Chapter 232: Purifying the Core

Various explosions occurred on the surface of the "central processing unit", and the cosmic environment of the vacuum could not prevent the explosion from spreading.

The massive alloy structure also made a mournful roar under the destruction, and even just looking at it, it was as if you could hear the harsh sound of metal breaking.

A large number of giant debris was blasted into outer space, but more often than not, it fell into the star under gravity and became part of the fuel.

All the people who watched this place were silent after seeing this scene.

From the perspective of space alone, it may be difficult to feel too much emotion about this scene, after all, it is just a building, and at most it is just a sigh for the huge building crashing into the stars.

But if you have a little empathy and know what is happening here, it will be difficult to have any emotions other than heaviness.

This is the "brain" that has helped them a lot of mechanical intelligence, and is being treated horribly.

And they can't do anything but look.

“…… What about the core planets of the 'Unexpected Enemy'? If the 'Guardians' can preemptively stop the process of the 'Unexpected Enemy', then there may be a ...... of salvation."

In the meeting hall of the community, a representative of civilization suddenly raised a question, and the meaning of the expression seemed to have a glimmer of life, but there was no trace of hope in his tone.

No one answered him, because everyone knew that the "unexpected enemy" was much faster compared to the destruction efficiency of both sides.

What it is facing is just a stellar structure without any garrison power, although it is large, it is much easier to destroy, and even only needs to blow up some key points to make the stable spatial state between the giant structure and the star unbalanced, and use the gravitational pull of the star to tear the giant structure apart.

However, the "guardians" are faced with well-prepared galactic guardian forces, and even destroying those "artificial intelligence planets" that are the core of the "unexpected enemy" will take more time than destroying a giant structure.

Perhaps sensing the difference in the progress of the two sides, the "Guardian" transferred the last part of the known forces of all civilizations into the battlefield.

The fleets that had never moved in each civilization's home system vanished, and when their signal was detected again, it was in the four core systems of the "unexpected enemy".

These are not the "Guardian Fleets", but the first "Final Defense Fleets" that were sent to each civilization's home system along with the "Guardian Fleet".

As the name suggests, these fleets exist as a "last resort", a defense fleet that will be fought against the "unexpected enemy" who invades the core of civilization.

They represent the last garrison of each civilization, and their destruction is closely related to each civilization.

But this is the kind of fleet, which at this moment is also under the command of the "guardian", and goes to the final battlefield.

“…… Did even this fleet go out? Perhaps, this time it will really be the 'last'......"

Obviously, the battle has reached the end of the game, and in order to eliminate the "unexpected enemy" before the end of the mission, the "guardians" even sent the fleet to protect the flame of civilization to the front battlefield.

This also speaks to one thing on the side, the reserves of the "Guardians" have reached their limits, and this is the last fleet.

As they had thought before, they were now on their own.

“…… So why not get us together? Although our strength is limited, we should be able to drag the pace of the 'unexpected enemy'. ”

Some people were saddened, and couldn't understand why the Guardians were trying to prevent them from joining the battle with their Guardian Fleet at this last minute.

But soon they will find out why.

The sudden increase in the "guardian fleet" also brought a certain degree of change to the "unexpected enemy".

Perhaps believing that the goal has been achieved, or simply feeling that it cannot be delayed any longer, the overwhelming fleet of the "unexpected enemy" used to attack the "central processing unit" has separated.

Half of them were missing, and when they reappeared, they had already jumped to the core system, engaged the Guardians' fleet, and once again delayed the Guardians' efforts to blow up the "AI planets".

The remaining half of the geometric fleet spread out as if it were guarding something, revealing a mediocre-looking battleship in the center of the fleet.

It was also at this point that the "ordinary" battleship changed, and the geometric body began to disintegrate and reassemble, and spliced together with the other geometric battleships around it to form a new kind of battleship.

This seems to be the reason why they are so long, so they can be easily combined, and even the wreckage of a fellow ship can be used many times.

However, seeing that the reorganized battleship was much larger than before, although it still maintained a geometric state in general, the people who saw this strange battleship had a bad premonition in their hearts.

