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

Chapter 516 A desperate fight

"protracted war?"

In the anti-universe bubble, in the flagship fortress command center, Fang Yunsheng frowned and looked at Xu Mingqi beside him: "Did Academician Wang really say that?"

"Yes."

Xu Mingqi nodded, looking somewhat helpless: "The Academy of Sciences currently has no way to crack this technology. We can only wait for it to consume its own energy and passively exit, or for the giant scorpion to actively stop extracting time frames..."

Consumed all your energy?

Fang Yunsheng looked at the giant scorpion covered by endless artillery fire outside the porthole with some suspicion: "If I remember correctly, this thing has mastered vacuum zero-point energy. It would be a bit difficult to exhaust the energy in its body... right?"

"As for the time frame of waiting for the other party to stop extracting..."

"Then how long will this battle last?!"

"It's not a big problem!"

Seeing Fang Yunsheng's face getting darker and darker, Xu Mingqi quickly added: "According to Academician Wang's research results, the other party cannot do anything when extracting the time frame."

"We can reduce the fleet's attack range and build temporary factories on a large scale. Theoretically, this protracted war will not put any pressure on the Z619 peacekeeping fleet..."

"I'm not worried about this problem." Fang Yunsheng glanced at the almost unclear starry sky outside the porthole with worry, "I'm worried about this universe."

"Don't forget, this cosmic bubble won't last much longer."

"You are also aware of the destructive power of the cosmic bubble collapse. What if the peacekeeping fleet is still fighting the giant scorpion at that time..."

Xu Mingqi's expression changed slightly.

Damn it, how could he have forgotten about this!

The power released by a cosmic bubble that is tens of billions of light years in size when it collapses is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.

That is definitely the most magnificent force in nature!
Not to mention the peacekeeping fleet, even the Genesis Fortress, located inside a collapse of this level, would probably have difficulty preserving itself!

Xu Mingqi did not say anything, but quickly called up a series of data on the holographic interface at his side.

Regarding the collapse of cosmic bubbles, the Human Union has a fairly complete predictive model.

After inputting various latest detection data into the model, the shipboard main brain quickly gave an answer.

"In less than two years..."

Looking at the numbers appearing in front of him, Xu Mingqi's face became increasingly ugly.

What can you do in two years?

Forget about a protracted war. Given the size of the universe, any small conflict between two civilizations would take dozens or even tens of times as long to resolve! !

"Why did the time it takes for this cosmic bubble to collapse... become so much shorter?"

Xu Mingqi asked back subconsciously.

In his memory, it would take about four to five years for the entire cosmic bubble to collapse completely after the cosmic membrane was initially destroyed. But now...

There's only so much time left!
As soon as he said this, Xu Mingqi came back to his senses and quickly realized the reason behind it -

The rule attack launched by the Genesis Fortress certainly destroyed a large number of scorpion groups and large giant scorpions, but it also caused secondary damage to the cosmic membrane. Coupled with the cutting of super-large-scale small universes, the lifespan of this cosmic bubble has been greatly reduced compared to before!
Success is due to Genesis, and failure is also due to Genesis.

"Damn it!"

Xu Mingqi cursed under his breath, and subconsciously raised his hand, ready to call up the communication interface to report the situation to Wang Jing.

but……

In the next second, the star field covered by the fleet's artillery fire showed unusual movement! !

……

[Damn it, damn it, damn it…]

The giant scorpion looked at the artillery fire around it, which showed no sign of weakening and was even showing a trend of gradually increasing. A look of panic finally appeared in its only remaining eye.

It knew that dragging it on like this was definitely not a solution.

Not to mention the crystal that was about to be consumed, the gradually increasing space-time fluctuations in the chaos were not a good sign.

Although its vision was completely blocked by the artillery fire, it could still perceive one thing from the chaotic fluctuations of time and space - the fleet scattered in the surrounding starry sky was encircling its location at a very fast speed.

If it continues like this, when the crystal is exhausted, it will only end up in a dead end!!

As a worker insect exploring the outside world, at the moment when it was caught in a life-and-death crisis, the instinct deeply imprinted in its genes finally took action.

Even if it cannot survive safely, it must tell the mother civilization the coordinate information of this civilization and this universe!

Mother Civilization needs this information!
The King far away in the Mother Universe... needs this information even more!!

With the resources and technological support of this civilization, Wang's plan...

Maybe it will succeed.

After realizing this, a hint of cruelty suddenly flashed in the giant scorpion's one eye.

It’s time to fight!

The fierceness in the giant scorpion's only remaining eye became increasingly intense. At the same time, the white light lingering on the remaining fleshy wings on its back gradually became brighter!

……

"Drip-drip-drip-"

As a shrill warning sounded without warning in the command center, an extremely strong, pale white light rose up at the center of the bombing.

The light was so bright that no matter it was the zero-point ray, the dark matter cannon, or any other high-powered weapon, they all seemed extremely dim in front of this pale white light.

"Warning! High-intensity information fluctuations detected!"

