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

Chapter 484 Lighthouse Project! (Two in One)

"fire!!"

The order from Fang Yunsheng instantly crossed several light years and was accurately transmitted to the Genesis Fortress and the Titan Mothership that built the information circuit.

At this moment, whether it was the Genesis Fortress or the battleships that built the information circuit, their energy output power soared to 100% at the same time, and the originally dim hulls also lit up with golden light in the blink of an eye - that was the performance of the battleship's shields quickly increasing and climbing to peak power.

High-intensity information jets are extremely lethal to intelligent creatures. For this reason, the ship-borne Genesis unit needs to allocate some of its performance to protect the warship itself.

As the golden light gradually grew stronger, the information jet that was originally only a trickle began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Inside the flagship planetary fortress, Fang Yunsheng, who had just given the order, subconsciously looked out the porthole.

Behind the planetary fortress, the originally calm space seemed to be affected by something and gradually became distorted, and the light from outside the hyperspace membrane slowly fluctuated.

At first glance, it looks like a stone falling into calm water, causing ripples.

These undulating ripples gathered from all directions and condensed into a faint "pillar" around the planetary fortress that resembled a stream of water.

The moment it passed the planetary fortress, the pillar seemed to be strengthened in some way. It accelerated suddenly, becoming a high-speed jet that extended rapidly forward and shot straight towards the anti-universe bubble directly in front of the planetary fortress.

In Fang Yunsheng's sight, this high-speed jet, whose outline could only be barely seen through the distorted starlight, continued to move forward, as if there was no obstacle ahead.

but!

When the information jet left the planetary fortress for thousands of kilometers, something strange happened.

Its forward momentum suddenly stopped, as if it had hit some barrier invisible to the naked eye!
Immediately afterwards, under Fang Yunsheng's gaze, a blurry "wall" slowly appeared in the vast space that seemed to be empty.

Looking closely, this strange "wall" is composed of countless structures that resemble ripples, just like the previous information jet.

However, the structure of the former is obviously much more complicated.

Where the information jet directly hit, the surging information flow flowed rapidly and the outline of the wall appeared particularly clear, but farther away, in areas not affected by the information jet, this "wall" once again disappeared into the boundless deep space.

"Information barrier..."

Looking at the magnificent "wall" whose full appearance has not yet been revealed, Fang Yunsheng couldn't help but reveal a bit of complexity in his eyes.

It was this wall that blocked the support fleet's advance!
As the intensity of the information jet continued to increase, this phenomenon was rapidly improved to a great extent - after the "wall" was stimulated, the complex ripples became dense and active at a speed visible to the naked eye.

boom!
The rapid flow of information suddenly revealed the full picture of this invisible "wall"!
Looking at the "wall" in front of him that was rapidly extending in all directions and showing a certain curvature, Fang Yunsheng couldn't help but tremble all over.

What kind of "wall" is this?
This is clearly a shield wrapped around an anti-universe bubble!
It's like the shield around a battleship, except this is a cosmic-level, ultra-large-scale shield!!
It lies silently in this empty and lonely space, equally blocking every uninvited guest who tries to approach the anti-universe.

In front of it, whether it is the Titan Mothership which is comparable to a planet in size, or the Genesis Fortress which is measured in light years in size, they are all as small as a speck of dust.

Inside the command center of the flagship fortress, Fang Yunsheng's breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

He was not frightened by the magnificent scene before him.

In fact, as a member of the Human Alliance regular army, he was even fortunate enough to witness the collapse and destruction of several cosmic bubbles. That scene was undoubtedly more grand than the scene before his eyes.

but……

He was frightened by the "truth" hidden behind this shield.

A shield of this size could not possibly be a naturally formed product.

So, what kind of civilization has such great power? !

You know, even the Human Alliance doesn't have the ability to shield an entire universe bubble! !
Let’s not talk about other technical issues for now.

Just talking about energy consumption, to maintain such a huge shield, how much energy does it consume? !
Fang Yunsheng, who was not very familiar with shield technology, couldn't help but guess in his heart: I'm afraid... even if we drain the vacuum zero-point energy of an entire universe, it wouldn't be enough?
but……

Looking around, apart from the anti-universe bubble hanging in the center of the shield, Fang Yunsheng did not see any form of technological creation, nor did he see any equipment that provided energy for this information shield.

This means that the civilization that created this information shield may have far surpassed the Human Alliance in strength! !

Just like monkeys cannot understand nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, Fang Yunsheng cannot understand the cosmic-level shield in front of him. He can only feel the technological content hidden behind it and the faint fear lingering in his heart.

The above is just one of them.

Second.

Theoretically, there are no cosmic bubbles inside the hyperspace membrane.

