Planet Builder - Vol 4 Chapter 283
Chapter 283 Star Gate (4000)
He Xingzhou went to the test field of He Mengyao and her team. Their test field is an entire star system, with a stellar melting pot and a mechanical planet.
In space, a battleship flies to a dwarf planet in the star system, and several mechanical devices fly out.
In less than three minutes, the dwarf planet fell apart and became a pile of fragments.
“In the third test, the dwarf planet was crushed. It took 2 minutes, 48 seconds, 79…Gravitational wave intensity has been recorded…Resonance process has been recorded…”
On the battleship, He Xingzhou, He Mengyao, and a group of researchers are collecting experimental data.
The one that destroyed the dwarf planet just now was their first version of the starburst.
“Although the power is a little lower, the direction is feasible, and it is more efficient than our previous electromagnetic resonance weapons!” He Mengyao was fairly satisfied with the experimental results.
“Next time, directly increase the intensity by 10,000 times!” He Xingzhou said, “Next time experiment, go directly to the planet!”
He has selected a rocky planet to use as a weapon testing ground.
“Arrange for the jump engine again.”
“With the jump engine, you can quickly approach the enemy and quickly activate the starburst! This way it will be much more powerful than the planet cracker!”
He Xingzhou continues to experiment and research.
One hundred years have passed.
Within a hundred years, outside the Star Trade Group’s operations have repeatedly failed. This time, the Night Owl Civilization lost half of the star cluster. Due to the pressure of the enemy, many members have already withdrawn from the Star Trade Group. Half!
Inside , the turmoil of the Zerg became more and more frequent, and there were often stellar behemoths and stellar devourers harassing the border, all of which were blocked by the Blue Star civilization.
Blue Star Civilization advanced the hyperspace engine to the second stage, and began to build a second-level hyperspace warship.
Technology for stabilizing hyperspace channels has also been breakthrough.
In the solar system and the Antlers star system, the construction of star gates began at the same time.
Stargate uses the stellar furnace as its energy source, and has a super-powered hyperspace engine, which is enough to maintain the hyperspace passage for a long time.
…
Zerg occupied the area, Tan Qiong, one of the commanders of the biological fleet, is driving a star devourer-class biological battleship wandering here.
Their goal is to find stellar worm nests and explore whether there are other star behemoths.
Back then, the Black Sea civilization only encountered a star behemoth. He Xingzhou worried that more than two thousand years later, there will be new star devourers who have evolved to the level of a star behemoth.
“Captain, ten light-years ahead, there is a large number of radiation sources!” The reconnaissance vessel in front reported.
“What’s the situation?” Tan Qiong said, “Check it out.”
“The reconnaissance area is spreading!”
In front of them, there is a star system.
The mark of this star system on the star chart is called “Poseidon Star System”. This star system was once one of the star systems in the core circle of the Black Sea civilization.
More than two thousand years ago, it was very prosperous. The Black Sea civilization once built a star gate here to connect the star clusters M45 and M35.
Commercial ships from the Star Trade Group pass through the Star Gate, where they trade and communicate with the Black Sea civilization.
Later, it was occupied by the Zerg. In the star map, it was always the red area, and the Black Sea civilization never took it back.
“In the Poseidon star system, there are more than twenty star devourer-level radiation sources!” Tan Qiong was startled, a mature star devourer with combat power equivalent to a tier 9 warship, and only battle stars can resist them!
More than twenty star devourers gathered in the Poseidon star system, what are they going to do?
“Captain, shall we go in?” the subordinate asked.
“Can’t go in.” Tan Qiong knew that if the bugs found out, they would not be able to leave.
“Put some bio-detectors in, and we will keep a distance of at least three light-years for observation.” Tan Qiong ordered.
“Yes.” On the battleship, a large number of biological detectors that can sail at war speed were released.
These bio-detectors enter the Poseidon star system to observe various regions.
In the Poseidon star system, no planets can be seen.
In the record of the Black Sea civilization, there used to be more than 300 planets here, all of which were transported from other star systems.
Its main star, Neptune, is still intact, but its brightness has dropped a lot compared to more than two thousand years ago.
