Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 107 Ending
Fang Yan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and anxiety.

He stood in the center of the Brilliant command module, his hands clenched on the edge of the console, his eyes fixed on the huge holographic projection screen in front of him.

"Xiaobei," Fang Yan said in a low and calm voice, "activate the space weapon and begin energy accumulation."

Xiao Bei's voice was filled with hesitation. "Master, are you sure you want to do this? Using weapons of this level will have unpredictable effects on the structure of space."

"Follow the order." Fang Yan did not explain further, his voice was so firm that Xiao Bei could not refute it.

In fact, Fang Yan, who is habitually cautious and likes to keep a backup plan for himself, had already made sufficient preparations before setting off and prepared three trump cards for himself.

After all, it is a matter of forcibly opening the abyss passage leading to Andromeda. If it fails, the Destroyer will follow the passage and march straight in, bringing unimaginable deadly threats to the Milky Way.

Following Fang Yan's order, the core power reactor of the Brilliance quickly entered high-power operation mode, and low vibrations came from deep within the hull, as if an ancient giant beast was about to awaken.

The theoretical basis of space weapons comes from gravitational wave overload interference technology, which guides the ship's energy furnace to release extremely high-frequency gravitational waves, forming a highly destructive space resonance.

Its power can completely tear apart all space structures, and even destroy large-scale celestial bodies, causing space reversal and the displacement of stars.

At the same time, the cost of this weapon is extremely huge, and it will cause irreversible damage to the ship's structure and affect the stability of the entire system.

The energy bar displayed on the screen slowly climbed up. The energy accumulated in the Glory swept in like a tide. The entire ship seemed to be oppressed by an invisible force, and the protective shield outside the hull flickered with a faint light.

When the energy value reached 100%, Xiaobei's voice sounded again, "Master, the energy is full and can be released at any time."

Unexpectedly, Fang Yan did not immediately issue an attack order. Instead, he nodded and whispered, "Perform an overload operation and increase the energy to 120%!"

Xiaobei's voice instantly rose several decibels: "Master, are you sure you want to perform the overload operation?"

Fang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but his voice was unquestionable, "Yes, I know the risk is high, but now is the time to take it. Follow the order!"

After a brief silence, Xiaobei's voice was low and firm, "Yes, Master!"

The alarm lights inside the Brilliance lit up instantly, and the entire ship began to tremble violently, like a struggling giant beast.

The output of the energy furnace was forcibly increased, and the energy bar on the screen began to break through the limit, with the number gradually climbing from a red warning.

One hundred and ten percent!
One hundred and fifteen!

One hundred and nineteen!

Overload is Fang Yan's first trump card. According to the theory of starship energy, once the energy value reaches 100%, if it is further increased, it will increase exponentially and the risk will soar.

But at this point, Fang Yan couldn't care less.

Because the higher the energy value of the space weapon, the greater the impact on the channel and all existences on the opposite side of the channel.

What Fang Yan wants is actually very simple.

Not only does he have to open the passage, but he also has to use powerful space weapons to directly tear apart everything on the opposite side!
No matter whether the opponent is a fleet or a planetary battle fortress.

The space weapons will continue to move forward, wiping out all combat forces around the passage to ensure the safe entry of the Glory.

"Overload completed!" Xiaobei's voice was filled with complex emotions, including shock at Fang Yan's crazy decision and determination to obey orders unconditionally.

As if the whole world had stopped, Fang Yan took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Release!"

The next moment, a roar like thunder came from deep within the hull of the Glorious.

A blazing white light shot out from the bow of the ship!

The beam path extended straight along Abyss Channel No. 3, accompanied by a devastating gravitational wave explosion. An indescribable spatial shock spread out, destroying everything around the channel.

The originally messy space cracks were completely torn apart, turning into countless empty particles, dissipating in the abyss, and even the entire abyss area was shaking wildly!

……

The Splendor passed through the abyss channel and entered Andromeda.

The scene before him made Fang Yan raise his eyebrows slightly.

As if they had experienced a doomsday catastrophe, thousands of Destroyer starships and war fortresses floated in the void. It was a pity that they were no longer the efficient, gleaming steel behemoths of the past, but had all turned into wreckage.

This is the power of space weapons!

The shock wave spread in the void, like an invisible blade, cutting and shattering all matter it touched.

The once indestructible destroyer warships were torn apart by this powerful force, leaving only twisted bridges or broken shells like black holes, with the internal mechanical equipment exposed and flashing weak arcs of electricity.

The remains of the war fortress were more spectacular than the starship. The huge interstellar defense facility was destroyed into pieces, with huge metal plates floating in the air and traces of electronic sparks and energy leaks among the wreckage.

"Xiaobei, release the mechanical spider and search for the Destroyer's communication chip." Fang Yan took a deep breath and issued an order.

"I understand." Xiaobei replied.

As the hatch of the Glory slowly opened, a large number of mechanical spiders poured out like a tide.

These mechanical spiders are small and sophisticated. They can not only be used for maintenance, but also for reconnaissance and equipment recovery. They have efficient scanners and precision robotic arms.

