C1 Natural Disaster(1)

Nuclear Era, 52 November.

There were only two weeks left before the meteorite landed...

Antathira Planet Defense Army Headquarters

...

In a dimly lit conference room, 25 senators and dozens of space generals sat in a table. Everyone was silent, waiting for the highest executive officer to finish reading the strategic report.

This was the last meeting, and it would decide the life and death of mankind!

At the beginning of the year, everyone thought that it was just an ordinary meteorite or a comet. Its various indicators were all normal. Its diameter was about 5 kilometers, and its physical density was about the same as a normal iron meteorite. Its speed was about one thousandth of the speed of light. Although it was heading straight towards Earth.

"Do you call that thing a meteorite?"

The highest executive officer of Antathira slammed the battle report on the ground.

"Damn it... You told me that it was called a meteorite? A meteorite with a void shield, antimatter cannon, and neutron star armor?"

The main person in charge of the interception said uneasily, "Commander... We were also confused at first, but only when our interception fleet came into contact with it... Only then..."

"Oh, my God..." Some people on the scene had already covered their faces and started crying.

In theory, it was not difficult to intercept a meteorite with a diameter of five kilometers. Please, the targets that the combined space fleet of Antathira had been shooting at were all bigger than this!

Therefore, no one from the five continents paid much attention to the first interception mission. The North Federation only sent an unmanned spaceship with a nuclear bomb weighing 1,500 tons to intercept it. However, when the nuclear bomb collided with the meteorite and exploded, everyone's expression changed.

The explosion of the nuclear bomb did not affect the meteorite at all. In fact, it did not even deviate from its course. In fact, its speed was increasing!

"I know that the nuclear bomb plan failed!" the commander roared. "What happened next? What did you do?"

"Then... the main fleet of space joined the battlefield..."

The failure of the nuclear bomb plan had exceeded everyone's expectations. According to the latest information, the nuclear bomb did not even touch the meteorite. Instead, it was detonated when it was one kilometer away from the meteorite due to a type of force field.

Soon, the first fleet joined the battlefield. These space warships from the Western Empire were all equipped with the 'Soul Engine', which was unique to the Western Empire. They could travel at the speed of light in space. They were equipped with Melting Laser and ARO armor-piercing bullets. They also had a Confusion Field and Lightweight Ion Cannon. In theory, they could easily destroy a planet of the size of the Earth.

However, it was useless. These ridiculous weapons were not even qualified to scratch the meteorite. The hundreds of millions of ARO armor-piercing bullets that fell like raindrops did not even break the meteorite's shield. The counterattack of the meteorite was almost like a miracle to Antathira.

Someone said, "When the meteorite launched its attack on the human fleet, it was as if two suns appeared in the solar system."

"So you only sent a group of scalding army?"

"What scalding army? That's almost all the space forces in the Western Empire. There are nearly 60 Fire Lizard airships, 50 Poison Lizard warships, and 10 Illari Air Fortresses."

The highest commander was silent.

From that moment on, humans realized that they were not facing a meteorite, but a super warship that was slow but had a much higher technological level than humans!

Even so, due to the first impression humans had of him and his appearance, they still habitually called him a "meteorite."

"This is just the space forces of the Western Empire. What about the South Alliance? What about the North Federation? We have five superpowers! Do they not have any strength?"

"This is what I want to say."

The defeat of the Western Empire's space warships had provoked the other four superpowers in the world. Although their space forces were not as strong as the Western Empire's, if they were to combine their forces, they might still have a chance.

For a moment, the sky above the Antathira Planet was brightly lit.

The North Federation had equipped the electromagnetic rail cannon and the interstellar nuclear warship "Mountain".

The South Alliance had the high-energy laser cannon and the "Glider"-class war patrol fleet equipped with the Super Space Distortion Cannon.

In the central headquarters, there was the Ion Fortress Cannon and the Nanomachine Synchronizer of the toothless-winged dragon air warship fleet.

In the Eastern Holy Land, there was the Yamato Soul-class mothership fleet equipped with the AI integrated drone formation and the kinetic cannon.

In the Western Empire, there were only a few remaining space fleets. They formed the first line of defense for humanity. Perhaps... they were humanity's last line of defense.

The total number of warships in this alliance fleet reached an astonishing 300. In addition to the support of two extraterrestrial cities that had been modified into space supply stations, the total number of people participating in the battle reached one million.

They had gathered almost all of the space forces. This was unprecedented. Of course, if the battle failed, then it would be the last battle.

"Then... what did you guys do in the end?" The highest commander's tone was no longer as powerful and majestic as it was at the beginning. His voice was trembling, and he even revealed a hint of fear.

"We started the final battle on Mars with the 'eteor'... but..."

According to the initial arrangement, the remaining fleets of the Western Empire would engage in guerilla warfare, the Northern Federation would be in charge of direct confrontation, the Southern Alliance would use the distortion of space to limit their speed, the Eastern Holy Land would use the kinetic cannons and the drone formation to launch long-range attacks, and the Central Headquarters would use its nanomachine syncer to approach the enemy and destroy its engine or other important facilities.

Humans didn’t expect to destroy the ‘Meteor’ anymore. It was fine as long as it could stop it from moving away from the planet.

However, the ‘Meteor’ didn’t hesitate to erase this little wish.

“So… How did we lose this last battle?” The highest commander was completely frustrated. He sat on the couch and rubbed his temples while asking weakly.

“… It was a miserable battle. Not a single one of us survived…”

The alliance fleet had paid a heavy price to break through the Void Shield and release the nanomachine robots. They eroded the enemy’s armor to a certain degree. However, when the remaining fleet went behind the ‘Meteor’, everyone was in despair.

It didn’t have a jet engine, cannon, or even a cooling hole.

Hmm, forget about the fact that it could destroy the human fleet easily, it was a real ‘Meteor’ just from its speed.
