Chapter 325 "Planetary Cannon" (4K)

"I see." Li Ye nodded slowly.

To reach the Abyss Storm Sea, the Alliance of Tomorrow would have to traverse the entire liquid metal ocean, which is a full 12000 kilometers deep.

Given the current technological level of the Tomorrow Alliance, it is naturally difficult to achieve this.

Not to mention exploring the deep storm seas and the deepest, ultra-dense core.

“Thank you for informing me,” he said to the ethereal king.

The group immediately began discussing how to deal with the living planet.

The ethereal kings were not as panicked as one might imagine. They had all inherited the memories, wisdom, and knowledge of countless generations of ethereal beings, which provided them with ample reference points.

For a time, everyone was having a lively discussion.

Li Ye immediately raised a question.

"That living planet will travel more than 3 kilometers to reach Aetheria within three days. Can you determine how it will travel?"

The ethereal kings were momentarily stunned.

Subsequently, King Veloma of Star City provided the answer.

“According to the memories of our ancestors, if I’m not mistaken, this living planet must have traveled using a comet slingshot method,” he said.

"The comet slingshot?" Li Ye was slightly taken aback.

Just from the name, you know it's something extraordinary.

The so-called comet slingshot is a technique that uses the momentum exchange of a comet and the calculation of gravitational collisions to propel itself to jump between galaxies.

According to the speculations of the ethereal kings, when a comet passes by, the living planet will manipulate its own biological gravity to emit gravitational waves, adjusting the curvature of local space and forming an invisible gravitational channel.

The target comet will be affected by the gravitational channel and begin to spiral down toward the living planet, eventually being successfully "captured".

After calculating a series of data, the living planet finally determined the optimal ejection path in order to obtain the maximum kinetic energy.

At that time, it will briefly reduce its rotation speed, causing the comet to fall into the atmosphere and gradually slow down, accumulating potential energy like a bullet entering gel.

When the accumulated potential energy reaches a critical value, a living planet will manipulate its planetary magnetic field to launch itself in the opposite direction. When a comet bursts out like a super bullet, it also gains a powerful reverse thrust, increasing its orbital speed by 5-10 kilometers per second.

The scene resembles two billiard balls colliding on a pool table, but the living planet itself is the billiard ball that is being collided with.

"However, one comet alone is not enough. For a living planet to traverse a distance of more than 3 kilometers, it would need at least a swarm of comets to generate sufficient kinetic energy," a ethereal king concluded.

Following this line of thought, the ethereal kings continued their discussion.

"So, this living planet captures and accumulates passing comets on a regular basis for use in future long-distance voyages?"

"No, you're overlooking one point: after a comet is captured, it gradually loses its kinetic energy. Over time, it becomes no different from an ordinary boulder."

“A living planet would certainly notice this and would keep the captured comet orbiting in its near-Earth orbit in order to maintain its kinetic energy.”

"Uh, you're right."

At this moment, they are having a discussion just like scholars in the scientific community.

All of this is the knowledge and accumulation of generations of spirits.

Li Ye was also quite engrossed in listening to it.

In fact, scientific knowledge is also very fascinating.

After a moment, realizing he had been listening somewhat absentmindedly, he coughed lightly a few times and then asked a question.

"Do you have any methods to combat this living planet?"

The ethereal kings, who were engaged in a heated discussion, fell into a brief pause.

A few seconds later, King Viloma spoke slowly.

“According to the memories of our predecessors, the planet Aetheria was also invaded approximately 12523 years ago,” he said.

"You mean, more than 10,000 years ago, a living planet also invaded?" Li Ye asked.

King Viloma shook his head slightly.

"No, it wasn't a living planet back then, but a cosmic beast."

The ethereal king manipulated energy, using the memories of his ethereal predecessors as a basis, and revealed the appearance of that cosmic beast before Li Ye's eyes.

This alien creature is asteroid-sized, resembling an octopus. It has several main tentacles and hundreds of smaller tentacles, and its surface is covered with a keratin-like exoskeleton. Fluorescent blue bioluminescent mucus constantly seeps from the gaps in the skeleton.

