Chapter 265: Breaking the Shield_l
Translator: 549690339
The moment the detector discovered a trace, the pseudo-curvature engine, which had been preheated, suddenly roared to life.
With more than a hundred million pilots constantly interfering with each other, nearly thirty million battleships in the rear began to change directions irregularly.
Meanwhile, the eight giant cannon fortresses finally completed their third
firing.
As the eight projectiles were launched straight out, the cannon fortresses did not even need to be attacked by the invaders before they shattered into countless components on their own, while their crew had already transferred to the escape vessels.
The design standard of the giant cannon fortresses only allowed them to fire three times, and now their mission was complete.
The eight extremely heavy projectiles no longer cared about foe-or-friend identification, piercing through the main fleet’s battleground and striking vigorously!
As these eight projectiles hit the enemy ships, particle-interference bombs near the rear fleet also exploded!
Despite the skilled pilots’ efforts to move randomly, the rear fleet still suffered considerable damage.
Eight shield-type fortresses, eight functional fortresses, and several thousand main ships were hit due to their slow acceleration.
But no one had the time to care about their comrades’ casualties. Most people’s attention shifted to the Invader Warships.
After the violent explosion, the outer flowing light shield of the spherical battleship began to collapse!
The enemy ship’s proud outer shield was broken!
Nora Camp issued a new command, “The whole army move forward irregularly!”
The opportunity for a total attack had appeared, and the reserve fleet was no longer standing by.
Simultaneously, an entirely new algorithm suddenly appeared in front of all commanders and technicians.
Star had cracked the invisibility mechanism of the Dragonfly Fighter!
She found a way to track their position by releasing special frequency electromagnetic waves!
She calculated this complex frequency, and the existing equipment of humans
was sufficient to support it!
All battleships’ electromagnetic communication devices had started to synchronize!
The shadows of one Dragonfly enemy aircraft after another appeared on the tactical radar of the battleships, the three-dimensional radar of the fighter planes, and the tactical helmets of the Eagle Strike Warriors.
This time, as soon as the invader’s trump card emerged, it was immediately cracked by the humans.
Hide-and-seek garbage, we see you!
Main fleets and Eagle Strike Warriors quickly changed their attack mode.
Being able to locate and capture the enemy aircraft’ s trajectory, they no longer needed to launch aimless cover attacks. All combat units instantly switched to single-target killing weapons.
In the first round of simultaneous firing, energy weapons and solid weapons
shared half of the energy allocation.
However, the maneuverability of the Dragonfly enemy aircraft was too strong, and their direction-changing pattern was too unpredictable. Solid weapons had a slow trajectory speed and couldn’t hit at all.
On the other hand, energy weapons with light-speed trajectories were
successful one after another.
For the second round of simultaneous firing, humans immediately switched to
pure energy weapons.
Various phased light beams, high-energy particles, energy-concentrated lasers, miniature and medium-sized K5 rays, and other energy weapons intertwined into a dense network in space, posing a significant threat to Dragonfly Fighters.
However, under this new situation, the most autonomous Eagle Strike Warriors started to show their power.
After taking the modified Meteor Elixir, ordinary Falcon Warriors could also perform curvature-changing maneuvers. Although they were still less agile than Dragonfly enemy aircraft, their extreme speed was almost the same.
Using numerical superiority, the warriors quickly formed small warzones with more than ten times the enemy’s military strength to chase and tangle. They tried to cause damage with their own small weapons and trapped enemy aircraft as much as possible to create opportunities for battleships to focus fire and launch simultaneously.
As the new strategy took effect, the invincible Dragonfly Fighters began to be destroyed quickly!
in less than a minute, at the cost of nearly 50 million Eagle Strike Warriors and nearly 10 million battleships, the main fleet quickly eliminated all the stealth warships!
The remaining main fleet and reserve fleet continued to advance, releasing phase-shifted long-range solid weapons to maintain firepower suppression.
Particle-interference bombs were still being produced and exploding continuously.
However, Harrison Clark had previously managed to avoid the bombs with the escape pod. This time, humans had more powerful engines, better detectors, faster artificial intelligence algorithms, and had simulated and trained for this situation multiple times in previous drills. Even the relatively bulky large battleships had an 80% chance of successful evasion.
Under the new power of the combined curvature and dielectric engine, the AI- controlled battleships and other combat units, without having to switch phase transition states, could barely approach the spherical battleship at a distance of about ten thousand kilometers by relying on the repulsion field.
As the dense long-range missiles bombarded the enemy, the situation seemed to be leaning heavily in humanity’s favor.
Harrison Clark pondered for a few seconds, and his inspiration told him.
It was not time to rush yet; they had to continue lurking.
He glared at Needham Brown, who was signaling him impatiently.
His judgment was correct. As the remaining main fleet and reserve fleet struggled to avoid the chase of particle-interference bombs with irregular movements and get within a range of ten to fifteen thousand kilometers from the spherical battleship, a silent yet massive chain of “big explosions” with a single shot coverage area of more than 10,000 kilometers in radius occurred.
