Not to mention whether Zhuang Bifan's vision is long-term. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Sima Yun thinks it's good that he has that kind of consideration.

If there were no Reapers, whether he wanted to build a civilization or not, the galaxy he had now occupied was actually enough for him to develop. But not now.

The appearance of the reaper made Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun feel seriously threatened. They had to make a great effort to build up their armaments. Then they will only be able to carry out some relatively disruptive development of the developed galaxy. If you do this for a long time, the impact on the entire galaxy will be very large. So he had to spread the development efforts to reduce the pressure on the various galaxies.

And when he develops more and more, he also needs a broader space for development. Spreading the power doesn't seem like a good idea, but it's not a bad idea either. At least when you face a powerful enemy, you won't be wiped out. In particular, his power in his own galaxy cluster is likely to have been exposed, and if he can stealthily accumulate his power in other galaxies, it can also play a role in confusing the reaper.

So her questioning was not because she was angry, but just laughing with him.

However, she also thought of a question: "If you want to develop the surrounding galaxy, do you want to build a new mothership?"

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said: "It will definitely be built, but the number will not be too much, at least it will not be loaded into the mothership as it is now." ”

Coming out of the black flame space before, let alone the main battleship, even the command ship that was thousands of times larger could not safely pass through that black hole. Therefore, he could only fill all the motherships with the main battleships, and for this reason, there were still a large number of capital battleships in the Black Flame Space that had not been brought out. And he didn't have to build as many motherships now. It will definitely be built, and as for the specific quantity, he has not decided for the time being.

Sima Yun nodded and spoke.

She is well aware of the amount of resources needed to build a mothership. Even the resources of a general-class can build at least a million existing capital ships. If you build a large number of motherships, it will slow down the growth rate of power.

They were getting tired of being together, and the detection team suddenly reported: "Report to the marshal, there is a sudden commotion in the school of monkfish in space." ”

Zhuang Bifan looked up at the big screen, and in the observation video sent back by the reconnaissance ship sent for close observation, those space monkfish seemed to be killing each other. The corrosive beams of energy they emit attack each other, but not all space monkfish attack each other.

Sima Yun couldn't see it, so "What's wrong with them?"

Of course, Zhuang Bifan didn't know what was wrong.

They didn't intervene either, and only waited two days before they found out that those victors were mating.

Only then did Zhuang Bifan know that it was too much for him to stay here: "It turns out that they are aggressive in order to compete for the right to mate. I should have thought of it a long time ago. He thought it was to defend against predators, and he thought to see if he could find another large animal living in the universe.

Now that he thinks about it, only males have that kind of attack, and he should really think of this. But who would have thought that the competition for the right to mate would be so fierce?

Since his hope was disappointed, he had no intention of waiting any longer, and sent a few warships to catch more than a dozen new space monkfish for the research institute's follow-up research, and after leaving hundreds of reconnaissance ships, he continued to sail with the fleet to the next selected coordinate. The remaining reconnaissance ship is to collect signals in the galaxy to see if there is an advanced civilization, and by the way, to collect accurate star maps of the galaxy and data on the evolution of celestial bodies in the galaxy.

Within a galaxy, he would release hundreds of reconnaissance ships at three coordinates, and these coordinates would be formed into an equilateral triangle, also at the midpoint between the core and the edge of the galaxy. It could take years for the remaining reconnaissance ships to accurately map the star of this galaxy.

Take a tour of nearby celestial bodies worth looking at a coordinate, and they will leave. Or go to another coordinate in the same galaxy, or go to another galaxy.

They don't usually stay at one coordinate for more than ten days, and soon they're leaving detection ships in more than a dozen systems. Their next destination is the galaxy labeled E-000-213, an ancient galaxy, or a zombie galaxy.

A zombie galaxy is a type of galaxy that has basically lost its ability to make stars, and is usually a fairly mature galaxy. The galactic bodies are relatively stable, and there are very few new stars in other star fields, except for the core star field, which is relatively active.

Such galaxies are usually very old, and as long as there are suitable planets for survival, there is a high probability that there have been advanced civilizations. Of course, Black Flame has not found any signs of advanced civilization activity in this system. But there is an example of Youlan No. 1, Zhuang Bifan does not dare to take it lightly.

After he appeared in the system with his fleet, he did not use the mothership's detection system, but released hundreds of reconnaissance ships, kept them away from Task Force 1, and then sent light waves for active detection. The Hanwu and other motherships only carried out passive detection to see if there was any abnormal energy wave reaction.

