136: Chapter 136 Su Qingyue Breaks Through with Antimatter Weapons! Destructive Power Increases drastically!

Star Era 3728, Year 1 of the Dawn Empire, Dawn flagship, deep research core area.

The most secretive and highest energy-level area of the entire Dawn was completely sealed off by a pale blue energy barrier. There was no grandeur of the command hall, no stern solemnity of the mecha hangar, only dense holographic pipelines, shimmering superconducting alloys, constantly jumping cosmic energy level data, and an almost solidified tense atmosphere in the air.

This was the heart of the Imperial Research Center, the ultimate laboratory where Commander Su Qingyue had been in seclusion for months, tackling the Anti-matter Weapon.

Since Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan led the core team of the Federation military industry to surrender and join the Imperial Research Center, the operational efficiency of the entire laboratory had more than tripled. Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan had been deeply involved in Federation power systems for thirty years and had an almost instinctive understanding of high-energy particle confinement, anti-matter annihilation reactions, and mecha core power supply, which happened to fill the last gap in Commander Su Qingyue's engineering implementation.

The Grey Race technical team led by Aila further contributed the star domain's top-tier Annihilation Divine Runes engraving technology and Star-Bone Xuan Iron superconducting materials without reservation, providing an unprecedented material foundation for the stable storage and directional release of the Anti-matter Weapon.

In the center of the laboratory, a spherical confinement device with a diameter of over ten meters floated quietly. Inside, the pale silver anti-matter particle flow rotated slowly like a galaxy, tightly imprisoned in the vacuum chamber by multiple force fields. This was the first time in human civilization that macroscopic anti-matter stable storage had been achieved, and it was the eve of the birth of a cross-era weapon.

Commander Su Qingyue wore a form-fitting silver-white research combat suit, her long hair tied up, revealing her smooth and cold profile. Her fingertips danced rapidly over the holographic console; with every touch, billions of data streams were parsed, reconstructed, and optimized in real-time. In her originally cold and calm eyes, the unique fanaticism and sharpness of a researcher burned, and the fatigue of not closing her eyes for three days and three nights was completely suppressed by the excitement of the imminent breakthrough.

Beside her, Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan stood by with twelve top Federation engineers. Everyone had a dedicated parameter panel floating in front of them, their eyes tense, not daring to breathe. They had exhausted half their lives in the Federation without ever touching the threshold of Anti-matter Weapons, and now, they were standing at the peak entrance of interstellar weapon history.

"Anti-matter particle concentration: 147%, stability 99.7%, exceeding theoretical threshold!"

"Annihilation Divine Runes coupling: 100%, Grey Race materials perfectly handle energy overflow!"

"Directional burst module calibration complete, no energy turbulence, no cavity resonance!"

"Weapon output port matches Dawn main cannon, ship-borne turrets, and mecha portable devices, full link connectivity!"

The parameter reports sounded one after another like war drums, echoing continuously in the laboratory.

Commander Su Qingyue's fingertips paused abruptly, locking onto the final control command.

She took a deep breath, her cold voice carrying a hint of imperceptible tremor, yet remaining as steady as a rock:

"All personnel evacuate the safety zone, initiate final verification procedure, Anti-matter Weapon Zero prototype, full power ignition!"

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated instantly, the heavy blast-proof alloy door slowly closed, and the safety barrier energy level was maxed out.

The next second—

Commander Su Qingyue pressed the confirm key.

Boom—!!!

A silent shockwave swept through the entire laboratory. The spherical confinement device suddenly bloomed with a blinding silver-white brilliance—the ultimate light capable of annihilating all matter—yet it was perfectly confined within the directional channel. Anti-matter particles collided with normal matter in the core chamber, and the annihilation energy surged geometrically, rushing along the superconducting pipelines toward the weapon testing platform at the end of the laboratory.

Beyond the testing platform was an isolated deep space simulation area, where prepared targets were placed: the Federation's toughest warship armor plating, Apocalypse Class Mecha shells, planetary-level anti-aircraft shield generators, and even a high-density alloy block simulating planetary surface rock layers—these were the strongest defensive equipment currently in service in the Federation.

The silver-white annihilation beam flashed and disappeared.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no blinding glare, only a moment of ultimate silence.

The next moment, the data on the holographic monitoring screen exploded:

Target 1: Federation flagship-level armor, completely annihilated in 0.003 seconds, no residue.

Target 2: Apocalypse Class Mecha full defensive system, instantly vaporized, no structural residue.

Target 3: Planetary-level anti-aircraft shield, directly penetrated, shield core annihilated and deactivated.

Target 4: Ten-meter-thick high-density alloy rock layer, penetrated to the bottom, forming an absolute vacuum channel.

Weapon lethality: 37 times the original design specifications!

Effective range: Increased to 12 light-year units!

Energy conversion rate: 98.6%, infinitely close to the theoretical limit!

Compatible platforms: Planet-Killing Main Cannon, ship-borne turrets, Dawn Mecha, strategic missiles... fully compatible across the series!

