Sarna's fleet continued to move forward without noticing that there was a terrifying thing waiting for her to approach.
"Commander, 87% of the enemy fleet has been covered, which is almost the limit!"
"Detonate!"
"Yes, the terminal bomb has started to execute the detonation procedure. The detonation was successful!"
As the weapon commander finished speaking, it could be clearly seen in the surveillance screen that the dark void was suddenly illuminated a little, but...
That’s all!
Dud
This was a thought that quickly flashed through Lavoisier's mind.
It was indeed an explosion, but the range of the explosion was nowhere near the 10,000 light-years that Elfie said
Well, except for the fact that it lit up a bit when it exploded, but that's about it.
"Turn on the Knox particle detector and display its diffusion range in the tactical image!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Under Lavoisier's confused eyes, Elfie commanded again.
Suddenly, a dark red area appeared in the huge tactical image tracking in front of him, and it was spreading. At this moment, it covered almost half of the original bright red area representing Sarna's fleet.
"This is?"
Lavoisier, who also saw this scene, already had a guess in his mind, but still opened his mouth to get Elfie's confirmation.
"This is the terminal bomb, a weapon that kills people invisible!"
really
When he saw the tactical images before, Lavoisier had already guessed that most of the killing methods of this terminal bomb were similar to viral weapons.
And Elfie's answer can be regarded as confirming the doubts in his mind.
Of course, Elfie would not give a more detailed explanation of the terminal bomb. If Lavoisier mistakenly thought it was a virus weapon, then it would be a virus weapon!
At the same time, the perspective switched to the fleet flagship where Sarna was located.
Knox particles will not cause instantaneous death of living creatures. Even if the terminal bomb enhances its lethality, it will still take several minutes before complete death occurs.
However, although there have been no deaths yet, some people have already felt physical discomfort.
"Why do I suddenly have a headache and numbness and weakness in my limbs?"
"Are you the same? I felt something was wrong from the beginning!"
"I don't have a headache, but I feel a little nauseous."
"No, I feel like my head is hurting so much that it's going to explode!"
At first, some people only felt some mild symptoms, but as time passed, it became clear that the symptoms were getting stronger and stronger.
Looking at the increasingly noisy bridge, Sarna frowned.
Speaking of which, since just now, even she, a peak ninth-level dark energy user, has also felt a bit of discomfort, but the situation is better than that of others on the bridge.
After all, although ninth-level dark energy users cannot completely resist Knox particles, they still have some resistance, so their body collapse time will be much slower than that of ordinary people.
Even.
If you escape from the range of Knox particles in time, you may still be able to save your life!
Looking at the crew members who were gradually becoming chaotic, Sarna began to think.
That sudden burst of strange energy just now.
At this moment, the physical condition of all soldiers is in question.
Damn it
Could it be a large-scale viral weapon
"Quick, order the entire fleet to start the hyperspace engine immediately and leave this area!"
However, no one responded.
No one even carries out this order!
It was only then that Sarna discovered that one-third of the people on the entire bridge had fallen to the ground motionless, and the situation of the remaining people was already very bleak.
No, we have to leave immediately, we can’t delay it any longer!
"I am Commander Sarna, all battleships, pay attention, all battleships, pay attention!"
"The opponent is suspected of using a wide range of virus weapons. Each ship immediately starts the hyperspace engine and breaks away to the third assembly point!"
"repeat."
When Sarna personally conducted the fleet-wide broadcast and looked at the bridge, there were less than ten people still standing.
Sarna knew that these ten people were all eighth-level dark energy users.
However, although they can still stand, the situation is not very good either.
Her men were no longer reliable, so Sarna walked straight to the edge of the helmsman's seat, pushed away the helmsman who had lost his vital signs, and sat directly on it.
Skillfully operating the helmsman's control panel, he locked the target at the third assembly point and started the hyperspace engine.
A few seconds later, Sarna's car quickly entered the hyperspace channel opened in front of the battleship.
There are also billions of battleships that have not been affected and a very few battleships with ninth-level dark energy users that have the same behavior. The total number is less than 7 billion.
As for the rest of the battleships
At this moment, they have all turned into ghost battleships, and they continue to move forward relying on inertia in the void.
"how do you feel?"
After confirming the final result, Elfie asked Lavoisier beside him.
"It's amazing. I never thought that a weapon could be so powerful. Even the most powerful zero-point weapon developed by our Lanyao Republic is only one percent as powerful as the terminal bomb."
Nodding, Lavoisier said.
This is not to say that Valassie is swaying, but in fact that is the case.
Even for the zero-point bomb, its maximum damage range is only a few dozen AU. Compared to the terminal bomb's 10,000 light-years, one percent is a huge compliment!
"However, the delivery method seems very limited!"
"Thanks to you, you saw it right away!"
Elphie was not unhappy because Lavoisier pointed out this problem. On the contrary, she was even more satisfied with Lavoisier.
Indeed, the terminal bomb does have great limitations in the way it is dropped. Not to mention other things, on the conventional battlefield of an eighth-level civilization or above, the terminal bomb cannot be used at all!
After all, there are only three ways to drop a terminal bomb.
The first is like this time against Sarna's fleet, setting up an ambush in advance and then detonating it.
The second is to mount the terminal bomb on a hyperspace vehicle and directly reach the target through hyperspace navigation.
The last one is to teleport through space, where the terminal bomb is directly teleported through the star gate to a designated location and detonated.
Let’s not talk about the first method for now, as for the second and third methods
Which eighth-level civilization is fighting now without interfering with hyperspace and space teleportation first
Drop it directly when the two armies are facing each other
Don't be kidding. It has a killing range of 10,000 light years. Are you planning to include your own fleet in it
Therefore, for now, before there is a breakthrough in delivery technology, the terminal bomb is actually harmful to civilizations above level eight.
Not big!
