Resurrection Empire

But it was at this time that Zheng Tian reported two important pieces of information to Ren Zhong.

"The fighters are somewhat dissatisfied with the extra coating on their armor. They think that this coating with no obvious defensive performance brings too much useless load, which limits their maneuvering speed, which in turn leads to additional damage. Some soldiers have already applied to remove the coated armor."

Ren Zhong refused: "Reject all applications, and once again emphasize the importance of coating with everyone."

Zheng Tian: "Okay, and, 3 minutes ago, the Veyron formation in the second quadrant completed its first kill on the Frozen Warrior. The exposed body of the Frozen Warrior caused some commotion. It turns out that this is the famous ninth-level gunsmith on Yuanxing 600 years ago."

Ren Zhong: "Go on, I said that our enemies are sublimators. This is a civilization that has pushed biotechnology to the extreme, and can even make the body stronger than machines. They have been lurking in the source star for a long time, and they are familiar with us. And they have been quietly capturing the powerful professionals on the source star, taking the bodies of these predecessors, and using the colonized virus to control their brains. You see celebrities from 600 years ago, but in fact they only It's just a body controlled by a sublimator. It's a weapon, not a person."

At this moment, the word of heavy responsibility is the imperial decree.

Whether Li Yang's friend or not, the rebel fighters who were passively involved had no choice.

They believed it, and they continued to do so.

Time continued to pass bit by bit. During this period, armed warships continued to receive orders and began to close the distance and approach the bombardment.

The energy weapons of these battleships pose a huge threat to the tracers, and at the same time, they can also point to kill some ninth-level market beasts and super-level frozen warriors that cannot be eliminated by frontline fighters alone.

Seekers have attempted to unleash high-explosive missiles to destroy these ships.

But this hasty move only exposed the military immaturity and incompetence of Yingfeng, the pilot and the founder of Yuanxing Military Industry.

Ren Zhong's side had been prepared for a long time, and completed the small-scale troop mobilization in time, created a spherical vacuum zone of troops, and accurately detonated the physical missile in the center of the vacuum zone in advance.

This terrorist missile with a direct killing radius of [-] kilometers finally failed.

But in fact, Yingfeng cannot be blamed for this, only Sun Ai's information support is too invincible.

After the missile was detonated, the halls of the Iron Throne fell silent.

They were shocked by the pictures captured by their own spy robots.

The opponent's maneuvers are so timely and precise, and the vacuum created by the troops is just right.

It seems that the means of the tracer have been exposed to the other party's calculations, as if the other party is the one who owns the "net".

For the first time, the old popsicles had psychological expectations of possible defeat.

Only Ma Zhongfei, who has been busy repairing the "net", didn't notice the changes outside. Instead, he raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "I succeeded! I restored a part of the directional communication function of the 'net', and now I can communicate with the apostle." The brain wave signal in the watch communicates directly! I have already identified that he is still wearing a watch, which at least shows that he still has some freedom!"

The others were also refreshed when they heard the words.

Although no one knew what was going on with the apostle who was the admiral of the fleet, everyone had an illusion that as long as they contacted him, they could turn the world around.

However, this group of people had no idea that Ma Zhongfei's so-called efforts and attempts were completely futile.

His so-called success is nothing more than a charity given to them by Sun Ai according to his heavy-duty plan.

"What are you doing now, Master Apostle? What is the situation?"

When this voice sounded in Ren Zhong's mind, he had already appeared under the No. 0001 armed battleship under Sun Ai's prompt in advance, sitting in front of a chair, facing the place where the lower half of his body had been buried. In front of Li Yang, a huge sarcoid formed by the bodies of many people.

At this time, Li Yang's upper body was outside the sarcoma, and his lower body seemed to be planted inside. Countless thin tubes like banyan tree roots emerged from his waist and abdomen, and the sarcoma was wrapped around the sarcoma like a net bag.

Li Yang was closing his eyes tightly at this moment.

He is accumulating strength, waiting for Ren Zhong's prompt, and then burst out the power of mind control that has been blessed by the super-assisted brain.

Beside Li Yang, there are still eight rank-[-] soldiers in uniform who have been firmly controlled by him, responsible for his personal security work.

