The holographic projection in front of me is constantly refreshing, and lines of incomprehensible data are scrolling crazily on it. It is a report analyzed by Bubbles. It is said that it can circle the earth half a circle if it is typed in four-size boldface, so I resolutely don’t look at that kind of thing. .
"I'm afraid it's unbelievable to say this, but if the Avengers really use a super-large shadow space to operate, this shadow space is very likely to be as large as the universe we live in."
Sandora also said a little staggered, obviously even if it was her old subordinate, now she feels a little unbelievable.
"Is this possible?" I racked my brains to recall the information about the shadow space." "The information in the shadow space comes from the real world. As long as you copy it patiently, the entire universe can be copied in theory, but to make such a huge combination of information It shouldn't be possible to keep simultaneous coverage with the real world, right? I remember that it took a long time for Bubbles to expand the Shadow City, and then I slept all day. "
"This may be the reason why the revenge army can't accurately return to the real world." Sandora bent her index finger against her chin, thinking again, "The difficulty of building a shadow world and building a real world is incomparable. The latter is simple. Many, and the former is extremely difficult due to the need to distort a large number of laws. Even with the technology of the old empire, it is impossible to overlap the two worlds, one true and the other false, and at the same time ensure that they will not be annihilated due to mutual contradictions. .
Jun, you may not know much about it. In fact, the shadow space technology is what we learned from the Protoss. What we imitate is the world structure of the God Realm, where many worlds are superimposed on the same place and are distinguished from each other by the concept layer. That is to say, The so-called shadow space is a secondary man-made God Realm, and the difficulty of this kind of project can be imagined. Since the shadow space and the real space overlap each other, they must achieve a basic equality in the amount of information to ensure that no overflow occurs, and the difficulty of this control will increase geometrically as the shadow space expands. A shadow space covering the entire universe... ...theoretically impossible to exist. "
"But now hypothetically, it exists."
"So the Vengeance Army can't return to Huang accurately, the real world ~ their shadow space has lost control, or some kind of break has occurred between the real world and the real world. The coordinate systems of the two worlds fell into complete disorder, directly "floating up" from the shadow space, becoming very unstable, and the result was being randomly teleported to any place. "
Sandora said, pointing a few times in the air, and constructed a very vivid dot matrix.
This is a very simple schematic diagram, consisting of two parallel checkerboards. The two checkerboards are exactly the same. Of course, all the intersections above are also one-to-one correspondence. Many thin lines connect these intersections. On , since the two chessboards are parallel and equidistant, these thin lines are parallel lines.
"This is a normal shadow space topology." Guidora clicked on a certain point on one of the checkerboards, and then lighted up on the other checkerboard. "Their information coordinates are exactly the same, even if we The space is rebuilt to make it look like a completely different city on the surface, just like City K as a human city and Shadow City as an empire base are so incompatible, their spatial coordinates will not change. But when the chessboard As Sandra said, she magnified the simple schematic diagram more than ten times. Immediately, the whole room was divided into two by two chessboards. I was on this side, and Sandora was on the other side.
"The Shadow City operating system responsible for completely matching the two chessboards will be overloaded. Because this is not only to calculate the information of one world, but also to calculate the two worlds at the same time, and repair the two worlds within a femtosecond Any loopholes or violent conflicts during the fusion will cause the information nodes in the shadow space to be displaced to varying degrees. Just like this.”
The checkerboard representing shadow space is on my side, and it twists quickly. Then it returned to the appearance of a chessboard, but this time, all its cross points were changed, and the countless parallel lines that originally connected the two chessboards also became a mess. It is easy to understand the corresponding relationship.
"It becomes extremely difficult to find information corresponding to the real world from the shadow space, when you "float" from a certain point. You never know where you're going to end up in the real world.
This should be the current situation of the Vengeance Army. "
"Trapped in a cage?" I raised my eyes and looked at the opposite side, Sandora's face looked a little strange behind the flickering checkerboard.
"Not entirely true, if they want to float directly from the shadow space." When it comes to real space, this is indeed a chaotic cage, but Xiling Empire also has a technology called cross-world teleportation.
Regardless of the corresponding relationship between the shadow space and the real world, they can directly teleport from the shadow space to outside the world, and then "fall" from outside the world to the real world, so that they can determine their own transmission coordinates. Of course, this first The second type of transmission is a routine method and can be easily scanned by our early warning agencies."
Lou nodded, understanding the complexities.
If Sandora's guess is correct, the lucky probe's observation is also correct, and Bubble's calculation is even more correct, this is basically the truth. And it is the only fact that can explain many things clearly.
