423 Lightspeed Block
After Wu Han learned about the environmental conditions of the Giant Star, he immediately realized the value of this planet, and he didn't care about saying more, and immediately stopped the communication after instructing him not to leak the news of the Giant Star to the mission, and contacted the military top brass vigorously.
Soon, the country's top leadership held a secret meeting, which was highly secretive, and the outside world did not know what exactly it was, and only the 16 high-ranking officials of the state who attended the meeting knew about it.
The scope of this meeting was extremely small, but the impact was extremely far-reaching, which directly led to the adjustment of the interstellar expansion strategy at the top level of the country.
On October 13, 2206, the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force in Gliese 581 received a secret order directly from the Ministry of Defense, requiring the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force to immediately gather part of it and rush to the Giant Star as quickly as possible.
Lu Jian, who received the order, was puzzled, no one knew the situation of Gliese 581 better than him, the two planets had already begun to undergo environmental transformation, and it would not take a few years to have a primary habitable environment.
Don't look at the news that China has announced the occupation of these two planets, but there are only gains and losses between countries, where is the reason to talk about it?
The Americans' Starfleet has always been reluctant to leave the Gliese 581, and the idea is that the First Fleet will leave at this time, wouldn't it be to give up the two planets to the Yankees?
Unwilling to give up, Lü Jian argued with reason, but the local orders were very resolute, and in desperation, Lü Jian had to retreat, even if the First Fleet could not stay, even if only one warship was left to represent the sovereignty of the Chinese side.
The Ministry of Defense finally agreed with Lu Jian's opinion, but only one destroyer could be left.
October 14, 2206. The main force of the First Fleet of the Expeditionary Force flew away from Gliese 581, leaving only the destroyer Huashan.
Don't look at the fact that there is only one battleship, but the main force of the mechanical civilization that has been trapped in the last bone mound of the outer bone people has never left Gliese 581, and there is no need to worry that Starfleet will secretly attack the Huashan.
October 20, 2206, Gliese 581.
After a few months of rest, all the mechanical divisions lost by the mechanical civilization in the May Battle were replenished, not only restoring their original strength, but also taking advantage of this time to build some more mechanical divisions.
When everything is ready, the mechanical split that has always trapped the bone mound suddenly disperses and disengages from the bone mound.
The bone mound, which had suddenly been freed, immediately began to move. Trying to break free from the grip of mechanical civilization. But how could the mechanical civilization give them this chance? Dominating a wave of electricity, seven mechanical splits that controlled the speed pressed against one side of the bone mound in the shape of a plum blossom, and at the same time sent force in one direction.
The power of the seven mechanical splits is more than three times that of the bone mound, and the bone mound cannot withstand the mechanical split at all. Despite the struggle. But it's just a trapped beast.
In the beginning, the Outer Skeletons couldn't figure out what the mechanical civilization was trying to do. But they soon discover that the mechanical civilization is pushing the bone mound to the star of this planetary system!
The outer bone man in the bone mound suddenly messed up, and tried his best to control the bone mound to change direction, but it couldn't withstand the seven mechanical splits. Efforts to change tracks have had little effect.
In desperation, the lord, who had been trapped for five months, ordered to abandon the bone mound and flee in a bio-warship.
But how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? As soon as the first batch of biological warships took off, they were attacked by the joint attack of Huashan, Starfleet and mechanical civilization, and in a moment, tens of thousands of biological warships were wiped out.
Knowing that the catastrophe was inevitable, the Outer Bone Men simply made a desperate bet, so that all the Outer Bone Men took the biological warship at the same time and took off into the air as fast as possible, trying to disrupt the arrangement of the tripartite alliance with a huge number of them, and fight for a glimmer of life for the lord and the nobles.
The large group of biological warships did bring a lot of trouble to the coalition forces, but the coalition forces had long been prepared for this, and the powerful combat force dominated by mechanical civilization surrounded and intercepted, and more than seventy percent of the biological warships were eliminated, and the outer bone lord and most of the nobles also died in the melee, and only a few nobles took advantage of the chaos to flee and disappeared.
The total number of escaped biological warships exceeded 200,000, but the fundamental goal of the coalition's operation this time was not to completely annihilate the Outer Bone Clan, but to take out the difficult behemoths in the bone mound!
200,000 biological warships seem like a lot, but the alien fleet that has lost its bone mound is like a fish out of water, and it is impossible to make any waves.
Without the control of the Outer Bone Man, the bone mound gradually quieted down, propelled by seven mechanical splits, and slowly but surely flew towards the star.