As soon as the voice of the shipboard main brain sounded, Fang Yunsheng and Xu Mingqi in the command center changed their expressions drastically - the scene in front of them was too familiar to them!
Isn't this the same scene as the giant scorpion releasing the information shock earlier? !
Recalling the painful feeling of countless complicated information flooding into his brain in an instant, Xu Mingqi couldn't help but shiver.

"Damn it!" Fang Yunsheng couldn't help cursing at the side, "Old Xu, didn't you say this thing couldn't be moved?!"

Xu Mingqi's face was grim: "Academician Wang was talking about the action in the physical sense."

"In theory, there shouldn't be any information flow impact, so..."

"grass!"

After hearing Xu Mingqi's words, Fang Yunsheng did not have time to think and directly pressed the button for the ship-wide broadcast: "Attention, all ships!"

"Urgent order, keep attacking, retreat at full speed!!"

"Titan ships 4 to 11, Genesis units running at full power, and cover the rear with the flagship fortress!"

The psychological trauma left by the previous information storm on Fang Yunsheng was too great.

You know, in a close contact situation, even the Titan mothership can't withstand the impact of this information flow storm, not to mention those main battleships that are only equipped with micro Genesis units!
If we don’t retreat urgently, a storm of information will come and the fleet present will probably be reduced by half!
The moment the order was given, the fleet that had surrounded the giant scorpion suddenly retreated to the empty starry sky behind. The previously cramped starry sky suddenly became spacious.

of course.

The artillery fire covering the star region where the giant scorpion was located showed no signs of weakening.

This should have been a perfect response.

only……

The increasing speed of the pale white light obviously exceeded Fang Yunsheng's expectations.

Almost at the second when the fleet began to retreat, the pale light had already developed to its peak state - it completely overwhelmed the fleet's artillery fire, ignored the propagation law of light, and directly dyed the entire star field pale white! !
"..."

Looking at the pale light coming from the porthole, Fang Yunsheng's pupils dilated rapidly. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

It’s over.

At this moment, only these two big words appeared in Fang Yunsheng's mind!
Wow! ! !
Under the gaze of Fang Yunsheng and Xu Mingqi, the pale white light seemed to be breathing, suddenly shrinking and then rapidly expanding.

After repeating this three or four times, the pale white light suddenly "collapsed"!
Not bad.

collapse!

Like a broken mirror, cracks began to appear in the starry sky that was dyed pale white. As the white light gradually shattered and disintegrated, the deep starry sky that was originally obscured once again reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

At the same time, the harsh information entropy warning sound began to gradually weaken - the intensity of information flow in the starry sky dropped without any warning!
"…What about the information shock?"

On the side, Xu Mingqi, who subconsciously held his breath and prepared for the impact, opened his eyes hesitantly and turned to look at Fang Yunsheng who was also confused: "This...what's going on?"

"That white light just now... wasn't actually an information storm?" Fang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and murmured in a low voice: "What does that giant scorpion want to do?"

"warn!!!"

Before Fang Yunsheng finished speaking, the synthesized voice of the ship's main computer had already issued an extremely high-pitched and sharp warning: "Target lost! Repeat, target lost!!"

Now, Fang Yunsheng was completely panicked.

Target lost?

At this point, other than that giant scorpion, what else could be the target of the peacekeeping fleet?

It was said that the giant scorpion could not move freely, but in the blink of an eye, the giant scorpion disappeared? ! !

Are you kidding him here?!

On the side, Xu Mingqi jumped up from his seat after hearing the warning.

With shaking hands, he quickly called up a holographic interface covered with dense monitoring data - due to the bombardment of the fleet, the giant scorpion could not be observed with the naked eye and conventional observation methods. Therefore, the fleet could only indirectly calculate the position of the giant scorpion through some relatively complex monitoring data.

Just a glance and Xu Mingqi's expression changed.

Just as the shipboard mainframe warned, whether it was gravitational waves or other monitoring data, it clearly proved one thing.

At this moment, the giant scorpion has disappeared from the center of the explosion!!
"This, how is this possible?"

Xu Mingqi murmured in a low voice: "Giant Scorpion, how can it move in the state of extracting time frame... This, this does not conform to the model of the Academy of Sciences..."

Is it...

Time frame model wrong?
This is not surprising.

Rather, it is a miracle that a model derived out of thin air is not wrong when both data and theory are limited!
only……

This timing is not appropriate.

In war, especially in a war between civilizations of the same level, such a major mistake is enough to change the course of a war!
Just imagine that the giant scorpion, which was 1 Planck time ago, rushed into the peacekeeping fleet recklessly under fire...

It would be a one-sided massacre!

Thinking of this, Xu Mingqi suddenly felt his hands and feet go cold!
"Old Xu! I found it!!"

Just when Xu Mingqi's mind was blank, Fang Yunsheng's curse came from the side: "Fuck, this bug actually ran to the edge of the bombing area..."

"Wait, why do I feel like something is wrong with it?"

"died?!"

Xu Mingqi was stunned.

What the hell? He's dead now?
Before he had time to think carefully, he hurriedly looked at the holographic interface in front of Fang Yunsheng.

