Chapter 1020 A Confrontation Without Gunfire

"How much do we know about the enemy?"

After talking about the Astra Militarum, Ryan talked about another more important military matter.

Adam snapped his fingers, and the tactical table immediately presented what they needed to know according to his intention, that is, a direct display of information about the enemy.

All the information on it came from the celestial engine.

This symbol of the void armed forces of the Talon star zone, the spiritual totem of the military fans of the entire star zone, and the product of unimaginable miracle engineering, has not been completely undeveloped in these years.

In addition to the existing solar engine and planetary engine, the celestial engine also has four new artificial planet-level celestial bodies, as well as the satellites that these four artificial planets should have.

There is an insight engine covered with information detection arrays, and the three artificial satellites surrounding it are covered with signal amplification devices to send detection waves thousands of light years away.

There is a super-fast light engine with hundreds of super-light field generators as huge as mountains, a logistics world dedicated to supplying the navy and the army, and a material engine that can directly control some physical laws like a star god.

The two original Star God fragments are now imprisoned in the solar engine, responsible for providing energy for the entire celestial engine system. After all, the application technology of Star God fragment energy has made rapid progress over the years.

The Insight Engine, which is running all the time, releases directional detection waves across thousands of light years. If this detection wave is not distorted and hidden by the material engine, it is enough to kill all carbon-based creatures in a fleet when passing through a close-range fleet.

How many worlds are there along the way of the detection wave, how many resources and population are there in the world, these massive information from macro to micro can be collected and processed, and the Necrons, a race that relies heavily on matter, will inevitably be detected.

The Lord of the First Legion looked at the information collection results presented on the tactical table with surprise.

To Ryan's surprise, the Necrons, who seemed clumsy in tactics, did not concentrate most of their forces where they wanted to attack, but dispersed outside the front-line war zone divided by Guilliman.

The scanning results of the insight engine are real-time. When the Necrons are mobilizing their forces, even a transport ship rushing to the front line and how many Necrons are in the transport ship, as well as which star system and world these Necrons are deployed in outside the war zone can be seen.

If Ryan had to find fault with this information collection method, he could only find a single flaw: "Why do the skeletons mobilized to the front line appear directly where they want to go as if they were teleported? The troop mobilization process was directly skipped."

"Because they know we are watching them with the insight engine." Gray replied, "They use pocket dimensions to mobilize troops, which is why we see the enemy's troops teleporting."

"Is the pocket dimension undetectable?" Ryan asked curiously.

"It's not that it's undetectable, nor that it's impossible to interfere. We can even use the material engine to close a pocket dimension and let all the skeletons die inside it."

Gray shook his head, then pointed to a teleported Necron transport ship in the star map presented on the tactical table.

"The material engine is constantly closing these pocket dimensions as we speak, but no skeleton has died because of it."

"They are very experienced. They have been creating and crushing pocket dimensions from the beginning, and then the troops mobilized by pocket dimension technology can shuttle thousands of times in thousands of created pocket dimensions at a high frequency in one second. This is how to deal with our detection and interference."

Gray told Ryan the complicated reasons he heard from the researchers in the most simple and understandable way possible.

After listening, Ryan looked at Azriel on the side: "Do you understand?"

"Hmm?" Azriel, who was not sure what he was thinking, raised his head.

Ryan smiled and retracted his gaze, looking at the deployment of the undead and sighed: "It's not that I can't understand the means of the skeletons to deal with the material engine, but I can't imagine how to create thousands of pocket dimensions, and shuttle thousands of times a second in these dimensions that should be isolated from each other. Even if there is only one of those ghost things, it will be easy for me to find it."

"Pocket dimensions evade detection is nothing. Their more powerful trick is to directly use pocket dimensions to raid us, just like they can do with psychic means, jumping out from the shadows or some corners to give us a knife." Gray said.

Ryan looked around suspiciously: "Then why didn't they appear here and behead us?"

"Because the main control intelligence in the flagship is automatically searching for all abnormalities around our current spatial coordinates. If there is a tear and leakage at a certain location near the coordinate point of the main dimension of the real universe where we are, the material engine will be blocked."

After speaking, Gray turned back to look at the crew in the bridge who was responsible for monitoring data.

"While I am talking now, how many times has the material engine been blocked?" Gray asked.

The crew member directly connected to the ship immediately replied: "Two hundred and fourteen thousand nine hundred and seven times."

Gray looked back at Ryan, shrugged and tilted his head.

"Damn it." Ryan touched his beard on his chin, his face solemn, "I thought everything was calm before our formal confrontation, but now we are fighting. Is your main control intelligence computing power enough? There is an abomination intelligence on my flagship, which can use psychic technology to supply infinite computing power in the past and the future at the same time. If it comes in handy..."

"Try not to use psychic technology." Gray replied, "Although our enemies are not good at psychic technology, they will use it. It is enough to use it against our psychic technology instead of against the ancient saints or the ancient elf empire."

"How can these skeletons use psychic power?"

Azrael, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked.

The former Dark Angels commander who was promoted to the legion leader thought of his close friend and subordinate Ezekiel. Ezekiel believed that his psychic power could help the father of genes in the next war, so Azrael asked this question subconsciously.

"They can't generate psychic energy, but perhaps they have obtained spoils from the ancient saints and the ancient elves." Gray looked at Azrael, "You can think of our enemies as the dark relatives of the Eldar in the Battle of Commorros. They don't use psychic energy, but the psychic devices in their hands can be used directly, which is much more useful than psychics."

After speaking, Gray stared at the tactical table for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, the opponent's use of psychic energy is only for self-defense, and now the Eye of Terror is closed again... This is still a war on the material level."

"As long as the enemy can understand it with common sense, there is nothing to worry about."

Lian pointed to the New Orpheus star zone that was included in the war zone.

"I propose to take the initiative to attack. This is a dangerous act, but I can profile the enemy commander at the military command level with a confrontation, and then speculate what they will do next."

"As long as the supplies you have transported to the war zone in advance are in place, and the initiative attack is not good, we can hold on until all the follow-up troops arrive at the front line."
