"The Focused Arc Emitter. This is the ultimate answer for our fleet."
"No weapon can compare to the mighty arc! Only arcs can bring liberation and salvation!"
"All praise to the Arc Emitter Church!"
Years ago, Xi Yan had posed a thought-provoking question to the engineers of the Academy of Sciences.
"Could we just build a Focused Arc Emitter that can move?"
"We could."
The scientists said, "But we have such abundant reserves of alloys, and our shipbuilding speed is decent. We could easily field fully equipped battleships."
Xi Yan pondered.
"Then could we make Arc Emitter Turrets that can only move forward and backward along a plane?"
"We understand exactly what you mean," the Science Officers said.
"If you want turrets, we can absolutely do that. It would be simpler and cheaper than building a battleship."
"Good. Fill the system with them! Fire as you retreat!"
His thoughts returned to the present. Seated upon the Golden Throne, Xi Yan saw a projection of the entire star system flash through his mechanical brain, along with a detailed view of the battlefield.
A staggering number of Arc Emitter Turrets and a fleet composed entirely of Arc Carrier Battleships-this was Xi Yan's will made manifest.
"Let all my formalities be cast aside!"
Xi Yan pressed the fire button. All command authority was transferred to the commanders on-site, and the Arc Emitter Turrets scattered throughout the system began charging, their blue lights flickering.
"I've had enough of formalities!"
Countless Arc Emitters unleashed an ocean of lightning that swept across the entire system, ready to destroy every enemy in its path.
"Heehee, I'm going to win!!!"
There were no unnecessary attacks. Not even a single strike craft was launched. There was only an endless ocean of lightning.
Looking up from a planet, one
