Chapter 111: The Twisted Thing Breeding in the Darkness

"The fleets are advancing according to the planned timetable, and will start attacking after the first round of irradiation." The rough voice came from the helmet, followed by a beep, and the call ended.

Jeremy, who was sitting in the cockpit, looked at the screen in front of him. On the screen above, the trajectory of his battleship and the planned battle point were outlined three-dimensionally.

Through the orange-yellow helmet front cover, the picture in sight is covered with a layer of faint orange-yellow, and the bright yellow dot moves forward a little along the light blue line, moving towards the slightly flickering red dot fixed in the three-dimensional image.

There are many similar but lighter yellow dots in the same way, moving slowly along the light blue line. After reaching the predetermined red dot, it turns green and stops.

"We're almost there." Jeremy said in a voice that only he could hear. There was silence in the cockpit, and he could vaguely hear his own heartbeat.

He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and looked at the health value in the lower right corner of the screen, which showed that his heart rate was 19% higher than usual.

[Blood oxygen concentration][Adrenaline secretion index][Hypothalamus hormone secretion value]...

All indicators are normal, showing his excellent physical fitness, but some of the data are slightly higher, which also means that this fighter pilot is not as calm as he appears on the surface.

Now there are tens of thousands of space fighters on standby in the space battleship, and it is not known how many of them can return safely after the war. In fact, he left a suicide note a month before departure, saying goodbye to his parents and family.

Although he has realized that this day will come sooner or later from the education he has received since he was a child, he still cannot be completely calm today. After all, the probability of his death on the battlefield is quite high.

"Grandfather and grandmother bless, I don't believe in God very much, and now I can only pray to you." He let go of his sweaty palm, then reached into the small pocket on the chest of the battle suit, and tore open the zipper, revealing a small and delicate pendant.

The pendant looks like a beautifully carved black griffin. The black lion is lying on its side, with wings on its back wrapping around its sides, as if guarding and protecting something. The lion's expression is soft and peaceful, not as ferocious and majestic as the traditional impression in the past.

On the back of the black griffin, there are two hand-engraved names in silver cursive, which are worn and rounded, and the corners of the characters are a little off, showing its age.

&nbmp;Fa Xiner]

The two names behind the pendant are the names of his grandfather and grandmother. It is said that they gave birth to three children, and their own generation is the fourth generation.

‘Compared to my famous grandparents, I am just an ordinary person. ’ Jeremy rubbed the pendant lightly with his hand, and it took him a long time to put it back in his pocket.

‘However, I will still remember that I have the blood of a brave lion flowing. ’ He calmed his slightly uneasy heart and adjusted his state.

['Black Pine' arrives at the target location, the 'Black Pine' arrives at the target location, starts to charge the launch system, and the self-inspection of the fighter in the cabin begins. 】

The announcement resounding throughout the ship was constantly played back, and Jeremy could see through the cockpit that the fighter ahead was slowly sliding towards the scheduled launch point.

There are eight launch ports in a Fen Mie Long class space cruiser, four of which are located in the belly, two are located in front of the battleship, and two are located in the rear of the battleship. What he is about to enter now is the launch port located in the abdomen.

'It's neither good nor bad. ’ There is no need to rush directly into the sea of ​​chaotic phantom like the front launch port, but it is not located at the rear, so it can be safer.

After the fighter planes in front slid out one by one, the fighter planes beside Jeremy also started to move, and the familiar comrades waved to him through the cockpit cover.

[Wishing us a triumphant return] This message popped up in the lower left corner of the screen, and then disappeared.

'Victory, eh. ’ Jeremy also waved his hand in response, nodded to the other party, and then watched the other party’s fighter plane heading towards the launch port.

"Now, it's my turn."

He was talking to himself. The voice of the artificial AI in the battleship began to sound in his ears, instructing him to move the fighter plane to the orbit.

[The track is embedded, the final charging and inspection begins, the countdown is in progress...]

[Lieutenant Jeremy, do you have anything else to leave a message or report? 】

"No, it's time to start."

[Received, the fighter plane has entered the pre-launch state, I wish you a successful start. 】

The cockpit slowly sank into the fighter plane, the protective armor above the head was slowly closed, and it became pitch black, only the values ​​on the screen were still emitting faint light.

[The supplementary light in the cockpit is turned on, and the outer protective armor of the fighter begins to charge, 3, 2, 1, charging is complete]

[Engine No. 1 and No. 2 start to warm up, and the reactor activates 20%]

Complicated light blue lines began to light up on the originally silver-white fighter surface, which had patterns like wings and the appearance of the sun. Afterwards, the light on these patterns became brighter and brighter, like a layer of pale gold glass light film began to cover the entire fighter body.

