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

Three days later.

War has finally arrived.

The enemy directly dispatched huge white warships, which looked to be about the same size as the Great Roc warship.

As tens of thousands of enemy white warships appeared, they instantly released terrifying fluctuations. Lin Feng and his group were very familiar with these fluctuations; they were definitely star-level weapons.

"The other side also possesses this weapon."

"Use the stellar weapons immediately to neutralize their attacks!"

Lin Feng immediately noticed this and shouted loudly.

In an instant, the weapons of the two sides clashed.

boom!

The first clash broke out before either side could even discern the other's formation.

At the edge of the solar system, the human fleet had already been deployed, with the Dapeng and Kuafu warships interspersed to form a layered defensive network.

The white warship fleet pressed in from the direction of the twenty inhabited planets. Tens of thousands of warships were like white specks of light scattered across the sky, perfectly aligned and exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.

Lin Feng stood in the command center, with the entire battlefield laid out before him by a holographic projection.

His pupils contracted slightly—the enemy's fleet was far larger than any previous civilization's.

"Star Weapon, Triple Firing!"

As soon as Lin Feng gave the order, the cannons of the human fleet lit up simultaneously.

Intense white light erupted from the main cannon of the Great Roc warship. It was a Star Compression Cannon that had been optimized countless times, and each shot contained Star-level energy.

At the same time, the white warship fleet also completed its energy storage.

Tens of thousands of white beams shot out from the front of the enemy ship and collided violently with the human star weapon in mid-air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The universe trembled violently.

At the center of the collision between the beams, a blinding sphere of light burst forth, rapidly expanding and engulfing everything around it.

The shockwave spread in all directions, instantly vaporizing nearby meteorites and asteroids into nothingness.

The first waves of attacks from both sides canceled each other out in the starry sky.

The particle storm left behind after the energy annihilation, like a dazzling aurora, slowly spreads in the dark universe.

"The enemy is indeed not simple."

Lin Feng said in a low voice, a serious look flashing in his eyes.

He had long anticipated that the civilization that would survive to the end could never be the weak one.

But the enemy's strength still exceeded his expectations.

"President Lin, the enemy fleet is regrouping!"

The intelligence officer's voice came through, tinged with tension.

On the holographic projection, the white warships quickly dispersed after the first salvo, forming groups of ten and hundreds of squads.

Each squad maintains a precise distance from the others, like chess pieces on a board, moving forward and backward with measured steps.

"Their tactical awareness is very high."

The military advisor standing nearby said in a deep voice, "This formation method can maintain firepower density while reducing the risk of being targeted by concentrated attacks."

Lin Feng nodded without saying a word.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the command console, bringing up the enemy's energy fluctuation data.

The data clearly shows that the energy output curve of the white warship is almost on par with that of the human's Great Roc warship.

This means that, in terms of conventional firepower, the two sides are evenly matched.

"Second round of stellar weapons, aim at the enemy's central formation!"

Lin Feng issued a new order.

The human fleet quickly adjusted its firing parameters, and all three thousand Dapeng warships simultaneously charged up their power.

White energy light gathered at the muzzle, growing brighter and brighter.

However, just as the humans were about to open fire, the enemy made the first move.

In the center of the white warship fleet, one hundred warships simultaneously lit up with an eerie blue light.

The blue light was completely different from the white light of the star weapon, carrying a chilling aura.

"This is--"

Lin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He was all too familiar with this kind of fluctuation.

Ice element.

"All warships, immediately deploy fire elemental shields!"

Lin Feng's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the enemy's attack arrived.

Hundreds of blue beams of light streaked across the starry sky, freezing the space in their wake into ice crystals.

The ice crystals shimmered with a deathly light under the starlight, beautiful yet deadly.

boom!

The blue beam struck the front-line defensive ship of the human fleet.

But at the moment of contact, the fire elemental shield lit up simultaneously.

Crimson flames collided with eerie blue ice in mid-air, producing a piercing screech.

Ice and fire intertwined, steam and particle streams spread wildly, turning the surrounding starry sky into chaos.

The fire shield blocked the icy attack.

However, the shields of the warships that were hit were instantly depleted by one-third.

"It really is an elemental weapon."

Lin Feng clenched his fist slightly.

The enemy possesses not only celestial weapons but also elemental weapons.

Moreover, in terms of attack power, their control over elemental weapons is in no way inferior to that of humans.

"President Lin, we've detected new energy fluctuations in the enemy fleet!"

The intelligence officer's voice rang out again.

On the holographic projection, hundreds more warships in the white fleet lit up with new light.

This time, it's a fiery red.

Fire element.

"Use an ice shield to negate it."

Lin Feng immediately took action.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the enemy's fire attack came crashing down from all sides.

