Chapter Two Hundred and Four: The Battle in Interception
In the starry sky, a colorful light emerged from the dark universe, but even after leaving the 'interstellar highway', the speed of this light still reached a very astonishing speed of nearly five times.
What is the concept of this velocity, which continues to travel at the speed of light or above in the material universe, and kinetic energy alone is enough to directly bomb a star.
With five times the speed of light, it is difficult for even an ordinary black hole to capture such a high-speed moving object, and if an object with a strong enough mass and density is thrown into the black hole at such a speed, even the black hole itself will be at risk of disintegrating.
In the interstellar world, the faster-than-light strike used to be the highest-end strategic weapon of the interstellar civilization, comparable to the nuclear deterrence of the planetary age, but as the interstellar civilization became more and more, especially after the wide-area space detection radar was developed, the faster-than-light strike has since fallen off the altar.
Because there is a fatal flaw in faster-than-light strikes, that is, maintaining a faster-than-light state in a positive matter universe is very easy to be interfered with by dark energy.
When a sufficient amount of dark matter or dark energy creates a path force field before the faster-than-light strike hits the target, once the faster-than-light strike is affected, the faster-than-light kinetic energy core will be rapidly stripped of the high-speed active state, to put it bluntly, it is like a sports car that rushes to 200 yards, and it can't intercept such a terrible speed under normal conditions, but if a large sand pit or swamp is buried in advance in front of its high-speed path, then once the sports car enters it, the end can be imagined.
Before the development of wide-area space detection radar, the reason why faster-than-light strikes were almost invincible in the world was not only because of its powerful destructive power, but most importantly, because once it was routinely observed, it was basically equivalent to being attacked at the same time, and it was impossible to defend at all.
However, after the birth of wide-area space detection radar, with the continuous iteration of major interstellar technologies, sufficiently powerful space radar equipment can even detect abnormal energy fluctuations in an entire satellite field. This is directly equivalent to a death sentence for a faster-than-light strike, because once observed, the observer will have at most nearly an hour to prepare for it.
So what a thing about?
As long as a few dark matter or dark energy bombs are placed on the calculation path of a faster-than-light strike, any faster-than-light strike will be nullified, although it is not enough to be directly intercepted and destroyed, but as long as its rate is rapidly attenuated to the speed of light or below, it can basically be completely intercepted.
Therefore, as the Obsidian Five Generals, the Dead Blade General had a disapproving expression.
What era is it, and you still strike at faster-than-light speeds? The Nova Empire is already sick and rushed to the hospital.
Titan is the core lair of Thanos, and the space detection radar they use can detect up to about a quarter of the territory of the Pole Ann Star Field.
Not to mention a five-times light-speed strike, even if it was a fifty-times light-speed strike, they had complete confidence to be able to intercept it before the strike hit the Titan system.
With the order of the Dead Blade General, the operators in front of the main console immediately began to get busy, and the quantum computing master in the star ring accurately calculated the action path of this faster-than-light high-density energy within ten seconds.
Then the operators of the weapon launch pad began to deploy the large-yield dark energy bombs, and in less than a minute, twenty of them were deployed, all of which were launched with unmistakable accuracy, and were regularly scattered along the predicted path of the faster-than-light strike at the same time as twice the speed of light.
As soon as this energy light crashes into the arrangement, it will be mercilessly bombarded by the dark energy bomb, knocking it down from the faster-than-light state.
Boom ——!
Soon, 8 minutes later, while the Thanos legion was waiting, the first interceptor bomb was triggered and detonated.
But in fact, there will be no roar in the cosmic vacuum, and the explosion of the dark energy bomb will not cause some kind of physical explosion effect visible to the naked eye, and everyone can only detect the changes caused by the interception through space radar.
"The target has been completely hit, and the faster-than-light state is beginning to deplete, 4 times the speed of light... 3 times the speed of light... It's already down to 1.2 times the speed of light. ”
The operator in charge of the space radar stared at the virtual imaging screen in front of him without blinking, on which was an electronic star map composed of various symbols, which ordinary people could not understand what was displayed on it, but a professional like him was very familiar with it.
"But..."
"But what?"
The Deathblade General was standing behind him at this point.
"However, the energy level index of the target has not changed much, strange, what kind of matter or energy aggregate is this, even if there is superluminal kinetic energy as protection, but after being affected by the dark energy force field, it will not have such a lost change."
The operator whispered in confusion.
"No matter what it is, since the other party has sent a blow, it will definitely leave a high-energy remnant, divide part of the computing power, and immediately calculate for me to find out where those hidden fleas are!"
The Dead Blade General's face was fierce.
An ordinary faster-than-light strike didn't take him seriously at all, and his real focus was still to find out the Nova Empire people who dared to lurk under their noses.
The operator did not dare to say any more, and immediately began to ramp up the calculations for the wide-area space anomaly scan.
But another half minute passed, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Wait, what's going on?"
"What's wrong again?"
Deathblade was very dissatisfied with the fact that these guys were shocked all day long, if it weren't for the fact that these scientists and technical operators also have a certain scarcity in terms of strategy, if they were ordinary soldiers, he would have thrown all these guys he didn't like into the cosmic vacuum.
"Uh... The unidentified energy aggregate just now rushed out of the first dark energy interception force field 15 seconds ago, and it began to speed up again..."
The operator's eyes grew wider.
As an alien lifeform that resembled a human being, his eyes were completely wide, at least the whole eyeball was a full circle larger than it appeared to be human.
"2 times the speed of light... 3 times the speed of light... 4 times... 6 times... 8...8 times the speed of light??? ”
His whole expression was like a ghost in front of the operating table.
"What are you talking about?"
Deathblade also felt a little wrong.
"Long... Sir, no, General, the faster-than-light strike that we intercepted just now has been re-accelerated to 8.46 times the speed of light, and the energy level index has increased by another ten percent! ”
The operator swallowed and said with a difficult expression.
"It can't be!"
Deathblade immediately vetoed it.
Although he is not a scientist, but as the head of the five generals of obsidian, he still knows some basic scientific and technological theories involving military aspects, faster-than-light strikes, in essence, will only have an initial acceleration opportunity, once it is interfered with and slowed down, it is impossible to speed up on its own, which is also one of the fatal flaws of faster-than-light strikes, so after wide-area space radar and dark matter energy bombs appear on the stage of interstellar warfare, faster-than-light strikes will become a chicken rib means and fall from the original strategic weapon altar.
General Death Blade has been fighting with Thanos all his life in the starry sky, and he has never heard of a faster-than-light strike that can speed up on its own again after being slowed down!
"The second interception has taken effect!"
Since the opponent's speed was not affected for too long, this 'faster-than-light attack' was quickly intercepted by the second dark energy bomb.
Glaring at the virtual projection screen in front of him, the operator in charge found that the other party's speed had dropped again, but he didn't dare to speak out immediately this time, and sure enough, after another 'long' thirty seconds, the operator looked at the data that kept jumping on the screen, and his mouth grew silently.
This unknown energy aggregate accelerated again, not only did the energy level rise by ten percent again, but the speed actually directly exceeded 10 times the speed of light!
"Thanos-sama again... What is this...? ”
