Chapter 973

In interstellar wars, support lines and supply lines based on stargate transportation are very important. The imperial troops on the expedition continue to plant stargates along the way, forming a series of fast routes that can advance and retreat. In order to prevent the enemy from surprise attacking these stargate stations , every time the stargate channel is extended, each legion will lay down part of their manpower to garrison, so the deeper they go into the light dust star cluster, the size of the troops led by each imperial officer will gradually shrink.

As the attacking side, the empire had no choice but to extend the front line relatively long, but this was the advantage of having a strong force, and it had the capital to squander.

Because the size of the troops at the front line is gradually shrinking, the intensity of the battle is also gradually increasing. Of course, the commander of each army is a promising young officer drawn from various places by the empire, with rich experience in interstellar warfare.

How luxurious the lineup is, anyway, in Han Xiao’s memory, almost all of these transferred officers are future high-level military officers. Among them, there are at least three people whose power is not under Tenny, and they will command other large armies of the empire.

Facing such a group of famous generals, the Kunde tribe is completely at a disadvantage in the interstellar battle of the large army. Even if the imperial army is reduced, the Kunde tribe is still repeatedly defeated.

After receiving Han Xiao's instructions, Tiny changed his previous style and began to let the Black Star Legion troops take on more war missions, and took special care of Nello, which Han Xiao mentioned.

Basically in every battle, key combat missions will be assigned to the large detachment to which Nilo belongs, and will fall on the heads of each squad, and the battles will become extremely frequent.

It just so happened that most of the graduates of the Super Academy belonged to different teams of this detachment. The continuous high-intensity and high-risk battles made these immature students bear a huge load. Even Nilo was a bit overwhelmed. I felt strange , I don’t know where their detachment offended the commander.

Because of the continuous high-pressure battles, Nilo's machinery was extremely worn out, and nearly half of his inventory was lost. When there was no battle, he couldn't rest.

At this time, Nilo is very grateful to Leonard.

——Isn’t it just that I don’t sleep? When I was forced to indulge in studying, I had already developed this ability.

Not to describe, this is really a specialty on the property panel:

——[Advanced Fatigue Resistance], physical strength recovery rate +500% during rest, physical strength loss speed -60%, reduce the negative state of "mental fatigue" caused by lack of sleep and rest, and the highest accumulation can be "slight mental fatigue" .

A person with good talent can practice a specialty even without sleeping, and Han Xiao doesn't know who to turn to for reasoning.

But the other graduates didn’t have Nile’s inspirational experience after all, and they were so exhausted that even Mia didn’t have time to flirt with him on the phone.

There is no way to guess what the commander is thinking. It is useless even if Nilo complains. He can only bite the bullet and fight continuously, not knowing that he has been well arranged by Tenny.

High-intensity combat will lead to casualties, but actual combat training is like this, and attrition cannot be avoided. Nilo's team is okay. Although it is exhausted, no members have died in battle. During frequent battles, the bond between Nilo and the team members has become stronger and stronger.

The Scarlet Empire had an overwhelming advantage in this war. Several days passed in a blink of an eye. The fleets of the various empires advanced steadily, crossing multiple galaxies, and finally gradually approaching the border of the Kunde territory.

The army was overwhelming, and the scouts moved first. The various legions approaching the Kunde territory in different directions sent a large number of scout troops to enter the Kunde territory in advance to explore the situation. Among these scout troops, there were both remote-controlled unmanned fleets and ground-mounted The combat squad of the landing force.

Without any accidents, the team of Nilo and others was selected as a scout force to carry out dangerous pathfinding missions.

And when the imperial troops were exploring the border of the Kunde tribe, a secret mechanical force quietly sent by Han Xiao had followed his guidance and arrived near the Kunde tribe's home planet.

...

This is a black planet that looks like a barren planet. There are a large number of armed detection satellites suspended in the outer space, as well as sky camouflage equipment used to obscure the surface of the planet. Through the high-speed camouflage-breaking detection eyes of the mechanical soldiers, it is possible to gain insight into the true appearance of the Kunde home planet. In fact, this is a sapphire-like planet. The ocean occupies most of the surface area. Sea cities and floating cities.

"It turns out that this planet was originally like this."

The mechanical troops stopped in the space far away from the planet, and all of them turned on the concealment camouflage. Han Xiao's technology and mechanical force blessing were enough to prevent the Kunde mother planet from detecting the existence of this group of mechanical soldiers.

One of the machines is Han Xiao's dominator avatar, carrying his consciousness, and is carefully observing the planet.

