Chapter 170: Chapter 125: Strategic Objective Achieved_2

"Still struggling?" Shen Shi hovered in front of the liquid metal, conveying a calm voice in Worren language.

"You might be able to kill us all, but the powerful Daike People won’t let you off." Woye’s equally calm voice came through the public channel.

"Considering the Daike as saviors... How pathetic."

Shen Shi turned around and simply left just like that.

He only said two sentences from start to finish.

This left Woye completely baffled.

"Have they given up? No, as long as I escape, I’ll immediately send intelligence to the main fleet! Then their communication occupation tactic can be declared a failure!" Woye looked again at the countdown for disengaging the Curvature Engine.

Then, he froze abruptly.

Even the calm demeanor on the surface couldn’t be maintained.

Because the disengagement of the Curvature Bubble had already been canceled!

Looking at the operation manual again, it was clear that he canceled it himself two seconds ago!

Primordial Energy attack... When did it happen?

Indeed, from the moment Shen Shi reached a certain range, his own Primordial Energy had long guided the Primordial Energy Weapon of the Wogte, performing an instant pinpoint attack on the opponent. Liquid metal couldn’t resist Primordial Energy.

A great sense of fear surged, and Woye seemed to lose all his strength in this moment.

He knew it was all over.

The Worren had such a powerful enemy, yet their main fleet was completely unaware, with no messages able to be transmitted back!

"Great God Wo, why treat your people this way..." Woye had never felt such despair as now.

Meanwhile, as the last Antimatter Bomb detonated, the liquid metal guarding the Curvature Engine finally reached its load limit, completely expanded, hardened, and lost its powerful energy absorption capability.

With only a high-energy plasma device, a path could easily be melted through.

Zhou Rui and others, already prepared, along with three other small teams, rushed inside at almost the same time.

In front of them was a huge metal ring, with the space in the middle appearing like flowing liquid, continuously shrinking towards the center of the ring and then expanding, until it looked indistinguishable to the naked eye.

This is the Curvature Engine!

"Do not approach within an eight-meter range. In active state, anything within this range will be absorbed and fall into eternal spatial collapse." Yu Wenhua softly cautioned the others, then raised his gun and directly shot the space platform connected to the entire Curvature Engine.

Causing many to be startled.

"You didn’t look carefully? What if you hit wrong..."

"Learn in vain? Such small weapons won’t cause damage to the main body of the Curvature Engine; it’s not that fragile."

Yu Wenhua took out the controller he had been carefully guarding, aimed at the Curvature Engine in front of him, and carefully pressed a button.

"It’s done!"

Due to its extremely important special nature, the Curvature Engine’s design from the beginning utilized an internal energy structure design, and once the connection with the control terminal was lost, it automatically stabilized the previous curvature parameter state, and released certain permissions. At this time, the first control terminal could relatively easily acquire two permissions.

One is to maintain the current state, the other is to exit the Curvature Bubble, gradually decelerating until shutting down the Curvature Engine.

Such a design concept is to minimize the damage to the Curvature Engine, ultimately leading to mass-energy conversion.

In the interstellar, there is a long-standing saying.

Mass-energy conversion is the most painful end for intelligent life, as your consciousness will not completely disappear, but will continuously stretch, fall into the abyss where space remains eternally still, unable to escape for millions or billions of years, which is a fate worse than becoming a Primordial Energy Battery.

And the proof of this saying is often encountered during long-distance Curvature Navigation as the "Consciousness Ghost."

Of course, no one has ever been able to prove the authenticity of this saying, just as no one has been able to prove its nonexistence.

However, mass-energy conversion is undoubtedly one of the top three most terrifying ways to die in the Cosmos.

"Task complete! We have successfully controlled the Curvature Engine, requesting reinforcement protection!" Yu Wenhua sent an all-army notification.

"Good!" Chen Feng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Having completed this step means the most important thing is done. Next, as long as the Curvature Engine isn’t lost, all battles will occur within the Curvature Bubble in a state unknown to anyone!

Now, he truly realized.

Their equipment advantage is too great!

That liquid metal’s defense power can be called terrifying, but they can cover the entire outer hull of the warship, meaning the enemy needs to use a frightening amount of attack energy just to break their warship’s outer hull defense. Even having an Antimatter Cannon like the human warship wouldn’t solve it in one or two shots.

Conversely, at this distance, their Antimatter Cannon can easily pierce through the enemy ship.

This huge equipment gap can even directly collapse the enemy’s will to fight.

Even their single-soldier warships have clear advantages.

More powerful weapons, stronger defenses, and faster speeds!

Shen Shi, after clearing the crisis, wasn’t idle either.

He returned to the Wogte, treating it as an opportunity to practice, attacking in Ghost mode and saving many besieged fellow soldiers.

In terms of Wogte’s performance, it completely crushed.

Like playing a game with cheats.

Every move could easily sweep away large areas.

This even made Shen Shi gain a strange insight.

The efficiency brought by hard work and training in becoming stronger can’t compare to having stronger equipment!

And this is, to some extent, indeed the truth of the interstellar!

This made the Worren further aware that there was a hidden, stronger "Ghost Fleet" in the opponent’s fleet.

Some desperate Worren captains finally chose to surrender.

Once someone starts, more will choose to surrender.

Don’t think aliens all fearlessly face death; this also relates to the culture and personal will of their civilization.

Shen Shi didn’t find this strange.

Until the last enemy ship also announced surrender, and all survivors declared they would lay down their weapons, Shen Shi left the Wogte and returned to his original biological warship.

Connecting into the consciousness network.

"I announce that the strategic objectives of this battle have been successfully achieved. Everyone, detain the prisoners and clean up the battlefield."

Accompanied by this brief victory declaration, many warriors erupted in cheers; for them, it was the first battle with invaders and their first space battle as Interstellar Forces, which means, regardless of victory or defeat, it would surely be recorded in human history.

And at this moment, victory was the best reward for their sacrifice and effort.

Of course, some warriors didn’t join in the cheering, remaining vigilant of everything around them, either good at controlling their emotions or more immersed in the sacrifice of their comrades.

Yes, even in such a overwhelmingly advantageous battle, sacrifice still occurred.

This is war.

Blood and death are the eternal theme of war; victory and cheers are just momentary brilliance, unable to cover the color of blood.

Shen Shi didn’t join the cheering either, but summoned all the captains in the channel.

"The upcoming cleanup must not be careless. Whether it’s every Worren or every component on enemy ships that might send cosmic signals, they must undergo repeated, comprehensive control. We need at least half a month of battlefield cleanup to ensure no issues arise before moving to the next target. Also, my Wogte equipped with Primordial Energy Weapon can fully assist you, ensuring the transfer of enemy ship permissions and guarding against hidden codes in the communication system." Shen Shi, in one sentence, laid out the key tasks for the next steps.
