level civilizations cannot invade or enslave lower-level civilizations. If discovered, they will face sanctions from other high-level civilizations.
This convention is to protect the development of primitive civilizations. Although this planet strictly speaking is not a place where primitive civilization has appeared, the Federation is not like its neighbor the Mora Empire, which wants to occupy everything. Of course, another reason is that this place is very remote.
Although the environment is good, it takes at least a month for civil aviation to reach here from the capital star.
It feels like a waste of time to come here for tourism, let alone live here all year round. The star network is connected, but other supporting facilities are very inconvenient.
Therefore, this planet was marked by the Federation as a tourist planet rather than a residential planet.