In the previous life, after the opening of Glittering World, Han Xiao came here to do missions. At that time, the mother planet of the Kunde tribe had changed a lot and was completely transformed by the empire.

Because the empire went straight to Huanglong, the population of the parent planet was basically evacuated, but the Kunde tribe did not blow up the parent planet at this time, there are still many facilities on it, and the last small fleet is stationed for temporary management, here now It is also one of the core quantum network nodes of the Kunde tribe.

"Go to work."

Han Xiao twisted the neck of the machine, his mind moved, and he suddenly entered the field of vision of the Quantum Network.

The field of vision became pitch black again, leaving only light clusters representing the nodes of the quantum network, with different brightness levels, connected with each other by thin light rays representing information flow, forming a network structure.

Han Xiao directly locked on the main quantum network node of the Kunde family's home planet, and his consciousness turned into a streamer, which came suddenly, and the firewall of the node appeared in front of him, like a layer of active dynamic data wall, in his eyes everywhere It's holes and gaps.

He didn't want to disturb the Kunde tribe, so he took a deep dive into the data instead of a direct intrusion, passing through the loopholes in the data firewall one by one with ease, and opened up the back door.

The other party's quantum network technology is very good, and any confidential authority is useless. It's like coming to a house where the owner is not at home. The tools in his hand can open any room and safe. Don't ask, you can do whatever you want.

Soon, the data mother database of the Kunde tribe lost all defenses, and the naked body appeared in front of Han Xiao, like a dessert waiting to be enjoyed.

"Philip, pack and copy their database."

Han Xiao greeted.

His goal is only the incomplete 1.0 version of the space-time cutting technology, but it has come anyway, so he simply packed up and took away all the data of the Kunde tribe.

Philip began to work. It would take a while to copy the entire star cluster-level data. Taking advantage of this time, Han Xiao simply checked all the objects connected to this node.

It is only a matter of convenience for him to locate the whereabouts of all the fleets of the Kunde clan through path tracing.

"Let me see where the Kunde troops are..."

After importing the coordinate data into the star map, Han Xiao glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes moved, and he found interesting information.

I saw that the Kunde fleet is roughly divided into four groups. Among them, the core fleet, mainly the command headquarters, is hiding in the territory and waiting for orders. One battle line is also normal, and the third is that the fleet carrying civilians to evacuate is already far away from the Kunde territory.

What attracted Han Xiao's attention was the fourth type. Countless teams headed separately to the borders of the territory in other directions, as if they wanted to form an encirclement circle, but with such a long distance, it was obviously not an encirclement in the conventional sense. It seemed that they were performing special combat missions.

With Han Xiao's current knowledge, he will naturally not be at a loss. Soon he has a guess, and his heart moves:

"In this case, there should be only three possibilities... One is to escape, the other is to cover the civilians to evacuate, and the third is to set up special traps, escape can be ruled out, and the evacuated civilians are all going in the opposite direction, not going with these fleets, It can also be ruled out, so it is most likely to be a trap, as for what kind of trap..."

Han Xiao squinted his eyes, and based on the analysis of the methods available to the Kunde people and the specific situation, the enemy's most likely plan is to bury a large amount of primitive psionic energy on the edge of the territory, catalyze its expansion, and let it swallow up the people in the territory. Not a single hair of any celestial body is left to the empire.

He didn't just guess it casually, but there were too many examples of this in the Expeditionary War. So many man-made barren universe belts were caused by the flood of primitive psionic energy.

"So, the Kunde tribe wants to turn their hometown into a killing trap to lure and kill the imperial fleet. Hey, it's very ruthless. Before they run away, they want to bite the empire hard." Han Xiao shook his head.

Only civilizations that don't realize the dangers of primitive psionic energy will use this thing indiscriminately. The formation of a natural celestial body takes billions of years, and the probability is random, and where the original psionic energy passes, it swallows all celestial bodies, turning the universe into a vacuum, barren, and no material resources can be found. That's true barrenness.

Moreover, as long as the pollution is not controlled, the original nether energy will expand endlessly. As the volume expands, the contact area with external substances or energy will also increase, and the expansion efficiency will instead become faster. It is so terrifying that even governance may be impossible. At that time, all living beings will have to race against the end of the world.

The three major civilizations are keen to explore unknown areas. Another important reason is that they are afraid that in places they don’t know, there will be strange advanced civilizations that have left the primitive psionic energy without governing it, allowing it to expand endlessly. Sooner or later it will be the creatures of the entire universe who will suffer.

