"I found something useful. Let's take a look." Huang Zhong distributed the information to everyone present.

A paper titled "Dark Energy Research" appeared in front of everyone, and Huang Zhong specially highlighted the key part.

[...Dark energy can emit darkon waves (similar to photon waves). Darkon waves are suspected to be related to quantum communication. After many experiments, it has been confirmed that darkon waves are most likely to be of the same type as quantum, or quantum waves. It is part of the dark wave (equivalent to the long wave being part of the electromagnetic wave);...]

[...In a series of darkon wave experiments, we found that darkon waves can interfere with quantum communications to a certain extent. Especially in areas where the concentration of dark energy is increasing, quantum communications are more susceptible to interference. This It’s an amazing…]

Li Wentao put down the paper: "In other words, the Explorer is most likely to be interfered by the dark wave of dark energy."

"Could it be that there is a dark energy area in the Polaris region?" Alexander Vasily asked doubtfully

Li Wentao shook his head: "The possibility of artificiality is very high. After all, natural dark energy and our positive matter world are clearly distinct. The two have never interacted with each other. It is impossible for a dark energy area to appear for no reason to interfere with the Explorer's quantum communication. of."

"Man-made? Wen Tao, do you suspect that the Dark Beast Civilization is causing trouble?" Wang Tiejun reacted immediately.

Li Wentao nodded: "Among the civilizations we know, the Dark Beast Civilization is the most suspected. It seems that we are ready for a battle."

"I have asked the Third Army to activate red alert." Alexander Vasily said.

"No, just the Third Army is not enough. We must make a comprehensive plan. I am afraid that the other party is coming with bad intentions. I propose that the First and Second Army also enter the red alert state, and the Fourth Army enters the yellow alert state." Wang Tiejun suggested .

"I agree." Li Wentao raised his hand first.

"agree."

"Agree." The other five people also raised their hands in agreement.

…

Waves of shrill air defense sirens sounded at various military bases in the solar system, and suddenly the entire alliance knew that something might have happened.

All soldiers' vacations were cancelled, and they immediately returned to their respective stations to report; the arsenal and battleship factory entered a semi-war state and began to explode in production; all battleships and planetary defense fortresses entered a war state.

The warning satellite system and various observation stations arranged outside the solar system also watch all directions of the solar system around the clock, searching for possible invading enemies.

In particular, the location where the Explorer lost contact has attracted a lot of attention from the alliance. However, even if there is any movement, it will take at least about 40 days, because the Explorer is also equipped with a neutrino communication system. It's the speed of light.

As for the area where the Explorer lost contact, the nearest communication satellite is about 7,000 astronomical units, and it would take 40 days to transmit back at the speed of light.

As for the neutrinos and gravitational waves sent by the alliance on its own initiative, it will take about 80 days to go back and forth before we can know the specific situation there.

Now we can only pray for the Explorer's blessings. The Alliance Army has begun to prepare for war to deal with the very likely emergence of the Dark Beast Civilization.

The High Command and the Alliance Council have held several consecutive meetings to discuss how to deal with this matter.

…

In the distant starry sky, among the endless stars, a lone spaceship is advancing at full speed.

"Has the communication system not returned to normal yet?" Ma Wu asked with an ugly face.

Fang Haibo shook his head: "No, the quantum communication system has been interfered with, and we can only use neutrino communication now."

Ma Wu hammered the chair angrily: "These damn things should be the Dark Beast Civilization. I didn't expect these guys to have arrived near the solar system. We must let the Alliance know about this as soon as possible."

"I think the Alliance has discovered the anomaly on the Explorer's side. After all, it has been so long since we agreed to communicate with the Alliance." Fang Haibo could only think of the best.

"I hope so." Ma Wu turned to Masayoshi Kobayashi and asked, "Justice, are those alien fleets still behind us?"

"Yes, they are still there, but they are emitting lasers to interfere with our flight." Masayoshi Kobayashi replied seriously.

"Are their numbers still the same as before?" Ma Wu continued to ask.

Masayoshi Kobayashi nodded: "There are still 73 space battleships, but their spaceship speed only reaches 6.4% of the speed of light, less than one-half of ours. We are safe for the time being."

"We can't take it lightly. After all, it's another cosmic civilization." Ma Wu said cautiously.

"Yes." Masayoshi Kobayashi also knows that now is not the time to relax his vigilance. In order to avoid being focused by the opponent's laser cannon, the Explorer needs to make irregular maneuvers while flying. This flying method greatly slows down the flight speed. The current speed of the Explorer has dropped to only about 11.3% of the speed of light.

After Zhang Handong inspected various cabins, he returned to the cockpit again: "The damaged parts have been repaired, and the soldiers' emotions are quite stable."

"Commissioner Zhang, please take a rest. Everything will be fine." Ma Wu comforted him calmly.

"My mental endurance is not that weak, don't worry about me." Zhang Handong smiled and waved his hand.

Time goes back to two days ago.

The Explorer was exploring the waterway in the void. Suddenly, all the quantum communication systems failed. Just as Ma Wu and others were in a hurry.

A large number of space battleships suddenly appeared above the Explorer, and they opened fire and besieged them without saying a word.

Fortunately, the Explorer was very fast. After damaging two of the opponent's space battleships, it instantly got rid of the opponent through maneuvering changes.

Although there was only one round of fighting, both sides knew how terrible the other was, and the Explorer also knew the other's information. This space fleet belonged to the Dark Beast Civilization, and the other party regarded the Explorer as belonging to the Soth Civilization.

The main reason for this misunderstanding was that the prototype of the Explorer was the Shadow Leopard-class space cruiser of the Soth civilization. However, Ma Wu and others were not fools. The other party's strategic misjudgment certainly could not be explained.

The main reason why the Explorer escaped was that the opponent's dark energy cannonballs could contaminate even the condensed matter shield. The Explorer could only use the dual defense of a strong magnetic field shield and a condensed matter shield.

In addition, the dark energy cannon of the dark beast civilization is the real threat. A pure dark energy attack, even a double defense, is useless.

The Explorer was only hit by the condensed matter shield on the side, which caused the condensed matter shield generator on that side to be contaminated and scrapped. This was the reason why Ma Wu decided to escape.

However, the other party had the technology to block quantum communications, causing the Explorer to lose contact with the Alliance.

In this way, the two sides continued to chase each other in the void, but because the alliance's engine technology was stronger than the other's, the distance between the two sides was gradually widening.

Therefore, in order to interfere with the Explorer's flight speed, the opponent continuously fired lasers to interfere with the Explorer. The left side of the Explorer was scrapped due to the condensed matter shield. If it was focused by the opponent's laser, it would be very dangerous.

…

Helic Planetary Fortress.

Twelve Shadow Leopard-class space cruisers and three Longtooth-class space battleships are ready.
