As soon as Shen Bing learned what had happened in the Corgi Star System, he sent Master Qiao over.
Originally... Shen Bing had not planned to send Master Qiao there, but that changed when the Outpost Base was blown up.
This time, however, Master Qiao was not heading to Coral Star to build another Outpost Base.
Previously, Coral Star had been the main battlefield, while humanity's rear base had been the Nail Base. Naturally, they had needed a base near Coral Star for staging operations or concealing their activities.
But now, the Azureans on Coral Star had been beaten until they were crying for mercy, and they were on the verge of being wiped out.
Under these circumstances, Coral Star would soon become humanity's rear base in the Corgi Star System.
Building a defensive network for Coral Star was therefore essential.
Shen Bing had previously equipped Earth with a defensive system of Charged Particle Cannons, which had repelled the Corgi Empire's invasion. This time, he intended to use Charged Particle Cannons on Coral Star as well.
Master Qiao's purpose in going there was to construct enough Charged Particle Cannon platforms above Coral Star as quickly as possible.
Although Antimatter Cannons were far more powerful than Charged Particle Cannons, the latter had their own advantage: their attacks were fast, theoretically capable of reaching the speed of light.
Antimatter Cannons were different. Put plainly, they worked much like bullets, relying on kinetic energy to propel their projectiles. Although technological improvements had given Antimatter Cannons a muzzle velocity far beyond that of bullets, they still could not compare with the speed of light.
A defensive system's usefulness lay in detecting enemies promptly and intercepting them in time. In that respect, Charged Particle Cannons were more suitable.
Aside from this consideration, Commander Gao's recent
