Chapter 584 Quadrant and Bait

Although the other party's identity had been verified, this sudden change still caused quite a stir within the expedition fleet.

That's normal.

Anyone who sees warships of similar size heading straight towards them would probably not remain calm.

Fortunately, Fang Yunsheng issued an emergency order, and the turmoil within the fleet was quickly quelled. Each warship hovered steadily in its original position, silently waiting for the situation to change.

The ghost fleet moves very quickly.

After only a few dozen seconds, those warships with dilapidated appearance were evenly distributed inside the expeditionary fleet - the two fleets with similar styles merged into one at this moment and blended into each other.

"This……"

Inside the flagship fortress, Fang Yunsheng looked out the porthole at a warship that was nearly one-fifth of its hull missing. For a moment, he found it difficult to understand the meaning of the ghost fleet's actions: "What do they want to do?"

Chen Fan was also watching the changes outside the holographic porthole. Unlike Fang Yunsheng, he could detect the intentions of the ghost fleet in advance through some subtle changes in the information flow.

When he felt a familiar information wave emerging from within the fleet and quickly enveloping the entire fleet, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly revealed enlightenment.

"Pick up."

Chen Fan murmured in a low voice, saying a word that was exactly the same as the ghost fleet.

"Guide?" Fang Yunsheng was stunned, and the confusion on his face became more and more intense. "Where to?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to cross this macro barrier."

"As for the final destination..." Looking at the information entropy fluctuation value that began to slowly rise again in the holographic interface, Chen Fan gave a positive answer, "Apophis Mother Universe."

The moment the words fell, the value of the information entropy fluctuation suddenly rose, and the world before his eyes once again switched to that abstract sketch style.

And in Chen Fan's perception, the string of coordinate parameters that had almost stagnated began to change rapidly again.

More importantly...

The suffix [32] at the end of the second coordinate parameter was gradually dimming as he watched!

……

When the abstract pixel-style picture in front of him returned to normal, the coordinate suffix that had troubled Chen Fan for a long time finally made a qualitative leap!
【31】!
The macro barrier that was invisible to the naked eye was completely left behind at this moment!
Chen Fan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the holographic porthole beside him.

Apart from the ghost fleet that was gleaming with a bright white luster and the super-large golden composite shield from the Genesis Fortress, there was still deep darkness outside the porthole.

There is no change in the projection space.

Like the expedition fleet, the ghost fleet also quietly docked in this empty projection space. Compared with before, the bright white light on them was obviously dimmer.

Obviously, even for a ghost fleet, it would be quite difficult to "guide" an expeditionary fleet across the macro-barrier.

"What the hell is this place?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the ghost fleet paused its coordinate jump, Chen Fan quickly asked the other party: "This question won't cause the so-called deviation, right?"

As before, the ghost fleet did not give an immediate answer.

The fluorescent light outside the holographic porthole flickered slightly, and it seemed that this mysterious fleet was having a heated discussion on this issue.

After a long time, a stream of information came.

【We call this subspace.】

[Of course, a long time ago, it was also called projection space. ]

"Information state projection of the hyperspace membrane?" Chen Fan's mind moved and he continued to ask.

【Yes. 】

"Then what does the suffix [32] at the end of the second coordinate parameter mean?"

Chen Fan found that the ghost fleet was quite willing to answer, so he did not have time to think carefully and asked the second question: "Why was our fleet unable to move forward before? Was it because of some invisible macro-barrier?"

The ghost fleet remained silent for even longer.

【We call these quadrants.】

[There are regular barriers between quadrants, which are invisible barriers that are difficult to cross when projected into the subspace.]

"Quadrant..."

Chen Fan was greatly shocked.

Although the ghost fleet's explanation was very sloppy, he still read some deep information from the word quadrant.

According to the standard definition, the term quadrant is usually only used in the rectangular coordinate system. The four areas divided by the horizontal and vertical axes of the coordinate system are the four quadrants.

But if we substitute the rectangular coordinate system into the hyperspace membrane itself...