Hundreds of crimson beams, like the wrath of the gods, tore through the starry sky and hurtled towards the human fleet.

At the same time, humanity's ice shield was fully activated.

The dark blue ice crystals condensed into massive ice walls in front of the fleet, colliding violently with the beams of fire.

Boom!

The collision of ice and fire unleashed a terrifying energy storm.

The shockwave spread in all directions, completely destroying the nearby asteroid belt.

Shattered ice and raging flames intertwined, forming a death zone.

The second encounter between the two sides ended in a draw once again.

"Their tactical coordination is excellent."

Lin Feng quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

The enemy fleet commander was clearly no ordinary person.

The timing of the alternating use of stellar weapons and elemental weapons was perfect.

If humans hadn't also mastered these two weapons, those two waves of attacks would have been devastating.

"President Lin, the enemy is starting to disperse!"

On the holographic projection, the white warship fleet suddenly dispersed, with tens of thousands of warships splitting into dozens of directions to flank and encircle the human fleet from the sides and rear.

They were extremely fast, clearly the result of countless rehearsals.

"Trying to encircle and annihilate?"

Lin Feng snorted coldly.

"Order the Kuafu warship formation to intercept the enemy's left flank."

"Wukong armored units, infiltrate from the right flank."

"The main force of the Great Peng warship, advance head-on."

"Since they want to fight, then we'll fight them to the bitter end!"

The order was given, and the human fleet quickly deployed.

The Kuafu warship formation, like a giant iron hammer, slammed down on the enemy ships on the left flank.

The Kuafu warship was larger and had thicker armor than the Dapeng warship, and was specifically designed for close-quarters strangulation warfare.

They charged into the enemy lines and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the white warships.

The light of the stellar weapons flashed continuously at close range, and each clash was accompanied by violent spatial tremors.

The white warship's armor was equally sturdy; when the Kuafu warship's star cannon struck it, it only left a charred mark, failing to deliver a fatal blow.

The white warship's counterattack also failed to easily penetrate the Kuafu warship's heavy armor.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate on the left flank.

On the right flank, Wukong's armored units moved in like ghosts.

The Wukong armored warrior piloted a small assault ship, nimbly weaving through the enemy fleet.

They were extremely fast, and although their firepower was not as good as the Great Peng warship, their mobility was unmatched.

The white warships' gunfire tracked their trajectory, but they could never lock onto them.

The Wukong armored warriors seized every opportunity to unleash a barrage of fire on the enemy ships.

Elemental weapons unleashed terrifying power at close range, with flames and ice exploding on the enemy ship's armor, leaving deep wounds.

However, the white warship's defense system is equally impressive; its energy shield automatically adjusts the moment it is attacked, minimizing the damage.

The fighting on the right wing has also reached a stalemate.

On the main battlefield, the main force of the Dapeng warship clashed head-on with the main force of the white warship.

Tens of thousands of warships arrayed themselves in the starry sky, firing at each other. The white light of stellar weapons and the colorful glow of elemental weapons intertwined, illuminating the entire starry sky as if it were daytime.

Each salvo was accompanied by a deafening roar.

Each collision unleashes a violent energy storm.

Both sides are experiencing increasing losses.

A giant warship was hit simultaneously by three beams of starlight, its shields shattered and its hull pierced.

The explosion's flames burst across the starry sky like blooming crimson flowers.

But the next second, the three white warships were also hit by human fire elemental weapons, their armor melted, their hulls deformed, and they were reduced to fragments in the explosion.

"General Lin, the left-wing Kuafu formation is requesting reinforcements; the enemy has sent an additional three hundred warships!"

"Right-wing Wukong armored unit reports: ammunition consumption is too high, resupply required!"

Lin Feng's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

The battle was more intense than he had imagined.

The enemy's strength is roughly equal to that of humanity.

Both sides possess celestial weapons and elemental weapons.

Both sides demonstrated an extremely high level of tactical skill.

This was a truly evenly matched war.

"Tell the left and the right to hold on for another ten minutes."

Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "I want to personally command the main battlefield."

He walked to the command platform and quickly operated the holographic projection with both hands.

The formation of the human fleet began to change.

The Dapeng warship stopped engaging the enemy head-on and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Upon seeing this, the white warships immediately pressed forward in full force.

"Now."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Activate stellar energy overload mode."

"All the Great Roc warships, channel all the energy from the Star Engines into their weapon systems."

"Full firepower in three seconds!"

The moment the order was given, all the engines of the Dapeng warships simultaneously emitted a deep roar.

The sound was like the roar of an ancient behemoth, carrying a world-destroying power.

The energy gathering at the muzzle grew increasingly terrifying, and the white light gradually turned into a blinding gold.

