On September 18, 3121, the prismatic fleet arrived as scheduled with an unparalleled sense of oppression.

But the people in the Shadow Galaxy are not flustered.

This was already in the prediction of the Empire's top brass, and humanity had already made sufficient plans.

The outer periphery of the entire shadow galaxy has long been laid by humans with a huge mine belt with a thickness of 100 million kilometers.

The number of deceitful mines exceeds one trillion.

The individual thunderbolts are the size of a fist, like fine dust scattered outside the Dyson membrane, each rotating around a massive galaxy in a fixed orbit.

The distribution of thunder is mainly near the ecliptic plane, and it is the most dense.

However, in order to maintain a certain intelligence capability over the ecliptic plane, there are still a small number of orbits of the ecliptic plane at different angles, and finally form a large net of elongated egg scramble similar to Dyson membrane.

Because the thunderbolt is too far away from the shadow sun, relying on the pure natural stellar gravitational field, it is impossible to firmly limit the thunderbolt to a fixed range and form a stable thunderbolt minefield.

That's why every Trick Mine is loaded with a field energy engine.

The so-called field energy engine is actually a variant of the curvature-like engine, but the output power is much smaller than that of the curvature-like engine, and it hardly compresses the space, just using a huge gravitational field and applying a little steering force is enough.

Under the traction of the field energy engine and the precise control of the stars, trillions of tricks and thunderbolts rotate along criss-crossing orbits, but they do not collide with each other, maintaining a delicate balance and making the number of tricky mines distributed per unit area relatively stable.

There are two types of mines, one is the passive type that will be detonated after a physical collision or energy field interference.

The other is controlled by the dual control of the quantum network and the gravitational wave network, and if an enemy appears within a fixed range, it will run the field energy engine at full power overload, and complete the active type of rapid advancement and detonation in position.

The blasting methods of active deception include antimatter impact, dark energy black hole, compression fusion blasting, beam energy shock wave diffusion, etc.

The passive type, which accounts for a larger proportion, is a special slurry electromagnetic shock wave originating from a special planetary system.

After the magma magnetic lightning is blasted, a large number of liquid special alloys will be thrown out in all directions, called allomagnetic slurry flow.

The biggest feature of these liquid alloys is that they have extremely strong magnetism, their magnetism has a strong metal resonance ability, and they will invert the north and south poles at a frequency of 100,000 times per second.

According to the experience of the confrontation between the Morrowind Empire and the prism ship in the past twenty or thirty years, when the number of slurry magnetic striage blasts reaches a certain base, and there are enough different magnetic slurry flows within a fixed range, the refractive ability of the compound eye prism ship will be slightly restrained, no longer so stable, and there is a possibility of operation error.

Then, with the combat style of the Compound Eyer, the prismatic ship will decisively give up the jump.

In addition, the gradually diffusing mutated magnetic field will also become a guiding light in quantum scanning, which can help humans quickly and effectively locate compound eye prisms.

This time, the shape of the prismatic ship has not changed from the last time, and it is still a structure made of two pyramids with a length of 300 kilometers.

The chain array fortress ships arranged by humans outside the ten-fold Dyson membrane layer are spherical ships with a diameter of 400 kilometers, with a total of 3 million ships, each fortress has 1,000 people, and a total of 3 billion shipboard fighters.

The thousands of people on the fortress ship have different responsibilities and perform their own duties, combined with the assistance of artificial intelligence, thousands of soldiers can control the fortress starship.

Each fortress ship has a large main battleship with 100 people, ten medium frigates with 10 people, and 100 veteran fighters who operate high-performance fighters in variable form.

This variable-form high-performance fighter is the prototype of the Star Shadow Warframe.

Although the soldiers on these ships were not selected into Chen Feng's teaching class and could not receive Chen Feng's personal guidance, they were also qualified to access the training materials written by Chen Feng.

At the same time, the training instructors of these people also participated in the instructor training course led by Ding Hu.

After a four-month assault training, these already elite fighters have improved a lot.

Combined with the constantly updated and upgraded equipment, although the comprehensive strength of these fighters and operators who cooperate with the Chain Array Bastion Ship is not as good as the authentic Star Shadow Warriors, they are already called the best.

