Chapter 876 The Invisible Devourer

Chapter 876 The Invisible Devourer

In fact, I have discovered that my greatest strength may not be my ability to fight, nor my ability to save the world, nor my ability to turn any serious matter into a sitcom, or even my ability to feed a queen with a big stomach that can devour the world and the world. A group of little girls who can destroy the world, but...

But being able to keep getting into trouble and enjoying it endlessly.

Okay, that’s too shameful to say. Can I remove the fun? There are so many troubles all day long, how can you be so heartless in talking about it to get out of it! Anyway, I can't be happy.

The brief information of less than seven seconds sent back by the Void Scout Ship No. 8355 has been analyzed over and over again. The headquarters' resident Xiling host has retrieved every pixel and every syllable of it, even including There may be low noise mixed in the background sound and shadows reflected by certain reflective areas on the screen. She used this simple but effective method to collect intelligence, hoping to find out what happened to the 8355 spacecraft at the last second before losing contact. Technicians also checked the attenuation of the signal strength of this message during the transmission process. It is said that this clue will help discover whether there was a high-level information interception such as a void barrier nearby when the crashed spacecraft sent the final message. things. If there is a void barrier around the crashed spacecraft when it sends the final message, then even if the barrier is still latent (this kind of trap will not actively expose itself before the prey trapped in it starts the void teleportation), the message sent by the spacecraft Slight waveform distortion will also occur, which is the experience summed up by the imperial soldiers in their years of war.

However, the chance of obtaining useful information from these attempts is very low. According to the current situation, the void reconnaissance ship No. 8355 lost contact with the headquarters when it was completely unresponsive. Before that, there were no signs of enemy attack near it. When it disappeared, the spacecraft itself was not attacked. If their loss of contact was indeed due to an attack, then I can only say that the enemy was overwhelming.

Sandora ordered the release of three void probes. These probes have now entered the void realm and are fine-tuning their information characteristics to slowly approach the last "position" of the 8355 spacecraft before losing contact. This process is a bit Similar to tuning an old radio, you carefully turn the channel selector until its variable capacitor suddenly overlaps with a certain channel, and you will receive a signal - for a traveler in the void, it means you have arrived at the station. .

Although all types of probes have excellent concealment capabilities, they still choose a very cautious speed to approach the "crash site" and maintain a unit of "distance" from each other, which is a conventionally understood distance in the void. is meaningless. The distance between the probes is actually the difference in their information representations. A difference of one unit can ensure that they will not fall into an enemy ambush at the same time, and can also ensure that when one of the probes is attacked, The other two probes still have a chance to report back the situation.

However, while everyone waited with bated breath, the three probes passed through the "coordinates" of the crash of spacecraft 8355 one after another. When they entered the void and disordered band, they returned nothing.

"The target point is blank. No wreckage of the void reconnaissance ship has been found, and there are no traces of a battle breaking out in the void field," a low-level officer responsible for tracking the probe reported loudly, "The probe is ready for the second sniff..."

"The second sniffing is completed, the target point is still blank, and no wreckage of the void reconnaissance ship has been found."

"Can such a big spaceship disappear out of thin air?" I turned to look at Sandora, who was still frowning, and suddenly guessed, "Could it be that it was beaten to pieces and was assimilated into the void in an instant?"

"Impossible," the person who answered me was not the Queen, but Bingtis who suddenly teleported over. This female gangster with a powerful weapon bit her potato chips unconsciously while stuffing the remaining half pack of snacks to Sandora. "I know what your void reconnaissance ship is. It can be said to be one of the most difficult things to destroy among the conventional spaceships you have built. It is a small spaceship that can travel at will in the void field. Thinking about it gives me a headache. , it has no weapons, but it is extremely slippery. It is like a fish in the void. It can jump into a blank 'coordinate' and escape from the battlefield within a thousandth of a second when it is attacked. And that thing seems to have some kind of core... "

Sandora glanced at Bingtis with a strange expression: "The multi-character morphic core is the escape capsule of the void reconnaissance ship."

"Yes, the multi-characteristic core is a strange thing that will not be injured in the first blow no matter what kind of blow it suffers, because it is said that it is under three contradictory mathematical descriptions at any time, and everything can cause real Damage attacks are destined to be unable to destroy its three states at the same time. "I didn't expect Bingtis to be so clear-cut when talking about the imperial spaceship, even though she usually claimed repeatedly that she was helpless against Xiling's high technology," Therefore, if the void reconnaissance ship is destroyed under any circumstances, at least one escape capsule will be saved."

"Then it's invincible?" I spread my hands, my expression a little confused, "The Eternal Mothership doesn't have such a configuration, right?"

Bingtis glanced at me sideways: "There are specialties in the art industry, but you are so awesome that you can't catch the little bubble!"

I looked up to the sky and laughed, and then suddenly remembered something: "I said, you are a protoss, how come you know so much about our spaceship?"

Bingtis's face suddenly changed, and he said unnaturally: "Of course I have frequent contact with Shandora when I was having trouble..."

