Chapter 1016: The Invisible Fleet
The wild laughter of Commander Yudal of the Monoceratus fleet, echoed through the headquarters of the Human Space Fleet for a few seconds.
Two pillar-like rays of light erupted across 300 million kilometers.
The Monoceros fleet has just passed through the wormhole and has not yet had time to adjust its direction and continue sailing.
The Hold and Counterattack, located on the surface of the Sun, fired at the same time, and the Gamma Star Destroyer cannon crossed the solar system and hit the flagship of the Monoceratus fleet.
Boom!
It only took 0.8 seconds for the energy shield of the Monocus flagship to shatter.
The Gamma Star Destroyer cannon hits the bow of the Monocerin flagship, and it looks like it is about to sink the enemy flagship.
At this moment, the Monocerate flagship emitted a circle of force fields, and the entire Monocerate fleet was powered at the same time, stretching out an even greater energy shield and enveloping the entire fleet.
After another 3.2 seconds, the Gamma Star Destroyer once again pierced the Negrocarpus Fleet Energy Shield.
When the energy shield was gone, the Monocerate fleet had entered a state of high-speed sailing, breaking away from the lock of the Gamma Star Destroyer.
The Gamma Star Destroyer lost its target and could no longer lock on to the Monocerate fleet, so it had to stop attacking.
Moreover, the Hold and the Counterattack, did not try again to find the Monoceros fleet for an attack, because it was impossible to hit again.
Because the first shot of the Gamma Star Destroyer Cannon can hit, it is because the Monocerate fleet cannot change its position at the first time after passing through the wormhole, and it is a standard fixed target.
One of the characteristics of the Gamma Star Destroyer Cannon is that it can only hit fixed targets.
Theoretically, any target that can change the direction of movement cannot be hit by the Gamma Star Destroyer.
In other words, the reason why the Gamma Star Destroyer Cannon is called a Star Destroyer Cannon is because it can only destroy stars.
The shot that hit the flagship of the Monocerata fleet was fired 15 minutes before it passed through the wormhole.
Because it takes a full 15 minutes for light to reach the location of the wormhole in the asteroid belt from the sun.
In order for the Gamma Star Destroyer to hit a target near an asteroid belt, it needs to be able to predict the target's position 15 minutes in advance.
As a result, after the Monoceros fleet moved, the Gamma Star Destroyer could no longer pose a threat to it.
……
"Where is the Monoceros fleet? Where is it now? Admiral Rhodes stared at the star map on the screen and shouted nervously.
"The Monocerate fleet has entered the curvature flight, which cannot be observed by optical instruments." A military staff officer replied.
After the Monoceratus fleet enters the curvature flight, the curvature speed can reach more than 10 times the speed of light.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to observe the Monocerate fleet with optical instruments.
"Where are they targeted?" Admiral Rhodes asked again.
This time no one answered, because no one knew exactly what the goal of the Monocerate fleet was until they got the exact information.
Because there are two goals for the Monoceros fleet? Could it be the Earth? It could also be the sun.
For Yudal, his goal is to destroy human civilization.
And the most direct and effective way to destroy human civilization? It is to destroy the earth.
So? It is possible that Yudal will send the Kirin fleet directly to Earth and carry out orbital bombardment.
Merely? The amount of energy required to destroy a planet is enormous.
If the Monocerate fleet consumes all forms of energy? Maybe destroy the planet? But this consumption is too great.
Because there are some forms of energy that are preserved, the price is high, such as the crystallization of energy at high energy levels.
So as long as Yudal's brain is okay? Will you definitely choose the most cost-effective way? That is to harness the energy of the sun.
However, there is a problem, and that is that the Palase lifeform does not have a brain organ.
So, it's hard to say what's going to happen next.
Admiral Rhodes pressed his hands on the table, his hands trembling with nervousness.
He didn't look at the time.
From the wormholes of the asteroid belt to the Earth? The speed of light is about 10 minutes.
At 10 times the speed of light, it only takes 1 minute.
Combined with the time it takes to start the curvature engine, it takes about one and a half minutes to reach Earth.
Admiral Rhodes watched the time pass by second by second? It's almost time to count.
"Did you find it? Where's the Monoceros?! He shouted again.
Command was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and a full three seconds passed.
A psychiatric probe slammed off his headphones? Shouted: "Found it!" On a straight course to the sun, a distance of 300 light-seconds! ”
A light second is a unit of distance? Similar to light years.
A distance of 300 light seconds? It's the distance that light travels in 300 seconds.
If it's 10 times the speed of light? In other words, the Monoceros fleet is still 30 seconds away from the Sun.
Admiral Rhodes immediately connected to the quantum communication and shouted: "Attention to the Circumsolar Defense Circle, enter the battle state, the Monocerate fleet has passed!" Arrival time, 30 seconds countdown! ”
Meanwhile.
In the vicinity of Mercury's orbit.
The Perseverance, the Counterattack, and the 800-ship human space fleet, as well as the Mercury Defense Matrix, form the Circumsolar Defense Circle.
"Around the solar defense circle, all rocket forces deploy to listen to orders, lock on to the target location, and launch antimatter bombs!"
On the Blue Star, the commander of the human space fleet gives the order to attack.
In the entire circumsolar defense circle, 3,000 six-missile launchers simultaneously launched antimatter bombs.
Eighteen thousand antimatter bombs, with flame tails, flew into empty space.
The picture is so similar to the situation when ten thousand swords return to their ancestors in the asteroid belt defense matrix, the same tens of thousands of antimatter bombs, flying out like a school of fish.
However, when you are near the asteroid belt, you can clearly see the target of the antimatter bomb.
And this time, there is no target in sight.
Yes.
In the direction in which the antimatter bomb flies, nothing can be seen.
There are no ships, no battleships, not even cosmic dust.
However, the antimatter bomb still flew like raindrops, like a barrage, covering the entire sky without missing a single corner.
Counterattack.
"Didn't see the battleship appear? With so many missiles launched, it won't be empty in the end, right? Niu Dazhi was a little nervous, so nervous that he didn't take a bite of the ham in his hand for ten minutes.
"You can see that there are ghosts. 10 times the speed of light, and by the time you see it, it can already hit you in the face 10 times. Eve rolled her eyes.
This is indeed the case.
Due to the curvature of the Monoceratus, the speed of the fleet is more than 10 times the speed of light.
Therefore, it is impossible to see the Kirin fleet flying towards with the naked eye.
By the time I saw it, it was already too late.
Therefore, the launch of antimatter bombs is purely through calculations, predicting the flight direction of the Kirin fleet and conducting large-scale interceptions.
Moreover, such calculations will be basically accurate.
Because when the spacecraft is sailing in curvature, it is very difficult to turn, and even the curvature engine of the general spaceship will not design the turning function at all.
