The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Completely unexpected work, this is also a title fraud. (far eye)

Chapter 914 Chapter 820: The source of the letter

Oregana thinks that the other party may have installed a superluminal communication intermediary device in the black domain, which is why she issued this order.It wasn't just her whim—

Secondary transfer, this is a term often mentioned in the records of the official and various criminal gangs fighting wits and courage in recent years.What this word describes is that criminal gangs use illegal communication nodes arranged in deep space to build communication networks privately, and carry out illegal activities in places that cannot be monitored by the official (occasionally found to be attached to the official super-light communication link).

This is a very effective and dangerous method. The popularization of civil shipping and the reduction of space navigation approval conditions for the promotion of pioneering activities have made this kind of criminal gangs always exist in a certain number. When their communication capabilities were insufficient at the beginning, it was only It's an inconspicuous little fight.But since a certain genius put together a bunch of communicator parts and a civilian anchor system bought from the black market, and spent four months photographing it in the middle of the black areas of two colonial galaxies, I feel very When NICE was in the position, the Ansador family's workload suddenly increased.

Within the coverage of this simple communication network, the success rate of pirate attacks and smuggling has increased significantly-and the size of the relay point used as a transfer station is even smaller than a cruiser, so it is really difficult to be detected. Find.Even though the navies of various forces and the operators of the Ansador family have found ways to find these relay points and remove and destroy them, from the data analysis point of view, the number of illegal relay points still in operation is still more than Ten, of which six are confirmed to exist, but the exact location is still being sought.

In order to increase concealment, criminal gangs will use multiple communication systems to transmit signals.First, a ship is outside the planetary system, outside the shock range of the heliosheath to contact the relay point—the shock wave generated when the solar storm collides with the interstellar matter can shield the signal to the inside, making it impossible to find the inside of the planetary system Such a thing happened.Afterwards, as long as there was no other ship nearby at that time, the communication would basically not be discovered.

Due to the cost and time, it is impossible to carry out a large-scale scan of a needle in a haystack in the black field, so the only method used now is to arrange hidden outposts in the galaxy. You can find it along the route—but finding the target is not easy, the main reason is that the universe is too big, there are too many suspicious places, and there are not so many people.

This chase-and-run game will haunt Ansador's little godmother for a long time to come. (far eye)

Therefore, when Oregana thought of FTL communication, she immediately thought of this headache-inducing system.

The dark worms here have the idea of ​​"deliberately hiding their existence" no matter what angle they look at, and this idea is directly reflected in their behavior - hiding in the subspace, which isolates their own Psychic reactions and outgoing messages are all done using secondary phenomena caused by psionic energy.

For example, if a certain steel dragon apostle uses the proud skill Sha Lan to defeat his enemy, the autopsy will reveal that this guy has been blown into such a state, and all his hair has been shaved. .But if a hurricane is used to blow up rocks and smash them down from above to kill the opposite side, the autopsy will take a look-this is the trace left by the rock blockade, and the murderer is a big rock snake! (positive look)

Using secondary effects to hide the body is basically a basic operation in every field. (nod)

Infer the other party's purpose through the posture presented by the other party, and then infer the method of achieving the purpose from the purpose, and finally come to such a conclusion.

The warship that received the order immediately started to act - because the subspace did not respond, which means that the opponent has a high probability of using the persistent secondary effect to communicate in the material universe.This only needs to investigate the information circulation around the outermost planetary ring, and it will not take long to reach a conclusion.

[Investigation begins immediately,] the captain asked after the report [Is there anything else that needs help? 】

"Let the gunship carry a custom-made orbital bomb," Oregana replied, "stand by outside the orbit of the planet."

【Yes. 】

"Let the gunboats carry the made-made orbital bombs?" Liu Lizi had a strange expression on his face, "What do you mean?"

Oregana said decisively:

"Anyway, we're definitely going to kill this bug," she added, "but how to kill it becomes a problem-we can't destroy it with orbital bombing."

"really……"

This shallow lying egg... Well, it has actually entered the semi-developmental stage, far beyond the scope of an egg. It hangs itself in the crack of the subspace, only a little sticking to the side of the crack.If you use orbital bombing directly, if the shell doesn't hit the crack, it's meaningless, it can only increase the trauma to the planet, and even if it hits the crack, it's useless-it deliberately avoids the hole and floats obliquely to one side. The cannonball hits directly, and there is no way to hit its body.

And the more important thing is that if it really starts to attack violently, the bug will definitely not wait to die.The previous AMF was enough to arouse its vigilance, and a sudden attack at this time is not only ineffective, but may actually push it into a hurry.Once the bug gets anxious and forcibly drills out of the vertical well on Argus, it is not clear how much damage it will cause.

