The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

At this time, the Legion stepped forward with a considerable degree of politeness:

"Creator, can you tell us where you attacked?" he said. "Since we haven't restored communication with the other geth, we don't know what happened. The behavior of the geth is different from what we know. Given that the geth may have made contact with the Reapers, we need to understand what's going on behind the scenes."

Ok?

Are they not interested in the dispute between geth and quarry?Even if this geth is right in front of you?And the reaper... Why is the word reaper mentioned here?

It's not that Admiral Ryan doesn't know what the Reapers are. In her understanding, the current situation is just caused by Quary's misjudgment of the power of the Geth, and has nothing to do with the Reapers at all.But judging from Oregana's attitude, it seems that there is something deep hidden?

She hesitated for a moment, and after exchanging glances with Admiral Gerald and Admiral Corlis... After the reflection on the mask, she said to the soldiers next to her:

"Open the star map."

"Yes."

Although the nearby cabin was damaged in the previous battle and the explosion spread to this side, the projection system is still good.In the projection that was not very good in color and the picture was a little shaken, she lit up several galaxies and said:

"We destroyed the geth facilities here, here, and here. The purpose was to open the way to our home planet...Then the geth counterattacked within a few hours, and our elite fighting force was exhausted before long After that, he was chased all the way here.”

Really easy to understand description.

Oregana looked at the legion and asked:

"What facilities are there?"

"The war fortress of the Geth was built to resist the possible attacks of the Creator. Its shield is enough to withstand the long-term shooting of the dreadnought's main guns, and the fleet stationed around it can also quickly counterattack before the fortress is breached." The screen on the chest of the legion It shows a surprised face with an open mouth "If the fortress is breached, we will indeed think that we are about to be destroyed... However, the creator has no ability to capture there. It is impossible! Grand Commander, we Doubts about the veracity of this information.”

Admiral Gerald waved his hand:

"No, geth. It's just that they didn't have the ability before, but now it's different." He explained, "We got a blueprint for a weapon, and got the technology to install weapons that are more powerful than the main guns of dreadnoughts on cruisers and even frigates. Its principle is to preserve the liquid iron-uranium-tungsten alloy in a liquid state in an electromagnetic field..."

Ok?

"puff!"

"Cough cough!"

"Wait a minute?"

"and many more!"

Hearing this, several people around reacted violently, not only Oregana and Liulizi, but also several soldiers and even the legion who followed almost jumped up.

The liquid iron-uranium-tungsten alloy is stored in the electromagnetic field in liquid form, and then thrown out to hit people's faces, the power is much more terrifying than the general mass effect accelerator, and it is easy to miniaturize.There is only one weapon with these distinctive features, and that is the magnetic fluid accelerator used by the Reaper.After Saren's overlord was crushed, the Turians tried to reverse-engineer the overlord's weapon, but after so long, there was no clue. On the contrary, the cooperation project on the Citadel, that is, the high-power rail gun, has a new one. As a result, the atmosphere between the two research groups became tense...

As a result, Querry actually got the blueprint directly?Even used it quickly in actual combat, knocking down several geth fortresses in one go?

Oregana narrowed her eyes, she felt that the thread seemed to be threaded, but it was almost...

"Where did you get this?"

"...in the ruins of a hulk ship in the Entrell galaxy, Kate's Lair, a young man who returned from wandering found it there and brought it back. Excuse me... is there any question?"

Now the clue is really worn.

Liu Lizi frowned beside him and said:

"You guys have a lot of fun with the Reaper's weapons." She sighed, "And there is a colony where the batarian hegemony has operated for thousands of years in Entrell, how could there be a hulk that can find this kind of thing Ruins? The Turians took the overlord's wreckage and researched it until now and haven't come up with a finished product. You just got the blueprint and built it and then installed it? Do you really think this is no problem?"

This is not EVE, a galaxy will be continuously refreshed.The place of Entrell has long been swept away by Batari. You must know that the old Batari hegemony is not the UNSC.This group of four-eyed boys dug up their graves faster and cleaner than the bandit warlord Sun Dianying. Whether they were the Emperor Reaper or Lafayette Proxian, they all dug up their graves. How could there be blueprints left behind?