Chen Feng observed that the concept of war is changing.

Although the core control of most capital ships is still in human hands, the number of crew members of ships is very different from the previous timeline.

The number of members on each ship in this timeline is much smaller than in the past.

Previously, to maintain a bastion ship with a diameter of up to 400 kilometers, at least tens of thousands of people were required to work together.

Now there are fewer than 300 people, and most positions can be assigned to two or three people in shifts.

In the unit universe, assuming that the total size of the human army is the same, the population density of the military is much lower.

The reason for this is that human beings have come out on a large scale, developed more stars, obtained more energy, and at the same time discovered more planets, and obtained more special materials that cannot be obtained by relying on mass-energy conversion.

The double surplus of energy and materials has created the possibility for mankind to build more extravagant large war units.

At the same time, due to the improvement of the performance of the stars, mankind's research on quantum networks has been deepened, and the security level of quantum communication has continued to improve, and mankind has begun to dare to hand over more important work to artificial intelligence, and finally such a new war model has been formed.

At the beginning of the war, the concept of war was not so extreme.

However, in the past 100 years, with the gradual deepening of the course of war, mankind's strategic policy has gradually shifted from shooting down enemy ships to collecting information, and exchanging troops for more information is the first priority.

At the same time, in order to gradually increase the survival probability of the escape fleet and increase the difficulty of the pursuit of the compound eye, human beings began to advocate more and more the strategy of breaking into parts.

There will even be many escape ships with only one family on board, and if they encounter a situation, they can even fly a small escape shuttle to escape alone.

A total of 20 frozen embryos of 10 men and 10 women were also loaded in the single escape shuttle.

This is the minimum standard that can barely guarantee no consanguineous union within three generations.

As long as you can get out of a boat, these 20 embryos have a chance to reproduce a whole whole population with the help of artificial intelligence.

The human strategy is quite effective, and so far the compound eyes have not completed a complete external purge, relying on this new civilization model that is constantly breaking into pieces.

This pattern is evident in other regions, most notably in shadow galaxies.

At this time, the first slurry magnetic stool was detonated, and the different magnetic slurry stream was sprayed, silently sprinkling the moisturizing matter on the prism, and at the same time detonating more passive slurry and magnetic mines nearby.

The large mutated magnetic field continued to oscillate and gradually spread, turning the prismatic ship that was approaching in an instant into a boulder that was thrown into the mirror-like surface of the lake, setting off waves in waves.

One of the chained fortresses at the forefront responds the fastest, announcing the position of the prism.

In the Morrowind II, which was far away, a prismatic ship rendered red suddenly appeared in the star map in front of Chen Feng's eyes.

Yes, only one.

But in the next second, crimson prismatic polygonal structures appeared in all directions of the shadow galaxy, and eventually reached 30,000 ships.

Instead of the average dispersion when the grid links were formed, the 30,000 prisms were randomly distributed this time.

The Compound Eyes apparently won't use grid links to lock down galaxies this time.

Probably because the number of ships is too small, the density of the grid white plasma in the unit space is insufficient to form an effective blockade, so it is simply not used.

Then the Compound Eyer's offensive mode is about to come out.

A small number of prismatic ships are responsible for patrolling the outer ring to prevent escape, while most of them are either scattered or gathered, gradually opening up the gap in the human front and gradually encroaching on the living force of mankind.

The direction of this small-scale battle situation is similar to the overall battle situation outside that affects the huge Orion arm, like a matryoshka doll.

Until a definite advantage is gained, the compound eye prism will not rush in.

This would fall into the encirclement of humanity.

Although there has never been a record of shooting down a prism ship in the long history of warfare, it is clear to both sides that the threshold is approaching.

With the ability shown by humans, once the first prismatic ship is shot down, it is likely to mean that the relationship between the two sides of the war is reversed in an instant.

Compound eyes will not allow this to happen, never.

As the active treacherous thunderbolt moved rapidly through space, a fierce firefight erupted in the next instant.

In just an instant, about 7,000 brilliant space flames filled the front of the fortress chain array.

Most of the flames are concentrated near the ecliptic plane of the second orbit of the star, and a small part are distributed in the upper and lower directions of the galaxy.