In the worst case, the entire warp rift explodes directly, and the burst of energy lifts off part of the crust, causing the planet to lose a certain amount of mass.The next thing is to wait and see snooker.The structure of this galaxy is too fragile, and the traditional arts that are usually used (such as removing people and blowing up planets as the ultimate means) will cause accidents here-if a planet is destroyed, the entire galaxy will be destroyed .

This is what is meant by the so-called mouse-thrower.

The method she thought of was to force the target away... The location of this dark worm can be called the three caves of the cunning rabbit. The three holes are connected to each other. Like smoke.This can force the dark worm to leave the vertical well.Once the dark worm leaves the vertical well and drills out of the peripheral cracks, this problem will be solved directly.

But whether the other party will follow his own ideas is still unknown.It is not ruled out that some dark worms will overcome their own instincts and force their way out to fight... I can only hope that the other party will also be wary. They are concerned about their own lives and the farm. Don't be reckless, you have to be sincere it is good.

In the following time, Oregana drove the battleship around to keep a safe distance from the opponent, used the detector to scan the opponent, and at the same time used several thought threads to monitor what was happening outside.

The warriors of Tartarus have carried out the previous order well: three aircraft carriers have descended to the planet's high orbit.

Although their performance can achieve the effect of an army of alien warships pressing directly to the top of the atmosphere in "Independence Day", there is a regulation in the flagship driving manual that unless it is a necessary emergency, otherwise it is absolutely not allowed Flagship and above battleships enter the planetary gravitational circle, because once there is an accident—whether it is a mechanical failure, or the battleship is destroyed due to a battle, they will be pulled by the planetary gravitational force and fall directly to the bottom of the gravitational well.In other words, it hit the ground with a snap.

The result of a thing of this size and quality directly hitting the ground is terrible, and history has proved all this more than once.

However, even if it does not land on the surface, the super aircraft carrier puts a lot of pressure on the ground - the captains let all the carrier-based aircraft take off in unanimous agreement, and a large number of cavalry carrier-based aircraft surround the aircraft carrier, guarding the aircraft carrier. Sailing past the local fleet like a ship review.It was a very successful appearance, or a show of force.When a behemoth with a length of several kilometers and a long axis eight to ten times that of the largest warship in the area appeared in front of him, no one dared to make any irrational actions.

The two sides conducted friendly consultations with light signals—mainly to appease the locals and inform them of their intentions, so as to prevent the other party from thinking too much and making some troublesome stuff.After this was done, a frigate carrying diplomatic marines, protected by twenty Spear Thrower aircraft, entered the atmosphere to make contact with local representatives.

The meeting of the three parties and the sweaty local lord/senator/royal family happened almost at the same time. For them, this was an unexpected...shock.

Among them, Argus was the most responsive.There was an accident in the vertical well of the abyss, and an alien spacecraft that had never been seen sneaked into the vertical well and flew out. When the local spies reported that there were abnormal stowaways sneaking in, the local lords knew that something might happen.This obviously represents that another alien force has reached out to Argus, and it will challenge the two old powers that already have vested interests here-currently all kinds of information point to this result.Everyone guessed that this battle might be very fierce, but it had nothing to do with Argus.

I just need to be on the side of the winner... emmm, to be precise, I am a prize, not a partner. There is no such thing as whoever is on the side, but whoever wins can get what he wants anything.To be honest, this feeling is quite helpless, but no one can change all this—one's strength is too weak, and it is very difficult to catch up while fighting.

Because he saw everything away and had made sufficient psychological preparations, when the frigate landed, the neat guard of honor of the locals and the solemn but not cumbersome welcome ceremony shocked the landing company commander...the diplomat. Jump.

How many times have you done this job?How are you so proficient? (scratches head)

The other two sides were much worse. The local officials obviously didn’t have time for a meeting—they didn’t have a chance. The observation post sent back the sighting report, and the information was outdated within ten seconds after the boss below received it.Originally, they thought they still had at least five or six hours to discuss how to deal with it, but they didn't even stay for five or six minutes after the jump engine was turned on.

However, although these nervous greeters looked quite embarrassed, their thinking quickly calmed down:

As everyone expected before, civilizations that have been engaged in wars and confrontations all year round are usually very smart when encountering such things.They have become accustomed to assessing each other's strength at the beginning, and then decide how they should act based on the answers they get.

If the enemy is only slightly stronger, take a tough and uncompromising attitude and don’t give the opponent any chance; if the opponent is at the same level or weaker than you, then you can face it with an equal attitude and wait for opportunities Seize the opportunity to seek benefits; if the other party is a super dish, then open the map to check the distance, open the administrative page to see if the size of the empire has exceeded the standard, and if you have some money left, you can eat it directly.And what if the other party is superior to him by a generation gap...

