Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 293: Two Battlefield

During the rapid maneuvers, Tom’s interception fleet and the Mechanical Disaster Alliance’s hydrogen bomb spacecraft fleet quickly entered combat range, and a major battle ensued.

Amidst flying cannonballs, one side attacked relentlessly, while the other defended desperately. However, the situation was the reverse of the previous battle on Third Planet.

Tom, who was originally on the defensive, became the attacking side.

But with this shift in offensive and defensive roles, the situation was completely different from that at Third Planet.

Without the support of the massive unmanned combat system around the planet, Tom could not gain an advantage in this space wilderness battle, especially in the near-stellar environment.

In addition, there was another extremely important factor: a star, after all, was too massive.

Tom’s fleet blocked this one orbit, but the Mechanical Disaster Alliance fleet could simply bypass it and choose another orbit. After all, the star was just sitting there; it wouldn’t run away. Where did it matter if they attacked?

Regardless of which part of the star was attacked, the entire star would ultimately be affected, achieving the same result.

Finally, after Tom failed to complete the interception despite his best efforts, paying the price of tens of thousands of warships being annihilated, he watched helplessly as thousands of hydrogen bomb spacecraft were launched into the star.

These heavy transport ships had a greater payload capacity than Tom’s, and the yield of a single hydrogen bomb was also higher. The estimated total explosive yield was approximately 10 quintillion tons of TNT.

The next moment, like a wounded beast, the star erupted again, its outward radiation power instantly increasing by more than double.

Under the bombardment of this endless thermal radiation, light radiation, high-energy radiation, and high-energy charged particle streams, even though Tom’s warships and industrial facilities on First Planet had adopted as many defensive measures as possible, they still began to be affected at this moment.

Instantly, a large number of industrial facilities were paralyzed, and for those that weren’t, the failure rate sharply soared. In space, many satellites were destroyed, and warships had to allocate more energy to their shields, which affected their maneuverability and defensive capabilities to some extent.

After this, the Mechanical Disaster Alliance fleet immediately changed its orbit and began to advance towards First Planet.

Tom knew very well what would happen next.

If this situation was not changed quickly, First Planet might truly fall into the enemy’s hands.

And, once a large planet was secured as a stronghold, with the nearly infinite resources and energy supply on the large planet, the Mechanical Disaster Alliance fleet’s situation would fundamentally improve immediately. His own advantage would be completely lost!

Tom instantly activated all the clones located on First Planet, preparing for battle with all his might, and at the same time, diverted a considerable portion of his brainpower to that asteroid.

A large number of fleets also began to maneuver and converge on that asteroid.

The reason was simple: the Mechanical Disaster Alliance fleet’s intentions could not be hidden, and his own intentions also could not be hidden.

They would not allow him to dismantle this asteroid and throw it into the star.

To achieve this goal, he could only rely on his fleet and his strength.

Then, let’s fight another battle!

No, it’s two battles! First Planet needed to be defended with all strength, and the asteroid also needed to be defended with all strength. If either of these two battlefields could be won, the situation could be changed.

At this moment, Tom only had a total of 2.1 million warships. So, after leaving only 100,000 warships to defend Second Planet and Third Planet, of the remaining 2 million warships, 1 million headed to First Planet, and 1 million headed to the asteroid.

At the same time, massive numbers of unmanned warships, unmanned combat equipment, etc., also surged like a flood towards these two battlefields.

The Mechanical Disaster Alliance fleet also began to divide its forces, distributing its strength evenly. It was clear that they also knew that not only First Planet had to be attacked, but the asteroid also had to be attacked.

They had to win both battles; they could not lose either!

The great battle then began.

The cruel space meat grinder started up again.

In the vastness of space, amidst countless flying cannonballs, one warship after another exploded with a roar.

This time, Tom once again exerted his full strength. Not only Venus-class and Earth-class battleships, but even the extremely precious Mars-class battleships, were treated like consumables in Tom’s hands.

This time, Mars-class battleships no longer only targeted the enemy’s smaller objectives but bravely stepped forward to directly confront the enemy’s largest warships. Even when at a disadvantage, they fought to the death, holding their ground firmly.

Because the asteroid battlefield was not a large planet battlefield, and the First Planet battlefield was also weakened due to the star.

At this point, if the Mars-class battleships didn’t step forward, the defensive line truly couldn’t hold!

Boom!

A gigantic Mars-class battleship with a mass of over 300,000 tons exploded with a roar, turning to ashes in the light of a high-yield hydrogen bomb explosion, leaving nothing behind.

This was the first Mars-class battleship Tom had lost since the war began.

The fruit of decades of hard work by millions of clones was completely written off at this moment.

But Tom’s heart was as still as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

He merely, with a calmness bordering on cruelty, sent another Mars-class battleship to take its place.

Mars-class battleships could be destroyed, but the defensive line... could not be broken!

Once it broke, the strategy would be a complete failure!

The meat-grinder-like space war continued. While maintaining the defensive line, Tom also carried out the massive asteroid cutting mission.

One 100-meter-diameter, approximately 1.5 million-ton cube after another was cut out and then temporarily stored in a star-orbiting orbit. The thruster installation work was also proceeding busily but orderly.

Outside the construction site, millions of warships were fighting desperately. The enemy’s offensive was as fierce as a tide, and although Tom’s defensive line was precarious, it remained like a great dam, firmly holding back the assault.

The situation was now extremely critical. But Tom still had not used the Unified Force Field.

The best opportunity had not yet arrived. Now, he could not waste it!

But...

It seemed he had no opportunity to use the Unified Force Field on the asteroid battlefield.

All 15 Mars-class battleships dispatched to the asteroid battlefield had been destroyed. And the enemy’s offensive continued relentlessly.

Finally, a breach was made, and a large number of Mechanical Disaster Alliance warships surged in.

Endless energy cannon projectiles, missiles, lasers, and rockets poured down like a storm. The total of over a billion cubes that Tom had painstakingly accumulated and installed thrusters on over several years were all attacked.

All propulsion devices and factory facilities were instantly destroyed.

Tom’s heart was as still as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

Under a single command, those industrial facilities that had not yet been destroyed by the enemy were all destroyed by Tom himself.
