The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Chapter 919 Chapter 825: Kicking the door group

The Titan ship ends at the World.

Oregana walked into the bridge with the leopard. She was casually wearing a leather jacket with her hands in her pockets.As before, she found an operator seat on the bridge and sat down, pulled out the data cable from the side of the seat, and connected it to the neural interface behind her neck—the action was as simple and neat as plugging in an internet cable for a laptop. .

In fact, it is not much different from plugging in a network cable.

The Final World delivered coffee with a lot of milk and sugar. Many people thought that this kind of coffee was 'very tasteless', but Oregana didn't care about taste.She took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee (with the gas stove and kettle that she sent and is now installed in the bridge) and asked:

"After the main fleet left, is there a gap in our defense?"

War Scythe looked up from the work in front of him:

"The whaling team does not participate in the extreme assembly. The vacancies of the regular troops are taken care of by the remnants. Miss Modifell is also rushing back. She ran too far before, and it may take several days to return to the place covered by the high-speed transportation network .”

"By the way, where did she go and what did she do?"

"Stayed in Apocalypse for a long time, helping her to civilize the civilization that fell due to the interstellar King Arthur incident. After that, I went hundreds of light-years away to study the laws of planetary movement in a binary star system. There is no star gate, and she flew over slowly by herself."

"A feeling of natural freedom."

"Apocalypse will also come here this time. Coupled with the reserve and second-line troops, there is no gap in defense. Relying on defensive artillery groups and fortresses to conduct positional warfare can deal with conventional battles."

"That's good."

A large number of scouts have been scattered, and War Scythe is accepting and sorting out the data returned by the scouts—of course, he is not alone in this work, more than twenty analysts will filter the data for the first time, among them The part about the space anomaly will be sent to War Scythe for further analysis, and the other parts will also be transferred to professionals.

This is not some small-scale data that is casually mixed in.In order to observe clearly the battlefield they will face in the future, Tartarus dispatched more than two hundred Statius-class cruisers in one go.These cruisers will arrive at the surrounding galaxies from the subspace tunnel system that has been searched and detected, and will radiate to the surroundings with the hatching ground with nine suns (temporary code name 'Xiangliu') (Note ①) as the center.

(Note ①: Xiangliu, also known as Xiangyou, comes from "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing". It is said that it has nine snakes and can eat on nine mountains at the same time. The stench can even kill birds and animals passing by. When Gonggong launched a major flood, Xiao Xiangliu smeared the soil on the embankment everywhere. This action filled the blood pressure of Dayu, who was so devoted to water control that he couldn't even touch a fox. He was hung up and beaten to death. After Xiangliu was killed, no grains grew in the place where his foul-smelling blood flowed, so Dayu could only open up the land into a clean pool and use mud to build a high platform next to it to worship the sky.)

This is a detection method that does not leave the subspace throughout the entire process, and it is a considerable test of the physical and mental strength of the hull and the driver.Usually this method would never be used, but now is an extraordinary period.

The rear also adopted an extraordinary approach—the whaling team that hunted the single dark worm was recalled, because the flagship of the whaling team was also a dreadnought class, and after being unified, it would become a powerful mobile fleet.This fleet will be used as a firefighting team. If there is a large-scale insect plague during this period, this fleet will be able to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to assist the local fleet in defense.

And the Remnant Fleet, an army that has always been independent from conventional combat forces, has also entered the battlefield at this moment.On the other side of 76, the Juggernaut and the Arachi swarm fleet, which has just formed a large scale, also left the port to enter the cruising state a few hours ago-if there is a situation where the dark worms cannot be prevented from landing on the planet, the task of retaking the planet will be It will be handed over to this low-end Queen of Blades.

The various scientific research teams that are currently conducting pioneering work have also received orders to immediately stop the scientific research work, deploy sensor arrays in situ, and use the scientific research ships as communication beacons and radar stations.Everything is to serve the situation we are facing now.At present, Oregana still doesn't know how the people will react to the current situation, and she doesn't have the energy to deal with those problems temporarily, so she throws all her brains to the Dark Angels who don't have many frontline combat missions this time.

No one is worried about Beria's work, and it is no problem to entrust the stability of the rear to him.

Colonel Worf Fraken still did not retreat to Gameras, he and his companions stayed on the Final World to assist in the command as the technical advisors of the scout force.Being able to carry out such work means that Colonel Fraken's ability has been affirmed by everyone. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will have a worry-free career in the rest of his life.

But Colonel Fraken didn't care about that.He has already put his mentality in the right place. The excellent qualities of loyalty and perseverance of the soldiers of Gamilas are undoubtedly revealed in him. The whole person shows a kind of awareness that surrounds him, and he is ready to sacrifice his life at any time to become a step towards tomorrow. Peaceful stair preparations.

