Chapter 796: Chapter 475: Even If Going Against the Light, We Must Sail in the Storm【6400 Words】_4
More and more Blade Mantises shook off their opponents and chased after them.
The Torrent Assault Team actively gave up entanglements and began to retreat into the distance, executing wide-range curve maneuvers, preparing to enter the curvature subspace and return to the star system.
Fifteen seconds later, for the second time, the chaotic, unregulated, and undirected physical black hole explosion swallowed the DL333 Prism Ship.
After ten more seconds, the turbulence dissipated.
The gleaming Prism Ship still stood in the universe.
Another five seconds.
A massive B-Class fleet led by General Gaius Julius appeared below the DL333 Prism Ship.
Gaius used the explosion just now as cover, risking the terrible disordered flow, and brought his fleet here to carry out the next stage of the siege.
Before this, Gaius’s Caesar Fleet had been continually making curve maneuvers.
The moment Felix Yeoman successfully detonated the second explosion, the command center made a quick decision to expand their achievements and let Gaius conduct the next round of testing.
At this time, the Caesar Fleet had a total of over 63,000 main battleships, over 360,000 escort ships, and more than 3 million high-performance fighters.
“Caesar Fleet has reached the predetermined target with a 31.32% loss rate from the shuttle battle. The remaining battleships are in good condition and ready to proceed with the second round of in-depth testing! The Supermassive Stellar Corona Cannon begins charging!”
This was the seemingly insignificant yet extremely heroic epic in the first day of the war.
On the third day, General Dillon used the cover of Fortress Ships to lead the Fearless Titan Ship, the largest combat unit second only to the DF-711 Fortress Starship at the time, to complete the testing of the Chimera Liquid Missile and lay down the second space plant net.
On the seventh day, Lauren Danni Fox led the C-class Desire Fleet and successfully assembled eight main battleships into a Supernova Star Energy Cannon.
Unfortunately, this test failed.
The charging time for the Energy Cannon took 39 seconds, giving the Compound-Eyed Observers too much time.
The combined giant Cannon was destroyed.
After the failed test, the Desire Fleet failed to withdraw and was entangled by a team of nearly 100,000 upgraded Blade Mantises.
The replenished Torrent Assault Team, now with 15,000 members, went out again, sacrificing nearly half of their number to successfully cover the retreat of half of the Desire Fleet.
Harrison Clark kept watching, ever watching.
In order to keep himself calm, he could only invest more energy in teaching.
Rationality told him not to give up his cosmology course, but his emotions made him uneasy while reading, unable to concentrate.
He wanted to cultivate more elite fighters.
But very few of the students who left him could continue to live.
Even Marthus had his spine or limbs blown off several times, just barely surviving by luck each time, and receiving timely treatment.
On the twelfth day of the war, the commanders’ speculated end of the probe was almost reached.
One of the Prism Ships’ front half pyramid structure was completely opened, with a cone-like object resembling a mini Prism Ship slowly floating out from within.
It was the first time humans had seen such a thing during the Hundred Years’ War.
After charging for several minutes, a finger-sized, thin beam of light burst from the top of the conical object, shining on the XL795 Fortress Ship forming the Chains Array.
Bang!
Just one shot.
The Fortress Ship exploded.
“Ultra-strong pulse energy reaction…”
“A billion-degree high-temperature reaction…”
“The Fortress Ship’s explosion mode is self-oscillation…”
“The theoretical destructive upper limit of this weapon is a planet!”
“It can instantly destroy a medium-large planet!”
Five seconds later, military scientists drew their conclusion.
This conical cannon was named the Pulse Oscillation Star-Breaking Cannon.
The energy released was similar in nature to a singularity or a white hole.
The emitted focused light was a mixture of energy and matter.
However, before its release, there was no high-energy reaction in the cosmic space where the Prism Ship was located.
There was only one explanation: the energy source of the Star-shattering Cannon was “borrowed” by the Compound-Eyed Observers.
The one who had the energy “borrowed” should have been a black hole, but it was not the huge physical black hole that was not too far away, but the Galactic Center.
The essence of the Star-shattering Cannon was still the use of unified force.
Faced with this situation, some people felt bone-chilling despair.
It was at this time that Harrison Clark stepped forward.
He spoke slowly, “This is a weapon given to the Compound-Eyed Observers by a higher-order civilization, like the Dome. So far, it’s the biggest card they have. I don’t know how many more cards they have, but we’ve uncovered another one.”
The soldiers who had been somewhat discouraged just a moment ago instantly regained their fighting spirit.
Yes, we did it!
Just then, a cold light flashed in the distance.
A crude-looking, elongated ship filled with various types of cannons and weapons appeared from afar to close range.
“Seventh Star Region, XC2321-RD78221 route 37415 Carrier Ship reporting for duty! Behind me are at least 1.3 trillion Carrier Ships! We have sent away our families, and now we want to join the fight!”
1.3 trillion Carrier Ships.
These were all the remaining Carrier Ships that were active in several nearby star regions.
Some were still far away and might not arrive for decades.
Others were already close by or even arrived earlier than Harrison Clark.
On each ship, there were at least a few people, sometimes more than ten.
They were supposed to cut off contact and disappear quietly, but they returned.
Each one of them wanted to defend this last bastion of humanity and preserve the last hope.