For a star’s life span of tens of billions of years, more than two thousand years is just a moment. The apparent decrease in brightness can only indicate that the star has consumed excessive mass and energy.
The biodetector found that the radiation source was gathering.
Star Devourers are at least the strongest Zerg in one or several star systems, and they generally choose to live alone in their own territory.
A Poseidon is not enough for these star devourers!
A bio-detector quietly approached the Star Devourers. The place where they gathered was an empty place in the star system.
These giant beasts are surrounded together, and between them, there is a huge ring structure.
It is similar to the Blue Star’s super ring, but it is not a mechanical structure, but a secretion of bugs.
These stellar behemoths secrete material from themselves to construct this circular creation.
“They are building something!”
“We need more situations to get the detector closer!” Tan Qiong ordered.
“You will definitely be found when you get close!”
“Discover when you find it, collecting intelligence is more important!” Tan Qiong had a hunch that the thing built by the bugs must be a huge threat to mankind!
Biological detectors approached this ring structure one after another and began to obtain information.
There are even biodetectors trying to sample and analyze.
At this time, the star devourers have noticed the existence of biodetectors, although these biodetectors are all bugs.
But no low-level bugs dared to get close to these star-eaters.
“Human biodetector!”
“They have found this place!”
“Destroy them!” The energy ray sent the surrounding biodetectors and the Star Devourers into a warped flight and came towards Tan Qiong’s battleship.
“Evacuate!” Tan Qiong evacuated directly. The gravitational field that the warship had arranged for a long time began to take effect, hindering the bugs’ pursuit, and they successfully escaped from the Poseidon star system area.
“They escaped!” The Star Devourers were communicating, “The information here has leaked!”
“Don’t worry, we are almost done anyway. Even if human beings know it, what can be done?”
“We didn’t spend such an effort to deal with the Black Sea civilization back then.”
“Now everything is ready, as long as our lord wakes up, we can directly attack the human area and completely occupy this star cluster!”
…
Tan Qiong reported his discovery to the Blue Star Alliance Command.
When He Xingzhou entered the headquarters, the commanders had already discussed it.
“The Star Devourers gather together and build something, what is it?” Lu Mei was puzzled.
Cui Weimin looked at the intelligence data and said: “This ring structure is very strange. Most of the worm nests are spherical structures. The ring structure is not excluded, but the energy and resources of this structure are obviously not as convenient as stars. It should not be a worm nest. Is it some kind of biochemical weapon?”
Song Jinghong is also analyzing, saying: “The data we have collected shows that this ring structure itself has a lot of radiation, and the structure is a kind of energy crystal structure. It can also generate a gravitational force comparable to that of a star, distorting the surrounding environment. space.”
“It may be a super weapon, capable of releasing gravitational weapons or energy cannons.”
He Xingzhou carefully read the intelligence data. In addition to the two points mentioned by Song Jinghong, the detector’s situation also showed that the gravitational field next to the ring structure was very strong.
“Have you met before?” He Xingzhou asked Bai Ningxiang.
“No.” Bai Ningxiang also looked confused, and said: “In the records of the Black Sea civilization, there is no relevant data. The Zerg has not built anything similar before.”
“So many star devourers gathered here, there must be a lot of knowledge about what is being built, what exactly is it?” He Xingzhou pondered.
A message caught his attention. The Poseidon star system was once the place where the Black Sea civilization built the star gate.
According to Tan Qiong and their intelligence, not to mention the star gate, hundreds of planets in this star system have disappeared.
“Perhaps it is not a weapon, but a wormhole!” Shirazo suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at him, and he continued: “The location of the Poseidon star system used to be the star gate of the Black Sea civilization.”
“This ring structure is too similar to the star gate we built before! The star gate was destroyed during the war, and we have since lost the way to quickly contact the Star Trade Group.”
“Zerg should also have a way to make star gates, or wormholes. The Poseidon star system is a location that we have quietly selected. The mass of Poseidon is large enough, and the gravitational force distorts the surrounding time and space. It is costly to build a wormhole nearby. The energy is smaller, and it can directly use the energy of Poseidon.”
