Let's start by analyzing the sun

"Is this thing crazy?"

"It's totally insane, just charging straight in like that?"

Accompanying the chorus of "crazy" exclamations,

the twelve bright beams of light erupting from the rear of the Wandering Earth abruptly elongated.

The massive sphere's speed increased again, heading directly towards the light sail fleet.

A group of Grand Inspectors all shut their mouths, staring intently at the image.

The main hall fell silent.

Only the image on the screen continued to change.

Thirty seconds later.

The distance between the Wandering Earth and the light sail fleet had shrunk to less than sixty kilometers.

One Grand Inspector whispered, "The light sail fleet is about to attack."

As soon as the words left his mouth,

the image shifted.

The side of each light sail warship visibly lit up.

In the next moment,

massive amounts of light orbs, dragging bright trails of light, rained down upon the Wandering Earth.

It was the light dome cannons firing.

This fleet possessed over six thousand light sail warships, with medium and large warships accounting for more than a third, carrying at least two hundred thousand light dome cannons.

During each volley, only the light dome cannons on one side could fire.

That was one hundred thousand light shuttle projectiles.

Barely a second passed.

The light sail fleet suddenly executed a rapid drift.

Benefiting from their control over gravity, the spindle-shaped hulls displayed incredible flexibility, instantly completing a one hundred and eighty-degree turn, with the other side of the hull facing the giant sphere.

Subsequently,

the hull lit up once more.

The second wave of light shuttle projectiles flew towards the giant sphere like a storm.

Looking out.

In this dark airspace, it was as if two brilliant clouds of light had appeared, rushing towards the Wandering Earth at unimaginable speed.

Grand Inspector Gu stared at this scene, unable to help but exclaim, "Heavens!"

Grand Inspector Zhang's breathing hitched, and he couldn't help but say, "The giant sphere might be in danger."

The light shuttle projectiles fired from the light dome cannons were extremely powerful.

According to the results of actual combat, a single light shuttle projectile was enough to easily kill a Mystic Warrior, and even a Mystic Master expert couldn't withstand many of them.

The giant sphere's size was so large, and the target was too obvious.

And the speed of the light shuttle projectiles was so fast that the giant sphere would have difficulty changing direction to evade in time.

Perhaps seventy to eighty percent of the light shuttle projectiles would hit the Wandering Earth.

Even worse, the giant sphere was constructed from vines and did not have a protective barrier of its own.

Another Grand Inspector made a judgment: "After this round of attacks, the surface of the giant sphere may be severely damaged."

Many Grand Inspectors nodded, expressing agreement with this view.

Grand Inspector Gu's view was more optimistic: "Even if the surface is damaged, it won't endanger the core."

One Grand Inspector echoed: "The giant sphere is a very powerful lifeform, possessing strong restorative abilities, and it will recover in no time."

On the screen.

The light shuttle rain streaked across the starry sky, approaching the giant sphere.

At this moment.

An unexpected scene appeared.

The giant sphere suddenly emitted a faint green glow.

Tens of millions of green light spots flew out from the surface of the giant sphere.

In an instant.

The light shuttle storm arrived.

One by one, the light shuttles exploded violently, releasing extremely dazzling white light.

This starry sky seemed to have turned into daylight.

Such a sight showed just how terrifying the light sail fleet's firepower was.

The light screen image naturally only showed a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen.

The Grand Inspectors either had to close their eyes or squint them into slits to reduce the stimulation of the strong light.

After half a breath.

The white light dissipated significantly.

In the vast starry sky, objects could barely be seen.

Grand Inspector Zhang only glanced at it before being taken aback: "The Wandering Earth seems to be fine!"

He could tell at a glance that the giant sphere's outline was very complete, seemingly completely undamaged.

Grand Inspector Gu looked astonished: "Really?"

As he spoke.

The white light receded a little more.

Some details of the Wandering Earth's surface came into view of the Grand Inspectors.

The giant sphere was unscathed.

The twelve light snakes at the rear were still extremely bright, propelling the giant sphere towards the enemy.

Everyone was shocked.

This scene was completely different from what they had expected.

"What exactly is going on?"

"What means did the giant sphere use to block the enemy's attack?"

These people looked at each other, but no one knew the answer.

Only one Grand Inspector offered a guess: "It must be related to the green light spots from before."

Two seconds later.

The light sail fleet adjusted its angle and launched a second wave of attacks.

The dazzling white light formed by the explosion of the light shuttle projectiles once again submerged the light screen image.

However.

Several Grand Inspectors used secret techniques to reduce the negative effects of the white light, and finally discovered a clue.

A glint of black flashed in Grand Inspector Gu's eyes, and he blurted out: "I see it clearly!"

He excitedly said: "The light spots shot from the giant sphere's surface are connected to each other by light threads, forming a super-giant network, blocking..."

This guy originally wanted to say "blocked the light shuttle projectiles' attack."

But he changed his mind, as the light thread network seemed quite fragile and unlikely to block the powerful light shuttle projectiles.

Grand Inspector Gu immediately changed his words: "No, the light thread network probably uses some method to detonate the power contained in the light shuttle projectiles in advance, thereby blocking the attack from the outside."

Another Grand Inspector also caught a glimpse of something and echoed: "That's right! I also saw the light thread network!"

The other Grand Inspectors listened in a daze, their expressions all undergoing subtle changes.

Grand Inspector Zhang sighed: "I initially thought the Wandering Earth was just a simple big ball, but now it seems this thing is much more powerful than I imagined."

*

In the starry sky.

When the extremely dazzling white light illuminated the battlefield area.

In a core cabin of the giant sphere.

A phantom image hovered in mid-air, clearly displaying the situation on the battlefield.

Cheng Han watched the white light recede, revealing a smile: "The effect of the 'active defense barrier' is much better than I expected."

His tone carried a hint of pride: "By consuming less power, we can detonate the light shuttle projectiles in advance, without having to expend great power to construct a protective shield.

"This idea of achieving great results with minimal effort is the core principle of 'active defense,' and the Wandering Earth's defense experiment has proven my point."

After the last great battle, he had studied the light shuttle projectiles in detail, completely understanding their secrets and deducing corresponding detonation methods.

Previously, Qian Qingqing had looked worried, but now, witnessing the powerful protective effect of the light thread network, she finally felt relieved.

She exhaled a long-held breath, her face full of admiration as she said: "You are a true genius!"

This girl had seen many things recently and could naturally judge that the active defense barrier was a revolutionary new theory.

Cheng Han stared at the light sail fleet and smiled: "The birdmen should have noticed that the Wandering Earth's weakness is the planetary engines.

"As long as these big things are destroyed, the giant sphere will definitely lose power.

"They will definitely split off a portion of the fleet, approach to a relatively close position, and try to attack the planetary engines."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The image immediately changed.

Two smaller fleets, each with about two hundred ships, suddenly broke away from the massive main fleet, flanking from different directions.

This scene perfectly matched Cheng Han's prediction.

Qian Qingqing looked at the phantom image, then at Cheng Han, and muttered: "I have a feeling that you are the commander of the light sail fleet."

Cheng Han chuckled: "I just anticipated the enemy's anticipation!"

He changed the subject: "Now, let's give the birdmen a surprise."