Just as they had completed the displacement of the second coordinate point in the galaxy, a pitch-black spaceship was sailing less than 6,000 light-seconds from the displacement coordinates.

The spacecraft is not very large, and even if it is detected, it will only be thought to be a spherical asteroid with a small diameter. Zhuang Bifan would not have thought that an asteroid with a diameter of less than 300 meters would cause any harm to the task force.

The spherical spacecraft travels at a speed of about 100,000 kilometers per hour, which is also like an asteroid escaping the gravitational field, and it is not noticeable in the slightest.

But it's a spaceship after all, and it's manned in it. And the people inside have already detected Zhuang Bifan's task force.

The spaceship was small, and the main control room inside was not much bigger, and there were only seven or eight people operating in it.

In the captain's seat, there sat a man who exuded an oppressive aura all over his body. The man had a black mask on his face, and his face had facial features, but there were no holes in the mask for the position of the eyes.

He has long black hair, and a black cloak completely covers his figure, but it can be seen that he is slender, a pair of long legs are exposed from the cloak, black pants are not tight, and under his feet are a pair of black boots that I don't know what texture causes.

He propped his head in one hand and said in a man's voice, "I don't know how strong the combat power of such a warship is?" His voice had a sense of emptiness, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

The large screen in the main control room shows the thirty giant motherships of the task force.

There were only a few people in the main control room, and one of the operators in the middle of the console turned his chair and said to him, "It shouldn't be weak." It's just not known if they're Zafna or Deed's new mothership. But I don't think they're as strong as they are, but they can't beat a finger of the leader. ”

The masked man, known as the leader, let out a chuckle and said, "Zavna's forces are very loose, they won't waste resources to build such a mothership, and even if they do, they won't build so much. Deed is likely. I've heard that they like to use a large kicker system. ”

Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to be dismissive of the mothership, which was the size of a rocky planet. I just don't know why he has such a big breath.

However, his subordinates seem to agree: "Deed has taken the path of technological civilization, and his subordinates really like to use such large motherships." However, there are no seeds here, and it is a tangled area with Zafna. It's a little strange that they sent such a fleet. ”

"This is actually Deed's sphere of influence. The masked man said lightly. "There is a civilization in that group of galaxies more than 10 million light-years away in this star field, which is their planting area. ”

He laughed a little, and then said, "Besides, don't underestimate them, now I am far inferior to them!"

"Even if it's Deed, it's not the leader's opponent for you. What are these metal ships? The most hateful thing is actually the traitors!" the man said hatefully. "I don't understand why the chief let them ......"

"Alright!" the masked man interrupted him in a nonchalant tone. "I have my own decision!"

The man who spoke to the masked man knew the temperament of his leader, and although his tone was calm now, he was interrupted by a remark, and he knew that the leader was already a little impatient with him extracting those people. He kept his mouth shut.

The masked man looked at the big screen for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you think that recently, Deed and Zafna have been too calm?"

"What does the leader mean?" heard the masked man speak again, and the apprehension in the man's heart finally let go.

"Try them!"

"Yes!" the man's voice was still tinged with excitement. It's been a long time since they've been in this galaxy. A long voyage through the universe is boring.

After a while, a strange energy fluctuation appeared on the periphery of the "small" spaceship, and soon the energy fluctuation disappeared, and an energy line shot out from the surface of the sphere. This line of energy is not visible to the naked eye, and even if you can see it, you will find that it is as thin as a sewing needle, but it is a hundred times faster than the speed of light. The target of this leyline, which is more than a lightsecond long, is the direction of the task force.

After about a minute, a ball of light slowly appeared on the large screen of the spacecraft, and the light was like a new star appearing in the universe.

"Chief, we destroyed the target. However, only one of the motherships was destroyed. ”

The Masked Man seems to be quite happy with the result. But after a few seconds, he let out a soft "pout" and laughed, "We seem to have made a mistake." ”

His men knew immediately that they had made a mistake, that they had just received high-level interference from their targets, and that the energy characteristics of those interference sources did not belong to any of the civilizations they had ever recorded.

The masked man's voice seemed to have a hint of apology, but there was schadenfreude in his words, and he chuckled, "It seems that we have caused trouble for Died!"

"What does the leader mean?" his men were about to approach and continue the attack, but as soon as they heard him say this, they immediately heard that their own leader did not seem to have that intention.

"Let's go!" the masked man realizes that a civilization that is not weak has emerged on the territory of his old rival. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Of course, if the other party knew that he had killed one of their giant motherships, they would definitely not be willing to be friends with him. But the rest of the motherships are a headache for Deed.

