I can't afford to support the ship girl, so I decided to hand myself over

"In the war back then, even if all the participating parties were crazy at that time, they were unwilling to fight Gray Gu or Gray Wind."

"Especially gray Gu, no matter how fierce the battle is, their number will not decrease, but will increase. Those destroyed warships, exploding ammunition, dissipated energy, and even the surrounding area of ​​the battlefield will be affected and shattered." All of these stars will be turned into nutrients by the fleet of nanomachines, copying themselves crazily, hitting more and more, and the proliferation of viruses is far worse than them..."

Just listening to it makes me shudder.

"What a scary guy." Ji Zi smacked his mouth next to him, "Isn't there any way to completely eliminate them?"

"Not at all."

The captain shook his head.

"But it's very difficult. We must rely on absolute power to wipe out the entire Gray Gu fleet in an instant, and we can't leave even a single nanomechanical component behind. Otherwise, as long as we give it enough time, it will definitely come back."

"I suddenly remembered that there was a big battle back then. In order to eliminate a gray Gu fleet, a federation completely gave up one of its own colonial galaxies and chose to detonate the stars, only to stop the gray Gu fleet's attack."

"Even if there is only one component left, can it be restored?"

Even Sun Xianyun was surprised this time.

No wonder Gray Gu and Gray Wind made people fearful when they heard about it. This kind of terrifying survivability and multiplication ability, even if their own combat power is weaker, people will feel scared.

"But, in this case, how were they defeated¨〃?"

It was Astrea who asked the question.

Rita who was standing beside her glanced at her, and said quietly: "Perhaps, Gray Gu and Gray Wind have not been defeated, nor have they disappeared, they just fell silent for some reason we don't know yet, like ghosts Swimming around in this big hole, and—we got bumped into by some bad luck."

On the battlefield, the proliferation of the gray Gu fleet has already begun.

After the first battleship twisted like a living thing, all the gray Gu battleships—even those hulls that had been destroyed and looked like wrecks, also began to mutate.

These warships are all made up of countless nano-mechanical components that are invisible to the naked eye.

Since it can be combined, it can naturally be split.

Since they can be combined into battleships, naturally... they can also be combined into other shapes.

In sight, one of the warships was destroyed in the middle, exploded from the middle, and broke into two pieces of the wreckage of the battleship. The remaining two parts of it all changed at the fracture.

Little by little, the broken parts of this starship will be restored into a complete starship!

Sun Xianyun took a deep breath, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"The whole ship is ready to retreat!"

"Be prepared to evade, all ship girls join the joint shield sequence!"

"Ready to drop—vacuum implosion bomb."

Vacuum implosion bomb.

The original version is an ultimate weapon in the Red Alert series of games. It consumes the atmosphere within a certain range by a momentary explosion, forming a vacuum area, and then relies on the super pressure formed by the atmospheric pressure on both sides of the explosion range. , to shred everything within the killing radius.

But the magically modified vacuum implosion bomb rewarded by the system can directly create a black hole.

Sun Xianyun, who originally planned to let the Herrscher team try to defeat and capture the opponent's flagship, gave up this plan after learning about the terrifying multiplication ability of the Gray Gu fleet.

This kind of plague-like stuff, no matter how careful it is, it can't be overstated.

As the ship mothers received the order to retreat one after another and integrated into the joint shield sequence of the conventional starship, the space army began to evacuate the battlefield collectively.

The seventeen-kilometer-long flagship of the USS Lexington has a special missile launch silo on the top of its outer armor.

Its diameter far exceeds that of a single silo in an ordinary launch matrix, and is more than ten times that of a conventional silo.

After all, the vacuum implosion bomb is the most terrifying strategic weapon of the Rabbit family besides the Star Destroyer on the star ring, and even the number carried on Lexington is not much.

Its specifications also vary in size, and this time Sun Xianyun is going to drop the vacuum implosion bomb with the smallest specification.

"The launch of the silo is complete. 』

"Target lock complete. 』

『The first-level insurance is canceled, the second-level insurance is canceled, and the third-level insurance is canceled. 』

"The ammunition has been activated and will be released soon. 』

"Please enter the launch code——"

Lexington's azure eyes gradually flooded, and a stream of data flashed through the pupils.

『The code input is complete and the calibration is correct. 』

『The final confirmation is complete, the bomb——! 』

With a tail flame, a huge missile flew out of the silo on top of the Lexington.

After advancing for a short distance, it suddenly disappeared into the void.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived at the battlefield.

At this time, the entire space force is retreating with all its strength.

Even the vacuum implosion bomb with the smallest equivalent will produce cosmic natural disasters like black holes after all.

It would be too embarrassing if there was an oolong incident with a range of [-] kilometers and a killing radius of [-] kilometers, and finally involved himself.

A burst of unprecedented bright flashes suddenly burst out on the battlefield.

The torrent of energy released wantonly spread rapidly in the form of a ring shock wave.

In an instant, a-rays, b-rays, y-rays...

A large number of high-energy rays pierced the vacuum, caught up with the retreating space army, and caused the combined shield of the fleet to vibrate violently.

"The bomb detonated successfully! 』

"Anomalous gravitational wave radiation detected, confirming black hole formation! 』

『All ships, prepare for the impact! 』

Even under the protection of the shield, the entire battleship vibrated violently. Even with the inertial anchors, many shipboard soldiers had to hold on to the handrails around them.

Finally, the flash disappeared, and the impact gradually faded away.

The huge gravitational force began to pull the entire battlefield.

