Chapter 386 Ghost

The high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam detected by the detection device left by Chen Ming is not too rare in the universe.

After all, stellar activity means that a large amount of radiation is emitted by stars.

Such a high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam can only be regarded as one of the various natural phenomena that stars will have.

There is nothing noteworthy in itself.

However.

The high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam observed by Chen Ming at this time is not just an ordinary high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam, its existence is accompanied by a special law.

That is, the time interval between the two bursts of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beams by the star is shortening at the same time interval, and it is expected that the interval between the two electromagnetic radiation beams will be completely zero after three hours.

And this situation does not only occur on one star, but on three stars at the same time.

Of course, there is not a three-star system in one galaxy, but the stars of three relatively close galaxies appear at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with the stars of these three galaxies themselves, they are just different types of stars that are more common in the universe.

But it is quite special to look at them together.

They are A-type stars, G-type stars and M-type stars in astronomical concepts, which just cover the types of stars that can be roughly divided into strong light, weak light and intermediate categories on the spectrum.

And their color difference is also very clear, A-type stars are blue-white, G-type stars are yellow-white, and M-type stars are red.

The three galaxies with three different spectral intensities are very special in themselves, and the periodic release of electromagnetic radiation beams is even more outrageous.

Not to mention the periodicity of the radiation beam emission

This almost makes Chen Ming 100% sure that something will definitely happen in the galaxy, and he must go and take a look.

Chen Ming immediately got two high points and made a jump with his own ship. They arrived at three different galaxies and began to scan the electromagnetic signals in the galaxy, confirming that the data he just received from the reconnaissance equipment he left behind was correct.

The stars in these three galaxies are releasing electromagnetic radiation beams at the same frequency.

Moreover, the radiation beams emitted by these three stars coincidentally point to a galaxy that is not too far away.

According to the results of the preliminary reconnaissance that Chen Ming sent a fleet to conduct during this period.

There are no stars in that galaxy, only a pulsar placed where the star should be.

Pulsars can be regarded as a type of neutron star.

A neutron star is a star that is formed when a star collapses at the end of its lifespan after a supernova explosion caused by gravitational collapse, but the star's mass does not reach the limit of forming a black hole. It is a star with a density smaller than that of a black hole.

A small number of neutron stars will periodically release electromagnetic pulses to the outside world, which is a pulsar.

Neutron stars that should be releasing electromagnetic pulses to the outside world are strangely absorbing electromagnetic radiation beams from distant stars.

This situation made Chen Ming, who had not encountered anything for more than two months, suddenly recall the period two months ago.

So he immediately took action himself, controlled the highest point to jump, and immediately arrived at the galaxy of the pulsar.

His spacecraft had just arrived at the edge of the galaxy and had already been subjected to a large amount of radio radiation.

Once these radiations penetrate the armor and hull of the spacecraft, they may damage the electronic circuits of the spacecraft and even cause damage to the personnel in the spacecraft.

But Chen Ming is not afraid of this.

After all, the Supreme Point is a special exploration ship. At the beginning of its design, it has taken into account the situation of encountering stars of different types, different ages, and aging. Pulsars are obviously also within the scope of consideration.

Therefore, the outer layer of the Supreme Point's spacecraft armor has a special star protection coating that can be used to prevent radiation of various types and intensities.

If necessary, Chen Ming can even turn on the Supreme Point's shield, which can also defend against radiation to a certain extent.

What's more, he has psychic power to repair the spacecraft.

In addition, the body he is using now is also made with advanced biotechnology, and is not afraid of radiation at all.

Even if this is a life-forbidden zone, it is not a big problem for Chen Ming.

He immediately let the spacecraft continue to move forward and continue to the interior of the galaxy for a more detailed investigation.

However, he was not too stubborn, and still chose a slightly traveled route, so that the spacecraft could hide as much as possible behind those planets in the galaxy that were completely lifeless and would not be swept by the terrifying pulses emitted by the pulsar.

And released some smaller-scale spacecraft, carrying reconnaissance equipment and began to stare at the radiation value close to the pulsar.

These small spaceships are all new spaceships that he just made, and he has never used them before.

But there should be no problem with the spaceship technology.

Because there are pulsars in the empire, research on pulsars has been going on, and of course there are similar spaceship technologies.

This type of spaceship can almost completely isolate the huge amount of radiation emitted by the pulsar, and detect the galaxy of the pulsar without interference.

Chen Ming just happens to have such technology, and it can be used now.

