In the Red Dragon mothership, Longtar looked at the void holographic projection outside the fleet. As expected, no light spots appeared, which made him feel relieved but also a little disappointed.
Has this dark matter life form, which forced the entire Blue Star civilization to flee, really been eliminated?
Thinking about this problem, Longtar ordered again, and the fleet fish penetrated the void filled with markers.
A hundred kilometers away, a meteorite detector is quietly working.
The battleships passed the marked area one by one, including Lontar's mothership.
Rontar in the mothership stared closely at the holographic projection. An alarm suddenly sounded. At the same time, everyone in the command hall noticed that when the last battleship in the fleet passed through that area, there was a position near the engine at the rear of the battleship.
A flashing bright spot appeared!
Longtar's brows suddenly frowned.
Obviously, there are still remnants of the dark matter life form, which has attached itself to a battleship at some point, and must be quietly absorbing the battleship's energy to restore its vitality.
However, this made Lonthal somewhat hesitant.
During this expedition, although the boss agreed to dispatch human soldiers, they still carried out moderate streamlining, reducing the number of personnel on each battleship to 4,000.
All the vacant parts are filled by intelligent robots.
Therefore, there are 4,000 soldiers in this battleship. If the dark matter lifeforms are destroyed by direct fire, these 4,000 people will die together.
But if you don't fire, if this dark matter life form recovers again and you want to destroy it, you don't know what kind of price you will have to pay.
"Order, ship No. 202005 stops advancing!"
Lontar didn't know if dark matter lifeforms attached to the battleship would understand the situation inside the battleship. He did not dare to directly tell the captain of the 202005 ship that the enemy was attached to the battleship.
If the dark matter life form wipes out everyone in the battleship and then jumps to another battleship, there will be trouble.
However, Lontar also issued orders to other warships to disperse. Several warships that were originally close to the 202005 ship quickly expanded the distance from only a hundred kilometers to more than two thousand kilometers.
While Lontar was still hesitating, the stopped ship No. 202005 suddenly disappeared without a trace!
At the moment it disappeared, a message had spread throughout the entire fleet.
"Our ship will perish together with the enemy!"
Looking at the empty void in the holographic projection, Longtar's eyes were filled with tears.
There is no doubt that the captain of battleship No. 202005 judged that the dark matter life form was on or near his battleship through the actions of the entire fleet and his own order to stop it.
He actually directly detonated the negative matter interstellar missile stored on the battleship.
The dark matter life forms obviously did not expect that such a thing would happen, that this race of intelligent creatures would sacrifice themselves.
Originally, its split body wanted to rely on the energy of the battleships to recover. After absorbing the energy of the battleships to a certain extent, another one would be used to absorb it. When it recovered to the point where it could cover the entire fleet in one fell swoop, that would be the time for it to turn over.
"Attention all fleets, release markers around your warships!"
Lonthal was worried that there were still remains of dark matter life forms, so he ordered each ship to release markers to the surroundings and continuously expand the detection range.
After three full days of inspection, Longtar finally confirmed that the dark matter life forms had been eliminated.
Then the fleet was ordered to regroup at the place where battleship No. 202005 self-destructed. The entire fleet bombarded it 21 times with particle beam main guns to pay tribute to the heroes who sacrificed themselves!
In the dark void, 2,000 particle beams of light streaked in the direction of the sun, 21 times in a row, like the soul of a hero returning to his hometown!
This scene was transmitted back to the grand fleet in real time. The entire fleet was waiting in the void 5 light-years away from the sun. All the battleships and spaceships sounded mournful music!
In the Tianjie-class spaceship, this scene was played on the display screens all over the city.
Many people stood and mourned for the heroes!
When the silence ended, Du Qiu's face appeared on the screen.
"Dear employees, families and citizens of Miraculous Technology, we have finally eliminated the enemy of dark matter life forms that endangered our civilization.
We have sacrificed 4,000 heroes for this, and their names will forever be engraved on the monument of human civilization!
We will always remember the heroes and martyrs who chose to sacrifice themselves for the sake of civilization when faced with life and death! They will be immortal!
We will set off to return to our home after further confirming the safety of the solar system. Please stick to your posts. Humanity's journey to conquer the universe has just begun!"
After a brief speech, Du Qiu gave an order to Longtar, and the entire fleet continued to search several places where the dark matter lifeform had been to ensure that this terrible enemy was truly eliminated.
The reason for being so cautious is that Du Qiu identifies dark matter life forms as seaweed-like creatures. Even if they are torn apart, each separated part can continue to survive and grow independently.
Du Qiu did not hope that when the entire Magic Technology fleet returned to the solar system, the surviving parts of this enemy would grow rapidly with the help of the energy brought back by the Magic Technology fleet.
At this time in the solar system, all the refined energy materials were taken away by fleets of magical technology, leaving only a small amount for some fortress bases.
Du Qiu believes that dark matter life forms cannot directly absorb solar energy. Otherwise, there are countless stars in the universe, and this monster would have become huge.
Judging from its counterattack against the robot fleet and later when it stepped into the trap, it is clear that its first priority is to seize the battleship energy of intelligent creatures.
It was once blown to pieces by an antimatter trap on Planet Nine, causing huge losses. Only tens of thousands of kilometers of its body of hundreds of millions of kilometers were left.
But at that time, due to the explosion of antimatter, all the markers became ineffective, making dark matter organisms invisible for a time.
At this time, it is unknown whether it has any backup plans.
Out of caution, Du Qiu asked Lontar to lead a fleet to carefully search the relevant areas and release markers near some energy areas.
Once a dark matter life form still has surviving branches and wants to obtain energy, it will inevitably be identified by markers.
This is similar to trapping animals in water sources. As long as you want to replenish energy, you will inevitably be recognized by the markers around the energy source.
And immediately afterwards, it will be attacked by negative matter interstellar missiles.
Under such circumstances, I believe that no matter how cunning the enemy is, they will not be able to escape being destroyed.
The solar system seems extremely quiet at the moment. Except for the place where the dark matter lifeforms were originally hidden in the asteroid belt, which appears to be very empty, other places are densely covered with meteorites.
Negative matter space mines are hidden in these meteorites, and markers have long been scattered throughout the asteroid belt, which was originally a trap area for intercepting dark matter life forms.
At the edge of the asteroid belt, a meteorite with a diameter of 20 kilometers suddenly broke away from the asteroid belt and flew towards the inner solar system.
Judging from its flight trajectory, it should eventually land on Mars.
However, its speed is only 10,000 kilometers per second, and it is still 0.6 astronomical units away from Mars at this time, which means it will land on Mars in 2.5 hours.
On Mars, after the miraculous technology and various countries evacuated, some of the energy in the Martian cities here still remained, allowing these fortress-like Martian cities to resist meteorite attacks.
As for the various defensive fortresses on Mars, of course they have sufficient energy. After all, they are also one of the lines of defense against dark matter life forms.
After receiving Du Qiu's order, Longthal divided the fleet into three parts, each led by a mothership, and rushed to the Kuiper Belt, the asteroid belt and Mars respectively.
With the negative matter interstellar missiles and negative matter space mines currently owned by the fleet, every capital ship can cope with the attacks from the remaining branches of dark matter life forms.
At worst, we can all die together.
This is the common thought of all officers and soldiers on each warship. These two weapons are also ready to self-destruct at any time.
Obviously, the previous battle with battleship No. 202005 aroused everyone's bloodshed.