October 23, 2206.
This day happened to be the Yangtze River fell for a month, and the bone mound, which had been pushed by the mechanical split and flown for three days, finally entered the edge of the star.
Seven mechanical splits are only, and the Juggernaut can afford to lose.
Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star with a low temperature, but the so-called low temperature is compared with other stars, no matter how low the surface temperature is, Gliese 581 is also a star, after entering the chromosphere with a temperature of up to three or four thousand degrees, the surface of the bone mound and the mechanical split disintegrate at the same time at high temperatures, as the bone mound continues to go deeper, the temperature around it is getting higher and higher, and after penetrating into the chromosphere, the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees makes the surface of the entire bone mound quickly melt and vaporize.
The heat of the star is like a pair of invisible giant hands, peeling away the bone mound layer by layer until the core of the bone mound is exposed.
The giant beast hidden inside the bone mound didn't even have a chance to struggle, and as soon as it appeared, it was swallowed by the heat of the chromosphere layer...... The skin of the giant beast can decompose all kinds of light and convert it into usable energy, but the light and heat of the chromosphere are too strong, even if it is as strong as a giant beast, it can only be the result of drinking hatred on the spot.
The destruction of the bone mound and the giant beast represents the elimination of the hidden danger of Gliese 581, and the coalition forces celebrate it, but the ownership of the two planets has become the focus of contention between China and the United States.
Don't look at the Huashan only has one warship, but the number of warships does not determine the belonging of the planet.
The strength of Starfleet is stronger than that of Huashan, but the United States is on Earth, and no matter how strong Starfleet is, it cannot be separated from the support of its homeland. If the Huashan is raided in order to seize the ownership of the planet, it is tantamount to directly declaring war on the Chinese side. The U.S. mainland is likely to be hit by a retaliatory all-out strike from China...... Even if China takes into account the overall situation, the US authorities will be caught up in global verbal criticism.
Moreover, although the mechanical civilization is unwilling to participate in the struggle for the ownership of the planet, it will not sit idly by and watch the human infighting.
In the final analysis, who owns the planet depends on the confrontation between the diplomatic departments of the two countries, and the fleet remaining in Gliese 581 only needs to wait for the result.
October 28, 2206, Wolf 424.
Wolf-424 is a planetary system located in the constellation Virgo, a binary star system consisting of two red dwarfs located about 14.2 light-years from the Sun.
These two stars have a mass of 13 and 14 percent of the Sun, respectively, and are among the faintest objects around the Sun. These two stars are moving rapidly towards the Sun. In about 7,700 years, they will be about a light-year away from the Sun, making them the closest stars to the Sun.
The two stars of Wolff-424 have wandered lonely in the universe for many years, but today. The edge of this galaxy suddenly flashed with a colorful light. Then a giant creature appeared on the outskirts of the galaxy. On its back, there is a conspicuous brown spot.
It didn't take long for the brown spotted behemoth to fly unhurriedly into the interior of the galaxy after it appeared. A colorful light flashed, and the Third Fleet of the Expeditionary Force, which had just been formed, appeared in the void.
On May 12, 2206, when the Yangtze River lured away the stubborn beast, the brown spotted giant beast quietly left Gliese 581, and the uneasy Lu Jian ordered the Hengshan to follow behind the brown spotted giant beast.
The Brown Spotted Behemoth flew away from Gliese 581 shortly after it entered a faster-than-light flight state, but its flight speed was not very fast, and it seemed to have always been aware that the Hengshan was chasing after it, but it never took the initiative to attack.
The information kept coming back to the Yanjing, and the behavior of the brown spotted giant beast convinced Lu Jian that the giant beast was not a creature with a unified personality - the black giant beast that chased the Yangtze River was a stubborn donkey that did not walk backwards, while the brown spotted giant beast was a lazy insect with a calm temperament and was lazy and lazy!
Because the derogatory title of some stubborn beasts can only be used for black behemoths, not for brown spotted behemoths!
However, the personality of the giant beast is not the basis for judging whether it is dangerous or not, according to the information provided by the master, no matter what kind of giant beast needs a lot of food, once it is broken into the solar system by the brown spotted giant beast......
The solar system is located at the middle edge of the Orion Arm, and if you fly further out in this direction, it won't be long before you will fly out of the Orion Arm and into the vast void that flies towards the Centaur Arm!
