The battle has ended, and the servant army and reserve echelon have begun to clean the battlefield and recover the starships that are still useful. The Lion Legion led by Odysseus and Rena have just returned to the formation, and the magic vanguard and arcane law enforcement have just returned to the formation.
Almost every officer suffered a certain degree of damage, but none of them was killed. It must be said that their special fighting method is really useful on specific battlefields. The main echelon of the Sixth Fleet is now reorganizing, gathering and counting battle losses.
Although we finally won the victory, and the results seemed good, we must admit that the ferocious invasion of the fallen apostles caused a lot of losses to the new empire this time. The Sixth Fleet lost nearly one-third in this battle.
The servant army did not launch a frontal attack, but its battle losses almost reached this amount.
At least in the recent period, the Sixth Fleet cannot appear on the frontal battlefield. They need to recuperate, replenish the destroyed warships, and restore the vacancies caused by the fallen soldiers. Although the Xiling Apostles have the ability to resurrect, facing this
In a high-intensity battlefield, not every soldier can be resurrected. Many brave soldiers were completely killed in the battle. The military will be very busy in the future. It should be said that fortunately we achieved a greater advantage in the early stages of the battle.
And it has been maintained, otherwise this vicious battle may even damage the entire Sixth Fleet. As the current main force of the New Empire fighting against the fallen apostles, this situation is extremely bad.
And when the fleet commander started the routine finishing work, we finally had enough energy to focus on other things.
When the battle was in full swing, the intelligence officer reported a request for help from an unknown source. The requester stated that they were being attacked by a group of extremely destructive enemies. We suspect that the people who attacked them were the same group of people fighting with the Imperial Army.
The Fallen Apostle Invading Army. Because everyone was involved in a fierce battle at the time, and because of Xiaoxue's suggestion, this request for help was temporarily shelved. Now, it's time for us to take a look at it.
Sivis turned on the holographic device on the officer's platform, which displayed the translated original text of the request for help as well as the coordinates and frequency information of the message. She reported to us: "It has been nearly nine hours since the message was sent. The sender's
The response completely disappeared, and we did not detect the second similar signal. According to Her Royal Highness the Princess’ prediction, the sender should still be alive, but they are hiding.”
Pandora tried her best to stretch her body and lie in front of the holographic device, with a very serious expression on her face. As Sivis's general, she must at least look like she is strategizing at this time. But I don't expect her to put forward any constructive suggestions:
This short winter melon who only thinks about explosions looks like a fool to any problem that cannot be solved by explosions. However, her twin sister Viska sitting next to her made some suggestions: "How about we broadcast it to the whole universe and say that the battle is over?"
It’s over, it’s safe outside now, let them come out?”
I glanced at Viska, and the little girl looked back with her shining blood-colored cat eyes. She smiled happily, showing her two filial teeth: "Brother, brother, this is a good idea, isn't it?"
Her intelligence outside of cannon measures was only slightly higher than Pandora's. I shook my head: "If it were you, would you believe it?"
"In the eyes of a third party, it should be difficult to distinguish between the Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostles," Sivis shook his head as expected. "Except for the abyss reaction, there is basically no difference between us and the Fallen Apostles' army. This third-party force should have a strong influence on the Empire.
They know nothing about the situation, so they should be equally wary and avoidant towards the Imperial Army now. It may be unrealistic to establish contact with them through conventional means. However, the power of Her Royal Highness may be able to find their hiding place...
…”
"I can only make a vague judgment," Xiaoxue rubbed her forehead. The child was already very tired, but she still tried her best to determine the location of the person asking for help. She operated a few times on the star map, zoomed out, and finally selected a
A bright celestial body hundreds of millions of light-years away from here. "Roughly at this location, there is a supermassive celestial body that is rapidly collapsing. It may be a quasar. The super strong electromagnetic radiation and natural gravitational distortion released by it are very ideal."
Barrier. If my judgment is correct, they are somewhere in this quasar. However... they seem to have the ability to travel through the world. If we send people there rashly, they may run away, and then it will be
The embarrassing situation of chasing and escaping. Although the imperial starship is not unable to catch up with them, it is just that if they jump into the macro world network rashly, they may be in danger. This universe is already very close to the macro world network, and the other party
They are a bunch of naughty kids who have not memorized the rules of sailing across the world."
...Listening to the biggest naughty kid in history calling others naughty kids, this feeling is so subtle.
"We need a few spaceships that are not part of the imperial camp, and..." I turned to look at the circle of people around me, "There are also a few idle guys. 123, I'm talking about you guys, come here
Help me, let’s rescue the crashed spaceship..."
Before I could finish my words, Bingtis came over to me and stretched out: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt..."
Me: "...Stop saying a few words and no one will treat you as a mute!"
