identally Firing A Star Destroyer Cannon
“Cruiser 001, request to take off…”
“Permission granted!”
“Cruiser 001 has entered synchronous orbit and is request to leave the moon.”
“Permission granted!”
“Cruiser 001 has aimed at the Earth Pacific target range and requests to fire.”
“Permission granted!”
Upon Zhao Yu’smand, the U-shaped spaceship modified into a cruiser andunched a star destroyer cannon towards Earth. Sitting inside the spaceship, Zhao Yu watched the entireunch process through the window.
The hundreds meter long cannon’s barrel, glimmered with dazzling light, and as the the energy umted, it became brighter and brighter, shining brighter than the sun.
“Open the filter te,” Zhao Yumanded,
The window gradually darken, and the light emitted from the cannon barrel also became softer due to the effect of the filter te.
One minuteter, the star destroyer cannon was fully charged. The cannon barrel trembled violently, and a milky-white energy group was shot out like a furious dragon, carrying an imposing aura, and flying towards the Earth at high speed.
“Boom! Boom! Boom”
The water cup on the table in the spaceship jumped unconsciously.
The powerful shockwave had already begun to impact the disk-shaped spaceship.
“Activate the energy shield!”
“Swish!”
Ayer of pale white light shield lit up outside the disk-shaped spaceship. Immediately, this light shield began to boil violently, like being stung by countless wasps with their tails, protruding small spikes.
“Increase the power of the energy shield!” ordered Zhao Yu, seeing the shield struggle to cope with the force of the shockwave.
“Buzz!”
The power of the energy shield was raised to its maximum, and the shaking of the objects on the table disappeared. The energy shield outside the window gradually returned to normal.
“Cruiser 001 hasunched the star destroyer cannon at the target range. Mission aplished, awaiting instructions from themander!”
Upon hearing the robot’s report, Zhao Yu gave a slight nod and said, “Cruiser 001, return!”
“Understood!”
Although the star destroyer cannon had already been fired, Zhao Yu had not received any rewards from the system. He reckoned that the rewards would only be given once the target range was hit.
The mission waspleted, and as it was rare to be in space, Zhao Yu sat in the spaceship, curiously looking at the cosmic scenery outside the window.
Simr to what he had seen in movies and TV shows, the view?outside the window is pitch ck, except for the dense stars.
Zhao Yu turns around the window, and as far as the eye can see, the background of the universe is all darkness and starlight.
The entire universe was ck, dotted with some sparkling dots.
“It’s pretty much the same as seeing it from the ground…”
Zhao Yu was somewhat disappointed, thinking of going to space with much anticipation but finding no difference from what he saw on the ground.
“Actually,mander, since the Moon has no atmosphere, the view from the surface is the same as the view from outer space,” Uncle Da exined.
As the base’s butler, Uncle Da was always avable to talk to Zhao Yu.
“Commander, the star destroyer cannon has been fired. You should return shortly!” Uncle Da said, still concerned for Zhao Yu’s safety in the spaceship.
“I’ll orbit the moon a bit longer before returning,” Zhao Yu instructed the robot to pilot the spaceship.
Uncle Da felt helpless and could only order the apanying warships to follow closely to ensure Zhao Yu’s safety.
An hourter. Uncle Da said, “Heymander, you can head back now, there’s not much to see on the moon,”
“Hold on, what if I go to Earth?!” After spending over five years underground, Zhao Yu was excited to finally be out and about. Seeing the blue and white with some yellow and green stars in the distance stirred up a restlessness within him.
“Sorrymander, but you’re the topmander of this base. If anything were to happen to you, it’d be meaningless for all of us,” Uncle Da said, hesitant to let Zhao Yu leave.
Zhao Yu relented, “Alright, let’s hold off on going to Earth for now. I’ll just take another look around…”
With that said, he turned and activated the control robot, grinning, “Teach me how to pilot this spaceship, I wanna give it a shot…”
Uncle Da frowned as he looked at the spaceship’s interior. After a brief hesitation, he suggested, “Since we fired the star destroyer cannon at Earth, why don’t we have Zhang Yi Xia notify Earth and tell them there was a malfunction and the cannon was identally fired?”
