A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*********************

......

This is really amazing.

The generals, both high and low, began to applaud in the conference room.

Even General Zhao Chongshan, who had always been least interested in Zerg technology, could see the merits of this device.

I, Lao Zhao, am being narrow-minded. The Zerg really share their good stuff with humans.

General Zhao involuntarily sat up straighter and asked the most important question: "Minister Hawke, can this planetary barrier be used to defend against attacks from lower-level insectoids?"

"Low-level Zerg—"

Minister Hawke's impassioned speech suddenly stopped, and he awkwardly fell silent.

Humans are really so ignorant.

I told them about the planetary barrier, but they only wanted the inferior Zerg.

Oh well, it's alright, it's alright, don't be surprised.

Earth's humans are a first-class civilization, so they're really ignorant.

Can understand.

Minister Hawke perked up again: "Ha, what's so great about lowly Zerg? Once you develop, you'll see that attacks from lowly Zerg are nothing to fear! I'll give you a one-step solution and simulate an attack from our advanced Zerg! Of course, only starships, that is, an attack at the level of civilization and technology."

The higher Zerg can simply tear through the shield; the shield can't stop them.

However, looking across the local universe, only the Lyrnia family possesses this capability. Lyrnia will not attack Earth, so their focus is simply on defending against attacks from advanced civilizations with superior technology.

Minister Hawke activated the third mode: Civilization Attack Mode.

[Outside attack mode, round three.]

No, he actually gave a real example! Even Old Zhao was stunned by his audacity in using himself as an example when testing a planet's defenses.

Regardless of the final outcome for humanity and the Zerg, Old Zhao respected Minister Hawke as an upright and honorable man.

"Look closely, this is our standard starship from Lyrnia."

Minister Hawke pulled out a massive starship from the simulated projection: "It's not the most heavily armed, but it's sufficient. It's roughly the top-tier starship currently available to space pirates."

On a real star destroyer, phase cannons and electromagnetic cannons are child's play, just child's play for small spaceships.

The true main gun of a star-destroying warship—

The Star Destroyer Cannon, also known as the Annihilation Cannon or Black Hole Bomb, fires a stream of super-energy particles that undergo an annihilation reaction upon impact with the target. It uses a miniature black hole as its core and leverages the black hole's powerful gravitational collapse effect to compress matter into nothingness in an instant. It can instantly vaporize asteroids with a diameter of 500 kilometers and can cause a complete disintegration of enemy targets.

The secondary weapon, the gravity cannon, manipulates gravitons to create high-intensity gravitational tides that act on enemy targets, distorting their internal spatial structure and tearing them apart using the Roche limit, affecting a radius of 10 kilometers.

now--

Which is more powerful: the main cannon of Zerg technology or the barrier that breaks through Zerg technology?

Question marks flashed on the simulated projection, and General Zhao Chongshan looked bewildered.

Why does this sound so familiar?

I feel like I've heard this question before.

...Isn't this the story behind the idiom "planting flowers in ancient times"?

I have a spear that can penetrate anything, and a shield that can block anything. So what will happen if you use your spear to pierce your shield?

I don't know the conclusion of the self-contradictory idiom story.

The Zerg minister, Hawk, told them, "Don't worry about it. I'll just simulate it. Just open fire, and we'll see who's stronger after the battle!"

—So you Zerg are all war leaders who get excited the moment you see fire, huh?!

The starship's energy system began to operate wildly, and a tremendous roar echoed throughout the starship.

Light suddenly focused at the main cannon, and a terrifying beam of energy shot out, tearing through the dark space of space and hurtling towards the Earth below.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the surrounding space was distorted and deformed.

The Earth below floats silently, like a beautiful blue gemstone.

Upon detecting an incoming space attack, the planetary barrier suddenly unfolds, enveloping Earth!

The moment the main cannon's beam made contact with the planetary barrier, the entire universe seemed to freeze.

A massive energy surge erupted on the barrier, generating intense shockwaves and a visible distortion of the vacuum.

The translucent barrier surface was pressed inward, like a rubber balloon that had been pressed down.

But it held up; it didn't break!

The beam of energy violently assaulted the barrier, attempting to break through its protective layer.

The energy on the barrier began to flicker, constantly adjusting and shifting its distribution, directing all the energy towards the attacked area, stubbornly resisting this powerful impact.

In the collision of energies, dazzling sparks intertwine, forming a magnificent and breathtaking scene.

The collision of opposing ion streams prevented the formation of black holes.

Eventually, the main cannon's energy began to decay and disappear. Although the planetary barrier fluctuated on the surface, it still firmly protected the planet.

Without Hawke needing to say anything more, the generals and commanders of the Earth Military Command all stood up, stepped forward to applaud and shake hands with Hawke:

"Thank you so much, brothers Lyrnia, for your support of our Earth Military Command! We are truly grateful!"

"I truly appreciate your sincerity, it wasn't just a perfunctory response. Thank you, brothers of Liernia!"

"Our gratitude is beyond words. If the Liernian military ever needs anything from the human military in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. The human military will repay your kindness in the end!"

Minister Hawke had never shaken hands with so many male insects in his life, shaking hands with them one by one:

"You're welcome, you're welcome..."

"Where, where, where..."

"It was all ordered by our Crown Prince, and it's all thanks to our Crown Princess. We're all family! There's no need to be so polite..."

Even General Zhao Chongshan came to shake hands with him: "Minister Hawke, I was not very nice to your Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liernia, Minister Greta. Please give him my apologies. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you brothers before. You have really helped me."

Minister Hawke shook hands with him: "Oh, no need, no need. Our Liernia tyrant has such a bad reputation. White Pearl has suffered countless disdainful treatments in his diplomatic dealings. This is nothing. We're all family, all family..."

"We're all family, so I won't stand on ceremony." General Zhao shook Minister Hawke's hand and sincerely asked, "When will the Steel Star Ring be built? What preparations are needed? Is there any hope of completion next year?"

Minister Hawke sincerely shook his hand: "The materials aren't anything special, just high-hardness alloys, resources that Earth has. The technology is readily available too. We brought chip sets and energy blocks from Liernia. If the production capacity of the human steel smelting industry can keep up, let alone next year, we can assemble it tomorrow."

"Wait, an energy block?" General Zhao discovered a new point of interest.

Minister Hawke stated very frankly, "Yes, with such a large barrier, planetary matter and natural energy are definitely not enough; the planetary barrier must rely on stellar energy to operate."

"What does 'Star Energy' refer to?"

"A constant planet. In your human world, it's probably called a Dyson sphere."