Spaceships other than Imperial starships are easy to find. The Sixth Fleet brought a considerable number of servants with it when it went out. Soon we temporarily requisitioned an aircraft carrier and three carrying barges from the fleet of the Civilized Community: these are their
The biggest ship. Although we are not sure how many people sent out the call for help and how much stuff they carried, Xiaoxue said it would be beneficial to bring a few big ships. In addition to the original crew members on these ships, Xiaoxue and I and
The five-man team of protoss officers will personally accompany them, while my sister will stay on the Imperial Admiral to guard the main formation, and watch the reserve echelon and servant army clean up the battlefield - my sister, who is diligent and thrifty, likes to watch the scene of packing things at home.
Yes, she used to watch me put things in the refrigerator, but now she watches her fleet empty spaceships into the hangar...
In addition, Pandora and Viska were also ordered to stay on the spacecraft. The two little guys had no interest in things other than fighting, and they did not like boring actions like rescuing a crashed spacecraft. Moreover, they also had to check their own heat dissipation.
The device is coming...
Riding on the aircraft carrier of the civilized community, after several medium-distance jumps, we arrived at the target area. This is an extremely bright space area, where super-massive interstellar matter—more than half of which can be used as stellar fuel—gathers together to produce
As a result of the intense nuclear reaction, the ultra-strong radio and optical radiation released can be observed tens of billions of light-years away. The detector shows that the diameter of this material cluster is 1.12 light-days. Of course, this is the average diameter:
Its appearance is not very "regular" and looks a bit like a wrinkled orange. It is a quasar. When viewed from a distance, its shape is a bit like a star, but it has super strong photothermal radiation and is too large.
Its size shows that it is definitely not the same thing as a star. At the same time, its relatively "loose" structure is also very different from a single planet in the ordinary sense. Because of the rich fuel, the reaction is violent. The absolute brightness and radiation intensity of this space wonder
It is thousands of times or more than that of ordinary galaxies - of course, it is far more than the dark nebula where the fleet was stationed before. We need to use perception methods other than vision to observe this planet, because its brightness is no longer
It is suitable to be presented to the naked eye in the form of images. Of course, this is not a problem for us. The world perceived by the mind is far richer and more colorful than everything seen by the naked eye. As for the other crew members on the aircraft carrier, those ordinary people from the civilized community
Race. They need to use various devices to filter the light of quasars. Although these races have been "promoted" by the empire, they are not strong enough to see the light of quasars directly with the naked eye.
Of course, it is impossible to withstand the radiation of this hot celestial body.
And outside the space occupied by quasars, in the area that stretches for 50 million light-years, there is only the vast dead space. There are no small-scale isolated star systems. There is no nebula material, and there is no leftover after the above-mentioned celestial bodies burn.
The ashes beneath. The quasar before us must have drained all the matter within its range when it was first formed, and then used its own radiation wind to blow away the remaining residue in a very short period of time. It swept out the
A clean courtyard has settled down peacefully in space.
This civilized community aircraft carrier has a flat, wide and short hull. At the bow of the spacecraft is a series of observation towers. We are now at the top of one of the observation towers. There is a rectangular hall here where people can look outside.
The space scenery. With the slight sound of mechanical friction, the alloy shield of the observation tower slowly fell. The light from the brightest celestial body in the universe rushed in through the seemingly fragile crystal wall of the observation tower without reservation, as if it was about to be burned.
Everything is like a heat wave, but the inner protective shield has filtered the quasar's heat and 99% of its luminosity, so the flames formed by sunlight are just an illusion.
The aircraft carrier and three barges are passing through the area of 60,000 kilometers above the quasar. For such a huge celestial body, 10,000 kilometers is equivalent to a close pass. The heat column from the surface of the celestial body below carries huge nuclear fuel fragments.
Going into space, one of the blazing fragments, about two kilometers long, flew past the observation tower. It looked like a burning continent falling into space under the influence of inverted gravity, which was spectacular.
"Hiding in a quasar is nothing to a civilization across the world," Xiaoxue's eyes glowed with white halo, and she was looking for those hiding in this light-sky shelter with great interest. "
"Guest", "Well, it seems that this is it. I saw... one, two... three, three spaceships with unified logos and dark red paint. I didn't find anything similar to weapons... at least nothing obvious.
Strongly armed. It does not look like a battleship. If it is not an exploration ship leaving the home world for the first time, it is separated from the armed guard."
"Ha, I really envy you and your mother's abilities," Bingtis said to Xiaoxue. She had entered the divine form and was now spreading her gorgeous wings, facing the light of the quasar, stretching her waist, and then in front of me
In the speechless sight, this female gangster who went her own way simply hung herself on the huge observation window, "Show your wings, show your wings, girls should take care of themselves..."
Then Ilson, Monina and Kensel followed suit. Four guys with a wingspan of three meters occupied half of the wall in an instant: they were basking in the quasar's light and heat.
Sun, these guys are really unprecedented. Among the five members of the God Clan, only Lin is sensible. This honest girl is standing behind me obediently, scratching her neck and coughing.
Oh, by the way. Before, Bingtis asked her to help open a hole in the enemy's flagship, so the girl chewed a hole in the interstellar alloy and came out. Now she is choked and has not yet recovered.
