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

Chapter 380 Surround it first

More than ten minutes ago.

EL001 Human Union Main Universe, Dangerous Technology Management Bureau.

"Drip-drip-drip-"

A sharp alarm suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of Area A, the core area of ​​the Administration.

Bang!
Accompanied by the dull sound of the door opening, Moore, who had just returned to the office and had not even warmed up his chair, rushed out of the open office door with a gloomy look on his face.

"Zero, what's going on?"

Moore hurried to the emergency affairs handling hall of the Administration Bureau, and turned to ask Ling who was floating beside him: "Why did the signal of Academician Wang Jing's TE1571 research vessel disappear?"

"What about the information interference attack mentioned in the research ship's fault reporting system?"

The incident happened suddenly, and Moore's usually calm tone became hurried: "Could it be... that the radio civilization really took action?"

Zero, who was constructed by holographic projection, flew quickly through the spacious corridor. He followed Moore's footsteps closely and stretched out his hand to call up a holographic interface in front of Moore.

In the interface, a vast forest is clearly presented, and above the forest, ghost starships emitting faint light are hanging silently.

"This……"

Moore's eyes widened slightly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this picture.

"This is the last image sent back by the TE1571 research vessel."

Ling quickly explained: "According to the investigation of Academician Wang Jing, the phantoms that appeared on Varela were formed based on information interference technology. At the same time, these phantoms have the same undetectable characteristics as the ghost fleet."

"Based on the changes in information entropy fluctuations, Academician Wang Jing determined that this forest was the source of information interference."

"So, in order to investigate and collect data on information interference and to solve the phantom problem, Academician Wang and investigator Chen Fan entered the forest together."

"What happens after entering the forest?" Moore's eyes moved and he quickly grasped the key point.

"Due to the influence of information interference, the stability of the scientific research ship's communication link has been greatly affected."

Ling shook his head helplessly: "Even I can only barely obtain some incomplete information that is almost worthless."

Moore stopped suddenly and reached out to push open the door of the emergency affairs processing hall.

Inside the hall, academicians and high-ranking personnel of the Administration had already taken their seats, waiting for Moore's arrival with solemn expressions. Right in front of everyone, a huge holographic projection was showing the same picture as the holographic panel beside Moore.

Apparently, Zero also told these higher-ups in the Authority what had happened.

Facing everyone's gazes, Moore walked quickly into the emergency affairs processing hall with a gloomy face.

"Chief Moore!"

Before More could say anything, a middle-aged man in an academician's robe had already stood up from his seat in a hurry: "Information interference and attack, this must be another means of broadcasting civilization!"

"This is already the second research ship!"

"I suggest sending a fleet to the node universe immediately..."

"Okay, Academician Wan Yafu." Moore's face darkened and he interrupted the middle-aged man. "The situation is still unclear. Don't jump to conclusions."

Wan Yafu is a well-known radical academician in the Administration, so it is naturally impossible for Moore to listen to his opinions directly.

"Academician Song." Moore turned his head and looked at Song Ziliang who was sitting not far away. "What did the Academy of Sciences say?"

"I asked for my supervisor's opinion when I received the emergency warning." Song Ziliang looked hesitant. "Chief Lu was also in my supervisor's laboratory at the time."

Moore's face turned serious: "What do you mean?"

"...There are doubts." Song Ziliang said after a moment of silence, "Based on the current information, it can only be said that this incident is related to the ghost fleet. As for the broadcast civilization... Although the attack is also based on information interference technology, it cannot be confirmed that it is the behavior of the broadcast civilization."

"but."

Song Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Chief Lu believes that since it involves information interference technology, we should respond with a war plan."

Moore's heart was suddenly shocked.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he gave an order in a deep voice: "Zero, notify the fleet near the node universe to set off immediately."

"Surround the node universe for me first!"

"Academician Song, continue to try to contact Academician Wang and the TE1571 research vessel." Moore thought for a moment, "The time is tentatively set at two hours. If there is no response..."

"The fleet has officially landed in the node universe."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"

As Moore's voice fell, the emergency affairs processing hall fell into complete silence.

The cross-universe broadcast signal took the Administration as its origin and instantly spread outward.

The human fleets stationed in the Stargate Universe and the surrounding universe bubbles set sail the moment they received the order - they quickly rose into the five-dimensional space, and with the help of the phase engine, they headed straight for the node universe not far away!

...Time passes by little by little.

Seeing the notification pop up on the holographic interface that the Stargate garrison fleet had arrived at the target area, the atmosphere in the Administration's emergency affairs processing hall instantly became anxious.

