#860 - Chapter 860 Square Pillar
"Commander, a large number of unidentified flying objects are approaching from the other side of the wormhole!" an operator shouted.
A video feed was immediately sent back after a communication ship went through, showing a massive, chaotic swarm of various bizarre-shaped flying objects.
These flying objects varied in size and were disorganized.
Their numbers were so great that they were probably in the tens of billions.
They spanned a vast distance, like an endless asteroid belt.
In comparison, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers guarding the entrance looked far too weak.
"Quick! Immediately deploy the Quad Pillars on the other side of the wormhole!" Old Qin exclaimed.
The so-called Quad Pillar is a type of defensive equipment that can be infinitely expanded.
Quad doesn't refer to four pillars, but to all directions.
The Quad Pillar's shape is very similar to a jade cong, but longer, and engraved with four-dimensional space runes.
Inside, it contains a massive nuclear fusion battery that can provide sustained energy output.
At least four Quad Pillars form a group, which can be arranged into a square plane.
Once activated, this plane forms a spatial rift.
Anything that tries to pass through this plane will inevitably be torn into dust by the spatial rift.
It's very similar to the usage of the Great Hammer; the connecting distance between two Quad Pillars is also limited, with a maximum of 1 kilometer.
In other words, the maximum area that four Quad Pillars can enclose is a square with sides of 1 kilometer.
To enclose a larger area, more Quad Pillars are needed.
Old Qin's idea was to use Quad Pillars to completely seal off the entire entrance on the other side of the wormhole.
That way, nothing could possibly squeeze through the wormhole.
However, this defense is not impenetrable.
Because the Quad Pillar itself does not have a spatial shield, but forms a spatial rune array on the side facing the enemy.
In this way, the defense is not comprehensive, and attacks from some angles cannot be defended against.
The reason why Quad Pillars cannot use spatial shields is simple: because Quad Pillars need to be associated with the outside world.
And a spatial shield would block this association.
But this is already very powerful.
As long as the Quad Pillars themselves are not destroyed, the defensive surface formed by them cannot be broken through.
Upon receiving the order, the staff immediately arranged transport ships to carry a large number of Quad Pillars into the air.
The area of the wormhole is very large, with a diameter conservatively estimated to be over 500 kilometers.
How many Quad Pillars would it take to seal off such a large area?
The answer is at least 200,000.
Old Qin had a total of about 1 million Quad Pillars in stock, which was more than enough to seal off the wormhole.
It's just that Quad Pillars are consumables, and once damaged, they must be replaced immediately. Therefore, the longer the battle lasts and the more intense the enemy's offensive, the more Quad Pillars are needed.
"Send another 2 million heavenly soldiers over there to buy time for deploying the Quad Pillars," Old Qin added.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, 2 million heavenly soldiers immediately passed through the wormhole.
"How much Chaos Bomb is loaded?" Old Qin asked.
"One-tenth," the operator reported.
"Don't wait, send the 20 frigates that have finished loading first. If conditions permit, deploy them immediately," Old Qin ordered.
"Yes!"
From the images returned by the communication ship, the other side of the wormhole was being driven by three ultra-large triangular devices simultaneously.
These three triangular devices pointed to the wormhole from three different angles, with the driving points located exactly at the trisection points of the wormhole.
These three triangular devices were identical in shape, about 200 kilometers high and about 100 kilometers wide at the base.
The overall shape was a pentahedron with a square base, similar to an elongated pyramid.
Their surfaces seemed smooth, but upon closer inspection, their microstructures were constantly changing.
Blue light occasionally overflowed, suggesting a core with extremely high energy.
This pyramid-like pentahedron was not as tall as the structures built by the Tasmanian insects, and it was estimated that a maximum of five Chaos Bombs would be enough to destroy it.
But it's hard to say, after all, this is in space. Without the assistance of atmospheric pressure, the destructive power of Chaos Bombs is also very limited.
These 20 frigates carried a total of 40 Chaos Bombs.
Old Qin planned to concentrate these Chaos Bombs on one of the pyramids, striving for a successful strike.
After 30 minutes of flight, these 20 frigates finally reached the other side of the wormhole.
At this time, the enemy was very close, and the battle could break out at any time.
"Release!" Old Qin issued the deployment order.
The 20 frigates simultaneously launched 40 Chaos Bombs towards the pyramid-shaped structure in the upper left of the wormhole.
"Chew chew chew ~"
The cone-shaped missiles carrying the Chaos Bombs directly penetrated the building's outer shell and stuck inside.
Old Qin stared at the screen with wide eyes.
Whether it has an offensive effect depends on this moment.
One second, two seconds, five seconds...
