Chapter 136: An Attack That Was Difficult to Blockl i
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Commander, Great Xia has sent a message. They observed that the Moro fleet has fired a star-destroying cannon at Earth, and they’re asking us to intercept…”
At the lunar base, Zhao Yu casually replied on hearing this, “We were already planning to intercept. Tell them that the enemy’s attack is very powerful, and we can only do our best…”
That was the truth. According to Uncle Da’s calculations, with their current interception capabilities, they could only drain most of the energy from the star-destroying cannon. A small portion would still hit Earth.
Although this small amount of energy wouldn’t cause the destruction of Earth, it would destroy the unprotected areas near Biyang City, which lack a laser defense system.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu said, “By the way, tell the people on Earth to evacuate the area near Biyang City as soon as possible if they can…”
“Yes…”
Once Zhao Yu left, Uncle Da began to hesitate.
Zhao Yu may not be paying attention to Earth, but Uncle Da was always distracted, keeping an eye on the situation there.
According to the surveillance, most people in Biyang City were two-faced opportunists. Those who betrayed Zhao Yu the most enthusiastically were these very people.
“The commander wants to rule Earth. These people in Biyang City hold high positions and are good at using tricks. If they stay alive, who knows what will happen in the future…”
After pondering for a moment, Uncle Da dialed Senior Chu’s phone.
Soon, the projection appeared, he glanced around, and noticed quite a few people around Chu.
Uncle Da said, “Ask the people around you to leave and turn off all electronic devices, including cameras and listening devices…”
A new person!
Senior Chu was surprised. He didn’t expect that this time, the person contacting him was someone else, and they seemed quite authoritative.
He didn’t dare to neglect, and hurriedly complied, shutting down all electronic devices in the area and asking everyone else to leave.
“I have done as you instructed. May 1 ask who you are?” Colonel Chu asked respectfully.
“I’m from the Pangu civilization, and currently the chief of the lunar base!” Uncle Da announced with a hint of arrogance. For a while, he too had been thinking about how to a.s.sist Zhao Yu in managing Earth.
One crucial factor was to not expose too much and to keep a distance from the people of Earth, maintaining a sense of mystery.
Information about the Pangu civilization should be revealed as little as possible.
The chief of the lunar base was either the second or third in command; a high-ranking individual, and from the Pangu civilization!
Colonel Chu’s eyes widened as he studied Uncle Da. Upon noticing that he looked similar to the people of Earth, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, he let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at it this way, Earth and the Pangu civilization might indeed share a common origin. That meant the Pangu civilization was probably not deceiving them.
“Chief, may I ask how I should address you?”
“My last name is Wu…”
“h.e.l.lo, Chief Wu. Do you have a specific reason for contacting us directly?”
“Yes!”
Uncle Da nodded, “It’s about your request to us to intercept the star-destroying cannon the enemy fired at Earth…”
Colonel Chu, somewhat worried, quickly asked, “But can it not be intercepted?”
Uncle Da mysteriously smiled, and slowly spoke.
The next second, Colonel Chu’s pupils sharply contracted, his body broke out in cold sweat, and he stared at Uncle Da without speaking for a long time.
After a while, he came back to his senses, looked around to confirm no one was around, and then continued the conversation with Uncle Da.
They talked for nearly five minutes before ending the conversation.
When he left the meeting room, the other members quickly asked him what was said.
“That man just now is from the Pangu civilization and is also the chief of the lunar base. From the looks of it, he is probably the second or third in command. There are higher ranks at the lunar base…” Colonel Chu calmly explained.
One of the members, Senator Zhou, hurriedly asked, “What about the interception?”
Colonel Chu nodded slightly, “According to calculations, the enemy’s attack is extremely powerful. Even with the current interception force of the lunar base, it’s very difficult…”
“All? What should we do then…”
Before everyone could panic, Colonel Chu continued, “However, they will do their best to intercept and try to prevent the destruction of Earth…”
“What can we do?”
“Nothing. All we can do is pray that they can intercept part of the energy and prevent Blue Star from exploding…”
“Is that all? What else did you two talk about?”
Colonel Chu shook his head, “That’s all!”
After dealing with more issues, Colonel Chu finally left the scene. When he returned to his dormitory and locked the door behind him, he collapsed onto the floor, staring blankly at it, silent.
“Breaking news, according to the astronomical center’s observations, tens of thousands of warships from the Pangu civilization have dispersed 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth in the cosmos, attempting to intercept the enemy’s star-destroying cannon…”
As soon as the news broke, cheers spread across the internet.
“Long live the Pangu civilization!”
“At critical moments, we can only rely on our own kind…”
“Exactly, after all, we share the same origin as the Pangu civilization. In times like these, only they would help us, regardless of past grudges!”
The netizens who were previously worried that the lunar base might not help Earth because of past betrayals, were now extremely excited after hearing this news.
However, another piece of news made their hearts sink again.
“According to observations, during the defense of Mars, the Moro fleet, with only nine warships, broke through the blockade of thousands of warships from the Pangu civilization without a scratch…”
“This fully shows that there is a technological gap between the Pangu civilization and the Moro fleet…”
“According to scientists, the difference in technological level between the two is at least 0.5, equivalent to the gap between a nuclear-armed country and a non-nuclear-armed one…”
“Yes, the Pangu civilization has a lot of ships. There were 200,000 at the Mars defense line, and now more than 50,000 have taken off near the moon. However, the enemy’s single round of attack destroyed nearly 20,000 warships at the Mars defense line…”
“From this perspective, the Pangu civilization might not be able to intercept the enemy’s attack…”
“What do we do if the Pangu civilization cannot intercept the attack aimed at Earth? Our Earth will explode!!”
“I…1 don’t want to die…”
Filled with worry, netizens began to pray, hoping that the Pangu civilization could successfully intercept the attack.
“According to observations and calculations, the energy of the enemy’s attack on Earth is as high as 2.9 x 10^31 joules…”
“At present, the 30,000 ships of the Pangu civilization have started to fire high-energy lasers at the attack trajectory…”
“These lasers are very powerful. Each one is far more powerful than the peak force of the world’s nuclear a.r.s.enal, reaching 1.8 x 10^22 joules…”
“However, it’s still far from being able to completely intercept the enemy’s attack…”
“According to calculations, even if the Pangu civilization’s ships keep firing high-energy lasers, some energy will still break through the interception and hit Earth…”
“Now, all we can do is pray that the Pangu civilization’s ships can consume more energy, so when the energy attack hits Earth, it won’t cause its destruction….”