The prismatic battleship, which was temporarily limited in its ability to leap with high mobility, opened its shield as usual, and then opened a crack about 30 kilometers wide in the middle of the two pyramid structures, and a large number of medium and micro combat units flew out of it like wasps out of their nests.

There were still a handful of blade beetles, a moderate number of eight-legged beetles, and a large number of dragonfly fighters, as well as more turtle-shaped flying machines and self-detonating flies the size of fingernails.

The Compound Eyed's weapons of war have not changed much in form.

But the performance of various equipment still made Chen Feng's eyelids jump.

Now the blade mantis in front of him had a long bendable tube on its back, in addition to the unifying force cutting arm and spitting out explosive particles.

The long tube was clearly a weapon, like a tail that reverted from the vertebrae to the top of the head, and was very flexible enough to shoot white beams of light outward.

Chen Feng recognized the beam.

In the previous timeline, it was released from a spherical battleship and caused great damage to the human fleet at the last moment.

And the thin layer of shield covering the body of these blade mantis has also changed, showing a silvery glow in the universe, indicating its good reflectivity against energy weapons.

According to the information provided by the army, after the pure physical toxin was hit, the effect dropped by a few hundred years compared to a hundred years ago.

These blade mantis were much stronger than those that Chen Feng personally slaughtered.

The roaming ball ship has not innovated the blade mantis equipment, and the prism ship, which has been participating in the war at a high intensity, has changed the blade mantis to an unknown number of versions.

The eight-legged beetle has also changed, and its originally slightly clumsy flight speed has become much faster.

The way the human side meets the enemy has also changed greatly from Chen Feng's understanding in the past.

The chain fortress ship did not rush to release manned small and medium-sized combat units, but only flew out countless bowl-shaped aircraft from the exit hatch in the middle.

Each aircraft was loaded with a maximum of three and a minimum of one type of small arms.

These pure artificial intelligence aircraft use pure medium engines, although the acceleration is not fast enough, but by virtue of the large number, it is not small.

Before the cannon fodder-level combat units of the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the small units of the Compound Eyes had already drunk a pot in the Thunder Array.

The Blade Mantis, which has the ability to leap in short ranges, can quickly advance forward, but the other units of the Compound Eyes have been blown up by countless thunderbolts.

To pass through the turbulence of the magnetic field disturbed by the magnetic thunder, the powerful blade mantis also has to take some risks.

But these blade mantis must perform a jumping maneuver.

The firepower of a single bastion ship is very strong, and dozens of them are rashly approaching, and the risk of being shot down is not small.

They have to be aggregated first.

Tenth Marshal Peng Zhongyun, who was directly responsible for commanding the first heavy defense line, carried out the operation and began to pre-charge the heavy weapons of some fortress ships.

Chen Feng swept it, and Peng Zhongyun chose about ten key areas.

One and a half million blade mantis invariably started to leap.

Only 95% of the blade mantis successfully completed the jump, and 5% of the blade mantis appeared at the target location, but only half of their bodies were left, and the other half did not know where to run, probably left in some unknown black hole.

There were 1.5 million blade mantises, but now there are only 1.42 million left, and a total of five squads have formed around the shadow galaxy, with an average of nearly 290,000 per squad.

Four of the squads overlapped with the warm-up fire points arranged in advance by Lu Xianxian.

As soon as it reappeared, it was hit head-on by the heavy composite guns of more than a thousand nearby fortress ships.

But one of them appeared in a position that Peng Zhongyun had never judged.

After a short rest, the blade mantis quickly accelerated to one-half of the speed of light, turned into a streamer in the universe, and slaughtered forward.

As these more than 280,000 blade mantis took the lead in entering the firepower coverage of the chain fortress array, the medium-sized weapons of the nearly 1,000 fortress ships here began to tilt their firepower outward.

The vast majority of those who fired first were not energy weapons, but live-fire weapons mainly missiles.

High-power energy weapons need to be recharged, and only live-fire weapons can fire as soon as they say they can fire.

Sometimes it is possible to perform a pre-charge, but once the charge is turned on, it must be fired, and after each launch, there will be a certain period of time for the equipment material to repair and a period for energy to be re-prepared, commonly known as a cooldown time.

