The chain reaction caused by the plasma explosives was like nine giant axes, whistling as they blasted the nine huge Starships, arranged in a circular sphere, from the inside out! A dazzling, pure white light burst forth, as if from a cleaved abyss of darkness.
The nine Starships became increasingly white-hot, like nine blazing suns blooming in the Asteroid Belt.
The light illuminated the nearby Asteroid Belt, making it seem like daytime had arrived.
Everything, near and far, could be seen clearly.
If one weren't wearing specially made Mecha goggles, even a high-level Gene Evolver would be permanently blinded by this sight! The light grew brighter and brighter, the white light intensified.
Just as this part of the Asteroid Belt seemed about to be pushed out of the dark universe by the pure white light, the nine sun-like Starships turned into stardust before everyone's eyes.
Like special effects in a movie, the nine Starships were vaporized inch by inch from the middle, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Fortunately, she had added ten times the amount to the "perfect" explosive yield that Seven Lù had suggested…
Otherwise, how could she have seen such a truly "perfect effect"?
It was indeed too perfect! It perfectly cured her Fear of Insufficient Firepower!
The nine Starships were purely dismantled into stardust from the inside out by the plasma explosives.
All the energy was used to analyze the entire Starship, so the surrounding areas were not affected at all!
At this time, the outermost edge of the encirclement formed by the Star Pirates' ten Starships had ceased to exist.
Only the last Starship, the eighteenth Starship with the victims, remained floating alone in Space.
Xia Chujian didn't pay attention to it, but turned her gaze to the remaining eight Starships.
The commotion from the explosion here was so great, the extraordinary blue-purple electric light and the blinding pure white light alone were the best signal flares.
The students and Instructors at the Flying Base, who had been surrounded in the middle, were also dumbfounded.
How many Space Ion Beam Cannons did she bring?!
They all thought that Xia Chujian had brought at least a fleet of dozens of Starry Sky Cruisers to rescue them…
They never imagined that Xia Chujian only had one Starry Sky Cruiser, and she hadn't even used her own Space Ion Beam Cannon! "Hahahaha! My Sister Xia is too awesome! I'm completely impressed! Everyone! Hurry up and kowtow! I'm following Sister Xia for life! Sister Xia, Sister Xia! I am Chen Yansheng, a lackey under your command! I'll write a transfer application when I get back! I want to go to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet!"
"Ahhh! Me too! Me too! Sister Xia, take me in! Chen Yansheng is a left-wing dog! I'm Tang Lin, I'm a right-wing dog under your command!"
"Our Sister Xia's lackeys will become organized sooner or later!"
This person was even more exaggerated than Chen Yansheng, causing the corners of Xia Chujian's mouth to twitch involuntarily.
Even Seven Lù's childish voice trembled a little: "...M-Master, this explosive yield, isn't it fifty pounds of High-Energy Plasma Explosives per Starship?!"
Xia Chujian waved her arm and said with a grin, "Of course not! How could fifty pounds be enough?! Each of these nine Starships had at least five hundred and fifty pounds on board, to ensure that these Star Pirates die beyond death!"
Seven Lù seemed speechless for a long while before whispering, "But in that case, the wealth hidden in those Starships has also been vaporized…"
"Thirty years of reserves…"
Clearly, the "perfect" that Seven Lù was talking about was different from the perfect that Xia Chujian understood.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
A burst of angina.
Feeling the sound of her heart breaking.
How much wealth had she wiped out in one go!
Xia Chujian wailed in her heart.
But she remained calm on the surface, took a deep breath, and said, "It doesn't matter! They were too big, who knows if there might be something bad inside! It's better that they're dead!"
But her mood had changed, and she was no longer in the mood to listen to these people flattering her.
At this time, another two minutes had passed, and Team 1 had used up two Energy Blocks for the Punishment Electromagnetic Cannon. Seven Lù suddenly said to Xia Chujian, "Master, please have Group A of Team 1 withdraw. The Space Ion Beam Cannons on those three Starships are about to self-destruct…"
Xia Chujian: "…"
"Isn't that a bit much? The Punishment 0937 Electromagnetic Cannon is powerful, but it shouldn't be able to make Space-Based Weapon self-destruct, right?" Xia Chujian asked in confusion.
Seven Lù's childish voice carried a hint of smugness: "Master, Seven Lù's little program has done a great job…"
As soon as Seven Lù's smug little voice rang out, Xia Chujian immediately thought of the "loop" material she had asked Seven Lù to add earlier.
Her heart surged with excitement, but she remained calm and composed as she announced, "Team 1 Leader Sun Jiahao, immediately evacuate all team members from Starships One through Three."
"Remember to drop all the High-Energy Plasma Explosives, preferably near those Space Ion Beam Cannons."
Upon receiving Xia Chujian's order, Sun Jiahao immediately dropped the explosive packs and led the three teams of Team 1A to quickly evacuate Starships One through Three.
Their Mecha had just flown into the high altitude when the six Space Ion Beam Cannons on the Star Pirates' three Starships suddenly emitted six dazzling red beams, piercing through the darkness of the Asteroid Belt! These six beams were straight and powerful, like six giant pillars of light supporting the entire universe, or like six plant roots, because at their tips, the thick pillars of light suddenly split into wisps of red threads.
Like Other Shore Flowers blooming in the endless starry sky, blooming to the extreme, the fiery red light threads twisted enchantingly, enveloping the three Starships in reverse.
These light threads looked like delicate stamens, yet also seemed like burning flames, leaping and dancing on the hulls of the three Starships.
As the beams split and the light threads spread, an immeasurable magnetic field fluctuation began to spread in all directions.