In this way, the situation inside the galaxy and the strange electromagnetic pulse signal emitted from the distant galaxy can be recorded.

However, several spaceships flew around the pulsar and did not find any other abnormalities.

Only the electromagnetic radiation beams emitted by the three stars were absorbed by the pulsar.

There was nothing else, and Chen Ming had no idea what caused this situation.

Even after he had recorded almost all the data in the galaxy, he sent the obtained data to the Fanchao Research Institute.

They had never had any similar records, but hoped that Chen Ming could get more data to send to them for research.

So it seemed that Chen Ming had to deal with this matter by himself.

Chen Ming had no choice but to make some necessary preparations according to the situation two months ago.

Then he only did one thing.

Wait.

Wait to see what would happen at the pulsar, wait to see what would happen to the information of the three stars of different colors.

And, wait to see what would happen here.

After waiting for almost three hours.

Chen Ming did not wait for what he expected to happen here, but he waited for the pulsar to change.

At the moment when the interval between the periodic electromagnetic pulses emitted by the three stars was reduced to zero, the channel of the electromagnetic frequency band he left in the three galaxies suddenly became silent.

The star returned to normal and no longer emitted electromagnetic radiation beams.

Although it has not been further confirmed and investigated, Chen Ming felt that the three star systems should not need to be monitored for the time being.

Because at this time, he found a Leviathan on the surface of the pulsar in the galaxy through the small spacecraft released from the highest point.

It was a giant blue jellyfish that looked like a scavenger robot.

It had eight tentacles of varying lengths and a very simple and clear structure.

It flew out from the north pole of the pulsar, which is near the area where the planet periodically releases huge radio pulses to the outside world, and was rising rapidly, trying to escape the gravity of the planet.

That is the area where the entire pulsar emits the most radio pulses.

The radiation carried by these radio pulses may pose a threat to the entire galaxy and even neighboring galaxies, and such a Leviathan that can appear from here may also have similar power.

Combined with the fact that Chen Ming detected the same pulses on the three stars of different colors near his Gaia galaxy.

He seriously suspected that this guy would go directly to the three galaxies after escaping the gravity of the pulsar.

The three galaxies are not too far from Chen Ming's Gaia galaxy.

The possible consequences are absolutely unacceptable to Chen Ming.

He must not let this dangerous Leviathan, which releases huge amounts of radiation, threaten his colony.

Just when the jellyfish Leviathan had not had time to escape the gravity of the pulsar.

A large area of ​​jump fluctuations enveloped its head.

The Zerg fleet called by Chen Ming arrived here in just a dozen seconds.

Just like before, the first attack was just a tentative attack, and Chen Ming still arranged two hundred Zerg Hercules-class battleships.

Half of them were equipped with arc weapons, and the other half were equipped with various weapons for testing.

After all, Chen Ming encountered unknown enemies, and he had no idea what kind of weapons their armor or skin was resistant to.

He had to try them all to see what kind of weapons were the most suitable.

The Zerg fleet was affected by the terrifying radiation of the pulsar as soon as it entered the galaxy.

Although the Zerg biological warships have gained very strong plasma resistance and high temperature resistance through the effects of the stellar fluid, and their radiation resistance has also increased to a certain extent.

But ordinary stars do not have such a huge amount of radiation compared to pulsars.

This puts the Zerg fleet in a disadvantageous environment right from the start. Every inch of the Zerg organs are burned by radiation and are also recovering with energy supply.

As long as they are not seriously injured, the Zerg warships can barely maintain stability.

But fortunately, Chen Ming still put some effort into the electronic system, so that the control system of the non-biological weapons equipped by the Zerg warships has not been disturbed too much and can continue to operate.

Let the Zerg fleet still bear the burning of radiation in the galaxy to launch a surprise attack on Leviathan.

The purple arc that penetrates the vacuum connects the Zerg warship with the Leviathan above the pulsar.

The gorgeous energy beam enveloped the body of Leviathan, and countless live bullets followed and bombarded Leviathan's body.

There are also various weapons unique to the Zerg warships that are also bombarding the Leviathan.

However, when all this fancy light pollution dissipated.

The jellyfish-like Leviathan was almost unharmed, and some only had some scratches left by live ammunition weapons, and these injuries soon disappeared completely.

From the data just captured by the spacecraft, it is not just that the physical strength of the Leviathan itself is very terrifying.

There are also factors of environmental influence.

The harsh environment of the pulsar has caused most weapons to be severely disturbed.

