Boom!
A dazzling beam of light descended from the heavens.
The basic principle behind the Continent Shaking Cannon was to use a space-based high-energy particle beam cannon to melt through the planet's crust, then deliver a device called a Continent Oscillator into the most active geological layer beneath the surface.
Activity inside a celestial body's crust was generally conducted from the core to the surface.
Therefore, the depth to which high-energy photons could blast through the crust usually determined the range affected by the Continent Oscillator.
The land affected by the Continent Oscillator would lose all vitality because of the hollow fault in the energy-conducting layer beneath the ground, becoming a barren wasteland.
Hum.
The dazzling beam was only about a meter in diameter, but its source lay far away, on Superbody Star!
Through a siphon-gravity conduit, the high-energy photon beam broke through the effects of Star Body Siphon and pierced the almost imperceptible atmospheric shield over the Pangula Highlands, successfully reaching the surface. The instantaneous heat vaporized the ground, melting through the soil illuminated by the beam and boring deeper into the crust.
Beep beep beep beep beep.
An unforeseen scene unfolded before the Superhuman commander designated L101.
"Warning! Warning! The high-energy particle beam has been affected by an unknown factor and refracted by 11.55°. This will affect the subsequent launch of the Continent Oscillator. Please investigate the specific cause."
"Warning! Warning! The refraction angle of the high-energy particle beam has changed to 9.83°. Please..."
"Warning! Warning! The refraction angle of the high-energy particle beam has changed to 6.24°. Please..."
L101 looked up.
Among the weapons of interstellar warfare, high-energy particle beams were the most conventional, basic weapons. They were also the most economical standard weapons ever invented by the Superhumans for interstellar war.
It was through the suppression
