Chapter 824 Shadow Space

.Chapter 824 Shadow Space

Under the joint orders of the two emperors, the Imperial Front shrank across the board. The Celestial System Fleet took the initiative to retreat to the vicinity of the Mobrado star system after launching an ineffective Emperor's Breath. Then, we began to voluntarily abandon a A heavy space fortress located in a remote area of ​​the galaxy, even though some of those fortresses are truly important space arsenals - this series of changes were completed in less than a day. Before the Revenge Army could react, the Imperial Army had already All the main forces gathered together and prepared for the final decisive battle, which was obviously beyond the enemy's expectations. {xiaoshuoyd/.com first text}

We are indeed ready for a showdown, but not here.

The Mist Star base has been dismantled. The Imperial Admiral flagship and a dozen large motherships that make up this giant city have left this rough hell planet and reshaped and reassembled into a battleship state in space. Only a few observation outposts and a teleportation device used to transfer the "mausoleum" ruins back to the Shadow City were left under the thick clouds of the Misty Star. The space was filled with majestic imperial spaceships, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire high-altitude orbit of Mist Star. The pitiful dozen or so sampans of Mobrado's "Space Force" who came to see them off were inconspicuous. Shrouded in the shadow of the Imperial Admiral's arms, it looked like a fragile plant about to collapse.

But this is good. At least the Pope reorganized the "Space Force" under the United Government within a few days, which had been abolished for more than a hundred years, and in a short period of time he taught them how to fly warships to their homeland. On the borderline, that's remarkable efficiency. Due to the existence of the Gun of Sin, which can turn conventional space forces into scrap metal, the Blue Church has prohibited the United Government from deploying any armed aircraft in space for a long time.

The imperial fleet, which is in the shape of a spherical shell and covers the entire giant planet, is boundless as far as the eye can see, is an endless silver-gray interstellar ship, and can make the stomachs of new recruits who have just entered the battlefield twist in their stomachs just by looking at it, bringing these Mobrados. The government soldiers were greatly shocked. The edited war scenes they saw on the bulletin board above the city were obviously not as exciting as the real scenes. When they met with Sandora to see off these "troops", I found that there was something different in the eyes of some of the young people who took the initiative to join the army with a little passion and the instigation of the Pope. That was something I had never seen in the eyes of any Mobrado before. , with curiosity and enthusiasm for the unknown world without fear. It seems that the younger generation in any world is the most malleable. I don’t know what means the Pope used to make these people live a comfortable and peaceful life. The young master soldier who was used to being comfortable had this change, but this must be a good thing.

"Restless young people will always exist. It took me three hundred years to just let these kindlings learn how to hide themselves." On the bridge of the Imperial Admiral, the Holy Pope was allowed to board this place for the first time. He seemed a little excited and a little restrained, because the looks that the leaders of the surrounding forces from other vassal races looked at him were not very warm, so his tone when he spoke was also a little awkward, "They were all under strict supervision originally. Stable elements are young heretics with active thoughts. They are very curious and accustomed to raising objections to the knowledge of sages. Therefore, in the original Mobrado society, they were ostracized wild children..."

"This kind of person is the easiest to save the world," I whispered to my sister next to me, "How many of the people who open Gundams have attended party schools?"

Sister glanced at me secretly and said to the Pope: "The Emperor will go to another space parallel to the real world to resolve the battle, and we will also withdraw including the last garrison here. Do you understand?"

Since the upcoming battle is not trivial, Sandora wants us to have the highest success rate, so any unit is indispensable. We estimate that once the shadow space is breached, the Revenge Army will immediately return to defend its nest. xue, so after we completely leave the real space, this place may become a safer place than now, but we know this, the people of Mobrado don’t know, how to appease everyone, it depends on the Pope, I hope he will not let We are disappointed.

"Don't worry, Mobrados have indeed been peaceful for too long, but mortals can always adapt to the environment quickly. I think they have the most basic awareness now."

The Holy Pope bowed to us without any expression, "The strength of the Sage Fleet has allowed them to find new support, and I am trying to use another thing to stimulate the blood of the next generation, such as religion and jihad." We only need to slightly change the religious propaganda we have been carrying out, and the effect will appear in one or two generations at most. I have selected a few 'saints' as the front desk..."

"That's your business, don't report such trivial details to me. {xiaoshuoyd/.com first text}" Shandora waved her hand, letting the Pope swallow the second half of the sentence, "In short, you are a little more qualified now Maybe I will consider giving you a make-up exam opportunity. We will let some servants of the Civilized Community stay to protect this star system. They are one of the best and bravest warriors in the empire. However, the enemy launched an attack here after we left. The chance is already extremely slim, so I’ll just give you some psychological comfort.”

"Thank you for your grace." The Pope bowed slightly in greeting. Seeing that we had nothing else to do, he consciously left the bridge. A moment later, we saw a dozen Mobrado ships on the holographic projection. The sampan sped away from the Imperial fleet.

"Finally some progress." Sandora glanced at the holographic projection, and then switched the screen on the officer's platform to another scene.

