Chapter 330: Returning the Favor
War between civilizations is a process of mutual learning and adaptation, each borrowing from the other’s strengths to overcome weaknesses.
Just as the Swarm had studied and adopted the Riken’s propulsion systems, observation technologies, and computer hardware and software, the Rikens, too, sought to learn from the Swarm.
On this historic day, the Riken electromagnetic railguns were fired at an extraterrestrial force for the first time, marking a new chapter in the war’s turning point.
“Is this what the Overlord meant by using the strengths of the enemy against them?” Sarah Kerrigan remarked with a casual laugh, watching the Riken side unleash a barrage of thousands of railgun rounds.
Morgan, feeling a bit awkward, whispered, “Your Majesty, while the meaning fits, if we view it from the Riken perspective, it doesn’t put us in the best light.”
“Haha, they’ll soon discover that we can use the same trick against them,” Sarah replied confidently.
The electromagnetic projectiles emitted only a faint spark of electricity as they left the barrels, their subsequent flight through the void utterly silent. Over 2,000 rounds streaked across the vastness of space, heading toward Satellite 14 of Planet Izumo.
The Primordial bodies stationed in orbit around Planet Izumo lay motionless, seemingly indifferent. However, much like warships, they could easily evade such projectiles by making slight movements during the rounds’ long travel time. Targeting them was not cost-effective.
Among Izumo’s many moons, Satellite 14 was the most favorable target due to its position within the Rikens’ firing range and line of sight.