"Every time she comes to my territory, she will cause a lot of trouble," Sandora said in a different way. "If the situation becomes urgent, I will send a fleet to hunt her down."

After listening to this, I broke into a cold sweat on my forehead. Listen, chase her. Bingtis thought that she must have been a very angry person back then. She made her good friend even say the words "hunt her." Of course, we can also do it. Let me lament the way high-end people communicate with each other. Generally, the most bad friends in college are to expose each other's past and make some secret remarks. But were the two girls in front of me directly chasing each other back and forth back then?

After thinking about it for a while, I decided not to investigate what the scene was like when Sandora sent a fleet to hunt down Bingtis. I always felt that after thinking about this issue for a long time, everyone would be infected with the Pandora virus.

"Bingtis is right," Sandora solved the potato chips and the packaging of potato chips in three strokes, with halo flowing in her eyes, "The void reconnaissance ship is a cutting-edge special service that can survive in any extreme situation. Unless the ship is intercepted by the regular army of the gods or besieged by a large group of imperial fleets, no external force can make it disappear in such an instant... I think it was not attacked, but was eaten by something...?"

Shandora said three words uncertainly. I think she could relate to this word, and the half pack of potato chips just now played the most important role.

At Sandora's signal, the three void probes shuttled back and forth several times near the coordinates where spacecraft 8355 disappeared, but found nothing. We began to think hard about what clues we had missed - well, it was Sandora La and Bingtis were thinking hard. After thinking about it for a few minutes, I realized that I was really not the type of person with a high IQ.

At this time, my sister also rushed over after hearing the news, and she also brought Pandora and Viska, who were already covered with weapons. The two of them were 1.2 meters tall and clanked like model versions of the Terminator. They appeared in front of everyone, holding each other in their arms. A cannon that could be used to build a cross-sea bridge was being disassembled and assembled there.

They both believed that the imperial sentry had been attacked by an enemy.

"The spaceship disappeared, but the probe found nothing?" My sister learned about the situation in detail, began to analyze it bit by bit with her own careful thinking, and then said slowly, "I have a stupid way."

We all looked at her together.

"Send another spaceship over," Sister said seriously. "Of course, there will be no crew this time. Find a reconnaissance ship that is the same as the missing spacecraft, use autonomous mode to fly to the crash coordinates, and then send the previous one All the operations of the ship before losing contact were repeated exactly as they were, and the three probes were watching from a safe distance. In this way, although we may not be able to find the first ship, at least we can have a look at the ship. How come it’s not there?”

Sandora immediately nodded: "It is indeed worth a try, and pl-15 has recently uploaded a lot of information about the Revenge Fleet. Tavel has improved the automatic control systems of many warships based on them, including the two 'Needle' class voids that are about to enter service. Scout ships, let them board.”

In this way, the "stupid method" my sister called me was unanimously agreed by everyone, and I discovered something very sadly: my brain may be hopeless. It took me fifteen seconds to come up with a plan. And in the three minutes I was thinking just now, I went off topic and went to what to eat tonight. Although this may mean that I and Qianqian really get along well as a couple, but if I continue to go further and further on this road of going off topic at any time, then The best outcome for me in the future may be to find a psychological counselor to spend the rest of my life. Look, it's only been a few seconds, what was I thinking about?

"Ajun, what's wrong?" My sister asked curiously when she saw that I didn't speak for a long time, "Is there something wrong with this method?"

I thought for a while: "Do you think a psychiatrist can cure a blind person?"

Everyone: "..."

Sandora squeezed my back hard and ordered the second scout ship to set off immediately.

The most appropriate way to describe the efficiency of the reconnaissance ship is to use it to describe the efficiency of the reconnaissance ship. Not long after Sandora's order was issued, the highly automated spacecraft that had just entered service had entered the void and moved closer to where the first spacecraft had lost contact. However, since there are no crew members, no matter how high the degree of self-discipline is, there is a limit. The mission of this spacecraft is only to serve as a pathfinding stone. Under the command of the shipboard host computer, the spacecraft turned off the information correction engine and began to reduce the output of the power unit. At the same time, it released the shipboard probe and turned on various active and passive detection devices. Up to this point, everything was normal. Three voids The probe is in a safe "position" (this position is for ease of understanding. In fact, there is no distance between the three probes and the second spacecraft at all. They observe each other just like we are watching thousands of miles away through TV. The live broadcast, which is very close in terms of information, but not geographically, has locked the spacecraft, and the data shows that it is operating well.

Several of us, including Bingtis, the female hooligan, became serious and watched the scene back with bated breath. The information shield of the silver-white battleship, which was streamlined and looked like some kind of plant seed pod, constantly repels the surrounding void power. The assimilation effect made it appear as if it was shrouded behind a constantly fluctuating water curtain, and then, right in front of all of us, it just disappeared out of thin air...

Yes, it disappeared out of thin air!

There was no sign at all, no attack, no jumping away, and no sudden void rift dragging it into another world. The scout ship suddenly disappeared in an absolutely abnormal way, just like a light bulb with poor contact. It flickered for a moment, and then completely merged into the endless darkness of the void.

