Just like every civilization with cross-world combat capabilities, the Fallen Apostles have deployed a large number of defense systems in each of their border worlds. In addition to interference stations and disruptors floating in the void, these defense systems are
"Pass Lock" facility integrated with the world barrier.
We all know the process of "jumping" into a world in the void. If the world is regarded as a database encapsulated in a specific encoding method, then the void fleet is a set of additional data with a special encoding method and response frequency.
This additional data must be tuned and translated, changing its "frequency" to contact the world, changing its "encoding" to achieve mutual interpretation with the world, and then it can enter a physical universe.
The defense devices set up on the world barrier usually start from this aspect: they hide the true "frequency" of the world barrier, release constantly turbulent and chaotic information, change the various law constants displayed in this universe, and use deception, encryption, and twisting.
And refuse to respond and other methods to prevent foreign objects from entering the world. The battle for the imperial fleet on the world barrier of the fallen apostle is more like a decoding battle competing for calculation speed and scanning accuracy. There is no gunfire, no army to cover up, and it is thrilling.
The battle for the battle is hidden in the battle at the data level. As the most powerful host among the army, Pao Pao personally participated in this battle. She mounted herself on the shipboard host of the Imperial Admiral. As a super
The high-speed calculator worked hard for nearly half an hour, and finally successfully broke through the "firewall" set by the enemy on the world barrier. When the world barrier was breached, she said something that made me particularly touched:
"The child's father, this world is *less* now..."
Do you know how much I wanted to rush into the computer room, pull out the little guy, hang him up and beat him!
Although the process of breaking through the world barrier is indeed decoding, although after cracking those jammers, the world is indeed equivalent to losing the password, although... no matter what, can't that girl use a more normal expression?
"Sixth, the Seventh Fleet has entered the material plane. There are indeed many space mines there, but most of them have been successfully cleared. The minefields only caused slight damage to the fleet," Sivis maintained direct mental communication with the frontline troops.
Commander Storm's powerful battlefield data analysis capabilities allow her to scan and monitor the entire war zone by herself. "The enemy has set up layers of defense there. Their sovereign hub for controlling the universe is properly protected. We must find a way to remove that thing."
Destroy it, otherwise the control of this world will always be in their hands."
Sandora glanced at the tactical analyzer and said in a quiet voice: "The Fourth Fleet, deploy disruptors and interference devices on the world barrier. The First Fleet, stay outside temporarily to prevent the enemy from counterattack. The Royal Fleet is preparing to sink.
'."
Sivis was immediately surprised: "Your Majesty, the war zone in the material world has not been completely suppressed."
"So we went down to suppress it," Sandora shrugged. "The royal fleet is not here to watch the show. Prepare to 'sink'."
The female adjutant no longer had any objections. The royal fleet's void engine started up again and began to modify its information characteristics to get closer to the material universe ruled by the fallen apostles. Bubble began to report the progress of the "sinking": "Attention, this ship is about to make contact.
The world barrier offsets the target information by 15%...10%...5%...The rules have been rewritten, and it has descended into the material universe. Space turmoil has been detected, and all personnel are prepared to resist the impact.
…”
Before the sound of the broadcast ended, a violent shock spread in the command hall. In an instant, the earth shook and the earth was turned upside down. Qian Qian, who was dozing on the seat, rolled to my feet on the spot.
Qian Qian pulled her up and continued to broadcast while listening to Bubble's voice: "No need to prepare, I seem to be late."
Me: "...It's okay for you to assume the position of the ship-based host, but can you properly return the broadcasting rights to the system?"
Bubble's voice was serious: "This is to improve compatibility and system stability - switching to an external monitor is in progress."
The giant holographic projection in the command hall immediately changed the screen, from the complex charts and abstract diagrams in the previous void navigation state to an intuitive view of the space where the fleet is located. More than ten intuitive views show us the appearance of the universe:
The space is dim, with almost no stars twinkling, and no bright clouds or other eye-catching celestial structures. The entire universe is shrouded in a very, very dim yellowish background, monotonous and desolate.
