Chapter 436: Chapter 275: Drastic Shift in the Situation (6000) (Part 2)
“Presumably, the Insect Kings of Venus and Mercury are also lurking in these regions.”
“The second piece of intelligence is that the core of the Silicon-based Insect Race is structurally identical to the interior of active planets. It is made up of a super-solid structure and molten metal structure, providing it with energy, magnetic fields, etc. It is also known as the life core of the Silicon-based Insect Race, equivalent to the brain and biological nuclear fusion organ of the Carbon-based Insect Clan. If it is not destroyed, even if you completely shatter its outer shell, it will not die!”
Upon learning this intelligence, the commanders began to understand why He Xingzhou insisted on a defensive strategy instead of proactively attacking.
The cores of Blue Star and Venus are both solid with temperatures exceeding six thousand degrees Celsius, having a super-dense inner core, and an outer core composed of molten iron-nickel metal.
The inner core can also constantly move and rotate.
It is precisely the presence of this inner core that endows the planet with a global magnetic field and geothermal energy.
“No wonder the Silicon-based Insect Race has such a strong ability to control magnetic fields!” Song Jinhong exclaimed, “From this, it can be concluded that the Silicon-based Insect Race’s ability to control weather weapons is stronger than ours. Once they reach Blue Star, just their control over magnetic fields would be enough to destroy the entire Blue Star ecosystem!”
They remembered that when Huang Sheng fled Venus’ atmosphere, even an ordinary Volcano Giant Beast could control electromagnetic fields to create a Super Electric Field.
If it were a more powerful Silicon-based Insect Race, creating an even stronger magnetic field would naturally be no problem.
“Commander Bai, thank you for the intelligence you’ve provided.” He Hongwei expressed his gratitude, “We’ll come up with a countermeasure.”
Based on the intelligence provided by Bai Ningxiang, the command center immediately devised defensive measures.
In the atmospheres of Blue Star and Mars, they deployed a large number of ionosphere stabilizers to prevent the Zerg from utilizing their magnetic field control abilities to create natural disasters.
At the same time, all warships going out to battle were equipped with anti-magnetic interference devices.
As for attack methods, a dedicated team was commissioned to conduct research and development.
Just as the Blue Star Civilization was about to engage in battle with the Mercury and Venus Insect Clans, 11.3 light-years away from the Solar System, the Southern River Three Star System was experiencing a war skirmish.
Southern River Three is a star with an apparent magnitude of 0.34, located in Canis Minor. This star system is a binary star system composed of two stars, one being Southern River Three A, which is a white main-sequence star, and the other its companion star, Southern River Three B, a White Dwarf Star.
The Southern River Civilization resides here.
On the outskirts of the Southern River Three Star System, two fleets were engaged in battle.
On a rectangular Star Destroyer, Rafael, the leader of the Southern River Civilization, was commanding the fleet in combat.
“Lockdown the firepower, watch out for the enemy’s mothership, and maintain a distance of 0.3 light-years!”
The enemy target he referred to was the patrol fleet of the Black Sea Civilization.
This patrol fleet’s patrol range covered the vicinity of the Southern River Civilization, the Sirius Civilization, and the Heavenly Garden Civilization.
It was precisely because of the constant presence of the Black Sea Civilization’s patrol fleet that these member civilizations of the Maoshi Star Union dared not make a move against the Solar System.
The last gambling bet with He Xingzhou in the Virtual Universe caused them significant losses.
The Maoshi Star Union was unwilling to bear such losses and had been looking for opportunities to break through the blockade. This time, initiating an attack on the Black Sea Civilization’s patrol fleet was something they had long prepared for.
“Does the mere Southern River Civilization think they can attack us?” On the patrol fleet, Commander Bai Qi of the Black Sea Civilization exclaimed angrily upon realizing the Southern River Civilization dared to attack them.
No matter how declining the Black Sea Civilization might be, they should not be attacked by a Level 1 Civilization.
“Open fire, eliminate them directly!” Bai Qi ordered.
“Commander, should we adjust our position? We’re just a patrol fleet, not the main fleet,” the deputy reminded, “The Southern River Civilization dares to attack us, they must have the support of the Maoshi Star Union.”
“I am well aware.” Bai Qi snorted coldly, “Even the Maoshi Star Civilization is just a Second-level Civilization, far inferior to our Black Sea Civilization!”
“If we show weakness, it will only give them courage and let the Maoshi Star Union push their boundaries. By then, they will not only attack the Solar System, but might even invade our borders.”
Bai Qi naturally had his considerations, and upon hearing, the deputy followed his orders to launch an attack on the enemy fleet.
Their firepower was much fiercer than that of the Southern River Civilization, and their weapons were more advanced.
Several Southern River Civilization warships, positioned relatively close to each other, were completely vaporized by several super powerful Constant Star Level Plasma Cannons before they could react.
This was Constant Star Level Plasma Weaponry, with an output equivalent to the plasma intense flame erupting from a star. Even a Planet Level L9 Star Destroyer could not withstand such an attack.
“Even though the Black Sea Civilization has declined, dealing with us is still effortless.” Seeing the enemy’s attack methods, Rafael marveled.
“Fortunately, we were well-prepared this time.” Those warships were unmanned, and Rafael had already prepared for their sacrifice.
“Fight and retreat simultaneously,” Rafael continued to command, “Hold them for ten more minutes.”
“Understood!” Each ship began to engage in tug-of-war attacks with the Black Sea Civilization’s patrol fleet. They could only inflict limited damage on Bai Qi’s ships using the Star Destroyer Cannon, and comparatively, they incurred more losses.
“Keep bombing them!” Bai Qi decided resolutely, intending to teach the other side a lesson.
For a Level 1 Civilization to have the audacity to provoke them? Isn’t that seeking death?
If not for the concern of triggering a full-scale war between the Black Sea Civilization and the Maoshi Star Union, he would now want to push into the Southern River Three Star System and annihilate the Southern River Civilization completely!
The war lasted for ten minutes, with over 300 ships from the Southern River Civilization being destroyed, resulting in significant losses.
