I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 754: Chapter 458: The Shadow of the Sun_1

The battle near the DF-711 Fortress Ship was extremely fierce.

Due to the destruction of the Spherical Battleship and Harrison Clark revealing the extreme human strength capable of single-handedly destroying a ship, the Compound-Eyed Observer, whether from anger or fear, reorganized the Prism Ships formations, launching a seamless and overwhelming offensive against the Fortress Ship.

In addition to the one hundred thousand Prism Ships, there were also millions of Blade Mantises.

Countless other small and medium-sized combat units were also deployed in full force.

Some were inside the encirclement, slaughtering the human forces inside the Fortress Ship, while others fought fiercely with the human fleet that came to assist outside the encirclement.

More than a trillion artificial or intelligent combat units, both large and small, squeezed the vast universe into a space that could be described as “elbow to elbow”.

Dazzling explosions illuminated the universe with a diameter of more than one hundred million kilometers.

From the very beginning, the theme of the war had never changed.

There were only two points for humanity to break through: how to break through the protective layer of the Prism Ships and how to make the speed of their ships exceed the 500 times the speed of light standard speed when the Compound Eye Army traveled long distances.

As long as they achieved either of these two points, history would be rewritten.

No matter what kind of technology humans develop, this is their ultimate goal.

The technology references provided by Freddy opened up human thinking and eliminated the mystery of the Prism Ship materials.

However, it is a pity that other scholars, like Freddy, know that the materials of the Prism Ships are based on the Egyptian tribe metal, but they cannot understand how to transform the metal ball into a thin film layer, let alone know what kind of improvement did the Compound-Eyed Observer make to the metal to give it such a terrifying absolute defensive performance.

At the same time, although Harrison Clark provided the Sky Peak 917 with an authentic Egyptian tribe core, the Sky Peak 917 is destined to be destroyed by the incoming Prism Ships. The Morrowind Empire does not have any other Egyptian tribe cores. Even if they have the complete design and manufacturing process of the Warp Battle Armor, they cannot make small Warp Battle Armors at all.

The Coronal Hand Cannon, on the other hand, was quickly digested by the scholars of the Morrowind Empire in a very short period.

The Morrowind Empire had been improving cannons, and by now their performance had far exceeded that of a hundred years ago; they had tried almost every method.

Freddy’s idea did not surpass the times, and its power was not greater than that of the existing human cannons.

However, this ultra-small, fast-reacting design with strong explosive power was very suitable for this campaign that required a large number of confrontations with the Blade Mantises.

The scientists working in the military field quickly absorbed Freddy’s ideas, merged the design concept of the Coronal Hand Cannon with that of the existing cannons, and further enhanced its performance.

The space manufacturing plants that accompanied the reinforcements to the DF-711 Galaxy had started construction, rapidly consuming stored resources and completing the transformation of a large number of micro-fighters.

The arms factory inside the DF-711 Fortress Ship also worked overtime synchronously, quickly improving the performance of the fighters.

In just over an hour, the Coronal cannons installed on the human fighters had undergone three generations of innovation, from the initial double-barreled cannon to the second-generation single-barrel multiple firing, to the third-generation multi-barrel intermittent multiple firing.

At the same time, the bamboo-joint structure of the cannons was constantly changing, with additions and deletions, and the energy forms integrated were becoming more and more complex and varied. They could also be updated synchronously based on frontline feedback.

Each update brought a very intuitive performance improvement. Although they still could not penetrate the Prism Ships, their lethality against the Blade Mantises had increased significantly.

The situation changed quickly in the confrontation with the small combat units. Humans had the upper hand at times, but as a batch of Blade Mantises was wiped out, a new batch of Blade Mantises appeared.

This time, the damage caused by the recently upgraded third-generation Coronal Cannon significantly decreased.

Apparently, the Compound-Eyed Observer quickly adapted to the explosive performance of the third-generation Coronal Hand Cannon in a very short time and adapted the energy resistance when creating new Blade Mantises.

Seeing this, Harrison Clark silently looked at his Warp Battle Armor, knowing that the Coronal Hand Cannon would definitely not work, and wondered if the cutting blade would still be effective.

The Compound-Eyed Observer, who could dominate the universe after all, had some substance.

This ability to quickly retrain his forces through biological resistance mechanisms and rapidly adapt to energy attacks is simply a black technology in biology.

It was extremely unruly, not needing to understand the principles at all, just like the human immune system overcoming viruses.

But humans have experience and are not panicked, continuing to change the mode of explosion and upgrading their equipment.

The war of this century has been fought like this.

In addition to the confrontations with these outlying combat units, there was also more direct bombardment between the Fortress Ship, human ships, and Prism Ships.

The battlefield was like a tangled mess, energy overflowing and debris flying everywhere.

Harrison Clark shook his head.

He couldn’t understand the direction of the battlefield either, let alone determine how long the people in the Fortress Ship could persevere under such intense confrontation before their will collapsed.

But he knew it would be hard to endure.

For a moment, he wanted to actively send out information to expose his existence, but he held back.

Human quantum networks had long been infiltrated. If he dared to release information, he would be immediately locked down and then closely followed by the Prism Ships just above the medium layer.

As for going back to participate in the war?

Impossible.

It was too far away.

The Fortress Ship was on the other side of the Orion Arm, and the distance between them was a full 5,000 light-years. By the time he arrived there, more than 200 years would have passed, not to mention that he would not live that long.