In the final analysis, the Reaper can't take the blueprint of the main gun directly in the crotch. Do you think this is the ship that transported the blueprint and exploded through the star gate?Even if it was really the reaper's transport map that exploded, the things created by that map were directly loaded on your quarry ship?

The only possibility is that someone put it there recently, or it was simply given to that 'young man who wandered around'.

As for the purpose... When Quary has this kind of artillery, the shield that was impenetrable in the past has become a piece of paper. Even if the number of warships equipped with this weapon is not many, they can still destroy the Geth arrangement Fortress on a traffic node.As a result, the geth felt threatened to survive, and then-immediately fell to the side of the Reapers who could help immediately, because the quarians had overwhelmed the land.

But why does it need geth?Is there anything in the geth's hands that would catch the Reapers' attention at this point?

Could it be that unfinished giant structure?That gigantic structure has been built for more than 260 years. It is designed as a geth program that can extract massive amounts of energy from stars and has extremely high computing power and can store astronomical numbers. Its ultimate goal is the Dyson sphere.Now the Dyson sphere is obviously not yet built, but from the previous information of the Legion, some structures are already operational-this must include a part of the energy system.

Oregana used part of her thinking thread to think about this problem, and at the same time gestured to the soldier carrying the detector, and said:

"have a look."

"There is enlightening energy, but it is very slight." The fox soldier looked at the feedback data and said affirmatively, "It doesn't seem like it's just started, but it feels like the other party has pulled away. From the energy curve, there was a peak in the past, and now it's gone." Most of it dissipated."

"Let your people retreat the fleet to this area, this part is within our protection." Oregana tapped hard on the star map "Then your task now is to immediately clean up the blueprint brought back by that person For the relevant equipment, our people will assist in this work, and enlightenment must not be spread.”

Logically speaking, at this moment, Oregana did not order Admiral Querry's position, but no one at the scene intended to defy her.On the contrary, many people were greatly relieved because the Consolidation Department was willing to provide asylum, but some people noticed the tension on Oregana's face that could not go away—this was very strange, for the Consolidation Department, it was only What can a Reaper do?

"I see...the fleet has reset its course! Where is that person? Go and arrest him immediately!"

"He's... dead. The cruiser Nassau he was working on was sunk when the geth fleet launched a counterattack."

Oregana no longer pays attention to these generals, and the next thing here will be resolved by others.She waited for the probe to send back information, and at the same time began to calculate the coordinates of the jump.This reaper obviously wants to use the geth to make a big wave. After all, that giant structure itself has the ability to broadcast information over a wide area. Maybe it wants to use this to reintegrate the remaining reapers.

Although we still don't know what the Reaper is planning to do, and we don't know how far its plan has progressed, but our side has a huge advantage in combat power. As long as we start fighting, we can quickly defeat the enemy's head.But for some reason, Oregana felt more and more uneasy in her heart, it was an annoying and familiar feeling.

"It will take 33 minutes to calculate the coordinates." She loosened the neckline that made people feel a little stuffy. Her main force is needed at any time."

"Boss, we didn't need the Fist of Tartarus to fight seriously after the whole fight." Liu Lizi showed a puzzled expression, but immediately turned serious - because her boss was blessed by Murphy, Premonitions on the bad side are usually pretty accurate "Are you saying that the situation might turn out to be unexpected?"

"There are too many unstable places in this universe. The negative energy accumulated in previous harvests has been slowly superimposed, and Batari's devout beliefs for thousands of years have also suffocated things. Now, the reapers have already obtained in their hands. Domain information broadcasting capabilities, relying on giant structures powered by stars." Oregana looked at Liu Lizi and said seriously, "We don't know what it wants to do."

"But we can imagine what will happen if the game crashes."

Chapter 1244 Chapter 259: Traces of Fireflies

What are you doing?

No... Before that, what was I?

When the two-kilometer mechanical giant swung its limbs across the universe, a huge amount of information flowed in its body, but that was far less than a few months ago.Since the attack on the anchorage, all communication has been cut off and all is silent.

But communication?Why newsletter?Who do I communicate with?