The images of Milia and Bubbles appeared on the screen. Both of them are currently floating in the crystal prism. The former still looks curious and wandering around, while the latter has his eyes closed and seems to be sleeping. Behind them is the vastness. In the silver-white room, a large number of crystal prisms were scattered in an orderly manner not far behind them: that was the entire Xiling host array.

"How do you feel?" I smiled and asked the blond girl looking around in the middle of the screen.

"It's so magical." Milia knocked on the crystal barrier in front of her. "It seems that the mind is divided into two parts. One part is in this pillar, and the other part has expanded to an unknown place. There are crystal grids everywhere."

"The servo support module of the host array, Milia's core consciousness has been extended there." Sandora explained in a low voice.

I nodded and looked at another picture in front of me: it was an extremely huge Xiling Mother Nest. It can be said that in addition to its normal shape, its size has exceeded the necessary specifications for a mother nest. This building is towering On a smooth iron-gray ground, surrounded by a large number of ancillary facilities floating with ghostly energy patterns, the building seemed to be immersed in some very thick liquid, giving people the feeling of an undersea building.

At the far end of the screen, where the iron-gray smooth ground extends to the end, is a giant sphere with one-third exposed. It has a smooth surface and is covered with a beautiful blue shield. It itself also exudes The bright blue light is like a giant blue sun rising from the horizon, which is Crystal Peak.

As for the previous giant Xiling Mother Nest, it is where Milia and Bubble are now.

The method Tavel found to open the shadow space is based on the interconnection between those containers. We have confirmed that the black metal box is actually a high-speed information interface that simulates the host's chā slot. The process of Milia's transmission through these boxes In fact, it is the process of turning yourself into a compressed package and uploading it, so these containers are connected. After scanning the code of the container, we guessed that there should be at least one additional container, and it is in the hands of the Revenge Army. Facts have proved This guess is correct: both containers have an extra information channel, constantly sending intelligence to a mysterious information port, and the information returned from the other end of this information port is different from the probe we put into the shadow space before. The information returned by the needle is consistent.

The third container is in shadow space.

The data stored in Milia's core can activate these channels. At that time, the container in the shadow space will act as an information collection device, sending us the real-time spatial coordinates of the other end. These coordinates are the same as the coordinates stored by Milia. By comparing the directions, we will obtain the landing landmark and shadow space entry password of the Revenge Army's lair. As for the Revenge Army, I am afraid that the box on hand will be destroyed as soon as we start teleportation, but that doesn’t matter. Anyway, we only need a forty-eight-hour teleportation period. Even if the container in the shadow space is destroyed, Milly Ya helped calculate, and it was very easy to deduce the void drift of the shadow space in the next forty-eight hours.

Obviously Milia herself cannot go to the shadow space. This is too dangerous, because she must stay connected to the nearest container when "running". The two boxes we have on hand are placed at the bottom of the host chā slot we specially made for her. And if she is allowed to enter the shadow space with the Imperial fleet, there is a one-third chance that she will be uploaded to the third container, which is the headquarters of the Revenge Army - no one dares to take this risk. Therefore, she and Bubble will stay in the real space, and that huge building is the working place of the two people and a large group of Xiling host parallel matrices in the real space.

The core of the Misty Star is a metal core that is smaller than the Earth, but has an astonishing density. It has been transformed by imperial technicians into a Xiling host support facility containing a large number of servo arrays, and the giant mother nest is built in the north of this star core. on the magnetic pole. Less than 10,000 kilometers away from the star core is the crystal peak that has sunk to the "seabed". This special service star battleship will serve as a secondary servo array and amplification antenna after the Mist Star Core to output Milia. The shadow space information is distributed to all imperial spaceships - you know, we still have a celestial system fleet waiting to jump, and it is not easy for that thing to enter the shadow space.

Someone must have discovered that the weakest link in the entire plan is the security issue on Milia's side: she is responsible for maintaining the transmission channel in the real world. Once an accident occurs here, the channel will be completely closed, and the shadow space and the real universe will be closed. The last connection between us is over, and we will be locked in another world, and even be destroyed along with that world.

Sending a large number of imperial fleets to protect the Misty Planet was a direct solution, but I quickly rejected it because when the enemy made a crazy counterattack, a group of escort spaceships could not guarantee absolute safety, and our fleets were already small in number. Halfway out, we won't have to fight in the shadow space. In the end, Sandora and I felt that as long as we could save the nest at the last moment, we used elite power to protect the core of the Misty Star. That's Cicaro's group...

You have to admit that even though that guy is a stubborn city buster, he is really very professional at being a bodyguard. He can use his biceps to resist the main cannon of the Galaxy, and he can even carry a Genesis after the explosion—— We won’t say how long it will take to stay in the repair center afterwards, but it’s really bearable.

We also kept Ilson as insurance. After helping out in the urban management team for a few days, the 123 guy developed a deep "enemy friendship" with Cicaro. They each wanted to smash the other's head. Go into the ground, after all, handsome men are born enemies. Even though one is a vicissitudes man and the other is a handsome god of war, the two still regard each other as natural enemies in every sense. It is not easy for them to cooperate. Easy, Monina paid a punch and I paid a certain red and white punch.

