This is the heartland of the Milky Way.
What is the most extreme environment in the universe? Not stellar cores: which are as comfortable as hot springs for the universal "extreme metric"; nor the surfaces of black holes, which, though all-consuming, are not on a grand scale; nor star-forming clouds, though It is full of energy and activity, but there are always quiet gaps. What can be called the extreme environment of the universe is actually the most brilliant galaxy nucleus—it is magnificent and brilliant, but it is an absolute dead zone: at least for those civilizations that have just stepped into the universe.
The galaxy we landed in has a large-sized central core. Within this area with a radius of 1.1 light-years, there are death vortexes everywhere, and amazing masses are compressed within this radius of 1.1 light-years. Its core forms a supermassive and ancient black hole. Outside the event horizon of this black hole, on the dividing line of the "safe distance" that cannot be captured by the black hole, the bright and highly active original matter is compressed into a dense "cloud shell". And continuously stimulate intense gamma rays and various ionizing rays, intense energy release and matter flow cause everything in this area to be thrown outward, and push everything outside the central core, highly active matter and Collisions, reactions, and fusions of low-activity matter, the radiant light and jets of matter released (the main component is hydrogen, and a very small amount of helium reacted in the jets) extend to 15,000 light-years away So much so that looking at this area from deep space, the center of the Milky Way is like a hazy silver giant egg lying there.
Within a light-year range of the central core, it will be disturbed by the black hole, although this environment cannot have much impact on the imperial starship. But it's not a good place to fight: it's true for both sides, so let's move our attention outward and see what's going on outside this core.
If you leave this area, you will enter the expansion area. The deadly gravity of the black hole is only effective within its horizon. Outside the horizon, its gravity can only be as "soft" as that of conventional celestial bodies. In this area, there are at least thirty Unprecedented gigantic stars are rapidly passing their short and glorious lifetimes, and the smallest of these gigantic stars have a mass a thousand times that of the sun, and they are born in the center of a material-rich galaxy. The body is bloated, the reaction is violent, and a large amount of gaseous matter ejected from the surface forms a cloud cluster tens of thousands of times larger than the star itself. Every space entity here is young and will soon grow old. The inherently huge mass quickly decomposes into stellar debris with heavy elements exceeding the standard, and then under the impact of the explosion and the blowing of the galactic hydrogen jet, it turns into star fragments rushing to the edge of the Milky Way, and newborn stars replace them s position. As for the corpses of those stars. After hundreds of millions or even billions of years, they will finally pause and become a golden necklace around the neck of some civilized creature. The iron crown on the forehead of a certain tribal chief is placed on the booth of the palace or museum. In the flashing of the spotlight, it is endowed with a history and stories that are meaningless to them. Watching the deeds of these eons-old fragments of stars, dazzled by the feeble gleam of gold and other heavy elements—a gleam less than a billionth of what I see before my eyes.
Standing on the bridge with Lin Xue and others, the cradle of the Milky Way is in front of us. It is so huge and brilliant. It is inadvertently dazzling. It is said that in an ordinary star-forming nest with relatively loose matter, there may even be thousands of young stars crowded together, but that place is definitely not as "enthusiastic" as the center of the Milky Way, and the matter density and reaction intensity of the two are not the same And language, of course, the gravitational environment is also very different. Spaceships made by ordinary civilizations will probably be torn to pieces no matter which environment they enter, but I guess here. They will be torn into smaller pieces.
Qianqian touched my arm, and the magnificent space environment in front of her made her sigh: "It's really bright and dazzling."
I nodded: "Well, where the blind dog's eyes are - my eyes are sore."
"Are we really going to fight here? Can't see anything."
"It's okay. As long as the radar can see it, anyway, it's a war beyond visual range..."
Lin Xue poked the miniature Madison in the palm of her hand, and was dumbfounded when she heard the words: "Seeing this situation, are you discussing this?"
"Otherwise?" Qianqian and I asked in unison.
Missy: "... Forget it, I shouldn't have any expectations of you two living treasures."
"Most worlds are similar in the process of star production," Lilina said, wearing a pair of sunglasses that can cover half of her face, "This is the star-making mode with the shortest known process and the highest cycle rate. All kinds of noise and interference generated in this environment are very strong, and it is quite clever for the Melovas to use this environment to gather their troops."
The fleet is now assembled in the material expansion zone of the galactic center. Although it has not entered the central core, it is still dangerous here. The tug-of-war between gravity and matter jets has caused deadly dark tides everywhere in this zone, but it is 0.14 light-years away A giant star that is violently active has marked a relatively stable "shadow area" for the fleet, and we can save a little energy that was originally used to maintain the attitude of the battleship. This energy may not be important, but for the efficient and accurate Xiling As far as the apostles are concerned, any wasteful behavior will not be forgiven. At the same time, with the help of the ionizing radiation released by this star, the fleet disguised itself as an undercurrent that would not attract attention. The Melovas have not yet discovered them. Such a huge number of scourges have gathered around the periphery of the fleet. Hundreds of Eternal-class motherships are already on standby in these bright clouds, the main guns are charged, and all the assault spaceships are in a transition critical state, only waiting for an order from the general flagship.
