The second piece of information comes from the war zone to which the [Time and Space Gate] 1776 structural unit belongs.

The simulation is still very short, but there are some relatively special discoveries.

Through repeated monitoring of about 5.8 billion times, the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the Alliance found that between the minus 43 seconds (0.000...... of the 7~8*10 before the "melting" of the attacked fleet 43 zero seconds), the mass of the attacked battleship suddenly made a noticeable jump, that is, it increased significantly and then rapidly decreased, until it finally "melted" and disappeared.

The old guys of the Academy of Sciences did not come to any conclusion about this, and General Meng Chao was not engaged in scientific research, so he did not know the reason, but instinctively pondered for a moment, and then continued to consult information from other theaters.

……

With the passage of time, the "gray area" finally approached the radius of the star field where the first defense echelon was located.

The first defense echelon is the most critical part of the entire [Gate of Time and Space] No. 1562 energy unit star field, not only occupying the most extensive defense line, but also deploying the largest number of troops, second only to the garrison forces in the core area. The combat power of the entire first defense echelon is composed of 36 capital ships under the 271st Starfleet of the alliance and the coalition fleets of 12 super cosmic civilizations.

Such an interstellar force, according to the original defense plan, is definitely an extremely powerful combat force, but to everyone's surprise, the enemy they will face will be so powerful and so weird!

Soon, a frontal war was about to break out, and although the first defense echelon used all the attack modes at their disposal to counterattack with all their might, all they could do was to delay the spread of the "gray area" to the core area, but not to stop its spread.

What is even more worrying is that as the military strength of the first defense echelon is rapidly swallowed up and consumed, the "gray area" has also recovered or even surpassed its original level in terms of expansion speed.

……

At the same time, everyone in the vortex galaxy smelled the diffuse smell of war. The fleet of silicon-based robots, located in the second echelon of defense, has long been in the highest level of combat readiness.

Yuan Haochen was still in his laboratory, but the experimental research that had been going on had stopped, and the large-scale experimental equipment that could not be named was now like a rock, silent like a sleeping metal beast without the slightest sound.

Suddenly, General Volcano Ball broke into the lab.

[Sudden change in situation, sudden change in situation! ] 】

The Volcano Ball General shouted and ran straight to Yuan Chen's side, who was still thinking deeply at the time.

Yuan Haochen came back to his senses and asked, "Is it the battle situation of the first defense echelon?" ”

[And that's just a small part of it!] General Volcano Ball waved his strong upper limbs, looked down at Yuan Haochen in front of him, and said with a stern expression, [I just received a notice that General Meng Chao has issued the final decision of the coalition military command center, and the zero-light speed barrier is about to be activated! 】

"So, the first defense echelon is no longer able to resist the enemy's attack?" Yuan Haochen reacted immediately, and then asked, "How long is it until the zero-light speed barrier activates?" What will happen to the rest of the garrison fleet? ”

The situation is urgent, and General Volcano Ball replied very succinctly: [The coalition command center gives us two choices. First, retreat to the core area of the energy unit and enter the zero-speed barrier. Second, switch to the "Gate of Time and Space"! 】

"Turning to the Gate of Time and Space? What does that mean? Yuan Haochen frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked.

He knew what it meant to retreat to the core of the energy unit and enter the zero-speed barrier. They will be imprisoned at zero speed of light, and there is a good chance that they will engage in a war with the enemy that will last for eons of time from an outside frame of reference.

If they don't wait for strong reinforcements, they will die a glorious death, and they will be wiped out with the [Time and Space Gate] No. 1562 energy unit.

Conversely, if they are lucky enough to wait for rescue and finally break free from the confines of the zero-speed cage, they will face a world hundreds of millions of years from now.

But Rao was like this, and Yuan Haochen's attention was still focused on the second option-to switch to the [Gate of Time and Space].

How and why? He was desperate to know more details.

The Volcano Ball General knew Yuan Haochen's doubts, and he immediately explained: [Everyone knows very well that the loss of Energy Unit 1562 has become a foregone conclusion. Even if it is not trapped in the cage of zero speed of light, and most of the surrounding stars are lost as energy sources, it is not far from being completely destroyed. However, the seriousness of the situation is far beyond our imagination. This time, it is not only the structural unit of the "Gate of Time and Space" that is being attacked, but the main body of the "Gate of Time and Space" is also suffering a huge threat! 】

"The gray area also surrounds the main structure of the space-time gate!?" Hearing this, Yuan Haochen asked in deep surprise.

[No, it is not the "Gray Zone" that surrounds the main structure of the Gate of Time and Space, but the fleet of the Annihilation Alliance. 】

Without waiting for Yuan Haochen to speak, General Volcano Ball immediately added: [It's the genuine Annihilation Alliance fleet, and it's their main fleet, it's the absolute main force! 】

"How can the main fleet of the Annihilation Alliance drive straight into the main structure of the [Gate of Time and Space]?" Yuan Haochen immediately realized, "The Annihilation Alliance's raid this time is really a big game of chess!" ”

You're right! General Volcano Ball said to Yuan Haochen with a solemn expression, [Use the strange "gray area" to surround and attack the outer structural units, forcing the alliance to draw a large number of military forces to disperse and rush, and then they will take the opportunity to concentrate the main fleet to storm the main structure of the Gate of Time and Space!] 】

"This time, the operation of the Annihilation Alliance has indeed succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on us, but the most critical thing is the [Gray Zone], if there is no weird [Gray Zone], they will not be able to hold it down and swallow up most of our military forces." Yuan Haochen analyzed.

[yes, what the hell are these "gray areas"? General Volcano Ball also thinks so.

"Could it be that in this universe, there is an unknown hostile force that we don't know about?"

This is a problem that has been plaguing Yuan Haochen recently, and the "Gray Areas" are really beyond everyone's understanding, making people unwilling to believe that they are the fleet of the Annihilation Alliance.

[No matter what the hell the "Grey Zone" is?] They are our enemies after all. General Volcano Ball said helplessly, [As far as the current situation is concerned, it no longer makes sense for us coalition forces to continue to stay in the 1562nd energy. 】

Yuan Haochen nodded in agreement, firstly, it is unlikely that the coalition forces will be the opponent of the "Gray Zone", and secondly, if the main structure of the [Time and Space Gate] is destroyed, what is the point of holding these energy units.

[This time is definitely the most difficult time to save the alliance, and it is also the second crisis of destruction that the "Gate of Time and Space" has encountered since its establishment!] General Volcano Ball said with emotion.

"So, the military command center asked us to switch to the Gate of Time and Space?" Yuan Haochen asked rhetorically, "How do you turn to war?" ”

[It is impossible to break through, a large number of "gray areas" have almost surrounded the entire No. 1562 energy unit, and even if it succeeds in breaking through, it is impossible to reach the main body of the "Gate of Time and Space" in a short time. 】

"Is a super space tunnel already being built in the core area?" Yuan Haochen quickly thought of the only way.

[Yes, the super space tunnel leading to the main structure of the "Gate of Time and Space", as well as the zero-speed barrier, are being prepared at the same time. Just wait for the various coalition forces to retreat to the core area! General Volcano Ball said.

"So, how did Ice Shake decide?" Yuan Haochen knew that the final choice belonged to the super leaders of the silicon-based mechanical civilization fleet, and he and the Volcanic Ball General could only act together.
