Effect

Just as Knox had guessed, Kari inadvertently discovered the Sonic Denial Cannon piled up in the corner of the armory. It was normal that no one would remember such a weapon, which was rarely used even under normal circumstances.

Although the small Sonic Denial Cannon is a personal weapon, it is clearly not designed for the Z2 spider robot; its massive barrel hanging on its body looks somewhat comical.

After giving Kari a verbal compliment, Knox maneuvered the humanoid robot forward, inserted the Gauss Launcher in his hand into the gun slot on its back, and then picked up the Sonic Denial Cannon.

The cannon, with a barrel over three meters long, is about the same height as the humanoid robot; it's quite a behemoth in its hands. However, it's much better than the spider robot, at least in terms of proportion.

Knox controls the ZR-2 humanoid robot, which is compatible with the Sonic Denial Cannon. Once you get your hands on it, there are special clips to secure this huge weapon.

"Wow, that's cool!" Kari said enviously, but unfortunately, his piloting experience and level were not high enough to equip him with the ZR-2 humanoid robot.

Knox nodded to his team members; their long-standing understanding allowed them to tacitly agree. Nascito walked in front, holding the giant shield, with Knox following behind, while the other aircraft followed behind, providing the team with more visibility.

Soon, the squad advanced into a passage that hadn't been checked yet. Northito blocked the hatch, propped up his giant shield on the ground, and then gave way half a body length.

Knox immediately stepped forward, mounting the Sonic Denial Cannon on the giant shield. He shouted, "Defense alert!" and then pressed the fire button.

Instantly, an invisible shockwave erupted from the cannon's muzzle, the immense recoil causing the ZR-2 robot's upper body to stagger. Fortunately, its giant shield secured the cannon, and its high-energy magnetic attachments held it firmly to the metal floor, preventing any major damage.

The Sonic Denial Cannon was incredibly powerful; as its output power rapidly increased, the invisible sonic waves created a storm within the nearly sealed room.

Stubborn dust clinging to the crevices was shaken up and blown away, causing the air quality in the passageway to drop at a visible rate. Subsequently, some small parts or decorations were also blown away and collided with the metal bulkheads.

The ultrasonic waves raged, distorting even space itself. Under this attack, the seamless metal bulkhead remained as solid as a rock, though its surface trembled.

This made some anomalies on them very obvious. Gwendolyn, the AI that was constantly providing information support to the team, immediately noticed the differences and marked the area in red.

This is an irregular, narrow area. In fact, even without artificial intelligence for comparison, Knox could see the unusual features there with the naked eye.

Compared to its surroundings, that area appeared identical in material and color. However, when the ultrasonic waves were scanned, it revealed a clear difference.

The surrounding bulkhead metal, though affected by the jumping deposits on its surface, appears to have a wave-like, layered effect.

However, this is only what it appears to be; the abnormal area did indeed show signs of wrinkling, and under continuous sonic attacks, it showed signs of slight contraction. This created a relatively clear boundary line between it and the surrounding metal bulkhead.

"There! Attack!" It was now quite clear that while the Zerg's traps could perfectly simulate everything under small-caliber energy weapons, they couldn't maintain 100% perfection under ultrasonic attacks, despite their best efforts. The behavior of living organisms and metals under ultrasonic waves was not perfect.

As soon as Knox gave the order to attack, his teammates, who had been waiting for a long time, opened fire instantly, and the powerful firepower blasted the "wall" into a mess.

"Awesome!" Kari shouted, and the other team members cheered, even Knox's lips curled into a grin. This scene proved that their method had succeeded. This was the first time they had felt triumphant since discovering the Zerg trap.

"I must report this to my superiors as soon as possible." The experienced Knox quickly regained his composure; the situation was urgent, and no discovery could be delayed.

After the failed lightweight weapon firing experiment, the captain withdrew his attention from the various mission teams. He was somewhat dejected at this moment, even though he was just an ordinary captain among tens of millions of Komok warships.

However, he has served for a long time and has some friends. He just learned about what happened at the Coalition Army meeting through some special channels.

The top leaders of the Coalition Army were still arguing incessantly at the meeting, unable to find any solution. Time was ticking away, the Zerg continued to spread, and they were running out of time.

But just then, a message interrupted his thoughts. Glancing at the title, he saw the words "Knox Squad" and immediately perked up.

As a member of the ship's frontline mission team, he had been quietly observing this team for a long time. He knew that although some of the team members were unreliable, their Captain was an experienced veteran.

Unless there's something unnecessary, their team won't send any messages. Besides, if the message isn't important, it won't be rushed through all the layers of bureaucracy to reach them.

Although he was just an ordinary captain, he was the most authoritative figure on the warship, and not just anyone could pass messages to him.

The captain quickly scanned the information, his fist clenching tightly before he excitedly waved it a few times. Knox hadn't disappointed him; he'd promoted him and given him a raise right afterward.

The captain didn't delay at all in conveying the crucial information about how to counter the Zerg traps to the high-level representatives of the Coalition Army, which led to the scene that unfolded at the meeting earlier.

After interrupting the discussions of numerous foreign representatives, the Komok representative Feilinli, certainly made a name for himself. The information he provided was indeed enough to earn him applause from the other foreign representatives.

While anti-interplanetary weapons may not seem particularly advanced to civilizations capable of interstellar travel, they are too limited in their application to be effective in the short term. Due to their restrictive use, not all races will utilize them in space warfare.

Fortunately, such careless individuals are not numerous. Furthermore, denial-type weapons are not primary offensive weapons in the search for Zerg traps; rather, they function more like detectors.

This means that the required number of them is not large; one or two per squad is enough, as having more would actually reduce the squad's attack strength.
