Volume 3 Chapter 101 Earth VS Planet Fortress
The channel left by the advanced civilization in the space turbulence zone can only be regarded as a slightly narrow alley compared to the space turbulence within a dozen light years.
This alley is not like the alleys on the planet, except that you can't go left or right.
Instead, it was impassable up, down, left, and right, with only one passage in front.
It's like a small hole in an apple.
The advanced civilization even built a fortress at the entrance and exit of this small hole to prevent any possible rescue attempts by the fairy ships in the space turbulence.
At the same time, it is also a precaution against the immortal ships. In case they attack along the waterway, there will be a last blockade line to block the immortal ships.
Thus, the huge fortress completely blocked the relatively narrow passage.
It was not until Lin Xu saw the fortress with his own eyes that he realized how huge it was.
Because it is a planet fortress.
A planet about the same size as the Earth was transformed into a fortress, and then dragged here to completely block the exit of the waterway.
The surface of the planetary fortress has long been transformed into an all-metal form, with countless warships of various types docked on it on standby, ready to take off and fight at any time at the command of a single order.
Various factories inside the planet are on standby at all times, and weapons and equipment can be produced inside the fortress, just like on Earth.
And in the low-Earth orbit surrounding the planetary fortress, there are densely packed turrets, each of which is as big as a mountain, with thick barrels piercing the sky.
Below these turrets are thick pipes connected to the ground of the planet fortress, and antimatter reactors supply sufficient energy to the turrets.
There is even an antimatter extraction factory on the planet fortress, which can produce antimatter annihilation bombs on site. This kind of weapon is considered a nuclear-level killer weapon in advanced civilizations.
Of course, the fact that antimatter annihilation bombs can be produced on-site on the planetary fortress is actually top secret, and only a few senior officials know about it.
And Total just happened to be one of the few senior executives, so Lin Xu, who got the defense map drawn by Total, naturally knew it.
More importantly, the defense map also shows the location of the antimatter extraction factory and the location where the produced antimatter annihilation bombs are stored.
In this regard, Lin Xu could only say thank you Mr. Total for his selfless dedication.
Otherwise, once the two sides go to war, even if they can win by forceful attack, the losses will be beyond expectations.
Think about the Earth-like planet that was blown up when humans conducted experiments using antimatter.
Even if the earth has a perfect defense mechanism, the antimatter annihilation bomb will be intercepted by a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates before it reaches the earth, but the autonomous machinery will inevitably be consumed in large quantities, so at least it will be no problem to clear out a large area in an instant.
So unless it is necessary, Lin Xu doesn't want to face this kind of thing.
This is a disadvantage for both the current battle and the subsequent rescue of the fairy ships.
But now, I know where you are, how can I let you beat me?
Of course, before the war starts, I will destroy you as soon as possible.
Otherwise, according to Lin Xu's prediction, the advanced civilization on the planet fortress would most likely guess that the opponent this time is human as soon as they see the autonomous machine appear, and would then use antimatter annihilation bombs as soon as possible.
This can be seen from the reaction of the coalition forces when they saw the autonomous mechanical aggregate during the previous attack on the Nossia galaxy.
For example, the Total who was captured by him did not have an antimatter annihilation bomb at the time. If he had one, Lin Xu believed that he would definitely throw one out at the first moment.
Because fear brings despair, but also makes people want to grasp every straw.
The antimatter annihilation bomb is precisely that life-saving straw.
Therefore, the more advanced civilizations fear humans, the more likely they will use the weapons that can give them the greatest sense of security at the first possible moment.
"Master, the Earth has entered the route, and the distance to the planetary fortress ahead is rapidly approaching." The Zhenxing on duty reminded.
The Earth has now entered the only channel of space turbulence, and the distance to the planetary fortress ahead is rapidly approaching.
Although the planetary fortress is blocking the entrance to the channel, this long channel is ten light years long, and the "porch" in front of the entrance alone is probably more than ten billion kilometers long, and this is only a few ten-thousandths of a light year.
Once entering the channel, there are space turbulence on both sides. Even the Earth has to temporarily slow down and adjust its state, otherwise it will accidentally rush into the space turbulence.
Not to mention rescuing the fairy ship, he himself was trapped.
As a result, the speed of the Earth quickly dropped from ten times the speed of light to only half the speed of light.
The sudden drop in speed, coupled with such a large target, heading straight for the planet fortress, made it impossible not to be discovered.
Next, it’s time for the brave to win when two meet in a narrow road.
