Chapter 533 The Shadow Strikes
"I found something useful, please take a look." Huang Zhong distributed the information to everyone present.

A paper titled "Dark Energy Research" appeared in front of everyone, and Huang Zhong specially marked the key part.

[...Dark energy can emit dark wavelets (similar to photon waves). Dark wavelets are suspected to be related to quantum communication. After many experiments, it has been confirmed that dark wavelets are very likely to be of the same type as quantum, or quantum waves It is a part of the dark wavelet (equivalent to the long wave being a part of the electromagnetic wave);...]
[...In a series of dark wavelet experiments, we found that dark wavelets can interfere with quantum communication to a certain extent, especially in areas where the concentration of dark energy is increasing, quantum communication is more likely to be interfered. is an amazing...]
Li Wentao put down his thesis: "In other words, the Explorer is very likely to be disturbed by dark subwaves of dark energy."

"Could it be that there is a region of dark energy in the Polaris region?" Alexander Vasily asked suspiciously

Li Wentao shook his head: "The possibility of man-made is very high. After all, the natural dark energy and our positive matter world are completely different, and the two have never interacted with each other. It is impossible for a dark energy area to interfere with the quantum communication of the explorer for no reason. of."

"Human? Wen Tao, do you suspect that the dark beast civilization is obstructing it?" Wang Tiejun immediately realized
Li Wentao nodded: "Among the civilizations we know, the dark beast civilization is the most suspected. It seems that we are ready to fight."

"I have put the Third Army on red alert," said Alexander Vasily.

"No, just the third army is not enough. We have to make a perfect plan. I am afraid that the opponent is not good. I suggest that the first and second armies also enter the red alert state, and the fourth army enters the yellow alert state." Wang Tiejun suggested. .

"I agree." Li Wentao raised his hand first.

"agree."

"Agreed." The other five also raised their hands in agreement.

……

Stern air defense sirens rang out in various military bases in the solar system, and the entire alliance immediately knew that something might be wrong.

All soldiers' vacations were cancelled, and they returned to their respective stations to report immediately; the arsenal and battleship factory entered a semi-wartime state and began to explode production; all battleships and planetary defense fortresses entered a wartime state.

And the warning satellite system and various observation stations arranged outside the solar system are also watching all directions of the solar system around the clock, searching for possible invading enemies.

In particular, the location where the explorer lost contact has been paid more attention by the alliance, but even if there is any movement, it will take at least 40 days, because the explorer is also equipped with a neutrino communication system. is the speed of light.

In the area where the Explorer lost contact, the distance to the nearest communication satellite is about 7000 astronomical units, and it takes 40 days to transmit back at the speed of light.

However, the neutrinos and gravitational waves sent by the alliance took the initiative to take about 80 days to go back and forth before we can know the specific situation there.

Now we can only pray that the Explorer will be blessed. The Alliance Army has already begun to prepare for the war to deal with the very likely Dark Beast Civilization.

The Supreme Command and the Alliance Council have held several consecutive meetings to discuss how to deal with this matter.

……

In the distant starry sky, among the endless starry dots, a solitary spaceship is advancing at full speed.

"Has the communication system not returned to normal yet?" Ma Wu asked with an ugly face.

Fang Haibo shook his head: "No, the quantum communication system has been disturbed, we can only use neutrinos to communicate now."

Ma Wu hammered the chair angrily: "These damned things should be the dark beast civilization. I didn't expect that these guys have come to the vicinity of the solar system. We must let the alliance know about it as soon as possible."

"I think the alliance has already discovered the anomaly on the explorer side. After all, it has been so long since we agreed to communicate with the alliance." Fang Haibo could only hope for the best.

"I hope so." Ma Wu turned his head to Kobayashi and asked: "Justice, are those alien fleets still behind us?"

"Yes, they are still there, but they are firing lasers to interfere with our flight." Masayoshi Kobayashi replied seriously.

"Are there as many of them as before?" Ma Wu continued to ask.

Masayoshi Kobayashi nodded: "There are still 73 space battleships, but the speed of their spaceships has only reached 6.4% of the speed of light, which is less than half of ours. We are safe for the time being."

"Don't take it lightly, after all, it is another civilization of the universe." Ma Wu said cautiously.

"Yes." Masayoshi Kobayashi also knew that now is not the time to relax his vigilance. In order to avoid being fired by the opponent's laser cannon, the Explorer needs to make irregular maneuvers while flying. This flying method greatly drags down the flight speed. At present, the speed of Explorer has dropped to only about 11.3% of the speed of light.

After Zhang Handong inspected each cabin, he returned to the cockpit again: "The damaged parts have been repaired, and the soldiers' emotions are still stable."

"Commissioner Zhang also take a rest, everything will be fine." Ma Wu comforted calmly.

"My mental capacity is not so weak, don't worry about me." Zhang Handong smiled and waved his hand.

Time back to two days ago.

The Explorer, which was exploring the channel in the void, suddenly lost all quantum communication systems, just as Ma Wu and others were in a hurry.

A large number of space battleships suddenly appeared on the upper side of the explorer, and the other party opened fire and besieged without saying a word.

Fortunately, the explorer was very fast. After damaging the opponent's two space battleships, it instantly got rid of the opponent through maneuvering.

Although there was only one round of confrontation, both sides knew the horror of the other side, and the explorer also knew the other side's information. This space fleet belonged to the dark beast civilization, and the other side regarded the explorer as belonging to the Sous civilization.

The main reason for the misunderstanding is that the prototype of the Explorer is the Shadow Leopard-class space cruiser of the South civilization, but Ma Wu and others are not fools, and the other party's strategic misjudgment certainly cannot be explained.

The reason why the explorer escaped was mainly because of the opponent's dark energy shells, which could contaminate even the condensed matter shield. The explorer could only use the dual defense of a strong magnetic field shield and a condensed matter shield.

In addition, the dark energy cannon of the dark beast civilization is the real threat. Pure dark energy attacks, even double defenses, are useless.

The explorer was only rubbed against the condensed matter shield on the side, causing the condensed matter shield generator on that side to be polluted and scrapped. This is the reason why Ma Wu decided to escape.

However, the other party has the technology to block quantum communication, which caused the Explorer and the Alliance to lose contact.

In this way, the two sides are constantly chasing in the void, but because the alliance's engine technology is better than that of the other side, the distance between the two sides is gradually widening.

Therefore, in order to interfere with the flight speed of the explorer, the opponent continuously fired lasers to interfere with the explorer. The left side of the explorer was scrapped due to the condensed matter shield, and it would be very dangerous if it was fired by the opponent's laser.

……

Herik planetary fortress.

12 Shadow Leopard-class space cruisers and 3 Longtooth-class space battleships are ready.
