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

Chapter 507 Block E12b
"Fight again?"

Fang Yunsheng couldn't believe his ears. He raised his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose. He asked Wang Zhikang in disbelief, "Are you talking about... us?"

This……

Is this really what Academician Wang said?

After all, they are a fully staffed fleet, right? !
Not to mention that there are so many officers and soldiers in the fleet who have undergone years of training and exercise, just the value of the tens of thousands of main battleships is inestimable.

As for Chen Fan...

Fang Yunsheng once investigated that, nominally, Chen Fan was just an investigator affiliated with the Hazardous Technology Management Bureau.

Even though he was already a Level III investigator, and even though his promotion speed was a little abnormal, it still couldn't change the fact that he was just an investigator. Earlier, when Fang Yunsheng obtained this basic information, a trace of confusion flashed through his mind. After all, Wang Jing's attitude towards Chen Fan was not like that towards an ordinary investigator. However, he didn't delve into it at the time, and just did some favors based on Wang Jing's attitude.

of course.

In addition to Chen Fan, there is another Level III investigator in the microcosm of the Creation Land, as well as the star god Karakan and the Sinalo civilization.

But even so, in Fang Yunsheng's opinion, at the strategic level, Chen Fan and the microcosm of the Land of Creation are far less important than the peacekeeping fleet.

With the war imminent and the situation so critical, Wang Jing actually chose to let the fleet fight back and save an investigator in the microcosm...

"Isn't this just playing the piano nonsense?!"

Seeing Wang Zhikang nod in affirmation of his question, Fang Yunsheng's expression changed completely: "Without the Genesis Fortress, if the fleet suffers large-scale losses, then..."

"Captain, Academician Wang did say that." Wang Zhikang stood up from his seat, looking very helpless, "She also said..."

"What else did you say?" Fang Yunsheng frowned, "Old Wang, let me tell you, it's useless to say anything about this matter!"

"Even if Wang Jing is a Class I academician of the Academy of Sciences, he can't do this in a war of this scale!"

"Level I academician...what happened to Level I academician?"

"Do you really think that Zero is just here for nothing? If something goes wrong in this war, and Zero starts investigating, not to mention Academician Wang, I guess we won't be able to escape the consequences either!"

"Old Wang, don't try to persuade me. There's no point in talking about this!"

Fang Yunsheng glared and interrupted Wang Zhikang's hesitation again: "Turn on the communication, I want to talk to Academician Wang in person!"

Wang Zhikang smiled bitterly repeatedly, but under Fang Yunsheng's gaze, he could only raise his hands and operate the holographic control panel in front of him.

But the next second, he looked at the unresponsive holographic interface in front of him and froze in place.

"Dead...frozen?"

Wang Zhikang looked bewildered: "The flagship fortress's mainframe...can also crash?"

"Hello, Captain Fang."

Just when Wang Zhikang was doubting his life, a gentle male voice suddenly sounded in the command center. Then, the light of the holographic projection suddenly gathered automatically and formed the image of a young man in front of Fang Yunsheng.

"……zero?!"

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Fang Yunsheng's face suddenly changed.

Although Zero's main job is to assist the Academy of Sciences in various scientific research and computing projects, as well as to take into account the management and scheduling of the masterminds at all levels within the Human Union, Zero, who is the central mastermind of the Human Union and whose authority level is second only to the chief academician, also holds the greatest supervisory power in the Human Union - whether it is the Academy of Sciences or the Parliament, they are actually under Zero's supervision.

after all……

Theoretically, compared with humans, Zero, which is essentially artificial intelligence, will be more fair and just in its regulatory work.

In addition, in order to prevent "one dominant company" and some unexpected situations, the Parliament and the Academy of Sciences have actually set up regulatory agencies for zero, but the presence of these two regulatory agencies is not strong enough...

It's really too weak.

It’s not that Zero’s authority is too great, but Zero’s past style of doing things is really hard to find fault with - he hangs out in the Academy of Sciences all day long, and except for some major issues, he will never show up on his own initiative.

