Chapter 1278: distress signal

Views:

A fierce battle is taking place on the world barrier. This battlefield is thrilling and can even set off a storm within a few light-years. However, for ordinary races that do not have sufficient technical strength, they can't even see it at all. what happened.

The fallen apostles need to enter the physical state from the void state to launch a full-scale attack on the imperial army inside the world barrier. Otherwise, the void environment will greatly weaken their weapon systems, which is the advantage of the defender. However, the imperial army also cannot directly strike the fallen apostles in the void state. Only at the "critical point" of the world barrier can we exert an influence on the order field of the fallen apostles. This is the disadvantage of the defender. This treacherous battlefield is different from any conventional war. The two warring parties are engaged in a desperate struggle on the conceptual level, world view, mathematical laws and even cosmological constants. Let them collapse into the real world without control. On this indescribable battlefield, conventional artillery abdicated to various mathematical law generators and constant regulators. The "destroyed" warship did not turn into distorted steel fragments in the high temperature and explosion, but collapsed due to the order field, Instantly washed by the void into a pile of basic information elements—like a hard disk passing under a degaussing device.

"The stability of the world's barrier has dropped to 80%. Light speed disturbances may appear in this area. All fleets should pay attention to adjust the protection mode... Confirm that the speed of light in this area has dropped to 76%, the cosmic background radiation has disappeared, and the gravitational constant is decreasing. reset..."

The shipboard main unit is broadcasting the environmental changes in the area where the fleet is located. Now our main force is still hovering quietly in space, located only about 1.3 light-years away from a dark nebula, and the distant space presents a slight Smoke red, that is the lingering light and heat of aging nebula after exhausting the raw materials that can produce stars. I turned the focus on the monitor to the dark red dust lane. The edge matter, now it looks like everything is normal, but the superluminal observation equipment shows that the spectrum from the edge of the nebula is changing, and the disorder of the speed of light has caused space wonders to appear in this cosmic space, such as oil stains on the water surface The same colorful interstellar dust lanes—false redshift and blueshift.

The enemy fleet has not yet been able to enter this world. Our vanguard rushed to the world barrier while the enemy was distracted, and rewritten the entry code of the world barrier. Now the fallen apostles have to reset their order generator to Take back the access right on the barrier, and their fierce confrontation at the "critical point" of the barrier weakens the defense system of this universe, and the void can affect the ordered universe inside through the weak point of the barrier. This is the reason for the space spectacle before our eyes .

When scrambling to enter the code of the world barrier, the spacecraft of the fallen apostles began to suffer battle damage. Our army dropped a large number of order field disruptors into the void. These disruptors can temporarily stop the mathematical rate equipment within the range. As far as the void aircraft is protected by the field, the shutdown of the mathematical rate equipment means that there will be loopholes in its order field. For example, if a thing is born in a universe where one plus one equals two, then it needs a set of mathematical rate equipment in the void to continuously generate an orderly environment in which one plus one equals two. This process is similar to that in a universe without any OS system. To run code on a bare metal, you need to write the lowest-level environment language to make your code survive, and the shutdown of the mathematical rate device means that the environment language is invalid. Void—a bare metal without any OS interface will not support advanced code , Naturally, things from the material world will not be allowed to survive inside it. When one plus one is not equal to two, the spaceship from the material world will be wiped out by the void in a very short time.

This is why the fallen apostles are now facing the largest battle damage.

Of course, the enemy has the same technology as ours, and they will not sit still. When the special warfare spaceship of the Imperial Army turned the world barrier into a firewall, the Fallen Apostles not only quickly recovered from those annoying phantoms, but also They began to forcibly "sink" into the material world, and their order field clashed violently with the barrier of the world, just like installing a 64-bit software in a 32-bit operating system and requiring it to run normally. This is the "world view" In the confrontation at the level, the enemy forcibly hits the barrier without analyzing the current cosmic entry frequency, and uses another set of cosmic constants to destroy the basic laws of the current world. This is a brutal and violent method, and the destruction of the world is fatal. It will lead to an imbalance of the cosmological constant in a considerable range, and even lead to a sharp shortening of the life of the universe. If the dimension collapse effect is triggered, it will even trigger the end of the world , but the fallen apostles don't care, they no longer have the sense of responsibility of the old empire, as long as they can win, they don't mind destroying this universe.

"It seems that it is a wise move to put the battlefield here." The sister said to herself, her eyes fell on the giant holographic projection in the center of the command hall, which showed the real space scene outside the fleet.

It seems that we are still the only ones on this battlefield, and the enemy has not yet shown up, but in fact, the battle has already started and has reached a fever pitch.

They are just outside this universe, desperately trying to squeeze in. Now their behavior of forcibly breaking into the world barrier has caused quite obvious consequences in the universe. There are not many phenomena that can be observed visually. It is this piece of space where the fleet is being filled with a dim glow. Because the cosmological constant is destroyed, the direction of light and time axis has been messed up. The system shows that the fleet is now being illuminated by a beam of sunlight from hundreds of millions of years ago, and this beam of sunlight should have been hundreds of millions of years ago in theory. Get out of this space.

