Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Chapter 646 Zhang Xun Awakens

Large parts are being rapidly moved to the installation point by two EVA units.

The macro cannon installed on the Death Star was far larger than those in Warhammer, but it was still very small compared to the Starkiller cannon.

"Hurry up, the Death Star is waiting at the front!"

Zhao Wanyang was very dissatisfied with the speed of the two EVAs and urged the two drivers to complete the mission as soon as possible.

"Damn it, these are two biological combat weapons, not engineering equipment. Why didn't you use a gravity beam to install them?"

Asuka had a million complaints about her mission.

"The gravity beam will affect the internal anti-gravity device. Besides, the accuracy of the gravity beam is not high. Stop complaining. I built all your mechs. I know the data very well. Get to work!"

After scolding Asuka, Zhao Wanyang, who was monitoring the black hole bomb in real time, turned around and continued to adjust the bomb's parameters to ensure that it would not explode on the Death Star. Of course, Zhao Wanyang would not use her real body to do such an extremely dangerous thing.

The other three technicians were ensuring the accuracy of the gun body installation, because the black hole bomb had not been test-fired, so the technical department had to ensure that the launch would not go wrong.

Within Mars' space defense perimeter, the Executor spacecraft is being bombarded by two opposing forces.

After a long period of fighting, the fleet size remained at around forty ships. This was achieved thanks to the cover provided by the Martian shields and the continuous production of warships from the factories below.

"How are the preparations for the Death Star going?"

Besides coordinating the Martian defense firepower network, Natal also had to ensure the strength of the fleet's shields and the counterattack of the phalanx. Tasks such as the withdrawal and repair of damaged warships were left to Yu Qilan.

These tasks may seem small, but in reality, they are comparable to the millions of battlefields on Earth. Without Tianwen's assistance, even with enhanced physical abilities, it would be impossible to maintain command for an extended period.

"The project has twelve hours left. The weapon is not just installed; they need to fire an experimental shell, since launching a black hole bomb requires specific data."

"Tell them to hurry. Tell Zemo to hurry up on Earth. I don't think one bomb can solve the battlefield."

The busy crowd had no time to pay attention to Zhang Xun. However, Zhang Xun, who was soaking in the nutrient solution, was blinking rapidly. He had exhibited this muscle twitching behavior before, but it was not as intense as this time, so the monitoring system did not report it.

"Damn, my head hurts so much, I feel completely disoriented. Is the house leaking? Why do I feel like I've fallen into a puddle?"

Zhang Xun's consciousness oscillated between lucidity and confusion, and the chaotic conversation only made him feel irritated.

"Wake up, hey, it's time to get up. You wet the bed and you're floating."

"Who's talking nonsense? Even if I peed three meters in a typhoon, I still wouldn't have that much!"

Zhang Xun suddenly opened his eyes in the incubation tank. As Zhang Xun regained full consciousness, the alarm in the medical room was quickly relayed to Natal.

However, Natal had no time to look at that moment.

"The enemy has a second Ultimate Hypermorph, and it can now be confirmed that it is Unicron!"

Two giants, each 100,000 kilometers apart, were locked in a hand-to-hand combat in space. Although Natal was not the primary target, the Executor's 19 kilometers was still too small. Without the combined shields of the fleet, even the slightest scratch would destroy these warships.

"Once Zhao Wanyang has completed the preparations, immediately launch the black hole bomb. I require you to detonate it between two special super variants."

The bridge of the Executor was shaking violently due to the impact of a large number of high-speed metal objects. Even though the bridge had a powerful shock absorption system, it was only slightly better than nothing in the face of the opponent's unreasonable size.

"These are the test data from the previous test firing. Quick, Galen, modify the gun mount parameters. I'll be done right away. The shells are already on their way."

The Zhao Wanyang puppet, fixed to the black hole bomb by the auxiliary arm, is racing against time to modify the corresponding gravitational parameters. This extremely dangerous weapon of mass destruction is not allowed to be connected to the Tianwen system according to Zhang Xun's requirements. Even the weapon parameters must undergo multiple independent verifications before it can be used.

This overly extreme insurance model greatly increased Zhao Wanyang's workload. Even though she had already verified the data in her mind, she still used her personal device to verify it again to ensure that nothing went wrong. The extremely tight time constraints forced her to abandon the puppet.

"Alright! Zhao Wanyang, the equipment is all set up. You should get off now. I don't want your puppet to cause any abnormal parameters during launch!"

From the remote safety control room, Galen called out to Zhao Wanyang via communication. The hastily modified cabin had not undergone any soundproofing treatment, and the noise from other equipment was making his head vibrate.

Just before the black hole bomb entered the cannon barrel, Zhao Wan released the auxiliary arm that was securing her, and her puppet fell directly from a height of 100 meters.

Advanced technology doesn't automatically add various functions to all puppets. To ensure flexibility and reduce costs, consumables don't have flight capabilities at all. The cyborg puppet crashed directly to the ground, forming a white graffiti.

"I'm really fed up with this madwoman. Forcibly severing neural connections is extremely painful. I really don't know if she can even be considered human."

Garen glanced at the puppet fragments being recycled by the service robots, and seemed to have gained a better understanding of his superior's temperament.

Just then, Kang Yuanhang and Yun Ruomin, who had just returned from near the base of the cannon, complained.

"It's hard to define whether she's crazy or not, after all, our captain isn't exactly normal either. But we think it's hard to classify her as human, since she has the most biological modifications, even if her combat power isn't great."

Just as the technical staff were complaining about their minister, the Death Star had already arrived near the two giants.

If we were to use physical objects as a metaphor, the Death Star would be like a glass bead, while the two giant super variants would be like two children fighting, only the battle between the two children would be extremely fierce.

