The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 702 - 695: Escape from the Solar System
Chapter 702: Chapter 695: Escape from the Solar System
Gao Yuan was lying on Xinghe’s back when he came out; when Gao Yuan’s head first burst through the door that Xinghe had cut open, the people standing guard outside jumped in fright.
Jumping down from Xinghe’s back, Gao Yuan first looked up at the sky, then he immediately cried out anxiously, "Have the Serpent People’s mother ships arrived?"
"What? No!"
Ram put away his rifle, and at this moment, Luo Xingyu had also rushed out of the mother ship.
After both mechas had left the mother ship, Gao Yuan immediately roared, "Where’s the panel we just cut off? Seal it! Seal it up quick!"
Xiang Weiguo carried over the metal panel that had been cut from the mother ship somewhat awkwardly, then he said in a low voice, "I thought this thing might be useful, taking it back for research is also a good idea..."
Ram asked urgently, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
"There’s a monster outbreak, they’ve killed all the Serpent People, and another one of the Serpent People’s mother ships has come."
Everyone looked up at the sky, and then Ram said urgently, "I don’t see another mother ship."
Xinghe opened her mecha, then she said urgently, "Give me Revelation, quick."
Xinghe’s mecha couldn’t detect the exact location of the other mother ship, but Revelation could. As soon as Jia Weidong hurriedly took Revelation out from within the 59th, Xinghe quickly activated Revelation.
Now, the biggest threat was still the Serpent People; as for the monsters inside the mother ship, they could only be considered a minor irritation now.
Xinghe only took one look, then she immediately said, "It’s not the second mother ship, it’s the third."
Everyone knew what Mother Ship No. 3 meant.
The Serpent People had three mother ships in total. Relatively speaking, the two mother ships that had entered Earth’s atmosphere were the smaller ones, and the largest one was the mother ship that remained on the Moon. freēnovelkiss.com
Mother Ship No. 3 had not been forgotten, but Gao Yuan subconsciously thought that if they were to rescue the mother ship brought down by the Ark, the other mother ship on Earth would be the nearest and quickest. But the outcome turned out to be that Mother Ship No. 3, stationed on the Moon, had conducted a rescue operation in space.
Gao Yuan suddenly felt that the situation had once again exceeded his imagination.
The Ark, from being discovered to bringing down one of the Serpent People’s mother ships, happened so quickly that even the people who had personally experienced the entire event couldn’t react in time, unable to imagine what had happened.
But now, as time passed, it was quite normal for the Serpent People to start reacting.
"Will Mother Ship No. 3 destroy Earth?"
Gao Yuan asked this question very nervously, but Xinghe said in great surprise, "Mother Ship No. 3 is moving away from Earth..."
"What?"
"What?"
"What does that mean!"
The words from Xinghe brought a series of questions, but Xinghe suddenly raised her head and said, "The speed of Mother Ship No. 3 is increasing, and it’s moving away from Earth. This mother ship sent energy to the Moon, trying to help the remaining Serpent People escape with those small spacecraft. But after discovering that all the Serpent People had died, Mother Ship No. 3 immediately started accelerating away. They’re leaving the Moon’s gravitational field. The gravity of the Moon is already weak, and now Mother Ship No. 3 has broken free from it!"
"The Serpent People... are running? The Serpent People are running!"
Ram suddenly stood up and then, with an incredulous face but an extremely firm tone, said, "The Serpent People are just trying to run away!"
Ram looked at Xinghe and then asked urgently, "Is there any way? I mean, is there a way to destroy Mother Ship No. 3?"
Xinghe spread her hands and replied, "What can I do?"
It was a surprise, but more than that, it was intolerable. The Serpent People had nearly destroyed Earth’s civilization and slaughtered most of the human race, only to find that an advanced civilization surpassing their own had suddenly appeared on Earth, and their first reaction was to leave.
As invaders, as a scientific expedition of the Serpent People, fleeing when they couldn’t win was indeed a reasonable response. But for Gao Yuan, the Serpent People couldn’t just think to run away after they were defeated, could they? Was there such an easy way out?
The most important thing was, if the primary mother ship of the Serpent People escaped, what would humanity do next? The Ark no longer had energy, human technology had made breakthrough progress, but it was still far behind the Serpent People. If the third and largest mother ship also escaped, would humanity have to live in constant anxiety from now on?
Gao Yuan looked at Xinghe and said gently, "Think of something. We can’t just let the Serpent People run away like this."
Xinghe was silent for a moment, then her faceplate opened to reveal a slightly tired face.
"Theoretically, considering the civilizational traits of the Serpent People, Mother Ship No. 3 is the core and the guarantee of their military strength. From the perspective of interstellar exploration, the Serpent People don’t need very powerful weapons systems. However, for a spacefaring civilization in an expansion phase, encountering other advanced civilizations is likely, so a certain self-defense capability is important," she said.
Xinghe turned to look at the massive mother ship in front of her and explained, "This is a mother ship with a clear function, its main task has never been combat, but to replace a planet’s native species with biological weapons, then eradicate the creatures it created. This is the simplest way to occupy, causing minimal collateral damage. So, this is just a basic transport and production base, while Mother Ship No. 3 is a fully functional spacecraft, a small asteroid. If this mother ship tries to escape, my advice is to let it go. The best outcome is to scare away the Serpent People."
Between the lines of what Xinghe said was, let this mother ship escape and don’t provoke the most fully equipped mother ship. Now that the Serpent People are confused and are leaving on their own accord is already the best outcome.
"I have a suggestion. Let’s call this mother ship Ark No. 1, the one of the same type as Ark No. 2, and the one on the Moon as Mother Ship No. 3. Now, my question is whether the Ark can catch up and get close to Mother Ship No. 3, and whether nuclear weapons can damage or even completely destroy it."
Xinghe immediately looked at Ram in slight surprise, but Ram nodded and said, "As long as Mother Ship No. 3 can be destroyed, no matter the cost, I think it’s worth it."
Nate elegantly added, "I believe the power of a nuclear weapon isn’t a problem. If the Ark can only be used as a transport, but as long as we can break through the Serpent People’s defenses and get close to Mother Ship No. 3, then a nuclear weapon is enough to destroy it."
Xinghe exhaled and said, "Mother Ship No. 3 will take a long time to reach its maximum speed from startup. I think there’s no technical difficulty for the Ark to catch up and approach Mother Ship No. 3. The only problem is how to destroy Mother Ship No. 3. In the atmosphere, nuclear weapons are devastating, but in the vacuum of space, their effectiveness isn’t great. If you’re thinking of using nuclear weapons to destroy Mother Ship No. 3, it’s not very realistic."
