Chapter 744: Chapter 741: Secret Weapon
“But…”
A military expert nearby questioned, “How should we defeat the opponent? The Subatomic Beam Cannon was indeed effective, but it’s all used up. This Iron Ball moves so fast, the hit rate of various weapons is terribly low, even the light-speed weapons… As you’ve seen, the hit rate is too low.”
His voice beca increasingly agitated, “Perhaps several hits from the Subatomic Beam Cannon are needed to destroy it; we would need to risk too much!”
“And the opponent’s Iron Ball is so tough, even if it crashes into us hard, we cannot withstand it! If it really cos down to it, I suggest abandoning this aircraft carrier, using life-saving shuttles, and escaping from all sides. There’s still ti! It’s urgent!”
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and said, “Don’t panic just yet, evacuation is certainly necessary for so of the population… but we still have a secret weapon, left by a superior civilization, but there’s only one shell, more powerful than antimatter!”
“If it hits, I believe it can cause massive damage… If that Iron Ball really keeps hitting back and forth, its speed will inevitably decrease significantly. Using the secret weapon could paralyze it instantly, creating a hole!”
Secret weapon?!
Suddenly, the previously noisy crowd slowly cald down.
Several Half-sphere people widened their eyes, curious about the so-called “secret weapon” that the humans spoke of; a relic left by an advanced civilization?
There’s such a good thing?!
Zhang Yuan ignored these wide-eyed Half-sphere people, forcing his mind to stay calm and think: “And I think, this Iron Ball shouldn’t be using kinetic energy to cause damage; otherwise, its shape would be like a bullet, not a sphere. Bullets can cause damage, what is the power of a sphere?”
“On the other hand, under Curvature Navigation mode, it’s impossible to have very high kinetic energy! Even with a technology further than Curvature Navigation, like the Hyperspace engine, there is no kinetic energy.”
“Think about it, subatomic weapons were effective against it, causing so cracks, antimatter weapons should also be effective… So for this Artificial Intelligence to rely on kinetic damage, isn’t that too foolish? It couldn’t possibly know that we don’t carry much antimatter, and if it gets hit, it would explode.”
“So what is the purpose of it taking the risk to fly over here…”
“Could it be to deploy a Digital virus? It’s possible, but we already have many precautions against Digital viruses…”
After a few seconds of thinking, Zhang Yuan forcefully clapped his hands, “I got it, the first goal of this probe is for territorial expansion, not survival! It wants to seize our spaceship, or perhaps install so special chip?”
“By taking our ship and controlling the population on this spaceship, it would be enough for it to launch more colonial spaceships and complete its entire goal!”
“So, it runs over here aggressively, it might engage us in a boarding battle, yes, it wants to snatch this spaceship! If we let it get too close, under the influence of the Digital virus, our electronic systems would still be invaded by strong Artificial Intelligence, and our entire spaceship would still be paralyzed. At that point, we could only resort to the tactic of overwhelming numbers, sending soldiers directly onto the battlefield.”
Zhang Yuan’s idea, lacking much evidence, seed a bit whimsical, and many people present were a bit slow to react… but upon deeper consideration, it seed sowhat plausible.
Faced with the electronic invasion by strong Artificial Intelligence, so experts were both excited and fearful, not knowing what to think.
This ant that they could capture more Digital viruses, obtain more comprehensive data; it also ant that their task had just beco more substantial.
To escape, or to fight here?
General Guo’s face was uncertain, but he also knew it was not a ti for hesitation, even if issuing the wrong command was better than dawdling here.
Right then, he steeled himself and issued the order, “Damn it, no running, let’s fight it!”
He shouted into the intercom, “First Squadron, Second Squadron prepare, that Iron Ball is about to charge over, quickly man the small shuttles for external interception!”
“Third Battalion, Fourth Battalion, hold the interior of the spaceship!”
“Fifth Column, urgently notify the rear, let them know our current position, and the ergency situation we’ve encountered, hurry!”
After making his decision, Zhang Yuan imdiately led his team to assess the parts of the aircraft carrier that had been attacked.
But the preparation ti was too short. Suddenly, the entire aircraft carrier violently shook as if sothing embedded itself into the ship’s hull.
The diater of this iron ball was 150 ters, while the length of the aircraft carrier was a full 15 kiloters. The two differed by two orders of magnitude, equivalent to a pea embedding itself inside a human body.
The trendous shock threw Zhang Yuan directly into the air, slamming him hard against the ceiling, accidentally biting his tongue, instantly producing a spicy taste in his throat.
However, at the mont, he couldn’t care too much. He imdiately propped himself up, his mind still rapidly thinking.
“This iron ball… has it stopped? It seems the aircraft carrier hasn’t been penetrated… Yes, the aircraft carrier hasn’t been penetrated.”
While the communication was still functioning, Zhang Yuan glanced at the monitor screen and saw a silver iron ball sticking out from the central rear section of the aircraft carrier.
A door in the middle opened, releasing a dense mass of robots!
At the forefront was a silver-white robot, followed by a large pile of strangely shaped black robots.
“There really are robots packed inside!”
A black flying robot quickly approached the monitor, and suddenly, the screen flickered, undergoing an electronic invasion.
“Everyone be careful, there’s a virus invasion, they want to seize control of the spaceship!”
Inside the control room, an expert in front of the screen had a quick thought and swiftly disconnected the network of this monitor.
Everyone had the sa thought, “As expected, it really wants to seize this aircraft carrier!”
General Guo’s face showed a murderous intent. As an old soldier who had experienced real warfare on the Dyson Sphere battlefield, he didn’t hesitate any longer and grabbed the laser weapon on his Power Armor.
“Let it taste the might of our soldiers!”
1 minute later, the central server on the screen started flickering continuously, showing signs of a virus invasion. Several quick-reacting engineers directly disconnected the Internet cables connected to it. This ti, their preparations were indeed thorough; these cables were individually structured, and even if one was disconnected, it would not affect the use of other monitors.
Endless soldiers started rushing to the front lines, reinforcing the battlefield. Amidst the disruption of various electromagnetic pulse bombs, even the monitors beca a bit unstable. Only the most basic wired telephones could still function, allowing the command center to understand the frontline situation.
Without caring how the front was faring, General Guo hurriedly moved out a special electromagnetic gun from a secret room in the rear…
It looked ordinary, no different from a regular electromagnetic cannon tank.
“Is this the secret weapon?” Several Half-sphere commanders were slightly skeptical, touching the tank, hoping to find sothing unique about it.
It really did look just like an ordinary electromagnetic tank.
