Chapter 386 Ghost
The high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam detected by the detection device left by Chen Ming is not too rare in the universe.
After all, stellar activity means that a large amount of radiation is emitted by the star.
Such high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beams can only be regarded as one of the various natural phenomena that stars have.
Nothing noteworthy per se.
but.
At this time, the high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam observed by Chen Ming was not just an ordinary high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beam, but its existence was also accompanied by a special law.
That is, the time interval between two bursts of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation beams from stars is shortening at the same time interval. It is expected that the interval between two bursts of electromagnetic radiation beams will completely return to zero in three hours.
And this situation didn't just happen to one star, but it happened to three stars at the same time.
Of course, it's not that there are three star systems in one galaxy, but that there are stars from three relatively close galaxies appearing at the same time.
There is nothing wrong with the stars in these three galaxies. They are different types of stars that are relatively common in the universe.
But when seen together they are quite special.
They are A-type stars, G-type stars and M-type stars in astronomical concepts, which just cover the star types that can be roughly divided into strong light, weak light and intermediate categories in the spectrum.
The color difference between them is also very clear, with the blue-white color of A-type stars, the yellow-white color of G-type stars, and the red color of M-type stars.
The presence of stars of three spectral intensities in three galaxies very close to each other is very special in itself, and it is even more outrageous to see the periodic release of electromagnetic radiation beams to the outside at the same time.
Not to mention the periodicity of this radiation beam emission
This almost makes Chen Ming 100% sure that something will definitely happen in the galaxy, and he must go and take a look.
Chen Ming immediately got two Supreme Point ships and made the jump together with his own ship. They arrived at three different galaxies and began to scan the electromagnetic signals in the galaxies, confirming that what he just received came from him. The data of the reconnaissance equipment left before is correct.
The stars in these three galaxies are emitting beams of electromagnetic radiation at the same frequency.
Moreover, the radiation beams emitted by these three stars coincidentally point to a galaxy that is not too far away.
Judging from the results of preliminary reconnaissance conducted by Chen Ming during this period.
There were no stars in that galaxy, just a pulsar where the stars should have been.
Pulsars are a type of neutron star.
A neutron star is a star with a density smaller than a black hole formed when a star reaches the end of its evolution and undergoes a supernova explosion due to gravitational collapse. When the mass of the star does not reach the limit of forming a black hole, the star collapses at the end of its life.
A small number of neutron stars periodically emit electromagnetic pulses, which are called pulsars.
It is obviously a neutron star that should emit electromagnetic pulses to the outside world, but it is strangely absorbing electromagnetic radiation beams from distant stars.
This situation made Chen Ming, who had not encountered anything for more than two months, suddenly think back to the time two months ago.
So he immediately set off in person, controlled the highest point to jump, and immediately arrived at the pulsar galaxy.
His spacecraft had just arrived at the edge of the galaxy and was already experiencing a large amount of radio radiation.
Once these radiations penetrate the armor and hull of the spacecraft, they may cause damage to the electronic circuits of the spacecraft and even cause damage to the personnel inside the spacecraft.
But Chen Ming is not afraid of this.
After all, the Supreme Point is also a specialized exploration ship. From the beginning of the design, the situation of encountering stars of different types, ages, and aging has been taken into consideration. Pulsars are obviously also within the scope of consideration.
Therefore, the outer layer of the armor of the spacecraft at the highest point has a special stellar protective coating, which can be used to protect against various types and intensity of radiation.
If necessary, Chen Ming can even turn on the shield at the highest point. The shield can also protect against radiation to a certain extent.
What's more, he still has psychic powers that can be used to repair the spacecraft.
In addition, the body he is currently using is also made using advanced biotechnology, so he is not afraid of radiation at all.
No matter how restricted this place is, it is not a big problem for Chen Ming.
He immediately moved the spacecraft forward and continued to the interior of the galaxy to conduct a more detailed investigation.
However, he was not too stubborn, and still chose the route slightly, so that the spacecraft would try to hide behind the completely lifeless planets in the galaxy in an area where it would not be swept by the terrifying pulses emitted by the pulsar.
And some smaller spacecraft were released, equipped with reconnaissance equipment, and began to stare at the radiation values close to the pulsar.
These small spaceships were all new ones he had just built and he had never used them before.
But there should be no problem with the spaceship technology.
Because it is not that there are no pulsars in the empire, research on pulsars has always been carried out, and of course similar spacecraft technology also exists.
This type of spacecraft can almost completely isolate the huge amount of radiation emitted by the pulsar and conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance of the pulsar's galaxy.
