Volume 3 Chapter 163: The Cleansing Fleet is Ordered to Return
"Mr. Speaker, the quantum radar has detected the trace of Lord Lin Xu." A staff officer hurried in from outside the meeting room and shouted.
"Where?" In the conference room, all the members including Erofat stood up nervously.
"Outside the inert filthy area, Lord Lin Xu's war star is rushing towards the Cleansers' warship fleet." The staff officer reported.
"But there is only one war star, and the Cleaners have hundreds of millions of warships." A congressman said nervously.
"What do you mean, are you doubting Lord Lin Xu?"
"How is that possible? I'm clearly worried about Master Lin Xu."
"Enough, stop arguing. Order the radar operator to follow up and take over the holographic image." Erofat ordered the staff.
"Yes." The staff officer took the order and left.
Soon, a holographic image detected by quantum radar appeared on the conference table in front of the congressmen.
However, the holographic image seemed to be disturbed from time to time, causing ghosting, snow screen and other problems.
The congressmen frowned from time to time.
"What's going on?" Erofat asked.
"Report, the radar operator is on duty urgently. You know we have just taken over the warship not long ago. We are learning everything on the spot and are not very proficient yet." The staff officer replied quickly.
There was nothing Erofat could do about this.
After all, new maintainers really don’t know anything and have to learn everything from scratch, so it is understandable that they encounter all kinds of problems.
Even the battleship used for the meeting was borrowed from the cleaners in the inert filth area.
The operators are also on temporary duty and learn many things on the spot.
After all, the relationship between maintainers and cleaners is more of a cooperative one, with maintainers simply issuing regulated instructions and cleaners executing them.
Strictly speaking, they are not considered superiors and subordinates, so when the maintainers use the cleaners' warships, they need to borrow them and cannot use them whenever they want.
However, even though the holographic image occasionally showed phantoms, the congressmen still watched it intently.
Looking at the war planet, which is the Earth, rushing into the Cleansing Fleet.
Lin Xu had never introduced the Earth to them, so they always thought it was a war planet.
I saw gaps opening up in the dome of the earth's surface, and countless autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out from these gaps, combining into temporary warships and engaging in battle with the Cleansing warships.
It resisted the massive number of Cleansing warships and pushed them back directly.
Suddenly, a dozen or so congressmen in the conference room cheered and applauded, and a smile appeared on Erofat's face.
But gradually, as the Earth and the temporary groups of warships surrounding the Earth moved deeper and deeper into the depths of the Cleansing Fleet, the congressmen gradually quieted down. They began to feel that something was wrong.
Although a lot of the Cleaners' warships were destroyed, compared to the huge number of billions, those destroyed were just a drop in the bucket.
Instead, as they went deeper and deeper into the Earth, a large number of Cleansing warships circled behind the Earth.
It was like a lone cavalry unit charging deep into a group of infantry. At first it was unstoppable, but as the impact force gradually wore out, it was surrounded by the infantry.
Although the Earth was still charging forward at this time, continuously going deeper into the Cleansing Fleet, it seemed as if the impact force would never be exhausted.
But the earth is indeed gradually being surrounded.
"What should we do?" The congressmen began to get nervous.
"It's okay. Believe in Lord Lin Xu and believe in humanity." Erofat remained calm throughout, or it could be said that he had no way out.
All intelligent life in the area surrounded by inert filth has no way out.
Once the cleaners outside rush in, they will inevitably begin to clean the creatures contaminated by the inert filth.
They are machines that only know how to execute procedures and have no flexibility.
Therefore, Erofat had no choice but to believe in Lin Xu and believe in human beings.
Meanwhile, above the earth.
In a sphere suspended in the sky above the Pacific Ocean, it looks like a miniature version of the Earth.
This is the Earth Command Center built by Lin Xu.
Or it could be a place like a cockpit.
In fact, the earth does not need such a place. Lin Xu can command the navigation of the earth no matter where he is.
But this time it is the biggest one the Earth has ever encountered, and it is a head-on conflict that the Earth needs to face, so just to be more serious, Lin Xu built such an Earth cockpit.
The cockpit is shaped like a miniature version of the Earth, with a diameter of about one kilometer.
At this time, Lin Xu, Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao, together with Professor Domore, were in the cabin at the very center of the Earth cockpit.
The floor beneath my feet and the surrounding areas are filled with pitch-black space.