The three void probes simultaneously sent back piercing alarm sounds, and a loud report from the junior officer in charge of commanding the probes rang out in the hall: "Report sir! The target has disappeared and the tracking failed!"

Me, my sister, Sandora, and Bingtis, the four of us looked at each other in confusion. Not far away, the Pandora sisters, who had been dismantling and assembling a large amount of arms since just now, stopped what they were doing and spoke in a very tacit understanding. He put away his pile of treasures and said: "I can't fight, I can't find the enemy."

"There must be something there."

Sandora crossed her arms and frowned at the slow-motion video before the second spacecraft disappeared, "Turn off the engine, release the probe, turn on the radar... Which step activated the trap lurking there... The reconnaissance ship It shouldn’t have been destroyed, but it doesn’t seem like it was teleported to another world… Neither of the two spacecrafts sent back a distress signal, indicating that something blocked the signal transmission…”

While Sandora was muttering her guess in a low voice, her elder sister had already thought of another thing. She looked at Bingtis and asked in her signature soft but irresistible voice. : "You have sent observers there before, right?"

Bingtis nodded: "Yes, I have been here for more than a thousand years, and I was almost recorded as being killed in the line of duty."

I quickly answered: "If I were God the Father, I would lock you in confinement for a thousand years if I encountered such a child."

Bingtis immediately poked me in the arm: "In that case, all the houses in the God Realm will have to be converted into solitary rooms - we are too insensitive to time. In serious cases, we may even forget to come out of the solitary room. In the end, sir Just ask outside."

I was immediately fascinated by such subordinates. If Sicaro could throw himself into the solitary room and forget about it, how much effort can I save? The saved urban management power is conservatively estimated to be enough to complete the construction of Gaolaozhuang in three days. It's become Manhattan...

Then Shandora and my elder sister hit me and Bingtis on the head with a knife, and shouted in a particularly hateful tone: "Be serious!"

The difference is that Sandora is very stern towards Bingtis, while my sister shows me the kind of doting look that makes people dare not resist but feels very enjoyable. I have seen this kind of look for twenty years. Can't get tired of watching it.

"It has been a thousand years without being hit, which means that the things lurking here are useless to the gods," Sister analyzed clearly, "and the void probe has not disappeared, which means that it is very likely that only the energy intensity or volume reaches a certain level. Things will only be swallowed up if they reach a certain level, Bingtis, you are an expert, after a world is destroyed, will such an invisible pit form?"

"Do you suspect that after the world was destroyed, it turned into a trap that could swallow up psionic units?" Bingtis understood what her sister meant, "I haven't heard that the gods and Xiling apostles have different powers. If that world is The Xiling fleet was destroyed, and only its destroyer knows the situation..."

As we said that, a few of us turned our attention to Huesca, who was squatting on the ground drawing little figures with chalk. After noticing the sights around him, he immediately raised his head and smiled at us innocently.

"Of course there are times when the Destroyer is unclear."

Bingtis became dejected.

"Inform the Garden of Death," I looked at everyone and said nothing, and put forward my final opinion, "This is already an abnormal situation. I estimate that no matter how much conventional investigation methods are used, it will be in vain."

Everyone seconded the idea - I have come up with a constructive idea!

As a law-level facility, the Garden of Death system is rarely used. In most cases, what we need it for is its super powerful spying ability. As the core of a world fragment that was almost assimilated by the void, Garden of Death "Born" has the ability to easily penetrate the void to collect information. Its observation equipment has two components. One part is the large circle square located in the center of Avalon, which serves as an information operation terminal. The other part directly uses the original Avalon's predecessor was transformed from the semi-void boundary "matter" of the world fragments. These components are permanently fixed in the void and exist in an incomprehensible state, just like countless objects stretching into the void. With the help of tentacles or roots, the interference experienced by the Garden of Death when monitoring information from the depths of the void is infinitely close to zero.

Another function of the Garden of Death: limited rewriting of the laws of the universe for any target while crossing the world, has only been used a few times. This ability is indeed very powerful, even better than in some aspects. The "War Song" planetary fortress we recently captured (that thing is still being repaired now, of course, I doubt whether Tavel is going to repair it before completely tearing it into pieces) is even better, but it's a pity Its usefulness is also too limited: have you ever seen anyone in a street fight take out two dozen Iron Fist rocket launchers and spray each other on the spot?

For all the reasons mentioned above, the Death Garden, a very important imperial armament, is even less well-known than ordinary border troops in most cases. Many servant soldiers have only seen the name of this thing from the enlistment manual, while the Death Garden As the manager, the 1.7 meter version of Artemis has become the most leisurely of all weapons depot managers.

So as soon as we heard that the Garden of the Dead was about to be launched, Artemis appeared in front of us almost jumping up and down, with a small note plastered on her face. Of course, this was not fun, but the fun was that she was riding alone. There are also a few small notes stuck on the horned beast's face. How cruel is this? She played poker with a horse and lost...

I began to wonder how strange the daily life of the idlers in Avalon was.
