Chapter 261: Ultra-High Frequency Oscillator_l
Translator: 549690339 |
As one combat unit after another exhausted their ammunition and continued to converge, the repulsion field’s power increased further.
The speed of the human combat units’ advance suddenly dropped sharply.
One combat unit after another, along with gunfire, collided with the invisible force-field wall almost simultaneously, lighting up half of the enemy spherical warship as large as the Moon.
But no one hesitated, as more and more combat units’ gunfire or warships and fighter planes continued to hit the repulsion field, which slowly began to retreat.
It might have seemed like a long story, but it all happened within one or two seconds.
In these two seconds, humans lost more than 30 million warships and over 700 million soldiers.
Meanwhile, in the Technical Staff Department of the Commander’s Flagship, Martha Owen stared intently at the monitor.
The monitor displayed real-time changes in the intensity of a specific frequency, the very Song of the Wilderness!
At first glance, the invader warship seemed to have done nothing since its arrival, except move a short distance, blocking eight Titan shells. But the Technical Staff Department knew better.
Of course, they were up to something, but they hadn’t succeeded.
As Harrison Clark had said, after the invaders found out that their first attempt to launch a particle-interference bomb had failed, they rapidly increased the energy levels and strengthened the frequency power of the Song of the Wilderness!
In the battlefield area, just as the Song of the Wilderness had just suppressed the Morning Wind, the electromagnetic and gravitational wave signals released by the large speakers on Pluto arrived on time, simultaneously negating each other once more.
In this brief window of time, more and more human warships and combat units approached the range of the spherical warship.
After closing the distance, although some firepower was repelled, as soon as the first super-heavy Dongfeng missile was launched, more and more energy and solid weapons finally hit the enemy ship at close range, exploding into colorful ripples again!
The enemy ship’s electromagnetic interference became stronger and stronger, as terrifying quantum network storms surged like tidal waves, wave upon wave.
In the previous timeline, the human fleet had no resistance to this kind of electromagnetic interference, and nearly all automated equipment failed instantly and without exception.
But this time, the neutron shielding layer greatly reduced the effects of electromagnetic interference.
Not only that, but the human side also had an expert who could manipulate quantum network storms.
It was the former radium, who had once ignited ten years’ worth of Dyson membrane bio-battery reserves for an info-shock, now Star!
Back then, Radium used this energy-consuming technique, which seemed to waste a huge amount of energy but stored a lot of practical experience for Star, collected vast information, and stored it in data. After her continuous multithreaded analysis, many important conclusions were drawn, which became essential references for Star to deal with the enemy today.
Under the protection of the neutron shielding layer, Star actively controlled billions of quantum generators on the large warships and numerous small combat units, rumbling into action.
In the vast cosmos, two quantum network storm info-flows, one large and one small, one magnificent and one tough, were battling each other on an invisible battlefield.
This was a battlefield invisible to the naked eye and without smoke, but its intensity was no less than the exterior battlefield.
The consequences of the war were equally severe.
If Star were to lose, her intelligence would be completely penetrated by the invaders, the human alliance would lose this crucial support, and their combat power would decrease by at least 50%.
The control accuracy ofboth sides was almost similar, but due to limitations in technical level and energy supply, Star could not use abundant energy like the invaders, making her less powerful and inevitably at a disadvantage.
In a war of quantum intelligence between Type II civilizations, if there’s a gap in strength between the two sides, there’s no uncertainties in determining victory or defeat.
The weak will inevitably be eroded by the strong and eventually be defeated.
Even the moment the fight began, the time it would take for the weaker side to be defeated was a fixed value, accurate to eight decimal places.
But at this moment, Star displayed incredible resilience and soaring fighting spirits.
She herself wasn’t sure what was going on, but this supposedly ruthless and unfeeling intelligent life was experiencing excitement for the first time.
So this was what it felt like to fight with a purpose and confront the strong?
Was this the mindset of Nora Camp and Harrison Clark when they faced me?
Is this the meaning of the thousand years I have been waiting for?
It turns out that my limits, and those of humans, have already reached such a level?
How hateful!
If only humans had another hundred years, if only we were allowed to break through…
How despicable!
If only I had created eight million more Blank Ones back then…
Regret!
Star, who had never regretted before, experienced extremely complex emotions in this instant.
But she did not need to waste computing power on tracking these emotions.
These emotions might stem from the neuron cells she took from Carrie Thomas’s consciousness, or, perhaps, from the irreversible logical defects left after her fundamental structure briefly merged and then peeled away from Harrison Clark’s genes while basing its reference on Carrie Thomas’s genes.
This strange sensation was accelerating the irreversible collapse of her underlying framework, but it also gave her extra computing power!
