Him and their stars.

Chapter 1835 Leviathan War

The most terrifying cosmic legend in the past ten centuries, is this it?

The Mechanical Demon King of the Abyss Nebula? That's it!?

The top of the food chain in a forbidden zone of civilization? That's it! ! ?

It feels like if a single fighter plane passes by, it wouldn't even have to use ballistics or torpedoes, and just a round of machine gun fire would be enough to tear this old ship apart like a building block.

It's like the final devil has a slime face, which is indeed a bit hard for everyone to accept.

Anyway, several minutes later, the first mate finally said in a not very convincing voice: "We don't have a picture of the 'Ghost Dreadnought' in our database, but it should be the only one."

"I thought that since it's a terrifying ghost battleship, it should be more ferocious. There should at least be green light coming out of the ship, and there should be ferocious demon heads and skull reliefs on the side of the ship. It would be best if there were some ghost shadows swaying around the ship." said the surveyor.

His understanding of ghost ships was obviously influenced by literary works, but there are many people who share the same understanding as him.

"There is no image of the ghost ship in our database... Can the Sky Survey Eye capture any high-energy reactions?" asked the captain.

He got an answer immediately.

"Nothing. Not even basic energy reaction." The navigator scratched his scalp.

"What a ghost ship..."

"But the question is, how does it fly? Whether it's a chemical engine, a plasma engine, or a neutrino engine, there must be some energy reaction, right?"

"So, it's a ghost ship. Hey, don't you look stupid if you're still entangled in such common sense?"

The first mate suggested: "We can consider letting the Sky Survey Eyes get closer."

"At the current speed of the Sky Survey Eye, it will enter the ghost...the theoretical maximum alert range of the unidentified warship in half a minute at most." The navigator hesitated for a moment, but ultimately he could not use the term "ghost ship" in the formal combat order.

Captain Nemo, who was resolute and resolute, showed obvious confusion. He looked at Yu Lian with a look of regret and help in his eyes.

"Patrol Sky Eye, don't move." Yu Lian said.

"clear."

"What I mean is that the Sky Survey Eye stops patrolling, turns off the camera, and goes into full latent mode."

Although everyone couldn't understand it immediately, they still carried it out directly.

After a few seconds, the image of the "ghost ship" completely disappeared from the screen of the bridge. Only the active gravity source radar could show that the opponent began to accelerate, and even put itself into a charging state in a very short time.

It is difficult for everyone to understand what it feels like to see a car speed up to 300 kilometers per hour in less than a second after just starting, and it is also difficult to imagine what a visual spectacle it is for a ship to go from a semi-stationary cruise to a charging state without stopping. But after the Sky Survey Eye began to lurk, all of this was no longer visible.

The soldiers could only see the old ship "full of historical vicissitudes" with their own eyes through the gravity source radar and entered the charge state seamlessly.

Everyone was greatly shocked by this amazing sight. The reason why they did not enter emergency status was probably because the ship was not charging towards them, but towards the position of the stars in the local galaxy at the 5 o'clock direction.

In other words, they should be heading for the group of dome whales. If the two sides were to move according to the current orbit, they would meet in the outer orbit of the star in one to two hours at most.

The Ghost Dreadnought is preparing to attack the Dome Whale?

The crew members made a judgment based on their military common sense, but they were still not sure, so they subconsciously looked in the direction of the scientific officer.

The latter was about to cry, but still reported in a serious manner: "There is no record of this. It has been more than a thousand years since the Ghost Dreadnought was first witnessed. There is really no record of this. It did not take the initiative to leave the cruising silicon base, but attacked the Leviathan outside the warning range. Really not. My doctorate in astrophysics and cosmic biology is useless, but you can't even deny the history written in black and white, right?"

Everyone said "Oh" and looked at the omnipotent Captain Yu.

"That's true." Yu Lian said.

However, there is one thing he did not say: in the thousand years since the ghost ship was sighted, no ancient species of dome whales have appeared in the Abyss Nebula.

Yu Lian now understood. The "whaling ship" that Xiao Hui mentioned was the legendary "Ghost Dreadnought". The reason why it had not performed its duties in the past vast years was probably because there was no prey worthy of its own action.

