Commanding the large screen, asteroids "came alive" one after another. The gray rock surface cracked. Compound eyes appeared in the huge cracks. Below, thick legs extended out, and a green light suddenly appeared at the tail. , the "small line" suddenly turned and swarmed towards them.
"Yes, it's the Dark Zerg!"
"What's going on? Why is the life detector not responding?"
"It's over, it's over, we have entered the ambush circle of the Dark Zerg."
"Commander, we, what should we do!"
…
Seeing the true appearance of the "asteroid" on the big screen, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they were immediately in chaos.
Various signs have shown that this is a premeditated trap. Liu Zhenhui was shocked and decisively ordered to the flagship Zhi Nao: "Zhi Nao, look for a breakout direction immediately!"
"Commander, due to the interference of unknown space energy, the tunnel shuttle cannot work and cannot travel through the wormhole!" reported the flagship intelligence network.
"I know, you can't escape this trap by sailing at sublight speed?" Liu Zhenhui's face changed slightly and he asked eagerly.
"Yes, Commander, a new insect wave has been discovered! Using ordinary interstellar navigation technology, the chance of escape is infinitely close to 0." Flagship Intelligent Brain replied to Liu Zhenhui's question.
As soon as the flagship smart brain finished speaking, more surveillance pictures appeared on the large command screen. Swarms of insects emerged from all directions, as if they suddenly fell into the nest of insects, with insects everywhere around them.
"What's going on? Why are there so many bugs! Why haven't they been discovered before!"
"Oh God! We've fallen into a bug's lair!"
"These are new insect species, all new insect species, the Darkh Zerg are back!"
"Why is the energy of time and space interfered with? Is it the new ability of this insect swarm? If so, we will be doomed!"
"Damn it, this information must be passed on immediately!"
…
Looking at the picture that appeared on the large command screen, the entire flagship command room was in chaos. Everyone was frightened by the terrifying scale of the insect swarm, and all of them turned pale and became frightened.
Liu Zhenhui glanced at his subordinates with a bitter look on his face, understanding their mood very well. The fleet was now in a desperate situation.
"Why were our detectors unable to detect their existence before? How did you discover them? Did they take the initiative to remove their disguise?" Liu Zhenhui asked the flagship intelligence brain.
"Yes, Commander! They used space energy to conceal themselves and successfully interfered with the work of the life detector. Now, they have canceled their concealment." Flagship Intelligent Brain replied to Liu Zhenhui.
Hearing this, Liu Zhenhui smiled miserably. They were already in the "cage", so of course they didn't need to continue pretending.
"Zhi Nao, try your best to send this news back!" Liu Zhenhui ordered the flagship Zhi Nao. Then, he looked at everyone on the ship and loudly mobilized: "The Dark Zerg has been a threat to mankind for a long time. If it weren't for Qian Qian Thousands of soldiers have sacrificed their lives. The Milky Way has long been invaded by them. These greedy beings will only snatch lives without producing anything. They are locusts and a danger to all intelligent life in the universe. I will never surrender to such an enemy. Brothers, fight! Human beings have no softness. Even if we die, we must let the insects know that we are not easy to mess with!"
After a pause, Liu Zhenhui looked at everyone and shouted hysterically: "Get ready to fight!"
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone roared in unison with renewed energy.
Immediately, the fleet launched a fearless attack on the huge insect tide.
Death in battle is the best fate for soldiers, not to mention that in the face of inhuman enemies like the Dark Zerg, surrender has no effect at all. Therefore, in a desperate situation, the only choice is to kill more bugs.
The insect tide did not despise the tiny enemy. A "bug wave" roared in, instantly overturning the "small boat"-like reconnaissance fleet and then submerging it. The resistance of the reconnaissance fleet failed to cause any waves in the insect tide.
…
Federal Baoji Star, space base.
General Chen Xiaolin frowned, raised her head slightly, and looked straight ahead at the large command screen as big as a movie screen.
On the large holographic screen, a star map was displayed, marked with a large number of annotations, red dots, green circles, white lines, and various military symbols, forming an extremely complex military instruction map.
