Chapter 193: Crystal Sniping
The red crystal originally just floated quietly in place, the crystal itself did not emit light, but only reflected the light of the sun behind him like a lens, Dr. Hook had previously collected spectral records near the crystal, and accidentally found that the spectral level of sunlight changed after passing through the crystal, which proved that the crystal not only blocked and refracted the light, but also absorbed some of it.
The crystal was not very large, but since Dr. Hook observed it, its extension area has become larger and larger, and the amount of energy contained in the light it filters has reached a very large amount based on this spectral change.
"Quick! Ready to record! Turn the radio telescope magnification to the maximum! Dr. Hooke's reaction to seeing the anomalous changes in the crystal was excitement, he had been in the field of science for more than fifty years, but the appearance of this mysterious crystal shattered his indestructible scientific worldview in just one day.
The red crystal contains too many mysterious mysteries, if you can crack its secrets, it must be a huge progress in human technology, Dr. Hook still remembers the last time foreign civilizations invaded, his mentor desperately wanted to study the mysterious cube that suddenly appeared, he thought that once he got a little foreign technology, it was enough to trigger a great progress of human civilization, but due to the policy problems of the authorities, no one dared to support his decision, and Xingyao City did not even dare to pass the minimum observation, He hid far away until the earth disappeared, and he didn't dare to show his head until the earth disappeared, like a frightened child. The mentor died with regrets, but how could it be that learning the technology of foreign civilizations was just his wish, every scholar in Xingyao City longed for him, but they all didn't dare to come forward because of the influence of the authorities, and now, this opportunity has come again, and Dr. Hook said that he didn't want to miss him anymore.
Including Dr. Hook and his assistants, more than a dozen researchers in the astronomical observatory moved quickly, and soon after the first attack was launched, they locked themselves in the facility, ignoring the outside of the window, and they didn't even know that the outer ring was detached, during which Dr. Hook had applied to Xingyao City** for scientific research support, and he wanted to use a large telescope built in orbit on another satellite to observe the mysterious crystal, because the radio telescope on Xingyao City was more or less affected by the electronic signals in the space city, The most accurate measurements were available only far from the areas where humans lived, and yet they received no response.
Thinking about it, I also know that the upper echelons of Starshine City must have burned their butts now, and there are a lot of things to deal with, so they don't have time to pay attention to the nonsense of this bad old man, so Dr. Hook had no choice but to give up, and locked himself in the facility with peace of mind, completely isolating information from the outside world, and then he sighed several times that the guys at the upper level didn't know what was important and what wasn't.
If the attack is really sent out by this crystal, it proves that their technical level has surpassed that of humans a lot, and studying it will definitely find a lot of inspiration for new technologies, and if a battle breaks out later, then it is even more important to study this crystal quickly, only by knowing its intelligence, can we study a good way to deal with it, like only the attack, if you come a few more times, even if the core area escapes from the burden, what can you do? In the end, it's not that you can't beat others.
The blood-colored crystal on the screen was glowing slightly, and this was the first time they had observed such an anomaly, as previous spectral observations had proved that the crystal was not a light source, and now it suddenly began to glow.
The light spread from the core to the feathered crystal behind it, like a little spark hitting a dead leaf, and a thin layer of fire spread quickly from the center to the surroundings, but after only a few seconds the light disappeared, and then the crystal began to turn in one direction, Dr. Hook had verified that it had its own power, so it was not surprising that it suddenly began to move.
But what happened next made all of them drop their jaws, just like when the crystal first attacked, the light reappeared, but this time it no longer spread, but gathered and condensed into a point of extremely bright light...... This time, it was no longer in the direction of Star City, but another space station located on the Jupiter V moon.
It's just a space station, it's not a space city, the size can't be compared with Xingyao City at all, the population inhabited is only a few hundred, in recent years, Xingyao City has plans to expand it into a space city, it is the most potential of all space stations, and the most important role is scientific research, and most of the people living on it are suspicious people appointed by Xingyao City in the past, and a small number of them are the descendants of astronauts left on it during the Earth period.
The space station apparently didn't know that its fate had been locked by the spear of doom, this was not a metaphor, but a real spear, just like the attack that pierced the Star City, a sharp crystal spike warhead was shot out, if it wasn't for seeing it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe it was true.
Dr. Hook took off his glasses with trembling hands, he had just recorded the process of the crystal spike being fired, although he didn't know what the specific composition of the crystal was, but it exploded several times in a row after launching, each time it occurred very accurately at the root of the crystal thorn, and the amount of control of the explosion was almost perfect, with no excess impact escaping.
The space station that was targeted by it was pierced by a blow without the slightest reaction, it did not have a huge structure like Star City, this blow was a real devastating blow, the moment the crystal thorn hit, the entire space station was smashed into a discus by the huge impact, and then the crystal thorn passed through the flattened steel plate, and the warhead rushed into the endless dark void, leaving only a red-hot metal ring floating in the universe, the original structure of the space station was completely invisible, and the impact made it completely deformed and distorted, It was a long-range sniping attempt, and a large space station was destroyed in such an easy way......
The last attack was a day ago, and with such a powerful power, it can still maintain such a fast attack rate...... Previously, Dr. Hook was optimistic about human versus crystals, but after witnessing this sniping with his own eyes, his whole body seemed to be soaked in ice water, as if the inhabitants of primitive tribes had seen modern warfare for the first time, watching fighter jets fly over their heads, perhaps, the real gap was even bigger than this, but he couldn't think of a better example.
