Chapter 408 Mysterious White Shadow

Chen Ming himself has the invisible means of attack.

That is, to launch an attack by using the suppression of the normal universe by the phase space.

But with Chen Ming's familiarity with the power of the phase space, the current attack on the Yuhui ship has no direct connection with the phase space.

The reason lies in the exploding ships.

These explosions not only have obvious flames, but also some bright pink energy fluctuations.

You should know that the energy color of the Yuhui ship is usually cyan and azure. Even if it explodes, it will not explode into such pink. These energy lights are obviously related to the weapons that caused the Yuhui warship to explode.

Moreover, the phase space only affects the normal universe in a physical sense. Even if something in the phase space caused the spacecraft to explode, those things should not be seen from the perspective of the normal universe.

Not to mention the rust that can be seen on the details of the ship wreckage.

Rust is usually caused by chemical reasons, which further proves that this situation has nothing to do with the phase space.

So Chen Ming can be sure that this is not the effect achieved by using phase technology.

But he couldn't analyze anything just by watching the video. He needed to see and touch the wreckage of the Yuhui warship with his own eyes for further analysis.

"Are there any clues?" The legion commander beside him asked Chen Ming.

"A little, but not much."

Chen Ming pointed to the Yuhui battleships in the area next to him and several cargo ships in front of him and said, "The battleships are not valuable because the Yuhui core can store data by itself. Only these cargo ships recorded some of the situation at that time."

"What happened specifically?"

"Let's talk about it on the way."

"On the way?"

"We have already taken all the valuable information here."

Chen Ming patted the cargo ship beside him and said, "Although the remaining wreckage over there is already being sent here, no matter how fast others send it, it will definitely not be as fast as us going there directly."

"In short, I'm too lazy to wait."

"Okay."

The legion commander had no objection to Chen Ming's idea and followed him out of the dome.

As soon as he got outside, Chen Ming waved to the sky, and the highest point soon appeared in the clouds, blocking the light shining on the planet, and slowly landed on the ground.

The two climbed to the highest point, and the spaceship quickly took off.

After Chen Ming determined the destination for the highest point, which was near the location of the rear fleet group, he turned on the spaceship's automatic driving.

It would take about a few jumps to get there.

Taking advantage of the few minutes of the jump process.

Chen Ming played the records he got from the cargo ship to the legion commander in the place where he used to do research on the highest point.

At the same time, he also explained to the legion commander the situation of his analysis of the content of the repaired Yuhui cargo ship records.

"It can be confirmed that Yuhui was indeed attacked when retreating."

Since the video the legion commander watched had not yet been played to the time when Yuhui's warship had an accident, the legion commander subconsciously asked: "Who?"

"Not sure."

Chen Ming shook his head and motioned the legion commander to continue watching the video.

And he stretched out his hand in front of him and used metal liquid to create a detailed model of thousands of Yuhui spaceships, imitating the situation in the video.

There are not many scenes in the cargo ship video, and the multiple perspectives of the cargo ships are all close to the perspective of one of the Yuhui warship fleets guarding the rear fleet of Yuhui.

Chen Ming roughly recorded a corner of what happened on the edge of the entire fleet and reproduced it here.

This is enough for the time being.

These contents alone are enough for Chen Ming to arrange the formation of these warships.

And these models can almost be said to be completely manufactured according to the design of Yuhui ships after being reduced to a certain proportion, and even these model spaceships can operate like normal spaceships.

Chen Ming observed the fleet he arranged with the model, trying to see something from the distribution of these warships.

However, just looking at it is obviously not enough.

The key is not Yuhui, but the existence of attacking Yuhui.

The legion commander on the side quickly watched the video and came to Chen Ming's side.

Chen Ming raised his hand slightly when he saw this.

Among the thousands of model ships in front of them, hundreds of them suddenly seemed to be chopped into several pieces by an invisible force from some position, and more model ships on the side suddenly exploded from the inside out.

This was an effect specially simulated by Chen Ming, not a real slash or a real explosion.

Although it was just a simulation, as Chen Ming and the legion commander personally saw the whole process of the incident from a more third-party perspective.

