Although the entire container is black overall, in reality, it's divided into two distinct upper and lower sections.
The upper part is covered with densely packed regular hexagonal grids on its black outer surface, each grid with a diameter of about ten centimeters or so—placed on the entire container, there must be thousands, even tens of thousands of them.
On the lower part, there are also quite a few regular hexagonal grids, but they aren't tightly connected, and these grids are even smaller in size, with a diameter of only about two centimeters.
Other than that, the whole container looks spotlessly clean, with nothing else on it.
Yet, even so, everyone's gaze remains fervent.
This is weaponry from the interstellar era, which for their time, is a genuine "alien weapon"!
"There's still fighting going on in that city, isn't there." Shen Yu looked in the direction of the city, "Live combat is the best demonstration. Notify the soldiers not to cause panic. We'll use an actual engagement for the introduction."
"Understood!"
The others immediately started preparing.
On the front lines, a large group of warriors with blindfolds, equipped only with cameras on their bodies, following detailed instructions relayed through their earpieces, suddenly received orders from higher up.
"Powerful support is about to arrive. All combat units, do not panic. All current operations are temporarily suspended. Maintain safety and follow command."
Suddenly, the front-line command channels were filled with chaotic chatter.
"What kind of powerful support is this? Why would it possibly cause panic?"
"Can you clarify a bit more?"
"Our unit has already successfully trapped four targets. Are you sure we should suspend operations?"
"..."
For lower-ranking commanders still unaware, this sudden and seemingly unfounded order genuinely left them baffled.
Especially since they and the front-line warriors were risking their lives in combat.
They couldn't help but discuss and ask questions.
However, it's not that their superiors didn't want to answer—they simply didn't know the details either.
Shen Yu and the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association's presence had only been made known to them a dozen hours ago. The specifics remained unclear, and the situation itself upended conventional thinking; spreading more before preparations could only lead to rumors and confusion.
Still, in the military, orders are to be obeyed. When no reply came to their questions, all commanding officers stopped discussing and immediately directed front-line warriors to suspend missions and seek safe locations.
Meanwhile, at the military airfield, Shen Yu had already taken action.
He headed directly to the other side of the container, where a seemingly smooth area was, in fact, a screen.
"We've already switched to your nation's language and adapted the interface to your habits. Now proceeding with highest-level authority transfer," Shen Yu swiftly completed Jiang Hui's authorization. "This weapon system's official name is 'Anti-Eye Worm Drone Hive and Core Spoils Recovery System.' The upper section is the hive, equipped with a total of ten thousand Anti-Eye Worm drones and a fully automated maintenance system. The lower section is for core spoils storage, enabling tallying of spoils counts and minimizing energy loss from energy organs..."
Just from the name alone, it's clear this weapon was specifically designed to target Eye Worms.
This realization left the senior commanders deeply shaken.
After all, from submitting Eye Worm samples to designing and manufacturing the massive weapon in front of them, barely eight hours had passed!
The productivity of Interstellar Civilization truly exceeds their current understanding by far.
But for weapon systems, actual combat effectiveness is what matters most!
Jiang Hui didn't hesitate either; the interface was entirely in Chinese, idiot-proof, and even came with an AI smart system.
"Maximum combat radius is a full hundred kilometers? That completely covers the city! Then let's use the city as the combat center and deploy all combat units!" He directly drew a circle on the city area on the map and issued the order.
In the next moment, a trembling sound came from the air.
Everyone clearly saw strange-looking "spheres" continuously flying out from the grid above.
Yes, spheres.
No rotors like the miniature drones of this era.
Yet they could hover steadily in midair.
But before anyone could get a good look at them, sudden explosive sounds filled the air.
Those spheres instantly whistled away in one direction at extreme speed!
And they deliberately spread out, too.
In mere moments, all traces vanished!
The area above the airfield was empty; even the sound disappeared.
As if nothing had happened at all.
"So fast!" someone blurted out, "The acceleration's insane. That seemed like a sonic boom just now!"
Indeed, that was the sonic boom caused by small objects breaking the sound barrier.
They weren't mistaken.
The crux is that acceleration.
If you faced them directly, a human's reaction time wouldn't possibly catch up!
"Eye Worm flight speed can reach up to 170 meters per second," Shen Yu explained again, "and their turning is extremely agile. That's a really tough challenge for you, but for us—who've mastered miniature anti-gravity propulsion—it's nothing. The Anti-Eye Worm drone's top speed reaches 1.8 times the speed of sound, supports rapid direction changes, and uses quantum communication to share battlefield data, swiftly forming a combat map and adapting to complex environments."
1.8 times the speed of sound—from something only the size of a child's fist?
The commanding officers present were awestruck, some unable to find words.
They were deeply knowledgeable about various next-generation weapon systems—and had considered using drones for remote combat—but Eye Worms' speed and agility far outstripped the limits of current miniature drones.
Invisible, impossible to aim at, impossible to hit.
No real combat value whatsoever.
But these drones, just by speed alone, could already chase down Eye Worms for sport!
"What about attack capabilities?" Jiang Hui took a deep breath, fixing his gaze on the screen in front of him.
He could monitor battlefield footage from any Anti-Eye Worm drone at any moment.
"Each drone is equipped with six miniature high-energy particle beam emitters—specifically prepared for highly maneuverable small enemy units." Shen Yu also stared at the screen, his voice somber.
In his world, the Void Spirit Civilization also possessed powerful bioweapon technology.
They had developed all kinds of biological weapons.
Fast-moving small enemy units like Eye Worms were extremely common.
