Chapter 1458 The decisive battle begins

Chapter 1459 The Final Battle Begins

"When will the second batch of support for Earth arrive?" Karu asked from the side.

He also had his eye on more defense modules.

Qin Hao said with a smile, "The 1000 modules are expected to arrive in 5 days. China's space program and NASA's Starship will also arrive one day before the final battle. At that time, our firepower will be even stronger."

After the conference, the team members and the tribespeople devoted themselves to the final preparations.

The elders of the Karuba tribe led their people in softly chanting prayers of strength around the core, while the bronze plaque gleamed with a pale blue light.

Karoo's miners inspected each defense module, cleaning the interfaces with copper ore powder.

On the other side, Ali's team patrolled around the defensive line, the beeping of the Blue Crystal detectors echoing across the desert.

But no one noticed that Cole, who was imprisoned, secretly bit through the miniature communicator in his teeth and sent a short signal.

Arya's detector suddenly detected this signal, and her expression changed drastically after deciphering it.

She quickly turned to Qin Hao and said, "Qin Hao! Cole deliberately allowed himself to be captured! He just sent intelligence saying that our core energy has reached 90% and the defense line construction is complete. He wants to lure the Crystal Raiders into launching a general offensive ahead of schedule!"

Qin Hao immediately walked to the monitor, where the screen displayed: "A large number of unidentified energy signals have appeared outside the orbit of the home planet. The Crystal Raider fleet has entered the alert range."

It was completed three days ahead of schedule.

"Adjust the deployment immediately!" Qin Hao's voice was firm and resolute.

"Increase the power of the pulse barrier to 110%, maintain the dual-core synchronization rate at 95%, and tell the Earth support fleet to speed up!"

Just then, the pulse barrier of the mother planet's main core suddenly lit up with a blinding red light, and an alarm blared across the desert.

Qin Hao hurriedly stared at the synchronization rate monitoring screen.

Before the 95% value could stabilize, a faint black beam of light, like black daggers, pierced the barrier from the direction of the interstellar passage in the distance.

"Main guns, prepare to fire!" Arya's shout had barely faded when...

The detector's defense value dropped from 100%, to 30%, 25%, 20%, and finally stopped at 30%. A 5-meter-wide gap appeared on the surface of the barrier, and debris carrying energy waves rushed towards the core.

Black smoke instantly billowed from defense modules 3 and 5, and the screen went completely black.

"Ali! Take three teams to block the breach! Use copper anti-magnetic plates!" Qin Hao grabbed the walkie-talkie, his voice urgent.

Ali's team members immediately rushed over carrying the anti-magnetic plates.

This was manufactured by a machinery factory in the Democratic Republic of Congo according to the diamagnetic standard of energy. The outer layer is coated with 60% high-purity copper ore powder, which can reflect 25% of dark matter energy.

They pieced the anti-magnetic plates together at the gap, and as soon as the pale green light appeared, the Crystal Raiders' landing ship broke through the smoke and dust, and the infantrymen charged towards the core with anti-magnetic rifles in hand.

"Kam! Use the nameplates to locate them!" Qin Hao shouted.

Kam, from the Karuba tribe, carried a bronze plaque and walked briskly behind the defensive line.

Wherever the nameplate glows red, he sticks a short copper stick into the ground.

"There are three here! And two more are behind the sand dune on the left!"

The team members immediately adjusted the trigger range of the blue crystal mines, and with a few loud "booms", the infantrymen at the forefront fell straight to the ground.

Just then, Karu ran over with 50 armed members of a Congolese tribe, the tips of his bronze spears covered with shards of blue crystal.

"Mr. Qin! We're here to help you! You need 10 intact modules after the battle, and the tribe's energy station is still lacking defensive equipment!"

"No problem!" Qin Hao readily agreed.

"You go and guard the left gap. Aji will lead you to build a copper fence!"

Aji immediately carried the fence parts over. He was familiar with the tribe's construction methods and could assemble a 10-meter-long defensive line in 5 minutes. The spearmen stood behind the fence, preparing to defend against the charging infantry.

Just as the defense line was stabilized, an urgent report came through Pang Wanshan's walkie-talkie.

"President Qin! Our transport convoy has been blocked in the interstellar passage! The Crystal Raiders have entangled two ships with antimagnetic nets, and we can't unload the modules at all!"

