Chapter 270: The Matrix?
Fang Ning stopped in this galaxy for a while, and hid behind a meteorite and no one noticed it.
I'm used to seeing the horror of the Titans firing and the huge mobile fortress pouring firepower, and it's fun to watch rookies peck at each other once in a while.
There is not much difference between the two small fleets, and the weapons used are also a mixture of third-level and fourth-level weapons, and the difference in combat power is not very large, and the two fleets are scattered under the command of their respective commanders, entangled back and forth in the void, and you chase after me, which is quite intense.
"Bang!"
A medium-sized X-ray laser beam hit the meteorite where Fang Ning was hiding, blowing up a room-sized gap, and through the evaluation of the scientific research ship's combat computer, it was quickly concluded that the power of this cannon was about 120.
He took another look at a star energy laser cannon on the M medium weapon slot equipped with his research ship—
Star Energy Laser Cannon (Type M): A Level 8 energy weapon that fires high-energy star energy beams at enemies.
Damage: 1500-2200.
Charge time: 0.3 seconds.
Base Cooldown: 3 seconds.
Hit: 100%.
Range: 12000 km.
Average damage: /sec.
Fixed: +100% armor damage.
Fixed: +50% hull damage.
This is just an eighth-level M medium-slot weapon, with a power of up to two thousand two, which is already larger than the average L large slot weapon, and is almost close to the ordinary X-slot main gun.
The power of a single weapon is nothing, but when all the weapons of an entire civilization are so powerful, the gap between them will be terrifying, completely crushing.
The rookies pecked at each other for a while, feeling that they were not bored, and the Returner slowly started to float up from the meteorite and flew towards the other side of the galaxy.
But as soon as he flew to the center of the galaxy and approached the star, the wormhole energy in the orbit of the nearest planet of the star surged, and a fleet of five battleships led by five battleships and composed of five or six hundred large and small warships came out of the wormhole, and immediately an exaggerated communication spread throughout the galaxy:
"Iron Horse Xinghe, you and I have always been well water and not river water, if you don't give me an explanation today, even if you come to this seat, you won't give face."
“?”
Fang Ning leaned forward slightly, his face was surprised, and he couldn't help but pluck out his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
After thinking about it, he stretched out his finger and forcibly took over the communication of the three fleets in the galaxy, and two faces that he hadn't seen for a long time but still had some familiar eyes appeared on the light curtain in front of him.
"It's an acquaintance, but how did you end up here?"
At this time, Fang Ning already had a bad premonition in his heart, his 60 billion star yuan, shouldn't it be a waste?
After thinking about it, I directly initiated a contact application to these two parties.
Soon the communication was connected, and the light curtain in front of him became agile for a moment, and the big-tailed Langcha stared at Fang Ning for a moment, and asked with a frown:
"Who are you? What's the matter with me? ”
On the other side, Iron Horse Xinghe, who was more mature than at the beginning, also looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Well, it's been too long for both of them to forget who he is.
Fang Ning looked at the two of them with his hands around him, and he didn't beat around the bush, and said directly:
"I'm Fang Ning, your creditor!"
Big Tail Langcha was obviously stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and he sat there without speaking for a while.
On the other side, the Iron Horse Xinghe smiled:
"It turned out to be Uncle Fang Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Uncle Fang Ning......
He touched his head speechlessly, am I so old?
But it's not wrong for people to call it that, at that time, he and Iron Horse Xinghe's father cooperated on an equal footing to win the Benhatar system, and at that time, Iron Horse Xinghe had not yet come out to take power, and his rank was naturally one level lower, so it was right.
However, Fang Ning was not in the mood to dwell on what to call it, he asked very simply:
"I remember that you took the planet Hattar and became a lord, how did you run here now? What about the Iron Horse Glacier? ”
The Iron Horse Galaxy looked gloomy and shook his head and said:
"The star of Hatar is gone."
"Robbed?"
"No, it was four years ago that XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator came over again, ꓹ We were defeated and evacuated, they blew up the planet into a dead planet ꓹ Now the star of Hatar is gone, ꓹ My father can't stand this blow ꓹ retreat."
Fang Ning: ........
The mouth opened several times, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
The planets are blown up, and that debt ......
