Chapter 2959 Big fish eats small fish

Chapter 2959 Big fish eats small fish

And so the war began.

No one expected that it would start because of a misunderstanding.

In an instant, the number of fugitives rose rapidly.

At the same time, the number of resistance fighters also began to rise rapidly.

Some people have figured it out.

"No matter how far we escape, we will still be hunted as food."

"If that's the case, why don't we fight with all our might?"

"They're not gods, they only have ordinary spaceships!"

"Yes, they were just lucky to have discovered the wormhole ahead of time."

With this in mind, everyone began to think of ways to train themselves, improve themselves, research weapons, and study resistance strategies.

Therefore, virtual space has become the best training platform.

Of course, their main focus is on how to manufacture armed robots and how to build better offensive AI weapons.

Various conceptual weapons projects have been put forward.

This time, they spared no expense and no time.

It can be said that the immortals who were unwilling to flee were united as never before.

In short, they began developing all sorts of new weapons.

These weapons are all-encompassing, many of which were previously considered impossible to develop.

For example, hypersonic missiles.

With a speed of Mach ≥ 60, maneuvering and changing course at the edge of the atmosphere, the reaction window left for the air defense system is less than 3 seconds.

For example, the space-based laser platform, codenamed "Airborne Sentinel," has a power of 3 megawatts.

It can burn through a satellite from 500 million km away.

With a ship-borne 60 billion kW laser, it can easily shoot down incoming drones in space.

The cost per unit is less than $1.

Because fusion energy is cheap.

There is also the famous Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG), a 32 trillion joule prototype that has been test-fired more than 1000 times.

The projectile has an initial velocity of Mach 70 and a range of 180 million km.

Without the need for gunpowder, relying solely on the Lorentz force, a 10 kg tungsten rod can be instantly accelerated to 25 km/s in space.

It wouldn't work on Earth; atmospheric friction would instantly melt it.

For example, the microwave "swarm" killer is the ultra-high power microwave array.

A single 0.1-second irradiation can disable the circuitry of drones within a 100 million-kilometer radius.

For example, quantum radar and quantum communication.

Using entangled photons for ranging, it is theoretically possible to detect stealth space fighters.

Some teams have already achieved quantum imaging experiments at the 100 million kilometer level, with an exponential increase in anti-interference capabilities.

There is also a "nano stealth coating" technology, which is only 10μm thick and contains variable refractive index nanofibers that can match the background temperature and color in real time.

In space combat, it can effectively conceal itself and deal with the enemy.

There's also AI-controlled swarms of 10 billion micro-drones, all making decisions from a single onboard AI.

It can complete target allocation within 3 seconds, achieving a closed loop of "saturation-evasion-re-attack".

It has recently been validated in actual combat exercises.

Judging from the scale alone, one can tell that the technology of the immortals is advanced, but it is still within the scope of ordinary people's understanding, and is not one of those conceptual weapons.

They are all normal energy and kinetic energy weapons.

For combat robots, an enhanced version called "biologically enhanced exoskeleton" has been developed.

The space-grade titanium alloy skeleton combined with AI muscle fibers can bear a load of over 20,000 kg and walk 100,000 km in space, with an electromyographic interface response delay of < 5 ms.

……

Similar futuristic technological weapons are emerging one after another, dazzling people.

This greatly increased everyone's confidence in resisting the virus.

Of course, in Wenren Sheng's view, it was just that.

There are many types, but their actual combat capability is not strong.

However, this is also because he has seen too much and his standards are too high.

In fact, these weapons are already far too powerful for natural carbon-based life forms.

It can be said that once it is put into use, it can easily wipe out the population of an entire planet.

……

The enemy's brutality greatly increased the immortals' fighting spirit.

Actually, they've lived for so long that they never really wanted to fight.

Fighting means risk and death.

But the other party wanted to eat them.

Even if you try to escape, the other party will chase you.

Therefore, it would be better to stay and fight.

A fleeing rabbit will be killed, but a rebellious tiger is rarely killed.

The enemy's ferocity increased everyone's desire to fight.

Almost no one was willing to surrender anymore.

