Chapter 720 - Secondary Cannon Firing
"Thirteen percent of the shield remaining! The remaining 1.2 percent! ”
"Broken shield!"
"Dimension Armor Energy Absorption Loss Twelve Four!"
"The enemy attack is gone!" In the command center of the fortress, strings of data are constantly refreshed on the screen.
Although the fortress cannon on the surface of the Federation planet destroyed the shield of the Imperial flagship, it only consumed 12% of the energy that the dimensional armor could absorb.
With this level of attack, the Empire's dimensional armor should be able to hold out about four times, and then it can only be resisted by the letter crystal armor.
However, Li Mingze did not plan to let the Fortress continue to resist the next attack!
"The main cannon of the Bastion is dormant, and the secondary cannon is aimed at all the planets in this star system! Two secondary guns on each planet! Li Mingze sat up straight and put his hands into the holographic projection in front of him.
Golden rings continued to rotate around his hands, and the armor on the fortress suddenly bounced to the sides, and ten secondary guns with a barrel of hundreds of meters long slowly rose from under the armor to the outside of the fortress.
As the turrets rotated, the ten cannons were each aimed at the five planets in the star system.
"The Star Shatterer Cannon has begun to charge, and the Shield Breaker and Antimatter Shells have been reloaded!"
"The Shattered Star Cannon's energy storage is over, wait for the order to prepare for launch!" The officers beside Li Mingze reported loudly.
"Authorized by the highest authority, all secondary guns fired!" As Li Mingze gave an order, the constantly rotating rings on his hands suddenly tightened.
At the same time, five shield-breaking shells used to break the opponent's planetary shield were fired first, followed by antimatter shells filled with antimatter.
The shield-breaking projectile that did not carry antimatter had entered a sub-light state after the acceleration of the stance orbit, and the thrusters it carried inside also began to activate, and the five shells began to accelerate little by little, until their speed reached an astonishing 99.99% of the speed of light!
Within minutes, the shells were slamming into the shields on the planets' surfaces.
The sheer speed combined with the sheer mass of the shield-breaking projectiles, which are made of high-density alloys mined on white dwarfs, directly gave these shells unmatched destructive power.
At the same time that the shield breaking bomb came into contact with these planetary shields, these planetary shields began to shatter and disappear directly after they could not bear it....
The umbrella-shaped towers on the planet's ground also began to explode and disintegrate little by little from the umbrella-like structure at the top! The impact of the shield shattering projectile instantly short-circuited the entire system of the planetary shield.
These 30-meter-diameter shells composed of letter crystals actually possess the massive mass of an entire dreadnought! Such a massive cannonball can shatter directly on the planet's surface at sub-light speeds.
But this kind of cannonball consumes more energy, don't look at the empire easily fired five shield-breaking shells, but the energy required to accelerate this cannonball to sub-light speed is too staggering, and each of the Bastion's secondary cannons needs a full ten days of energy storage to fire a shield-breaking projectile.
In contrast, antimatter shells loaded with antimatter are undoubtedly much easier, requiring only half an hour of energy storage to fire.
The antimatter shells that followed the five shield-breaking shells also reached the surface of the planets.
At this time, the generals of the Federation did not even react, because at this time, there was only an instant gap between the shield shattering.
Five cannonballs filled with large doses of antimatter were instantly submerged beneath the surface of these planets.
In order to make the most of it, the Empire also plated a thin layer of letter crystal armor on its warhead.
Coupled with its spiral-shaped structure, these shells can easily rush towards the center of the earth as easily as if they had penetrated into tofu.
When these shells reach the center of the earth, the antimatter positions inside them are all closed, and in an instant the antimatter begins to react with the shell of the shell.
The officers of the Federation were relieved to see that the cannonballs fired by the Empire had sunk directly into the interior of the planet, but did not explode as they expected, and it seemed that the cannonballs fired by the Empire were all duds.
But the faces of the generals in the Federation Command changed, as the top leaders of the Federation, they knew what the secret weapons that the countries in the Federation had been researching.
Over the years, various federation countries have been secretly researching the use of antimatter to destroy planets, but due to the peaceful environment within the entire federation, and I don't know if other civilizations have developed this super weapon.
Therefore, the countries in the federation have not dared to put this antimatter weapon capable of destroying planets on the surface.
And these generals are the ones who are fortunate enough to be able to see their own civilization secretly experimenting with this weapon.
Because of the fear of exposure, their civilization has always searched for small moons in the star system that are on the verge of explosion or dying to conduct experiments.
The anomalous fluctuations generated by these explosions are all disguised by natural phenomena, so until now the ordinary people of various civilizations were unaware of the existence of this superweapon.
After all, it is too insecure for a cannonball with a diameter of tens of meters to destroy a planet.
These generals knew that when they were experimenting, in order to maximize the power of their weapons, they had to stuff antimatter shells into the center of the planet to detonate them.
And there may be no anomalous reaction for minutes or even tens of minutes after detonation!
Now the cannonballs that the Sith Empire fired into the ground of their five planets are also silent!
"Quick! Order the soldiers on these planets to evacuate immediately! One of the generals reacted and hurriedly ordered his opponent.
"It's too late, if the Sith Empire really shoots antimatter shells into the center of these five planets as we think, the shock wave from the explosion of these five planets will destroy all the nearby warships, and these soldiers will not be able to run away at all."
"Even we are in danger!" A general held his chin in his hands, and his tone was a little heavy.
Although their base is not built on the five planets attacked by the Empire, they are in the moons of one planet!
This moon, about the size of the Moon, would have had too much trouble keeping itself intact in the impact of a planetary explosion!
"Quick! Activate our planet's defenses! The other general said anxiously.
Originally, they planned to rely on the base's powerful stealth ability to wait for the battle to pass, but now they can't stay out of it, although I don't know if the empire has discovered them and why they didn't fire cannonballs at this planet, but it doesn't matter now, if they don't activate the shield, their entire moon could be shattered by the planet's explosive wreckage!
