With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 348 Natural Disaster
In the azure blue holographic interface, the numbers representing the wormhole fluctuations are still increasing.

From the initial number of over a hundred to now, it has gradually approached the four-digit mark!

Each wormhole corresponds to a sub-base in the surrounding galaxy, and also corresponds to at least one standard fleet of [Purification].

In other words, as of now, nearly a thousand planetary fortresses and millions of conventional warships have gathered around the artificial star system.

As for the nanoworms...

That is an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate!!
These nanoworms swept across the starry sky, destroying and devouring all macroscopic matter - even an intact planet would only last for a few seconds if it fell into the black tide!
Under the remote control of [Su Zheng], the Su Zheng fleet, which had survived the first round of dark matter cannon fire, began to launch corresponding counterattacks.

Faced with the second round of dark matter cannon fire, the nanoworms that were originally scattered and charging into the interior of the star system quietly changed their strategy.

Under the gaze of Chen Fan and the others, the nanoworms, like a swarm of locusts, began to rapidly shrink their front lines.

Swish!
Under the transmission of the micro wormhole, a dark light suddenly appeared in the nanoworm camp.

The nanoworms, which had already shrunk their front lines, did not hesitate at all. The moment the activated dark matter flashing with faint light appeared, they swarmed over and wrapped it up layer by layer.

In just a moment, a number of spherical cages with dim light and hollow interiors suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

next moment.

A barrier with a dark glow rose up from the surface of these clumps of nanoworms!

boom! ! !
The activated dark matter exploded, and dazzling flames gushed out from the giant interior constructed by nanoworms.

but……

Unlike previous bursts of activated dark matter, this one did not trigger a chain reaction in the surrounding dark matter.

In other words, after being trapped in the cage constructed by nanoworms, the explosive power of the dark matter cannon was greatly weakened!
Looking at the black tide that was almost unaffected, Chen Fan couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"It's the dark matter deflector shield."

A soft synthetic female voice sounded over the team's internal communication channel: "I didn't expect these nanomachines to be able to release a combined shield."

At the same time, the warning of abnormal space-time fluctuations sounded again in the cockpit of the Varela - the warning target was still the wormhole behind the Suzheng Fleet.

Along with strong space-time fluctuations coming out of these small wormholes, massive stars and planets suddenly appeared out of thin air in the starry sky that was originally completely swallowed up by the nanoworms!

——These planets "rushed" all the way from distant galaxies to the front battlefield through wormholes!
"What are they going to do?"

Looking at the puzzling movements of the Suzheng Fleet in the holographic interface, Chen Fan's eyes were filled with confusion: "It took a lot of energy to transport stars and planets to the front battlefield..."

“Is it to replenish resources?”

"I don't think so." Red Stone rejected Chen Fan's guess. "Dark matter deflection shield is an advanced application of dark matter theory. The Suzheng Fleet should have mastered a fairly complete dark matter theory."

"Under normal circumstances, a civilization that has mastered the technology of extracting and applying dark matter has already initially gotten rid of resource constraints."

"The reason they can leave the Milky Way and travel freely throughout the universe is because dark matter is everywhere and fills the entire universe."

"In other words, the Rectification Fleet does not need such a low-level method to replenish the fleet's energy consumption."

At this point, a zigzag light flashed across Hongshi's body, and her voice paused: "I remember this is in the advanced textbook for Level II investigators. Don't you know this thing?"

"..."

Chen Fan raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose somewhat awkwardly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he actually felt a suffocating scrutiny from a stone!
"In fact..." Chen Fan replied in a low voice, "I have just finished studying the basic textbook for investigators..."

The light on the surface of Hongshi's body suddenly paused: "..."

Careless.

For a moment, she even forgot that Chen Fan was the fastest promoted investigator in the history of the Administration.

In just less than a year, he jumped from the lowest level of trainee investigator to level II investigator. Coupled with various investigation tasks, it is no wonder that he could not keep up with the progress of theoretical learning.

"...After this investigation is over, I will study advanced theories carefully."

Redstone ended the topic somewhat abruptly, and at the same time turned his attention to the stars and planets that appeared out of thin air!

【warn! 】

[High-intensity gravitational fluctuations detected! ]

Accompanied by the sudden sound of a shrill alarm, the Suzheng Planetary Fortress, which had been stationed in the rear, finally took action!

Under the gaze of Chen Fan and Hongshi, thousands of silver-white solemn planet fortresses have appeared near the scattered stars and planets.

The next moment.

The curve in the holographic interface that symbolizes gravitational fluctuations and space-time field fluctuations suddenly rises!
Under the traction of the Planetary Fortress of Rectification, massive stars and planets instantly disappeared in the visible universe - they entered a state of superluminal curvature navigation.

