An Insectoid Ability User
It was hard to imagine that the Tomahawk would be able to pass through a single damage on this massive warship.
Turn on all the lighting systems, Xia Fei ordered with both hands on the rudder.
* Whoosh! *
The sixteen high-intensity searchlights that the Tomahawk carried extended out from beneath its armor, shining in all directions from different angles.
Xia Fei estimated that the hull and structure of the warship was at least a hundred meters thick. According to the information obtained from the metal detector, the warship was made of tritanium alloy and Naz fluid, a rare metal that prevented electronic interference. In other words, no electronic interference devices could affect its normal operation.
A hundred meters of thick hull and structure! Xia Fei, on the other hand, was more interested in the firepower that had destroyed this superwarship. He could not imagine just what kind of firepower would be able to blast through such thick armor. What he could be sure of was that since this weapon could destroy such a huge warship, it would be fatal when used against smaller warships. A battleship or even an ordinary aircraft carrier could be reduced to ashes with just a light shot.
To think that such powerful firepower existed in this world. If this kind of firepower was used to bombard Earth, it would not take more than a few minutes for the entire planet to be blown to smithereens.
The Tomahawk was like a bug that had accidentally entered a mansion. No matter how powerful the Tomahawk was, it was insignificant in front of this warship.
None of the warships that the Pan-Human Alliance currently possessed could stand up to this, not even the legendary supercarriers.
With the help of the searchlights, Xia Fei was finally able to see the interior of this superwarship.
Oh my god! This is practically a city! "Harris exclaimed in shock.
Xia Fei shook his head, his expression grim. This isnt a city but a mobile planet, a deadly one!
About an hour later, Xia Fei slowly drove the Tomahawk out of the superwarship, leaving a huge shock in everyone's heart. Such a huge object could not help but make them doubt their own eyes. Its existence had already surpassed the limits of human imagination.
Harris shook his head, returning to his room full of doubts to continue his genetic research. Only Xia Fei and Phantom were left in the command deck.
Something is wrong with this warship. Why is it so empty inside? This sort of massive warship should have plenty of weapons and equipment, Phantom wondered.
Xia Fei chuckled. "It's obvious that this warship isn't finished yet.
Not finished?
"Yes." Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "There's even a gallows attached to one side of the warship, which means that it was docked in the shipyard when it was attacked. The external cannons have already been installed, but the weapon system is yet to be installed. The interior is less than fifteen percent complete, and even the propulsion system has yet to be installed."
Phantom listened to Xia Fei's analysis and recalled what he had just seen. It was indeed as Xia Fei had said. There were many parts of the warship that were still in the assembly stage, and there were many large cranes inside the warship. Once it was completed, these cranes should have all been removed.
"An unfinished battleship was attacked by the enemy and lost in the sea of stars. What a pity. Who could have shot down such a powerful battleship?"
Xia Fei thought about it. I can't say for sure who shot it down, but judging from the firepower of the other party, they're definitely no weaker than this super warship. Look at the damage on the warship's armor. The damage here is circular and very regular, probably caused by pulse laser cannons.
"The damage here is in the shape of a star, likely caused by a large antimatter cannonball, while this place is in the shape of a cross. I'm guessing that it was left by a missile or a torpedo. All of this points to the fact that the enemy wasn't a single warship but a complete fleet."
Different weapons would cause different damage. Xia Fei pointed at the damage on the super warship outside the porthole and explained it to Phantom.
"Exactly how many warships were attacking it at the same time?" Phantom asked.
"A lot, and the warships that attacked it were at least similar in size and firepower to this ship, possibly even stronger," Xia Fei said.
Phantom was stunned. "You mean to say that it was warships of the same size that sank this super warship?"
"Yeah." Xia Fei nodded.
Phantom was speechless. To think that such a huge warship was not the only one in the universe. Some unknown empire or organization also controlled a fleet completely made up of such super warships.
Xia Fei paused for a moment before continuing. "It's obvious that the one who built this warship wasn't human. I can infer from the internal passageway of the warship that the completed passageway is around 2.2 meters tall. I believe that the owner of this warship was a group of relatively short AI lifeforms, which is why they built the passageway so low."
Humans were generally around 1.8 meters tall, and the taller ones could even reach 2.5 meters. Setting the passageway at 2.2 meters tall was not suitable for all humans to pass through, so it was obvious that the one who built this warship was not human.
Phantom pursed his lips and sighed. "If an organization with such a super warship were to attack the Pan-Human Alliance one day, that'll be dangerous."
