"Hit the wrong target?" Yuze asked in shock, "How could it be possible that the target was so big?"
The target is an entire planet, how can this be wrong?
The scout's voice was also full of disbelief, and he said: "We didn't hit the Golden Battle Star just now, what we hit was an illusion!"
"What?" Yuze and other captains of the Pleiades civilization were suddenly shocked and angry, "An illusion? Such a big planet, with gravitational induction and energy radiation, how can it be an illusion?"
This is not a virtual universe, and their battleships are clearly on target.
"How can the phantom have gravity sensing? Our gravity sensor clearly detected that there is a planet there! Its gravity is real, and the planet's material disintegrated after it was hit by us!"
"Yes, its energy radiation is also very real! Does Blue Star Civilization still have the ability to create the illusion of an entire planet?"
They couldn't figure out what happened.
At this time, in the detector's picture, the fragmented "Golden Battle Star" turned into countless fragments and disappeared into the universe.
Energy radiation and gravitational effects disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if nothing had ever existed!
"What's going on?" Yuze felt as if he had seen a ghost. Even if the Golden Battle Star was cracked, its cracked parts should have the same mass. Why did these masses disappear instantly?
"Sir, not only the Golden Battle Star, but also the battleships we attacked just now are all illusions! We missed them!" The scout ship found more clues.
They had already approached those battleships, and then they discovered that what they were shooting at was a ball of light and shadow. This ball of light and shadow not only contained energy radiation, but also had a strong gravitational field, which misled their detection satellites.
"Sir, look!" A reconnaissance ship reported the latest information it had discovered. They came to a "battleship" and the detector directly penetrated its energy shield and armor.
In the light and shadow, there is a miniature battleship suspended.
This machine creates a strong gravitational field, and there are some space automatic weapons attacking.
"They created the illusion? How did they do this?" Yuze asked in shock. If it was just a light and shadow effect, they would not have noticed it at first.
The reconnaissance ship wanted to capture this machine, but the machine seemed to have sensed the enemy's invasion and destroyed itself.
They didn't even get the machine fragments. The scientists on the ship analyzed: "This should be a gravitational illusion maker."
"It contains an antimatter reactor and a gravitational field generator."
"A strong gravitational field can bend space and time, and light will also twist along with space and time, causing a gravitational lens effect, allowing observers to see one or more images formed by the bending of light!"
"Blue Star Civilization probably used this, using micro battleships to create one or more illusions, using strong gravitational fields to simulate the gravity of the battleship itself, as well as energy radiation."
"Our reconnaissance equipment mainly identifies enemy targets based on four points: light, gravitational effects, energy radiation, and space fluctuations!"
"And their gravitational illusion maker can cover up these four kinds of information at the same time, making us mistakenly think that a real battleship or battle star has appeared!"
"What do you mean? The Golden Battle Star just now was just a large-scale gravitational illusion maker?" Hearing their explanation, Yuze was shocked and angry. They had wasted so much effort and even the trump card planet given by Marquis Yunxiao was... The cracker was moved out, and the result was a vacuum!
"We've been fooled!" The captains reacted and immediately noticed something was wrong.
Their two main fleets are fighting illusions here, but what about the enemy's main fleet?
"Warning, star field defense line, an enemy fleet has appeared outside space stronghold No. 24, suspected to be the main fleet!" Their worries immediately became reality, and the warning came.
Space Base No. 24 is more than a hundred light years away from here. It will take some time for the main fleet to get there.
"Sir, we must return to defense immediately!" Yu Ze hurriedly requested for backup.
On the other side, Qinggu was annoyed. She finally took control of the fleet. She thought she would be victorious in the first battle, but she was tricked by the Blue Star Civilization using the illusion of gravity. Although they had no loss, this matter would also be a huge setback. Damage her prestige.
"The second fleet will return to defense, and the surrounding defense fleets will provide support." Qinggu ordered, "You stay here, occupy the sand people civilization, and build a defense system to prevent the enemy from attacking again."
"Yes!" Yuze was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent.
"The Blue Star civilization is so cunning. It actually has such a thing as a gravitational illusion maker!"
"Now we are in trouble!"
"Let the Academy of Sciences conduct analysis and develop a reconnaissance tool that can break the illusion of gravity as soon as possible!"
…
"This gravitational illusion maker is really easy to use!" At the Blue Star Alliance headquarters, the commanders couldn't help laughing when they saw the scene of the Pleiades civilization fleet being empty.