Three seconds later.

Three thousand Dapeng warships opened fire simultaneously.

Three thousand golden beams of light, like three thousand sharp swords, pierced towards the white warship fleet.

This attack was more ferocious than any before.

Star energy overload means that every shot exhausts the lifespan of the warship's engines, but in return, it brings unparalleled destructive power.

A golden beam of light pierced through the starry sky, distorting space wherever it passed.

The white warship fleet sensed the danger and immediately released all its energy shields, while simultaneously using stellar weapons to intercept.

But this time, their interception was insufficient.

The golden beam pierced through the enemy's firepower and slammed into the array of white warships.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous explosions erupted within the enemy ranks.

More than a dozen white warships were directly hit by the golden beam of light. Their shields shattered instantly, and their hulls turned to dust under the terrifying energy impact.

More white warships were severely damaged, their armor shattered, their hulls deformed, and they lost their combat capability.

"Hit!"

Cheers erupted in the command center.

But Lin Feng showed no joy whatsoever.

On the holographic projection, the white warships, after being severely damaged, not only did not retreat, but instead unleashed an even more terrifying fighting spirit.

The surviving warships quickly regrouped, all pointing their cannons at the human fleet.

Then, they activated the same overload mode.

Tens of thousands of golden beams shot out simultaneously from the white warships.

That light was even more dazzling than the sun.

Its power was enough to tear apart the entire starry sky.

"Full fleet, energy shields at maximum power!"

"Ice Shield, Fire Shield, unleash them all!"

Lin Feng's voice was almost a roar.

All of the human fleet's defensive measures were activated instantly.

An energy shield lit up, an ice shield condensed, and a fire shield burned.

Three layers of defense, stacked one on top of the other.

The next second, tens of thousands of golden beams of light swept across the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued incessantly.

The starry sky trembled, and space itself wailed.

Humanity's defensive shields trembled violently under the impact of the golden beam, and energy consumption increased at an alarming rate.

The shield of one of the Kuafu warships shattered first, and a golden beam of light pierced through the hull, turning the entire warship into fragments in the explosion.

Immediately afterwards, three more of the Great Roc warships were breached, and flames burst forth in the starry sky.

"Stay calm! Don't panic!"

Lin Feng's voice drowned out all the noise.

"All warships, take turns providing cover as you retreat!"

"Reorganize the defensive formation!"

Humanity's combat skills were on full display at this moment.

Despite the severe damage, no one panicked.

Damaged warships quickly retreated to the rear, while intact warships took the lead at the front, providing fire support for friendly forces.

The three layers of shields intertwined in the starry sky to form a huge defensive net, blocking most of the golden beams of light from the outside.

But the enemy's attack was too fierce.

Every second, the shields are shattering.

Every second, warships are falling.

Lin Feng's fists were clenched so tightly they turned white, and his knuckles cracked.

He knew that if this stalemate continued, even if humanity won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

"President Lin, enemy fleet energy levels have been detected decreasing!"

The intelligence officer suddenly shouted.

On the holographic projection, the golden light of the white warship fleet began to dim.

The side effects of overload mode have become apparent—their energy reserves are being depleted rapidly.

"It's our turn."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes.

"Full fleet, prepare for the third round of overload attack."

"This time, target their flagship formation!"

The remaining warships of the human fleet simultaneously began to charge up their power.

Golden light gathered again at the muzzle of the cannon, carrying all of humanity's anger and determination.

The white warships clearly sensed the danger and desperately accelerated their recharging, attempting to fire again before the humans could.

But this time, humans are faster.

Three thousand golden beams of light tore through the starry sky once more.

This time, the target was even more precise—the enemy's flagship formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden beam pierced through the enemy formation and exploded directly at the core.

The flagship fleet's dozen or so white warships were instantly destroyed, and the explosions turned the entire starry sky red.

The enemy's formation was briefly thrown into disarray.

"Continue the attack!"

Lin Feng showed no sign of stopping.

"Don't give them a chance to breathe!"

Human attacks came wave after wave, and golden beams of light exploded continuously within the enemy ranks.

The white fleet suffered increasing losses, but they never retreated.

They retaliated with the same firepower and fought with the same will.

In the starry sky, the fleets of two civilizations clashed in blood and fire.

The light from the stellar weapons illuminated the entire star field, while the beams of light from the elemental weapons intertwined to form a web of death.

Both sides fought with all their might, and both sides bled profusely.

But neither can truly overpower the other.

Evenly matched.

A true evenly matched contest.

Lin Feng stood in the command center, watching the constantly changing casualty figures on the holographic projection, a cold flame burning in his eyes.

The war has only just begun.
