Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

The terrifying beams of energy collided violently in mid-air.

The violent collision seemed to shake the entire universe. The sound pierced through the vacuum, exploding directly in the depths of every human consciousness, like two stars colliding before our very eyes.

Golden and dark red light intertwined, entangled, and tore at each other, forming a gigantic sphere of light over a hundred miles in diameter in space. The violent aftershocks of energy spread in all directions, the shockwaves instantly vaporizing nearby space debris, and even causing the orbit of Mars in the distance to tremble slightly.

But this standoff only lasted a short while.

boom--

A massive aftershock exploded instantly, and then the two beams of energy disappeared completely into the world.

The light faded, and space returned to calm.

The attacks from the ape planet and the attacks from humans miraculously canceled each other out.

"How is this possible?"

Redhead stood at the bow of the golden warship, his eyes wide with shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.

It had been monitoring the situation on Earth closely, and through its covert intelligence and observation methods, it believed it had a thorough understanding of human technology. It was absolutely certain that humanity did not possess such powerful energy weapons.

Humanity initially only attacked their planets; the photon weapons bombarded the planetary surfaces, but were all absorbed. They only knew that humanity possessed an energy weapon, but had no idea of ​​its true power.

Although Caesar and his first vanguard initially lost, they believed it was simply because their own energy hadn't recovered, leading to their defeat. After all, the planet had just been severely damaged by nuclear weapons, resulting in a critical energy shortage.

They simply do not believe that humans possess such powerful weapons.

As for all the research being conducted by the Blue Star Technology Alliance, the participants are all top experts who have undergone rigorous screening. Everyone has signed the highest level of confidentiality agreements, and all experimental data is transmitted in encrypted form within the internal network, making it impossible for anyone to leak information.

Even the leaders of each federation don't know what the scientists in each country are doing.

Although the leader of the Western Federation was under control, he only knew the publicly available information. He had no access to core secrets such as photon weapons, Home Guardians, and White Tiger armor.

Naturally, the ape planet was completely unaware that humans already possessed photon weapons.

The redhead's face turned extremely ugly.

They thought victory was assured, believing they could easily crush humanity in a direct confrontation. Little did they know, humanity had hidden such a powerful trump card.

Deep within the planet, Caesar was also observing the war through some special means.

The moment it saw the two energies cancel each other out, its golden eyes suddenly contracted.

"This weapon..." Caesar's voice was deep and rumbling like thunder, "...the humans on this planet have already reached the level of a Type III civilization."

Level 3 civilization.

That is a level of civilization capable of freely traversing between star systems, mastering star-level energy, and confronting them head-on.

In their understanding, humanity had at most just stepped onto the edge of a Type II civilization, hundreds of years away from a Type III civilization. But now, humanity actually possessed energy weapons that were only found in Type III civilizations.

Caesar's face immediately turned ugly.

But it did not panic. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, it had experienced countless wars and encountered numerous unexpected events. Panic would not solve any problems; only by calmly responding could it find a chance to win.

"Redhead," Caesar commanded via telepathy, "Since the enemy's warships are powerful, you shall initiate the attack."

Its voice was cold and decisive: "Our planet has now recovered most of its strength, and your weapons and armor far surpass those of the humans before us. Avoid long-range engagements; that's not our advantage. Launch an offensive, engage in close combat, and utterly destroy them."

"At the same time, order our warships to suppress them and cover your charge."

Upon hearing Caesar's command, the red-haired man's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.

Yes, they have planets as their backing, providing them with an inexhaustible energy source. No matter how powerful human weapons are, their energy will eventually run out. Once they break into the enemy formation and engage in close-quarters combat, they can unleash their true advantage.

"All combatants, prepare to charge!" the redhead roared at the army of apes behind him.

The golden, red, and black warships simultaneously adjusted their positions and began to advance. Their bow guns fired continuously, suppressing the human fleet's firepower and creating opportunities for the charging force.

At the same time, countless hatches opened on both sides of the warship.

Countless ape warriors poured out of the hatch. Wielding giant axes and clad in dark red armor, they spewed out dark red energy trails from their backs, forming a dense charging formation in space.

Those were tens of thousands of fully armed ape warriors.

Their armor shone even brighter than before, and the giant axes in their hands radiated even more terrifying energy fluctuations. After absorbing the energy attack from the Western Federation, their power had reached its peak.

"Rush!"

With a roar, the red-haired man charged out of the warship first.

Tens of thousands of apes followed closely behind, like a dark red torrent sweeping towards the human fleet.

Lin Feng stood in the command center, watching the surging army of apes on the screen.

They moved at incredible speeds, leaving dense trails in space. Their dark red energy trails were strikingly conspicuous in the darkness, like tens of thousands of meteors falling simultaneously.

"They want to fight in close combat." Lin Feng instantly understood their intentions.

Having failed to gain an advantage in long-range firepower, they attempted to use their numerical superiority to charge into the enemy formation and engage in hand-to-hand combat. This is a classic tactic—since long-range firepower is evenly matched, let's decide the winner through melee.

But humans have never fought solely with weapons.

"White Tiger Armored Forces, engage!" Lin Feng coldly ordered. "Lightspeed warships and Xuanyuan provide fire support; do not let them get close easily."

"yes!"

The moment the order was given, the entire human defense line sprang into action.

In Mars' orbit, tens of thousands of White Tiger armored warriors simultaneously ascended into the sky. Clad in silver-white White Tiger II armor, with eerie blue plumes of flame erupting from their backs, they deployed into a defensive formation in space. Photon weapons at their disposal, Home Guardian shields operating at full power, every warrior prepared for a desperate battle.

The light-speed warship formation and the Xuanyuan space carrier adjusted their cannons and began to suppress the charging apes with firepower. Dense beams of photons poured out like a torrential rain, exploding into bursts of light along the ape army's path.

The apes wielded giant axes, cleaving through beams of light. Their armor gleamed with a dark red light, frantically absorbing the energy of the photon weapons, protecting them from the photon beams.

One ape after another was struck by the beam of light, the armor directly absorbing the energy, and for a time it was unable to break through their armor's defenses.

"kill!"

Redhead took the lead, being the first to charge into the White Tiger armor formation. He swung his giant axe fiercely, unleashing a dark red light blade that swept across the area. The three White Tiger armors decisively retaliated, their energy beams exploding in mid-air.

More monkeys followed closely behind and charged into the formation.

In space, silver and dark red intertwined in an instant.

Giant axes swung, blades of light crisscrossed. Photon weapons roared, beams of energy shooting out in all directions.