"The scouts take this as the center, and spread out around it first." Wearing earphones, he pointed at the 'Xiangliu' galaxy, and repeatedly resisted the microphone, "Take the subspace corridor, don't appear in the material universe, The only way to observe the physical universe is through 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Crinoid' periscopes."

'Gone with the Wind' and 'Crinoid', the two devices called 'periscopes', are actually wired space detectors, used to look out from the subspace.Because its size is much smaller than the size of the periscope on the submersible ship of the Camillas dimension in the past (it is a real periscope, the working method is that the whole ship floats up, and then the top penetrates into the material universe-it can really be swept out by the gravitational radar, but The premise is that the target is equipped with a gravitational radar), so it is safer and more concealed.

The subspace corridor here is very recognizable, and it feels like it has been solidified many years ago.They connect the various galaxies in a simple manner, with very few forks and fluctuations in space.The reconnaissance ship moved forward while scanning, as if crossing the river by feeling the stones—although it was a bit slow, it was very stable and would not make detours.

The process of running to the position lasted for three days, and during this time, the long-range probe fixed on the 'Xiangliu' galaxy has been analyzing this galaxy-of course, it is not the one that carefully scans every planet. Kind of, that workload is really too big.Its job is to figure out the precise gravitational makeup of entire galaxies.

Here is an aside, now in that [-]-star farm, more than a dozen battleships are advising all the forces in the entire galaxy.As for the effect... it can only be described as being overwhelmed.There are too many, and there are too many grievances and hatreds among the forces.If I have to say it, the number is not enough. Although the vast majority of forces agreed on the surface, they still have all kinds of small things in their hearts-they think this is a new method of mergers targeting land and resources, and they cannot be accurate. Even though they are fully aware of the crisis described by the diplomatic team, they cannot really understand the imminent threat contained therein.

This kind of situation is caused by the vision of the local people. As the saying goes, the bacteria do not know the future, the crickets do not know the age, and it is understandable that the civilization that cannot leave the mother galaxy because of the restriction and blockade of wrong cognition does not understand these things, but... ...Your sister has a fart, you should hurry up and let me know, and then move!If you don't prepare well, you have to hold those balls and wait to die! (from the temporary diplomats who are already grumpy enough to explode)

What a difficult future. (cover face)

On the morning of the fourth day, after breakfast, Oregana received a new report from the technical kid:

"The gravitational analysis of 'Xiangliu' is out, the most complete version so far."

The content of that data report is scary.

"It's the same as over there. It's complicated and ingenious. It's a headache." Oregana drank milk with a lot of sugar - she didn't have to worry about getting fat, so she could take in a lot of sugar at will, and these sugars could give her high consumption. The brain provides energy.She looked at it and frowned, "...the nine suns are all stepping on the boundary line, why is that?"

"Save space." War Scythe's clothes were a little wrinkled. After two days without sleep, he just squinted on the captain's seat for three hours. "The orbit is limited, and they want to stuff more planets and even stars into it." In this way, a dozen or even dozens of galaxies, balls that can only be placed in the universe spread over more than ten light-years, can be stuffed into one galaxy."

Oregana touched her chin, put her fingers on the simulated holographic projection, and deleted a star with a flick.In the next second, the galaxies that were originally moving precisely like gnashing gears began to disintegrate.

"If one or two stars are destroyed, or even one planet is missing, the system falls apart immediately."

It is not a big problem to put a planet in an ordinary galaxy. For example, one day Mars suddenly disappears, and the earth will not feel it at all in a short period of time. The biggest impact is the gravitational force of Mars when the remote probe is launched. The slingshot doesn't work or the gods who make money from astrology suddenly become confused.

The celestial bodies that have the greatest influence on the earth are the moon and the sun. Even the most massive Jupiter, its gravitational influence on the earth is only one hundred and five times that of the moon on the earth. When the earth is at the farthest point from Jupiter, This ratio will be widened to [-] in [-].Therefore, it will not happen that after a certain planet disappears, the orbits of all the planets in the entire galaxy suddenly become chaotic (whether there will be any chaotic effect on the macro time scale is not discussed for the time being).

But here is different, no matter if you lose any one of the celestial bodies, the result will be immediate - they are too close together, the gravitational structure is cleverly like a huge machine, and the collapse of one of the gears will cause the entire building to collapse. The edifice topples, and the planets will be attracted to each other, collide, and end up falling into the black hole in the middle, or burnt to ashes on the star.This is especially true for the stars inside. If one of them can be detonated to form a supernova explosion, then the entire spawning ground will be burned by high temperature within a few hours.

Sounds like a great idea.

