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

Chapter 353 Fire Coverage
EL13697101 Universe, the Great Central Void.

The huge black hole slowly rotates in the dim starry sky, swallowing up the starlight from the distant starry sky.

The surface of the mechanical planet flickered with blue and red light. As tachyon information was rapidly transmitted to the surroundings, the lifeless and desolate starry sky became more and more chaotic.

Strong or weak space-time fluctuations flashed across the starry sky, and the light produced by the wormhole continued to shine.

"Damn it!"

On the mechanical planet, [Su Zheng] let out a low roar.

What numerical advantage...

In front of the supporting planetary fortress, it was a complete joke.

With only one battleship, the enemy wiped out all the vanguard troops it sent out in just a few dozen minutes. Even the supporting wormholes collapsed under the enemy's inexplicable attack!

The opponent's attack methods revealed an inexplicable evil nature!
This undoubtedly proves one thing - the enemy's strength far exceeds its expectations!
The frequency of the flashing of the blue-red light became faster and faster, and the uneasiness in [Su Zheng]'s heart became more and more intense.

Waves of electromagnetic waves with implicit patterns roared around the mechanical planet, merging into a few short words:

"Stranger...Stranger..."

This strange method of attack is exactly the same as that used by the stranger back then!
but……

In the end, it won the war!
Recalling the details of the great battle, [Su Zheng] began to change his battle plan.

The tachyon signals transmitted in the starry sky quietly changed, and the movement trajectories of the starships in the void also changed.

They no longer provided support to the area surrounding the cavity, but instead changed direction and drilled deeper into the cavity.

The mechanical planet spun slowly, and at the same time it cast its gaze into the depths of the cavity.

——There, weapons specially prepared for "foreigners" are stored.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar space-time fluctuation suddenly appeared in the edge area of ​​the void, and a strong early warning signal also sounded inside the [Suzheng] fleet.

"So fast?!"

Looking at the increasingly strong fluctuations in the space-time field, [Su Zheng] couldn't help but let out a cry of horror: "Why do they know my coordinates?!"

It never expected that after dealing with the vanguard it sent out, the enemy would actually rush into its "nest" with a clear goal!
just like……

Just like installing a positioning system!
After a brief thought, [Su Zheng]'s gaze rested on a slowly disappearing wormhole.

It's a wormhole! It's the wormhole that exposed its coordinates!!
"Damn it!"

It roared again.

The deployment and activation of the "secret weapon" would take quite a while, so [Su Zheng] once again revised the combat order that had just been issued:

"Stop them at all costs!!"

……

The strong space-time fluctuations gradually stabilized, and a huge wormhole suddenly appeared at the edge of the central hole.

At the moment the wormhole was formed, a yellowish-brown planet jumped out of it.

Behind this planet, thousands of standard starships with similar shapes also emerged from the wormhole.

In the cockpit of [Varilla].

Chen Fan sat in the main driver's seat, squinting his eyes and looking at the starry sky outside the porthole.

Completely different from the starry sky we usually see, the universe before us is extremely dim - the nearest galaxies are hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of light years away.

Within the range of the naked eye, almost no macroscopic matter can be seen.

This is the macroscopic void in the universe, and it is also an absolute forbidden zone for life and civilization!

"How big is this hole?"

Chen Fan subconsciously asked Yi.

【Diameter: 110 billion light years. 】

An electronic synthesized voice quickly sounded, answering Chen Fan's question.

"Hiss..." Chen Fan took a deep breath, "Does that mean we have to look for a fleet within an area spanning 110 billion light years?"

"No, to be precise, we are looking for a mechanical planet?!"

【In theory, that's right.】

Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on his forehead: "Isn't this more outrageous than looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Having said that, Chen Fan still gave orders to the Yihe shipborne mainframe.

"One, prepare to release the autonomous detector..."

Before he could finish his words, Hongshi's voice sounded quietly, interrupting him: "Chen Fan, there is something wrong with this hole."

"……what?"

Chen Fan was slightly stunned and cast a confused look at the red crystal in the communication interface.

"In this void... the number and density of black holes are somewhat excessive."

Hongshi's voice was a little hesitant: "Feeling..."

"It's like someone deliberately moved the black hole into this macroscopic void."

"Moving a black hole?" Chen Fan was a little surprised, and the tradition of the Human Union subconsciously emerged in his mind, "Black hole battery?"

Hongshi hesitated for a moment: "Maybe..."

"Although black hole battery technology is somewhat difficult, theoretically, it is within the capabilities of a level eight civilization."

Hearing what Hongshi said, Chen Fan felt relieved. He once again turned his attention to the autonomous detection equipment - these ship-borne detectors can rely on micro wormholes to quickly travel through the starry sky, thus completing large-scale detection tasks.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, one shuttle-shaped probe after another came out from the slowly opened belly hatch of the Varela, then drilled straight into a series of miniature wormholes and completely disappeared into the visible universe.