Chen Ming just happens to have mastered this kind of technology, and it just happens that it can be used now.
This is used to record the conditions inside the galaxy and the weird electromagnetic pulse signals emitted from distant galaxies.
However, several spacecraft flew around the pulsar and found no other abnormalities.
Only the electromagnetic radiation beams emitted by those three stars are absorbed by the pulsar.
There was nothing else, and Chen Ming couldn't figure out what caused this situation at all.
Even if he has almost finished recording the data in the galaxy, he will send the obtained data to the Fanchao Research Institute.
They have never had any similar records there, but they hope that Chen Ming can get more data and send it to them for them to study.
So it seems that Chen Ming can only deal with this matter by himself.
Then Chen Ming had no choice but to make some preparations based on the situation two months ago.
Then he did just one thing.
wait.
Waiting to see what happens there with the pulsar, waiting to see what happens with the information from those three stars of different colors.
And, wait and see what will happen to him here.
After waiting for almost three hours.
Chen Ming did not wait for the expected thing to happen, but he waited until the pulsar changed.
At the moment when the periodic electromagnetic pulse emission intervals of the three stars dropped to zero, suddenly there was only silence left in the electromagnetic frequency band detection channels he left in those three galaxies.
The star returned to normal and no longer emitted beams of electromagnetic radiation.
Although there has been no further confirmation and investigation, Chen Ming feels that those three star systems do not need to be monitored for the time being.
Because at this time, he found a Leviathan on the surface of the pulsar in the galaxy through the small spacecraft released from the highest point.
It was a kind of giant blue jellyfish that looked like something similar in size to a scavenger robot.
With eight tentacles of varying lengths, the structure is very simple and clear.
It flies out from the north pole of the pulsar, that is, near the area where the planet periodically releases huge amounts of radio pulses, and is rapidly rising into the sky, trying to escape the planet's gravity.
That's the area where the entire pulsar emits the most radio pulses.
The amount of radiation carried by these radio pulses may pose a threat to the entire galaxy and even neighboring galaxies, and such a Leviathan that can emerge from here may have similar power.
Chen Ming detected the same pulse on three stars of different colors near his Gaia galaxy.
He seriously doubted that this guy would go directly to those three galaxies after breaking away from the pulsar's gravity.
And those three galaxies are not too far away from Chen Ming's Gaia galaxy.
The possible consequences are absolutely unacceptable to Chen Ming.
He must not let this dangerous Leviathan, which releases huge amounts of radiation, threaten his colony.
Just before the jellyfish Leviathan had time to break away from the pulsar's gravity.
A large swath of jump fluctuations enveloped its head.
The Zerg fleet called by Chen Ming arrived here in just ten seconds.
As before, the first attack was just a tentative attack. Chen Ming still arranged for two hundred Zerg Hercules-class battleships.
One half holds arc weapons and the other half holds a variety of weapons for testing purposes.
After all, Chen Ming encountered unknown enemies and had no idea what kind of weapons their armor or skin was resistant to.
You have to try them all to see which weapon is the most suitable.
As soon as the Zerg fleet entered the galaxy, it was affected by the terrifying radiation of the pulsar.
Although the Zerg biological warships have gained very powerful plasma resistance and high temperature resistance through the effect of the astral fluid, their radiation resistance has also increased to a certain extent.
But ordinary stars do not emit such a huge amount of radiation compared to pulsars.
This put the Zerg fleet in a disadvantageous environment as soon as it came up. Every inch of the Zerg's organs was being burned by radiation and was recovering from the supply of energy.
As long as it doesn't suffer serious damage, it can barely maintain the stability of the Zerg warship.
But fortunately, Chen Ming still put some effort into the electronic system, so that the control system of the non-biological weapons equipped on the Zerg warships did not suffer too much interference and could still continue to operate.
This allows the Zerg fleet to launch a surprise attack on Leviathan despite the burning radiation in the galaxy.
The purple arc that penetrates the vacuum connects the Zerg warship to the Leviathan, which is flying over the pulsar.
The brilliant energy beam enveloped Leviathan's body, followed by countless live bullets bombarding Leviathan's body.
There are also various weapons unique to the Zerg warships that are also blasting towards Leviathan.
But when all this fancy light pollution dissipates.
The jellyfish-shaped Leviathan was almost unscathed, with only some scratches left by live ammunition, and these injuries quickly disappeared completely.
Judging from the data captured by the spacecraft just now, it is not just the physical strength of this Leviathan that is terrifying.
