Chapter 445: Meteor

In fact, the time that had been taken for the modification of the smart missile was shorter than expected. In less than two hours, a batch of smart missiles had already been remodeled. Half of the time had been used to search for information on the technology and to communicate with the Manufacturing Department.

The video tracking ability was not a complex technology and with the Glassian’s manufacturing standards, the modification process was a piece of cake. This could certainly be manufactured on a large scale.

Each weapon had their own distinct function. For instance, the smart bombs were used to aim at distant targets in space while the electromagnetics guns or high-powered lasers were used to attack enemies at close range.

Space battle was different from planetary war. They had never encountered an opponent like Luo Yuan who had a strong sense of danger and could avoid incoming attacks so quickly. Therefore, they had never required the smart missiles to have a video tracking function until they met Luo Yuan!

When all the weapons were ready, the Glassians were relieved. Admittedly, the strong human had caused them to be slightly tense and nervous. His incredible predictive ability and teleportation powers had caused the Glassians to feel a sense of helplessness. But it would stop here!

Regardless of Luo Yuan’s ability to teleport or to foresee danger, they were certain that Luo Yuan would not escape the attacks from their new upgraded weapons. He was fast, but not fast enough to escape from the nuclear powered smart missiles.

They were unable to explain how the teleportation worked but believed that there must be some limitations to it. Based on the previous battles, they noticed that he could not teleport continuously, otherwise, the battle could have ended quickly and he would not have been flying around dangerously for so long to avoid all sorts of attacks.

Suddenly, the Glassians realized that their target had gone missing while they were in the midst of preparing their weapons.

”Where is he!?” The captain asked.

”Sir, he's on the Moon!” The army who was constantly monitoring Luo Yuan's movements said while pointing on the screen that was displaying a planet pitted with craters.

”What is he doing there? Not long ago, a gigantic space beast had appeared there. Is he going to ask it for help?” The captain joked and look relaxed. He then said, ”Let's not waste our time here. I don't want to stay here any longer. Destroy him with our newly modified smart missiles!”

”Yes, sir!”

After a few seconds, they fired the missile! It was as if a massive object blasted off into space! As usual, it flew for half a second before the long rays started streaming through the nuclear-powered engine. The missile continued to accelerate and after 10 minutes, it had reached a traveling speed of 3,000 kilometers per second. The smart missile resembled an arrow as it shot straight at a rapid speed towards the Moon.

”The major disadvantage of this weapon is the long waiting time!” The captain said helplessly. He could not wait to see the outcome of the attack. However, the spaceship was 2000 kilometers away from the Moon and despite the fast traveling speed of the smart missile, he would still need to wait for two hours in order to know the results of their latest attack.

”I think we are too far away. We should move closer to the Moon.” He commanded. By assessing the human’s agility, he believed that it would be safe to stay one light-second away from him.

…

The spaceship vibrated slightly as the intermittent nuclear fusion from the engine propelled the spaceship forward marginally. The speed was so slow at the beginning that it was barely noticeable. However, within seconds it suddenly accelerated at an astonishing speed. A long light streaked across the dark space and the energy released by the nuclear fusion pulse was equivalent to the energy released during the explosion of a hydrogen bomb. The spaceship would accelerate every time a pulse was sent out.

…

At that moment, nobody noticed that an insignificant meteor had flashed across the side of the Moon. It was not moving very quickly and its path appeared to be slightly curved as it was influenced by the Moon’s gravity. After moving in a long arc, it was able to overcome the Moon’s gravitational force and blasted off into space.

During the flight, its path could be adjusted accordingly and it secretly deflected 30 degrees an hour when it was not in the Moon’s gravitational atmosphere. Of course, this was no ordinary meteor.

If the Glassians were to scan the meteor with an X-ray, they would see that there was actually a hollow space inside it in which Luo Yuan was sitting with his legs crossed.

…

In fact, when Luo Yuan had arrived on the Moon in a space-time bubble, he had almost used up all of his Will. Without his Will, his abilities were greatly reduced. He could still fight with mutated beasts using his Strength but he was certain that he would die if he had to deal with the Glassians’ spaceship without his ability to teleport or fly.

He had initially planned to take a short break when he arrived on the Moon to recharge his Will. His body’s fusion ability helped restore his Will at a faster rate. He could be fully recharged in just a few hours.
