Chapter 199 Main Guns on the Ground
The order was given.
Relying on its own powerful performance, the [Varilla] quickly increased its flight speed and left the dense black tide behind.
Looking at the shield output power that suddenly soared and then gradually returned to a steady state, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is too outrageous..."
Gao Yuan's muttering voice came from the left: "I remember that the Grand Unified Field should be a technology that only a fifth-level civilization can master, right?"
"These nanoworms have only taken such a short time to evolve this level of technology. If we give them a little more time, wouldn't we..."
"It's not that simple."
Without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, Yi directly denied Gao Yuan's words: "The technological difficulty of different civilization levels increases non-linearly."
"The technological gap between level five and level six civilizations is even greater than the gap between level five and level one civilization."
"In the absence of breakthroughs in basic material technology, it is already difficult for these nanoworms to evolve into higher-level technology."
"In theory, relying solely on the materials on a conventional rocky planet, these nanoworms can basically only point out technology within the scope of a third-level civilization."
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly: "Don't forget, there are still relics of the Roca civilization on this planet."
Yi's voice paused slightly: "This is indeed a huge variable."
"Of course, this is also the biggest reason why the other party can create a simple grand unified force field shield in such a short time."
Yi pondered for a moment: "From the very beginning, the sensors of the [Varilla] detected slight changes in the anti-gravity field on these nanoworms, which means that the other party has mastered anti-gravity technology from the very beginning."
"And the so-called anti-gravity technology is actually an application form of the grand unified force field."
Hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly realized: "So, the other party took a shortcut?"
"In theory, this is the case." Yi gave a cautious speculation, "Considering the existence of the Roca ruins, given enough time for these black tides, some of the nanoworms may be able to evolve into level six technology."
"But one thing needs to be noted, as the level of nanoworms increases, the computing power required to manipulate them will also increase. This is not difficult to understand. The amount of computing required to throw a stone and launch a missile must be a world of difference."
"Combined with past data, this machine does not believe that [Source] has such a huge computing power."
Chen Fan nodded silently, reaching out to the main console to call up the scene behind the starship.
As Yi said, when the black tide grew back to its original size, these nanoworms stopped their blind expansion.
They soared into the air and chased after the Varela relentlessly.
...
The equatorial region of Varela.
At some point, the sky change ended quietly.
The sun's rays appeared again in the dark sky, but compared to before, the sunlight was obviously pale and weak.
The starship flew very fast, and it took only a few minutes to reach the ring-shaped mechanical mountain range surrounded by countless cities like a moon surrounded by stars.
Under the pale sunlight, the surface of the ring-shaped mechanical mountain range reflected a faint bright silver light.
This time, Chen Fan finally saw the true face of this ring-shaped mechanical mountain range - it was a mountain range built by various automated machines!
Just like the intelligent machine production base next to the Hai'an Mine, this mechanical mountain range also continuously outputs various types of intelligent machines. Not only that, there are also a large number of gun muzzles and missile silos on the mountain range.
This is the home of the intelligent machines! ! !
At the moment when Chen Fan saw the truth of the ring-shaped mechanical mountain range, along with the flames rising into the sky, the shipboard main brain also issued a warning message in front of Chen Fan.
It seemed that there was no end to the metal storm and missiles equipped with nuclear warheads shot out from the mechanical mountain range, launching a saturation attack on the [Varilla] which was lowering its altitude.
At the same time, behind the [Varilla], the black tide also came late, and after replenishing the consumption of the long journey, they also joined the battlefield!
It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, the [Varilla] almost faced the artillery attack of an entire civilization!
Before Chen Fan gave the order, the shipboard main engine had automatically responded.
The shield output power began to increase steadily, and several layers of shields with different effects were quickly nested around the starship!
Of course, standing there and taking a beating is definitely not Chen Fan's style.
Damn it, playing with firepower coverage here, right?
Do you understand the value of "main gun to ground, military court"! !
Looking at the warning information in the holographic projection, he calmly issued an order: "One, lift the ground restriction of the ship's main gun."
As he said that, he manually adjusted the direction of the starship and aimed the muzzle of the ship's main gun on the back of the [Varilla] at the giant mechanical mountain below.
"Warning!"
The bright red warning light lit up in the starship cockpit, and the rigid electronic synthesized voice of the ship's main engine came: "This operation violates the safety protocol restrictions. Please confirm as soon as possible..."
"The risk assessment has been completed, and it has been confirmed that there are no friendly forces within the strike range."
One cut off the alarm of the ship's main engine: "The safety protocol has been successfully lifted."