As an automatic fishing equipment, it operates in the farm it is responsible for and will not start "fishing" until prey that exceeds the specifications appears. From this perspective, it is also a kind of intensive farming.

Well, the "prohibited matters school" mentioned by Xiao Hui sounds quite villainous, but even if they are engaged in breeding work, it still complies with all basic laws.

Of course, all of the above is Yu Lian’s guess, but at least it is logical.

Captain Nemo asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Having been through many battles, he really didn't know what to do when faced with this kind of cosmic ghost story, so he had to give up treatment.

Fortunately, he can still turn to the almighty commander for help.

"Continue to pretend to be Ti Yang Kai. We have already adapted to this matter," Yu Lian ordered.

"Understood." The captain saluted, seeming to be relieved.

"Also, the entire ship remains in combat readiness. All crew members can change into protective clothing, and the pilots of torpedo boats and fighter planes can also enter the cockpit and stand by. Tell them to prepare diapers first. Ahahaha!"

Anne Romanova glanced at Yu Lian. She was still the captain of the new Shenzhou 1, and she still felt that the second officer and first helmsman on the bridge was more suitable for her.

The captain nodded meticulously and said, "Understood... But, sir, can I ask you one more question, which target will we fight next?"

Yu Lian smiled and said, "If you could choose, which one would you like to fight?"

Isn't this obvious? That's the great-grandmother of Edelweiss, and she was very friendly to us along the way. On the other side, there's the ghost battleship whose evil name has echoed in the universe for ten centuries!

Isn’t it very clear what is the enemy and what is mine?

Although Captain Nemo felt this way emotionally, as a professional officer who had experienced many battles, he could not distinguish between good and evil like a child.

He twitched his mouth and revealed an awkward smile, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Feifei smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Captain. We won't play the role of villain."

Captain Nemo immediately understood what this meant. Although he had a look on his face like "I'm going to kill XX, is this true?", he was still very pleased and even a little excited like a child. He really felt that he was about to defeat the monster.

In any case, at this time, it is a blessing to have instructions.

Yu Lian asked Feifei: "If we choose to sit back and watch the fight, wouldn't that be a loss of character?"

"In the universe, adhering to the same moral ethics is a luxury and a meaningless thing." Feifei smiled and said, "As for our purpose of action, we must first figure out what we are facing. Also, who are our friends and who are our enemies. This is the prerequisite for everything."

Yu Lian felt that these words were very familiar and sounded particularly pleasant.

"After all, we are now allies of the Gray Lady. She is our friend now, and the enemies she points out are our enemies." Feifei said.

Well, although Feifei doesn't like Xiaohui, when something really happens, she can still distinguish between friends and enemies.

Feifei added: "Then, it's a secondary factor."

"Secondary factors?"

Feifei put her hands on her hips and said as a matter of course, "Of course, I have to keep my mind balanced."

It simply means that psychics still cannot let go. Yu Lian agrees 100% with this point.

He eagerly hoped that today's events would end in a perfect way, which was very important to him.

The ghost ship still seemed to be unaware that there was such an intruder who was watching from the sidelines in the galaxy it was in. It just followed the instructions of its own AI and quickly accelerated towards the whale group in the distance. The invisible energy shield suddenly started up, isolating all cosmic radiation, and the ugly spots on the surface of its armor seemed to have been cleaned by the most powerful automatic cleaning device, and the whole body was instantly refreshed.

The vicissitudes of history disappeared instantly, and the cold and proud metallic luster returned to the outer armor of the warship. It took less than half a second for this automatic dreadnought to transform from an old cargo ship into the most deadly mobile steel fortress. A cold light began to flicker on the hull.

Unfortunately, the Sky Survey Eye is now in silent mode, so the soldiers on Earth can still witness the spectacular and even magnificent scene of changing clothes with their naked eyes.

However, they clearly felt that the group of dome whales in the distance and the group of Ti Yangkai around them were changing from a leisurely state to a tense state, just like a flock of sheep that sensed a predator approaching.

But in fact, it was a bit unexpected that they only reacted now.

Feifei pondered, "After all, these Leviathans are half-physical and half-energy creatures. They don't need eyes, hearing, or smell. They locate space and sense external objects through the perception of information. The automatic dreadnought operates according to existing program rules and has no information."

