Chapter 16: Let's Get Together
(Thanks to the newcomer for their support: Seventeen Nights of Rain_17)
"Civilization from the abyss? Particle harvesting technology? "Zhao Yiyi became a curious baby.
If you don't understand, just ask, don't pretend to understand. This is a matter of my own life, but it is not the time to be shy.
Hilde was a good captain and patiently explained, "The Maso Garda civilization belongs to the chaos camp.
'Civilization from the abyss' is what they call themselves, probably like a reason for the villains to give themselves a fierce and majestic name.
In addition, because its civilization was conceived in the nebula, the living environment is relatively harsh.
The Maso Garda civilization is an interstellar wandering civilization, and in order to cope with the long starry sky travel, their achievements in 'particle collection technology' are not trivial. โ
"Here's how the particle harvesting technology works.
Space is not empty, but filled with a large number of particles. Stellar radiation, supernova explosions, the movement of stars, the movement of galaxies, the tidal fluctuations of quantum, the cosmic background radiation, etc., all produce a large number of particles.
The most diverse types of particles are hydrogen atoms, helium atoms, water molecules, and some small nuclear particles such as ฮฑ particles. Most of these can be used as fuel for nuclear fusion.
In the starry sky, the distribution of particles is extremely uneven, and there will be obvious enrichment effects near massive stars, gravitational traps, stellar shells, and supernova shock wave edges.
Spaceships with particle collection technology can increase endurance by 10% to 60% depending on technology, route, etc.; If you sail in a place where interstellar dust is dense such as a nebula, you can even do it without stopping.
It is said that the spaceship of the Maso Garda civilization can never stop. โ
Zhao Yiyi reacted for a while, and then asked another question: "Since it is an interstellar wandering civilization, is it possible that their fleet has approached the Aslant system in the real world?" โ
This time, Heard nodded seriously, "That's what I'm most worried about right now." โ
With that, Heard took a deep breath and said to everyone, "Guys, we may have to take some risks. โ
The elf nodded, didn't speak, just gently stroked the six-barreled cannon beside him.
The golden wyvern roared, spread its wings and danced a few times, with a fighting stance.
Sincintikule fluttered up and down, her little tail fluttering like a weed.
Zhao Yiyi didn't say anything, just sat quietly.
"So, let's go!" Hilde waved his hand, high-spirited; But there is also a faint sense of anxiety.
The battleship began to accelerate, but the impetus for acceleration came not from the battleship and the engine, but from Sincintikule. There's also a little bit of gravitational pull from the large gas planet Salmi.
Such acceleration (power) is relatively weak, but it is better than concealment. Xinsintkule's ability can make the opponent's reconnaissance methods all ineffective.
There is no engine tail flame, no electromagnetic radiation, no infrared radiation, and the battleship Qingyu with a matte surface is like a ghost in space, but it is a deadly ghost.
Time passed little by little, and in the stereoscopic projection, the forward speed of the battleship was already as high as 38 km / s, which was about 112 times the speed of sound when replaced by the speed of sound on Earth! In about 17 minutes and 35 seconds, you can circle the earth.
But in the vast starry sky, it is still as slow as a turtle crawling!
Unconsciously after more than a day, when Zhao Yiyi became more and more bored, Hilde suddenly stood up straight, "Xiaoqing, ignite the fire, go full speed!" Sit down, everyone! โ
The seat under Zhao Yiyi automatically rotated half a circle, and all the 'people' were facing forward together.
The ship shuddered slightly, and there was a faint low, majestic roar, and acceleration began to appear, and then rapidly increased, and finally accelerated wildly.
In just an instant, Zhao Yi seemed to have come to hell!
The heavy acceleration made Zhao Yi sink deep into the seat, the blood seemed to freeze, the bones were creaking, and the skin and flesh on his face and body were spread on the seat like wax.
The brain was in chaos, and his eyes quickly fell into a state of blackness.
The heart trembled wildly, but it quickly weakened; His chest seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and he couldn't breathe at all.
Suddenly, an elegant singing voice floated, and then a ball of "pale green jelly" fell on Zhao Yiyi. In an instant, Zhao Yiyi found himself alive.
The heavy acceleration did not go away, but the body was no longer uncomfortable.
The elf's elegant voice floated in: "This is 'Life Guardian', life magic. โ
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao looked afraid.
Hilde's voice came, "I'm sorry. The situation is tense now, and I apologize for some negligence. โ
What can Zhao Yiyi say? "I'm causing you a lot of trouble."