"The first target is the antimatter annihilation bomb storage point, the second target is the antimatter annihilation bomb production base, and then disintegrate the enemy's defense line and completely destroy the planet fortress. Let's go."
At Lin Xu's command, a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates rose into the air from above the earth, gathered around the curvature engines to form temporary warships, and rushed towards the planetary fortress at a speed of twenty times the speed of light.
Although the Earth dare not move forward at full speed for the time being due to the influence of space turbulence on both sides and the narrowness of the waterway, autonomous mechanical aggregates that are small enough compared to a planet will be fine.
However, this time, compared with the defense system of the Nossia galaxy, which was previously just a distribution center for supplies, the defense system of the planetary fortress is not so easy to break.
At least it can't be like before, where the autonomous mechanical aggregate easily broke through the defense line without any loss and destroyed the entire material distribution center.
This time, as the Earth was discovered, the huge turrets surrounding the planetary fortress turned one by one and aimed their barrels at the makeshift warships that were flying in overwhelming numbers.
Then the ion railgun fired out plasma beams at a speed close to the speed of light.
The speed of these plasma beams is much slower than that of the makeshift warships, so it should not be difficult to avoid them.
But on such a battlefield, what is pursued is not precision strikes, but area strikes.
Endless plasma beams came like a wall, covering the sky and the earth. Even if you wanted to hide, where could you hide?
Then in an instant, countless makeshift warships were hit.
However, the first wave of attacks did not cause much damage to the temporary battleship, because the repulsion field defense on the temporary battleship blocked the ion beam.
But this was only the first wave of attacks, followed by the second, third, and fourth waves, which came endlessly.
Even if the temporary warships can block one or two waves, they will not be able to block all of them.
As a result, finally an autonomous mechanical aggregate was damaged and exploded in mid-air.
But it didn't matter. After the explosion, the intact parts of the autonomous mechanical aggregate quickly decomposed, discarded the damaged parts, and then combined with other autonomous machines nearby, so soon another autonomous mechanical aggregate appeared.
Then they reassembled into temporary battleships and continued to attack the defense line.
Of course, the temporary warships did not forget to fight back when rushing towards the defense line.
A large number of various attacks fell on the defense line, destroying each artillery position.
The fighting between the two sides quickly entered a white-hot stage.
Makeshift warships were constantly being destroyed and artillery positions were constantly being breached.
At the same time, the warships on the planet fortress also began to take off and fought with the temporary warships that crossed the artillery position.
At the same time, a large number of warships distributed in the space around the planet fortress also began to provide support to the planet fortress, and some even tried to besiege the earth.
It has to be said that in non-logistics positions, on real battlefields, the combat effectiveness of advanced civilizations is still remarkable.
It is totally different from the previous defense of the Nosia Galaxy.
However, in the battle between the two sides, the balance of victory quickly tilted towards the Earth.
Often, a temporary warship can fight back and forth with a dozen or even dozens of warships of the same size in a battle, and finally perish together.
You know, humans position the autonomous mechanical aggregates that make up temporary warships as consumables in war, just like drones.
Even for such consumables, advanced civilizations would need to exchange them for dozens or even hundreds of times more real warships.
Autonomous machines can run factories and replenish as much as they consume.
However, the warships of advanced civilizations cannot be replenished so quickly. Not only are the warships themselves replenished more slowly, but the personnel operating the warships are also replenished more slowly.
Even as the war was going on, factories on Earth were still operating, rapidly producing autonomous mechanical aggregates to replace the losses.
On the Earth side, the advantage was gained. Countless artillery batteries in the low-Earth orbit around the planet fortress were destroyed, and more and more temporary warships broke into the surface of the planet fortress.
Hidden among a large number of temporary warships, the temporary warship carrying antimatter annihilation bombs passed through the blockade line of low-Earth orbit and rushed to the surface of the planet fortress.
According to the defense map selflessly provided by the good man Mr. Total, this is the location where the advanced civilization stores the antimatter annihilation bombs.
The temporary battleship dropped an antimatter annihilation bomb.
At the same time, another temporary warship not far away dropped another antimatter annihilation bomb towards the antimatter extraction factory.
In the distance, above the Earth which was getting closer and closer to the planetary fortress, the full-system projection in front of Lin Xu broadcast the entire scene live.
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to watch the fireworks.
Lu Yao next to her was holding popcorn and Coke in her hands, and she even gave one to Miss Qiu and Mu Xiyue, looking like a bystander.
Then the planet fortress was detonated.
Just like the Earth-like planet that was detonated because humans conducted experiments with antimatter.
