Electromagnetic Cannon

Amidst the gloomy clouds, a spacecraft pierced through layers of nuclear dust and appeared in the sky.

At first glance, this aircraft looks very advanced because it looks a lot like a UFO, so it looks very harmonious at first glance. However, experienced pilots will feel uncomfortable because it seems to have completely disregarded aerodynamics. With such a large frontal area, the resulting wind resistance is exaggerated.

In reality, the "disc-shaped spacecraft" serves as a communication tool between the space station and the asteroid belt, and its true application is in outer space.

Moreover, its level is also very high, reaching level 8 based on a series of parameters.

It's important to know that the upper limit for a Type II civilization's spacecraft is only Level 10, and Level 8 means that it can achieve "short-distance jumps" between planets.

This short-distance leap has two technology trees: one is space technology, and the other is energy technology. The former relies on spatial folding, while the latter relies on dimensional travel.

This "disc-shaped aircraft" uses the former. As the jump engine is activated, the UFO stretches rapidly in space. When it stretches to a line, the line suddenly contracts in the middle and disappears as a black dot.

After several jumps, the spacecraft appeared above the ancient battlefield and actively activated its stealth mode. This stealth mode did not rely on radar-resistant coatings, but on high-grade shielding minerals unique to the asteroid belt.

Therefore, its stealth is true stealth; the huge fuselage disappears into the air in an instant, and almost none of the radiation waves, light rays, or particle rays can detect the aircraft's body.

"Mothership, open the map of the ancient battlefield for me."

"Yes, Master."

The next moment, two high-precision maps appeared on the virtual projection: one was a map of the present day, and the other was a military map of the civilized era.

The Second Mechanical War, also known as the "War of No Man" or the "Silent War," was so powerful that the advanced civilization destroyed the planet's surface civilization without ever sending a single soldier.

The senior engineer realized after comparing the two maps that it was no wonder the research institute was located here before the war.

The radiation zone was originally the main base of the Empire's "Divine Soldiers," where an army group was stationed.

As one of the three most powerful armies in the empire, the Divine Weapon ranks only after the 'Sky Base' and 'Xia Yu'.

According to the information, this base served as an outpost in Asia, and its role was to suppress the first island chain on the mainland. It was also the empire's largest outlet to the sea.

"As a special mecha unit, the Divine Soldiers are different from the asteroid landing combat style of the 'Sky Base,' and they are not like Xia Yu's garrison unit. They have the largest number of large equipment, including three sky carriers, 13,029 unmanned combat robots, and an intercontinental engine. They can relocate to islands in critical moments. Not bad, you've already mentioned the intercontinental engine. Will the planetary engine be far behind... Are you slacking off?"

The senior engineer glanced sideways and saw Angel, who was secretly squatting on the ground behind him, startled. She quickly got up and continued doing push-ups.

"Never mind, let's rest for a while."

Angel looked at the other person in disbelief, her eyes seeming to say, "This demon actually let me rest!?"

The senior engineer chuckled, "What are you thinking? You're going to come with me to inspect the area later. I've already exhausted you. What are we going to do later?"

Angel flipped her head over and lay sprawled on the ground, all traces of her aristocratic bearing gone, and cried out in despair, "Kill me!"

"Don't be ridiculous. If I kill you, how can I be a live-in son-in-law?"

Angel did try nonviolent non-cooperation; she didn't believe the other party would really dare to kill her.

However, she never imagined that humans could be so perverse.

The other party seemed to have anticipated that I would give up, and had prepared a "training exoskeleton" in advance, which would activate my body automatically through electromyography.

The training volume that day was three times that of before, and the movements were performed without any compromise.

From then on, she never dared to slack off during training again.

Angel's eyes darted around, she got up, poured two glasses of juice, and approached the senior engineer in a fawning manner.

"I'll buy you a drink."

The senior engineer glanced at the other person. "Poisoned?"

"Of course not," Angel's eyes widened. To prove her innocence, she took a big gulp of her drink, her expression saying, "Look, I'm fine, how could you be in trouble?"

The senior engineer took the drink and muttered to himself, "I've heard that pheromones can artificially regulate other people's hormones, turning some normally harmless foods into highly toxic substances. Have you heard of this?"

Angel forced a smile and said, "No, I've never heard of it."

Without turning his head, the engineer waved, and a colossal, half-mechanical, half-fusion creature emerged from the darkness. With a deft flick of its tongue, it snatched the drink away.

"Considering this is your first offense, the training will be doubled; if you offend again, it will be doubled again."

Angel's eyes immediately filled with rage, and she bared her teeth and brandished her claws. "I'll fight you to the death!"

"Even if we can't beat them, we'll double down."

"Wow--"

"Cry? Cry twice as much!"