How could the two regulatory agencies find fault with such an invisible and intangible person who goes to work on time and leaves work on time?
Of course, this doesn't mean Zero doesn't do anything.

Relying on the huge computing power of the central mastermind and its absolute control over various secondary masterminds, Zero's supervision can definitely be described as watertight.

Because of this, there has been a saying circulating within the Human Union - Zero's voluntary appearance often means the truth has been revealed.

At least, this is the case for the vast majority of institutions and units.

Thinking of this rumor and the way Ling greeted him when he appeared just now, Fang Yunsheng's face turned pale.

"You...why are you here?"

"Captain Fang, there is something I need to tell you." Ling was not as ruthless as the rumors said. Instead, he spoke in a friendly manner.

"You say, you say..." Facing Ling's gaze, Fang Yunsheng nodded repeatedly with a guilty conscience.

Just a second ago, he was still "arranging" Zero, who knows if Zero heard what he said...

I guess he heard it.

But... Zero shouldn't be so stingy, right?

Besides, we are still in a state of war. As far as I can remember, there seems to be no case of changing commanders in the middle of a war in the history of the People's Alliance...

Just as Fang Yunsheng was thinking about something, Ling's voice sounded again.

"Considering the current situation of the anti-space bubble war, the Academy of Sciences requires a temporary adjustment of the fleet's combat objectives."

Temporarily adjust combat objectives?

Fang Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly straightened his expression: "Go ahead."

"Ensure the safety of Investigator Chen Fan at all costs." Ling said word by word, "On this basis, fully assist Investigator Chen Fan in his exploration of the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion and the Anti-Universe Bubble."

"...What, what?" Fang Yunsheng's eyes widened and he even raised his hand to pick his ears.

Did he hear it correctly?
Are you sure it is to ensure Chen Fan’s safety, not Academician Wang’s safety?
And you also have to fully assist Chen Fan in his investigation?
It has always been the investigators who cooperate with the peacekeeping fleet. When will it be the peacekeeping fleet's turn to cooperate with the investigators?

This……

Reverse Tian Gang? !
"Remember, at all costs." Ling ignored Fang Yunsheng's surprise and said to himself, "This is an order directly issued by the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences."

"The original has been sent to your personal terminal. You can take a closer look."

"Also, I'm aware of the situation at Genesis Fortress. Academician Wang Jing's operation has been approved by the Academy of Sciences." Ling glanced at Fang Yunsheng, who was still in a daze, calmly. "It is estimated that Genesis Fortress will be able to complete the rescue work within 30 minutes. I think the peacekeeping fleet will not be able to last even 30 minutes, right?"

"Captain Fang?"

"...Yes!" Fang Yun suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously straightened his back and saluted with a standard joint military salute, "I promise to complete the mission!"

Zero did not continue speaking. He turned his head and scanned the ever-changing battlefield data on the surrounding holographic panels. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I suggest that you send more starships to the E12b defense zone. The Zerg has a tendency to move closer to that area. It is very likely that this is the breakthrough point chosen by the other party."

Fang Yunsheng didn't have time to think about it and quickly nodded in agreement.

"This is such a hassle." The holographic image that made up Zero turned into a point of light and slowly dissipated, leaving only a faint murmur echoing in the command center. "I agreed to take a vacation during this period, but in the end I have to come here to work overtime..."

silence.

At this moment, the entire command center fell into deathly silence.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Fang Yunsheng coughed softly, carefully breaking the tense atmosphere: "Zero... is gone?"

“…It seems, it seems like he’s gone.”

On the side, Wang Zhikang looked at the holographic interface that had recovered from the "frozen" state in front of him and swallowed hard: "Captain Fang, do you... still want to contact Academician Wang Jing?"

"Contact?" Fang Yunsheng shuddered slightly and glared at Wang Zhikang fiercely, "What the hell is this contact!"

"Didn't you hear what Zero said just now?"

As he spoke, he thought about it and quickly retrieved the latest information from his smart terminal.

Looking at the seal of the Academy of Sciences and the special seal from the chief academician stamped at the end of the original document, Fang Yunsheng shuddered again.

No, man...

