Resurrection Empire

According to the management mechanism of the Yuanxing Fleet, these information related to the overall situation must be transferred and authorized by the military command before it can be distributed.

Therefore, only Ding Canghai, a few people around him, and the headquarters of the Origin Star Fleet on the Seeker spacecraft knew about the fact that some comrades in arms were evaporating out of thin air.

Ding Canghai had two choices, to issue a comprehensive alert order to the outside world, or to do nothing at all.

Emotion told Ding Canghai that as the commander-in-chief of the third army, he should immediately take responsibility and issue a warning to everyone.

But reason is saying that it is useless to issue warnings.

The task of the reconnaissance army is to exchange life for intelligence, and there is no such option as retreat or hedging.

What is the warning?

Let the subordinates turn on the scanning engine at full power?Level [-] alert?Full disclosure of synchronization information to a mesh feed communication network?

There is no need, since the reconnaissance army left the fleet headquarters until now, all reconnaissance ships have been doing this.

Even if a warning is issued, it is still the same as what to do.

Others can only continue to work and maintain the first level of alert.

It is impossible to change the situation by issuing any orders to the outside world, and it is impossible to save anyone. Instead, it will only expose the base station of the army headquarters and its own existence.

Xiao Wang, who is lurking on the surface of C1915, and Xiao Wu, who is going deep into the center of the earth, will also be exposed.

Scouting missions against C1915 will fail, as will similar missions for other scout ships.

Ding Canghai made a decision.

"Completely shut down the external information flow communication, and switch to passive receiving mode. Pre-activate the high-power electromagnetic wave transmitter, program it, and prepare to use all the key intelligence we have collected before everything is over. The speed of the enemy's fleet is indeed one-fifth of the speed of light, and our information will arrive at the headquarters before the enemy's fleet!"

Ding Canghai decided to live up to the trust of the officers and men of the Third Army, neither issued a warning nor gave any instructions.

The correspondent beside him was taken aback, "But everyone..."

Ding Canghai roared, "No but! Everyone must stick to their posts and provide information continuously. This is our task! They don't need to make any changes, just continue like this! Only after completing the task It is the first priority, more important than anything else! Even if our 400 million people are all dead, we must send the information back! Everyone must fight to the last second of their lives!"

After speaking, Ding Canghai activated the commander's authority and completed the operation by himself.

Afterwards, he was still staring at the star map, staring at the scout ship positioning light spots that were extinguished like candles blown by a strong wind.

The extinguishment of each light spot means that the third army has lost ten comrades in arms.

Ding Canghai's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, and the veins on the back of his clenched fists were bulging.

At the same time, he looked at the communication port representing Xiao Wang and Xiao Wu.

There is a plan in the equipment of those two people.

Once such a situation of complete loss of contact occurs, the work of the two becomes easier, that is, to continue their own exploration and analysis, and then when the analysis work reaches a qualified node, they will go to the base station 60 kilometers away. Send a one-way signal in the direction of the

Xiao Wu has just entered the crust of star C1915, and the analysis work has just begun.

All Ding Canghai can do is to pray in his heart that Xiao Wu can successfully complete the task, and pray that the camouflaged rock armor on the outer layer of the base station can avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, and that his base station can be maintained smoothly until the moment Xiao Wu returns the information.

Time passed bit by bit, Ding Canghai put his palms together, prayed in his heart, and walked back and forth in the command room, infinite anxiety swept over him.

After a long time, Ding Canghai gritted his teeth and walked towards the equipment room as he saw that the black area continued to expand and would cover the area where the C1915 star was located in four hours at the latest.

He planned to put on his sniper-type combat mecha, and carry a medium-sized radio that assembled electromagnetic wave communicators and ghost particle communicators into the deep valley on the west side of the meteorite satellite in the dark.

While landing here, the scout ship finished modeling the meteorite moon.

An hour later, Ding Canghai stood in the cabin and looked back at the other seven subordinates.