The expressions of both of them changed slightly.

The legion commander turned his head and looked at Chen Ming and said, "Is it accurate?"

"Accurate."

"This... do you want to try it again?"

Chen Ming nodded slightly.

After using psychic energy to repair the thousands of warship models, he repeated the previous operation.

Let the things that happened in the video in an instant reappear in front of the two people.

There was no difference from before.

The eyes of the two people were focused on the chopped warships at the same time.

This time they saw it more clearly.

They were also more convinced that what they just saw was not an illusion.

That is, the slash in the Yuhui warship group had a trajectory.

Assuming that the fleet is distributed in a space the size of a football, the ships that were cut off are only distributed in a cylindrical area that runs through the football.

It was the unknown attack method that attacked this cylindrical area that caused the warships in this area to be cut off.

And the Yuhui warship outside this cylindrical area exploded at the same time.

This is another very special point.

Why are the warships within the trajectory cut off, and the warships outside the trajectory exploded?

Chen Ming really couldn't figure out how this extremely strange special attack method was done.

And this was not the explosion of the ship caused by external explosives, but the explosion of the ship from the inside out.

The more Chen Ming thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. He asked the corps commander next to him, "Are there any weapons that can achieve similar effects?"

The corps commander thought about it seriously and responded, "Let's not talk about the explosion first. As for the slashing, there is no one, at least no one that performs like this."

"The weapon that I know of that can achieve the closest effect is an air knife used in industrial equipment. It uses special means to compress special gases and then release them. It can indeed cut a lot of things, better than high-pressure water flow."

"But if this kind of air knife is used in a vacuum, the gas dispersion speed is too fast, and the effect is very general."

"And the distance this thing can reach is too close, it can't be used in battleship fire."

Chen Ming knew this kind of air knife equipment, and he had used it many times. Even if this thing has been modified and the output power is high, the nature of the gas is there, and it is impossible to use it in actual combat in a vacuum.

But the others...

Chen Ming kept searching in his memory.

However, in the end, he could only randomly come up with a possible situation: "Could it be that the color of the object that caused this damage is outside the known spectrum, and ordinary sensors cannot record its appearance? Then it rushed over and cut these ships at close range?"

The legion commander pointed to a radiation-class battleship that was cut into several sections in the floating model in front of him and said: "What can directly cut off the capital ship?"

"No."

The legion commander rejected his own question as soon as he asked it. After all, there are really many things or abilities that can cut off capital ships.

He himself can also cut off capital ships, at most he can't do it to the extent that it has not been recorded at all.

So he changed the question and said: "Close-range slashing can't cut a ship into several sections in an instant, right? And the directions in which these ships were cut and split are all different. It's better to say that it was cut into this state by a swinging electric saw."

Chen Ming also knew that his idea was a bit unrealistic, so he could only say: "That's even more nonsense."

"Yes, to achieve such an effect..."

The legion commander shook his head. Obviously, this is difficult to establish in the theoretical knowledge of the imperial battleship weapons.

The real theoretical technology may exist, but he really can't think of anything that can achieve a similar effect now.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Regarding those pink explosive materials... potassium ions can produce a similar purple flame when burning. If the brightness is enough, it may look pink, but the others cannot be seen."

"If it is energy light, it's hard to say. Putting some rare gas in it can also achieve a similar effect. We have to go and see what's going on."

The legion leader said and spread his hands directly. He really couldn't say anything else that could match the situation they saw.

There are still too few clues.

But he suddenly thought of something else.

"Can you repair these models and slow down the speed to see from which direction and which spaceship this attack started?"

If the record can be slowed down to see the specific process clearly, maybe we can analyze something else based on the environmental conditions there.

However, Chen Ming gave a negative answer: "No, I can't see it."

"The shortest frame I pulled from the cargo ship's sensor records that the entire fleet was instantly penetrated, and I can't see where it started."

"The speed of this thing has exceeded the speed that the sensor can record, and it is impossible to reproduce it clearly even if you want to."

The legion commander said with understanding: "The cargo ship's sensor is indeed worse than that of the combat ship."

