310: Chapter 310 Intimidation!

"Third-Party Technology Sun Disc Space Station First Weapons Firing Test."

In this treacherous global situation, Third-Party Technology, as one of the key players, abruptly started a global live stream.

Instantly, the eyes of the entire World were focused on the screen of this live stream. It was a massive ring-shaped space station, orbiting at high speed.

At this moment, the Sun Disc in the frame, after a period of construction, had a main ring diameter of over five hundred meters. Dozens of sturdy supports extended from the outer side of the ring, holding supply modules and monitoring stations. It stood as a whole in the pitch-black Universe, with the stars becoming its backdrop, looking more massive and imposing than any other spacecraft.

Below it lay that beautiful blue Planet where humanity resides.

This was a space behemoth humanity had never seen before, yet anyone could see it was far from finished. Reserved expansion interfaces were visible in many places on the ring, clearly intended to extend toward a larger space Base.

Yet, just its current scale alone was enough to shock the entire World.

In the center of the frame, a clear countdown appeared, showing that there was less than an hour left.

[ 29 : 55 : 36 ]

[ 29 : 55 : 35 ]

[ 29 : 55 : 32 ]

...

Looking at this live stream, exclamations rang out all over the World. With the massive space station and this thought-provoking countdown, many people guessed what this company was about to do.

It was going to fire Space-Based Weapons!

At this critical juncture, the company's actions clearly showed it was going head-to-head with various nations.

Consequently, the World became even more restless.

Countless people were anxious and scratching their heads, completely unaware of what had happened. Why, in such a short time, had this company come to such a tense, hostile standoff with various nations?

"Heh, I'm like a badger that can't find any melons; let it all be destroyed!"

"Goodness, how did Space-Based Weapons even appear? I must not be awake yet."

"How much does our government actually know? Why won't they tell us? We have a right to know what is threatening our lives!"

"Just watch, after the fighting is over, history books will summarize this in one sentence: Due to irreconcilable contradictions, Third-Party Technology and multiple nations broke out into conflict, resulting in countless casualties, and we are just one of those countless members."

"Wait, didn't this company start out selling weight-loss pills? How did it suddenly turn into this?"

"Yeah, I was just watching a short drama they filmed..."

"..."

At this very moment, Lin Fang, located in the top office of the Civilization Spire, was listening to Xiao Hei's report. Xiao Hei's voice still held excitement, playful like a child's.

[Boss, there are only 10 minutes left until the launch time. After we started showing the space station, various nations stopped their actions against us. No one dares to act rashly anymore; they are all waiting for the results of this experiment.]

"Heh, seems it was quite effective."

Lin Fang's eyes flickered. "We already slapped them in the face by capturing those people. If there hadn't been any sanctions against us, I would have been surprised instead."

Looking at the projection in front of him, Lin Fang sneered coldly.

"Let this shot be the beginning of our military threat to the World. I want to see what they will think after this shot is fired."

The Sun Disc space station on the projection began to change. A previously sealed structure at its bottom opened, and simultaneously, a menacing cannon barrel with a diameter of twelve meters slowly extended out.

Electromagnetic Railgun!

This was the main weapon used by the Sun Disc space station. Its principle was consistent with the Gauss Rifle used by Verland soldiers; the core was electromagnetic acceleration.

But the difference was that the projectile used by this main cannon was a solid shell with a diameter of twelve meters, made entirely of black gold alloy. Embedded at its tip was five grams of antimatter.

Relying on the energy of the Sun Disc space station, this solid shell could be instantly accelerated to over 6,000 kilometers per second. Even without antimatter, it could unleash power exceeding that of thousands of high-yield nuclear bombs, capable of leveling a mega-city and penetrating thousands of meters of rock strata.

And the antimatter embedded in the projectile was also highly effective; the energy released at the moment of matter-antimatter annihilation would form an energy storm sweeping across a hundred kilometers, turning the surrounding hundred miles into scorched Earth where nothing could grow.

Hmm...

To be honest, the cost of this shell was much higher than all those people down there combined. It was really too good for them.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Fang did not hesitate.

"Xiao Hei, start charging. Fire when the countdown ends."

[Xiao Hei received.]

The moment Xiao Hei responded, an alarm sound immediately rang out from the Sun Disc, which was far away at an altitude of 40,000 kilometers.

"Warning, Number One Electromagnetic Railgun is about to activate. All personnel and units, evacuate the danger zone immediately. Repeat, all personnel and units, evacuate the danger zone immediately."

Accompanied by red warning lights, Xiao Hei replaced the smart system inside the space station in the blink of an eye, and a calm, emotionless electronic voice resounded throughout the entire space station.

The staff nearby immediately stopped all actions and quickly left the area, heading toward the green zone.

"Danger zone isolation doors are descending..."

"External operating units have all been recovered..."

"Liquid helium circulation system check complete, operating at full power..."

"Number One Electromagnetic Railgun preheating complete, beginning target lock."

"Target lock complete..."

Under the horrified gaze of the people of the World, the massive cannon barrel beneath the space station made slight adjustments, aiming at an island in the Atlantic Ocean below.

To facilitate their observation, a separate window for this island was even added to the live stream.

My God, this company was not bluffing. The barrage in the live stream, watched by over a billion people, was sparse. Everyone held their breath, preparing to witness this historical moment.

Officials from various nations were also watching.

Someone, upon seeing this island, suddenly thought of something. Their eyes widened, and their hands and feet turned cold. This company was actually...

"Charging complete, launch countdown, ten..."

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

The blue light on the barrel became increasingly intense, with electric arcs crawling along the tube walls, like a dormant deep-space behemoth about to awaken, preparing to reveal its sharpness to the World.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Everyone only saw a blazing white beam of light, more dazzling than a star, shoot out from the muzzle. It instantly broke the limits of vision, turning into a stream of light that dove toward Earth. The distance of 40,000 kilometers was covered in a flash, leaving only a tiny point of blazing white light!

Within seconds, the point of light accurately struck the target island in the Atlantic Ocean. Black smoke, mixed with Water vapor, shot up into the sky and did not dissipate for a long time.

When they were able to see clearly, they realized that this island had already disappeared from Earth, and it was difficult to find any traces of its existence.

The entire World fell into dead silence...