Angel completely broke down, crying and screaming, rolling around on the ground.

Although the senior engineer still doesn't know what color the other party's excrement is, he at least knows what the tears of pheromones-producing life look like, and he has collected almost a whole bottle of them.

"If it weren't for liberating your bloodline, who would bother with you, you little thing with no breasts and no butt?"

Seeing the little thing finally faint from howling, the senior engineer curled his lips, waved his hand, and had a robot carry her to the bed.

Every carbon-based civilization has its own "superhuman training method," which requires training in conjunction with their advanced genetic equipment.

What if you don't have any? Then start working out. If you have strong blood and energy, you can stimulate some of the opponent's blood and energy power by constantly tearing old muscle fibers.

To this end, the senior engineer specially designed an "extreme training method" that, when combined with gene-based drug development, yields even better results.

As for why he doesn't practice, well, it's too tiring.

Why not just add some points?

The senior engineer became increasingly suspicious that Angel's background was not simple. Rather than being Frasso's offspring, she seemed more like the offspring of that pheromone life form.

"Is this guy trying to build an alien army?"

Many advanced civilizations have vassal armies, or even vassal civilizations.

Even interstellar mercenaries tend to recruit people with bloodlines from advanced civilizations.

If the other party really intends to use Angel as a tool, then the senior engineer can only say that the other party is far too prescient.

Unfortunately, this guy's memory locks are no less than those of the electronic executives, and these secrets are beyond the reach of the senior engineers.

However, the senior engineer quickly became excited again.

No other reason than that his oasis had arrived!

Amidst the visible ruins, ten smart factories came into view. The factories were square, metallic white, and each factory covered an area of approximately 400,000 square meters. Together, the ten factories covered an area exceeding that of the car city.

Not to mention the factory's perimeter, which is covered with a dense array of radiant charging panels, creating a sea of light as far as the eye can see.

This type of radiant charging panel is similar to a solar charging panel, except that the former absorbs radiant energy.

It is precisely because of these radiant charging panels that the radiation energy here has decreased so quickly.

"That's way too fast!"

The senior engineer was both happy and worried. He was happy that the logistics base was finally showing some progress, but worried because Director Du was too much of a troublemaker. Even with 3D printing technology, the resources required to set up production in a short period of time would be unimaginable.

Is she a rich woman or a spendthrift?

According to the senior engineer's plan, the security team's resources will be used to develop their own oasis.

Now it seems that this rich woman is too self-reliant, and she even occasionally learns some of my tricks of clinging to someone's coattails.

With a thought, the giant flying saucer appeared high in the sky.

The appearance of the Level 8 aircraft was quite awe-inspiring. Its enormous shadow completely blocked out the light, and it was silent, yet it seemed like a monster from outer space.

In fact, even with the security force's financial resources, there are only two of these level eight aircraft, one of which is Frasso's personal aircraft.

The senior engineer stood on the now-transparent aircraft, wanting to see what the other side would do in this situation.

"Mothership, activate defense system number one."

The next moment, four cannons as thick as water tanks popped out from the UFO, and the next moment, countless electric arcs as thick as arms appeared on the surface of the UFO.

This is an "electromagnetic defense network." In space, energy defense systems are standard equipment for spacecraft.

However, to the eyes of a country bumpkin, it was truly awe-inspiring.

"What are your plans?"

The senior engineer muttered to himself, after all, the hostility was already quite obvious, wasn't it?

The next moment, the roofs of two factory buildings in the center suddenly fell off, revealing half-built missile launch silos.

The next moment, more than a dozen rockets soared into the air and hurtled towards the aircraft amidst the thick smoke.

"That's not enough."

The "electromagnetic defense network" is not just a net; it is a complete electromagnetic defense system. The next moment, the lightning that was moving in the air disappeared, and people on the ground simultaneously felt a tingling sensation on their skin.

The next moment, the rocket exploded as soon as it reached mid-air.

"Energy defense systems are absolutely ineffective against this kind of powered weapon."

The senior engineer shook his head. It wasn't that powered weapons were necessarily bad. He had seen a super-powered atomic spear from a photon civilization, powerful enough to shatter stars.

The problem is, it's the speed of light.

The next moment, all sorts of mechanical beasts rushed out from various factory buildings, numbering no less than ten thousand, but only one percent of them were able to fly.

"That's it?"

The senior engineer was somewhat disappointed, although he knew that the factory's defense system was probably not even operational for three days.

But there really weren't any surprises.

"Warning! Warning! High-speed weapon approaching! High-speed weapon approaching!"

The senior engineer's eyes lit up. From the screen, a solid, black bowling ball-like projectile pierced through layers of electromagnetic shielding and hurtled towards him.

This is—an electromagnetic railgun!?
