Chapter 554: Half Four-Dimensional Space (2)

At 14:30 a.m. standard time, the Spirit, which was carrying all the members of the reconnaissance fleet, slowly left the advance fleet assembly area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In the info communication link, the passionate pre-war mobilization has ended, and the enthusiastic rookie recruits tremble and return to their respective stations to rest under the listless leadership of the old fritters. These hot-headed recruits would definitely be the first to die on a battlefield in the heat of battle, and the veterans were too lazy to remember each other's names because they had to find a way to forget.

No. 3072-07-B15, a battleship that Cheng Mingli is very familiar with, is now fortunate to be the station of Cheng Mingli's trio. The soldiers of the vanguard regiment of the three brigades and a part of Dyson's elite forces led by Jing filled the entire battleship to the brim, which was completely overloaded. That is, the entire fleet is now piled up in the starport of the Courage, otherwise once the battleship is devastated, the elite of more than 100,000 people will be wiped out.

Jing's subordinates came here to learn from the scriptures. Two million Dyson soldiers filled almost the entire 3072 fleet, but they had little understanding of the landing operations on strange planets. Backward weapons brought backward tactics, and suddenly they were obviously at a loss for what to do.

During the Courage's breakthrough into the Demon Galaxy, Cheng Mingli's subordinates will conduct assault training for these rookies. Nearly 100% of the simulation exercises in the holographic projection do not guarantee that they will immediately become elite soldiers, but they will not lose their lives out of curiosity after landing on the planet. Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, the Spirit can really break into the demon galaxy with courage, otherwise everything else will be in vain.

"At the beginning of the operation, our three brigades will be divided into squads and integrated into your team, and when the time comes, how to act will be up to the team leader, and if there is any objection, we will communicate with you. Our men carry a lot of supplies with them, and it's a good addition for you. As for what you will do in the future, it depends on the specific performance of your people," Cheng Mingli instructed Jing who was wearing the military uniform of the Purple Chime Flower Knights beside him. Although separating your team as a wet nurse will reduce the combat effectiveness of your own team, there is no better way at present, if this group of Dyson casualties is too large, it will cause a lot of obstacles for the next Dyson people to integrate into such a big society as the Golden Crow fleet.

"Got it! But I have a question," Jing nodded in response to Cheng Mingli's instructions and raised her own doubts.

"What?"

"I have found that your autonomous robot technology is very advanced, and it plays an important role in industry, life and even medical care. In that case, why don't you have a robot legion in your fleet? Wouldn't the production of a large number of robot armies greatly reduce the cost of warfare? With your technology, producing robots isn't a problem, right? Jing raised her head and looked at Cheng Mingli, as if she wanted to confirm whether this liar would deceive herself like a deceiving princess.

"Actually, it's not just us, the vast majority of mature interstellar civilizations don't have a large number of robot legions. It will still be used when the civilization below the fourth level is reached, but once the civilization exceeds a certain stage, the robot army will withdraw from the stage, and at most it will only assist the defense and maintenance of warships" Cheng Mingli organized the language.

"Why? Are you worried about a robot mutiny? "Cheng Mingli has collected a lot of old movies in this area, and Jing has watched these things behind Yan Huijun, such as the Terminator series, from Terminator 1 to Terminator 30, Jing can narrate the plot with her eyes closed.

"This question is only secondary, but the main thing is that the pattern of war has changed. You may not know that the energy shield has the effect of isolating signals, and the more advanced the energy shield, the stronger the ability to isolate signals, and even hyperspace signals can be blocked if the energy level is high. In large-scale space wars, boarding operations are generally carried out, and after the robots break through the enemy ship, once the enemy's energy shield is restored, all the robots will be cut off.

Such a robot is very easy to be breached by the opponent's defense network, and it will even be countered by the opponent when the time comes. Of course, this problem can be commanded by loading artificial intelligence near the robot army, but excellent artificial intelligence is too precious, and in some civilizations, artificial intelligence is the foundation of civilization, and it cannot be lost at all. This is still the case even when the Golden Crow fleet has a lot of artificial intelligence.

