Chapter 1003: The Power of the Ruins (Part 2)
(Happy Lantern Festival everyone, don’t just remember to give gifts to your mother-in-law, save some for me anyway, so what... Spiritual wealth is as important as physical enjoyment.)
"Is this the real power of the Ypsilon ruins?" He recalled seeing the Ypsilon jump relay station using a sneak attack to send the Southern Cross Fleet, Kaleidoscope Fleet, Ryujo Fleet, Shadow Fleet, Jin The video data of the Ring Fleet's defeat in the blink of an eye, but compared with the scene in front of it, it is nothing at all. Although there are only more than 2,000 warships here, even if there are a few more 2,000 ships, they will still be swallowed by the huge gravity well built by the tiankeng.
When he lamented that the Epsilon technology was difficult to defeat, the phantom that fell into the ruins at the forefront, and the remaining warships of the Golden Ring Fleet were cut and dismembered under the influence of invisible tidal forces, turning into scattered warship fragments.
Woolf glanced at the big screen No. 3, saluted the Quetzalcoatl, which was struggling to survive, and then gave new orders to the front staff.
After a few breaths, a glare of light was released from the jet-black hull of the Gravedigger, followed by the second, third, and fourth... Finally, accompanied by a mass of brilliance sweeping across the darkness, Woolf and his The battleship was annihilated under the vast starry sky.
The fall of the Gravedigger had a great psychological impact on those soldiers of the Hydra Legion who were still struggling... This was only a secondary factor, the key point was that its explosion actually weakened the suction of the gravity well of the sinkhole in the nearby airspace.
Even so, the fifth-generation warships of the Monya Empire still have no way to escape the shackles of gravity.
They can't get rid of it, which doesn't mean that the Feathered Serpent can't get rid of it either... Wulf didn't do this to save those in the Hydra Legion, he was only responsible for the 13th prince.
The threaded light vortex on the surface of the feathered serpent's wings that has been deployed rotates rapidly, and the diffused light is extremely dazzling. A series of energy patterns radiate outward from the surface of the light vortex, forming polygonal grids one after another, and then crystallize and become transparent. It is extremely transparent, and you can see the orange light flowing deep in the wing structure.
On the second floor of the bridge, the black leather shoes had already fallen on the red carpet, and the expression of the thirteenth prince was no longer as calm as before. Rockefeller looked sideways at the big screen in front of him, a lot of beads of sweat appeared on his temples, some of which gathered into a stream and wet his military uniform.
The only thing that has not changed is that the three maids kneeling in front of the sofa bed did not show any fear of the crisis facing the Feathered Serpent. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness the 13th Prince has no energy to train them and tell them that human beings are in danger when they encounter danger. What kind of facial expressions and psychological changes will occur from time to time.
Now Rockefeller's mentality can only be described by the word "sincerity and fear". I don't understand what happened. How could the tiankeng suddenly produce a suction force that buried more than 2,700 warships in the abyss? Didn't Bridge say that just now? Received Church's subpoena, is there a mess below the speech? Could it be...are they lying? Lying to be able to get rescued?
It's a pity that Bridge and others have been buried in the sinkhole with the Magic Wolf.
No further opportunity to testify.
He felt wronged and resentful at the same time, wronged by fate, and resented God. He always thought of himself as a smart man, smarter than many fleet commanders. Both resourceful and politically sensitive. Belek, who used invisible means before, had no temper, but later he was highly valued by His Royal Highness the 13th Prince, which fully proved his worth.
But why did fate treat him like this? At the beginning, the asteroid belt outside the wandering planet was used to create meteorite rain, which was undoubtedly a disaster for the Covenant Navy on the ground. However, in the end, the asteroid storm broke out suddenly, and it was the Phantom who suffered the disaster. Fleet and the Golden Ring Fleet.
Now he has drawn up an excellent method for His Royal Highness to gain the support of the Ipsi Dragons. How could he know that things have deviated from the track again, and this time the loss is greater than last time. He also ended up with no bones left. It's like... It's like he is a broom star, those seemingly brilliant schemes will always hurt his own people.
Facing such a fate, how could he not be wronged, how could he not be resentful. As the old saying goes, gold always shines, but his experience proves that what is golden is not necessarily gold, it may also be a bowl of heat.