Ren Zhong's breathing tightened slightly.

In a sense, now is his personal Armageddon.

As long as this misfortune is successfully diverted, he will be able to set foot in the heart of the empire as the savior of the Origin Star colony and the "native" administrator successor selected by natural selection.

"You idiots! You banned my control of the network, and you didn't allow me to quickly repair the network. You failed to discover this hidden crisis. Now I am held hostage!"

"The people who are staring at Yuan Xing are not only pilgrims, but also psychic demons. Have you seen that person? That is a psychic demon with psychological manipulation ability! I failed to catch him!"

"Now, my people have betrayed me! He has already infiltrated the nine major groups you established! I know what is going on now, but I can't help you, and I can't even protect myself."

"If it weren't for my family members to have brain crystals that shield the ability of psychic demons to interfere, I would have been controlled! Idiots! I was killed by you! You once again betrayed the empire's trust in you and me because of your self-interest. !

"Anyway, please ask for your own blessings first, I'm under firm control now. I'm fucking waiting for an opportunity now! You'd better hold on until I figure out a way!"

Ren Zhong shared the images in his vision with Ma Zhongfei, and at the same time cursed in his heart.

Chapter 452 The Self-betrayal of the Old Popsicles

The floating detectors that detonated one after another in space with private goods rescued Ma Zhongfei who was being taught by Ren Zhong like a grandson.

Listening to the whistling white noise in his ears, Ma Zhongfei quickly switched to the last picture captured by the spy robot that Yingfeng provided him before losing contact, and then let out a long sigh.

At that moment just now, within a radius of 50 kilometers, more than [-] million small aircraft exploded at the same time, and released a strong flow of interference information, blocking the Seeker spacecraft from the current largest external booster— ——The "net" connection also temporarily cut off the contact between the tracer and the outside world, creating an effect like a shielding layer.

This is of course a very sad situation, which means that the tracker temporarily loses his "eyes" to observe the outside world, and becomes half blind.

But for Yingfeng, it was actually a short opportunity to relax.

The Seeker driver, who had been working at an unprecedentedly high intensity for a long time, leaned his head tiredly on the Iron Throne, his hands were trembling slightly because he cooperated with the brain to continuously issue enhanced instructions, and he seemed to be talking to himself, and then It seems to say to others: "According to the footage captured by the spy robot, the rebels also carried their self-developed high-performance information flow jamming bombs in their battlefield intelligence collectors, and now they have detonated instantly."

"The space near the tracker is flooding with a huge turbulent information flow, which interferes with our means of gathering external information. Now we can only obtain delayed data through optical cameras and radio radar scans. Our missiles and energy cannons can no longer Locking on the enemy with nanometer precision is like crashing into the black fog of information flow... Of course, this also cuts off our connection with the apostles of the empire."

When he said the last sentence, Yingfeng's eyes turned to Ma Zhongfei.

The one-way conversation between Ren Zhong and Ma Zhongfei just now, that is, getting sprayed, was broadcast in real time and everyone heard it.

Therefore, everyone actually didn't have much regret in their hearts.

No matter what the reason is, no matter whose fault it is, the objective fact is that the current apostle has lost its use value, so this loss of contact is irrelevant, and it will be broken if it is broken.

In a sense, this is the only good news among the many bad news.

On the other side, Fidina Locke also reported: "Just now I received two plans from the brain. One is to overload the remaining jet medium engines to get out of this black mist as soon as possible. Then we will After restoring the ability to send information to the outside world, then we can at least pass the changes of the Psychic to the Empire and contact the 'net' again. Another solution is to strengthen the force field shield and defend in place. Just hold on for half an hour , the intensity of the black mist will be reduced, and we can still release signals to the outside world and connect to the 'net'. Both of these solutions will greatly consume the remaining energy. Intellectual Brain's recommendation for both solutions is 15% , how to choose?"

Besodes Arson on the side heard the words and immediately said: "Sending information to the empire is not the most important thing. Because even if there is a black mist, if all nine of us die, the black box that comes with the Seeker will still Can generate the highest level of global alarm. Then what happens here can also be transmitted. I think we should choose the second. We still have an advantage with force field shields and stronger frozen legions. Furthermore, now both sides The distance is very short, even if it can only be locked optically, we can still achieve millimeter-level locking accuracy.”