The so-called horizontal and vertical axes are probably the rule barriers mentioned by the Ghost Fleet, while [32] and [28] are different areas of the hyperspace membrane.

As for what are the rules barriers...

This is not difficult to understand - Song Ziliang once briefly observed that the hyperspace membrane was not uniform, which actually proved that there may be a plurality of regular and different blocks on the hyperspace membrane.

The separation between these blocks with different rules is the so-called rule barrier.

"…How many quadrants does the hyperspace membrane have in total?"

Chen Fan's eyes moved and he asked again.

【32. 】

There are only 32 quadrants...

That means that the pan-universe where the Human Union is located is the last quadrant!
Before Chen Fan could continue to ask, the ghost fleet once again emitted a dazzling white light, interrupting his intention: [The second coordinate jump is about to begin, Your Majesty, please be prepared. ]

Swish! !

I don’t know if it was Chen Fan’s illusion or something, but the ghost fleet seemed to be afraid that Chen Fan would continue asking questions - they didn’t even wait for Chen Fan to reply. A strong information wave roared up, and the high-definition world fell towards the abstract sketch style again.

next second.

Chen Fan's attention was attracted by the rapidly changing coordinate parameters.

The coordinate area that was originally engraved with [31] is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and is gradually showing the words [30].

After realizing this, Chen Fan was completely stunned.

A jump span of a whole quadrant!!
This is much more powerful than his leap across 100,000 pan-universes! !

In addition to being shocked, Chen Fan also keenly noticed a strange phenomenon - the distance the fleet crossed the 32nd Quadrant and the 31st Quadrant was completely different, and the gap between the two was even several times!
After a little thought, he had some understanding in his mind.

It is like a plane rectangular coordinate system. From the first quadrant to the third quadrant, although it is necessary to pass through the second or fourth quadrant, the distance crossed will also change dramatically as the angle of travel changes.

I think the same is true for the hyperspace membrane.

The ghost fleet must have chosen the shortest and fastest route.

But in the next moment.

Looking at the word [30] that was almost completely formed in the coordinate parameters, a surprising idea suddenly flashed through Chen Fan's mind.

You know, the rectangular coordinate system has an origin. If you choose to pass through the origin from the first quadrant to the third quadrant, you don't need to pass through the second or fourth quadrant at all!
Then...where is the origin of the hyperspace membrane?
more importantly……

This extremely precise coordinate parameter system, which has been running for an unknown amount of time, was formed naturally or was it set artificially?
Chen Fan shuddered suddenly.

After the second coordinate jump was completed, Chen Fan hurriedly asked the ghost fleet these shocking questions.

but……

No matter how long Chen Fan waited, even when the ghost fleet began its third coordinate jump, even when the string of suffix numbers representing the quadrant gradually changed from [30] to [29], Chen Fan did not wait for the ghost fleet's response.

Obviously.

In the Ghost Fleet's view, these sensitive issues are bound to lead to deviations. Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, the ghost fleet itself is not aware of these secrets.

……

The 29th quadrant of the hyperspace membrane.

Like the previous jumps, after successfully crossing the rule barrier, the ghost fleet began a short rest.

As for the expeditionary fleet, they took advantage of this period of time to get busy.

Although there is no matter in the subspace, since it is the information state projection of the hyperspace membrane, the fleet can still observe the rule information of the corresponding area from it.

The rule information spanning three full quadrants is undoubtedly priceless research material for the Human Alliance that has not yet stepped out of the quadrant!

therefore.

Whenever the Ghost Fleet goes into rest, the Expedition Fleet turns on all active and passive detection equipment to complete the exploration work with the highest possible efficiency.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

Just as the expedition fleet turned on the detection equipment as before, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded, attracting Fang Yunsheng's attention.

"Another high-intensity information flow?"

Looking at the prompt information in the holographic interface, Fang Yunsheng was stunned: "And it's an information flow with a recognition level of AAAAA?"

"How is this possible?"

AAAAA recognition, this almost means that the other party is a member of Renlian!!

the other side.

