A Show of Force
After listening to [Kuangxuan Dabaji]'s words, Yuncang No. 29 kept shaking his head, looking very angry. "I don't understand what you're saying... Please don't try to apply your low-dimensional, crude 'encounter battle experience' to Yuncang's mature military system!"
"The benchmarking assessment in the database is based on a comprehensive modeling of dozens of parameters, including theoretical maximum firepower output, strategic mobility, defense threshold, and battlefield control range! A fully organized Deep-Space Fleet, in an ideal battlefield environment, has a threat level sufficient to restrain or even Suppression a Pillar of the fleet!"
"Oh." "And then?" "So-so, you're so-so too."
The Survivors who were nearby replied indifferently.
"Arrogance... That's outdated model data from three years ago! In the past three years, how many new technologies, materials, and energy theories has the Yuncang Civilization acquired from the [Ten Thousand Worlds]? Even if only a small portion has been digested, absorbed, and applied to military upgrades, the actual combat power of the current fleet would far exceed the assessment! The [Yuncang World] itself is very likely a giant, safe testing ground for evaluating and screening [Ten Thousand Worlds] black technologies, and selectively introducing the best ones into reality!"
Barton, now a demonic dragon, flicked his tail, creating a small gust of foul wind. His crimson vertical pupils glanced at Su Luo's back at the front, and he spoke in a low, spiritual voice:
"This little brat acts like he's really that strong."
"Indeed very strong."
Su Luo affirmed that the technological achievements of a Fixed Star- level civilization had reached the level of science fiction in some aspects. Even from a hardware perspective, Su Luo could not penetrate Yuncang Twenty-Nine's database and programs.
With Su Luo's Su Luo support, the speed of the "cocoon" steadily increased to over 200 kilometers per second. The Survivors following behind, who were accelerating wildly, gradually adapted to this high-speed interstellar travel and began to communicate more actively.
"You've said so much, so what about the Wireless Fleet?" Goushi wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Just then--
A beam of light, silent yet dazzlingly bright, like a straight wound slashed open by a god with a sharp blade against the backdrop of the universe!
It burst forth from the dark depths of space, its source almost invisible, displaying a pure, breathtakingly bright white color. With a diameter of tens of meters, it pierced through the endless Void at absolute light speed, precisely penetrating the coordinate region where the group [ Under the Under the Starry Sky] had initially landed!
"What is that?!"
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a burning afterimage on the retina; the space that the beam of light swept through seemed as if nothing had happened.
We can't hold on.
Goushi Shit could tell at a glance that no one present could withstand that laser beam, which was tens of meters in diameter.
"Oh... the 'orbital laser' you mentioned earlier?!"
"To be precise, it was the firing of a 'Flare- class' heavy orbital defense laser cannon."
Yuncang No. 29's voice rang out at the opportune moment, seemingly tinged with a hint of smugness, "This weapon, deployed in planetary geosynchronous orbit or on large space stations, utilizes supercapacitor arrays and high-efficiency energy batteries to instantly release unimaginable amounts of light energy."
Su Luo tilted her head as well. "This is one of the reasons why I say it's strong—extreme attack. In military logic, offense is greater than defense. In this star system, no creature can withstand a giant laser head-on... It's either death or resorting to survival measures."
The last time I saw a large laser beam was when I encountered Technology Side Survivor during my first Continued Battle, but that laser was more than a thousand times weaker than the orbital laser I just saw.
"Theoretically, the focused energy of a single shot is enough to vaporize a metal-rich asteroid several thousand meters high within a fraction of a second. At the speed of light, it's virtually impossible to dodge; the concentrated energy makes it extremely effective at penetrating defenses."
Yuncang No. 29 paused, then added, "That's why I told you to leave the initial landing point quickly! This kind of 'greeting' is very common in standard war procedures."
"Oh, by the way, if you sail like that, you're also very easy to shoot down."
"I've implemented optical distortion, electromagnetic wave scattering, energy radiation camouflage, and absorption processing for conventional detection bands, which is sufficient to significantly reduce the probability of being Lock-On and continuously tracked from a distance, especially when we are moving at high speeds in complex environments," Su Luo responded.
Yuncang No. 29 was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly realized that it couldn't send any messages. It then "looked" at the complex membrane outside and analyzed it for a while.
"Your camouflage can buy you time, but it can't remain undetected forever. Especially when we get close to planets or large man-made structures, background interference increases, and the risk of the camouflage being discovered rises exponentially."
"It's alright," Su Luo's voice remained calm. "We were just avoiding the first wave of attacks. Now, let's pause the collective acceleration. I need to leave for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Luo's figure completely disappeared inside the "cocoon".
"Where did he go?" [Kuangxuan Dabaji] looked at Goushi, who shrugged.
"Perhaps it's Mana depletion? After all, maintaining such a large disguise shield, and also calculating the direction." A flash of icy blue light appeared in Goushi's hand as he began to add "Anti- Prophecy" and "Anti-Tracking" divine spells to the "cocoon."
Holding the ancient musical instrument, [Pineapple Candy] thoughtfully speculated, "[The Ten Thousand Worlds] allows us to freely travel between worlds, probably to cope with this situation—after fighting in environments lacking Mana or special energy, we can quickly return to replenish ourselves, since there is no Mana in this world."
The other Survivors nodded and began to use their own methods on the "cocoon".
At this moment, [ under the Under the Starry Sky], on the rocky platform, Su Luo's figure slowly appeared before Nanmen Shi and the other two.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." Su Luo slightly recovered her Mana and looked at the three trembling figures.
The reason for sending the three strategic cores back immediately was mainly to prevent them from being ambushed and killed as soon as they entered. Survivors are more likely to die, and it doesn't matter if they do, but strategic cores are Su Luo's property, so they should be treated with care.
"Teleported to [Yuncang World], coordinates bound to teleportation mode."
"Binding Target 1: Player ID [A Man Is Never Sold Even When He's Poor]. Binding Target 2: Player ID [Please Cheat on Me with Me]... Binding Target Item: My Personal Laboratory."
"Designated teleportation destination: Player [Xiao Kou Chang Kai], who is already in [Yuncang World], will be the destination based on their current location."
Without binding, according to the rules, the teleported item will default to appearing in the initial area where the attacker arrives, which is tantamount to throwing three precious and fragile strategic cores directly into the enemy's firepower.
The transfer of the Laboratory was a "large-scale cross-world transfer," which required additional fees, and he had already figured out the rules in advance.
Furthermore, the endless stream of Astral Remains that generates Mana cannot be teleported, which seems to be very important to the entire small plane.
[Calculating the distance between this teleportation destination and the last departure point, additional resources required...]
[Additional payment source required × 15]
[Confirm?]
After taking a closer look, Su Luo confirmed that Da Tou was in the Laboratory.