"The rules of this world are not so 'friendly'. The stability of matter is poor. Almost all gravity has escaped to other dimensions. It is difficult for large celestial bodies to gather together. The number of matter clusters in space is so rare that it is pitiful. Basic particles are distributed in discrete states throughout the entire world.
"The universe," Shandora quickly looked at the scan report in front of her, "the background tone in space is the 'color' of this world. It is like a uniform and loose dough with almost no structure. A chaotic world lacking celestial bodies.
...Can't give birth to life, and there will be no evolution from birth to death. It is a 'sick fetus' in the world. It is generally rare, but it seems to be the norm in the abyss."
"Only the 'sick' universe that lacks evolutionary power can survive long enough in the abyss," I nodded. "The normal world has a complicated structure and has long been killed by the pollution of the abyss. In this damn place, things with simple structures cannot
Only then can we survive.”
At this time, a violent flash of light suddenly appeared on the external surveillance view, interrupting my conversation with Sandora: it was an attack by the fallen apostle.
We are still on the battlefield. This is not a good place to lament the law of "people are stupid and live longer" in the abyss. Sandora immediately connected the small holographic device in front of her to the battleship's tactical analysis switchboard, and quickly ordered: "All mothers
Ship-level units begin to counterattack. Seventh Fleet, conserve your strength and leave your halo of light to the enemy's motherships."
I looked at the picture sent back by the external monitor, and of course there was no enemy within sight: the nearest enemy fleet was located twelve light years away, and the two sides were now sending firepower to each other through the hyperspace system. The artillery fire outside was currently very fierce.
It is not obvious that the Imperial Fleet is in the most heavily protected central area, but the artillery fire at the edge of the joint shield has been so dense that it can be described as a heavy rain. The space on one side of the Imperial Fleet has opened up a large space of cracks, like corrugated glass.
The same twisted hyperspace firepower points were arranged in a matrix only a few kilometers away from the joint shield. The long axis exceeded tens of thousands of kilometers. A torrent of psionic energy poured out from it like a violent storm and splashed on the joint shield of the fleet.
There were fierce ripples.
Obviously, that area was "focused on" by the fallen apostles.
Fortunately, with Xiaoxue's advance instructions, we placed a large number of fortress ships in the areas most severely attacked, and the Seventh Fleet's "Throne of Judgment" also greatly strengthened the flank defenses. Most of the Seventh Fleet's ships were still
The antiques from the old empire era were the old heritage that was taken back from the Merova people. Not only were they long ago, they were also messily modified by those reckless Merova engineers. Thanks to Alleria, she worked overtime to repair them.
Spaceships, coupled with the durability of the imperial equipment itself, these old antiques still maintain the combat effectiveness of the past. A large group of spaceships from the previous era, coupled with a small number of new warships that have only recently been trial-produced, the seventh ship that has just resumed its establishment
This is the first time that the fleet has undergone actual combat testing in high-intensity warfare. So far, the performance of this fleet is not bad: the Throne of Judgment withstood the most dangerous main gun firepower on the flanks, and these strange tilted cubes did not use their own
They are not very powerful weapon systems, but focus on enhancing defense. They constantly flexibly switch their shell modes: total absorption-total reflection. Each cycle means that another enemy ship is severely damaged by their own firepower.
Those magnificent and dangerous glowing rings temporarily retain their strength in the inner area of the combined fleet. They are attack warships similar to aircraft carrier killers. They have the ability to kill unshielded targets with one strike. This ability is
It is of no use when the opponent has a shield, but when the warring parties reach the later stage and the shields are almost exhausted, the Glow Circle will exert its terrifying power - this is a battleship with considerable late-stage advantages.
, so they are all waiting quietly under Sandora's order.
