The holographic projection in front of me is constantly refreshing, and rows of incomprehensible data are scrolling crazily on it. It is a report analyzed by Bubble. It is said that if typed in size 4 boldface, it can circle the earth once and a half, so I decided not to read that kind of thing.
.
"This may seem a bit unbelievable, but if the Revenge Army really uses a very large shadow space to operate, this shadow space is very likely to be as big as the universe we live in."
Shandora also said a little stupefied. Obviously, even though it was her old subordinate, she felt a little incredible now.
"Is this possible?" I racked my brains to recall the information about shadow space. "The information in shadow space comes from the real world. As long as you have the patience to copy, you can theoretically copy the entire universe, but it would take such a huge combination of information to
It shouldn’t be possible to maintain synchronized coverage with the real world, right? I remember that it took a long time when the bubble expanded Shadow City, and I even slept for a whole day afterwards.”
"This may be the reason why the Revenge Army cannot return to the real world accurately." Sandora put her index finger on her chin and thought again. "The difficulty of building a shadow world and building a real world is incomparable. The latter is simple.
There are many, and the former is extremely difficult because it requires twisting a large number of laws. Even with the technology of the old empire, it is impossible to overlap the two worlds, one true and one false, tightly, while ensuring that they will not be annihilated due to mutual contradictions.
.
Ah Jun, you may not know much about it. In fact, the shadow space technology is what we learned from the gods. What it imitates is the world structure of the god world where many worlds are superimposed on the same place and are distinguished from each other by the conceptual layer. In other words,
The so-called shadow space is a secondary artificial god world. The difficulty of this kind of project can be imagined. Since the shadow space and the real space overlap each other, they must achieve basic equivalence in the amount of information to ensure that no overflow occurs.
The difficulty of this kind of control will increase geometrically as the shadow space expands. A shadow space covering the entire universe...is theoretically impossible to exist."
"But now hypothetically, it exists."
"So the Revenge Army cannot accurately return to the real world. Their shadow space is out of control, or there is some kind of break between them and the real world. This break prevents the two worlds from being annihilated due to the overflow of information, and also allows
The coordinate systems of the two worlds fell into complete chaos. They "floated directly up from the shadow space and became very unstable. As a result, they were randomly transported to any place."
As Sandora spoke, she pointed a few times in the air to construct a very vivid dot pattern.
This is a very simple schematic diagram, consisting of two parallel checkerboards. The two checkerboards are exactly the same. Of course, all the cross points on them correspond one to one. There are many thin lines connecting these cross points.
Above, since the two chessboards are parallel and in equal positions, these thin lines are all parallel lines.
"This is a normal shadow space topology map." Gedora clicked on a certain point on one of the checkerboards, and then it also lit up on the other checkerboard. "Their information coordinates are completely consistent, even if we
The space is transformed, making it appear to be a completely different city. It is as incompatible as K City as a human city and Shadow City as an empire base. Their spatial coordinates will not change. But when this chessboard
As Sandra said, she enlarged the simple diagram more than ten times. Suddenly, the whole room was divided into two chessboards, with me on this end and Sandra on the other.
"The operating system of Shadow City, which is responsible for completely matching the two chessboards, will be overloaded. This is because it is not only necessary to calculate the information of one world, but also to calculate two worlds at the same time and repair both worlds within a femtosecond.
Any loopholes or severe conflicts created during the integration will cause the information nodes in the shadow space to shift to varying degrees. Just like this."
The checkerboard representing the shadow space is on my side. It quickly distorts. Then it returns to the shape of a checkerboard, but this time, all its cross points have changed positions. The one that was originally connected between the two checkerboards has changed.
Countless parallel lines also turned into a mess. Looking at it, only Qian Qian could understand the corresponding relationship.
"It becomes extremely difficult to find information corresponding to the real world from the shadow space. Before you "levitate up" from a certain point to the real world, you have no idea where you will appear.
This should be the current situation of the Revenge Army."
"Trapped in a cage?" I raised my eyes and looked across the way. Sandora's face looked a little strange behind the flashing checkerboard.
"That's not entirely true. If they want to float directly from the shadow space to the real space, this will indeed be a chaotic cage, but the Xiling Empire also has a technology called cross-world teleportation.
They can ignore the correspondence between the shadow space and the real world, teleport directly from the shadow space to the outside of the world, and then "fall" from the outside of the world to the real world, so that they can determine their own teleportation coordinates. Of course, this first
The second type of transmission is a conventional method and can be easily scanned by our early warning agency."
Lou nodded, understanding the complexities.
If Shandora's guess is correct, the lucky probe's observations are correct, and Bubble's calculations are even more correct, this is basically a fact. And it is also the only fact that can explain many things clearly at present.
The reason why we still can't find the Revenge Army's lair is because their lair is not in any world at all, but right next to us. It's just that you can't see this side, and there is no corresponding secret.
