. Chapter 824: Shadow Space

Under the joint order of the two emperors, the emperor's ** battle line shrank across the board, and the celestial system fleet took the initiative to retreat to the vicinity of the Mobrado star system after launching an ineffective emperor's breath, and then, we began to take the initiative to abandon the heavy space fortresses located in the remote areas of the galaxy, even if some of those fortresses were really important space arsenals - this series of changes was completed in less than a day, and before the revenge army reacted, the emperor ** had already concentrated all the main forces together, The posture of preparing for the final decisive battle was made, which was obviously beyond the expectations of the enemy. {xiaoshuoyd/.net initial text}

We do prepare for a decisive battle, but not here.

The base of Fog God has been dismantled, and the general flagship of the Imperial Admiral and a dozen large motherships that make up this megacity have left the turbulent hell planet and reformed and assembled into a battleship state in space, leaving only a few observation posts and a teleportation device to transfer the remains of the "Mausoleum" back to Shadow City. Space was filled with majestic Imperial ships, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire high orbit of Mirais, and the poor dozen or so sampan ships of the Mobrado "Space Force" who came to see them off were inconspicuously shrouded in the shadow of the Admiral's horizontal arm, looking like fragile plants about to fall.

But that's not bad, at least the Pope reorganized the "Space Force" under the auspices of the United Forces, which had been abolished for more than a hundred years, in a matter of days, and in a short time they learned how to fly to the borders of their homeland in warships, which is remarkable efficiency. Due to the existence of the Guilty Sword, which turns the regular Space Force into scrap metal, the Blue Church has long forbade the United States from placing any armed vehicles in space.

The spherical shell enveloping the entire giant planet, the boundless silver-gray sè interstellar giant ship at a glance, and the imperial fleet that can make the stomach of the new recruits who have just entered the battlefield turn their stomachs with just one glance gave these Mobrado soldiers a great shock, and the edited war scenes they saw from the bulletin board above the city obviously did not look like this. I found that some of them took the initiative to join the army with a little enthusiasm and the instigation of the Pope, something different appeared in their eyes, which I had never seen in the eyes of any Mobradoran, the curiosity and enthusiasm of the unknown world without fear, it seems that the younger generation of any world world is the strongest in plasticity, and I don't know what means the Dao Pope used to make these young master soldiers who were originally comfortable in a comfortable and peaceful life have this kind of transformation, But it must be a good thing.

"Restless young people always exist, and I've spent three hundred years just letting these fires learn how to hide themselves," On the bridge of the Imperial Admiral, the Holy Pope who was allowed to land here for the first time seemed a little moved, and also a little restrained, because the eyes of several powerful leaders from other vassal races around him were not very warm, so his tone when he spoke was also a little awkward, "They were all unstable elements who were strictly guarded, young heretics with active thoughts, and they were very curious, accustomed to contesting the knowledge of the sages, so that in the original Mobrado society they were ostracized wild children......"

"This kind of person is the easiest to save the world," I muttered to my sister beside me, "How many of you see that Gundam has gone to party school?" ”

My sister glared at me secretly, and said to the Pope: "The emperor will go to another space parallel to the real world to solve the battle, including the last garrison here, we will also withdraw, do you understand?" ”

Since the upcoming battle is not trivial, Sandora wants to make our success rate the highest, so any army is essential, we estimate that once the shadow space is breached, the revenge army will immediately return to their lair, so after we completely leave the real space, this may become a safer place than now, but we know this, the people of Mobrado don't know how to calm everyone, it's up to the Pope, I hope he won't let us down.

"Rest assured, the Mobradorans have indeed been at peace for too long, but mortals have always adapted to their environment quickly, and I think now they have the most basic consciousness."

The Holy Pope bowed to us with a expressionless (unmistakable) face, "The strength of the sage fleet has allowed them to find new support, and I am trying to use another thing to send the blood of the next generation, such as the fanaticism for religion and jihad, which only needs to change the religious propaganda we have been carrying out a little, at most a generation or two, and the effect will appear, and I have already chosen a few 'saints' to be the foreground......"

"That's your business, don't report to me about such minutiae. {xiaoshuoyd/.net first text}" Shandora waved her hand, allowing the Pope to swallow back the second half of the sentence, "Anyway, you're a little more qualified now, maybe I'll consider giving you a chance to retake the exam." We'll have some of the Civilization's minions left behind to protect the system, and they are among the Empire's best and bravest warriors. However, the chances of an enemy attack after we leave are slim to none, so I should give you some psychological comfort. ”

"Thank you for your grace." The Pope bowed slightly, and seeing that we had nothing else to do, he consciously left the bridge, and a moment later, from the holographic projection, we saw a dozen or so sampans of Mobrado departing the Imperial fleet at a rapid pace.

"It's finally a bit of progress." Sandora glanced at the holographic projection, then switched to a different scene on the officer's platform.