Missiles?

Chen Feng frowned slightly, thinking that it was impossible to hit at all.

Sure enough, the turbulence formed by the convergence of the blade mantis suddenly dispersed, each dodging.

Although missiles have the ability to track and orient themselves and have a certain curvature-like flight ability, it is really too difficult to track down a blade mantis that can easily change direction at half the speed of light.

But this was expected by the human commander.

The missile detonated in advance, and the brilliant detonation illuminated the space of nearly 10 million kilometers in front of the fortress ship into a brilliant area of light like a stellar corona.

Intense shock waves and streams of particles form clusters of "ephemeral stars" in the universe.

The "ephemeral stars" intersected with each other, and the blasting shock wave distorted and deformed into a cloud.

But in the blink of an eye, the Blade Mantis array burst out of the clouds and continued to advance.

It doesn't look like humans are taking advantage.

"Beautiful!"

Chen Feng suddenly clenched his fists and roared.

He wouldn't jump to conclusions, but the manipulation of the human fortress ship just now made him amazed.

It turned out that the real purpose of the missile detonation was not the blade mantis, but to block the advance route of the remaining combat units such as the eight-legged beetle chasing behind, and at the same time to break the invisible silk thread laid by the blade mantis along the way.

This silk thread Chen Feng also recognizes that it is similar to the material of the long whisker of the ball ship, and it also has the ability to freeze space.

The Compound Eye seems to be planning to use the blade mantis to form a spider-like web, slowly using spatial freezing techniques to freeze the entire outer perimeter of the shadow galaxy.

Now the wishful thinking of the compound eye is wrong.

And since human energy can break through the silk thread, it proves that the human explosive weapon can now overwhelm the freezing power of the silk thread.

At the same time, in the upper right corner of Chen Feng's vision, there are some parameters that are changing rapidly.

"No. 5 string energy ray flow is being tested in actual combat efficacy......

Test results progress 1%, 2%...... 7%…… 33%…… 100%。

After the test is completed, the 18th, 29th, and 75th bottom chords modified by the DX2287 star star rule can be mixed and blasted, and then the Orton 3 metal is used as the shrapnel carrier, which can cut the frozen silk thread in 0.0002 seconds.

The No. 5 string energy splinter bullet was successfully developed. ”

"Weapon depth evaluation, the best carrying propulsion stage is a vacuum bubble fusion blast with a single-particle neutron shell, which can obtain the maximum blasting effect in the shortest time."

At this point, the heavy weapons on the fortress ship were finally recharged.

In an instant, the thousands of fortress ships once again glowed with colorful light, one after another like searchlights, but in fact, they contained huge energy pillars of light pouring out from the fortress ships.

Trait rules and material-triggered energy, string energy excited energy energy with staggered vertical and horizontal waves, boson energy flow with super magnetic field oscillation effect, colorless light cannon with indescribably short wavelength, gamma beam comparable to the strength of gamma-ray bursts, positron injection, antiproton injection and other terrifying energy weapons, bombarded forward from the fortress ship in a faster or slower way of cross-stacking each other, blocking the direction of the blade mantis into an impenetrable net.

These more than 280,000 blade mantis also began to suffer rapid casualties.

The progress of the weapon test in the upper right corner of Chen Feng's vision jumped wildly again.

Yes, it only took Chen Feng twenty seconds to fully understand the strategic policy of the Shadow Galaxy.

Test!

This is precisely the eternal theme of the war between the two sides for a hundred years.

Not only that, but other fortress ships far from the Blade Mantis war zone have also begun to recharge their giant weapons.

These giant weapons are locking onto the prismatic ships that have been briefly trapped in the Slurry Thunder Array.

There is a wide variety of giant weapons.

The Black Hole Spin Cannon, a new type of black hole weapon, is not as direct as a black hole bomb, but it can briefly restrain a mass energy injection similar to a physical black hole material and launch it in a columnar form.

The supermassive stellar corona cannon can continuously release terrifying high temperatures of more than 30 million degrees.

The Chimera Liquid Missile, inspired by the saliva of the Chimera Bird, a trait life in the trait planetary system, is an eerie liquid with extremely strong decomposition abilities that surpasses physical toxins.

