Chapter 555: 363: Infinite Matryoshka Wells and the New Storm_2
After all, the invaders’ goal was to destroy humanity, and the less exposed, the better.
Harrison Clark found himself in a new predicament.
The more he understood, the more questions he had.
In the end, he could not figure anything out, so he simply slept peacefully for once.
October 27, 3020, 9:30 am, Beijing time.
The Solar System appeared peaceful.
There seemed to be nothing at the edge of the Solar System.
Harrison Clark was not in his own flagship, but rather led a million Galaxy Warriors stealthily to the frontline, cloaked within the energy field of the Stealth-type Fortress Ships.
Behind him in space, thousands of Stealth-type Fortress Ships opened their energy fields completely, forming a massive attack formation with humanity’s 410 billion troops.
In four other areas within the Solar System, there stood another four Stealth-type Fortress Ships doing the same thing, hiding Fire Dragon and Sprout Ships from view.
At the same time, dozens of Stellar Giant Cannons aimed at the incoming ships were preheating at full power.
To cover up the energy effects of the Stellar Giant Cannons, at least hundreds of Stealth-type Fortress Ships laid overlapping transmission fields on top.
That entire section of the universe seemed to become a massive cluster of Dark Energy.
At 9:49 am,
Harrison Clark subtly communicated across the quantum network, “Prepare.”
All members of the highest military command channel tensed up.
Something unexpected happened.
The Spherical Battleships did not arrive as scheduled at 9:50 am.
The outside of the Solar Dome remained peaceful.
“What…”
“What happened?”
A clamor arose within the command channel.
Harrison Clark took a deep breath and projected his image into the channel.
He shrugged helplessly, “Everyone, we were too well-prepared. The Spherical Battleships saw our strength and adjusted their strategy. We’re going to face different enemies now.”
A deadly silence filled the channel.
The commanders looked at one another, unable to hide the fear in their eyes.
The atmosphere was inexplicably desperate and indescribable.
Harrison Clark took a deep breath, “But isn’t this also within our expectations? We were once like frogs in a well… I grew tired of a dull, boring life. Frankly, I am not sad at all to see this situation. We are finally… qualified to face the real army of the Compound-Eyed Observer!”
“This is a good thing! It shows that our progress over the past thousand years is enough for them to take us seriously, and even feel threatened by us! We are no longer a weak civilization that can be easily crushed and toyed with! Imagine the despair of an army from the age of cold weapons facing 21st-century main battle tanks.”
“But now, we are no longer the primitives from the cold weapon era, we hold explosives that can upturn mountains! So these main battle tanks can no longer arrogantly roll over our heads!”
“The Compound-Eyed Observers… fear us! I enjoy this new situation, this new challenge. We will fight a new war!”
As soon as Harrison Clark finished speaking, the continuously charging Stellar Giant Cannons could no longer suppress their energy.
They had to be fired; otherwise, the Stellar Giant Cannons would explode.
With a hum and a vibration, dozens of massive Mass-energy beams erupted and struck out in unison.
The beams hit the Solar System Barrier halfway through.
Another unexpected event occurred.
The Solar System Barrier did not silently dissipate everything as it had in the past.
The bombardment caused a slight ripple.
Compared to the energy beams that were tens of kilometers in diameter, this ripple was extremely subtle, perhaps less than 1 nanometer in spread and lasting less than a ten-thousandth of a second.
But something was there, while nothing was not.
There was a fundamental difference between the two.
The essence of the ripples was that the energy surge within a very small range and for a short time was too strong and caused some energy to be blocked and leak out, spreading.For example, a high-speed golf ball hitting an upright, razor-sharp knife head-on would be silently cut in half.
Now, if the golf ball is made stronger, it will still be cut open, but at the moment of collision, there will be vibrations on the surface of the ball.
This tiny ripple indicates that the invincible solar system barrier must be shaken back a part when dissolving the impact of the stellar giant cannon, and then it takes more time to dissolve the impact.
