An unfamiliar energy weapon ignored every kind of Human shield and came with speed Humanity could hardly match. With such a configuration, it was hardly surprising that it could crush the entire Human fleet.

From observations of the destroyed warships, the scientists believe it is a Directed Energy Weapon that directly decomposes matter. They even gave it a name: the Matter Fission Cannon.

"The reason is that its effect causes our warship armor to directly decompose. Its power is so great that even our Repair Nanobots cannot repair it in time. There may be some kind of frequency energy spreading outward from the point of impact, causing our armor to instantly collapse into powder."
