Chapter 231 The Great Environmental Protection War

Three hours later, at the strong request of Dongfang Xuyan, the 12 star-class warships held another emergency meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Beihai attended as the deputy captain of the Natural Selection.

Dongfang Yanxu witnessed the rationality, ruthlessness, and highly inflammatory nature of this ancient soldier's debate.

For Zhang Beihai, the new generation is indeed like children in some ways—simple, blank slates, and he can easily act like a teacher and inspire them.

After the meeting, half of the 12 star-class warships defected to Zhang Beihai and, with an absolute vote of 9 to 3, confirmed the order for the advance fleet to enter forward four-state mode.

The advance fleet will consume one-quarter of the fuel on the warships to increase its speed to 10% of the speed of light in a short period of time, shorten its journey, and quickly reach the vicinity of the giant ring to participate in the surprise attack.

The three starships, Natural Selection, Lexington, and Foghorn, each composed a message and sent it to General Qian Mengjian at the rear.

Although these three messages differ in language and content, they all fully demonstrate the necessity for the advance fleet to accelerate its journey toward the giant ring.

For example, there's speculation that Shan Qing is still alive and fighting alone within the giant ring, desperately needing support. Or it could be that the Devouring Fleet is in disarray without a fight, seizing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage in combat.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the main force of the expeditionary fleet also received abnormal quantum wave fluctuations in the direction of the giant ring, and macro fusion is still being generated.

By the time the message was received, the Paradox Engine had received quantum fluctuations generated by 67 rounds of macro-fusion.

Subsequently, the observation system of the Paradox Engine showed that the 12 star-class warships ahead had entered [Advance 4] mode, and the advance fleet entered a long-term acceleration at the cost of rapidly consuming nuclear fusion fuel.

"General Qian, they prematurely revealed the secret that the human fleet can perform high-speed cruise. Should we hold these 12 star-class warships accountable?" an adjutant asked.

“There’s no need. War isn’t dead, especially interstellar war,” Qian Mengjian said. “Making the right decision to seize fleeting opportunities is the right thing to do. What’s the point of hiding that little bit of speed redundancy? The most important thing is to be able to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy. Pass on my order to put the remaining 488 star-class warships into [Advance 4] standby mode.”

"General, the stellar-class warships will leave all the planetary-class warships behind, which goes against the original purpose of our expedition! Planetary-class warships are a crucial force in this expedition," said a chief of staff.

"Do not question my orders, do as I say."

"Yes!"

...

Giant Ring Command Center (Temporary)

"Abnormal energy reading! From the direction of the Imperial capital, the intensity... is surging exponentially! Type... cannot be analyzed!"

At the technical analysis desk, the dinosaur scientist's voice was filled with uncontrollable terror; the light screen on the giant ring weapon control console in the command center was frantically refreshing garbled data and waveforms.
One glaring warning box after another popped up, and in the core parameter bar, a number representing the energy intensity was scrolling upwards at a speed that made the dragon's eyes widen.

Inside the command center, chaotic Devouring Language was howling.

"Another macro-fusion has occurred! This time, the macro-fusion is targeting chip-type devices. Electronic weapon systems near the capital have all failed. Just how many macro atoms does this damned pseudo-god worm carry?"

"The heavily armed Imperial Guard Dragon Regiment has been completely routed! At least hundreds of ball lightning bolts are rampaging through our armored forces! The electromagnetic deflectors carried by the troops are completely ineffective; those ball lightning bolts are being manipulated by the False God Worm! Its manipulation power far exceeds the power of our electromagnetic deflectors!" "The closest spaceships to the Giant Ring have arrived—two Brachiosaurus-class motherships. The Brachiosaurus-class motherships have released over 100 interceptors, which have already entered the Giant Ring's atmosphere and are heading towards that False God Worm."

"My God! Hundreds of white fish shot into the sky and smashed our interceptor!"

"As for reinforcements from other districts, let the third-class and fourth-class dinosaur armies hold the line first!"

"Something terrible has happened! A riot has broken out in the alien civilization's breeding area in District Six. Those glowing mushrooms have rushed out. They have somehow evolved mushroom cannons and formed a glowing puffy mushroom cannon army, which is attacking the local dinosaur garrison."

"Dispatch the Wyvern Legion to eliminate these individual Light Speakers of Civilization. Don't worry about accidentally harming these rare mushroom species. Maintaining stability is the most important thing at this stage!"

"What do you mean by 'a super powerful black mushroom appeared inside the glowing puffy'?"

"Forget about those mushrooms. They won't get out of Sector 6. Let the dinosaur army at the front take cover. The Great Ring's defensive gamma laser beam is fully charged. Target the False God Worm. Even if the gamma laser beam can't completely kill it, it will buy the Empire enough time!"

"Avenge His Majesty the Emperor! Avenge the Imperial Ministers! More space warships have arrived in the inner ring region, the 'Tyrant' class battleship has locked onto that pseudo-god worm in space, and tactical nuclear missiles are ready."

"But wouldn't a nuclear explosion have some impact on the structure of the large ring?"

"Don't worry about these effects. The Great Ring is far more robust than we imagine. If we need to use nuclear weapons, then we should. As long as we can hold out until the Great Ring's gravitational field draws the four-dimensional fragment there, and we can use the four-dimensional spatial structure to kill it completely, it will all be worth it!"

"The Empire's 'Godzilla' Mountain Dragon Force is ready. These super dinosaurs, hundreds of meters tall and weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, are about to head to the battlefield. The 'Godzilla' Mountain Dragon Force is so massive that the White Fish rampage cannot kill the Mountain Dragons because the White Fish are too small. Let these Mountain Dragons go and stop the False God Worm!"

"Keep going. The neutrino communication system has already sent a message toward the location of the Empire's god. The pseudo-god worm has limited destructive power. The macro-atoms and macro-electrons in his hands cannot be infinite. With just that white sword, he can't threaten the vast Empire in any way."

Since the Devouring Empire never successfully developed quantum computer technology, it lacked a super artificial intelligence like MOSS to assist in combat. The Great Ring's self-defense system was based on ordinary AI from electronic computers, and it still mainly required dinosaurs to control it.

Therefore, in this battle, the dinosaurs were unable to fully utilize the power of the Great Ring, the dinosaur army, and the Devouring Fleet, and the battle continued in a chaotic environment.

But suddenly, the nuclear fusion sun that had been illuminating the entire giant ring flickered, and its original blood-red color disappeared, replaced by a 'moon' emitting a cool blue light.

"The solar system has malfunctioned! The War Sun state has disappeared, and the Giant Ring has entered the Moon state!" a dinosaur shouted from the front lines of the battlefield.

“That’s good. Cultivators should fight under the moonlight.”

Shan Qing's voice suddenly spread throughout the giant ring atmosphere, and even space warships could see the layers of sound waves rippling through the atmosphere.

Under the watchful eyes of all the spaceship pilots, a tiny point, yet radiating a blinding white light, was rapidly marked and magnified on the edge of the structural diagram representing the giant ring itself.

“Let’s go together, I’m in a hurry,” Shanqing said again.
