Chapter 217: The Fugitive Proxima Centauri
(Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites.) )
Proxima Centauri's warship really made Mu Chen a little greedy, not to brag or say that just from the outside, it has already shown absolutely amazing combat effectiveness, if he really faces such a big guy on the battlefield, Mu Chen will definitely hide as far as he wants.
However, from top to bottom, the Proxima Centauri battleship revealed that something was wrong in many places, Mu Chen actually found a lot of injuries caused by the war on such a battleship, nearly half of the Proxima Centauri battleships were damaged, and a few were even on the verge of collapse and could disintegrate at any time.
What did such a super battleship go through to become such a mess, and is there a more powerful enemy than this kind of battleship?
Mu Chen frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly felt that things seemed to be much more complicated than he imagined.
Under normal circumstances, a captain is not allowed to leave his own warship and go to other warships during the mission, so the only people who board the Proxima Centauri warship for routine inspection and in-depth communication are Mu Chen's subordinates and those diplomats.
Wolf Girl and Laura took 200 marines into the flagship of the Proxima Centauri fleet to roughly check the situation of the other party, and the main purpose was actually to find out the details of the other party.
But the situation inside the Proxima Centauri battleship really made them a little incredible, this place was no different from a refugee camp, this Proxima Centauri flagship was crowded with people, a simple count of at least 250,000 Proxima Centauri, almost all of them were hungry, their eyes were blank, obviously they had experienced a huge blow, and there was no light in their eyes.
Many Proxima Centauri were still wounded, and there were not a few who had severed limbs and arms, and the entire interior of the battleship was filled with a rancid smell that almost made people breathless.
Proxima Centauri is in a bad state, with a chronic lack of food and water, and many young children are stunted by hunger, and their skin and bones look like a gust of wind can blow them away.
"We'll have to contact the captain and report the situation here to him in detail, Proxima Centauri must be hiding a lot of things, otherwise it can't be this miserable picture."
Laura whispered to the wolf girl beside her, and after getting Mu Chen's order to be vigilant and pay attention to observation, she and the wolf girl divided into two teams and acted separately to investigate the situation of the battleship in detail.
Things are even more serious than they thought, Laura and the others have a brief communication with Proxima Centauri through the translator, and find that their food has long been depleted, at least more than half a month without food, and many people are dying.
It's a pity that these people seem to have been given a gag order, and they don't dare to reveal the reason for this situation to the earthlings, so they just deal with it casually, and they are really impatient to be entangled, so they dodge their eyes and say, "There is a famine on Proxima Centauri." ”
This is obviously insincere, but it is just a lie that they have concocted to hide the facts.
Now even a fool can see that these Proxima Centauri are not here to invade the solar system, but to escape.
It's a little strange what happened to the Centaur system that forced them to move to Titan, and what they experienced to be so embarrassed.
Mu Chen's brows also furrowed, because he was surprised to find that the attack on the Proxima Centauri battleship was very strange, not like a high-tech weapon such as a laser weapon, but a cold weapon such as a claw and a sword
Come on.
This discovery almost subverted Mu Chen's understanding of space combat, and he always thought that the space hand-to-side combat he occasionally used once in a while was already a relatively strange tactic, but he couldn't imagine that the enemies encountered by the Proxima Centauri could be driven to a dead end by relying entirely on close combat, what kind of enemies did they face?
"Alice, you can help me analyze whether it is possible to destroy such a super battleship with a melee weapon such as a sword." Mu Chen whispered to Alice.
Alice's eyes suddenly lit up, and countless data streams were rapidly changing in her eyes, obviously using the supercomputing power of the main brain to analyze this feasibility.
"It's almost impossible to do, just use cold weapons to attack, to destroy such a super battleship, it will take at least 5 million high-level fighters like heavy-armored mechanical warriors, and the weapons must also be equipped with laser knives or laser swords above level B, and more importantly, these fighters must be able to fly, and the flight speed must be able to catch up with the speed of the Proxima Centauri battleship, I can't calculate the probability of this kind of thing happening, because ......" Alice said here, very rare and a little hesitant, After thinking about it, he continued:
"Because this possibility is infinitely close to zero......"
"But this has already happened to Proxima Centauri, their enemies did damage the battleship in this way, is it a black technology like a space mecha?" Mu Chen guessed for a moment, then shook his head and denied the idea:
"No, if their enemy has space mecha technology, there is no reason not to equip long-range weapons, after all, the shortcomings of melee combat are obvious, how can there be a long-range attack with a good effect, no one would be so stupid."