*, No one can enter the shadow space. Even if you have the corresponding key, you may not know where you will be teleported after entering the shadow space. The situation of the Revenge Army is better, they have the key, but the map is also black...
…
"Speaking of which, why is it that there is no way to warn people when they "float up" directly from the shadow space to the real world?"
I thought about it and asked this question that I didn't understand at first.
Of course, if the principle is too complicated, I won't listen.
"Actually, this is very simple." Sandora smiled, and my heart suddenly sank: in the mouth of our incredibly knowledgeable Her Majesty the Queen, there are too many knowledge points that can be described with the word "very simple"
, these three words really have no comforting effect on me. "Arjun, you still remember, the shadow space and the information in the real world are isolated from each other. Although the former needs to copy information from the latter to form itself,
This copy process is under the supervision of the shadow space management system, and there is no way to break through it."
I nodded.
"So the shadow space and the real world are like separated by a thin film. When transmitting space in the real world, no matter how sophisticated the method is, you have to generate information in the real world. Even if it is transmitted across worlds, it will still be calibrated.
A trace amount of information is generated at any time, and when information is generated, an early warning can be given. But it is different from the shadow space. No one can detect your movements until you pass through that layer of information film.
Then Sandora gave me a model of a black ball: the real world is like the outer surface of the black ball. We move on this vast surface and can see everything happening around us, while the shadow space is the black ball.
Inside, you have no idea what is going on inside, and at this moment a needle pokes out of the black ball...
Before you get pricked and bleed, you will never know where the needle will appear from.
It is such a simple principle, but we have never thought of it. We thought that the Revenge Army had mastered some extremely advanced technology that could make all early warning methods fade away.
"Actually, it's not surprising that we didn't think of it." Sandora sighed. "Who would have guessed that they actually created a shadow space as big as the universe and locked themselves in it. Although they can use the method of cross-world teleportation,
The void serves as a springboard to leave that space, but because it requires a huge amount of energy, this kind of teleportation cannot be used casually, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the shadow space is a cage."
"Can you now confirm that it is really a shadow space?"
I checked again.
Shandora pointed to the holographic projection in the center of the room: "The probability is more than 99%. Look at these data."
"……………,I do not watch."
Sandora: "..."
"That's it anyway, what are your next plans? Directly attack the shadow space?"
"It would save trouble if possible." Sandora smiled bitterly. "The shadow space cannot be entered without a key, and now it is out of touch with the real world and there is no way to crack it. Unless the Revenge Army takes the initiative to lead us, otherwise
It's impossible to get in."
Doesn’t that mean there’s nothing we can do?
However, although there is no way to directly attack the enemy's nest, the discovery of the giant shadow space is still a huge breakthrough. In addition, it has just been confirmed that the revenge army currently against us does not have a will of its own but is just a group of bodies, which reduces a lot of psychological pressure.
Sandora's mood obviously improved greatly because of this. The direct manifestation was that after returning to the Misty Planet base that day, she once again became the foodie conqueror who swept across the kitchen and stared at the dining table, and seemed to be trying to overcome the lack of food in the past few days.
The resulting decrease in appetite seemed to pay for itself. Basically, except for the cooks, she tasted everything in the canteen...
The next morning, a special battle report was delivered to Sandora and I.
Located on the edge of the Milky Way, about 33,000 light-years away from the Mobrador star system, an Imperial outpost was "finally" attacked.
Why do I say it was finally used? Because it was originally designed by Sandora to attract the enemy's attention. We used ten Xiling hosts and a dozen leader bees to work day and night to build such a base that looked no different from a normal empire.
space fortress, and then withdrew the local garrison, leaving only a large number of mirror troops and floating turrets to guard the defense line. We have built more than a hundred similar space fortresses in the galaxy, distributed everywhere, and there are about ten of them.
One is real, they are working overtime to produce warships, and the rest are empty shells that scare people. The one that was attacked at the edge of the galaxy is one of the empty shells.
According to the information obtained yesterday, when the Revenge Army enters the main material plane, they need to use the relics they left in this universe as fuzzy coordinates to guide the transmission. The basis for our establishment of the space fortress is such relics of the old empire, so
It can be regarded as an accident. These brand-new military bases are as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky. The probability of being attacked by a sudden attack is increased by more than 10%. When the attacked space fortress begins to operate and symbolically produces
Not long after the fleet, a small-scale Revenge Army patrol suddenly appeared within its warning range.
Since the battle fortress is stationed with a large number of mirror fleets and sentry guns, this small-scale patrol was blown to pieces almost as soon as it landed. However, according to the intelligence recorded by the prepared probe, the opponent was indeed destroyed before it was destroyed.
A very strong signal was emitted on the spot. If I guessed correctly, this signal was marking the coordinates of the plastic room.
