Chapter 81
It seems there is no need to think about it.
Qi Heng thought about it, his eyes fell on the screen.
The Erta asteroid belt is located at the edge of the Tianyun galaxy. In addition to the wandering asteroids floating in this area, there are also many meteorites of different sizes. The largest number of the remaining ones are various warship wreckages.
Although I have seen the relevant information that A0 stole from the main brain of the Ikal civilization fleet, the information that A0-02 is constantly sending back is obviously more detailed.
In addition to the mission of destroying this fleet, A0-02 also has another mission, which is to use the fleet's detection equipment to the greatest extent possible to ascertain the current situation within the Tianyun Galaxy. This information and data will be transmitted to A0 for summary so that it can be used in the future when needed.
Ten thousand years ago, the Erta asteroid belt was not as fragmented as it is in the current picture.
As one of the core star systems of the Tianjia civilization, the Tianjia civilization has deployed a variety of star system-level defensive and offensive weapons within this asteroid belt. Furthermore, because the Tianyun Legion, one of the nine major legions, is headquartered in the Tianyun Star System, even though the Tianyun Star System serves as a rear base, it is constantly garrisoned by a fully staffed interstellar fleet.
Even if there is only one fleet of the Tianjia civilization, it is enough to easily destroy all civilizations below level five. Even if it encounters a level six civilization, it can still fight head-on... Once the subsequent support arrives, the counterattack mode can be activated.
Therefore, at that time, even the sixth-level civilizations rarely took the initiative to provoke the bad luck of the Tianjia civilization's fleet.
There is not a single intact starship to be found in the Erta asteroid belt, and there is no trace of those extremely destructive anti-star weapons. They have either been completely destroyed or transported away.
He had invested a lot of money in creating these galaxies beginning with the word "Tian". All the equipment and weapons were at least the standard of a level six civilization, and were the highest technological achievements of the entire Tianjia civilization.
If it had not been destroyed but fallen into the hands of a lower-level civilization, even mastering a little bit of its technology would have been enough for the civilization to surpass its current level... Tsk, if it was really dragged away, it must have been done by those level six civilizations. Other civilizations probably have the intention but not the courage to carry it out.
Erta Asteroid Belt
The central control room on the bridge of the mothership of the Ikal civilization fleet.
Dorne sat in his seat thinking about how much benefit the discovery of the Tianjia civilization's spacecraft would bring him, while the other Ikar people were busy.
Although they traveled back and forth to the Tianyun System twice a year, they still needed to be careful when passing through complex environments to avoid accidents. Concentrated on their work, no one noticed that the cameras inside the mothership were monitoring their every move.
The countdown to leaving the Erta asteroid belt on the screen gradually returned to zero, and the route gradually became empty.
It takes about ten minutes to travel from the Erta asteroid belt to the Tianyun Star hyperspace channel node. This can be said to be the safest journey. As long as you enter the channel node, you can enter the next galaxy in a very short time.
Just when everyone relaxed, A0-02, which had already taken control of the entire fleet, began to carry out its mission.
It fed back false data to the technicians staring at the screen, secretly changing the sailing direction of the entire fleet, and the entire process did not attract the attention of any technicians.
The countdown on the screen, which served as the flight timer, was deliberately slowed down, and the first ten minutes passed.
The navigator sitting in front of the console stared at the picture on the screen and then looked at the time, a look of confusion on his face.
Why did it feel like this time was taking so much longer? He glanced down at the time on his laptop. Only seven minutes had passed... Was it just an illusion? There were still three minutes left...
——A0-02 has control over all equipment, and it certainly would not miss the portable optical computers of the Ikal people on the starship.
But even so, the time that can be delayed is limited.
Three minutes later.
...Something is wrong. The time has come, but why haven't I seen the hyperspace channel node that should appear at the correct coordinates?
The navigator stood up suddenly, and because of the large amplitude of the movement, he accidentally kicked the control console with a loud bang.
His actions attracted the attention of everyone in the central control room, and everyone looked at him at once.
Dorn, startled, looked over, frowned slightly, and said, "What's going on?"
"Major General, something happened."
When Dorn heard this, his expression hardened: "Speak clearly."
"Yes." The navigator stated his discovery.
"It only takes ten minutes to get from the Erta asteroid belt to the wormhole node. Even if there is a delay, it shouldn't be more than three minutes."
"According to the original schedule, we have already arrived at the node. The main brain will remind us to prepare to enter hyperspace navigation..." The navigator said while trying to operate the console to locate the current position of the fleet, but no matter how he operated, the mothership's main brain did not respond.
He turned pale. This was the worst possible situation.
Dawn was listening, and when he saw that he had fallen silent, he said, "Why don't you say anything?"
