Everyone looked at the command screen, their scalps numb, and they were all startled by the sudden huge insect wave.
The appearance of the Dark insect swarm out of thin air was like stones being dropped on a calm lake. The entire Oryun galaxy became "perilous", and the vast black sea of insects surged toward them. .
"Commander, the scale of the insect swarm ahead reaches: 270 million, the opponent's speed: 5,400 kilometers per second, the insect swarm's flight has grown and it has discovered the phenomenon of space-time energy interference. The interference range reaches 2 million square kilometers..." Thunder No. 1 Fleet, the main ship commanded The room echoed with the synthesized sounds of the flagship brain.
"270 million, the number of insect waves is not large. We are fully capable of fighting."
"Well, the speed of this insect swarm is average. As long as we don't enter their range of influence, we will definitely win."
"Commander, we must not lose our dominance in this war. We can fight around this battlefield..."
…
In the flagship command room, the staff officers spoke nervously to Xie Huiming, the commander-in-chief of Thunder One, and began to speak.
Previously, with the powerful combat effectiveness of "tachyon weapons", humans achieved a one-sided victory in the war against the Darkh Zerg. They finally turned the tide and played a decisive role in the Galactic Alliance's victory over the Darkh Zerg. At the same time, it laid the foundation for mankind's The civilization has become one of the most powerful civilizations in the galaxy.
It can be said that the magical and powerful combat power of the "tachyon weapon" makes everyone very optimistic about defeating the Dark Zerg. Even if they face the last new insect wave, they are confident and fearless.
After hearing the advice from his subordinates, Commander Xie Huiming followed suit and immediately ordered: "Attack the formation, aim at the insect tide ahead, and prepare the tachyon cannon to fire a salvo."
"Follow your orders, Commander!" Flagship Intelligent Brain responded.
Immediately, in space, a thousand third-generation intercontinental ships set up an attack line. The tachyon main gun gathered energy, and the red energy balls shone with a dangerous atmosphere.
With a "swish", a thousand "red balls" suddenly disappeared in the Thunder One Fleet.
Thunder One Fleet, everyone in the army stared directly at the large surveillance screen to determine the outcome of the attack. At the same time, the main fleet stationed in the Burston system also paid close attention to the Thunder One Fleet's main attack this time. The results of the naval gun salvo.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Thunder Fleet, with 5.7 million officers and soldiers on board, was watching this scene at the same time.
Whether the tachyon weapon can continue to exert its power and whether it can severely damage this insect wave depends on success or failure. Everyone's eyes are full of ardent expectations.
Yes, tachyon weapons will definitely be able to severely damage the Dark Zerg again.
Tachyons are a special kind of matter. Ordinary matter: the mass is a real number (the square of the mass is a positive number), the speed is lower than the speed of light, and can never exceed the speed of light upwards; but the tachyon is different, its mass is an imaginary number (the square of the mass is a negative number) ), faster than the speed of light, and can never go down to sub-light speed, which gives it magical special properties.
In Einstein's theory of relativity, it does not prohibit the existence of super-light speed, but only prohibits "exceeding" the speed of light. The former refers to the state where the speed is greater than the speed of light, and the latter refers to the process of accelerating from sub-light speed to super-light speed, that is, : The sub-light speed is always sub-light speed, and the super-light speed is always super-light speed.
Choose "super-light" flight such as curvature navigation. It does not really exceed the speed of light, but travels across space, resulting in exceeding the speed of light. There is an essential difference between the two.
Tachyons are a natural super-light substance. Contrary to ordinary substances, the speed of tachyons is also reduced with the speed of light as the lower limit. That is, if you want to decelerate to the speed of light, you need to inject infinite amounts of energy. Therefore, tachyons The speed of quasi-matter can only approach the speed of light downwards, but can never cross the speed of light downwards and become sub-light speed. Therefore, tachyon-like matter is always faster than the speed of light.
When the genius scientist Zhou Xing discovered the special substance tachyon and turned it into a super weapon that can attack, the combat effectiveness of human civilization suddenly changed qualitatively. If human civilization can continue to develop Going forward, relying on the powerful characteristics of "tachyon weapons", it is only a matter of time to dominate the Milky Way and become the dominant civilization of the Milky Way.
