I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 816: Chapter 485: The Wisdom of the Ancients_1

Now, Lin Bu is still alive, and the Plant Network Resonance can still capture his brain activity’s extremely subtle quantum storms that are released externally.

After countless magnifications by the life monitoring instrument, the detector can even simply see his mood changes through the intensity changes of the Thought Quantum Storm.

When he first entered the Prism Ship, and the other eleven followers had not yet sacrificed, his Thought Quantum Storm intensity was very high, and it was still growing, with drastic changes in the storm’s intensity.

At the time of the last follower’s sacrifice, Lin Bu’s thoughts reached their peak.

But as time went on, more than ten minutes passed, and the intensity of his Thought Quantum Storm continued to weaken, until finally stabilizing at a very low level, only erupting intermittently every ten seconds, and then being quickly suppressed.

Although no one can see the scene inside with their own eyes, people should be able to imagine it roughly.

There must have been intense battles between Lin Bu and the other eleven Shadow Warriors.

Throughout the entire battle, the green dots representing human soldiers changed positions several times inside the Prism Ship, running from the front to the back, and then moving around within the ship, until finally stopping in the middle of the ship, becoming like lab rats.

Harrison Clark once tried to contact Lin Bu directly, but the isolation and shielding of the Prism Ship against the quantum network was too strong, and the human quantum network could not penetrate stably, only intermittently receiving some very chaotic signals, accompanied by the background noise, like a malfunctioning radio.

Lin Bu’s situation is a mystery, but Harrison Clark cannot worry about that now.

Now the Compound-Eyed Observer knows that he has arrived, so it will surely make some comprehensive arrangements.

Either increase the offensive intensity for a quick resolution, which would carry some risks.

Or pull back the Prism Ship formation, retreat the battle line further and maintain a longer distance from the Shadow Galaxy, leaving more maneuvering space, no longer easily launching attacks proactively, and wait for the main forces to continue gathering before launching the final attack.

No matter what strategy the Compound-Eyed Observer adopts, it may lead to significant changes in the battle situation in a very short time, which is not a good thing.

The best way for Harrison Clark to maximizing benefits and capturing a Prism Ship is to take the initiative to surprise them.

Not to mention the Compound-Eyed Observer, even most human soldiers have never thought that Harrison Clark would enter the battlefield immediately after arriving in just fifteen minutes, and it is even harder to imagine the kind of change he alone, operating the Folding Shadow Battle Armor, would bring to the war.

As Harrison Clark continuously warped forward, the newly-made Folding Shadow Battle Armor began to provide continuous feedback.

“Energy stability 100%, 99.74%…”

Due to the high-intensity performance squeeze, the energy stability inside the battle armor’s functional module was continuously declining.

“Warp Subspace Layer energy pipeline pressure level 1, 2… 7…”

The internal pressure of the biological pipeline, based on the Z Bacteria gene information, was continuously rising.

“Information accuracy rate 99.9999%, 98…”

With each warp, the battle armor’s intelligent module needs to carry out complex calculations for Triple Space, accurately finding the nine-coordinate parameters interposed within the Triple Space, with the parameter accuracy requiring precision up to tens of decimal places.

If a mistake occurs, the battle armor might only partially complete the warp or directly jump into a solid substance.

The probability of such incidents occurring was not small.

After Mr. Green’s command post was targeted, the human army took remedial measures.

Now, floating throughout the Solar System, in addition to ships, fighter planes, and various automated weapons, there are countless curved metal sheets with a light reflectance rate infinitely close to 100%.

The sheets are generally distributed starting from the middle of the orbit of Mars’ and Jupiter’s Shadows, spreading outwards to the near side of the Asteroid Belt.

These 0.5cm thick mirror sheets were staggered in space, driven by propulsion to revolve around the Shadow of the Sun in their respective orbits.

Under the fine control of the stars, the orbits of the sheets intersected and cleverly blocked the light rays.

From any position outside the Solar System, if one extended a straight line inwards, it must at least pass through three metal sheets.

Although Star-shattering Cannons possessed strong penetration power, continuously traversing three layers of mirrors with a high-energy reflection rate would result in a lot of energy diffuse scattering. It would then be easily absorbed by the patrolling ultra-heavy shield ships surrounding important strategic targets, nullifying all damage.

Compared to the giant Fortress mode of DF-711 Starship, the Shadow Galaxy’s defensive line looked more relaxed at this moment, but it was not inferior in strength.

Moreover, during the siege of the Fortress Starship, the Prism Ship fleet did not reveal the ultimate weapon, the Star-shattering Cannon.

It was evident that the war strength displayed by the Shadow Galaxy was much stronger.

The fact that humans in the Shadow Galaxy could complete rapid deployment and generate billions of metal sheets with a powerful energy reserve and strong industrial production capability within just a few days after Mr. Green’s “assassination” was due to their extraordinary resources.

There was also Freddy’s contribution, as the production process of the metal sheets used a lot of new technology from the Planting Battleship.

At that time, however, no one thought that Harrison Clark would need to traverse the galaxy in such a short time.

The defense installations caused no small trouble for Harrison Clark, but luckily his capacity was strong enough to always compensate for the quantum chip’s calculation errors with intuition and high-speed brain calculations.

At least Harrison Clark had confidence in himself.

“Warp accident rate 0.087%, 0.135%…”

Due to the complexity of the external environment and the continuous high-intensity operation of the equipment, Harrison Clark’s potential accident rate was also steadily rising.

“Bro, your continuous use of warping is too much. The equipment needs cooling to correct the parameters. It’s best to pause at least five minutes.”

Freddy sent a message to Harrison Clark.

Harrison Clark angrily replied, “If I don’t say anything, would you just let me rest? What’s the panic about this accident rate?”

