Chapter 635: The Great Rout
Three minutes later, Qin Guang sat in the strategic command cabin.
Although a few minutes ago he was undergoing a slightly life-prolonging but extremely painful treatment for telomere activation of brain cells, and now that the healing energy tube above his head has not been evacuated, his mental state has returned to the time of total victory, just as he was when he first appeared in a galactic battle in military uniform two hundred years ago.
The fleet fortifications were quickly opened.
Intensify the curvature bubble to start synchronously.
The 1st and 2nd Forward Fleets advanced forward, breaking away from the common curvature bubble of the large forces, and preparing to advance forward.
The individual special operations unit led by Tong Ling broke away from the flank and gradually approached under the cover of the first and second forward fleets.
At the same time, the technical team has completed the analysis of the enemy situation at a rapid pace.
The worm received its official name - the curvature four-dimensional phagocyphago.
It's a magical life.
It does not need the protection of the curvature bubble, and can fly freely in the curvature space.
The unstable curvature space that can continuously exert a super-powerful field that can distort any matter is the water flow that the devourer is most adapted to.
What gives it this special ability is the consistent structure of its mouthparts from beginning to end.
Energy analysis shows that the mouth of the devouring insect is constantly devouring nearby space and escaping particles.
Fleet scientists have flagged one of the particles that was about to be inhaled into the mouthparts of the devouring worm.
Almost as soon as the particle is sucked in, the same marked particle flies out of its tail.
The time difference between the two is 0, and the body length of the devouring insect of more than 300 kilometers seems to be non-existent.
As the Nameless Fleet remotely marked more and more particles, a mock-up was drawn.
The devouring insect is like a curved magnet, and the space, energy, and particles are respectively based on the mouthparts of the two sections of the devouring insect's hand and tail, which first spread and expand, and then converge at the other end, forming a variable magnetic field structure.
In addition, the visual display of the phagophage has a length, but the analysis and experiment have come to the curious conclusion that the distance between the two ports of its hand and tail does not exist, and the space seems to be folded.
The front porter seems to be a single-sided black hole, and the tail mouthpart is a single-sided white hole.
This is obviously a paradox, because it does have a length, perhaps it is just that the concept of time is erased when matter passes through it, or the laws of time and space in it become another rule.
Each four-dimensional phagophagocyte of curvature is like an ultra-small group of tribal gates.
The magnetic-like structure formed by the continuous mass energy transfer cycle between the head and tail of the devouring insect counteracts the unstable force field in the curvature space, allowing the devouring insect to be like a fish in water.
"Execute the AB plan. The forward fleet and special operators made tentative contact with the enemy. The main fleet uses reserve energy to enter the curvature hover. ”
For human ships, curvature space is not a good battlefield to engage the enemy.
Once the outer bubble is broken, the fleet will need to break the overall energy balance and reorganize the defense layer by many ships, which will consume a large amount of energy reserves and greatly limit the mobility of small combat units.
At the same time, once it is determined that the ability of the devouring insects exceeds the limit of the capabilities that the human fleet can withstand in conventional combat, the large force must move the battlefield to the original three-dimensional space, turn on the stealth function in the original three-dimensional space, and stealthily move billions of kilometers to transfer to the new curvature gravitational line as soon as possible.
About fifteen minutes passed, and the forward fleet officially engaged the enemy.
At this time, the Curvature Thinking Devourer has also discovered a human warship? After a series of seemingly chaotic quick adjustments, hundreds of millions of devouring insects quickly adjusted their direction as if they had discovered the enemy's swarm, aiming their front end in the direction that the human ship was approaching? Then start moving.
Human ships begin to fire long-range weapons? Already a hypervelocity missile equipped with a curvature engine? There are also high-energy level real energy fluid rays that can be curved forward in curvature space.
The rays arrived first, but they didn't take effect.
Either it changes direction and deviates under the traction of the magnetic field on the surface of the devouring insect, or it is the same as other mass energy in the curvature space? Engulfed by the mouthparts of a devouring insect? And then leak out from the other end, partly into a magnetic-like structure, and partly continue to escape backwards? Submerged into the far reaches of the gravitational line channel.
Followed by? The missile detonates on its own when it is close to the Devourer.
The shock wave released by the missile and the tearing space? It's no different from what happened to the Fluid Rays.
