Hearing Vincent's exclamation, I rushed over immediately, only to find that he had called out something like a system log.
"What is this? Historical records?" I frowned. I have been in touch with imperial affairs for some years. I can't see the professional part in this kind of log, but the non-professional descriptive content is still easy to understand. It seems It is a military allocation order, as well as some sporadic orders from the interior of the abyss area and the operation of the sovereign hub. It is basically a miscellaneous record. It can be seen that the security level of these miscellaneous items is not too high, otherwise it would not be so It was simply summarized into a database, and it was so easily deciphered by Vincent.
Vincent looked through the information quickly, and apparently he found some very important clues: "Here is a record of several conflicts that broke out in the Abyss area, so the military dispatch was once in chaos. Here are some records of the passage of the frontline temporary troops. It is also very confusing. In addition, there are some completely contradictory orders, but the source of the order is unified... all kinds of unexplainable things like this. In addition, it is mentioned that some important reports were sent to the sovereign hub... It seems that the sovereign What secrets are there on the hub?"
There was an explosion in the distance, followed by a piercing screech of weapon fire and metal tearing: the Scorpion soldiers engaged another wave of bastion guards. I recovered from the logs in front of me, and looked up at the entrance of the main computer room: "Copy these logs first, and quickly fix the fortress defense network."
"Of order!" Vincent nodded immediately and returned to work.
At this moment, the shield on the outside of the mainframe of the fortress has been lowered, and several experts are dismantling the protective plate on the mainframe of the fortress. Some of them are the fortress commanders from the fallen apostle camp in the past, and some are the technicians brought over by Harlan when he was recruited. People are very familiar with this big guy in front of them, and even know the location of each crystallization line in the mainframe. In just ten seconds, the three protective plates on the casing of the fortress mainframe were removed, and Vincent put his own The data terminal was connected to the console in the corner, and then ran over to directly connect another data terminal with the processing core in the bastion host. That’s how it works—I invented this method of operation. Technical experts believe that this method of synchronizing the protocol will cause harm to the system, but what the frontline soldiers want is higher efficiency. The life of the mainframe is designed to be one million years, but the actual How can there be a fortress that can survive for so long?"
The two former fallen apostle technicians standing on both sides of Vincent turned their heads to look at him silently, and one of them couldn't help but said: "It turns out that you were the one who took the lead in using the external source synchronization method..."
Vincent was stunned, and immediately slapped his head regretfully: "I forgot that you two also surrendered... I didn't expect that you would run into creditors after you both changed sides."
They said so, but the work in hand did not slow down at all. It seems that it is exactly what Vincent said: the whole operation process is not too difficult, and they have been familiar with it for a long time, even if the fallen apostle changed the recognition library. , these former experts did not take it seriously.
The bastion host's emotionless broadcast sounded again in the main computer room: "Attention, the protocol of this machine has changed, and the new version of the agreement will take effect in 30 seconds. It is expected that this operation will have unknown consequences. If it is a wrong operation, please cancel it immediately. "
Vincent finally showed a relieved smile on his face: "It's done, after 30 seconds, all the attack commands of Battlestar will be locked, and then they will stop forwarding all information, which will last for about 30 minutes—enough to destroy all Line of defense."
At this time, there was another explosion outside, mixed with the harsh sound of metal tearing, Weijia's voice came from the spiritual connection: "Sir! All the guards in the entire fort are coming this way! How long will we have to resist!?"
"It's done here, there are still 20 seconds left, you fight and withdraw to the main computer room to meet up," I replied quickly, and then patted Pandora and Viska on the head, "You two go to meet them."
Then I contacted other commandos: "The mission is done, quickly come to the main computer room to meet up and prepare to evacuate!"
As if just to join in the fun, the broadcast sounded again in the main computer room, this time the broadcast was much faster than before: "Attention, this machine is about to leave the network after receiving an order from the highest level, repeat, this machine is about to leave the network!"
"They are aware of what's going on here," Vincent quickly checked the operating status of the mainframe of the fortress, but his face didn't seem to be too worried, "The Defense Circle Command is forcibly shielding the fortress through external instructions, However, it will take 30 seconds for the blocking order to take effect, which is too late."
"Boom!" A big explosion that was more powerful than all previous explosions came from nowhere. The shock wave shook the entire main computer room, and several kinds of harsh sirens came together at once. There was a roar, and then the lights in the computer room began to flicker, and I quickly floated into the air to prevent falling, while communicating with other commandos: "Is this movement a bit too loud?"
"Your Majesty, the fortress is exploding!" The voice of an commando commander sounded through the spiritual connection. Due to the intense energy interference, his voice sounded seriously distorted. "Three teams and four teams were involved in the explosion and all died..."
"Boom boom boom—" Continuous explosions came from all directions, and one or two explosions sounded as if they were only a few hundred meters away from the main engine room. The scene of violent shaking in front of me also made people dizzy. I saw large groups of psionic sparks bursting from the ceiling. Obviously, the energy network of the fortress had begun to collapse: the enemy detonated the reaction furnace of the fortress. The internal explosion has already spread to the most heavily guarded computer room.
