The war between the "Pioneer Knights of the Ante Empire" and the "Rangers of the Twin Civilizations" has officially begun, and a sentinel war between the two civilizations has begun......

The first meeting between the two sides came sooner than expected, and that was ...... Scouting and counter-reconnaissance!

"Turn on the light deflection stealth and perform the No. 3 anti-reconnaissance tactical maneuver!" The captains of the two Rangers were the first to react.

Due to the destruction of the solar system's Gemini civilization probe, they lost their view of the inner solar system, and the traction beam revealed their position, and the Gemini civilization, which understood this, chose a small area of movement and turned on stealth in order to avoid being locked by the enemy's weapons.

Although it is not clear about the detection range and weapon system of the "Ante Empire" battleship, it is always right to be careful, and the agreement between the two sides does not say that it cannot be attacked.

As Ma Zhe had guessed before, the opponent's optical stealth system even hid its own thruster tail flame perfectly, and Ma Zhe temporarily lost the trace of the other party.

"Playing hide and seek? Unfortunately, you don't have a second way! Ma Zhe just glanced at the surveillance footage and retracted his mind.

Yes, Ma Zhe didn't even think that he would be able to accurately lock on to the other party from a long distance again, he only kept a few Eagle Eye Scouts to point the direction of the Ranger, and ordered all the reconnaissance network robots scattered throughout the solar system to start foraging for food and proliferate themselves.

In the long interstellar journey, the difference between a fraction of a millimeter is a thousand miles, so as long as the opponent's destination is the solar system, it is impossible to make a significant course change!

Between two points, the straight line is the shortest, and once the change of direction action is too large, not only will the fuel consumed increase significantly, but the deviation of the course will lead to a large increase in the time to reach the solar system.

Through the observation of the previous three days, Ma Zhe, who had already obtained the cruising acceleration and position of the other party, obtained the approximate time and direction of the other party's arrival, and now ...... Just wait for the rabbit.

According to calculations, the time for them to arrive in the solar system is about 50~55 days.

Of course, it is not impossible for the other party to change the course and consume more time in exchange for information advantage, but this will be more beneficial to Ma Zhe!

The mechanical worms under his command are growing rapidly every minute and every second, and if you are ten days late, I will be able to have one more frigate come out, and he wishes that the other party would take an S-shaped or B-shaped route.

And the "solar system reconnaissance network" that Ma Zhe arranged in advance ensured that unless you don't enter the solar system, you will definitely be surrounded by strong onlookers.

In addition, don't forget, in the eyes of the Gemini civilization, there is still an "Eight Knights" here in the solar system who is waiting for work, and the longer it drags on, the more it will be a situation where one loses the other!

It's not like the captains of the Gemini civilization are all IQ not on the line, and they rely on their relationships to get to the top, right?

In fact, as Ma Zhe had predicted, the two Rangers headed straight for the solar system after a few slight changes of direction to avoid locking......

……

Ma Zhe, who tried everything to buy more preparation time for himself, also began to prepare intensively!

He set his mind on the experimental area of the lunar base......

In an area that had been leveled up, a silver thruster of about 10 meters was spewing out dazzling purple flames, and a large cloud of dust was stirred up behind the flames, and the ground was trembling slightly.

The thruster was firmly held in place by five robotic arms on either side and directly in front of it, unable to move, and the slightly quivering robotic arms showed that they were experiencing tremendous recoil force.

Next to the thrusters, there are seven or eight small robots, watching the exchange of experimental data that is constantly emerging in front of them.

"Old Yu, this thing was actually brought out by you so quickly? Gee! With 90% of the output power, the thrust has reached 12,000 tons!

This single thruster could put an entire space station into Earth's orbit, right? This nuclear-powered propulsion is really sharp enough! One of them looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.

"This development speed is a little surprising even for me, the team leader, it was expected that it should take at least ten days to produce some results. We've submitted 21 improvement proposals, and you've been able to validate them all so quickly? Liang Guang next to him was also speechless.

"Not fast enough, still not fast enough, we have to take a bigger step, you have also seen the information about Gemini, we are running out of time!

The boss said that the scientific research achievements produced during this period of time will be rewarded with unlimited coins! And after the success of this project, the boss will also open the graviton technology and quantum technology tree to us!

So don't be conservative, any radical ideas can be mentioned, let's improve the scientific and technological strength of the organization in the shortest possible time! ”

Yu Lao said distractedly while connecting the brain chip to quickly analyze the experimental data in front of him.

Even in the virtual connection state, the brain chip can still work, if someone can look at the brainwave signal at the moment, they will find that it is much more active than when a normal person is connected.

"Well, we get it!" Speaking of the Gemini civilization, everyone's faces became serious, this is really scientific research to defend the earth, coupled with the stimulation of the "double points" activity, everyone has indeed been as energetic as chicken blood in the past two days.

Yu Lao nodded and looked at the thruster in front of him.

"Hmm...... There is still room for improvement in thrust! In addition, the vibration coefficient of the old beam and the propeller reaches 4, and the shock absorption system needs to be improved...... Let's go to the limit test! As he spoke, he maneuvered on the virtual console, and the power of the thrusters began to climb.

"93% power output...... 98%…… 100%…… 105%…… 115%……”

"Uh...... Old Yu, stop quickly, it will be dangerous to increase further! Liang Guang looked at it calmly at first, but when the output power in the corner of his eye exceeded 105% of the design safety line, it was still increasing, and his eyelids jumped and reminded loudly.

"It's okay, I'll apply for another one if it's scrapped, the most precious thing now is time, and experimental resources are all floating clouds for the boss!" Yu Lao calmly continued to push the virtual joystick while analyzing the experimental data pouring down like a waterfall.

As he spoke, the thruster's output had soared to 125% and was still rising.

The tail flame swelled, blowing a crater in the rear, and the five mechanical arms began to crunch with an overwhelming crunch, and the people around them were a little frightened.

"Hmm...... Does that seem reasonable? But...... Hey, hey! It's not just a matter of scrapping! If you don't get it right, it will ......."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out in front of Liang Guang, directly scorching the robot sensor he controlled, and then he felt the whole person float up......

Look at the blazing sun that exploded at the back of the moon's head.

Ma Zhe: "......"

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally discovered the first drawback of virtual reality technology...... In the case that you can't die even if you can't die, I'm afraid that death will become a habit of life......
