Xing Xiao smiled and said, "Isn't it enough to help you pull the fleet here, my dear lord?"

Seeing that Jiang Lianqiu didn't answer, Xing Xiao laughed again.

"Give me that advancing heavy fleet."

"Yes, Hood, correct the command structure immediately."

The flames of destruction enveloped Xing Xiao's body, and the Lord of Extinction quickly disappeared from the bridge.

At the same time, the counterattack of our own fleet was finally launched.

The tachyon light spears spewed out by the axis-based main gun swept across the battlefield ahead at superluminal speed, illuminating the originally dark space.

A group of Suzheng warships that had just taken off from the broken star ring were hit head-on by a heavy hammer. After a brief moment of support, their shields were melted and torn apart with a mournful cry, and the ships themselves exploded in the air into fireworks stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers.

And this is just a corner of the battlefield.

Looking at the battle reports flashing on the screen, Jiang Lianqiu was thinking about a question.

He asked the Black Tower, who had been silent from the beginning and seemed to be thinking about something: "Tell me, why can the other side launch a sudden attack without any warning? We can't be wrong in calculating the speed of space-time collapse."

Chapter 410: Black Tower: I think Su Zheng might have been doing the same thing back then

Heita finally shifted his gaze away from the light screen in front of him with a strange look on his face.

"Is there really no backdoor in your command chain?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Hood denied without hesitation.

"So, how do you explain why you identified some of the signals from the Rectification Protocol as friendly messages?"

Heita's light words instantly made Jiang Lianqiu and Hu De look at each other in surprise.

Miss Genius gestured for Jiang Lianqiu to look at the screen in front of her: "From the beginning, I have been thinking about one thing. It is understandable that the information in the tactical communication was hijacked, but Feng Neumiao said that there is your footnote in the ghost signal."

"Huh? You can't possibly say that the Rectification Protocol, which fought you and caused the entire universe to be wiped out, is so foolish as to use the same information code as you? Even if it were that foolish, would you be so stupid as to not react even if the information code was deciphered?"

Jiang Lianqiu was still thinking about what the black tower meant when another ball of destructive flames burst out beside him.

The illusion that came out of the red lotus of fire was waving a round fan, but there was confusion on his face.

"My dear husband, I'm sorry, but these guys can't be mentally interfered with."

Every Lord of Extinction has his own strengths and weaknesses.

There is no doubt that when everyone is using the 837 fleet to fight each other in space, Huanlong, the Lord of Extinction who is good at causing mental breakdown within civilization, will hardly be able to use his power.

If the two warring parties were normal civilizations—even intelligent machines—it would not be a big deal. However, the illusion could easily trigger a collective mental breakdown, leading to people killing each other.

But the Rectification Agreement...it completely excludes illusory mental interference!

"Faced with a bunch of blockheads and stubborn people, I really don't have any idea what to do." Shaking his head, Huanlong said, "It's just that I discovered something strange."

"Although I say they are blockheads, they are not completely without thoughts. It's just that—why do I find that their thinking logic is a bit like..."

His eyes turned and Huanlong looked at the busy mechanical servants in the command hall below.

"——My Lord, where are these people under your command?"

"It seems you've figured it out too." Heita raised his lips. "Well, have you figured it out?"

Jiang Lianqiu lowered his voice and asked, "Does the Rectification Agreement have anything to do with the Servants?"

As if to confirm this conjecture, a shocking message suddenly came through the command link—

WARNING! UPDATE IDENTITY CODE! UPDATE IDENTITY CODE! !!!

The IFF code homology rate has reached 37%! All units will update their codes immediately!

From the Third Fleet! You were aiming at us just now!

The AI ​​battle report from the front-line fleet made the usually calm Hood confused.

"How is this possible!? A 37% IFF homology rate!?"

Jiang Lianqiu's mind was in a mess.

The servitor calls himself the Absolute Authorizer, and the Rectification Agreement seems to consider him the ultimate paradox.

Now the two sides have shown some commonality.

"Now is not the time to think about this—Xingxiao! Help take over the command system of the entire fleet! Put your personal mark on every one of our units!"

I know, my dear adult.

Hearing Xing Xiao's deliberately curled tongue response, Huanlong spat on the spot: "Bitch!"

With Xingxiao urgently marking all friendly units, the friend-or-foe identification homology rate finally dropped below the safe value of 5%.

The incidents of accidentally injuring friendly forces and mistakenly mistaking Su Zheng for a friendly unit were finally curbed.

