Chapter 1,273 A Signal for Help
A battle on the world barrier is going on fiercely. This battlefield is thrilling and can even set off a storm within a few light years. However, for ordinary races who do not have sufficient technical strength, they cannot 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 emperor located within the world barrier. Otherwise, the void environment will greatly weaken their weapon system. This is the advantage of the defender. However, the Emperor's gun cannot directly hit the fallen apostles in the void state. We can only affect the order field of the fallen apostles at the "critical point" of the world barrier. This is a disadvantage for the defender. This treacherous battlefield is different from any conventional war. The two warring parties engage in a desperate struggle on the conceptual level, world view, mathematical laws and even cosmological constants. The only goal is to destroy the orderly environment in which the enemy relies on for survival and disrupt the enemy's deployment. Let them collapse into the real world without control. On this indescribable battlefield, conventional artillery gave way to various mathematical law-generating devices and constant adjusters. The "destroyed" warships did not turn into twisted steel fragments in the heat and explosion, but due to the collapse of the order field. It was instantly washed away by the void into a pile of basic information elements - just like a hard drive passing under a degaussing device.
"The stability of the world barrier has dropped to 80%. Light chaos may occur in this area. Each fleet should pay attention to adjusting the protection mode... It is confirmed that the light in this area has dropped to 76%, the cosmic background radiation has disappeared, and the gravitational constant Resetting..."
The shipboard host broadcasts the environmental changes in the area where the fleet is located. Now our main force is still hovering quietly in space, located next to a dark nebula about only 1.3 light-years away. The distant space shows a slight The red smoke is the remaining light and heat emitted by the aging nebula after it has exhausted the raw materials that can produce stars. I turned the focus of the monitor to the dark red dust belt. It is very thin and is the color of the dark nebula. The edge matter still looks like normal, but light observation equipment shows that the spectrum coming from the edge of the nebula is changing. The chaos of light has caused space wonders to appear in this space, such as colorful oil stains on the water. Interstellar dust lanes - wrong redshift and blueshift.
The enemy fleet has not yet been able to enter this world. Our vanguard took advantage of the moment when the enemy was distracted to rush to the world barrier and rewrite the entry code of the world barrier. Now the fallen apostles have to reset their order generator. Taking back the right of access to the barrier, their fierce confrontation at the "critical point" of the barrier weakened the protective system of this universe, and the void was able to affect the ordered universe inside through the weak points of the barrier. This is the reason for the space wonders before our eyes. .
When fighting for the world barrier to enter the code, the fallen apostle's spaceship began to suffer battle damage. Our army dropped a large number of order field disruptors into the void. These disruptors can temporarily shut down the mathematical rate equipment within the range. For those who rely on the order field For the void aircraft to protect itself, 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 where one plus one equals two. This process is similar to that in a universe without any OS system. To run code on bare metal, you need to write the lowest-level environment language yourself in order for your code to survive, and the mathematical rate device shutdown means that the environment language is invalid and void - a bare metal without any OS interface will not support advanced code. Nature will not allow things from the material world to survive inside it. When one plus one is not equal to two, the spacecraft from the material world will be erased by the void in a very short period of time.
This is the reason why the fallen apostles are now facing the largest battle losses.
Of course, the enemy has the same technology as us, and they will not sit still and wait for death. When the emperor's special warfare spaceship turned the world barrier into a firewall, the fallen apostle not only quickly recovered from those annoying phantoms, And they began to "sink" forcefully into the material world. Their order field violently conflicted with the world barrier, just like forcibly installing a 64-bit software in a 32-bit operating system and requiring it to run normally. This is a "world view." In a confrontation on a different level, the enemy forcibly attacks the barrier without analyzing the entry frequency of the current universe, and uses another set of cosmological constants to destroy the basic laws of the current world. This is a barbaric and violent method that is fatal to the destruction of the world. It will lead to an imbalance in the cosmological constants on a considerable scale and even lead to a sharp shortening of the life of the universe. If it triggers the dimension collapse effect, it may even trigger the end of the world. But the fallen apostles don't care. They no longer have the same sense of responsibility as the old empire. As long as they can win, they don't mind destroying the universe.
"It seems that placing the battlefield here is a wise move." My sister said to herself, her eyes fell on the giant holographic projection in the center of the command hall, which showed the real scene of space outside the fleet.
It seems that we are still the only ones on this battlefield, and the enemy has not yet appeared, but in fact, the battle has already started and has entered a fever pitch.