Combined with the node universe's peculiar "origin", Fang Yunsheng couldn't help but come up with an astonishing conjecture in his mind -

Whether it is the anti-universe bubble in front of us or the node universe "squeezed" out from the inside of the hyperspace membrane, it is very likely that they are testing grounds for some advanced civilization!
Since it is a testing ground, it is naturally impossible to allow outsiders to disturb it at will.

then……

This advanced civilization that has mastered the theory of material information has set up a circle of shields based on the theory of material information around the anti-universe bubble in front of them, which is the information barrier that previously blocked the fleet's progress!
The moment this thought popped up in his mind, Fang Yunsheng, who was standing in the command center, felt layers of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Although the temperature in the command center was very comfortable, he still felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and his whole body was chilled.

at the same time.

Outside the flagship's porthole, under the continuous bombardment of high-intensity information jets, the stability of the information shield seemed to have declined significantly.

The ripples in the area where the two came into contact appeared extremely chaotic, causing the orderly layers of ripples around them to also begin to sway.

suddenly!

It seemed that the intensity of the information jet completely broke through the threshold of the information shield. The many ripples that were barely maintained before suddenly collapsed, and an extremely tiny gap appeared on the originally integrated information shield. The information jet also successfully passed through the gap and pierced into the dim space inside the shield.

After moving forward for a while, the powerless information jet quickly dissipated and gradually disappeared into the empty space.

As for the information shield, it was like a burst dam - under the impact of the information jet, the previous small gap began to expand continuously. At the same time, an inconspicuous chaotic information flow was released from the area where the shield melted. In Fang Yunsheng's eyes, the light in that area seemed particularly turbulent.

The shield collapse process has a very obvious self-reinforcing effect.

At some point, the information jet from Genesis Fortress stopped, but the collapse of the information shield did not stop.

One hundred light years, one thousand light years, ten thousand light years...

Finally, when the size of the gap expanded to a certain extent, a shocking storm invisible to the naked eye quietly emerged - the cosmic-level shield built around the anti-cosmic bubble completely collapsed at this moment! !
The previously regular flow of information was completely unrestrained at this moment.

They spread out in all directions in an almost violent manner!

In just a few minutes, the scene outside the porthole changed drastically.

The lights coming from outside the hyperspace membrane suddenly distorted to the extreme, and a shrill alarm sounded simultaneously inside the flagship fortress.

【warn! 】

[Ultra-high intensity disturbance information flow detected! ! ]

【warn……】

Bright red warning messages kept popping up on the holographic interface, and the already solemn atmosphere in the command center became even more tense!
Fang Yun suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at the warning messages that kept popping up in front of him, a question subconsciously emerged in his mind:
If the truth behind this information shield is the same as he guessed, then how could the information barrier set up by such a powerful civilization be broken by such crude means?
Yes, even though Fang Yunsheng was a layman who knew nothing about material information technology, he could see one thing from the many images outside the porthole - the technological content of the information shield far exceeded the information jet just released by the fleet!
To put it in an analogy, this is actually equivalent to using a very primitive gunpowder flintlock rifle to destroy the civil defense projects that can withstand a nuclear bomb explosion with one shot.

【warn! 】

[The fleet coordinates are abnormally offset! ! ]

As the warning of the ship's main computer sounded again, Fang Yunsheng could only suppress this doubt in his heart temporarily, and then hurriedly looked at the holographic interface in front of him.

In the interface, several numbers marked in red are slowly changing - those are the coordinate information of the support fleet.

Under normal circumstances, a fleet equipped with space anchoring technology will not experience changes in coordinates after "dropping anchor".

But now, even though the fleet did not start the phase engine at this time, and even though the fleet's space anchoring system was still in normal working condition, the fleet's coordinates still changed!

Moreover, the magnitude of this change is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Not only that, the anti-space bubble that was originally in front of the fleet disappeared without a trace at some point.

This is……

"Information storm!"

Xu Mingqi's exclamation was heard from the side, and Fang Yunsheng's face suddenly turned ugly.

Although the Academy of Sciences had predicted such a scenario and told him the corresponding response plan in advance, when facing this information storm that was invisible to the naked eye, Fang Yunsheng still couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart - although he couldn't see the storm, he could still imagine the current situation of the fleet from the many data in front of him.

In this storm, which is far larger than a cosmic bubble, the seemingly huge support fleet is nothing more than a small dinghy in the storm.

If there is no countermeasure, who knows where the fleet will be taken by this storm!

"…Notify Genesis Fortress!"