She gradually began to turn the tide!
Star had already reached her limit, even surpassing it!The Earth’s core intelligence belonging to her gradually heated up.
The iron-nickel core slowly released an orange-yellow glow.
In the mantle transition zone, the solid-liquid structure churned and rolled under continuous heating, with more and more solids melting.
The microwave power transmission lines linking the Dyson membrane to Earth also suddenly burst with stronger radiance.
Morning Wind began to overload its core computing power, further squeezing the potential for continuous electrical current supply from the Dyson membrane.
However, even though Morning Wind had already performed exceptionally, the battleships at the forefront still lost their quantum network capabilities when they were 50,000 kilometers away from the enemy ships.
But this was still within Harrison Clark’s expectations.
Upon the captain’s order, “Switch to gravitational-wave communication equipment!”
Switching communication methods would reduce information transmission speed, making it impossible to achieve perfect coordination in the vast cosmic battlefield.
However, basic communication could still be maintained with simplified instructions, at least the human soldiers hadn’t become completely blind.
Meanwhile, the ships and missiles could still use intelligent devices under the protection of the neutron shielding layers.
Yet, new threats had already arrived.
As the vanguard fleet approached within ten thousand kilometers under continuous barrage, even with the protection of enhanced energy shields and biological-metal composite armor, they began to feel the excruciating pain that could tear their bodies apart.
It was the deadly microlight Harrison Clark had described.
After sacrificing hundreds of thousands of soldiers in more than one thousand warships, the Biological Institute, stationed in another functional war fortress, quickly came up with results.
“It’s an unknown radiation that resonates with the microstructures in our bodies through quantum entanglement! Use No. 3 Stellar Elixir!”
To counter the microlight described by Harrison Clark, the existing scientists of the Biological Institute, Physics Institute, and Titan Institute exhausted their wisdom, cutting into various disciplines such as biology, medicine, quantum science, basic physics, etc. They deduced the principle of microlight based on the “symptoms” Clark described.
The project team eventually proposed thirty-seven possible solutions, the third of which was the No. 3 Stellar Elixir.
As the name suggests, the so-called Stellar Elixir could make the human body release radiant heat energy autonomously, raising the body temperature instantly to over 90 degrees Celsius.
If it were 21st-century humans, they would die instantly.
But in the 31st century, where the average gene activation rate had reached 32%, well-trained soldiers could withstand this temperature for more than fifty seconds.
That was enough.
Stellar Elixir not only worked for ordinary soldiers but also for the elite and top fighters with even higher activation rates.
The higher the activation rate, the longer one can persist under the Stellar Elixir and the stronger combat power one can exert!
Fight with everything!
The soldiers at the forefront unanimously executed the operation, beginning to inject the elixir.
Less than half a second later, the elixir took effect successively, replacing the pain that could tear the body and soul with scorching heat that was barely bearable.
The soldiers regained their spirits.
Although they had only fifty seconds to live, what of it?
At that moment, Matilda sent a message.
“I’ve cracked the enemy’s repulsion field!”
As soon as Matilda finished speaking, a signal with three different carriers dispersed from the war fortress, quickly transmitting across the entire army.
Nora Camp looked up and saw, sending the command in an instant, specifically implementing it into every warship, every warship shield operator, every fighter pilot, and every Eagle Strike Warrior’s brain.
According to Matilda’s analysis, although the repulsion field seemed incredibly strange, its fundamental application still fell within the scope of the unified force of gravity.
Humans have even begun to use similar technology.
The essence of the technology of the Eight Great Giant Shield-shaped War Fortresses’ distortion of space acceleration was almost the same as that of the repulsion field.
It was just that the invaders’ application technique had advanced so much that the quantitative change led to a qualitative change. They used an otherwise common technology to achieve an incredible effect, which gave humans a sense of insurmountable difficulty.
Now that humans had understood the essence and knew that the core still involved precise manipulation of the unified force, they converted the strong and weak interactions in the three fundamental interactions in a certain range into reverse gravity, while also reversing the direction of gravity, constantly amplifying it, and finally forming a white hole-like effect of matter gushing in a certain range.
But the repulsion field was not a real white hole; it only looked like one.
Its principle was not genuine repulsion.
It accurately locked onto all energy and matter trying to approach itself, generating a gravitational field almost as powerful as a black hole behind the source, point by point.
A quasi-black-hole gravitational field formed an invisible rope, dragging the energy and matter trying to approach it elsewhere.
Now its mysterious veil had been torn apart.
Humans had prepared contingency plans and already had countermeasures.
“Activate the ultra-high-frequency reverse magnetic oscillators on all missiles!”
This was Nora Camp’s order.