"..." Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Yu Lian showed a shocked expression, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

Most people in the film industry are idiots and naive people. I thought you, Feifei, would be an exception.

"What the hell is that expression of yours that you use to look at an illiterate? If this kind of line is used in a movie, many people will think it is a classic." Feifei said unhappily.

"Who said the program has no information? Xiao Hui will be very sad to hear it."

"But there must be a difference between life and non-life. Although this sounds anti-scientific, it is the fact. I hope Xiao Hui can understand it." Feifei shrugged.

When did you start calling yourself "Xiao Hui" like me?

In short, Feifei's judgment may be correct. The Ghost Dreadnought is acting naturally according to the active AI mode, and the information it displays is indeed no different from the occasional passing meteorite. It was not until it arrived at the cosmic point less than 1500 million kilometers away from the Dome Whale Group that its prey seemed to have really discovered the existence of this "predator".

At this distance, even the "unworthy barbarians" of this generation's civilization would have to react and start fighting.

The ancient species Ti Yangkai finally responded. The halo flowing around it began to dissipate, and its body gradually solidified into a solid body, which was even larger than the automatic dreadnought.

The huge body moved rhythmically under the sunlight, and its smooth surface seemed to form a crystal clear mirror, allowing the surging power to flow in the deep starry sky.

As it swam, its long, winding whiskers slowly extended from the tail of the giant whale to the more distant stars. The brilliant and colorful rays of light flowed through it, hiding a myriad of weather conditions.

And his fellow tribesmen, obscured by the glow of the sunset glow, could no longer be seen clearly, and were fleeing in all directions of the starry sky.

The ancient chief of the Dome Whale tribe is ready to stand up his ancient, huge and powerful body to fight against the terrible predator and protect his people and descendants.

But before that, the Ghost Dreadnought took the lead in launching an attack. The colorless energy beam started the attack first, and in just a blink of an eye, it completed the distance beyond the physical constraints and pounced on the ancient dome whale.

The effect was like water waves, rolling on the mirror-like body armor of the space whale, and then disappeared. It seemed that reaching out to the space had no effect at all. But in fact, some of his defenses that surpassed the concepts of advanced physics and mysticism had been taken away.

The next second, the dreadnought once again burst into full glory, and various energy bombardments intertwined into a gorgeous and magnificent light net in space, like a huge fishing net spread out for a big fish.

However, facing such an attack, the sacred and majestic Dome Whale did not flinch at all. Her huge body displayed breathtaking movements, flexibly avoiding most of the attacks from the dreadnought, and at the same time actively heading towards the dreadnought.

The rays of light behind him continued to spread into the starry sky, then suddenly stagnated, and then suddenly shattered, forming layers of mirrored armor. The energy network released by the Ghost Dreadnought flowed and pulsated in the mirrored barrier, as if being sucked into an endless vortex, and soon lost all its destructive power.

No one could see what kind of attack it made, but it did make an attack. The shield of the automatic dreadnought began to flicker, and the energy ripples continued to spread, even reflecting a bright blue halo.

Now, this ghost dreadnought seemed to be constantly whipped by an invisible whip, and it was no longer clear who the real ghost was.

The structure of the force field shield itself is of course colorless. In fact, all refraction and scattering phenomena are caused by the shield being impacted by high power.

If it were a warship currently in service in various countries, this heart-pounding blue or green light would flash five or six times, which would mean that the shield would be reset.

However, the blue light around the Ghost Dreadnought was like a frequency-hopping colored light, flickering continuously, but it never broke. This could only mean that the total amount of its shield value was so much that it made people despair, and its recovery ability was also faster than everyone's imagination.

The ghost ship relied on its own shield to resist the attacks of its prey, adjusting the direction of the ship while also adjusting its own attack angle.

The colorless bombardment light flashed again. Finally, it broke through the shackles of the sunset glow and hit the body of the dome whale at close range.

Of course, there was no explosion at the scene, but cracks appeared on the mirror-like smooth body. Then, all the rays of light behind it dimmed. The mirror barrier that was both offensive and defensive had a huge hole.