I heard that in the past, the humanoids of the Galactic Alliance used to use the robot army for planetary landing warfare, but in the era of the melee of the five clans, with the emergence of the planetary shield and the success of the battlefield signal jammer, the robot legion even lost the ability to carry out large-scale top-ball landing battles, and could only be used as auxiliary troops to follow the soldiers for combat assistance, such as helping soldiers carry equipment or battlefield maintenance and ambulance. Before the popularization of portable space technology (space watches), we also had assistive robots for some time.

There is another point you may overlook, that is, most mature interstellar civilizations are not short of soldiers, let's just say you Dyson people, even after experiencing wars every new moon era, the population is still increasing. The conscription of soldiers from a population of nearly 800 billion is simply endless, let alone civilizations that have developed for tens of millions of years.

In terms of loyalty, comprehensive combat power and overall cost performance, the robot army is not much cheaper. The precious resources required by advanced robots, especially the alloys related to intelligence, are simply sky-high. And it's not that we don't use robot armies, there are a lot of armed robots on our battleship defense nodes, and these things exist in the mezzanine of the battleship, and they don't appear under normal circumstances," Cheng Mingli patiently explained.

"Beep ......" The long alarm sounded everywhere in the battleship, Jing looked up at Cheng Mingli, and her shining eyes seemed to confirm something from Cheng Mingli.

"Whew...... That's right, the action has begun," Cheng Mingli confirmed, then took Xiao Zhao out of his pocket and played a holographic projection in front of his eyes. Semi-intelligent assistant programs have such functions, as long as the information is not secret, with personal authority, it is completely possible to call up the scene detected by the bridge, and the command center sees only a few milliseconds of delay. And this time is not a communication delay, it is completely a process of permission confirmation.

In the dim starry sky, dense particles of debris form a unique patch of interstellar dust. These are all display modules from the wreckage of the previously destroyed destroyer and the range of the detection trap. However, as this time continues to crumble, these wreckage have been shattered into dust, and after a while, it may even form a small nebula.

Suddenly, the scene outside changed. Clusters of black coils abruptly appeared around the battleship. These black coils are constantly curling and twisting, chaotic like fluffy balls of yarn. The battleship shuttled between these balls of yarn, nimbly dodging the entanglement of the black thread. The space around the battleship is very strange, not pitch black, and there are even lights and some blurry images in some places, which look like the battleship is sailing in a wormhole.

"Spirit's dimensional engine was activated, and the black adventure groups that I had just seen were traps on the edge of the Devil's Galaxy, and those dense nets in three-dimensional space should be tight balls in four-dimensional space-time. The space around the Devil Galaxy has been artificially raised by half a dimension, and these tennis balls are the skeleton that maintains this half dimension, so as not to make this space fall to three dimensions," Cheng Mingli checked the information and introduced the crystal. Cheng Mingli doesn't understand these contents, it's completely picking up people's teeth, and the content comes from the information that Biluo hangs in the public link.

"How are these nets made?" Jing looked very surprised.

"Presumably from a spider-like creature in higher latitudes. These spherical nets have been destroyed, otherwise it would be impossible for the space here to be maintained only in half four dimensions, it should be at least in four dimensions," Cheng Mingli continued to parrot.

"It's amazing, just a broken net woven has such a function," Jing was very amazed.

"High-dimensional beings are god-like beings in lower dimensions, but in their own dimension, they may only be at the bottom of the food chain," Cheng Mingli pursed his lips and said noncommittally. This proposition was discussed as early as when Cheng Mingli was a student, and at that time, it was also set off that dimension determines everything, and the ultimate goal of the evolution of intelligent beings is to transcend the cosmic space in which they are located and enter a higher dimension.