"The energy response of the devouring insect is very similar to that of the crystal tardigrade? But already have the ability to allocate energy independently? No more bursting. What is its physical nature? It's a subspace. Every devouring insect has a subspace in its body! ”
Based on the reaction of the human weapon hitting it, the technicians quickly came to a conclusion.
In an instant, the devouring swarm approached the vanguard fleet at breakneck speed.
It did not release any destructive energy to the outside world, but silently passed over the outermost high-mobility small ships of the forward fleet.
In a battlefield simulation? The network cable of the magnetic field-like structure is seamlessly intertwined with the curvature bubble of the striker ship and the protective layer? Overlap.
Sirens in the battle report system came and went.
"The power system of the First Fleet A intelligent warship has failed to report an error."
"The weapon loading system has failed in error."
"There's a leak in the drivetrain!"
"Curvature engine failure!"
"The structural stability of the hull of the intelligent warship has been devastated!"
……
Just three minutes later? The final statistical report showed up.
"A total of three hundred and sixty intelligent warships of the forward fleet have been interrupted? The whole army was destroyed. ”
In fact, there is no need to report this, the rear commander can clearly see the more than 300 unmanned ships after losing the protection of the curvature bubble only through the battlefield simulation? It quickly disintegrates into fragments in the curvature space, and then is continuously inhaled and discharged by countless devouring insects, reducing to real energy particles and being absorbed by devouring insects.
The ring-like structure on the surface of the engulfing insect is increasing in circles during this process.
As a large number of automated equipment was wiped out without resistance, Qin Guang immediately ordered the manned ships in the middle and rear sections of the forward fleet to stop advancing, quickly retreat, and prepare to get out of the curvature flight state during the retreat.
The battlefield must be returned to its original three-dimensional space as soon as possible.
But a step too late.
In the next instant, the magnetic-like network outside the devouring insect's body expanded rapidly, and most of the forward warships were covered.
"The cardiopulmonary function of the shipboard personnel is abnormal!"
"Warning, the blood pressure index of the ship's personnel is abnormal!"
"Warning, the shipboard personnel are out of mind! The stability of the structure of the phosphorus atom Posner cluster in the human brain has been devastated! ”
……
Qin Guang, who had already smelled the danger of extinction, gave orders one after another.
"All ships and combat units immediately return to three-dimensional space! All Quick-Activating Weapons and Equipment are pre-charged! All automatic small combat equipment enters the launch compartment in advance! Get ready to drop miniature smashers! ”
This time, the Nameless Fleet was indeed deeply calculated by the other party.
The ability of the curvature four-dimensional devouring insect was beyond imagination, and it caught him off guard.
There is no doubt that there must be other enemies waiting in three-dimensional space.
In the galactic space, 360,000 human warships, large and small, appeared out of thin air.
Almost at the same time, brilliant artillery fire was intertwined into a net.
Outside of the space where the Nameless Fleet is located, there are millions of "planets".
These "planets" are spinning at a very fast speed, and one after another large and small flying objects are floating out, densely packed in space, almost like swarms of locusts, and the number is too large to be counted.
The nebula formed by the locust swarm swept towards the human ship like the tail of a comet.
Fortunately, Qin Guang had already ordered the weapons to be warmed up in advance, and the swarms of locusts coming from all directions were just in time to meet the frantically diffused human artillery fire.
Small combat units with relatively strong individual combat capabilities have begun to patrol the outer layers of the fleet, like interceptors protecting aircraft carriers, to intercept fish that have slipped through the firepower cover.
"Hive Giant Ship: Single body radius 7000~8000km. The interior is a semi-biological structure, highly similar to the spherical battleship from the Void History. The body size is dozens of times larger, and the internal energy reaction strength is tens of thousands of times. Main combat class: Half-creature war bees, the performance is close to the improved Forgai armor. Each hive ship produces 5 million ~ 10 million war bees per second. ”
The intelligence analysis provided by the scientific team was quickly delivered to Command.
Qin Guang and other military commanders were shocked to see it.
"Shoot a miniature fragmentation bomb! Missiles, fast smart shuttles, smart combat equipment, and special combat personnel are all activated! Send three pinnacle warriors with shattering bombs to get close to this hive ship, and make sure to up! Gotta get out! ”
The new command order had just been issued, and hundreds of millions of cylindrical gadgets appeared out of thin air.
The curvature four-dimensional devouring insect also completed the space jump and chased after it.