"Commander, we have lost the positioning signal of the Falcon 27 fleet and are unable to contact them." An officer at the command console suddenly turned his head to look at General Chen Xiaolin and reported.
Hearing this, General Chen Xiaolin's expression darkened slightly, and she asked the other party: "Where was the last place they disappeared? Mark it."
"Understood, General! Their last location was in the Oryun system." The operator responded.
Immediately, a red dot appeared in a corner of the star map.
"In the Oryun Galaxy, some unknown phenomenon must have occurred here. The ordinary fleet should evacuate immediately, increase the scale of exploration by unmanned reconnaissance ships, and be sure to find out the abnormal information." General Chen Xiaolin stared at the big screen. , ordered to the adjutant.
"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant responded and immediately conveyed General Chen Xiaolin's order.
Seeing the scarlet mark at ten o'clock, General Chen Xiaolin felt extremely heavy. From the moment the Alliance fleet disappeared for no reason, an unusual shadow immediately enveloped the entire galaxy. The number of fleets missing near the Oryun system is increasing day by day. No matter whether it is an ordinary fleet or an unmanned reconnaissance fleet, it is impossible to obtain valuable intelligence.
The Oryun Galaxy is like an ever-expanding black hole, constantly devouring the fleets of the Alliance and the Federation. However, they know nothing about the situation in that galaxy. Increasing the search scale of the unmanned reconnaissance fleet is probably the only way to defeat a dog. There is no return.
General Chen Xiaolin frowned, sighed, raised her hand and looked at her wrist, and dialed the contact number that she didn't usually use.
"Beep..." There was a busy tone, and soon, the photon watch projected a holographic image, showing a slightly tired and surprised face.
"General Chen, long time no see. How are you?" Hearty laughter spread through the bare-bone stereo system.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so busy. If there is nothing important, I will not disturb you." General Chen Xiaolin smiled bitterly, looked at Zhou Xing and said frankly.
Having had decades of experience in exploring strange universes with Zhou Xing, General Chen Xiaolin knows his living habits and serious attitude towards scientific research very well, and what he is like when he is busy. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaolin will not easily If you call Zhou Xing, you may not know what kind of major experiment he is conducting now.
Zhou Xing's time was precious, so after a few chats, Chen Xiaolin got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Zhou, something unusual happened here. It is similar to the disappearance of the Federation's First Fleet. The dispatched reconnaissance fleets are all here. One galaxy after another is missing, and the scope of the disappearances tends to expand.”
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned and suppressed the smile on his face: "Then the situation is correct, it is the newly formed Dark insect wave, so many reconnaissance fleets have disappeared, and no valuable information has been found? "
"No, the disappearance of the fleet is very strange. The signal disappeared at the same time without any warning." General Chen Xiaolin looked at Zhou Yu with a depressed face, feeling extremely troubled.
This weird way of disappearing is so terrifying that no news can be spread. The span between galaxies is so large, and the fleet has disappeared without any trace in such a short period of time. They have no way to react.
"I know that this disappearance phenomenon is because the 'tunnel' instruments suffered destructive damage in an instant, so that we were unable to receive their information!" Zhou Xing nodded and confirmed.
"What method caused it? If we can't solve it, we will never be able to understand the enemy's intelligence and curb their expansion." General Chen Xiaolin looked at Zhou Xing expectantly and asked.
Zhou Xing fell silent. Tunnel communication and tunnel shuttle are all technologies involving time and space energy. The insect tide that can affect these two technologies must have "applied technology" in space and time energy, and interfere with it through some means. In the end, a fleet of ships disappeared inexplicably.
"This problem is very difficult. Without discovering the enemy's intelligence, continuing to spy will only cause more unnecessary sacrifices. Pass the relevant data to me. I am thinking of a way. You should stop military operations first!" Zhou Xing looked at General Chen Xiaolin and ordered.
"Understood! Understood! I'll deal with it right away." General Chen Xiaolin's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and said as ordered.
"Well, the tunnel observer failed to detect any abnormalities in this galaxy?" Zhou Xing suddenly frowned and asked a supplementary question.