The pale white light had dissipated, and in the dim starry sky, only the "fireball" filled with endless explosive power remained.

A giant scorpion whose face was beyond recognition was like a piece of torn rag, quietly hanging on the edge of the fireball - the reason why the giant scorpion was described as beyond recognition was because its body was too messy.

The triangular flesh wings had disappeared, leaving only a small piece of light green flesh and bone exposed on the bloody back, and the dark purple armor was nowhere to be seen.

Not only that, its tens of thousands of kilometers long scorpion tail and thousands of kilometers long gastropod have all disappeared. Even its body, which was originally as big as a gas giant planet, is now only a small half of the wreckage.

The wreckage was full of dense cracks, as if it had been torn and impacted by some powerful force.

Each crack is tens of kilometers wide, just like the great rift valleys on the surface of some planets with active cores.

Light green viscous body fluid is like a fountain, gushing out from these deep gaps where bones can be seen, forming spherical "dewdrops" in the universe.

It's dead.

In other words, it is on the verge of death at this moment!
Looking at the scene in the holographic interface, Xu Mingqi's frown slowly relaxed, and the doubts and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated at this moment: "I understand..."

The Academy of Sciences' time frame model is correct.

Forcibly moving during the time frame extraction process would inevitably cause fatal damage to oneself.

only……

The time frame model ignores the impact of one thing - information flow.

Theoretically, the giant scorpion would be torn into countless particle-level fragments when moving, but the emergence of information flow has significantly improved this phenomenon.

Although the specific principle is unclear, under the protection of the previous strong information flow, it suffered unprecedented damage.

Unlike Xu Mingqi who was still in deep thought, Fang Yunsheng on the side already had his eyes shining!
With countless experiences in commanding fleets, he realized one thing at the first moment:

This is a huge achievement!
Even though its body is no longer complete, it is the corpse of a ninth-level civilization after all!
Be nice!

Such a huge achievement actually fell on his head...

Fang Yunsheng's heart beat violently twice.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and methodically issued orders to the peacekeeping fleet that had stopped retreating: "Titan No. 4 and No. 5, follow the flagship and approach from the front!"

"Titan Six, approach from below!"

"Everyone, cheer up and get the corpse of that giant scorpion..."

Before he finished speaking, a faint white fluorescence quietly emerged from the giant scorpion that looked like a puddle of mud.

At the same time, under Xu Mingqi's gaze, the information entropy fluctuation value that had originally returned to zero began to slowly rise again.

"It's not dead yet!!"

Xu Mingqi's face changed slightly, and he interrupted Fang Yunsheng directly: "It wants to fight back!!"

"...Tsk!"

Fang Yunsheng frowned, clicked his tongue, and gave another order: "Damn it, charge the guns and get ready!!"

"Since it's not dead yet, let's kill it completely and then collect the body!!"

Fang Yunsheng said harshly.

……

Under Fang Yunsheng's command, along with the strong fluctuations of time and space that quietly arose, the huge fireball formed by the explosion flames in the starry sky began to gradually dim.

One warship after another cut through the sky and flew in the predetermined direction, forming a dragnet around the giant scorpion whose life or death was uncertain.

Perhaps it was because it sensed the whistling space-time fluctuations beside it, or perhaps it was because of the instinct engraved in its genes, the giant scorpion, which had almost lost consciousness, slowly woke up.

Its only remaining eye also disappeared when it broke free from the timeline, but it can still sense the fluctuations in time and space around it.

【Mother civilization...】

[Wang...report...]

A barely detectable white fluorescence extended from the broken flesh on the back, sending a little information to the surrounding starry sky, to which no one responded.

A blue-green light was released from the chest cavity where a large piece of flesh was missing - that was originally the location where the crystal was placed, but when it broke free from the timeline, the disintegrated crystal directly took away the tough piece of flesh.

Fortunately.

The collapse of the crystal did not damage the zero-point furnace deep in the chest cavity.

The giant scorpion's heart moved.

Under its will, this zero-point furnace let out the last roar of its life!

Boom!Boom! !

Vacuum zero-point energy with slightly impurities intermittently gushed out from the zero-point furnace!
The damage caused by forcibly escaping from the timeline was too great. At this moment, there was almost no complete energy transportation channel in the giant scorpion's body.

But that doesn't matter.

The vacuum zero-point energy that has lost its restraints will naturally open up a brand new channel in the flesh and blood!

The giant scorpion gritted its teeth and directly opened up all controls over the Zero Point Furnace!
The blue-purple light extended from the chest cavity, along the cracks, and spread directly towards the flesh on the back of the giant scorpion! !
boom! ! !
At the moment when the last of the vacuum zero-point energy poured in, the few remaining pieces of flesh quietly shattered, and a stream of information much more powerful than before quietly appeared around the giant scorpion.

"Looking" at the starships speeding from afar and the high-energy jets that were about to hit itself, a string of complex coordinates flashed through the giant scorpion's mind.

Swish.

A second before the artillery fire arrived, its broken body suddenly disappeared into the visible universe!