[The annihilation cannon is approaching, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the irradiation is in progress]

On the screen, the gray-black dots that represent the phantoms of chaos are submerged in the thick beams of blazing eyes. If you zoom in on the image, you can see that there are billions of phantoms of chaos writhing in the high-energy annihilation particles, like billions of maggots struggling madly in boiling water.

After the particles in the annihilation cannon have gone through a long-distance trajectory, the particles in it begin to disperse

Thin, its lethality is not enough to directly 'evaporate' these chaotic phantoms to death, but to keep them in the particle torrent for nearly 20 seconds before they can be completely 'boiled' and annihilated.

This makes it miraculously effective in the face of large-scale, highly concentrated chaotic phantoms, but for the frightened and crazily overflowing chaotic phantoms, the efficiency is extremely low, and this is the time for the cosmic fighter to appear.

[Countdown to end of irradiation, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, irradiation stops]

[Fighter launch ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, all activated, launch! 】

A faint blue electric spark shone on the track embedded in the ground by the fighter plane, and then the fighter jet shot out in an instant, rushing towards the chaotic phantom overflowing in all directions like bullets.

The orange transparent metal goggles on the helmet reflected the light on the screen, and the scenery in it changed rapidly, from the dim launch position to the incomparably brilliant passage, then into the pitch-black deep space universe, and then illuminated by the brilliant artillery fire ahead.

The dome screen surrounding the cockpit truly shows the situation on the outside of the fighter plane. Jeremy can even see a little light blue wake ejected from the rear of one side of the wing of his fighter plane out of the corner of his eye.

[Enter high-speed stamping mode, accelerate forward 6]

The fuselage trembled slightly, and the instrument panel beside the screen began to rotate rapidly. It was originally just a little light green at the corner, and then quickly filled the vacant grid until it reached the limit of deep red.

In the space, thousands of battleships that were originally stagnant suddenly radiated countless swift silver stars like a honeycomb, and then these 'silver stars' were slowly dyed orange-red during high-speed flight, rushing towards the chaotic phantom that was scattered and floating after being irradiated by the annihilation cannon.

Compared with an hour ago, the number of chaotic phantoms in this airspace is now less than 2%, but the number is still astonishing. Fortunately, after a large area of ​​space is freed up, it also gives the fighters room to evade.

[Beginning to approach, the combat system has automatically assigned you a target. ]

Suddenly, more than 30 of those gray and black spots on the screen were marked, and three small golden arrows pointed to the target. Dozens of such marks kept shining on the screen as the viewing angle changed, indicating the attack.

"let's start."

Recalling the process of training countless times before, Jeremy began to reduce the forward speed, and the muzzle under the fighter plane began to recharge. With the blessing of the AI-assisted aiming system, it aimed at the chaotic phantoms flying randomly, and fired accurately when the fighter plane flew past the nodes in the trajectory.

The battle is not over yet. Although it has been broken into pieces, it does not mean that the Chaos Phantom has completely disappeared. If given a certain amount of time, they will gather together.

So, after clearing the area of ​​the Chaos Phantom, Jeremy began signaling to the supporting warships in the rear.

Soon, a brilliant stream of light irradiated the area, annihilating and cleaning up the remaining debris one by one.

[Number of cleaning targets: 32, the task is over, and the next stage of target allocation will start, please wait...]

【Assignment is complete, please drive to this area】

Afterwards, another area was marked on the screen, as well as chaotic phantoms flying in disorder. Although their number was only 21, not as many as before, but this time they were more scattered.

"Received the target." Jeremy replied in a low voice, then focused his eyes on the area on the screen, and began to turn the fighter plane and head there.

In space, there were hundreds of thousands of fighters like Jeremy. According to the goals planned by the command system, they cleaned up the chaotic phantoms in areas with the precision and sharpness of a scalpel. They did this over and over again until the gray-black sea of ​​chaos surged up again, and these fighters began to retreat.

The first day of the campaign is over.

In the battle on the first day, the earth civilization reduced about 2.3% of the chaos phantoms. Among them, one annihilation cannon was damaged due to overload, the battleship was not damaged, and 78 fighter planes were damaged. Compared with the total of about 420,000, it is negligible.

The situation is very good, and many people in the Yinvar galaxy began to cheer, thinking that this disaster can be passed safely.

On the second day of the battle, the situation was similar to the first day, with about 2.6% reduction of Chaos phantoms, no loss of battleships, and 129 loss of fighter planes.

On the third day of the battle, 6 of the Annihilation Cannons were damaged due to overheating and were under emergency maintenance, but the remaining Annihilation Cannons functioned normally, reducing the number of Chaos Phantoms by 2.1%.

