Chapter 185: Material Disintegration Cannon
"Is this... the end?"
Hong Chengdong, who was in the war room inside the Wall of Sighs, crouched down and looked out of the Wall of Sighs through the narrow shooting port.
The pale golden barrier that originally enveloped the city of Varela slowly dissipated into the air, and a huge, almost endless, arc-shaped pit appeared clearly in front of him.
A layer of silvery-white dust-like material was evenly distributed in the pit, making the huge pit appear smoother and rounder.
Due to the limitation of vision, he could only see the arc to the west of the Wall of Sighs, but this did not prevent him from imagining the full picture of Varela at this time.
Hong Chengdong made a simple estimate and found that the radius of the pit in front of him was at least more than two kilometers.
In other words, Varela was standing in the center of a huge deep pit with a diameter of more than four kilometers!
The border between Varela and the pit was very smooth, and at the end of his sight, he could still see lush forests.
Those forests were not affected at all, and even the leaves on the trees did not fluctuate at all!
This further aggravated the shock in Hong Chengdong's heart!
He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with horror.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
He murmured in a low voice.
No one could respond to his question.
Beside him, Jiang Haichuan let go of the heavy machine gun in his hand with a look of horror on his face, and after a long silence, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over..."
The warm sunlight passed through the narrow shooting port and sprinkled on the faces of Jiang Haichuan and Hong Chengdong.
It was not until then that Hong Chengdong realized one thing belatedly:
after completing that earth-shaking attack, the warship that was originally hovering above the Wall of Sighs had quietly left!
His eyes moved, and he quickly ran out of the narrow and cramped operations room of the Wall of Sighs, and then followed the wooden ladder to the ground of Varela City.
Hong Chengdong looked up and looked at the sky that suddenly opened up.
The strange warship of shit yellow...khaki color turned flexibly and sped towards the southwest of Varela City.
The sun shone on the side of the khaki ship, and a shining concentric circle symbol composed of nine balls of different sizes flashed before Hong Chengdong's eyes.
In a few blinks of an eye, this warship, which was larger than the Wall of Sighs, became a small khaki dot.
Leaving now?
Looking at the figure of the warship going away, Hong Chengdong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The next second, a loud prayer sounded from behind, pulling his attention back.
"Lord, thank you for your generous help..."
Hong Chengdong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The guards in bright silver armor knelt on the dusty ground at some point. They took off their metal visors, bent down and bowed to the direction of the warship going away, and whispered words like goddess and Lord.
Obviously, these guards thought Chen Fan's warship was a helping hand from the goddess!
Hong Chengdong, who had a certain understanding of Varela City, knew that the goddess the guards were talking about was actually the mastermind behind the tide of intelligent machines, that is, the rebellious artificial intelligence [Source]!
Behind the guards, a Kukan survivor was carrying a stretcher to transport the wounded - even with the protection of the Wall of Sighs, some bullets and explosive debris that penetrated from the shooting port still caused considerable damage to the survivors.
In this case, these guards actually worshiped the culprit!
Hong Chengdong clenched his back teeth hard.
After a brief hesitation, his face sank and he made a decision in his heart.
Fuck peaceful coexistence!
He picked up an old-fashioned rifle from the side and walked towards the guards who were kneeling to worship the gods.
Under the gaze of the guards, he pointed the muzzle of the gun to the sky and pulled the trigger directly.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire rang out near the Wall of Sighs, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, stand up! Don't bow!"
Hong Chengdong clenched his left fist tightly, veins popped out on his arm, and he raised an old-fashioned rifle in his right hand, and let out a hoarse roar.
...
A few minutes ago, inside the starship.
Looking at the tide of intelligent machines that almost submerged the entire city of Varela, Chen Fan's expression became solemn.
For this starship, it is not difficult to destroy the tide of intelligent machines below.
Although it is not a war-type starship, the Investigator Starship is, after all, a public service ship produced by the Human Union, and its weapons are relatively advanced.
But...
the choice of weapons has become a big problem.
Conventional weapons are definitely not suitable for the current situation-whether it is an antimatter cannon or other high-powered artillery, when destroying the intelligent machine tide, it will have a certain impact on the city of Varela.
At the least, it will create a small earthquake, and at the worst, the city of Varela will be wiped out.
So, after considering for a moment, Chen Fan made a decision:
the matter splitting cannon.
This weapon that directly acts on the interaction between molecules and atoms can directly split macroscopic matter into basic particles.
At the same time, the Grand Unified Field can well protect the entire city of Varela from any impact.