There are also environmental factors involved.
The harsh environment of the pulsar has caused most weapons to be severely interfered with.
Energy weapons will be dispersed by the pulsar's radiation energy, and live weapons will be distorted by the pulsar's gravity.
Explosive weapons were detonated by radiation before they could hit, and the Zerg bio-warfare biological missiles had no chance of getting close to the pulsar, let alone hitting Leviathan.
The only thing that can truly hit this Leviathan is an arc weapon.
But it happened that in this battle, Chen Ming encountered a situation where the arc weapon was completely ineffective. This Leviathan seems to be born from a pulsar
All arcs cannot cause substantial damage even if they hit
Even when the Zerg fleet's arc hit for the second time, the Leviathan seemed to trigger some kind of reaction, and its jellyfish-like body erupted with violent pulses like a pulsar.
Although the pulse emitted by the jellyfish Leviathan weakens far less than the pulse emitted by the pulsar, the pulse it releases is wide-ranging.
The destructive electromagnetic pulse directly penetrated the paint specially placed on the weapons by Chen Ming, causing all the additional electronic equipment on the Zerg warship to be overloaded, and no weapon could continue to operate.
The electromagnetic pulse even triggered a violent pulse activity of the pulsar. The radiation value in the galaxy instantly increased by at least 50%, causing the body of every Zerg warship to suffer severe damage.
Amid the grand electromagnetic pulse fluctuations, the Leviathan suddenly entered a transition state and disappeared into this dangerous galaxy.
Chen Ming didn't even have time to stop him, so he could only find a way to catch up.
But he immediately discovered that he didn't seem to need to analyze the jump data specifically to track the disappearing Leviathan.
Because he stayed in one of the three galaxies that emitted electromagnetic radiation beams, and had seen the disappearing Leviathan appear in the galaxy with blue A-type stars.
Chen Ming immediately asked the damaged Zerg fleet to return to rest, and asked the Zerg Queen to prepare a new batch of fleets.
After waiting for a while to ensure that the insect queen was ready, he jumped to the edge of the blue A-type galaxy.
At the highest point, a high radiation warning was issued.
It seems that in just a few minutes, Leviathan has spread its radiation throughout the galaxy.
Obviously if this thing goes to the Gaia galaxy, what a terrible impact it will have.
Chen Ming's heart sank.
But he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
There seems to be a unique connection between stars and Leviathan.
It seems that their respective spectral frequencies are the same, which allows the star to establish a strange relationship with Leviathan at this time.
This relationship is not that the star is supplying Leviathan's energy, but that the star is draining Leviathan's energy.
Both the energy level and the amount of radiation emitted by Leviathan have been reduced by more than half compared to those in the pulsar galaxy.
Chen Ming immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
Quickly let the fleet prepared by the Insect Queen jump over, hoping to hunt down Leviathan while it is weak.
But what happened next was beyond his expectation.
Leviathan in the galaxy once again erupted with a violent electromagnetic pulse before the arrival of the Zerg fleet. Just like before, it jumped again and disappeared into the galaxy, appearing in the yellow-white G-type star galaxy.
This time, probably because of the different spectral frequencies, the star wasn't actively absorbing its energy.
But it actively releases energy into the star.
Before Chen Ming could figure out what it was going to do, he saw it jump again and appear in the red M-type star galaxy and do the same thing.
Just when Chen Ming was on guard in case the destination of its next jump was the Gaia galaxy.
Leviathan chose to return to the blue-white A-type star galaxy.
Its power was once again absorbed by the star, and it itself became weaker than before.
All of this happened in a blink of an eye, so that when Leviathan came back again, the Zerg fleet just jumped here at this time.
Chen Ming directly ordered the Zerg fleet to launch a full-scale attack without any reservations, just to kill the Leviathan as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Because he saw a picture from other perspectives that made him extremely dizzy.
To be precise, two images.
Just after this blue jellyfish-like Leviathan returned to the A-type star galaxy.
The surfaces of the stars in the two star systems it had just visited had unexpectedly violent fluctuations.
Along with the sudden increase in radiation value in the galaxy, two more Leviathans emerged from the star.
They are the same as the blue jellyfish-like Leviathan, only different in color.
The light of the stars seemed to dim a bit at this moment.
And the two newly-appeared orange and red jellyfish Leviathan are also struggling to escape the constraints of the star's gravity.
The appearance of the three-colored Leviathan let him know he couldn't delay any longer.
