From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

In the dark space.

The semi-elliptical mothership, which is nearly 800 kilometers long and about 550 kilometers wide, is gradually slowing down towards the location of the earth.

At the bottom are disk-shaped city destroyers embedded. When they reach the outer orbit of the earth, they will enter the atmosphere according to the planned plan and descend over major cities.

Can.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-!

But suddenly, four and three straight rays of bright blue light appeared "obliquely above" and "obliquely below" their sailing route, instantly streaking across the deep space of the universe.

Moreover, two of them were extremely fast, giving them no time to adjust and react, and they hit the same point on the front of the mothership.

boom! ! ! !

The emerald green energy shield successfully blocked the continuous penetration of the "light", and then burst out with violent explosions and ripples

Of course, there is no medium to transmit sound in space, so when viewed from a distance, it just feels like a gorgeous silent fireworks show.

Immediately afterwards, five huge balls of blue light plasma hit the front end point again, and the explosion and ripples also rose again.

However, the mothership's energy shield remained strong, showing no signs of breaking or dissipating.

! ! ? ?

However, the sudden attack successfully forced the mothership to change its course and further slowed down its original sailing speed.

It seems that the Reapers in the mothership's main control room have received orders from the Mother Queen and are preparing to deal with the "little flies" who use some kind of concealment technology to launch a sneak attack on them.

After hundreds of years of secret spying, the Reapers concluded that humans on Earth were below the level of first-level civilization and were the best species to kill for fun and to enslave livestock.

Even if human technology advances rapidly during the decades they have been sailing, what kind of threat can it pose to them?

Humanity has not even stepped outside the scope of the solar system. Therefore, the Queen Mother and the three billion Reapers in the ship have never regarded humans as a threat from the beginning to the end.

After adjusting the angle and using ballistics to calculate the general positions of the seven hidden warships, the Reapers in the main control room made a prompt decision and launched a tentative barrage attack.

shhhhhh!

I saw thousands of turrets at the front of the mothership, shooting out dense emerald-green energy cannons.

The momentum is astonishing, and it is a visual feast when viewed from a distance. Unfortunately, this wave of tentative barrage attacks did not achieve any "reward" at all.

?

Could it be that the speed of human ships also cannot be ignored?

This deviated from their expectations and required more precise calculations and scanning.

However, the human ships in hiding, that is, the Atlas fleet operating separately, have arrived in the designated space area from both "up" and "down" directions, and the straight-line distance from the Reaper mothership is less than 30,000 kilometers. .

at this time.

Inside the bridge of the Dawn sailing "below" with one Fidus and another Selune;

"The first main gun salvo was invalid. Repeat, the first main gun salvo was invalid. The fleet failed to penetrate the target's energy shield."

"Captain! It has been detected that the target releases high-frequency pulse waves. If we continue to cooperate with the fleet in firing salvos, our position will be completely exposed!"

The bridge cabin is compact and solid, with a sealed observation window, and a fast-paced report can be heard.

There are eight crew members sitting on both sides of the bridge, including the chief mate, navigation officer, communications officer, and radar operator. They are responsible for navigation, communication, radar monitoring, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the Shuguang.

There is a helmsman and two gunners sitting at the front of the bridge.

As for the overall command and decision-making, the captain named Sean Rice sits in the center of the bridge.

"."

The captain, who had some white hair on his temples and was about fifty years old, had an extremely serious look on his face, and he pinched his chin with his left hand to relieve the pressure.

Through several holographic screens that appear in front of him, Sean Rice can know all the developments at the first time.

Seeing the concise and concise message "In 20 seconds, artillery fire salvo" appeared on the communication screen, he opened his mouth and ordered:

"Continue to cooperate with the fleet in launching salvos of artillery fire! And adjust the ship's sailing angle to approach the space area of ​​35.67.35, keeping a sufficient distance from the Fiddes and Daybreak."

"Yes!"

The helmsman and gunner who received clear instructions immediately started operating the Dawn.

Boom. Boom.

Then, the instantaneous firing sound of the fully charged plasma main gun and the five parallel 460mm plasma secondary guns were transmitted to the bridge through the vibration of the hull.

More than that——

Swish. Swish.

There were also forty missile silos, which fired forty strategic-level hydrogen bombs.

The Atlas fleet's first attack only used seven main guns, using extremely high-temperature, extremely high-energy plasma plasma clusters and 0.12-ton needle-shaped tungsten steel bullets accelerated to 1.4% of the speed of light to test the energy of the mothership. shield.

Finding that the shield could not be broken by just one salvo of main guns, the fleet followed the pre-planned strategy and approached the mothership, and then took out all the high-yield guys to continuously bombard the same point on the shield.

Yes, the energy shield can withstand the first salvo, and this result is also expected by Atlas, but

Everyone firmly believes that there must be a certain limit value. Just like the "fatigue" phenomenon in which metal gradually suffers local permanent damage under the action of circulation, leading to cracks or fractures, the energy shield will also burst.

now.

On the holographic star map in front of Sean Rice, yellow light spots representing salvos of artillery fire appeared, approaching the Reaper mothership marked by a red circle at high speed.

Two needle-shaped tungsten steel bullets and plasma cannons hit the target first.

The second is more than four hundred strategic-level hydrogen bombs propelled by micro-nuclear fusion engines and flying at Mach 65.

At this moment;

"Captain! It was detected that the target was trying to intercept our missiles. Two, thirty-four, and fifty-one missiles failed, and the rest all passed through the air defense fire network!"

Beep——!

As the radar operator reported loudly, the holographic star map also issued a slight warning sound, indicating that there were still more than 300 missiles carrying strategic-level hydrogen bombs that successfully hit the same point on the energy shield.

Ri~咻————! ! ! !

When TNT exploded with a total yield of close to 100 billion tons, the "sun" light shone through the closed observation window, lighting up the relatively dim interior of the bridge.

"."

Seeing this scene, the entire crew fell into silence for a while.

After all, the destructive power caused by the concentrated fire salvo just now marked the first time that humans in the main universe had unanimously set off a "huge wave" to the outside world.

Although the power of hydrogen bombs is weakened in the vacuum universe, the extremely high temperatures, huge energy, radiation effects and electromagnetic pulses they release are still considerable, especially in the case of "face-to-face" explosions.

After the silence, the radar operator returned his attention to the console in front of him, but soon, his original solemn expression instantly turned to excitement, and he turned to look at Sean Rice and said:

"Captain! Second salvo works! Repeat, second salvo works!"