At the moment when the alarm sounded in the flagship command center, Chen Fan, who was in the Gaia planetary fortress, turned his head with a puzzled look at the holographic porthole on the left side of the cockpit.

"That is……"

There was a gleam of doubt in his eyes: "The Human Alliance Expeditionary Fleet?"

Chen Fan's heart moved, and a long thin stream of information shot out, tracing back to the source of the high-intensity information flow!
In just a blink of an eye, a picture that shook his heart violently came back from the detection information stream and appeared in his mind.

It was a fleet that Chen Fan was extremely familiar with.

Two Genesis fortresses, hundreds of thousands of conventional warships, and... a planetary fortress that is entirely khaki in color and has a completely different style!

"Z619 Expeditionary Fleet?!"

Looking at the words engraved on the side of the battleship, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but exclaimed: "What the hell is going on?!"

"Mr. Chen Fan, have you discovered it too?"

The communication channel was automatically opened, and Fang Yunsheng's unusually serious voice came from it: "Signal recognition shows that the other party is very likely the Human Fleet."

"But this doesn't make sense. How could there be a human-linked fleet in the 29th Quadrant..."

"No..." Chen Fan shook his head with difficulty and described the scene he saw with the help of the information flow. "The warship model is the same, the fleet configuration is the same, and even the damaged parts of the warships are exactly the same. That is definitely the Z619 fleet, our fleet!!"

Listening to Chen Fan's description, Fang Yunsheng suddenly felt a strong chill on his back.

"If that is the Z619 fleet, then..."

He swallowed hard, his pupils trembling slightly: "Who are we?"

The moment the words fell, something strange happened!

Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's surveillance, the clone fleet that was quietly hovering in the subspace slowly changed its direction.

next second.

It rushed straight towards the Z619 fleet! !

Almost at the same time, a dazzling white light appeared outside the holographic porthole.

The ghost fleet, which was previously resting, quickly activated a stream of information and began to modify the fleet's coordinate parameters again!

Faced with this sudden and unreasonable change, Chen Fan felt unwell.

Why is there a Z29 fleet in the subspace of the [619th] quadrant?

What does that Z619 fleet have to do with them?

Why did the Ghost Fleet flee in such a hurry?

"W-What the hell is going on?!"

Seeing the world before his eyes begin to change into a sketch style, Chen Fan suddenly stood up from his seat and asked the ghost fleet outside the holographic porthole: "Who are they?!"

"Who are you guys?!"

No response.

……

shuh...

The fourth coordinate jump is completed, and the world before our eyes returns to color.

Of course, the clone fleet that Chen Fan had met once also completely disappeared from his sight.

"I need an explanation!!"

Chen Fan continued to ask questions to the ghost fleet with a grim face.

At the same time, under Fang Yunsheng's command, the Genesis Fortress located in the center of the fleet also began to plan a new wave of information flow attacks.

As for the conventional warships, they aimed their guns at the ghost warships around them as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

[…That’s bait.]

After a moment, the dim ghost fleet gave a simple answer.

"Bait?"

When Chen Fan heard this word appear for the second time, he was stunned.

Whose bait is this?

Who released the bait?

Thinking of the ghost fleet's hasty escape, and then thinking of its appearance that was exactly the same as the Z619 fleet, as well as the extremely similar frequency and fluctuations of information flow, an astonishing guess suddenly emerged in Chen Fan's mind.

This bait seems to be released against the ghost fleet.

As for who will release the bait...

Chen Fan also had a vague guess in his mind.

He swallowed and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, was that done by Radio Civilization?"

After all, according to Kraken's description, 310 million years ago, the Ghost Fleet had fought a great war in the anti-universe.

And the opponent in that war is very likely to be a broadcasting civilization!

[Time is running out, Your Majesty, I will start the last coordinate jump as soon as possible and open the channel to the main space for you. ]

The ghost fleet did not respond to Chen Fan's words, but after a short rest, it re-activated a stream of information.

Swish! ! !
As the world before our eyes began to change once again, the number representing the quadrant began to gradually jump from [29] to [28].

We have arrived at the quadrant where the Apophis mother universe is located.
