Chapter 245 Nuclear Mushroom

The damage to the lateral rings was equally severe. The outer rings, which covered the entire mega-ring, possessed a total of 360 super gamma laser ray cannons. Of these precious cosmic laser cannons, 17 were destroyed by stellar hydrogen bombs, a significant loss. In addition, numerous ports along the mega-ring were also nuked.

The side rings of the Great Ring were important industrial bases of the Devouring Empire. These industrial bases suffered huge losses. In addition, about 2000 of the Great Ring's material transport pipelines used for 'Devouring' were destroyed by bombs and rendered ineffective. There were about 10,000 such pipelines in the Great Ring, so the loss of 1/5 is considered a significant loss.

As for the 12th district of the inner ring, there is no need to say more. The first three districts had six dinosaur cities that were unfortunately located at the epicenter of the stellar hydrogen bomb and were directly nuked. The casualties of the dinosaur civilization in this war instantly jumped from the millions to the tens of millions.

At least 46 million noble dinosaurs died from the stellar hydrogen bomb. It should be noted that the total number of noble dinosaurs was only 200 million. It was this 200 million noble dinosaurs that suppressed and devoured nearly 30 billion lower-level dinosaurs within the giant ring.

When counting the casualties among the noble dinosaurs, the commander of the Great Ring pursed his lips slightly.

About half of the star-shaped hydrogen bombs were tilted outside the ring and on the side of the ring, and only a little over a hundred star-shaped hydrogen bombs actually hit the inner ring area.

However, about six stellar hydrogen bombs still hit the sixth district. Although they did not hit the dinosaur slum city in the sixth district, they did hit the vicinity of the Light Speaker civilization's breeding area. The nuclear explosion of this magnitude, combined with the burst of a large number of high-energy particle rays, made the Light Speaker civilization seem to have returned to its home planet.

The Puji that emerges from the supernova ruins are not afraid of nuclear bombs!
Taking advantage of the intense particle radiation following the explosion of the six stellar hydrogen bombs, the Light Speaker civilization immediately absorbed a large amount of high-energy radiation and evolved thousands of small nuclear bomb mushrooms.

These nuclear-powered mushrooms, radiating a deep purple light, immediately became the core armed force of the Light Speaker Civilization and the White Fish Clan alliance upon their creation.

Some of the second-class carnivorous dinosaur armies from District 6 attempted to raid the Light Speaker civilization's base, but suffered heavy losses when they were bombed by White Fish carrying Nuclear Mushrooms. The third-party aquaculture civilization, Balloon Fish, also declared its defection and joined the Light Speaker civilization's resistance front, becoming the air force of the resistance.

The balloon fish, the light talker, and the white dwarf starfish formed a three-dimensional integrated system encompassing the sky, the ground, and the underground, repelling multiple attacks from the regular army of secondary carnivorous dinosaurs.

The militia composed of herbivorous dragons, using the nuclear mushroom as a pretext and taking advantage of the situation, suspended their attacks on the Light Speaker Civilization, the White Fish Clan, and the Balloon Fish Civilization, and began negotiations with the Light Speaker Civilization.

As for the herbivorous dragons' negotiation, it was naturally tacitly approved by the Great Ring Commander. He had this idea when he first sent the herbivorous dragon army to suppress the Puji rebellion. Since he came to power, he has been consciously suppressing the armed forces of the carnivorous dragons.

In its conception, if the Devouring Civilization does not change its habit of 'devouring', then this civilization will never have a chance to rise. As for those dinosaurs that have the violent behavior of devouring, they are naturally not docile herbivorous dinosaurs.

Facing Shan Qing's spirit, the Great Ring Commander asked, "Super hydrogen bomb, is this humanity's confidence?"

Shan Qing nodded: "It's only part of the source of our confidence."

The commander of the Great Ring asked again, "How many of these super hydrogen bombs does humanity have?"

Shan Qing said, "Is this how you spy on civilizations? But I can still tell you that humanity has 50,000 stellar-type hydrogen bombs like these." (The actual number is 500,000)

The commander of the Great Ring shook his head: "Unfortunately, 50,000 stellar hydrogen bombs are not enough to cause a devastating blow to the Great Ring. At most, they can only wash away the surface layer of the Great Ring. Let me tell you, the center of the Great Ring is hollow. That's where the Devouring Civilization stores its dinosaur eggs. As long as the overall structure of the Great Ring is not destroyed, the Devouring Civilization will not be completely wiped out. The pressure exerted by human civilization is still not enough for me to persuade the Devouring Civilization to stop its plundering of the planets in the solar system." Shan Qing was astonished by the other party's frankness; he even revealed the location of the dinosaur eggs. This truly was the 'root' of the Devouring Empire.

From Tyrannosaurus Karl, Shanqing also learned a piece of information:
The inertia of devouring civilizations made it impossible for this civilization to stop its devouring pace. Even if Tyrannosaurus Rex Karl wanted to, it couldn't suppress the dinosaurs below it. Devouring was already engraved in the genes of the dinosaur civilization.

Tyrannosaurus Karl is almost making it clear that he needs greater pressure from human civilization, whether it's to push the Devouring Civilization to reform or to make the Devouring Giant Ring stop its devouring.

Unfortunately, current human civilization does not seem to be able to generate such great pressure, and a fundamental problem remains unsolved.

If they didn't eat them, who would feed so many dinosaurs?

During the exchange between Tyrannosaurus Karl and Shanqing, the first phase of the stellar hydrogen bomb strike came to an end.

The seemingly indestructible Anvil Plains finally developed minute cracks under repeated nuclear bombings. The bombardment of nearly five hundred stellar hydrogen bombs caused the giant ring with a circumference of 20 kilometers to exhibit minute oscillations that could be seen with the naked eye in space.

Ten seconds after the first phase of the stellar hydrogen bomb strike ended, the Devouring Empire's giant ring engine briefly shut down before immediately restarting at full power.

The 29,954 giant ring engines, having consumed the remaining fuel of the swallowing giant ring, carried out heavy nuclear fusion at maximum efficiency, propelling the giant ring back towards the solar system.

Shanqing was shocked: "You...didn't gain control of the Great Ring?"

The commander of the Great Ring looked reluctant: "After the Devouring Emperor dies... the hungry Great Ring will automatically fly towards the nearest star system to feed itself. This stage cannot be interrupted or stopped. Only after the Great Ring has absorbed more than 70% of its resource reserves can I try to regain control of the Great Ring."

Shanqing asked urgently, "What are Dahuan's current resource reserves?"

The commander of the Great Ring gave the answer: "There is 12.45% left. After this acceleration is completed and then braking, there will be 7.8% left. The Great Ring will reserve 5% of the energy for the feeding operation."

He stared into Shanqing's eyes and said in a low voice, "Shanqing, you broke the standoff between the Great Ring and humanity with your own hands. Before you killed His Majesty the Emperor, you probably didn't think that His Majesty the Emperor did have the idea of ​​negotiating with humanity. After all, the Great Ring wasn't entirely confident that it could easily destroy humanity's fleet. The Devouring Empire is only good at fighting weaker civilizations, not at fighting civilizations of equal strength. This is due to the Devouring Empire's inherent weakness and cowardice. As long as humanity is tough enough, the Devouring Empire will naturally find an excuse to negotiate. At that time, as long as they don't devour Earth, humanity will most likely not fight the Devouring Empire to the death. Both civilizations can take the opportunity to back down."

"Dude, you actually know Das Kapital?"

The commander of the Great Ring asked in confusion, "What is Capital? The idea of ​​devouring civilizations was proposed by a wise dragon long ago, and his name is Macron."