Qin Hao's heart sank.

Those were a full 1000 Earth-supported defense modules; without them, we simply couldn't withstand the second wave of attacks.

"Aji! Take two people and go to provide support in a small antimagnetic ship! Use copper powder tracking technology to find the interface of the antimagnetic network!"

Aji immediately obeyed the order and took out a small bag of copper ore powder from his backpack.

He had previously used this method to find hidden mineral deposits when tracking mineral veins in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As the small antimagnetic ship broke through the atmosphere and approached the transport convoy, he sprinkled copper powder onto the antimagnetic net. The powder seemed to come alive, climbing along the energy trajectory of the net and finally gathering on a copper interface.

“Aria! Copper contacts found on the interface! What do we do?” Aji shouted into the walkie-talkie.

Arya's voice immediately came through: "Use a high-frequency pulse gun to hit the contacts! It can melt the circuit!"

Aji raised his pulse gun, aimed it at the interface, and pulled the trigger. The pale blue beam struck the contact point, instantly disabling the antimagnetic net, and the two transport ships finally broke free of their restraints.

"The modules are fine! It's just that two of them were damaged by the net!" Pang Wanshan's voice was filled with relief.

Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask him to speed up.

The voice of the Crystal Guardian suddenly rang in my mind.

"The Crystal Raiders' main cannon cooldown is almost over. They'll launch their second attack in two hours! Everyone, be on high alert!"

"Van der Sar! Fix the module now! Quickly!" Qin Hao shouted into the communicator.

Van der Sar was squatting next to the decommissioned Module 3, holding parts of an old energy synchronizer from 1995, which he had found at the old experimental base on the home planet. The capacitor and module models matched perfectly.

"Don't worry! I can repair 30 units per hour, so I can definitely get the barriers in time for the second round!"

The elders of the Karuba tribe, along with the elders of the three tribes, set up a temporary altar between the two cores, and arranged the copper energy-conducting rings in a circle.

Their chanting of the Joint Energy Stabilization Prayer wove an invisible energy network across the desert, and the energy value of the main core slowly rose from 85% to 90%, while the synchronization rate stabilized at 92%.

"One hour left! Hurry!" Qin Hao glanced at the time; the transport team's glowing spots had already appeared at the end of the interstellar passage.

"Pang Wanshan, when the module arrives, unload it at the dual-core connection point first, that's the weak point!"

"Roger that!"

Pang Wanshan's transport ship was getting closer and closer, but no one noticed that behind a sand dune connected to the dual core, two dark figures were attaching chips to the transmission lines.

They were Cole's accomplices. The antimagnetic chip in their hands glowed with a faint black light; the moment it touched the circuit, the synchronization rate quietly dropped by 0.5%.

Just as Van der Sar connected the 30 repaired modules to the barrier, the synchronization rate monitoring screen suddenly turned red.

92%的数值像断了线的珠子,75%、70%、68%,最后停在65%。

The surface of the transmission line was covered with black lines, like rusty iron, and it crumbled at the slightest touch.

"It's an antimagnetic chip!"

Arya squatted down beside the power line, picked up a small piece of debris with tweezers, and placed it under the microscope.

"Cole's men buried it here beforehand to absorb core energy!"

She pulled out the 1995 experiment log and pointed to the page with her finger on "Core Impurity Removal".

"Old John wrote that you should use a copper energy-conducting rod dipped in a mixture of blue crystal powder to pull out the chip, and also use prayers to suppress energy fluctuations!"

"I'll go get the energy rod!"

Kam grabbed his toolbox and ran toward the main core. He had only run 50 meters when two dark figures sprang out from behind the sand dunes, their anti-magnetic daggers aimed straight at his chest.

"They're Cole's accomplices!"

Kam dodged to the side, but the dagger still sliced ​​through his anti-magnetic suit, causing his arm to instantly swell and turn red. The detector showed a radiation level of 0.7 Sv/h.

He endured the pain and smashed the other man's helmet with the bronze nameplate. One man staggered, and the other took the opportunity to snatch a power rod from the toolbox and ran away.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Kam pulled out his walkie-talkie and called for help. Ali's team quickly arrived, and Blue Crystal used a tranquilizer dart to strike the accomplice who was trying to steal the energy rod, finally managing to retrieve it.

