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

Chapter 478 Scorpions Attack! (Two in One)

Xinalo's home star system.

As time passed, the atmosphere in this broken star system gradually became tense.

Under Ophelia's command, the remaining Xinalo fleet took action again after a brief rest.

They are concentrated in the original Xinalo home planet area.

After Gaia fired a dark matter cannon, this star field became the most empty place in the star system. Naturally, it became the core area of ​​the second defensive war.

In addition to the Xinalo fleet, this open area is also dotted with a considerable number of interstellar factories. Since arriving at Xinalo's home planet, Gaia has been doing its old business again under Wang Jing's orders.

In the starry sky, interstellar factories are continuously producing various automated weapons.

In just a few dozen hours, the Xinaluo star system, which was originally filled with various stellar debris, was wiped out.

Be it meteorites, asteroids, or even a few surviving gas giants!
All materials were collected and manufactured into corresponding weapons and equipment by interstellar factories.

Floating turrets, drones...

The main thing is to have a large amount of food.

the other side.

The khaki-colored investigator starship was quietly hovering next to the main star at the center of the star system.

This is a G-type main-sequence star in its prime. It unreservedly radiates its light and heat to the surroundings, doing its best to dispel the darkness within the star system.

The belly hatch of the starship opened, and a number of unremarkable diamond-shaped devices emerged from it one after another, and rushed towards the main star directly in front of the starship amidst extremely slight fluctuations in space and time, and finally all disappeared in the extremely powerful light of the star.

Inside the starship cockpit.

Hongshi sat in the main driver's seat, looking at the star model above the main console with great concentration.

In the holographic model, tiny black dots are attached to the edge of the star. Under the control of redstone, they are connected to each other and gradually form a looming and terrifying net that is enough to wrap up the entire star!
Beside Hongshi, Isa and Gao Yuan were also watching Hongshi's movements intently.

This is the most critical core of the entire defensive plan and no mistakes are allowed.

At the same time, this is also a weapon that ranks among the top in the history of the Human Alliance War.

Even veteran investigator Hongshi had a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead as she looked at the giant star network that was gradually taking shape before her eyes - if the Academy had not lifted all weapons bans, she would probably never have come into contact with weapons of this level in her lifetime.

This thing is not for use by the Hazardous Technology Administration at all!
Even the Human Fleet needs to go through layers of approval before using this kind of weapon of mass destruction!
In the distance, an imperceptible vortex continued to spread faint space-time fluctuations in all directions.

This vortex blends almost perfectly into the surrounding deep space.

Suddenly, the speed of the vortex increased significantly, and the space-time fluctuations it caused also became much stronger.

Hongshi's heart moved, he stopped what he was doing, and turned to look in the direction of the whirlpool.

The rapidly rotating vortex seemed to be connected to an unknown space. At this moment, a faint yellow color suddenly appeared in the center of the vortex, as if something was coming out of the space connected to the vortex.

During this process, the originally calm ocean of time and space suddenly began to surge with waves.

In the waves, the vortex that was previously vaguely visible became clearer, and its spinning speed began to increase again, and the speed at which the khaki color appeared also increased a lot.

Swish!
As the vortex expanded, the khaki object finally revealed its true appearance—

【Gaia】Planetary Fortress.

"Gaia, have you completed the preparations on your side?" Looking at the planetary fortress that had already drilled out most of its body, Redstone asked softly in the communication channel.

"Of course!" Gaia's unique voice suddenly sounded, "It's just a temporary creation of a star."

"With the output power of our zero-point energy reactor, it's easy to do..."

Hearing this, Hongshi couldn't help but raise his thin eyebrows: "There are still a few hours before the giant scorpion arrives. Why don't you hurry up and rub another one?"

"..."

Gaia paused, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared in his tone: "Well... I remember, my second brother asked me to go to the second line of defense as soon as possible..."

Hongshi didn't say anything, but a slight smile appeared between his eyebrows.

"Hey! Don't laugh!" Gaia saw Hongshi's smile from the communication channel and suddenly became anxious, "I'm telling the truth. My second brother really told me this. If you don't believe me, I'll..."

