Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 730: A Method

The spherical ship was, after all, not the Neutron War Star. If it had been the Neutron War Star facing the Tianyuan head-on, or even the Solar, the Solar would have been completely pierced without suspense, and it would have been far easier than the Micron corpse piercing the Radiance. But this thing was only an imitation created by the Sweepers Civilization through parsing the Neutron War Star.

After it entered the Tianyuan’s interior, holographic defense technology first took effect. The Tianyuan, built on fully modular technology, possessed an internal shield system. Under the protection of this defensive system, the Tianyuan’s internal systems were no more fragile than its outer hull. This meant that even after the spherical ship entered the Tianyuan’s interior, it still found every step difficult. Then, on the basis of holographic defense technology, Xiao Yu improved upon it and developed holographic attack technology. That is, against invaders that had entered the ship’s interior, the Tianyuan could still unleash spatial weapons, two-dimensional assaults, and a series of other attacks. Moreover, because the distance was closer, these attacks were even more powerful.

Thus, the spherical ship was finally destroyed inside the Tianyuan. Faced with the embodiment of Xiao Yu’s most advanced technology, the spherical ship was finally suppressed. Its white shell was cut open, revealing the fragile structure within. It was obvious that the Sweepers Civilization had not mastered fully modular construction technology and holographic defense technology.

Its wreckage was collected by Xiao Yu, transported to various sections inside the Tianyuan, and rapidly analyzed. Xiao Yu wanted to know exactly which technologies had been used to manufacture such a craft, and the principle of the Spatial Starburst weapon, and whether the space energy formula could be parsed from it.

Of course, all this work did not affect the Tianyuan’s combat power. After destroying this spherical ship, the Tianyuan formation continued to advance. Xiao Yu would not stop easily without completely splitting the Sweepers Civilization’s fleet. However, ahead at the fleet’s core, more spherical ships launched. These spherical ships varied in size, and they were not few in number, over twenty thousand.

Xiao Yu had been closely tracking the movements of these spherical ships. He detected them the moment they acted. Xiao Yu immediately and without hesitation issued an order. “Warriors of the Divine Ark Civilization, pilot your ships, set out, and completely annihilate the Sweepers Civilization’s fleet.”

Over twenty thousand was not a large number, but given the formidable combat power of these spherical ships, Xiao Yu still felt some pressure. Without a doubt, if these spherical ships charged all at once, even the Tianyuan would have to bite the dust. At this moment, it was very necessary to have the intelligent beings join the battle.

In the previous fighting, Xiao Yu had already obtained the various technical and performance parameters of the Sweepers Civilization’s ships and communicated them to the intelligent beings for reference in subsequent engagements. About ten million warriors had long been fired up by the battle footage. They had undergone nearly a thousand years of training for exactly this moment. Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s order, several billion ships immediately poured forth and charged toward the two hundred million Sweepers Civilization warships clustered together.

Before this, the Tianyuan had already engaged at least ten spherical ships. These ten spherical ships were generally larger than the spherical ship that had been destroyed earlier, but Xiao Yu could detect that in terms of combat power, whether defensive strength, offensive strength, or maneuverability, all ten were somewhat inferior to that previous spherical ship.

“It seems that the spherical ships created by imitating the Neutron War Star also share a property with neutron stars. The smaller the neutron star’s volume, the greater its mass, and these spherical ships, the smaller the size, the higher the attack power. In these over twenty thousand spherical ships, there are only a little over thirty whose size is smaller than that one just now. These thirty or so will be my key surveillance targets.”

Encircled by numerous spherical ships, the Spatial Starburst weapon began to be used frequently. The Tianyuan could calmly endure Spatial Starburst of this magnitude and ignore it. The medium and small ships, and the damaged medium and large ships, were not so fortunate. Under the assault of Spatial Starburst, they suffered heavy losses.

“As a wide-area weapon, Spatial Starburst is indeed extremely useful. Combined with the tactic of these spherical warships imitating the Neutron War Star’s direct ramming, if I only had five hundred million ships, then even if my ships’ average performance exceeded those of the Sweepers Civilization, I would be unlikely to win on the conventional battlefield. But it does not matter. Nine billion five hundred million ships have arrived. Sweepers Civilization, endure the crushing of my numbers.”

