Chapter 976: Star Destroyer Cannon! Over-range strikes
For the next half hour, the triangular pyramid spacecraft released a ring, which continued to expand, enclosing the ship in the middle.
When the ring expands to a diameter of ten kilometers, it lights up with a halo of light and begins to absorb the sun's heat and rays.
"Is it absorbing the sun's energy? This is in ...... Charge? ”
Seeing the triangular pyramid spacecraft begin to absorb the sun's light and heat, many people's first reaction is to feel like they are "charging".
After all, the act of charging is all too familiar to humans.
"It shouldn't be possible, for advanced civilizations, mass is energy, if you really want to replenish energy, you just need to take away the hydrogen element on the sun, there is no need to carry out such a complicated action."
Soon, some researchers made a reasonable analysis and rejected this speculation of "charging".
Followed by.
The apex of the triangular pyramid spacecraft, directly facing the tip of the earth, cracked into three petals, and suspended around the spacecraft, revealing what looked like an "electrode needle" in the middle.
Then, the "electrode needle" began to light up, and it was impressively focused on the energy.
In the analysis team, someone suddenly exclaimed: "It's not charging, it's charging, it can't be a laser cannon, right?!" ”
This exclamation came out, and most people felt the same way.
From the screen, the entire triangular pyramid ship looks like a laser cannon.
Moreover, the side length of this laser cannon reaches 1677.3 meters, which is a very scary length.
The human-made beast guard is a one-based cannon, with a barrel length of only 107 meters.
Even so, the space-based cannons have ruled the skies of the beast planet.
Now, a giant cannon with a length of 1677.3 meters has appeared on the sun, what does it mean?
And this is also a cannon of high civilization.
A suffocating aura permeated the hearts of everyone.
"Impossible. I guess it's just a charge. Does it want to fire from the sun? Some people have doubts in their hearts.
Before that, no one could have imagined such a situation.
The rings emitted by the triangular pyramid spacecraft continue to absorb the sun's energy, converging on the cannon muzzle at the top.
The light emitted by the focused energy became more and more intense, forming a blinding point of light on the solar flare.
"Immediately analyze the possibility of the Cleaner ship firing from the sun!" Admiral Rhodes had a serious expression and immediately ordered the teams of various departments to analyze it.
Before that.
Humanity has been actively preparing for a doomsday showdown with the Cleaners.
To this end, space battleships are built from the dockyard, ascended into space, and joined the space fleet.
In just three years, mankind has built a large-scale space fleet, and it is full of confidence to compete with the civilization of the Cleaners.
However, no one could have imagined that it was possible that this battle would not exist from beginning to end.
Soon, the General Staff gave preliminary results of the analysis.
"It takes 8 minutes and 18 seconds for light to reach the Earth from the sun. If the Cleaner ship fires a laser-type weapon, it can indeed strike Earth from the sun with solar energy. ”
This answer is somewhat hopeless.
With the sun on its back, the Cleaner ship has an infinite supply of energy.
If its weapons could reach Earth from the sun, then the situation would be similar to how humans bombarded the Star Beast civilization with the Beast Guard's Day-based cannon.
Complete air crushing.
When the scale of warfare expanded to the extent of star systems, there was no concept of air supremacy.
Air supremacy has evolved into something else, called "over-range strikes".
That is, to hit targets at super distances.
The Beast Guard's Day-based Cannon can be seen as an over-range strike.
The Star Beast Civilization has basically nothing to do with the Beast Guardian's space-based cannon, but can only be beaten.
Human beings once used this means of "over-distance strike" to deserve the war against the Star Beast civilization.
Now, it is about to face the "over-range strike" of a higher civilization.
Moreover, there is no way to resist.
Originally, humanity was ready to fight the purge to the death, even if it was to gamble on the entire space fleet.
However, for the first time, the cruelty of the universe is revealed to humanity.
The Purgeer civilization has not given humanity any chance to resist.
Humanity has assembled a huge space fleet, but now it is like a bunch of toys that do nothing.
"Can you confirm that it's an 'over-range strike'?" Admiral Rhodes took a deep breath and asked again.
"Judging from the total amount of charge, it has exceeded the normal charge energy of a spaceship, and it must be charging weapons. This must be an 'over-range strike' weapon, and judging from the results of starlight spectrum analysis, it should be gamma rays! The staff analysis team gave a desperate answer.
Gamma ray.
The most powerful ray in the universe.
With enough energy, it can even destroy a planet.
"How long does it take to recharge? How much time do we have left? Admiral Rhodes will continue to ask questions.
"According to the progress of charging, the gamma ray cannon will be fired in 12 hours." The General Staff gives an estimate of the time.
"Is there a countermeasure?" Admiral Rhodes asked again.
No one answered this time.
Because everyone knows the answer.
How desperate the Star Beast Civilization was in the face of the Beast Guard's Day-based Giant Cannon, how desperate the human race is now.
The distance between the sun and the earth is too far for human beings today.
An advanced civilization that can launch a stellar system-scale "over-the-range strike" is not something that a planetary civilization like humans can compete with from the beginning.
Collapse rhetoric began to emerge in some human nations.
"I knew that there was no chance of winning from the start."
"What about the Divine Servants? That may be the only chance to live. ”
There are even human nations that have begun to compete for space on transport ships, trying to escape the earth before destruction strikes.
What's even more desperate is that for gamma-ray weapons, the speed of disemboweling is the speed of light.
Therefore, humans can't even see the firing action of the Cleaner spacecraft, because the moment they see it, the gamma ray cannon has already bombarded the earth.
……
The Supreme Council of Human Civilization has not given up.
Admiral Rhodes asked again: "Is it possible for the Space Fleet to take the initiative to prevent the Cleaners from firing?" ”
"The probability is zero, at the current speed of the space fleet, it will take at least ten days to depart from Earth and reach the Sun. At this time, it may be that the earth no longer exists. The General Staff gave an answer.
This is called "over-range strike", and the opponent does not even have a chance to counterattack.
When this was understood, some countries began to think that the space fleet should be full of human elites and escape from Earth within 12 hours.
It's not a nice plan to say, but it's a way to keep a part of humanity alive.
It's just that if this is done, the surviving part of the people will have to wander in the universe, and the future is also uncertain in the deep space of the universe where resources are scarce.