"Yes." Yingfeng approved of Bethodes' judgment, and resolutely activated the second plan recommended by Brain.

Seeing the energy index of the force field shield rising again from 50%, and watching the fireworks still erupting outside, everyone felt inexplicably at ease.

It's just that everyone has doubts in their hearts, and it's also heavy.

As sovereign citizens of the Machine Empire, the Nine knew some real history.

The first layer of history on Yuan Xing is actually not an absolute fiction.

In fact, the source star is indeed the origin information of all human beings in the entire elliptical galaxy.

On the source star where the natural environment is almost perfect and the source sun shines, the organisms have undergone billions of years of evolution, and finally condensed into a miracle of the universe, which is the birth of human beings as carbon-based organisms.

Then, after millions of years of ancient times, human beings in Yuanxing ushered in explosive growth 1 million years ago. In just 1 years, they went through social structures such as slavery and feudalism. And successfully left the original planet, and gradually went to the more prosperous but more dangerous central star area, and after tens of millions of years of development, they went to four different branches.

Therefore, this desolate planet located at the edge of the elliptical galaxy is essentially the origin planet of four different races, the Mechanical Empire, the Ascendant, the Pilgrim, and the Psychic, but it has been abandoned for nearly tens of millions of years. In these tens of millions of years, a new ecological environment has re-evolved, returning to the original.

No matter which branch of human beings are concerned, the source star is not only the parent star, but it is also a planet that has no secrets at all, and no special practical value.

The rare resources on the source star have been developed as they were before humans came out of here, and what remained here were just some "scrap metals" that had not been fully utilized in the technological explosion at that time.

The reason why the empire decided to re-activate this home star located at the edge of the star field of its own territory was not because it wanted to reminisce about the bitterness and sweetness here, and reminisce about the past. It just felt that this planet had no strategic value, was safe enough, and still had Some resources that have not been fully explored are better than nothing, but the natural environment here is very suitable for cultivating populations to produce brains and starship larvae, that's all.

In the past 1000 years, the smooth and orderly development on the source star proved the judgment of the Colonial Secretary, and the enemy parade did not even bother to patronize here.

But inexplicably, when they were about to harvest the fruits and return to the empire, the nine administrators were horrified to find that not only the pilgrims were infiltrating the source star, but even the tentacles of the mind demons were stretching out at the last moment.

Yes, they did find some information about Li Yang.

They also analyzed some phenomena.

On the surface, it seems that Li Yang's ability to obtain mind control is just an accidental genetic mutation, but after the great apostle Ren Zhong gave them the answer, no matter how stupid they are, they should be able to deduce the process from the result.

They can be sure that Li Yang's so-called "mutation" is simply that there is an extremely powerful psychic demon lurking not far from the source star system. When this synthetic human was just a newborn baby, he was exerting influence on him and cultivating his abilities. .

It means that, apart from the sublimators, the three major forces including the empire are all involved.

So much so that the nine administrators didn't even dare to tell the truth in their hearts, but they all felt that there was really some big secret that hadn't been noticed on Yuan Xing, the real home planet of human beings, and that these humble little people like themselves were really involved in something. In a huge conspiracy?

That was really unlucky.

"Forget it, although things have become more and more complicated, we are not without a chance to turn things around. Fortunately, the external communication function of the 'net' has not been restored before, and the apostle has no way to report everything that happened here through the 'net' Inform the Empire. The Empire is unaware that we have made so many foolish mistakes."

"The harsh laws of the empire will not forgive our huge mistakes, and our clan will be ashamed and punished for our stupidity. Of course, as long as we can win in the end, there is still room for redemption. If it is true If we fail completely, the apostle will become dust in the universe with us. The specific process here will be rotten in the universe. It will not be known to others."

"As long as we control the data in the tracker's black box, then in the empire's archives, we are just making mistakes that ordinary C-level tracker colonial administrators would make. C-level colonial operations are not too serious. More armed forces, encountering powerful roving scouts, it's just that we are too unlucky."

"Thank God, the apostle has not verified his authority in the brain of the tracer. It is probably because he thought that the 'net' could be repaired, so there is no need for it. We can properly cover it up."

