Kepler-452 star system.

People's Federation Command Center.

Lu Yongchang's expression changed drastically as he looked at the image in the holographic projection!

Even he hadn't expected the Enrogett Alliance to employ such a reckless tactic.

This is an open conspiracy! A completely open conspiracy!

For human fleets, breaking through the supply points of the defensive line is the optimal choice, without a doubt.

However, if the human fleet tries to attack those two large supply points based on star systems, it will inevitably be surrounded and intercepted by the Enroget fleet.

In this battle situation, due to the continuous firing of the antimatter cannon, an increase in the concentration of antiparticles in the surrounding area is inevitable.

The Enroget Alliance exploited this to deceive human civilization by "placing" a massive amount of antimatter in the designated area.

Because matter is extremely scarce in interstellar space, these antimatter particles can exist for a considerable period of time without external interference.

With this, the trap targeting the human fleet was completely completed.

Surrounded by the Enrogete fleet, and with the fleet arranged in a long, single-file formation, even the warships equipped with the latest warp drive could not complete maneuvering evasion operations in a short time.

And so... just as the Enroget civilization had anticipated, the human fleet plunged headlong into a trap that had already been laid.

At this point, the human fleet had fallen into a complete disadvantage.

Although both human and Enroget warships are protected by composite shields, neither will be annihilated by the dense antimatter surrounding them.

However, this has put humanity in a dilemma—attacking and breaking the enemy ship's shields will trigger a violent annihilation reaction; not attacking will cause the enemy ship to actively deactivate its shields, thus triggering an annihilation reaction.

In a short moment, Lü Yongchang, Zhao Zijie, and the commanders in the command center all completely understood the situation of this battle against the human fleet.

"zero!"

Seeing the enemy ships approaching the fleet on the screen, Lü Yongchang suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted urgently, "Activate all defensive measures at all costs!"

...

One second before the explosion.

Under Lü Yongchang's orders, Zero, whose computing power utilization rate had skyrocketed, took over the entire fleet at lightning speed.

While increasing the power of all warship shields, a large number of adaptive nano-repair robots were sprayed onto the surface of the warships.

The originally transparent porthole turned dark black at that moment—the protective armor outside the porthole immediately came down.

boom!!

The explosion occurred the moment all emergency protective measures were activated!

The immense energy generated by the annihilation immediately tore the outermost swarm of shipborne drones into pieces, which then triggered an even greater annihilation reaction!

The moment the terrifying energy released by Annihilation came into contact with the fleet's combined shield, the previously almost colorless shield instantly lit up!

The combined shield, operating at super power, has fully demonstrated its amazing protective capabilities!

Even when subjected to such a massive annihilation explosion of matter and antimatter right at its face, it still withstood the initial impact!

But the annihilation did not stop.

The subsequent Enrogete warships charged toward the human fleet with incredible ferocity, releasing large amounts of antimatter they carried.

This action continuously increases the intensity of the annihilation reaction on the battlefield.

One second... two seconds...

The shield generation device inside the [Xuanwu] frigate is starting to overheat.

Amidst a series of faint flashes, the combined shield's strength began to decrease rapidly.

As the combined shield was about to dissipate, all the [Xuanwu] frigates activated their warp drives.

To avoid a repeat of the tragedy of the shipborne drone crash, under Zero's control, [Genbu] needs to stay as far away from the expeditionary fleet as possible before the joint shield completely fails.

The combined shield, which had withstood the violent explosion for a long time, finally shattered completely.

Xuanwu was also completely exposed in the "anti-particle soup".

After a prolonged explosion, the concentration of antiparticles in the surrounding area has decreased significantly, but they can still annihilate the unprotected [Black Tortoise].

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The chain reaction started again.

The annihilation reaction, which had just shown signs of dying out, has once again been given ample fuel!

The human expeditionary fleet, stripped of its combined shield, was tossed about by a series of explosions.

The shield generation devices on every warship began operating at super power.

The intense radiation and heat melted the outer armor of the human warships.

However, the continuously sprayed adaptive nano-repair robots are filling the gaps in the outer armor at an extremely high speed.

Melt, repair...

This cycle repeats itself.

In just a few seconds, the warships on the outer perimeter of the fleet unleashed almost all of their stockpiled nanobots.

...

Inside the Titan Mothership.

"Bai Yixuan!"

Zhao Zijie's voice rang out: "...Electromagnetic cannon!"

The piercing alarms and chaotic conversations inside the cabin drowned out his voice.

"What?!" Bai Yixuan, who was firmly strapped to the chair by several seat belts, shouted, "Say it again!"

Under Zero's control, the alarm sound quickly subsided.

The commanders also noticed Bai Yixuan's situation and stopped communicating with the lower-level warships.

"I said, fire the electromagnetic railgun!!!"

Zhao Zijie's voice was exceptionally loud and firm: "Fire out all those shells that aren't filled with antimatter!"

"This..." Bai Yixuan was suddenly stunned.

Is this because the explosions outside aren't intense enough, and the fleet's condition isn't bad enough?!

But the next second, seeing the gradually decreasing concentration of antiparticles, he instantly understood the meaning behind Zhao Zijie's words.

The combined shield has been destroyed, and the surrounding antiparticles will eventually drift towards the fleet.

If the warships' shields are damaged again, the expeditionary fleet will be the ones to suffer.

Since that's the case, why not take the initiative?

Fight poison with poison!

Electromagnetic projectiles can directly consume antiparticles dispersed in interstellar space, and can also cause some damage to enemy warships!

Without any hesitation, he pressed the communication button and broadcast the message to the entire fleet.

"The entire ship!"

"Electromagnetic guns firing in unison!"

Ammunition selection: Basic projectiles!

...

The order has been issued.

Although many people in the fleet did not understand the order, the military order had been issued and all they had to do was obey!

On the sides of the warships, the long cannons all turned around and pointed directly at the outer perimeter of the fleet.

Fire a salvo from the artillery!

The human fleet unleashed an indiscriminate metal storm in all directions!