Looking at the oncoming metal storm and the nuclear bomb that had just been launched, Chen Fan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he gave the order with a thought.
[Shipborne main gun, ammunition selected antimatter, output power 5%, fire! ]
...
A slender light blue guide beam shot out from the huge gun muzzle on the back of the [Varilla], shining directly on the ring-shaped mechanical mountain range that was thousands of meters high.
The next second.
A dark blue light ball with a diameter of more than ten meters gushed out from the gun muzzle and shot towards the ring-shaped mechanical mountain range along the light blue guide beam!
When the light ball fell on the ring-shaped mountain range, the whole world was quiet!
Dazzling light rose from the ground, reflecting everything around in a pale white!
If observed from space, at this moment, a light ball that was more dazzling than the sun was slowly rising on the ground of Varilla!
Boom!!!
The towering ring-shaped mechanical mountain range fell apart in the light and disappeared from the planet at a speed visible to the naked eye!
As for the electromagnetic guns and nuclear bombs fired by the other side...
they were turned into ashes by the aftermath of the antimatter main gun attack before they even had time to hit the ship-borne shield of the [Varilla].
The attack of the antimatter cannon came quickly and went away quickly.
In just a few seconds, the light slowly dissipated, and the huge circular mechanical mountain on the ground had completely disappeared, leaving only a hemispherical deep pit that was a hundred meters deep underground.
It is not difficult to imagine.
In time, when the rain gathers, an extremely vast inland sea will appear in the equatorial region of Varela!
The giant pyramid with a smooth surface and made of strong interaction force materials still stands intact in the center of the deep pit. The shocking explosion caused by the annihilation of positive and antimatter just now did not cause any impact on it.
Through the porthole, Chen Fan looked at the shock wave that spread out in all directions and quickly crushed the surrounding intelligent machine tide, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Is there any problem that the ship-borne main gun can't solve?
If one shot doesn't work, then another shot!
If he hadn't been worried about accidentally injuring individuals of the Varela civilization, he would have wanted to do this a long time ago.
Having said that, he still had to thank [Source] for turning the equatorial region into a gathering place for intelligent machines. If there were any traces of the activities of the rebels here, the safety agreement of the ship-borne main guns would not be so easy to lift.
The only pity was that the nanoworms that mastered the grand unified force field shield did not suffer much damage.
But the problem was not big. They could completely withstand the attack of the black tide and conduct a corresponding investigation of the ruins of the Roca civilization.
He stood up from the driver's seat, stretched his muscles, and then issued a landing order to the ship-borne main brain that had remained silent.
...
More than ten seconds later.
The earthy yellow [Varilla] quietly hovered above the pyramid-shaped Roca ruins, and the light golden shield quickly unfolded, wrapping the entire Roca ruins inside it.
Dozens of detection drones came out of the hatches on the belly of the starship. They circled around the pyramid and then drilled into the gate of the Roca ruins one by one.
The holographic projection in the cockpit quickly emerged with the shooting pictures from the detection drones.
The gate of the ruins is quite large, with a height of more than 20 meters and a width of 10 meters.
This is consistent with the tall stature of the Roca people - in the records left in the prosperous era, the height of the Roca people generally exceeded 10 meters.
After passing through a deep corridor, the detection drone successfully entered the inner space of the pyramid.
Although there is no precise measurement data, Chen Fan noticed the abnormality of this space at a glance: its volume obviously exceeded the actual volume of the pyramid.
"Inner space extension technology."
An electronic synthesized voice came from the side, explaining to Chen Fan the reason behind this strange phenomenon: "This technology can greatly expand the space inside the starship. Usually only civilizations above level 7 can skillfully use this space technology."
"This machine's previous assessment of the Roca civilization was wrong. Judging from the scale of the inner space of this ruin, the other party may have touched the threshold of the eighth-level civilization."
Chen Fan was shocked, and his expression on his face became much more solemn.
Eighth-level civilization!
Even in the Human Union, such a civilization can be called a hegemon!
A long staircase stood in the air, extending directly to the top of the pyramid.
Around the stairs, there are small pyramids that are only more than ten meters high.
This is the application of the anti-gravity force field. In this relic, the anti-gravity force field based on the grand unified theory has become a standard technology that can be seen everywhere.
Except for the few pyramids at the bottom that have been damaged to a large extent, the rest of the pyramids have maintained their complete shape.
The white scanning beam swept across these small pyramids, and the scanning results appeared in front of Chen Fan.
"This is..."
Looking at the scanned image in front of him, Chen Fan was stunned.
"Coffin?!"
