That pale blue beam struck the front of the Blazing Sun Warship.
The universe remained as quiet as ever. Not a sound arose.
The blue beam began to accumulate, its color gradually fading, growing paler and paler until it turned milky white.
The whole process was extraordinary, like a thread of water gathering into a droplet, then turning into a snowball.
This was the change on the macroscopic level. In fact, something similar was happening on the microscopic scale: lines were turning into fragments.
Those so-called fragments were particles.
Countless searing particles merged into a mass of plasma, enveloping the room at the bow of the Blazing Sun.
That plasma consisted of rare elements heated to millions of degrees by lasers.
This was the latest model of Plasma Cannon.
In space warfare, lasers offered the greatest speed and the longest lethal range, but their power diminished too quickly with distance. The size of warships also prevented their power from being increased indefinitely, and even after striking a target, they needed time to take effect. Physical weapons such as nuclear bombs had excellent destructive power, but were too slow.
This latest model of Plasma Cannon could be called the most powerful long-range attack in the history of the Galaxy Alliance.
After obtaining the Galaxy Alliance military's highest level of authorization, the first thing Jing Jiu had done was search through this civilization's most advanced and powerful weapons systems, including the Academy of Sciences' research. He had learned then that development of this new Plasma Cannon was complete and that it could be readied for testing at any time.
Who knew whether he had considered then that this Plasma Cannon's first use would be against him?
The white plasma radiated dazzling light as it continually bombarded the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal Formation around