The spy probe has arrived at the end of the universe in a short period of time. Except for some interference areas, the scanned picture of this world has been clearly presented in front of us. At the same time, the general distribution of the fallen apostles is also presented, according to the spy probe.
According to the intelligence, the enemies in this world have about the size of three reorganized legions - surprisingly few, almost only half the number of emperors. It is hard to believe that they are all the garrisons set up here by the fallen apostles. This has always made
We are all at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and we all feel that happiness comes too suddenly. I know that a large part of the reason for this is that the Protoss has restrained the enemy's military strength on the other side of the front, and the other part of the reason is due to the fall in the past few days.
There was internal turmoil among the apostles, but the rest...is there really no other reason?
The result was probably that fate couldn't bear to see our smooth sailing. Just when I was thinking about how I could quickly take over this universe with my numerical advantage, the early warning radar suddenly started to alarm: "Warning, a high-level information source has been detected pointing to the direction of the universe."
The current universe...confirms that enemy troops are about to arrive, but the number is unknown."
Sure enough, things like bottom strength are like forehead wrinkles. If you squeeze hard, you will still get it. Even if the Gods contain most of the fallen apostles' military strength, they can still squeeze out the fleet to counterattack the emperor's army on this front.
.
At the same time as the early warning radar sounded the alarm, the Fourth Fleet, which was deploying various interferences on the world barrier, also reported: "Your Majesty! The enemy's reinforcements are jumping towards this world! They have used the World Gate, and the effect of the void disruptor is limited.
!”
The "sovereignty" of this universe is still in the hands of the fallen apostles, which means that the enemy can directly send troops to this universe through the world gate. The void disruptor is used to prevent the "void → world" from jumping, and the world
The gate is a transmission from "world to world". Although the interrupter also has an interference effect on this transmission, its effect will be greatly reduced.
But since we have not been able to destroy the sovereign hub of this world, the "world → world" transmission of the fallen apostles will not stop. All the Fourth Fleet can do is continue to deploy the void disruptor: although it cannot completely prevent the world from
The door at least has an interference effect, right?
"As long as it works," I replied quickly, "keep busy with your work, and delay it for as long as you can - leave the sovereignty hub matter to us."
"We need to find a way to establish a stable stronghold," I looked up at Sandora, "so that we can pull our celestial system fleet over. In addition, we must cut off the fallen apostles' control of the world, otherwise they can still come from within.
Lu squeezed out his troops and sent them here."
Sandora nodded: "Well, the second point is more important. We must first find a way to get rid of their sovereignty hub. As long as it is leveled, the fallen apostles' sovereignty over this universe will be over."
Bubble's voice resounded through the command hall through the shipboard broadcast: "The sovereign hub of this universe is located 12,000 light-years away. It is a tightly defended artificial galaxy. Seventy percent of the enemy's fleet is gathered there, but we
If we have numerical advantage, we can consider attacking by force."
Sandora nodded: "Then attack by force... The sovereignty hub itself also has combat effectiveness. It may be difficult to attack by force, but it is better than letting the enemy's reinforcements rush in continuously."
The combined fleet immediately locked the direction of the sovereign hub and began to attack the twelve thousand light-year distance.
The so-called "sovereign hub" is actually not a new thing, but we rarely need to mention this concept before. A sovereign hub is not a single facility, nor is it a building as it sounds, it is a system.
A large-scale, permanent device, a system used to ensure control of the entire universe.
We have talked before about how to determine the management rights of a universe: absolute traffic control, sworn obedience to all civilized civilizations around the world, military mobilization rights, etc. The Sovereignty Hub is what is used to ensure these powers.
