Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 168: Fighting Space Worms

Yun Mingyue received a report from her son and directly rushed there, this was not because the one who met the Space Worm was her son so emotions took over, but indeed from the beginning it was decided, already, any team that meets with life, should give a message to all existing teams, and if help is needed, all teams should act in accordance with the threat.

If it is not too threatening, then only the nearest team needs to come, but different things like Space Worm shown—all teams, must come!

Moreover, this discovery actually proves that there is life other than on Earth, and perhaps beyond the Solar System there is a high-level civilization. Just waiting for time before coming, whether it was to establish a cooperative relationship, or enslave. But looking at the power and technology and human population on Earth, it is unlikely that a civilization capable of abandoning the tools inside the Moon, as well as traveling between the Stars would be willing to cooperate with humanity.

The soldiers who came from the Imperial City were excited after learning that there was life on Mars, and without thinking long, they went to the given coordinate point.

On the other hand, Fan Chen jumped off the Magnet Levitation Car; resting on the red ground, the two saw the Space Worms moving its massive body to strike back at the Robot Basel.

The Basel robot clenched its left hand; suddenly an energy shield appeared in front of it with a flash of lightning around it.

Bang out!

The energy shield managed to withstand the attack of the Space Worm, but the Basel Robot experienced a large decrease in power, even to the point of using backup power. This never happened, even during previous tests, the energy shield was able to withstand several nuclear explosions of 20 Megatons of TNT before finally using backup power.

From here it can be known how powerful the Space Worms that inhabit Mars, and this is still one, do not know if there are still others.

If these Space Worms cross space and go to Earth, then all life on Earth will be wiped out.

“The use of energy shield is too large and consumes all the power ..”

“Search solutions ..”

“Activating backup power ..”

Fan Chen heard report after report of the power usage of the Basel Robot. He felt the pressure, the power required was too great, even the Arc Reactor was unable to compensate for the power expenditure to maintain the energy shield.

"It looks like the Energy Crystal Converter should be used to replace the Arc Reactor. But unfortunately, even though there are already examples from the Space Base, we are still not able to break through this technology." Fan Chen said with emotion, then he took out more Giant Basel Robots (Mark-808).

The Mark-808 robot appears to surround the Space Worm, taking out traditional weapons: a sword, a hammer, and a cutting ring.

Mark's robot carrying a cutting ring directs it to the body of the Space Worm hoping to cut its body into two parts, but in fact it is not like that.

Space Worms are extremely powerful, surpassing the strongest materials in the world. When the cutting ring hit his body, suddenly the red color on his body turned dark like metal, and a faint sound of iron clashing sounded.

Another Mark robot acted, swinging a hand that carried a sword larger than its body size. But when it hit the body of the Space Worm, the sword capable of splitting the most advanced aircraft carrier belonging to the Bald Eagle Country, broke into two parts.

This attack had an incredible destroyed power, it had a strength of at least 240,000 tons, yet this power was still unable to injure the Space Worm.

Fan Chen was speechless, not knowing what to say when he saw this scene, but he knew, the incoming reinforcements team was unable to do anything before this Space Worm.

The Space Worm is fed up, it emits electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves to eliminate the creatures around it. This electromagnetic wave is very strong, even Robot Mark to emit a squeaking sound and it looks faintly there is a flash of electricity.

Fan Chen who was near the Space Worm, also suffered circuit damage. "Move .. all our consciousness to ... Replacement Robot ... which I sent earlier .. and do self-destruction."

Yes, when the sudden explosion appeared, at least before he asked for reinforcements, Fan Chen had already taken out another Magnet Levitation Car containing his Substitute Robot to go to Mount Olympus.

“Good, Master.” Xiaochu's voice rang out, then Robot Mark and the Substitute Robot emitted a red beam as well as the temperature started to rise.

Boom up! Boom up! Boom up!

Robot Mark exploded first, confining the Space Worm inside, the ground beneath him crumbling and turning into hot lava. The flames lit up for a moment before finally disappearing, but the black sand was still visible floating in the sky.

The Space Worm opened its mouth and was seen screaming despite not making any sound, but there was a change in the surrounding gravity, it was characterized by sand falling faster than the earth's gravitational acceleration.

His body, which had not shown any injuries at first, was now visible as a wound. The skin that was as thick as an adult's arm fell, revealing red flesh within it, but this skin did not fall entirely, but only one square meter. This size is very small when compared to its body size.

The Space Worm saw the J-18 Space Combat Planes in the sky that kept attacking and inflicting pain on him. He opened his mouth again, and suddenly, the J-18 Space Combat Planes in the sky exploded one after another, dropping metal debris.

—Space Base—

At this moment, the alarm went off with flickering red lights throughout the room on the Space Base, and in the main control room, a repeated warning was heard:

“Strong energy detection comes with speed of 4,000 km/h ..”

“Strong energy detection comes with speed 6,500 km/h ..”

“Detecting powerful energy coming with speed 80,000 km/h ..”

“Detecting powerful energy coming with speed of 900,000 km/h ..”

“Facing impact within 20 seconds!”

“Activating defense with full capacity!”

After the notifications that sounded one after another, finally his voice changed with a low hum, then from each arm of the Space Base shot out a blue light. The blue light exploded, opened and connected to each other forming a giant protector with a semicircular shape.

This protector is focused in one place to be more energy efficient and its defense is twice as strong, even though it can withstand this energy, but at least prevention is done as a guarantee.

Bang out!

The Space Base experienced a great tremor and it was seen that the purple light protector was surging like it was touching calm water as the energy released by the Space Worms hit the energy shield.

1,500 Railguns that have locked the Space Worm, fired in time adjacent to the speed of 600,000 km/h. Then there is the Plasma Cannon which shoots at a speed of 850,000 km/h.

...***...

—Mars—

Fan Chen received a report from Xiaochu that the Space Base had been attacked by Space Worms using invisible energy waves.

"Kinetic attack ..." Fan Chen muttered, he knew that the strongest attack was a violent one. It's just like a regular bullet projectile, sometimes this attack is more powerful than a laser.

This kinetic attack has the same concept as the Railgun, but the Railgun uses an electromagnetic field to propel projectiles made of tungsten alloy. But unlike the kinetic attack like the one used by Space Worms, it isolates the space around, then pushes the different particles of charge and collides with each other, it gives rise to an incredible destructive force.

"I don't know if there is only one Space Worm on Mars, and whether asteroids coming from outside the Solar System carry more Space Worms or not. If it carries the Space Worm, then the MK-888N Spacecraft we sent is useless, and humanity will perish within three years."