He said slowly: "The enemy will arrive here in about four hours. Although we have done a lot of protection, we may not be able to hide it from the enemy. According to the simulation of 'Net', Xiao Wu's actions can be completed in about ten days We have to divide our troops into two groups to form a double insurance. I assure you that I will live until ten days later. Even if you are discovered and killed in battle, I will send back all the information collected by the Third Reconnaissance Army to Lord Viscount! He will avenge us, for sure!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Canghai opened the exit valve, and the not-so-big sniper-style armor carried a medium-sized radio station shaped like a truck and sank into the darkness, relying on the anti-gravity engine to go away quietly without leaving a single footprint.

Three hours later, Ding Canghai got down on the ground and slowly landed on the ground.

Although there was almost no light and no visibility here, Ding Canghai couldn't help subconsciously raising his head and looking up.

It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Ding Canghai lowered his head, and began to check his equipment again.

Since it is in a vacuum environment and there is no air, ultrasonic radar cannot be used, and Ding Canghai dare not use electromagnetic wave radar, information flow scanning and metal detectors. He can only rely on passive optical camera to scan and model when flying, which is not very realistic. .

In addition, he was carrying a medium-sized radio station that was bigger than the mecha, and he didn't dare to turn on the medium engine at full power to change the direction. He only dared to make small adjustments, and his mobility dropped a lot.Moreover, in order to stabilize before the enemy's mopping up, he couldn't slow down. When going down the winding and deep valley cracks, he basically bumped into them all the way.

In order to protect the radio station from damage, Ding Canghai had to use his armor to withstand the damage many times.

If it weren't for his commander-level gunsmith's armor, which was specially made and of reliable quality, the life support system would have malfunctioned according to his attack method.

"The self-inspection is complete, and the damage rate is 12%. The lubricating oil of the joint bearing of the left arm leaks, the bionic fiber of the back blade is slightly torn, and the movable armor of the knee of the right leg armor deforms and squeezes the cable... There are a total of 15 damaged parts. The repair time is six hours, it is recommended to keep still and wait for the self-repair to complete."

Ding Canghai set the armor to sit-stand mode, then activated the communication system, and turned on the information flow and electromagnetic wave passive reception mode of the medium-sized radio station.

A large area of ​​darkness has appeared in the small star map, and the entire third reconnaissance army has less than 30 reconnaissance ships left.

The black area is spreading to C1915 like a tide.

At the same time, a large amount of information is pouring into Ding Canghai's medium-sized radio station through the information flow network. These are all kinds of piecemeal information collected by other scouting ships within these three hours, involving the stardust density of the star area, star The composition of dust, large or small space meteorites and various shallow or deep analysis reports of various stars.

Ding Canghai activated the automatic screening function of the radio brain.

According to his conception, he himself would end up sending messages by both means at the same time.

The burst of information flow can completely send out all the information collected by the radio station, but the bandwidth of beam electromagnetic waves is insufficient, so the content must be simplified.

Although there is no real evidence, Ding Canghai intuitively believes that the enemy must have some way to cut off the information flow communication, otherwise it is impossible that he has not received even a battle picture until now, and all the reconnaissance ships have no Suddenly lost contact without warning.

At this time, in the command cabin of the Fleet Headquarters' Tracker spaceship, Ren Zhong, Zheng Tian, ​​Vincent and other personnel from the Supreme Command are also standing under the star map, and the screen is also zoomed in on the area where the Third Reconnaissance Army is located .

In the picture in front of everyone, there is also a large black area, which means that the scout ship over there has lost contact.

Vincent Van Hoy, who is in charge of intelligence work, frowned and said: "The commander of the Third Reconnaissance Army, Ding Canghai, decided to shut down the node base station of the army headquarters ahead of time. The constriction is not enough, and there is no way to establish direct contact with us. Now we can only grasp the rough situation through the scattered information captured indirectly by other reconnaissance armies. We only know that the ships of the third reconnaissance army are disappearing rapidly, but we can neither receive The reconnaissance information they obtained in real time is also not available on the battle screen. This is a serious violation of Ding Canghai, even if he has been loyal to you, Lord Viscount longer than me, I will propose to punish him after he comes back!"

