Chapter 947: Section 939 - Release Annihilation
The technical core of the elemental annihilation weapon lies in the coordinated energy reaction of crystalline blocks, magical beast crystal cores, and other key components, similar to a nuclear chain reaction, like dominoes, following a specific annihilation expansion formula, ultimately releasing destructive annihilation power. The impact and destruction radius are not as great as nuclear weapons, but the destructive capability within the strike radius can approach 100%, annihilating all things.
Targets that are difficult for nuclear weapons to destroy in one blow can often be easily dealt with by the elemental annihilation weapon, disregarding most defenses, especially physical ones, and annihilating them directly.
The "Dragon Slayer Missile" combat units, deployed across various aircrew bases, use the primary tactical elemental annihilation bomb, composed of a Third Rank human-order magical beast crystal core and a G-77 level crystalline block, with an annihilation radius of 500 meters. Although the coverage area is not large, if a giant dragon is hit directly, even if it doesn't die on the spot, it will only be left with a breath, so the nickname "Dragon Slayer Missile" is well-deserved.
Among the "spatial brands" of Chen Fei, most of the elemental annihilation bomb stockpiles are at the "primary tactical" level.
The more advanced intermediate and advanced tactical bombs are generally controlled by sovereigns, and strategic-level bombs are without stock because of their excessive power. After all, as long as the strike is precise, the attack effect of any level is the same.
Even the biological space motherships of the parasitic species, being massive monsters several kilometers long, would be in a bad situation if a hole over 1 kilometer in diameter were drilled into them.
The elemental annihilation weapon R&D team, who brought their families to the giant battleship, extracted the technical data for the strategic-level elemental annihilation bomb from the encrypted and sealed "forbidden document" and completed the assembly of some core components in the shortest possible time.
The tactical-level elemental annihilation bombs mainly use human-order magical beast crystal cores, matched with crystalline blocks ranging from A-level to N-level, while the strategic level does not have basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, instead dividing power levels from Earth Rank First Stage to Earth Rank Sixth Stage.
The annihilation radius of the Earth Rank First Stage directly exceeds 10 kilometers, and if it erupts on the planet's surface, the consequences are almost catastrophic; precisely because of this, the strategic-level elemental annihilation bomb technical data is sealed, with no physical products, as having one would be courting disaster. The Blue Star Civilization has only Blue Star as its life-sustaining planet, unable to withstand such turmoil.
S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown brought back a strategic-level core adopting a Fire System magical beast crystal core of Earth Rank First Stage and an AA-1 level Super Star Crystal, theoretically reaching an annihilation radius of 18 kilometers.
The magical beast crystal core used in the elemental annihilation bomb core is not restricted by the elemental series; Fire and Water work, Light is possible, even Space and Metallic can be used, as long as they meet the rank requirements, offering a broad selection. The matching crystal energy storage core can be a crystalline block or a higher energy density Super Star Crystal, as long as it can release all crystal energy at once and participate in the energy reaction of the annihilation expansion formula.
The energy levels of crystalline blocks range from A-level to Z-level, with A-level having the lowest energy density and Z-level the highest, divided from 0-99 per level. A-G levels are called civilian, H-N are for industrial and high-end commercial use, O-T are military, and U-Z are exclusive to the aerospatial industry.
Above Z-level, the specifications enter the new generation of crystal energy storage material, Super Star Crystal, named from AA-level, AB-level, AC-level... to AZ-level, with similar 0-99 divisions. This naming rule leaves room for future expansion, possibly evolving beyond crystal energy if civilization keeps progressing.
Hence, the elemental annihilation weapon can be called the miraculous creation of Louis Landon's previous life in Blue Star Civilization, while also being the last light of civilization as that Blue Star Civilization came to a dead end. Unfortunately, it emerged too late, with no return journey possible.
An hour later, the strategic-level elemental annihilation bomb finally took shape in Chen Fei's hands, costing them 12 energy points for simulating part of the key non-metal materials.
In the "Physical Evolution Database" of the Dog System, an entry "Strategic-Level Earth Rank First Stage Elemental Annihilation Bomb Core (Incomplete)" appeared. The missing parts included not only the magical beast crystal core and crystalline blocks (Super Star Crystal) but also part of the magic array and electronic components. It is a highly complex precision weapon requiring many completions.
Chen Fei withdrew his hand from the waist-high strategic-level elemental annihilation bomb, with some work still needing completion by Artificial Intelligence AI.
The bomb body weighed 115 kilograms, measuring 1.1 meters in height and 0.8 meters in diameter, remaining in a wired connection state.
Adam: Strategic-Level Earth Rank First Stage Elemental Annihilation Bomb firmware input complete, detonation key implantation complete.
The software-driven part was installed and set up almost instantaneously.
A rocket propulsion engine was then attached to the bomb body, giving it a small tail on its big head, appearing much like a hand grenade.
In space, aerodynamics does not matter, so the details are unimportant as long as it works; the original effective range of 30 kilometers in zero gravity can be amplified to over 1000 kilometers (as exemplified by the M1911 pistol, with a bullet initial velocity of 253 m/s in the atmosphere, increasing to 1600 m/s in near-Earth orbit; a bullet fired by an American astronaut could truly deliver a rear self-inflicted fatal shot if not drawn into the atmosphere by Earth's gravity after orbiting).
"'Adam', final safety unlock complete for Strategic-Level Earth Rank First Stage Elemental Annihilation Bomb."
Chen Fei then nodded to the S-Class Superpower User.
"Mr. Brown, your help is needed now to move this elemental annihilation bomb to this position. Follow my countdown, three, two..."
In the three-dimensional holographic projection, Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" calculated the optimal drop point.
Even with the protection of a large-scale light-based magic array, launching a strategic-level elemental annihilation bomb might not surpass twenty starlight columns' focused fire, where any one can instantly vaporize the powerful elemental annihilation bomb.
Additionally, their side's light attack spell, "Flashing Spirit Barrage," releasing countless light arrows, could also blow up this elemental annihilation bomb.
Before releasing its annihilation power, the elemental annihilation bomb is no different from a solid iron block, akin to a real metal block in a nuclear weapon. Without a chain reaction, at most, it leaves a large pit upon impact.
"One, deploy!"
Chen Fei timed the deployment precisely in the intermission of the "Flashing Spirit Barrage" upon full launch, leaving space for the launch point.
"Go!"
The S-Class Superpower User immediately activated their ability, causing the strategic-level Earth Rank First Stage elemental annihilation bomb between the two to disappear, reappearing in the specified location in the next second.
There was, after all, an error.
Humans are not machines, lacking precision; deviation by tens of kilometers in space with no references is not surprising, something even foreseen by Chen Fei, who anticipated being off by over a hundred kilometers, thus making the actual outcome fairly optimistic.
The rocket propulsion engine fitted onto the elemental annihilation bomb was meant to correct deployment errors, igniting instantly to propel the combat unit toward the detonation point precisely calculated by Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam."
A few dozen kilometers were traversed in almost an instant, with the colossal objects around barely having time to react when a streak of blue light abruptly burst on the near-Earth orbit outside the Emerald Star's atmosphere.
A dazzling speck of light inflated into a massive light sphere at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a blue mist full of terrifying annihilation power sweeping toward the nearby three biological space motherships.
