Chapter 1119 - 225: Ship Annihilation Cannon

Chapter 1119: Chapter 225: Ship Annihilation Cannon

In general, during large-scale interstellar battles, fleet control systems offer two technological options: manpower and computational power.

Manpower is easy to understand: natural human pilots, bionic man pilots, clone pilots, and so on.

Computational power is also straightforward: AI, some hive minds, consciousness-based life forms.

The former, in high-intensity wars, is prone to negative emotional buffs, and could even be subverted, recruited, or emotionally disturbed.

The latter, on the other hand, is susceptible to large-scale hacking and tampering.

This time, the legion’s high command chose the latter for fleet control.

The reason is simple: the entire planet is currently wrapped in a massive cyber space; the computational power of a planet computer is sufficient to support this doorstep defense battle.

Two ’Big Data Concept Bodies’ also descended upon the command center.

One named ’Pipe Sovereign’ is responsible for maintaining hardware signal transmissions.

The other named ’Eye of AI’ is responsible for monitoring all artificial intelligences.

So excluding players, the manpower invested by the legion in this defense battle is actually 0.

This is the tactical upgrade brought by technology.

Under the control of the ’Eye of AI’, even amidst chaotic battlefield information, the battalion can accurately locate every starship.

As for the opponents of the starships, those ’space behemoths’ with powerful bloodlines are also accurately located, with various monitoring methods for analysis and modeling.

"The cosmos actually has such magical species," Dr. Yuu expressed with a fascinated look: "Strong genes, strong bodies, truly a perfect form of evolution."

"Preliminary tests show that its cell replacement rate is a hundred thousand times that of an ordinary Tier 2 species."

Many high-level members of the battalion focused their attention on one of the space behemoths.

This space behemoth had just taken at least 100,000 energy cannon hits, with its surface blasted into craters, and even several ’flesh ring mountains’, but in less than a second, these ’wounds’ seemed to be smoothed over by time, disappearing entirely.

In terms of blood volume, it had just lost a ’million blood volume’, which was instantly replenished.

Aside from irreversible burns caused by directly colliding with ’solar flares’, other injuries miraculously healed.

However, the ’Kun’s Child’ troops were severely damaged by the ’flare’, as if fate had ordained it.

"The opponent’s level of evolution is already close to one of my research directions, ’genetic immortality’."

"This ’genetic immortality’ is also known in biology as ’Death God Eternal Life’!"

"I think Yuanli’s body has reached this level too, but unfortunately, she refuses to cooperate with my dissection experiments."

"I’ve become a tree, not an idiot!"

Huang Yuanli’s avatar in the command center was furious.

"Since they’re so important, we could try capturing them instead of killing them."

General Quel said relaxedly.

After going through that brutal planetary war, this bald woman had been tempered; at least her tone wasn’t lighthearted out of ignorance but because she comprehensively understood the current battle situation.

"Let’s first use fifty thousand ’ship annihilation cannons’, take it easy, warriors, and do the final adjustments."

General Quel looked at the only player present, ’Don’t worry, you’ll be in a hurry later’.

As a spaceship-focused player, his appearance was very ’spaceship-centric’, wearing a space suit even inside buildings—not a tight-fitting one, but an extended and thickened version.

For General Quel’s request, ’Don’t worry, you’ll be in a hurry later’ silently nodded, sitting in front of a control console to perform the final ship adjustments.

The ’Eye of AI’ extended a virtual arm to touch him, and the next moment, his vision seemed to split into tens of thousands of parts, each attached to a starship. Then, numerous mechanical modules began adjusting. These starships had one thing in common; the parts originally belonging to the ’mechanical keel’ were fitted with an oversized launch device, and in the direction of the reactor, a fist-sized Tier 4 energy stone was stored.

With the reactor running at 200% efficiency, countless cracks began to burn through. This Tier 4 energy, with intensity comparable to a ’small energy mine’, began its preheating phase.

...

The player’s experience in developing the ’Ship Destruction Cannon Blueprint’ was somewhat unique.

As a pure spaceship-centric player, he was different from half-hearted types like the Red Flower Demon; he invested almost all his rewards into the ’spaceship direction’, becoming one of the few versatile talents mastering ’close, long-range ship maintenance’, ’small, medium, large spaceship piloting’, and ’reactor replacement’.

As early as when the battalion first entered interstellar space, he began accumulating ’interstellar travel’ experience.

When he first reached the black market, he bought a second-hand spaceship and began his sailing career.

Though he often encountered bumps along the way, and a moment’s inattention could cost him the entire ship and his savings.

So this ’space suit’ might look high-end, but in reality, it’s just a set of Whiteboard gear.

Whenever his savings ran dry, he’d quietly work within the battalion to accumulate resources.

While others hesitated whether to venture into unfamiliar routes, he had already traversed more than a dozen unknown routes.

The ’Ship Annihilation Cannon’ was born on one of those unfamiliar routes.

That was an ’Ancient Battlefield’; at least, on his first visit, ’Don’t worry, you’ll be in a hurry later’ understood it as such.

He saw various terrifying civilization weapons on that ’Ancient Battlefield’, capable of star destruction, altering vacuum environments, and annihilating billions of lives.

The ’Ship Annihilation Cannon’ is considered a ’simplified version’ of one such civilization weapon.

At that time, it was like enlightenment being instilled into his mind.

He couldn’t accept or understand the knowledge, but the knowledge he could understand, when merged with his experience, created the ’blueprint’.

It was a level 13 Ship Annihilation Cannon.

Its specific operation involved adjusting the ship’s structure, implanting Tier 4 energy, and using the entire ’starship’ as a disposable cannon to fire.

The difficulty lay in its minimum requirement for a starship and needing Tier 4 energy.

The former, he couldn’t afford; the latter, he didn’t even know where to buy from.

So he simply gave the blueprint to the battalion for some points.

And upon testing, this ’Ship Annihilation Cannon’ could reach the power of 1% of a Planet Cannon.

This is roughly higher than the ’Continent-Destroying Level’, reaching the ’Satellite Destruction Level’.

The key is, it can be mass-produced!!

This thing is simply a ’Giant Killer’!

"Adjustments complete."

The player remarked impassively.

...

"I’m going up."

The battle situation was somewhat unexpected to the Kun’s Child; millions of spaceships were unable to breach the defensive line formed by the fifty thousand starships.

For the first time, they witnessed just how fierce the Celestial Calamity Warriors, who defeated the Walter Clan, could be.

They saw repeatedly how these Tier 2 Carbon-Based Warriors, usually core members of common forces, would directly crash into spaceships bare-handed, perishing alongside the vessel.

Many Calamities, to enhance firepower, even held a dozen space torpedoes before slipping into a cabin.

As for those piloting starships to play chicken or engaging in light-speed mode shootouts, such maneuvers were everywhere.

Too crazy!

Kun’s Child felt that if he didn’t get involved, the defensive line might be overrun by these people.

So he took action.

When he appeared in the battlefield center, he saw nearly fifty thousand starships transforming into numerous thick, terrifying streams of light, surpassing light-speed and directly engulfing his elite troops.
