Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Two blue beams struck the hatch simultaneously, the violent impact shaking the entire command center. Taking advantage of the opening in the energy shield created by the first electromagnetic railgun, the second electromagnetic railgun slammed into the hatch. A deep, jagged gash appeared on the thick alloy hatch. However, the hatch was far thicker than expected; one attack was insufficient to destroy it. "Fire again!" Falcon shouted. The electromagnetic railgun fired again, the beam hitting the same spot, widening the damage further, with thick metal fragments continuously falling off. After five consecutive attacks, the thick alloy hatch was finally breached, revealing a huge gap.

"Charge!" Falcon charged ahead, leading his team into the command center. The automated defense weapons inside immediately opened fire, a barrage of energy blasts raining down on the team. Using the breaches as cover, the team launched a counterattack, the sounds of energy rifle fire and explosions echoing throughout the command center. Graeme personally picked up an energy pistol and fired at the charging team. A member of the Ferdinand family was struck in the chest; the intense plasma heat melted his chest, and he collapsed to the ground, his blood staining the floor.

The battle unfolded inside the command center, with both sides engaging in close-quarters combat. Although the command center staff lacked professional combat training, they displayed astonishing will to fight, using their familiarity with the center's internal structure to maneuver against the team members in every corner. The remaining mechanical sentinels also put up a stubborn resistance within the command center, their high-frequency cutting blades gleaming coldly under the lights, relentlessly reaping lives.

Falcon weaved through the crowd, his high-frequency vibrating blade striking each target with precision. He dodged an attack from a mechanical sentinel, leaped into the air, and pierced the sentinel's core circuitry with a single strike. He then landed and rolled, avoiding Graeme's fire. Seeing his shot miss, Graeme turned to flee, but Falcon grabbed his shoulder and slammed him against the control panel. "Game over," Falcon's voice was icy cold.

Graeme struggled to break free, but Falcon held him down firmly. A glint of madness flashed in his eyes: "Even if we all die, you will never take control of the Sky Dome! The self-destruct program of the main power station has been activated. Before long, the entire core area will explode, turning the entire Sky Dome to ashes!"

Falcon's expression changed, and he immediately shouted into the communication channel: "Core peripheral cluster, proceed to the main power station immediately and prevent the self-destruct program from starting! Hurry!"

The core peripheral cluster team immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the main power station. The main power station now possessed only a small defensive force, which the team quickly breached, gaining entry. The technical team immediately took control of the control console and began hacking the self-destruct program. Time ticked by, the countdown on the console screen steadily decreasing, from twenty minutes to fifteen minutes, then to ten minutes, but the hacking effort encountered immense resistance.

"Captain, the self-destruct program has an extremely high encryption level, we need more time!" a member of the technical team shouted anxiously.

Falcon stared at Graeme, his eyes icy: "Disable the self-destruct program immediately, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Graeme's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Too late. Once the self-destruct program is activated, it cannot be manually shut down unless the core password is cracked, and you simply don't have time."

Falcon ignored Graeme and said into the communication channel, "Technical team, go all out, whatever the cost, stop the self-destruct program!"

The technical team members worked tirelessly, their fingers flying across the keyboards, sweat beading on their foreheads. With only five minutes remaining, the code on the screen remained a chaotic mess, and progress in cracking the code was slow. Just then, one of the team members suddenly had an idea: "Captain, the West Wing control node has backup control access to the main power station. We can try to forcefully overwrite the self-destruct program through the West Wing control node!"

"Execute now!"

The technical team at the west wing control node immediately sprang into action, connecting to the main power station's backup control interface and beginning to forcibly override the self-destruct program. With only one minute remaining on the countdown, the main power station's warning lights began flashing frantically, and the piercing alarm sounded again. Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the progress bar on the screen. When the countdown reached ten seconds, the cracking progress finally reached 100%, the self-destruct program was successfully disabled, the main power station's warning lights slowly went out, and the alarm stopped.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Falcon relaxed his clenched fists, a look of relief on his face. He looked at Graeme, who was pinned to the control panel, his eyes filled with despair, slumped to the ground. "Take him away and keep an eye on him!" Falcon ordered.

After the command center was captured, the main power station was quickly taken over by the Ferdinand family's forces. However, the battle was far from over; some remaining mechanical sentinels and personnel continued to put up a desperate resistance within the core area, with sporadic gunfire and explosions still occurring. Falcon ordered the various clusters to disperse and eliminate the remaining enemies, while simultaneously clearing the battlefield and rescuing the wounded.

Meanwhile, outside the Sky Dome space station, the Ferdinand family's support ships maintained a high level of vigilance. Multiple ships operated at full capacity with their force field shielding devices, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped the entire space station. This barrier not only shielded the space station from internal energy reactions and signal transmissions but also distorted surrounding light, rendering the space station completely invisible in space. Neither other Infinite Corporation outposts nor passing satellites, nor the Infinite Corporation's transport ships traveling between Earth and the Moon, could detect the Sky Dome's existence, nor were they aware of the week-long, brutal battle taking place inside the space station.

