Shortly after entering this closed galaxy, the Flying Sky was attacked by a mysterious attack!

"What's attacking us, Xiaokong?" Yun Xinghe asked Zhi Brain.

"It's some very small devices, these devices are very slow, and I've been left behind!"

But the images are very blurry, and it has something to do with the speed of the Flying Sky.

The speed of the Flying Sky is still 0.5C, and it is normal for the mysterious attack device to not be able to catch up with the Flying Sky.

"Sora, slow down a little and see what the hell is chasing us behind?"

"Yes!"

The Feitian adjusted the direction of the engine nozzle, began to reduce its speed, and made a certain turning maneuver, so that the rear pursuit device could keep up.

In this way, after more than 30 hours, the speed of the Feitian dropped to 0.3C, and the pursuit device in the rear almost accelerated to this speed, getting closer and closer to the Feitian.

In a straight line, there are only 5 light minutes or less.

Through the high-powered photoelectric observation device at the tail of the Feitian, Yun Xinghe and they finally saw the complete appearance of the tracking devices in the rear.

The number of tracking devices is about a hundred.

The size is very small, not as large as a dormant chamber.

The appearance is smooth as a mirror, the shape is like a falling water droplet, and the line shape is smooth and crystal clear.

Drop.

This kind of device, Yun Xinghe heard the old man in his head describe, is the masterpiece of this civilization in front of him - a "water droplet" made of strong force materials.

It is said that the surface of this device is extremely smooth without any friction, and the outer shell is extremely hard and difficult to break.

Water droplets are very destructive to other objects.

There is even a loud nickname - the primary civilization reaper.

It is said that there was once a civilization that had just stepped out of the planet and built a starfleet with thousands of warships, with great ambitions to conquer another alien civilization in the adjacent galaxy.

But halfway through, the starfleet encountered a drop of water, and in less than two hours, the fleet was completely wiped out and all became space junk.

In the face of such heavy losses, the hardliners of this primary civilization were speechless and vowed to fight to the death, while the compromisers and capitulationists rose in momentum and were elected to power by pessimistic and desperate voters, expressing their willingness to give up all resistance and only hope that the higher civilization would give them a way out.

It is precisely because of the huge destructive power of water droplets that this weapon is strictly prohibited from being used in the "Galactic Civilization Convention", but the binding force of this convention is limited, and it is still common to hear that a certain civilization is about to go out of the planet and prepare to show its strength in the starry sky, but it was completely destroyed by an unknown water droplet, and the news that the vitality was greatly damaged, this water drop was released by the unscrupulous person, it is unknown, but for the primary civilization, the water droplet is indeed a destructive weapon that cannot be resisted.

And for a civilization of this level of the Blue Star Federation, although there is a certain threat, it is not a big threat.

Because there is a weakness in the water droplets.

Weakness one, limited to the volume of the internal power system, the speed of the water droplet is very slow, no more than 0.3C, as long as the speed of the spacecraft is faster than 0.3C, the water droplet cannot catch up, naturally there is no threat.

Weakness 2, the strong force material that constitutes the shell of the water droplet, the surface is extremely smooth and hard, but it is not without a material with the same degree of strength, and it is hard to collide with it.

If there is a piece of S-level force gold that is thick enough and large enough to deal with water droplets, you can shoot the water droplets around like a soldier table tennis.

In addition, the destructive power of water droplets still lies in their speed, and the energy reserves inside them are limited, not the so-called "perpetual motion machine", once the energy is exhausted, the water droplets will also become useless garbage floating in space.

Therefore, Yun Xinghe, who knows this, deliberately slows down Xiaokong, and hangs the appetite of the "water droplets" behind him, sometimes accelerates and widens the distance, and sometimes slows down to reduce the distance, and tries his best to consume the energy reserves inside the water droplets, and once it becomes space junk, he will find a way to capture it and study it carefully.

"Small-caliber laser cannon, attack!"

Gu Fan controlled the weapons on the spaceship, trying to attack those water droplets to see if there was any attack effect.

An orange-red laser shot straight for the water droplet.

After hitting a water droplet, the laser reflects off the reflection of a mirror.

"Energy attacks don't work. Gu Fan said.

"Try a physical attack, launch a missile. ”

"Missile aiming has been completed, launch!" Gu Fan pressed the missile launch button, and several missiles, dragging the light flame, flew towards the water droplets.

Two hours later, several fires appeared in the rear, and the missiles hit the target.

But it didn't work, and the surface of the droplets remained intact and continued to chase the Flying Sky unhurriedly.

