216: Chapter 216 Attack

Following Gao Yuan's command.

The four thousand Antimatter Engines located on the near side of the moon started up.

Four thousand massive exhaust plumes ejected a vast amount of lunar soil toward Earth, and the moon began to slowly move away from Earth.

On Earth, the oceans suddenly began to turn violent.

Waves grew higher and higher, eventually reaching a hundred meters!

The waves continuously devoured the cities and land along the coastline.

Earth's already unstable interior became even more active at this moment.

Volcanoes erupted from the seabed, with smoke columns reaching ten thousand meters into the sky.

Gao Yuan watched this scene with infinite emotion in his heart.

From now on...

There would be no more Earth.

Humanity's... roots were gone!

The fragile gravitational balance between the Earth and the moon was quickly broken.

Driven by inertia, the moon began to rapidly move away from Earth, while Gao Yuan began to control the Planetary Engines on the moon to fine-tune its direction.

This was a long process; even by the most optimistic estimates, it would take two months for the moon to fly to the Jupiter Sector, so the schedule Gao Yuan had previously listed was simply impossible!

Fortunately, Gao Yuan didn't need to be accountable to anyone; if it was late, it was late, it didn't matter.

In space, the Earth and moon separated for the first time, and the moon finally became the only planet in the Solar System without a natural satellite.

Without the moon's gravity, Earth's orbit began to adjust and became unstable, with its axial tilt wobbling back and forth.

Gao Yuan took one last look at Earth.

He piloted the moon toward Jupiter.

If it were just the moon leaving, the impact on the Solar System wouldn't be that great.

It was believed that before long, the Solar System would return to a state of balance.

But now that the moon was flying toward Jupiter...

The impact would be far too significant.

In the Solar System, the Sun accounts for 99% of the mass, while all other celestial bodies make up the remaining 1%. Of that 1%, Jupiter accounts for ninety percent!

If Jupiter were to explode...

No one in the Solar System would be safe.

Now, Gao Yuan was going to blow up Jupiter.

Perhaps other civilizations didn't know what Gao Yuan intended to do before.

But when the moon began to adjust its direction and fly toward Jupiter, almost all civilizations in the Solar System were stunned.

"What are the Third Planet people trying to do? They're flipping the table!"

"Stop him quickly, or we'll all be finished together!"

"How can the Third Planet people be so wicked? They want to drag everyone down with them!"

Gao Yuan couldn't care less.

Now it all depended on who was tougher!

Whoever was tougher would win!

However, other civilizations didn't think that way.

On the fifteenth day after Gao Yuan set off with the moon.

The fleet guarding the moon's perimeter was ambushed.

Even though Gao Yuan had used all sorts of reconnaissance methods...

He still hadn't discovered the ambush ahead.

Right in front, a fleet floated quietly in the universe, as silent as ghosts in the darkness.

Any rays passing through the front showed no reaction.

Zhou Lin, the Commander of the Aerospace Force's first unit, was looking at the information returned by various detectors as usual.

"Commander Zhou, by order of the Marshal, heighten your vigilance. If necessary, release Swarm Drones for detection!!"

The figure of Mo Yun, Gao Yuan's Assistant Staff Officer, popped up on the communicator.

"Assistant Mo, received! I'll release the swarm now!"

Gao Yuan always felt that the current calm was unnatural; any civilization should know what he was about to do, and by then, no one in the Solar System would be safe.

Logically, someone would surely come to stop him.

But after half a month of travel, it was unusually quiet.

Gao Yuan felt something was wrong, so he ordered heightened vigilance.

Sometimes, the higher the technology, the more likely it is to be countered. Thus, Gao Yuan still retained a large number of drone reconnaissance methods. These drones used miniature Nuclear Fusion engines and weren't fast; they were originally intended for land warfare, but since the moon was moving slowly, the entire fleet's speed was also slow.

The Swarm Drones could densely probe the area ahead...

At this moment, while releasing the swarm, Zhou Lin was also chatting with his adjutant beside him.

"The Marshal wants the swarm released. With so many radars and detectors finding nothing unusual, can a primitive method like drones really be effective?"

"Quiet. Just do whatever the Marshal says!"

Zhou Lin curled his lip: "Fair enough, then we'll just do as he says!"

Tens of thousands of Swarm Drones were deployed.

Zhou Lin lay leisurely in his command chair.

The detectors had long since finished scanning 100,000 kilometers ahead; it would probably take the drone swarm a whole day to finish scanning those 100,000 kilometers!

Just as he lay down...

Suddenly, the alarm lights in the command room began to flash.

[Warning, warning, enemy attack!]

Zhou Lin jumped up instantly.

Where was the enemy attack?

He looked at the screen, which displayed information sent back by the drones...

Enemy situation detected 5,000 kilometers ahead.

In space combat, 5,000 kilometers was no different from being face-to-face; a Laser Cannon could strike in 0.01 seconds.

"Holy crap... Unit One, enter battle formation, spread out! All ships prepare to engage the enemy!"

Before his words could even land.

A cluster of red dots appeared on the screen—those were the drone swarms that had lost contact.

"Hiss... 85 degrees ahead, distance 5,000 kilometers. Squads one, two, and three, volley fire with Laser Cannons! Squads four, five, and six, prepare Antimatter Cannons!"

Zhou Lin was going crazy...

Following his order, dozens of warships ahead flashed with white light, and tens of thousands of high-energy lasers shot forward!

Looking from a distance, it was like a row of flashlights being waved...

Gao Yuan could see those high-energy laser beams seem to flicker for a moment before disappearing into the distance.

"Laser Cannons are useless!"

Zhou Lin obviously knew as well that against an enemy who could hide right in front of them, Laser Cannons would most likely be useless.

By then, the dozens of warships in the rear had already prepared their Antimatter Cannons.

Dozens of antimatter shells whistled as they swept forward.

There was finally a reaction ahead.

Zhou Lin saw the radar turn red, and on the screen, hundreds of Droplet-shaped warships ahead blocked their path!

Just as the antimatter shells swept past, those warships moved, beginning to ascend rapidly...

At that moment, those antimatter shells began to track the warships.

In the next instant, dense points of light erupted from those warships, forming a fire net that directly covered the antimatter shells...

Boom...

Several clusters of fireworks bloomed in space.

Zhou Lin's gaze turned cold; the Antimatter Cannons hadn't worked.

"Three-round rapid fire!"

Zhou Lin commanded.

The super-sun class battleships were much stronger than the previous moon-class battleships; if it were a moon-class battleship, it would have no choice but to flee after a single antimatter shot.

And it wouldn't be able to flee far!

While Zhou Lin was commanding, Mo Yun appeared on the communicator again.

"Commander Zhou, form a Microwave Array with Unit Two!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Lin had no time to think and immediately executed the order...

Just as they changed formation, a cluster of white light dots appeared on the screen.

"Holy crap... we're toast!"

Boom...

From the moon, Gao Yuan watched as dozens of his warships turned into fragments and fell toward Earth!

"Order the Third Fleet to move up and continue forming the Microwave Array..."

"Yes, Marshal!"

Mo Yun went to execute the order.

Gao Yuan's current position was the original Guanghan Palace Base! Beneath this moon, there were still those Triangular Crystal Creatures..."}],