Chen Ming packed up the models he had just made and said: "That's why I want to investigate on the spot. There may be clues on the dismantled warships over there."

The voice fell.

The High Point also completed the last jump at this time and arrived near the location of the Yuhui rear fleet.

The reconnaissance fleet sent by the legion in advance has completely surrounded the area at this time.

And reconnaissance in the surrounding area to ensure safety, and soon a special engineering ship will come to deal with this ship graveyard.

After the legion commander and the person in charge of the reconnaissance fleet communicated.

Chen Ming successfully drove the High Point into the encirclement of the reconnaissance fleet and approached the area full of ship wreckage.

Before entering, Chen Ming was reminded by the reconnaissance fleet.

They said that although some ships in the wreckage were cut off by unknown forces, their engines were not necessarily destroyed, which resulted in the automatic defense systems on some of the wreckage still running, so some attention should be paid.

This was not a big deal.

Chen Ming did not intend to go through the entire wreckage area. All he had to do was to take away a few wreckages that were located at the edge of the fleet and could cover the entire fleet.

After spending a little time and having a small-scale conflict with the automatic defense system left by Yuhui.

Chen Ming successfully achieved his goal and found several wreckages of warships in suitable locations of different Yuhui battle fleets.

And captured and dragged them into the space inside the exploration ship, the Supreme Point, which was specially reserved for storing various strange things picked up during exploration.

After the wreckages of several warships were dragged in.

Various detection equipment inside the Supreme Point was immediately activated under Chen Ming's control and used on these wreckages.

He was not in a hurry to repair these wreckages to read the information in the wreckage.

After all, if he directly used psychic energy to repair them, all traces would be completely erased.

It is better to use various means to investigate manually first.

Sometimes traces speak louder than data.

Of course, the first thing Chen Ming paid attention to on these wreckages was the cutting marks that caused the warships to be cut into several sections.

The cuts on these sections were almost absolutely smooth.

It was easy to see that the cutting damage was absolutely caused instantly.

But what was special was that rust appeared very abruptly in some places on the cut surface, which formed a very clear contrast with the smoothness of other parts of the cut surface.

Logically speaking, an attack method that can directly cut a battleship does not need other auxiliary effects such as corrosion.

But it just happened, which made Chen Ming even more difficult to understand.

At this time, the legion commander could also see Chen Ming operating the equipment on the spacecraft to inspect the wreckage.

He speculated about this situation: "Is it possible that a linear weapon with a single molecule thickness cut the ship apart? And then this single-molecule material has a corrosive effect?"

Chen Ming asked back: "Single molecules can't use their own molecules to react to cause corrosion, right?"

"Then I really can't think of any other possibilities, and I don't think it's necessary to continue guessing in the framework. I think this may be the effect of a psychic weapon."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "I think so too. Let me see the other wreckage first."

"Okay."

Chen Ming continued to control the equipment of the spacecraft and turned to the ship wreckage caused by the explosion.

I want to try to extract residues from these wreckages.

However, Chen Ming did not find any explosion residues. All the materials on the wreckage were materials that existed on the warship, and there was no residue of materials that had previously burst out with pink energy light and fire.

This situation made Chen Ming more determined that this should be the damage caused by some kind of psychic weapon.

After checking several times and recording a lot of data.

Chen Ming dispatched psychic energy and began to repair these wreckages.

The afterglow core in the cut wreckage seemed to have been unloaded because it was not damaged.

However, the afterglow core in the wreckage caused by the explosion was not removed.

It was successfully restored under the effect of Chen Ming's psychic power.

But Chen Ming still couldn't repair the structure after the restoration, and the consciousness in the core.

His psychic power is not strong enough to revive life, even electronic life.

But this is enough.

Chen Ming successfully read out the data in the afterglow core.

Found the screen that recorded the afterglow fleet encountering an emergency.

This time, Chen Ming finally saw something on the sensor screen.

It was a mysterious white shadow that existed for only a very short time.

It passed through the afterglow fleet, and all the warships close to the white shadow were cut into pieces, while the warships that were not close to the white shadow were hit by the explosive attack means at the location.

This is why the afterglow fleet fell to such a state.
