Chapter 491: Extreme Trial
"This is the other party's fortress? It's an incredible creature that can really survive in space......" Ishal was amazed as she looked at the image of the Immortals on the screen.
The dense tentacle-like moving roots illustrate the fact that the other party is still alive after entering space.
After the Immortals left Kara's orbit, Isar's pursuing fleet had already received the Immortals' optical images.
The Gemini's joint optical imaging system, built by multiple warships, is quite sharp, and even at such a long distance, the clarity of these images is quite impressive.
Although it can't achieve 4K image quality, it is more than enough to see the general outline of the immortals.
"With such a powerful cosmic creature, if our Gemini can be cultivated and controlled, then the military strength will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"
As a soldier, the first thing that thought of Ishar was the military value of the other party, and she was very excited.
The premise is that she can capture this creature relatively completely, but even if it is a corpse, I am afraid it will have extremely high scientific research value!
Thinking of some of his own laboratory analysis of the water of life, Ishar even boldly guessed that this magical water of life ...... Could it have something to do with the huge creatures in front of you?
Generally speaking, it is normal for some powerful guardian beasts to appear around the Heavenly Treasure......
At this moment, the adjutant beside Isal suddenly spoke, pulling her thoughts back.
"Your Excellency Isar, the appointment documents of the military department have come down, and in view of the complex situation in Proxima Centauri, it has been agreed that you will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
At the same time, the military department will also send a flagship and a senior Sea Clan commander to take over Gustav's work as soon as possible. ”
When Ishar heard this, she was not surprised, but nodded lightly.
As long as she received the official authorization from the military department, the Sea Clan fleet would not dare to disobey the order, at least not allow the enemy to continue to disrupt the deployment of her fleet in the name of Gustav.
"By the way, has the predicted course of that Battlestar been calculated?" Isal asked again.
"Yes, Your Excellency, this is the approximate course of the enemy predicted by the Brain through the gravitational model of Proxima Centauri."
A virtual star map of Proxima Centauri appeared in front of Isar, with a solid red line marking the path of the Immortals, and extending forward with a dotted line.
"It's ...... Are you sure the route is calculated correctly? Ishar frowned as she looked at the strange route.
Because the course of the Immortals extends forward in a curve...... It actually sank straight into the surface of Proxima Centauri!
This shows that if the other party does not change course, he will definitely plunge headlong into Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star in the main sequence stage, and although the surface temperature is not as good as that of the Sun, it is also about 4,000 degrees Celsius...... The kind that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"It has been calculated repeatedly, and it should be ...... You can't go wrong. The adjutant replied a little unconfidently, after all, such a channel is too close to the surface of the star, and it is no different from suicide to go on like this.
Could it be a false course that deliberately misleads us?
However, space navigation on a cosmic scale of tens of millions of kilometers at every turn is a fraction of a millimeter, a thousand miles wrong, and it is extremely fuel-intensive to slow down and change direction, so no one will deliberately pick a fake channel to deliberately detour for a while, even if it is to confuse the pursuers behind them.
And the channel calculation of the brain is already quite accurate, the more frequent you change direction, the easier it is to be shortcut by the pursuers behind you to close the distance, so it is impossible to make fake moves to get rid of the pursuers or anything in the space chase.
Then Ishar continued to look ahead along the predicted course......
The dashed line of the channel grazed the surface of the star and continued to extend, and after bypassing Proxima Centauri, it rushed straight towards the wormhole of the solar system!
"The other party should want to use the star as a gravitational slingshot to accelerate to the wormhole battlefield to complete the division, this should be true......" Isal looked at the star map and analyzed in his heart.
This analysis is largely in line with Ishar's previous guesses.
A lone space fortress, no matter how strong its defense and firepower are, there is no guarantee that it will be lost for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it is overturned.
What's more, the Immortals broke away from Kara, like a lone army deep behind enemy lines, without fuel and supplies, and under the siege of the twin fleets, they simply couldn't hold out for long.
Proxima Centauri is now the sphere of influence of Gemini, and for this space fortress, only by breaking out of the encirclement and reaching the wormhole of the solar system can it get a steady stream of logistical supplies from the solar system, and truly become a sharp sword inserted into the Proxima Centauri!
This voyage is like a 25,000-mile long march, as long as you can break through the sea clan fleet encircled in front of the wormhole and successfully join forces with the mecha army that all things will be one, it will be a great strategic victory, and the important chess piece of the immortal can be completely lived.
Then Nie Yun has a solid bridgehead in Proxima Centauri, and with the full support of the large rear of the solar system, it is enough to compete with the entire Gemini Pioneer Fleet!
At this point, Ishaar's strategic intentions for Nie Yun have basically been figured out, and I have to say that this is a rather bold plan...... It's quite bold, too!
"Gravitational slingshot acceleration", in aerospace dynamics and space dynamics, is a way to use the gravitational field of planets or other massive celestial bodies to accelerate a spacecraft, and throw it towards the target by changing orbits around the celestial body.
Theoretically, the smaller the orbital radius of the chosen object, the more obvious the acceleration effect will be.
However, when the distance between the two sides is close to a certain level, the accelerated target will be torn apart by the huge tidal gravity of the star, and the projectile's own strength will be insufficient, and it will even cause self-disintegration.
This limit distance is known in astrophysics as the "Loch limit"!
Judging from the Immortals' current course, if it wants to complete this gravitational slingshot acceleration that is almost a sideball, it will not only need to withstand the huge tidal tear, but also need to face the radiation heat of the star.
It's a dead end!
Even the well-informed Isal said she was a little puzzled.
Could it be that the other party spent so much effort to get this biological fortress out of the underground of Kara Star just to hold such a grand "stellar cremation" for it?
"Lord Isar, our detection equipment has detected that the enemy's biological fortress seems to be undergoing a strange change in appearance!" The adjutant spoke suddenly, interrupting Ishar's musings.
Ishar looked up a little puzzled, "Appearance change?" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, look, this is an optical image that we capture every 30 minutes!" Following the adjutant's words, a set of pictures appeared in front of Ishaar.
There are 10 pictures in total, each of which is a distant view of the immortals.
Through comparison, Ishar really found that the silhouette of the Immortal on it was indeed undergoing an astonishing change that was visible to the naked eye......
……
At this moment, the canopy of the immortal has gradually spread for hundreds of kilometers, covering the sky and the sun like an umbrella cover, and patches of green are rapidly budding on the canopy.
These newly grown green leaves greedily absorb energy 100 times more violently than the atmosphere under the intense stellar radiation to replenish their own consumption.
On the contrary, the roots shrink rapidly, and a large amount of nutrients enter the canopy.
There is no doubt that the Immortals are evolving their energy harvesting organs to adapt to the new environment in which they are located!
In fact, for an immortal with infinite evolutionary possibilities, the harsher the environment, the more it can stimulate its evolutionary potential, and the magical water of life will automatically help it evolve a stronger ability to adapt to the environment.
This is the secret that the Immortal took the initiative to reveal to Nie Yun in order to highlight the value of his existence.
Nie Yun naturally liked such an excellent employee, so in order to develop the potential of the immortals, he arranged an extreme trial for the immortals......
Immortal: "......" (⊙_⊙?) )
This road...... Something doesn't seem right?
There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first, boss!
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