But the scythe of war shook his head:

"But we can't get in." He said while pointing to the red spherical area marked by the system. This area is centered on the black hole and spreads farther than the outermost planet. "Look, after this After the first line, the warship has no way to jump into it directly. The space readings inside are so chaotic that it cannot be measured. Let alone the jump, even if it floats up from the subspace, it will be directly disturbed. And because the gravitational disturbance is too great, ATA can’t shoot in. .”

He looked at Oregana, with a certainty that couldn't be ignored in his eyes.As the chosen one of Yogg Sothos, War Scythe is far more sensitive to space than ordinary people, and his calculations and judgments will never go wrong.The Scythe of War marked four points on the star map, and the four points were all on the edge of the outermost planetary chain. The Scythe of War pointed at those coordinates and said:

"If you want to break in, the points where you can jump are here, here, here and here. The four closest points are naturally formed jump beacons, but they are full of bugs. We will be intercepted here. If someone plans to launch such a war Fight, that's essentially suicide."

Having spent an unimaginably long time here, the swarm naturally knew the location of these transition beacons.In fact, the dark worms who work as guards on the outside are centered on these coordinates. They surround those coordinates just like Tartarus is fighting a defensive battle, so that their main guns can cover them steadily. Area where someone might jump in.

I am afraid that as long as a fleet jumps to that position, it will be subject to terrible concentrated fire, and if it jumps to a farther place, it will also face the oncoming insect swarm fleet, and it will only be a few days late to be concentrated fire. It’s only minutes—you can’t jump within the red circle, and the ship must sail in by itself, which means you have to exchange fire with the bugs outside anyway... The problem is not limited to these. From the perspective of energy response, the super mothership The hatching has reached the penultimate or even the penultimate stage, they already have a considerable degree of power, and even during the hatching process, these guys are conscious, they will figure out what happens outside, and they will be very clear to themselves. It is not incomprehensible that your companions will help.

Thinking of this, Oregana could only shake her head regretfully.Breaking through the defense line of the swarm with an absolute numerical advantage and rushing in to kill a star, this is like the crazy words of hysterics, and anyone with a clear mind knows that this method will not work.She threw this idea to the sky, and then took out another piece of information and said:

"Leave this aside. This is what the scouts have found in the surrounding galaxies in the past few days. We are more interested in this."

"This is?" Because this is not a space anomaly, the Scythe of War was not seen immediately.He looked at the floating asteroids and asked, "Is the tissue structure of the dark worm stuck inside?"

The asteroids on the screen give people the feeling that they are like coral reefs, covered with a large number of coelenterates similar to sea anemones.The conical hollow tentacles protrude from the fleshy biological tissue, stretching and contracting mechanically in the silent universe, which brings discomfort to people in various senses.

Oregana said:

"Simple mother nests, attached to asteroids, each of which is connected to a psionic link." As she spoke, she released a video message "Yesterday afternoon, the Spiral Staircase captured such a scene in galaxy [-] screen."

The picture was taken by a viewfinder on a 'periscope'.

The viewfinder was originally looking at the so-called 'brood', and the operator could be seen trying to adjust the focus, trying to see what was under the tentacles.Then, a hollow tentacle suddenly glowed, and then the sensor read a series of complex psionic communication data.This light and psychic communication lasted for more than 10 minutes - Oregana chose to fast-forward and skip this part, and then, accompanied by a conspicuous spatial fluctuation, a small fleet composed of three large dark worms Appeared in place.

According to the news from another scout ship, the three dark worms were still in another galaxy half a light-year away an hour ago.

After watching this video, War Scythe raised his head:

"Beacon?"

"Well, it's probably a beacon. Anyway, it's something similar. With this system, the swarms can travel unimpeded in the surrounding universe. This means that there are patrols everywhere. If so...do you remember that during Operation Doolittle, the Hornet crashed into the patrol boat before it arrived?"

"Remember, when the Hornet was forced to release the B-25 ten hours early, then turned around and slipped away before the Navy red deer came after it." He fumbled for a cigarette and put it in his mouth "and if we The patrol team that bumped into the bugs head-on might not be able to leave. If you choose to engage in the battle, you will add fuel to the battle. In the end, there is a high probability of losing the battle. If you choose not to engage in the battle, you will fall into a super-large-scale pursuit battle—we are being chased On the other side, the consumption will definitely not be small."

After all, it is a site that has been operated by others for many years, so it would be strange to break through it casually...

So far, I haven't found anything that can be called a 'weakness'. On the contrary, the more I look for it, the more difficult it is to win this battle.A melancholy atmosphere hung over the bridge.

In this atmosphere, a herald interrupted the conversation between the two:

"Boss, there is new information."

Only when information with a high enough urgency emerges, the herald will act to disturb the leaders' discussions.For this reason, this has attracted the attention of many people:

"Well?"

