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

Chapter 538 Triple Killing
Moshu stared blankly at the shocking scene in the holographic interface. The tiny black and white hairs on his body stood up clearly. From a distance, he looked like a black and white ball.

Before coming to the Node Universe, he had been in charge of more than one star gate. In a sense, he could be considered an experienced and skilled worker.

But even so, in his memory, he had never encountered a scene where a Genesis Fortress emerged from a branch star gate.

the reason is simple.

On the one hand, the scale of Genesis Fortress itself is too large.

Moreover, special-purpose ships like the Genesis Fortress, which do not have much immediate combat power of their own, are usually surrounded by a fairly large integrated fleet.

With a size that is often measured in light years, coupled with an equally large human fleet, it is destined to be difficult for it to use the normal starship channels.

on the other hand.

In the pan-universe, 80% of the star gates are actually branch star gates. Compared with the central star gates of the main universe and the main star gates at various key nodes, the scale and carrying capacity of these branch star gates are very limited.

In order to allow the Genesis Fortress and its integrated fleet to pass normally, all regular transportation tasks must be stopped, which will naturally involve various aspects of the matter - who knows whether those regular transportation tasks will be mixed with some extremely high-priority things, such as the scientific research transportation tasks of the Academy of Sciences...

If the above are all objective reasons, then there is actually an extremely important "subjective" reason.

The "working" area of ​​Genesis Fortress is mainly in the frontier areas of the pan-universe, where there is often no infrastructure, let alone branch star gates.

Instead of going through the thankless task of transferring through stargates again and again, it would be better to use the phase engine to directly "cross" the hyperspace membrane.

"Yes."

Wang Jing's voice came from the communication link that had not yet been cut off, pulling the thoughtful Moshu back to reality: "This is a Genesis Fortress temporarily transferred from the main universe. The other Genesis Fortresses are still on the way."

It was not until then that Moshu realized a strange phenomenon - the star gate only received the jump request from the Genesis Fortress, and the integrated fleet that was supposed to surround the Genesis Fortress did not follow it into the star gate at all.

"Node Universe..."

Mochi swallowed and asked cautiously, "What happened?"

"I guess so." In the communication interface, Wang Jing looked down at the many parameters in front of him and responded casually, "Based on the current situation, the node universe may be an unstable bomb."

"Bomb, bomb, bomb... a bomb?!"

"The cosmic bubble can explode?!" A hint of shock flashed across Mochi's round black eyes. "Is there, is there such a thing? This thing...how big is the explosion range?"

"According to the calculations of the Central Brain, it is conservatively estimated that it will affect more than half of the universe."

"?!"

After hearing Wang Jing's answer, Moshu felt unwell.

So, he's been working on a bomb of this size?

Moshu wanted to continue asking questions, but seeing Wang Jing's unusually solemn expression, he could only silently swallow the uneasiness and fear that was about to come to his lips.

The entire jump process did not take much time. After a short wait, a series of prompt messages popped up on the holographic control panel in front of Mochi.

[The target has successfully entered the Stargate Universe. ]

[Stargate is working normally, current output power: 1%. ]

[The Star Gate is closing...]

[The pan-universe data transmission channel has been successfully blocked in one direction. 】

【…】

Looking at Wang Jing, whose mind was still immersed in various complex data, Mochi hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "...Academician Wang, the transition is complete."

"Ok?"

"Oh...you mean the Genesis Fortress..." Wang Jing raised her head and took a quick glance, then turned her attention back to the data that others couldn't understand at all. She waved her hand casually, "Don't worry, the fortress will leave the Stargate Universe soon."

"My signal here is a bit weak. I'd like to borrow the signal transfer interface of the Stargate Tower temporarily. Is that okay?"

Mochi nodded with a bitter face.

Can he refuse? Does he dare to refuse?
……

More than ten minutes later.

Under Mochi's gaze, the Genesis Fortress, which was fifty light years in size, silently transformed into a blurry, super-three-dimensional gray shadow.

It has been upgraded.

The gray shadow quickly swept across the starry sky, and then completely disappeared in the dim universe where the only light source was the star gate.

"Attention all units."

Wang Jing took a deep breath and gave an order with a serious look: "Start the Genesis unit and prepare to cut the cosmic membrane."

"The cutting area has been successfully uploaded to the ship's main computer."

Mochi, who was huddled in the control room of the Stargate Tower, looked at Wang Jing in shock.

As the star gate controller of the node universe, he naturally knew the special features of the node universe - the cosmic membrane was extremely tough and its structure was extremely complex, which directly led to the human fleet's inability to officially land in the cosmic bubble in the past.