Its head is covered with countless compound eyes, which is quite disgusting.

"So how did the Void Spirit Civilization defeat it back then?" Li Ye asked curiously.

King Viloma shook his head slightly.

The ethereal civilization at the time did not defeat it, nor did it do anything at all.

The alien beast had barely tentatively extended its tentacles into the outermost plasma corona of Aetheria when it was ravaged beyond recognition and even let out a painful scream.

In a sense, the plasma corona is the strongest defense against external invasion for this gas giant.

The alien beast was clearly not giving up and made several attempts to cross the plasma corona, but ultimately made no breakthroughs and even ended up with itself covered in wounds.

In the end, it had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After watching the video, the ethereal kings continued their discussion on how to fight the living planet.

In a short time, they came up with hundreds of solutions, and the discussion was very lively.

The meeting lasted for twelve hours in a row, and Li Ye was starting to feel overwhelmed.

The ethereal kings, however, didn't care, since they were energy beings and had no concept of fatigue.

Li Ye had no choice but to take his leave and return to the Tomorrow to rest.

When he woke up again and arrived at the meeting place, the meeting was still ongoing.

“Now, we have come up with a way to deal with living planets,” King Vilomar said to him.

Li Ye, who had been yawning and rubbing his eyes, suddenly perked up.

"Really? Tell me quickly!"

After a day and a night of discussion, the ethereal kings finally reached a consensus.

The Voidlings will unite and transform the planet Aetheria into a super cannon to bombard the living planet that has traveled from afar.

This is the so-called "planetary cannon".

Therefore, the dozen or so ethereal kingdoms need to divide the work and cooperate.

first step.

The ethereal kingdom, located in the liquid metal ocean, will be responsible for injecting energy magnetic field pulses into the ocean, forcing the metallic seawater to form plasma vortices.

This vortex will expand to a scale of tens of thousands of kilometers as the energy magnetic field pulse gradually intensifies.

Once this step is complete, the entire ocean of liquid metal will be molded into a spiral acceleration orbit, becoming the "barrel" for firing the planetary cannon. Step Two.

The ethereal kingdom, located deep within the Storm Sea, is responsible for crafting the "projectiles" for the planetary cannons. They manipulate their energy bodies into flowing plasma, resonating with the hurricane and causing it to merge and expand, forming a "storm eye" with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. Inside the storm eye is a gravitational vortex compressed to its extreme.

The hurricanes in the deep storm sea will become a natural forging hammer, compressing and shaping them into a pitch-black sphere with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers through rotational extrusion, lightning quenching, and gravity forging.

third step.

The ethereal kingdom, located in the diamond rain belt, will be responsible for magnetizing diamond particles with energy, turning them into regular miniature gravitational lenses, so as to guide the lightning in the diamond rain to form a super-giant plasma confinement ring.

This was done to stabilize the planet's structure and prevent it from collapsing due to the enormous recoil when it fired.

Step 4.

The ethereal kingdom, located in a supercritical atmospheric ocean, will guide ocean currents, causing them to form a superconducting circulation that accelerates projectiles.

Step 5.

The ethereal kingdom, located in the rainbow-colored cloud sea, is responsible for transforming the magnificent and ever-changing clouds into a focused array for cannons.

Each step is interconnected and closely linked.

"Actually, the planetary cannon is only a theoretical weapon; it has never been put into practice, so we don't know if it can succeed," said a ethereal king. "However, it should be the most powerful."

After finalizing the plan, the ethereal kings immediately began preparations in earnest.

After all, time is very tight; there are only three days in total.

As the meeting adjourned, a ethereal king coughed lightly a few times, then spoke softly.

"This time, we are facing a formidable enemy. In order to protect our homeland, we must put aside past grievances and go all out. Once this crisis is over, we can settle accounts with each other later."

The ethereal kings all nodded in agreement, clearly sharing the same opinion.

As for the Tomorrow Alliance, they weren't assigned any tasks; they were simply there to watch the show.

Meanwhile, the investor civilization's T62 space fleet.

Zal and Solax, investors who had previously met with Li Ye, are making rapid progress.