The enemy patrol obviously did not have time to distinguish the authenticity of the battle fortress. They sent a fatal signal for help to their own large forces.
So now I have two choices before me: send a large army to set up an ambush in the area, or throw a bunch of space bombs to blow up the road signs there?
Shandora and I summed it up and felt that this was a very good opportunity for an ambush. The Revenge Army's elusive teleportation method created a stumbling block for them this time. It would be a waste if we didn't seize the opportunity to trap them.
As for how many troops to send there, of course we have to consider it. We can't just swarm the entire battlefield just for one battlefield and leave the Misty Star alone.
Shandora analyzed the military power displayed by the edge fortress and calculated that the number of fleets attacked by the Revenge Army's first wave would not exceed two hundred motherships. As for the escort formation, it was proportional to the mothership. Considering that our side
It was an ambush, and the troops were more valuable than more, so she decided to send a group of troops with strong combat effectiveness to fight quickly.
As everyone guessed, Pandora and Viska jumped out immediately.
These two little girls have not been very active in the past few days. In fact, they have not been seen in front of me for several days. The reason is that they are still unable to launch a frontal war even though they know that the enemy exists. This makes them very depressed, and
This time I heard that there was going to be a war, and both my two-meter-long noses had bubbles coming out. Let's put it this way, Shandora and I had just read the battle report, and Pandora over there had already led her sister to prepare to board the ship...
At the star port in the synchronous orbit of the Misty Star, Shandora and I personally sent these two war lunatics off to the expedition. Because the two of us had to stay at the base to take care of other work, we couldn't watch them all the way. This made me a little worried.
, but the Pandora sisters are full of confidence and their mood is always very high. The simple-minded guy is really happy. The method to make Pandora and the others happy is always so simple and clear. Of course, the premise is that you can accept the stimulating life of personal conquests every now and then.
"Remember, you didn't go there just to fight."
While Pandora was watching her soldiers boarding the ship and arranging her guns, I couldn't help but put my big hands on the heads of the two little girls again, and rubbed their hair vigorously to make them concentrate. "The coordinates are already there."
Here you go, you must seize the moment when the enemy teleports. This is your mission, you know?"
Pandora and Visca came up and nodded, but their eyes were wandering, and they were obviously immersed in that wonderful world filled with wars and gunfire~
I thought for a while, then looked up and looked behind the two little guys. There was a row of commanders standing there, the most eye-catching one was an old man wearing a black suit, tie and sunglasses with a serious expression.
It's rare that he didn't carry a bag this time, but I know that's because he was afraid of breaking his treasure and putting it in the carry-on space...
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Uncle Hei Chao gave a military salute. His iron-blooded soldier's demeanor reminded me of the upright senior officer who had just appeared in front of me three years ago, so I decided not to hold him accountable for teaching Reimu palmistry.
It's something.
Looking at the murderous imperial officer standing in front of me and the two sisters who were competing to see whose gun was bigger, I finally nodded and said to Sandora.
A self-deprecating smile.
What a waste of worry. Dinosaurs were still alive on the earth when these guys were driving war machines to crush all sentient beings. I was so used to seeing them go around that I almost forgot what a bunch of crushing machines these guys were once they got on the battlefield.
As long as Pandora and Visca's over-burning brains don't mess up, this group of soldiers can complete any combat mission without missing a beat.
So I felt at ease, and took two steps back like an ancient king sending his soldiers off to battle. I waited with a smile to see my thousands of troops roaring out of the pass. I added a two-meter-long barrier for myself in my mind.
The red cloak was flying, and I felt that I couldn't help myself at this moment. I couldn't help myself. For two full minutes, Pandora and Visca were still clicking their guns. The only change was that Cicaro had already led
His own soldiers boarded the ship.
I quickly threw away the cloak in my mind and became surprised: "Ahem, when are you leaving?"
Viska blinked: "The spacecraft is being prepared, it will take more than an hour."
Then you two called me over early! Just so you can play with those weapons more in front of your brother, right?
An hour later, the last transport ship carrying soldiers left the starport surrounded by a blue halo and went to join the waiting mothership formation in outer orbit. There were mountains of blue bright spots in the dark space.
He said it and then disappeared immediately. That was the fleet being transferred in batches.
"Hopefully Tavel's temporary improvements to the probe will work."
Sandora said something leisurely.
Pandora and Viska went to the Milky Way border this time. The direct mission was of course to set up an ambush circle there to prepare to ambush the enemy and verify Sandora and I’s conjectures. The second mission was to stare at the space coordinates there.
The moment the Revenge Army jumped out, it threw a new type of probe made by Tavel.
If it goes well, this probe may be able to bypass the "firewall" system of the shadow space and enter the world where the Revenge Army lives.
This is the only way Sandora and I can think of to detect the enemy's lair under the current circumstances.
