Chapter 146 Were you the one who attracted the enemy?

This battle in the "Rivendell Galaxy" may be a great battle worthy of being recorded in the history of the galaxy.

While most of the galactic civilizations were intensively promoting the progress of "fungus control" behind the defense line, the defense fleet here was engaged in an earth-shattering battle with "Cordyceps Disease".

As the name "Valley Galaxy" suggests, this galaxy is in a "valley"-like interstellar position and is a "passage" galaxy.

Even if we could bypass this place and advance from other galaxies, the time would be more than ten times higher.

Hyperspace lanes do not necessarily connect every star system to each other.

It has been discovered more than once in the Milky Way that some galaxies that are very close to each other in celestial distance, and which should logically be connected by hyperspace channels, miraculously do not have hyperspace channels connecting them.

Obviously, it only takes one hyperspace voyage, but in fact, we have to travel through four or five galaxies in the Milky Way before we can finally reach that "close at hand" place.

Although scientists in the galaxy have more or less guessed that the hyperspace channel was built by an ancient civilization, if this is the case, they would like to ask why these creators did this in the first place?

The galaxies near the "Valley Galaxy" are in this position, and the only remaining relatively nearby galaxies are also temporarily blocked from the route crossing by highly toxic gas prepared in advance.

This toxin has been proven to be effective against "Cordyceps", and in order to produce a large amount of poison gas that can maintain sufficient density within a distance of several astronomical units, many robots have been scrapped on the production line.

Now this batch of poisonous gas that temporarily blocked the hyperspace channel was all that the galactic civilizations could produce at the moment, and all of it was used in this battle.

They did play a certain blocking role. The expansion of "Cordyceps Disease" was delayed, and a large number of "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" began to pour into the preset trap - the Rivendell Galaxy.

The defenders here are a temporary federation led by first-line civilizations. They are not only the second batch of civilizations to withstand the impact of the "Cordyceps Disease", but they also shoulder many responsibilities.

They need to delay here long enough to test the killing effect of the new weapon on the "Cordyceps Creatures" and obtain more corpse samples.

There are many research topics on "Cordyceps", but the key issues have not yet been solved.

According to the information currently known, the "civilization" formed by "Cordyceps" does not have any communication capabilities.

These fungi are likely to be completely devoid of intelligence, relying solely on instinct to expand disorderly, and are unaware of the "passage" nodes in the star map.

They may send additional manpower to replenish the "Rivendale Galaxy" due to a large amount of damage, but they will never attack here because they realize that this is a "key point".

Facts have proved that this guess is correct. There is no difference between the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" that came to the "River Valley Galaxy" and the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" that invaded other galaxies.

Located at the edge of the galaxy here are a large number of booby traps. Because it is known that those strange fungi have a powerful repair effect on corpses, these booby traps are made with the most powerful explosives.

Many of them are antiques from thousands of years ago. Space booby traps have not appeared in battles for an unknown period of time, but they did not expect to be revived in the battle against "Cordyceps".

The main battle formation led by the Titan flagship was docked at a safe location in the galaxy, and all main guns had already been charged.

As soon as the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" appears, these main warships will launch a salvo, causing the first round of attrition to the "Cordyceps Disease".

Even if 80% of this batch of attrition personnel can be resurrected after a period of time, it will take up the time of the "Cordyceps Disease", and delaying time is also their important purpose.

In addition, the small interstellar defense turrets and other "fighting fleets" here are all equipped with "virus missiles", which use this explosive weapon with a "300%" killing effect on fungi to cause heavy damage to the enemy.

The large-scale interstellar defense fort located near the star is loaded with the latest research results of the "Star Sea Community"-matter decomposer.

This is one of the technologies extracted from the legacy left by the "Silent Ones". The original "Galaxy Community" was dedicated to discovering lost production technologies and first improving the overall development efficiency of galactic civilization.

However, the sudden "Cordyceps" crisis shifted the focus of research. The weapons used by these high-dimensional creatures were eventually analyzed and controlled by civilizations in this dimension and used to fight against new "natural disasters".

This "high-dimensional weapon" that destroys by distorting the laws of physics can cause fatal damage to the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet".

Objects that are directly hit will evaporate directly out of thin air. It only takes a few more hits to cause a corpse to lose more than 98% of its material.

This is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for fungi that need to sew up corpses, not to mention that those fungi will also "evaporate out of thin air" under the irradiation of the material decomposer.

Therefore, the defense battle of "River Valley Galaxy" had a good start at the beginning of the battle, and it was a familiar scene.

The "Material Decomposer" has also been proven to have an extremely good killing effect on the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet", and more observation data and improved conjectures have been uploaded to the "Star Sea Community".

Everything was going in the right direction until the "Cordyceps mythical creature" and the "cemetery planet" came to this galaxy.

The Space Whale Clan Mother and the Split Claw Dragon took the lead and changed the direction of the scale.

The effective material decomposer has limited effect on the clan mother. A large enough body is the best defense method.

Although part of its body disappeared, the hyphae in its body began to capture the scraps of flesh in space to repair the wounds that had been "evaporated".

The Space Whale Clan Mother attracted the firepower, and the Split Claw Dragon following behind her had room to play.

The dragon's breath beam that had been brewing for a long time was fired at those large defensive forts. The shield in front of the forts failed to have any deflection effect, and the armor on the forts turned into a pool of molten iron after withstanding it for half a second.

With such a sweep, it destroyed several large defensive forts, causing the defensive fleet and forts to shift their attack focus to this "mythical creature" with extremely strong long-range attack capabilities.

However, what is inconsistent with its huge size is that the Split Claw Dragon has extraordinary maneuverability.

Countless rounds of matter decomposers and particle lances had missed it, leaving the gunner regretting that it was "just a little bit close".