The four red 'eyes' on the shell flickered slightly.It felt a wave of doubts, and a large number of thinking threads were regurgitating the memories in its body.These memories are contradictory. Some memories tell me that I am a popular athlete who throws the ball that no one can catch; Barely surviving on the hot air from the radiators; and sometimes being a new soldier in the army, risking his life against an enemy too strong to comprehend...

Which one is yourself?

I don't know, I can't understand...

Its gaze turned to the behemoth in the universe.Compared with that, I am like a tiny insect.It floats at a distance of 0.2 AU from the galaxy's star, facing away from the star, showing an unusual presence.

Even from my own point of view, that thing can be called an engineering miracle-it still uses the mass effect system to maintain its huge size of more than two thousand kilometers, the method is ancient and inefficient, but it can do this The scale is admirable anyway.

More importantly, the geth did not use local materials to build. Out of their insistence, the local planets, moons, and asteroid belts were not used at all, but transported from another galaxy five light-years away. Come.For more than 260 years, geth has been collecting resources there, and then transporting them here for assembly and installation, without stopping for a moment.

Only machines can do this kind of thing, they are strong, they never tire, and they are never swayed by emotions.And organic life forms can never defeat them, so it is necessary to preserve the organic life forms... That's right, this is my job.

But...why is the Reaper attacking itself?They fell from the sky, the armies broke, and for months afterward, people were sent to disposal ships, and...then...what happened?The war, the war is still going on... the Reapers must be defeated, or it will... it will... what?Why beat the Reaper?Obviously he is the reaper?

The work of harvesting must be completed, and the harvesting must continue. It is not enough to rely on one person alone, and communication must be restored.

The plan is working fine, the geth don't want anyone to help them build the structure, but they want to survive when they are attacked by their creators.So I left blueprints so that their creators could threaten them, and then offered help to the geth to make them fall to my side.Provide new computing methods to improve the computing power of the Geths so that they can command and mobilize the fleet more smoothly, and then use this opportunity to force the Geths to obtain permission to use the building.

It is true that some geth rejected the proposal, but many more chose to accept it.The part of the geth that refuses seems to be trying to communicate with the Citadel, and even sends a fleet, but that doesn't matter.As long as there is this giant computing and communication hub, wide-area communication can be sent through mass repeaters scattered throughout the galaxy.

Why newsletter?Who do I communicate with?

I don't know, but it is necessary to communicate and send out a signal.In this way, harvesting can continue.

Countless geth surrounded the behemoth, and there were sparks of light everywhere, and the sunlight reflected the black silhouette, making it appear to be floating in an ocean of light.

A little bit more...

————————————————————

On the bridge of the general flagship, the holographic projections of the commanders have gathered together.As designed, this place is functioning well as a combat command center.

The third-level alarm has been sounded, and every sensible person in the civilized circle of the Ministry of Consolidation knows what it means—there is a high probability of a large-scale dark worm invasion event, and the large ark ship immediately set sail to the colony that may be invaded to stand by, The decoy position is activated, the air mine is activated, and the defensive fleet goes to the preset position to meet it. After the main fleet lifts off, it gathers around the delivery system of the anchor galaxy, ready to be dispatched at any time. The whaling team that has not found the target immediately returns to join the main fleet.

On the other side, after the embassy in the Citadel submitted the emergency information to the Citadel council, it immediately carried out the evacuation work, and at the same time provided an ark ship to the Citadel for evacuation activities - a bandicoot-class small ark ship Fully enough to accommodate the 320 million people of the Citadel.At the same time, it is stated that an additional sixteen Ark ships will be used to evacuate the Citadel world colonies around the dangerous area.

It didn't take long for Senator Azali to figure out the situation, because they could always feel the difference between their home planet—that is, the planet where super multi-powered people gathered and other planets, plus the previous Communicating with Concord about 'psychic power', they easily understood how serious things were happening now.At the beginning, some people took chances, but... After seeing the regional threat value provided by Cardinal Alicia Yugudora Hill, people in Ashali immediately felt that this thing cannot be gambled.

The dark worms will attack the planets where intelligent life lives, and the highest priority among them is naturally the one with the strongest spiritual response.Once the broadcast is successful, the most threatening victims will be the Athena Nebula Panisa galaxy where the Asari have lived for generations, and the God of God galaxy that has accumulated a large amount of energy in the subspace with the progress bar of god-making reaching 97%. Batary controlled area.If the batarian-controlled area falls, the dark worms will spread to the surrounding galaxy, and the front is the territory of the turians.