Cam returned to the line, clutching his wound, with only a conducting rod left in his hand.

"This is all that's left, is it enough?"

"Enough! Mix the solution at a 1:2 ratio!"

Arya poured the blue crystal powder and copper ore powder into a container, added water and stirred it into a paste.

Kam held the energy conductor rod, dipped it in the mixture, and carefully inserted it into the black lines of the circuit.

As soon as the energy guide rod touched the chip, it emitted a faint blue light, the black lines gradually faded, and the synchronization rate began to slowly recover, reaching 70%, 75%, 80%, and finally stabilizing at 85%.

"It's stable for now!" Aria turned off the detector and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard arguing behind her.

It turned out that Karu and Marcus were arguing heatedly around the Earth Support Module that had just been removed.

Karu said that the tribes in the Democratic Republic of Congo held the breach for three hours, suffering five casualties, and that the equipment was divided among 30 units.

Marcus brought 100 Zulu tribal militiamen, and upon arrival, he went to patrol the route, requesting 25 units to be assigned to him.

"Stop arguing! Look at the data!" Qin Hao slammed the defense contribution sheet in front of the two of them.

"The Kalu tribe's defense lasted 3 hours, with 5 casualties, and was divided into 28 units. The Marcus tribe patrolled for 1 hour, with no casualties so far, and was divided into 20 units. Additional units will be added later based on actual contributions."

He pointed to the numbers on the table and continued, "The modules are prioritized for deployment on the dual-core connection, and each unit is fitted with a Blue Crystal moisture-proof chip, which can improve the anti-interference capability by 15%, and the synchronization rate will no longer drop."

Karu stared at the number 28, then glanced at the parameters of the moisture-proof chip, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll send 30 miners to help install the modules, and I guarantee it will be deployed within half an hour!"

Marcus relented and waved for the armed men to move the modules.

"Go and guard the right-hand sand dune. Report any situation immediately!"

As Ali and his team were checking along the route, Kam suddenly shouted, "The nameplate is responding!"

He held the bronze plaque and stopped in front of a pile of rubble; the plaque gleamed with a blinding red light.

The team members cleared away the rubble and found five of Cole's accomplices hiding underneath, each clutching a remote control for an energy detonator.

"If the synchronization rate is below 70%, blow up the line!" the captured accomplice confessed, panting.

"Kerr said to let the core energy go berserk."

Aria took the remote control, opened the casing to take a look, and suddenly laughed: "This can be modified into a counter-signal transmitter! Attach it to the barrier, and it can interfere with the Crystal Raiders' fire control system!"

Van der Sar immediately found a soldering iron and modified it with parts from an old energy synchronizer from 1995. Twenty minutes later, the transmitter was connected to the barrier.

The detector showed that "the main gun hit rate of the Crystal Scavenger is expected to decrease by 30 percent".

Qin Hao glanced at the time. There were only 30 minutes left before the second round of attacks by the Crystal Raiders. Pang Wanshan's transport team was still unloading the last batch of modules, Karu's miners were attaching moisture-proof chips to the modules, and Marcus's armed men were marking warning points by inserting short copper sticks next to the lines.

Under the pale purple sunset, the defenses of the mother planet slowly wove into a net.

But he knew that whether this net could withstand a second wave of attacks depended on whether Earth's warships could arrive in time.

As soon as the night sky over the home planet darkened, pale blue lights appeared in the direction of the interstellar passage.

The 10 interstellar warships from China's space program and NASA have finally arrived.

The blue crystal pulse warheads on the ship's hull glowed faintly, and as soon as they entered service, they were aimed at the direction in which the crystal raiders were retreating.

"Module linkage complete! Defense value reaches 130%!" Aria's voice was filled with excitement.

The detector showed that "the original 448 modules and the Earth 1000 modules have been connected to the network, covering a range of 50 kilometers".

The energy body of the Guardian floated beside the warship, condensing into a pale blue mark.

"Follow the markers! You can hit their shield interfaces!"

Ali's team had already set up pulse guns behind the barrier, while members of the Karuba tribe held up bronze nameplates to mark the positions of the Crystal Raider infantry in real time.

The miners of Karu lay prone behind the copper fence, their blue crystal tranquilizer darts loaded.

Marcus's armed men gripped their spears and stared at the distant sand dunes.