The era of modern warfare has long passed the era when courage can be won. A modern difference means that it is impossible to fight, so it is better to cast directly.Although this directly turned off the lights, at least there was still a whole body left.If the green hills are still there, let's dive in first and try our best. When the size of the opponent's empire is beyond control, and the economic downturn can no longer maintain the garrison, as long as the time is right, launch the war of stealing the country immediately, and turn on the lights in one go.

Don't panic, what a big deal.jpg

And this time an analysis...

This damn hit a hammer?Hey, over there, go lower the flag on the Capitol, times have changed.

Everyone was ready within a few minutes for the other party to disembark to hand over a vassal agreement, and to press for confirmation.However, when the other party got off the ship, they didn't mention these things at all——

"There are very dangerous things in the abyss shaft of Argus. From now on, we will investigate the abyss shaft and the things behind it. Please do not interfere in any way." The company commander wearing high-tech armor will With the helmet tucked under his armpit, his face was resolute, and he said in an irrefutable tone, "In the future, this galaxy may encounter an unprecedented disaster. In order to avoid irreparable losses for you, please take these actions immediately. .”

While talking, the company commander's deputy (wearing a helmet) walked forward silently and handed over a thick manual to the local officials.

It's not so much an instruction manual as it is an evacuation manual for the government - an escape guide co-written by Beria and Veneto Ansadore.How to plan the local crowd concentration area, how to train the people to quickly obey the command, how to board the ship in an orderly manner, how to carry out epidemic prevention and high-speed security inspection, material storage and transfer... everything you can think of is recorded in this evacuation manual .It can quickly teach the local management department how to quickly get people out of their homes, gather them in refuge facilities, and then board the personnel transfer ship carried by the Ark ship as quickly as possible.

Their actions exceeded the other party's expectations. Whether the other party did not intend to be a dog here, or any unprecedented disaster, it is not easy to explain clearly in one or two sentences.

"Where are you... from? What do you want from us?"

"Don't panic, sir, we won't take anything from you. We are Tartarus' troops with only one purpose." The company commander who was a diplomat smiled slightly, "That is to save the world."

"save the world?"

"That's right, can we find a place? We need to spend some time talking about this topic." The company commander emphasized, "This is related to the future of everyone here...I'm not joking."

There was indeed no hint of a joke on his face.

And at this time——the transportation ship departing from the space port hundreds of kilometers away from the vertical well on Argus star has already set off for more than half an hour. She has already left the effective range of the light signal, carrying important information about the recent vertical well of the abyss. They are being sent to their destination as fast as possible.Then, due to some well-known reasons, everyone forgot about the ship that had just set off... Probably when she arrived at the target, everyone would suddenly remember that there was such a ship.

But that's morale after a few weeks -- if nothing unexpected happens.

Mephisto's analysis of 'Fence' lasted four hours.

As Oregana judged before, the 'fence' was indeed born as a secondary phenomenon of the dark worm's psionic power, and its composition is very precise, just like a set of code books.However, the dark worm's "password" seems to come from instinct rather than its own creation. The evidence is the dark worm language collection compiled by Ligelu (commonly known as "Ligelu's Spell Card Pack") and The 'password' here is right.

Thanks to this, the correspondents who are proficient in this field can easily decipher the 'fence', pick out the password used to activate the DN** segment, and quickly find a series of highly compressed data strings.These data strings are not only mixed in the 'fence', but also pretend to be a part of the solar wind and blow to the heliosheath, and spread out in the shock wave when the solar wind collides with the interstellar matter-this information flow is in a narrow space. The angle spreads out into the universe, like an egg gun firing, forming a cone-shaped 'shock wave', and its influence range exceeds four hundred astronomical units.

Two Astro-class frigates were dispatched to the periphery of the heliosheath, looking forward along this unique 'shock wave', and would stop for a scan every time they jumped by an astronomical unit.Although this process is cumbersome, it is effective. After a total of more than 600 transitions, an inconspicuous small celestial body finally appeared in Astro's sensor.

"Boss, we found it, but it's not what we expected."

[Not the same? 】

"That thing is not a biological tissue... No, it may be..." The voice of the crew member seemed a little unsure, "I don't know what it is..."

【Meow meow meow?Send an image over to see? 】

"Understood, the image has been uploaded."

Full of curiosity, Oregana couldn't wait to open the image she had just received, her excited expression froze on her face, replaced by a complicated mood of 'what the hell'...