Of course, this universe is a holographic projection.
The few people here are like the incarnation of the earth itself, sailing in the outer space, and at the same time they can reflect all the scenes from all directions of the earth in this cockpit in real time.
Let the people in the cockpit see clearly everything happening on all sides of the earth.
Just like now, there are temporary warships composed of massive autonomous mechanical aggregates located around the earth, and the temporary warships that are escorting them are further out, and there are densely packed and endless Cleansing warships.
The temporary warships guarded the earth and kept rushing forward, blowing up the Cleaner warships along the way.
The earth itself also relies on its huge size and utilizes various shields generated outside the earth's dome, whether it is a repulsive field, an electromagnetic force field, a quantum force field, etc., to directly crash into the group of Cleansers battleships.
All the warships encountered along the way will be smashed into pieces.
In this way, the earth continues to move forward relying on violence.
The group of people in the cockpit of the Earth watched the scenes happening all the time around them. Even Lin Xu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao, who had experienced various wars in the universe, felt excited.
Not to mention that Domore, who had only lived in the steam civilization before and had never felt the existence of such a grand battlefield.
Domor now even had the illusion that he was experiencing a war among the gods.
He is now extremely grateful that he chose to cooperate with Yu Linxu.
"Can you bear it? Do you want to go and take a rest?" Lin Xu looked at Domore's condition and said a little worriedly.
After all, Domore's current appearance is so reminiscent of a patient who is about to have a relapse.
At this moment, Domore was in an abnormal flush, his face had turned pink, his pupils were dilated, his breathing was rapid, and Lin Xu believed that he would collapse and die at the next moment.
"It's okay, I'm just too excited. Lord Lin Xu, you promised me that you would not let me leave until this adventure is over." Domore was not worried about dying suddenly at all. If he missed this battle, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Okay." Lin Xu nodded. This was indeed what he agreed to.
In that case, let him be.
And Lin Xu really doesn't have much energy to focus on him now.
It seems that the assault on the entire planet is going smoothly, but in fact the pressure is indeed increasing.
After all, there are too many cleaners.
Maybe Lin Xu will have to help too.
So Lin Xu slowly closed his eyes and opened his high-dimensional perspective.
The next moment, from a high-dimensional perspective, Lin Xu began to interfere with the physical constants in the universe above the direction of advance.
Just a brief moment of interference caused the physical constants in the area ahead to change in an instant.
In an instant, throughout the starry sky, a large number of Cleaner warships exploded because the internal structures of the warships could no longer support their huge size due to the change in physical rules.
The next moment, the rules of physics were restored, but the warship that had exploded could not go back to the past.
In just a moment, it was as if a huge hand from a higher dimension crushed millions of warships in the blink of an eye.
It directly cleared an entire area of air ahead of the Earth.
So the Earth took this opportunity and immediately accelerated forward.
By the time more Cleaner warships had made up for the losses in the area, the Earth had already moved away.
In this way, Lin Xu continued to take action, destroying warships in one star field after another, allowing the Earth to move forward at a faster speed.
Finally, at a certain moment, the view in front of the earth suddenly became clear, and a fleet of cleaners numbering hundreds of millions had already rushed out.
What appeared in front of the earth was an ordinary planet.
But Lin Xu knew that the planet was the remains of human beings left in this galaxy.
At the same time, it was also the headquarters of the Cleansers and Maintainers.
It is also the center of the Cleanser's program.
So the earth continued to rush towards the planet without stopping.
This immediately alarmed the planet's own defense system.
The space around the planet was seen fluctuating, and endless floating cannons and various strike weapons suddenly emerged from the countless subspaces anchored around the planet.
In just a blink of an eye, the originally ordinary planet was surrounded by all kinds of doomsday weapons.
These defense facilities are usually hidden in the subspace, but once an external threat approaches, the defense weapons will be activated.
However, when these various doomsday weapons that were powerful enough to destroy the world were pointed at the Earth, they did not open fire for a long time.
Even though the earth is very close to your face.
There was no firing of any kind of weapons.
Because Lin Xu has sent identity authentication to the defense center.
At the same time, they boarded the Skylark and headed directly for the relic planet.
Soon, Lin Xu landed on this seemingly ordinary planet.
The countless weapons in the subspace around the planet have been withdrawn and returned to the subspace.
The ruins planet returned to its ordinary appearance.