If the giant beast turns in other directions halfway, then no matter where it flies, it will not threaten the solar system, there is no threat and it is strong, and there is no need for humans to offend such hob meat; If it keeps flying towards the solar system, it means that it may fly through the solar system to the centaur arm, and there is not even a galaxy in the void thousands of light-years away, and it must have enough energy to store before leaving the Orion arm!
If the Brown Spotted Behemoth enters the solar system, it will most likely eat in order to store enough energy!
According to the Lord's will, when it is fed, all will be fine, and nothing will happen. But human resources are already very tight, where is the room to feed it?
Therefore, the Hengshan was ordered to follow the brown spotted beast, and if it took the initiative to avoid the solar system, it would be forgotten, otherwise, it would be resolutely eliminated.
I didn't expect this giant beast to really fly in the direction of the solar system!
There are growing signs that it is increasingly likely to fly to the solar system.
On August 2, 2206, the day after the Yangtze River arrived at Rejupit, the Third Fleet of the Expeditionary Force, which was originally planned to support the First Fleet, was ordered to join the Hengshan and take over the tracking mission of the Hengshan.
By late October, after more than two months of tracking, the brown spotted behemoth still had no intention of changing direction, and although Wolf 424 was more than ten light-years away from the sun, it was only as far away as its own neighbors in terms of cosmic surprise.
The discovery of the Giant Star made the mainland anxious to draw the strength of the Third Fleet, and the impatient Celestial Army Headquarters ordered the Third Fleet to take precautions, take the initiative to seek fighters, and resolutely destroy the brown spotted monster.
All the officers and men of the Third Fleet, who had been in a state of "hurrying" since the formation of the army, were eager to fight, and immediately started preparations before the battle.
Isn't this a dish delivered to your door?
The two assault ships belonging to the Third Fleet, Nenjiang and Minjiang, immediately asked for battle - the Yangtze River was hit and crashed by a stubborn beast, trying to destroy the giant beast. The most reliable means is only the light-speed torpedo!
After more than two months of tracking, the combat staff officers of the Third Fleet had already made countless plans, and destroying the behemoth with light-speed torpedoes was the earliest and most likely plan to make a contribution.
After receiving the request, the commander of the fleet, Qiu Yu, immediately agreed to this plan.
However, the Behemoth is very sensitive to faster-than-light flight, and firing a light-speed torpedo from a long distance is likely to be detected by the Behemoth, and once the Behemoth is alarmed, it will be difficult to attack again.
In order to ensure the hit rate, Qiu Yu ordered the Nenjiang and Minjiang to close the distance as much as possible without alarming the giant beast. And at the same time launch a torpedo at the speed of light!
The two battleships, having received the order, immediately set off. Fearing that faster-than-light flight would attract the attention of the behemoth, the two gave up the convenience of faster-than-light flight and approached the behemoth in a regular way.
The main force of the Third Fleet hangs not far behind the two assault ships, and if the behemoth counterattacks, it will immediately enter the battle.
Qiu Yu was even ready to sacrifice a warship. Prepare to crash and kill the Behemoth at faster-than-light speed.
However, planning is not as fast as change. Behemoths unexpectedly discovered assault ships that flew in a conventional way. When they find a battleship approaching, they immediately flee and do not give a chance to approach at all.
The two sides were entangled like hide and seek for more than two hours, but they were never able to close even the slightest distance.
I don't know what the road is for. Qiu Yu always felt that the brown spotted giant beast was deliberate!
In desperation, Qiu Yu simply ordered the Nenjiang to directly launch a light-speed torpedo, it is good to be able to hit the giant beast, but if it can't hit, it will scare it ruthlessly.
In order to prevent the light-speed torpedo from turning into a ghost torpedo before it misses the target, the Nenjiang chose to launch the torpedo when the battleship, the behemoth, and the star were in a straight line.
The light-speed torpedo was activated and quickly disappeared into the colorful shimmer, and the battleship's magnetic device kept tracking the torpedo's position.
Despite the speed of the torpedo, after flying a certain distance to the behemoth, it still aroused the behemoth's alarm. It immediately accelerated away from its original position, and the light-speed torpedo failed to hit the target.
The officers and men of the Third Fleet were extremely disappointed, but just as Nenjiang was preparing for its second launch, the light-speed torpedo hit the Wolf 424A, a red dwarf star with only 14 percent of the mass of the Sun.
The explosion and impact caused an unprecedented explosion of stellar material from the surface of the star, and one of the gloomy clumps of plasma hit the brown spotted behemoth.