The "Guardian" also suddenly accelerated the pace of the attack, and the fleet, which was already almost suicidal, began to be damaged on a large scale, with the goal of protecting the warships that were dismembering the "artificial intelligence planet".

Time seemed to be racing a bit at this moment, and the special geometric battleship of the "unexpected enemy" also came to the top of the "central processing unit", the muzzle of the gun was facing the central star, and strange energy fluctuations were gathering.

I saw a beam of light that was very faint compared to the brightness of the star from the battleship, and the dim light even made it take some time for the observatory to detect the appearance of this beam.

However, the movement of stars is much more violent.

Stars that should have at least eight billion years to live are beginning to expand at an extraordinary rate, and they can even be seen with the naked eye.

The light emitted by the star also flickered and dimmed, but the overall trend showed that it was getting brighter and brighter, and it was clear that there was something wrong with the fusion reaction inside the star, and it was not a general problem.

Under the injection of that strange beam, the star's lifespan is wearing out abnormally and is quickly reaching a threshold.

While those "artificial intelligence planets" are about to be dismembered, the galactic civilizations have also observed an unforgettable scene.

The swelling star is only one step away from devouring the massive "CPU" around it, but the "unexpected enemy" seems to be ready to completely destroy this "old enemy" in a more secure way.

And so the star exploded.

In just a few hours, it has advanced billions of years of life, turning all those parts that have not yet had time to experience them into energy that is released to the outside world.

Powerful electromagnetic radiation and mass ejections can wipe out almost all life in galaxies, and signs of supernova explosions can be detected here hundreds or even thousands of years later.

Unlike the material that is ejected outward, the material in the center of the star collapses inward under high temperature and pressure, forming a small black hole.

The outbreak lasted for a long time, but the results were known well in advance.

The broken "CPU" that kept the "Guardian" running was completely destroyed, and there was not even a bit of scum left.

When they came back in the future, all they saw was a black hole named "Central Processing Unit" and traces of supernova explosions covering the entire galaxy.

“……”

The heavy atmosphere had never dissipated in the community hall, but this time it became heavier with the explosion of the "central processing unit".

They feel that they should be sad, but there is no time for them to be sad now, and the moment the "CPU" is destroyed, it means that they will face this crisis in the true sense of the word.

“…… What kind of battleship is that? If anything, it seems to be similar to the 'Colossus', both of which are superweapons that can directly destroy the planet, but ......"

—but it destroys the stars, using principles we don't know. This is much more efficient than the 'Colossus', not to mention whether the cosmic environment after the black hole is still suitable for life, take the supernova explosion before the collapse into the black hole, we are all difficult to resist, and the life in the entire galaxy will die in an instant. ”

"It is clear that the 'Unexpected Enemy' is no longer as cautious about every galactic planet as it used to be...... Maybe it's because we feel that we are too ingrained and must adopt drastic drugs? ”

The kind of battleship that can destroy the star really shocked them, and they didn't think that the "unexpected enemy" actually hid such a hand, and secretly took out a big thing that could detonate the star in a very short time.

"Maybe this is what the 'Unexpected Enemy' should have used to carry out the 'Purification', after all, it can destroy a galaxy at a time, which is too efficient......"

"Perhaps, the 'Guardians' came to our aid to our 'Guardian Fleet' to guard against such warships. After all, our species is fragile, and even a small change in the stars is enough to cause the migration of an entire civilization......"

"We have a desperate attitude and want to fight to the death with the 'guardians' and exchange the space of the civilized star field for time, but in fact, people have already thought about everything.

"If we really pull the 'Guardian Fleet' into the battle, then the 'Unexpected Enemy' will probably destroy the entire galaxy directly along with the stars like this, and then civilization will really be cut off......

“…… So, what happened to the 'guardians'? ”

The words of another representative caused the audience to fall silent, although they did not want to believe it, but even the "central processing unit" was destroyed, and the result was already self-evident.

In the end, it was a representative who brought the results of the communication of the civilization behind him:

“…… I won't say more, I've got public permission, so let's see for yourselves. ”

As he said this, the contents of the footage were exposed.

That's when their civilized diplomats are trying to communicate with the "guardians", and on top of the huge screen, there is a large amount of chaotic characters accumulated.

