I Really Didn t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 789: Chapter 474: The Last Stand【6500 Words】_1

On September 18th, 3121, the Edge Ship Fleet arrived as scheduled, bringing with it an unparalleled sense of oppression.

However, the people in the Shadow Galaxy were not panicked.

This was all within the predictions of the empire’s high command, and humanity had already prepared extensively for it.

The periphery of the entire Shadow Galaxy had long been set up with a massive Trickster Mine belt that was one hundred million kilometers thick.

The number of Trickster Mines exceeded one trillion.

A single Trickster Mine was only the size of a fist, scattered like dust outside the Dyson membrane, each revolving along a fixed orbit around the vast galaxy.

Trickster Mines were mainly distributed near the Ecliptic Plane, where they were the most concentrated.

However, in order to maintain a certain level of intelligence ability over the Ecliptic Plane, there were still a small number of Trickster Mines with orbits at different angles, ultimately forming a large net similar to an elongated egg pancake shape that resembled the Dyson membrane.

Since the Trickster Mines were too far away from the Shadow Sun, relying on the natural gravity field of the star alone could not firmly confine them within a fixed range, forming a stable Trickster Mine area.

So, each Trickster Mine was equipped with a Field Energy Engine.

The so-called Field Energy Engine was actually a variant of the Pseudo-Curvature Engine, but its output power was much smaller than that of the Pseudo-Curvature Engine, and it hardly compressed space. Instead, it used the vast gravitational field to apply a small amount of steering force.

Under the traction of the Field Energy Engine and the precise control of the stars, trillions of Trickster Mines revolved along crisscrossed orbits without colliding with each other. They maintained a subtle balance and kept a relatively stable number of mines distributed within the unit area.

Trickster Mines came in two types: passive-types that only exploded after physical collisions or interference from energy fields, and active-types that were controlled by both Quantum Network and Gravitational Wave Network. When enemies appeared within a certain range, they would overload and operate at full capacity with the Field Energy Engines, completing rapid propulsion and positioning for the explosion.

The explosive methods of active-type Trickster Mines included antimatter impact, Dark Energy black holes, compressed fusion explosions, and beam energy shockwave diffusion.

The more numerous passive-types used a special magnetic plasma flow from characteristic planetary systems.

After the explosion of a magnetic plasma Trickster Mine, a large amount of liquid Special Alloy called Strange Magnetic Plasma Flow would be released in all directions.

The main feature of these liquid alloys was their strong magnetism, which had a strong metallic resonance ability and experienced high-frequency reversals of the north and south poles at a rate of one hundred thousand times per second.

According to the combat experience between the Morrowind Empire and the Prism Ships in the past twenty to thirty years, when the number of magnetic plasma Trickster Mine explosions reached a certain threshold and there were enough Strange Magnetic Plasma Flows within a fixed range, the teleportation ability of the Compound Eye Prism Ships would be slightly restrained. Their performance would no longer be as stable, and there was a possibility of operational errors.

Given the Compound-Eyed Observer’s combat style, the Prism Ships would decisively abandon teleportation.

Furthermore, the gradually expanding mutated magnetic field would also become a beacon in quantum scans, helping humans quickly and effectively locate the Compound Eye Prism Ships.

This time, the appearance of the Prism Ships had not changed from the last encounter. They were still composed of two three hundred kilometer long pyramids joined together.

The human Chain Formation Fortress Ships arranged outside the Ten-layer Dyson Membrane had a diameter of four hundred kilometers. There were three million of them, each with a crew of one thousand, for a total of three billion crewed warriors.

Each crew member on a fortress ship had different responsibilities, and with the help of artificial intelligence, a thousand warriors could control a fortress spaceship.

Each fortress ship also had a large main battleship controlled by one hundred people, as well as ten medium-sized escort ships controlled by ten people each, and a hundred experienced warriors operating the high-performance, transformable fighters.

These transformable high-performance fighters were the prototypes of the Star Shadow Battle Armor.

Although these warriors were not selected for Harrison Clark’s training class and could not receive his personal guidance, they were still eligible to access the training materials written by Harrison Clark.

At the same time, these warriors’ instructors had participated in the instructor training courses led by Daniel Thompson.

After four months of intensive training, these already elite warriors had made significant progress.

In combination with the constantly updated and upgraded equipment, the overall strength of these fighter pilots supporting the Chain Formation Fortress Ships was not as strong as the genuine Star Shadow Warriors, but they were still considered the best of the best.

Harrison Clark noticed that humanity’s concept of war was changing.

Although the core control of the majority of main battleships was still in human hands, the number of crew members on the ships was vastly different from the previous timeline.

The number of crew members in this timeline had been greatly reduced.

In the past, maintaining a fortress ship with a diameter of four hundred kilometers required at least tens of thousands of people to coordinate its operation.

Now, it only required less than three hundred people, with the vast majority of positions able to accommodate two to three people working in shifts.

In terms of the population density of soldiers in the same cosmic space, assuming that the total military strength of humanity was consistent, the distribution of military personnel had become much less concentrated.

The reason behind this was that humanity had expanded on a large scale, developing more stars, obtaining more energy, and discovering more planets, acquiring more special materials that could not be obtained by relying on mass-energy conversion alone.

The abundance of both energy and materials made it possible for humanity to build more extravagant large-scale units for warfare.

At the same time, due to the performance improvement of the stars, human research on the Quantum Network became more in-depth, and the security level of quantum communication continuously improved. Humanity began to dare to delegate more critical tasks entirely to artificial intelligence, ultimately forming this new mode of warfare.