Even though some attacks did hit the Split Claw Dragon, similar to the Space Whale Clan Mother, a large enough body is the best defense, and a little injury does not affect their activities.

So the main fleet stationed here focused their firepower on the Space Whale Clan Mother. This "mythical creature" did not have the mobility of the Split Claw Dragon.

However, due to the lack of heavy fire support from friendly parties, the pressure on the fighting fleets at the forefront of the war began to increase.

The emergence of the "cemetery planet" allowed those fragmented corpses to be assembled faster, and all floating corpses gained a dangerous life.

It can be seen that a certain elite combatant killed the same Cordyceps creature no less than ten times in one day, and finally called a matter decomposer attack to completely kill the Cordyceps creature.

Although the "Virus Missile" is very effective against one person, as long as it hits, it will make the Cordyceps creature lose its combat effectiveness on the spot.

However, the resurrection effect of the "Graveyard Planet" is too terrifying, and the toxins that can affect individual organisms have very limited effects at the scale of the planet.

Perhaps as envisaged by the Provisional Joint Agency, only toxins capable of killing a planet can be effective on the "cemetery planet", but even tens of thousands of missiles of that magnitude will be ineffective.

It would be better to study a "violent poison" that can completely kill the "cemetery planet" with just one missile, but this way it can basically declare that the galactic threat of "Cordyceps Disease" has been resolved.

As a result, the battle line continued to advance toward the galaxy fortress above the star. The coalition's fleet was losing money every moment, and the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" seemed endless.

However, even though the defeat of the battle was inevitable, the garrison here still made outstanding contributions.

After all, the space whale mother who was set on fire could not withstand the intensive attacks of large main guns and countless missiles. Enough damage still caused this ancient body to return to silence.

The originally huge body has lost a lot of weight, and a large number of explosion marks are all over its body.

There are many misfired missiles left in its body, which would cause further damage if they could be detonated.

Not only were light spears and matter decomposers attacking it, such a huge body was also a good target for virus missiles. After a huge amount of toxins were injected into it, the parasitic fungi in its body also briefly fell into slumber.

But it is not "dead". Will the body that has died long ago die again?

As long as its physical body is still preserved, the "Graveyard Planet" will be able to awaken this huge beast sooner or later.

But it is enough for the coalition forces here. At least for this period of time, the mother of the space whale clan will disappear from the battlefield.

In addition to the clan mother, the Splitclaw Dragon also suffered considerable damage.

Although its terrifying dragon's breath beam destroyed a large number of large defensive forts, many battleships also exploded under the light.

But the coalition forces also penetrated its "wings". This strange biological organ seemed to have provided it with flexible mobility, but now it hung precariously on its body, failing to play its intended role.

If this giant space beast had not destroyed many coalition forces, thus easing the pressure on it, it might have ended up sleeping here.

The tenacious resistance of the "Valley Galaxy" continued until the poisonous gas deployed in other galaxies was broken through, and the expansion of "Cordyceps" will no longer only proceed through here.

But the time they persisted is still gratifying. Perhaps as the "merciful adopters" said, as long as they stick to one place and use appropriate weapons, they can completely eliminate these "space undead".

After the orderly evacuation, only the horrific battlefield debris was left in the "River Valley Galaxy", and one could even sense the smell of gunpowder smoke permeating the vacuum through vision.

There are only countless metal fragments and space junk floating around, changing their trajectories as they collide with each other.

Perhaps after the "Cordyceps Disease" crisis is over, someone will come to recover the wreckage here. But it is also possible that this place will become a permanent battlefield site, serving as proof of the bloody battle throughout the galaxy.

"Cordyceps" is still raging, and everyone is working together to find a solution.

Even though the second line of defense has been broken through, this battle still gave the "Galaxy Community" a huge impetus. The valuable data on the battlefield and the corpse samples that were fought hard to snatch provided more information for the study of "fungal prevention and control" methods.

possible.

Many optimization measures have already begun, but at this time there is still some distance before the "Cordyceps Disease" reaches the final line of defense, and the countdown to the threat from the "merciful takers" has not yet come to an end.

Not only is civilization as a whole making efforts, but civilized individuals are also trying to find new ways to prevent crises.

"My name is Lone Wolf, and today is the 270th day of my 525th interstellar adventure."

This lone wolf explorer took his spaceship and narrowly avoided an incoming asteroid, but still calmly recorded his diary.

He is an unknown "interstellar legend", and his 525 interstellar expeditions are enough to explain a lot of problems.

Some people will never even go on one interstellar adventure in their lifetime, but he has gone on more than five hundred and is still alive today.

He never showed off his achievements, but kept recording his diary day after day, writing it by hand and recording the data. Perhaps until his death, the Milky Way would not know that such a "legendary explorer" had ever been active in the

World.

"The spread of 'Cordyceps Disease' is extraordinary. Many people in the galaxy call it a 'natural disaster', and I think so too."

"The power of a single individual seems to have no effect in this galactic crisis. Perhaps the most important thing I should do is to give up my wandering life, join a mercenary group, and then die on the battlefield."

"But before that, I might be able to try some methods that will help curb the 'Cordyceps Disease'."

The diary ends here. The lone wolf steered the spacecraft to avoid an oncoming meteorite, and then saw the creature chasing behind him through the spacecraft's equipment.

Without exception, these creatures have fungal hyphae that break out of the body, and are infected by fungi from the inside out. What are they if they are not "cordyceps organisms"?

"Cordyceps" is expanding according to their instincts, and ordinary lure methods cannot disrupt their pace at all.

They always maintain a huge biomass of Cordyceps for advancement, and will not cause the fungi in a certain place to detach due to the attraction of foreign objects.
