Chapter 972 The Magical “Replicant”?
Before this, I was curious about a question: How powerful is the escaped experimental subject? Is it worthy for the emperor named Harlan to send more than half of his remaining troops to hunt down, and even lead to the defense of several of his border worlds being empty? Was the emperor's defense easily broken? No matter how you look at it, our actions went too smoothly. The three scientific research worlds located on the border almost without any suspense suffered a heavy blow from the emperor. Yes, I admit, these three universes suffered very serious trauma. , the void rift that penetrated time and space caused the local garrison to transfer most of their energy from defense facilities to mathematical rate modification equipment to desperately mend the rift, so our three squadrons could successfully destroy the remaining scientific research centers in these worlds, but It is undeniable that the emperor's actions are still a little too smooth. The resistance we encountered was less than half of what was expected, and basically came from fixed sentries. The always cunning fallen apostle did not even have enough arrangements near his lair. If it didn't actually happen, I would never believe it.
Now the situation seems to be clear at a glance, Harlan sent half of his army (I am afraid that this half of the army was pieced together after the encounter in the ruined world, because all signs show that these spaceships are particularly new - not the same as ours) The Sixth Fleet (as new as the Sixth Fleet) was forced to do so, because that magical runaway experimental subject turned out to be - leading a rather large fleet away.
That's right, when the imperial fleet maintained the highest intensity of stealth mode and cautiously approached the best shooting point, and raided the fallen apostles by the way, the picture returned by the scanning probe turned out to be two fallen apostle fleets at a distance of 200,000 kilometers. Confrontation from afar.
Oh, for the mother ship's guns, maybe we should say a close confrontation.
"Who are they..." Looking at the two fleets on the radar screen, it was obvious that their brains might be blown out in the next second, Sandora covered her head in pain, "Arjun, your clone is really weird. , now I can be so sure.”
"The mobility is beyond imagination." Lin Xue's voice came from behind.
"Didn't you go back to rest?" I looked at the eldest lady standing behind me in surprise. Her face was not very good, but she was a little more energetic than before. It seemed that the mysterious interference was still there, but it was not big. The lady is almost getting used to it...
The eldest lady was in a bad mood as if she had woken up: "I was restless and had all kinds of bad intuitions. Lying there, I saw some weird scenes like I had watched a movie. It was like dreaming about Silent Hill. If it were you, could you sleep?" Up?"
"Okay, then take a look, among the two groups in front, who was captured and who escaped?"
I spread my hands and gestured with my chin to the two abyssal fleets on the holographic projection.
Exactly the same ship type, 100% the same array, and the same paint job as a mirror. Except for a slight difference in quantity, these two forces are almost twin brothers. Of course, that little difference in quantity is not enough to make us Another reason that causes huge trouble in determining who is the escaper and who is the pursuer is that both fleets have implemented communication control, because the two fleets may have been in the same camp not long ago, and they will decipher each other's communications. It is extremely simple, so the commanders of the two fleets wisely limited the communication between the spacecraft. Perhaps the only way for the two abyssal fleets to communicate internally is the spiritual link of their respective crews - this thing cannot be intercepted.
In all the monitoring channels, the two fallen apostle legions in the confrontation were absolutely silent.
So facing these two black and red fleets who looked at each other in the mirror almost silently, all of us went a little crazy.
Lin Xue glanced at the screen and immediately rubbed her forehead in distress: "Don't count on me. I don't know what's going on. The interference is very strong now. That annoying replicant seems to be a very special guy. As long as I try to analyze and follow.' It's related intelligence is a bunch of interference if you're not careful, and now our distance is too close, I can't see anything."
Qian Qian suddenly murmured: "...Ajun...how did you do that clone..."
I know she is referring to why an escaped experimental subject actually pulled up such a large fallen apostle battleship. what does that mean? This means that the magical guy rebelled against a legion! He instigated the rebellion of a legion composed of Xiling apostles! Yes, those Xiling apostles have gone crazy. They have become cunning and cruel, as neurotic as if they had taken more than 40 kilograms of ecstasy, and they are very interested in destroying everything, but this is not the reason why they can be incited to rebel, even if He is a fallen apostle, and his loyalty is impeccable. But now, half of the army of the unlucky emperor named Harlan has been instigated to rebel...