In the historical background of the previous life, there was no record of the detailed process of the empire’s dealing with the Kunde people. Han Xiao did not know whether the Kunde people adopted the scorched earth plan last time, but the celestial bodies of the light dust star cluster in the previous life are well preserved, which proves that even if the Kunde people implemented The scorched earth plan was also stopped by the empire in time.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao is going to turn around and hand over this information to the empire, which will definitely greatly improve the mission evaluation.

"Although the original psionic energy is terrifying, it takes a process to expand to a certain scale. The empire has plenty of time to solve the problem."

Han Xiao nodded secretly, feeling relieved.

Originally, I just came to copy the space-time cutting technology, but I didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

After a while, Philip finished copying the data, Han Xiao left the backdoor program, and then cleared the traces of the visit. After finishing the finishing work, he immediately canceled the quantum network vision and ordered the mechanical troop to return.

The mother planet of the Kunde clan quickly disappeared from the vision of the dominator avatar. From the beginning to the end, his visit did not alarm anyone, and he was a thief.

The peak super A-level virtual mechanic is unparalleled in stealing information, and it is an existence that the three major civilizations must fear.

...

At this moment, the house has already been searched, but the high-level Kunde people who know nothing about it are holding a new meeting.

The theme of the meeting is related to superpowers.

In the room, the leader of the Kunde tribe glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy's superpower technology endows their fighters with powerful individual combat power. According to the data of the crashed spaceship, this set of superpower technology is the result of individual life. The method of training, an individual can even have the power to destroy planets, our proud fighters are simply vulnerable to superpowers."

Everyone's heart is heavy. The power user system is a technology that requires luck to discover, and the Kunde tribe is obviously on the blacklist of Goddess of Luck just like Han Xiao.

The Transcendent star cluster civilization behind the scenes mentioned the existence of superpowers, but did not pack and throw the superpower’s practice methods to the Kunde tribe, which resulted in the Kunde tribe still not having a superpower system.

The leader of the Kunde tribe said slowly: "Superpowers, this is exactly what we lack. Everyone, we have decided to leave our homeland. If we can get this technology from the enemy, it will help us gain a foothold in our new homeland." .”

"you mean……"

"I want the front-line troops to find a way to capture some of the enemy's power users and use them as experimental materials. As long as they get their bodies, they can study the principles and mysteries of the power user system."

"In this case, the combat policy of the frontline troops will have to be changed."

Everyone cheered up and started discussing.

Most people want to have strong personal power and a long lifespan, not to mention those high-level people who enjoy power. Power has always been linked to power. If there is power beyond the ordinary, then fist power is power.

They coveted the existence of superpowers very much, and now they not only want to use scorched earth to plan to destroy the empire's attempt, but also want to snatch new technologies that they don't have from the empire.

...

A few days later, the border of the Kunde territory.

A troop of Imperial scouts is quietly advancing.

This scout troop has more than 20 warships, most of which are the spaceships of the Black Star Legion, carrying combat teams one by one, not only Nilo, but also Mia and a large group of academy graduates.

They have entered the territory of the Kunde people for several days, and they have been vigilant along the way, ready to deal with encounters at any time, but they have not encountered the enemy.

In the cabin of one of the battleships, a large group of legionnaires gathered around the star map to discuss the current situation. Nilo pinched his chin, looked at the star map, and couldn't help but ask doubts:

"It's really strange. Before we reached the territory of the Kunde people, we could meet the enemies who intercepted us every day. Now that we have entered their territory, no one cares about us?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at him, but did not speak.

Not far away, Mia stood with her arms folded, raised her eyebrows: she made a conversation, and her tone was confident:

"Maybe the enemy thinks they can't stop the empire, so they have all fled."

"I don't think it's that simple." Nilo shook his head.

This time, Nilo's team and Mia's team were on the same ship, and there were several other combat teams accompanying the ship.

After going through the baptism of war during this period, Nilo's actual combat ability has been improved to a considerable extent, but his personal temperament has not changed much. After all, he has a baby face, and he can't be fierce. No matter how you look at it, he looks very happy.

Mia, on the other hand, has proven her combat prowess in actual combat, and her temperament has become more and more confident.

Long——

At this moment, the fleet arrived at the preset target location and suddenly exited the transition state.

Outside the window is a planet, which is also the current exploration target of their scouting force, looking for planets suspected of being colonized by the Kunde tribe, and trying to land on the ground.

On the surface of this planet, there are obviously traces of cities.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions tightened.

"It seems that we have found a place, everyone be careful."
