Chapter 769 -769: Small-Scale Star Destroyer Cannon
Air Combat Devices would play a significant role in future air battles, being a key to victory.
Qin Hao observed for a moment, the interstellar battleship before him was not an ordinary one; it was also equipped with carrying capabilities. Given the size of the battleship, it should be able to carry ten thousand Air Combat Devices.
If there were only this battleship to consider, Qin Hao was confident he could defeat it. His worry was that a continuous stream of large troops would come after, and in that case, Qin Hao would not be able to resist at all, and the entire Earth would fall.
After giving instructions to them, Qin Hao exited the virtual meeting room. There were currently over seven thousand Air Combat Devices in the base, and even if they were to produce at full capacity for a month, they could probably only make up to ten thousand units.
Fortunately, he had also deployed ion attack satellites in space, which could deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Besides these, Qin Hao also had a large number of Mecha guards under his command. Although their combat power was not as good as that of the Air Combat Devices, carrying out tasks such as decapitation strikes and rapid assaults was not a problem for them.
He was confident and certain that he could take down this battleship.
…
In the distant starry sky, the battleship Qin Hao observed was traveling at a constant speed.
The bearded man named Shan Xingyun was the captain of the Interstellar Bounty Team; freelance professionals who took on missions, completed them, and earned bounties. They could also be called interstellar scavengers.
He said, “Don’t even mention it, although there are no life-bearing planets in the Southern Wilderness Star System, it’s quite rich in rare resources. On this route, we’ve gathered quite a bit of resources. We’ll definitely make a big sell once we get back.”
Liu Guangliang said, “Boss, a passage has been opened up in the Endless Meteorite Zone, and more and more exploration teams are entering here. We need to speed up, or all the good stuff will be snatched away by those people.”
Shan Xingyun laughed and said, “Don’t worry, this battleship is equipped with the most advanced detection scanning system. Even if the resources are far away, we can detect whether there are any rare resources.”
Ding Jingmei, nestled in Shan Xingyun’s arms, coquettishly smiled and said, “Yun, wouldn’t it be great if we could also come across a life-bearing planet? The Thunder God Bounty Team found one before and sold it for ten billion star coins. Now they’re an S-ranked bounty team. If we had that kind of money, we could get a more advanced warship and recruit more members.”
Shan Xingyun sighed, “When will I, Shan Xingyun, ever have that kind of luck?”
…
On Earth, the atmosphere had grown somewhat tense, imperceptibly so to the ordinary person, but very much palpable to those in higher positions.
An extraterrestrial civilization had appeared. Though currently distant from Earth, there was a significant chance they would discover it.
One month was neither long nor short, but after giving orders, Qin Hao still felt unsettled, for he had no absolute certainty.
His parents, his wife, and even his unborn child all lived on Earth; he wouldn’t allow the slightest accident to happen.
Qin Hao sat in his office browsing the system marketplace, looking for a weapon of overwhelming power that could also be produced within a month. Anything overly complicated was not an option at this point as it couldn’t be produced in time.
He browsed for a long time without finding anything suitable until he finally saw an item: a mini Star Destroyer Cannon. It was an energy weapon, a level above laser weapons, capable of absorbing various types of energy and converting it into the devastating power of the Star Destroyer Cannon. The exchange price was one hundred million achievement points.
Qin Hao chose to exchange. He still had several tens of millions of achievement points, but he had a lot of money now and didn’t need to worry about these points.
After the exchange, Qin Hao called Miao Jing into his office, “This is the production technology for the mini Star Destroyer Cannon. Produce it in the Saha Desert in Lijia State, and have those construction robots at the base start with this.”
Construction at the Saha Desert Base is now more than half complete, enough space to produce the Star Destroyer Cannon.
The area is hot all year round, with the sun almost directly overhead. The Star Destroyer Cannon requires a large amount of energy, so Qin Hao plans to install solar panels there to transfer the absorbed electrical energy to the cannon.
Normally, small Star Destroyer Cannons are equipped with energy stones, as most powerful Energy Cannons require them.
Energy stones contain a large amount of energy, enough to power an Energy Cannon.
His current laser guns, laser cannons, and Beam Recharge Cannons are all categorized as laser weapons, not true energy weapons.
The power of energy weapons is much greater than that of laser weapons. If laser weapons are likened to guns, then energy weapons are cannons, overwhelmingly superior in power to laser weapons.
The ion cannons in space are also beam weapons and are very powerful, but they still can’t compare to the Star Destroyer Cannon.
As days passed, half a month flew by in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao had been staying on Pu’er Island the whole time, arranging everything.
That day, he was at home with Du Wanrou and Zhao Yuying when his phone rang. It was Miao Jing calling: “Xiao Hao, the underwater resource detection equipment has discovered something special. Come and take a look.”
“What is it?” he asked curiously.
Miao Jing: “Some stones, but not ordinary ones. The detection equipment indicates they are energy stones. They’ve already been mined and brought back.”
Qin Hao’s spirits lifted upon hearing this. He had instructed the underwater resource detection equipment to scan the entire Atlantic seabed for resources days ago, and he hadn’t expected to have a discovery now.
He said to Du Wanrou and Zhao Yuying, “I need to step out for a bit because of some business.”
“Go ahead, but don’t overexert yourself. You haven’t been sleeping well these past few days,” Du Wanrou said with concern.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded. Indeed, he had not been sleeping well, plagued almost every night by dreams of an alien civilization invading Earth, with the planet succumbing to chaos, war raging, and countless homes ruined and lives lost.
Upon arriving at the base, Qin Hao found Miao Jing standing over a table looking at some creamy white stones.
Qin Hao approached and observed the stones, roughly seventy or eighty pieces, varying in size—from as small as a fist to as large as a basketball.
Indeed, these were energy stones, of the lower-grade variety, yet even these contained a terrifying amount of energy.
These low-grade energy stones were enough to fire the small Star Destroyer Cannon twice.
Qin Hao inquired of Miao Jing, “How is the production of the Star Destroyer Cannon going at the Saha Desert Base?”
“Almost ready in half a month’s time,” Miao Jing replied.
Qin Hao: “I hope those aliens decide to arrive a few days later.”
“Don’t think too much about it. What’s meant to come will come. We’ll deal with the enemy if they arrive and the flood if it comes; there’s always a way out,” Miao Jing embraced him with both hands, cheek pressed against his chest.
Qin Hao stroked her hair, his tone calm and resolute, “I will protect all of you and guard this land. If anyone dares to lay a finger on it, I will kill them.”
