The giant corporations that started in Night City

As time passed, Jack kept the giant enterprise battleship array at high intensity bombardment and gravitational tearing, and the fleet's retracing time gradually began to lag behind.

It is obvious that the other party's time technology does require some cost, such as consuming a large amount of energy resources.

If the pace continues, the opposing fleet will sooner or later expose a fatal flaw.

During this period, Jack Wells also confirmed that the other party did not have a second sphere, because the space-time region where the sphere was located was quite stable.

No physical attack can cause effective damage to it.

In a sense, the spherical object is like a divine "disaster-avoiding bead" weapon. Its powerful gravitational field and time-space reversal force field can allow the holder to ignore all physical damage.

Even some spell damage can be blocked.

But now, this magic weapon has been separated from the array of the mysterious fleet and can no longer protect the fleet from the artillery bombardment of the giant enterprise.

"There is good news. The communication delay between us and the headquarters has been restored to less than one minute, which means that their time reversal is no longer effective."

Dr. Halsey reported the latest situation to Jack in a timely manner through the data on the holographic screen.

Jack breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his judgment was correct. If he had really been fooled by the other party's trick of reversing time, it would probably be the Universal Corporation that would be in a passive position.

"How long will it take for their time reversal to become completely ineffective?" Jack asked Dr. Halsey.

“I don’t know.”

Halsey shook his head and sighed. "They can compress the mass and energy of thousands of stars into a sphere with a diameter of 10 meters. This probably means that they have mastered extremely advanced energy storage technology."

"Even if the energy consumption is huge, the energy they bring may be able to sustain them in this war, which may last for a few hours or tens of thousands of years."

Under normal circumstances, the normal lifespan of a star is about 10 billion years, and powerful super civilizations often carry the energy of several stars as fleet drives.

The energy of a star is more than enough to support a fleet in a war lasting several years.

but……

If used in some high-end war environments, such as using a superluminal suppressor to forcibly change the cosmic environment, lower the speed of light, and block the jump channel, this will cause the energy consumption rate to soar sharply.

Burning up half a star in a day is no problem.

Of course, the material that can support time reversal is definitely not so easy to obtain, and Halsey estimated that this war would not last too long.

After all, using such precious materials here is completely meaningless and stupid.

"Well, keep up the intensity of your attacks."

Jack Wells nodded. He understood what Halsey meant. The best solution to deal with this matter now was to confront the opposing fleet head-on and see who would collapse first.

Now that the attack by the global giant has achieved some results, why not continue the attack and see where the opponent's limit is.

At this moment, Leon, the governor of a giant enterprise far away in the main universe's base, has learned of all the changes that have taken place on the front line.

Combining his understanding of the Warhammer universe and the technological strength demonstrated by the other party, the so-called mysterious fleet is likely to be the human trekkers of the Golden Age.

It's just that they seemed to have been lost for too long and actually came to the real universe five thousand years later.

"Boss, do you know where the other party came from?" Ott saw the flash of understanding in Leon's eyes and asked hurriedly.

As an outstanding scientific researcher, Ott Cunningham knew that the first priority in solving a problem was to figure out what the problem itself was.

This is just like understanding the question before answering it. If you don’t know the other party’s background information, the world’s largest companies will naturally have no idea where to start.

"It's just speculation now, I need more information to confirm it."

After thinking for a moment, Leon gave Ott Cunningham a dose of reassurance: "It's not that difficult to deal with them. Now continue to be patient and wait."

Seeing that his boss was so determined, Otto finally felt relieved. Since Leon recognized this monster, it meant that subduing the opponent would not be a fatal problem.

In fact, the reason why Leon was unwilling to explain the situation easily was because he did not understand why the human fleet of the Golden Age would take such abnormal actions.

He used his ultimate move right at the start and abused the time-traveling material to fight against the world's giant corporations.

This is totally not something a normal human being would do.

At this moment, through the hard light screen on the center console, Leon has seen that the round sphere has crossed a long distance and arrived at Prospero's star.