In short, the safety of the giant brood nest is finally guaranteed. Even if the Misty Star fails, we will have enough buffer time to withdraw from the shadow space. And the enemy may not necessarily launch an attack here: the possibility of them finding information leaks in a short period of time is not high.

In addition, there is a small group of "people" left in the real space, a group of Gensokyo monsters who were forcibly blocked when they came here and were unable to drive them away in the end - I don't know whether they are not afraid of death or have no regard for the war in the universe. No idea. After the guys who had entered Azeroth were kicked back, they were unwilling to go back. I was afraid that something would happen to them in the shadow space, so I forcibly stayed at the Mist Star Outpost and left them behind. By teleporting, they can run back to Avalon once this place is really attacked. I hope these weird guys can save me some trouble.

"Parallel processing of preset data is normal and can be started at any time. The downstream host is ready to connect."

Bubble's report interrupted my wandering - I used to call that thinking. I found that the screen had darkened at some point, and the servo array composed of the Xiling host became the only thing left in the hall in the screen. Light Source: Teleportation has begun.

The shadow space transmission coordinates and cracking codes were uploaded to all imperial warships. Then, countless spaceships were like ghosts gradually disappearing in the dark night, erasing their figures from real space.

At the last moment when I separated from the main material plane, I repeated to Milia again: "Remember, you only have forty-eight hours. When the time is up, you will pull us back regardless of whether we have sent a return signal or not."

Amidst the suddenly stronger interference, Milia's blurry image nodded, and then our last direct connection with the main material plane was interrupted: from now on, all bandwidth between the Imperial fleet and the surface world will be completely lost. For the shadow channel, Milia and the Xiling hosts will ensure that the shadow space will no longer drift in the next forty-eight hours. Otherwise, the Emperor will be trapped in this world together with the Revenge Army.

"It looks no different from the outside."

Looking at the quiet and deep cosmic space on the star map, Qian Qian whispered.

"Because it's completely showing the shadow of the universe," Sister-sama took a deep breath, "The scene here should be your territory in the old empire, right?"

Her last words were said to Sandora, who nodded. Before setting off, she still had a somewhat sad look on her face, but now she has become completely indifferent: "According to the star map, there should be a small golden base light here. Near the dust mass, there should be a deep space city in the standard direction of n77e65. It is a large-scale production..."

The probe that went to investigate the situation discovered the deep space city almost as soon as Sandora finished speaking, but the images returned showed that it was already in ruins.

Sandora just sighed and ordered the royal fleet to start converging with the celestial system fleet.

The celestial system fleet also successfully entered the shadow space. The stellar fortress whose mere existence is enough to distort the normal laws of the universe would not have been able to enter "another world" so easily. However, the shadow space is a special world. It is built on a bunch of Based on the accumulation of information from the surface world, the unique physical disturbance of the psionic Death Star to the surface world will be suppressed to a minimum here, which unintentionally gives us a lot of benefits. The celestial system fleet has corrected its coordinates when it "sinked" into the shadow space. It was more than ten light years away from us before the transmission, but it was only thirty astronomical units away from us after the transmission. This is The limit of what Tavel can do. Through the fleet's outdoor survey, we can directly observe the celestial system fleet with our naked eyes without magnifying the image: in the deep space, it looks like a bright blue ball.

Thirty planetary battleships are emerging from the "vacuum" storage compartment of the psionic Death Star, so they cannot be observed yet.

The two fleets merged very smoothly, and it took less than a moment to reach this distance. It was a pity that the Revenge Army failed to seize this opportunity to launch an interception: of course, the other party may not have reacted yet.

After the two forces merged, the Royal Fleet's spacecraft was parked on the second level of the planetary defense circle, advancing together with the entire celestial system fleet above the high orbit of the "Teldrassil" planetary battleship. The unique and unique charm of the civilized community The Hun fleet and the combined fleet of the New Eden Federation advanced together with the star battleship along a very special orbit perpendicular to the equator. Together with the royal fleet serving as the main escort of the star battleship, a three-dimensional defense was formed. net. There are similar escort arrays over dozens of other planet battleships: the Imperial spacecraft orbits in a high orbit that is basically parallel to the equator, and the servant army runs in a path perpendicular to this orbit. This is a test of various ways to cooperate with the planet battleships. The combat plan was widely accepted after that. Facts have proved that we can save a lot of energy by using the gravitational orbit of the star battleship.

A large number of ultra-high-speed probes broke away from the mount bay of the Digger-type special service ship (a reconnaissance ship converted from the expedition-class skeleton) like a swarm, and disappeared into space in a swarm. Immediately, the originally ambiguous shadows on the star map appeared. The space map, centered on the Imperial fleet, suddenly became clear like a car glass wiped by a windshield wiper.

Then, we discovered two things in total. The first one was a giant building nineteen light-years ahead. The cháo of information generated near it made people cheer: we found the control core of the shadow space immediately. . As for the second thing...

It was overwhelming intercepting firepower.