My sister said quietly: "We killed most of the main force during the encounter in the ruined world. Before we could take a breath, we encountered a test accident. The rampaging experimental subjects destroyed many spaceships, and then several garrisons from the scientific world were also killed. They were crippled, and in the end, half of the remaining surviving troops were incited to rebel. For the first time, I discovered that someone could be so unlucky without a curse. The emperor named Harlan... How about we take this opportunity to kill his base camp directly? Bar?"
Of course, no one took it seriously. Perhaps the emperor named Harlan had lost a lot of energy due to a series of unfortunate accidents, but there was the entire camp of fallen apostles behind him. This was a hornet's nest, and now was not the time to poke it.
The two groups of fallen apostle fleets in the confrontation are not much different in strength, so their commanders are extremely cautious. The distance of 200,000 kilometers is an incredible distance for any weapon on the earth, but for psionic energy For a naval gun, it can hit directly at this distance without even using a hyperspace strike. The two groups chose very similar tactics: the large spaceship was in front to form a powerful joint shield, and the small warship was constantly jumping behind the array to change formations. In order to disrupt the opponent's direct-aiming radar, the purpose of this is to allow a small number of light fighters to sneak around to the edge of the battlefield to lay gravity traps or other hidden mines. This universe with a dark red spectrum seems to be filled with a thin air. air mass, so even though the joint shield formed by the mothership flashes like a planet, it is impossible to observe the fleets with the naked eye. However, just the radar view and the scanned formation are enough to make people feel that tense. The atmosphere is always on the brain.
No one knows when they will break the deadlock. In fact, the Imperial Fleet now has a second option to change the situation, that is, we suddenly come out of hiding and see who of the two groups of abyssal spaceships fires first to decide which one to beat first. But I didn’t dare to speak out about this idea. Anyone with an IQ higher than the desktop should think it is a bad idea, although it can indeed open up the situation...
My sister was just guessing that if the identities of the two fleets could be determined, then if the emperor attacked the fallen apostles, the out-of-control copy would temporarily stand on our side. After hearing this, I admit that this is a very tempting idea. Hypothesis, but no one is willing to take the risk. In this environment, the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend, especially since they all have abyssal reactions - I don't know if my clones also have abyssal reactions. But "it" brought an entire army of half an abyss fleet. Perhaps this experimental subject hates the fallen apostles who use him as a tool, but this does not mean that "it" is not a member of the abyss camp. I do not expect the other party to calmly jump from one group of controllers to another. In the hands of the reader: Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, the new empire and the fallen apostle are the same thing. After all, "it" has just been born, and everything it knows has a negative impact.
But just when I thought the stalemate would continue for a while, one of the abyss fleets in the confrontation suddenly made a move. Their small and medium-sized spacecraft suddenly formed a very neat formation, and some of the spacecraft turned off their lights. Some of them started to flash their left lights desperately to indicate that they wanted to overtake... I have to admit, this scene is too strange.
Of course, another abyssal fleet discovered this unusual scene. They thought the enemy was about to launch an attack and hurriedly took action. However, just when they almost changed their formation, they discovered that the opponent who took action first was just arrayed and flashing lights. That's all, so the collective suddenly stopped in place in shock.
We were also shocked because we discovered that the fleet that suddenly changed its formation and frequently flashed lights actually arranged its spaceships into a huge LCD screen, with the lights on it forming regular symbols!
"Oracle bone inscriptions! Ah Jun, it's oracle bone inscriptions! There are also large seal scripts and inscriptions! There are also cuneiform characters!"
Qianqian happily grabbed my arm and swung it around. She was no longer dozing off at this time, because this girl saw something that she had been familiar with since she was a child - ancient human writing. Don't forget what Uncle Xu does. Qianqian's father started digging ancestral graves thirty years ago, and it is said that he even dug the ancestral graves of foreigners. Under the influence of his father-in-law, his grades in various subjects were frequently good. Deng Qianqian is particularly extraordinary in ancient culture. It is said that she can write her name in hieroglyphs before she can recognize the numbers from one to nine. Xu's father usually writes notes to her in oracle bones to communicate - —Tell me how powerful this is.
