The Supreme of Military Control heard this, and coldly glanced at the Supreme of the Anomalous Management Division. To his ears, it was simply sarcastic!
"Don’t rejoice too early; your responsibility exceeds those of that group!"
"What am I rejoicing about?" The Supreme of the Anomalous Management Division was stunned. "I was merely offering a rational suggestion. Was I wrong?"
The female Supreme stared at the impact on the ruling area, her face fluctuating between gloom and despair, clearly worried. Upon hearing this, she sighed lightly.
"With such massive energy fluctuations, none of us can detect the opponent’s micro operations. Do you think the military can?"
As soon as her voice dropped, the military technician responded.
"The information has already been relayed, but... it is difficult to observe."
The Supreme of the Anomalous Management Division raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Even with the military’s equipment, they can’t observe the relevant information?"
The Military Supreme snorted heavily, eyes glaring wide, "Say one more word, and see if I won’t kill you?"
"That really is..." The Supreme of the Anomalous Management Division heard this and muttered irritably.
Originally, he wanted to explain, saying we also have advanced equipment to see if we can help.
But he thought better of it; if he dared to say that, the other side would misunderstand even more.
With less than a minute in total remaining, can the advanced equipment of the Anomalous Management Division still make it?
He turned his head and, as expected, the Supreme of the Military Intelligence Department was staring at him coldly.
If he dared to talk nonsense again, these two would surely take action—soldiers generally don’t have good tempers.
They probably wouldn’t have the guts to kill him, but being wounded in such a situation, the Anomalous Management Division wouldn’t intervene.
The female Supreme also noticed the extremely tense atmosphere in the room, so she spoke to change the topic.
"Aren’t you wary that they might escape amidst the chaos?"
In her view, this large meteorite landing heavily has a ninety-nine percent likelihood.
Although kinetic energy has decreased significantly, it’s still an unviewable disaster.
Next, most likely, the entire planet won’t be suitable for normal human habitation.
Then, wouldn’t it be very natural for someone to escape amidst the chaos?
Even the reasons for escape are readily available—it’s no longer possible to live here!
The Military Supreme glared at her viciously, "The battle isn’t over yet... A large number of main warships have already started preparations to ascend!"
The purpose of the main warships ascending is to intercept anyone trying to slip away.
Qingyuan Star might become exceptionally bleak, but the military is also fierce: commit such a crime and try to escape? Don’t even think about it!
Anyway, even if the meteorite can’t be crushed, looking at the current development trend, Qingyuan Star won’t degenerate into an uninhabited star.
The governance difficulty will be slightly lower than imagined; a decade will basically suffice.
The key is that a large number of nobles and fiefdoms are gathered here and cannot be easily abandoned.
Otherwise, where would we find another suitable planet to have the nobles congregate and partition?
The Imperial realm is indeed vast, but finding an uninhabited habitable star is actually not easy.
Moreover, this habitable star must be located in the Inner Circle, and the living conditions cannot be too poor.
Otherwise, if the nobles really began to gather and stir things up, even the Imperial would find it troublesome!
At this moment, many people’s wrists vibrated; Qingyuan Star’s Central Government was issuing a formal announcement.
From now on, Qingyuan Star temporarily enters military control status!
Any starship on the planet cannot ascend without dual official and military permission!
Violators bear the consequences; there is the potential to be shot down without warning!
This announcement made the entire Qingyuan Star instantly boil over.
The scene above the Gustine family’s fiefdom has already attracted too much attention.
Even above the fiefdom, there are over ten paths of Spiritual Power covering it.
Ordinary people know far more, and the message is speeding up astonishingly.
Some forces even timely activated their satellites for live broadcasting.
In fact, those keeping real-time tabs on the development far exceed those under observation.
Especially those major forces and all the nobles, none are uninterested in what’s happening here.
Some nobles had a poor satellite angle, even temporarily paying high rent to use other satellites to grasp the news firsthand.
The cause of the situation has already been widely explained, and it’s simply unstoppable.
The Government had previously prepared suitable blockade measures, but who would have thought the information spread would explode to such an extent?
It can’t be stopped! The speed of spread far surpasses the pace of blocking.
Now, all those major forces are focused on the biggest highlight: the state of the Military Headquarters!
At this moment, the Government suddenly issued such an announcement; how could it not stir the pot?
Some forces wisely choose not to comment for now, planning to see how the situation will develop.
The focal point of all is to see exactly what the Military Headquarters will become.
Some forces, feeling unrelated to the matter, planned to flee on their starships, but didn’t expect to encounter such a notification.
However, more people immediately started clamoring, especially those who believed they had grasped the truth!