Chen Fan's heart moved, and the tachyon radar image suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the radar image, thousands of huge red dots are rushing towards the interior of the artificial star system!

No! That's not right!!
It’s not inside the star system, but… the black tide at the forefront of the Rectification Fleet!!

Chen Fan seemed to realize something and suddenly widened his eyes: "Black Tide!" "Those planets and stars are provided for the Black Tide and those nanoworms!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, under the traction of the Suzheng Planetary Fortress, thousands of stars and planets smashed into the black tide like raindrops as big as beans!

Wow! !
Just like a swarm of locusts that were startled, the black tide that had just "digested" the salvo of dark matter cannons instantly dispersed and swarmed towards the stars and planets!

In just a few seconds, the stars and planets disappeared in the overwhelming black tide!

During this process, the scale of the Kuroshio Tide expanded visibly!
Self-replication!!
……

Inside the Varela.

Chen Fan looked at the scene outside the porthole in horror - under the continuous bombardment of the investigator fleet, the size of the black tide not only did not decrease, but on the contrary, with the help of self-replication and the support fleet, in just a dozen minutes, the size of the black tide even doubled!
Not only that, under the precise control of [Su Zheng], Kuroshio is even constantly learning and evolving his fighting methods!
Up to now, except for high-power dark matter cannons, other low-power weapons have basically lost their effectiveness.

Even the powerful dark matter cannon, facing the combined dark matter deflection shield generated by the nanoworms, the ultimate killing effect began to be greatly reduced! !

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the black tide once again began to advance into the artificial star system.

"Damn..."

Seeing the balance of victory gradually tilting towards the [Suzheng] fleet, Chen Fan's face suddenly turned ugly.

He still underestimated the power of high-level artificial intelligence.

To be precise, the power of high-level artificial intelligence + nano-machine clusters was underestimated!
The self-learning and evolutionary capabilities of high-level artificial intelligence, coupled with the unlimited self-replication capabilities of nanomachines...

This is simply a natural disaster that is enough to sweep across the entire universe!!
Looking at the weak explosion of the dark matter cannon and the shrinking black tide encirclement, Chen Fan turned his head and looked at Hongshi: "Is there no way to break those dark matter deflector shields?"

"All shields have a load limit."

In response to Chen Fan's question, the red crystal surface spun rapidly: "As long as the attack exceeds the upper limit of the shield, it can break those dark matter deflection shields."

"but……"

"Investigator starships are not starships used for war after all."

"The firepower is simply not enough to penetrate the carrying capacity of these joint shields."

At this point, Hongshi's voice paused slightly.

She sighed softly: "Chen Fan, the difficulty of this war is far beyond my expectations."

"Request support from the fleet. This is not a battle that can be resolved by investigators."

Chen Fan shook his head stubbornly: "Wait a little longer!"

He looked silently at the stargate wormhole in the center of the artificial star system.

In the light of the surrounding accretion disk, the star gate wormhole was operating very stably - as long as he gave the order, the star gate would forcibly expand and open a large wormhole channel on the basis of this wormhole that was large enough to accommodate the arrival of the human fleet!

Of course, the consequence is that the structure of the cosmic membrane will be destroyed, and the cosmic membrane will suddenly collapse like a domino!
"it's useless."

After noticing Chen Fan's gaze, Hongshi continued, "All the investigators participating in the cross-universe deployment have entered the EL13697101 universe."

Facing Hongshi's words, Chen Fan shook his head again.

"hold on!"

Chen Fan looked at the glittering star gate wormhole with extremely serious eyes.

as if……

Waiting for a miracle.

"I don't understand."

Compared with Chen Fan, Hongshi, as a crystal life, is obviously much calmer: "Compared with the hidden dangers of the Suzheng Fleet, the dangers of the cosmic bubble collapse are acceptable."

"Even if this will affect subsequent investigations."

At this moment, the investigator fleet's range of activities has been compressed to the star field around the star gate wormhole.

One after another, the investigator starships hovered in the dazzling accretion disk, launching a minimal attack against the approaching black tide.

Every roar of the dark matter cannon would cause the black tide to briefly retreat half a step.

But in the intervals between attacks, the black tide will quickly fill the gap and even move forward a few steps!

"The current situation has completely exceeded our original expectations." The soft synthetic female voice became unusually sharp: "Unless a miracle happens, otherwise..."

Before Hongshi's voice fell, an urgent electronic synthesized voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit:
[Received a cross-universe communication request from the Dangerous Technology Administration! 】

[Correspondence note: Taking kickbacks.]

Looking at the communication interface that popped up automatically on the holographic panel, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on Chen Fan's tense face.

"Unless a miracle happens?"

"Then I will give you a miracle!!!"