Ever since, everyone was full of expectations for the tachyon gun salvo.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds…
Time passed by minute by second, and on the large holographic screen, only the figure speeding towards the black sea of insects showed no special changes.
"What's going on? It's been 2 minutes. Why is there no attack effect?"
"Did it go wrong?"
"Impossible. The Thunder One aiming system shows that there is no obvious error in this attack. What's more, the target is so obvious, how could it be wrong!"
…
After the salvo of "tachyon weapons" failed to achieve the expected effect, the entire Thunder Fleet was immediately panicked. If the tachyon weapons failed, what else would human civilization have to rely on to win this war
"No, it's definitely not like this!"
"Professor, why does this happen? Why is the tachyon weapon ineffective?"
"What's going on? Could it be that they can really resist tachyon weapons?"
"Could it be caused by the space-time interference force field?"
…
In the Thunder Fleet flagship command room, everyone could not believe this result. Inquiring eyes fell on the faces of several experts and professors in the flagship command room.
"Tachyonic matter appears when Bose strings are quantized. According to the mass-shell relationship of the theory of relativity, it can be seen that the ground state of Bose strings is a pure virtual matter state with mass, and the kinetic energy is much greater than the quantity energy. Therefore, when they encounter When exposed to a material environment with completely opposite properties, their special power will be easily offset. Therefore, I think this insect tide must have defensive energy that is completely opposite to the properties of tachyon weapons." Professor Li Jianwen looked at Zhou Dan, Answered.
"I agree with Professor Li. The vacuum of Bose strings is not stable, which causes tachyons to decay into other things when encountering special environments. This interpretation can be qualitatively explained from the perspective of quantum mechanical wave functions. Mass It is a purely virtual state, and the phase factor in its wave function that originally represents the evolution over time will become the decay behavior describing this state... The ground state is unstable and decay will occur. This concept is sometimes used in modern quantum field theory, Therefore, it can be inferred from this that this insect swarm has a defensive force field that causes the failure of tachyon weapons!" Professor Most added, looking at everyone.
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the flagship command room suddenly froze.
"No, no, Fleet No. 1, continue to attack. The attack will definitely be effective." At this time, an officer stared at the holographic screen and said unwillingly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the large command screen, still holding on to a glimmer of hope for the tachyon weapon.
I saw that the tachyon cannons of the Thunder No. 1 fleet gathered energy again and launched another concentrated fire at the speeding insect swarm.
Everyone stared at the surveillance screen with wide eyes. As time passed and two minutes passed, the hopes that rose in everyone's hearts were once again disappointed. The scene was exactly the same, and the insect wave still did not suffer any reduction in numbers.
This attack confirmed one thing for everyone. Humanity's most powerful tachyon weapon was ineffective against this insect swarm.
Everyone looked at the approaching insect swarm in despair, with despair in their eyes.
"The enemy insect swarm has defensive tachyon weapon energy. Order Thunder One to change the combat method and move closer to the main fleet. The main fleet will attack immediately. It must arrive at the coordinates: T439, Z518, N343, S8192 in 17 hours." At this time. , a majestic female voice suddenly sounded, urging them to put aside the distracting thoughts in their minds and obey habitually.
"Yes, Commander!" All the officers responded in unison, and immediately, everyone carried out the order without any distracting thoughts.
There are only 17 hours, and the main force is still some distance away from the established combat position. Time is very tight. The entire army must enter an emergency assembly state to complete the commander-in-chief's order, otherwise... The military order is like a mountain. At this moment, the entire Thunder Fleet, everyone They all put aside the distracting thoughts of an unlucky start and entered a state of emergency march.
Immediately, the main Thunder force remaining in the Burston galaxy, hundreds of thousands of warships of all sizes, gathered in an emergency, retracting the cage formation, recovering external spaceships, gathering supplies, and preparing for a sudden battle.
Following Zhou Dan's order, the soldiers and officers on the battleship lost their focus on the battlefield ahead. Everyone was busy at their posts.
In the flagship command room, sitting in the commanding position, Zhou Dan frowned and stared at the large holographic screen, silently deducing the direction of the war in his mind.
Although this emergency military operation left the soldiers no time to think, this method only addressed the symptoms but not the root cause. Affected by the failure of the tachyon weapon, the overall morale of the entire army had obviously declined. She urgently needed a victory to save the morale of the soldiers. .
