106: Chapter 106 Spatial Warp! Target: Kuiper Belt!
The edge of the Solar System, the Kuiper Belt.
Inside the main control room of the Star Core Race's giant mothership.
The image on the holographic screen was completely frozen on a screen full of static.
The Silver-Armored Commander, nearly three meters tall, slammed a fist heavily onto the console in front of him.
A deep dent was smashed directly into the hard alloy surface.
"Damn it! The intelligence department is a bunch of incompetent fools!"
The commander's rage was poured directly into the brains of all the navigators present via mental power, leaving many of them dizzy.
"You call this a low-level native who hasn't even left their home star system? The black cannon barrel that appeared in the footage just now had a caliber of at least one hundred meters! This is definitely the configuration of a heavy capital ship!"
The crystal on the adjutant's forehead flickered wildly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Commander, all remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine reconnaissance aircraft have lost contact. They collided with an unanalyzable energy barrier and were instantly melted."
The commander took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.
Earth was not just a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered; on the contrary, it had become a tough nut to crack.
"The entire fleet is to enter Level 1 combat readiness. Charge the main cannons, and set shield power to maximum."
"Maintain a dense defensive formation and advance at one percent the speed of light. If any unknown targets are discovered, fire immediately without warning."
Hundreds of silver-gray interstellar warships immediately changed formation.
The blue energy patterns on the surface of the warships all lit up, and deep blue shields wrapped the entire fleet tightly.
The massive fleet, like a spiked iron bucket, slowly sailed out of the asteroid belt.
Earth's low Earth orbit.
Inside the bridge command center of the black hole-class star destroyer, the atmosphere was completely different.
There was no tense atmosphere at all.
Chu Feng sat on the black captain's throne.
Just a moment ago, using only a single close-in defense secondary cannon, he had blasted the alien reconnaissance aircraft that had snuck in into atomic states.
"Boss. All remaining enemy reconnaissance aircraft have crashed into the planetary defense grid."
The mother nest ai's voice was very calm, "The enemy fleet is moving slowly toward Earth. It is approximately fifty astronomical units away from us."
Chu Feng leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the cold metal armrest.
He did not like passive defense.
Since he had five heavy star destroyer that crushed the opponent in performance, there was no reason to hide in a turtle shell and wait for others to come knocking.
"Open the door." Chu Feng issued the order.
"The defense grid is about to open a warp channel."
Chu Feng turned his head to look at the alien maid, Ling, who was kneeling beside the throne.
Ling was still wearing her tight-fitting black combat suit today.
Her water-blue long hair draped softly over her back.
Chu Feng reached out his rough, large hand, pinched Ling's delicate chin, and forced her to look up.
"Your people are rushing here to die. Any thoughts?"
Chu Feng looked into her ice-blue eyes.
Ling's body trembled slightly.
"Great Master." Ling's voice was ethereal and submissive, "They are not just coming to die; they are coming to offer you spoils of war. To die under the Master's cannon is their honor."
Hearing such hollow, blustering words from a high-level alien navigator, this sense of contrast was very pleasing to Chu Feng.
He let go.
"Prepare for warp. Target coordinates: the outer space of the Kuiper Belt."
The order was instantly transmitted through the mother nest ai to the core processors of every warship.
The five black hole-class star destroyer and ten Aegis-class Frigate docked in the orbital shipyard simultaneously erupted with dazzling dark purple light from their rear dark matter reactors.
Massive energy gathered around the warships.
The cosmic space in front began to twist violently, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake.
A massive space wormhole with a diameter exceeding twenty kilometers slowly took shape. Inside the wormhole, strange, colorful lights flickered.
"Level 3 space warp engine activated."
"All fleet, enter the warp channel."
Fifteen pitch-black steel behemoths, arranged in a neat combat formation, slowly sailed into the space wormhole.
The energy defense grid around Earth quickly closed, returning to a cloaked state.
Inside the warp channel.
The surrounding scenery turned into countless elongated lines of light.
There was not a hint of turbulence inside the warships.
The strong phase-change armor and dark energy deflector shields perfectly isolated the violent forces of space tearing outside.
It only took a few minutes.
Deep within the Kuiper Belt.
In the pitch-black cosmic vacuum, a massive vortex suddenly appeared.
Countless massive meteorites floating in the vicinity were shattered directly by the force of spatial repulsion.
Fifteen pitch-black warships drilled directly out of the vortex, spanning across the interstellar space.
Less than one hundred thousand kilometers in front of them was the Star Core Race's 7th Fleet.
Inside the Star Core Race's mothership main control room.
A piercing, highest-level alarm instantly blared.
Red light turned everyone's faces deathly pale.
"Report, Commander! At one hundred thousand kilometers directly ahead, ultra-high-intensity space warp fluctuations have been detected!"
"An unknown fleet has suddenly appeared! Numbering fifteen ships!"
