#848 - Chapter 848: New mecha is the trigger condition? A complete ceasefire! The choice of differen
Beidou and Gaofen satellites provide monitoring and positioning.
The command center, the front lines, and the space-based particle cannons are all under the control of an AI system.
An integrated space-air information war!
Chen Hao's instructions were transmitted to the battlefield immediately.
The army retreats.
The air force stays away from the battlefield.
However...
Not all of the ten thousand mecha were destroyed. Moreover, there were still four new mecha. To avoid being hunted down during the retreat, they had to fight while retreating.
Then.
An even more terrifying scene appeared!
Swish, swish, swish!
Many particle beams locked onto the four new mecha.
The new mecha were fast?
A speed of Mach 41 was not much different from being stationary compared to a particle beam traveling at 200,000 kilometers per second. The mecha were hit one after another.
But!
Being hit didn't mean they could be damaged!
One of the mecha was hit by particle beams of various calibers, as many as hundreds at the same time, including heavy particle cannons, but...
The blue-white energy shield outside its body actually blocked all the attacks!
To put it into perspective, this level of attack, even if it didn't hit the same spot, would at least severely damage a giant mecha.
But for the new mecha...
It was completely useless!
No!
The energy shield only weakened slightly.
"What?!"
Shi Dali was stunned.
"So, this is their true strength!" Chen Hao said with a solemn tone.
"N-No, that's not it!"
Shi Dali said anxiously, "Chairman Chen, it's not what you think! She said that the activation conditions are only met when their civilization faces a devastating crisis—just losing a battle doesn't count as facing destruction, right?!"
What?!
Chen Hao's expression changed drastically.
A crisis of destruction was the activation condition.
Just losing a battle wouldn't lead to the destruction of the civilization.
So...
These four mecha were not the alien civilization's true trump card.
But rather a condition!
In other words, the four new mecha might be weapons left behind by the alien civilization's predecessors. Once these mecha were destroyed, it would be assumed that the alien civilization had no more trump cards to fight against the enemy and was facing destruction.
At that time, the real war would begin!
...
At this moment.
In space, more than a hundred second-generation particle cannons received Chen Hao's new instructions.
Previously, the second-generation particle cannons had not participated in the battle. In Chen Hao's view, since the more numerous first-generation particle weapons could unilaterally crush the enemy, the second-generation particle cannons didn't need to participate—this was to conceal their strength.
Now that the situation had completely changed, the second-generation particle cannons had to be used!
Second-generation technology had been used before.
Switching from burst fire to continuous attacks.
However, the second-generation particle cannon technology in the war armor he took to India was not perfect enough, and it was completely scrapped after one overload.
After improvements, this kind of overload attack could be used three to five times.
Of course.
It would still be scrapped after three to five times.
Overload mode!
Charging!
Firing!
Whoosh!
The particle beams, as thick as thighs, were no longer firing in bursts like before.
More than a hundred beams of light descended from the sky.
Divided into four parts.
Locking onto the four new mecha respectively.
Like ladders connecting the heavenly realm, continuously outputting terrifying attack power!
This time, the four new mecha couldn't withstand it. Facing the continuous output, and all from space-based heavy particle cannons, the shields faded at an extremely fast rate.
The new mecha's defense, combat power, and speed far exceeded those of the hundred giant mecha.
But facing the concentrated fire of second-generation heavy particle cannons...
They could only resist for a moment!
"Stop!"
Just as the blue-white energy shield was about to disappear.
Suddenly!
Chen Hao quickly keyed in new instructions.
Without any delay, the moment the instructions were entered, more than a hundred beams of light disappeared simultaneously.
"Commander, this..."
General Wang was stunned. "Why did you stop? The second-generation particle cannons' overload operation time isn't just this long, is it?"
In overload mode, it could last for half a minute!
How long had it been just now?
A dozen seconds!
"Let's see their reaction first!"
Chen Hao's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the screen.
The new mecha were the trigger condition?
In other words.
If these four mecha were not destroyed, the core condition would not be triggered, and the alien civilization would not be able to activate its super technology.
But, there was a problem!
If the alien civilization discovered that the surface civilization didn't have the ability to destroy these four mecha, would they take the opportunity to wreak havoc?
With the combat power of these four mecha, if energy depletion wasn't a concern...
It would definitely be a disaster!
...
Underground world.
They watched the entire war at Lake Winnenn completely.
Neither the single-soldier mecha nor the giant mecha were a match for the surface civilization.
Even!
Even after using the four divine weapons, the energy shields still decayed at an alarming rate under the continuous attacks of heavy particle cannons, which meant...
The divine weapons were not invincible against the surface civilization.
But...
It was very strange!
The energy shields clearly couldn't hold on, but the enemy's attacks suddenly stopped.
Now there were two choices.
Since the attacks had stopped, catching rats would be simple.
Another choice...
"Their stopping the attacks, does it mean that continuous attacks can't last too long?" A high-level official suggested.
The continuous attack time was limited.
Just right!
Not enough to break through the shield!
"If the surface civilization doesn't have the force to break through the shield, we can completely use the divine weapons to completely destroy them!" Another high-level official echoed.
"Don't forget, they still have non-continuous attack weapons."
The elder at the head of the table said in a deep voice, "What if they use all their weapons? What if they produce more continuous attack weapons? At that time, what if all our divine weapons are destroyed?"
"Then open the forbidden zone!" Someone said excitedly.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly!
The elder at the head of the table was furious, "Now, have you forgotten the ancestors' instructions?!"
The current enemy was only the surface civilization.
And opening the forbidden zone...
The ancestors had long given instructions: the forbidden zone was the entire race's last trump card in a desperate situation, and at the same time, once opened... the civilization would return to the old path that the ancestors had once walked—that would be the abyss!
Including their current stage, the direction of technological development was very strange, with no development of long-range attack weapons.
And using mecha as war weapons...
Was all related to the instructions!
The conference room fell silent.
After a long time.
The elder who had previously said to open the forbidden zone and was scolded, shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's catch rats."
In the repeated clashes with the surface civilization, everyone's hearts were filled with fire because the losses were too heavy.
Why were they at a disadvantage when they clearly had more advanced technology?
Many of them wanted to open the forbidden zone and obtain the technology left by their ancestors.
But...
The words of the superiors had awakened them.
The forbidden zone.
Was a double-edged sword!
Although they didn't know what was inside the forbidden zone, the ancestors' instructions were there.
Once opened, it would put the entire civilization in a dangerous abyss.
Even, irredeemable!
