Chapter 128: Heavenly Eye
There was a noise in the air, the sound of objects rubbing against the air as they moved at high speeds, and bright luminous objects broke through the sea of clouds in the night, leaving a huge hole in the clouds.
If the glare is removed, it is a rocket-like object, with a long cylindrical body, the top head is a cone, and the silver-white metal shell is attached to the crimson flame that can instantly vaporize a bucket of water.
From these slowly rising, rocket-like objects, radio waves are radiated.
"This is the 'Sky Eye' cluster entity 0823, the current altitude is 67 kilometers, the functions of various organs are functioning normally, the current fuel is 77% left, the horizontal gyroscope is stable, and the report is complete."
"This is Hogu, after receiving the report, you will change orbits after entering the ionosphere, and cut into the fourth orbit at an angle of 56 degrees, and I will provide you with real-time coordinate system data information."
"Understood."
After the call ended, the rocket-like entities began to abandon their own tail fuel tanks that burned out propellant one by one, and their speed continued to increase due to the weight reduction, soon reaching twelve kilometers per second.
At this speed, the distance of thirty-five kilometers in the middle layer is a 'short' distance that they can cover in just a few seconds.
After a few seconds, the mesosphere is broken through and enters the thermosphere, also known as the ionosphere, where the low temperature of the mesosphere is warmed up and has a vertical height of more than 400 kilometers.
At this height, the objects also burned out the fuel in their last section of the propulsion column, disconnected and discarded, and another section of the load was discarded.
Their lateral propulsion nozzles ignite hydrogen and oxygen fuel, slowly changing their vertical elevation angles, and keeping an eye on the information of the built-in gyroscopes, while Hogu is also radioing real-time coordinate system information to them, so that they can more intuitively understand their current position and orbit.
The oblique angle makes the distance beyond the ionosphere longer, but this behavior is the least time-consuming option when amplified into the overall action plan.
Nearly an hour later, the objects enter their predetermined orbits, at which point the centrifugal force of their orbit around the planet is equal to the gravitational force.
However, this is far from the end, as the internal changes of these living beings have changed, leaving only a cone in their shell with a cone of cracks, which are then completely shattered by the operation of the internal muscles, unfolding into a flat structure like a sunflower.
"This is the Sky Eye system, and all the organs are working well and there is plenty of sunlight."
"This is Hogu, I've received your signal, communication is good, check the fuse to see if it's working properly."
"Checking ......"
"The inspection was complete, the fuse worked well, and it was not affected."
Because of what happened last time, Huo Guxue obediently placed a fuse inside the receiver of these individuals, as long as the current strength is too large, the fuse will be blown out, and there will be no situation like last time, because the radio power is too strong, and the entire cosmic organism will be directly electrocuted.
When the fuse is blown out, the receiver loses the ability to receive the radio, but don't worry, the fuse can be reconnected if it is broken, and it can control its own collector to a certain extent.
"How's the focus, can you calibrate the target?"
"No problem, it can be calibrated."
"Well, then radiate the radio pulses, we don't have that much time."
"Follow your will."
Strands of radios are released, they diffuse at the speed of light, and when they come into contact with an entity, they bounce back again, and by calculating the round-trip distance, the distance parameter on a straight line can be obtained, and the exact position of the object in space-time can be obtained by two such interleaved data parameters.
The greater the number of interleavements, the more information can be used, and the smaller the probability of error, which is the same as people looking at objects with two eyes, so they are called 'heavenly eyes' by Hogu.
The speed of light is very fast, that is the highest speed of any information-carrying matter in the material world, it is the upper limit of speed, and nothing can surpass it.
The Alien Fourth Fleet took more than two hundred Earth days to cross, and it only took about half an hour or so for the radio to end its journey.
"Commander, an unknown pattern signal has been detected!"
"Is it a colony's communication signal?"
"No, this kind of signal is not encrypted, it is just an ordinary regular band signal."
The commander of the fleet was visibly stunned for a moment, lost in thought, and suddenly gave an order.
"Turn on the fleet channel and order all warships to enter a state of quasi-combat readiness, recharge their armor, and be ready for defense at any time."
"Uh......"
The communicators were obviously a little confused by the commander's order, and the quasi-combat readiness was a state that they only entered when the enemy was about to engage in a firefight, but now they were still at a considerable distance from the target star.
Needless to say, charging the armor consumes a lot of energy, and when traveling in deep space, there will be no follow-up supplies, even if it is now possible to use nuclear energy on warships, it still can't be squandered.
Ready to defend? What to defend against?
He couldn't understand the purpose of the commander's order, but he did it anyway, because he was only a soldier, and the soldier's duty was to obey the orders of his superiors.
After the order was given, the entire fleet did not change much, the speed did not decrease, and the bow of the ship was still pointed directly at the position of Twilight, except for the occasional flash of electric arcs on the armor, proving that the commander's order was really implemented.
With the endless starry sky as the background, a big battle slowly kicked off.
The Eye Systems built by the Eye Eyes do not have the ability to attack, they exist to be able to lock onto targets, just like the eyes of predators on Earth.
Now that the prey is locked on, it's time to show its fangs.
Huge structures that have sprung up from the ground like mushrooms have sprung up like towers.
With so many megastructures built, Hogu is a veteran of land preparation, with long vertical tracks, huge structures that rise above the ionosphere, and are topped by orbital weights.
That's right, this is the structural design of an orbiting satellite, but it was designed by Hogu not to deliver material to outer space, but to exist as a 'fang' to attack the enemy.
"I'm still waiting for three hours......"
[Can this thing really hit those enemies?] 】
Twilight is a little incomprehensible to the structure designed and manufactured by Huo Gu that needs to be straightened by orbital weights, this thing is indeed very long, but it is limited to the surface environment, and when placed in space, it is similar to a hair, and the length is limited.
"You can see it."