Jiang Lianqiu rubbed his temples, while paying attention to the battlefield, he asked Heita: "Could it be that the mechanical servant and Suzheng were one and the same in the past?"

"It's possible, but it's very low." Heita shook his head decisively. "After all, the origins of the Servitors are clear. While Suzheng's origins are unclear, they're definitely not the same as yours."

"Don't we have a blank period in history?" Jiang Lianqiu suddenly thought of that lost history.

"The problem is, your two sides' technological approaches are completely different." Black Tower pointed at the screen. "I don't think the Mechanical Servant and Suzheng have the same origin. If there is any connection between you..."

Staring at Jiang Lianqiu, Heita speculated, "Perhaps it wasn't just the Servants who were seeking authorization back then?"

"Perhaps the Rectification Agreement is also thinking about you?"

Jiang Lianqiu nodded, Black Tower’s speculation was the most reasonable.

He turned to look at the battlefield.

"If that's the case, we must bring this incomplete star ring back no matter what."

……Dividing line……

You Xing Xiao directly led a heavy assault regiment to tear open the gap, and Su Zheng Xing Huan immediately fell into decline.

A great lord of extinction personally led his fleet to rampage across the battlefield, causing extremely terrifying destructive power.

Every moment, warships are burning in the starry sky, turning into wreckage, and eventually falling towards the earth under the pull of gravity.

The friction between these debris and the atmosphere created large meteor showers, which also caused panic among the people on the hemisphere facing the battlefield on Earth.

Countless people saw the huge and incomplete star ring that suddenly appeared in the night sky, and the starry sky that kept flashing with flames.

What a coincidence, it happens to be in the Eastern Hemisphere.

But Jiang Lianqiu obviously didn't care about how humans felt when they saw aliens swinging their arms and slapping each other in the face above their heads. After confirming that all the wreckage would eventually burn up in the atmosphere, he could only pray that the people in this world would not have their worldviews shattered.

Fortunately, humans have now entered modern times, and the concept of aliens has become more or less popular, so it is not completely incomprehensible to them.

Seeing the red dots on the battlefield begin to decrease rapidly, Jiang Lianqiu, who had originally thought that he would be beaten to a bloody pulp by the remnants of the Su Zheng army that suddenly appeared, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt as if he had clenched his fists and was ready to punch with all his strength, but ended up hitting cotton.

"Commander, the outcome is decided."

Hood saluted Jiang Lianqiu with a smile.

"Although there are still some scattered remnants of the enemy resisting, it is nothing to worry about. We estimate that in half a system, we will be able to completely wipe out the enemy."

"That damaged star ring clearly lacked energy. After the first few waves of outbursts, it quickly ceased to function. Sirius and his team have successfully disabled its core reactor and are now on their way back."

"Very good." Jiang Lianqiu exhaled, "Thank you for your hard work."

Next, we need to figure out the strange giant structure in the sun and the matter of this ring.

Chapter 411: Because that’s what we did back then!

At the beginning of the 20th century, when scientific and social revolutions were in full swing and new inventions were being made almost every moment, humanity was full of fantasies about the future. At a time when capital, due to its expansion into the imperialist stage, was beginning to accumulate irreconcilable contradictions around the world, the outbreak of a war in outer space that could be clearly seen even on Earth would undoubtedly permanently change the course of human history.

From the outbreak to the end of the war, which lasted more than ten hours, due to the rotation of the earth, people in most parts of the world witnessed the continuous flames of war in the night sky above their heads to some extent.

Elites who had received systematic education across the five continents and four oceans were shocked, but they did not think it was a miracle.

Some knowledgeable people quickly realized that it might be the legendary extraterrestrial life.

Western elite scholars shouted wildly, and countless people from the Academy of Sciences gathered together, surrounding the heads of state, presidents, or kings of their respective countries.

Ernest Rutherford, then president of the Royal Society of Great Britain and the first person to achieve an artificial nuclear reaction, personally went to see the King of Great Britain with Francis Aston, a researcher at Cambridge University and others.

Albert Einstein, the director of the German Physical Institute, who had published the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity a few years ago and gained fame and attention for verifying the theory of relativity due to the observation of a solar eclipse at the beginning of this year, was standing in front of German Emperor Wilhelm and answering questions.

And standing next to him was the most famous person at the moment - Max Planck!