While communicating with Freddy, Harrison Clark was also observing the development of the battle situation on the front line of Area One.

The Compound-Eyed Observer’s fierce attack was temporarily held back.Though the Prism Ships could still withstand human firepower, their outer shells were gradually deforming under continuous bombardment.

Furthermore, some small combat units of the Compound-Eyed Observer, even the Blade Mantises, were no longer able to cope and were being swiftly wiped out by the Torrent Assault Team and other firepower.

Without the cover of small combat units, the Prism Ships, with their powerful firepower, now seemed more like carrier battleships from StarCraft that had lost all their small aircraft.

Although they seemed fierce, they were actually unimpressive. The Prism Ships could easily become the target of concentrated fire, merely providing humans with the opportunity to test new weapons.

Indeed, on a small scale, the heavy weapons on the Prism Ships would inflict heavy casualties on humans every time they fired. But if the number of human combat units were scaled up to billions, human casualties were also a kind of victory.

The Compound-Eyed Observer also realized this, so the Prism Ship formation had already stopped moving forward and was slowly retreating.

Harrison Clark couldn’t wait for five more minutes. If he hesitated for five more minutes, the Prism Ship containing Needham Brown would have merged with the others.

“Make the combat units in the asteroid belt think of a way to temporarily drag these thousands of Prism Ships in place, at least for another three minutes!”

Having said that, Harrison Clark continued to charge forward.

“Harrison, two new high-speed Blade Mantis strike forces consisting of special operations teams are coming from the Prism Ships outside sections three and six, like you performing large-scale maneuvers, thrusting inward. Each Blade Mantis strike force has nearly three hundred.”

This news was directly sent to him by Nora Camp, the highest commander.

The two gradually became acquainted after several contests.

Although Nora Camp didn’t become an Informed Guide, she couldn’t resist Harrison Clark’s insistence and changed her appellation, addressing him directly by his name.

Harrison Clark nodded slightly, not surprised. His high-speed maneuvering within the Solar System was too conspicuous, and it would be strange if the Compound-Eyed Observer didn’t think of something.

“It’s okay, they’re not as fast as I am, and they can’t catch up.”

“We have detonated a large-scale plasma magnetic Trickster Mine, which can effectively disrupt the stability of the Blade Mantises’ warp. At the same time, Star has begun all-round calculations to predict the warp traces of the Blade Mantises, and our interception system has been activated. It is initially estimated that only about a hundred from each of the two teams can reach your path.”

In previous battles, the Compound-Eyed Observer had indeed repeatedly dispatched Blade Mantises to carry out surprise attacks deep into the enemy’s territory, trying to destroy the energy warehouses, industrial production bases, and research bases of the Shadow Galaxy.

But humans had automated floating artillery, missile bases, intelligent defense fighters, and rear fleets deployed throughout the inner layer, with interception at almost every turn. This could effectively block the Blade Mantises’ raids.

The 64 spherical war fortresses of the third defensive line between the orbits of the Shadow of Earth and Shadow of Mars constituted an impenetrable wall.

During the previous Blade Mantis raids conducted by the Compound-Eyed Observer, they only left some corpses and provided humans with more Blade Mantis warp engine cores, without achieving any substantive results.

“A hundred each? That’s quite tricky and will delay me quite a bit.”

Nora Camp: “Yes, I’m urgently mobilizing reinforcements. These two coordinates are where you can get the energy beam bombs.”

After Nora Camp’s words, Harrison Clark received two new coordinates in the communication network.

Harrison Clark’s eyes shifted, “Alright, got it.”

Having said that, he slightly changed his course and pounced on the new coordinates sent directly by Nora Camp.

But he didn’t reach that coordinate. Instead, during his last warp, he suddenly changed direction and appeared in another location 2,814,000 kilometers away.

Behind him, a violent explosion was occurring.

Nearly a hundred Blade Mantises that had arrived at that spot almost simultaneously with him crashed headlong into the minefield, being blown to smithereens by the disguised space station-shaped giant bomb.

Everything went without saying.

Harrison Clark had already learned the coordinates of the energy beam bombs from the encrypted communication.

Now Nora Camp reiterating the coordinates – and in a completely different manner over the infiltrated quantum communication line – was clearly a trap prepared for the Compound-Eyed Observer and waiting for them to jump into it.

And the Compound-Eyed Observer indeed took the bait.

After the change of direction, Harrison Clark quickly connected with the first energy beam bomb, and then went straight to the second coordinate given by Nora Camp.

This time, the other hundred Blade Mantises didn’t charge straight at that coordinate but scattered in front, forming a large net trying to intercept Harrison Clark’s path.

However, this second coordinate was indeed real.

Harrison Clark easily obtained the second energy beam bomb and then made a huge C-shaped detour, taking a slightly longer route to successfully avoid the Blade Mantises’ interception.

The interception plan of the Compound-Eyed Observer was officially declared a failure. They only donated six hundred Blade Mantis warp cores for nothing, without any strategic significance.

Truth mixed with lies, reality and illusion.

When falsehood becomes true, truth becomes false. Thousands of years ago, this ploy was recorded in The Theory on War.

No one could have imagined that thousands of years later, the ancient military strategy would be applied to cosmic warfare and still be effective.

Humans have accumulated too much wisdom about warfare throughout their tens of thousands of years of internal strife. This wisdom could even be called an art.

Humans do not merely become smarter the longer they live, and neither does civilization.

In fact, in the past timeline, human commanders also had this capability, but the gap between the two sides was too vast, and any strategy would be overwhelmed by strength.

Things are different now.

In the small-scale regional battlefield of the Shadow Galaxy, it seems that humans are retreating step by step, but they actually have an advantage in terms of military strength.

Thus, strategy has significance.
