"One shot for one Base City? How is that possible?"

Every Base City has dozens of Level Seven Life Forms and at least thousands of Level Six Life Forms. So far, they haven't developed any thermal weapons capable of effectively harming Level Seven Life Forms.

Not only that, the defense systems of those Base Cities can't be underestimated, can they?

They can fully withstand bombardments by Level Seven Peak Life Forms for several hours. If it really takes one strike to destroy the entire defense system of a Base City, the momentary power must at least reach the full force equivalent to a Level Eight Elementary Life Form's strike.

But even if the defense system is breached, the attack's power would be largely diminished, making it challenging to destroy structures inside the Base City, let alone inflict effective damage on the enemies guarding the city within.

It's not just Universe Seven; currently, even other universes haven't produced similar weapons. Otherwise, it would be akin to a nuclear bomb. If they possessed such a weapon, who would dare provoke them?

If you dare act recklessly, we'll just toss one towards your Base City and see if you dare act arrogantly.

"That's why I said our research team in Universe Seven isn't competent," Zhang Menglong remarked, "I found fighters from this batch with strong learning and research abilities, and started teaching them basic physics. They've already begun to achieve initial results."

"At what stage is the weapon development now?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Reporting to the Legion Commander, we've begun the first phase of experimentation, and we're planning to consult with you."

"Menglong, can we go and have a look?"

"Indeed, I'd like to see what kind of weapon possesses such power."

The Legion Commanders were full of curiosity about the weapon Zhang Menglong mentioned. His personal combat prowess is formidable, and the troops he has led are astonishingly strong. Now he has established a research team within a year?

In one year, even a Level One civilization could hardly grasp the most basic subjects, let alone surpass the highest technological level across the universe. Zhang Menglong is very likely bluffing.

However, linking this to his achievements in training troops within a year compelled them to question whether their judgment and doubts were reasonable.

After all, the existence of Zhang Menglong is inherently unreasonable.

A young person of twenty-plus universe years, he's not only an Alchemist but also an inventor, with a Level Six Elementary Life Level, pursuing Peak Level Seven Life Forms in combat; yet you speak to me of science? That's pure mysticism!

"Let's go, lead the way!" Zhang Menglong had merely given them a blueprint for a weapon called "Super Fusion Weapon," then established a research team of thousands, and no more. After all, many of the division leaders in his legion are graduates from physics and chemistry academies.

"Super Fusion Weapon" is a thermal weapon used by mid-level universes, utilizing particles more minute than atoms for induced fusion, releasing energy surpassing hydrogen nuclear fusion.

In such a level of universe, the power of this weapon is sufficient to annihilate an entire galaxy in one shot. It can also compress the attack range for more intense strikes within a smaller area.

Passing through the entire practical area, the Legion Commanders saw all sorts of unimaginable Martial Dao secrets, igniting in them an impulse to open the doors and join the lessons immediately.

Such impressive things they wished to learn too!

"General, we...."

"Don't look at me!" Luo Ze said, "I damn well don't understand either, and I want to learn!"

Luo Ze had heard that the President of the Universal Martial Dao Association had once exchanged half of the association's ownership with Zhang Kai for a stone tablet inscribed with immensely powerful Martial Dao techniques.

But he reportedly introspected on it for hundreds of years without any breakthrough to date.

Though they possess some treasure secrets of their own, achieving significant destructive power from certain Martial Dao techniques, such research typically takes tens of thousands of years or even longer.

Yet, these people achieved such results after only a year's study; now he feels like a complete waste!

Soon they arrived at the "Cannon King Research Department," where thousands of warriors were bustling about.

Curiously checking these people's Life Form energy levels, they found not a single one below 1000 points!

"Are they just researchers?"

"Yes." Zhang Menglong nodded, "They are usually here researching weapons, without combat duties."

"But their energy levels are no weaker than anyone else's!"

"Oh, our legion practices Foundation Techniques, requiring just two or three hours a day to achieve results, allowing everyone to develop comprehensively in the remaining time."

"Comprehensive development...." They sensed their facial muscles twitching almost to numbness, pondering how advanced these Foundation Techniques must be, achieving such bodily development within a year, practicing only two or three hours daily?

"Is this your latest weapon?"

Through the glass of the command room, they saw a weapon held by hundreds of mechanical arms.

It resembled an ice crystal, approximately several inches long, with a silhouette like a cut diamond, faintly showing two particle structures intertwining like a DNA double helix.

"Don't underestimate this small thing," Zhang Menglong stated, "Once these two particles accelerate to 274 kilometers per second and collide, they undergo super fusion, releasing millions of times more energy than a stellar explosion."

"Is it really that powerful?" All still held disbelief, as their knowledge couldn't comprehend this reaction.

"Let the experiment begin!" Zhang Menglong announced, "Which universe has been acting up lately?"

"Universe 107," a Legion Commander promptly stated, "Yesterday, their 774 Base City clashed with our troops digging for Energy Crystal Stones, even injuring one of my brigade commanders."

"Then let's hit them!" Zhang Menglong declared, "Is it within attack range?"

"Reporting officer Zhang, Universe 107's 774 Base City happens to be right within our strike range!"

"Then blast it one!" Zhang Menglong slammed the table, "Let's test the power of our Super Fusion Weapon!"

"Can the strike target's situation be monitored?"

In this place, devices like satellites for detection aren't feasible.

"Yes!" a warrior responded, "We can mount a small Proton Detector on the Super Fusion Weapon to transmit images of the attack via quantum entanglement."

"Excellent!" Zhang Menglong nodded appreciatively, "Hear my command, prepare all departments!"

"Launch!"

In an instant, the ice-crystal-like Super Fusion Weapon headed towards Universe 107's Base City 774.

...

Twenty minutes later, at Universe 107's 774 Base City.

"Detected energy substance approaching our Base City, preliminarily judged as an unknown local target weapon."

"No problem, our Base City's defense system operates 24/7. Unless it's a High-Grade Life Form, there's no threat to our Base City. Maintain observation!"

"Sure, the target will arrive in 1 minute."

"30 seconds remaining!"

"10 seconds!"

"Boom!"

Upon contact with the defense system, the entire 107 Universe's Base City 774 was enveloped completely by a golden blaze within one-thousandth of a second.

The defense system, able to withstand a full strike from a Level Eight Life Form, instantly collapsed and disintegrated, while the continuing burst of energy blistered the entire Base City like a star.

This surge of energy lasted merely ten seconds, yet when it extinguished, the entire Base City became almost a wasteland.

"Report to the Legion Commander, initially 129382736 targets, including 37 Level Seven Life Forms, 2841 Level Six Life Forms. Following the strike, only 28 targets remain, with 16 Level Seven Life Forms, and 12 Level Six Life Forms left."

Zhang Menglong stroked his chin, "Still survivors? The power's still not enough!"