The behavior of the fleet that is performing strange actions and using the fleet as a symbol to mark out the screen - we temporarily call it the No. 1 Fleet - confuses its enemies. Perhaps this makes the latter mistakenly believe that the purpose of the No. 1 Fleet is Tempting herself to take action first, the spaceship on the opposite side became more cautious. At this time, Qianqian was simultaneously translating to us what the symbols printed by Fleet No. 1 meant:
"…'The opposite side is a group of idiots,'" Qianqian explained while looking at the screen. "There is no word idiot in the Oracle, so it was translated using cuneiform characters. The next sentence came out...' They looked You don't understand these ancient characters', and the next sentence is, 'These Sun Tzu's flanks are empty, look for the right time to attack them after the battle begins', 'I will give you an identification code, do not attack the spacecraft with this identification code after the war begins, I finally got it They bring it out', 'The identification code is a motto'."
As soon as Qian Qian finished translating, the intelligence officer reported receiving a highly encrypted text message from those abyssal spaceships. The text message was indeed a motto: Mussolini, you are a fool - Hitler's last words.
And with a dash! !
Everyone was confused by this weird development. It was very obvious that the weird behavior of the No. 1 Fleet was actually for the emperor to see. They formed a display screen in space and blatantly wrote subtitles. The reason was corruption. The apostles cannot understand the ancient hieroglyphs on the earth - because the fallen apostles have never studied this kind of thing. There is no doubt now. If the escaped experimental subject is in one of the two fleets, it is definitely Fleet No. 1, although no one can tell why: why "it" knows hieroglyphics, why "it" knows the Emperor is here, and why "it" seems to be very familiar with us and Earth's civilization. .
"Power level increase detected!"
The prompts from the ship's host computer sounded on the bridge, and the two fleets in the confrontation finally broke the silence. The first shot was fired by the group of subtitlers who acted very strangely.
The dense black-red energy beam spanned a distance of 200,000 kilometers in an instant and hit the fallen apostle's joint shield.
When both sides are fully aware of each other and have been prepared for it, and their own side is still slightly inferior in numbers, firing the first shot is an extremely risky behavior. No normal commander would do this, which means that you will be next The enemy's long-awaited counterattack is met with a sluggish body in one second. The situation that any medium-sized or above starship must face is: when your main gun completes a salvo, the shield strength and reaction speed of the spacecraft itself It will inevitably drop a little, unless you leave that huge energy reserve unused and only use the secondary guns when attacking.
The two fleets began to exchange fire instantly. The dense main gun salvos pierced the dark red haze in the space. Even the fragile space began to become unstable. The huge space battleship began to turn and maneuver at a speed that did not fit its shape. , adjusting their positions in clusters, leaving pieces of fragmented space where they originally were. Micro wormholes and mass cracks filled the dark space like spider webs. This gave us who were watching the battle A reminder: when fighting in the territory of the Fallen Apostles, it is best to move yourself at all times. Their world is built on debris, and the stability is not very good.
"Well, it looks like this isn't a prank."
Shandora looked at the holographic projection on the officer's platform, "Half of the spaceships on both sides of the fire are shouting that Mussolini is a fool, and in the name of Hitler - that neurotic replicator is serious."
I feel deeply sad. I feel sad for the fascist leader who has been dead for many years. He was shot while lying down, but he was shot by nearly 10,000 large, medium and small space battleships. Those guys who were shot in the knee by arrows can now rest in peace. Well, there is another person here who was hanged on top of his body in another universe and whipped to death after being dead for decades. Do you still feel hurt compared to this guy?
Nearly ten thousand spaceships charged and opened fire while whipping Mussolini's body. This scene is very darkly humorous, and we need to make a decision: Should we follow the other party's request and help kill the other half? Do you think Mussolini is a fool? fleet?
