228: Chapter 228 Titan

Gao Yuan did not speak.

He felt that his mind had been unsettled by the news brought by the Fire King and Gao Qiu.

In truth, he just needed to follow his plan and do what he had to do.

For example...

Dealing with the Saturnian civilization now!

Saturn was also affected by the Jupiter winds, but the impact was limited.

At this moment, they were still a hundred million kilometers away from Saturn, but Gao Yuan had already initiated a high state of alert.

The monitoring technology of the Venusian fleet was more advanced than that of humans; they could achieve dynamic optical stealth, and a large number of Venusian unmanned probes were clearing the way ahead...

The detection range exceeded ten million kilometers!

They didn't encounter any fleets along the way.

This surprised Gao Yuan somewhat.

"Old Huo, do you think Saturn has a fleet?"

"I don't know!"

Just as he finished speaking, the Fire King's expression suddenly changed: "The probes ahead have lost contact!"

Lost contact?

Losing contact during such a sensitive period meant they had surely come under attack.

Gao Yuan was taken aback.

He immediately ordered a high state of alert, with all fleets preparing for battle and mechs standing by for deployment.

"Strange, there are no electromagnetic fluctuations; everything seems normal. But why did our probes lose contact? As long as there's a craft, regardless of its form, there must be electromagnetic fluctuations!"

Said the Fire King.

Gao Yuan nodded.

As long as they were still within the Solar System, the basic laws of physics would not change. A craft could be stealthed or silent, but once it launched an attack or used propulsion, it would inevitably be accompanied by electromagnetic fluctuations.

"Try a volley toward the area where the probes lost contact!"

"Wait, I'll launch a round of Electromagnetic pulses!"

Electromagnetic pulses are a type of pulse weapon.

For instance, the Electromagnetic Cannons used by Gao Yuan and the others are a type of pulse weapon.

However, the Electromagnetic pulse the Fire King mentioned was different from an Electromagnetic Cannon.

This kind of Electromagnetic pulse was a full-spectrum nuclear Electromagnetic pulse that could affect any electronic device.

During the first sneak attack on Earth by the Venus-Mercury Allied Forces, Gao Yuan's robot brigade had its chips fried by Electromagnetic pulses, causing the robots to spiral out of control.

Gao Yuan nodded...

Soon, the Venusian fleet began releasing Electromagnetic pulses. These pulse waves could be continuously charged and released instantly, with a release frequency as high as 10 MHz!

Electronic components made of any material would be fried under Electromagnetic pulses of such frequency, unless... they were superconductors!

Gao Yuan believed that if there were any craft ahead, they would certainly be damaged in this wave of Electromagnetic pulse attacks.

But as the Electromagnetic pulse waves were emitted, covering an area of ten million kilometers ahead...

...there was still no reaction.

Those earlier Venusian probes seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Gao Yuan was stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Two possibilities: one, the enemy is extremely fast and attacked the probes from a distance, shattering them instantly; two, the enemy's craft are made of superconducting materials with stealth capabilities!"

Gao Yuan frowned...

The probes were shattered in a single blow without any trace being detected, which meant the enemy's attack was very powerful—at least a whole level above Earth and Venus! However, logic told Gao Yuan that this was impossible...

If the enemy were truly that powerful, they would have unified the Solar System long ago.

Since the first was impossible, only the second remained.

While superconductors seemed sci-fi, they were at least within their realm of understanding.

"superconductors?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes..."

"Then we'll need Electromagnetic Cannons!"

Gao Yuan said.

Since the enemy was hiding in the dark, they couldn't be too far away. Thus... Gao Yuan ordered over a thousand warships to activate their Electromagnetic Cannons...

The next moment...

Thousands of metal projectiles whistled as they hurtled forward.

The momentum was staggering, but once they were actually flying, they were silent.

Because there was no air resistance or oxygen, the Electromagnetic Cannon projectiles were slow compared to the speed of light or Electromagnetic pulses, but they were sufficient for now.

The projectiles weren't large, either—even smaller than most meteorites.

The next moment...

The Fire King saw a group of black warships beginning to flee within that dark region on the monitor!

But it was already too late.

As a round of Electromagnetic Cannon fire slammed into them, warships continuously turned into fireworks.

"Go, collect the warship fragments. It would be best if we could capture one!"

superconductors!

If humans had superconductors, their attack power could be increased significantly.

Since the attack had worked, it meant the enemy was indeed using superconductors.

Gao Yuan thought it was too extravagant. The few high-temperature superconductors humans possessed had to be maintained at -191 degrees Celsius, much like a pulse release.

Heat also had to be constantly extracted from the laboratory to ensure the superconductors remained at -191 degrees.

Yet here, these Jovians could actually build such massive warships using superconductors; this was definitely a civilization worth plundering.

Gao Yuan began pursuing the fleet ahead.

He pursued them all the way to Titan, where they encountered an ambush.

Around Titan was a microwave array, identical to the one Gao Yuan had previously deployed between the Moon and Earth.

However, it was on a much smaller scale.

Gao Yuan immediately began a long-range nuclear missile attack.

Nuclear missiles still had great advantages; even if intercepted, they would produce a large amount of high-energy radiation and Electromagnetic pulses.

They continuously destroyed the infrastructure of the planet below.

This great war lasted for fifteen days...

The civilization on Titan began a large-scale exodus.

Gao Yuan began broadcasting directly via brainwaves.

"Surrender and you shall be spared... The Solar System is one!"

This was also the inspiration Gao Yuan had gained from the Venus-Fire King incident: he didn't need to completely annihilate everyone. If he could absorb them, perhaps he would have a better chance against Advanced Civilizations.

Whether they were Saturnians, Venusians, or Earthlings, they were essentially the same.

Their genes were roughly the same, and they were all test subjects of Advanced Civilizations.

Gao Yuan believed the other side could certainly decode the radio waves he was emitting.

Sure enough, before long, craft arrived to surrender.

However, for safety, all surrendering craft were restricted to a specific airspace; most of these were civilian vessels.

Gao Yuan began to establish a presence on Jupiter VI.

After every major battle, supplies needed to be replenished and warships repaired.

Soon, Gao Yuan built a massive base on Titan.

Inside the base, Gao Yuan directly obtained the complete data of the Saturnians.

This included the superconductors Gao Yuan coveted...

This superconductor was a mineral found beneath Titan's south pole; it only required simple smelting to become the superconductor used for building warships...

Gao Yuan performed an upgrade by combining the superconductors with existing materials.

With superconductors, the Laser Cannons were upgraded once again!

Gao Yuan planned to rest and reorganize here for two months, and while he was at it, sweep through the Jupiter Sector!

Complete the integration of the Jupiter civilization.

The process went very smoothly...

Now, Gao Yuan was prepared to set out for the final bastions of the Solar System.

Uranus and Neptune were located on the outskirts of the Solar System; this was the system's frigid zone, and Gao Yuan didn't know what kind of civilizations could be born under such conditions.