From the beginning of the decisive battle, they have maintained unilateral communication with the "guardian", and have been paying attention to the status of the "guardian" all the time.

It was also when the "CPU" was blown into a black hole, and the screen, full of chaotic characters, fell into a dead silence.

It's as if the computer suddenly crashes, not responding to any access, and no matter how it is called, the screen will show "empty".

The once chaotic character at least represents "alive", but this empty silence heralds the eternal departure of a civilization.

It's not like the galaxy has never experienced the destruction of a lost empire, but this time it's more heavy than ever.

The figures frantically operate the instruments, trying to extract a response from the dimly lit screen, praying for a "miracle" like the incarnation of the god who once "custodified".

At this moment, the once cold dialogue of the "guardian" and the text content of the standard actually seemed extremely cordial.

At some point, they have become accustomed to a mechanical dialogue with the "guardian", and they would rather see those contents than see a "dead and silent" "guardian".

However, the miracle did not happen, and the "CPU" that has become a black hole represents the "death" of that mechanical intelligence.

“…… The past deserves our remembrance and respect, but now we should focus on the present. ”

The representative of the Tinder Alliance spoke, and the mournful atmosphere in the hall was changed, and his voice was full of perseverance and anger.

"It is so disgraceful that we need a civilized sacrifice in exchange for salvation, why do we do nothing? Why are we always dependent on others? Could it be that the countless years before stepping into the stars were wasted? ”

"We waste too much energy on other things, we have no treasure in our hands, but it takes an excessive amount of time to turn it into motivation for progress, and we can do better than us with an amoeba!"

"My civilization leader has sent a message, no matter what the outcome of this time, we will all resign from the position of 'Council Civilization', we are all interstellar civilizations, and we are still fighting over like a group of uncivilized natives, and the sacrifice of the 'guardians' is wasted."

"Now, it's all our turn to confront the dangers that the 'Guardians' once had. After the destruction of the four 'AI planets', their signal sources all point to another galaxy that has not yet been discovered, which is the real core of the 'Unexpected Enemy'! ”

"Obviously, the 'unexpected enemy' fought to the death with the 'guardian' after this wishful thinking, but the planets destroyed by the 'guardian' are not without any effect on it, and its current computing power may not be as good as the previous 'guardian'."

As he spoke, the representative of the Tinder Alliance directly put on his coat and left the venue, and his last words still echoed here for a long time:

"That's it, this is our last chance to end this crisis, even if I pile up corpses, I will pile them to death!"

The delegate conveyed the leader's orders with anger in his heart, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that they had killed a "protector" because they were too weak.

Since this matter is irreparable, revenge is one of the few things they can do.

Infected by this enthusiasm, more and more people stood up and left the place in a hurry.

Everything in the hall was known to the high-level of each civilization, and the intrigues and deliberations of the past also dissipated in a passing cloud at this time.

After the fire has been ensured to be sent to the hidden place, these decision-makers who shoulder the burden of civilization have only one thought in their hearts, and that is to kill the "unexpected enemy".

It's not about survival, it's not about honor, it's just because of a lot of blood.

A large number of stories related to the "guardians" have been reprinted, and the full picture of this crisis has emerged before the public's eyes.

In a very short period of time, the ignited emotions ignited a wave of anger like a spark.

The fleet was once again assembled, and the Guardian Fleet, which had lost its command after the demise of the Guardians, returned to the grasp of civilizations.

The "experimental jump engine", which can only be used once, shows that this is destined to be a journey with no return.

The fog that shrouded the galaxy was exposed to the observatory as the signal was directed, and a "super artificial intelligence planet" that was far larger than the usual planet size was the most remarkable place here.

This is the last heart of the "Unexpected Enemy", a "control center" called the "Purification Core".

Geometric warships patrol the area, and the entire reddish galactic fortress also exudes a powerful aura.

However, none of this could stop the final moment from coming quickly.

A large amount of "garbage" jumped here, mixed with sporadic "Guardian Battleships".

Even if it is shattered under the firepower of the "unexpected enemy", it cannot prevent more and more "garbage" from jumping here.

As they say, heap corpses and heap them to death!
