Chapter 758: Testing

In a star system at the core of the Milky Way, the dark red old star is releasing its last residual heat.

In the orbit not far from this star, a sky blue planet is slowly rotating around it.

Ninety-five percent of the surface of this planet is composed of oceans, and the other five percent is islands.

Originally, this planet has been occupied by the Zerg, but everything changed with the arrival of a purple crystal battleship from the sky a few days ago.

The purple battleship, like a tower, stands on the largest island on this planet.

Under this "tower", hundreds of assimilated people floating in the air are wandering aimlessly.

These assimilated people are different from the assimilated people they infect. They do not have legs under their bodies, but countless crystal fragments are mixed in a pale white mist.

Behind these assimilated people, there are also hundreds of diamond-shaped crystals floating, and these diamond-shaped crystal fragments look exactly the same as the crystal fragments that penetrated the shuttle.

On several large islands around this island, hundreds of mantis insects are being chased by several crystalized mantis assimilated insects.

The creatures assimilated by these assimilated creatures seem to retain their original appearance, and humans still roughly present human form after being assimilated.

After these Zergs were assimilated, the appearance of the assimilated insects still retained their original appearance, and the sharp claws made of sharp crystals could easily pierce into the exposed rocks.

In the starry sky not far from this planet, ten white warships only one kilometer long suddenly sailed out of hyperspace.

When these ten warships just left hyperspace, the assimilated people on the ground on the planet suddenly raised their heads and looked into the starry sky.

They seemed to have discovered the ten warships that had just arrived.

But strangely, even if they discovered the appearance of these ten warships, the assimilated warships did not react at all, but continued to stand quietly in place.

"Sir, the other side has not made any unusual moves." In the bridge of the Imperial Zeus III battleship, ten captains sat on both sides of a long conference table, and at the end of the conference table stood Eva.

"Don't worry about them, attack this enemy ship immediately, use all weapons, I want to see what trump card this battleship has." After Eva said this, her figure disappeared in the bridge.

The other ten captains shook their heads and disappeared. These ten battleships all used remote control. Although this greatly affected their combat effectiveness, after all, this unknown civilization was too mysterious. The possibility of these ten battleships hanging up was as high as 99%.

For the lives of the imperial soldiers, of course, it is better to be safe.

Tens of minutes later, the imperial fleet had already sailed into the orbit of this planet.

The purple battleship on this planet still had no reaction, which made Eva wonder if there was any conspiracy.

"Fire! Attack with all your strength!" With Eva's order, thousands of space windows suddenly opened on the outside of the ten Zeus III battleships!

The barrels of rail guns and beam guns stretched out from the windows and aimed at the surface of the planet on the side of the fleet.

Just as the ship-borne weapons of the Imperial battleship were about to be launched, the crystal battleship on the ground suddenly reacted.

Hundreds of diamond-shaped crystals with a diameter of ten meters suddenly separated from its body and shot into the orbit.

In less than a second, these fragments flew through the atmosphere and arrived in front of the Imperial battleship.

The super shield on the outer layer of the Imperial battleship only blocked these fragments for less than three seconds before being completely penetrated.

Then came the Empire's dimensional armor. When these fragments hit the dimensional armor, a large amount of energy was released and filled into the dimensional armor.

However, as the energy poured into the dimensional armor, the volume of these crystal fragments began to decrease sharply.

When the dimensional armor absorbed all the energy and broke, the volume of these crystals was only about half.

And this half-sized crystal fragment drilled into the battleship again, and as it drilled, the surrounding armor began to crystallize little by little.

"Foreign matter intrusion detected, the structure of the outer armor is being changed!"

"Changes in the molecular structure of the armor have been detected. According to the current rate of change, the outer armor will be completely transformed into a crystal state in three hours."

"The structure of the crystal is being scanned, and it will take some time to get the results!" The noisy discussion of many officers sounded in the bridge of the Imperial battleship.

After comparison, it was found that the speed of this crystal transformation seems to be related to the density of the substance.

The greater the density of the substance, the slower the transformation speed, that is, under the same volume, the higher the density of the object, the slower the transformation speed into crystal.

Just like the outer armor of the Imperial Zeus III battleship, because it is the sapphire mined from the white dwarf, its density is far higher than that of normal metal.

Because of this, it takes only three hours for the entire armor layer to be assimilated.

You should know that these three hours do not mean that all the armor has been assimilated, but only that the thickness of the sapphire armor less than one meter has been assimilated!

If you observe it with your naked eyes now, you will find that a little bit of crystal is spreading around in the hole drilled out of the sapphire armor.

However, these are all theoretical data. You must know that this crystal is rotating at high speed, trying to drill through the thick crystal armor in front of it.

As it rotates, its size is shrinking, accompanied by extremely high temperatures.

While the opponent's attack has not yet broken through the armor, the weapons of the Imperial warships aim at the "tower" and fire shells and beams.

As the Empire observed at the beginning, energy weapons seem to have no effect on this kind of crystal. No matter how many beam cannons attack, they can't make the opponent produce a crack!

In contrast, the effect of kinetic weapons is more obvious. As shells hit the crystal warship, the crystals around the hit point immediately burst and scattered around.

Under the impact of thousands of shells, the whole island seemed to be raining crystals. Countless crystal fragments fell to the ground. The sun's rays penetrated these fragments and became colorful, and the sky turned into beautiful rainbow colors.

The "tower" that was originally tens of kilometers high was like a gnawed corn, with ugly gaps on the surface, and the opponent's height was also cut off by a large part, leaving only four-fifths of the original height.

There was even a kilometer-long crystal fragment that began to fall to the ground because its bottom was pierced.
