"This is a tablet with remote control permissions. Although I don't know what you're planning to do, things have come to this point, so I'm willing to take a gamble with you. Please come with me."
After saying that, he didn't hesitate for long and led the group through the huge underground city.
"Aren't they panicking much?"
As March 7 traversed the underground city, he looked at the people who, though anxious, remained relatively calm with some surprise.
"Yes, we all have a lot of training in emergency situations. After all, we were preparing to cross the stars. In this endless time and boundless universe, who knows what kind of situation we might encounter."
"Therefore, in order to prevent the organization from disintegrating due to unforeseen circumstances, we receive training in this area from a young age."
"Truly impressive... No wonder the city builders said that the Amber King had been watching you for a long time. This truly demonstrates that the way of preservation has been taken to its extreme."
March 7th sighed.
"Haha, this is a last resort. Who doesn't want to grow up happily? Oh, the reactor is just ahead. Please follow me, and I'll explain the situation to the guards."
The man suddenly stopped and pointed to the enormous steel structure in front of him.
27. Destroy the spaceship's shield.
"Re-fusion reactors, a technology we are proud of, are also the foundation that supports our journey across the stars."
He pointed to the enormous structure in front of him, his face beaming with pride.
Bai Zhi understood the other party's pride; even in this world, this kind of technology was considered a very good, dream-like skill.
Although she didn't quite understand the specific technical details, to put it simply, this thing only requires burning stones to obtain energy, which is very peculiar and powerful.
However, any technical details are no longer relevant to Angelica dahurica.
What she needs to do now is to give this massive thing a small buff, turning it into a complete and utter weapon of mass destruction.
"Alright, I've spoken with the guards. It's not exactly standard procedure, but it's an emergency now. Do you want to go in?"
A moment later, the man walked to Bai Zhi's side and said in a low voice.
"Actually, there's no need to go inside. As long as I can touch its outer shell, that's enough."
Bai Zhi walked to the solid outer shell of the giant reactor, silently recited the dragon incantation, and then placed her hands on the slightly warm steel wall.
With a crisp click of the camera shutter, a phantom image of a dragon head, exuding an imposing aura, rose above Bai Zhi's head.
In an instant, the entire reactor shook violently, and a faint reddish-brown glow appeared on its surface.
"This... the reactor's energy reserve index is rising rapidly, it's full of energy, oh my god!!"
The man held the tablet, staring wide-eyed at the information transmitted by the sensors, feeling his worldview being challenged.
After all, the conservation of energy has always been a truth.
If this Ms. Bai Zhi could fill the reactor in one go, wouldn't that mean she herself is a walking super reactor, and such a super reactor doesn't have any energy leakage or heat generation?
And how can such a small body contain so much energy? It's very unscientific.
How is so much energy injected into the reactor without causing an explosion? Fusion reactors are precisely controlled by computers; can the human brain interfere with this energy without causing other problems?
If Bai Zhi knew what this guy was thinking, she would definitely tap him on the head and say, "Don't look at metaphysical matters with a scientific worldview."
"Phew...it seems it really works."
Looking at the reactor now coated with a layer of red, Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction. If the Dragon Talisman could be used on objects, then the future expansion potential of the Dragon Talisman was truly immense.
"Now, let's activate the thrusters and burn that thing in the sky to ashes!"
Bai Zhi turned around and spoke to the man, a hint of savagery flashing in her ruby-like eyes. The experience of being knocked over made her very unhappy, so she wanted to teach these guys a lesson.
"Is this really okay?" He hesitated, mainly because the fact that it didn't have any effect on the warship at first had given him a psychological trauma.
He was also worried that if the ship above wasn't shot down when it was restarted, the railgun would probably be aimed directly at the underground city and the thrusters.
"Okay, as long as you trust me." Bai Zhi nodded without hesitation.
“That’s right, Xiao Baizhi is very capable, just trust her.” March 7th patted his chest and assured her.
“…”
After a moment of silence, the man finally gritted his teeth, took out his tablet, verified his fingerprint, iris scan, and various other data, and then clicked a rudimentary overload button.
After clicking the button, he performed several actions, and the outside surveillance footage appeared on the screen.
"Gentlemen, I trust you. The thruster overload has now been activated. This is the monitoring data outside."
Without hesitation, the group immediately moved closer.
As the reactor's energy surged violently, the entire thruster began to glow red.
Seemingly noticing the abnormality of the thrusters, the hulls of the antimatter legion warships that were continuously being airdropped from the sky began to glow red, as if preparing to give these restless natives a little shock of interstellar war.
But in the next second, a torrent of crimson energy burst forth, engulfing the entire warship.
"Haha, these natives are hilarious, trying to break through the spaceship's shield using this method."
Inside the antimatter legion, a person dressed in purplish-black clothing looked at the incoming torrent of energy and laughed mockingly.
As an ambitious man who joined the antimatter legion, he had long been waiting for a similar opportunity. Destroying ordinary planets was nothing to Nanuk.
However, if the planet that the Amber King has been watching over for so long is destroyed, then he will surely gain Nanuk's favor.
There's even a tiny, albeit slight, chance, that he could be directly promoted to a Destruction Envoy.
He had specifically fought for this opportunity.
Even the Great Lord of Annihilation patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, and maybe you can reach my level too."
Is there any doubt? An indigenous planet with some fancy technology is utterly powerless against a true interstellar civilization.
This time, he will inevitably become an even stronger being.
Perhaps that Great King of Annihilation will have to address him as an equal from now on.