Alice also agreed with this point of view, nodded seriously and said: "You are right, cold weapons have almost been eliminated by the space battlefield, this is an inevitable phenomenon, but have you ever thought about what if the enemies faced by Proxima Centauri do not have advanced technology, but only rely on physical abilities?" ”
"You mean Superman? No way, it's anti-physics common sense, even if this enemy is as strong as Superman, but the vacuum environment in space is always a problem, and no creature can survive in this environment. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Chen and Alice didn't come up with any conclusions, and the Earth Federation Headquarters that received the report was also at a loss, and they couldn't analyze it at all.
"Forget it, since we can't figure it out, let's find a chance to ask from the Proxima Centauri, it's too brain-burning to guess."
At this time, the diplomat had also completed the final handover with the Proxima Centauri, and returned to the Death heliba in despair.
Mu Chen called the head of the diplomat and wanted to get some information from him.
"General Mu Chen, these Proxima Centauri are very vigilant, we tried to find out some information according to your request, but they changed the topic very well, they seem to be very taboo to talk about the situation of Proxima Centauri."
"It's okay, you've worked hard, these Proxima Centauri people are clearly hiding a big secret, and I speculate that their home planet, Proxima Centauri, has completely fallen." Mu Chen's words were shocking, and the diplomats were dumbfounded.
"It's impossible, their technological level is already much ahead of the earth, and they also have warship manufacturing technology far beyond our imagination, how can they even fall their home planet? Is it really like they say there is a famine on Proxima Centauri? It's simply that
It's a joke. ”
"Famine is impossible, after all, human beings have already developed space planting technology, and this kind of natural disaster can be artificially avoided, and the only reason for their appearance can only be war." Mu Chen said firmly.
After thinking for a while, Mu Chen continued: "I roughly calculated that the load capacity of such a super battleship should be less than 150,000 people, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain normal supplies, but the information I got said that these 50 Proxima Centauri battleships carried a total of 13 million Proxima Centauri, which means that each warship is overloaded with 260,000 people, and it is impossible for almost all warships to do this, unless they encounter an extremely terrifying threat and have to flee their own planet, in the case of more people and fewer ships, I did it out of desperation. ”
Laura and the others also finished checking, returned to the Grim Reaper, and heard Mu Chen's speculation interjected: "I also feel this way, these Proxima Centauri don't look like normal immigrants, but a bit like they are fleeing, most of the people on the ship are civilians or children who are not combative, and the combat personnel are less than five percent of the total number, and they have obviously experienced a tragic war." ”
The wolf girl also chimed in: "That's right, I took a look at it, most of the civilians are relatively young, there are very few Proxima centauri with signs of aging, the ratio of men and women is a little imbalanced, and there are obviously many more women than men." ”
Mu Chen quickly thought about it in his mind, the truth was about to surface, these Proxima Centauri must have lost their place of residence after the Great War and fled to the solar system in a panic, the 13 million Proxima Centauri here are probably the last population of the Centaur Galaxy.
The guy named Tukam also said that there would be no more Centauri battleships to jump over in the future, which also said a lot about it, and it was almost certain that Proxima Centauri had completely fallen.
The only thing that bothers Mu Chen is, who is the enemy of the Proxima Centauri, is it their kind or some other alien species? And how did this enemy leave that tearing mark on the Proxima Centauri battleship?
"It seems that we still have to find a way to know the true combat capabilities of the Proxima Centauri battleship, so that it is possible to deduce the true combat strength of their previous enemies." Mu Chen thought about it and finally decided.
"Connect the other party's flagship signal and send a call request." Mu Chen said coldly.
The call request was quickly accepted, and Mr. Tukam appeared on the light screen again.
"General Muchen, I don't know what you have to do with me?" Tukam asked a little tiredly, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness, he was really a little tired of dealing with these earthlings with a strong "thirst for knowledge".
"Hehe, Mr. Tukam, since you Proxima Centauri are the only alien civilization that the earthlings have made contact, we naturally have a lot of questions to ask, and I hope it won't bother you." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"For the sake of the food that the Grim Reaper gave us, I don't know what you need, I will try to meet it." Eating people with short mouths and short hands, Tukam was obviously unable to refuse some requests from earthlings after accepting some supplies from earthlings.
"Haha, Mr. Tukam is really refreshing." Mu Chen laughed, then stared at him, and said seriously: "We are a little curious about the combat ability of Proxima Centauri, so we want to have a friendly exchange with you and learn combat skills, which is also the way we earthlings welcome friends." ”
"Huh?" Tuqam momentarily froze......