Energy weapons will be dispersed by the radiation energy of the pulsar, and live ammunition weapons will be distorted by the gravity of the pulsar.

Explosive weapons will be detonated in advance by radiation before they can hit, and the Zerg's biological fighters and biological missiles will never be able to get close to the pulsar, let alone hit the Leviathan.

The only weapon that can really hit the Leviathan is the arc weapon.

But in this battle, Chen Ming encountered a situation where the arc weapon was completely ineffective.

This Leviathan seemed to be born from a pulsar.

All arcs could not cause substantial damage even if they hit.

Even when the Zerg fleet's arcs hit for the second time, this Leviathan seemed to have triggered some kind of reaction, and the jellyfish-like body also burst out with violent pulses like a pulsar.

Although the pulse released by the jellyfish Leviathan weakened far less than the pulse emitted by the pulsar, the pulse it released was ranged.

The destructive electromagnetic pulse directly penetrated the paint that Chen Ming specially arranged on the weapon, causing all the additional electronic equipment on the Zerg warship to overload, and no weapon could continue to operate.

The electromagnetic pulse even triggered a violent pulse activity of the pulsar, and the radiation value in the galaxy instantly increased by at least 50%, causing the body of each Zerg warship to suffer severe damage.

In the grand electromagnetic pulse fluctuation, the Leviathan suddenly entered a jump state and disappeared in this dangerous galaxy.

Chen Ming didn't even have time to stop it, so he could only try to catch up.

But he immediately found that he didn't seem to need to analyze the jump data specifically to track the missing Leviathan.

Because one of the ships he stayed in the three galaxies that emitted the electromagnetic radiation beam had seen the missing Leviathan appear in the galaxy with the blue A-type star.

Chen Ming immediately asked the damaged Zerg fleet to return for rest and asked the Queen to prepare a new fleet.

After waiting for a while and making sure that the Queen was ready, he jumped to the edge of the blue A-type galaxy.

The high point sounded a high radiation value alarm.

It seems that in just a few minutes, Leviathan has spread its radiation throughout the galaxy.

Obviously, if this thing runs to the Gaia galaxy, it will cause a terrible impact.

Chen Ming's heart sank.

But he suddenly found that something seemed wrong.

There seemed to be a unique connection between the star and the Leviathan.

It seemed that their spectral frequencies were the same, which led to the star being able to establish a peculiar relationship with the Leviathan at this time.

This relationship is not that the star is supplying Leviathan with energy, but that the star is draining Leviathan's energy.

Leviathan's energy level and radiation emission are more than half of what they were in the pulsar galaxy.

Chen Ming immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

He quickly asked the fleet prepared by the Queen of Zerg to jump over, wanting to hunt Leviathan while it was weak.

But the development of what happened next was beyond his expectations.

Before the Zerg fleet arrived, Leviathan in the galaxy once again burst out a violent electromagnetic pulse, just like before, and disappeared in this galaxy again, appearing in the yellow-white G-type star galaxy.

This time, perhaps because of the different spectral frequencies, the star did not actively absorb its energy.

But it actively released energy into the star.

Before Chen Ming could figure out what it was going to do, he saw it jump again and appear in the red M-type star galaxy to do the same thing.

Just when Chen Ming was ready to be on guard in case its next jump destination was the Gaia galaxy.

Leviathan chose to return to the blue-white A-type star system.

Its power was once again absorbed by the star, and it itself was weaker than before.

All this happened in a flash, so that when Leviathan came back again, the Zerg fleet just jumped here at this time.

Chen Ming directly ordered the Zerg fleet to launch a full-scale attack, no longer holding back, just to kill the Leviathan as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Because he saw a picture that made him extremely headache from other perspectives.

To be precise, there were two pictures.

Just after this blue jellyfish-like Leviathan returned to the A-type star system.

The surfaces of the stars of the two star systems it had just visited showed violent fluctuations that should not have occurred.

Along with the sudden increase in the radiation value in the galaxy, two more Leviathans emerged from the star.

They were the same as the blue jellyfish-like Leviathan, with only a difference in color.

The light of the star seemed to dim a little at this moment.

And the two newly appeared orange and red jellyfish Leviathans were also struggling to break free from the constraints of the star's gravity.

The appearance of the three-color Leviathans made him realize that he could not delay any longer.

Even though he observed that the two Leviathans would still be disturbed by the stars when they were in the galaxies with their corresponding spectral frequencies.