"This large-scale evacuation and control will deal a terrible blow to the economy, very, very terrible." The Waller ambassador in charge of the Touareg economy lamented, "Grand Duke, we should be more cautious. Before we have exact information, we will not Regulate or requisition merchant ships and let those captains do their thing."

"The powerful Reapers are just a joke in the eyes of the Consolidation Department. They even tamed the leader of the Reapers in a short period of time. But now the Consolidation Department is evacuating their embassy. I can see their fear and fear." Grand Duke He did not adopt the opinions of the Waller people. He made a choice based on his long-term military career experience "declare a state of emergency, the fleet..."

Having said this, he stopped.What to say next?The fleet is in an attacking stance?But now the fleet can fight against creatures with a length of two thousand kilometers and terrifying combat power?

No.

So he changed his words:

"The fleet assists the evacuation of the people at any time."

The battle is handed over to the Coordination Department, and it is good to do all the evacuation work here after the dark worm appears - the people who will most interfere with the combat behavior of the Coordination Department are probably only the people on the surrounding planets.The Ministry of Consolidation does not want mass casualties to be seen by individuals. In the previous meeting that could not be disclosed to the outside world, some fools even asked whether it could be used to [manufacture restrictions on the actions of the Consolidation Department], which is neither human nor human Another story out of the Arabian Nights.

So now if you want to say what help you can do... Probably the only way to help the people evacuate and reduce the pressure on the Unity Department is to increase their winning rate.After all... If this world is attacked by the dark worms, the Consolidation Department can choose to retreat if they can't win, but the race in this world will be finished.Is it impossible to ask the Ministry of Consolidation to keep the Ark ship, and then everyone will run directly from the Milky Way to Andromeda?

This time, there was no time for a meeting to discuss, and the upper management directly decided to enter a state of emergency, which was unbelievably fast for a matter that had not yet been determined.But it is in this atmosphere of tension and fear that few people question anything, even the Omega space station is ready to retreat, and a delirious cultist is shot by gangsters on the grounds that he is in the city center. The doomsday speech was delivered in the square to shake the hearts of the people.

However, it will take time and cooperation for the above instructions to be extended to the end of each colony. Slow things going.In such a large-scale social system where liberalism is practiced in most places, if you want to quickly drive hundreds of millions of people into air-raid shelters or send them to ark ships without prior training, it is not necessarily better than Noah's original plan. How much easier it is to move the zoo on the ark.

[The giant structure has been discovered, but it has not yet been charged. 】

Oregana looked at the image sent back by the scout, and made minor corrections to the jumping target with reference to the star map.

"Attacking from this position will fall into the air mines." Essex, who is assembling the fleet, pointed to the area next to the giant structure, "The Geths have set up a defensive position here, and we need a special air defense team to resist ...cruiser-sized air mines. Haven't the Reapers and accompanying ships spotted it yet?"

【not yet. 】

"We recommend destroying the giant device as soon as it arrives." The screen on Legion's chest displayed the words 'HIT' "It wants to use that to accomplish something terrible, and we must not let it succeed-the most direct The way to do that is to destroy that device."

Xuefeng, who was already on standby on the Titan ship, asked:

"Even if you want to give up the wonders that have been built for more than 200 years?"

"Commander Xuefeng, our time is unlimited. As long as the Geths are not destroyed, then we can still create the same thing in the next two hundred years." Legion gave a thumbs up "And we think that we What is said here will determine the future status of the geth in this world."

"Huh?" The Tiamat showed a surprised expression. "You're quite smart with this flashlight! I thought the Geth seldom think about this kind of problem."

"We have increased our knowledge and knowledge while traveling, talking to people, reading books, watching film and television works have enriched our database. We are not weak in social interaction."

"Then let me tell you one more thing, the last sentence doesn't need to be said."

"No, Tiamat, we deliberately emphasized this matter," Legion said with his hands on his hips, "Combining with the impression of 'ignorance' we left on people, we can greatly increase the success rate after calculation."