"Yes. ”

The spherical spaceship suddenly disappeared in place. As if it had never appeared.

The spherical spaceship quietly left, but Zhuang Bifan fell into a state of anger.

The God of War-class mothership Wei Qing, which was in front of the Han Wu, exploded without warning!

A huge warship with a length of nine thousand six hundred kilometers was destroyed without any early warning reaction. He'd fought a few battles, but this was the first time he'd lost a mothership, and it was an Ares-of-war. can deal with a fatal attack at the god of war level, even if the Yanhuang encounters it, it may not be spared.

That also means that if he encounters this secret enemy in the future, he will have little power to fight back.

A god of war-level explosion [explosion], countless wreckage fragments flew around at high speed. The single-layer armor of the God of War class is more than five kilometers thick, and even if it is a small fragment, it is actually not small. Huge mass slammed into other motherships at high speed.

Fortunately, the distance between the motherships of the task force is not small, and although there is nowhere to hide from the debris in the sky, the close defense weapons on the mothership still react in time, and the other motherships are not too damaged. But almost all of the mothership's armor was damaged to varying degrees.

The Hanwu was inlaid with more than a dozen huge metal fragments, and those fragments smashed huge scars on them like a comet hitting the earth.

And the strong shock wave generated by the [explosion] explosion almost made the balance and stability device of the Hanwu almost fail. Sima Yun almost fell to the ground due to the violent shaking of the ship's hull.

Zhuang Bifan held her, but his eyes were fixed on the huge blue ball of light on the big screen. Seems to be stunned.

"How is that possible?" Sima Yun couldn't believe what he saw after he stood still. But she knew it wasn't the time to think about why it was happening. She looked at Zhuang Bifan and didn't seem to be able to accept such a reality. She gave instructions on his behalf. "Order all motherships to maneuver freely!" The most important thing now is to avoid the appearance of the next victim.

Zhuang Bifan was awakened by her words and added, "All motherships turn on the strongest energy level interference. Turn on the active detection system. The whole ship has entered the state of special operation. ”

After he gave a series of orders, he immediately asked, "Didn't you receive an abnormal signal from the Wei Qing?"

"Report to the marshal, the Wei Qing did not issue any abnormal reports before the [explosion] explosion. ”

In other words, the entire Weiqing was suddenly destroyed by the entire mothership, so fast that there was no time to even send a report.

This made Zhuang Bifan's only luck gone. If Wei Qing had an accident or something due to his own reasons, it would definitely not have been even a time to issue a report. If you don't feel surprised, you're being attacked. However, he did not receive any reaction from the attack energy, and it was impossible for a kinetic weapon to inflict that kind of damage.

He was about to ask questions, when the communication group suddenly reported: "Xiahou Yuan sent a report that an ultra-high-speed energy radiation source was detected, and the energy hit the Wei Qing. ”

Almost at the same time, the detection team reported: "Detected an anomalous energy signature reaction before the explosion of the Weiqing. Energy characteristics are unknown. ”

Immediately afterward, several motherships sent reports of detection of hypervelocity energy radiation sources.

There is no doubt that the damage to the Weiqing was due to an attack.

"Huo Qu sent a communication and detected a suspicious target, and the target disappeared within a short time after being detected. ”

The reports sent by the various motherships in the fleet were connected in series, and Zhuang Bifan roughly understood what was going on.

A wave of energy that was more than a hundred times the speed of light hit the Weiqing. This energy instantly filled the entire Weiqing. Then the Wei Qing suddenly became a ball of light, and tens of thousands of capital warships, millions of mechas, and more than 500 million androids were annihilated.

A God of War-class ship was destroyed, and the losses brought to Zhuang Bifan far exceeded any previous battle.

The sudden sneak attack of the enemy is terrifying. But what made Zhuang Bifan's heart palpitate was not the loss on the Wei Qing, but from the various reports, what he saw was that the energy was shooting from the Xiahou Yuan's side to the direction of the immortal body. And the Hanwu is also on the path of this energy radiation source. It's just that Wei Qing is also there, and Wei Qing is in front of Han Wu.

The energy projection speed is more than 100 times the speed of light, and the power can directly destroy a Ares mothership. If the Hanwu hadn't stopped in front of him, what would he have done now? Maybe he would have turned into cosmic dust like the androids on the Weiqing.

And the sneak attack on him is almost certainly the one who is not a heavenly body. And it suddenly disappeared.