I don't know how much artillery fire was wasted in this wave of enemy fire, but it was all hit in a vacuum.
The planet cracker cracked a loneliness!
"This time we set out their planet cracker." He Xingzhou said, "Our battle stars must not face the planet cracker directly. This is a super weapon that can only be produced by civilizations above level 3.5. We cannot deal with it for a while."
"So the next tactics must be adjusted. We cannot meet the enemy's main force before we are absolutely sure!"
"While they haven't cracked the gravitational illusion, let them have all the troops!" Luo An said with a smile, "I have already arranged it, and then the Pleiades civilization will start to attack day and night!"
The Second Fleet of the Pleiades Civilization hurriedly returned to defense and headed to the 24th Stronghold of the Star Defense Line.
When they arrived, the defense measures of the stronghold had been removed by Blue Star Civilization, but their fleet did not continue to penetrate.
It seems to be waiting for the arrival of the second fleet.
"Attack!" The second fleet did not dare to slack off and immediately attacked this fleet.
However, when they opened fire, they discovered that the only ones left here were some unmanned warships and gravitational illusion makers.
"Have we been cheated again?" The captains were itching with hatred.
Qinggu took a deep breath and said: "It is foreseeable that they will repeatedly use this method to harass us. Next time, we will send a small team to assist in defense. After confirming that it is the main force of the enemy, the main fleet will rush over."
She had just finished speaking when another alert came from the intelligence system.
"Warning, star field defense line, enemy fleet was discovered at stronghold No. 47, suspected to be the main fleet, gold battle star was discovered, gold battle star appeared, requesting support!"
"This...is sending a small fleet?" The subordinates hesitated. If this fleet is real, the Golden Battle Star can push their defenses all the way!
Without the main fleet and planet cracker, they cannot stop the attack of Blue Star Civilization.
"Once Stronghold 47 is breached, the enemy can quickly reach our core circle." The subordinate reminded.
Qing Gu gritted her teeth and said, "Let the First Fleet go over and intercept!"
She didn't dare to bet, because the enemy could feint attack a hundred times. As long as she lost the bet once, the Pleiades civilization would suffer a huge blow.
The First Fleet hurriedly rushed to Stronghold No. 47. When they arrived, Blue Star Civilization also removed the stronghold here. The Golden Battle Star with the main fleet had even captured a star system and broke through to the core circle of Pleiades Civilization. .
"Attack with gravity weapons first!" This time, the captains of the Pleiades civilization learned the lesson and attacked the Golden Battle Star first, and then looked at the effect feedback to determine whether it was real.
The gravitational weapons passed through the warp bubble, and before they reached the Golden Battle Star, they were disturbed by the strong gravitational field. The warp bubble shattered, and each weapon self-destructed on the spot.
"This Golden Battle Star should be real!" They were roughly sure.
"Use the planet cracker!" The planet cracker was also loaded and transported by them on a level nine warp speed battleship.
The planet cracker flew next to the Golden Battle Star and started to activate.
The gravitational waves cracked the Golden Battle Star in a very short period of time, but after it cracked, they discovered that it was empty again!
This golden battle star is made more realistic. It is not a gravitational illusion, but a real planet. It is equipped with a warp engine, but it is not a battle star!
The Blue Star Civilization used a barren planet disguised as a battle star, and coupled with the effect of the gravitational illusion maker, it deceived them again!
The gravitational illusion just now was a pure phantom, but this time, it was equivalent to a puppet doll. Blue Star Civilization has long anticipated their vigilance, and their disguise methods have also been upgraded!
"Damn it!" Qinggu finally realized the frustration of Zigu leading the troops to fight against Blue Star Civilization. It was really hard to guard against it!
Blue Star Civilization did not give them time to think, react and upgrade their reconnaissance methods, and the warning sounded again.
"Warning, star field defense line, No. 2, No. 7, No. 11, No. 14, No. 22, No. 26... The enemy fleet was discovered at stronghold 89 at the same time, requesting support!"
This warning notice immediately confused Qing Gu. More than 30 strongholds were attacked!
And every announcement is suspected to be the enemy's main fleet.
Just over twenty strongholds of the "Golden Battle Star" were discovered!
The Blue Star Civilization definitely does not have twenty battle stars, otherwise they would have unified the M45 star cluster long ago.
But who knows which one is real?
Their main fleet has no time to take care of so many strongholds.