What is more serious than the abnormal phenomenon seen visually is the error of the cosmological constant detected by various detection equipment. The gravitational constant in a fairly large area is now out of order, and the law of universal gravitation is discontinuously effective within a range of several light-years—I am very glad that there are no celestial bodies here, otherwise it will definitely be torn into pieces by itself. And the dark nebula that spread tens of thousands of light-years adjacent to the imperial fleet was also disturbed, and a bit of it was torn apart by the chaotic gravity, like a leaky balloon, slowly stretching out a thin thread in this direction. Long jets of material. The space stability dropped to a critical value a few minutes ago, and now as long as a few space bombs are thrown out, wormholes will definitely be created in a fairly large range. The basic force that guarantees the stability of matter has not changed for the time being, but precision detectors show that within the affected range, the effect of the strong mutual force has just dropped by one ten-thousandth—this is a very precise value, and the slightest fluctuation of it may Cause everything in the world to collapse into elementary particles, and the fluctuation of one ten thousandth is already the limit that this universe can bear.

"The enemy army is about to break through the defense line on the world barrier," Sivis suddenly reported, "Their order field has merged with the world barrier for more than half, and our special warfare spaceships are being pulled out one by one."

"Let them withdraw," Xiaoxue said decisively. "The enemy's follow-up troops will arrive on the battlefield in 20 minutes. The main guns should be recharged. Before more enemies arrive, their vanguard troops must suffer."

In a daze, I seemed to see the shadow of Sandora from Xiaoxue. Maybe this child was also taken by Sandora for a while back then

Special warfare spaceships are generally cutting-edge warships modified from small and medium-sized warships below the expedition level. They are dedicated to fighting on special battlefields like world barriers. They have high-tech disorder equipment and mathematical rate weapons. After the universe, the above-mentioned equipment will be affected by the revision of the world view. At the same time, these spaceships cannot be equipped with too many conventional weapons, so they are extremely vulnerable to the fallen apostles who are about to break through the world barrier. When the fallen apostles successfully find a stable information point on the world barrier Afterwards, their weapons regained their combat effectiveness, and the weakly equipped special warfare spacecraft immediately suffered battle damage. If this continues, the advantage we gained through surprise attacks will soon be lost, so Xiaoxue immediately ordered to abandon the world barrier.

A few seconds later, the shipboard host issued a piercing alarm: "A large-scale mass body has been detected entering this universe! The hole in the world barrier is expanding!"

"The second and third echelons are on standby, waiting for the prophet's instructions," I looked at the figures of Rina and Odysseus on the communicator, "Where are you now?"

"Outside the world barrier, at the junction of the void and the world of order," Odysseus was surrounded by the brilliance of magic energy, like a god, "We are now entering the real world with the enemy's troops. Blinded by the phantom, I didn't expect us to be with the phantom, and now they don't see us."

Just now the spellcasters led by Odysseus and Rena carried out a very risky mission. They were not just as simple as dropping a large-scale mirage next to the fallen apostle with the cooperation of the leader bee. In fact, they He brought his troops and those phantoms to the enemy's side!

Of course, while hiding their whereabouts, they also used phantoms to divert the enemy's attention to other places to reduce their chances of being hit by stray bullets, but that was still quite dangerous. The counterattack taken by the Fallen Apostle after being attacked by the phantom at that time could not be predicted at any time. Standing with the phantom fleet that was the target itself, the casters were gambled against the enemy's guns. However, everything was going according to plan. The Fallen Apostle immediately diverted the artillery fire when he realized that he was facing some shadows. The caster troops led by Odysseus and Rena were blatantly standing next to the enemy's position." Latent" down.

Those phantoms still haven't disappeared, and as the fallen apostles gradually sank into the real world, the former followed closely behind, and even "attacked all the way", but the enemy has already determined that all these mirages are used by the imperial army to confuse their judgment and divert their firepower They completely ignored these shadows with zero attack power, and did not waste any firepower to clean up the battlefield. After all, for the Xiling starship with an efficient locking device, as long as the shadows swaying on the battlefield are marked, it will not cause more harm. Interference with the identified phantom.

Now the enemy has chosen to use the computing power of the fleet's fire control host and locking system to eliminate those "shadows" instead of allocating part of their firepower to the latter. According to common sense, this is a wise judgment, but this time, it became Another mistake of the enemy.

Odysseus and Rena led tens of thousands of carefully selected spellcasters, just dormant quietly in the mirage that had been completely ignored by the fallen apostles, under the cover of those colorful and powerless "battleships" Down, waiting for a truly powerful attack at any time.

The stability of the space dropped to the tolerable extreme, the barrier between the world and the void was smashed, and then, a large number of dense red marks appeared on all the fire control radars.

"Confirm that the enemy's vanguard is a fast force field tow ship, and our jump disruptor has been ruled out!"