As can be seen from the previous battles that took place in the curvature space, the shattering bombs that were invincible in the past no matter how invincible they faced any enemy in the past have also lost the magic effect of their mass killing weapons.
The fragmentation bomb that finally broke out of the encirclement and successfully detonated failed to destroy a single hive mothership.
This is because some of the devouring insects directly cross space and appear in the outer layer of the hive mothership.
One of them had a devouring insect connected at its mouth and tail, and transmitted the explosive impact of the shattering bomb directly from the front to the rear, and disappeared into the distant depths of the universe.
It had only been ten minutes since the two sides had been fighting, but Qin Guang had already clearly realized that this was the most dangerous moment for the Nameless Fleet so far.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and defeat is imminent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are informed that our conventional weapons are no longer available. The experience of the past is no longer meaningful, and now it is necessary to start studying the enemy again to find the flaws. Thaw all frozen personnel. The Second Doomsday Procedure must be carried out. ”
The so-called Second Doomsday Procedure refers to the fact that when the Nameless Fleet encounters an enemy interception force that cannot be defeated, all reserves must be released instantly, and all the troops must be at the same time.
Five seconds later, every small unit exit hatch on the 360,000 large ships opened.
A total of more than 30 billion of the latest small smart weapons poured out like a tide, and began to carry out a war of attrition against the half-creatures war bees.
At the same time, many professional soldiers in different positions either opened the spare gun bay and sat in, or put on adsorption close-fitting armor and rushed out of the ship, standing on the hull of the ship, holding space sniper rifles to turn themselves into human batteries.
The peak soldiers led by Tong Ling have each led a special operations team and galloped across the battlefield.
Elite warriors can easily gain an advantage against war bees, but they have to keep their numbers of devouring insects close at all times.
So far, humanity has not been able to find a way to eradicate the devouring insects.
Half an hour has passed, the number of small smart weapons has plummeted to 23 billion, and nearly 10,000 ships have been lost.
What's even more distressing is that some of the flying vehicles have already tried to turn on the jump, but they have found that these hive giants have extremely high-level terrifying virtual energy beams connected to each other, forming an invisible net in space, completely locking the possibility of the jump.
"General Qin, if we continue to fight like this, we will be slowly eaten away."
In the command headquarters, a military staff officer reminded.
He knew that he was talking nonsense, of course Qin Guang understood the situation, but he didn't vomit unpleasantly.
Qin Guang nodded slightly, "I know." ”
His eyes were fixed on the other side.
Just two minutes ago, Emerson Corbert, who was urgently transferred from basic scientific research to military science, proposed a new plan.
Combined with the current situation, Emerson's proposed plan is to combine the medium-jet engines of 6,000 ships into a ring-like structure, and through subtle energy control, let these medium-jet engines eject real energy beams and collide with each other, and quickly create a wormhole similar to a black hole in space.
Emerson wasn't sure where the wormhole would lead, but he could get the fleet out of its current predicament.
However, before implementation, it is necessary to go through a huge calculation to ensure that the operation of the medium-jet engines of these 6,000 ships conforms to mathematical laws, and that accurate real energy progressive reactions occur, so that it is possible to accurately create wormholes, instead of making an unstable black hole and destroying itself.
In addition, when the engine is sprayed with a real energy beam, it must not move, nor can it be subjected to excessive impact.
It's just that due to the functional limitations of the fleet's intelligent brain, it will take at least three days to complete the calculation and engine arrangement.
"Did Zhou Donglai wake up?"
At this critical moment, Qin Guang suddenly asked a seemingly mindless question.
General Lu, who was in charge of internal logistics, reported as soon as possible and woke up.
"Okay, inform Zhou Donglai and prepare to take over."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Now is the first stage, and it is necessary to organize a special attack corps to block the enemy's onslaught on the perimeter and strive for a better environment and conditions for Emerson's calculations. Since someone needs to buy time. We old things are in charge. I will be the first commander of the Assault Corps. After my death, Zhou Donglai succeeded me as commander-in-chief. ”
"Good. I'll get your message out as soon as I can. Some of the first-generation soldiers have just woken up and still need to get used to the situation. ”
"It was done in five minutes. It will be dialed in 10 minutes. May I? ”
"Yes. I'll go too. ”
"No, Lao Lu, you have to wait, you have to command the second stage of the special attack corps."
