Chapter 288 281 Light Sphere Explosion
The holographic star map displayed the figures of two hundred thousand super fusion fusion bombs, and Bai Zhongqi felt as if a wave of excitement was rolling in his chest as he watched the Teizene Fleet bear the brunt of the meticulously planned strike.
As a rather unconventional weapon, the super fusion fusion bomb, though simplified by atomic substance construction compared to the manufacturing of nuclear weapons in the old era, still required an exceptionally complex set of procedures and techniques, consuming a significant amount of labor hours to produce.
Bai Zhongqi had spent half a year gathering these two hundred thousand super fusion fusion bombs, and now he was giving them all to the malevolent friends from a thousand light-years away.
Inside Changxiu Base, Xu Lanzhou too stared at the screen, displaying rapid approach of myriad points of light towards the enemy fleet cluster, utterly stunned. Since her birth, the Iridium Star United Empire had already dominated several major star zones, and no other civilizations could contend with the Iridium Star, nor were there any large-scale wars anymore.
Even during the Spiral Mosquito Star War two hundred years ago, the Iridium Star Fleet mainly engaged in physical confrontations, accompanied by strategically planned strikes and interceptions, rarely setting such a dramatic trap in the entire galaxy to specifically counter the Teizene people like today.
The simultaneous shooting of two hundred thousand super fusion fusion bombs, forming a restraining force field with traction light beams to limit the enemy's movement, was an ambush by Bai Zhongqi that was awe-inspiring in its sheer audacity.
Xu Lanzhou couldn't help but anticipate, eager to see the kind of impact this grand ambush would have on the Teizene.
The Earth generals in the unified command center of Changxiu shared the same sentiment, with Universe Army Major General Tang Xinhua from Country C exhilarated; he braced himself against the table, his eyes unblinking as he stared at the holographic screen, muttering, "It must work, it has to work."
By his side, the Russian-born Major General Ivanovich laughed heartily, clapping his comrade's shoulder, saying, "If this doesn't work, what will? We've just dumped two hundred thousand super weapons on the enemy's head, worse than the 'Great Ivan'; those lizards are probably turning into roasted lizards now."
At this moment, however, Major General Goodwin from Lighthouse Country furrowed his brows, pointing at the screen and alerting his colleagues, "Look, the Teizene are trying to intercept."
Tang Xinhua and Ivanovich looked at the screen and immediately noticed that many of the rapidly flying super fusion fusion bombs disappeared before hitting the enemy warships, turning into gigantic light spheres that enveloped areas spanning hundreds and even thousands of kilometers.
If there were another missile within that range, it too would be detonated.
Bai Zhongqi noticed this situation as well, but he remained composed because he had anticipated it. The Frost River Galaxy was not large, and the platforms capable of launching missiles were only a few planets forcibly controlled by the Star Alliance. These missiles needed to travel over an astronomical unit to hit the enemy, and they were bound to encounter interceptions during the journey.@@novelbin@@
He had set the program to spread out the group of missiles as much as possible to prevent one from getting intercepted and the others being affected, but in practice, this was challenging.
The Teizene warships, after all, numbered 1200, each armed to the teeth, with main battle ships even equipped with thousands of ship cannons, creating massive barrages when firing simultaneously, and the magnetic bullets were significantly destructive against the missiles.
Loads of super fusion fusion bombs were intercepted, turning into light spheres, and the Teizene showcased their military discipline at that moment. Even in such a critical situation, they reacted immediately and carried out counter-interception in an orderly manner.
Zero came to Bai Zhongqi's side and said, "It's okay, even if they manage to intercept some, they'll still get a good taste of the bombs. That's more than enough for them to deal with."
Bai Zhongqi nodded, silently agreeable.
Zero looked at Bai Zhongqi's profile, feeling slightly worried. She had never seen such a Bai Zhongqi before; the Chancellor's excessive silence was unnerving, making one wonder what he was truly thinking. Zero was fully aware of the heavy burden currently on the Chancellor's shoulders. Although this ambush might seem minor, it was after all the first battle against the enemy, where a good performance could boost morale while a poor outcome might adversely affect the Star Alliance's spirit.
At that moment, the outermost Teizene warships had begun to endure the firepower of the Super Fusion Fusion Bombs. Even with their exceptional interception abilities, known as the AOE artifact "want your life 2333," the bombs could still inflict damage when launched in massive group attacks.
The first to be hit were the Teizene escort ships on the periphery, where missiles intercepted too closely instantly turned into light spheres with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Pure energy surged over the shields of the Teizene escort ships in a brief moment before anyone could react.
At the same time, these affected Teizene escort ships began to shake violently, disrupting their intercept missions, as more "want your life 2333" projectiles flew in, exploding into deadly light spheres.
Finally, the first Teizene escort ship that couldn't withstand this terrifying attack appeared, its shield shattering like broken glass. Without the shield, the warship had no chance against the violent energy torrent, being vaporized instantly.
The Super Fusion Fusion Bomb was a weapon that erupted with astonishing energy within just a few seconds, and its effect lasted only a few seconds. A warship without its shield might suffer severe damage to much of its hull within seconds but wouldn't be completely destroyed. However, enduring one hit after another, by the time the sixth bomb hit this Teizene escort ship, nothing was left of it.
Bai Zhongqi swung his arm fiercely, foreseeing the sinking of more Teizene warships behind the first one.
Meanwhile, on the Holy Sovereign King Number, the Sixteenth Prince Su Beisi wasn't sitting idle either. He didn't care that his warships were being destroyed and looked at his technical officer.
"Are you ready?"
The technical officer gave a positive reply, "Everything is ready, starting immediately."
In Su Beisi's sharp pupils, there was a calmness and confidence of a battlefield genius. Even under the bombardment of two hundred thousand bombs, he never believed that he would fail.

In his mind, he recalled an incident from over thirty years ago when he was still a child in the imperial palace.
Cornered and beaten by brothers several years older than him, Su Beisi was smeared with blood all over his scales. His pitiful condition was witnessed by his father, the Great Emperor of Teizene, who came forward without a word of comfort for his son.
"Did you lose?"
The young Su Beisi still retorted defiantly, "No, they are older than me. If they were my age, I would have beaten them until they couldn't find their teeth."
The Great Emperor seriously told him, "Victors don't look for excuses; they find ways to win."
Then, the Great Emperor turned and left: "Even when you're severely beaten, there's always a chance to win if you use your brain."
Su Beisi stared at his indifferent father, his heart tumultuous.
A week later, when Su Beisi was being beaten again by his brothers, he pulled out a hidden dagger and drove it into the heart of the fiercest brother, stunning the others.
Su Beisi faced no punishment, and from then on, no one dared to bully him again.