On the fourth day of the battle, after overhaul, in order to prevent the expansion of the overheating problem and cause more damage to the annihilation cannon, the Orbital Command Headquarters recently replaced the 11 annihilation cannons that were in poor condition with spare parts.

On the fifth day of the battle, unknown "black matter" began to appear in the phantom of chaos, and 201 annihilation cannons were fired normally.

During the irradiation, these "black matter" gradually revealed their true colors. According to the speculation of scholars and experts, the creatures or substances that should be corroded by the chaotic phantom in the past time are now engulfed into space.

Although these substances are not very lethal, they have greatly hindered the irradiation efficiency of the annihilation cannon, so that only 1.2% of the chaotic phantoms were reduced on the fifth day, and the chaotic phantoms began to move closer to the space barrier. If they were not stopped, they were expected to reach the outer orbit in 34 days at the earliest.

On the sixth day of the battle, the battle situation was sluggish, and the annihilation irradiation system only reduced 1.3% of the chaotic phantoms, and they began to gradually approach the sky barrier.

On the seventh day of the battle, under the order of the Supreme Command, the Incinerator-class space battleship began to project the fusion nuclear bomb it carried inside.

These nuclear bombs, which are wrapped in sealed armor and can temporarily isolate erosion, exploded the gray-black sea of ​​chaos like a mountain blasting rocks, turning the 'black matter' trapped in it into fine powder, which improved the efficiency of the previously blocked annihilation cannon.

On the eighth day of the battle, which was consistent with the mission on the seventh day, about 2.7 million nuclear warheads were thrown into space, detonated in 137 batches, and shattered the solidified black fog.

On the ninth day of the battle, the annihilation cannon that had been overhauled and cooled down was recharged and irradiated again. This day reduced about 2.2% of the Chaos Phantoms. However, due to the complexity of the combat missions, the Chaos Phantoms continued to approach the Battlestar and began to accelerate!

On the tenth day of the campaign, 2.1% reduction

On the eleventh day of the campaign, 1.9% reduction

On the twelfth day of the battle, the reduction was 1.7%, and the efficiency continued to decline. The floating smoke powder brought scattering and more consumption to the annihilation cannon.

On the thirteenth day of the battle, the space battleships leaving the port began to return to supplies in batches, mainly the nuclear missiles that had been consumed.

On the fourteenth day of the battle, the fighting stagnated.

On the fifteenth day of the battle, the spare reserve fleet arrived at the front line and began to undertake the task of cleaning up.

On the sixteenth day of the campaign, the Annihilation Cannon was activated again, reducing Chaos Phantom by 1.8%.

On the seventeenth day of the battle, the Supreme Command issued a warning, because the Chaos Phantom was stimulated to accelerate, and it was expected to arrive at the outer space fortress in five days.

On the eighteenth day of the battle, the fleet repairing supplies returned to the front line, and began to violently block the approach of the phantom of chaos. The dazzling nuclear bomb explosion formed a bright light belt in space.

On the nineteenth day of the battle, the Annihilation Cannon irradiated, reducing Chaos Phantom by 1.9%.

On the twentieth day of the battle, another abnormality was found in the center of the phantom of chaos, and there seemed to be some kind of 'life' in it.

On the twenty-first day of the battle, the awakened 'monster' approached the space fortress.

——

"Warning, warning, all ships staying in the port should leave the port urgently!"

"The enemy has invaded the interior of the barrier and began to break through the central holy white barrier. If it breaks through completely, the self-destruct purification system will be activated. Please leave within three hours!"

On the periphery of the barrier, a huge flesh and blood monster with a size of several hundred kilometers is attached to the cold black and smooth outer wall of the barrier. Many arms grow out of its body, and irregular eyeballs are distributed on the arms, palms, and body. The strange posture makes people shocked and frightened.

Surrounding the space barrier, hundreds of battleships and nearly ten thousand fighters kept firing at it, but all had little effect. He seemed to carry some kind of twisted and eternal attribute. Although the energy irradiated on his body would hurt the body, it would be absorbed by himself and used for regeneration.

Taking a closer look at its body, including those 'arms' are made up of various remnants, including sky barrier personnel who have just died, corpses that are too dry to distinguish their original appearance, and even some kind of special bio-mechanical structure, which is very similar to those mechanical dragons that once roamed the outer reaches of the star system.

These things are spliced ​​together in a messy and disorderly manner, and the 'monster' itself has no clear consciousness. It seems that it only relies on certain instincts to yearn for the most core thing in the space barrier, and that is where the Joint Resonance Center is placed to simulate the Throne of God plan.
