Chapter 260: The Final Assault_l
Translator: 549690339
The K6 Main Cannon rays arrived first, but when they came within 100,000 kilometers of the enemy ship, the millions of deep blue beams seemed to be fiercely seized by a god-like power, twisted in other directions, brushed past the warship, and radiated into the depths of the universe before being quietly swallowed by the Solar System Barrier.
The high-speed gamma-ray blast Missiles came next but detonated prematurely.
In the detectors on our side, one could see the terrifying simulation of the spreading gamma radiation clouds, seemingly about to engulf the enemy warship.
However, these radiation clouds, which could penetrate everything, were still pushed apart by an invisible force.
Following, the composite fission bombs and Dongfeng 199 arrived one after another, with no difference in outcome from before; they simply could not hit their targets and were all diverted away.
If this had been the past timeline, the commanders would have been shattered by this terrifying scene.
But this time, the commanders of the human fleet had been mentally prepared by Harrison Clark, and everything was within expectations.
In fact, these seemingly awe-inspiring Missiles, apart from the gamma ones, were all dummy Missiles loaded with numerous remote detection devices.
All these missiles were intended to gather information as “spy” shells.
There was only one goal: to induce continuous usage of the repulsion field.
Inside a functional War Fortress, Matilda was leading a huge research team of 43,000 people, working frantically to calculate and attempt to crack the secrets of the repulsion field under the ubiquitous computational power of the Star wisdom, based on the information fed back by the front detectors.
For every additional missile wasted, a little more information was gained, and the research progressed a step forward.
Regardless of the analysis outcome, in the following 30 seconds, the human fleet would launch an all-out offensive, further closing the distance and switching from dummy missiles to live ammunition.
However, the battlefield was all about feints and dummies. After the empty shells were successively pushed open by the repulsion field, the final long-range ultimate weapon was ready.
Eight 150-kilometer-long super cannon War Fortresses were the strongest weapons in the human camp.
The Cannon Fortress was cylindrical in shape with a total of eight sections.
Each section resembled the giant wheels on the Dyson Membrane South Pole Space Station but without wheel spokes, just solid metal discs.
Each disc was 80 kilometers in diameter, 16 kilometers in length, with a distance of about 3.5 kilometers between each other, along with a 33-kilometer-diameter central pillar, forming the super cannon fortress.
The eight-segment disc structure was mutually tangent and spinning.
At this point, the War Fortress was like a toppled oil drum floating in space, with the central axis of the front cylinder aimed directly at the Spherical Warship.
In the direction of the central axis, a huge barrel extended forward for nearly 600 kilometers.
It was the Titan Cannon.
The barrel of the Titan Cannon was a 16-segment bamboo-jointed structure, gradually narrowing down with a final firing caliber of 7.62 kilometers.
As the Cannon Fortress began to charge, the eight disc sections started to spin rapidly.
Indicator lights on the outer rim of the discs increased in brightness, turning into a bright ring of light under high-speed spinning.
At the same time, energy radiation waves spread out in circles.
Although the leaked energy was invisible to the naked eye, the detectors could still sense it.
In the starry virtual projection, the eight super cannon fortresses seemed to have transformed into eight suns, serving as massive radiation sources.
The terrifying uncontrolled leakage of energy hinted at the power contained within the accelerating shells in the electromagnetic barrels.
Even as the Medium Engines behind and on the sides of the fortresses were operating at full power, they still could not control their continuous retreat due to the acceleration of the shells.
Hum!
Eight seemingly ordinary spiral conical shells burst almost simultaneously out of the Titan Cannons.
Eight fortresses continued to retreat tens of thousands of kilometers.
The speed of the shells was extremely fast.
Each shell was equipped with top-notch Pseudo-Curvature engines, operating at full power, allowing the shells to reach a third of the speed of light.
Ahead, these eight shells seemed to drag comet-like tails through the vacuum of space.
This was the most potent shell ever produced by humans in collaboration with the Star, with a neutron structural layer encasing the astonishing mass, while the interior held quark fission materials and baryonic fillings.
Upon detonation, the quark fission would drive the rapid rotation of the baryonic filler, generating a space-ripping effect.
An initial assessment suggested that its lethality was not worse than the Particle-interference Bomb!
Ten seconds later, the eight heavy shells crossed a million-kilometer distance, arrived near the Invader Spherical Warship, and were on the brink of detonation!
Whether the Invader Warship could not dodge or simply did not bother to dodge, when it found that the repulsion field could not repel the heavy shells, the Invader surprisingly chose to stand still.
The horrifying event happened.
Eight thin glimmers shot out simultaneously from a small hole in the front of the Invader Warship, accurately hitting the eight shells.
The composite energy force-field shields that should have only shattered upon substantial collision were rendered useless in front of the shells.
The shells were detonated prematurely.
The terrifying explosion roared, and its bright flash nearly overshadowed the sun in the distance.
The blast wave of intertwined black electric arcs and orange-yellow clouds even halted the momentum of the human fleet’s charge for a moment.
Some people in the human camp even began to harbor unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.
Did it succeed?
More than ten seconds later, countless people were slightly taken aback..