A glaring white light suddenly lit up not far away, and a big hole was blasted on one side of the main computer room, high-temperature metal jets mixed with corrosive psionic energy splashed in from the hole: the main computer room with a special casing finally It's starting to crumble, and it looks like the place is going to die in no time.
It seems that the fallen apostles have realized that conventional methods cannot prevent this polluted fortress from spreading virus broadcasts to the entire network, so they desperately decided to use self-destruct to destroy this place, but thanks to Occam's "reliable design" at the beginning, this main computer room seems It is stronger than expected, and the mainframe of the bastion definitely uses an unusual power supply line: even when the energy network of the entire fortress is out of control, that huge mainframe is still operating normally!
There are only ten seconds left in the countdown, and I quickly gave an order to the other commandos: "Upload the soul in place! Let's withdraw!"
The artificial gravity inside the fortress has stopped, and there is a strong wind and flames sweeping through the big hole above the main engine room. Although I can't see the outside scene in the center of the explosion, I can tell from this phenomenon that the fortress has begun to disintegrate. The shell is peeled off, the basic functions are shut down, and the atmospheric environment is leaked—the countdown is only five seconds away!
At this time, a big hole appeared on the ceiling of the main computer room again, and it was the Pandora sisters and a group of armored scorpions who ran out of the hole. Wei Jia waved at us: "Sir, this road leads to the outside!"
"Why are you still running in five seconds?" I immediately turned into a void form, "Come here and hide in the void for a while."
The void domain opened instantly, the material world was replaced by "Origin", everyone hid in the safe void barrier, and the explosions and noisy sirens disappeared in an instant—this world is so clean.
Thanks to the improvement and changes brought about by the "deification of the whole family", every apostle of the new empire from top to bottom is gradually gaining affinity for the void environment, even if it is too late to open the order field, an ordinary empire Soldiers can also survive in the void for a long time, and our commando team is all elites. I can safely surround everyone in my own void domain and wait for the outside to calm down.
After a while, the void domain was revoked, and we returned to the material plane from the border of the world, with only large pieces of debris floating in space in front of us.
The fortress has completely disintegrated, and the unprecedented power generated by the self-explosion tore the tens of kilometers of monster into pieces in the blink of an eye. These fragments that exploded in a zero-gravity environment are spreading rapidly, and now they have spread into a "ball of ruins" hundreds of kilometers away. ", in this desolate world with no other celestial bodies and no interstellar dust, probably those fragments will spread forever.
There are still huge sparks of psionic energy jumping between the remains of the fortress, and the remaining energy in the crystallization pipe network is slowly being released. I looked up to the distance, and from here I can see several other space buildings that are closer and at the right angle. fortress.
They were dead silent.
"Sandora, have you seen the situation here?" I contacted the Admiral of the Empire, "Their fortress has been muted."
"Are you all right?" Sandora's voice immediately rang in her mind, "I just received a signal from the souls of those commandos, and you were involved in the self-destruction?"
"It did blow up," I was very happy, "But the people nearby are protected by me with the void domain, and the commando soldiers are too far away, so I can only let them upload their souls in advance and lie down in the resurrection factory." It's better to be killed for a while. We're going back now, and you're ready to receive it."
There were no more twists and turns on the way back. The simultaneous offline of all space fortresses has caused the fallen apostles to be in a mess. In addition, the most important close defense force near the sovereign hub: the drone swarm is also commanded by the fortress network, and they are paralyzed. There was a temporary defense gap here, and before the enemy fleet's carrier-based aircraft came out to make trouble, we safely rushed through the blockade line, and teleported back to the Admiral of the Empire as soon as we escaped from the powerful gravitational well near the Sovereign Hub.
There is no suspense in the next battle. Those space fortresses that did not resist were quickly cleaned up (these things should be cleaned first, after all, they will restart in thirty minutes), although the enemy fleet entrenched in the sky above the Sovereign Hub fought desperately, But the huge disadvantage in numbers and the chaos caused by the destruction of the fortress system made them have no chance of winning. The Imperial Army fleet was fully fired, destroying the enemy's shield layer by layer. The glow ring, which had been holding back its big move for a long time, finally showed its power: nearly half of the enemy ships were "named" by them. dead.
During the battle, I saw how the glow ring cooperates with other types of ships, and how powerful this combination will be once formed: other types of spaceships are fully fired, only dealing with the enemy's shield, once the enemy's shield is extinguished Immediately switch to fire, no longer wasting excess firepower on those annoying charging armors, and the glow ring is the last link of the "fire chain". They don't fire during the whole process, just waiting to harvest those enemies who have lost their shields . Originally, a Xiling spaceship could still rely on rechargeable armor to persist in fighting after losing its shield, but in the face of unreasonable things like the "horror mirror system", those spaceships that were still fighting were as fragile as paper.