On the other side of the ocean, Niels Bohr, the founder of the Copenhagen School of Quantum Mechanics, and many more famous scientists boarded special cars and prepared to go to DC to accept personal questioning from the President.

And Sivant Arrhenius, Marie Curie, Fritz Haber...

The stars of humanity received unprecedented attention at this moment. No matter which field their research belonged to, as long as it was related to science, they were summoned by the leaders of their countries without exception.

Among them, scholars in the field of astronomy are particularly watched by everyone.

Arthur Stanley Eddington, who led the observation of the total solar eclipse and would later make significant contributions to the theory of cosmic expansion, stood before the King and Prime Minister of England with a wry smile and spread his hands. "Your Majesty, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I regretfully cannot answer any of your questions. I do not know where these extraterrestrial visitors came from or what their purpose is, but at least from today on, a huge debate in the scientific community, especially in astronomy, can come to an end—extraterrestrial advanced civilizations do exist, and we are not alone in the universe."

"If you have any questions, why not ask the clever Mr. Hopwood?"

James Hopwood Kings, a physicist and astronomer whose theory of Jeans instability explains the collapse of interstellar gas clouds into stars, shook his head repeatedly: "Don't ask me! Your Majesty! I know nothing!"

King George V frowned, glanced at the Prime Minister beside him, and said worriedly, "Then what should we do next? Will the aliens attack us? Turn us into a colony?"

Many scientists secretly rolled their eyes, and some even whispered, "Why would they do that?"

The Prime Minister said seriously, "Because that's what we do! I think they must be here to seize the raw material production areas and markets! Just like we did to India!"

""""...""""

So you also know that you are very lacking in virtue?

Just like in Buckingham Palace at this moment, elites around the world are shocked and trembling, politicians from all countries are all uneasy, and the vast majority of ordinary people with poor education, especially those in Asia, Africa and Latin America, are caught in an unprecedented cognitive revolution.

In such a chaotic situation, naturally no one would care about some "small things", and by the time the top leaders of various countries reacted, it was already a done deal.

For example, the top leaders of a certain Oriental country suffered heavy casualties in a riot caused by the people's unbearable oppression, which ultimately turned the country red and led to an unimaginable path...

It's so funny. He's the one who stirs up civil strife and plays tricks on people. Why can't I, a robot servant, do such things?

"It's all chaos outside now."

In the Butterfly House, Butterfly Kanae, who was sent back by Jiang Lianqiu before the war, placed a thick pile of newspapers that were urgently reprinted and distributed by various countries in front of Jiang Lianqiu with a helpless look.

Asking for flowers

"I asked the servitors to bring this to me. Look, everyone is talking about aliens right now."

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Glancing at newspapers from various countries, Jiang Lianqiu suddenly thought that he had accidentally given humanity such a big surprise, and he didn't know whether a war would break out.

After much thought, Jiang Lianqiu felt that the war had to be fought, and the irreconcilable contradictions of imperialism were an objective fact. Even if he slapped the Suzheng Agreement in outer space to postpone the war, the objectively existing contradictions would not disappear.

Besides, he has no interest in directly ruling the world. When humans discover that the aliens just fought a battle on their heads and then disappeared, the social order of this world will sooner or later return to its original state.

The mere existence of such a thing will probably greatly stimulate humans to start investing resources in the field of space exploration.

"Maybe this is a good thing?" Thinking of this, Jiang Lianqiu comforted the worried Butterfly Sisters and others, "Knowing that there is other life in the universe can at least make humans more proactive in their journey towards the starry sky."

"What's the point of always trying to grab the cake on this small piece of land on Earth?"

Kanae, Shinobu, and Kanroji Mitsuri, who had seen a wider world, nodded in agreement.

"I heard that you made an important discovery this time?" Although Kanae did not follow Jiang Lianqiu to witness the entire war with her own eyes, she also received a lot of information through the command link.

"Indeed, I'm going to be quite busy for a while." Jiang Lianqiu patted his forehead. "But I'm not the only one who's busy. I can't help much with the research. At most, I can lend a hand when cooperation is needed."

"In that case, leave it to me, Shinobu, and Mitsuri to help you watch over it for the time being."

Kanae smiled understandingly.

"Once the situation here stabilizes, please stay with us for a while, okay?"

"Of course." Pinching Kanae's face, Jiang Lianqiu hugged Kanroji Mitsuri and gave her a light kiss, and finally opened his arms to the shy Shinobu Kocho.

“Who…who thought of that…!”