In order to ensure the safety of the node universe and not to alert the enemy, the Human Union has been conducting conservative research on it, but now it has suddenly used such a tough cutting method.

Thinking of what Wang Jing had mentioned earlier about the "cosmic bubble bomb", Mochi's heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that……

Is the problem with the cosmic membrane?

As this thought flashed through his mind, the Genesis Fortress, which was already hovering on the outskirts of the node universe, had already taken action.

hum!
The artificial singularity created by dimensionality reduction began to vibrate violently, and under the precise control of the Genesis Fortress, strings of special frequencies turned into a scalpel invisible to the naked eye, slowly extending towards the thin cosmic membrane in front.

This is an operation of cosmic proportions.

Thanks to Wang Jing, Moshu was able to successfully witness this grand scene that other people had no chance to see.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at the real-time image that had been transferred twice in the holographic interface - in the bizarre natural order field, a cosmic bubble embedded in the hyperspace membrane, like a crystal clear water drop, suddenly had a shallow dent without any warning.

Compared to the universe itself, this tiny dent is not that big.

But for civilization in the universe, this insignificant dent is enough to easily swallow a medium-sized galaxy!

This is the lethality that is unique to the fifth-dimensional level.

As long as the operator of Genesis Fortress makes a small mistake, a galaxy-level mass extinction event will occur in the node universe!
【Output power: 20%. 】

As the output power gradually increased, the shallow dent became more and more obvious.

Looking at the scene in the holographic interface, Mochi couldn't help but take a breath.

Although he had never seen the Genesis Fortress cutting the cosmic membrane with his own eyes, as the controller of the star gate, he knew one thing very well - in front of the Genesis Fortress, the cosmic membrane was nothing more than a big bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.

Able to withstand 20% of the output of the sub-capital Genesis Fortress...

The strength of this thing is even higher than the hyperspace membrane!
"Oh my god..." Looking at the output power that was still slowly rising, Moshu suddenly felt his scalp tingling, "Where the hell did this monster come from..."

puff.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dent that spanned tens of thousands of light years quietly broke.

A deep crack suddenly appeared on the smooth cosmic membrane.

Just like a balloon that was blown up and then had a small cut made, countless microscopic particles gushed out from the crack.

Although Wang Jing specially chose a relatively open area to conduct the experiment, accidental injuries could not be avoided - some of these particles were floating particles in the starry sky, and some were various celestial bodies condensed into clusters, including stars, planets, and even... it was possible that some unlucky planets with life were included.

Under high-speed friction, these particle clusters produce effects similar to those in the accretion disk region of a black hole.

Streamers flashing golden and red light shot out from the cracks, and then quickly fell back under the influence of the cosmic bubble's own gravity, and finally scattered on the surrounding intact cosmic membrane, forming a temporary particle barrier with a faint luster.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Just when Moshu was immersed in this gorgeous scene, a shrill alarm sounded without warning in the control room of the Stargate Tower!

"Warning!!" The previously lively electronic synthesized voice became extremely stiff at this moment: "Unknown data attack detected!"

"An abnormal logic error occurred in the secondary control block!!"

"Warning! Firewall failed! Warning! Abnormal logic error occurred in the first-level block!!"

"Fuck!!"

Mochi screamed in a shrill voice and jumped towards the circular control console in front of him.

He didn't have time to think about it, he quickly stretched out his claws and quickly dialed the virtual buttons on the holographic panel.

"Mastermind, forcefully restart the abnormal block!"

Nothing happens.

"Damn it! Why did this thing freeze again?!"

problem occurs!
If the Stargate's core control center loses control...

Looking at the control blocks that were falling rapidly, Mochi suddenly felt a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out of the palms of his hands.

"Cut it all off! Cut off all data exchange channels between the core block and the outside world!!"

"quick!"

Wang Jing's somewhat distorted voice came from the shaky communication link. Moshu shuddered and subconsciously pulled the emergency button on the side of the console.

Boom! ! !
A slight vibration came from the control tower below. Outside the porthole, the brightly lit star gate quickly dimmed from the end of the sight.

In the end, only the star ring of the star gate and the control tower facing it from afar were left, still emitting a faint light in the dim microcosm.

The alarm sounds that continued one after another slowly stopped.

Moshu looked at the densely packed bright red warning pop-up windows on the console with tears in his eyes: "Academician Wang, this..."

"Don't worry about your Star Gate for now." Wang Jing interrupted Mochi with a gloomy face, "Genesis Fortress has also had problems!"