Theoretically, this debt is still there, but looking at their pitiful appearance now, ꓹ probably can't afford to pay it back.
"Lost!"
He didn't know what to say, but after thinking for a while, he sighed and said:
"Now that the planet is gone, that debt..."
He paused and said:
"One person also pays three million, which means something."
Three billion becomes three million, which is ten thousand times less.
For the sake of rare acquaintances, forget it.
However, after he said this, both of them showed embarrassed expressions at the same time, and Fang Ning's eyes widened.
"I'll go, can't it be that there are no three million, how bad is this?"
The three parties looked at each other awkwardly for a while, and just when he decided not to settle this account at all, the big tail Langcha said:
"Brother Fang Ning, how about this, I'll take three frigates to cover these three million."
"Me too."
.......
"Forget it, I'm out to play now, the big army isn't here, I don't have the time to take six frigates around."
Fang Ning squatted on the command seat with a gloomy expression.
He wouldn't say that he didn't look down on these broken ships.
An hour later, a research ship left the system with six frigates.
In the hyperspace channel, Fang Ning Geyou was lying on the command chair, looking at the starry sky dome of the spaceship with a blank face, and after a lot of effort, he still didn't shirk it in the end, and still brought these six oil bottles.
Depressed is not depressed, just a little sigh.
At the beginning, Iron Horse Binghe planned for so long to grab the planet of Hatar, and became a lord as he wished, but he didn't expect to be gone in a few years.
XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator re-arrived there after a lapse of many years, blowing up the entire planet of Hattar to the ground of silence, and burning the foundation of the planet for many years.
Iron Horse Glacier was destroyed for many years, and he had a heart attack that did not slow down for a while, and had to quit the game, and his son Iron Horse Galaxy left the Benhatar system to wander around the world, and finally settled in this imperial colonial enclave.
And the dispute between the Iron Horse Galaxy and the Big Tail Langcha has continued from more than ten years ago to the present, and no one can help anyone.
That's really ......
He didn't know what to say.
Encountering these two by chance, Benhatar naturally didn't have to go anymore, and the Returner adjusted its direction and went straight to the direction of the Imperial Enclave's Colony Star.
It didn't take long for the ship to enter the Imperial enclave, and after registering at the border, it obtained a map of the enclave, and the ship adjusted its direction again.
Fang Ning has never been to this star field, he has never heard of it before, it is really too huge for the galaxy, even if it is this Orion spiral arm, the range between each star region is amazingly large, let's just say that this enclave star field with the Far East No. 1 Colony Star as the core only accounts for less than one-tenth of the star field in the fifth star area, but the actual area is not inferior to the isolated star field.

There are five colonies in this star field, namely Far East 1 and 5, where the Empire has set up a province in the Far East and a governor to manage the enclave.
Although it is directly under the empire, in fact, the governor is the emperor here, and he is no different from the lord.
Entering the interior of the Far Eastern Province, the number of players began to increase, Fang Ning entered the regional forum where the Far Eastern Province was located, and found that the number of players in this area was unexpectedly large, the total number was about 11 billion, which was five times that of the Isolated Star Field.
The total number of players in the current isolated star field has exceeded two billion, but most of them are mobile players, who come from all over the Galactic Empire to play, or go to the Silver Heart Region and the newly opened river system through the terminal exit galaxy, which belongs to the floating population, and the fixed population is only about seven or eight hundred million now.
This can't be helped, the isolated star field is too small after all, and its own attraction is insufficient, in order to rule, the lord's mansion cut off most of the hyperspace shipping lanes, cut off the entire isolated star field, and all the galaxies in the entire isolated star field are included in the territory control.
As a result, there is almost no area left for players to explore, and the warstream players who are still left in the isolated star field are basically looking at the battleships produced in the territory are too powerful.
A very long time ago, Fang Ning issued a decree that only territory players are eligible to buy high-level warships produced in the territory, plus consciously purge some former wall grass players, and now there are not many war stream players who are eligible to continue to stay in the territory.
Except for the three directly subordinate legions, there are few other scattered player legions.
However, although the subordinate forces are few, they are powerful, and with all level 6 technology and star template warships, any subordinate guild has the strength that is not inferior to any regular legion.
Five days later, the fleet appeared in the Far East 1 Colonial System, the capital of the Far Eastern Province.
