With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 462 Blow It Up
"The weakening of the power of the space rift is not difficult to explain. After all, as long as it leaves the starship, it will continue to be assimilated by the normal space around it."

"These spatial rifts have stayed beside the giant scorpion for such a long time. Theoretically, their power will have been greatly reduced."

Hongshi's voice continued to come from the side: "But this actually proves that the giant scorpion does not master time technology."

"Otherwise, with time suspended, the stability of the space rift would never drop so drastically."

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully: "What about the dark matter cannon?"

There was a hint of confusion in Hongshi's dark red pupils: "This is a bit troublesome."

"I know the working principle of the dark matter cannon. Its forward momentum is mainly provided by its own activated dark matter."

"So, in theory, it would only be damaged while it's in flight."

"Wait..." Red Stone paused as if realizing something. "So, I can reverse-deduce the flight distance of the dark matter cannon based on the degree of power attenuation!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and very professionally input lines of complex parameters on the holographic interface in front of her.

"I understand what you mean, but how is this possible?"

Chen Fan leaned over to take a look at the many complex parameters input by the redstone, then he silently retracted his head: "The hatching tower is so small, unless..."

"Unless these space rifts and dark matter cannons are also flying normally when they are 'stationary'!" Red Stone interrupted Chen Fan's words without looking up, "Only in this way can the problem of the power attenuation of the two be perfectly explained!"

Chen Fan was stunned immediately.

The shells are still flying normally when they are "stationary".

This sentence seemed a little strange at first, but Chen Fan soon thought of something that happened before.

"what do you mean……"

【Attention! The attack has hit the enemy target! 】

As the prompt sound of the ship's main computer rang out, the black light outside the porthole suddenly became brighter!
The saturation attack launched by the Investigator Starship has completely submerged the space where the giant scorpion is located! !
The black light produced by the explosion filled the vast space. Black lightning moved wantonly among the black light, striking fiercely at the giant scorpion larva in the center.

A pale golden barrier and a dark purple protective force field lit up inside the starship and the hatchery tower respectively, blocking these indiscriminate attacks that did not distinguish between friend and foe.

Time passed bit by bit, and as the black light of the dark matter cannon gradually dissipated, a spherical shield with a strange shape and a black surface appeared in front of Chen Fan and others.

Looking closely, that was not a spherical shield at all, but a spherical "bomb" formed by countless activated dark matter and space cracks!
Not bad.

When approaching the giant scorpion, these powerful space cracks and dark matter cannons once again "stagnated" around the giant scorpion, and thus formed a hybrid bomb that completely enveloped the giant scorpion! !

Chen Fan stared blankly at the scene outside the porthole and whispered his guess:
"…Information barrier?!"

At the same time, a string of complex data popped up on the holographic interface in front of Redstone.

"The calculation results are out." Hongshi's voice was a little hoarse. "Just like what I said just now, the space rift and the dark matter cannon are not still. They are still flying normally."

"However, they can never cross that last bit of distance, and naturally cannot really attack the giant scorpion larvae."

Chen Fan took over the conversation: "Just like the support fleet outside the antimatter universe, no matter how hard they try, they can't really reach the anti-universe."

The cockpit fell into silence instantly.

……

The good news is that the previous speculation about scorpion eggs was indeed correct.

Those super-large insect eggs that are hundreds of meters in size and the giant scorpions hatched inside them have indeed mastered the information interference technology.

Correspondingly, Wang Jing's plan to learn from the scorpion eggs and larvae also achieved the prerequisites, and even the probability of the support fleet successfully breaking through the information barrier was greatly improved.

The bad news is...

Before that, they had to first "jump over the line" to a giant scorpion larva that had mastered the information interference technology.

After realizing this, Chen Fan suddenly felt unwell.

No, buddy?!
You can't do this if you go beyond your authority!

boom! ! !
As another explosion flashed outside the porthole, the dark matter cannon and space rift that were previously "stationary" in the air suddenly dissipated.

Almost at the same time, the giant scorpion appeared out of nowhere and pounced on the side of the investigator starship, launching a desperate attack on the starship with its scorpion tail and gastropod.

"How can we fight this?"

Seeing the shield load starting to rise again, Chen Fan couldn't help but swear, "What a damn shame!"

As long as that layer of information barrier is still there, the attacks they launch won't even be able to touch the giant scorpion!

If it had any hair at all.

On the other hand, the giant scorpion’s attacks are not very powerful, but they are effective and precise!
Of course, outside the incubation tower, there is the Gaia planetary fortress and scientific research ships, so the investigator starship is not actually in much danger.