First of all, the sovereignty hub includes a frequency modulation center that encrypts the world barrier, which is used to control the void disruptors on and near the world barrier to control access to the entire world. However, as the world barrier is breached, this part of the fallen apostle's sovereignty
The component has failed; secondly, the sovereignty hub also includes a "broadcast" system, which will broadcast cyclically in the cosmic background radiation and all high-energy frequency bands, declaring the sovereign owner's dominance over the universe. If other civilizations in the universe develop to a certain extent,
will receive these broadcasts, and they must obey the rules set by the sovereign owners. However, I don't know if there are "domestic people" in the territory of the fallen apostles. I guess there are no other races alive in the world of the abyss except the fallen apostles themselves.
In addition, there is no livable environment in this universe, so the sovereign hub here must not have a "broadcasting" system; finally, the sovereign hub usually also includes transmission channels such as world gates. These channels are crucial and can ensure that the sovereign party can
Direct rule of the world: sending troops, managers going back and forth, and mobilizing supplies. It is naturally much more convenient to complete these things through the world gate than to sail in the void.
Generally speaking, sovereign hubs have these three functions. In addition, of course they also have strong defensive capabilities. There will be military bases around them. They are also equivalent to a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every world in the empire has one.
The most understandable example of such a sovereign hub is: the sovereign hub of shadow space is the union of Shadow City and the mother planet Gaia. This union can control the passage of the capital world, broadcast the empire's declaration, open the door to the world, and
Filled with Imperial soldiers - as long as this union exists, the management of Shadow City will always be in the hands of the Empire.
The border world of the Fallen Apostle also has a sovereign hub, and now it is constantly trying to repair the world barrier that has been breached, and sending a steady stream of reinforcements over. If that thing is not destroyed, the next battle will become extremely disadvantageous.
In a war of attrition, the Emperor's surprise advantage is gone.
We have also attacked the border world of the fallen apostles before, but the sovereign hubs we encountered at that time were not as difficult to deal with now: the enemy knew that the situation at hand was critical, with the army of gods pressing down on the border on one side, and the emperor attacking fiercely on the other. Once this happened
The border world is broken, and it will be difficult for them to close this loophole in time. The emperor will flow into the abyss through this gap, and the next step will be unstoppable - so the enemy has concentrated all the fleets that can be used near the sovereignty hub.
This small artificial galaxy is surrounded by water.
The Sovereign Hub is more than 10,000 light-years away from our "landing" point. The imperial fleet successfully skipped most of the distance through hyperspace jump. Although it encountered the enemy's gravity trap and coordinate misdirection interception on the way, there was no way.
The snow was there, and these traps were safely bypassed. In the end, we had to stop when we were still 1.27 million kilometers away from the sovereign hub: the enemy occupied the 1.27 million kilometers of space around the sovereign hub.
The whole thing has been replaced, and the spatial coordinates here are all wrong signals. If the jump engine jumps with the sovereignty hub as the target, it may be thrown to the border of the universe.
"Damn it... I'm almost going to have trypophobia just looking at the radar chart..." Bingtis looked at the holographic projection in front of her and cursed, "They surrounded this place like a ball of yarn."
"That's the Sovereignty Hub," Sandora pointed at the holographic projection. "The Gate of the World should be hidden by its force field, but it can be scanned that there is a crack across the void opening nearby. The enemy must be trying to pass through.
Wait for time, they will definitely have a lot of reinforcements this time."
I looked at the position indicated by Sandora, kept zooming in and out, and finally saw a dim binary star system.
They are two black and red man-made celestial bodies, almost identical in size and appearance. Each of them is equivalent to twice the size of the Earth. Their surface is covered with red veins like blood vessels. Due to strong interference and limited scanning accuracy, it is impossible to determine which
There are some things on both planets, but it is certain that the management center of this universe is all concentrated there, including the controller of the World Gate.
As long as this binary star system is destroyed, the reinforcements of the fallen apostles will be cut off, and the celestial system fleet can safely deploy in this world.
But before that, we must first get rid of the astonishing number of space fortresses around Gemini, as well as the defense forces that can make Bingtis suffer from trypophobia.rs
