Sky-cracking Rider

The advantage of a high-density energy beam is that it can be infinitely stacked and focused to exponentially increase its power, even reaching the level of a stellar surface. No matter what kind of creature it is, none can withstand such intense heat, and instantaneously turning into a plasma state is the only outcome.

Even if there are some losses of the constant starlight crossing long distances, with such an aggregation, seventy to eighty percent of the energy is still retained. Moreover, due to total reflection, the slight loss is negligible, and the generated heat is insufficient to offset the extreme cold brought by the cosmic darkness.

The only trouble it brings is light pressure, coupled with the gravitational field interference of the Seventh Planet, forming an effect similar to a stellar sail. A slightest mistake could lead to the total reflection mirror's position deviation.

Therefore, the starlight cannon array not only needs to cautiously stabilize its emission posture but also relies on precise calculations for the magnetic plasma engine of the total reflection mirror to completely receive the high-density energy beams coming from near the orbit of the Second Planet. Otherwise, it is difficult to accurately refract them onto enemy targets.

After being collectively refracted by hundreds of total reflection mirrors, the backside of the Seventh Planet is completely illuminated, as if it were daylight. Looking up at the sky from the ground, the group of suns is shining.

The starlight cannon, which had been engaged in battle from the start, had long proven its destructive effectiveness.

A single starlight cannon might not threaten the biological space mothership, but ten, twenty... when the number of starlight cannons reached one hundred, the protective barrier of the biological space mothership could no longer withstand the ferocious focus fire of the scorching beams.

With 733 total reflection mirrors refracting the high-density energy beams fired by 2400 starlight cannons from different directions and positions at less than a hundred biological space motherships, these behemoths began to be burned into carbon, and the surviving numbers started to decrease slowly.

"65 biological space motherships, we're going to win!"

It's hard to believe that 439 biological space motherships stormed into the star system with overwhelming momentum, continuously intercepting, starlight cannons, impact celestial bodies launched by gravity slingshots, then the super-caliber space railgun and light stealth assault ships, and finally, the combat mothership carrying tactical jets appeared on stage according to plan.

The Sagali civilization's space fleet was constantly consumed, and what finally determined the victory was surprisingly the large thin mirrors that looked harmless and had no combat power.

"Element annihilation bombs consumed 93%, beyond expectations!"

Throughout the war, Chen Fei's face showed not a trace of a smile. The starlight cannon was, in fact, an important substitute weapon for the element annihilation bomb.

The reserve of element annihilation bombs was already insufficient. Initially, the reserve was not intended for the cluster of biological space motherships; using one meant losing one, and it was hard to replenish.

Although the formula and variable database for element annihilation are known and can be manufactured independently, the crystalline blocks and Magical Beast crystal cores are out of stock. Although crystalline blocks can be replaced by "Super Star Crystals," the manufacturing raw materials are equally scarce, with insufficient time to prepare them.

Even though McKenny's "Seed Nest" cultivated a large batch of energy crystal cores as a substitute for crystalline energy reserves, they ultimately cannot replace crystalline blocks. Super star crystals and Magical Beast crystal cores are critical to the element annihilation bomb, and even the energy density is not as good as lower-grade crystalline blocks, compensating for quality with quantity due to the potential large output.

"Only 7% left? How could we use so much?"

Heseman Brown was shocked. The "2-1 Cooperative Ship" cabin had many floating three-dimensional holographic projection monitoring interfaces, and they weren't quite accustomed to Chen Fei's habits. It took some time to notice the element annihilation bomb quantity interface.

"The combat on the backside of the planet consumed too much, and many were lost without even having the chance to detonate!"

Chen Fei glanced at the element annihilation bomb loss rate—17%, a painful percentage.

It means that for every fourteen element annihilation bombs, one was lost due to various accidents without the opportunity to explode successfully. This is the outcome of Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" calculating and remotely controlling the battle as precisely as gears.

So far, the lost element annihilation bombs alone, if detonated in suitable locations, would be enough to wipe out the remaining biological space motherships in one go.

But in a complex and ever-changing battlefield, where is there a possibility that a single bullet can truly eliminate an enemy? The rate of attrition and waste is often alarmingly high. Yes, the term "alarming" is perfectly apt here, with nothing excessive about it.

Once the cannon fires, it's like gold away by the tens of thousands. However, in reality, ninety-nine out of a hundred are misplaced expenditure, and this is the normal circumstance, with routine training and maintenance costs almost negligible.

"Look, those big guys are contracting their formations; are they going to start a meat shield tactic again? No, they're heading into the stellar atmosphere."

An S-Class space ability user suddenly pointed at the fierce battlefield on the backside of the Seventh Planet, showing a noticeable change in the formation of the biological space motherships, as they were closing in on each other.

A few unlucky biological space motherships were pushed outside. The gathered beams couldn't penetrate them within a short time, unable to reach the biological space motherships behind, making the combat efficiency of the starlight cannon and total reflection mirror significantly reduced.

"Are they using the planetary atmosphere to weaken the beam bombardment? That could be one way, but getting in is easy, coming out is difficult!"