"Commander, the home base has confirmed receipt of this news." At this time, an adjutant walked up to Zhou Dan and reported.
"Yes!" Zhou Dan nodded, glanced at the adjutant, and motioned for him to leave.
"Commander, General Chen wants to speak to you immediately. Please..." the adjutant glanced at Zhou Dan's bare wrist and reminded him with an expression of embarrassment.
"I understand, go down!" Zhou Dan ordered directly.
The most important part of this combat mission is to detect whether the insect swarm has the ability to withstand tachyon weapons. Unexpectedly, the Thunder No. 1 ship completed this task easily. Then, the overall strength of this insect swarm is estimated to be improved to another level. , right now, the base should be very anxious!
"Yes, Commander!" The order was successfully conveyed. The adjutant was relieved and turned around to leave.
Watching his subordinates leave, Zhou Dan hesitated for a moment and dialed the light wrist that kept making noise.
The next second, a holographic image appeared in front of Zhou Dan. Astonishingly, it was General Chen Xiaolin wearing a general uniform with a majestic look on his face.
"Hello, General Chen!" As soon as the video was connected, Zhou Dan immediately greeted General Chen Xiaolin. Although the levels of the two sides were almost the same, General Chen Xiaolin was far superior to her in terms of qualifications, prestige, and military power.
"Hello!" Chen Xiaolin nodded and said hello to Zhou Dan, then with a stern look on her face, she went straight to the point and said: "General Zhou, this new insect wave has many special abilities, and it is also equipped with weapons to resist tachyons. Ability, Baoji Star Base hopes that you will adopt a conservative combat method, do not advance rashly, and wait for reinforcements from the Federation and Alliance."
"I understand that without the important weapon of tachyon weapons, attacking such a huge insect wave is asking for death. Adopting a conservative strategy is our only choice." Zhou Dan nodded, and then asked with concern: "General Chen, I wonder when the reinforcements will arrive? The insect tide has discovered our position, and next, we are likely to face an unlimited attack by the insect tide."
"The Federation and the Alliance have just learned of this news. It will take some time to gather the fleets of other civilizations. It will take about three years to assemble the large forces." General Chen Xiaolin looked at Zhou Dan with a worried look on his face and replied.
Hearing this, Zhou Dan's face darkened slightly.
It took three years to gather the fleets of all civilizations in the galaxy to jointly resist the Dark Zerg. This was already a short period of time. However, next, the Thunder Fleet had to fight this insect wave independently... After the three-year war, after losing speed, With the sub-ship gun as an important weapon, how much will the Thunder Fleet have left by then
For a moment, Zhou Dan felt extremely heavy.
"General, three years is too long. We may have to sacrifice part of the galaxy to lengthen the front line. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to complete this mission!" Zhou Dan pondered for a moment, looked at General Chen Xiaolin and replied.
General Chen Xiaolin nodded in understanding. Extending the front line can effectively reduce the casualties of the fleet. However, extending the front line means allowing the insect tide to expand the scale of its control. On the contrary, it gives the insect tide a huge space for movement. As a result, Increased difficulty in defeating the Darkh Zerg in the future.
"General Chen, the insect tide is now expanding and it is unstoppable! If we insist on stopping it, the casualties will be huge!" Zhou Dan reminded General Chen Xiaolin as he looked at him.
"I know, General Zhou, you can figure it out yourself!" After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xiaolin sighed and nodded.
After a pause, General Chen Xiaolin suddenly changed the subject and said: "General Zhou, your cousin is trying to figure out a way to deal with this insect wave. We need to buy him more time. Please pay attention to safety and don't force yourself too much."
Hearing this, Zhou Dan's eyes lit up and he nodded happily: "General Chen, thank you for reminding me, I understand!"
Upon hearing that Zhou Xing was researching ways to deal with this insect swarm, Zhou Dan suddenly became confident about the future battle situation.
In order to deal with Dark's Zerg cousin, Zhou Xing is probably conducting various powerful weapon experiments at the moment! What will be the interstellar weapon to defeat this insect swarm? At this moment, Zhou Dan was full of expectations for the future. His cousin who was good at creating miracles would never let her down.