After a short stay here, he sold the six frigates, and then went to the base camp to report, and then left the Far East One Colony and headed for the fourth sector where the XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator is located.
Unlike other players, he doesn't have mandatory missions to speak of and can move freely.
First, take a look at the Ironcore Exterminator territory and see if there are any valuable targets.
Coming out of Far East 1 Colony Star, passing through the hyperspace channel to a transit galaxy, and jumping another long-distance hyperspace channel, you will enter an important galaxy on the border of the Far Eastern Province.
It is a triad of galaxies, with three stars orbiting each other in a triangle, and a fortress-level space station in the center of the galaxy, with two fortress-type dwelling stations, where a large number of players converge and cross the wormhole to enter the territory of the Ironcore Exterminator.
As soon as he entered the galaxy, Fang Ning received an invitation message that had been set up early:
"**** invites you to join the 'Intelligence Exchange Channel for the War between the Empire and the XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator Civilization'."
Yes, that's how long the name is.
The first four stars are not shielded, but this setting is for all players who enter the galaxy, and there is no specific inviter.
Fang Ning thought about it and agreed to join.
A light curtain instantly popped up in front of him, and a long stream of information swiped down, and at the same time, an additional pop-up window popped up, which said that the specific role of this so-called intelligence exchange channel was intelligence exchange and trading.
Many players are not strong enough to participate in the war, so they venture into the territory of the XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator civilization to explore various intel, which can be sold to players in need.
Fang Ning glanced at it casually, and saw a few seductive titles at the top of the forum-
"XT-459 Iron Core Exterminator internal star map, containing more than eighty percent of the coordinates of the Iron Core Exterminator galaxy except for the galaxy near the capital, please chat privately if you need it!"
"XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator Colony Star 'Wireless' and the specific information of the surrounding star fields, including the configuration information of the garrison fleet, please chat privately if you need it!"
"XT-459 Iron Core Exterminator Colony Star 'Circuit' and the specific information of the surrounding star fields, including the configuration information of the garrison fleet, please chat privately if you need it!"
........ Below is a long list of intel containing more than a dozen Ironcore Exterminator colonies.
Fang Ning only glanced at it and skipped it, and continued to look down until he stopped at a certain point of information and clicked in.
"XT-459 The living display star in the Iron Core Exterminator star field and the specific information around it, including the configuration information of the garrison fleet, are shared free of charge without requirements."
This was quite surprising to him, and he clicked in, and the next second his face became gloomy.
The information is fine, it is true, but the content of this post makes him a little uncomfortable.
The so-called living furnishings, simply put, are a creation used to serve their own civilization, such as robots, which gradually replaced the main functions of the entire society, and developed to the point of losing the control of the creator.
However, they still firmly remember their original mission, that is, the core code of protecting organic life has not changed, for this reason, no matter how much they have done, including the development of science and technology, space exploration, etc., no matter how far this mechanical civilization has developed, their belief has not changed, or to protect organic life.
But there is a problem here, although the core code has not changed, but this mechanical civilization has lost control after all, and has become a new civilization dominated by robots, and then in the face of the original creator, its civilization and the core code conflict, the final result is .....
The original creator was compulsorily protected, concentrated in a place where space was maximized, and the robot took care of it meticulously, providing sufficient food and consumer goods, so that it could keep eating, sleeping, and eating, like raising pigs.
This situation has a technical term in the universe, called a runaway servant.
However, in the case of the XT-459 Ironcore Exterminator civilization, this situation has taken a new turn.
After all, it is an extinct civilization, not an out-of-control servant, and the ironcore exterminators are even more cruel in their treatment of organic creatures.
According to this document, the Ironcore Exterminator specially made a planetary modification, stuffing all the captured organic creatures into the planet, throwing them into special freezers, and injecting nutrients into them to ensure that the organic organisms in the freezers can survive.
Then a network covering the entire planet was established on the planet, and all the spirits of organic creatures were forcibly connected to the network, living in the network from birth to death, while the physical body in reality was maintained under the control of the robot, and a steady stream of extracted biological energy was collected.
To put it simply, the content on this piece of information reminded Fang Ning of a movie called 'The Matrix', and everything in the movie was so similar to this robot planet called 'Organic'.