This star is in its prime, just like the young and strong Magnus, but with the tug-of-war between the giant enterprise and the mysterious fleet, its carefully deployed planetary orbit has long since fallen apart.

The chaotic gravitational field threw countless planets out and collided with each other.

Soon, the Prospero star could not escape the disaster. Under the surveillance of the giant enterprise's AI detector, the sphere suddenly shrank to half its size and its diameter became five meters.

The surrounding gravitational field suddenly doubled in strength, and the Prospero star was instantly annihilated into pieces under this terrifying gravitational force.

But the supernova explosion that people imagined did not occur. Time seemed to be frozen in one second after the destruction of the star, and people could only see the fragmented appearance of the star.

But no one saw the planetary fragments bursting and scattering in all directions.

The overflowing energy seemed to be absorbed by the sphere!

"That's an artificial black hole--!"

Dr. Halsey suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the other party's spherical body could carry the mass and energy of thousands of stars. It turned out that the thing was an ultra-mass black hole.

This is what it really is!

The observable sphere on the outermost layer of the black hole is just a device to confine the black hole. Its inner core contains a special force field device to control the black hole, as well as a device to rewind time.

Theoretically, the size of the artificial black hole can quickly expand to a scale of tens of thousands of kilometers, and it can adjust the strength of its own gravitational field.

Even the world's giants do not have black hole technology like this. Currently, the world's giants can only create some controllable micro black holes that are only one meter in diameter.

And its effect is quite limited, and it cannot be controlled as flexibly as this artificial black hole.

"Is there any way we can fight this black hole?" Jack Wells asked in a deep voice. Originally, he was thinking about how to contain this object.

But now it seems that they can only defeat it!

Black holes are the most mysterious and powerful celestial bodies in the universe. Even the infinite divine machines of the giant corporations in the universe have not yet understood all the mysteries of black holes. How can they defeat black holes with the few weapons in their hands?

"The gravity of that black hole is too strong. We have no way to fight it. Once we get close to it, we will only be forcibly twisted and swallowed by it."

Dr. Halsey shook his head. Although the Universe Corporation had an anti-gravity field device, the power of this device was limited after all, and it was simply unable to resist the powerful gravity of a black hole.

"The only way we can escape from Prospero now is to either use space jump or ask the headquarters to open the star gate. The former requires the other party to lift the restrictions on this star system."

"The latter requires the boss's permission."

Halsey suggested.

That fleet imposed a low-light-speed barrier on the Prospero star system, making any superluminal jump impossible.

If we leave here at a sub-light speed, it will take at least several months, or even a year or two.

"Asking them to lift the restrictions, I'm afraid that won't work."

Jack looked at the live footage on the screen. If the other party could really communicate, they would not ignore their previous communication information.

As early as a few hours ago, the global giant enterprise sent countless messages to the mysterious fleet, but without exception, there was no response.

The other party obviously does not want to communicate with the giant enterprise.

Now that the world's giants are bombarding them, isn't it ridiculous to ask for dialogue and communication at this time?

"No, it is precisely because we have demonstrated our powerful space warfare capabilities that it is necessary to communicate with them again."

Dr. Halsey saw it very clearly. Any dialogue between civilizations must be based on the equality of strength between both sides, which, of course, also includes individual human beings.

Only the strong are worthy of talking to the strong and exchanging resources. The weak have no right to speak at all.

Now the Universal Corporation has relied on its powerful firepower to attack and lock down the range of activities of the enemy fleet. If they are distracted for even a moment and fail to go back in time in time.

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

The entire fleet will be completely shattered by the giant enterprise's warships.

"The artificial black hole will also have an impact on them. Now our bombing has delayed this fleet. As long as we keep bombing, they will die here too."

“Now is the time to reconnect with each other.”

Halsey's analysis was well-founded. After a moment's silence, Jack Wells nodded in agreement and ordered the shipborne AI to suspend large-scale bombing and only attack a small number of enemy battleship arrays.

"Tell those bastards over there that if they don't lift the restrictions on the Prospero system, we will keep attacking them until both sides are destroyed."