The horns of the Cosmic Emperor were directly broken off by the Primordial Celestial. If the Primordial Celestial hadn't been without any large ornaments and his overall shell hadn't resembled that of the Turtle Prime Minister, it wouldn't have been his spherical armor that was flattened.

Looking at the two giant mechanical lifeforms, Yun Ruomin asked with some doubt, "Why don't we use the Star Killer Cannon to fire at them first? Isn't it a bit too frivolous to use an unproven super weapon?"

Kang Yuanhang was speechless at his colleague who was so focused on research and development.

"The Starkiller Cannon's attacks are affected by planetary gravity. If it's fired within the solar system and destroys a planet, you can expect Earth to be bombarded by a meteor shower."

Earth's position in the solar system is extremely special. In addition to being protected by the outer planets, even the Moon is a qualified bodyguard. Although Earth has only been hit by a meteorite once every few hundred million years, that was because it had five big brothers outside protecting it.

Not to mention the outer planets that get hit, Mars receives more than 300 meteorite impacts every year. Mars is being attacked almost every day. If a large planet were to disappear from the outer planets, Earth would have to get a species refresh card ahead of time.

As for why a black hole bomb is used, the reason is simple: as long as gravity is properly controlled, it will at most add a large canyon through Mars, which will not have a significant impact other than making mining easier.

"Stop discussing irrelevant things and come over here to help with the final data confirmation. We've already started targeting and launching."

Garen looked at his two relaxed companions with some dissatisfaction, wondering how they could be so carefree.

The Death Star, having left Mars' gravitational pull, was spotted by the Quintessons' fleet the instant it left the planet's protective shield.

This caused all the attacks originally aimed at Natal's fleet to be directed at the Death Star. Even the warships that were hiding behind the formation for repairs were all exposed, as if they were ready to crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, this kind of attack would not cause any trouble for the Death Star, even if the opponent's attack strength exceeded that of its own battleships.

Having finally completed her mission, Zhao Wanyang was rubbing her temples as she watched the two super variants engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"You're all space civilizations now, can't you use some energy blades or something? Even just spewing out some molten metal attacks from your mouths would be more befitting of your advanced civilization. Fighting you makes us look so lowly!"

Zhao Wanyang picked up the hot cocoa from the conveyor belt and took a careful sip; she desperately needed some sugar right now.

Just as she was about to check the historical messages, a photon torpedo from the Executor was pierced by the enemy's defensive beam, which penetrated the coating on the engine and veered off course to two super variant directions.

The photon torpedo narrowly missed the thick layer of metal debris surrounding the two hypermutants, and as it struck, a beam of light evaporated all the surrounding space debris.

However, the two super variants were not injured after the explosion, a result that almost made Zhao Wanyang choke. In a panic, she pressed the emergency message on the screen.

The small screen showed Zhang Xun making faces at the camera, though at this moment only Zhang Xun's head was visible, which looked somewhat frightening.

However, none of these things concerned Zhao Wanyang.

She threw away the hot cocoa in her hand and immediately pressed the emergency communicator to shout.

"Stop launching immediately! Stop launching the black hole immediately!"

This extremely high-level communication, originating from the research lab, took precedence over all other information and traveled directly to Galen's launch room.

Zhao Wanyang's panicked and shrill voice startled Garen, who was pressing the button, causing him to shudder and press the button down.

Fortunately, he twisted his finger, injuring himself in the process, and did not launch the black hole bomb.

Kang Yuanhang picked up the communicator and asked with some confusion, "Zhao Wanyang, what are you doing? The launch is about to take place, why are you doing this?"

"Damn it, the intelligence is wrong. The enemy has a large repulsive field, and the two super variants are using sunlight to restore their energy. The information is incorrect!"

This news brought secret relief to everyone present. If the first-generation black hole bomb had any drawbacks, it was that its yield was too small.

As it is the first generation, the internal filling material is not much 'electron degenerate matter'. The core material weighs more than 100 tons out of the more than 3,000-ton missile body, and the rest is energy and anti-gravity equipment.

Originally, this bomb was supposed to use the collapsing gravitational black hole to absorb surrounding matter and increase its power upon impact. However, because the target had an extremely strong repulsive force field (the photon torpedo explosion did not harm the target), this increase would not occur, which would greatly limit the power of the black hole bomb.

The cessation of the attack prompted an anxious Natal to make a communication call.

"Zhao Wanyang, what are you doing? Why aren't you attacking... Zhang Xun, are you awake?"

This sentence shifted everyone's attention from the black hole bomb to Zhang Xun, who only had a head and was blinking (he had no body).

Zhao Wanyang scratched her head; it seemed she had turned off the mental connection device when she left.

"Uh... stop blinking, Zhang Xun. The database doesn't have this language. Let me connect you to the neural network device and we'll talk. It's creepy."

As the mental connection probe was inserted, Zhang Xun's scream came through the loudspeaker.

"That fucking hurts! Why did Zhao Wanyang use a mental connection probe? You don't want to go back to your dangerous research lab, do you?!"

"Hey, stop framing people, okay? Back then, your nerves were already atrophied, what else could you use besides probes? A brain-in-a-vat?"

Since he had successfully connected to the Tianwen System, Zhang Xun didn't want to delve into the matter, but he would definitely make a note of Zhao Wanyang in his notebook.

"Let's not talk about that. I have a way to penetrate two super variants, but you'll have to install me on the launcher."

"Zhang Xun, stop messing around. What can you do with just one head?"

Natal didn't believe that statement at all.

"Trust me, the Remorse Antivirus is connected to my head. I'll take this opportunity to swindle some of her energy."

This statement delighted Zhao Wanyang, while Natal was extremely worried.

Because Natal knew that even if the energy of an advanced civilization was weakened, Zhang Xun's use of it would come at a cost.