"Some people will definitely have doubts, but there is definitely no way to verify it. It is impossible for the empire to go to the mind demons to verify the defeat of a mere C-level colony, right?"

"Yes, as long as you record the matter of the spiritual demon in the black box, it will be fine."

"As for the failure of the 'net' and the pilgrims, do you need to report?"

"Let this matter be decided by the apostle. He is the one who repairs the 'net', and he has the right to make decisions. Of course, the prerequisite is that if he can really send the news..."

Inexplicably, the nine people have already begun to seriously consider the situation after the failure.

They're not even going to confess that the "net" was ever taken over by the Pilgrims.

There must be relevant records on the side of the empire. After all, according to the apostle, the hash value of the universe provided by "Net" has been interrupted for 100 years.

But the birth of this tragedy cannot be blamed on them anyway.

They are just a group of poor low-level administrators, and they are not qualified to be compared with the S-level wise men among the pilgrims.

Who would have thought that Yuan Xing's water was so deep that all kinds of monsters and ghosts would come.

A crime other than war.

They just want to cover up the allegations made by Ren Zhong that they delayed the recovery of the function of the "net" because of their greed for personal gain.

In a sense, even though the Frozen Legion outside is still "fighting bloody battles", they are already eager to accept complete failure as soon as possible.

Chapter 453 Weird Battle Situation

No matter how cranky the old popsicles are at this time, they can't change the objective fact that the battle outside the ship is intensifying.

The strange thing is that even though the outer space is full of chaotic and violent information flow storms, the communication mechanism of the other party will inevitably be disturbed, and only the traditional and old radio communication can be used, so the cooperation of the other party should not be so seamless. It is impossible for different combat units to cooperate with each other so rigorously and precisely. .

As long as it is radio, there will be delays, because the speed of light can only be 30 kilometers per second.

But the fact is that the rebel army's millions of combat units are still tightly linked together organically.

The cooperation of the opponent's random combination is still so perfect and smooth.

Small-scale tactical coordination that changes at any time, whether it is attack, cover, siege, dispersal, cold gun, group arrow charge, or simply and neatly overloaded self-destruction, still has extremely high efficiency and incredible accuracy .

If each of the millions of rebels is regarded as a part of the human body, then they are still cooperating seamlessly under the command of the brain at this time, and gathered together to become a huge god of war.

The frozen elders are very familiar with this situation.

In theory, this scene should have occurred one day during the return voyage of the Great Migratory Fleet, when they had an encounter with the enemies of the Empire.

Because only the comprehensive and accurate deployment of the "net" can create such a precise space battle situation as if the human body manipulates the immune system to kill cancer cells.

Obviously the "net" is in our hands, but we lost contact for a short time.

Obviously there is such a strong interference of information flow now, we can't get the assistance of "net".

What happened to this group of rebels?

Could it be... the ability of that mind demon?

In the minds of the old popsicles, the sinister young man who was half buried in the huge sarcoma they saw with Ren Zhong's eyes came back.

He can communicate with the brains of countless people in a huge range, and unify countless people into one thinking system!

This level of spiritual demons only exists in legends.

It is rumored that the reason why the psychic demons with a small population have been able to stand upright in the confrontation for tens of millions of years has made the empire, sublimated and pilgrims feel extremely afraid, precisely because of some of the most terrifying psychic demons. With only one person and one brain, standing on the surface of a star, he can drag the subconscious minds of all the people on the entire planet into his world, driven by him, but no one notices.

Such psychic demons can hear everyone's heart, and can also secretly draw people's thinking like plucking strings.

Although there is no detailed record of encountering such a level of spiritual demons in the empire so far, the legend is more like a myth, but as long as there is a legend, there will be a basis.When people encounter suspicious situations, they will always use illusory legends to explain phenomena that cannot be described by their known knowledge. In ancient times, human beings' myths about Thunder God and Lightning Mother originated from this.

After nodding with the others, Ma Zhongfei revised the data entered into the tracker's black box again, and added two more words, "God-level" before the four words "Psychic Demon" in the report.

The subtext of this report is that since we have encountered a god-level demon descendant, we are not wronged.