They are outside this universe, trying desperately to squeeze in. Now their behavior of forcibly attacking the world barrier has caused quite obvious consequences in the universe. There are not many phenomena that can be observed visually. The most significant one is The space where the fleet is located is being filled with a dim glow. Because the cosmological constant has been destroyed, the direction of light and interaxes 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. In theory, this beam of sunlight should have been hundreds of millions of years ago. Leave this space.
What is more serious than the visual anomalies are the errors in the cosmological constant detected by various detection equipment. The gravitational constant in a quite large area is now out of order, and the law of universal gravitation is in a state of discontinuous effect within a range of several light-years. I am very lucky that there are no celestial bodies here, otherwise it will definitely be torn into pieces by itself. . The dark nebula that spreads tens of thousands of light-years next to the Imperial fleet was also disturbed. One point of it was torn apart by the chaotic gravity, and like a deflated balloon, it was slowly extending a thin line in this direction. Long jets of material. The stability of space dropped to a critical value a few minutes ago. Now, as long as explosive bombs are thrown into a few spaces, a wormhole will be created within a considerable range. The basic force that ensures the stability of matter has not changed for the time being, but the precision detector shows that the effect of the strong mutual force within the affected range has just dropped by one ten thousandth - this is a very precise value, and the slightest fluctuation in it is It may cause everything in the world to collapse into elementary particles. A fluctuation of one ten thousandth is already the limit that the universe can bear.
"The enemy is about to break through the defense line on the world barrier," Sivis suddenly reported. "Their order field has been more than half integrated with the world barrier, and our special warfare spacecraft 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 twenty minutes.
The main gun is charged, and the vanguard of the enemy is going to suffer a lot before more enemies can get into position. "
In a daze, I seemed to see the shadow of Sandora in Xiaoxue. Maybe this child was also taken by Sandora for a period of time?
Special warships are generally cutting-edge battleships modified from small and medium-sized battleships below the expedition level. They are designed to fight on special battlefields like the world barrier. They have high-tech disorder equipment and mathematical rate weapons, but when entering order After the universe, the above-mentioned equipment will be affected by the correction of the world view. At the same time, these spacecraft 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 the raid will soon be lost, so Xiaoxue immediately ordered the abandonment of the world barrier.
A few seconds later, the ship's host computer sounded 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 instructions from the prophet," I looked at the figures of Rena 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 radiance of magic energy, like a god, "We are now entering the real world with the enemy's troops, and the fallen apostles are being I was blinded by the illusion, and I didn’t expect that we were with the phantom, and now they haven’t found our people.”
Just now, the spellcasters led by Odysseus and Rena performed 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. In fact, they He took his troops and those phantoms to reach the enemy!
Of course, while hiding their whereabouts, they also used phantoms to divert the enemy's attention elsewhere to reduce the chance of being hit by stray bullets, but it was still quite dangerous. The counterattack taken by the fallen apostle after being attacked by the phantom was unpredictable at any time. The spellcasters stood together with the phantom fleet, which was itself a target, and they were gambling their luck against the enemy's guns. But everything was going according to plan. After the fallen apostle discovered that he was facing some shadows, he immediately diverted the artillery fire. The caster troops led by Odysseus and Reina were blatantly next to the enemy's position." Lurking" down.
Those phantoms still have not disappeared, and as the fallen apostles gradually sank into the real world, the former followed closely behind, and even "attacked all the way." However, the enemy has determined that all these mirages are the emperor's use to disrupt their judgment and transfer. With 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 wandering on the battlefield are marked, it will not cause more harm. Xiling apostles will not be like the armies of ordinary races. Interferenced by the identified ghost.
Now the enemy has chosen to use the computing power of the fleet fire control host and locking system to eliminate those "shadows" instead of diverting part of the firepower to the latter. If it follows common sense, this is a wise judgment, but this time, it becomes Another mistake made by the enemy.
Odysseus and Reina led tens of thousands of carefully selected spellcasters, quietly dormant 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 space dropped to the tolerable extreme, and the barrier between the world and the void was shattered. Then, large dense red marks appeared on all fire control radars. "It is confirmed that the enemy's vanguard is a fast force field tractor, and our jump interrupter has been eliminated!"
"The special operations formation has been safely withdrawn, and the damaged warships are undergoing emergency repairs."
"The hidden bombardment formation is on standby and ready to attack at any time!"
The command hall instantly became busy.