Even though he observed that the two Leviathans were still disturbed by stars when they were in galaxies with their own spectral frequencies.
But he didn't dare to bet on whether these three Leviathans would get together.
He had to deal with them all as quickly as possible.
Chen Ming continued to give the Insect Queen the order to summon more Zerg fleets.
The main Zerg fleet in the A-type star system rushed towards the blue Leviathan, which had just returned to the star system and was heading towards the star.
When the arc weapons were completely ineffective, Chen Ming could only equip all the Zerg warships with live ammunition main weapons learned from the mechanical race's live ammunition spine cannon based on the previous battle situation and his own speculation.
The wave of raids by the Zerg fleet seemed to have an effect. The blue Leviathan's body had numerous scars left by live ammunition. Scratches, bruises, and penetrating wounds could all be seen on its body.
But this did not affect Leviathan's actions at all.
As if all the injuries were just decorations with the name "Injury", it continued to travel to the star without being affected at all.
In this process, even if the star is still withdrawing its power, it will completely repair all the injuries on its body.
Live weapons can harm Leviathan, but cannot cause truly meaningful and effective damage.
It has no fatal parts, no weak points.
The only way to solve it seems to be to destroy him completely.
Chen Ming understands the priorities of things and knows what is truly important.
If the fleet cannot defeat it, there is only one option left.
Chen Ming once again issued an order to the Zerg fleet.
Thousands of Zerg capital ships started their jump engines the moment they received his order.
During the jump, all the internal organs of these Zerg warships are being converted into activated energy crystals, just to explode with the most terrifying power at the last moment.
The jump waves of thousands of capital ships surrounded the advancing Leviathan.
And when the first Zerg battleship escaped from the jump and appeared in front of Leviathan, Leviathan was completely enveloped in continuous explosions and flames.
A violent electromagnetic pulse suddenly burst out from the center of the fire.
The aftermath of the capital ship's self-destruction was swept away from this area.
Leviathan had no intention of continuing to entangle with the Zerg fleet reinforcements that could arrive at any time. Suddenly, an acceleration touched the surface of the A-type star and sank into the interior of the star. No trace could be found anymore.
The self-destruction of these thousands of Zerg warships seems to have caused no effective damage to it at all, and is not even as effective as the live ammunition weapons just now.
This outrageous gap made Chen Ming frown.
Although he still has more Zerg warships on hand, self-destruction may not be a good option.
And this is just one galaxy, there are Leviathans in two other galaxies waiting for him to solve.
Looking at the other two galaxies, the two Leviathans, one yellow and one red, that were struggling to get out of the stars just now, have disappeared.
It's not that they ran away, but that they had already hid in the star when Chen Ming asked the Zerg fleet to self-destruct.
They lurked and made no further moves.
This is also what worries Chen Ming very much.
But Chen Ming's expression gradually calmed down.
If the Zerg's fighting power is not enough compared to the three-color Leviathan, then he can actually choose another fighting method.
It's up to him to play in person.
Chen Ming clenched his fist.
A layer of biological armor protection instantly appeared on the arm.
Pure biological armor has no advantages over the armor of Zerg warships except flexibility.
But if combined with Chen Ming's own strength, he could do much more than the Zerg fleet.
There's just one problem.
The three Leviathans are all hidden in the stars, and Chen Ming still has no way to directly enter the stars without being affected.
He would at least have to wait until his research project on astral phagocytosis progressed before he could enter the interior of the star.
So he could only wait.
Wait for the Leviathans that suddenly appeared to leave the star, and give him a chance to kill them.
And at the same time.
The remnant space station.
In the dark environment, those few voices were still communicating directly.
"The ghosts helped, but not much."
"No, it's enough. With the level of human technology, it is impossible to conduct an in-depth observation of the state of the ghost. They cannot find that the state of the blue ghost is already very bad. They will only feel that the ghost is waiting for an opportunity."
< br>
"If they were smart enough they wouldn't continue to 'waste' resources on self-destruction."
"But I never remember a Thrawn bio-warship having such capabilities."
"I've never known anyone to be able to raise these creatures, not even us."
The space station was quiet for a while, and the survivors didn't seem to want to talk about this topic.
"What we have to do is to find ways to continue to use ghosts to put pressure on humans and let them know that they have no means to destroy ghosts and can only rely on us."
"Chen Ming doesn't seem to have this intention. He doesn't seem to have considered us at all. Was what you did before the right thing?"
Nami did not respond to this question, but said: "Then take the initiative to mention this matter during the next transaction and let the ghost delay it until the day of the next transaction."