"I believe it, I believe it." Hongshi's smile became more intense. She nodded and pointed to the rear of the Investigator Starship. "Since it is Chen Fan's order, then you should go to the second line of defense first. You also need some time to prepare for the next defensive battle."

Hearing this, Gaia subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right..."

"I'm telling you, it's not that I don't want to help you rub another star. This thing is very easy for me. It's really my second brother..."

As it spoke, it once again used the communication channel to carefully observe Redstone's expression.

When it found that the smile on Hongshi's face had not faded at all, and even became more intense, it shuddered slightly: "Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Anyway, you just need to know that this is just a piece of cake for Benqiu."

It muttered softly, then proactively cut off the communication link and hurriedly turned to the second line of defense set up outside the star system.

Hongshi looked out the porthole at the khaki planetary fortress that was getting farther and farther away. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she actually saw the feeling of a hasty escape from the back of a planetary fortress.

"I really don't know where Gaia got this kind of personality from." Isa shook her head in annoyance on the co-pilot seat. "He was just a bit talkative at the beginning, why is he so..."

Hongshi chuckled and turned his attention back to the console in front of him: "Maybe it has been like this from the beginning, but it just doesn't show it."

Isa was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hongshi with a confused expression: "Mr. Hongshi, have you... seen Gaia before?"

Hongshi burst out laughing.

"Of course not. There are only a few beings like Gaia in the entire human union." She shook her head and explained casually, "But I have read Gaia's information. He has been wandering in the void for so many years. Even his only eldest brother has met with an accident. If it weren't for his heartless personality, he would have died of depression long ago."

"Don't even mention a living being, look at the Xinalo civilization."

"Such a large civilization has developed alone in this universe for hundreds of thousands of years. What is the final result?"

Isa nodded thoughtfully.

"okay."

Hongshi carefully manipulated the last device to fill the gap. Looking at the completely formed star network, she breathed a sigh of relief: "The preparations for this defensive battle are now completely complete."

"Now it depends on the research progress of Academician Wang and Chen Fan."

She turned her head and looked out the porthole on the left.

With the help of a visual aid, she could easily see the TE1571 research vessel docked next to the Xinalo fleet.

Under the reflection of the starlight, the surface of this scientific research ship was stained with a faint golden halo.

She withdrew her gaze and looked again at the huge star burning quietly in front of the starship, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

"Pity……"

Hongshi murmured in a weak voice.

"What a pity?" Isa's eyes moved, and she curiously followed Hongshi's gaze. "Are you feeling pity for this star?"

That's normal.

No matter what the final outcome is, after this defensive battle, this star will completely disappear in the universe.

Correspondingly, Xinaluo's home star system will also become true history - the home star is swallowed by the giant scorpion, the main star disappears, and even other stars in the star system are used as raw materials for making weapons...

Thinking of this, a hint of sadness involuntarily emerged on Isa's pretty face.

As for redstone...

She glanced at Isa with a strange look on her face, then coughed awkwardly: "That's not the case..."

"I just think that the time to prepare for war is too short. Otherwise, we could have asked Gaia to go to the neighboring star system and grab a few stars."

Redstone analyzed seriously: "Add to that the stars that Gaia created in the microcosm, and the chances of winning the defensive battle will increase significantly."

The corners of Isa's mouth moved, and she fell into complete silence: "..."

She was overthinking it.

The investigators from the Administration, their brain circuits are really cut from the same mold!!
……

"Warning!" The electronic synthesized voice of the shipboard mainframe suddenly sounded in the starship cockpit, breaking the silence that lasted for more than an hour: "High-intensity space-time fluctuations detected, the target will reach the first line of defense in five minutes!"

Hongshi's eyes moved, and he raised his head to look at the holographic countdown right above the main console.

The blood-red numbers kept jumping, almost turning the entire holographic display interface blood red.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the porthole on the left side of the fleet.

At the end of the sight, the interstellar factory is still continuously manufacturing war-type drones and autonomous turrets. The Xinalo fleet is tightly huddled together, trying to contribute its only little strength to this defensive battle. As for the Human Union research ship...

