Wills Special Supercluster, Cosmic Ocean Node Chelse.
After the Legion I set off, they left behind an entire race and the leader of this race to guard this place.
However, they weren't a race that specialized in perception like Olga or Douglas, so they didn't notice at all that they weren't the only ones in Chelse.
In an empty space, there was a fleet of more than a hundred million Netherworld Battleships. Not only did they blend into the background of the universe like chameleons, but even the energy in the battleships mimicked the background energy of the universe through a special method.
If it wasn't for a biological civilization with extremely sharp senses or a technological civilization that had mastered the main technology of a level-9 civilization, it would be impossible to discover their existence.
"Legion Commander, we've received an encrypted message from the new Gonggong. It's been uploaded to your command terminal!"
In the bridge of one of the battleships, the adjutant came to Wang Hai's side, who was looking at the stars through the observation window.
"Hmm, looking at the time, the message should arrive today."
Wang Hai retracted his gaze and went to his command position in the center of the bridge. He quickly opened the command terminal and completed the authentication.
After some operation, Wang Hai finally saw the content of the message.
It recorded the time Haig entered the cosmic ocean in the Kempinia Supercluster, as well as the estimated time he would arrive at the Wills Special Supercluster. There was no more information.
However, for Wang Hai, this information was already enough.
After all, all the battle plans had been set more than a month ago. The only thing missing now was the precise time.
"How's the deployment of the dark energy space resonance device?"
Wang Hai turned off the encrypted message on the command terminal and turned to ask his adjutant.
"Commander, the device has just been deployed, but we found some problems with the synchronization rate during the self-inspection."
"Problems with the synchronization rate?"
Hearing this, Wang Hai frowned deeply.
It should be noted that this device was developed by the Barland Research Institute, and it had been confirmed to have no problems after a series of tests.
That was one of the three holy lands for scientific research in the Federation. As long as the equipment developed by them passed the test and was put into use, there had never been any cases of problems. How could he have encountered such an unprecedented situation at such a crucial time?
"What about the Barland Research Institute's military team? What did they say?"
"Legion Commander, the experts from the Barland Institute of Science say that this is likely due to the uniqueness of the Wills Super Cluster. Currently, we need to adjust the parameters according to the actual situation here before it can be used normally."
"Special?"
"Yes, according to the experts, the Wills Special Super Star Cluster is different from other Super Star Clusters. Because of the war between the insectoids and the Saint Dimensional Empire, the central region of the entire Super Star Cluster was blown into a Boötes Constellation Hole. Therefore, in terms of spatial stability and dark energy density, it is different from other Super Star Clusters."
"Tell them that they only have one month. After one month, they must ensure that the device works normally no matter what. Otherwise, they will be sinners of the entire Federation!"
"Yes, Legion Commander!"
"Let's hope … everything goes well!"
Wang Hai couldn't help but mutter to himself as he watched the adjutant leave.
-----
Kempinia Supercluster, Ravel.
It had been ten hours since Haig and Douglas had used the space current to escape.
In this period of time, Lin Fan had used a total of forty Zero-Point Bomb Carriers.
Every ten minutes, a series of bombs would be unleashed, and the rest of the Purgatory army that had arrived at Ravel were slaughtered. A total of 25 Tier 7 leader-class creatures were killed, and only 5 of them managed to escape into the ocean currents. However, none of them were in perfect condition. Lin Fan was not even sure if two of them were still alive. Even if they managed to escape back to Chels, they might not be able to make it out alive with such injuries.
This kind of loss was definitely a serious blow to the Purgatory Legion I. Even the Purgatory Legion II led by Ipnos didn't suffer such a huge loss.
"Marshal, it has been more than three minutes since any creature came out of the space current."
After confirming the information, Liang Xue came to Lin Yu's side and reported.
"Continue to monitor for an hour. Also, maintain the Zero-Point Bomb Carriers in a state where they can be deployed at any time!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Although it was basically confirmed that the Purgatory Legion I had all arrived at Ravel.
After all, the number of 7th rank leader class creatures that were killed or escaped could be piled up.
However, they couldn't let their guard down. Lin Fan still maintained the Zero-Point Bomb Carriers in their current state to ensure that they could be deployed at any time.
Although an hour wasn't a long time, it felt like an eternity to everyone. Every second felt like years.
Finally, the time set by Lin Fan was up. There were still no more Purgatory Creatures flying out of the space current. Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Have the Merlotte depart immediately and bring Lin Yu back. At the same time, notify all fleets to activate their space engines and head to Ravel to assemble at the entrance of the space current!"
"Understood … Marshal, President Wei of the Barland Research Institute has a communication request. Should we accept it?"
"Accept it!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Soon, Wei's virtual figure was projected into the command center of the new Gonggong.
"Wei, what's the matter?"
"Commander, in the past ten hours, the fleet has killed 25 Class 7 Purgatory Creatures. Although most of the corpses are incomplete, and there aren't even any remains left, there are still some fragments left.
"However, there are still a lot of debris fragments. Therefore, I would like to apply for the recovery of these fragments. After all, these are all important research materials!"
"Okay!"
Without much thought, Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement.
Of course, who else could he give these fragments to other than the Barland Research Institute?
It should be known that the three major research institutes had different research directions. For example, Bai Zixuan's Loulan Research Institute specialized in space technology and many other related projects.
Lin Kexin's Flying Bird Research Institute specialized in dimensions and time.
The fragments of these rank 7 leader rank creatures weren't necessary for their research. Only the Bayerland Research Institute specialized in researching dark energy and biotechnology.
Therefore, regardless of whether Wei mentioned this matter or not, Lin Fan would have asked her to clean up the battlefield and retrieve the fragments of these powerful creatures.
"Mm, thank you, Marshal. Love you!"
Looking at the exaggerated expression on Yu Wei's face, Lin Fan's forehead was filled with black lines. As for Liang Xue, who was beside him, he could tell that she was using all of her energy to suppress her laughter.
"Right, Marshal, there's one more thing I want to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"I want Lin Tian!"
