nLunar base, control room.

n“Would you like to spend 100 tech points to raise Mathematics from 1.99 to 2.00?”

n“Yes!”

nZhao Yu had only 15,000 tech points left, he had to be careful not to squander them, incrementing the seven basic sciences one bit at a time.

nOnce he had increased all seven basic sciences to 2.00, the Type I Particle Black Hole Propulsion Device finally appeared on the exchange list.

nThe cost was within his estimation, only requiring 10,000 tech points.

n“Do you want to spend 10,000 tech points to get the Type I Particle Black Hole

nPropulsion Device?”

n“Yes, sir!”

nBase: Level 2

nExperience: 110800

/300000

nTechnology Points: 4230

nType I particle black hole thruster under construction. Time remaining: 7 days.

n“7 days should be enough time!”

nZhao Yu let out a sigh of relief. The gravitational wave detector indicated that the Moro fleet would not reach the Inferno frontline for another 15 days.

nBefore the enemy arrived, his spaceship would be modified. Although it was not as advanced as the enemy’s, his Type 1 Particle Black Hole Propulsion Device could level the playing field in terms of speed.

nEarth, Xia Du Base.

n“We have received a transmission from the Moon!”

nColonel Chu and others were busy with nuclear bomb deployment when someone suddenly reported the situation.

nEveryone was surprised and immediately inquired about what the extraterrestrial beings on the Moon had said.

n“The Moon has issued a warning to us, stating that if one of their Sky Shriekers goes missing or is damaged on the Blue Star, for any reason, they will launch a Star Destroyer cannon towards the area with the densest activity of life forms on our Blue Star…”

n“What?!

n11

n“This is outrageous!!”

n“How can a mining machine be compared with a living person?!”

n“This is too much!

nH

nPeople expressed their outrage.

nSenator Zhou, however, heaved a sigh of relief, “It seems they haven’t noticed our activities yet…”

n“The chances are slim…”

nColonel Chu shook his head, “The move to mobilize nuclear weapons is too significant, they couldn’t have missed it. I think they haven’t mentioned it because they are likely unable to stop it at the moment…”

n“Unable to stop?”

nThe council members looked confused.

nColonel Chu nodded, “The Universal Federation must have put tremendous pressure on them, making them hesitant to act rashly now…”

n“This means, we just need to break through the Protective Shield’s defenses, and we’ve succeeded…”

n“What are we waiting for then? Get them moving!”

n“Yes, we can’t afford any delays, breaking through the Protective Shield is the key!”

nWithout wasting any time, they picked up their keys, entered their unique councilor’s codes, and activated the nuclear commands.

nBiyang City, located overseas near the North Pole, was chosen as the main location for the attack on the Protective Shield.

nMid-air, over a thousand fighter jets were live broadcasting the attack on the Protective Shield to the world, each equipped with a camera.

nAlmost everyone around the globe was glued to their TVs, closely watching the Earth’s joint counterattack operation.

n“The aliens will definitely try to stop us, we have to find a way to fight back…”

n“Don’t worry, our Earth’s think tanks surely have various contingency plans…”

n“In my opinion, this attack on Biyang City might just be a decoy, the real attack could be somewhere else…”

n“Will the person above please shut up, don’t leak any secrets…”

nAt this moment, the world was watching. Everyone was on edge, worrying that the aliens might interrupt at the crucial moment.

nMany even temporarily abstained from eating meat, praying for the operation to go smoothly.

n“What do you think, how will the aliens respond?”

n“They have a robot army, 1 think they might deploy them to fight…”

n“Not scared, we have millions of troops stationed in Biyang City, and dozens of aircraft carriers at the sea…”

n“Maybe they will send warships to attack Biyang City…”

n“Yes, I once had the privilege to see an alien transport ship, it was incredibly huge, covering the sky, at least 10 kilometers long…”

n“If their transport ships are 10 kilometers long, wouldn’t their warships be even more terrifying?!”

n“Can we really win?!”

n“We must win, justice will prevail!”

nMany people spoke confidently about winning, but deep down they were worried, fearful of losing this battle.

nBecause they understood that if they lost, the Blue Star would enter an age of eternal darkness, with no light to speak of.

n11

nIt’s started!”

nIn the live broadcast, a ground launch pad opened, revealing a rocket carrying a nuclear weapon equivalent to 100,000 tons of TNT.

nWith a violent tremble, the missile took off, speeding towards the sky.

nOver a thousand fighter jets aimed their cameras at the nuclear-armed rocket, watching from afar.