At this time, there was still no movement, just hovering quietly in the vast starry sky.

"Is it still too late..."

Hongshi couldn't help but recall Chen Fan's previous confident words. She closed her eyes slightly, hiding the uneasiness deep in her eyes.

After taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes again, and all the previous negative emotions were suppressed in her heart.

Watching the countdown that was about to reach zero, Hongshi's expression turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Attention all units!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Activate the [Space-Time Trap]!"

"Mastermind, open the data transmission channel!!"

……

The first line of defense is composed of a large number of [Space-Time Trap], war drones and floating turrets.

Its main purpose is to deal with those smaller and weaker giant sky scorpions.

hum! ! !
The command from Redstone quickly swept across the starry sky, and strong and chaotic space-time fluctuations suddenly spread out!

The calm ocean of time and space also set off huge waves at this moment! !
At this moment, a series of ferocious figures with dark purple bodies gradually solidified - in the chaotic space-time created by the [Space-Time Trap], the giant scorpion was forced to interrupt its previous curvature navigation and appeared in the visible universe.

At the same time as interrupting the curvature navigation, they rushed towards the nearest floating turrets and drones!

They waved their scorpion tails vigorously, trying to launch a fatal blow to these "targets" that still did not move!
Inside the cockpit of the Investigator starship.

Under the capture of the high-precision detector, this horrifying scene was presented very clearly in front of the eyes of the Redstone team.

"really……"

Hongshi's face darkened, and his uneasiness grew stronger: "These giant scorpions have perfect long-distance communication capabilities!"

Due to the previous home-changing strategy, theoretically, the group of scorpions that first arrived at the Land of Creation should be the last to leave the Land of Creation. In other words, they have absolutely no experience in fighting against the Human Alliance. But looking at the current battle situation, these giant scorpions are not unfamiliar with the Human Alliance's [Space-Time Trap], and they have even mastered quite complete countermeasures.

Facing the impending attack from the scorpion swarm, the drones and floating turrets remained motionless, as if they had all been disconnected!
Just as the scorpion swarm was about to launch a fatal attack on the drone swarm, the electronic synthesized voice of the ship's main brain suddenly sounded.

"The data transmission channel has been successfully established. The current channel load is 27% and the data channel stability is 100%."

Swish! ! !
The scientific research ship far behind became a communication node at this moment, and the computing power from the central brain of the Human Union Academy of Sciences poured down along the data transmission channel!

In an instant, Zero took over the control of all the drones and floating turrets present with unstoppable momentum!
Almost at the same time.

The drones that were originally standing still in the starry sky and seemed to be collectively offline suddenly "came to life"!

They seemed to have life, quickly locking onto each giant scorpion that was approaching them, and after analyzing the giant scorpion's flight posture, they...

Fire!!

Pitch-black lightning flashed across the starry sky, like cracks on a mirror, quickly extending towards the giant scorpion in front of it, and finally hitting the weak defense area of ​​the giant scorpion with great precision! !
During the attack, these drones even made nearly perfect evasive moves, easily avoiding the giant scorpion's almost crazy attack! !

They were like dancers on the edge of a knife. Not only did they not take this opportunity to distance themselves from the giant scorpion, they even took the initiative to approach the giant scorpion and continued to fight back under the attack of the giant scorpion's ventral foot and scorpion tail! !
Further back.

Millions of drones soared into the sky, and in waves of weak space-time fluctuations, almost all of them disappeared into the visible universe - the Human Alliance's [Space-Time Trap] naturally could not affect the Human Alliance's weapons, as they had successfully entered the curvature state!
UI.

In front of a swarm of drones with the ability to travel at superluminal curvature, the giant scorpions that have lost the ability to travel at superluminal speed are like slow-moving live targets on the battlefield!

In just a moment of contact, the deep, pitch-black space rifts and the dark matter cannons flashing with black light tore apart the bodies of countless giant scorpions.

of course.

This is only the case for giant scorpions of 100-meter and 1,000-meter sizes.