At the same time, in the inert and filthy area in the distance.
The congressmen who were still in the meeting room stared at the holographic projection in front of them with full concentration.
Even if there is no trace of the Earth there.
After the earth flies a certain distance, it is beyond the detection range of the quantum radar.
But a group of parliamentarians, including Erofat, continued to stare at the massive number of Cleaner warships without blinking.
Analyzing the profound meaning of every move of the Cleaner battleship.
Until, a space jump channel appeared in front of a large number of Cleaner warships.
Suddenly, Erofat felt a black screen in front of his eyes and he almost fainted.
"The Cleaner battleship is about to start the jump."
"Is the target of the jump here?"
"It's over, it's all over. We can't hold on at all. We only have a few hundred Cleaner warships. How can we fight against so many identical Cleaner warships?"
"Is there still no news from Lord Lin Xu? Is it too late?"
The faces of the congressmen were filled with sorrow.
"No, we still have a chance. Just hold on until Lord Lin Xu succeeds." Unexpectedly, Erofat bit his tongue hard and came to his senses.
He knew that he couldn't fall down now, absolutely not.
"But how can we hold on? We can't even stop the attack of the Hysteresis Cleaner."
"Retreat, hide, take as many people as you can, and stay far away." Erofat replied.
"But! Is it too late?" someone asked worriedly.
"We must leave whether we have enough time or not. Everyone, act immediately and take as many scholars and children as possible with you. You and I will stay here and we will leave last." Erofat ordered.
Just like that, in an instant, all the descendants of the Maintainers on the planets in more than a dozen galaxies currently controlled by the Maintainers within the inert and filthy area took action.
It was too late to take away the rest of the intelligent life, especially the descendants of the traitors.
After all, the descendants of the defenders may not even have time to take all of their own people away, so how could they care about the descendants of the traitors?
In this way, hundreds of Cleansing warships landed on more than a dozen planets, with dozens of warships on each planet.
Each warship is tens of thousands of meters in size, and when dozens of them land on a planet together, the shock caused is quite huge.
Although many other civilized races have heard about the defenders regaining their former glory, it is only hearsay after all.
It was not until this time, looking at the warships covering the sky, that many civilizations on earth realized that the descendants of these defenders had risen to high positions and were different from themselves.
Erofat and a group of congressmen were waiting anxiously. Now Erofat was full of regret and self-blame, wondering why he didn't start the transfer earlier.
If the transfer had started earlier, could more people have been taken away?
However, there is no point in thinking about these things now.
I just hope that we can get as many people on board as possible before the Cleaner Fleet's jump begins.
However, the world never works the way one person thinks.
The congressmen were waiting anxiously, when suddenly one of them shouted, pointing at the holographic image in front of him, his whole body shaking.
Everyone looked immediately and saw that the Cleaner warships on the holographic image had completed their preparations for the jump, and one after another rushed into the jump channel opened in front of them.
The next moment, within the galaxy where Erofat was located, countless space channels opened and the Cleaner battleships had already arrived via the warship warships.
“Here they come.”
"It's not just our galaxy. They are attacking together. A large number of Cleansing warships have descended on more than a dozen galaxies."
"Lord Erofat, what should we do?"
The MPs all looked at Erofat.
"Order all the warships to leave immediately and ignore the rest of the people. As for us, we will cover their retreat." Erofat's eyes swept across the faces of all the parliamentarians one by one.
The congressmen were hesitant to speak.
After all, they only have one warship here, so it would be more like committing suicide than covering their retreat.
But no one said anything against it.
At this moment, several Cleaner warships closest to the warship where a dozen congressmen were located had already pointed their guns at this warship.
The muzzle begins to charge.
The bombardment will begin in the next moment.
"Get ready. We must destroy at least one of the enemy's warships." Erofat strode out of the conference room and shouted orders to the staff officers in the command hall who were already beginning to get confused.
In an instant, the command hall fell silent because of the appearance of the backbone.
"Yes, sir."
Then, everyone became busy and nervous.
A dozen councillors followed Erofat, and since they were ready to die, they still relaxed.
But who would have thought that at this moment, the operator of the quantum radar suddenly rubbed his eyes hard in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
The next moment he jumped up from his seat.
"Report, the enemy has put away their guns and stopped charging them."
"What? The guns are put away?"
"Are you serious?"
"How is that possible?"