The light of the jumping data illuminated Commander Su Qingyue's cold face.

She slowly raised her head, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes, immediately replaced by ultimate sharpness.

Breakthrough.

A truly cross-era ultimate weapon, the Anti-matter Annihilation Weapon, has completely broken through!

Lethality skyrocketed thirty-seven times!

The entire interstellar civilization had never seen such a terrifying individual and ship-borne weapon!

"Success... We succeeded!"

Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan pushed open the safety door and rushed back into the laboratory. Looking at the test data on the screen, he was trembling with excitement, tears streaming down his face. The pinnacle of military industry he had spent his life pursuing had finally become reality under the Dawn Empire and with the support of the Emperor.

"Anti-matter Weapon... This is the true interstellar ultimate weapon! Never mind the Federation's remnants, even the Freedom Alliance's Main Fleet could have half annihilated in a single volley!"

The other engineers cheered, their long-suppressed emotions completely erupting.

They knew that from this moment on, the Dawn Empire's firepower level had completely left the Federation and the Freedom Alliance an era behind, becoming the undisputed absolute hegemon of the entire star domain!

Commander Su Qingyue nodded slightly, suppressing the excitement in her heart. Her fingertips operated rapidly, synchronizing the full set of technical parameters, engineering drawings, and mounting schemes of the Anti-matter Weapon to the Dawn's central database, submitting them to Emperor Chen Fan in the supreme command hall immediately.

"Reporting to the Emperor."

Commander Su Qingyue's voice came through the communication channel, cold and firm, spreading throughout the command hall:

"Anti-matter Weapon Zero prototype, research and development successful, all tests passed. Lethality increased by 37 times, achieving stable output, directional annihilation, full platform compatibility, with no technical defects."

"We can immediately initiate the weapon update for the entire fleet, covering the Planet-Killing Main Cannon, Main Fleet turrets, and Dawn Mecha weapon systems."

The moment her voice fell, the Dawn's supreme command hall fell into dead silence, followed by an uncontrollable frenzy of joy!

Emperor Chen Fan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the star map, his black robe fluttering without wind. In his indifferent eyes, a trace of imperceptible sharpness finally flashed.

He had waited for this moment for too long.

The breakthrough of the Anti-matter Weapon meant that the Empire now possessed true global-destruction-level firepower. Whether it was planetary fortresses, interstellar fleets, mecha clusters, or the defensive lines the Freedom Alliance prided themselves on, they would be as good as non-existent in the face of anti-matter annihilation.

Xing Xi's holographic figure immediately stepped forward, data streams jumping wildly in her pale blue eyes as she conducted a global combat power assessment of the Anti-matter Weapon:

"Reporting to the Emperor! According to core computing simulations, after the Anti-matter Weapon is equipped, the Empire's single-ship firepower will increase by 41 times, mecha squad combat capability by 29 times, and the Planet-Killing Main Cannon, with the added anti-matter annihilation effect, can destroy a medium-sized planet in one strike!"

"Compared to Federation remnant combat power: Firepower suppression ratio reaches 1:147, absolute crushing."

"Compared to Freedom Alliance active Main Fleet: Firepower suppression ratio reaches 1:39, invincible at the same level."

"The Empire's comprehensive combat power has climbed to a new peak!"

The six commanders' fighting spirit instantly ignited, and they could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Commander Lei Meng took a step forward first, his gilded heavy armor clanking, his voice like a booming bell, shaking the hall slightly:

"Emperor! The Anti-matter Weapon breakthrough is a gift from heaven to our Dawn Empire! Please give the order for the Main Fleet to sortie in full, frontally block all Federation shipping lanes, space stations, and strongholds, cut off the enemy's retreat, and implement total crushing! With the Anti-matter Main Cannon, I, Commander Lei Meng, guarantee that Odin Planet will be flattened and Marshal Arthuron captured alive within three days!"

As a fleet commander, he knew best what the Anti-matter Weapon meant for an interstellar fleet—it was a unilateral massacre, an overwhelming crush with no suspense!

Shadows surged around Commander Ling Ye, and his cold, chilling voice carried bone-piercing murderous intent:

"The Shadow Fleet will immediately infiltrate stealthily to decapitate the Federation's remaining command centers and air defense positions, opening the way and breaking the points. Anti-matter micro-missiles can directly pinpoint and clear the Odin Planet command center, and Marshal Arthuron will have nowhere to fly."

Old Hu's burly body clenched his fists with a clang, his iron-blooded momentum soaring into the sky:

"The Ground Legion is on standby at all times, responsible for planetary landings, ground clearing, mineral star recapture, and permanent occupation! Every inch of land, every inch of Dawn! With the Anti-matter Weapon opening the way, the remaining Federation garrison will collapse without a fight!"

Commander Su Qingyue's figure appeared simultaneously on the holographic screen in the command hall, her cold voice adding:

"The Research Center will provide battlefield scanning, energy interference, and mothership support throughout the process. The energy frequency of the Anti-matter Weapon can completely suppress all Federation electronic systems, ensuring the Empire's absolute control over the battlefield information!"