Now he is on the Feathered Serpent, and in front of him is His Royal Highness the 13th Prince Halifax. He dare not express his distress, and he does not have the guts to scold God. He still hopes that he can leave this place alive. Although the combat operation failed, the relics were not obtained, and the Phantom Fleet was pitted to the bottom, completely turning into a polished commander and a loser. However, the loss of the warships under the Hydra Legion was even greater, which was enough to cover up his incompetence, and he was very sure that a person as proud as the 13th prince would not push all the responsibility for failure on him like shameless politicians. Be a scapegoat.
He is a person with strong insight, and he can even be said to be a person with insight, but this kind of ingenuity is used to calculate others and seek personal gain for himself. Halifax did not intend to anger Rockefeller. His identity and pride prevented him from evading responsibility and failure like ordinary people.
His Royal Highness insisted that Rockefeller was a useful man and that the schemes were good. It's not their fault, it's fate... it's the difference in strength. The technological gap between human civilization and Epsilon civilization.
In his eyes, not only ti disease can be cured by technological means, it seems that this kind of failure is also related to the technological gap. He firmly believes that there are no problems in the world that cannot be solved by technology. If there are, it is only because the level of technology is not high enough.
The vast majority of people who admire science and believe in the power of technology have a rational and calm mind, knowing that at this moment, in the face of this crisis, it is useless to complain about the cruelty of fate, no matter what happened inside the Tiankeng The thing is, did Tang Fang defeat the Yipsi dragons to gain control of the ruins, or did the Yipsi dragons extend their hatred of Tang Fang to the entire human race, build a huge gravity well, and turned into monsters to swallow many people? There are more than 2,000 warships in the Deira Legion.
All in all, what he has to do now is to seize the opportunity that Wulf got in exchange for his sacrifice, leave here safely, and return to the Ptolemaic space station, so as not to become a prisoner of Tang Fang, or the dead soul of the Yipsi dragon.
Constructing a gravity well that radiates hundreds of thousands of kilometers is undoubtedly a very high-energy attack method. But the use of gravitational technology is not the patent of the Ipsilonians. Of course, gravitational weapons are still a relatively distant concept weapon for human civilization... except for the 13th prince, to be precise, except for the 13th prince who owns the Feathered Serpent.
The space shock caused by the explosion of the Gravedigger cannot dismantle the gravity well built by the wandering planets, just like the lake water stirred by a stone can distort the reflection on the surface, but cannot eliminate it. When the ripples go away, the reflection will return to the lake. That's not enough to gain start-up time for the warp drive, only McIntosh's Flaming Ambition might be able to leave with an engine advantage.
The Feathered Serpent's inability to take the opportunity to leave does not mean that the Feathered Serpent did not extend the time for the gravitational effect of the gravity well radiation to reach the hull. This relic warship was a gift from Kirklaf when he was in charge of the scientific research department of the Empire in Halifax. His Royal Highness does not know where his father got such a refitted relic warship, nor did he If you are interested in finding the answer, as long as it is usable, easy to use, and worthy of his status, that's all.
The wings spread out like the wings of an eagle turned into a crystal structure, and the light illuminated the surrounding airspace. Almost all the battleships in front have been sucked into the tiankeng, otherwise the detection system will definitely find strange interference patterns on the space-time curvature display.
When the two gravitational sources are very close, they will form a strong shock to the surrounding space-time structure. Of course, this will not offset the suction generated by the gravity well of the tiankeng, but it can stretch the surrounding space and slow down the gravitational effect on the Quetzalcoatl's hull time.
Visually speaking, it is like creating a huge downward channel on the plane where the wandering planet is located, and the Quetzalcoatl is located at the bottom of this huge channel, and the gravitational effect "walks" in the elongated space, and the distance is lengthened but the speed remains unchanged. Of course, it will prolong the time to reach the target. If it is replaced by a black hole, this huge channel may be infinitely elongated, and it may even be connected to the other end of the spherical universe from this end.
Of course, it is impossible for the Feathered Serpent to have the ability to create black holes. It is not a Dreadnaught Commander-class fortress ship, nor is it a star spirit mothership. Just like the starlight shield of the Angel and the mirror light system of the Mirror Light, this is just one of its ultimate defense methods --- to build a million or even tens of millions of kilometers outside the Quetzal Serpent to warp space for some very tricky situations.