"How can it be, we are comrades-in-arms now." Hilde's voice was calm and powerful, with a certain comforting power.
Zhao Yiyi nodded slowly, turning his head to look at the "Arrow of Eros" fixed on the table.
The battleship accelerated wildly.
With the elf's life guard, Zhao Yiyi could finally turn his head to look at the projection in the hall.
The herring squirt spewed a pale blue tail flame almost six or seven times its own length, and sprinted towards the back of Salmi, seemingly unconcerned about revealing its tracks.
Zhao Yiyi looked carefully and finally understood: at this time, Sawei 1 and Salmi Xing just blocked the enemy's vision!
Speed, speed!
With the combined force of the engine, the planet's gravity, and even the Cinsintikul, the battleship pierced the shadow area behind the planet like a sharp arrow, and its speed continued to increase.
63 km/s;
64 km/s;
โฆ
By the time the ship officially cut into the shadows and took a picture of the enemy's battleship, it had reached a crazy speed of 182 km/s.
At this time, the distance between the two warships was less than 70,000 kilometers; And the herring battleship is still accelerating wildly.
Almost at the same time, two dazzling purple-gold 'rays' erupted, instantly piercing 70,000 kilometers and accurately landing on the enemy's 'big mouth'.
It's not a laser, it's a particle cannon โ lasers can't be seen in space because there's no atmospheric scattering. And at the same power, the particle cannon has a greater destructive power.
At this time, the enemy ship hovered silently in the shadow area of the planet, and the engine intermittently spewed a little flame, defying gravity. The layers of energy defenses on the surface of the ship are invisible.
The whole enemy ship, almost defenseless!
It wasn't until 2 seconds after the Herring appeared in the shadow area that the enemy ship finally made a move, barely holding the left flank in front. The engine began to work, spewing a pale blue tail flame.
But it was too late!
In 2 seconds, life and death are divided!
The powerful particle cannon pierced through the weak energy defense layer and landed on the ship's hull. The external armor of the enemy ship exploded directly.
A particle cannon is a type of plasma with temperatures of up to tens of thousands of degrees; And the hull in the starry sky is comparable to the temperature of the starry sky, and the temperature is below minus 270 degrees!
The strong temperature difference creates unimaginable thermal stress. The hard armor of the battleship collapsed directly under the heat stress, and the fragments flew away.
Then the hull of the battleship was penetrated, and the structural beams were red-hot, softened, and evaporated; In less than 5 seconds, the particle cannon pierced through the left flank position of the enemy battleship.
Then there was an even more frantic explosion, which seemed to have been martyred, the left wing of the enemy ship was directly shattered, and the main body of the battleship rolled indiscriminately.
Almost simultaneously, more than two dozen escape vehicles ejected from the battleship and spread in all directions.
The particle cannon flickered, and in just two minutes, there were only 9 escape vehicles left.
During the battle, the battleship sounded the alarm; But at the end of the planet's arc, another battleship of the enemy arrived belatedly and immediately confronted the herring battleship. The flickering light of the particle cannon illuminates the shadow area of the planet.
Hilde began to take control of the ship himselfโa helmet-like device popped out of his seat.
The elves also wear helmets to assist with coordination and attacks.
The battleship Herring began to dodge violently, up and down, left and right, and in the bombardment with the enemy ship, it even split a particle cannon to strafe the enemy's escape aircraft. This is the elf's responsibility.
One by one, the flying machines dodged flexibly, but in only half a minute, they were killed by the elven shooters and turned into two brilliant fireworks.
But soon the elven shooter gave up on the escape vehicle, as the enemy ships approached and the counterattack became more and more frenzied.
The herring swayed and rolled wildly as it dodged fiercely, and the shrill sirens became louder and louder.
Zhao Yiyi only felt that his adrenal glands were about to turn into fountains.
Seeing that the two sides are getting closer and closer. The data shows that it is already less than 9,000 kilometers.
Suddenly, Hilde yelled, "Richie, it's up to you!" โ
"Roar ......" the golden dragon Grandet Rich roared, and his entire body had already sunk into the chair, merging with the chair.
The elf spoke again, his voice was less elegant, more nervous and excited: "Zhao Yiyi, ready, the duel of the last 10,000 kilometers of the battleship: ship fighting technique."
Richie will show you a ship fighting technique that evolved from Wyvern combat! โ
Boat fighting?
Zhao Yiyi's eyes lit up.
I've only heard of fighter dog fighting before, and I've never heard of boat fighting.
