Time passed second by second...
The Project Insight warships also began breaking through the atmosphere and entering outer space.
Since they needed to conduct comprehensive, blind-spot-free surveillance of the ground at the same time, once they reached a certain altitude, they quickly dispersed and entered their respective orbits.
Once the three spacecraft had fully spread apart, the main cannon of the cloaked light cruiser finally began charging.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, a blinding beam of light illuminated the pitch-black depths of space.
Having never anticipated an attack, one of the spacecraft was struck head-on and pierced through by the high-energy particle weapon.
Its Nuclear Fusion reactor was instantly destroyed, unleashing an incomparably brilliant and violent explosion in Earth orbit.
Not only did the Nuclear Fusion reactor explode, but the fully automated combat robots aboard the warship detonated along with it.
Fortunately, there was no air in space. Otherwise, with shockwave and sound added in, it would have been especially spectacular.
"Alert! We're under attack!"
"Enemy location—Sector C91 coordinates!"
"Ship Three has been completely destroyed! It was a high-energy particle weapon!"
"Initiate evasive maneuvers immediately!"
"Prepare to counterattack!"
For a moment, the communications channel was filled with all kinds of frantic shouting.
Whether it was Hydra or the International Security Council watching this unfold, everyone was thrown into complete chaos.
You must know, in their understanding, Project Insight was supposed to possess overwhelming military force capable of crushing the whole world.
It could deploy troops to any nation or region and forcibly intervene and suppress them in less than half an hour.
But now, the three advanced space warships had barely entered their designated orbits before an unknown enemy overturned one of them with a single shot.
How could they possibly accept such an embarrassing situation?