However, a large number of people do not think so, and in their opinion, it is ridiculous to make assertions without even figuring out what kind of existence the higher dimensions are. In what form does time exist in four-dimensional space, is it a river? A mountain? Or is it a tree? Therefore, a large part of the population scoffs at the assertion that higher dimensional beings are gods for lower dimensional beings.

"Look, what are those things?" Suddenly, Jing's right hand stretched out and pointed to the corner of the hologram. I saw that in the gap between the two loose black threads, a pile of black 'stones' was piled up, and from the preliminary detection results, these stones were very irregular in shape, and I don't know what kind of existence they are. However, being able to exist in a semi-four-dimensional space is expected to be a very remarkable thing.

Sure enough, the command center also discovered this, tilting more detection resources to that area. Soon, more detailed information arrived. Battleships, those black stones are battleship groups, large areas of battleship groups, intact, broken, all piled up haphazardly, and the surface of many battleships still flashes with slight energy fluctuations.

As the range of the probe scan extended to the periphery, another group of battleships appeared. Judging from the holographic projection, the appearance of the warships of this battleship group does not bear the slightest resemblance to the previous one, and it should belong to another civilization. This made Cheng Mingli very surprised, what kind of civilization do these fleets belong to?

Do they come from the outside or inside of a semi-four-dimensional space? A fleet that can hold out in the semi-four-dimensional space for so long is obviously not an idle person, you must know that the seventh-level battleships of the Golden Crow fleet will not last long at the edge of the Devil Galaxy. The technical content of these warships is definitely higher than the current level of shipbuilding of the Jinwu fleet.

However, as the Spirit continued to go deeper, Cheng Mingli began to become numb. Because more fleets have appeared. In the gap of the black line regiment, groups of intact or damaged fleets were piled together in an orderly manner, and there were quite a few of them, and Cheng Mingli saw more than a dozen piles along the way. These warships are somewhat similar in appearance, but more often there is no resemblance at all. But one thing is for sure, they are all folded here, and the intelligent life inside is probably also very auspicious.

"How long will it take for us to get there?" Jing shrunk his neck and asked Cheng Mingli in a low voice, for fear that the voice would be loud and wake up all these ghostly fleets.

"I don't know, we are no longer in three-dimensional space, and counting units like light years are meaningless at all," Cheng Mingli said blankly as he looked at the battleship not far ahead. It was a very gorgeous battleship, even the armor plate was outlined with brilliant patterns of shining metal, such a ship was either an ambassador ship of a high-level civilization or a high-end cargo for the royal family, but now it was scattered here like rags, and I don't know when it will be able to see the light of day again. Maybe it will have to wait until all this semi-four-dimensional space falls back into the three-dimensional space, but I don't know if the civilization that built it still existed in a corner of the universe at that time, or if it had already turned into the most common dust in the stars.

…………

The command center of the Spirit, the sirens, and the herald kept ringing, and Eugene's face was as white as paper, and his biting lip was dripping blood from the force. Because the Spirit is facing a huge problem in front of it - it is running out of energy!

"Damn! How long can it last? "Could it be that the Spirit will also end up with those warship groups outside? Trapped in this space because of running out of energy or for some other reason, never seeing the light of day? At the thought of such an end, Eugene couldn't help but feel like a dead heart.

"You can sail in such an environment for 30 minutes, and now it seems that you can't get out of here. However, there is another option, and that is to start the dimensional jump engine with all your strength before the amount is exhausted, and jump with all your might. After this dimensional jump, the energy of the Spirit will be completely depleted, and the situation after that is not clear, if we are lucky, we will jump into normal space, and if we are unlucky, we may crash headfirst into the star, or we will still be in semi-four-dimensional space," Biluo said.

“…… Connect me to the ship-wide radio."

"Okay"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the energy of this ship is about to run out, in order to fight for the last ray of life before the energy is exhausted, I have decided to make the last dimensional jump, and ask all personnel to connect to the nearest denial zone to meet the impact that may arrive! May God bless us! …… Jump countdown ready! ......" (To be continued.) )
