Chapter Seventy-Five: Still Some?
The brightness of the entire star lasted for about ten minutes.
At the beginning was the bombardment of more than a hundred curvature missiles, and several small holes were blown out of the coronal layer of the star.
This is followed by the self-regulation of the star as a whole.
Under the action of its own huge gravity, these holes are quickly filled by the surrounding material, and this filling process looks like a bright flare.
After this wave of flashes, the battlefield unexpectedly calmed down, and the opponent used an ultra-powerful weapon to blow up Wei Er, and there were no other superfluous actions.
The situation has become a little delicate.
The dark universe quickly became peaceful......
It's as if the strong explosion of Wei II is just a natural phenomenon. But the meteorites floating everywhere are a constant reminder that a small satellite once existed here.
Photons faithfully recorded the complete information of the entire attack, spreading in all directions at the speed of light. This message will echo in the universe for a long time...... Until the energy of these photons is exhausted.
This bombing stirred up a huge solar wind, and it would take several days for these high-speed ions to spread out at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second to reach "Dig-114".
In about 3 days, the meteorite from the explosion of Weier will be able to travel a distance of 900,000 kilometers to reach Dig-114.
At that time, the solar wind also happens to blow through here.
The planet "Dig 114" will produce a magnificent meteor shower and a spectacular aurora phenomenon at the same time, and in one area, you may be able to see this two-in-one landscape.
But people certainly don't stay here to enjoy the view, because people clearly understand that this calm ...... It's a sign before a storm!
The war is not over!
This calm, in essence...... Or because of the huge delay in information.
At present, due to the distance, the other party has only observed the nuclear war between people and the "Gaia Creatures" more than a month ago, and the picture of Deep Space "lying down" on the second side of the satellite, and has not seen that a few hours ago, Deep Space had escaped from this satellite......
So, no next step was taken.
"They're going to go full speed to 'Diger 114'! But it's still a long way off, and there's still a lot of days to go......"
"At least our gravitational wave telescope still hasn't caught the traces of the other party's spacecraft......"
The atmosphere at the scene was tense to the extreme, the soldiers hurried to various posts, and the scientists were also making urgent calculations.
The central computer is at full power, and various modules are urgently mobilized, generating a large number of guess reports......
The "Deep Space" is also constantly adjusting its position, trying to get all the people down there as soon as possible, and then run away......
If you don't run, wait to die?
In the captain's room, dozens of military experts are constantly discussing the current situation and countermeasures.
“…… The opponent accurately calculated the orbit of Wei Er, and then covered it with a fire net. They may well be mistaken for the fact that we have been destroyed...... Is that so? ”
"No, the other party won't take it lightly! In fact, the other party does not know whether we have been destroyed or not, there must be a next move, but they don't know what it is. The information delay is too great, and without a target, it is impossible for an expensive curvature missile to be launched into the air. ”
After a short discussion, it was found that the curvature missile is a weapon ...... It's so expensive that humanity can't afford it at this stage.
From the perspective of industrial capacity alone, human beings seem to be ...... The situation of being hung and beaten on one side......
The superluminal missile is too domineering, and just this kind of shot strength makes people feel a burst of heartbeat.
A few minutes later, Yu Yifeng also participated in the discussion through a video.
He's still in an overloaded spaceship, hoisted up slowly, but this kind of meeting is still available. By his side, "Ling" also watched this video curiously, watching these strange crowds.
This is the first time she has seen this kind of modern equipment, so she is also very excited.
“…… The old interstellar civilization is really rich. ”
"This faster-than-light curvature missile is actually composed of a curvature engine, and the energy and detonators in it are antimatter."
"In the explosion just now, we detected a lot of traces of antimatter...... Just as we guessed. ”
Professor Ding Yidong said with a red face, I don't know if it was fanaticism or palpitations.
However, he immediately shook his head again: "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, we once envisioned this kind of weapon...... But our technology can't extract so much antimatter ......"
"If, we forcibly make a faster-than-light curvature missile, as long as there is enough antimatter, even nuclear fusion is not needed...... However, it is too uneconomical. ”
Judging from the current economic situation and industrial capacity of the new human civilization, this kind of curvature missile can be said to be far away, because the technology for the production and utilization of antimatter is far from mature.
Besides, the universe is so big that it's a fraction of a millimeter.
It's not just a joke, let's say, shooting at a distance of 0.1 light years...... Don't look at only 0.1 light years, that's a distance of more than 900 billion kilometers, an ultra-long distance that low-level civilizations can't fly in a lifetime.
As long as the muzzle of the gun deviates by 1 nanometer, through the amplification of 0.1 light years, I don't know where it has been......
1 nanometer, which is about 3 silver atoms and 10 carbon atoms in length.
Interstellar civilizations also cannot achieve completely accurate precision control.
Therefore, if you want to hit the opponent at a long distance, you must know the opponent's movement track, make very fine calculations, and at the same time cover it with a large area of firepower to ensure high accuracy in quantity.
Curvature missiles, as awesome as they sound, are still unable to get rid of the shackles of this accuracy.
Its speed exceeds the speed of light, and the core computer cannot observe the outside world, so it cannot be turned into a tracking projectile, but it is faster than light...... It is okay to use it in an emergency, but when it is used as a conventional weapon, it becomes a bit flashy.
"As you know, when the curvature bubble is forcibly punctured, there will be a huge explosion, and even the entire missile will be destroyed. And flying blindfolded, the computer inside the missile does not know when it will explode...... It can't be timed, right? ”
"So, you can't use a normal nuclear bomb...... Antimatter must be used!
"When the entire structure of the missile is destroyed, the antimatter ions inside lose their magnetic field constraints, and immediately come into contact with the positive matter outside, and then a huge secondary explosion will occur......
Professor Ding Yidong said with some apprehension: "Only one or two curvature missiles were used to blow up Wei Er, but it is estimated that there are two hundred missiles that have blown up stars or are still flying indiscriminately...... From this point of view, the strength of our two sides is indeed not an order of magnitude at all......"
Hearing this, everyone started to talk about it, trying to analyze the problem from the other party's point of view: "But I still feel that the other party's decision is correct......"
"The other side may think that we humans don't know that the other party will come, so we take this most rapid and direct attack method......"
"They don't know that the Diggs have leaked the news."
While the discussion was taking place, the first planetary crew finally arrived at Deep Space, and they were received like heroes.
When they heard that the Gaia Creature had finally been lured in, everyone cheered as if they had won a great battle. Well, it's a big win indeed!
I thought it would be no show, but I didn't expect that in the end, many staff members hugged each other and cheered. It is clear to people that Gaia is of great value, and both biologists and various materials scientists and physicists are full of curiosity and prospect about this creature.
Now, as long as people can escape without a hitch...... It's a real victory!
"From the point of view now, we still have time because of the huge delay in information...... Yes, we still have time! ”
Only Yu Yifeng and their spaceship were left behind, and they were hoisted up by rope section by piece, and it was estimated that it would take several hours to get rid of the gravitational deep well...... This made Yu Yifeng very impatient.
But it was useless for him to be impatient.