This was a silent explosion, without any light or shadow.
Only one round of pitch-black voids was born in the emptiness, devouring everything in their range.
This form of explosion resembled the ultimate weapon once studied by Star but ultimately came to nothing.
Black Hole Bomb!
This is the space collapse strike that might occur during the explosion of a black hole bomb.Another one of the enemy’s cards was forced out, but Harrison Clark really didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about it.
Fortunately, he had not acted impulsively just now; if his team was also swept into the spatial collapse, he would have been finished on the spot.
Harrison Clark quickly received feedback from Star.
After breaking free from analyzing the invisibility ability of the Dragonfly Enemy Aircraft, Star immediately proceeded to the next task.
She was initially fully focused on analyzing the mystery of the spherical battleship’s surface fog shield that could isolate energy damage. Now, she had to add another task – the analysis of the black hole bomb.
Star: “This is the black hole bomb you once dreamed of, the atomic blackhole.
It has a short existence and is very unstable, but its power…
Harrison Clark: “I saw it, it’s astonishing. Is there a way to crack it?”
“No, I can only attempt to learn. But even if I learn it, it would not directly help in this war. Should I learn it?”
Star did not tell Harrison Clark that she was still trying to analyze and crack the fog shield, and the quantum network war had never stopped.
Her workload had not decreased, and the intensity had reached an unimaginable level.
Far away on Earth, volcanoes were continuously erupting due to the ongoing core temperature rise, turning the planet into a hellish landscape.
Over 30,000 Earth technicians, risking their lives and accompanied by intelligent robots, were desperately repairing and maintaining the necessary computing power.
Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “Learn it if you can, I need this.
“Okay.”
Star’s voice disappeared again.
Harrison Clark’s gaze shifted to the main fleet’s rear, about 10,000 kilometers away, where Nora Camp was leading the reserve fleet forward.
In that commander’s flagship, besides the child’s mother, Martha Owen, Bernal Connor, Dr. Owen, Scott, and others were making their last efforts at their respective positions.
As for Matilda, the dean of the Information Institute and others who stayed in the Functional Fortress and Shield-type Fortress, their lives had already ended under the strike of the Particle-interference Bomb, whether or not they had completed their historical missions.
At this moment, the human fleet was at a loss in the face of such a wide coverage and sudden range of spatial collapse attacks.
Only a moment later, the battle situation reversed once again.
The demise of the human fleet was now irreversible.
But to be defeated would not mean a complete collapse.
As long as no one escaped, there would be only defeat, not dissolution.
Even if it ended in a crushing defeat, one must fall while moving forward, never leaving one’s backside to the enemy to die disgracefully again.
As Harrison Clark observed Nora Camp’s commander flagship, she was actually watching him as well.
But she couldn’t see the traces of Harrison Clark and his team. She could only speculate, according to the previous plan, that Harrison should be in that void area.
She had so many things to say to Harrison Clark in her heart.
But she couldn’t.
It took a tremendous effort to have Harrison Clark and his team stealthily approach that position and still keep their elite forces intact.
Nora Camp wasn’t sure at which stage Star’s ongoing quantum network war with the enemy was.
If Star lost, all the secrets within the human communication channels would be exposed to the enemy.
Attempting to transmit information to Harrison Clark would only lead to his capture.
However, even without being able to communicate, Nora’s heart didn’t feel too lonely.
She believed that Harrison Clark must know that she was still standing there, fighting alongside him.
“Just looking at that emptiness, I won’t feel alone. Even if our resting places are a hundred thousand miles apart, we are still buried under the same starry sky. Next time, you’ll definitely pull me out of your timeline again.” Nora Camp let out a free-spirited laugh, “Inject me with the energy elixir, atomic repair fluid, and Singularity Mind Explosion Fluid in excess!” Scott, who was next to her, exclaimed in horror, “Singularity Mind Explosion Fluid?”
Nora Camp nodded, “Yes, don’t dawdle, hurry up!”
Scott clenched his teeth and pressed the button on the box with a skull warning sign beside him.
As early as the second half of the 20th century, stimulants had played a dishonorable but objectively existing role in many human sports events. People’s understanding of stimulants usually stopped at the belief that they could improve explosive power, endurance, and nerve response speed, among other aspects.
But in fact, there were also stimulants for mental activities, although with higher technology levels, more complex mechanisms, and more covert actions. Due to the unique structure of the human brain, the side effects of mental stimulants were often more significant.
After thousands of years of development, stimulants had never disappeared from history.
The Meteor Elixir was just one of them. On the commander’s side, there was another recently developed super elixir from the Biological Institute called Singularity Mind Explosion Fluid.
As the name suggests, its effect was to make the brain’s activity instantly reach its peak, with the quantum storm in the mind reaching a terrifying intensity akin to a singularity explosion.
The drug effect lasted for five minutes.
After the drug’s effect ended, the user would die on the spot.