The public opinion was in an uproar, but it didn’t affect the flight of the fifth meteorite in the slightest.
Seeing as the distance to the army headquarters was just over two hundred kilometers, it was a matter of seconds.
At this moment, the entire meteorite turned red—having flown long enough in the atmosphere, it had already started burning.
The attacks facing the meteorite became much stronger, the large rock appeared somewhat distorted and trembling, as if it could explode at any moment.
But despite this, the trembling rocks continued to charge wildly downward at an angle.
Finally, a thick white beam of light appeared on the ground, so bright it took on a bluish hue.
"Railgun!" countless people recognized the origin of this white beam, "Damn, it can actually fire!"
"It’s not from the headquarters, it’s from the neighboring guard point, that... whatever regiment is responsible for the fortress, can’t say it directly!"
"The beam from the railgun shouldn’t it be gray-blue, why is it white?"
"Fool, that’s when it’s fully charged, this was obviously fired hastily, who knows if the power is enough!"
"Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand, gray-blue is for stealth, the railgun’s supposed to be white, they can’t bother with stealth now!"
"What’s the joke, the railgun needs to be stealthy? The energy fluctuation can’t be hidden! It’s about strength!"
"Anyway, the preparation was definitely insufficient, but being able to fire is already quite something!"
"Just don’t know if this makeshift power can destroy that small mountain!"
Countless people were debating, but the most concerning issue was whether the railgun could shatter the meteorite.
After all, it was the planet everyone lived on, although the whole matter was incredibly strange, not many people wanted to see their home suffer.
In the midst of the arguments, the white light flashed, incredibly fast, and hit the flaming meteorite squarely!
At this moment, some were arguing, while more people were so nervous they held their breath.
The blazing meteorite paused slightly, shook twice quickly, expanded, contracted, and expanded again...
After the second expansion, the meteorite finally exploded with a roar, turning into countless tiny fragments, even smaller than the fourth meteorite.
Some fragments were still quite large, but the railgun’s kinetic energy was immense, the rejection effect was quite obvious.
The meteorite was rejected and also turned into fragments, which should be considered an impressive achievement, Qingyuan Star dodged a major calamity.
However, those massive rock fragments falling from the sky were still not a good experience.
You could only say the major calamity was avoided, but there were countless minor ones...
In just these few minutes, who knows how many innocent souls would be added to Qingyuan Star!
But at this moment, the four Supreme in the military camp had no heart to pay attention to the fate of those small figures, they collectively let out a long breath.
Anyway, Qingyuan Star was saved, and the environmental impact should be eliminated within a year and a half.
Of course, this would require a significant investment of financial and material resources to clean up, and the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas would also need a lot of funds.
But the final result was still something to be satisfied with.
"That railgun..." The military’s Supreme twitched his lips, "Forget it, let’s not talk about it."
The railgun originated from a fortress over two hundred kilometers away from the headquarters, indeed guarded by a stationed regiment.
This regiment didn’t know what would happen today and received no hints beforehand.
Probably because of this, they should have preemptively activated the railgun after discovering the first meteorite.
Analyzing the phenomenon, this regiment should have considered that the military might launch a rescue, so they made preparations in advance.
Strictly speaking, their response did not conform to the standard operating procedure for the railgun—prior approval is required before use.
But in the face of natural disasters, acting on the urgency is understandable, the responsibility isn’t too great.
—As long as there wasn’t "unauthorized firing without orders," the nature isn’t too bad, they just preemptively activated it by predicting the situation.
The most crucial thing is, because of their unauthorized operation, the army headquarters was preserved.
Just for this result, no matter how much it’s pursued afterward, there wouldn’t be any substantial punishment—perhaps even their merits could offset the demerits.
But the railgun is the empire’s heavy weapon, and the military has always strictly controlled related information, absolutely prohibiting public discussion.
Because of this, when outsiders talk about the railgun, there are so many different opinions.
The military’s Supreme wanted to comment, but ultimately didn’t speak—compared to the losses encountered, this was a small matter not worth discussing.
Then he looked at his colleague, finding the other person was contemplating, he couldn’t help but ask, "What’s with you again?"
He was genuinely worried he would hear new bad news.
The Military Intelligence Department’s Supreme had a face full of hesitation, he hesitated before speaking.
"The other side... withdrew their micro operation when the railgun hit the meteorite!"
No wonder he didn’t want to say it, the implications of such an operation were too obvious.
The Anomalous Management Division’s Supreme snorted coldly, full of disdain, "Even with micro operation, could they withstand the railgun?"
After a pause, he solemnly said, "I think this news should just remain among us."
Then he looked at the military’s Supreme again, "Why hinder the achievements of those warriors of the military?"
