Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1037 - 1022 - Chen Fei's Defensive Battle

The construction of the three-dimensional holographic projection has been completed, and the battlefield scenario map is fully expanded, covering the entire star system and the peripheral meteor belt.

As long as there is life in a star system, if the molecular base form of life is the same, the environments are often quite similar.

After all, life is inherently fragile, with very strict requirements for its survival environment. A slight deviation could prevent the formation of life, and even a single cosmic ray or stellar explosion could wipe out all life on an entire planet, leaving not even a trace of RNA.

The Sagari fleet near the Fourth Planet Antalu and the Twelfth Planet in the star system is highlighted with high brightness contours, making it particularly conspicuous. A projected route connects the two, with a countdown marked at 58 days and 11 hours.

Chen Fei stayed at Seed Nest McKenny for 29 hours, but he didn't waste his time there; he spent a lot of time "charging", after all, learning is enjoyable.

The only thing not enjoyable was for McKenny, who accumulated a large amount of useless knowledge. After all, it's just a Seed Nest! It's acceptable to hatch a little T-Rex, but reading books? Forget it!

Chen Fei's joy is built upon the effort of the Seed Nest.

"My design plan is to use the constant star light source to establish a beam support strike cluster, numbering around 2000, responsible for consuming the enemy fleet's protective barriers and intercepting subunit attack clusters. This is the design plan for the Beam Cannon, which I named the 'Starlight Cannon'."

Chen Fei had Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" project the design of a new combat weapon derived from the Biological Space Mother Ship.

Drawing on constant star light sources to sustain attacks is not exclusive technology of the Sagari civilization. Whether it's the industrial technology of Blue Star or the magic alchemy of Cangqiong Star, they can easily achieve the same effect—even without developing new technology. Just a slight integration of existing technology can do it. Although most of the technical challenges lie in processing, industrial and alchemical processing are not a problem for Chen Fei's psi skill, and mass production can be easily achieved.

The original form of the "Starlight Cannon" is a giant pillar with a full length of kilometers. When fully expanded, it resembles a giant umbrella, with a "canopy" backed by a constant star diameter exceeding 20 kilometers. It uses the "Light Wing" principle to gather energy, including constant star light, focusing it to the end of the "handle", forming high-density energy beams that are launched at the speed of light. As long as the constant star doesn't extinguish, the energy beam won't disappear.

Range? Unless influenced by the gravity field of planetary-level celestial bodies, high-density energy beams are sufficient to reach the meteor belt at the edge of the star system.

When the "Starlight Cannon" clusters are deployed and expanded, the 439 Biological Space Mother Ships of the Sagari civilization will be targeted with focus fire from numerous high-density energy beams.

As they are initially close to the constant star, Biological Space Mother Ships cannot borrow a sufficient energy density of constant star light, so the "Starlight Cannon" clusters gain a geographical advantage.

"The second weapon will be deployed near the planet and the design is relatively simple, with the key lies in computation. I call it 'Gravity Slingshot', primarily used for mid to close-range interception, numbering around 3000, with attached rocket engines for mid-course reorientation and trajectory calibration."

Chen Fei marked out light points near each planet in the star system. Without any technical content or special materials, they are entirely pure asteroids, each over 5 kilometers in diameter, accelerating with planetary gravity and densely projected towards the Sagari fleet.

The asteroid diameter is close to that of the Biological Space Mother Ship, with mass far exceeding it. Pure physical impacts are simple and brutish, "Starlight Cannon" is advantageous without expense. If not avoided, the Biological Space Mother Ship can only withstand the hit, its protective barrier struggling to cope.

If unlucky, it's entirely possible to directly smash them into pieces.

Taking examples from the space fleets of Blue Star and Cangqiong Star civilization, no space ship can withstand such an attack.

