237: Chapter 237 The Last Chance
This batch of warships would release a wave of hydrogen bombs and Antimatter bombs from high-altitude orbit... The casings of these weapons were made of a newly developed Super-Atomic Alloy material...
This material was extremely hard. Gao Yuan had tested it and found that, except for extremely high temperatures, other methods could hardly destroy it! Moreover, inspired by the previous Jupiter Triangular Crystals, these materials were manufactured into Triangular Crystals with internal oscillators. Once vibrating, they could penetrate deep into the rock...
Gao Yuan had suffered greatly from the Triangular Crystals before; now it was the aliens' turn to suffer!
After the release, the Human Fleet left posthaste...
But even so, they were discovered, and many warships pursued them from behind.
At this moment, two teams of gunships were hidden in the dark night sky ahead.
These gunships were very slow and carried high-yield hydrogen bombs inside, but they had the advantage of hiding in the darkness, isolated from all detection. Gao Yuan used these gunships as mines.
Just as the Human Fleet flew past, the gunships on both sides drifted slowly toward the area.
The pursuing fleet didn't notice these gunships at all.
Because the Human Fleet had just flown past...
So it didn't arouse any suspicion...
But when this fleet arrived...
Bang...
A warship crashed into a gunship.
Immediately, a chain reaction was triggered...
Dozens of gunships carrying hydrogen bombs began to explode in succession, the dazzling white light resembling a supernova explosion!
The front had already exploded, but the warships behind couldn't stop. At a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second, those warships could only crash one by one into the hydrogen bomb blast waves...
The intense high temperatures and high-energy rays destroyed these warships instantly.
The few warships that were lucky enough to rush through didn't even have time to celebrate before they saw a volley of Antimatter bombs ahead.
The fleeing human warships had already organized their formation and were now firing at them.
The volley covered a vast area and was extremely fast.
There was no way to dodge...
They could only activate their Energy Shields and tank it!
The shields were actually super-strong magnetic fields. They could block Antimatter bombs and Laser Cannons, but the Faster-Than-Light Particle Beams fired by the mechas directly breached the defenses... In the next moment, Laser Cannons directly destroyed the warships' hulls...
Gao Yuan watched this battle proceed with great satisfaction.
Space fireworks were good, but they weren't enough...
Gao Yuan was waiting for that planet to glow...
Sure enough, the hydrogen and Antimatter bombs released by the Human Fleet earlier had successfully landed and entered the rock layer of that planet.
A large number of defensive weapons on the unknown planet tried to destroy those Triangular Crystals.
But in such a short amount of time, they couldn't find a way at all.
No weapon fired at them could destroy those Triangular Crystals.
They could only watch helplessly as those crystals entered the ground.
Gao Yuan saw the information about those hydrogen bombs displayed on the light screen.
"It's time to glow!"
The hydrogen and Antimatter bombs that had entered the ground detonated instantly.
A massive amount of high-energy rays burst out from inside the planet.
As a Rogue Planet, those intelligent beings lived underground, but as the explosions began, many Underground Cities started to collapse...
Ion beams carrying ultra-high temperatures began to run rampant...
Many creatures were vaporized instantly without even knowing what happened.
Through the probes, Gao Yuan saw a large amount of light suddenly emit from that dark planet.
Although it was just a small bright spot, Gao Yuan's mood brightened immediately.
This maneuver could be said to have directly taken half the life out of that unknown civilization.
Their strength was greatly reduced.
Since the battle had begun, it could only end with one side being annihilated.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the planet, Gao Yuan had a large number of fleets continue their attack.
A large number of Antimatter bombs and miniature hydrogen bombs flew toward that planet...
Their ground defense systems had now been mostly destroyed by the nuclear explosions and Antimatter bombs.
Now was the perfect time to attack.
A massive amount of free Antimatter bombs were dropped...
Passing through the thin atmosphere, they landed on the surface of the unknown planet and bloomed one after another.
However, a civilization capable of fleeing with a planet was also extremely resilient.
Half the surface area of the entire planet had been bombed, yet Gao Yuan still saw organized formations of aircraft taking off from the surface to launch a charge against the Human Fleet.
These aircraft had an extremely fast rate of fire, exceeding a thousand rounds per second...
They were all miniature bullets, so dense they formed a barrage in the sky.
Because the power of these bullets was unknown, no warship would engage them head-on.
They fired laser beams from a distance, which formed a screen of light with extremely high temperatures... These bullets began to melt as soon as they entered the light screen.
...
In this battle, only a few warships of the Human Fleet were damaged.
The fleet on that planet finally abandoned their planet and fled.
And they were extremely fast, vanishing in an instant.
Gao Yuan looked shocked.
He summoned Gao Gan.
"You saw the combat video just now, right? How did the enemy fleet disappear?"
"They didn't disappear; they flew away. Our probes can detect the traces they left behind!"
"Then why didn't we see them?"
"Faster-Than-Light Flight! Even light can't catch up, which is why the scene of instant disappearance occurs!"
This...
Is it possible?
Gao Yuan looked at Gao Gan: "You told me that even the Polaris people didn't have the ability for Faster-Than-Light Flight. How could this civilization do it?"
"I don't know either!"
Gao Gan remembered...
When he left the Solar System, he had once discovered Su Dai's warship in the Oort Cloud.
Theoretically, he shouldn't have appeared in that position without being detected, but he was only blocked after flying to the edge of the Solar System!
There was only one possibility! The Development General Administration back then had also mastered the secrets of Faster-Than-Light Flight, but how did they do it?
Gao Gan didn't know.
"It seems we can only solve this mystery by landing on that planet and finding their remaining data!"
"Fine, send people up to search!"
Soon, the Human Fleet began landing on the planet.
There were still remaining alien creatures on the planet.
These creatures were rounded up.
All the data found inside was moved to the aerospace carrier for decryption. Since they had biological samples, decryption was quite simple.
...
A few months later, the data was compiled.
Gao Yuan looked at the data and finally knew why they could perform faster-than-light travel.
Strong magnetic fields pull on the gravitational field, causing space to warp and forming a Subspace.
This flight mode had many drawbacks.
First, the flight process takes place in Subspace, so attacks cannot be made. Second, it requires establishing a powerful magnetic and gravitational field environment.
A gravitational field requires a celestial body.
Gao Yuan and his people had always been a wandering fleet without a planet, so they naturally couldn't conduct experiments in this area.
Now that the creatures on that planet had fled, since they could perform faster-than-light travel, it meant there must be a strong magnetic field on that planet...