Although the plasma had weakened a lot in the process of flying away from the star, it still dealt a heavy blow to the brown spotted behemoth, and the injured behemoth immediately "drilled" into a faster-than-light state.
Qiu Yu gave an order, and the Third Fleet immediately launched a pursuit.
This time, the brown spotted behemoth was no longer leisurely, but fled with all its might, but unfortunately, the maximum speed of the behemoth was much lower than that of human warships, and the third fleet was always behind the behemoth.
At the beginning, Qiu Yu still hoped that the brown spotted giant beast would be taught a lesson to stay away from the direction of the solar system, but after half a month, it still had no intention of changing direction at all.
If it continues like this, it will be able to fly to the solar system in another half a year!
If the giant beast really flew into the mainland, Sensei said that Qiu Yu couldn't afford this responsibility, even Wu Han wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
Qiu Yu almost lost his hair in order to deal with the giant beast, but no matter what he launched in the superluminal state, he would lose his propulsion and get out of the superluminal speed, not only failing to hit the enemy, but also the danger of hitting himself by mistake!
It was not an option to continue like this, and the headquarters was very dissatisfied with the Third Fleet's failure to destroy the behemoth in time.
Qiu Yu, who was ruthless, boiled his eyes red, gritted his teeth and ordered the capital ships Haicheng and Qiaodu to hit the giant beast immediately!
The time it takes for humans to gain the ability to fly faster than light is very short, and in general, in order to prevent the ship from crashing into a large celestial body and causing the destruction of the ship, no captain dares to order the warship to change direction in the faster-than-light state.
However, not daring to change direction does not mean that there is no ability to change direction, but flying faster than light is really a fraction of a mile, and no one dares to risk their lives.
Finding that two warships collided with each other, the giant beast with a speed of only one-third of the human warship hurriedly avoided it, but it didn't work twice once, and it didn't pull the other warships up together, and the eight main warships of the Third Fleet galloped vertically and horizontally, seemingly chaotic, but in fact they were in order, and launched a non-stop desperate impact in the vast space of hundreds of astronomical units - flying at an ultra-high speed of up to forty times the speed of light, and could fly forty light minutes in one minute, which is almost five astronomical units.
Thankfully, it's not close to any of the galaxies, and there are no large wandering asteroids.
After a few rounds, the unavoidable giant beast finally hit the back crotch of the Minjiang, and the painful giant beast immediately exited the faster-than-light state.
Hitting twenty-six times the speed of light at the speed of forty lights was by no means as simple as two cars rear-ending on the highway, and the giant beast was seriously injured in the crotch, and after exiting the faster-than-light state, it rolled in the void in pain.
The Minjiang that hit the giant beast was no better, the armor hundreds of meters thick was shattered and damaged like paper paste, one-sixth of the bow was completely damaged, and even the main guns were completely scrapped.
The Minjiang collision can be described as a heavy loss, and it must be returned to the mainland to repair, but fortunately, the power system is located in the stern of the ship, otherwise it can be directly abandoned.
The staggered ships were out of the faster-than-light state at the same time, and the Nenjiang seized the opportunity to shoot the only remaining light-speed torpedo.
The injured behemoth tried its best to dodge and narrowly avoided the light-speed torpedo - the light-speed torpedo was originally designed to deal with the huge bone mound, and it didn't think about flexibility at all, and it was simply powerless against such a nimble small target as the behemoth!
Finding that his situation was critical, the brown spotted beast endured the pain and panicked and suddenly entered a faster-than-light state.
Qiu Yu immediately ordered the fleet to pursue, and ordered the maintenance ship to urgently repair the Minjiang, and also handed over the Minjiang to close the bow of the crashed ship and return to the mainland on its own.
The giant beast that fled again seemed to have affected its speed because of its injury, and could only fly twenty times the speed of light, Qiu Yu was reluctant to give his battleship, and did not give the order to ram again, but he knew very well that this order would be given as soon as possible...... However, it didn't take long for him to discover that the direction of the beast's escape this time was no longer to the solar system!
Qiu Yu was overjoyed immediately, and instead of pressing tightly, he instead hung the tail of the giant beast, and once he found out that it had the intention of turning to the solar system, he immediately sent a warship to block the direction of flight, forcing it to deviate from the course that threatened the solar system!
It's just that in this way, the Third Fleet was again held back by the behemoth and unable to complete the support mission.
But the order of the headquarters must be carried out, and Qiu Yu had no choice but to leave four destroyers to continue to drive away the giant beast, and rush to Gliese 581 with other warships! (To be continued......)