The ambitious man crossed his legs, looking nonchalantly at the fiery red that filled his entire field of vision.
He was waiting, waiting for the energy below to run out, which would make them feel more desperate and also make him more happy.
only....
He tugged at his collar, and for some reason, felt a bit hot inside the spaceship.
"Is it a psychological effect caused by looking at this thing?"
He thought to himself, but for some reason, he felt even hotter all over.
"Weird."
The ambitious man wondered to himself, then picked up the coffee cup beside him, preparing to take a small sip.
But when he tasted it, he realized something was wrong, because the coffee had been sitting for several hours and was no longer hot.
But now, the coffee has actually become a little warm.
This led him to a rather unpleasant suspicion.
He quickly put down his coffee cup, placed his hands on the virtual screen, and began operating it to retrieve relevant monitoring data about the spacecraft.
As a result, he saw a shocking statistic: the energy shield was being rapidly depleted, dropping from 20% to 5% in the very moment he looked at it.
"This... is impossible. Those natives, at most, have fusion technology. Mine is antimatter energy. Our energy output far exceeds theirs. How could it become like this?"
He rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe it.
But sometimes reality is cruel. On the monitoring screen, the shield's energy index suddenly dropped to 1, accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, and a red alarm rang throughout the spaceship.
It was hot, extremely hot. That's how the ambitious man felt right now; he felt like he was being roasted on a barbecue grill.
Everything around them began to glow with a fiery red light, flammable materials began to burn, and steel emitted a foul, burnt smell.
Even the clothes he was wearing started to spontaneously combust.
28. Aha's Reward
"Wow, that's spectacular!"
Looking at the footage transmitted from the camera, March 7th exclaimed in surprise.
Because in the clear footage transmitted back by the high-definition camera, it can be seen that the once invincible spaceship, although still hovering, has changed from its original appearance into a huge fireball.
From a distance, it looks like a sun hanging high in the sky.
Moreover, this sun is constantly scattering matter outwards.
Everyone knew that the scattered matter was none other than the antimatter legion that was originally on the spaceship. They were engulfed in flames, like giant, red-hot shrimp, falling helplessly from the sky and crashing onto the ground.
The power from the dragon talisman adhered to them, slowly burning and eroding them until they turned to ashes.
"The power of Angelica dahurica is so strong."
"Fortunately, it was just a trick. I definitely couldn't have done it on my own."
To be honest, although her own attacks could also burn others, the range was too small. Even if her Dragon Blast hit the spaceship, it would mostly only burn the energy shield for a moment.
However, the area covered by the thruster's exhaust flame far exceeds that of the Dragon Blast, essentially enveloping the entire spaceship.
In that short period of time, the spaceship endured countless explosions, causing it to deplete its energy and explode, and its protective shield shattered in no time.
Slowly, the spaceship that was suspended in the air began to tilt, and then, like a collapsing building, it crashed down with a terrifying force.
"boom!!"
The loud sound didn't come from inside the tablet, but from the surrounding area.
Even though the massive warships weren't as big as the dungeons, their weight was still considerable, and their impact caused several small earthquakes.
Fortunately, the underground city, as a doomsday fortress, had incredibly sturdy buildings, and the crash of such a massive spaceship did not cause the surrounding buildings to collapse.
"Is that the solution?"
The dungeon's administrator stared wide-eyed at the spaceship that had crashed to the ground and was still burning.
He never imagined that the once invincible alien spaceship would explode just like that, after being enchanted by Bai Zhi's thrusters.
"You...you are truly our great hero, our savior!!"
He was almost incoherent. He hadn't died on Jupiter before, and he was probably going to die at the hands of these antimatter legions this time, but he was saved so easily.
"It's a small problem. Besides, that guy dared to blow me up so badly. I won't let it go until I teach them a lesson!"
Bai Zhi said this with a smile, but the dungeon manager in front of her shuddered because he saw a trace of savagery in Bai Zhi's eyes, like the cruel feeling that a dangerous animal would show when disturbed by a weak life.
However, he didn't say much. Being cruel to the enemy is being kind to oneself. No one would think that those antimatter legions were something worth saving.
"what..."
Bai Zhi looked at her system panel with some surprise and doubt.
Above, her Dragon Charm unlock points had actually reached a whopping 150.
What's going on? Wasn't the event venue just smashed? How come there are suddenly so many points?
Bai Zhi was somewhat confused, so she decided to check the system log.
[Ding! The Star God of Joy, Aha, appreciates your performance. You have gained 149 Dragon Charm unlock points.]
"You appreciate my performance?" Bai Zhi scratched her head, looked around, and then at the images coming from the tablet. She seemed to understand how this super entertainer felt.
Organizing ordinary competitions for ordinary people is too commonplace for this Star God.
Just now, after putting on a show of the thruster exhaust flames baking the spaceship, this gleeful star god was probably really happy.
It's utterly ridiculous and delightful that a mighty antimatter legion could have its troop transport destroyed in such a way by a civilization that hasn't even left its home star system.
After Bai Zhi finished reading the log, the system message popped up again.
[Ding! Aha believes you have a deep understanding of the essence of pleasure, so he has rewarded you with some extra items. You will randomly unlock one level 3 spell usage privilege.]
[Random talisman selected - Tiger Talisman Level 3 effect once]
[Tiger Talisman LV3 - It can balance Yin and Yang, resolve conflicts between various forces, and make units harmonious and unified, with their minds restored to their original state. Its effect can be used on Commander-level units.]
"Fuck!"
Upon seeing this effect, Bai Zhi's eyes widened slightly.