“Drip! Drop! Drop!!”

As soon as the shuttle-shaped detector disappeared, a familiar warning tone sounded in the cockpit.

At the same time, several red cursors popped up one after another on the holographic star map above the main console.

"what?"

Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Hongshi, our luck seems to be good."

"We just sent out the probe and found the [Suzheng] fleet..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly widened and his voice gradually became deeper - in the holographic star map in front of him, the number of red cursors was rapidly increasing at an alarming rate!
Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

Dense red cursors almost filled the entire hole. At the same time, these red cursors were rushing towards Chen Fan's coordinates at an extremely high speed!

"Fan, Brother Fan..."

Gao Yuan beside him swallowed hard and said, "I think these [Suzheng] fleets were not found by us..."

Chen Fan: "..."

Nonsense! It was obvious that the other party took the initiative to find them!

Running in both directions, it belongs to yes!

"Enemy attack!!"

Chen Fan's expression became serious. He quickly turned on the weapon system of the Varela and issued a combat order on the team's communication channel: "Everyone! Prepare for battle!!"

As soon as the words fell, the tachyon radar sounded a sharp alarm!

Warp missile!

Unlike conventional curvature missiles, these missiles use a large number of micro wormholes to quickly enter the battlefield! !
"Gaia!"

Looking at the suddenly rising peaks in the tachyon radar, Chen Fan's pupils slightly dilated and he let out a low roar: "Stop them!!"

……

The technological content of the curvature missile is not very high.

Normally, any civilization that has mastered curvature navigation can begin to manufacture this basic weapon.

but……

When the number of basic weapons reaches a certain level, it can also exert sufficiently powerful power!
If you are poor, you will strike with precision, if you are rich, you will have firepower!
For [Su Zheng], which has mined countless galaxies, there is absolutely no concept of shortage of supplies!

What's more, the curvature missiles of the [Su Zheng] fleet are even equipped with a micro wormhole jump function!
In a sense, it should be called a wormhole missile!
Endless curvature missiles poured out from the seemingly calm starry sky, rushing towards the planetary fortress and the investigator fleet behind from all angles - in order to avoid affecting the wormhole jump process, these curvature missiles left the wormhole early and rushed towards the fleet at a relatively primitive curvature cruise.

The moment the interception order was issued, the khaki planetary fortress suddenly disappeared into the visible universe!
When it appeared again, it was already standing alone in front of the investigator fleet!
Didi yo yo ~
In the dim starry sky, the planetary fortress slowly rotated.

hum! ! !
An extremely powerful space-time fluctuation spread out in all directions with the planetary fortress as its origin.

Military-grade time and space trap!

In just a moment, a series of tiny flames burst out in the dim starry sky, and one after another strangely shaped missiles fell out of the curvature state and were exposed in the visible universe.

at the same time.

Waves of dark matter main guns and space rifts flashed across every investigator starship. Under the precise control of the onboard master brain, each attack was accurately fired at the curvature missiles that had lost their ability to navigate.

boom! !

The faint light of the dark matter explosion lit up one after another in the starry sky, and the dense curvature missiles quietly disappeared among the flames of the explosion.

but……

Strictly speaking, this almost endless salvo of curvature missiles was just a greeting from the [Suzheng] fleet.

With this batch of curvature missiles being successfully intercepted, the real [Suzheng] fleet finally showed up.

As before, these fleets also follow the standard three-pronged approach - Black Tide, conventional starships, and planetary fortresses.

only……

Today's [Su Zheng] fleet is much larger!

Along with the waves rising in the ocean of time and space, a fleet comparable to the size of a large galaxy cluster attacked the investigator fleet - if the Suzheng Planetary Fortress is a star, then the conventional starships are the planets in the star cluster, and as for the black tide... they are those small celestial bodies of varying sizes and difficult to count!

Before Chen Fan gave any order, Gaia had already taken the lead in attacking the opponent!
High-dimensional dark matter cannons and high-dimensional shocks were fired alternately, like a sickle, wantonly reaping the lives of the Rectification Fleet.

Chen Fan led the investigator starship to follow Gaia, providing long-range firepower support while also serving as a frigate - just like the combination of conventional warships and planetary fortresses in the Suzheng Fleet.

Inside the Varela, facing such a chaotic battle situation, Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

"No... there's something wrong with this battle!"

The ant colony tactics that rely on numerical advantage are simply unable to fight against Gaia, which has been verified in previous small-scale wars.

As a high-level artificial intelligence, [Su Zheng] could not be unaware of this, and it is even more impossible for it to waste its own manpower on meaningless resistance for no reason!
Not to mention [Su Zheng], even [Yuan] would not do such a stupid thing!

unless……

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of the anomaly that Hongshi had mentioned earlier - there were a large number of black holes in the macroscopic void!

A thought suddenly arose in Chen Fan's mind:
Is it...

[Su Zheng] Are you stalling for time?
