"What did you say! Protoss? Protoss ships?" Wang Zhenguo's eyes widened, his mind filled with disbelief, shock, and horror.
"Isn't the Land of Redemption an independent entity? Why are ships from there appearing on Earth?" Zhao Ganwu's eyes revealed deep disbelief.
An Ruoyun looked up at the massive Purifier, her face filled with utter astonishment. "This is absolutely terrifying! Things from the Land of Redemption, aside from the Lords, can actually appear on Earth!"
"This means that the Land of Redemption and Earth are in the same universe..." Bai Mengyu looked up at the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
"Is it that exciting? My brain is about to explode!" Zhao Xiangtian's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
The Purifier hovered high in the sky, its golden hull covered with slender tentacles that emitted faint purple light.
These tentacles are quite fine, resembling blood vessels, making the Purifier seem like a living thing.
Without exception, everyone in the capital city raised their heads and gazed at the enormous Protoss mothership.
Each person's expression was incredibly complex and varied, ranging from fear and excitement to trepidation and apprehension.
"A disc-shaped spaceship, aliens have arrived! I've made it big! In my lifetime, I've actually witnessed an alien arrival!"
"A massive ship a hundred meters long, that's terrifying!"
"The metal hull of this spaceship is covered with purple veins; it's absolutely terrifying!"
"Aliens have arrived, does this mean humanity is doomed?"
"This ship is a thousand times more magnificent than any in a science fiction movie!"
"The air raid sirens have been sounded, and the military will likely be deployed shortly!"
"I think that just because this ship didn't attack the capital doesn't necessarily mean it's an enemy!"
"Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. The air defense missiles of the capital city will surely shoot down this alien ship!"
The general public had no idea that these were Protoss ships from the Land of Redemption.
They simply assumed that an alien spaceship had suddenly arrived.
...
...
On the other side.
Within the military region.
The moment the air raid siren sounded, the entire military region went on high alert.
But what puzzled everyone was how this huge ship managed to break through layers of detection and suddenly appear over the capital.
The experts at the Academy of Sciences immediately began a heated debate.
"A disc-shaped spaceship that is 100 meters tall is absolutely impossible to manufacture with the current level of technology on Earth!"
"Not necessarily! It could very well be the most advanced technology from the United States! You know, they received national awards many times in recent years, so they might have some advanced technology."
"No, no, no! It must be an alien force! You've all read the novel 'The Three-Body Problem,' right? The mysterious alien technology is completely unfathomable."
"You've really read too many novels! Where in the real universe is there a Trisolaran civilization? I think it's most likely that a native force from the Land of Redemption crossed some kind of restriction and arrived on Earth!"
"No matter what, this ship dares to appear in the airspace of the Dragon Kingdom; it's simply lawless!"
"The capital is the political center of the Dragon Kingdom, and it absolutely cannot be lost! I propose that we immediately use force to shoot it down!"
"Let's try diplomacy first, and prioritize peace! I suggest we send someone to send a goodwill signal and make contact with the ships!"
Guo Jing simply ignored the ongoing debate among the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, he was in the combat command center, staring at the huge, disc-shaped ship, hundreds of meters long, on the large LCD screen.
"Mysterious spaceship, is it friend or foe?"
"But why does this style of ship feel somewhat familiar to me?"
"Where have I seen this before? Strange..."
The Purifier is a Protoss mothership.
Its design style is quite similar to that of the ships in the Golden Fleet.
That's why Guo Jing felt that the face looked familiar.
However, unlike the Purifier, the Purifier's exterior walls are covered with slender purple tentacles.
Guo Jing then felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he did not recognize it as a Protoss ship.
"The Central Military Commission has instructed that this alien ship poses a serious threat to the safety of the capital! Immediately use force to shoot it down!" The latest information was displayed on the LCD screen.
Although Guo Jing had some doubts, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the alien ship to be shot down.
...
...
instantly.
Under the blue sky.
A formation of J-31 heavy fighter jets, along with the previously awarded "National Fortune" prize, a sixth-generation fighter jet—an AI-controlled air-breathing hypersonic fighter—launched an attack on the Purifier from two different directions.
"Swish swish!"
Ten airborne guided air-to-air missiles—the PL-31—flew toward their designated targets with lightning speed.
The next moment.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The sounds of explosions echoed throughout the capital city.
The flames died down.
The Purifier was undamaged.
Only the outer energy defense shield rippled.
"Even the most advanced air-to-air missiles couldn't penetrate the outer defenses of this ship!"
Guo Jing stared at the huge ship on the LCD screen, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
People in the capital were also paying close attention to the battle in the sky.
When they saw that the attack had failed, they were all shocked.
"This alien spaceship is incredibly powerful! Even the air-to-air missiles carried by the J-31 fighter jet couldn't cause it any damage!"
"I have a bad feeling that the capital city might be attacked by this ship!"
"An alien civilization has landed on Earth, and the city is no longer safe! I need to hide back in the village."
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If the Dragon Kingdom is destroyed, hundreds of millions of Dragon Kingdom people will also suffer!"
"May Buddha protect us, our nation is facing such a huge crisis, we must get through it safely!"
Those who witnessed that scene felt a sense of fear and unease.
At the same time, the military began an emergency evacuation of civilians.
News outlets, media, and radio broadcasts continuously, guiding the public to take refuge in underground air-raid shelters and wait for the crisis to pass.
...
...
At the entrance of Ameng Barbecue Restaurant.
This place is the closest in a straight line to the Purifier high in the sky.
As a result, the crowds were extremely dense and chaotic, completely blocking the streets.
“Driving is no longer an option. I’ll call a Z-25 attack helicopter to pick us up and take us away by air!” Wang Zhenguo said gravely.
The military operation had begun, and for safety reasons, he wanted to evacuate Su Bai from the scene as soon as possible.
"Compared to the Protoss ships, Earth's technology is somewhat backward." An Ruoyun frowned slightly. "If this ship launches an attack on the capital, the situation will likely be very bad!"
"Swish swish!"
Eight HQ-27 surface-to-air missiles, leaving trails of white flame in the air, flew toward the Purifier with lightning speed.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A violent explosion rang out.
Flames pierced the sky.
The Purifier's outer energy shield glowed brightly, but the ship itself was undamaged.
"The PL-31 cruise missile and the HQ-27 air defense missile couldn't even scratch this ship!" Wang Zhenguo's eyes widened, his voice filled with shock.
"If we launch an attack rashly, this ship will likely become hostile towards us." Zhao Xiangtian's face showed a hint of worry.
Bai Mengyu raised her head and muttered to herself, "I have a feeling that this Protoss ship might be an ally!"
"Wait a little longer, the Z-25 will be here soon!" Wang Zhenguo said quickly.
Just then.
An unusually excited voice rang out from the Purifier high in the sky.
"Lord Su Bai, I have finally found you on this blue planet!"
"Protoss destroyed, infected Purifier. Mission complete. Awaiting your next orders!"
"We are now under attack and request your permission to retaliate."
Upon hearing this voice, Su Bai was slightly taken aback.
Immediately, the expression on his face changed, and an incredulous surprise appeared in his eyes. "Nyadra! You're actually still alive!"
"What's going on? They're calling you 'Lord,' could this be one of your troops?" Wang Zhenguo looked at Su Bai, his eyes filled with disbelief.