Coming?
At this moment, I noticed that the "horizon" outside the observation tower was rising, and the broadcast from the spacecraft's host computer came: "Positioning completed, mass coordinates confirmed... The ship began to sink, shields and various filters
The level is increased by 10%, and there may be slight shocks. All personnel should be prepared for regular impact prevention...the dividing line for contact with substance concentration."
A not too violent shaking came from under the feet. The aircraft carrier came into contact with the gaseous shell of the quasar and began to sink rapidly. The outer layer of a celestial body like a quasar is not solid but gaseous, so it does not have a truly distinct ""
"Shell", however, there is still a relatively obvious dividing line on its surface. The violent nuclear reaction and the super strong gravity of the quasar itself tug at each other. A boundary of extremely dense gas material is formed on the surface of the star, with violent cyclones and turbulent
The heat wave rotates rapidly on this boundary, resulting in a dynamic equilibrium, forming an "shell" that is not fixed. This shell is always changing, and occasionally it will expand outward by tens of thousands of kilometers or shrink inward by tens of thousands of kilometers.
The vibration that came from everyone's feet just now was caused by the aircraft carrier coming into contact with the cyclone on this dividing line. If it is a conventional civilization - then it is a spacecraft made by a civilization that has not mastered space anchoring technology and special shields.
This level is basically 100% about to disintegrate. However, the spaceship of the Civilized Community will only tremble a little when faced with this environment. Of course, if we drive an imperial starship over, I am afraid there will not even be a tremor: Hope
The space interrupter manufactured by Ling Technology can easily block this storm on the surface of the quasar without even consuming even one percent of the energy of the shield.
Looking out through the crystal window of the observation tower, nothing can be seen with the naked eye. The light far exceeding the imaging threshold fills all the surrounding space. Looking through it with the naked eye, you can only see the inside of the quasar.
It is an endless storm of light and heat. The eyes of ordinary creatures will be burned out in just a millisecond in this environment, and even we have a hard time "seeing" anything in this dazzling environment.
However, we can use our minds to see things, and within the scope of our mental scanning, we have not yet found those seeking help.
"They should have noticed us, but they didn't run away." Xiaoxue looked directly at the thermonuclear flames that stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers outside the observation window. Her eyes penetrated the endless ocean of light and heat and reached directly into the interior of the quasar.
Signal, just say we are here to rescue."
We have deciphered the request for help signal from the other party before, so we know the frequency and encoding method required to establish communication with the other party. Soon, a message expressing friendship and humanitarian assistance was sent, and a response was received almost instantly.
: It seems that the other party has been waiting for us to take the initiative to speak for a long time.
"They asked about the 'Chasers'," Xiaoxue knew the other party's response in advance before the report from the communication center came over. She raised her head and glanced at me, "They are those fallen apostles."
"Just say that he has been beaten away. Don't say anything else. It's too complicated to explain."
After some communication, the two parties reached initial trust. Of course, the seekers also asked how we found this place: because they did not send any information to the outside world after hiding in this quasar, but we still found it.
In this regard, Xiaoxue directly used the technological gap to fool them. The biggest advantage of two alien civilizations that have never been in contact with each other is that both sides can talk nonsense. Of course, the disadvantage is that neither side basically believes the other side's nonsense.
...It's not important, anyway, the other party now believes that we have no hostility.
"Attention, the force field barrier has been detected. The target will enter the scope of the traction field after thirty seconds... The probe has been launched, and the target can be observed after ten seconds... The target can be observed after five seconds... The probe signal has been transferred successfully
."
As the voice of the shipboard host fell, the observation hall dimmed, and the surrounding protective walls were closed again. A huge holographic projection appeared in the hall, and three spacecraft from a strange civilization appeared on the projection.
They are suspended quietly in the surging thermonuclear storm within the quasar, and their scale does not seem to be large: the long axes of the three ships are between two and three kilometers - well, for ordinary civilization, this is already
It's a big spaceship, but I've seen too many of those crazy giant battle fortresses made by the empire, and subconsciously thought that this ape ship is really small. The three ships have similar shapes, generally in the shape of a long trapezoid with a narrow front and a wide back.
Symmetrical hull, tough lines and three-color painting of black, white and red - an unfamiliar spaceship style.
None of the three ships seemed to be warships, which was the same as Xiaoxue said. Although they had what looked like weapons on their surfaces, based on their size and distribution, they should only be self-defense firepower.
I called the aircraft carrier command room: "Put over the channel and we can talk directly to the other party's commander."
There was a momentary interference noise from the communicator, and then the word "communication transfer successful" appeared on the status display window. We have established connections with the three third-party spacecraft of unknown origin.
"This is the supreme commander of the Xiling Empire, where are you from?"
"This is the supreme commander of the Fiyali Empire. Where are we?"
Two inquiries sounded from the communicator almost at the same time, one from me, and the other from a young female voice.