Vincent's attitude was subtle, as if he was still considering factional disputes at this time.

But Ren Zhong didn't explicitly reprimand and warn him, because it didn't matter, he just said lightly: "There is no need to hold anyone in the scouting army accountable. Now is not the time to hold accountable. Every scout who went out has no intention of coming back, no matter what It doesn't matter whether it's a low-level soldier or an army commander. Since I used him, I naturally trust him completely. Now we are standing comfortably in the headquarters and slamming Fang Qiu, but they may die at any time. They have the right to make their own decisions. As for us, what we should do is to trust the intelligence they exchanged their lives for. The order is passed on, the whole army stops advancing, hides on the spot, arranges minefields, builds defense lines, and after five days, fires high-speed missiles in advance to the calculated advance route of the enemy army. Three-phase missiles and high-explosive missiles."

After giving the order, Ren Zhong turned and left.

The next detailed instructions are the affairs of Zheng Tian, ​​Vincent and other command staff and Sun Ai.

He is no longer involved.

In fact, Ren Zhong was very confused at this time.

Because he realized that after he completely left the gravitational range of the source sun, he might lose his resurrection ability.

For a long time, he has been used to relying on resurrection to reset all taboos.

He also relied on this ability to be invincible all the way to today.

In the process of struggle, although his mind and fighting talent played a big role, Ren Zhong, who is quite self-aware, still feels that resurrection and reset is his core way to win.

He once thought that he could use his resurrection to open up the situation inside the source star, and he could do it again after the empire, but the process is more complicated, the opponent is stronger, and each decision involves more people and forces. .

As long as you persevere in trial and error, there will be no problems that can stump you.

But now, the greatest foundation of boundless confidence seems to be in danger of collapsing.

He even once thought about not leaving at all, turned around, and huddled inside the source star, turning the ability of resurrection and reset into an indestructible Great Wall, blocking all risks and enemies.

As long as there is resurrection, whether it is the conquest army of the empire or the parade of hostile forces, Ren Zhong has the confidence to slowly wear it to death.

Without resources, without energy, without technology, it can be snatched from the invading enemy, and it can also develop slowly, but the efficiency will be relatively low, and the development will be particularly slow.

But Ren Zhong thought again, since the reset area is limited, it proves that the energy supporting his resurrection and reset is limited, so is the number of resurrection restarts also limited?

If it cannot develop rapidly, one day in the future, Yuan Xing will encounter an extremely large fleet with a total energy and material scale comparable to the sum of resources in the Nanxiang star cluster or even a larger star field, and it will even require at least hundreds of millions of times. If he can be defeated only by resurrection, will he really die suddenly after being dead?

He didn't know what to do about it, but when he thought of that scene, he felt extremely desperate and terrified.

After thinking about it, he felt that he had to use the opportunity of the return of the colonial team to enter the imperial society.

It's just that, when I don't have resurrection, what else can I do?

Ren Zhong sighed slightly.

For the first time in a long time, he felt uncertain about the future.

……

Ding Canghai still curled up and hid in the crevice of the rock.

He hadn't spoken a word to anyone for ten days.

There was also a deep darkness in front of his eyes.

The riding space inside the sniper armor is extremely narrow, making it difficult for Ding Canghai to even turn over and lie flat.

After maintaining this half-squatting half-lying position for ten days, his muscles all over his body felt sore, and his heart felt even more dull and depressed.

If a person with claustrophobia falls into this environment, let alone ten days, he may not be able to hold it for a minute.

Ding Canghai can also be regarded as a strong-willed person. When he was a killer, he used to squat alone in an ambush point in the wild for several days, but now his heart is extremely empty and fearful.

His right hand was bent and stuck to his chest, he put the energy biscuit between his fingers and sent it to his mouth, chewing a few bites hard.

