Chapter 92: Chapter 92 The Second Line of Defense

Sea Spirit Star System.

Outside the atmosphere of the Wandering Planet.

The cosmic fleets of two civilizations finally encountered each other.

Earth Civilization sent out a radio message with their last hope, wishing not to engage in war!

However, the current cosmic fleet of Sea Spirit Civilization is controlled by the radical faction, and not only did the radicals refuse to cease hostilities, they even sent out a derisive radio message: "Overcoming a mere First-level Civilization, we need no more than a day!"

"Fire!"

Seeing that the battle was inevitable, Earth Civilization’s fleet decided to strike first.

Eleven cosmic fleets each launched a Composite Nuclear Bomb, a total of eleven, rapidly firing towards the ten Sea Spirit Civilization fleets ten thousand meters away.

The Composite Nuclear Bomb is an upgraded version of a nuclear weapon created by Earth Civilization after mastering Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology, made from a combination of different elements.

Although as early as the 21st century, Earth Civilization could actually produce hydrogen bombs through nuclear fusion, the technology at that time used hydrogen isotopes as fusion material, and nuclear fusion was ignited by nuclear fission; they had not mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion. During the Wandering Era, Earth Civilization finally mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion and even advanced the fusion materials to those below the Iron Element, making the Composite Nuclear Bomb’s power far stronger than that of a hydrogen bomb.

It could be said that the Composite Nuclear Bomb is Earth Civilization’s most powerful weapon, bar none.

Earth Civilization resorted to its maximum firepower from the get-go, naturally hoping to catch the enemy by surprise and end the war swiftly.

Unfortunately for them, the radical faction of Sea Spirit Civilization did not become overconfident. As soon as they saw Earth Civilization launching Composite Nuclear Bombs, they immediately used their fleet’s systems to analyze and scan, quickly determining an interception strategy. Because the scan showed that the bombs launched by Earth Civilization were made of metal, Sea Spirit Civilization chose to intercept the Composite Nuclear Bombs with a Supercritical Water Gun based on their weakness.

Swoosh!

Just saw the central ship of the ten Sea Spirit Civilization fleets instantly activate its weapon system, a Supercritical Water Gun the size of a finger firing out.

When they saw Sea Spirit Civilization attempting to intercept nuclear bombs with the water gun, Earth Civilization couldn’t help being astonished and even found it somewhat laughable.

However, the next moment, Earth Civilization watched in horror as the Supercritical Water Gun, seemingly invincible, easily sliced open the metal shell of a Composite Nuclear Bomb, causing the nuclear fusion materials inside to destabilize and explode instantaneously in space. The Supercritical Water Gun, with just a simple sweep, managed to precisely intercept all eleven Composite Nuclear Bombs, causing them to explode in mid-air.

From a distance, the eleven Composite Nuclear Bombs, struck by the Supercritical Water Gun, burst one after another in space, forming a series of explosive clouds!

"How is this possible?"

Earth Civilization couldn’t believe their own eyes.

The metal hardness of the alloys they used to make nuclear bombs was very high. How could an ordinary water gun easily cut through them?

Yet, Earth Civilization did not know that Sea Spirit Civilization was not only a Second-level Civilization but also a marine-based Second-level Civilization; their mastery of water energy utilization was even more formidable than some Third-level Civilizations.

The technology used in the Supercritical Water Gun is far from simple and is definitely not something a First-level Civilization can easily master.

First of all, there’s the supercritical water, a miraculous fluid that exists at high temperatures and pressures, where water and steam have the same density and completely infuse with each other. To create supercritical water, the temperature must reach above 374 degrees, and the pressure must exceed 22.1 MPa.

Just these two requirements alone are not easily manageable technologies.

Moreover, the Supercritical Water Gun needs to instantaneously shoot this fluid in a special state at pressures above 420 MPa and maintain its characteristics unchanged.

Perfectly merging these two technologies is extremely difficult; even if a First-level Civilization could barely manage it, they certainly couldn’t turn it into such a stable and tremendously powerful weapon!

Due to the high temperature of the supercritical water, reaching three to four hundred degrees, and its very strong oxidizing and dissolving properties, it greatly enhances the cutting capability of the Supercritical Water Gun. It’s nothing like Earth’s previous high-pressure water guns and can easily cut through any metal in an extremely short amount of time.

However, the range of the Supercritical Water Gun is limited and generally can only be used for defense.

Of course, the reason the Sea Spirit Civilization could so easily defend against Earth Civilization’s eleven nuclear bombs is not only because of the Supercritical Water Gun’s extremely high technical difficulty but also because the Sea Spirit Civilization’s fleet system is very advanced. They accurately calculated the trajectory of the missiles, which allowed the Supercritical Water Gun to effortlessly intercept all eleven nuclear bombs.

"If this is the most powerful weapon your Earth Civilization has, then I can only say, you’re easier to deal with than I imagined!"

After the Sea Spirit Civilization easily intercepted the Composite Nuclear Bomb, they immediately launched a counterattack, with ten Sea Spirit fleet ships each firing an Ice Pressure Bomb.

These weapons, resembling white ice diamonds and about half a meter long and roughly thirty centimeters in size, may look like ordinary ice at first glance.

But the power of the Ice Pressure Bomb is far more terrifying than that of the Composite Nuclear Bomb.

Because the outer layer of the Ice Pressure Bomb is a layer of Super Solid Ice mixed with metal, and its core is full of water and antiwater (antimatter water composed of two antihydrogen atoms and an antioxygen atom). When water and antiwater undergo annihilation, they release a tremendous amount of energy, resulting in an explosion about 15 times more powerful than a Composite Nuclear Bomb. At the same time, the explosion scatters the surface Super Solid Ice. Due to the special inner design of the Super Solid Ice, the explosion will then form a shower of Super Solid Ice Needles as a secondary attack.

Thus, it can be said, the Ice Pressure Bomb is actually an Annihilation Bomb!

Faced with the dreadful weapon launched by the Sea Spirit Civilization, Earth Civilization did not dare to be careless. They immediately had their fleet system calculate the trajectory of the Ice Pressure Bombs and attempted to intercept them with tracking missiles. Unfortunately, due to a certain technical gap, Earth Civilization was only able to intercept seven Ice Pressure Bombs, with three blasting three Earth fleet ships to destruction.

Additionally, the aftermath of the seven Ice Pressure Bombs exploding in space cannot be ignored. Countless Super Solid Ice Needles scattered and flew out with tremendous force. In an instant, they pierced through several of Earth Civilization’s fleet ships and space stations, creating needle-hole sized breaches and causing significant trouble for Earth Civilization.

In the end, under the formidable and advanced weapons of the Sea Spirit Civilization, the mere First-level Civilization of Earth had no power to resist. In just about an hour, Earth Civilization’s eleven spaceship fleets were completely annihilated by the Sea Spirit fleet, and not a single person on the Earth fleet and space stations survived.

When Earth Civilization received this news, they were immensely shocked and grieved.

But they did not despair, instead analyzing the weapons of the Sea Spirit Civilization while hastening to fortify the second line of defense.

The second line of defense was located within Earth itself. If battles were fought within Earth’s interior, they would have greater advantages over the Sea Spirit Civilization and a good chance of victory.

However, just as they had this thought,

Earth Civilization saw the Sea Spirit Civilization’s miraculously magical weapons...