"The Spinning Dancer has spotted two-body seekers," said the herald. "In system [-], they are attacking the local brood."

"Oh Moses Roy..."

The slightly shaky image is punctuated by the exclamation of the crew of the spinning Dancing Dancer - two seekers approach a flesh-covered asteroid, waving their tentacles towards the asteroid Unleashes a psychic blast.These energy fluctuations lashed the hive attached to it like a whip, and rock fragments and tissue structures were splashed in all directions.Judging from the energy response detected by the sensors, the attack intensity was no less than the shooting of the dreadnought's main guns. The nest relying on the asteroid was faltering, but it still held on in the end.

This is a very strange thing.

The Seeker's attack power is not limited to this level. Oregana, who has observed how the Seeker tears apart and devours a dark worm, does not think that they destroy an asteroid mother with a diameter of less than [-] kilometers. The nest struct takes this long.The energy response of these attacks was much lower than that of the previous one with the Dark Worm Hammer. Melee combat, throwing skills, biting, and tentacles were not used.

Is this just entertainment?Or... is it a provocation?

Oregana clutched the arm of the chair tightly, and he felt his hands were sweating.

The two seekers are doing trouble in the territory of ordinary dark worms. They don't care how many patrols are around, and they don't care about the consequences of doing so.It's like a naughty boy going to secretly ring someone's doorbell, they just stand here, using psionic bursts one after another, but they don't stop hammering the alarms in other people's homes.

Here's a question - if your home's fixed inducement is hammered, how long will it take for the reinforcement fleet to enter the field?

For Tartarus, as long as there are flagships within seven light-years, then these flagships can reach the target in just an instant.

Although the Dark Worm didn't reach this level, it wasn't much worse.

After kicking the door slowly for more than ten minutes, bruising the asteroid mother nest, three motherships rushed to the scene, and just after they landed, they shot at the two ignorant psychopaths with biological laser cannons.And the seekers didn't hesitate. After the bears rang the doorbell, the adults came out to scold them, so they ran away. When the mothership class rushed to the scene to tear them alive, the two turned their heads and entered the transition state , swaying and pushing the limbs away, like two slippery tadpoles.

The leading mothership class stretched out several long eye stalks, and scanned for a long time at the place where the seeker disappeared, and then brought the two younger brothers into the transition state—with a strand of stalks that would not cut off the skull on the opposite side. When the bowl makes the momentum of vowing not to give up.

"The target left, and the other side followed suit." Oregana grabbed the communicator and shouted loudly, "Where is the destination? Is there a way to follow up?"

[Scanning space coordinates!Make sure that the target point of the jump is in the galaxy No. [-]! 】

"Follow!"

Following the command of the legion commander, the captain found the correct corridor of the subspace and got into it.Like an orca sinking into the depths of the Warp, the Spinning Dancer stalks through the tubes at high speed.It was a short journey, and it was not until four and a half hours later that the Spinning Dancer arrived at the target area.During this process, everyone is guarding the communication channel, waiting for the news from the front at any time.

Immediately upon arrival, the Spinning Dancer released the 'periscope', and found something immediately:

[Galaxy [-] observed jumping fluctuations! 】The speed of the seeker is much slower than the rotating mad dancer passing through the subspace corridor, but it is also walking through the subspace corridor, but it is not the corridor directly scanned, but covered under the complex space fluctuations, as if The same place as the dark passage, which enables it to reach the target area faster.

It had just landed, and had no intention of resting at all, so it immediately swung its propelling limbs...

[Find the target!They are attacking the local brood! ! 】

Keep kicking the door.

"!!"

It's hard for people to feel that this is a play, but if you think it's a guerrilla war, it's too arrogant.

In the next 48 hours, this process continued six times-in order to keep up with their rhythm, Tartarus sent seven scout ships to follow.As a result, they quickly noticed that there were already more than thirty large dark worms at the [-]-kilometer level and above chasing the seeker.

"More than thirty large dark worms have been brought out, and they are really powerful." During these dozens of hours, Oregana has never closed her eyes except for blinking. "The level of pulling the train is unparalleled in the world. But they plan to pull the train Where are you pulling it?"

"I don't know, their speed has already started to drop... I don't know if it's fatigue or some other problem." War Scythe guessed, "Maybe it is indeed a trap."

A trap, a trap that draws out as many enemies as possible and then wipes them out.

However, is there a way for Seekers to wipe out so many dark worms?Or is it that the number of seekers has reached the level where they can eat this amount of dark worms without any damage in battle?

Oregana doesn't think this will be the case—if it is indeed the case, then the number of regular dark worms may have been suppressed, and now there is no such absolute difference between predators and prey. The feeling of oppression.

She is now very interested in what tricks these bugs can play in the end:

"Where was the last jump?"