His heart jumped, and he hurriedly ordered: "Order the fleet to maintain a high-speed maneuver and release the reconnaissance ship at the same time." All ships remain in special combat status. ”

After reading the summary of those reports, Sima Yun was also shocked in his heart, the attack of the sneak attacker was too strong. Her fear was that if the Reaper had done it, no amount of mothership would have been a target in the face of that kind of attack.

She looked at Zhuang Bifan, took his hand and said, "Otherwise, let's evacuate temporarily!" She was worried that the sneak attack battleship was still wandering around, and if the other party attacked again, they would only suffer greater losses.

Zhuang Bifan watched the process of Wei Qing's attack, and his heart slowly settled down. But he also knew that such an enemy was not to be underestimated.

His hands tightened slightly, and he turned his head to her and said, "Don't worry, maybe the sneak attacker has already left." If the Celestial Body is a sneak attacker, it won't be able to accommodate the energy system that allows it to attack continuously. Otherwise, it won't go away. ”

Sima Yun thought for a moment and felt that since the task force could detect the other party at a distance of thousands of light seconds, there would be nothing to hide in the detection field of the mothership. But at such a distance, they simply couldn't do anything to each other. If the other party wants to continue attacking, they will definitely not hide immediately.

Zhuang Bifan is actually not as relieved as his mouth says. An enemy capable of unleashing such an attack is highly likely to surpass Black Flame in terms of skill level. The UFO was too small for his mothership, and if the opponent already had the ability to stealth under the light waves, the opponent only needed to get close to the distance of 200 light-seconds. The task force would not be able to evade its attack.

The opponent's energy projection speed is too fast, more than 100 times the speed of light, and it can attack at an ultra-long distance of nearly 6,000 light-seconds. Judging from the information gathered by the various motherships, the energy response of the attack is similar to the compressed energy of the mothership's main gun. It's just that the opponent is faster and has a longer range. And the attack is even more secretive.

If he encounters a large number of such warships, his only option is to escape. Because his fleet seems to be very powerful, but the opponent can attack at will from a hundred light seconds, and his fleet, facing an enemy from a hundred light seconds, the attack will hardly have any effect. Although the speed of the condensation energy mass exceeds the speed of light, it is too slow compared to the opponent's attack. Moreover, the opponent's battleship is very small, and it is definitely flexible in maneuver, and it is more difficult to hit.

However, it was precisely because such an enemy was terrible that he felt that he should stay. He needs to find out as much as possible about the other party's purpose. He turned his head to Sima Yun and said, "You go to the main battleship." I'll release all the main ships later. ”

Sima Yun glared at him and said, "Don't go!"

She knew that if the other side continued to attack, a large target like the mothership would be the target of the other party's attack. Zhuang Bifan asked her to go to the main battleship, which was to let her avoid danger. But how could she leave him alone in danger.

Zhuang Bifan smiled, and didn't persuade again, only said: "Okay! ”

The fleet has entered a state of emergency operation, and all the warships and mechs carried in the mothership must be ready to be dispatched at any time. About ten minutes later, the battleship was already ready on board the Hanwu.

When Zhuang Bifan received the news, he immediately ordered them to attack. And those reconnaissance ships are all dispatched, far away from the fleet and actively detecting. Other motherships are doing the same.

Zhuang Bifan frowned and kept waiting. But after more than an hour, except for the hustle and bustle of the task force, there was not the slightest abnormality in the entire star field.

The more Sima Yun waited, the more nervous she became. Because the more time passes, if the opponent is still lurking near the task force, the stronger the energy that the opponent has accumulated, and the more likely it is to launch the next attack.

But after waiting for so long, the active detection of all battleships did not find a trace of the enemy. Her heart that had been hanging slowly let go. She turned to Zhuang Bifan and said, "Maybe it's gone." ”

Zhuang Bifan also had such thoughts, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, because the other party was too terrible. A venomous snake, even if it only appears once, no matter how long it takes, it is still terrifying.

He pondered for a moment and ordered most of the capital battleships to return to the mothership, leaving only a few to search for any survivors on the Weiqing. At the same time, let some of the reconnaissance ships continue to stay outside for detection.

After giving those orders, he said to Sima Yun: "Don't worry, the enemy should have left." He felt the sweat in her palms and knew she was nervous.

Sima Yun nodded and said, "Otherwise, let's go back!"

Zhuang Bifan pursed his lips, still shook his head and said, "No, we must investigate who the enemy is." Even if you can't find it, you must find out if there are any powerful civilizations in these galaxies. ”

"Maybe the other party is just a wandering civilization. Sima Yun couldn't believe this. If they have that kind of combat power, what kind of civilization can make them a wandering civilization?