Aila bowed, her body adorned with the Grey Race's divine runes shining brilliantly, and the logistics support plan was already fully generated:

"The Grey Race will immediately start resource inventory, mineral vein sealing, and full-throttle weapon production lines to equip the Anti-matter Weapon to the entire army as quickly as possible, ensuring the Imperial army can win when they fight, and hold when they win!"

Commander Ling Shuang stood at the Mecha Legion command console, her silver-white combat suit echoing with the Dawn Mecha, her voice cold and firm:

"The Dawn Legion and the Second Mecha Legion can switch to Anti-matter Particle Blades and portable annihilation cannons at any time. The Mecha Command is on standby, ready to sweep away all remaining Federation enemies as the vanguard!"

Xing Xi floated beside Emperor Chen Fan, her independent personality's eyes full of loyalty:

"Xing Xi has completed the linkage between the Anti-matter Weapon and the entire ship system. The mothership AI computing power is fully open, coordinating firepower distribution, battlefield scheduling, and enemy monitoring. The Eye of the Empire will never close!"

Everyone's gaze converged once again on that black-robed, gilded figure.

Emperor Chen Fan slowly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the alloy dome of the command hall, looking toward the distant remaining Federation territories, and toward the Freedom Alliance star domain that was still watching from afar.

The breakthrough of the Anti-matter Weapon had completely shattered the balance of power in the star domain.

The destruction of the Federation had entered a countdown.

The Freedom Alliance's hesitation would soon lose its meaning.

He spoke, his voice calm, yet carrying the supreme majesty of one who decides the fate of the stars. Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart:

"Very good."

"Commander Su Qingyue, first merit. Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan and the research team, reward based on merit."

"Pass on my Imperial Order: Immediately initiate the full-ship and full-legion weapon update plan, fully replacing existing energy weapons with the Anti-matter Annihilation System."

"First, Commander Su Qingyue, Chief Engineer Wei Zixuan, and Aila, the three of you shall coordinate the military production lines. Within seven days, complete the Anti-matter Weapon outfitting for the Dawn's main cannon, eight hundred main warships, and twenty thousand mechas."

"Second, Commander Lei Meng, the Main Fleet shall enter the combat route in advance. Once the weapon update is complete, immediately blockade the entire Federation territory and construct a net of death."

"Third, Commander Ling Ye, the Shadow Fleet shall be equipped with micro anti-matter missiles to infiltrate the Odin Planet air defense network and lock onto Marshal Arthuron and all hardline high-ranking officials."

"Fourth, Old Hu, Ground Legion landing craft shall be equipped with anti-matter assault cannons, ready for planetary landing, clearing remaining enemies, and permanent occupation at any time."

"Fifth, Commander Ling Shuang, after the two Mecha Legions complete their weapon replacement, they shall be stationed at the Vega main attack position as the spearhead for the general offensive."

"Sixth, Xing Xi, monitor the Freedom Alliance throughout. Once there is any abnormal movement, directly initiate the Star Destroyer + Anti-matter Weapon deterrence plan."

"Obey the Imperial Order!"

A thunderous roar shook the starry sky.

The six commanders, Xing Xi, and the entire army were filled with boiling blood and soaring fighting spirit.

At this moment, everyone understood—

The Dawn Empire was about to usher in a comprehensive sublimation of firepower.

The cold light of the Anti-matter Weapon was about to illuminate the entire galaxy.

And at this moment on Odin Planet, the Federation's supreme command center was still immersed in despair and waiting.

Marshal Arthuron stared fixedly at the Freedom Alliance's reply to his request for help; the screen showed only four cold words: "Alliance observing."

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the command console in front of him red.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

"These cowards of the Freedom Alliance, refusing to save us!"

"Emperor Chen Fan is about to flatten Odin Planet. Is our Federation's thousand-year foundation really going to be destroyed?"

The surrounding Federation high-ranking officials were ashen-faced and silent.

They didn't know that the reinforcements they were desperately waiting for would never come.

They didn't know even more that the Dawn Empire had already lit up a cross-era ultimate weapon, and that the anti-matter beam capable of annihilating everything had already locked onto every inch of Odin Planet.

Their doomsday had arrived.

Above the orbit of Black Stone Star, in the deep research area of the Dawn flagship, the silver-white light of the Anti-matter Weapon continued to circulate.

Commander Su Qingyue stood in front of the console, watching the jumping production line data, and a faint smile finally appeared on her cold face.

She had done it.

She had forged the sharpest God-Slaying Blade for the Emperor and the Empire.

The Anti-matter Weapon, with its lethality increased thirty-seven times, would become the Empire's most terrifying foundation for unifying the stars.

And this was just the beginning.

The full-ship weapon update was about to be fully launched.

When every warship, every mecha, and every turret of the Dawn Empire was equipped with the Anti-matter Annihilation System—

Firepower coverage, invincible at the same level!

The prologue of Chapter 137 was loudly unveiled—Full-ship weapon update! Firepower coverage, invincible at the same level!
