Chapter 445: Then let you taste the backlash

The target firewall structure is extremely complex, and we are attempting a violent breach!

Materials science data has been acquired at 3%, and we are conducting an in-depth analysis!

The dimensional technology module has been locked onto! We are attempting to bypass permissions!

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

However, at the moment Lei Zhan ordered to increase scan intensity, the screens before all technical officers turned into a chaotic snow.

Alarm! Alarm! Our data probe has encountered an unknown logic trap!

The data stream is contaminated! It is reversely eroding our system!

Connection severed! Quick! Quickly cut the data connection!

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the entire control hub.

However, it was already too late.

Just as they tried to sever the connection,

A massive, unimaginable torrent of junk data filled with chaos and disorder,

followed the five golden light pillars, surging in an unstoppable manner into the Truth Mirror's system!

This data torrent is exactly the scan probe assimilated and decomposed by the Great Expansion Agreement, mixed with infinite variables to form a data virus.

It lacks direct destructive power, but it can plunge any logic- and program-based system into complete paralysis.

No! My computational core is overloaded!

The logic judgment unit has collapsed!

The Truth Mirror is losing control!

At the shipyard's center, the faces of the five representatives all changed simultaneously.

They could clearly feel that the mental link between themselves and the Truth Mirror was forcibly severed by a violent, chaotic force.

The Rule Wall enveloping the entire shipyard began to flicker violently, the golden data streams flowing along its inner wall,

turned into clumps of meaningless gibberish.

Boom!

A deep, muffled roar.

The core providing energy to the Truth Mirror began to become unstable.

The Rule Wall enveloping the shipyard shattered inch by inch, dissipating into the void.

The Cosmic Alliance's prized Truth Mirror, said to be able to see through all falsehoods, a powerful system,

in its first clash with the Yanhuang Civilization, lasted less than five minutes,

simply due to indigestion, it crashed directly.

The entire shipyard fell into dead silence.

All observing other civilizations stared dumbfounded at this scene.

What did they see?

The newly arrived Yanhuang Civilization, during the verification process, actually managed to… break the Alliance's verification system?

Is this verification, or just wrecking the venue?

The faces of the five representatives turned extraordinarily vivid.

Shocked, bewildered, incredulous,

Finally, they all turned into a deep sense of apprehension.

They finally understood that the other side had not been passively accepting from the start, but was cooperating with them in their act.

When they tried to cross the red line, the other side launched a counterattack without hesitation.

This counterattack was not on the physical level, but on the technical and rule levels.

It caused no casualties, yet was more humiliating than opening fire directly.

It's like a self-important hacker trying to invade a super AI, only to have the opponent lock onto his location and crash his computer.

"What… did you do?"

Lei Zhan's voice held back fury, lightning flashing on the war hammer in his hand.

Ha Ge still wore his harmless smile, spreading his hands with an innocent expression.

"We didn't do anything! Weren't you the ones who told us to open the interface and fully cooperate?"

Then he feigned surprise and said:

"Is the quality of this Alliance's equipment really not up to par?"

"How did it just blow up while we were scanning? This can't be blamed on us—we're the victims; our flagship even got a fright just now."

These words nearly made Lei Zhan explode on the spot.

"What do you mean 'quality not good'? What do you mean 'it blew up itself'?"

"What do you mean you're also victims?"

This is literally getting a bargain and then acting cute!

"You...!"

He was about to erupt, but Wo Xi Ling stopped him.

The palace-dressed woman gave a deep look at the calm Ha Ge, and at the icy military officer Zhou Yunhai behind him.

She spoke slowly, her voice cold and clear:

"We underestimated you; the Yanhuang Civilization's firewall technology is quite special."

She did not mention again the Truth Mirror being broken, for that would only bring self-humiliation.

She then shifted tone, saying: "However, the earlier scan was not entirely without gain."

Her gaze fell on Zhou Yunhai.

"We discovered that although your civilization as a whole has entered the Seventh Level, the individual life level seems not to have completed a synchronous leap.

"The bodies of the vast majority of clanspeople remain within the realm of three‑dimensional life, including you, the commander."

"A civilization that has not completed universal four‑dimensionalization has an unstable foundation."

You are like an infant wearing giant armor, possessing strength but lacking a physique to match it.

"Such a civilization can only be classified as Quasi‑Seventh Level in the Alliance's rating."

She pinpointed the Yanhuang Civilization's biggest shortcoming.

This is also the problem of weak foundation that Qin Hao had previously worried about.

The Yanhuang Civilization's promotion relied on Qin Hao using the system to force‑ripen it,

Technology has reached that level, but the individual evolution of the civilization's members still needs time to settle.

"So what?"

Lei Ge's smile faded a little.

"So, based solely on the demonstration just now, it is still insufficient to prove that you have the qualifications to become official members of the Alliance."

Wo Xi Ling finally revealed her true purpose.

"The inspection is merely an appetizer. Next, you must undergo a genuine trial; only by passing it will you earn the Alliance's recognition."

Her voice echoed in the empty shipyard.

"For a civilization like yours with an unstable foundation, the mortality rate of this trial is sixty percent."
