The Earth command center fell silent instantly.

The whispers vanished instantly, turning to dust and disappearing into the air, as if struck by the [Matter Disintegration Cannon].

But this silence didn't last long.

A few seconds later, the command center erupted in chaos!

The laboratory was filled with discussions that were many times louder than before.

In the holographic projection, the massive warship, which was five thousand meters long, collapsed at an extremely fast speed under the illumination of the ghastly green beam of light.

With the final burst of light from the explosion, these dense "particle mists" drifted away at extremely high speeds.

Illuminated by the firelight and the ghastly green beams of light, a bizarre yet grand scene was created.

This scene deeply shocked everyone present, including Lü Yongchang and Zhao Zijie, who were sitting in the command position!

Of course, this also includes Academician Yevgeny, who was sitting not far away.

His large Adam's apple trembled slightly as he swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva with great difficulty.

Things have changed.

Times have changed.

As Yevgeny gazed at the slowly spreading miniature nebula, this thought flashed through his mind.

The [Matter Disintegration Cannon] in the holographic projection is just a prototype, and it can't even be considered a true first-generation product.

This means that future [Matter Disintegration Cannons] will be smaller in size and more powerful!

Perhaps one day, those shipborne drones equipped with gravity shield jamming devices will also be able to emit this terrifying, ghastly green beam of light!

At that point, will kinetic weapons still be necessary?

Currently, no kinetic energy weapon can achieve such power.

Even the latest shipborne antimatter cannons.

Even with its gravity shield broken, it cannot finish the battle in one go.

On the one hand, enemy ships can quickly evade.

On the other hand, enemy ships can also release "material barriers" in advance to consume the antimatter contained in the antimatter cannons ahead of time.

But the matter disintegration cannon is different.

The advantages of the [Matter Disintegration Cannon] have been fully demonstrated to him during the chase.

Once the gravity shield is breached, it is virtually undefendable.

Add to that its ridiculously exaggerated attack power...

He instinctively held his breath.

Ten seconds later, the feeling of suffocation from lack of oxygen swept over his brain, but his mind became exceptionally clear.

He seems to be...

Have you found a bit of inspiration?

"...Yevgeny, Yevgeny?"

The voice calling from beside him woke him from his reverie.

Yevgeny sighed deeply and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Wilson was looking at him with a smile.

"how?"

"Can your prized antimatter cannon achieve this level?"

Wilson's tone was full of provocation.

This has almost become a traditional skill for the two of them.

Almost everyone in the entire Academy of Sciences knew about the "grudge" between Wilson and Yevgeny.

That's why, the moment Wilson finished speaking, the researchers in the command center all turned around and looked at them with excitement.

Eating melons is an instinct that humans can never escape.

"...Professor, should we stop them?"

As Zhao Zijie spoke, he turned his head to look at Lü Yongchang beside him.

With just one glance, the expression on his face froze on the spot.

"..."

He took a deep breath and looked at Lü Yongchang with an extremely strange expression: "Professor, this melon seed of yours..."

"Want some?" Lu Yongchang stared intently at Yevgeny and Wilson in the distance, handed the bag of sunflower seeds to Zhao Zijie, and then added, "Creamy flavor, fresh out of the oven."

Zhao Zijie remained silent for a while.

Then……

Silently, he reached into the bag, pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds, and turned around to start eating them.

"Crack..."

As he savored the aroma of the sunflower seeds, Zhao Zijie suddenly realized something.

What on earth is he doing?!

"How long do you think this argument will last?" Lu Yongchang's enthusiastic voice came from behind, accompanied by the soft, crisp sound of cracking sunflower seeds. "I bet ten minutes!"

Zhao Zijie: "..."

"Ten, ten minutes might be too long... I'll bet five minutes."

...

Yevgeny had assumed that Wilson would be very angry after hearing his words.

But the reality is not so.

He continued to "pursue" the faint inspiration in his mind, while a slight smile appeared on his lips as he gave Wilson a faint smile.

"Very impressive."

He made no attempt to praise his opponent and stood up from his seat.

Meeting Wilson's bewildered gaze and the ghostly expressions of the surrounding researchers, he reached out and shook Wilson's right hand: "Congratulations, Academician Wilson."

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he strode out of the command center.

Wilson stared blankly at Yevgeny's retreating figure, then raised his right hand to examine it closely.

"this……"

"Is he really Yevgeny?"

Wilson asked Joseph beside him in a low voice.

Joseph's face showed the same confusion.

"Or, perhaps?" Joseph nodded hesitantly. "He... he was too traumatized?"

The soft cracking sound of sunflower seeds had stopped at some point.

"hiss……"