Mochi was startled and subconsciously looked up at the holographic interface that he had ignored.

Just as Wang Jing said.

The situation at Genesis Fortress is far worse than that at Stargate Tower!

Crack! Crack!
Under the gaze of Moshu and Wang Jing, dark blue arcs of electricity extended from the tip of the front half of the cone of the Genesis Fortress, passing across the surface of the fortress like a dragon, and quickly spread to the entire fortress.

Wherever the electric arc reached, all the mechanical equipment inside the fortress went into a state of shutdown!
"This...what the hell is going on..."

Mochi asked with a trembling voice.

"High-intensity polluted information flow." Wang Jing's face looked a little ugly. "Chen Fan was right. This kind of polluted information flow is also mixed in the cosmic membrane of the node universe..."

Hearing the familiar name, Mochi's ears twitched slightly.

In the holographic interface, the faint blue arcs finally came to a standstill after covering nearly a quarter of the Genesis Fortress.

They seemed to have encountered a barrier invisible to the naked eye and stopped completely on the surface of the fortress.

"fine……"

Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand and gently wiped away the sporadic cold sweat on her forehead: "The information barrier was successfully activated..."

Information barrier?

What kind of technology is this?
Mochi's ears moved again, and the doubt in his eyes became more intense.

How does it feel...

Human Union suddenly has a bunch of technologies that he has never heard of?
far away.

As the Genesis Fortress was forced to stop the cutting work, without the interference of external forces, the self-repair ability of the cosmic membrane finally began to take effect.

The small gap that stretched for tens of thousands of light years gradually shortened.

In just a few minutes, the node universe bubble returned to its original smooth state.

"Okay, the experiment is over."

In the communication interface, Wang Jing stood up from her seat in a hurry: "Moshu, the aftermath of the Star Gate is left to you."

Mochi stood in the spacious control room, staring blankly at the communication interface that had been unilaterally cut off, then looked at the control panel with a red screen, and finally looked at the Genesis Fortress that was stuck outside the node universe, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.

"……ah??!"

……

Anti-universe.

"The test results are out."

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Wang Jing looked extremely serious: "You guessed right, there is indeed a large amount of polluted information flow hidden in the cosmic membrane of the node universe."

"and……"

"From the test results, its strength is even much stronger than the anti-universe bubble."

"Although only a small cut was made in the cosmic membrane, the contaminated information flow that escaped almost caused both the Genesis Fortress and the Stargate Hub to shut down at the same time."

Chen Fan calmed down and asked, "What about the macro channel problem..."

"It is still unclear what effect the macro channel has on the cosmic bubble." Wang Jing shook her head. "The Academy of Sciences is conducting a comprehensive analysis."

"But one thing is certain."

"If the node universe and the anti-universe bubble collapse at the same time, the polluted information flow released will be enough to complete a blanket strike on more than 60% of the territory of the Human Alliance!"

There was a sudden sound of people sucking in their breaths of cold air inside the investigator's starship.

60% of the territory, what the hell does that mean?
Simply put, if this is launched, the Human Union will probably be destroyed.

Beside him, from under the slightly swaying wide hood came Isa's timid voice: "Academician Wang, if you say so..."

"The combination of the node universe bubble and the anti-universe bubble will become a time bomb specifically targeting the Human Union, right?"

The moment the words fell, Chen Fan and Wang Jing's pupils suddenly dilated.

"yes……"

Chen Fan's voice was slightly trembling: "The cosmic membrane of the anti-universe bubble is not tough enough. Once an external invasion occurs, it will collapse irreversibly."

"This is like a fuse that indirectly detonates the node universe within the territory of the Human Union."

"Moreover..." Wang Jing took over Chen Fan's words, "According to the report of the TE913 research vessel, the node universe drilled out from the inside of the cosmic membrane..."

Chen Fan shuddered, and his voice became increasingly vague: "In other words..."

"As long as the Human Union discovers the node universe, as long as the Human Union explores it, as long as the Human Union attempts to forcibly land, it is possible to trigger this bomb."

"Even if they don't force a landing, the Apophis Scorpion's invasion of the Anti-Universe could potentially trigger this bomb."

"No, this isn't over yet!"

Chen Fan felt even colder. "There is one more thing. Even if the Human Union does not forcibly land in the node universe, the ghost fleet will guide the Human Union into the anti-universe, thus triggering this bomb!"

"This is a triple kill against the Human Alliance..."

"enemy……"

"Even taking into account the ghost fleet from the future!"

Chen Fan's murmurs echoed in the cockpit of the investigator starship:
"Who is the enemy?"
