[General Mengchao! The latest directive from the Military Executive Yuan of the combat group has been received! 】

Another officer suddenly reported that just a moment earlier, he had just received an over-the-range communication message from the higher Military Administration.

[What instructions do you instruct the Military Executive Yuan? 】

Without waiting for General Meng Chao to speak, the commander of the Chaoyang Civilization Fleet couldn't wait to ask.

[The situation is very bad! 】

The officer simply reported directly to everyone: [Not only us, but also the 1688th to 1692nd and 2702nd to 2752nd energy units of the "Time and Space Gate" were attacked by the enemy. Moreover, the number of attacks by the Annihilation Alliance on the star field is still rising. The first of them, the 1688th energy unit, which was attacked, has been destroyed at this moment!! 】

[Other war zones have also been attacked by the enemy!!] 】

[Why was the front of the Annihilation Alliance able to stretch so wide this time!] 】

[What's even more terrifying is that the structural unit of the space-time portal has been destroyed!] 】

Knowing the officer's report, there was an immediate sensation in the council hall!

Although wars with the Annihilation Alliance have broken out from time to time on the border battlefield, it has been 543 epochs since the last time a unit of the [Time and Space Gate] was destroyed by the Annihilation Alliance.

The Gate of Time and Space is composed of a total of 5,120 structural units with different functions and their complex forms.

If more than 10%, or 512 structural units, are destroyed, the normal operation of the Space-Time Gate will be broken.

If more than 30%, or 1,536 structural units, are destroyed, the Space-Time Gate will cease to function.

And once more than half of the structural unit structure is destroyed, then the [Time and Space Gate] is completely finished!

Such a serious situation, in the long years after the completion of the [Time and Space Gate], only happened in the great accident of the 182741 Era. It was that unexplained catastrophe and the rebellion of the artificial intelligence integrated system that occurred in the 182751 Age that caused the worlds on the edge of the universe to fall into the Second Age of Great Chaos. (See Chapter 694.) ）

[What does this mean, won't we be able to wait for reinforcements!?] After listening to the briefing, the commander of the Chaoyang Civilization Fleet asked.

At this time, General Meng Chao had already interpreted the instructions issued by the Supreme Military Executive Yuan of the Alliance to the Fourth Combat Group through brain waves, he pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone very solemnly: [Although the ace fleets of the main civilization have already rushed to various war zones at this time, it is a pity that our war zones are indeed not within the scope of the reinforcement plan. As for asking for help from the surrounding war zones, it is even more unrealistic. They are already on their own hands at the moment, so the next battle is up to us. The order given to us by the Military Executive Yuan of the Fourth Combat Group is to strictly guard the energy unit No. 1562 of the "Gate of Time and Space", and not to give up resistance until the last moment. 】

[We can only rely on ourselves, and we have to hold on to the last moment. However, the situation is already very clear, this time the enemy is unprecedentedly strong, and strategically, we have lost the best time to counterattack......] The words of the commander of the Chaoyang Civilization Fleet were full of pessimism, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly asked, [By the way, what about the enemy's situation? What about the situation of the enemy, in other theaters of operations, you can always find some situation of annihilation of the alliance fleet, right? 】

[Didn't find it!] 】

General Meng's answer was brief, but it hit everyone's sensitive nerves like a heavy blow.

[How could there be no discovery!?] Another leader of the coalition fleet in the first defense echelon asked in astonishment, "Who knows what happened to those war zones that were being attacked by the enemy?" How was Unit 1688 destroyed by the Annihilation Alliance? 】

[In fact, the other theaters have obtained equally little information, except for those residual hydrogen atoms and neutrinos, they know no more than us......] General Mengchao's voice became deeper and deeper, [As for the destroyed 1688th energy unit, it can now be confirmed that there was no expected big explosion or a terrifying energy shock. Everything was peaceful, but all the celestial bodies, all the garrison fleets, all disappeared without a trace, as if the cosmic void had never existed in the first place. 】

[This...... How is this possible? 】

[Could it be that even the core black hole of the quasar group in the 1688th energy unit region has disappeared?] 】

Now, the council hall had finally erupted completely, and infinite horror and disbelief filled the entire dome hemispheric space.

[Yes, all super-black holes are gone, and they are completely gone.] 】

General Meng Chao answered everyone's questions slowly and gloomily.

When he finished speaking, the fierce atmosphere that had already erupted inside the council hall suddenly took a turn for the worse, and everyone became stunned and silent, and a trace of instinctive horror emanated from the deepest part of their bodies.

At this moment, the entire dome hemisphere space seemed to have truly turned into a dark cosmic void.

For a while, all the representatives of the coalition forces had difficulty accepting such a fact.

[Since when did the gap between us and the Annihilation Alliance become so large!] 】

This time it was the Commander of the Messenger Civilization Fleet, who had been silent in every meeting in the past.

As the veteran civilization that created the Salvation Alliance, and as the main force of the first defense echelon of the garrison coalition this time, it was really difficult for them to accept the sudden astonishing gap.

In the past history, the Celebrant Civilization Fleet has had more than once fought fierce wars with those artificial intelligence and mechanical civilization fleets, but it has never been like this one-sided beating by the enemy!

[We've fallen into passivity, that's a fact! General Meng replied, "Perhaps the Annihilator Alliance's exploration beyond the edge of the cosmic horizon has made an important breakthrough. But in any case, we are now facing a very unfavorable situation on the entire border battlefield. 】

Thinking of the theoretical or technical breakthroughs that the enemy might have made on the border battlefield, Yuan Haochen suddenly made the following speculation: "General Meng, commanders, since the enemy has been invisible throughout the entire battle, can we infer that they have launched an attack on us through a higher dimension than the four-dimensional space?" ”

[Higher Dimension!? 】

[You mean more than five dimensions of space. 】

[No, this is impossible, how can the Annihilation Alliance master the relevant technology!] 】

Indeed, just as the third spatial dimension is not visible to the second spatial dimension, and the fourth spatial dimension is not visible to the third spatial dimension. If the fleet of the Annihilation Alliance is indeed hidden within the fifth dimension and launches an attack on the coalition forces, then the dilemma encountered by the current coalition fleet can be explained theoretically and logically.

However, Hara's inference was immediately questioned by many. Moreover, these questioners are all members of the highest-ranking civilization in the Salvation Alliance.

Afterwards, General Meng Chao also looked at the image projected by Yuan Haochen in the center of the council hall and said: [Leader of human civilization, your inference is theoretically credible and possible! Moreover, there are already quite a few space scientists in the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the Alliance who have put forward the same views as you. However, after a complex and detailed comprehensive assessment, the Alliance's Supreme Academy of Sciences has made a very positive conclusion: the Annihilation Alliance will not have the ability to send fleets into more than five dimensions for a long time. 】

For many epochs, in order to understand the mysterious universe in which we exist, many super civilizations that have saved the alliance have challenged more advanced space science, and they have built countless high-dimensional models for this purpose, and even advanced the theoretical dimension to a very high level.

However, although in basic mathematical theory, they can vaguely touch some clues of high-dimensional space, in basic physical theory, the realization of higher-dimensional space is constrained by countless physical phenomena, and they have never been able to seek it.

Therefore, they do not believe, and really do not want to believe, that the Annihilation Alliance has been able to peek into the mysteries of higher latitudes and be able to use it to strike at them.

Although Yuan Haochen was not yet aware of the actual progress of the research of higher latitude space technology by various advanced civilizations, he could understand their thoughts and feelings.

Therefore, in response to the many doubts, Yuan Haochen didn't say anything, just thought solemnly.

"Can't you send a fleet into higher latitudes......