They had no choice but to flee or resist.

Those who stayed behind thought that venturing into space would be even more unsafe.

Rather than being hunted in the empty universe, it's better to stay and fight for it.

Of course, if they really can't win, they can only choose to surrender, hoping that the other side will treat them like hens instead of boars.

This is their ideal plan.

In this way, time passed day by day.

There is also an increasing amount of news about aliens.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Alien spaceships seem to be getting closer and closer to Earth.

They launched increasing amounts of AI data, directly targeting those left behind on Earth to launch attacks.

This AI data naturally requires the cooperation of administrators.

Some administrators still believe that the aliens kept their promises.

After all, even though it's food, sheepdogs still need it.

A leader is also needed.

They are willing to sell their conscience.

All I can say is that immortality is one thing, but immortality cannot change a person's character.

In short, their goal is to completely control the people of Earth.

However, they clearly underestimated the resistance and intelligence of these immortals.

Finally, some truly remarkable individuals emerged.

They were originally indifferent saints.

Similar to being carefree and unconcerned with worldly affairs.

But no matter how indifferent they are, they cannot tolerate being eaten by the other party.

They are not true Buddhas or true saints.

They would give themselves to feed wild beasts.

And so, they chose to rebel.

And it was the most intense resistance.

They joined the research.

Many new types of weapons have been developed.

These weapons were only concepts in the past, but no one was willing or interested in developing them.

After all, this is a huge obstacle to longevity.

And those clever people made their move.

In just a few decades, they finally figured it out.

Various antimatter weapons, fusion weapons, space torpedoes, and so on—weapons that only existed in imagination were all researched and developed by them.

And these weapons are indeed very effective.

The main purpose was to convince the rebels that these weapons could be used to protect them.

Wen Rensheng felt they were putting their minds at ease too soon.

Then, the group deployed the weapons across the various planets.

Wenren Sheng initially thought this would be a classic arrogant scene from The Three-Body Problem.

In other words, they thought their weapons were very powerful, but they ended up being wiped out by the other side.

However, astronomers observed different phenomena.

When the rebels deployed space weapons between different planets, the alien spaceships actually retreated!

Yes, their spaceship is indeed accelerating its escape.

"What? The aliens were scared away?"

Everyone was immediately taken aback. In fact, they themselves believed that these weapons could not possibly defeat aliens.

After all, the time is too short.

However, faced with the facts, they found it incredible.

"This must be fake, right?"

"Any further news?"

However, the truth is that the aliens were indeed scared away.

One year, two years, and more and more evidence was observed.

Many weapons have even appeared in the wormhole.

This is clearly because the aliens are worried that the Earthlings will retaliate.

This is a space fortress set up in advance.

Many people who read this far were surprised to find that things had taken such a dramatic turn.

"That's great! The aliens are so powerful, yet they managed to escape?"

"This is incredible!"

"That's right."

"It's really strange to think about it; how could the enemy have escaped so easily?"

"It's unbelievable! There must be something wrong here!"

There are still many smart people.

In short, they didn't believe that aliens could be defeated so easily.

However, mounting evidence suggests that this is indeed the case.

……

this day.

More compelling evidence has emerged that aliens have escaped.

However, the protesters were not happy upon seeing this evidence.

The lights on the tops of the city towers went out, and the giant screens in the squares and the radio stations seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand.

Then, a visible silver-white arc appeared from space and swept across the Earth.

Then, it showed a scene of an alien spaceship escaping.

An alien mothership appeared in the solar system.

It disappeared very quickly.

It left a lightning-like afterimage on everyone's retinas, then shattered into countless shards of light with a "pop," like frost and mist swept away by the wind.

There was no explosion, no communication, and no explanation.

Only one segment of footage, captured simultaneously by all satellites, remains:

The hatch on the hull of the mothership was abruptly closed.

One of the plasma shields was torn apart like a rag.

Thousands of escape pods emerged from the alien spaceship.

Then, like a swarm of bees scattering, they simultaneously transformed into a dark blue light and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

On Earth, when you look at the sky and the ground, you are first met with a deathly silence.

Then, a baby's cry pierced the night sky, like a spark igniting a fuse.