"Ignore the jump interrupter. This method cannot work every time." Sivis's Storm Commander's power has spread to the entire fleet, and the firepower and attack speed of the Emperor's gun are constantly increasing. She ordered to abandon those ineffective devices. interrupter, and then counted silently for six seconds, waiting for the fallen apostle's fleet to enter the most vulnerable state, and then ordered: "The entire army fires freely! Drop stealth bombers on the flanks-three echelons for cover!"
"The servant fleet will cover the departure of the second wave of stealth bombers and hold back the enemy's counterattack firepower on the flanks!"
The cold and silent universe was instantly ignited by fiery artillery fire. The two warring parties were still half a light-year away from each other, but they had already begun long-range bombardment through various space-time fire delivery devices.
The fallen apostles seemed to have known for a long time that the Emperor was accustomed to releasing jump interrupters when the enemy was halfway through their jump to cause huge damage. The first batch of them to jump out were small spaceships called fast force field tractors. This thing has little firepower, but it has extremely high jump stability. After they suffered huge casualties in the face of the emperor's firepower, they destroyed all the jump interrupters we threw towards the mass collapse point. The enemy's main force attacked in the first wave. Zhong entered the battlefield almost unscathed and then launched a ferocious counterattack.
It seems that we are not the only ones who have improved in the competition.
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. If the combat effectiveness and quantity of the armies of both sides are similar, if all the front-line commanders of the combatants have fought against each other. Youzi, the ultimate veterans who have fought for tens of millions of years, have almost mastered the technique of beating out the enemy's brains to an almost artistic level. They even know each other's habit of opening the brains of others - so this It's 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 stared at each other.
Now the warring parties have entered the macro-draw stage. The reason why it is a macro battle is that there are still many things to do outside the main battlefield. Our army's strategy is called strategy, and the enemy's strategy is called tactics. Anyway, they are just trying to defeat each other on the edge of the frontal battlefield. Something that causes extra results. When the Imperial Navy's stealth bombers broke away from their formation under the cover of a large escort formation and rushed towards the enemy's rear, the enemy's space-time strikes also began to pour firepower on the expedition-class battleship formations flanking the Imperial Navy. The commander of the Fallen Apostle seems to be an unconventional guy. After he suffered additional battle losses in the void ambush, he began to adopt a series of unconventional tactics, such as having the fast force field tractor ship use suicide operations. Eliminate warp interrupters, such as directing half of the firepower toward the Emperor's flanks. These unusual tactics are indeed effective, and now the enemy is gradually increasing their results: not enough to make up for the losses suffered in the void ambush, but they are starting to stabilize their position.
In the command hall of the Imperial Admiral, the ship's host computer was rapidly broadcasting damage control information from the flanking fleets and battle reports from the frontline commanders with an emergency index of over 8.5. The Expedition-class fleet as an auxiliary firepower platform is now seriously damaged and has to shrink its formation. The Imperial Army's main formation is in good condition, but there are a large number of Frontier-class fortress ships in the enemy's vanguard. The joint shield formed by these fortress ships Let their defenses be 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 enemy firepower from the side - of course, the servant fleet among them still had to return as originally planned, and their spaceships could not execute it. This kind of task.
"It's a strange way of playing. They leave the main force of the emperor alone, but they are attacking our second-line phalanx with all their strength." Sivis was confused, but Xiaoxue didn't take it seriously: "It's normal, these vanguard troops They are just clearing the threat for their follow-up reinforcements. The second batch of enemy motherships are huge in number. They are suitable for dealing with the main force of the Imperial Army, and they are seriously threatened by small and medium-sized heavy firepower spacecraft. Now the guys on the opposite side know that they are in the early stage. We have suffered a lot of losses and cannot form enough heavy firepower, so we are doing our best to clear out the friendly ships that they can hit."
The early warning radar once again issued a rapid alarm. This time it detected that a large number of mass collapse points were being generated within a few light seconds near the Imperial Army's position. They could be enemy assault troops, or a large group of jump warheads, or of course it could be A large piece of shiny bricks: The enemy commander we met this time was really elusive, and it didn't seem surprising what the opponent threw at him.
I felt someone tug on my sleeve, and I knew who it was without turning around - I could tell by the height of the person next to me.
"The general's guards are preparing to attack," I said to the communication station. "Cicaro, you withstand the enemy's heavy firepower and create a space for the Pandora sisters to display their fists and kicks."
And just as the two 1.2-meter-talls were excitedly running towards the transmitter and preparing to eject from the cabin, the intelligence officer suddenly reported an unexpected message:
"Your Majesty, we received a request for help - from a third party."