The navigator turned to face Dorn, his voice a little erratic: "Major General, the mothership's system is malfunctioning. No matter how I adjust it, it's not responding."
His words attracted the attention of other technicians, and they lowered their heads and began to check the content belonging to their own section.
"How is that possible? We are still moving at full speed, aren't we..." The person who spoke suddenly fell silent. He stared in amazement at the warning that popped up on the screen in front of him.
[The operation permission is invalid, and no operation will be performed.]
The bright red 'X' kept flickering, and no matter how many times he swiped his permission card and unlock password, it wouldn't disappear.
"Unable to operate..."
"I'm here too."
"Me too."
"Is there something wrong with the main brain? I called the main brain... but the main brain didn't respond..."
The sounds that came one after another made Dorn's face darker and darker. Although he didn't know what happened, it was a fact that the mothership system had lost control.
"Can we contact other ships now? And find out for me immediately what is going on and why this happened." Dorn walked behind the information officer in charge of the fleet's information technology and stared at him.
"Trying to make contact... Contact failed. Our communication channel is locked, and we cannot get in touch with other starships." The information officer's forehead was covered with sweat. His hands were constantly operating the panel in front of him, but his face became more and more heavy.
"...No, it's absolutely impossible."
The information officer lowered his hand dejectedly, not daring to breathe as he spoke tremblingly, "Major General, our mothership's systems have most likely been hacked. We've completely lost control of the mainframe."
"They're very powerful. Their blockade system is far more technologically advanced than ours." Fear flashed in his eyes as he spoke. "It's very likely the technology of a Level 5 civilization..."
"Keep trying." Dorn's face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The star region within the Lost Sector lacks access to the interstellar network… not that there's no network at all, but the signal band that does exist belongs to the Star Alliance, established by the Mora civilization. With the exception of a few civilizations that are members of the Star Alliance Council, no other civilizations can use it.
It would be strange if ordinary forces could crack the information technology of a level six civilization, and even if they could, it would be impossible for them to use it on the Ikar civilization, a mere level four civilization.
The only possibility is that the invader had invaded the mothership through other means and then left a program to control the main brain system.
Dorn could think of this, and as a professional practitioner in the field of information technology, the information officer could naturally think of it as well.
As the person with the best information technology in the fleet, the information officer knew that it would be difficult to do anything under the suppression of the information technology level. Unless the other party took the initiative to expose themselves, it would be impossible to establish contact, let alone touch the other party's tail.
But since the major general had spoken, what else could he do? He had to do it.
Dorn thought differently from the information officer. The mastermind behind the fleet's control was either an enemy of the Ikal civilization, or was after the things they were escorting this time.
If they don't even try to contact each other, the best outcome that awaits them is probably death.
Dorne didn't think of Tianyun Star at all, but instead thought of the spaceship that suddenly appeared with the symbol of Tianjia civilization... He fell into deep thought. It was not impossible that the spaceship had invaded the mothership's main brain. After all, although it was only a small spaceship, it contained the crystallization of the sixth-level civilization's technology.
But the spaceship appeared and disappeared in just one minute, so it might have been done by the other party, but to be honest, the possibility is not very high.
Dorn frowned, but decided to give it a try.
He patted the information officer's shoulder and whispered a few words to him.
At this time, A0-02 was leading the entire fleet towards the direction of the Tianyu Galaxy.
The data given by my boss A0 only covers the interior of the Tianyun Galaxy, and some of it was supplemented by myself this time. What awaits me after I leave the Tianyun Galaxy is unknown.
Because the simulation range of [Between Time] is only the Tianyun Galaxy, Qi Heng does not know much about the Tianyu Galaxy and the Lost Star Zone.
The only intelligence we know comes from the information obtained from their database after invading the main brain of the Ikal civilization fleet mothership during [time].
It’s a pity that there is not much information about the Tianyu Galaxy in the database. The only point emphasized is that the Tianyu Galaxy is very dangerous and you should not approach it without the permission of the Star Alliance.
Under Dorn's instructions, the information officer launched a suicide attack on the mothership's main brain, now A0-02. This behavior of continuously pouring large amounts of junk data from the same port finally led to a counterattack from A0-02.
A0-02 directly locks the data port and suppresses the junk data.
"There's a response," the information officer said.
"I know you can hear it." Dorn said, but did not get the expected response.
There was silence in the control room, and only the sound of suppressed breathing could be heard.
A0-02 heard Dorn's voice, but it made no move to respond.
Its internal procedures had already been set up for what kind of reaction, when and what to do in the mission of destroying the Ikal fleet.
Could it be that I guessed wrong, and the thing that invaded the system was just a rigid program...
No, a level-four civilization can create strong artificial intelligence. There is no reason to judge that a program with level-five civilization technology would not even have a simple response.
——It can only be that 'it' doesn't want to respond.