While the information storm had not yet fully formed and communications had not been affected much, Fang Yunsheng suppressed his anxiety, recalled the response plan sent by the Academy of Sciences, and gave an order as calmly as possible: "The information shield is running at full power. This information storm must not be allowed to contact any warship in the fleet!"

"All warships, immediately activate the phase engines to correct your own coordinates, and wait for the guidance of the Academy of Sciences!"

...Anti-universe, the place of creation.

Wang Jing sat in the cockpit of the research vessel, looking anxiously at the starry sky outside the porthole.

Three hours ago, after completing many arrangements for the [Lighthouse Project], she drove the scientific research ship to join the defensive battle.

Although the scientific research vessel is not a combat-oriented starship, some of the self-defense weapons it is equipped with can still play a good role in this battlefield.

But even so, during these ten hours, even if the scientific research ships participated in the battle, even if the remaining Xinalo fleet was also put into the battlefield, the defense line of this war was still shrinking irreversibly - at this moment, under the command of Redstone, all defenses were concentrated near the original Xinalo mother planet.

Wang Jing knew that she had underestimated the madness of those giant scorpions.

After the death of the queen, the giant scorpions affected by the gamma-ray burst not only showed no intention of retreating, but instead rushed towards the place of creation even more frantically.

No matter whether it is a ten-thousand-meter giant scorpion or a thousand-meter giant scorpion, as long as they still have a breath left, they will attack the investigator starship and the Gaia planetary fortress at the cost of their own lives.

This crazy and life-threatening offensive undoubtedly put great pressure on the defense of Redstone and Gaia.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the starry sky in the distance that was rapidly collapsing into two dimensions and the pale green giant scorpion corpse that was tragically reduced in dimension, Wang Jing's face became more and more anxious: "Why hasn't the support fleet arrived yet..."

"The support fleet has successfully broken through the information barrier."

The electronic synthesized voice of the ship's main brain suddenly sounded, interrupting Wang Jing's words: "The information storm has taken shape."

The moment Wang Jing heard the electronic synthesized sound, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her previous anxiety and uneasiness disappeared.

Success! !

The biggest obstacle, the information barrier, has been broken, and the official entry of the support fleet is only a matter of time!

"Redstone!" Wang Jing hurriedly raised her hand and turned on the communication channel. "The [Lighthouse Project] has officially started, and everything is going according to plan!"

Hongshi did not respond to Wang Jing's words, but accompanied by a strong fluctuation of time and space, the khaki-colored investigator starship suddenly appeared in front of the scientific research ship, and took over the scientific research ship to launch a fierce attack on the approaching star scorpion.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jing felt relieved. Without any hesitation, she directly controlled the research ship to retreat to the rear of the defense line.

……

Swish!
The fluctuations of time and space spread out in all directions, and a silver-white scientific research ship appeared in the central area of ​​the defense line.

In the slightly crowded starry sky, there is a platform temporarily built with a large amount of metal.

The base of the platform is constructed from previously manufactured interstellar factories, whose internal circuits have been completely transformed. Today, they no longer have any production functions and only retain basic energy transmission pathways and gravity field simulation systems.

Countless light stones flashing with faint fluorescence lay quietly on the platform under the pull of the artificial gravity field.

Some of these light stones came from the inventory of the Xinaluo civilization, and some came from the hatching organs of the queen insect. In order to collect as many light stones as possible, the Xinaluo civilization even removed the light stones embedded in some precision instruments.

This platform is the final implementation point of the [Lighthouse Project].

To put it bluntly, the defensive battle lasted for a full ten hours, and it was actually to protect this platform which was less than 100 kilometers in size.

"Chen Fan."

"Can the support fleet overcome this information storm as soon as possible? Can we win this defensive battle..."

In the cockpit, Wang Jing was steering the research vessel towards the nearby platform while muttering to herself on the communication channel: "From now on, it all depends on you."

"..."

There was still no sound coming from the communication channel, but in the laboratory inside the research ship, Chen Fan, sitting upright on a metal chair, slowly closed his eyes.

Consciousness body, out of body!

As the thoughts flowed, the originally narrow vision suddenly became spacious.

He quickly turned his head, his eyes passing over the thick armor of the research ship and falling on the platform - from a high-dimensional perspective, the internal structure of the platform was very clearly displayed. Slender and tough energy pathways extended from the interstellar factory below that served as the base, and after circling the platform several times, they all concentrated in the center of the platform.

There was the only area on the platform that was not covered by light stones.

The range is very small, the area does not even reach 10 square meters.

But in this small space, there are extremely densely distributed energy pathways that can carry vacuum zero-point energy!

Not only that, these energy pathways are even “open”!!
As the research ship slowly stopped at the edge of the platform, Chen Fan's heart moved, and his consciousness flew towards the center of the platform in a wave of time and space fluctuations - yes, that small ten-square-meter space was the "energy supply station" specially built for him.