All the spherical warships had fully deployed, rushing to various points along the defensive line to resist the endless fleets of the Divine Ark Civilization. These spherical warships possessed very formidable combat capability and displayed even greater efficiency in slaughtering medium and large ships such as Planet-Class and Continent-Class vessels. It was precisely because of the rapid loss of medium and large ships that the Sweepers Civilization’s fleet could temporarily hold its ground and, with two hundred million warships, temporarily resist the assault of nearly ten billion ships.

But Xiao Yu knew this was only temporary. If the Sweepers Civilization had no new trump cards to play, then even if the number of spherical ships doubled, it would not change the overall situation. The complete destruction of the Sweepers Civilization’s conventional fleet was only a matter of time.

“Damn it. How are these guys so strong in battle.” At this moment, Yang Jianqi was extremely vexed. In his first actual combat, he had encountered adverse circumstances. The fleet he commanded was under attack by more than a dozen spherical ships. Spatial Starburst inflicted severe losses on small ships, while medium and large ships faced a constant threat of direct ramming. As the most outstanding pilot in the Divine Ark Civilization, he could not tolerate such a situation.

“How do I get rid of these annoying white balls? Should I rely on the Jianqi to do it? Let these spherical ships enter the Jianqi’s interior first, then rely on holographic attack technology and holographic defense technology to destroy them. But that would inflict some damage on the Jianqi. I do not want to accept that. My psychological bottom line is a Planet-Class ship.” Yang Jianqi swiftly considered countermeasures. At this moment, he received a message from Rose. “Hmph, fool, have you already lost five Planet-Class ships. Pay attention. Do not let them destroy your flagship too. From where I stand, your results are clearly inferior to mine. Get ready to propose to me in public. Were you not confident you would definitely win and make me propose to you. What a pity. I already prepared the gift, but it looks like I will not need it now.”

Further provoked, Yang Jianqi grew even more annoyed and replied with some anger. “Are you any different. You have Planet-Class ships destroyed as well. Under Spatial Starburst, your small ship losses are no less than mine.”

“Hey, I only had one Planet-Class ship destroyed.”

“That is only because fewer spherical ships are attacking you.” Faced with this sophistry, Yang Jianqi grew even more irate.

“Haha, that is not my problem. We agreed to judge by final results. If my losses are smaller than yours, then I win, and you must propose to me in public. Were you not so confident you would win and make me propose to you. Alas, it is a pity I prepared a gift. Looks like I will not be using it.” Rose laughed in reply.

“Just wait. I will definitely find a way.” Yang Jianqi answered once and then ignored her no matter how she taunted him. He continued to watch the movements of the spherical ships tensely, analyzing their various data and thinking of ways to destroy them.

This line of thought finally produced results. Yang Jianqi’s heart stirred and he immediately issued an order. “All Province-Class, Nation-Class, and Continent-Class ships immediately converge on Planet-Class Ship Number Eight and transfer thirty percent of your energy to Planet-Class Ship Number Eight. Planet-Class Ship Number Eight will undergo the following modifications. All other ships prepare to attack.”

Yang Jianqi’s orders were rapidly carried out. This specially modified Planet-Class ship continued to fight hard on the battlefield, inflicting comparatively greater damage on the Sweepers Civilization’s fleet. Yang Jianqi knew the Sweepers Civilization would certainly take note of this ship.

Sure enough, a spherical ship noticed it. After launching another Spatial Starburst attack and destroying some small ships, this spherical ship charged menacingly at Planet-Class Ship Number Eight. It intended to attack the Planet-Class ship’s interior by ramming and to destroy it through a penetrating strike. The three Planet-Class battleships destroyed earlier had been eliminated by this same method.

At this moment, Yang Jianqi felt no panic whatsoever. He thought to himself, “I want you to come.”

Planet-Class Ship Number Eight mounted its resistance. Its surface shield system was pushed instantly to maximum power, but it still could not resist the spherical ship’s assault. The spherical ship finally entered the Planet-Class ship’s interior.

A Planet-Class ship could not employ modular construction and thus could not be equipped with holographic defense technology and holographic attack technology. Being breached by a spherical ship meant it was doomed. Everyone believed that in the next instant the spherical ship would burst out from the other side and destroy the Planet-Class ship.

But Yang Jianqi issued a special order.

“I order all ships with available firepower to attack Planet-Class Ship Number Eight immediately. Full power attack.”

This order was executed. A massive barrage instantly covered Planet-Class Ship Number Eight. The Planet-Class ship exploded completely in an instant, becoming a vast fireball. Moreover, this fireball was much larger than that produced by the explosion of an ordinary Planet-Class ship.

As for that spherical ship, it never reappeared.