Qinggu suddenly realized that the war had just begun and she was already completely passive. She was completely fooled by the enemy. She could not even take into account the attack or defense, let alone the attack.
"Which one is true?" Qinggu asked her subordinates. The space military experts in the think tank also hesitated and couldn't explain why.
Someone said: "There is no way for us to guess like this. It is better to just ignore it and directly attack the Blue Star Civilization area and force their main fleet to return to defense!"
Qinggu thought for a while and said: "Let the third fleet continue to attack, and the second fleet and the first fleet divide their forces for defense. They will quickly gather together after discovering the enemy's real main force!"
"We have the advantage of mobility. Even if we are captured by several strongholds and star systems, we can quickly regain them. The core circle of the Pleiades civilization is still safe."
…
What Qinggu didn't expect was that none of the more than thirty main fleets were real!
Originally, He Xingzhou's plan was to let Jin Zhizhi star lead the border defense fleet to attack several star systems, but now that the planet cracker appeared, he had no way to deal with it, so he simply let Jin Zhizhi star and the border defense fleet continue their defensive mission.
A large number of unmanned fleets are mixed into the gravitational illusion, which can also destroy enemy strongholds and defenses.
The border fleet once again returned to the vicinity of the Sand People civilization to defend against the attack of the Third Fleet.
…
"The easiest way to defend against the planet cracker is to destroy it directly. But our reconnaissance machine found that it did not fly at warp speed, and our defense system was unable to defend it immediately." Xie Wu Report some findings about the planet cracker to He Xingzhou.
He Xingzhou said firmly: "With a distance of 0.5 light-years, we will arrive almost instantly!"
"And we can't detect it, so there's only one possibility! The planet cracker approaches the target through hyperspace jump, so we can't deal with it!"
Hyperspace jump technology is a technology that can only be mastered by civilizations above level 3.5.
Its navigation method is different from that of warp navigation. When it is traveling at warp speed, it cannot be seen by ordinary detectors because it creates a warp bubble, distorts space, and moves too fast, so that information such as light cannot be transmitted to the observer in time. .
Hyperspace jump, on the other hand, leaves this spatial dimension and travels to other dimensions in a short period of time, achieving an effect similar to teleportation through high-latitude shuttles.
Similar to a subspace information transmission device, it uses the effect of information transmission in subspace to span countless light years. Hyperspace jump is to move physical matter through higher dimensions!
Precisely because it is not in three-dimensional space when it sails, these conventional detectors naturally cannot find its location and cannot lock and destroy it.
"If it's a hyperspace jump, this question is out of scope!" Xie Wu said helplessly, "Currently we don't understand the hyperspace jump technology at all."
"We don't have the weapons to hit hyperspace and destroy the planet breaker."
He Xingzhou thought for a moment and said: "You are right, we really can't destroy the planet cracker that can make hyperspace jumps now - but we can interfere with it!"
"Interfering with hyperspace jump?" Xie Wu asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" He Xingzhou said, "Our weapons cannot lock on to the target and cannot reach other dimensions, but gravitational waves can transcend dimensions!"
"The influence of strong gravity not only affects the three-dimensional world, but also affects the low-dimensional and high-dimensional world."
"The planet cracker is also a gravitational wave weapon. We are not yet proficient in gravitational wave weapons, but it should be possible to create some disruptive gravitational waves."
"Releasing a large number of gravitational wave disruptors around the battle star will inevitably affect the hyperspace jump of the planet cracker."
"Just like gravitational weapons that interfere with warp navigation, as long as it exits the hyperspace jump state early, we have a chance to destroy it before it launches!"
"You can give this a try," Xie Wu said, "Just take advantage of this wave of feints to try it with the gravitational wave jammer!"
At this time, the Pleiades civilization is anxious, and they are also thinking about how to see through the illusion of gravity. Until they see through the illusion of gravity, they will remain passive.
As for the attack of the third fleet, He Xingzhou is not worried at all. He wants to penetrate the Blue Star civilization without sending the first fleet and the second fleet over. The commander of the Pleiades civilization also thinks that they are too weak!
After so many years of interstellar construction, all kinds of space facilities are available within the territory of Blue Star Civilization.
The built space fortresses and space outposts alone are enough to withstand the attack of a star-level main fleet.
Both sides are attacking and defending each other at the same time. The three main fleets of the Blue Star Civilization in the Zerg-occupied areas have also approached the Pleiades border.