When the bright beam of the fission cannon gradually dissipated, Chen Fan looked through the porthole at the huge pit on the ground covered with a layer of silver-white metal film, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh my god..."
"Isn't this too powerful?"
"The matter disintegration cannon is a standard anti-ship weapon." One's electronic synthesized voice sounded in his ears, "Under normal circumstances, the matter disintegration cannon is too powerful. In order to ensure the safety of the ecological environment and surface life, the Human Union prohibits it from being released directly at the surface of a planet with life."
"Violation?" Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently at Yi's words, "Have I done enough illegal operations?"
"Besides..."
Chen Fan's face showed a faint smile: "No one was injured, right?"
Let alone the fact that his target was the intelligent machines and artificial intelligence, just saying that the purpose of his attack was to protect the residents of Varela City, Chen Fan did not think that the management would define his behavior as illegal operation.
In this regard, he is very experienced!
Just as Chen Fan was happily giving the landing order to the starship's main brain, Yi's electronic synthesized voice sounded again: "This machine has found members of the resistance army in the edge area of the fission cannon attack."
Yi paused for a moment, and then emphasized:
"... Currently alive."
The holographic projection screen on the main console changed instantly, and several small figures wearing resistance army uniforms stood beside the silver-white pit, and at this time they were carefully sticking their heads out to look into the pit.
"Fuck!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Fan suddenly felt bad.
In this ghost place, you can still see the figures of the resistance army!
A few members of the resistance army are randomly refreshed around the intelligent machines, right? !
"Yi, did you accidentally hurt those rebels?" Chen Fan asked hurriedly.
This is different from the intelligent machines. According to the judgment standards of the Human Union, these rebels are the orthodox inheritors of civilization.
If they were really hurt by mistake...
let alone other punishments, at least his bonus and mission reward would definitely be gone.
"The current data is insufficient and it is impossible to judge."
Yi gave a rather rigid answer. At the same time, the reminder of the starship main brain also echoed in the cockpit: [The landing guidance program is being executed, please wait...]
"This fucking thing is still landing!"
At this moment, Chen Fan finally experienced the intelligence level of the starship main brain.
He gave an order to Yi in a hurry: "Quick! Go find those rebels!"
So...
the slowly descending starship suddenly stopped, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the southwest of Varela City!
...
Southwest of Varela City, the edge of the deep pit.
"How is it?"
Xu Hongming took a deep breath, took a few steps towards the huge pit in front of him, and asked Lin Hui who was next to the pit: "What are those silvery-white things?"
Under Xu Hongming's gaze, Lin Hui stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed a handful of silvery-white powder with a little heat from the pit.
"...Not quite sure."
After a careful inspection, Lin Hui shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "It's a bit like nano-scale metal powder."
"So..." Lin Hui frowned and expressed his guess, "The light beam emitted by that spaceship directly turned all the intelligent machines into this powder?"
"This... Commander Xu, have you heard of this technology?"
Xu Hongming shook his head repeatedly: "No."
He thought for a moment, and added: "Don't talk about now, even the Prosperous Era didn't have such means."
"But..."
Xu Hongming said in a faint voice: "I remember that there didn't seem to be spaceships of this scale in the Prosperous Era?"
Lin Hui nodded in agreement: "Let alone spaceships, in the history recorded by the Resistance Headquarters, the Prosperous Era didn't even leave this planet."
"Could it be a spaceship of the Roca civilization?"
His face was stern, and he expressed his guess.
"No matter what, this spaceship and the intelligent machine are definitely not in the same group." Xu Hongming sighed deeply and looked up at the city standing in the middle of the pit. "If we can get in touch with this spaceship, then the resistance may be able to..."
Xu Hongming's voice stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
"What?" Lin Hui got up from the ground, sprinkled the silver-white dust in his hand to the side, and looked at Xu Hongming who was standing there in a daze with a blank face, "Commander Xu?"
Under Lin Hui's gaze, Xu Hongming swallowed hard: "Xiao Lin..."
"Look, is that spaceship flying towards us?"
Lin Hui suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
The yellow spaceship, which was originally the size of a grain of rice, has now become as thick as a finger.
In another blink of an eye, Lin Hui can even see the general outline of the spaceship!
Lin Hui's voice was trembling: "Okay, it seems to be flying towards us..."
Before he finished speaking, the yellow starship several kilometers away had already hovered above their heads.
Under their gaze, the starship, which had a huge eight-ring concentric circle logo engraved on its side and had a somewhat strange shape, began to slowly lower its altitude.
