In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
Bosa flagship.
The command room was filled with the piercing sound of alarms, and a group of large stick insects were issuing orders with tense expressions.
"Commander, our secondary flagship has been locked onto by an enemy planetary fortress!"
"Attack launched!"
"Initial assessment indicates it is an antimatter cannon. Contact countdown: 60 seconds!"
Commander Bosa's eyes flashed with a complex expression, a mixture of worry, panic, and a hint of doubt.
Planetary fortresses are symbols of power in interstellar civilizations.
Regardless of the level of civilization it was built from, it is the most powerful weapon among civilizations of that level!
The reason is quite simple.
Transforming a massive planet or satellite into a giant weapon with real combat capabilities would require an enormous amount of resources!
Without a doubt, this is a symbol of civilized power!
The Bosa civilization, backed by the Lord, possesses a wealth of advanced technology, yet to this day, it still lacks its own planetary fortress.
Not only the Bosa civilization, but almost all subordinate civilizations lacked their own planetary fortresses!
The power of the planetary fortress is thus evident.
Unless... this planetary fortress in front of us is just a pretty facade, all show and no substance.
Such things are not uncommon in the universe.
Among the affiliated civilizations that Commander Bosa knew of, quite a few were trying to build such a showpiece, and several had already built such a pseudo-planetary fortress.
Although the input and output are disproportionate, and it may even be a losing proposition, it can still fool people!
In the midst of interstellar warfare, constructing a planetary fortress with a diameter of thousands of kilometers is a silent deterrent to any hostile civilization!
Under normal circumstances, no civilization would be so foolish as to use its own warships to test the power of a planetary fortress.
That's why Commander Bosa's eyes held a hint of suspicion.
Which type of planetary fortress is this?
Is it a real weapon with actual combat capabilities, or just a pretty but useless showpiece?
Even after the planetary fortress of human civilization launched an antimatter cannon attack, the suspicion in Commander Bosa's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
That's normal. To intimidate people, these pseudo-planetary fortresses are usually equipped with the most powerful weapons in civilization.
But whether this weapon is mature or not is hard to say.
Basically, like the pseudo-planet fortresses, they are all showy but useless facades.
But what should we do now?
Faced with this antimatter cannon whose power is still unknown, what should they do?
At the critical moment, this question flashed through Commander Bossa's mind.
hide?
No, how can Bosa's fleet possibly dodge in a mere sixty seconds?
Even with an antimatter engine, it would take a considerable amount of time for a large warship to change course; sixty seconds is definitely not enough.
anti!
We have no choice but to tough it out!
"Composite shield operating at full power!"
After figuring out the key point, Commander Bosa gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Open up all the antimatter cannons and fire at their planetary fortress!"
As soon as it spoke, it hesitated for a moment and added again.
"Have all the surrounding large warships activate their composite shields at full power and block this antimatter cannon!"
...
Within Bosa's fleet.
As Commander Bosa gave the order, the antimatter engine dimmed slightly, but the intensity of the gamma rays it released increased considerably.
This indicates that the energy generated by the antimatter engine has been diverted elsewhere.
The increasingly noticeable gravitational lensing effect around the warship makes it easy to see where this energy goes—the composite shield generation device.
Countdown reset.
An antimatter torrent from the planetary fortress of Apollo blasted straight into the front of a secondary flagship.
A blinding light burst forth from the secondary flagship's composite shield!
Within seconds, countless alarms blared in the command center of this secondary flagship.
As warning lights lit up one after another, the composite shield production unit successively fell into overload and shutdown.
Pop!
Like a giant soap bubble bursting, the shimmering composite shield vanished into the universe.
Boom!!
The antimatter torrent, now slightly weakened, struck the outer armor of the secondary flagship.
The explosion then erupted in flames.
Perhaps because it stored more antimatter inside, its explosive force far exceeded that of the [Golden Crow] battleship!
It even directly illuminated the area around Dawn Star!
The torrent of antimatter slowly dissipated.
Completely crushing everything in its path!
The planetary fortress made a great contribution in its first all-out attack!
One shell can destroy a secondary flagship!
This feat greatly encouraged the human fleet that was withdrawing to the vicinity of Dawn Star!
...
Inside the flagship of Bosa, there was a deathly silence.
Commander Bosa's two pairs of forelimbs trembled slightly.
At this moment, all the doubt in its eyes had vanished.
Screw the fake planetary fortress!
What kind of pseudo-planetary fortress could blast away their secondary flagship with a single shot?!
"Commander, the antimatter cannon has been successfully fired!"
A large stick insect reported the information to it in a faint voice.
Commander Bosa did not speak, but his body trembled slightly as he looked at the screen in front of him.
It hoped that these antimatter cannons could cause some damage to the massive planetary fortress.
A few seconds later.
The faint hope in its eyes slowly dissipated.
Their antimatter cannons were blocked by the swarm of drones.
"Commander, the enemy planetary fortress has fired its antimatter cannon again!"
As he watched the explosions and flashes of light rising and falling in the dark universe, a look of understanding gradually appeared in Commander Bosa's eyes.
He suddenly realized what he had to do.
Human civilization has only one planetary fortress and only one antimatter cannon.
In accordance with the Lord's command and plan, it is now the turn of the Bosa civilization!
It slowly raised its two pairs of forelimbs, drew a perfectly round circle in front of it, and then sang in a high-pitched, obscure tone.
"Lord!"
"The Bosa civilization will show you its loyalty!"
As soon as it finished speaking, its eyes flashed with sharp light, and its mouthparts and blowholes moved rapidly: "The Bosa Fleet!"
"For the glory of the Lord!"
"Charge!"
