Chapter 182: Loulian's Speculations, the AAA Cannon

The geometric array is not a purely offensive weapon; the attack comes more from the light.

Light is also an attack.

Light is a terrifying radiation for living beings and a deadly threat to electronic equipment. The light of the geometric array has reached the level of gamma rays.

According to the photo-thermal effect, the core temperature of these lights has already exceeded 100 trillion degrees Celsius.

However, this only lasts for a very short time.

The outstanding feature of the geometric array is its wide range and unpredictability.

Of course, its most important core is still geometry.

The geometry of the geometric array is not designed to enhance attacks but to conserve energy, achieving the strongest effect with the least energy. The Light Wing race is highly specialized in this regard.

Loulian constantly monitored the enemy signals detected by the anchor probe.

The analysis from the host also came out.

"Enemy losses: 292 warships, 12,547 remaining."

The battle results were much lower than expected, and Loulian ordered various think tanks to analyze why there was a deviation from the expected outcome.

A few days later, an image was transmitted. The image contained many visible light bands, and in one of the bands, Loulian saw countless fine lines connecting all the warships of the Silk Civilization, densely packed and numbering in the hundreds of millions.

"Invisible silk..."

According to the received intelligence, this thing exists.

Why is the Silk Civilization called the Silk Civilization?

Since very early on, many scholars of civilization within the Federation have been analyzing this, and the conclusions are bizarre. It wasn't until the C Plan discovered the existence of 'silk' in the Silk Civilization's warships that the truth was revealed.

However, no one knows what these silks are used for; they only know that they truly exist and are not a product of speculation.

"These silks play a crucial role."

A newly processed video was transmitted to Loulian's secondary brain.

The video observed the entire war, and he discovered that these silks were never broken, not even by the geometric array.

"Wait, the destroyed warships are also connected by silk."

Through the analysis of his secondary brain, Loulian made a new discovery. Among the hundreds of millions of silks, he found that the destroyed Silk Civilization warships also extended silk threads to connect with other warships.

"These silks should not come from conventional energy devices."

If they relied on energy, the silk threads should have been cut off long ago.

"It's also possible that these destroyed warships are passively connected by silk. The silk has a starting point, and from that point, it is emitted to other warships, which then have a cascading effect, connecting to even more warships."

This is a discovery. If the source of the silk threads can be found, it may be possible to disrupt the silk and significantly weaken the Silk Civilization's combat power.

"Initiate analysis. Can we analyze which warship is the core of the Silk Civilization's fleet?"

Loulian was very serious. For the Reincarnators, every mission is a life-or-death situation, and he has completed over 20,000 missions.

Of course, the rewards for completing missions are also very generous.

The host took 21 hours to analyze and identified 11 warships in protective positions.

"These warships might be fake."

"The base of the Silk Civilization's warships is the same. I speculate that their core warships can also be modified, with different warships serving as the source of the silk."

"But this means finding the core warship is useless."

"No!"

Loulian, relying on his keen sense of combat, realized that there was a problem.

"If the core warship and the other warships only differ in appearance and are identical internally, then to maintain the silk, it must have more energy reserves, reducing its offensive capabilities."

"That's right, analyze it from this point."

"The Zerg should be close to making contact with the Silk Civilization's warships. This is a good opportunity."

Just as Loulian finished speaking, a light flashed, blinding the observation equipment of the Tianlian Number. The last moment recorded by the observation equipment showed a huge halo appearing in the starry sky.

The halo expanded like a human pupil, with darkness at its center and a vast amount of matter scattering around it. Some of the matter was pulled outward, while some was pulled inward. At first glance, it was incredibly beautiful, like a work of art.

But if you understand it, you know that the source of that matter is the corpses of the Zerg.

"Pan, using the gravitational difference between the center point and the outer ring, it directly tears apart objects inside. This attack method is ineffective against warships but is a powerful weapon against the Zerg. It's a weapon specifically developed by the Silk Civilization in the last few years to target the Zerg."

The gravity required to tear apart a warship is terrifying, and the Silk Civilization must have a lot of energy reserves.

But the Zerg are much more fragile and can be destroyed with very little energy. The previous flash of light was emitted by the Silk Civilization, which created a black hole in Pan's center as a gravitational source.

"No need to retreat. Let one part of the Zerg collect the corpses, and the other part continue to charge."

The number of Zerg produced by 1 million Zerg Nests exceeded 100 billion. These Zerg were not controlled by the Cerebrate but received commands as soon as they were born, rushing towards the enemy like moths to a flame.

At this time, the Silk Civilization's warships had reached the edge of the star system and were about to enter.

A large number of biological warships had already engaged in battle, with over 100,000 light weapons firing back and forth every second.

Within just one day, Loulian received a battle report. The biological warships had lost more than 7,000 ships, accounting for one-third of the total, while the enemy's losses were within 1,400.

The production cost of the biological warships was low, so the losses were not a concern. However, the loss of combat power would put the Federation at a disadvantage.

"Activate the AAA Cannon!"

"Have the biological warships take evasive action and simultaneously activate five Super Star Nests."

The Super Star Nests are standard equipment for the giant ship fleet, with each fleet equipped with ten.

These Super Star Nests were even more massive than usual, with diameters generally exceeding 10,000 kilometers. The Zerg units produced by the Cerebrate inside were stronger, and all were at the top of the genetic sequence.

The massive Super Star Nests, which made even the Tianlian Number seem small, began to move, and countless Zerg units with body sizes exceeding 1,000 meters flew out of the nests. Their mechanical flight speed was gradually accelerated to over 20,000 km/s.

After about four days, the AAA Cannon was in position.

"Activate!"

As Loulian shouted, the AAA Cannon, covering the stellar surface, absorbed the star's energy. Visible matter on the stellar surface was sucked into the giant device.

There were as many as 1,000 of these devices, each like a pipette pointing towards the Silk Civilization's warships.

Attack!

The AAA Cannon, also known as the Super-Speed Stellar Energy Array Cannon, is deployed on the stellar surface, absorbing stellar energy and then firing massive amounts of energy beams at super-fast speeds.

Each cannon can fire 7 to 10 energy beams per second, and these energies are dense and terrifying, each capable of annihilating a dwarf planet.

1,000 AAA Cannons can increase the stellar energy consumption rate by more than 10,000 times. If they were to continuously fire at this red dwarf star for millions of years, its lifespan would be reduced from several hundred billion years to less than a million years.

Of course, continuous firing for millions of years is required.

Each shot of these AAA Cannons is equivalent to the energy produced by a Level 2 Civilization in one month.

This is one of the powerful weapons of the Civilization Federation.