"Try a missile with a nuclear warhead, if that doesn't work, I'm afraid only the engine in the tail of the Feitian, which shoots out high-energy particles that can cause a little damage to water droplets. ”

Yun Xinghe said.

What is the most powerful weapon on a spaceship?

Not a main gun mounted directly in front.

It is the engine of the tail section.

The high-speed particles ejected from the engine nozzle can reach more than 0.9 times the speed of light in the spiral acceleration force field, and the particles at this speed can not only provide huge reverse thrust, but these high-energy particles, hitting any object, can cause huge destructive force to it.

But unfortunately, this attack is only effective against targets directly behind the butt of the ship, and the angle of fire is embarrassing.

In addition, the tail nozzle of the engine is in the shape of a radial chrysanthemum, and the particle beam cannot be concentrated, and all kinds of factors come down, and it is just an unrealistic fantasy to kill and injure the enemy by relying on the engine nozzle.

"Boom~Boom~"

Behind the Feitian, two brilliant fireworks lit up, and a nuclear missile with an explosive yield of about 5,000 tons exploded, hitting water droplets.

After the brief explosion ended, Yun Xinghe looked into the screen, and the water droplet device was still there—although it had been blown upside down for some distance, the surface was still unscathed.

"Slow down and let the droplets get closer to the ship. ”

The multiple attacks didn't work, and Yun Xinghe could only try one last move.

5 light division, 3 optical division, 30 light second, 1 light second ......

The last distance is 0.001 light seconds, a distance of less than 300 kilometers.

The Feitian adjusted its attitude and used the main engine in the tail to aim at the water droplets not far behind.

"Maximum afterburner start!"

With an order, Zhi Brain Xiaokong suddenly turned on the active engine in the center of the tail of the Feitian at maximum afterburner.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

The acceleration of up to 10G in an instant made the backs of everyone in the seat "bang" and slammed into the back of the chair, and the loose muscles on the face were all squeezed behind the ears, and the expression was distorted and painful.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The blue tail nozzle of the engine, a large number of high-speed particles ejected, formed a dense barrage, obscuring a cone-shaped channel-like area behind it, covering the water droplet device that did not have time to dodge.

"Click!"

Under the blow of countless high-energy particles, the smooth surface of water droplets, and in the countless invisible explosions and fires, countless micro-cracks suddenly appeared, and with the increase of high-speed particles hitting the surface, the cracks continued to extend and expand.

The water droplets made of the strong force material have finally been hit with extreme fatality.

"Whoa!"

Like a fine ceramic, with a bang, the water droplet shattered into countless pieces.

The water droplets, finally completely destroyed.

……

Five days later.

The Flying Space successfully captured a droplet of water that, due to its depletion of energy, ended up turning into space junk.

Inside the ship's science laboratory.

Through various methods, the hard shell of this water drop was successfully cut.

"God, how is this possible?"

"Incredible!"

"The internal structure of this water droplet is more complex than that of a planet. ”

"There are at least a billion parts in existence, and there is a microscopic reactor that is less than the size of a fist, and the total length of the various lines inside is more than one astronomical unit. ”

It can be said that the precision of this device is much higher than that of the Feitian, and the number of parts is also ten times that of the Feitian. ”

"To what extent is the civilization of this star system proficient in precision machining technology?"

Lan Xiulong kept exclaiming, his face in disbelief.

You must know that the development trend of scientific and technological equipment has always been in the direction of modularization, simplification, and batching, the more sophisticated and complex the device, the more difficult it is to manufacture, the more parts of the equipment, the higher the failure rate, and the man-hours and costs consumed will become unbearable.

This civilization has done the opposite, achieving the ultimate in refinement.

The spirit of craftsmanship has been carried forward to the extreme.

"If this water droplet is magnified 10,000 times and made into an object as big as the Feitian, the Feitian will not have the slightest chance of escaping. ”

Berekov said, turning a little strange: "Why don't they make the droplets bigger?"

"yes, why don't you make it bigger?" asked Sugaru as well.

"This may have something to do with the characteristics of this civilization, these aliens, it is easy to make things small and fine, but they are not necessarily good at enlargement. They are very proficient in small systems, but it can be very difficult for them to integrate a large system into a simple and practical one. ”

"Isn't that the case with our people of the Federation? The parts they produce are very good and unmatched, but if they are asked to enlarge things, even if they are doubled, they are like they have encountered a world-class problem, and they are at a loss and difficult to solve. ”

"This civilization must be a civilization with many skilled craftsmen, but there are small advantages, big benefits, if this civilization can only produce offensive weapons such as 'water drops', for us, this civilization should be very easy to deal with. ”

Yun Xinghe said with a smile.
