Chapter 828 238: Rule Decomposition, Real-World Crisis
The images on the surrounding walls suddenly switched, with hundreds of holoscreens unfolding simultaneously, tinting the entire space a ghostly blue.
Each screen displayed different data flows: atmospheric composition, geomagnetic strength, gravitational field changes, and so on.
In the central image, a twisted Space Rift was slowly moving.
Governor No. 2 acted decisively, connecting with the Earth Joint Command Headquarters nearest to the rift.
In the holographic projection that appeared, there was a silhouette of a Moon Eclipse Clan member on duty at the Earth Command.
Governor No. 2 wasted no words, directly issuing an order:
"Deploy 3 unmanned observation drones to coordinates 45.6 degrees west longitude, 32.8 degrees north latitude, to conduct real-time monitoring, and prepare for contact with potentially arriving Alien Race factions."
"Understood." The personnel on duty in the command center immediately nodded.
Seconds later, three unmanned observation drones lifted off from the nearby weapon platform, heading towards the coordinate point.
One hour later, the observation drones entered standby cruise mode, flying around the rift.
But during the wait, the Alien Race did not arrive, and the Space Rift remained in its initial state without any fluctuations.
Seconds and minutes ticked away, and Governor No. 2 remained stationed at the security center.
Five hours later, the Space Rift still showed no changes.
This was different from previous Alien Race arrivals, rather more similar to the Black Tide event, as the rift felt more like a spatial coordinate.
The other factions of the Alien Race seemed not to have any intent to arrive on Earth.
At this time, below the rift, he had already initiated preliminary war deployments.
Deep below the sea at the coordinate point, a massive deep-sea fortress arrived silently.
The core area of the base lit up, and the Energy Core went into a war preparation operation mode, the released energy waves pulsating rhythmically like a heartbeat, gradually strengthening.
With energy injection, the base shell shook, and the surface bio-mimetic scales stood upright, revealing the flowing energy veins underneath, spreading like blood vessels, delivering energy to every corner of the base.
The Weapon System array started up.
At the top of the base, several huge mechanical tentacles popped out, each extending hundreds of meters, dancing in the darkness like the tentacles of a deep-sea giant beast.
The tips of the tentacles housed high-energy cutters, capable of easily slicing through any obstacles, and the surface was filled with micro-sensors, collecting information and feeding it back to Eclipse City.
The belly of the base subsequently opened, thousands of underwater drones surged out like schools of fish.
Designed to mimic deep-sea fish in shape, their streamlined bodies swam agilely through the water without making a sound.
The drones' eyes were high-definition cameras, capturing all surrounding details, their backs equipped with sonic weapons and missiles.
As the weapon base fully activated, a semi-transparent energy barrier rose from the top of the base, quickly expanding outward.
The barrier resembled a giant bubble, completely enveloping the base and surrounding weapon systems.
Around the base, hundreds of plasma turrets rose from the seabed.
Shaped like spires, the turret apex flickered with blue arcs.
Upon activation, the arcs rapidly condensed into energy balls, ready for firing at any time.
At the base bottom, dozens of vertical launch silos quietly opened, entering battle mode.
On the sea surface above the coordinate point, several floating platforms emerged from the water, with the central large energy focuser entering startup mode.
In higher orbit, several space-based weapons satellites synced to level-three alert, lifting firing restrictions on its rail guns and energy beam emitters, ready for precise strikes from space on the Space Rift over the sea.
After completing all deployments, Governor No. 2 continued to wait patiently.
If initial contact doesn't encounter any issues, he will attempt to recruit newly arrived groups into the Earth Alliance.
However, should this arriving faction come with a posture of destruction or plunder, he will evaluate whether to enter war mode or full-scale war mode based on the arriving invaders' combat strength.
During the wait, 27 hours passed again.
A crack silently opened in the twisted lines above the sea surface, like an invisible blade slicing open a spatial wound.
A thick purple mist poured out from the rift, akin to toxic miasma, where countless minute creatures could be seen swimming within.
Upon magnification, these tiny creatures appeared jellyfish-like, emitting faint luminescence, their bodies composed of semi-transparent gelatin.
Upon entering Earth, the tiny creatures rapidly spread, forming a vast life network, tentacles interlinking, with their ends releasing a viscous glowing substance.
The substance quickly solidified in the air, forming sturdy biological fibers.
As interconnected nodes increased, the fibers wove into a complex life structure, each node releasing energy to sustain the architecture of the life network.
Governor No. 2 monitored the evolving developments through surveillance.
Without established contact and communication, he temporarily refrained from employing any weapons.
The biological network in the imagery continued to expand, with the information transmission feedback between nodes also exponentially growing.
At this moment, the tiny life forms within the network began exhibiting divergent growth tendencies.
Part of the gelatin hardened, forming a skeletal framework to support the body, while another portion of individuals elongated into developing motor organs... the gelatin gradually differentiated into diverse functional organs and life structures.
Just like 3D modeling conducted in the real world.
Each small jellyfish served as a fundamental module, constructing a giant floating lifeform over a hundred meters long through piecewise combination.
Data from the energy fluctuations dispersing within the lifeform was also presented in real-time on the security center's holographic screen.
The chip embedded in Governor No. 2's nape glimmered faintly, and upon receiving commands, a robot with the appearance of the Moon Eclipse Clan rose from a sea platform to approach the gigantic floating lifeform.
The translation matrix on the robot's chest operated, preparing to establish a psychic link and initiate preliminary communication with the arriving force.
At this moment, the compound eyes of the floating giant beast suddenly erupted in dazzling red light.
Its enormous body shuddered violently, and the luminescent patterns on its surface flickered intensely, illuminating segment by segment from tail to head as if charging.
The Intelligent Brain assistant immediately issued a warning:
"Warning! Hostile signal detected!"
The next moment, the back of the floating giant beast contracted forcefully, surface suddenly splitting into tiny holes, spewing dense crystals from within.
Upon zooming in on the image, the sharp crystal surfaces were covered with fluorescent mucus, automatically moving toward the robot.
With barely a thought, Governor No. 2 activated the robot's energy barrier urgently.
But as the crystals neared, they suddenly exploded, and the robot's silvery white exterior became instantly covered with fluorescent substances, which aggressively infiltrated, causing the chip in the Governor's nape to flicker frantically.
The robot on screen eroded and disintegrated at a visible speed, its metal remnants falling from the air into the water.
Governor No. 2 did not hesitate in the slightest, decisively stating in a deep voice:
"Notify all Earth Alliance races to enter war status."
By now, Earth's races who had already received notifications began to take action.
City defense systems were activated sequentially, one city after another was enveloped by energy screens.
Although only one floating lifeform had arrived, each race's cities were still prepared in advance to withstand a destructive strike.
