"We have to figure out why all unmanned machines will disintegrate as soon as they approach Satan, and we won't be able to do anything about it without solving this problem. ”

"Try it with a gravitational field, and maybe you can find out why by binding it. ”

"Then you need a super gravitational binder that can affect the galaxy......"

“......”

In the vast spiritual space, countless scholars are arguing.

Satan, a name of an evil god from the ancient earth age, in the ancient earth age texts, this name means the root of all evil. Scholars have given this name to the strange giant snake that is moving forward in space, which can be seen in the importance of the heart.

Scholars have tried many times to understand why unmanned machines crumble apart in an instant, but they have not been able to come to a conclusion.

It is true that their weapons are powerful, but if they can't reach their targets, they can't exert their might.

"Maybe we should send psykers to find out?"

Someone suggested.

Until then, scholars had used unmanned machines to explore Satan's secrets, but had never sent psionic warriors.

Although in this interstellar era, the combat method that relies on flesh and blood has been eliminated, just as on the battlefield with the roar of cannonballs, there will still be a group of sturdy special forces armed with short crossbows and daggers and silenced pistols, and there are naturally different role positioning on different battlefields.

Those warriors who have undergone the most cutting-edge genetic modifications and cultivated powerful psionic abilities from an early age are the perfect weapons in the minds of all generals.

Their numbers are extremely scarce, and they are often the elite of the elite who will only pick one among the trillions of interstellar humans, and all of them are extraordinary warriors who have been sharpened to the extreme. Even in the Second Republic, whose population is measured in megagrams, the total number of psionic warriors is only about one million most of the time.

You must know that the star sector of the Second Republic has expanded to more than 500,000, and each star sector often has a range of hundreds of light years and thousands of administrative planets, but these psionic warriors are rare, and on average, there are only two people in each star sector, and there will only be one person in every thousand administrative planets.

Such a cherished psionic warrior naturally has to be used on the battlefield where it is most needed.

But the academic conference quickly rejected the proposal.

Without him, if the psionic warrior went to investigate in person, then he would definitely not simply chase after that light, but should personally touch and even climb on the body of that behemoth. But at the speed of nearly light, the speed of time in the giant snake at this moment is actually extremely slow.

Although two galactic years have passed since the appearance of the giant serpent, and humans have tried to explore it dozens of times, for the giant serpent, which is moving at nearly the speed of light, it is actually like it has just set off for a few minutes.

If psionic warriors were indeed sent, it would be decades or even centuries before the academic conference waited for the returning psionic warriors.

So......

The president of the 7th Annular World Society stared at the model of the Milky Way star map in front of him.

"Let's set the location on the Hope Star. ”

A deep voice suppressed everything.

......

Hope, the first exoplanet colonized by humans, is located in a galaxy named after the famous colony spaceship "Far Traveler".

Unlike the destroyed Earth and Mars, it has survived wars, but it has survived in the end. Today, Hope has become a tourist scenery planet, and the number of people who settle here is small, but there are never a few interstellar tourists who visit Hope every year.

But in the past two years, the spread of a news has made the whole planet uneasy, and the "Star Eater" is about to come to the galaxy where the Hope Star is located.

Unlike "Satan", which scholars name, the populace prefers to call the star-devouring monster "Stareater", and judging from its direction, the destination of this star-eater is also the Star of Hope.

The local agency where Hope is located has repeatedly asked the Second Republic to annihilate the Star Eaters in order to protect the Star Eaters, but it is clear that the Second Republic is far more interested in studying the Star Eaters than in protecting a small, remote and uninhabited planet.

And in the year 20151 of the galactic calendar, two years after the discovery of the Star Eater, the decision of the Second Republic came down.

“...... All the inhabitants of Hope evacuated the Far Wanderer system...... The Far Wanderer System will serve as a location for the capture of Satan the Star Eater......"

If Second Republic's judgment is correct, then the Star Eater named Satan traveled to this galaxy 11 light-years away from the solar system in order to be able to prey on the stars of the Far Wanderer Galaxy. Here, then, the Second Republic can use the stars of the Far Wanderer galaxy to set a gravitational trap with the help of its powerful gravity well, restrain the Star Eater to escape, and finally successfully capture the Star Eater in this system.

Trading a tiny galaxy for a unique sample of the entire galaxy is a perfectly worthwhile idea in the Second Republic.

With nine years to go before the arrival of the Star Eater, the Second Republic will have plenty of time to set up defenses here.

"Nine years?"

Once again included in the project, Tiloan, who had helped capture the Star Eater, looked out into the dark and dead depths of space, and although he couldn't see anything, everyone knew that a space beast he had never seen before was coming.

......

The first line of defense is the first line of defense against gravity.