"What's going on?" Erofat went over to check it out himself.
Sure enough, not only the Cleansing warships that were nearby, but even the Cleansing warships in the distance that had already formed a battle formation and were ready to begin a devastating bombing of the planet, also collected their spare ammunition one by one.
Just as the staff officers were discussing, the parliamentarians were confused, and Erofat himself was also confused.
Suddenly, the communicator also jumped up.
"Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, we have received a communication from the Cleaner battleship on the opposite side." The communicator seemed to be unable to believe what he saw. While shouting, he also confirmed the content of the communication over and over again.
"What communication? Read it out." Erofat couldn't wait to go over and take a look, so he gave the order directly.
"Descendants of the Protectors, the Cleansers fleet has come back to base on the orders of humanity." The communicator finished reading the words with a trembling voice.
For a moment, the entire command hall fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe what was happening.
But then, everyone roared out at the top of their lungs, cheering.
Even the congressmen hugged the guards around them.
At this time, there was no difference in identity anymore, only the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.
"Great, great, hahaha, great." After confirming that there was no problem with the communication received by the communicator, Erofat slumped down on the ground with his back against the instrument.
He was crying and laughing at the same time. At this moment, he no longer had the reserved manners of a Lord Speaker and was just like a little child.
"Speaker, how should we respond?" Although the correspondent was also very happy, he was still concerned about his duties.
"Yes, I have to reply." Erofat then remembered.
So I quickly cheered up and thought about it.
Soon, the correspondent replied with a communication.
"Welcome back. Please do not accidentally injure our personnel. All subsequent matters will be decided by Lord Lin Xu."
At the same time, on the ruins planet.
Lin Xu, who had confirmed the authority at the program center of the Cleansing Fleet, issued an order to all Cleansers in the entire galaxy to stop cleaning and wait for follow-up orders.
Afterwards, Lin Xu opened the subspace anchored on the relic planet.
In an instant, a huge space channel appeared above the planet.
Through the passage, you can see a huge complex of human ruins on a very similar planet opposite.
After being closed for tens of thousands of years, it was opened for the first time.
The subspace where human remains are located belongs to a different subspace from the subspace where defense weapons are stored around the planet.
The two sides do not interfere with each other.
Or to put it more simply, the subspace where weapons are stored is more superficial.
The subspace of human relics belongs to the deep subspace.
More covert and more difficult to detect.
And now, with the opening of the relic subspace, the temporary warships surrounding the earth instantly disintegrated into countless autonomous mechanical aggregates, rushing into the relic space.
These massive autonomous mechanical aggregates passed through the space channels, entered the ruins within the subspace, and explored every corner of the ruins.
There were naturally defensive measures within the ruins, but after these defensive measures detected that the person entering was an autonomous mechanical aggregate, they did not launch an attack.
Afterwards, Yinghuo established a connection with the main control program in the ruins, and the two sides exchanged information.
In addition, Lin Xu has also arrived at the ruins in person and set foot on the buildings within the ruins.
The relic program confirmed Lin Xu's identity and voluntarily handed over all authority to Yinghuo.
Yinghuo quickly took over the database within the ruins.
Therefore, everything within this relic became completely transparent to Lin Xu in the shortest possible time.
"Yinghuo, where is that guy Wang Jian?" Lin Xu asked.
This was not the first time that Lin Xu had seen Wang Jian in the ruins, and he was already familiar with the place.
He asked as soon as he came up.
"In the high-dimensional space near the core of the planet." Yinghuo replied.
This answer was not unexpected, since that guy was there every time.
"Tell me the route." Lin Xu continued to ask.
He now really wants to know what humans discovered in the first place that made them choose to leave this river system in a hurry.
Logically speaking, given how powerful humans were at that time, there should have been nothing that could move them.
"The route has been sent." Yinghuo replied.
Lin Xu’s consciousness had already received the map transmitted by the nanorobots.
After taking a quick look, the ground of the ruins under Lin Xu's feet suddenly cracked as if it were alive.
Those were the nanorobots that made up the ruins. Under Lin Xu's command, they simply made way.
You even save yourself the trouble of going through the door.
Domore, who had never seen this scene, was startled and fell directly in.
Miss Qiu, Nanzhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao were much more familiar with the place.
The group thus entered the depths of the ruins.
Soon arrived at the high-dimensional characteristic space.