But he did not dare to bet whether the three Leviathans would rush together.

He had to get rid of them all as soon as possible.

Chen Ming continued to give the Queen the order to summon more Zerg fleets.

The main Zerg fleet, which was ahead in number in the A-type star galaxy, rushed towards the blue Leviathan that had just returned to the galaxy and was heading towards the star.

With the arc weapons completely ineffective, Chen Ming could only equip all Zerg warships with the live ammunition main weapons learned from the mechanical race's live ammunition type of ridge cannons based on the previous battle situation and his own speculation.

The Zerg fleet's surprise attack seemed to have worked. The blue Leviathan's body was covered with countless scars left by live ammunition. Scratches, bruises, and penetration wounds could all be seen on its body.

But this did not affect Leviathan's actions at all.

It was as if all the injuries were just decorations with the name of injuries. It continued to move towards the star without any impact.

And in this process, even if the star was still draining its power, it would completely repair all the injuries on its body.

Live ammunition weapons could hurt Leviathan, but could not cause real meaningful and effective damage.

It had no fatal parts and no weaknesses.

To solve it, it seemed that the only way was to completely destroy it.

Chen Ming knew the priorities of things and knew what was really important.

If the fleet could not defeat it, there was only one way left.

Chen Ming once again issued an order to the Zerg fleet.

Thousands of Zerg battleships started their jump engines the moment they received his order.

During the jump, the organs inside these Zerg warships were all transformed into activated energy crystals, just to burst out the most terrifying power at the last moment.

The jump waves of thousands of battleships surrounded the moving Leviathan.

And when the first Zerg battleship broke away from the jump and appeared in front of Leviathan, the continuous explosion and fire completely enveloped Leviathan.

A violent electromagnetic pulse suddenly burst out from the center of the fire.

The aftermath of the battleship's self-detonation was swept away from this area.

Leviathan did not want to continue to entangle with the Zerg fleet reinforcements that might arrive at any time. Suddenly, it accelerated and touched the surface of the A-type star, sank into the interior of the star, and could no longer find any trace.

The self-detonation of these thousands of Zerg battleships did not seem to cause any effective damage to it at all, and was even worse than the effect of the live ammunition weapons just now.

This outrageous gap made Chen Ming frown.

Although he still has more Zerg warships, self-destruction may not be a good choice.

And this is just one galaxy, and there are Leviathans in two other galaxies waiting for him to deal with.

He looked at the other two galaxies again, and the two Leviathans, one yellow and one red, that had just struggled out of the star were now gone.

It's not that they ran away, but that they had already hidden in the star when Chen Ming asked the Zerg fleet to self-destruct.

They lurked and did not make any further moves.

This is also a point that makes Chen Ming very worried.

However, Chen Ming's expression gradually calmed down.

If the Zerg's combat power is not enough compared to these three-color Leviathans, then he can actually choose another way of fighting.

That is, he will go on the field himself.

Chen Ming clenched his fist.

A layer of biological armor protection instantly appeared on his arm.

Pure biological armor has no advantage over the armor of Zerg warships except flexibility.

But if combined with Chen Ming's own strength, he can do much more than the Zerg fleet.

There is just one problem.

The three Leviathans are hiding in the star, and Chen Ming has no way to enter the star directly without being affected.

He has to wait until his research project on the star-eating body makes progress before he can enter the interior of the star.

So he can only wait.

Waiting for the Leviathans that suddenly appeared to leave the star, giving him a chance to kill them.

Meanwhile.

The survivors' space station.

In the dark environment, those voices are still communicating directly.

"The ghosts have played a role, but not much."

"No, it's enough. With the level of human technology, it is impossible to observe the state of the ghosts in depth. They can't find that the state of the blue ghost is already very bad. They will only think that the ghosts are waiting for an opportunity to move."

"If they are smart enough, they won't continue to 'waste' resources on self-destruction."

"But I never remember that the biological warships of the Thorn Zerg have such capabilities."

"I never knew that anyone could raise these creatures, not even us."

The space station was quiet for a while, and the survivors didn't seem to want to talk about this topic.

"What we need to do is to find a way to continue to use the ghosts to put pressure on humans, let them know that they have no means to destroy the ghosts, and can only rely on us."

"Chen Ming doesn't seem to have this intention. He doesn't seem to have considered us at all. Was what you did before correct?"

Nano did not respond to this question, but said: "Then take the initiative to bring up this matter during the next transaction, and let the ghosts delay it until the next transaction day."