The images of Miria and Bubbles appear on the screen, both of them currently floating in crystal prisms, the former still looking curious and full of curiosity, and the latter with their eyes closed and looking like they are pretending to sleep, behind them is a vast silvery room, a large number of crystal prisms are scattered not far behind them: it is the entire Xiling host array.

"How does it feel?" I smiled and asked the picture of the blond less nv.

"It's amazing," Miria tapped at the crystal barrier in front of her, "it seems that the mind has split into two parts, one part in this pillar, and one part extending into the Unknown Passage, where there are crystal lattices everywhere. ”

"The servo support module of the host array, Miria's core consciousness has been extended over there." Sandora explained in a low voice.

I nodded, and looked at the other picture in front of me: it was an unusually large Hiling Hive, it could be said that in addition to its normal shape, its size had exceeded the necessary specifications of a Hive, the building stood on a smooth ground of iron ash, surrounded by a large number of floating ghostly energy lines, and the building seemed to be soaked in some kind of very thick "liquid" body, giving people the feeling of an undersea building.

At the far end of the picture, where the smooth ground of the iron gray sè extends to the end, is a giant sphere with a third of the luke, its surface is smooth, shrouded in a beautiful blue sè shield, and it itself also emits a bright blue light, like a blue sè giant sun rising from the horizon, which is the crystal peak.

As for the giant Hive Hive from before, that's where Miria and Bubbles are now.

The way Tavel found to open the shadow space is based on the interconnection between those containers, and we have confirmed that the black sè metal box is actually a high-speed information interface that simulates the host chā slot, and the process of Miria transmitting through these boxes is actually the process of turning herself into a compressed package and uploading, so these containers are connected to each other, and after scanning the encoding of the containers, we guess that there should be at least one additional container, and it is in the hands of the Avengers. The guess turned out to be correct: both containers had a redundant information channel that was constantly sending information to a mysterious information port that was the same as the one we had previously placed in Shadow Space.

The third container is in shadow space.

The data stored in Miria's core can be used to activate these channels, and at that time, the container located in the shadow space will act as the corner of the information collection device, sending us the real-time spatial coordinates on the other end, and these coordinates will be compared with the coordinate system stored by Miria, and we will get the landing landmark of the revenge army's lair and the shadow space entry code. As for the Avengers, I'm afraid that after we start teleporting, we will destroy the box we have at hand as soon as we start teleporting, but that's okay, anyway, we only need a forty-eight hour teleportation, even if the container in the shadow space is destroyed, with Miria to help calculate, it will be very easy to deduce the void drift of the shadow space in the next forty-eight hours.

Apparently Miria herself can't go to Shadow Space, which is too dangerous, because she has to stay connected to the nearest container while she is "running", and the two boxes we have on hand are placed at the bottom of the chā slot we have for her, and if she is allowed to enter Shadow Space with the Imperial fleet, there is a third chance that she will be uploaded to the third container, which is the base camp of the Avengers - a risk that no one dares to risk. Therefore, she and Bubbles will stay in the real space, and the huge building is the work place where the two of them and a large group of Xiling host parallel matrices work in the real space.

The core of Vista is a metal core that is smaller than Earth's, but surprisingly dense, and it has been transformed by Imperial technicians into a Xiling host support facility that houses a large servo array, and the giant brood is built on the north magnetic pole of this core. Less than 10,000 kilometers away from the star core, is the crystal peak that has sunk to the "bottom of the sea", this special service planet warship will act as a secondary servo array and amplification antenna after the core of the fog god star, so as to distribute the shadow space information output by Miria to all the emperor spacecraft - you know, we still have a fleet of celestial systems waiting to jump, and it is not easy for that thing to enter the shadow space.

Presumably someone has already discovered that the weakest link in the whole plan is the security problem on Miria's side: she is responsible for maintaining the teleportation channel in the real world, and once there is an accident here, the channel will be completely closed, and the last bit of connection between the shadow space and the real universe will be over, and we will be locked up in another world, or even destroyed with that world.

Sending a large number of Imperial fleets to protect Mirosis was a straightforward solution, but it was quickly vetoed by me, because when the enemy is frantically counterattacking, a group of escort ships cannot guarantee absolute safety, and our fleet is already small, and if we divert half of it, we don't have to fight in shadow space. After the last day, Sandora and I felt that as long as we could keep the mother nest at the last moment, we used Jing Sharp Force to protect the core of the fog god star. That's Sicaro and his gang......

You have to admit that although that thing is a stubborn city nemesis, he is really professional in being a bodyguard, he can use his biceps to fight the galaxy main gun, and even carry a Genesis after the explosion - we won't say how long he needs to lie in the repair center after that, anyway, he can really bear it.

As an insurance policy, we also left Ilson, since a few days of helping in the chengguan army, 123 that guy and Sicaro have developed a deep "enemy friendship", they each want to smash each other's heads into the ground, after all, stylish men are born enemies, although one takes the vicissitudes of uncle route, the other takes the handsome god of war style, the two still regard each other as natural enemies in various senses, it is not easy for the two of them to cooperate, Monina paid a punch and kick, and I paid a certain red and white punch and kick.