"No, not at all. We have conducted comprehensive testing and found no abnormal phenomena." General Chen Xiaolin replied quickly.
"Well! Logically speaking, it shouldn't be! According to the relativity of time and space, the force field effect of curved dimensional space... under the same energy density is not enough to change the space, so the tunnel telescope should be able to continue to have an effect!" Listen! After hearing General Chen Xiaolin's answer, Zhou Xing frowned, lost his mind and started mumbling to himself.
Regarding the phenomenon reported by General Chen Xiaolin, Zhou Xing thought for a while. After a while, he was completely absorbed in thinking, completely ignoring the phone call with Chen Xiaolin.
Seeing this, General Chen Xiaolin smiled bitterly and silently hung up the holographic communication.
Zhou Xing is now in a state of full-body thinking and should be able to solve this problem soon! General Chen Xiaolin was in high spirits and thought with great anticipation.
Humanity's home planet - Earth, the city in the sky, the top of civilization, the huge experimental center.
Zhou Xing sat in front of the experimental table and kept swiping his hands on the virtual screen. Based on the fleet battle damage data provided by General Chen Xiaolin, he established a digital model and carried out deduction calculations.
Time passed bit by bit, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xing stopped the movements of his hands, looked at the three-dimensional digital model in the holographic screen silently, and issued an order to Zhou Xiaozhi out of thin air: "Xiaozhi, perform calculations according to this model immediately!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi came up from behind Zhou Xing and responded obediently.
The next second, the three-dimensional data model on the large experimental screen began to beat crazily, and the data stream continued to pour out.
"Boss, according to model deduction, there is no problem with the tunnel observer. It can completely carry out ultra-long-distance observation. Even space-time interference cannot cover such a large area at once." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xinghui's report.
"That's strange. The result is completely opposite to the data you provided. You calculated it correctly, right?" Zhou Xing frowned and looked at Zhou Xiaozhi in confusion.
"Boss, Xiaozhi's calculation model was transformed by you! With such a simple data model, how could I have calculated it wrong, unless the model you built is wrong!" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing with an aggrieved look and slapped him back A rake said.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could the digital model he built himself make mistakes? Just like Zhou Xiaozhi said, the data model established by the aggregation of these data information is not complicated. If there are still errors, then There must be a necessary factor missing.
And this factor is precisely the important factor that prevents the tunnel telescope from detecting the abnormal phenomena of the galaxy.
"Xiaozhi, conduct a compensatory deduction based on the result data, and be sure to find this missing data factor." Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xiaozhi with excitement in his eyes and ordered.
"Understood, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi happily accepted the order. Immediately, the data model on the large holographic screen continued to run crazily, and the annotated data next to the model jumped crazily.
Zhou Xiaozhi's calculation took a little longer this time, but he still listed the results on the large holographic screen within thirty seconds.
"Boss, the results of the deduction are out. The opponent has a 69% chance of having high camouflage ability, a 12% chance of having a 'fuzzy force field' ability, and a 7.2% chance of having a 'stealth' ability..." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reported. road.
"That should be it!" Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction after looking at the result.
However, the next second, Zhou Xing frowned again. This result could be confirmed to be a new type of Dark insect swarm. This insect swarm not only has a highly skilled camouflage method, but also has the ability to interfere with the "tunnel" The capabilities of the equipment, whether it is small tunnel communications or large tunnel shuttles, can affect devices related to time and space. If they also have weapons in the space and time domain, even if their traces are found, it will be difficult to take them down. This insect tide!
The "tunnel" equipment works by "changing" the form of space-time energy. The force that drives the rapid expansion of the universe immediately after the creation of the universe, the repulsive gravity of the "strange" vacuum with extremely negative pressure, and the inflationary state of the universe make " The wormhole can remain "open". If you want to interfere with the "opening" of the wormhole, you must have a high-latitude understanding of the "space-time energy"... The strength of this worm tide may be more terrifying than imagined.
After deducing various possibilities, Zhou Xing's face became solemn.