Days passed, and the battle entered its fifth day. The remaining enemies in the core area had been largely wiped out. The Ferdinand family members began methodically cleaning up the battlefield. The corridors were littered with the remains of mechanical sentinels, clone corpses, and damaged weapons and equipment. Thick blood clung to the metal debris, and the walls, floors, and ceilings emitted a faint, pungent odor. Medical teams traversed the areas, searching for wounded members and providing emergency treatment. The seriously wounded were carried onto medical ships and transported back to the family's rear base on Earth for further treatment, while the lightly wounded received initial treatment at temporary medical stations before immediately returning to their duties.

The engineering and technical teams busied themselves repairing damaged equipment and wiring, and regaining control of the space station's various control systems. The main control nodes of the west and north wings were further reinforced, the power supply to the main power station was stabilized, and the space station's functions gradually returned to normal. Falcon stood at the control console in the command center, looking at the space station's operational data on the screen, a hint of fatigue on his face, yet filled with unwavering determination. After a week of fighting, the Ferdinand family's forces had paid a heavy price; of the three hundred newly recruited combat personnel, less than one hundred remained, and the initial force had suffered more than half its casualties, with nearly half of its heavy equipment lost. However, they had ultimately succeeded in capturing the Sky Dome space station, achieving their predetermined objective.

"Captain, the cleanup work in all areas is basically complete, all the wounded have been transferred, and all control systems of the space station have been restored to normal. We have completely taken control of the Sky Dome," a team member reported to Falcon.

Falcon nodded: "Very good. Notify the technical team to conduct a full inspection of the space station's weapon systems, attempt to activate all available weapons and equipment, and at the same time strengthen the space station's defense system to prevent unexpected situations from occurring."

"Roger that!"

The technical team immediately conducted a comprehensive inspection of the space station's weapon systems. As the core space station of Infinite Corporation, the Sky Dome was equipped with a powerful defensive weapon system, including anti-aircraft turrets, energy shield generators, and electromagnetic railgun arrays. The inspection revealed that most weapon systems were intact; however, due to their long-term dormancy, they required activation and adjustment. The technical team members divided the work, activating each weapon system one by one and adjusting the parameters to ensure normal operation.

Upon inspecting the observation module atop the space station, the technical team discovered an anomaly. This module, located at the very top of the station and publicly declared as a device for observing celestial bodies and the space environment, had an internal structure drastically different from ordinary observation modules. After scanning with sophisticated instruments, the technical team discovered that the module contained no observation equipment at all, but instead concealed a massive orbital strike cannon.

"Captain, a critical situation has been discovered! An orbital strike cannon is hidden inside the observation module at the top of the space station!" The technical team members immediately reported to Falcon.

Upon hearing this, Falcon immediately rushed to the observation module. When he saw the orbital strike cannon inside, he was also shocked. The cannon was entirely dark black, tens of meters long, with a muzzle diameter exceeding three meters. It was made of high-strength alloy, its surface engraved with complex energy patterns, radiating a chillingly oppressive aura. Connected to the main power station, it received a continuous supply of energy, its power sufficient to destroy a large interstellar spaceship with a single shot, and even cause massive damage to planetary surfaces.

“This should be a weapon secretly developed by Infinite Corporation. I didn’t expect it to be hidden on the Sky Dome.” A sharp glint flashed in Falcon’s eyes. He immediately informed Sebastian at the Ferdinand family headquarters.

"Sir, we have discovered..."

Sebastian's original plan was merely to control the Sky Dome and use it as a base to gradually blur, control, and ultimately sever the Infinite Corporation's lunar headquarters' control and influence over the Earth branch. But after learning this news, and after nearly five minutes of silence, he issued a mad order.

"Opportunities to take the initiative are extremely rare, especially since we have the upper hand this time."

Upon hearing Sebastian's order, Falcon immediately understood his meaning. However, the matter was too significant, so he had to question Sebastian again to ensure he understood Sebastian's true intentions.

"Sir, you mean...we're going to attack Infinite Corporation's lunar headquarters?"

"Yes, you're right, we should take the initiative."

After a brief silence, Falcon cleared his throat and gave his answer.

"Yes, sir."

After ending the communication, Falcon took a few deep breaths, slapped himself, and then immediately gave orders to the technicians around him.

"Technical team, immediately debug this orbital strike cannon and attempt to activate it. Target the Infinite Corporation headquarters on the moon!"

"Ming... what did you say?!?"

"This is the master's order!"

"...yes!"

Clearly, not only the nearby technicians but also the other soldiers heard the news. This bombardment meant that the family and Infinite Corporation were about to face off directly. Although shocked, the family's soldiers were actually excited. Unlike Sebastian, the head of the Ferdinand family, they were unaware that the Ferdinand family only had a 4% chance of winning a direct confrontation with Infinite Corporation. They had always believed that the family's strength was equal to Infinite Corporation's, and in some ways, their belief wasn't entirely wrong. After all, the people and equipment taken away by the former chairman were indeed a fatal blow to Infinite Corporation that they hadn't yet realized.

After calming their excitement, the technical team immediately began debugging. They connected to the railgun's control system, cracked the encryption program, adjusted the energy transmission parameters, and gradually activated this terrifying weapon. As the debugging progressed, the railgun's weapon system was gradually cracked, and control was gradually taken into the hands of the technical team. As the railgun moved, the cannon began to emit a faint blue light, the energy patterns gradually lit up, and energy from the main power station was continuously supplied to the cannon. Energy began to gather at the muzzle, forming a huge blue ball of light.
