#906 - Chapter 906 Magnetic Shielding Device
At this moment, the Hua Nation's outpost deployed in the far north of North Boreal also observed this anomaly.
With the technical support of Dongfang Chen Er and the resource support of the Asian Union, Hua Nation's current technological level is now on a different level.
They have used the technology developed by Nata to innovatively develop many new types of equipment.
After discovering the salt crystal forest in the Arctic, they immediately dispatched 100 heavy mechs to investigate.
However, like Nata's previous situation, these 100 heavy mechs were instantly frozen as soon as they arrived in the Arctic Circle.
This result shocked Yan Zhengping.
In order to explore the weaknesses of this salt crystal forest, he ordered the deployment of antimatter bombs to the Arctic Circle.
Although antimatter bombs also use the energy generated by annihilation reactions to destroy targets,
the difference from ion cannons is that antimatter bombs contain equal amounts of matter and antimatter particles.
When activated, they can directly undergo annihilation reactions, without requiring the target to participate in the reaction.
It is this seemingly redundant design that has unexpectedly achieved the desired attack effect.
After the warship transported the antimatter bomb to the sky above the Arctic, it was immediately dropped.
The antimatter bomb exploded 300 meters above the ground.
Powerful energy was released, forming an instantaneous high temperature of about 3000 degrees within a 3-kilometer radius of the explosion's core area.
Strong shockwaves spread in all directions, causing secondary damage to the surrounding 30-kilometer radius.
This attack resulted in the complete destruction of the salt crystal forest within a five-kilometer radius of the Arctic core area.
Other areas were also damaged to varying degrees.
Nata also saw this scene through the subspace sentry tower.
This shows that the salt crystal forest is still afraid of high temperatures.
This also means that if they want to expand outward, they must first lower the temperature to a suitable level.
After Nata's monitoring, it was discovered that the threshold temperature for the generation of salt crystal trees is -112 degrees Celsius.
Then, a conclusion can be drawn:
Salt crystal trees may become inactive at temperatures exceeding -112 degrees Celsius.
After reaching this conclusion, Nata suddenly thought of a solution.
He could deploy a magnetic shielding device over the Arctic, thereby creating a hollow area without a magnetic field.
In this way, the strong storms released by the sun could reach the Arctic through this area.
As a result, the Arctic temperature would inevitably continue to rise.
Then, this salt crystal forest would collapse without a fight.
After thinking of a solution, Nata issued a task to the Asian Union, requiring them to find a way to infiltrate the North Boreal region and collect salt crystal samples.
To avoid them taking any more detours, Nata also shared the analyzed data with them.
On the other side, he began to manufacture magnetic field shielding devices through the Lop Nur base.
After learning that the Asian Union had also joined the battle, Yan Zhengping immediately shared the sentry tower data from the North Boreal region.
After the Asian Union obtained the data shared by Nata and Hua Nation, they immediately formulated an investigation plan.
Since salt crystals become inactive at temperatures exceeding -110 degrees Celsius, traditional energy shields can provide good protection.
Therefore, they sent 100 space mechs, carrying special containers for preserving ultra-low temperature samples, to North Boreal.
These 100 mechs will be individually controlled by 100 staff members, each trying to approach the polar direction.
They are all equipped with four-dimensional light swords similar to those used by the Heavenly Soldiers.
This type of sword can easily cut any three-dimensional material, making it easy for them to collect crystals.
After these 100 mechs set off, they were quickly attacked by the salt crystal forest.
However, practice has proven that traditional energy shields can indeed resist the attacks of salt crystal needles.
It is not easy for them to freeze the mechs, after all, the essence of the energy shield is the high-speed movement of molecules.
Molecular motion can be understood as a type of thermodynamic motion.
Therefore, the energy shield can also be understood as an ultra-high temperature plasma barrier that emits very little infrared radiation outward.
The salt crystals will be instantly shattered upon encountering the barrier, naturally making it impossible to freeze it.
As long as the space mechs are not attacked by a large number of needles at the same time, they can be safe and sound.
These 100 mechs each showed their special abilities and began to look for opportunities to collect salt crystal samples.
At the same time, in the polar center, the area destroyed by the antimatter bomb was rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
That area was soon covered by newly grown salt crystal trees.
It will take Nata about 12 hours to manufacture the magnetic field shielding device.
During this time, in order to slow down the expansion speed of the salt crystal forest, Nata asked the Asian Union to notify Hua Nation to release some more antimatter bombs to create some trouble for them.
Hua Nation, of course, would not refuse.
40 minutes later, another 3 antimatter bombs exploded in the Arctic sky.
The expansion of the salt crystal forest was once again suppressed.