In short, the safety of the giant brood is guaranteed, and even if Mirais misses, we have enough buffer time to withdraw from the shadow space. And the enemy won't necessarily attack this place: the chances of them finding an information leak in a short period of time are not high.

In addition, there are a small number of "people" who were left in the real space, that is, a group of Gensokyo monsters who were forcibly plugged when they came over this time, and they couldn't get rid of them at the end of the day - I really don't know if Lu Dao is not afraid of death or has no concept of cosmic war at all, and they don't want to go back after a few guys from Azeroth Luàn were driven back, I was afraid that something would happen to them in the shadow space, so I forcibly stayed at the Miston outpost, and also left them with a teleportation, once this place is really attacked, they can run back to AvalonI hope these quirky guys can save me some snacks.

"Parallel processing of provisioned data is normal and ready to start. The downstream host prepares to connect. ”

The sound of the bubble interrupted my distraction - I used to call it thinking, and I noticed that the screen had dimmed at some point, and the servo array of the Xiling host had become the only light source left in the hall in the picture: teleportation had begun.

Shadow space teleportation coordinates and cracking codes were uploaded to all Imperial ships, and countless ships were erased from reality like ghosts fading in the night.

At the very last moment of separation from the main matter plane, I repeated to Miria again: "Remember, you only have forty-eight hours, and at the end of the time you will pull us back, whether we send a return signal or not."

In the sudden increase in interference, Miria's blurry image nodded, and then our direct contact with the most rearly of the main material plane was cut off: from now on, all bandwidth between the Imperial fleet and the surface realm will give way to the shadow channel, and Miria and the Xiling host will ensure that the shadow space will not continue to drift for the next forty-eight hours, otherwise, the emperor will be trapped in this world realm with the avenging army.

"It doesn't look any different from the outside."

Looking at the quiet and deep cosmic space on the star map, he said in a low voice.

"Because it's a shadow of the universe," my sister took a deep breath, "The scene here should be your territory from the Old Empire, right?" ”

The last thing she said was to Sandora, who nodded, and there was still a gloomy look on her face before leaving, but now it was completely indifferent: "According to the star map, this should be near the bright dust mass of the small gold base, and there should be a deep space city in the n77e65 standard direction, it is a large production ......"

The probe who had gone to investigate the situation had discovered the deep space city almost as soon as Sandora had spoken, but the images that had been sent back showed that it was in ruins.

Sandora just sighed and ordered the Royal Fleet to begin converging with the Celestial Systems Fleet.

The Celestial System Fleet has also successfully entered the shadow space, that stellar fortress that is enough to distort the laws of the normal universe is impossible to enter the "other world" so easily, but the shadow space belongs to the special world, it is based on a pile of information from the surface world, and the unique physical disturbance of the ghost energy death star to the surface world will be suppressed to a minimum here, which inadvertently gives us a lot of aspects. The Celestial Systems fleet had corrected its coordinates when it "sank" into shadow space, and it was more than a dozen light-years away from us before it teleported, but only thirty astronomical units away from us after teleportation, which is the limit of what Tavel can do. Through the landscape survey outside the fleet, we can observe the fleet of celestial systems directly with the ROU eye without magnifying the image magnification: in the depths of space, it resembles a bright blue ball.

Thirty planetary battleships are emerging from the "cavitation" bay of the Phantom Death Star, so they are not yet observable.

The convergence of the two fleets was very smooth, and it would not take them a moment to arrive, and it was a pity that the Avengers could not seize the moment to intercept them: of course, the other side would probably not have reacted yet.

After the two forces converged, the Royal Fleet's spacecraft was moored on the second level of the planetary defense circle, and moved along with the entire celestial system fleet in the high orbit of the "Tedahiel" planetary battleship, while the unique Hun fleet of the Civilization Community and the combined fleet of the New Eden Federation advanced with the latter along a very special orbit perpendicular to the equator of the planetary battleship, plus the royal fleet that served as the main escort of the planetary battleship, forming a three-dimensional defense network. Dozens of other Star Battleships have similar escort arrays in the skies: Imperial ships orbit in high orbits that are essentially parallel to the equator, and the Servants operate in a path perpendicular to this orbit, which is widely accepted after testing a variety of options for working with Star Battleships, and it has been proven that we can save a lot of energy by using the gravitational orbit of Star Battleships.

A large number of ultra-high-velocity probes broke away from the loading bay of the Burger-type special service ship (a reconnaissance ship converted from an expeditionary-class skeleton) like a swarm and disappeared into space in a swarm, and immediately, the originally ambiguous shadow space map on the star map, centered on the Imperial fleet, instantly became clear like the car glass brushed by the windshield wipers.

Then, we found two things, the first was a huge building nineteen light-years away, and the information generated near it was a flood of cheers: we found the control core of the shadow space in the first place. As for the second thing......

It's an overwhelming amount of interceptive firepower.