The so-called Lighthouse Project is actually very simple.

The vacuum zero-point energy provided by the scientific research ship not only detonates the light stone to generate sufficient disturbance in the information flow, but also provides Chen Fan with the energy to manipulate the information flow.

then……

Chen Fan controls this information flow and provides guidance to the support fleet in the information storm. According to the simulation of the Academy of Sciences, when the cosmic information shield collapses and the information storm is completely formed, the existing communication means of the Human Union will be greatly affected, and the previous navigation guidance technology will also fail. Only high-intensity information flow can play a practical and effective guiding role.

The whole plan is neither difficult nor simple.

After all, all the technical difficulties were left to Chen Fan, the humanoid plug-in.

"Lighthouse Project, start!"

At the moment when Chen Fan's consciousness left the research ship and successfully arrived at the center of the platform, Wang Jing in the cockpit also issued the final command to the ship's main brain.

……

The moment the order was given, pure vacuum zero-point energy gushed out from inside the research vessel.

They rushed into the platform in a violent manner along the energy pathway that had just been docked.

Deng!Deng!Deng!
There is no doubt that the vacuum zero-point energy has a stimulating effect on the light stone. Almost at the same time, the platform that had previously only flashed a faint light suddenly became brighter!

Dazzling white light appeared from the edge of the platform, circling around and flowing towards the center of the platform.

The moment the white light spread to the center of the platform, a beam of energy torrent with azure light spurted out from the energy channel buried in the central area of ​​the platform.

Chen Fan silently looked at this energy torrent composed of vacuum zero-point energy. When it just appeared, some crystal blue light spots had quietly merged into his consciousness.

The familiar swelling feeling gradually became clearer.

boom! ! !
The moment the energy torrent appeared, the light stones on the platform also broke through the critical point at the same time - in the dazzling white light comparable to the brightness of a star, endless light stones shattered, and the chaotic information flow buried inside them also rushed out like a wild horse running away! !
Looking at the frantic stream of information in front of him, Chen Fan subconsciously took a deep breath.

He recalled the feeling of controlling the information flow before, slowly raised his hand, and made a fist.

"Stop."

Chen Fan's voice was extremely calm.

As he finished speaking, a strange wave emanated from his body of consciousness, and the bloated feeling from eating too much disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by an extremely strong feeling of hunger - the vacuum zero-point energy just absorbed only lasted for less than half a second!
Although it consumes a lot of energy, the effect it produces is unparalleled!

Just when these information streams were about to rush out of the platform, they seemed to be pulled by some force and stopped abruptly in the starry sky!
On the other side, in the central area of ​​the platform, the vacuum zero-point energy fountain with extremely high energy intensity was also slowly falling under the guidance of this force.

As countless blue dots of light decayed and dissipated in the air, a vague human figure slowly emerged.

The next moment, the vacuum zero-point energy that had not yet had time to dissipate merged into the figure extremely quickly!
But all this did not help alleviate the intense feeling of hunger!

When he realized this, Chen Fan's expression suddenly became interesting - in his perception, at this moment, his consciousness was like a swimming pool described in some incredible math problems, with water being released and inflowing at the same time.

Although there was a constant supply of energy, it was far from keeping up with the rate at which he consumed it.

"What the hell……"

Chen Fan's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "This energy consumption level is so high that it needs to be labeled with a level 5 energy consumption label."

We have to speed up the absorption of vacuum zero-point energy!
Looking at the large amount of vacuum zero-point energy dissipating in the starry sky, a crazy idea slowly emerged in his mind.

Instead of just sitting there and taking advantage of the vacuum zero-point energy that hasn't yet dissipated, it's better to...

As soon as he thought about it, his consciousness rushed directly into the endless stream of azure energy!

boom! !

Under the impact of the energy torrent, Chen Fan's consciousness expanded like a balloon in an instant - this was the vacuum zero-point energy provided by a scientific research ship with all its strength! !
It is no exaggeration to say that the energy that just poured into the consciousness is enough for a first-level civilization to use for several years!
“…F*ck!!”

Feeling the impact in his body, Chen Fan's face suddenly twisted.

He didn't have time to think about it and directly used all the energy in his body to manipulate the flow of information.

hum! ! !
Strange waves continued to surge out from Chen Fan's consciousness, and the violent information flows that had been forcibly pulled back to the platform began to operate directly above the platform according to Chen Fan's thoughts!
One lap, two laps, three laps...

The speed of the information flow gradually increased, and a set of information circuits that were very similar to the incubation tower quietly took shape! !