"The flanks of the fallen apostles are indeed weak. They never imagined that with the help of the prophet, the emperor had already ambushed the universe in advance, so they were completely arranged in a pursuit formation." Sandora pointed to the radar view in a state of laughter and tears, "A few minutes The future will be the golden opportunity for us to attack, Arjun, what do you think? That is your clone, do you think it is reliable?"
Well, I don’t know what my clone thinks. In fact, at first I thought that if I got close enough to the clone, I would have the legendary telepathy or something like that, but it turns out that it’s so I didn't even feel the hair in the near future, so I don't know why the other party would take such strange actions, but this does not affect my decision to cooperate -
"The main gun began to recharge slowly, and the super-heavy stealth bombardment slowly circled behind the enemy. It seems that the army led by the clone can entangle the enemy for a long time. We must strive to kill it with one hit."
This is a tactic I can come up with, but in this chaotic situation where the enemy is exposed and we are hidden, in fact, there is no need for too clever tactics. The front-line commanders will take care of everything on the local battlefield. I only need to tell They can end the battle in any way they want. While the ships of the Royal Fleet slowly dispersed in a hidden state, I nodded to Sandora: "Actually, I particularly want to know - how a replicator who came out of the laboratory of the fallen apostle could write Oracle. And he knew Mussolini was a fool."
Sandora turned her head silently, her shoulders twitching.
The front-line commanders were waiting for the opportunity cautiously, because both sides in the war were still in the trial stage. The rebels led by the clones (I think it can be called that now - for the fallen apostles, it was a rebel army ) Although the number is slightly smaller, and the active attack also loses a lot of advantages, it is a large fleet after all. On a battlefield where the situation on both sides is almost completely transparent, unless you have an absolute advantage or have a sure trump card, you can fight steadily. Fighting is the only smart choice, and although the "weird behavior" of the rebels previously confused the fallen apostle, it also made the latter highly vigilant - a considerable number of main battleships did not leave their positions, and the close-in defense guns of these battleships Covering two-thirds of their flanks and rear, the emperor's heavy concealed bombardment had to patrol outside this range, otherwise they would be exposed once they launched an attack, and it would be possible to wipe them out instantly: that kind of The defense of the spaceship is not very good.
"If we don't attack, Pandora and Viska will have circled three hundred times." Sandora pointed at the holographic image with her chin, on which two small sesame-like bright spots could be seen hanging behind the fallen apostle fleet. Going around in circles, the two little lunatics also brought a big killer this time - the five Olympic rings drawn by my sister on weekdays. Each of them had a hundred pictures, and if they were thrown out, they would not survive.
At this moment, the situation broke again, and it was the rebels who broke the situation - several of their giant aircraft carriers suddenly broke away from the protection of the battle group, and their whole bodies glowed with intense blue light. This was to forcefully break through the gravitational trap. , a sign of jumping into the void!
Suddenly, the fallen apostles finally became anxious. They could not just watch the fugitive leave this world. You must know that in order to capture the other party, they allowed three scientific research worlds to be massacred by the emperor! This price is enough to prove the importance of that artificial void creature!
The high-speed spaceships of the Fallen Apostles immediately broke away from the formation and rushed forward. All the heavy spaceships accelerated while preparing their main guns. In order to increase the efficiency of the artillery fire, their flanks and rearguards began to separate from the formation.
At this moment, violent explosions continued behind the fallen apostles and at the border of the fleet.
The sudden attack caused the formation of the fallen apostles to become slightly chaotic. They began to release powerful energy pulses. In a burst of blue light, gray-black battleships that looked like rickety seeds emerged from the darkness. These ferocious and weird battleships They are the culprits of the explosion. They are famous for their extremely large yield and slow-speed space-shrinking mines, and they have a name that is much more eye-catching than their wretched figures: heavy concealed bombers, or heavy concealed bombers for short, or heavy concealed bombers for short. --boom!
Obviously this is both a noun and an adjective...
The Imperial Admiral received another encrypted text message, again from the magical replicator: "Hey mom, I'm ready to take action. I've got white hair on my forehead... Go back and prepare some delicious food for me." It’s shocking.”
Everyone: "..."
The entire bridge fell eerily silent.
