Silicon Invasion

Although the M-7 is an old model from decades ago, its speed can still easily reach Mach 2.

A091 discovered the two M-7s before anyone else in the cabin. It had never seen anything so fast. The rolling thunder only arrived belatedly after they had flown by.

Although the M-7's fuselage is only a dozen meters long, less than half the size of A091, A091's green agate-like eyes still narrowed slightly.

This was its way of showing sufficient respect to its opponent.

As the aerial overlord of the Maikan, it instinctively sensed that these newly arrived "little guys" were far more threatening than the passenger plane beneath it.

It had to strike first!

In another world, there are no allies or kindred. A091 decisively chose to attack first.

With a furious roar, a beam of green light erupted from its mouth. Compared to its previous restrained attacks, this beam was thicker and brighter, clearly containing more energy.

However, the M-7 is not a civilian airliner like the BD1891. As an air superiority fighter, the M-7 is formidable in terms of both its early warning systems and maneuverability.

A091's beam-type attack is not instantaneous; it involves an energy-gathering process. With such a powerful accumulation of energy, it was impossible for the M-7's built-in observation and early warning device not to detect it.

The green beam streaked through the sky like a fruit knife cutting a cake, but the M-7 was faster and more agile. The green beam was always a step behind it.

Five seconds later, the beam disappeared, and A091 shook its head uncomfortably, its eyes revealing solemnity.

On the other side, a group of people also looked grave. The M-7 was equipped with an advanced visual capture system, allowing the Blue Star humans to see the full appearance of the Maikan visitor for the first time at close range.

It resembled some kind of bird, but its body was covered in metallic scales, telling people that it was not that simple.

"The metal increases its weight. According to aerodynamics, it is impossible for it to fly by flapping its wings."

"There are unknown energy reactions at its wings. Look at those electric arcs; perhaps it's some kind of electromagnetic propulsion."

"A silicon-based beast of this size must have multiple mechanical structures. It's reasonable to have an electromagnetic accelerator. Otherwise, what kind of bird could catch up with an aircraft traveling at 1,000 kilometers per hour?"

"That's right, no need to be alarmed!"

At the ground command center, experts from various fields in the emergency response team were making some speculations and analyses based on the images returned by the M-7.

Previously, a skilled cook could not make a meal without rice. Their full bellies of knowledge could not be applied because the necessary conditions were missing, but now they finally had a use for their skills.

"That was close. Although this attack is not instantaneous, once launched, it's comparable to the speed of light. If the silicon-based beast's neck wasn't so inflexible, we would have lost at least one M-7."

"Have the M-7s spread out a bit, don't let them be taken out in one fell swoop."

"Don't worry, even with A091's size, the energy core it carries is huge, but the energy output per unit of time is limited after all, and this kind of beam weapon is definitely an energy hog. I predict it can't attack continuously."

"Predictions are still just predictions. We need to remain cautious and proceed according to the original plan!"

A091 looked at the two M-7s circling around it, its eyes growing increasingly solemn. Those two little things also contained those parasites.

It seemed that the natives of this alien world had already been enslaved by these parasites. This tragic fate filled its heart with sorrow.

Although it didn't know if the parasites of this alien world would be effective against itself, which came from Maikan, it decided to stay away and observe first.

However, it didn't know what the situation was in this alien world. Why could the natives here fly so fast? It had to try its best to keep up with the big guy below it, but looking at the other two natives circling around, it didn't even have the idea of competing in speed.

As a powerful being making a living in the sky, it knew too well the importance of speed. If they were that fast, and if the other party adopted a suicide collision attack, the power would be enough to make its teeth ache, and it might not be able to dodge it.

It hoped they cherished their lives.

"What do we do now? We can't just keep stalling like this, can we? How long has BD1891 been holding on?"

"Can Eagle One and Two try to attack?"

"No, A091 is too close to the passenger plane. The probability of collateral damage is too high!"

"Damn it! Is there any way to lure it away?"

"Perhaps we can have the M-7s make an attacking move to scare it off."

"No, the animal kingdom judges strength based on size. A strong creature is usually enraged when provoked by a creature smaller than itself."

"Then what do we do? We have to have a plan!"

"Look! Something's changing!"

A shout drew everyone's attention back to the live feed. A091 was flapping its wings, and there seemed to be a slight lag.

In a flight that had been out of control for hundreds of kilometers, even a slight lag was enough to create a large gap. A091 stopped in place, intending to turn around, while the passenger plane continued forward.

"It's going to run!"

"Good opportunity!" The pilot of one of the M-7s keenly sensed the opportunity. The fire control radar instantly locked onto A091. With a light press of a button, an air-to-air missile would be launched.

The killing intent was ethereal, but A091 did sense something. Having experienced many life-and-death struggles, it made the most correct decision. As its wings flapped, electric arcs flickered. Its massive body suddenly darted forward, returning to the underside of BD1891's belly.

The dangerous aura disappeared, and A091 immediately understood that the other party, like itself, also possessed some kind of deadly long-range offensive weapon.

This was going to be difficult.

Fortunately, although it didn't know why, the big guy next to it didn't resemble those two smaller ones in the slightest, but those two small fierce things seemed to care a lot about the big guy's life and death. Perhaps it was because the parasites within them came from the same source?

But this wasn't a solution either. Even if the other party didn't attack, it couldn't keep flying like this forever. This was their territory, after all. What if a few more of those little guys came? Wouldn't it be even harder to escape then?

The clever A091 understood this, and it had to leave here as soon as possible. Soon, it had a plan.

While flying under the passenger plane, A091 suddenly raised its head, and its sharp beak quickly struck the fuselage hard several times. Piercing wounds formed a continuous line, and some of the steel plate armor was torn off by the hurricane, damaging the overall structure of the aircraft.

"Captain, Captain!"

The environment in the cockpit was very harsh. Several huge gashes left the pilots in a state of hypothermia, and the oxygen in the cabin was almost completely depleted. The thin air made their heads feel dizzy.

The captain was the oldest and had exerted the most effort along the way. After switching to autopilot with a sense of resignation, the breath he had been holding on to suddenly relaxed.

After discovering that their reinforcements had arrived, he relaxed further, and the fatigue of his mind instantly surged up. Before long, he was in a semi-conscious state.
