"In other words, unless in space, its energy could never be exhausted!"
As Song Jinhong finished speaking, these commanders who had weathered countless storms were also shrouded in despair.
This is no longer an issue of finding a solution, but rather one of human civilization’s capabilities being unable to contend with such an extinction-level beast!
The technological chasm of civilization is not something they can bridge here just by racking their brains!
"What else can we do?" asked Cui Weimin.
Among those present, He Xingzhou was not there; he was still rushing to create that weapon.
"Initiate the Seed Plan," Lv Mei said helplessly.
The Seed Plan is the last resort to preserve the flame of human civilization, to let rockets carry a portion of humans, robots, and ships carrying the human gene bank into space.
To the Moon, to Mars, or other planets, seeking survival.
Everyone knew that this plan once had feasibility in the past.
But now, they know that there are Zerg on other planets. Those sent to space likely won’t survive either!
"Intercept as best as we can," Qin Peng said, "Even if fighting to the last moment, we must not give up!"
He continued to command operations, employing various tactics.
He Hongwei was also commanding, Lv Mei and Cui Weimin initiated the Seed Plan, and Song Jinhong continued to research with his team the weaknesses of the Ola Insect King.
On the sea, the Xuanwu Army used various methods!
Weapon arrays, a hundred hydrogen bombs exploding, plasma energy storage cannons volleying, giant mechas, and other tactics—none had an effect.
The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven giant mecha, which killed Barry Worm King, couldn’t withstand even thirty seconds before the Ola Insect King!
It was torn apart by the Ola Insect King’s claws and then consumed entire with its pilot!
"Old Deng!" Huang Sheng saw Deng Jian, piloting the giant mecha, get swallowed by the Ola Insect King, and he felt immensely grief-stricken, even wishing to rush over and fight the Ola Insect King desperately.
But in the next second, he was blasted by a shockwave, falling into the sea.
"Kill!" The plasma energy storage cannon barely created a breach in the Ola Insect King’s defensive plasma layer, and Feng Xiaolong, former captain of Blade Squad, maneuvered the Mechanical Mana Insect King into the breach, intent on biting a chunk off the Ola Insect King.
The Ola Insect King’s tentacles lifted this mechanical giant beast and threw it into its maw!
"Attack its mouth! Throw all weapons in!" In the sky, Xue Yang commanded the fleet, launching superhydrogen bombs and plasma cannons to strike the Ola Insect King’s mouth.
To his surprise, the Ola Insect King this time did not consume the mechanical giant beast, but instead spewed a blue Atomic Breath, vaporizing both the mechanical giant beast and the Space Air Mother Ship in the sky.
Xue Yang, the Da Peng Space Air Mother Ship, and all the crew were wiped from this world by it!
"The Space Air Mother Ship commander’s sacrifice confirmed; new commander Luo An!" Luo An automatically became the new commander of the fleet.
He shouted, "Continue attacking, do not let it approach Shen Zhou!"
He looked at the command screen; of the hundred Space Air Mother Ships initially deployed, now less than thirty remained!
"I might be the fleet’s most failed commander, right?" Luo An bitterly laughed inwardly, as the ships sank under his command of the aircraft carrier fleet.
The first time commanding Space Air Mother Ships, the Xuan Niao crashed, and in the second, the Space Air Mother Ship crashed again.
Now, it was his turn to command the Space Air Mother Ship fleet, yet faced with a beast humanity couldn’t contend with!
The Ola Insect King unleashed another wave of Atomic Breath and super electric sweep, and the giant weapon troops were left with less than a quarter remaining.
Lei Yuanfeng reported extremely helplessly to the command center, "Command center, we can no longer stop the Ola Insect King; it continues towards Shen Zhou!"
"We will continue to delay!"
Weapons continued to attack, but total annihilation was only a matter of time.
In the southern research base, a proton stripper was being manufactured.
It’s a tool used to convert electromagnetic force into strong interaction force, stripping protons from atomic nuclei, a labor of love studied by Kong Qing.
He Xingzhou planned to use this device to strip the protons from atomic nuclei!
The atomic nucleus of matter is composed of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, each proton and neutron having about 2000 times the mass of an electron.
For most elements, the overall mass is roughly the same, so nearly half of all matter’s mass is protons.
Usually, the positive charge carried by protons in the atomic nucleus and the negative charge carried by electrons form a stable equilibrium.
And if any side is stripped away, this balance will be quickly broken!
A gram of protons, if deprived of electrons to make their net charge zero, will generate a strong enough electric field to strip electrons from their parent atoms and ionize air 15 kilometers away.
Such a massive and intense magnetic field could make lightning penetrate granite over a 10-kilometer range!
If sufficient quantities of protons stripped of electrons are present, it could destroy almost all materials!
He Xingzhou was creating a superweapon using strong interaction forces to forcibly "bind" a certain mass of protons together.
He named it, the Proton Missile! This was also He Xingzhou’s intended ultimate weapon to deal with the Planet Dominator!