Cheers erupted like a tsunami from the streets, from underground bunkers, and from the decks of destroyers on the ocean.

In a square, people throw their hats into the air.

They were cheering.

On a beach, a crowd spontaneously formed a giant "Victory" sign.

In a certain barbarian tribe, the children banged empty cans, which had been donated as supplies, into drumbeats, while the women sang ancient victory songs in their tribal language.

Astronauts on the International Space Station point their cameras at Earth.

In the background, on the blue planet, countless city lights illuminate the sky—it's the first time humanity has lit up its lights so as not to "escape."

On social media, a real-time satellite image is being widely shared:

The alien mothership's contrail left an arc-shaped crack in space, with the end of the crack pointing directly towards Orion.

After releasing a large number of escape pods, it flew towards Orion on its own.

Of course, this is something that can't be avoided.

It's just acting as bait.

And the other party clearly has some affinity for Earthlings.

They used the trajectory to form a sentence:

"They're here, we have to go."

In an instant, all radio stations around the world resumed broadcasting.

There was no press release, no official statement, just a three-second silence.

Then a victory song began to play.

In the song, people noticed for the first time:

The night breeze carried a salty warmth; it turned out it wasn't the smoke of gunfire.

The light of the stars, it turns out, does not need any air raid shelter lights to block it.

Amid the cheers, someone whispered:

What did they mean?

Will they come back? And if they do come back, what does that mean?

Another person answered:

"Even if we come back, we will have already learned how to resist."

"As for them, they should be another enemy."

This is the fact.

In Wenren Sheng's eyes, a new enemy is emerging.

It is far more powerful than any alien species before it.

It should be said that the existence of wormholes is definitely not a good thing.

Before the cheers had even faded, a blue light appeared in the Arctic sky.

It's like being dripped with ink, gradually turning into a deep purple.

The color wasn't the aurora, but rather some kind of entity folding space.

This is a spatial folding technique.

This technology is neither mastered by humans nor by extraterrestrials.

It's as if someone used the entire sky as a curtain and tore a slit in it from the back.

One "foot" stepped out.

It is not an animal's limb, but a piece of illusory foot formed from nebula dust.

It has a diameter of thirty kilometers, and its surface is covered with undecipherable symbols.

Each flash corresponds to a frequency hop in global radio frequencies.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third... a total of seven "feet" stepped down at the same time.

There was no sound at all—sound waves were directly blocked around them.

The Earth's atmosphere is like being stretched open by seven giant pillars, forming an inverted funnel with the bottom of the funnel facing the North Pole.

Satellite images show a cluster of escape pods, remnants of extraterrestrial life, scattered throughout the solar system.

However, in the next frame...

These escape pods were captured by the Seven Hands.

It turned out to be a terrifying giant.

It stands on Earth and reaches out into the solar system!

Those escape pods vanished completely in an instant, as if erased by an eraser.

The result was nothing but an unnaturally clean darkness.

No one witnessed the attack; only the empty starry sky remained.

Then, the seven "legs" retracted. The crack in the sky closed.

But that's not the end, it's the beginning.

Then, the real demons descended.

It has no physical form, or rather, its physical form cannot be perceived by three-dimensional senses.

People can only see one special "phenomenon":

• All the mirrors simultaneously reflect the same face—without features, only a horizontal crack through which the light of the Milky Way flows.

The global sea level dropped by 2 centimeters in an instant, like a tear being ripped away.

A straight groove appeared on the surface of the moon, the length of which was exactly equal to the diameter of the Earth.

The scariest thing is that it "saw" humans.

On every electronic screen, on every surface of water, in every pupil, the crack slowly opened, emitting a sound that was not a sound:

You are all my food.

There was no negotiation, no countdown.

The devil doesn't need to explain the rules, because he is the rule himself.

The Arctic ice cap is melting at a visible rate, but not because of warming; rather, it is being “folded”—like a piece of paper being folded in half.

Humanity then realized:

The aliens weren't "scared away" by Earthlings; rather, they discovered demons, and they too were being "preyed upon."

And now, it's Earth's turn.
