The monitor's glow and the flickering lights reflected on Captain Bosa's gloomy face.
Just as all the crew members of the Bosa were filled with fear, it suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's return to base..."
Captain Bosa's mouthparts twitched slightly. He weakly waved his two pairs of forelimbs, making a perfect circle before muttering, "Lord, we may lose this war..."
"Sir, sir," a large stick insect said cautiously, "We only failed to destroy their antimatter transport ships, so it's not a complete failure..."
“You don’t understand.” Captain Bosa lowered his forelimbs, listlessly gazing at the antimatter transport ship, now heavily protected by a fleet of drones, as it gradually disappeared into the distance. “We can’t win this war.”
"Why?"
Another large stick insect asked defiantly, "They're just a small level four civilization. The main fleet is about to break through our defenses. What makes them think they can stop us?"
"Why should I?" Captain Bosa suddenly let out an extremely shrill laugh.
"Just because of that planetary fortress!"
"Just look at their attitude toward war!"
"I ask you, after experiencing so many wars, have you ever seen such a crazed race?!" Captain Bosa grabbed the crew member beside him with a twisted expression and shouted.
Yes, crazy.
In its view, the only word to describe human civilization's attitude toward war is madness.
Faced with their superior's question, the crew hesitated for a long time before slowly shaking their heads.
“I’ve never seen a race like this before!” Captain Bosa murmured, his eyes filled with terror. “Everyone of them would choose to self-destruct their warship without hesitation, taking the enemy with them…”
"This is simply impossible!"
"I can't imagine what kind of environment such a civilization and such a race could have grown up in!"
"The Bosa civilization could never defeat such a mad civilization! Even if we are a level five civilization, even if our technology is more advanced than theirs!"
"We..." Captain Bosa sighed again, his previously excited expression turning ashen in an instant. "Forget it, let's turn back."
"We have lost our basic combat capability, it's time to go back."
The crew members looked at each other in silence, then silently steered the battered secondary flagship toward its return voyage.
...
[Antimatter replenishment complete for the Planetary Fortress of Visigoth]
A line of text appeared in the holographic projection, bringing a sense of reassurance to everyone.
Zhao Zijie turned his head and exchanged a glance with Lü Yongchang, then nodded solemnly.
"Attention, all fleet!"
"Planetary fortress energy replenished, fleet to retreat immediately!"
"Repeat: Fleet retreat, clear the third defensive zone!!"
With the order given, the Golden Crow fleet, which had been charging forward fearlessly, finally slowed its advance!
With Zero's assistance, the surviving warships retreated in an orderly manner, gradually withdrawing from the third defensive zone.
Meanwhile, the warships of the Bosa civilization took this opportunity to regroup and slowly sail back towards the Dawn Star region.
...
[Target is within firing range.]
A line of highlighted text flashed in the holographic projection.
"Everyone, what follows is the moment of our decisive battle against the Bosa civilization."
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, and his expression immediately became serious.
He gave the order in an extremely solemn voice:
"Activate the Starship Planet Fortress!"
The words fell.
Several massive antimatter engines installed inside the crust of Vision One began to operate, and endless energy was rapidly transmitted through thick wires to the weapons and equipment set up on the surface of Vision One!
Planetary-class electromagnetic railgun, planetary-class plasma cannon...
All sorts of behemoths started operating simultaneously at that moment.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the giant antimatter cannon that was modified from the satellite particle accelerator!
It occupies the entire equatorial region of Saturn!
Once activated, it will consume 40% of the energy generated by the Lightsaber Antimatter Engine!
The enormous energy consumption also brings enormous benefits.
Unlike the antimatter cannon assembled from battering rams, this giant antimatter cannon can be said to be the pinnacle of human civilization's offensive capabilities.
Not only can it fire continuously, but its attack power is also close to the antimatter torrent created by hundreds of battering rams!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a thick cannon barrel slowly rose, looking directly at the "coming from afar" Bosa fleet!
If you were standing on the surface of Saturn right now, relying on the thin atmosphere around the ground and the sound transmission effect of the solid ground, you could hear a high-frequency humming sound coming from the pipes in the equatorial region!
A large amount of antimatter was fed into this sturdy pipe, and then began to accelerate under the influence of a high-intensity magnetic field!
50% of the speed of light!
80% of the speed of light!
95% of the speed of light!
99.93% of the speed of light!!
The moment the antimatter particles reached the predetermined speed, they were guided by the magnetic field and rushed into the thick cannon barrel!
The gun barrel contains a magnetic field that is no weaker than that of a particle accelerator.
Under the influence of these magnetic fields, the antimatter torrent, reaching 99.93% of the speed of light, shot straight into the sky from near the surface of the moon, like a sharp arrow!
Because the atmosphere of Saturn only extends to a few meters from the surface, the antimatter torrent fired by the antimatter cannon is not affected by the atmosphere.
Accompanied by flashes of high-intensity gamma rays, this torrent of antimatter flew straight toward the target warship!