Jack's face was tense as he gave orders to the ship's AI.

As early as the day he joined the Iron Hands, Jack was mentally prepared to sacrifice for the global giant enterprise.

If the situation is really urgent, he would rather die with the enemy in the Warhammer universe than bring trouble to the main universe.

【yes.】

After receiving Jack's order, the AI ​​immediately reduced its bombardment of the enemy fleet and tried to re-establish communication with the other side.

As expected, this time the communication request sent by the global giant was approved almost instantly.

It turned out that the other party had long wanted to restore communications with the Universal Corporation, but unfortunately it had been bombarded by the Corporation and had never been able to send out complete information.

[Please stop attacking! ! ]

Jack Wells was in a very good mood looking at the message sent by the fleet, but he still had to beat the other side hard with his fists to make them behave.

After completing the conversation, Jack quickly learned about their origins from the other party. Just as Leon guessed, this fleet was made of sailors from the Golden Age.

And their identities are not human beings, but iron men!

"Raging AI? How could they appear here!" Jack Wells was extremely shocked and felt his head was buzzing.

This AI Iron Man rebel army was lost in the subspace channel for who knows how many years, until they finally jumped out when they saw the Mandeville point appearing ahead.

After identifying the existence of "human aliens" in the Prospero galaxy, an artificial black hole was launched here, preparing to clear out everything here.

Ensure the genetic purity of human beings.

But what they didn't expect was that just as they were preparing to return, the giant global corporation actually held them back, and it seemed that both sides were going to perish together.

Once an artificial black hole is launched, it cannot be retrieved. It will only destroy, devour and annihilate everything here.

Therefore, after the AI ​​Iron Man throws the artificial black hole, it will make sure that the black hole enters the center of the galaxy before running away.

However, the global giant saw through their intentions and kept them.

Now AI Iron Man just wants to take a step back with the global giant, and both sides should go back to their own homes and quickly leave Prospero, this place of trouble.

"Why can the AI ​​Iron Man of the Golden Age stay lost in the subspace for so long without any harm? Do they have any relationship with the evil gods and demons..."

Jack Wells knew that there was no concept of time in the subspace, and sometimes distance travel did occur, but that didn't mean it would happen often.

On the contrary, the number of times that subspace trek occurs is actually not very common.

Without deliberate interference, most of the warships would have been invaded and destroyed by demons in the warp before they got lost.

What's more, the duration of the trek, which spans five thousand years, is indeed a bit outrageous.

At this time, AI Iron Man had lifted the blockade of the Prospero star system, and Jack immediately reported the situation to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base.

Facing Jack's doubts, Leon thought for a moment and gave his answer: "After the evil god in the subspace was born, it exists in every moment of the past, present and future at the same time."

"So theoretically speaking, the evil god of the subspace can arbitrarily control the direction and development trend of any major event in the real universe."

"This AI Iron Man fleet was most likely lured to Prospero by Tzeentch, which is why it was lost in the warp for so long."

"Until he showed up here and fought us."

Subspace trek seems to be a random event, but in the face of the power of the evil god, this randomness can be completely manipulated into inevitability.

Just by placing subtle guidance traces along the way of the AI ​​Iron Man, you can let them travel through time and space, from the past to the present.

"So, if we can also control this kind of time technology, wouldn't it be possible to transport the fleet of the Universal Corporation to every moment of the past and future?"

When Otto Cunningham thought of this scene, his heart was immediately filled with emotion. If the world's giant enterprises could really achieve this, they would truly be called a "god-level civilization".

Artificial black holes, subspace trek...

Up to now, the technological points that have appeared in the "Warhammer" universe are enough for the world's giant companies to delve deeply into this area and accelerate their development progress.

However, the Warp Trek involves too many technological points, such as high-dimensional space and timeline... It only takes Tzeentch's great power to accurately control the Warp Trek route.

It is the local boss in the warp and knows all the laws of the warp.

Even if Yuanshi Tianzun, Unicron, Amon and other gods came, it is not certain that they would know how to control the rules of the subspace.