Halifax is reluctant to use this defense unless absolutely necessary, because it resembles a death torture instrument and is a big eater. What you eat is zero element isotope, not ordinary zero element.
Obviously... a national power like the Monya Empire does not have the ability to smelt zero isotopes, so it is also deeply painful for people with the status of the 13th prince.
Just as the space distortion originating from the two wings was taking effect in the area behind the Feathered Serpent, in the airspace not far to the right of the battleship, a brilliance was born from nothingness, and the electric light was swimming in the air, and a battleship appeared.
The brilliance comes from the tail flame of the propeller, and the electric light comes from the high raised tail. From the appearance, it looks like a scorpion... It is indeed the famous Seraph under Captain Tang's command.
After the crew synchronized the images captured by the camera to the big screen on the bridge, Halifax, Rockefeller, and some staff members on the first floor were all stunned when they saw the warship that was in terrible condition.
The Seraphim and the Feathered Serpent are both relic battleships, but the former has a strange style, while the latter has a heroic appearance.
Today's Feathered Serpent had to use its trump card due to the influence of the gravity well of the wandering planet, and the Seraph's stealth effect was also destroyed by the rear gravity. Judging from the arc of the ship's swimming, I am afraid that it will suffer some damage.
Halifax and Rockefeller worked in a daze, the scorpion claw-shaped automatic cannon on the left front of the Seraphim turned sharply, and shot a cloud of projectiles towards the right wing of the Feathered Serpent, but was blocked by the silver shield that suddenly formed. Deals damage to the target. The attack was fruitless, the scorpion-shaped warship did not continue to fire, and the rear thrusters were full of light and fire, and suddenly turned into a black awn, disappeared in this universe, and escaped into the virtual space.
At the same time, the Feathered Serpent received a message from the disappearing warship, which was uploaded to the big screen on the bridge by the communications officer.
In the picture, Captain Tang smiled and expressed his admiration for Admiral Woolf's courage to sacrifice and fearless spirit of death. He hoped that His Royal Highness the 13th Prince could greet the admiral's family on his behalf, because there is no gravedigger Without the sacrifice of the Seraph, there was no scene of the Seraph breaking away from the gravity well of the wandering planet.
Of course, he is also grateful for the Feathered Serpent God. He was too excited for the shot just now. He accidentally pressed the wrong key and stabbed the savior. Since there is no problem, it is fine. I hope His Royal Highness will not take it to heart. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows long, the rivers and lakes are far away, and we will meet again in the future.
After hearing these words, Rockefeller was so angry that his heart ached and his liver trembled, wishing he could bite off his back molars.
He co-authored the Hydra Legion to build more than 2,000 warships in one go, which is equivalent to helping Captain Tang escape from the gravity well with the tiankeng as the source. Woolf died generously in order to save the 13 princes. His confidant was also rescued, and now that kid is still using this matter to run on them and say the above words.
If you accidentally press the wrong key, it's just farting. That guy just wanted to stab the Feathered Serpent from the back and leave them here, but found that the target was protected by a shield and couldn't be broken in a short time, so he left a disgusting remark, slapped his ass and ran away Now, is there anyone in the whole world who is more shameless and despicable than this kid?
He felt that his insidiousness was a galaxy far away from Captain Tang's shamelessness.
Rockefeller was not the recipient of the letter, and yet he was so angry, let alone the 13th prince, the rightful owner... Those words were provocative, sarcasm, and insult. The warships under the Hydra Legion, including the semi-relic warships such as the Gravedigger, plus the remaining ships of the Phantom Fleet and the Golden Ring Fleet, more than 2,700 warships, became the victims of Tang Fang's battle with the Ipsi Dragons.
He wanted to tell the aliens below, you made a mistake, I came to help you, but I was accidentally injured by the ruins, and I took so many powerful warships and so many elite soldiers in one go.
But he no longer had the chance to do so. As the brilliance skyrocketed, the battleship disappeared into this universe. The space-time structure that was greatly stretched behind also collapsed together, and the subsequent gravitational storm engulfed everything like a tidal wave.
Feathered Serpent used this method to continue its own life, safely escaped into the virtual space, and left the airspace where the wandering planet was located.
After the resentment in Halifax's heart subsided, Rockefeller bowed down and pleaded guilty, claiming that he had not thought carefully and caused heavy losses to the fleet, and asked His Royal Highness to come down. (To be continued.)