Time and space are bent, light is distorted, and everything becomes bizarre.

Under the irresistible gravitational storm, the gray Gu fleet that filled the battlefield fell into the dark abyss like hell.

In other words, at the moment when the vacuum implosion bomb was successfully detonated, they were already in hell—the precisely calculated equivalent made Sun Xianyun convinced that the moment the black hole was formed, the entire battlefield was shrouded in this brand new bomb. A plume within the event horizon of a black hole.

The gray Gu fleet is completely over.

Chapter 596: Is there something wrong with Gray Wind?

Witness the birth of a black hole that swallows everything around it.

Such a shock made everyone in the bridge unable to recover for a long time.

Even if they don't rely on the battlefield images produced by holographic projections, they can clearly see the situation in the distance just by looking at them.

A nascent black hole swallows everything within its event horizon.

And it should have been invisible.

But beyond the universe, clouds of interstellar dust are captured by the powerful gravitational pull, gradually forming a huge vortex around the black hole.

Although no bright accretion disk has been formed yet, just looking at the hell-like darkness that seems to suck even human souls, I will finally realize something in my heart-there is something there, like a monster , enough to devour everything in the universe.

Can't see it, but can feel it's there.

Rita's arm was already covered with goosebumps, she subconsciously stuck to Sun Xianyun's body, and pressed her nephrite jade on it without hesitation.

It's not that they haven't seen black holes.

The huge black hole was even observed at a relatively close distance at the L Stargate Research Station, and the light emitted by the bright accretion disk was even more dazzling than the sun.

The black hole in front of them is obviously inferior to the natural black hole in terms of quality, but - they made it themselves!

Human beings, relying on their own strength, created a cosmic natural disaster.

After 520 realized this, everyone in the entire fleet from top to bottom seemed to be suppressing something, and an unspeakable emotion was about to erupt like a raging volcanic magma.

Some young soldiers wanted to shout something, but the strict training and strict military discipline made them just open their mouths and roar silently in their hearts.

Finally, after a long silence, Lexington's clear and beautiful voice rang out on the military radio along the command link.

『Turn on the full-band scan, check the entire battlefield, and make sure that there is no gray Gu fleet left. 』

For a split second, something seemed to be broken.

The army that had fallen into silence became active again, and everyone was busy at their posts.

The sound of the report was somewhat roaring, and the pace seemed to be faster than before. Too many people tensed their bodies, with bulging veins on their necks, and bloodshot eyes. They vented their depression in this silent way. emotion.

"Collate the war report, summarize the data, and send it back to the central starport along with the battlefield video."

Sun Xianyun lowered the brim of his hat.

"In addition, help me get through the communication with Abrak, I have something to ask him."

The communication was quickly connected, and Abrak's figure appeared in the projection.

"Great Teacher, what instruction do you have? 』

Abrak was respectful as always.

"I have something to ask you." Sun Xianyun folded his hands on his chest, looked away from the battlefield, and looked at Abrak, "Did you encounter the gray Gu fleet when you wandered into the big hole?"

Abrak obviously already knew what happened here, and the fleet had already sent the situation to the central starport the moment it entered the encounter with the Gray Gu fleet.

"Teacher, it's a pity that I didn't encounter the Gray Gu Fleet when I was wandering in the Great Void. 』

Sun Xianyun sighed.

He always felt that things were a little too coincidental.

With such a big hole, not long after I brought the fleet here, I ran into a wandering gray Gu fleet. The probability should have been infinitely close to zero.

Sun Xianyun looked at the captain again.

"Grey Gu and Gray Wind, are there any so-called lairs?"

The captain shook his head and explained the situation back then.

The storm created by the nascent Gray Gu fleet devoured their former masters, took over their civilization, and then began to spread to the entire Xel'Naga star area. There is no such thing as an old nest.

As for how the war ended later, and what happened to the Gray Gu fleet and the subsequent Gray Wind, the captain, the remnant soul who wandered in the subspace for an unknown number of years, also didn't know.

"Forget it, anyway, go and see your hometown first, maybe you can find something there."

That's what he said, but Sun Xianyun didn't give up hope.

Based on Abrak's description, the captain's log, the investigation of the previous probes, and what he saw and heard with his fleet these days, it is indeed very likely that only the central part of this large cavity still has the only star and accompanying planet left.

Other places have long been barren, leaving only a large nebula, not even a star wreck or even a stray asteroid.

Oh, no, now, this big void has an extra black hole.

But the big void is really too big, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, and several times larger than the Milky Way and the Andromeda Nebula combined. To be honest, Sun Xianyun doesn't think that the first exploration can really discover anything.

This is more hopeless than dropping a drop of water into the ocean.

In the following days, the fleet continued to sail in the void, just like the Gray Gu fleet encountered before, each time Sun Xianyun would use his spiritual energy to lead the fleet to jump a certain distance, and then patrol a certain distance regularly for data collection.

Finally, about a week later in Earth Standard Time.

When another psionic transition ended and the fleet entered the main material universe, Sun Xianyun called out the captain.

"Here we are, the coordinates you gave."

In front of him, it was as dark as ever.

There is nothing around here, not even interstellar dust.

The bright light projected by the distant stars has long since become faint and blurred. According to the probe and radar scans, within ten light-years around, there is nothing but dead silence.

The computing core equipped with the captain's consciousness is constantly flashing brightly, and the data transmitted through the connection with the starship is analyzed and scanned repeatedly, over and over again.

"Sure enough, although it has been expected, but..."

The captain's tone seemed quite low.

His hometown is gone.
