Chapter 590: Darkstar Stone


    As the first cannon of the Super Fortress resounded, the battle between the Red Alert Navy and the Zerg resumed once more.


    This time, the Zerg were even more relentless, displaying a complete disregard for their own lives, willing to go down with the Red Alert Navy if need be.V/\Issi?T  for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce


    Dolphins and Giant Squids fearlessly formed a defensive line, preventing aquatic species from approaching the Warship. Meanwhile, the torpedoes launched by the Warship and submarines dealt significant damage to the Zerg.


    Zoom, zoom!


    Fighter jets on the Aircraft Carrier quickly took off, their bombs replaced with torpedoes, which they dropped directly into the sea. Each explosion sent Zerg bodies flying, creating tumultuous waves on the surface.


    The vicinity of the Super Fortress was swarming with various types of Zerg, relentlessly gnawing at the energy shield surrounding it. Unfortunately for them, they were destined to be unable to breach the shield.


    The cannons on the Super Fortress roared to life, obliterating all the Zerg around it, turning the area into a no-fly zone.


    "There are too many Zerg. It might be troublesome to try to get underwater," Ju Ling furrowed her brow slightly.


    Of course, it was only a minor inconvenience. These Zerg were too weak to pose any real threat to her.


    Ju Ling devised a plan and blasted open a direct path to the seabed, eliminating the need for a direct confrontation with the Zerg.


    "Super Fortress, activate the Breath of God," Ju Ling commanded. Soon, the Super Fortress ascended into the sky, and a powerful energy began to converge at a single point, forming a massive beam of light that pierced through the ocean.


    In an instant, the beam disappeared, leaving behind an unfathomable chasm in the middle of the ocean.


    Without any hindrance from seawater or Zerg, Ju Ling swiftly descended into the depths of the sea. Here, it was pitch-black, with no sound to be heard, like a realm of the deceased.


    With Ju Ling''s abilities, she could survive even in a vacuum, let alone the ocean floor. She completely disregarded the water pressure and gazed around with sharp eyes.


    There was nothing here. She couldn''t spot the presence of a Zerg Hive. It seemed that the Zerg Hive was not located here, as expected.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Ju Ling halted in her tracks. She felt an unusual energy. After careful searching, she finally discovered a peculiar stone in an inconspicuous spot. The stone was pitch-black and seemed even darker than the surrounding darkness. If it weren''t for Ju Ling''s extraordinary perception, she might not have noticed it.


    "Uh, for now, it''s useless," Yun Ru said bluntly.


    Su Chen''s mouth twitched. Such a valuable item, and it was currently useless? What a pity! Wait a minute!


    "You said, ''for now, it''s useless''? Does that mean it will be useful in the future?"


    Yun Ru raised her thumb. "Commander is truly remarkable. You actually understood the hidden meaning behind my words."


    Su Chen gave Yun Ru a playful slap and said, "Just get to the point, no need for theatrics."


    "Hmph, Commander, you hit me, but there are no five strings of skewered squid or fifty strings of grilled squid, I won''t cooperate!" Yun Ru pouted.


    Smack!


    Su Chen snapped his fingers, and in the next moment, a box appeared in front of Yun Ru. "This is a whole box of 500 strings of grilled squid. Will you spill the beans now?"


    Faced with Commander''s sweet bribe, Yun Ru surrendered decisively.


    "All right, I''ll spill. In the short term, the Darkstar Stone doesn''t benefit Red Alert Base in any way. But once the Base becomes powerful enough to deal with black holes in interstellar travel, the Darkstar Stone will come in handy."


    "Please be more specific."


    Yun Ru rolled her eyes. "I''ve already explained it so simply. With the Darkstar Stone, Base won''t have to worry about encountering black holes during interstellar travel in the future. This thing is born with the ability to suppress black holes, or rather, it can counteract the pull of black holes. Commander can think of this piece of Darkstar Stone as a highly compressed product of a black hole."


    Su Chen looked at the stone in his hand, finding it hard to imagine that such a small piece of stone could be related to a black hole.


    "But wait, if it''s as you say, that a black hole compressed into this stone, shouldn''t it have more properties? Just the mass alone seems beyond what a planet can bear."


    "Commander has a point. As for the specific reasons, I don''t know either. The records from the Qiluo Civilization say the same. Whether this thing is truly a product of a black hole''s self-destruction, no one can prove it," Yun Ru shrugged. (To be continued...)
