Residual Super Weapon
The Grey Eagle quickly departed from the port of Konstruk Star.
Gu Ding didn't know was that after the military withdrew from the desert, other forces also withdrew from the desert where the Super Weapon were buried.
Most factions headed straight for the port, eager to leave the planet as quickly as possible. They knew the military's mission had been a complete failure. Once the explosion subsided, the military would likely launch a massive crackdown, eliminating any remaining forces to make their mission appear less of a failure and to appease the Federal Government headquarters. They didn't want to become targets of the military's purge, so escape was the best option.
Gu Ding's three Escape Pod were quickly discovered by the military on the edge of the desert.
Unfortunately, the Escape Pod was completely destroyed. After some investigation, the military personnel were unable to find any information that could identify the three people, including fingerprints and hair, which had been completely destroyed by the self-destruction of the Escape Pod.
"The other party was acting in groups of three. First, search for all teams of three or more that came to Konstruk Star this time, and we'll eliminate them one by one." Sharp looked at the three Escape Pod that were already badly damaged, his brow furrowed. "Also, take the three Escape Pod back and do a thorough inspection again to see if we can find anything."
"The malfunction of the port platform's canopy this time was clearly sabotaged. Furthermore, even after the entire planet activated signal jamming, information about the Super Weapon and our military's roster was still leaked—clearly the work of top-tier hackers. Investigate whether any hackers were on Konstruk Star this time; perhaps the activation of the Super Weapon is related to one of them." Wendell offered a new perspective. "Even our military has very limited information about these three Super Weapons; the other side clearly knows more than we do. Not only can they easily enter the Super Weapon, but they can even perform normal operations and activate self-destruct mechanisms."
"Could it be the Freedom Alliance?" a general next to him suggested. "Vannaribo arrived on this planet around the same time as us, which means they received the news around the same time. Moreover, their goal wasn't to obtain the Super Weapon; self-destruction is probably what they wanted most."
"To be able to enter the Super Weapon so smoothly and perform the operation without any awkwardness, I guess they might be remnants of the Middle Ancient Era Mechanical Race. Only they could enter the Super Weapon without any obstacles and perform the operation skillfully," another general put forward a bold hypothesis.
"That shelling attack on me before was indeed quite skillful. Almost the instant I jumped, they aimed the cannon at me, and the power of that shot was just right—enough to severely injure me and also deter the others." Sharp thought this conjecture made some sense. "It doesn't feel like their first time controlling Super Weapon."
"That conjecture is probably unlikely. If there were three remnants of the Mechanical Race Konstruk Star, we couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Even if none of them were registered, surely others on the planet would have seen them. But for thousands of years, there has never been any news of anyone witnessing the remnants of the Mechanical Race." Wendell dismissed the conjecture. "Besides, if they were truly remnants of the Mechanical Race, they should have known about these three items long before we unearthed the Super Weapon. Why didn't they destroy the Super Weapon beforehand, instead of waiting until we discovered them to react? This is clearly an act that increases their own risk."
"Let's go back and discuss this in detail after this is over. The most important issue now is the extent of the damage to the Super Weapon that has already been excavated, after the other two Super Weapon self-destructed. Can we use it directly, or do we have enough data to create a replica?" Sharp stood on the edge of the desert, gazing into the distance at the burial site of the Super Weapon in the center of the desert.
Meanwhile, Lex and his Blood Pouch Pirate Crew had already escaped to the port.
"Boss, have you challenged Sharp?" a crew member asked, leaning over.
The other members also looked at Lex.
"I did take on the challenge, but I was stopped by an old man from the Freedom Alliance." Lex touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.
"Muscle man, just admit it, you're no match for that Sharp at all," Ulif retorted mercilessly from the side.
"Who said that? If it weren't for that old man from the Freedom Alliance stopping us, the outcome would be uncertain!" Lex immediately retorted, though his rebuttal was weak.
"If it weren't for that old man from the Freedom Alliance, you would have been dead long ago, right?" Ulif said, pulling up a previously recorded video projection.
First, everyone saw Lex make a very imposing challenge, and then they saw Sharp deliver a stunning blow.
"Muscle man, are you sure you can take that blow?" After watching the recording, Ulif noticed Lex's horrified expression and immediately froze the frame, speaking with a mocking tone.
"Ahem, Sharp is a Federation general after all. Boss, you'll definitely beat him in a few years!" Strategist Ochier smoothed things over at this moment.
In the heart of the desert, the countdown to the self-destruction of the Super Weapon finally reached zero.
In that instant, two blinding white lights shot into the sky, accompanied by a deafening sound.
Even those far away at the spaceship port could clearly see the dazzling explosions that followed, which lasted for nearly half an hour. The sandstorms that swept through the desert were only quelled under Wendell's control.
The military personnel stood on the edge of the desert, looking up at the two blinding white lights, waiting for the explosion to end.
The moment the flames died down, Sharp moved, rushing towards the center of the desert, with the other military experts following behind him.
Military personnel quickly reappeared at the excavation site of the Super Weapon. The two self-destructing Super Weapon were completely destroyed, with only some scattered metal fragments remaining. The Super Weapon that had already been excavated also had half of its hull damaged, and most of its main control room was destroyed, but fortunately, it was not completely destroyed.
Just then, Vannaribo and Granma of the Freedom Alliance reappeared.
"Are you planning to take it, or are you just here to watch?" Sharp asked gravely. The two men were extremely difficult to deal with, and the Freedom Alliance itself did not necessarily have any conflict with the Federal Government.
"No need, you can take the remaining half of the Super Weapon. Anyway, it looks like it's definitely unusable, and with most of the control room destroyed, it's hard to say whether a replica can be made." Granma was quite pleased with this outcome.
"Controlling the self-destruction of the Super Weapon, was that done by your people?" Sharp wasn't sure if the other party would admit it, but asking wouldn't hurt.
"I'll give you a very precise answer: no!" Thinking of the three people she'd detected underground, Granma smiled broadly. "We're leaving. You guys get back to work!"
"My lord..." one of the generals couldn't help but speak as he watched the two swagger away.
But Sharp stopped him, saying, "We can't stop them, and since they said it wasn't the Freedom Alliance, it couldn't have been them. Bring the transport ship over, and we'll take the wreckage away!"