Apart from the particle-interference bomb and black hole bomb, the stellar giant cannon is the strongest attack method ever prepared by humans.
Although many launch experiments have been carried out before, such large-scale synchronized firing and full-scale bombardment hitting the same range has never been seen before in history.
Harrison Clark laughed loudly.
He pointed to the nano-scale ripple highlighted by the analyzer in the projection and said loudly, “Look, this is our progress. Although we have never set foot in the solar system, we already have the power of a Tier 3 civilization, only second to the Compound-Eyed Observer in the Milky Way!”
“The Compound-Eyed Observer can watch us through the solar dome, and we’ve known that for a long time. What I want to see is just how many new things they have.”
“In the limited solar system, we have explored the essence of the universe. This time we have the stellar cannon, next time, we will be able to put the sun into our giant spaceship engine!”
“We can give them a taste of their own medicine!”
After saying that, Harrison Clark stopped talking and just looked around the room silently.
The once-dejected generals seemed to recover a bit of their enthusiasm.
Frankly speaking, Harrison Clark’s speech quality wasn’t great, but everyone just inexplicably regained their spirits quickly.
Maybe that’s the meaning of leadership.
At 11:33 in the morning, the alarm suddenly rang.
The whole army, on high alert, entered combat readiness status in an instant.
Nora Camp’s voice resounded in the command channel, “Prepare to face the enemy.”
Her speech was very fast, but her tone was not heavy.
At last, the late spherical battleships arrived.
Intelligence analysis was immediately launched.
Harrison Clark was extremely familiar with spherical battleships, so he was not interested in those conventional analysis reports.
He just stared straight at one number.
This time, there were two fewer Compound-Eyed Observers in the spherical battleship, only 53 left.
Where did the other two go?
What roles were these two fulfilling within the spherical battleships?
Would the spherical battleships, as in the past, launch an offensive as soon as they met, or would they just hover outside as observers?
If the Compound-Eyed Observers had a large force, where would it be and how big would it be?
How advanced are their warships compared to the spherical battleships?
Harrison Clark was not surprised that humans couldn’t detect any information from the universe in advance.
There’s a very simple reason.
The speed of the advancing Compound-Eyed Observers fleet is faster than light, so their attacks will come faster than information.
Unless, at some future point, humans fully understand the unified force, and can spread a quantum entanglement information network within a large enough range, which would then mean a revolution in human intelligence technology, information can be obtained faster than light.
But then there will be a new situation.
You can use the quantum entanglement information network to investigate information regardless of distance, and others can also use the quantum shielding layer to conceal information, only allowing you to “see” chaos.
Wars in the universe are battles of technology and the development of the essence of the universe by civilizations.
As Harrison Clark pondered these questions, the sound of “Morning Wind” quietly resounded.
This time, the player was distributed throughout the solar system.
And with the explosive growth of human productivity, under the massive long-term energy supply of the Dyson membrane, the energy reserve of the “Morning Wind” player was extremely abundant and easily surpassed the extreme of the spherical battleship in the previous timeline.
Under Harrison Clark’s guidance, to balance the consumption of energy for the Compound-Eyed Observers, the power of “Morning Wind” was not turned up to full from the beginning. Instead, it followed the intensity of the “Song of the Wilderness” closely, and the power increased in a smooth curve synchronously.
Nora Camp issued a new order.
“Stealth-type fortress ships maintain stable operation and increase power, covering their tracks. The Fire Dragon Giants and Sprout Ships standby for the escape fleet, engines can be warmed up. As soon as the Solar Dome disperses, the escape fleet rushes forward. When the dome re-solidifies, get closer and use the black hole bomb first.”
The person in charge of the four major escape fleets responded in sync, indicating that they understood.
As soon as she finished giving this mental command, the scout at the forefront had already sent back a message, “The solar dome has dispersed!”