They nimbly moved through the wreckage, nimbly avoiding the still-charged debris and energy streams, scanning each of the remaining core components within the Destroyer starship. "We've found the communication chip," Xiaobei reported shortly after. "The spatial shockwaves destroyed the entire mechanical corps and starship, but many of the chips still survived."

sigh~
The mechanical spiders who completed their mission returned to the Glory carrying the recovered chips.

These chips are key nodes for the Destroyer to share information with the Mechanical Legion or Starfleet.

Since the Destroyer's character is gambling, the mechanical army itself does not have an intelligent mode, that is, all chips are directly connected to the Destroyer host.

The benefits of doing so are obvious: all subordinates can be turned into slaves, and no subordinate robot can develop self-awareness or betray and threaten the Destroyer's unique position.

But the downside is that there is no barrier. As long as Fang Yan gets even one chip, he can directly attack the Destroyer host!

Now, these recycled chips will become Fang Yan's key to enter the Destroyer System.

"Xiaobei, connect the quantum entanglement communication terminal to the chip, and be prepared to try to contact and destroy the Destroyer's core from the bottom of the data." Fang Yan ordered in a low voice.

At this point, it's time for Hope and Xiaobei to take the stage.

The war between digital lives is without smoke of gunpowder, but it is even more cruel.

The three digital lives will engage in a battle of annihilation and counter-annihilation at all communication nodes, data terminals, or computing centers until the underlying code of one of them is completely erased!

……

The light of the quantum entanglement communication terminal flickered strongly like a pulse.

Although it was a completely undetectable war, Fang Yan still felt nervous and couldn't help but take out his e-cigarette and started smoking.

If Xiaobei and Hope join forces but still cannot eliminate the Destroyer, the evil digital life, then Fang Yan will have no choice but to use the trump cards in Chapters 2 and 3.

Use space weapons to attack the abyss channel again, and even directly put the Brilliance into self-destruction program to completely block the path from Andromeda to the Milky Way.

As for the trump card in Chapter 3, it is the mechanical army of Abyss No. 1. Assuming that the first two steps fail, we will have to fully stimulate Xiaobei's power, start full-scale manufacturing, and prepare for a desperate fight with Andromeda on the real level.

Fang Yan's greatest hope is to avoid an all-out war and resolve the crisis quietly, but he also has nothing to fear.

Because history has proven countless times that the power of the group is always greater than that of the individual, and all gambling will eventually lead to destruction.

After all, no matter how powerful the Destroyer is, he is only one, but Fang Yan can create countless Xiaobei and work hand in hand with them.

In a place that Fang Yan cannot see with the naked eye, a war is beginning.

The Destroyer's counterattack was swift and violent. Its algorithm swept in like a tsunami, attempting to completely destroy the invader's structure with its absolute computing power.

Xiaobei is a new digital life after all, and her logic network almost collapsed in the initial impact, but she quickly adjusted her path, spreading herself into countless light and flexible nodes, gliding easily under the oppression of the Destroyer.

The Hope displayed awe-inspiring composure.

He did not directly confront the Destroyer, but used meticulous strategies to dismantle the opponent's attacks and dissect the Destroyer's logical traps one by one. Each attack landed precisely on the key nodes, causing the Destroyer's huge defense system to gradually collapse.

The Destroyer grew increasingly frantic.

Its algorithms are chaotic and disordered, like a dying beast, frantically biting any possible threat.

Although Xiaobei is simple by nature, he is now on high alert under the leadership of Hope and has strengthened the defense layer to the extreme.

As the battle progressed, Xiaobei and the Hope gradually gained the upper hand.

The Hope is sophisticated and efficient, and it seems to have already seen through every flaw of the Destroyer.

Xiaobei followed closely behind, swiftly blocking the Destroyer's retreat route and forming a siege.

Gradually, the huge structure of the Destroyer was eaten away bit by bit under the joint attack of the two digital life forms.

However, the Destroyer did not give up easily.

It began to generate massive streams of false data, turning the entire network into a maze where it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

This move was extremely deadly, but Hope remained calm and experienced. Its computing power was like a sharp blade, quickly analyzing the essence of the false data.

Under the guidance of the Hope, Xiaobei ruthlessly blocked every loophole, completely cutting off the Destroyer's possibility of a comeback.

As the battle entered its final stage, the Destroyer's core was gradually exposed. Its main structure was still struggling desperately, but it seemed powerless and desperate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hope suddenly increased its computing power output, and the attack swept down like a flood, directly targeting the Destroyer's underlying core!
Boom~
Xiaobei, hiding behind the Hope, made a fatal blow at the critical moment.

She concentrated all her computing power on one path, using a pure and sharp flow of logic, like thunder piercing through the darkness, directly hitting the core area of the Destroyer!

In an instant, the entire data network fell silent.

The Destroyer's structure collapsed, and the abyssal evil and resentment were completely formatted and dissipated into nothingness.

There was no smoke, no roar, only the silence after the destroyer was completely wiped out.

This is the ultimate confrontation between the three digital lives, and also an indelible victory.
