Chapter 984 - 501: Thunder Hammer

Gong Shicheng’s shout of "Fire!" immediately triggered a metal storm.

Every weapon operator of the Canglan Eagle completed the targeting operation at the fastest speed.

That is—through the intelligent tactical helmet, directly obtaining the target coordinates, then using metal nerves to input parameters into the weapon system.

With simple training, it can be done in 0.1 seconds.

Next, the operator only needs to do one thing—confirm the fire command with metal nerves.

The entire launch process does not require moving a single finger.

Compared to the armed helicopter fire control system before the Age of Calamity, it is not just a bit faster.

This is just one of the many advancements in Great Xia’s military technology.

"Woo~ Woo~"

A loud whistling sound arose.

Over twenty guided rockets, trailing pale blue flames, quickly broke through twice the speed of sound.

Each trail rapidly extended over two kilometers, plunging into the area where the Pigeon Drone lost contact.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions was extremely muffled, as if they had exploded underground.

A strange scene unfolded.

At the site of each rocket explosion, hundreds of bright crimson streams emerged, looking especially brilliant and colorful.

Each stream instantly swept out nearly 150 meters, penetrating the obstacles encountered, then experienced severe attenuation, turning dark red.

The streams flew another 100 meters before disappearing.

This was the Spiritual Ability Weapon developed by Great Xia last year—High-Energy Stream Shell.

As mutated creatures became increasingly powerful, traditional weapons had repeatedly proven less effective against monsters.

Now, the military weapons of Great Xia have fully entered the era of Spiritual Ability Weapons.

As the name suggests, High-Energy Stream Shell turns the supernatural energy released by explosions into streams of extremely high intensity, naturally causing greater damage.

The next moment.

Kong Bo shouted directly, his tone filled with shock: "Report! Supernatural spectrum scanning radar has discovered one hundred and thirteen supernatural entities!"

The so-called "supernatural entities" were undoubtedly the invading swarm of Poisonous Ants.

So many Poisonous Ants hidden in the woods, yet the radar did not detect them, indicating they had mastered special means to significantly reduce the supernatural spectrum.

While shouting, Kong Bo quickly transmitted the target information to the intelligent data chain, sharing it with every soldier in the formation.

"Hit them with all you’ve got!"

Gong Shicheng felt a tingling on his scalp and shouted again.

"Woo~ Woo~"

More whistling sounds arose.

Every Canglan Eagle launched more than twenty rockets in succession, totaling over a hundred.

The intelligent data chain automatically assigned each rocket an attack target, minimizing repeated strikes to maximize attack effectiveness.

Kong Bo took a moment to check the radar-scanned target parameters.

The energy index of the Poisonous Ant swarm varied exceedingly, with the highest and lowest differing by more than five times.

The intelligent system also provided an assessment: "High-Energy Stream Shell has some destructive effects but cannot kill the target; it is deduced that the target possesses extremely strong defense capabilities."

He glanced at it, showing a shocked expression.

Holy crap!

Primordial monsters are truly abnormal!

A second passed.

Kong Bo noticed that each target seemed to sense being locked onto and began to sprint wildly in different directions.

Scanning radar data indicated that their running speed reached a maximum of 280 kilometers per hour, with the slowest at 260 kilometers per hour.

The guided rockets deviated direction, chasing after their respective targets.

Without thinking, Kong Bo shouted: "The swarm of Poisonous Ants is evading the rockets; their speed is extremely fast."

With such rapid speed and agile terrain crossing, the hit rate is likely not high.

Actually, he didn’t need to shout; everyone saw the calculation result via the intelligent data chain—the projected hit rate was 13%.

Although the High-Energy Stream Shell is a range attack, the more accurate the impact point, the more streams hit, and naturally, the higher the damage.

Conversely, the destructive effect is significantly diminished.

Everyone had a serious expression.

The formidable display of the Poisonous Ant swarm made the soldiers’ strong confidence in "our epoch-defining advanced weapons" waver.

This battle would be difficult!

Gong Shicheng’s pupils moved slightly, looking at the suggestions automatically given by the intelligent decision system in the tactical helmet view.

"Based on currently known information, it is determined that there is a 98% probability that the targets are ’Black Rock Ants’.

"Black Rock Ants possess extremely strong defense capability and move very quickly. First-level and second-level spiritual weapons have little effect on them.

"Black Rock Ants are not very resistant to spiritual attacks, Black Rock Ants have low resistance to soundwave supernatural attacks.

"Recommendation: immediately use ’Thunder Hammer’ soundwave strike weapon.

"Special Reminder: No Warrior level Black Rock Ants have been detected yet, but there is a more than 95% chance of Warriors being present. Due to the lack of information on Warrior Black Rock Ants, the system cannot provide advice, so please remain highly vigilant."

Gong Shicheng glanced at the battlefield direction, decisively issuing the first command: "All units elevate altitude, altitude must not be less than three kilometers!"

"Yes!"

This was to deal with the possible presence of Warrior Black Rock Ants.

Black Rock Ants are flightless Poisonous Ants, and increasing altitude can maximize the safety of the formation.

"Boom! Boom!"

The second wave of rockets exploded again.

Streams blossomed along with them, adding a unique landscape to the forest.

As anticipated, the rocket attack was ineffective, not a single Black Rock Ant was killed.