When he said this, everyone was awakened.
“Yes, it’s entirely possible that bugs are building wormholes!”
“If it is a wormhole, the strong radiation and energy detected can be explained, and the surrounding space is also very distorted.”
“Do they want to fly to other star clusters too?” Meng Hai guessed.
“Do not rule out this possibility.” He Hongwei analyzed, “But I think the place they want to come to should be our star field!”
“Think about it, our interstellar building capabilities are second to none in the entire Star Trade Group.”
“Over the years, we have built a lot of defense facilities at the junction with the Zerg. Even the Star Devourer, it is difficult to break through our defense line!”
“What if the worms built a wormhole and bypassed our star field defense line directly and came to our hinterland?”
Everyone was shocked. He Hongwei said that the situation is very likely, and the harm is also very serious.
How did they defeat the Subaru Civilization in the first place? It was the main force of the Pleiadian civilization that was involved in the star field defense, and then the main force detoured directly into the core circle, destroying their military factories and supply areas, and the Pleiadian civilization was gradually defeated!
If the Zerg directly jumps over the star field defense line through the wormhole, all their defenses on the sideline will be displayed, and they will directly face the attack of the Zerg army, which may not be able to block it!
Even if it can be blocked, the Blue Star Civilization will be greatly injured!
“No wonder the bugs did not directly attack us! So they still have this hand!”
He Xingzhou analyzed: “I also think that Zerg creates wormholes and there is a high probability of sneak attacking us.”
“Generally speaking, a stable wormhole should have two passages, just like when we build a star gate, we need to build two at a time.”
“In our territory, no traces of wormholes were found, which means that either the wormholes are in other star clusters.”
“Either, they only built a temporary wormhole! That is, a one-time wormhole, so that only one passage is used. After opening, the problem of returning is no longer considered.”
Luo An said: “So, we need to destroy their passage, and this wormhole will be destroyed directly?”
“That’s what I said, but things are not that easy.” Tan Qiong said, “Near the Poseidon star system, which is equivalent to the hinterland of the Zerg-occupied area, not far from the sleeping area of the star behemoth. Our army must fight there. Face the main force of the Zerg race and the star behemoth.”
“If you can really do that, if you don’t destroy the wormhole, it won’t have much impact on the battle.”
“So before we go to war on a large scale, it is impossible for the raid force to destroy this one-time wormhole.”
“Yes.” He Xingzhou nodded, “Even if the hyperspace fleet jumps over, there are more than 20 mature star devourers, the risk is too high!”
The Lord of Light they dealt with back then has just evolved into the Star Devourer, and his strength is not strong enough.
A mature star devourer is much stronger than the Lord of Light.
“In this case, we must still make preparations, that is, when the Zerg opened a wormhole to attack us.” Everyone thought.
They are now unable to determine the coordinates of the end point of the Zerg’s wormhole passage.
“The area must be in the core circle, because if they jump to other trends, we still have time and space to deal with.”
“The core circle is all our military factories, economic zones, and energy depots. Any loss is unacceptable. If the enemy adopts our strategy to deal with the Pleiadian civilization, first contain our hyperspace fleet in the star field defense line, then we should deal with them. It’s even more troublesome!”
“Things didn’t get so bad.” He Xingzhou said, “What you said is that the Zerg must succeed in attacking us through the wormhole. But what if they can’t successfully pass through the wormhole?”
“Then they will suffer heavy losses!” Meng Hai took his words and said.
“Yes, so we have to re-arm the core circle and place new defensive weapons!” He Xingzhou said, this is also one of the defensive weapons previously proposed with the starburst.
After detecting that the Zerg was building the wormhole, the Blue Star Civilization carried out a second deployment, this time mainly in the core circle.
The Zerg was also very alert, sending more stellar behemoths to guard the wormhole, which made the Blue Star civilization no chance to destroy it in advance.
Both sides are preparing for war, and the focus of the war is currently on the “white dwarf”, the star beast that once destroyed the civilization of the Black Sea-Lord of the Abyss.
