"Alarm! Ship 2668's armor is damaged! Warning! Ship 2688's armor is damaged! Defense mechanisms activated! Damaged target location identified, nano-repair system activated!"

"Nanomite Repair Robot swarm has arrived at the marked location. Alert! The Nanomite Repair Robot is experiencing trauma! A request for reinforcements has been sent to control center!"

"Request approved!"

"Adding supplies!"

"Warning! Armor alloy decomposition detected. Activating the second nanometer repair channel!"

"Nano-repair priority has been set to the highest level, and the Nanomite Repair Robot swarm is being fully deployed! The Micro Nanodecomposition Robots swarm is also being deployed!"

"The rate of armor erosion has slowed down!"

"Nano-repair in progress!"

"Under repair!"

"Repair complete!"

"System notification: This nano-repair has consumed 14.7% of the inventory. The replenishment process for the ship's Nanomite Repair Robot is being initiated!"

"Automated production processes have been initiated, and the supply channels for all elements and resources are operating normally."

"System notification: Based on the battlefield situation assessment, the Strong Artificial Intelligence has adjusted the manufacturing priority of Nanomite Repair Robot and nano-decomposition robots!"

Yue Yuan, aboard the Lyra, glanced at the message that flashed across the screen and suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

He saw the whole thing clearly on the big screen.

Unexpectedly, after the explosion, a swarm of shimmering silver Nanobots appeared, then spread across the armor of Ship 2668 like mercury. The rapidly reacting system also kicked in at this moment; within a multi-threaded program of the Strong Artificial Intelligence Nanobots, a group of human-made Nanomite Repair Robot were immediately deployed from inside the warship.

The densely packed, soybean-sized Nanomite Repair Robot of the humans instantly reappeared along the passage like army ants, and then, in the following short period of time, the Nanobots of both sides engaged in a series of battles on the armor of the Ship 2688.

From a distance, the scene looks like two liquids of different shapes meeting, then merging and dissolving into one another.

As seen from the infrared camera, when the two swarms of Nanobots became entangled and fought each other, an extremely high temperature appeared, accompanied by massive heat radiation, turning the entire scene red.

Ultimately, the human Nanobots, like a swarm of insects diving into the water to conceal themselves, used their numerical advantage to eliminate all the enemy Nanobots attached to the warship's armor before repairing the damaged armor.

The repaired warship armor has regained its luster.

However, only those who witnessed all of this truly understood how thrilling and technologically advanced the clash had been—a direct head-on collision of Nanotechnology between the two sides.

Humanity's Alloy No. 2 seemed to be easily disintegrated in the face of this Nanobots weapon. Well, not exactly easily. If it were truly that easy, then perhaps the Ship 2688 wouldn't have survived until its own Nanobots arrived.

Even so, it was enough to make everyone on the Lyra's heart pound with fear.

The scene just now was like the Silver Mist from back then reappearing. That lingering shadow seemed to have clouded everyone's hearts once again, reminding everyone of the torture they suffered at the hands of the Silver Mist Consciousness back then.

Although the human swarm of Nanobots ultimately triumphed at this point, it's important to remember that the enemy's Nanobots were merely inside a single cannonball, while humanity had consumed 14.7% of the warship's inventory of micro- Nanobots.

It's easy for anyone with eyes to see that if a few more of these shells hit, the human warships would be destroyed or disintegrated by those Super Micro Nanobots.

The result of this single shell is enough to make humanity clearly see the gap between its Nanotechnology and this Interstellar Transaction Market.

Yes, it must be admitted that human Nanobots are at least a generation behind this Interstellar Transaction Market in both performance and function.

Based on information from the system feedback, humans discovered that if the Nanobots in the Interstellar Transaction Market are ultra-microscopic, then the nanobots in humans can only be considered microscopic.

Moreover, the opponent's Nanobots seem to be even stronger than the Silver Mist from back then. The Silver Mist was just a miner, while these Nanobots are now being used for war and weapons.

If all 24 million of the enemy's warships were equipped with these kinds of shells, then this war would be very difficult.

Faced with this situation, Yue Yuan's expression darkened; clearly, he was considering a strategy. But what good options did he have against such technological superiority? "Synchronize the message with the North Sea, instructing them to maintain distance in future engagements, avoiding close-quarters combat as much as possible. Increase the computational power allocation of the Close-In Weapon System weapon Close-In Weapon System), primarily using Positron Cannon. They must intercept all projectiles from the enemy's Nanobots warheads before they hit!"

While sending battlefield messages to the North Sea, Yue Yuan was also speaking to the people on the Lyra.

He now feels somewhat fortunate that when building the Sea-Class Warship, he insisted on installing Close-In Weapon System), and that the Close-In Weapon System were primarily Positron Cannon.

In fact, after the Level 2 Civilization, the argument that Positron Cannon were useless emerged within Human Civilization and was supported by many weapons experts in the military. Therefore, when building Sea-Class Warship, a plan was once proposed that all Close-In Weapon System) be made of traditional laser Energy Weapon.

Fortunately, many clear-headed experts have seen through the true nature of Close-In Weapon System). They are designed to intercept Electromagnetic Railgun, and no matter what warhead an Electromagnetic Railgun projectile carries, it is impossible to fit a Magnetic Shield System inside.

This is why modern human -Sea-Class Warship primarily use Positron Cannon for Close-In Weapon System. Compared to Laser Energy Cannon, Positron Cannon have the advantage of not requiring irradiation time; a single hit can cause Strong Force damage.

After all, the Electron-Positron Annihilation is determined by the laws of cosmic physics, not by the level of technology.

Given this fact, humanity can only try to avoid close-range combat and instead engage in mid- to long-range firefights.

Humanity has great confidence in its No. 2 Alloy Material. As long as it is not broken down by Nano Weapon, it can definitely withstand the bombardment of the enemy's Super Large Laser Energy Weapon.

Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

Tactics change as battlefield information is acquired; this is the necessary flexibility in warfare.

Given the enemy's advanced Nanotechnology, humanity must fully leverage its superior armor technology to win the war.

After the message to the North Sea was sent out, the Lyra battleship group finally completed its Attitude Adjustment and entered full Orbital Bombardment mode.

One after another, huge shells were fired from the barrel, and invisible beams of laser energy silently shot towards the ground, thus beginning a massive war between heaven and earth.

Landing Operation? Forget about it!

Humanity's primary resource extraction site is Planet Thirteen, so it doesn't matter if this planet is destroyed. Moreover, with the limited firepower of a Level 3 Civilization, it's not enough to destroy a planet; at most, it can only plow its surface.

The first operational objective of the Lyra battleship group was to completely cripple the planet's defenses.

While humanity lags behind the Interstellar Transaction Market in Nanotechnology, they possess unparalleled precision in Orbital Bombardment, likely due to prior training.

After the three million human warships began to roar, mushroom clouds lit up the surface of the planet.

A large gap appeared in a fleeting shadow of a mountain range, followed by a mushroom cloud erupting from the ground at the edge of the gap.

Countless shockwaves propagated through the Earth's crust, colliding with each other in all directions. The entire planet seemed to tremble slightly. In an instant, countless mountains collapsed, and countless rocks and soil flew up. The area was filled with light and heat, but it was the light and heat of the apocalypse.

The earth shook violently, mountains crumbled and the ground cracked! Dense dust instantly rose up everywhere on the earth, and from time to time, brilliant lights shone through the dust. Needless to say, those were the lights from the human Laser Energy Cannon being blocked by the Polarization Shield of the ground turrets.