"Wait a little longer... Their teleportation is not over yet... Now that they are here, we need to keep a few more."
There was a faint white light in Lin Xue's eyes. She didn't look at the combat star map, but while teasing the little Mai Diwen in her hand, she said seemingly casually, how many starships the Melovas will gather? Confidential, but to the Prophet. Everything has long been a transparent secret. Under Lin Xue's reminder, the fleet is still standing still.
But the time for the general attack is approaching.
The Imperial fleet is now concealed behind a violent jet of hydrogen. This jet of hydrogen comes from the center of the galaxy and is millions of kilometers wide. The difference is the jumping point for the Melovas. They also chose the "calm area" marked by the giant star 0.14 light-years away as the jump point, and probably used the gravity of this giant star to calibrate their jump. In addition, thousands of huge Melova starships have been gathered, as well as the large-scale escort fleet brought by these starships. Based on previously obtained information. Those pale golden battleships that are almost as huge as the Eternal class are the "General Class Aircraft Carrier" of the Merova people, and they are the enemy's main spaceship. This is a spaceship that can deliver a huge number of drones and is also equipped with powerful main guns. Their design ideas are probably influenced by the imperial style. In the previous raid on the enemy's border military nodes, we were able to determine The main guns of these spaceships are almost comparable to the one-third of the strength of the "Galaxy", but the fire control technology and main gun cooling technology of the Merovas are obviously not in place. Drones - those annoying things are literally swarms of small jump missiles. So this time we brought a large number of air defense frigates, just to restrain the general-class aircraft carrier of the Melova people.
When the last wave of general-class aircraft carriers of the Melovas slowly emerged from the "dark area" in the center of the jump point. The light in Lin Xue's eyes flickered slightly, and she swung her arms vigorously: "The whole ship. Fire at will! Send a space bomb!"
In an instant, the eternal formation, which had been preparing for a long time, fired at full force, and the dazzling torrent of psionic energy was several times more brilliant than the bright clouds in space, as if to dim the center of the galaxy. At the same time, The ejection bays of hundreds of heavy bombers opened one after another, and capsule bombs surrounded by blue light disappeared into the space cracks in front of the ejection bays. The information priority of psionic energy is higher than that of conventional matter in the world, so it has infinite high speed, and it will come immediately. The huge bomb released by the heavy bomber was running outside the world, and it also ignored the distance of twelve light minutes, and arrived at the sky above the Melova fleet almost at the same time as the psionic bombardment. After all, the Merova regular army still has the background of being the minion of the empire. After knowing that they are going to fight against the imperial fleet, they at least know to use giant shield-shaped spaceships to protect the fleet around the fleet at all times: because the Xiling army's attacks have always been Suddenly and swiftly. On the periphery of the Melova fleet, within the spherical shell-shaped space, there were originally a large number of flat-spherical medium-sized spaceships. These spaceships turned out to be their joint shield generators. Our army's first wave of artillery bombarded this joint shield, and a considerable part of it was blocked-it seems that the Merova people learned from the old empire. There are quite a lot of things, and the shield technology is not uncommon. But the joint shield is a very high-end gadget, and they are very skilled at copying it.
But after all, it was a counterfeit product. A round of Xinghe salvo had already caused this seemingly thick shield to flicker violently, and the jump bomb that hit it almost at the same time finally tore a big hole in this shield. The biggest feature of the joint shield is that it does not only have two states of "complete" and "dissipated" like the conventional shield. The conventional shield does not have the setting of "wound". It either remains intact or disappears completely. But the joint shield is different, like solid armor, it will have a regional vacuum zone (think ozone layer hole) due to localized strength drops. When the vacuum zone appeared, the gravitational well generator originally protected by the joint shield had to be exposed to the next torrent of psionic energy, and the continuous star river bombardment immediately destroyed the gravitational well protection circle of the Melovas— Although it was only temporary, this moment was enough.
The other half of the heavy bombers followed closely behind and fired the second batch of "munitions". This time, they were not space bombs, but one-time transmission blockers.
This is a kind of "bomb" that contains a set of high-intensity gravitational well generators and a set of interference equipment. They are dedicated to destroying the space channel that is opening. At the very center, a violently oscillating interference signal was released, and the coordinates of the entire space there were confused, and the consequences caused were devastating.