If the protection of a spaceship is regarded as consisting of shield + armor, then once the glow ring appears on the battlefield, it means that the enemy's armor protection has been cleared.
What is this called: a big move, the head is taken away, no blood remains... I know there is a grammatical problem with this sentence, but it is mainly for rhyming, so don't pursue it.
The defense fleet above the Sovereign Hub was wiped out, and the last line of defense of the Fallen Apostles in this universe collapsed. Of course, there were anti-aircraft guns installed on the two black man-made planets, but these weak anti-aircraft firepower were obviously not enough. read.
The enemy is still trying to find a way to send reinforcements to this world. The fighting will and stubborn spirit of the fallen apostles are really in the same line as the Xiling apostles, but our troops left outside the world barrier have fulfilled their mission well: deployed around the universe The powerful interference environment made it difficult for the enemy's reinforcements to teleport over. Now that the dust has settled, they will never have to come over.
Sandora looked at the picture of the Sovereignty Hub from the external monitor. The two dark artificial planets were still running quietly in their own orbits. Although the surrounding space fortresses and defense fleets had been eliminated, the planet itself had powerful The shield, so it is still intact at present, but no matter how powerful the shield is, it can't withstand the wanton salvo of such an imperial fleet. It only takes a moment to destroy them, and as long as these two artificial planets are destroyed, the enemy's world will be destroyed. The door will shut down.
We are still not sure where the fallen apostles hid the gate of the world. The gate seems to be hidden by some powerful concealment technology, but we can be sure that the control center of the gate is on those two planets— This is determined by the sensor scan.
"Sure enough, it's the damage definition system... All secondary artillery and assault ships are ready to fire, and push EOP-03 onto the projection track," Sandora gave the order without much thought, "This world is ours now."
At this time, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! There is something on the Sovereign Hub!"
Sandora gave me a puzzled look: "What's going on?"
"We found some strange logs in the bastion host. In the logs, there is more information on the independent database of the sovereign hub," I hurriedly told Sandora what I found before, "about the civil strife of the fallen apostles. —The civil strife has affected the border defense, and the things recorded here should be able to extrapolate the situation in the abyss.”
"Planet bombing saves time, the enemy will soon connect the gates of the world," Sandora frowned, "I don't have time to slowly occupy the two planets at this time..."
"It's not easy? Leave it to me." Xiaoxue's voice came from behind, and when I turned around, I saw the brat pointing at the holographic image in front of me. She was on one of the planets in the Sovereign Hub. A small area was marked on it, "Don't use EOP-03, just use Xinghe to plow the ground, don't blow up this area."
... This child is quite flexible in using his abilities.
Sandora nodded, sent the coordinates marked by Xiaoxue to the fleet, and then gave the order for orbital bombing.
Due to the use of the damage definition system over the Sovereign Hub, the powerful Galaxy main guns are very weak in the face of this shield. Our first round of bombing was completed by the fleet's secondary guns and a large number of small warships. The powerful planetary shield flickered violently for a moment in the face of an astonishing amount of artillery bombardment, and then quickly melted and disintegrated, followed by the popular Xinghe plowing: the fully charged Xinghe main cannon swept the earth's crust, and a casual stroke was enough to cut plates , although the two man-made planets were built according to the standard of military fortresses, with solid structures and high-resistance shells, after all, they couldn't hold such an astonishing number of eternal-level bombs. After a while, the surface of the two planets had only one A sea of molten liquid metal and storm clouds filled with psionic energy.
All the facilities of the sovereign hub were destroyed, and the last control of the fallen apostles in this world disappeared.
The early warning radar confirmed that the information source pointing to this world has been temporarily cut off, and the fleet on the world barrier also sent the good news that "the world barrier has stopped resisting". The command hall of the Admiral was full of excitement. Although I feel that the battle has just begun, and there is still an unknown tough battle waiting for me, but I still can't help but feel a burst of excitement—but I haven't forgotten the business.
"The environment down here is not very friendly," Sandora looked at the image of the Sovereign Hub on the holographic projection. The two planets are now two balls of half-melted slag, wrapped in a layer of strong energy storms, and the Milky Way plows the ground. The planet became a purgatory, only the database marked by Xiaoxue survived in the form of an isolated island, "Send two engineering ships over there, salvage the database, assemble the space laboratory on the spot, and see what's going on inside the fallen apostle Something went wrong."
Two heavy-duty engineering ships specially designed to operate on the battlefield were released from the cross-arm hangar of the Imperial Admiral to salvage the crucial database in the "slag ocean". The special operation ship commonly known as the "beacon ship" directly deployed a coordinate guidance tower nearby: this device can amplify the navigation signal across the void. Now that the world has temporarily settled down, it is time to send the Celestial System Fleet and the Vengeance Fleet together. Sent to the front line.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel...
The war seemed very, very wrong, the rhythm was wrong, and I didn't have the slightest feeling that I was about to win a big victory. RS