His mouth was dry, and the energy biscuits had soaked up his saliva, making it almost impossible to swallow.

He had to open his mouth, let the alloy hose used to deliver drinking water stretch out to his mouth, sucked a few more mouthfuls, and then quickly spit out the hose, not daring to drink more.

Ten days have passed, and the food supplies carried in the armor are still sufficient, but the drinking water has gradually become insufficient.

Few people would be lone rangers on space meteorites only wearing mechas. The design of the supply water tank inside the armor is not that big at all, and there is no internal circulation life support system.

Ding Canghai, who has experience in survival in the wild, saved his urine, which is now being packaged in plastic and stored in a storage bin.

If no information is obtained after two days, Ding Canghai may really have to produce and sell himself.

He sighed, and then glanced at the information delivered by the radio station, it was already pitch black.

Except for the base station of the Army Command, which was the first to cut off external communication and whose life and death were still uncertain, all the reconnaissance ships of the Third Reconnaissance Army have all "turned off their lights", which means that the huge reconnaissance army composed of 400 million people has been wiped out.

Dante Canghai still doesn't know what the enemy is.

He didn't dare to probe out to see the situation, and he didn't dare to establish communication with the army command base station and Xiao Wang's C1915 ground base station.

The luck in misfortune is that Ding Canghai himself is still alive so far, which shows that his deep lurking has achieved his goal.

In the same way, Ding Canghai speculated that Xiao Wang's base station on the surface of the planet and Xiao Wu's Luoyan boring machine may not have been discovered, and the base station of the army headquarters may still exist.

But he couldn't confirm it, and he didn't dare to rashly try to establish communication with anyone.

He could only wait here alone, anxiously guarding the slightest possibility.

But people sometimes waver, because the situation of the base station of the military headquarters, Xiao Wu and Xiao Wang has become Schrödinger's cat, and he has no idea at all.

Ding Canghai sometimes thinks that the enemy has already passed ten days, and the reconnaissance information obtained by other comrades in arms has also been screened. Indeed, some information is particularly important. Many space meteorites have the characteristics of strong magnetism, strong Radiation and other characteristics, some meteorites also have special source elements inside that can be used to increase the lethality of energy cannons.

Although he didn't know how Ren Zhong would use the information, his intuition as a professional intelligence officer told Ding Canghai that this information must be important.

he thought to himself.

Has the Army Command been discovered yet?

Is it possible that Xiao Wu, who went to the C1915 star core, encountered a geological disaster, or has he been swallowed by the high temperature of nuclear fusion?

Is Xiao Wang's base station still found?

Are they all dead?

Is it time for me to send back the information, or else, if I am suddenly found again, I will not even be able to send out the information I have in hand, wouldn't everyone be dead in vain?The brothers won't forgive me even if they die, right?

With all kinds of complicated and difficult thoughts, Ding Canghai made a decision secretly in his heart.

Wait for another two hours. If Xiao Wu hasn't given any information, I won't wait.

I can't let everyone's painstaking efforts go to waste for the information on C1915.

One hour, 46 minutes and 33 seconds later, Ding Canghai finally heard the sound of nature, and his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.

"Commander Ding, I am Xiao Wu. When you hear this information, I have been dead for three hours. I have collected enough parameters, and there is indeed nuclear fusion reaction here. But the temperature here is too high, electromagnetic interference The interference with the information flow is too strong, I can only use all the remaining spare energy on the force field shield to maintain the black box, and then let the black box automatically float up to a certain level along the liquid flow of the star mantle to send out the signal."

This is a piece of intelligence sent out with information flow as the carrier.

Behind this voice is a not-so-large data packet, which includes all the material composition, mass distribution, reaction temperature and other information inside C1915.

Ding Canghai was so excited that he almost jumped up, his head almost hit the top of the armor.

At this moment, he received new information from the army headquarters.

The information carrier is a non-directional all-area broadcast electromagnetic wave, rather than an information flow, and its expression is voice.
