"Sir, this is indeed the central control room of the fortress of civilization, managed by artificial intelligence, and the fortress is controlled."

Xinghai's voice rang out in the control room, "The energy of the fortress of civilization comes from the gravitational field of the entire star system.

The range of action is 2.8-3 light-years from the star, forming a shielded shell of an invisible vortex of energy, the density of which is controlled by artificial intelligence in the central control room.

If it is an unnatural flying object, the AI will increase the density of the energy vortex, and yes, the flying object will get stuck in the energy vortex and eventually lose power and cannot pass through this shell.

This is how the fortress of civilization works, and now the fleet of Tours has at least 126 warships caught in the energy vortex.

It is clear that the fleet of Tours has been trying to pass through the energy vortex barrier of the fortress of civilization for the past time. ”

When Du Qiu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then how was the meteorite battleship let go by artificial intelligence before?" Could it be that it couldn't recognize that it was a battleship? ”

Xinghai replied: "Yes, the meteorite battleship is a meteorite shell on the outside, and there are no traces of unnatural power, and the perception system of the fortress of civilization defines it as a natural meteorite, so of course the artificial intelligence here will not block its flight in."

Unless it happens to fly into the energy vortex, then the natural meteorite will also be trapped in that area.

However, due to the fact that the Tours fleet kept sending warships to test the entrance, the artificial intelligence had already increased the energy vortex density of the area near the Tours fleet to the maximum a few years ago.

There are no natural meteorites that can pass through this area anymore, and you can see that there are many meteorites coming to rest in this area. ”

Before Xinghai's words fell, Ding Shaoqiu had already shouted: "Really, there are indeed many meteorites near the fleet of Tours that have lost their power and are hovering in the void.

Hey, there's something strange about how the battleships of the fleet of Tours look. ”

At this time, Ding Shaoqiu had already walked to the real-time solar system hologram in the center of the central control room, where it was the Fleet of Tours.

Du Qiu looked up and saw that in the void, the warships of the Tours fleet looked very old, and the surface of the shell was originally silver-gray, and there seemed to be many wrinkles at this time.

There were even warships that clearly had huge holes, as if they had been attacked, and they have not been repaired to this day.

There were also many warships that had obviously been burned by explosions, and it seemed that this fleet really seemed to have just retreated from the battlefield, and it was too late to rest and repair.

There are more than 7,000 warships, which stretch for at least 100 million kilometers in the void, and each warship is spaced 1,000 kilometers from top to bottom, left and right.

The most surprising thing is that none of the warships have any lights shining through, and the ships in such a void are all black and lifeless.

"Xinghai, this real-time scene we see hasn't been filtered or processed, has it? Why are these battleships as if there are no people, and they all seem to have their engines turned off. ”

Du Qiu couldn't help but also walked to the side of the Tours fleet, observed more carefully, and already asked Xinghai a question in his mouth.

Xinghai replied: "Sir, this real-time holographic projection definitely maintains the true state of the entire solar system without any adjustments.

I've just checked the records of artificial intelligence here, and it's been like this for three years since the fleet of Tours came here.

The Tours fleet came here in 2017 and then discovered the existence of the fortress of civilization, and then launched the meteorite spacecraft.

Around 2020, the fleet of the Tours fleet re-ignited once, but it did not leave the area, and then the fire was stopped. ”

After listening to Xinghai's explanation, Ding Shaoqiu immediately said: "Boss, I remember that in 2023, Professor Weitmann took a photo of white spots expanding the range of bright light.

In terms of time, it should be exactly the scene of 2020, could it be that the whole fleet is ignited this time? ”

Du Qiu's heart moved, and said: "It's very likely, if you look carefully, it seems that some of these warships are already turning!" And the direction of the steering is all different! ”

At this moment, Du Qiu noticed that in the entire ship group, one-third of the warships had their bows in a different direction from other warships, and seemed to have turned more than 90 degrees, and it was obvious that they were in the middle of turning.

After listening to Du Qiu's words, the group really saw that the entire ship group was in a state of chaos and was not in the same direction of operation.

"Boss, is it possible that the fleet of Tours wants to get out of here?"

"That's not right." Du Qiu shook his head, "More than a year after this, the fleet of Tours sent a second bad radio wave, why did this state remain for four years?" ”

After Du Qiu asked the question, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and immediately asked Xinghai, "Xinghai, take a look again, since that collective restart of the engine, has the Tours fleet maintained this state for this period of time?" Even the direction of the battleship has not changed? ”

"The artificial intelligence here has been retrieved just now, and since that restart of the engine and then extinguished, the state of these warships seems to have been frozen, and there has been no change."

"It can't be!" Ding Shaoqiu first retorted, "This is not in the energy vortex region, if the battleship completely turns off the engine to float in the void, because it is relatively close to the solar system, it should be affected by the gravitational pull of the solar system, and all the battleships should drift, how can it be completely unchanged?" ”

Although Ding Shaoqiu is a biologist, he has been leading the team to study the Pleiades in the past few years, and he has also done some research on astronomy, and his basic knowledge is still very clear.

Xinghai's voice said without any change: "I'm sorry, the situation of the Fleet of Tours recorded by the perception system of the Fortress of Civilization has indeed not changed in any way.

As for why this fleet is like this, it is not known why. ”

Du Qiu stared at this strange group of warships, and felt more and more inappropriate.

Don't say that this is a large fleet of fourth-level civilizations, even if it is a small fleet of 100 capital ships of magical technology, when it is in transit or when it is moored in the void, it will send alert fighters to fly around the fleet.

Even if it enters a silent parking state, controls the lights, etc., and turns on the optical stealth system, the alert fighter and the detector will still be released far away.

It is even more unlikely that all warships will turn not in the same direction, but in all directions.

Is this to flee in all directions?

An idea suddenly appeared in Du Qiu's mind, and then he couldn't get rid of it.

Following this idea, Du Qiu carefully observed the posture of these warships again, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Why did the fleet of Tours scatter and flee?

What's going on there?

"Guys, do you think these warships want to run away?" The voice of the commander of the fortress, Zheng Song, suddenly sounded.

"You think so too? It seems that the fleet of Tours must have encountered some kind of emergency, so their warships restarted their engines and planned to scatter in all directions. ”

Ding Shaoqiu looked at the state of the fleet in Tours and couldn't help but nodded, "It seems to be the case, but why did they turn off the engine again?" ”

"Failed to escape!"

Du Qiu and Zheng Song said in unison.

Ding Shaoqiu's voice couldn't help but tremble, "But, what could be something that can make more than 7,000 warships escape at the same time and fail and extinguish their engines?" ”

This kind of power is so terrifying that it makes all the battleships extinguish their engines in an instant, and then the battleship posture seems to be frozen in the void.

So when Ding Shaoqiu asked this question, his back felt cold.

Du Qiu Mo rubbed his chin and said, "Perhaps, it will be an artificial intelligence, and the artificial intelligence that controls all the warships at the same time, so that the engines of the battleships can be extinguished at the same time!" ”

"Boss, the engines can be extinguished at the same time, but how can the posture of these warships be frozen in the void? Without energy, how can we resist the gravitational pull of the solar system? ”

Ding Shaoqiu immediately pointed out the problem.

His words immediately made Du Qiu and the others fall into deep thought.

yes, that's the weirdest part, and the most incomprehensible part.