And the Rolls-Royces they were driving were built in the Tomorrow production workshop.

As he drove, Zal stuffed fried snacks into his mouth with his tentacles, laughing merrily.

"Haha, these vehicles of human civilization are really interesting. They remind me of the primitive vehicles from the ancient times of our home planet."

"Focus on driving, don't let the car flip over! You bastard!" Solax yelled.

After leaving Aetheria, the T62 space fleet continued its journey through the solar system and visited another planet.

This planet also has its own indigenous civilization, but its level of civilization is only equivalent to that of primitive humans.

However, the investors did not give up any business opportunities. They acquired some primitive daily necessities and clothing from the native civilization so that they could sell them to their fellow collectors when they returned to their home planet.

"Have you heard of Solax? According to my colleagues' observations, a living planet is heading towards Aetheria," Zal said casually.

Solax, on the other hand, seemed somewhat nonchalant.

"Oh, then we can only wish the ethereal civilization good luck."

three days later.

Zelos arrived as scheduled.

As a living planet, Zeros looks quite different from ordinary planets.

Its surface is covered with thick biological crystalline scales. These scales are not inanimate objects, but rather open and close slowly with its breathing, revealing the pulsating dark red photosynthetic tissue beneath, like the muscle texture occasionally revealed by a sleeping dragon.

The atmosphere of Zeros is quite magical; it is actually more like a constantly flowing, living cyclone system.

As a living planet, it possesses living cells, just like any other living organism. Among these are atmospheric cells. Billions of atmospheric cells coalesce to form a living cyclone system. This living cyclone system can transform into different forms to provide various functions according to Zeros's needs.

Zeros also has a face, but its face is not a face in the biological sense, but a perception matrix shaped by planetary geological activity and biological evolution.

In its equatorial region, a deep red rift valley, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers, runs longitudinally through the planet's surface; this is its "main eye." The interior of the rift valley is not rock, but a sensory network composed of clusters of nerve cells.

The several radially extending, jagged canyons below the rift valley constitute its mouthparts.

Its ears are located at the planet's poles, with diameters reaching thousands of kilometers, and their surfaces are covered with honeycomb-like holes.

The ethereal kings' guesses were correct.

Zeros did indeed travel through the galaxy using a comet slingshot-like motion.

Several comets still remain around it, orbiting it regularly.

Moreover, Zeros's trajectory also left a shimmering star trail—composed of the cometary debris it consumed as it traveled.

In fact, on its journey, Zelos encountered an asteroid belt blocking its path, so it impatiently sent a comet to collide with it and clear a way.

At this moment, Zelos is only a little over a thousand kilometers away from the planet Aetheria.

The living planet began to gradually slow down and emitted an impatient low growl.

It is very, very hungry now.

However, a few seconds later, it suddenly froze.

Because a series of giant characters and patterns woven from rainbow light appeared before my eyes.

Zelos was exceptionally intelligent and quickly deciphered the information conveyed by the characters and patterns.

That is.
"Do not proceed any further toward this planet, or we will open fire."

This ingenious warning was naturally created by a spirit.

The ethereal beings located in the iridescent cloud layer guide the reorganization of the mottled clouds and mist within this atmosphere.

Under the influence of ethereal energy, the crystalline particles in the clouds precisely aligned, forming tens of thousands of enormous natural prisms. These prisms then focused and distorted the light projected from the star, ultimately creating torrents of aurora borealis that pierced the sky.

These streams of light are not disordered—under the will of the spirits, they are woven into characters and patterns to warn intruders.

For a moment, Zelos hesitated, and his speed gradually decreased.

It did not expect that a civilization would exist on the target planet and issued a warning signal.

As a living planet with extraordinary intelligence, it naturally understands how difficult it is for civilization to form.

Out of respect for life, it should actually choose another target.

Moreover, there is a planet nearby, only a few thousand kilometers away, which is just a short distance away.

However, after a moment's thought, Zelos decided to continue.

Over the long course of time, this living planet has devoured countless celestial bodies—icy comets, metallic asteroids, and even the remnants of dying stars.

But no other target could provoke such intense hunger in it as the gas giant Aetheria.