The Silver-Armored Commander turned around abruptly, staring fixedly at the holographic star map.
The star map displayed a 3D model of the enemy fleet.
When he saw the size of the five warships in the very center, the commander's purple-red crystal flickered violently, and he gasped.
"Heavy capital ships five kilometers in length?! And five of them deployed at once?!"
In interstellar warfare, the size of a warship often directly represents the upper limit of energy output and the thickness of its armor.
In this Star Core Race fleet, apart from the massive mothership, the hundreds of frigates and cruisers were only a few hundred meters long.
Although the opponent only had fifteen ships, these five black behemoths, five kilometers long, created a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Immediately send an unencrypted communication request! Ask for their identity! Perhaps this is not a fleet of Earth natives, but a passing advanced civilization!" The commander made a prompt decision.
He dared not fire easily.
Once he provoked an advanced civilization possessing warships of this caliber, the entire 7th Fleet would be instantly crushed.
A complex universal cosmic radio signal was quickly sent to the black fleet opposite.
The black hole-class star destroyer, bridge command center.
Chu Feng sat steadily on the throne.
On the holographic screen, the dense silver-gray Star Core Race fleet ahead was displayed.
"Boss, we have received an unencrypted communication request from the other side." The mother nest ai reported.
"Connect."
The screen flashed, and a half-body projection of the Star Core Race's Silver-Armored Commander appeared.
Seeing that the being sitting on the screen was actually a human-form creature, the commander was stunned for a moment, then saw Ling kneeling beside Chu Feng.
"Navigator XN-07?! How could you be with Earth natives!"
The commander exclaimed in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Ling gave no response, just lowered her head and knelt quietly at Chu Feng's feet.
Chu Feng had no interest in chatting with a dying man.
He opened the communication to let the other side die with understanding.
"Welcome to the Solar System." Chu Feng curled his lips into a cold arc, his tone filled with an absolute sense of control, "Unfortunately, Earth does not welcome you."
"Cut the communication. Pre-heat the main cannons."
The holographic screen closed instantly.
The Star Core Race commander's projection disappeared.
The bow position of the black hole-class star destroyer.
The super-large main cannon barrel with a caliber exceeding one hundred meters extended outward.
The dark matter reactor inside the barrel operated at full power, and deep, dark purple light began to gather frantically.
Under the pull of the massive energy, black cracks visible to the naked eye appeared in the surrounding cosmic space.
"Dark Energy Annihilation Cannon charging progress: thirty percent... fifty percent..."
A mechanical electronic voice echoed within the bridge.
The ten Aegis-class Frigate immediately dispersed, forming a semi-circular defensive formation, protecting the five star destroyer in the center.
The laser interception systems on the surface of the frigates were all activated, ready to intercept the enemy's counterattack at any time.
The opposing Star Core Race fleet was in a complete panic.
"They are charging their main cannons! Energy readings have broken through the warning value! The detectors cannot calculate an upper limit!"
The adjutant's voice was hoarse, filled with fear.
The Silver-Armored Commander's eyes were splitting with rage.
The Earth natives actually mastered heavy capital ships!
And they didn't give any chance for negotiation at all, starting off with a full-power main cannon bombardment.
"Fire, entire fleet! Interrupt their charging! All shields focus on the front!"
The commander roared at the top of his lungs.
Hundreds of Star Core Race warships fired simultaneously.
Dense blue plasma beams and high-explosive antimatter torpedoes poured toward Chu Feng's fleet like a torrential rain.
Space was instantly filled with colorful energy light.
However.
The ten frigates on Chu Feng's side did not retreat at all.
The dark energy deflector shields on their surfaces lit up with dazzling black light.
All plasma beams that hit the shields were forcibly refracted away.
The antimatter torpedoes were detonated in advance by the dense close-in defense laser grid before they could get close, exploding into fireballs in space.
The joint volley from hundreds of enemy warships couldn't even break the frigates' defensive line.
Let alone harming the star destroyer behind them.
The crushing superiority of technology was vividly displayed at this moment.
One minute passed in a flash.
"Dark Energy Annihilation Cannon charging complete. Target locked: enemy right-wing frigate cluster."
Chu Feng sat on the throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.
"Fire."
The moment the order was given.
The black hole-class star destroyer at the very front erupted from its bow with a light ten million times more blinding than a star.
A dark purple beam with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters instantly tore through the pitch-black cosmic space.
Wherever the beam passed, the massive meteorites along the way were directly vaporized.
The speed of the beam reached the speed of light.
The distance of one hundred thousand kilometers did not even require the time of a blink.
The more than one hundred frigates on the right wing of the Star Core Race didn't even have time to perform evasive maneuvers.
The deep blue energy shields were as fragile as paper in front of this dark purple beam; they didn't even manage to block it for 0.1 seconds and were directly pierced through.
The beam swept straight through the formation of the right-wing fleet.