Although the size of the Stargate garrison fleet is not large, that fleet is already capable of tearing through the tough cosmic membrane of the node universe, violently descending into the node universe and launching a war!
In other words, even if the fleets of the surrounding universe bubbles have not arrived yet, as long as Moore gives an order, the node universe will embark on an irreversible path of extinction!
Realizing this, Song Ziliang's forehead broke out in a thin layer of sweat. He looked at the bright red prompt messages of communication failure that kept popping up in front of him, and became more and more anxious.

"Where's Chen Fan?" Moore broke the silence in the emergency affairs processing hall, "Can we still contact Chen Fan?"

Song Ziliang raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and shook his head grimly: "It is impossible to contact him either. Like Academician Wang, he is near the source of information interference. The interference is too strong and the communication signal cannot penetrate at all."

"Damn it!"

Moore gritted his teeth and said, "Is there no one else I can contact in the node universe?"

Song Ziliang was slightly stunned, and his stiff expression instantly relaxed: "Yes!"

“Redstone!!”

"Redstone?" Mor raised his eyebrows. "After the previous support was over, didn't she return to her own universe?"

Song Ziliang nodded: "The universe bubble where the red stone is located is far away from the node universe, and the impact of the spread of dangerous technology is limited, so she applied to continue to carry out the previous cross-universe allocation task."

"Except for Hongshi, almost all investigators chose to stay in the node universe."

As the high-dimensional resonance range of the broadcasting civilization increases, dangerous technologies begin to spread significantly. Logically, some investigators can apply to return and replace their positions.

Considering that the [Corrections] artificial intelligence crisis that just ended in the node universe was too dangerous and its danger far exceeded the conventional investigation tasks, Moore once thought that many investigators would apply for job transfers.

"Is there such a thing?" Moore looked at Song Ziliang in surprise. "What are they looking for? Excitement?"

Song Ziliang laughed awkwardly: "I heard from Ling that there are still many remnant fleets left by [Su Zheng] in the node universe. According to the previous regulations of the Administration, these are all considered as extra income for the investigators..."

Moore: "..."

understood.

After seeing the ways to make quick money, I no longer look down on the previous meager salary.

It is actually a good thing. After all, the investigation of the node universe is the top priority - Moore is not going to change this rule. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass first. Without these incentives, who would be willing to carry out such a dangerous investigation mission?
We can't ask the coalition forces to send someone to investigate, can we?

"Contact Hongshi." Moore waved his hand and gave Song Ziliang an order, "Ask her what happened to Wang Jing?"

Song Ziliang quickly operated the holographic panel at his side.

In stark contrast to previous communications, cross-universe communications with Redstone were quickly established.

"Something happened to Academician Wang? The research ship lost its signal?!"

Hongshi was also very surprised when he heard Song Ziliang's words.

Upon learning that the Human Alliance had already prepared for war and even that the Stargate garrison fleet had arrived near the node universe, Redstone did not hesitate at all and directly showed the scene of Starlight City to Song Ziliang, and carefully described the scene where the previous phantom disappeared.

"Although I don't have the ability to detect information interference, I think..." Hongshi hesitated and gave his own judgment, "Since the phantom has dissipated, the source of information interference in the Starry Forest area may have disappeared."

Hongshi spoke faster: "Academician Song, I'm applying to go to the Xinghui Forest to investigate the situation!"

Song Ziliang glanced quickly at Moore.

Seeing Moore nod, he straightened his expression and said, "Go ahead, and be careful about your own safety."

Fearing that what happened to Chen Fan and Academician Wang would happen again, Song Ziliang hastily added, "Keep in touch."

Redstone responded and without hesitation, controlled his investigator starship to soar into the sky.

Under the puzzled gazes of the Varela people, this strangely shaped starship quickly drew a graceful arc in the air and turned into a streak of blood-red light as it rushed towards the Starry Forest in the distance!
"Academician Song."

In just a few seconds, Redstone's voice sounded: "I have found the TE1571 research vessel."

"I repeat, I have found the TE1571 research vessel."

"The TE1571 research vessel and the [Varilla] investigator starship have no obvious external damage..."

Halfway through his words, Hongshi's voice suddenly stopped, and the communication channel fell into silence.

"Redstone?!"

In the emergency affairs handling hall, Song Ziliang's heart suddenly rose: "What did you see?"

"...I have found Academician Wang and Chen Fan." There was something strange in Hongshi's voice. "They are in good condition...at the moment."

"It looks like they are trying to open the hatches of the research ship and the investigator starship."

As he spoke, Redstone transmitted the ultra-high-definition images taken remotely by the starship to the Administration.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Ziliang felt his heart, which had been beating violently, twitch slightly:
"……what?!"
