577 Omni-directional Defense System, Alien Visitor
“Heavens! We’re really about to launch space weapons and build a planetary defense system. This planet has truly become a higher civilization!” A citizen in the crowd sighed.
“That’s right. I still find it hard to believe. We’ve developed a lot faster in the past few months than we ever had in the last several hundred years!” a man beside him echoed.
“Look at the energy that the nuclear fusion reactors around us provide. It’s endless. All of this feels like a dream…” Another person looked at the sky and sighed.
On this day, people all over the world were waiting in nervous anticipation. They wanted to see what kind of weapon Wu Mo would launch to protect their planet.
Even the leaders of other countries showed up to observe the weapon up close.
“Oh, is that the Heavenly Cannon?” Someone in the crowd pointed at the launch pad in the distance. There was a device that seemed peculiar in comparison to other cannons on their planet. It was the Heavenly Cannon that Wu Mo had mentioned before.
The Heavenly Cannon had a longer shooting range and greater power. Most importantly, it could be fired in a vacuum environment, which would grant it that greater shooting range and explosive power.
After many virtual simulations, Wu Mo speculated that the Heavenly Cannon was almost as powerful as a hundred high-density laser missiles in terms of explosive power. It was shocking.
The Ultimate Power Generation Center was like a pair of eyes, and the giant cannon was like a pair of hands.
Together, they scanned the vast starry sky, ready to attack at any time and completely crush all threats.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as part of our planetary defense plan, our Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center will break through the atmosphere and float in space. They will become solid shields for our planet.”
Following Wu Mo’s signal, an official representative announced the commencement of the plan before the global media.
The planetary defense plan was not limited to the Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center!
In the Planetary Alliance, any capable country with determination could contribute their own top-notch equipment. They could send it to outer space on spaceships in an effort to protect their planet together.
However, at this stage, they could only be bystanders. They had no means to participate in such a grand plan!
As for Wu Mo, he was silently making preparations for the next step of his planetary defense plan.
The Heavenly Cannon and the Ultimate Power Generation Center merely represented the prologue.
The cannon was the first to break through the atmosphere and enter space!
As the launch vehicle propelled it, only a small portion of antimatter was converted into kinetic energy. It managed to quickly break through the constraints of the atmosphere and be released in space.
The device platform left the rocket and slowly floated along the predetermined orbit.
“We’ve succeeded! We’ve finally succeeded! This space cannon will be controlled by the latest command system. Once a target appears, the cannon will lock onto it and eliminate it immediately!” a Chinese researcher shouted excitedly.
After the Heavenly Cannon’s successful launch, the next thing to appear was the Ultimate Power Generation Center.
This mysterious device confused everyone. They did not understand what it was.
It was not until an official explained it that they came to a realization. The Ultimate Power Generation Center slowly rose into space in a launch vehicle as well. Its ascent was soon announced as a success.
Being an advocate and pioneer of the planetary defense plan, Wu Mo walked onto the central podium and explained the plan’s core significance to the world.
“Everyone, the Heavenly Cannon has the power to cause an earth-shaking explosion in the vacuum. Nothing else can match its range. In other words, if an alien spaceship approached, it would suffer a devastating blow from the giant cannon,” Wu Mo’s words echoed in the air.
“Alien civilizations would also be within its attack range?”
For a moment, everyone was shocked. No one thought that the Heavenly Cannon would be so powerful.
“Chief Wu, what if a creature from the four-dimensional space invades us? Can the Heavenly Cannon lock onto it?”
A question broke the silence.
However, Wu Mo smiled and replied, “In anticipation of that, we created a second device, the Ultimate Power Generation Center.”
“So the Ultimate Power Generation Center deals with four-dimensional creatures?” Everyone was enlightened.
“The Ultimate Power Generation Center is like a giant eye,” Wu Mo continued. “What makes it more powerful is that it can supply energy endlessly. This makes sure that the cannon will be accurate and will not lose its trajectory.”
Hearing this, everyone understood that the Ultimate Power Generation Center was similar to a command center, and the Heavenly Cannon was the powerful weapon that it controlled.
Wu Mo’s simple explanation gave everyone a deeper understanding of the planetary defense plan.
Now, every country in the Planetary Alliance was working hard to develop equipment like the Heavenly Cannon and Ultimate Power Generation Center. They were scrambling to participate in the planetary defense plan.
Any country that could follow in China’s footsteps and become the second country to participate in the defense plan would undoubtedly receive high honor and praise. At the same time, it would, to a certain extent, establish itself as a powerful country.
Even though no country could surpass China at the moment, it was still a great honor for anyone to be ranked second.
Once Wu Mo’s defense plan was launched, it caused a huge sensation around the world.
People generally believed that their civilization had entered Level 4 and would soon enter Level 3.
The explosion of technology followed.
With their wisdom and perseverance, the masters of science from all over the world created many unprecedented weapons. However, most ideas could only remain on paper with their seemingly infinite potential. They had no practical effect and could only be classified as daydreams of madmen.
Nevertheless, there were still some ideas that were carefully improved with subtle guidance from Wu Mo. They were successfully included in the defense plan, which made their planet more secure in the vast universe.
Wu Mo thought to himself, ‘Once we have dark matter at our disposal, our civilization will completely enter Level 3. When that happens, our spaceships will be able to travel light-years and search for those wonderful wormholes. We’ll be able to travel through them and even reach further star fields.’
On this day of anticipation, a strange aircraft that resembled a shuttle slowly sailed through space and approached a blue planet.
Those manning it had been wandering aimlessly in search of their lost companions. However, when they arrived, they felt a strong signal interference, which forced their aircraft to slow down.
“Hmm? There’s an obstacle ahead. What is it?” A strange creature in the aircraft frowned, and its mind was full of questions.
They were dressed in green and covered in green hair. Although their faces did not look human, they were three-dimensional.
At this moment, they were shocked to discover that there were floating patches of… trash!
“What’s going on? This planet looks pleasant, but how can there be so much garbage floating just beyond its atmosphere?”
The alien creatures in the aircraft were confused. At the same time, they accelerated and tried to clean up the trash.