The last batch of general-class aircraft carriers that were about to be materialized began to distort, deform, and be smashed into countless small pieces under the disordered space coordinates. If you get close enough, you can even see the Melovas split in half right down the middle. They turned into grotesque slender strips of flesh, their bodies shattered by wrong coordinates, yet they bled and suffered no pain, and are even briefly alive now: Before the space collapsed, these disordered coordinates were still connected in higher dimensions together, so the shattering you see is like seeing human viscera in 3D from 4D, or the middle of a 2D image from 3D, but with those one-time disruptors shutting down, all the chaos None of the coordinates will be fixed. These split things will fall back from the high dimension to the three-dimensional world, and truly become a pool of fragments. The captains of these general-class aircraft carriers can still think, they realized in horror what kind of weapon they were attacked by, and frantically called the rear base to stop the transmission, but it was too late, the clock of the transmission blocker had reached the end , the coordinate interference system was shut down, and the gravitational well also failed, and the last fragments of these general-class aircraft carriers were shot to the center of the Melova fleet. Then there was a series of big explosions.
Sivis pulled out her command knife, and the power of Storm Commander instantly covered the entire imperial fleet: "The second echelon attack begins. Don't keep firepower, in the name of the emperor, don't leave anyone alive!!"
More artillery fire and more jump warheads began to pour out, instantly crossing the hydrogen jet area between the two armies, bombarding the Merovas who had just reacted, and the heavy assault ship as the vanguard, The rest of the assault ships and individual fighters followed up, and the spaceships responsible for the assault entered the jumping state one after another. Their task was to tear apart the joint shield of the Melovas at close range and on the flanks. If possible, try to destroy the enemy's gravitational well generator, we can once again drop a round of superheavy bombs inside the enemy position. The formation of the Melova people was obviously chaotic after the first wave of strong attacks. However, after all, they are the former trump card servants and have been influenced by the old imperial military thinking for a long time. Their fighting quality is indeed not low. At this time, the formation has been adjusted and the joint shield has been re-opened. Facing the second round of artillery fire from the Imperial Army, the Melovans calmly organized a counterattack despite the precarious shield.
But no matter how strong their counterattacks are, the battle situation is still tilting in favor of our army: the overall combat effectiveness of the imperial fleet itself is higher than that of the Melovas. If they could take the lead, they might still be able to fight against the Imperial Army by virtue of their numerical advantage, but now they don't even have the lead, and their numerical advantage has been pulled down a lot due to the big explosions that occurred during the last wave of jumps. According to the development of this situation, it seems that the complete annihilation of the Merova people is only a matter of time.
"Wood, do you feel that something is wrong?" Lin Xue stood on the officer's seat with her arms folded. Ding Dong and Little Crow held her shoulders one by one, like two symmetrically distributed epaulets. The latter seemed to know that fighting is very serious. Although I don't understand the matter, I still calm down honestly and watch us talk with a leek in my arms.
"It's really not right," I nodded, looking at the thing I've been holding in my hand until now: it's a sky-blue irregular crystal with a glow of energy on its surface, and Sandora's breath emanates from the crystal, as if She stood beside her personally: This is a resonating crystal, made of the special crystal material of Jingfeng planet, and now, it is the material carrier for the extension of Sandora's will, "Why didn't the servants of the Melova people come out? "
I feel that the current situation is a bit different from what I expected-the Melovians have minions, and they will never take the lives of the minions seriously, so in theory, when they jump into this galaxy, they will let the minions It is right to open the way ahead, they will let those slave races serve as cannon fodder and human shields, instead of using their regular army to fight the imperial fleet, but let their slaves hide in a safe place.
I hold the resonance crystal in my hand, and there is a special device on the bow of this flagship, where a larger crystal and a set of amplifying antennas are installed, and that device can spread the power of the crystal to a whole light-year. Range—enough to cover the largest battlefields. Before we set off, we considered that the Melovas might drive the slave race to the battlefield as cannon fodder, so we prepared this thing. Although Sandora is transforming into the void and cannot come to the battlefield in person, her power can still be resonated What the crystal passed on, even if she didn't enter the glory form, it would be easy for her to suppress the slave race that might appear on a single battlefield, which is why we can come to the galaxy to meet the Melovas with such confidence. But now it seems... The enemy doesn't seem to be acting according to the script that Sandora and I envisioned.
"Let me see, what kind of tricks are they going to play again?" Lin Xue narrowed her eyes and looked at the star map. Although she couldn't understand that thing, the distribution of fleets on the star map would help her concentrate her power to pay attention A more specific thing, after a while, she smiled, "Ha... you are indeed a foolish king... Attention, there will be two troops jumping into the battlefield later, and the number of troops invested by Barryan is more than expected. Now it is just appetizer."
"Anything else? He really wants to raise the whole country's army in this battle?"
"It can only be said that Barryan has more troops than Turazzo knows. It seems that after that unlucky old man was pushed out, Barryan secretly increased the number of troops. This part of the army is another group of 'secret troops'. Barryan's subordinates are all secret troops, and none of the troops know the formation of the friendly army... This... This is really a weird tyrant, he almost doesn't believe himself!"
Me: "..." RS