"The third, Super-Caliber Space Railgun, with a caliber of 10 meters, 40 rounds in reserve, mainly armor-piercing shells, shrapnel, and Element Annihilation Bombs, using a revolving ammunition chamber, numbering roughly 4000 units. Each cluster contains 600 units, distributed on the orbits of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Planets, with the Fifth Planet preset as the decisive battle region, leaving 2400 units, the ideal number is 12400 units. Unfortunately, I'm the only one producing them; I can't make any more."

Chen Fei's greatest regret is not having enough time. Even the simple operation of copying thousands of times is exhausting, not to mention the actual evolution requires more time. If he had over a year of preparation time, he could teach this fleet a lesson.

The massive material reserves marked by spatial branding compensated for the biggest shortcoming, allowing Metal Elemental Psychic Power techniques to fully exploit explosive soldier advantages. The Sagari army lacks support from the Seed Nest, without occupying the sky, lacking geographical advantage, and further lacking human resources, making victory in the war of attrition a matter of time.

If Xiao Jiu and its Pure Light Sparrow flock were also present, the certainty of annihilating the enemy would be nearly one hundred percent.

"The fourth category, Light Stealth Assault Ship, specializes in carrying Element Annihilation Bombs for suicide attacks, with a battle ratio of four light stealth assault ships ambushing one Biological Space Mother Ship. Together with maneuvering numbers, the total required is 2000 units. The good news is that the number of Element Annihilation Bombs is adequate and can even be self-produced to some extent."

The Louis Industrial Company had long handed the formula of Element Annihilation Bombs to Chen Fei, fearing he might run out of ammunition, now it can effectively be utilized.

The 2000 Element Annihilation Bombs for use on Light Stealth Assault Ships, plus the reserve ammunition for the Super-Caliber Space Railgun (2 for each unit), meet the nearly ten thousand Element Annihilation Bombs requirement. Although not enough to destroy an entire life planet like a nuclear weapon, they can severely impact any planetary surface. While not earth-shattering, the destructive power is similarly intense.

"The fifth category, Combat Mothership, with a total length of 1000 meters, each carrying 2000 tactical jets to intercept and harass enemy fleet-deployed subunits. If necessary, they can sprint and directly ram targets, numbering around 450 units, one-on-one to restrain the enemy's Biological Space Mother Ships."

As Chen Fei concluded strategically and tactically, the whole strategic and tactical layout of the star system was fully revealed.

Although the quantities of the five combat units are numerous, numbering in the thousands, once they fall into the star system, they immediately become insignificant, like a grain in the ocean, negligible.

The foundation for explosive production of the five combat units lies in the planetary resources and various supplies provided by Seed Nest McKenny. Otherwise, relying solely on the material reserves within the spatial branding alone would still be impossible to achieve full supply and sufficient supply, with a massive gap, particularly in alchemical materials.

Therefore, leveraging the resource security of Seed Nest McKenny is an indispensable part of the whole combat plan.

To save time on ground travel, McKenny opened a vertical channel from the underground little world to the surface, reducing 25 hours of walking time to 1.5 hours. However, the exit location very awkwardly situated in a cave where indigenous creatures are active, more accurately, a complex type of insect hive, with a rather large scale.

Various types of insects total over ten million, rarely seen on the surface but surprisingly abundant within this insect hive, coupled with various low-level plants and extremely rich microorganisms, forming a material cycle exchange ecological system. It also extracts slight materials from the rock layer and surface for supplementation, expanding the biological settlement's scale.

To smoothly reach the surface, Chen Fei activated his psi skill to construct the "Skylight" channel, directly leading to the wind-blown stone-rolling surface.

Those attempting to crawl into the channel included arthropod and crustacean insects clinging to the silicon carbide translucent panel surface, making eerie hisses and rustling sounds, while continuously secreting poison or acid, persistently trying to break through the barrier, creating a scene that sends shivers down the spine.

However, the silicon carbide material is well-suited to Antalu Planet's acidic environment, and those menacing insects are almost unable to damage these translucent panels and the stronger framework, given that none can be penetrated at close range by light weapons (excluding railgun weapons).