Chapter 915Chapter 821: Grabbing the tail to pull out something incredible

The equipment of the dark worm - seeing these words, the first impression that pops up in people's minds is naturally that a large number of tentacles are entangled together, or the blood vessels and muscles are intertwined with flesh and blood. No appetite.I even started to take off the earphones, a little afraid that this thing would appear in the earphone hole and drill into my ears, just like seeing cockroaches at home but not killing them, I felt a subtle sense of uneasiness when I went to bed at night, afraid This thing will crawl into the ear in the middle of the night.

But southerners don't have this kind of trouble, because southern cockroaches are bigger than ear holes, so they can't squeeze in. (with a reassuring expression)

Until today, the impression of the dark worm is like this, with a full sense of biology, and has never let go of any opportunity to try to kill patients with dense phobia and giant phobia.

But now, what the two frigates found was completely different from this past impression.

It is in the shape of a beautiful and regular star-shaped dodecahedron, with a major axis of no more than 170 meters, not even as big as a cruiser.This shape is to extend the five adjacent faces of the same face of the regular icosahedron and intersect at one point, form a regular pentagonal pyramid with the bottom face, and form congruent pentagonal pyramids on the other eleven faces in this way, and finally become a A stellate body containing twelve regular pentagonal pyramids.

In layman's terms, it is to first imagine a Saint Quartz, which is a star-shaped octahedron, which has four more corners than the Saint Quartz.

It is such a shape.

Generally speaking, its geometric shape is very beautiful and regular, but the surface is not smooth, and the black shell like frosted looks a bit dull and inconspicuous.In addition, far away from the planetary system, the light of the star is already quite weak, and it is as inconspicuous as a pebble sunk in a swamp.

Small size, small mass, weak light reflection, and the location is too remote, let alone here, even in some remote galaxies in the control area of ​​the integration department, it may not be discovered in a short time ——It is more than [-] astronomical units away from the edge of the planetary system, which has already stepped into the "black area" firmly, and has long exceeded the scanning range of conventional early warning radars.

"This thing... is completely different from what I thought." Liu Lizi leaned forward, staring at this polyhedron whose painting style was completely wrong, with a curious look on his face, "It's not like a dark worm, nor is it dark. The energy response of the dark worm."

Is the dark worm capable of processing something of this shape?

This is still inconclusive-the dark worm has not shown the ability to process high-precision items before, but considering the examples of Ligelu, the space star and the Nascatron civilization, the dark worm has a way to obtain This kind of processing precision is the creation of the creature.Just like humans can process raw materials by making tools and make higher-precision tools, dark worms also have this ability.But they didn't evolve their arms and legs into hands to squeeze things, but they used their own tools to turn other races into their own tools, and then let them make them.

This thing in front of me was probably made in this way, right?However, it is impossible to verify who made it. Maybe it disappeared into the dust of history, or maybe it still lives under the control of the dark worm with shackles, becoming a black iron dwarf under Ragnaros. Existence—maybe even worse.

And the problem is not just as simple as "how miserable". If at least one civilization has been infected and fell to the dark worm, it may face the threat of a conventional fleet in the future.Fighting dark worms and fighting regular warships are two completely different feelings, and the fleet also needs different configurations to adapt...

"The signal flow is indeed sent here," Oregana said to Liu Lizi, "you have to make some preparations."

"That's right, the signal flow is indeed here," Haitu quickly browsed the feedback data, and said affirmatively, "Then walked through the subspace through this device, and there was no energy related to the dark worm in the whole process." No reaction, no clues at all."

"Sure enough, you are hiding something?"

In nature, most animals are good at disguising themselves. There are only two reasons for this—the prey uses camouflage to avoid being discovered by predators, and the predator uses camouflage to prevent itself from being noticed by prey.In the long-term competition and evolution, all the guys in this circle will evolve into old dicks.

Some people may ask: Look at that giant panda, which lives in a green bamboo forest, but why is it black and white like the photo of Zhang Daqing when he died?

The answer is actually not complicated. Pandas evolved and formed during the Quaternary Ice Age. At that time, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and stones were mixed in the snow. The panda’s paint lay down on the snow like a Finn—you There are pandas calling in the snow behind!Later, when the weather got warmer, the pandas became vegetarians, and the fearless bear people had no natural enemies at all.You don't need to catch prey, you don't need to worry about being caught, if you jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements, then what color do I look like is up to me?It is too troublesome to change the color, so the Quaternary Ice Age painting has been maintained until now. (far eye)

Then, the difficulty of hunting dark worms... Basically, it is not much different from pandas eating bamboo. Ordinary civilizations are not as sharp as bamboo in front of this thing. There is really no need for them to hide themselves because of this kind of thing.Well, the biggest possibility is that something is catching bugs here.

"Could it be that one? What's the local name? Seeker?"