Who is this Chen Fan?
Wang Jing’s attitude towards him was barely understandable, but what was going on at the Academy of Sciences?

As far as I can remember, there doesn’t seem to be anyone named Chen among the top academicians of the Academy of Sciences…

"captain."

On the other side, Wang Zhikang silently closed the previously opened communication interface: "Zero just mentioned the E12b defense block..." Fang Yunsheng came back to his senses. He suppressed the many questions in his mind about Chen Fan and turned to look at the star map that was updated in real time.

The protective network constructed by the main battleships was in good condition, and each battleship dealt with the many oncoming star scorpions according to the original plan.

As for the E12b region…

Fang Yunsheng's gaze quickly fell on that area.

It was an inconspicuous defensive block, consisting of a total of five main battleships.

The nearest secondary flagship, the Titan Mothership, is three thousand light years away from them, which can be considered a remote area of ​​the protective network.

Correspondingly, the defensive pressure in the E12b area is smaller than that in other areas - theoretically, this should be the case.

Fang Yunsheng raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the thumbnail star map instantly enlarged, and the detailed defense information of block E12b appeared in front of him.

Looking at the information in the star map, Fang Yunsheng's expression suddenly became solemn.

The five main battleships of E12b currently have output power close to the level of other blocks.

In other words, the number of scorpions they faced had exceeded the expected level!
Just like what Zero just said.

E12b is likely to be the breakthrough point chosen by the Star Scorpion.

And those unknown enemies that disappeared from the detection range of the peacekeeping fleet are likely to appear in this area!
"Damn..."

Fang Yunsheng cursed under his breath, then turned around and gave an order: "Notify the fleet to dispatch warships to block E12b as soon as possible!"

"Send one... no, three Titan carriers to Block E12b immediately!!"

……

As time passed, the atmosphere in the command center gradually became solemn.

Fang Yunsheng stared at the huge holographic star map intently.

More than ten minutes later, the phenomenon mentioned by Zero had already shown some signs - a large number of giant star scorpions were fighting and retreating, launching repeated attacks on the protective net while quietly moving towards the E12b block.

Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang.

After realizing this, the relaxed smile on Fang Yunsheng's face completely disappeared, and the slight contempt in his eyes also vanished.

The opponents are not just bugs that know how to attack mindlessly, they are truly highly intelligent creatures.

In the star map, bright and dim spots of light continue to emerge in the E12b block.

Those bright or dim light spots in the star map are the main battleships transferred from all directions. The three brightest ones are the secondary flagships of the peacekeeping fleet - the [Titan Mothership] with a scale of 5,000 kilometers, which is almost the same size as a rocky planet!
With the support of these warships, the protective net not only showed no signs of being damaged, but even seemed to be becoming more solid!
Looking at the scene in the star map, Fang Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, Zero noticed this problem from some clues in advance.

otherwise……

The consequences are disastrous!
Even if the fleet can fill this gap later, it will still cost a considerable price.

suddenly!

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Just when Fang Yunsheng was secretly rejoicing, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out in the quiet command center!

"Notice!"

As bright red warning pop-up windows appeared before everyone's eyes, the electronic synthesized voice of the ship's main brain also sounded: "The cosmic membrane near the E12b block detected high-intensity abnormal fluctuations!"

At the same time, a real-time image from the Titan Mothership popped up on the side of the holographic star map.

In the vast starry sky, the dense swarm of scorpions almost blocked all the starlight from the deep space. Suddenly, the dense swarm of scorpions dispersed in all directions without any warning, revealing an empty starry sky.

One after another, faint gray shadows quickly passed by the background board constructed by distant starlight, and became larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a tiny gray dot the size of a sesame seed, it gradually grew into an asteroid and even the size of a planet!

Swish! !

The gray shadows gradually faded away, and these uninvited guests revealed their hideous faces.

Starry sky giant scorpion!

No, it is obviously different from the Starry Sky Giant Scorpion in the anti-universe. Comparing the two, it is like the difference between the youth version and the premium version!

These giant scorpions are not only extremely large in size, but their body structures are also more complex and hideous. On their backs, they even have a pair of black fleshy wings that are shaped like wings and have unknown uses.

