Chapter 1077: The Disintegration Ray Flood Tower
Prince Morgan Leryang was not at the main command center. Instead, he was at the "Exchange Student Association" located just east of the main command center.
This association consisted of 168 exchange students who had returned from the Holy Silver Federation in the past month. Most of the students sent by Skrew to the Holy Silver Federation had not fared well, with only a few like Morgan Leryang achieving notable success.
Initially, these students were reluctant to return to Skrew, as their home planet offered limited opportunities. They believed it was better to wander and seek their fortunes elsewhere rather than fight over scarce resources back home.
However, things had changed.
Skrew had joined the "Civilization Ascension Plan." If they won the war, their home planet would receive an enormous amount of resources, as well as vast tracts of land and abundant spiritual energy on the Blue Planet. This prospect was highly enticing!
Morgan Leryang wrote to these students, offering them substantial rewards to entice them to return. Those who were willing to come back organized themselves into three batches, totaling 168 students.
These 168 students were not ordinary. While none of them were at the Divine level, they included a significant number of Seventh-Rank cultivators—36 in total, making up nearly one-fifth of the group. The remaining 132 were all Sixth-Rank cultivators, with the majority being Upper Sixth Rank or even at the peak of Sixth Rank. Their overall strength was formidable.
Upon returning to their home planet, the 168 students and Morgan Leryang formed the "Exchange Student Association" and elected Morgan Leryang as the president.
Mariana, Morgan's father, had complete trust in his son's management of the association and rarely interfered with its internal affairs.
However, Mariana was well aware that, over the past month, the Exchange Student Association had successfully replicated a powerful weapon—the Disintegration Ray Flood Tower!
To understand the Disintegration Ray Flood Tower, one must first understand the "Disintegration Ray."
The Skrew people had certainly encountered the Disintegration Ray before. The Trenera Skyscraper, which had once obliterated the Morning Star, had its tower top equipped with a Disintegration Ray.
However, the Skrew people had not yet mastered this technology. Their scientists were only just beginning to study it and had not yet produced any significant results.
The Disintegration Ray generator at the top of the Trenera Skyscraper was a scaled-down version purchased by the Lankter Alliance from the Holy Silver Federation, and its power was not substantial.
But the Disintegration Ray Flood Tower was a different story.
The Disintegration Ray Flood Tower was a standard defensive weapon in the Holy Silver Federation, with numerous such towers deployed on each of their core planets. For the Holy Silver Federation, this was a basic weapon, akin to the air-to-ground missiles used by the Blue Planet's nations.
While it was common in the Holy Silver Federation, for a smaller and less advanced civilization like Skrew, it was a highly advanced weapon. Their technology would need to advance for a thousand years just to catch up to this level!
Several of the stronger members of the Exchange Student Association had served in the military and had encountered this weapon before. Through their collective efforts, they successfully replicated it. Mariana had high hopes for this weapon!
With the Skrew alliance's offensive currently stalled, Mariana quickly thought of the weapon from the Exchange Student Association. If they used it, it should provide a significant boost to their offensive efforts.

AI Shilan relayed Manina's command to Morgan Leysun.
Soon, Manina received a video call request from Morgan.
Without hesitation, Manina answered the call and addressed his son, Morgan Leysun, on the screen with a gentle smile, "Morgan, how is the preparation for the Disintegration Ray Flood Tower you mentioned last time?"
"Father, are you planning to use it now?"
"Of course."
"All the parts for the Disintegration Ray Flood Tower are ready. We recently purchased them from the Holy Silver Federation. However..."
"However, what?"
"Theoretically, these parts can assemble ten Disintegration Ray Flood Towers, but in practice, we might only manage to build four to five. We have no assembly experience, so there will likely be mistakes during the process, leading to some failures."
"That's fine. Start the assembly now. Once completed, they can be put into use immediately. Don't worry about the losses."
"Thank you, Father." Morgan Leysun on the other side of the screen breathed a sigh of relief.
"When do you think you'll complete the assembly?"
"If we start now, the first tower should be ready in three days."
"Very well, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"Understood, Father. I won't let you down."
With that, Manina hung up the call, satisfied with his son's response. Now, he would wait for the Disintegration Ray Flood Towers to be assembled.

……
The war continued.
The Blue Star and Skrull Star forces were still locked in intense combat at the Xuanwu Node, with neither side showing any signs of backing down. The sky around the Xuanwu Node had turned a deep, dark purple, and the space was in turmoil.
In such a massive battle, soldiers on both sides were falling rapidly.
While the divine-level warriors were still holding their ground—no divine-level warriors had been lost since the deaths of the Sea Titan King and Morning Star—the casualties below the divine level were frequent.
Almost every two hours, a seventh-rank cultivator from each side would fall. The sixth and fifth-rank cultivators were falling in droves.
Both sides were rapidly depleting their manpower and military resources, waiting to see when the Long Yuan Four Symbols Array would finally give way.
Time flew by, and soon it was June 4th, the fourth day of the battle.
By the fourth day, the war had entered a routine phase.
The front lines were still tense, but the atmosphere in the rear had relaxed somewhat.
For example, in the capital, the tension among the populace was far less than it had been on June 1st.
On June 1st, almost all the residents of the capital were extremely anxious.
People gathered in open spaces and squares, sharing their fears and constantly checking their phones for the latest updates from the front lines.
The Blue Star United Government did not disappoint, promptly publishing real-time information online, all of which was 100% accurate. This helped prevent widespread panic.
After a day of worry, people realized that their side's strong warriors could indeed hold off the Skrulls, and that the war would likely drag on for a long time.
People gradually returned home and resumed their daily routines, working, playing, and living as usual.
Society began to function normally again.