It was obvious that the weaponry and defense of this warship were far stronger than the current top-tier warships of the Pan-Human Alliance, the supercarriers. The Pan-Human Alliance did not have the strength to contend with a fleet with such combat power.
The core of the supergravity zone was only a few warps away from the Death Trio Star Region. If this super warship continued to venture deeper into the Alliance's territory, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Xia Fei suddenly laughed. "The two areas that Uncle Porter has marked out sure are interesting. The first area has many boulders, and these boulders form a language that humans can't decipher. The second area has a warship that far surpasses human technology, and it was even destroyed by an even stronger fleet. I'm actually looking forward to the third area; I wonder what's in store there."
Phantom rolled his eyes at Xia Fei. "I only hope that the third area is safe and that none of these confusing things will appear."
Xia Fei disagreed. "These unimaginable things have always existed, and it's a good thing that we've discovered them. At least we now know that there are such giants in the universe."
After setting the coordinates, Xia Fei set off toward the third destination of his search. No matter what, finding Old Porter was his main objective this time.
The places that Old Porters had marked out were so miraculous that it could not have been done randomly. It was very likely that he already knew about them, and if Xia Fei wanted to know the truth, he would first have to find him.
The Tomahawk set off once more, this time to the last purple region on Old Porters star map. The first two places had made astonishing discoveries, but who knew what kind of wonders this last location would have?
This location was rather far away, and the Tomahawk needed six warps to reach it.
Xia Fei sat in the commander's seat, his mind constantly thinking about that huge warship. His Tomahawk looked so tiny in front of it, and it was a shocking memory that he would not forget so easily.
What was puzzling was that this supergravity zone was definitely not suitable for building warships. Just the strong gravitational pull alone was enough to make even an ability user like Xia Fei unable to survive for too long. As for normal people or those with low abilities, they would not even be able to survive for a quarter of an hour. Could it be that this region had never existed before?
Xia Fei brought up the star map once more. The position of the supergravity zone could be said to be ingenious. It was surrounded by empty space without any reference, and this supergravity zone was like a bridge, connecting the Death Trio Star Region to the distant stars.
Just as Xia Fei was deep in thought, Harriss voice suddenly came from the communicator. Xia Fei, you best come over and take a look. The preliminary results of the insectoid carcass are out.
Xia Fei got up and walked into Harriss room. Being able to produce a report so quickly despite the lack of equipment was a testament to Harriss work.
Did you find anything special? Xia Fei asked.
Harriss room was filled with all sorts of small devices. These were all experimental equipment that he had pieced together during his decades of wandering the stars. Though they looked a little ugly, they were small and easy to carry around, making them passable as temporary experimental tools.
Yes, Ive found something similar to the zero-degree meson on its carcass. After preliminary tests, the similarity is over ninety percent, Harris said in a deep voice.
Oh. Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows slightly. The insectoid has zero-degree meson in its brain, too?
Harriss nodded and handed over a transparent piece of glass to Xia Fei. There was a very small piece of brain tissue on it. The zero-degree meson sealed off a portion of the insectoid's brain, but the seal isn't complete. Thirteen percent of the brain is still exposed. Based on what you've described, I can deduce that it's an insectoid ability user.
An ability user! Xia Fei was stunned. He had deduced from Harriss test report a long time ago that the insectoids might have special abilities, but he did not expect to receive confirmation so soon.
Are you sure? Xia Fei asked.
Harriss expression was solemn. It's been proven a long time ago that a portion of the insectoid's brain is sealed off, but there has never been any news of insectoids possessing special abilities, so we have no idea what's hidden in that part of the brain.
Based on your experience and the comparison of brain cell activity, I believe that the sealed part of the brain is very likely to be part of the insectoid's special ability, and its special ability is the same as yours: speed, Harriss said.
An insectoid ability user, Xia Fei muttered to himself. Xia Fei muttered to himself, "If the insectoids have ability users, does that mean that all sentient races in the universe have ability users as well? It's just that for some unknown reason, this ability has gradually disappeared?"
Harriss took off his glove and put the insectoid carcass into his spatial ring, excitedly saying, So you've read it that carefully?
Xia Fei nodded. Youre written very deeply, so I read it carefully.
It was always good to be acknowledged by others, so Harriss laughed. I've mentioned this theory to the old pedants in the Academy of Sciences a long time ago, but they stubbornly believe that special abilities are unique to humans. I really want to throw this carcass in their faces right now and loudly tell them, 'Youre wrong! All intelligent lifeforms in the universe have special abilities! '