The ten thousand meter giant scorpion that had mastered dimensional technology was not disturbed by these low-level attacks.

They quickly upgraded their dimensions and crossed the first line of defense with great ease.

They do not want to focus their energy on those unmanned mechanical equipment. The only goal of these ten thousand meter-class giant scorpions is to kill the mother insect's planetary fortress and investigator starship!
……

"coming."

Looking at the ten-thousand-meter-long giant scorpion that appeared within his sight with its fangs and claws bared, Redstone's expression was solemn, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the joystick of the investigator starship.

She took a deep breath, calmed her inner throbbing, and then pushed the joystick in her hand hard.

hum! !

As a powerful space-time wave spread out, the Investigator Starship disappeared directly into the visible universe - the curvature engine, whose power suddenly soared, directly allowed the Investigator Starship to enter a state of superluminal navigation!
Just as Redstone was about to control the starship to attack the predetermined target, a khaki shadow appeared without warning among the ten-thousand-meter-long scorpions.

More direct than redstone operation, Gaia directly rushed into the scorpion group by relying on high-dimensional jump.

It is still the usual method.

As the khaki planetary fortress spun around, a powerful gravitational force was suddenly released from its interior.

Gravity is the only force that can have an effect across dimensions.

Under the influence of this terrifying gravitational force that was comparable to that of a neutron star, the forward momentum of dozens of ten-thousand-meter-long giant scorpions around them suddenly came to a halt.

Not only that, under the sudden strong gravitational pull, the giant scorpion's body suffered extremely severe damage!

Even the dense dark purple armor was deformed and broken to a certain extent under the tearing of violent gravity, not to mention the flesh and blood inside the armor! !
After just one encounter, dozens of giant scorpions curled up in pain, opened their ferocious mouthparts and roared in pain! !
But this is far from over!

next second!
The Gaia planetary fortress that had just appeared disappeared again in the visible universe. When it appeared again, it had already arrived in front of one of the giant scorpions that was curled up in pain.

boom! ! !
Without any hesitation, Gaia slammed into it with almost violent gravity!

The giant scorpion's tough body, which it is proud of, is nothing compared to the planetary fortress's dense armor layer that is tens of kilometers thick.

At the moment of collision, the giant scorpion's body exploded instantly like a "water spirit" that had absorbed enough water! !

Under the influence of gravity, those light green internal organs and body fluids stayed in the air for a short time and then quickly fell to the "surface" of the planetary fortress.

Before they all fell, the khaki planetary fortress disappeared once again in the visible universe!

Jump! Another short jump!
With each flash, Gaia would appear in front of one or even several 10,000-meter-long giant scorpions and slam into them fiercely! !

The violent aesthetics of the Human League is presented unobstructed in the starry sky at this moment! !

the other side.

The redstone that drives the Investigator starship is naturally not far behind.

Driven by the warp engine, the investigator starship quickly arrived in front of a lone giant scorpion.

The giant scorpion had been torn apart by the gravity of the planetary fortress before. It screamed in pain, and its four scarlet eyes flashed with undisguised hatred for the investigator starship - it had recognized the starship in front of it, and this was the murderer who killed the queen insect! !
Fight until death! !
It endured the pain of its internal organs ruptured, opened its mouth with difficulty, and tried to launch a final attack on the starship in front of it.

but……

A deep crack extended from the side of the starship, like a bolt of lightning, accurately striking the gland in the giant scorpion's throat.

boom! !

The black light that had just condensed dissipated instantly, causing an explosion of considerable scale!
The large-scale dissection that Wang Jing had previously performed on the giant scorpion came in handy at this time!

Just like the drone swarm and floating turrets controlled by Zero himself, every attack from the Investigator Starship also hit the weak points of the giant scorpion's defense with extreme precision! !

Roar! !

The giant scorpion let out a painful hiss, and its ferocious head drooped weakly - the activated dark matter that was detonated prematurely almost broke its neck!

The second line of defense.

The second line of defense, consisting only of the Investigator Starship and the Gaia Planetary Fortress, was like an iron wall, firmly blocking the momentum of the giant scorpion's attack! !