nThe rocket climbed rapidly. In a short while, it had pierced through the clouds.

nJust as it was about to enter outer space, a laser suddenly came down from above.

n“Boom—!”

nThe nuclear bomb, not yet detonated, was triggered at that moment, exploding high in the sky.

nA mushroom cloud appeared out of nowhere, the sky’s clouds instantly cleared, forming a vacuum zone.

nVisible shockwaves spread around.

n11

nIt’s been intercepted!!”

nEveryone watching this scene around the globe felt a harsh tug at their hearts.

n“Look, there are more rockets!”

nAs people were struggling with the reality, on the ground, over a hundred missile launchers stood up. One after another, rockets carrying nuclear weapons ascended rapidly, heading towards the mushroom cloud.

n“Boom-!” “Boom-!” “Boom-!

nI

nLasers shot down from outer space, continuously triggering the nuclear weapons on the rockets prematurely.

nThe entire sky was filled with nothing but the light and smoke from various explosions.

n“We must win!!”

n“Come on!!”

nThe internet was flooded with words of encouragement. The global community stood united against a common enemy, demonstrating a level of unity never seen before.

n“Wait, look at the shockwaves…”

nSomeone sharp-eyed noticed that the fighter jet’s camera had zoomed in.

nHigher up in the sky, layers of visible shockwaves, like huge waves, burst through the horizon, reaching the heavens.

n“Sizzle —!”

nFrom beyond the sky, ripples started appearing on the visible transparent sky curtain, causing people to feel extremely excited.

n“It’s working!”

nPeople soon found that these shockwaves seemed to disrupt the laser system, causing the nuclear weapons, which would normally be detonated at a certain height, to ascend further, flying an extra third of the distance before detonation.

nA number was rapidly changing on the bottom of the live broadcast screen.

n“150…166…215…”

n11

n215 nuclear bombs have been launched already…”

n“300…”

nAs more nuclear bombs were launched, the height of the mushroom clouds also increased.

nThis meant that the origin of the laser shots was affected by the shockwaves.

n“I get it, the laser system is indeed strong, but within the planet, where there’s atmosphere, it’s easily disrupted by shockwaves, delaying its lock-on time…”

n“As long as our shockwaves are continuous, we can eventually break through the laser system’s lock, and finally destroy the Protective Shield!”

nOn the internet, some amateur scientists seemed to understand the key to this attack.

nAnd indeed, just like they said, the Earth’s nuclear bombs were being launched one after another, like they were free.

nThe mushroom clouds from the explosions grew bigger and bigger. Later on, a single nuclear bomb’s mushroom cloud was even larger than the cloud from a hundred nuclear bombs previously.

n“We’ve reached the megaton range…”

n“I wonder what the yield is now!”

n“Judging by the range, it should be at least 10 million TNT equivalent. This is absolutely ridiculous, one could destroy an island…”

n“A thousand nuclear bombs have been launched, that’s one-tenth of our reserves…”

n“The effect is obvious, the mushroom clouds are very close to outer space where the lasers are coming from…”

n“Faster!”

n“Go for it!”

nPeople all over the world were excited, wishing they could turn into a nuclear bomb themselves and break through a few meters into the sky.

n“1500…”

n“2000…”

nThe closer they got to outer space, the slower the nuclear bombs seemed to break through.

nPeople’s hearts were in their throats, their eyes unblinking as they stared at the sky on their screens.

n“3000…”

n“Boom —!”

nAbove the sky, one rocket broke through the encirclement, hitting a base point before the laser could fire.

nWith a thunderous bang, the transparent shield in the sky shattered like glass, scattering in all directions.

nIn just a quarter of an hour, the sky curtain covering the entire globe disappeared completely.

n“We’ve won!”

n“We’ve achieved victory!!!”

nThe Protective Shield was broken, several fighter jets raced across the sky, daring to cross the clouds and fly into outer space.

n“There’s no attack, no lasers, we’ve really succeeded!

nThe whole world cheered.

nBut soon, people noticed a change on the screen.

nThe fighter jets that had flown into outer space aimed their cameras at the universe.

nIn the screen, the vast universe, not too far away, was sparkling with constant fireworks.

nLike billions of bundles of fireworks bursting open, bright and spectacular.

n“Looking at the location, it seems to be near Mars…”

n“Where do fireworks come from in space?”

nH

nNo, this is a war, a war on a cosmic scale!”

n“It must be the Galactic Federation fighting the evil moon aliens….”