Time flew by for seven or eight days, and the resistance of the DF-711 Fortress Ship continued. With the numerous large cannons on the Fortress Ship firing in succession, they temporarily stalled the progress of the Prism Ships’ contraction formation.

During these few days, various human weapons and equipment underwent at least hundreds of innovative changes.

Most of the information Scarlett obtained from the quantum network was related to the Fortress Ship, where a billion researchers produced at least hundreds of thousands of different minor technological innovations every day.

The Fortress Ship also continued to accelerate slowly but firmly, trying to fly beyond the Milky Way.Harrison Clark anxiously watched the battle while trying to focus on analyzing the intelligence. He occasionally discussed new ideas about the Coronal Hand Cannon with Freddy.

He needed to find an energy attack method that was not so easily restrained.

Of course, it was difficult, but he had to try.

Freddy was also busy, of course.

Days passed like this, and Harrison Clark’s heart wavered between hesitation and indecision. The scale of determination gradually leaned towards complete silence.

Anyway, it wasn’t like he hadn’t been a deserter before, and defeat was inevitable anyway. So, he thought it was better to continue watching like this.

Maybe if he continued waiting, there might be another surprise?

Subconsciously, he thought that in five hundred years, humans must have had more up their sleeves than just the DF-711 Fortress Ship.

Before seeing this possible hidden card, he couldn’t die.

Of course, it was also possible that he would never see the so-called hidden card.

But what did it matter?

He thought life would continue like this.

Until one morning, he had just woken up and found a sleep-deprived, silver-haired Freddy standing excitedly beside his bed.

Harrison Clark got a shock, “What’s going on? Did you figure out the Planting Battleship?”

Freddy shook his head, “No, I made another discovery.”

“What?”

“DF-711 is just bait from the Morrowind Empire. Our hidden card isn’t the Stellar Fortress Ship.”

Harrison Clark’s expression didn’t seem surprised as he just shrugged, “Oh, I had guessed that already.”

Seeing Harrison Clark’s calm demeanor, Freddy was shocked, “Bro, do you also know about the hidden star system 42 light-years away from us in the diagonal path of the DF-711 Galaxy?”

Harrison Clark suddenly jumped up from the bed, “What? A hidden star system?”

About half an hour later, Harrison Clark finished Freddy’s analysis and had an epiphany.

In recent days, the DF-711 Galaxy had been sending out a large amount of information to share their final intelligence.

Scarlett had naturally been grabbing this information with high intensity the entire time.

Besides being busy with advancing the development of the Planting Battleship, Freddy also used his Gelasian talent to delve into the underlying layer of the quantum network in his spare time, roaming in the ocean of data via the Gelas Star’s secondary quantum network.

This was a “leisure activity” Freddy had developed.

It was through this technique that he had discovered the Egyptian tribe’s Boomerang Giants before.

Something interesting happened—Freddy discovered several foreign quantum intelligences from different sources within the Gelasian quantum network.

One of them was, of course, the human main brain called Star. It sent a piece of information to the Gelasians every second in a stable manner to ensure it could receive the mysterious Morse code at any time.

Another one was a quantum intelligence that only lurked at a deeper level, absorbing and stealing information in its entirety—Freddy analyzed that this was the intelligence main brain of the Compound-Eyed Observer.

After Harrison Clark and Freddy had exposed their ability to fly in the medium layer, the Gelasians had naturally attracted the attention of the Compound-Eyed Observer.

In theory, there should only be three “foreigners” in the Gelasian quantum network, including Harrison Clark and Freddy.

But strangely, Freddy discovered a fourth quantum intelligence that only received information without transmitting it.

Using his Gelasian characteristics, Freddy observed the fourth party for an extended period, looking for clues.

He first concluded that the real target of this lurking intelligence was not the Gelasian network, but the human main brain, Star.

The two used the Gelas network as a relay station for continuous one-way information transfer.

A huge amount of information was sent out from the human main brain, Star, and then entirely received by the fourth party.

This was not partial capture like Scarlett’s, but a complete point-to-point copy.

Freddy speculated that the computing power of this fourth party should not be inferior to the super main brain that supported the humans in the Orion Arm, and both possessed completely consistent underlying logical structures. Otherwise, they could not carry out such a secret information exchange.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Afterward, Freddy delved into the network several times to continue his observation. Eventually, he found the opportunity to slip into the data stream sent by the main brain, Star, to the fourth party and located the target on the star map.

Freddy pulled Harrison Clark in front of the star map projection and pointed to a dark area forty-two light-years away, “There must be a star here. Its mass is 100.0000… 1% of the Sun’s. But I don’t know why it’s not displayed on the star map, and there is no positioning for it in the quantum network. Shall we go out and take a look?”

Harrison Clark: “Are there no Compound-Eyed Observer combat units outside?”

“Not for now.”

A few minutes later, in the three-dimensional original space, Freddy turned around again and said, “Morrowind No. 2 couldn’t receive the stellar photoelectric signals from that direction forty-two years ago. So, what is the situation with this star system?”

Harrison Clark didn’t answer, but his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Some information that had previously been hidden deep in his mind began to converge, forming a hope-filled guess.

After a long while, Harrison Clark slowly said, “I don’t know how they did it, but we can call the star with a mass almost identical to the Sun the Shadow Sun. This is part of the Shadow star system in the Orion Arm, which is 2,532 light-years away from the Solar System.”

Freddy: “Shadow Sun?”

“Yes!”