Unlike the nine Starships that were purely blown up by plasma explosives, the six Space Ion Beam Cannons on these three Starships had accumulated enormous energy. However, because a "loop" system was added to the control program, it could not fire after accumulating full energy, and could only repeatedly accumulate more and more energy! When it reached the critical point that the Space Ion Beam Cannon could not withstand, since it could not be fired outwards, it could only explode inwards! This was the power of these six Space Ion Beam Cannons! At the same time, there was the added effect of the two thousand five hundred pounds of High-Energy Plasma Explosives dropped by the fifty Starry Sky Marines from the three Starships combined! The explosion spread inside the Starships, and waves of residual energy diffused inside the metal. It was like an energy storm in a metal structure, squeezing all objects inside the Starships to the extreme.
The keel structure of the Starships could no longer support it and instantly shattered into pieces.
Even the internal metal structure of the Starships began to undergo physical changes.
Before long, the metal materials of the Starships, under the internal bombardment of this violent energy, were no longer deformed, but gradually softened, turning into molten metal!
The three Starships, which looked as vast as small towns suspended in the air, turned into three globs of sticky liquid before everyone's eyes. Then the liquid quickly cooled, solidified, and formed three strangely shaped black iron stone mountains.
Just like those incomplete Small Asteroid bodies in the Asteroid Belt, it was obvious that the interiors of these three Starships had been melted by the high energy and high heat caused by the self-destruction of the Space Ion Beam Cannons into an irregular object of extremely large mass.
It seemed to have become the stellar core before the birth of a new star, possessing a certain gravitational pull.
Thus, a strange scene formed before everyone's eyes.
The outer shells of the three Starships had long been shattered into pieces, but they did not fly away in all directions. Instead, they rotated at high speed around the dark core in the center of the Starships.
Some of the fragments contained too many metal impurities and could not withstand such high-speed rotation. They were burned out by the powerful energy and scattered in all directions, like a meteor shower falling on the edge of the universe.
The energy of the Space Ion Beam Cannon's implosion was still being released rapidly, like a violent dragon that could not find a way out.
And the irregular object melted inside the Starships was also becoming increasingly unstable under the drive of energy.
In the end, the irregular object solidified inside the Starships also began to twist and deform, accompanied by bursts of red light. The implosion of the Space Ion Beam Cannon finally reached its limit.
In the midst of the huge energy shock, the three solidified cores exploded with a bang, like fireworks in Space.
But soon, silence descended again. The scenes of self-destruction just now were like a flower blooming to the extreme and then withering immediately, beautiful but with deadly harm.
The huge roar shook the entire Asteroid Belt, and even the newborn Wormhole in the distance began to experience intense energy fluctuations.
All these changes were as intense as a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, earth-shattering, but the speed was very fast, so fast that people's eyes could hardly accommodate so much information.
It was as if, in an instant, they saw the vicissitudes of life, the evolution of planets, and the explosion of a new star…
The entire Asteroid Belt, from tranquility to clamor, and from clamor to silence.
From beginning to end, it only took eight minutes.
The most powerful three Starships and the most basic nine Starships of the "Bodhi Leaf" Star Pirates organization were thus reduced to nothing.
No matter how many Star Pirates, how much wealth, or how many secrets were on them, they no longer existed.
Now, only six Starships remained in the encirclement.
The Eighteenth Starship, which was modified from a scrapped Cruiser, and the five ships that were modified from eliminated Cruisers.
Xia Chujian did not allow them to attack the Eighteenth Starship, but she was eyeing the five ships that were modified from eliminated Cruisers.
And the Star Pirates on these five ships had been completely mentally broken by the scene just now.
They did not even care about their Magnetic Railguns, a Space-Based Weapon. At this time, they were in a flurry, fully starting up their engines, trying to escape this hellish place at the fastest speed.
The Instructors and students at the Flying Base were all in a state of petrified wood.
No matter who it was, no matter what their position or mentality, at this time, no one reacted to what they should do.
Of course, they could not do anything even if they wanted to, because their airships and Warplanes had been taken over by Xia Chujian's Mechanical Intelligence.
It was like a passerby, watching a grand fireworks festival.
Of course, Xia Chujian would not let the airships and Warplanes at the base be idle.
She still had five Star Pirates' Starships to deal with!
Team 1's B Team was on those five Starships, which were modified from eliminated Cruisers, using the Punishment 0937 Electromagnetic Cannon to attack the Magnetic Railgun for a long time.
However, the Magnetic Railgun here did not have the "loop" program loaded by Seven Lù, and conventional weapons like the Punishment Electromagnetic Cannon had limited damage to the Magnetic Railgun.
After reporting the unsatisfactory results to Team 1 Captain Sun Jiahao, Sun Jiahao discussed with Xia Chujian whether to withdraw them as well.
Xia Chujian didn't blame them, and said, "Withdraw, but remember to leave those High-Energy Plasma Explosives on those ships."
Ten people per ship could plant five hundred pounds of High-Energy Plasma Explosives.
It was just a pity that these explosives were not planted in the power system, so the blast effect was limited. Other weapons had to cooperate with the attack to achieve the desired effect.
After the explosives were planted, the members of Team 1's B Team also quickly evacuated.
Xia Chujian confirmed that all her team members had evacuated in time before taking the two hundred Starry Sky Marines back to her Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser parked not far away.
With the speed of their Mecha and the current distance, it only took a minute from the evacuation to Xia Chujian sitting in the Captain's cabin.
Xia Chujian asked Sun Jiahao and Li Dali to take the team to the fifth floor to rest, and she stayed alone in the Captain's cabin to talk to Seven Lù.
"Seven Lù, you said you have a way to deal with these five ships?"
