Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1267 - 1234: Eliminating Hidden Threats

The spore sensitivity of the "Flying Ship Black Vine" to specific bands of ultraviolet light means that existing ultraviolet disinfection lamps can exterminate it.

The human society of Blue Star has a sufficient number of ultraviolet sterilization equipment. As long as these spores do not hide in any nook and cranny, they can avoid spreading with these devices.

At least for now, there is a bit of a clue on how to deal with the single troop type of the "Sagali" civilization.

The advantages of a single troop type are obvious: it's easy to mass-produce, the logistical burden is small, and there's no need to care about tactics. As long as they swarm forward, if there's no preparation, they can easily be wiped out in one sweep.

But the disadvantages are equally prominent. Once a weakness is exposed and targeted, no matter how many come, they are just fodder.

However, it's still far from time to relax because ultraviolet suppression only applies to spores and seedlings. If the "Flying Ship Black Vine" can grow, this approach might not be very useful. Mature vines might not fear ultraviolet exposure and might require paraquat or glyphosate instead. But chemical agents heavily damage the surrounding environment, harming enemies by a thousand while losing twelve hundred oneself... that's not how warfare should be conducted.

"We still need to come up with a solution! 'Adam,' advance the 'No.2 Command Ship' 400 kilometers forward."

Chen Fei couldn't just wait for the progress of the new project at the "Life Tree" institute (research on "Flying Ship Black Vine" and "Pod Flying Ship").

The "Sagali" civilization has already sounded the horn of attack, and there's not much time left for Blue Star.

On the same bridge, Louis Landon asked, "Advancing again, wouldn't it be too dangerous!"

There are three defensive lines at the front, but the most important one is where Chen Fei and others are on the "No.2 Command Ship". As long as this kilometer-long ship stays intact, the defensive line can be rebuilt anytime. If this ship fails, the defense from outside Blue Star's atmosphere to the space rift will no longer exist.

Chen Fei shook his head and said, "No, as long as I am on the ship, it won't be very dangerous. If I leave, the 'No.2 Command Ship' must retreat to the original distance."

He couldn't let the number of "Pod Flying Ship" wreckages in front of the first defensive line keep increasing. He had to find a way to clear it away.

Even if the light from the Constant Star Sun successfully suppresses a considerable number of spore germinations, with so much flesh piling up together, a quantitative change will eventually lead to a qualitative change. Ultraviolet light can't penetrate internally, and these remains of flesh will inevitably be overshadowed by each other, sooner or later becoming the incubator for the growth of the "Flying Ship Black Vine".

A new "Flying Ship Black Vine" will bear fruits nurturing "Pod Flying Ships", which means that the battlefield in front of the space rift will become a stepped forward base. If they gain a foothold, that's a legitimate strategic approach. No matter your plots and schemes, they can't resist such a steady push forward. The "Sagalis" are forcing Blue Star people to compete with raw strength, which the foundations of Blue Star Civilization simply can't match.

"If anything unexpected happens, don't underestimate it at all."

Lord Landon shifted his gaze to the S-Class Space Ability User guarding by Chen Fei, who gave him an OK gesture, ready to leave at any sign of trouble, packing up people and the ship for a teleport to safety, foolproof.

The kilometer-long ship made a slight movement and reached about 600 kilometers directly in front of the space rift a few minutes later, 300 kilometers away from the fifth Airship Battle Group of the third defensive line arrayed ahead.

Adam: Reached Pythagorean calculation point, negative value 60 kilometers.

Adam: Marked "Isolation" window position.

After covering the space rift with the Spatial Ability Skill "Isolation," a specifically reserved circular entrance was set with a circular frame, blinking indicator lights. The blend of ability skills with technology, or their integration with magic and alchemy, has become desensitized to practicality and is common in Blue Star and Cangqiong Star, no one bothers to distinguish between them, as such sectarianism bears no meaning.

"Great, if my Pythagorean theorem's calculation isn't wrong, this should be the most suitable position."

Chen Fei's AR visual effect-assistance interface marked out his position relative to the space rift with a virtual triangular line, the bow of the kilometer-long ship pointing precisely at the central position of the space rift, the slowly rotating purple-blue vortex center.

Like a tsunami, spiritual power suddenly swarmed out, spanned the vast void, and rushed towards the space rift ahead.

The source of this spiritual power comes from the "Life Tree" in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space. This shared spiritual power cannot form unique skills or spells like a Psychic Ability User but can only be used in the most rudimentary and technique-free applications. Otherwise, Chen Fei would be certified as a Psychic Ability User.

These spiritual powers poured through a specially left "Isolation" small opening by Heseman Brown, directly into the still-fighting first defensive line battlefield, causing many "Pod Flying Ship" wrecks to vanish swiftly.

At the same time, overhead in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space under the "Life Tree", those wrecks were crackling and falling down, all disappearing into the tree canopy.

Within the scope of the "Life Tree" domain, it can be called an absolutely controlled domain. The spores attached to the "Pod Flying Ship" tissue organs are completely suppressed, having no chance to sprout. Even a fully grown "Flying Ship Black Vine" would be forced to be devoured or wither automatically by the "Life Tree" and surrounding biota.

Using biotechnology to suppress biotechnology, the "Sagali" civilization's biology finds it difficult to gain an advantage in the face of the "Life Tree". The little gift "Seed Nest" McKenny gave to Chen Fei during his life could be regarded as a trump card against the "Sagali" civilization.

It's a pity the technological path of Blue Star Civilization doesn't fit with the "Life Tree", otherwise with such a strong ally, the threat of the "Sagali" civilization wouldn't be much to worry about. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The spatial rift spans 1479.552 kilometers wide, with the kilometer-long "No.2 Command Ship" about 600 kilometers from the exact center of the spatial rift. From the center to one side forms a right-angle triangle, and Pythagorean calculation shows the distance from the "No.2 Command Ship" to the edge of the spatial rift's end is about 960 kilometers, just within the 1000-kilometer radius of Chen Fei's spiritual power coverage, perfectly encompassing the entire spatial rift, even if adjusted for passing through the window behind the first defense line, the actual distance would be less, not more.

Not only the wreckage of "Pod Flying Ships" burst by the firepower of the first defensive line, but even the newly emerged, still intact "Pod Flying Ships" were not spared, suffering the same fate, becoming food for the "Life Tree".

Forcibly being dragged into the Life Space by Chen Fei's spiritual power also means these "Pod Flying Ships" lack souls. Otherwise, any bit of resistance consciousness wouldn't allow them to disappear into thin air so easily and unremarkably.

On the flip side, if Chen Fei were truly a Psychic Ability User, irrespective of resistance consciousness, as long as its spiritual power isn't stronger than his, it would still be dropped into the Life Space. In front of the "Life Tree", all beings are equal, and even a Divine Breed might not come out favorably.

The surging tide of spiritual power swept through, quickly clearing up the area in front of the spatial rift so that, in the short term, no more wreckage will pile up to brew a major "Flying Ship Black Vine" crisis.

After clearing the first defense line, the massive spiritual power quickly retracted, coming as fast, but returning even faster.

Chen Fei refocused his attention to within Blue Star's atmosphere, where three abnormal regions could also be addressed similarly.