The first gravitational line of defense has been laid out on the periphery of the Far Wanderer system, and this gravitational line will be the first to weaken the target's velocity, lowering it from near the speed of light. Theoretically, if the effect is perfectly achieved, it may reduce the target to 93% of the speed of light.

The next few gravitational defenses are all based on the same concept, first slowing down this star-sized behemoth, and then using weapons to besiege it, and if the effect is good, it can directly capture the Star Eater at once.

Traps, sieges, just like hunters in ancient Earth times did when dealing with their prey.

"But what if the capture fails?"

Faced with the questions of some scholars, the president of the society said calmly.

"Then we have completed the second test and learned about the target's attack pattern and behavior?"

In the eyes of the academic conference, no matter what, they can achieve satisfactory results.

So, time flies, and 9 years pass immediately.

......

"It's an hour before the Star Eater arrives...... 50 min...... 40 mins ......"

On the heavily armed ship, the spaceship AI is alerting the time from time to time, while Tilloan stares at the misty space in front of him.

Unlike his previous remote command, Tyron could ensure his own safety, and now he was not testing the power of his weapon, but was engaged with the beast. Only in the midst of the gravity traps laid in this place can we have the opportunity to understand why all unmanned machines will disintegrate instantly, otherwise the speed is too fast to detect anything at all.

But approaching the Star Eater so closely, the danger can be imagined.

Tilloan kept recalling the previous tests, trying to find clues, but no one knew what was going on except for the inevitable flash of light each time.

"General Tiloan, rest assured, we will keep you safe. ”

Beside Tyron, four unusually tall psionic warriors spoke silently. Powerful psionic energy surged through their bodies, and complex psionic circuits flashed across their bare torsos to enhance the psionic powers of these warriors.

These psionic warriors, they have undergone special transformations since before they were born. In order to adapt to these complex psionic circuits, every muscle, every structure, from the bones to the skin, has been specially tuned to adapt to these psionic circuits.

After being born in an artificial womb, they undergo twenty-four standard surgeries to imprint the psionic circuits into their bodies, and even if you dismantle their corpses, the bones will clearly show the psionic circuits. And that's just the beginning, after which they go through a series of grinds, often it takes more than a hundred years for a qualified psionic warrior to take shape, and the elimination rate is so high that no one knows the true number except for a few people in the Second Republic.

By the standards of the past, Tyron was not even eligible for close protection from psionic warriors. No matter how high the status of the general is, there are hundreds of people in a star area, and only this time the situation is special, the Second Republic specially arranged four psionic warriors to protect Tiloan, and if the situation is not right, he will teleport in a short distance at any time to protect Tiloan and leave.

In this small Voyager Galaxy, there are countless unmanned machines and more than a dozen command ships at this moment.

In normal times, there may not be one psionic warrior in a star sector, but it can be seen everywhere here, and there are more than two hundred generals, auxiliary officers, and psionic warriors on each command spaceship.

This is not a miscellaneous soldier, all of them are elites who have spent a lot of resources to cultivate.

Behind these two hundred people, the resources consumed by each person are enough for millions of interstellar humans to spend their lives comfortably, and the massive resources poured into them have more than two hundred people.

It is conceivable that the Second Republic has indeed made a bloody contribution to this capture operation.

"The target has entered within 10 million kilometers of the first line of gravitational defense, please be prepared......"

As the first sight, in the data sent back by the subspace probe, billions of kilometers away, the huge light is crossing space at a speed beyond imagination, the speed of light is almost impossible to see, and the probe only has constantly refreshing data.

One million kilometers......

100,000 km ......

The target successfully entered the gravitational defense.

The invisible gravitational force was slowly dragging the target to slow it down, but the speed was still unimaginably fast, as if there was no delay, and the light directly broke through the first line of gravitational defense.

The second line of defense against gravity......

The third line of defense against gravity......

The fourth line of defense against gravity......

......

The Tenth Line of Defense of Gravity......

......

The twentieth line of defense of gravity......

It wasn't until the target approached the star's position that the target's speed dropped significantly, and it was no longer shrouded in a blurred light, but the outline of the skull and body could be faintly seen.

As the legend goes, it was indeed a huge serpent, with cold vertical pupils, a huge body that was difficult to see in space, and it was flying towards the star at the moment.

With the decrease in speed, the detector is finally able to function normally.

Somatotype......

Body Structure......

Spectrum......

Thermal energy distribution......

Gravitational field ......

After 11 galactic years, many basic data that should have been detected a long time ago were only truly known by the Second Republic after being blocked by the gravitational defense line. This alone completes the first step of information gathering, which was once skipped.

And then there were countless unmanned machines that attacked the huge beast......
