Chapter 75: The Strangeness of My Mother
"Bastards stick their heads out and let me give you a buff!!"
With the night crow's uncontrollable shouting, the entire fleet maximized the power of her mother's amplification under her precise fire control.
A saturation salvo produced the effect that had only been produced by several previous salvos, and the entire Purifier fleet lost nearly six layers of ships almost instantly.
However, this magnificent result did not make everyone happy for long, because the red giant star began to fly out of the new enemy army in a steady stream.
"Damn, can't those guys on the other side be hanging!"
After such a long time, even the soldiers of the alliance realized that something was wrong, and Hatania, who was standing in the bridge and kept an eye on the battlefield, slammed his fist on the command platform.
On the other hand, Mother didn't immediately withdraw from the psionic state after boosting the entire fleet, she still maintained this state, and suddenly spoke-
"Those battleships...... It's all mirrors. ”
Coral noticed that her mother's voice was different from her usual energetic state when she spoke.
There was no emotion, and the voice like the purest rational machine made Coral a little stunned.
O'Neill has noticed this as well, but he's more concerned about the situation right now.
"First Imperial Princess, what do you mean by 'mirror image'?"
Mother still said in that bland voice that couldn't help but be a little creepy, "Those warships are all fake, or they are actually clones, and if you look closely, you will find that not only has the number of Purifiers not changed since the beginning of the battle, but the configuration of their warships has not changed much. ”
"Actually, the warships that we destroyed were all reproduced by some kind of force inside that red giant."
"The group of guys on the other side, except for a very small number, most of the rest are unmanned ships, these unmanned ships have been copied by mirrors again and again after being eliminated by us again and again - from the beginning we have been fighting with the other party's mirror replicas, and their battleship bodies have been hidden inside the red giant."
"At the same time, it's precisely because we're actually fighting a group of mirror images that they're so miserable - they're far more numerous than before, but they're on par with the previous two battles."
After saying that, the mother suddenly blinked, and the expression on her face returned to vividness.
She looked left and right, and found that everyone was staring at her strangely, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheek and say shyly, "Huh? What are you all staring at me? I'm sorry...... I'm married! ”
Everyone: "............"
"The ......," Coral said tentatively, "Lady Princess, do you remember what you just said?" ”
“……???”
Mother tilted her head, and a series of question marks popped up on her head.
"What did you say? Didn't I just use psionic energy to boost the fleet's firepower? ”
Coral recounted what had just happened in detail, and her mother's eyes widened and she said, "Emma, am I still awakened to the second personality!?" ”
"I'm afraid not."
Coral furrowed her brow, disagreeing with her mother's speculation.
"Even if it's a second personality, it's impossible to know out of thin air that is completely beyond the scope of one's own information acquisition - Lord First Emperor, you just revealed the secret of the Purifier, which is obviously not something that a second personality can do."
Mother looked down at her body: "Could it be that I'm still a big boss?" ”
====Girl resting====
With his mother's explanation, O'Neill immediately made the most reasonable judgment.
"Attention of the whole ship, the vanguard commando team attacked again, and after breaking the enemy formation, the first formation immediately carried out a round of saturation fire!"
"Tear open a hole to the stars behind the enemy, the second to third formations will immediately cover with fire, and the whole ship will break into the interior of the target planet!"
"From now on, the fourth formation will stop fire strikes, and all the energy output of the reactor will be used to supply the combined shield!"
"The fifth formation stays on the battlefield and pins down the enemy forces outside! General Nasenil stayed behind to command the fifth formation! ”
"Alliance fleet, your warships do not yet have the ability to enter the interior of the stars, and now I order you to return immediately!"
After a series of orders were issued, the entire Imperial fleet began to act in an orderly manner.
"Well, it looks like our mission is over."
On the Alliance's side, Hataniya shrugged and said helplessly.
He also knew that his warships were too inferior to those of the Empire, at least they had no way to drive them into the interior of a burning star for sunbathing.
The vanguard commandos quickly tore through the enemy's defensive lines, followed by a volley of Imperial troops.
"——!! now"
The entire Imperial fleet suddenly changed from extremely static to extremely moving, and this momentary huge change made the people on the alliance side drop their jaws.
Space relative engine, the preeminent technology of the Empire.
This kind of engine-driven battleship is actually in a state of full speed all the time, but when the battleship needs to be stationary, the space fixed component inside the engine will fix the current spatial coordinates of the battleship, so that the battleship is in a state of "although it is constantly moving at full speed, it cannot move because it is tied to strange things".
It's as if a car is constantly being pressed on the accelerator by the driver, but it is held to the ground by countless solid steel bars, making it unable to move.
In the same way, the adjustment of the speed of the battleship itself is achieved by the engine constantly modifying the relative coordinates of itself and the surrounding space.
With this engine, the ship can be driven regardless of the acceleration process and change its movement state in an instant. And because for the members inside the battleship, the battleship itself has always been moving at full speed, so they will not have a sense of discomfort at all.
Of course, they didn't know anything about these alliances, so they were all stupid when they saw this scene.
"How did they do it!? What kind of technology is used in the engines of their warships!? ”
Hataniya's adjutant muttered.
"Hey, hey! Sir, did you see that!? Those guys completely ignore an acceleration process, hey! It's not scientific! ”
"You're talking to a bunch of extreme idealistic guys about science?" Hataniya said quietly.
The adjutant still said to himself: "Extreme idealism should also talk about the Basic Law!" ”
"That's it! Now is not the time to dwell on this issue, let's hurry up and retreat when the other party stays behind and does not entangle the enemy, and the next thing is not something we can mix. ”
After Hatania finished speaking, he directly ordered the coalition fleet to begin retreating.
He glanced up at the giant red giant star in the distance one last time, and silently prayed in his heart for the people of the Empire.
"You ...... Be sure to keep it up! ”