"The special warfare formation has been safely withdrawn, and the damaged warship is being repaired urgently."

"The Hidden Bomb formation is on standby, ready to attack at any time!"

The command hall instantly became busy.

"Don't worry about the jump interrupter, this method can't work every time," Sivis's storm commander's power has spread to the entire fleet, and the firepower and attack speed of the imperial army have continued to increase. She ordered to abandon those who failed The disruptor then silently counted for six seconds, waiting for the fleet of the Fallen Apostles to enter the most vulnerable state, and then ordered: "The whole army is free to fire! Stealth bombers are launched on the flanks—three echelon cover!"

"Servant fleet, cover the departure of the second wave of stealth bombers, and hold back the enemy's flank counterattack firepower!"

The cold and silent universe was instantly ignited by the fiery artillery fire. The two warring parties are still half a light-year away from each other, but they have already started long-range bombardment through various hyperspace firepower delivery devices. The Fallen Apostles seem to have known for a long time that the Imperial Army is used to throwing jump disruptors when the enemy is halfway through the jump to cause huge damage. The first batch of them to jump out are small spaceships called fast force field tug ships. The thing has no firepower, but has a very high transition stability. After they faced the firepower of the Imperial Army and suffered huge casualties, they completely destroyed the transition disruptors we threw at the mass collapse point. The main force of the enemy almost Entered the battlefield unscathed, and then launched a fierce counterattack.

It seems that we are not the only ones who have improved in the fight.

If you are in space, there is no so-called geographical advantage; if both sides use the same equipment, there is no so-called technological gap; The ultimate veterans of tens of millions of years of war, they have almost learned how to punch out the enemy's brains to an almost artistic level, and they even know each other's habit of opening spoons for others—then this is A balance of power. Of course, this is a more elegant way of saying it. The popular way of saying it is: two groups of people stare at each other.

Now the two warring parties have entered the stage of macro-drawing. The reason for the macro fight is that there are still many things to do outside the main battlefield. Our army's strategy is called strategy, and the enemy's is called low-level operations. Anyway, they are stumbling each other on the edge of the frontal battlefield. Things that cause extra victories. When the stealth bomber of the imperial army broke away from the main formation under the cover of a large number of escort formations and rushed to the rear of the enemy, the enemy's hyperspace strike also began to pour firepower on the expeditionary battleship formation on the flank of the imperial army. The commander of the fallen apostle this time seems to be an unusual guy. After he suffered additional battle damage in the void ambush, he began to adopt a series of unconventional tactics, such as letting the fast force field tug ship use suicide actions to attack the enemy. Eliminate warp disruptors, such as directing half your firepower to the Imperials' flanks. These unusual tactics are indeed effective, and now the enemy is gradually increasing their gains: not enough to make up for the losses suffered in the void ambush, but they are starting to hold their ground.

In the command hall of the Admiral Empire, the shipboard host is hurriedly broadcasting the damage control information from the flanking fleet and the battle report from the frontline commander with an emergency index exceeding 8.5. The expedition-class fleet as an auxiliary firepower platform is now severely damaged, and has to shrink its formation. The imperial army is in good condition. However, there are a large number of frontier-class fortress ships among the enemy's vanguard troops. The combined shield formed by these fortress ships allows Their defenses are as strong as a tortoise's shell. Sivis ordered a part of the fleet covering the return of the stealth bomber to circle a circle with a radius of 0.3 light-years to attract the enemy's firepower from the side - of course, the servant fleet still had to return as originally planned, and their spaceships could not carry out this task. kind of task.

"It's a strange way of fighting. They leave the main force of the imperial army alone, but they are attacking our army's second-line phalanx with all their strength." Sivis was puzzled, but Xiaoxue didn't take it seriously: "It's normal, these vanguard troops are just It is just clearing away the threat for their follow-up reinforcements. The second batch of enemy motherships is huge. They are suitable for dealing with the main force of the imperial army, and they are seriously threatened by small and medium-sized heavy-fire spaceships. Now the guys on the opposite side know what they suffered in the early stage The loss is huge, and there is no enough heavy firepower, so we are doing our best to clean up the spaceships they can beat for the friendly forces."

The early warning radar issued a rapid alarm again. This time it detected a large number of mass collapse points being generated within a few light-seconds near the Imperial Army's position. It may be the enemy's assault force, or a large group of warheads, or of course it may be a group of warheads. A large piece of shiny bricks: The enemy commander I met this time is really an elusive guy, and it seems that it is not surprising that the other party throws anything.

I felt someone tug on my sleeve, and I knew who it was without turning around—this was based on the height I felt of the person next to me.

"The general's guards are ready to attack," I said to the communication platform, "Sicaro, you stand up to the enemy's heavy firepower and give the Pandora sisters a space where they can flex their fists."

And when the two 1.2-meter-twos were excitedly running towards the transmitter to be ejected out of the capsule, the intelligence officer suddenly reported an unexpected piece of information:

"Your Majesty, we have received a distress signal—from a third party." RS