The shape of the flesh wing is very strange and does not conform to conventional aerodynamics. It looks a bit like a wide triangular antenna formed by sharp bone spurs and flesh membranes.

As soon as they appeared, these giant scorpions opened their mouthparts wide enough to swallow a small planet. At the same time, they raised their dark black triangular fleshy wings covered with strong interaction force armor and let out a silent roar towards the front.

Amid the roar, the dense group of scorpions opened their mouths and made echoing hisses.

Although he could not hear their roars nor understand their meaning, Fang Yunsheng could still tell something from the immersive holographic image - the momentum of the scorpions reached its peak at this moment.

declare war!

These giant scorpions are declaring war on the human fleet that forms the protective network! !
"coming!!"

Fang Yunsheng did not hesitate. He stood up from his seat and shouted in a deep voice: "Notify the fleet to launch a exploratory attack!!"

"Flagship, begin the jump, and be ready to provide support at any time!!"

……

Battleship protection net, block E12b.

The combat order from the flagship had just been issued, and the black light of the dark matter cannon had already pierced through the dim starry sky!
A strong fluctuation of space and time exploded, and small wormholes lined up in neat rows and appeared in front of each main battleship.

The positive and negative stars and low-dimensional fragments that had been prepared long ago appeared like raindrops, directly in front of the scorpion group with the help of wormholes, and smashed hard at the dense scorpion group and those giant star scorpions that were as big as gas giant planets!
The dark matter fishing net that had previously harvested scorpions like a starry sky meat grinder has once again emerged in the starry sky!

A tentative attack!
This is just a exploratory attack!
With the help of wormholes, the dark matter fishing net was like a giant broom, rapidly sweeping across the starry sky. Wherever it passed, it left behind only white atomic clouds - conventional starry sky giant scorpions were simply unable to stop the powerful attack from the main battleships of the Human Alliance!
but……

This smooth "mowing" mode did not last long.

When the dark matter fishing net and the positive and negative stars crossed time and space and came to the side of the super-large giant scorpion, a strange phenomenon occurred - the flying speed of these attacks slowed down instantly, as if there was an invisible wall in front of them.

This is not the weirdest thing!
Under the gaze of everyone, the dark matter fishing net and the positive and negative stars suddenly turned at a peculiar angle and flew towards the empty starry sky. Eventually, they collided with each other in the vast sea of ​​stars, forming a shocking fire.

"Information barrier!!"

Looking at such a familiar scene, Fang Yunsheng, who had just left the warp state and successfully arrived at block E12b, looked more serious: "Damn it, these bugs really have mastered this deadly technology!!"

It's not over yet!
Under Fang Yunsheng's gaze, the triangular fleshy wings on the back of the giant scorpion emitted bursts of dazzling white light.

This strange white light did not follow the upper limit of the speed of light, and instantly illuminated the dim starry sky within a radius of thousands of light years!
In the white light, a shrill alarm sounded again in the flagship fortress command center!
"warn!"

"High-intensity information fluctuations detected!!"

“Damn it!!” Fang Yunsheng’s expression suddenly changed. “Information flow attack? These giant scorpions also know this trick?!”

Amid the high-pitched warning from the ship's mainframe, a brand new holographic interface suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yunsheng.

Unlike what Fang Yunsheng expected, the powerful information entropy fluctuations did not spread to the Human Alliance’s warship protection network, but instead evenly covered the scorpion group.

"This..." Fang Yunsheng was stunned, and his previously beating heart gradually calmed down.

This is definitely not an information flow attack!

So what is this?
Just as Fang Yunsheng was puzzled, Xu Mingqi's somewhat shocked voice suddenly came from the side: "Enlarge!"

"Mastermind, zoom in immediately!!"

"Then visualize the fluctuation value of information entropy!"

As Xu Mingqi spoke, the holographic interface quickly zoomed in, and the jumping numbers turned into concrete graphics in the process.

There were densely packed white balls of light.

In the picture, these white light balls are evenly scattered around all the regular giant scorpions!
