Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348
Several minutes later, the Photon Elf reappeared and coiled around Du You’s wrist.
"How’s it going? Can’t the Photon Elf control it either? Looks like we still have to fight it out," Lin Yushi said, rubbing her hands together eagerly.
With their strength, even if they couldn’t destroy the entire fortress, causing chaos was certainly feasible. Perhaps, they could even make the decaying fortress completely collapse.
Du You shook his head, "No, it’s not entirely useless. Although it’s rated as tier seven, this interstellar fortress isn’t a complete whole but divided into different areas. Many of the less critical areas have numerous loopholes, and the Photon Elf was able to obtain some intelligence from them, although it couldn’t take control."
Indeed, these weren’t exactly loopholes but more due to the inherent limitations of the Photon Elf. Once the electronic devices exceed their level, the Photon Elf couldn’t handle them and couldn’t infiltrate at all.
Even if the Photon Elf had the capability to infiltrate, it would be risky. If it encountered something like antivirus software, the Photon Elf could even get hurt.
"What intelligence? Let’s check it out together," Lin Yucha said with interest.
Now there was no one on this warship, so they idled in the harbor, temporarily unseen by anyone. Or rather, since its creation, this interstellar fortress had never experienced invaders.
A panel-like interface appeared on the Photon Elf on his wrist, displaying the information they desired, just as if it was an additional special wristwatch.
"Look, the entire interstellar fortress is divided into eight tiers. If you include the surface level, that makes nine. The surface only has weapons, the first level is the harbor tier, the second is military, the third logistics. The fourth tier is residential, where all residents and soldiers live, and the fifth tier is for agriculture, with conditions simulated for plant growth."
"Next, the sixth tier is the power layer, which has long been in disrepair. Otherwise, with the power layer’s power, it would be enough to allow the whole fortress to fly at high speed and even directly perform large-scale space teleportation."
"The subsequent seventh tier is also a power layer, with the high-temperature planetary core as power, almost endless. This is probably why interstellar fortresses can only be fashioned from planets."
Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi both nodded, agreeing with this view. Without a powerful power source, how could such a fortress be driven?
"What about the last layer? That seems to be the core of the entire planet?"
"That’s right, the last layer is the core layer, which is almost uninhabitable. But each interstellar fortress’s core weapon is installed here. This fortress is from an earlier production, so it doesn’t have other weapons beyond a tier seven rating, just the Planetary Compression Cannon at the core."
The principles and some simple blueprints of the Planetary Compression Cannon appeared on the screen. With their intellect, they easily understood.
The so-called Planetary Compression Cannon essentially uses a planet’s enormous mass, compressing it towards the planetary core. The terrifying force of this compression, if harnessed properly and released suddenly, would be extremely destructive. The Planetary Compression Cannon was created to utilize this force.
Based on the force of intra-planetary pressure release, once the Planetary Compression Cannon is activated, the released force could penetrate any planet within a range spanning a light-year instantaneously.
Even a star would be penetrated by this concentrated force. They weren’t sure if a tier-seven fighter could withstand this, but the penetrated planet definitely wouldn’t hold and would gradually disintegrate and collapse.
"For the weapon’s safety, the Planetary Compression Cannon isn’t connected with electronic devices. The interior is a completely different system, relying on manual operation to fire, and this is our opportunity."
"The master doesn’t plan to use the Planetary Compression Cannon against themselves, does he? That’s a good idea."
"Of course, it’s a good idea. Now, let’s first learn how to use this thing. Once we’ve learned it, we’ll make our move. This time, the main effort will need Yucha’s help."
Lin Yucha smiled and nodded firmly, "Master, just watch me, there won’t be any problems."
After so many years of collaboration, who didn’t know whom? Du You, of course, was confident. "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Even if we fail, making a big scene here will still help us upgrade our domain to tier-six."
Of course, succeeding would be even better since it would pose a significant threat to any major force. As long as he was safe, no one would dare meddle with his territory ever again. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Sure enough, not long after they became familiar with the operation, the three swiftly appeared at the harbor, the first tier. Surveying their surroundings, they didn’t notice any traces of people. Soon after, Lin Yucha made her move. The Spatial Spirit activated, drilling down through the walls into the next tier.
Du You’s Spiritual Perception couldn’t penetrate such thick walls, so Shadow Teleport was of no use here. Lin Yushi’s Space Teleportation would require shooting arrows, thus unfeasible. Only Lin Yucha’s Spatial Spirit could move independently of her and penetrate downward, as there was no spatial protection between the tiers.
The maximum teleportation distance for the Spatial Spirit was 3.1 miles, and the gaps between each tier weren’t that wide.
If it weren’t for this, their plan would have been extremely difficult to execute. But shortly after the three made their move, the base finally realized something was amiss. An alarm suddenly started resonating, echoing across the nearby area.
"Let’s go." Seeing robot troops approaching from afar, Lin Yucha suddenly spoke, then activated the Spatial Spirit, and the three of them vanished. When they reappeared, they had entered the second tier, the military level.
Perhaps because this tier was a military fortress, the response was especially swift. Various warplanes and flying soldiers flocked to the area. "Yucha, you continue; we’ll handle these."
Du You no longer concealed his abilities, waving his hand as all his Summoned Beasts appeared.
The Summoned Beasts sealed off their surroundings tightly, blocking all attacks. With the combat power of the tier-six Summoned Beasts, these makeshift enforcement troops couldn’t harm them.
