Dragon City, battle command center.
On the quantum radar, the black dots representing the hunters vanished after the kinetic energy cannonballs were unleashed!
The palpable tension on the faces of Li Chengqian and his companions finally eased.
Moments before, the main display had confirmed the laser cannons' impact on the hunters.
Yet, these hunters remained visible on the quantum radar, their persistence despite the laser strikes creating widespread anxiety.
Doubts arose: if even the most potent solar-grade laser cannons failed to eliminate the hunters, then Earth's chances of survival would be utterly extinguished.
“The impact of the kinetic energy cannonballs proved far more effective than the solar cannons’ laser beams!”
“Each of the 1,087 targets was completely disintegrated by the kinetic energy shells.”
“Within three minutes, the optical system will provide a complete visual record of the events in space.”
It takes three minutes for light to traverse the distance from Earth to the Gana observer's location. Similarly, three minutes are required for light originating from the battle site to reach Earth, allowing it to be captured and processed by the optical system.
The quantum radar’s ability to relay battle information in real-time stems from the instantaneous nature of quantum information transfer, a phenomenon facilitated by the principle of quantum entanglement.
Even if an event occurred 100 lightyears away, the entanglement of a quantum particle on Earth with one at that distant location would permit the instantaneous transmission of information back to Earth.
Consider the vastness of 100 lightyears: a distance light traverses over a century, traveling at an astonishing 300,000 kilometers per second.
This immense distance far surpasses the boundaries of human comprehension.
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, both Lin Tian and Wang Kui exhaled sighs of profound relief.
Their primary objective had been met!
Earth's weaponry possessed the capability to inflict damage upon alien vessels.
While these weapons could not obliterate the largest of the alien ships, the engagement nonetheless demonstrated to Lin Tian and his colleagues that the alien spacecraft were not invincible.
This realization represented the most uplifting news.
“Based on the signals received by the quantum radar, 124 shells successfully struck the alien spacecraft.”
“These projectiles ceased their penetration upon entering the alien vessel’s hull, unlike their performance against smaller scout ships.”
“Furthermore, the kinetic energy imparted by the cannonballs did not alter the alien spacecraft's flight path.”
“Hold on… the alien spacecraft has suddenly vanished! It's no longer registering on our sensors.” At this precise moment, the alien spaceship disappeared from the quantum radar's display, never to reappear.
“Could it be that the alien spacecraft was annihilated by the cannonball impacts?” Wang Kui ventured, his jest tinged with genuine seriousness.
Li Chengqian countered, “The alien spacecraft is colossal, comparable in size to a celestial body.”
“Even if it were to fragment under the cannonball assault, it would merely disperse into numerous smaller pieces, all of which would remain detectable by the quantum radar.”
“This outcome is vastly different from what we are observing now.”
“Given the current circumstances, I believe only two explanations are plausible.”
“The first is that the alien spacecraft possesses quantum invisibility capabilities, which it activated upon detecting our quantum radar lock.
“The second possibility involves the spacecraft utilizing rapid displacement, vanishing and reappearing instantaneously. My hypothesis leans towards advanced technology like wormholes or spatial rifts.”
“The alien vessel appears capable of traversing wormholes and spatial fissures.”
“When the alien spacecraft abruptly disappeared moments ago, it is highly probable that it transitioned into a wormhole.
“The prior instance involved a brief wormhole enabling the alien spacecraft's swift exit.”
“This time, however, the wormhole the alien spacecraft entered seems considerably longer, necessitating a more extended period for its emergence.”
“Personally, I find the second scenario to be the more probable explanation!”
A synthesized voice suddenly emanated from the main screen.
“The optical system has successfully captured the battle sequence. Would you like to view the playback?”
“Play it!” Li Chengqian commanded without hesitation.
“Let us get a clear look at our alien adversaries!”
The screen displayed the stark blackness of deep space as its backdrop.
Abruptly, the laser beams from the solar cannons struck the hunters, erupting in a brilliant flash that illuminated the void.
One by one, the curled-up hunters came into view. They sported menacing, chisel-shaped heads, mouths like triangular openings, and formidable sharp claws—a sight that sent a shiver down the spine.
Behind the hunters, the Gana observer was visible. Its form resembled two pyramids joined at their bases, tapering to points at each end and bulging in the middle.
Its surface was scarred with countless pockmarks, akin to the craters on the moon, testifying to impacts from meteorites.
The observer’s dark integument seemed to absorb all light directed towards it.
The sheer immensity of the Gana observer struck the initial observer with awe. It was not merely a spacecraft, but an entire celestial body, a planet in its own right! Its second defining characteristic was its profound blackness, absorbing all light as if it were a cosmic black hole. Compared to this colossal entity, the already massive hunter appeared as nothing more than a speck of dust. In the visual feed, a cannonball struck the Gana observer, carving a ten-meter-wide chasm into its form. The observer's flesh and internal fluids, resembling molten magma, oozed out. This viscous, searing blood solidified as it flowed, rapidly sealing the gaping wound. Witnessing the Gana observer's flesh exposed by the cannonball, Li Chengqian, who had been seated, leaped from his chair. His gaze locked onto the giant screen, filled with utter disbelief. "How could this be... It's impossible!" Li Chengqian had firmly believed the Gana observer to be nothing more than an enormous alien vessel.