The Lava Life Gene Concussion Missile, which mimics the genetic architecture of lava life, can release a continuous high temperature, and the tarsal bone-like flame will consume everything.

and the Enabling Space Plant Network, a new type of weapon created by humans by fusing the strange life in the idiosyncratic galaxy with the Dyson membrane, which can lay out a large net covering an area of 50 million kilometers in space in a very short time.

This vast net will quickly absorb all forms of energy that it comes into contact with. It has just been successfully developed, and it has high hopes. Researchers hope that this network of plants will absorb the outer shield of the prism.

and the even more terrifying Dyson membrane devouring energy field, which is a specialty of the shadow galaxy, a stretching Dyson membrane that was once briefly close to a physical black hole and then re-sent by the daredevils with reverse thrust, the molecules inside are similar to the high-speed oscillations of black hole matter.

It's all testing.

Over the centuries, humanity has performed countless tests of a similar scale in countless battles.

The ultimate goal of all tests has never changed - to shoot down the prism and destroy the enemy.

These weapons contain all of humanity's imagination and scientific literacy to date.

Humans have been trying to integrate everything they can see in Orion's arm.

Human beings are constantly understanding the depth of the universe, and then absorbing more rules of the universe, and then filling their understanding of the universe into military science and technology without reservation.

This is an ancient concept of materials science and technology, which was used in the 31st century.

This idea, called exhaustive enactment, can give infinite variations to limited resources in order to constantly search for answers that are closer to the truth.

What seems like an archaic mindset will never go out of style.

With every test, there will be a lot of deaths, but humans don't care and can't care.

The purpose of people is simply to complete the test.

Humanity does not expect to be defeated at the moment, and every soldier and scientific researcher involved in the test only wants to complete his own mission.

I finished the test and I died with no regrets.

Today, humanity has forgotten whether it is a peace-loving race.

Because the choices before humanity have never changed.

War.

There is only war.

In the past thousand years, human beings have relied on the seamless communication of this quantum network to establish an incomparably large unified will.

The foothold of this will, to borrow a phrase once said by the sage Chen Feng, is "The war starts because of you, and I will not die." ”

As countless giant weapons are gradually recharged, another round of testing is about to begin.

Some of the Blade Mantis burst into a million-kilometer range in front of the Bastion and began to exchange fire with the bowl-shaped intelligent vehicles released by the humans earlier.

Large main battleships, medium-sized frigates, and small single-man high-performance fighters among the three million fortress ships have been lifted into the air one after another.

Before the troops went out, Marshal Peng Zhongyun, the commander-in-chief of the chain fortress array, said in the communication channel: "Everyone, behind us is our last position!" We have lost the Earth, we have lost the solar system, we have lost the entire Orion Arm! However, behind us, there are countless compatriots who are rushing to the depths of the galaxy and to the far reaches of space! And the sages who are coming to us! We will hold on to this place, waiting for the arrival of the sages, waiting for our compatriots to go away! We will definitely achieve the best results we have ever achieved! Guys, forward! ”

With Peng Zhongyun's roar, the outgoing troops of the chain fortress formation marched violently.

Three million large main warships, 30 million medium-sized frigates, and 300 million high-performance fighters started their engines at the same time and began to advance at breakneck speed in their different directions.

They had to bypass the blockade of compound eye combat units such as the Blade Mantis, and quickly gathered two huge forces further ahead, and attacked the two prismatic ships respectively.

At the same time, the shipboard soldiers in the fortress ship have already boarded their own small and medium-sized cannon consoles, put on nerve puncture helmets, and link the neural network with the cannon with high strength, waiting to meet the approaching blade mantis short soldiers.

Behind these soldiers, stood their comrades in shift.

If these soldiers overuse their brains and have a nervous breakdown on the console, their brains liquefy and die, then the comrades behind them will take their place.

In the interior of the Shadow Galaxy, a torrent of 14,000 elite Star Shadow Warriors is accelerating rapidly in an elliptical orbit almost similar to Pluto's orbit, about to break through the speed of light and prepare to enter a state of hypercurved motion.

This team will suddenly appear on the battlefield ten seconds later, and will meet the more than 280,000 blade mantis that rushed to the front.