Zhao Yu thought it over and found the idea reasonable.
If Earth used a malfunction as an excuse to attack his base, he could also im malfunction as a reason to strike back.
“Alright, let Zhang Yu Xia handle it,” he nodded in agreement.
..
“Sister Xia, you finally contacted me!!!”
Liu Ning was excited to speak but was interrupted by Zhang Yi Xia. “Let’s talk about thatter. I have something important to say. Just now, I received a notice from ourmander, we had a malfunction in our base equipment, and we identally fire a star destroyer cannon towards Earth. I’m deeply sorry.”
“What?!” Liu Ning was stunned. She turned to look at Colonel Chu with a nk expression.
Colonel Chu was equally shocked and immediately ordered the staff on-site, “Control the satellite and search for extraterrestrial objects in the direction of the moon.”
After a moment, someone found the star destroyer cannon that was shing with a strong light. “We found it. It’s an incredibly powerful energy mass. Its speed is 200 Mach, and it’s expected to hit Earth in 13 minutes.”
“What? Are you going to destroy Earth?!” Liu Ning panicked and asked Zhang Yi Xia.
Zhang Yi Xia quickly shook her head and replied, “No, no. It was just a malfunction. The good news is that the star destroyer cannon’s trajectory is aimed at the Pacific Ocean.”
“And also, the destructive power of our star destroyer cannon is moderate. It’s roughly equivalent to 1 billion tons of TNT explosion on Earth, so it won’t destroy the.”
Establishing dominance? Using this as an opportunity to destroy Earth?
Countless thoughts ran through Colonel Chu’s mind, but at this moment, he could only be optimistic about the situation.
“Sister Xia, our Earth is in danger now. We need your help!” Colonel Chu spoke directly to the camera, disregarding everything else.
Zhang Yi Xia thought he was talking about the star destroyer cannon and shook her head, saying, “I’m sorry. Once the star destroyer cannon is fired, it’s very difficult to intercept, and we can’t do anything.”
“It’s not about that!” Colonel Chu quickly replied. “In space, there’s a small asteroid 50 kilometers in diameter heading towards Earth. Once it hits us, we’re done for.”
“An Asteroid?! “Zhang Yi Xia was stunned, looking up at the monitoring probe involuntarily.
“We’re asking for your help to destroy that asteroid and save Earth!” Colonel Chu said earnestly.
At this point, all he could do was trust that the aliens truly didn’t know about the asteroid.
“Uh, wait a moment. I need to report this to mymander!” Zhang Yi Xia hesitated and hung up the phone.
“Will they agree?!” All the on-site personnel stood up, looking at Liu Ning with hopeful eyes.
“I don’t know. All we can do now is wait for their response.”
..
“An asteroid hitting Earth?!” Zhao Yu looked bewildered from the spaceship. “Howe I didn’t know about this?”
Uncle Da exined, “During our call, people from Earth asked us for help. I used our detection equipment to scan the area and found a 50-kilometer asteroid heading towards Earth.”
“Will it destroy Earth?!”
“Based on simtions, it’s likely to cause 99.99% of life on Earth to go extinct.”
“How long until it hits Earth?”
“In six hours.”
Zhao Yu rubbed his chin and asked, “Can we intercept it?”
“We can intercept it, but I suggest not destroying it.”
“Why not?”
“We can use our battleship to change the asteroid’s trajectory and make it a satellite of Earth. This way, it will be easier for us to build a base on it.”
Zhao Yu nodded and said, “Do we have enough time?”
“Yes, we do.”
“Good. Send a spacecraft first. Don’t contact Earth yet. We’ll discuss it further when I return.”
After the incident, Zhao Yu lost interest in space exploration and ordered the robot to steer the spaceship back to base.
In the control room, Zhang Yi Xia paced anxiously. When she saw Zhao Yu, she asked, “Commander, can I contact Liu Ning? She’s waiting for my updates.”
“Not yet,” Zhao Yu replied, turning to Uncle Da. “Is this the right time?”
“Yes, it is. The timing is perfect.”
“Okay, contact Earth. This time, I’ll talk to them myself.”