The reason why we haven't been able to find the old lair of the revenge army is because their lair is not in any world at all, but right next to us, but this side is something you can't see at all, and there is no corresponding secret* , no one can enter the shadow space, even if you have the corresponding key, you may not know where you will be teleported after entering the shadow space. The situation of the Vengeance Army is better, they have the key, but the map is also black...
"Speaking of which, why is there no way to give an early warning when you "float directly" from the shadow space to the real world? "
I thought about it and asked this question that I didn't understand at the beginning.
Of course, if the principle is too complicated, I won't listen to it.
"Actually, this is very simple." Sandora smiled, and my heart suddenly sank: In the mouth of our knowledgeable and outrageously knowledgeable Queen, there are too many knowledge points that can be described by the word "very simple". , Saying these three words has no consoling effect for me at all, "Ah Jun, you still remember that the information in the shadow space and the real world are isolated from each other, although the former needs to copy information from the latter to form itself but This copying process is under the monitoring of the shadow space management system, and there is no way to break through."
I nod.
"So the shadow space and the real world seem to be separated by a layer of film. Space teleportation in the real world, no matter how sophisticated the method is, you have to generate information in the real world. A small amount of information is generated from time to time, and when information is generated, an early warning can be given. But it is different from the shadow space. Before you pass through that layer of information film, no one can detect your movements.
Then Sandora gave me a model of a black ball: the real world is like the outer surface of a black ball, we move on this vast surface, and we can see everything happening around us, while the shadow space is a black ball Inside, what's going on inside you don't know, and this time a needle sticks out of the black ball...
You never know where the needle will come from until you are pricked and bleed.
It's such a simple principle, but we have never thought of it. We thought that the revenge army had mastered some extremely advanced technology that could make all early warning methods disappear.
"Actually, it's no wonder we couldn't think of it." Sandora sighed, "Who would have guessed that they actually created a shadow space as big as the universe and locked themselves in it. Although it is possible to use the method of cross-world transmission, using The void is used as a springboard to leave that space, but due to the huge amount of energy required, this kind of teleportation is definitely not used casually, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the shadow space is a cage."
"Now can you confirm that it is really a shadow space?"
I checked again.
Sandora pointed to the holographic projection in the center of the room: "The probability is more than 99%, look at these data."
"… … …,I do not watch."
Sandora: "..."
"Anyway, that's it, what's your plan for the next step? Directly attack the shadow space?"
"It would be easy if you can." Sandora smiled wryly, "The shadow space cannot be entered without the key, and it is still out of touch with the real world. There is no way to crack it, unless the revenge army takes the initiative to lead us, otherwise It's impossible to get in."
So there is no other way
However, although there is no way to directly attack the enemy's lair, the discovery of the giant shadow space is still a huge breakthrough. In addition, it has just been confirmed that the Vengeance Army currently fighting against us has no will of its own and is just a group of shells, which reduces a lot of psychological pressure. Sandora's mood has obviously improved a lot because of this. The direct expression is that after returning to the Misty Planet base that day, she once again recovered as the food conqueror who swept the kitchen and stared at the dining table, and it seemed that she wanted to trigger the loss of appetite in the past few days. It seems that the appetite has dropped to pay back the food. Basically, except for the cook, she tasted everything in the whole cafeteria...
The next morning, a special battle report was delivered to Sandora and me.
On the edge of the Milky Way, about 33,000 light-years from the Mobrador star system, an Imperial outpost has "finally" come under attack.
Why do we say it was finally used? Because it was originally designed by Sandora to attract the attention of the enemy. We used ten Xiling mainframes and a dozen leader bees to rush to build such a base that looks like a normal empire. The Space Fortress, then withdrew the local garrison, leaving only a large number of mirror image troops and floating turrets to guard the line of defense. We have built more than a hundred similar Battlestars in the Milky Way, and they are scattered everywhere. About ten of them are real, and they are working overtime to produce battleships, while the rest are scaring empty shells. The one under attack at the edge of the galaxy is one of the empty shells.
According to the information obtained yesterday, when the Vengeance Army enters the main material plane, they need to use the relics they left in this universe as fuzzy coordinates to guide the teleportation, and the basis of our establishment of the space fortress is such relics of the old empire, so It can be regarded as a mistake, these brand-new military bases are as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky, and the probability of being attacked by surprise is increased by more than 10%. When the attacked space fortress starts to operate and symbolically produces Not long after the fleet, a small Avengers patrol suddenly appeared within its alert range.
Due to the large number of mirrored fleets and sentry guns stationed in Battlestar Space, this small patrol was blown to pieces almost as soon as it showed up. The ground sent a very strong signal, if you guessed correctly, this signal is marking the coordinates of the plastic room.
