Chapter 1057: Testing the Defense Grid
Chapter 1057: Testing the Defense Grid
Boom!
The Tashin Defense Grid shook violently.
The orange barrier clearly couldn't withstand such a powerful attack. After struggling to hold on for a moment, it shattered into pieces.
From Su Yu's perspective, the barrier's durability plummeted from 100% to 0% in an instant.
Not far away, Chancellor Cao, Senior Yang Jian, and other top cultivators quickly erected their own defensive shields.
A kaleidoscope of defensive barriers sprang up, blocking the shockwave, intense light, and loud noise. The players and cultivators behind the barriers were spared from harm.
However, the speed at which the defense grid repaired itself was still astounding.
Just over a second after being destroyed, the barrier was fully restored. The orange crystal barrier once again reached 100% durability, and the gaps that had been created were immediately filled.
Seeing this, Chancellor Cao couldn't help but marvel, "Wow, I didn't think the defense grid could be breached, let alone recover so quickly!"
"It's not surprising that it was breached," Chairman Hu Jin agreed. "After all, that attack was incredibly powerful. If even a peak Eighth Stage cultivator's full-strength attack couldn't break through the defense grid, it would be too terrifying."
"But I have a concern," Commissar Zhang said, frowning as he looked at the fully restored orange barrier. "The barrier can be breached and repaired in just one second. But isn't that second enough for high-stage cultivators to pass through?"
Chancellor Cao nodded. "Yes, it is. One second is more than enough time for even Fifth Stage or Sixth Stage cultivators to slip through the gap."
However, he then smiled. "But I don't think we need to worry about that. Even if a few Skrull high-stage cultivators manage to get through, what can they do? They'll be like fish in a barrel!"
"Right," Commissar Zhang quickly agreed.
Even if Plankt managed to get through, the Tashin Defense Grid's rapid repair capability would prevent his entire army from following him.
Without his army, he would be a lone commander with no support. The Blue Star's divine beings wouldn't let him escape alive!
"Unless the barrier can't be repaired, it's meaningless for the Skrulls to temporarily destroy it."
Chairman Hu Jin turned to Su Yu. "Su Yu, can the orange barrier keep repairing itself so quickly? Is there any limit to the number of times it can repair, or any energy constraints?"
Su Yu glanced at the defense grid's information panel and replied, "There's no limit to the number of repairs, but there are energy constraints.
The two attacks from Senior Ying Zheng reduced the Tashin Defense Grid's energy storage from 100% to 99.93%. Once the energy is depleted or nearly depleted, the barrier's automatic repair function will fail."
"99.93%..." Chairman Hu Jin was somewhat stunned.
Two such earth-shattering attacks from the First Emperor only managed to deplete seven ten-thousandths of the defense grid's energy? It seems the Tashin Defense Grid has an enormous energy reserve!
"How does the defense grid's energy storage recover?" Commissar Zhang asked. "Can it be replenished with spirit energy?"
"Of course," Su Yu answered. "But it's not limited to spirit energy. Other forms of energy, such as electrical, thermal, or light energy, can also be used. However, considering efficiency and conversion rates, spirit energy is undoubtedly the best option, far surpassing other forms of energy."
Hearing Su Yu's explanation, Chairman Hu Jin immediately perked up.
His eyes lit up. "So electrical and thermal energy can also be used? We should build more fusion power plants in Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido then!"
At the moment, while the Blue Planet might be lacking in other resources, electrical power is absolutely abundant.
During his first trip to the Skrull planet, Su Yu obtained fusion power technology from Cindy Doppler. After half a year of study and research, humanity on the Blue Planet has mastered this technology and is ready to put it into use.
Su Yu turned to look at the First Emperor. "Senior Ying Zheng, let's test the defensive network again, this time with someone defending it. I'll set up a defensive shield, and you attack with the same intensity as last time."
As he spoke, Su Yu quickly cast a spell, and the [Astral Shield] skill immediately took shape, passing through the orange barrier and enveloping its inner surface.
The [Astral Shield] is Su Yu's most frequently used seventh-level defensive spell. Not only can it be cast instantly and provides strong protection, but his equipment also significantly enhances this skill.
As soon as the [Astral Shield] was cast, a grayish-white shield adorned with mystical runes immediately enveloped the inner side of the barrier. Su Yu didn't just cast one [Astral Shield]; he continuously injected spiritual energy into it, enhancing the shield's defensive power.
The First Emperor didn't hesitate either. A green and a black stream of light once again burst forth from his body, the two colors instantly slicing through the sky and striking the center of the [Astral Shield].
Crack!
The [Astral Shield] exploded with a deafening boom! A full-power attack from a peak god-level being was far beyond what this level of shield could withstand, even with Su Yu's enhancements. The shield was instantly breached.
After piercing the [Astral Shield], the two streams of light hit the orange barrier.
This time, however, the barrier held up much better.
Boom!
The barrier was hit with countless fine white cracks, and a three to four-meter indentation formed at its center, creaking and groaning under the strain. But it managed to hold, unlike the last time when it shattered.
From Su Yu's perspective, he could clearly see that the barrier's durability had dropped from 100% to 7%. It was a close call, but it held!
This also demonstrated that the [Astral Shield] had indeed played a significant role in the defense.
Seeing this, Chairman Hu Jing said excitedly, "Since we can cast defensive shields on the barrier, things just got a lot easier! When the Skrulls approach the defensive network, our high-tier experts can quickly reinforce the defense. As long as we can track the movements of the Skrulls' high-tier experts, we won't have to worry about them breaking through!"
"Yes," Commissar Zhang agreed, marveling, "I never thought a defensive shield could be cast on the barrier. I must have been too narrow-minded. The St. Silver people truly create remarkable things!"
Su Yu was also very satisfied with the performance of the defensive network.
He nodded approvingly. "In summary, the Tarxin Defense Network's defensive capabilities are quite impressive. The Skrulls will find it very difficult to break through, and even if they do, the damage will be manageable. Once the war officially begins, the Skrulls will likely attempt to attack the network a few times. Based on the current situation, they will probably give up after a few tries and focus on the two portals."
"Indeed," the expressions of Chairman Hu Jing, Commissar Zhang, Prime Minister Cao, and the others gradually turned serious. "It seems we need to invest more effort into the portals. The main battlefields between the Blue Planet and the Skrull planet will likely be those two portals!"
