Chapter 619: A Lonely Wandering Assassin

"That's the legend...... Really* Iron Head Skill? ”

On the Fallen Angel, Nie Yun looked at the amazing picture on the screen in shock.

The arrogant fleet of the Locke Consortium just now, in just a few minutes, disappeared strangely under the dozen or so turns of the mysterious flying machine.

The rest of the ships scattered in panic, hoping to reduce the killing efficiency of the mysterious flying objects in a loose formation, but in just a few minutes, how far could they escape.

"The image is out!" Catherine brought up a picture of the analysis of the magnified brain.

Due to the distance, the speed of the thing is too fast, and it can only be restored to its original appearance through optical stitching technology, so the picture quality is not very clear.

However, it was vaguely recognizable as a strange spherical object with a dark color, seemingly entirely metallic, and sharp spikes on its surface.

Figurative words...... Much like a meteor hammer?

"The speed of that thing...... Seems to be on a downward spiral? Nie Yun stared at the trajectory simulation of the mysterious flying object on the screen, and immediately noticed the anomaly.

In comparison, Gemini's secret weapon has dropped by nearly one-tenth compared to its original speed.

"Is kinetic energy conserved......" Nie Yun immediately realized the problem.

While it's unclear why the thing was able to change direction instantaneously despite inertia, the energy loss from the collision still appears to be there.

Although the mass of the Locke Consortium's spaceship is not worth mentioning compared to the huge size of that thing, the more enemies it destroys, the more kinetic energy it loses, and the speed will naturally decrease.

Nearly 270,000 kilometers per second is still quite terrifying, but it also means ...... This thing is not invincible!

Once the speed drops below half the speed of light, relying on the ship's radar and maneuvering system, the success rate of evading the attack path will be greatly increased!

And the attack accuracy of this thing ...... It's really a bit touching, at most, it's just a bombardment around a coordinate.

"It's the Grim Reaper! That must be our most mysterious battle star, the Grim Reaper! Emilia, the captain of the Fallen Angel, shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked at her at the same time.

"My generation may not have heard much of it, but in my parents' generation, there was often a rumor about a 'ghost celestial body'!" Emilia spoke eloquently.

"It is said that smuggling ships that travel to and from various hidden passages all year round occasionally encounter a strange super-high-speed wandering celestial object, which cannot be captured by radar at all, and everyone can only see a fleeting signal.

But when they tried to follow the other person's path to find the object, they couldn't find any trace of it, so many people called it a 'ghost object'.

There has also been speculation that this 'ghost celestial body' is likely to be the 'Grim Reaper', the battle star that the dragon has never seen, but no one has ever found evidence.

Now it seems...... These things may well be true! ”

I see!

Through these clues, Nie Yun quickly thought of the closest truth.

Gemini has a secret treasure that can change the trajectory of objects in an instant......

They installed it on the Grim Reaper, a battlestar that roams the hidden passages off the beaten track all year round......

Gemini slowly accelerates it to near the speed of light by expending astronomical amounts of energy, serving as hole cards waiting for an irresistible enemy......

Since it takes a long time and energy to re-accelerate once the speed drops, this strategic weapon must not be easily slowed down if it is to be ready to go into battle.

It's like eating Xuanmai, and there is no way to stop......

Therefore, my brother wandered in the universe, and the universe only left the legend of my brother......

As for why the Gemini kept the existence of this thing a secret?

Although it is powerful and invisible, its weaknesses are equally obvious.

If the enemy knows about it in advance, the opponent can immediately make targeted arrangements for this weakness, such as placing a pile of large-mass high-density meteorites in the fleet array, or looking for various complex environments as battlefields......

Losing speed, it is not even as threatening as a battleship.

Like the White Dwarf Bomb, this weapon with an extremely obvious weakness can only be used unexpectedly for the first time!

Moreover, Gemini endured until the end and was forced to use this kind of mass killing weapon, obviously it is not a thing that can be used casually, and it must have huge limitations.

If that looks like that......

"Order the fleet, speed up the evacuation!"

Seeing that someone was about to move, as if he wanted to lose his headache and beat the water dog, Nie Yun hurriedly ordered.

At this time, if you don't take advantage of the other party's inability to take care of yourself, you will run away quickly, and there is a high chance that you will be eaten by the remnants of the opponent's fleet.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, in the face of the situation that had been completely dispersed and the attack efficiency had greatly decreased, the Battlestar "Reaper" seemed to have received some order, and never turned back after the last intersperse.

It flew away at a speed of more than 230,000 kilometers per second and quickly disappeared from everyone's radar.

In this short fifteen minutes, Kloros's fleet lost more than 1,000 warships, and the remaining 300 or so warships were still in shock.

They were like frightened birds, fearing that this assassin, who had hit the blow and had fled thousands of miles away, would once again come out of the deep space of the universe and give himself a fatal blow.

Luckily, the Grim Reaper's impressive attack accuracy saved Kroll's life, and his flagship miraculously survived, with a 1 in 5 chance that Kloros would be a lucky star.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the fleet of Nie Yun and the others was about to escape from the range of his own radar, knowing that the pursuit was hopeless, and at the same time worried that the opponent's secret weapon would return again, Klorus was unwilling to give the order to temporarily retreat.

At this point, this large-scale cosmic war has finally come to an end.

This battle has been full of ups and downs, and it can be described as a peak and a turn......

After both sides have played their hole cards...... Lose both!

And it wasn't until the remnants of Nie Yun and the others' fleet retreated to the Storm System under the orders of the military to wait for reinforcements, that they finally received true information about the Battle Star "Reaper".

Obviously, after this battle, the "Grim Reaper" naturally has no need to keep it secret, especially for "his own people".

And Nie Yun finally learned a little bit about that "secret treasure......

……

"Strange Objects of the Universe" ...... Unsurprisingly, this is the official name given to it by Gemini.

And according to the capabilities of this cosmic wonder, Gemini named it ...... "vector engine"!

In the fighters of the Earth, there is also the concept of "vector engine".

But the "vector engine" here is fundamentally different from the secret "vector engine" of Gemini.

Vector engine refers to an engine that can deflect the nozzle in different directions to generate thrust in different directions, such as the F35B vertical take-off and landing, which uses a vector engine that can deflect the nozzle.

But the cosmic curiosity that the Gemini obtained was completely different...... It has the super dream ability to change the motion vector of objects in an instant!

In other words, it is able to move from forward to backward, left and right, up and down, and the change of direction is completely free without loss of kinetic energy and velocity.

At first glance, this vector engine seems to be a drag racing artifact at best.

And because it is completely impossible to analyze mass production, a vector engine can at most create a super battleship with super power.

Gemini did do this, but a super-powerful warship is actually quite limited in a large-scale battlefield where hundreds or thousands of people can easily do so.

Accurate and thick shields are the most important combat indicators of starships.

And once the opponent's brain understands the capabilities of the vector engine, it is difficult to avoid even the erratic maneuvering method of the vector engine.

So Gemini opened its brains again and started the attempt of ultra-high-speed battleship + vector engine.

However, it was later discovered that the application of this thing in ship group operations was a disaster, and due to "speeding", the plan was forced to be suspended three months later due to "drag racing crash".

In the end, Gemini learned from the pain and found another way, and decided to take the "speed advantage" of the vector engine to the extreme, that is, to destroy the enemy with collision and cultivate the iron head skill!

However, if the mass of a celestial object is too small, the speed of the impact will have to be reduced by more than half, and it will take a long time to re-accelerate if you want to use it, and it is completely disposable.

Thus, the "lonely wandering assassin" ...... The construction plan of the all-metal battlestar "Reaper" is finalized!