The enemy patrol apparently didn't have time to tell the authenticity of the Battlestar. They sent a deadly call for help to their large forces.
So now there are two choices in front of me: Send a large army to set up an ambush in the local area, or throw a bunch of space bombs and blow up the road signs there
Together with Sandora, I think this is a very good opportunity to ambush. The teleportation method of the revenge army has stumbled them this time. If we don't seize the opportunity at this time, it will be a waste.
As for how many troops to send there, of course, we also have to consider it. We can't just leave the Misty Star alone for a battlefield.
Sandora analyzed the military power displayed by the edge fortress, and calculated that the fleet of the revenge army's first raid would not exceed 200 motherships. As for the escort formation, it was proportional to the mothership. Considering our It is an ambush, and the soldiers are more expensive than many, so she decided to let a group of powerful troops go there for a quick battle.
Just as everyone guessed, Pandora and Viska jumped out immediately.
These two little girls have not been very active in the past few days. In fact, they haven't danced in front of my eyes for several days. This time I heard that there was going to be a war, and two 1.2-meter snot bubbles came out. Let’s put it this way, Sandora and I just finished reading the battle report, and Pandora and her sister are already preparing to board the ship...
On the star port in the synchronous orbit of Misty Star, Sandora and I personally sent these two little war lunatics to the battle, because the two of us had to stay at the base to preside over other tasks, so we couldn't watch all the way. This made me a little worried, but Sister Pandora looked full of confidence, and her mood was always very high. The simple-minded guy is really happy. The way to make Pandora and the others happy is always so simple and clear. Of course, the premise is that you can accept the exciting life of the occasional imperial conquest.
"Remember, your past was not just for war."
While Pandora was watching her soldiers boarding the ship while arranging her naval guns. I couldn't help but put my big hand on the top of the heads of the two little girls again, rubbing their hair hard to make them concentrate "The coordinates have been given to you, you must seize the moment when the enemy teleports, this is your task Do you know?"
Pandora and Viska came up and nodded, but their eyes were wandering, obviously immersed in the wonderful world full of wars and gunfire~
After thinking about it, I looked up and looked behind the two little guys. There was a row of commanders standing there, the most conspicuous of which was an uncle with a serious expression in a black suit, tie and sunglasses.
It’s rare that he didn’t carry a bag this time, but I know it’s because he’s afraid of breaking his treasure and putting it in the carry-on space…
"Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Uncle Heichao slapped a military salute, and the iron-blooded soldier's style made me seem to see the high-ranking military officer who just appeared in front of me three years ago, so I decided not to pursue him early to teach Reimu palmistry thing.
Looking at the straight and murderous imperial officer standing in front of me and the two sisters huā who were gesturing to see whose naval gun was bigger, I finally nodded and showed a self-deprecating smile to Sandora Smile.
Don't worry, when these guys drive war machines to crush all beings, the dinosaurs on earth are still alive. I'm used to seeing them not sneaking around. I almost forgot what kind of smashing machines these guys are once they go to the battlefield.
As long as Pandora's and Visca's excessively burning brain nerves are not disturbed, this group of soldiers can complete any combat mission without leaking.
So I felt safe, and took two steps back like the ancient king who sent his soldiers to the battle, waiting with a smile on my face to see my thousands of troops roaring out of the pass. I added a two-meter-long fence for myself The red cloak fluttered around, feeling that I was too ambitious at this moment—I couldn’t help myself for a full two minutes, Pandora and Viska were still rattling their naval guns, the only change was that Sicaro had already led His own soldiers boarded the ship.
I quickly threw away the cloak in my mind, and became surprised: "Ahem, when are you leaving?"
Viska blinked and blinked: "The spaceship is being prepared, and it's still more than an hour away."
Then you two call me over early! Just to be able to play with that pile of weapons in front of my brother, right
An hour or so later, the last transport ship carrying soldiers left the star port surrounded by a blue halo, and went to join the waiting mothership formation in the outer orbit. In the dark space, there were blue bright spots one after another. It disappeared immediately, that is, the fleet is sending in batches.
"I hope Tavel's temporary improvement to the probe will be effective."
Sandora said leisurely.
Pandora and Viska went to the border of the galaxy this time. Of course, the direct task is to set up an ambush there, prepare to ambush the enemy and verify the conjecture of Sandora and me. The second task is to stare at the space coordinates there. The moment the revenge army jumped out, it threw a new type of probe made by Tavel over.
If it goes well, this probe may be able to bypass the "firewall" system of the shadow space and enter the world where the revenge army is located.
This is the only way Sandora and I can think of to detect the enemy's lair under the current circumstances.