Theoretically, the Investigator Starship could even engage in a war of attrition with the giant scorpion and wear it down to death.

but……

Damn it, there is no time! !

In less than 32 hours, the first batch of giant scorpions will arrive at the place of creation! By then, this lucky surviving larva will receive its own reinforcements and even a large amount of resources...

By the time it fully grows up, their doom will be here - let alone the investigator starship, even the Gaia planetary fortress may not be its match!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's face changed slightly and he couldn't help but shiver.

Not only Chen Fan, Hongshi also quickly realized the current stalemate.

She blinked and looked at Chen Fan beside her for help: "Chen Fan, what should we do now?"

"What should we do?" Looking at the giant scorpion larvae that were still attacking the starship's shield, Chen Fan laughed angrily, "What else can we do? We can only think of a way to break that layer of shield!"

He never expected that he, who was in the anti-universe, would face the same situation as the support fleet outside the anti-universe.

but……

Unlike the support fleet, he was not helpless against this useless information barrier.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan cast his gaze towards the base of the incubation tower under the starship.

"Do you remember the small informational weapons that Lu Zu mentioned at that time?"

The corner of his mouth rose and he extended his right index finger: "Listen to me, I have an immature idea."

"We have so many light stones now. I'll find a chance to lure the giant scorpion larvae to one of the light spots, and then..." Chen Fan's smile became more obvious, "Blast it hard!"

"Will this... work?" Hongshi swallowed his saliva, his dark red eyes trembling slightly, "And these light stones... don't they have to be sent for experiments?"

"Who knows?"

Chen Fan shrugged: "Anyway, there are so many light stones, it's always a good idea to give it a try."

"I agree with Brother Fan's plan!" Gao Yuan's excited voice came from behind him, "Although I don't understand the principle behind it, but... it sounds quite reliable!"

Hongshi's eyes twitched, and he silently looked at Isa who was sitting in the passenger seat on the other side.

Noticing Hongshi's gaze, Isa nodded vigorously without hesitation, causing her large black hood to sway up and down.

"I, I also agree with Chen Fan's plan."

"What's the reason?"

Hearing Hongshi's question, Isa turned her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed across her pretty face: "I am the assistant of Mr. Chen Fan, so of course I have to agree with his plan."

Hongshi: "..."

She shouldn't have asked this question!
"Second, I agree with this plan as well."

Just as Hongshi was about to say something else, a familiar voice suddenly came from the silent communication channel.

"Academician Wang?!" Hongshi looked at the holographic interface that suddenly popped up in surprise, "Aren't you busy with the light stone experiment? When..."

"The warning pop-up window is about to blue screen the ship's main computer, how can I not come?" Wang Jing rolled her eyes unhappily, "The warning message mentioned that the giant scorpion is suspected of mastering time technology. It was you who sent it, right?"

"You don't know that when this warning message popped up, those academicians were ready to pack their bags and drive the Academy of Sciences to the battlefield!"

Chen Fan: "...Ah?!"

He admitted that he was indeed the one who sent out the warning that the giant scorpion was suspected of mastering time technology.

But he didn't expect it to become such a big deal!

"Wait..." Chen Fan's face froze, and he realized something belatedly, "What do you mean by driving the Academy of Sciences to the battlefield? This Academy of Sciences... can actually fight a war?!"

"That's not the point." In the holographic communication interface, Wang Jing grabbed the water cup beside her and took a sip. "Although the misunderstanding has been resolved, since this giant scorpion has mastered the information barrier, it's a good opportunity to use it as an experiment."

"My plan is to use the disturbance information generated by the explosion of the light stone to impact the information barrier, so as to observe the many properties of the information barrier and provide support for the fleet..."

"Hey, why am I telling you all this..."

Wang Jing waved her hand, her expression becoming serious: "Anyway, it can be summed up in one sentence."

"Blast it hard for me!"

The communication is over.

After getting Wang Jing's permission, Hongshi no longer had any objections.

As for Chen Fan...

He took a deep breath, put his hands together, rubbed his palms gently, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Explode hard..."

"If that's the case, then I understand!"

Redstone: “?!!”

Under Hongshi's somewhat horrified gaze, Chen Fan reached out and pushed the joystick in front of him hard.

Swish! ! !
The investigator starship that was originally hovering above the pedestal suddenly broke away from the giant scorpion larvae that were still trying to break through the starship's shield, and plunged headfirst into the pedestal below!
Looking at the "prey" escaping from its sight again, the giant scorpion larva was stunned for a few seconds, then opened its mouth and let out a silent hiss, then chased after the investigator starship again!
