Epoch of Twilight

At this moment, the intelligence brain seemed to detect something, and a large amount of data appeared on the left screen like a waterfall.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we have detected space creatures, which are 78.8 million kilometers away from the spacecraft." Zhinao said.

Luo Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then a surprise emerged.

Nowadays, wisdom medicine has already become an important driving force for human development, but due to the limited amount of active energy provided by the energy core, the production has not been able to increase.

A maximum of 2,000 tubes of wisdom potion can be provided each year. As of a week ago, according to statistics, the total number of people taking wisdom potion was only 6123. This number is pitifully low compared to the number of scientific researchers who have reached 300,000. In Luo Yuan's opinion, it is not enough. Not to mention that the whole people take the wisdom potion, but at least scientific researchers should be able to take it.

It’s not that he didn’t let scientists do related research on active energy. In fact, this kind of research has already begun during the reconstruction zone period, but this kind of energy is quite mysterious. It seems invisible in observations, and does not exist. It is an energy crystal in advanced mutated organisms. In the observation, except for the organic part, there is no trace of it, but it is paradoxical that it can actually affect life.

Even with the current technological level of human beings, there is still limited understanding of this kind of energy, let alone artificial acquisition. If you want to expand the production of wisdom medicine immediately, you can only hunt more space creatures at this stage.

It's a pity that the solar system is so vast, even with the advanced detection system of this spacecraft and its powerful computing and processing capabilities, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack if the number of space behemoths is no more than ten fingers in the vast solar system. There are still many stars blocking the line of sight, which increases the difficulty of finding it.

Therefore, for three years in a row, nothing was found.

Unexpectedly, in this first trial voyage, I was lucky enough to find one.

"Where is it?" Luo Yuan asked eagerly immediately.

"It's located behind Venus, on the side close to the sun!" While Zhinao was speaking, a huge Venus immediately occupied the big screen of the virtual reality scene. The dot is almost hard to be noticed, if it wasn't for this small dot, which was intentionally circled by the intelligent brain, and Venus was also magnified thousands of times, it would be difficult for anyone to notice this black dot, which is smaller than the eye of a needle.

"Magnify it!"

Before the words were finished, this small dot was already magnified by the brain, occupying the entire screen. Since the sun was behind it, this huge monster was heavily backlit, but the picture was quite clear.

Looking at his clumsy body like a sea creature, Luo Yuan felt more and more familiar with it. Isn't this behemoth the same space behemoth that he encountered on the moon? He didn't expect that he had gone there all these years.

However, Luo Yuan's sigh was not the sigh of old friends meeting again, he was full of malice.

Such space behemoths, staying in the solar system, are of no benefit to humans. This kind of creature is a miracle of life. Their evolutionary trajectory and technological development are completely the same. By analyzing their abilities, especially in terms of energy and force fields The application has an incomparable reference significance for the development of science and technology.

In fact, as Boxing's technology is gradually absorbed by human beings, some researchers have turned their attention to the mysterious ability of this extraordinary behemoth, and human beings have found the dawn of higher technology.

Therefore, even if it is not for the energy core, all the space behemoths must be killed to avoid leaving them to the later Boss interstellar spaceships.

It’s just that the space behemoth is too far away, and today is the first test voyage of the spaceship. It is too risky to let the spaceship go directly, and the time required for such a low-speed flight is too long. He bowed his head and thought for a while. Yes, he asked aloud, "Commander Sun, can space fighters be dispatched now?"

"Report to the captain, five fighter planes have been transported into the modified catapult depot and can be dispatched at any time." A middle-aged man immediately stood up from his seat, saluted, and said loudly.

"Then dispatch all of them, and target to kill that giant beast!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Five of the crew immediately put on special helmets. This kind of helmet has its own quantum communication. Through the micro-quantum computer in the eyeball, it can be directly connected to the space fighter for operation.

A few seconds later, the aircraft ejection cabin on one side of the spacecraft opened suddenly, and the next moment, five space fighters were ejected at high speed one after another by the spiral electromagnetic guide rail.

Before starting the engine, the initial speed of the space fighter has reached an astonishing 300 kilometers per second.

Subtracting the spacecraft's own speed of 150 kilometers per second, it means that it was accelerated from 0 meters per second to 150 kilometers per second in less than one second during the ejection process. , under the terrible pressure, even a piece of ordinary metal may have to be deformed, but these fighters have no effect at all.

Soon, these five fighters completed their ignition one after another. They flew towards the depths of space far away like an arrow from the string. Their speed became faster and faster, and they disappeared completely on the screen in a blink of an eye.

The spacecraft drove for more than an hour, and the test flight was successfully completed as planned.

Luo Yuan and a group of high-level executives left the control cabin one after another.

Anyway, the battle between the fighter plane and the space behemoth is a short-term thing. Even if the space fighter travels at the maximum safe speed, 1500 kilometers per second at full speed, the battle will take place in fourteen hours.

"Can those space fighters beat space behemoths?" Chen Xinjie, who was speechless all the way because there were too many high-level executives, finally couldn't help asking when she entered the office.

Since the engineering team went to the earth with great fanfare to collect the corpses of space behemoths, this mysterious and powerful creature has also been unveiled in the eyes of ordinary people. Fear has become a topic of discussion among people for a long time.

"You won't know until you fight!" Luo Yuan sat on the chair and lay down with a relaxed face.

To be honest, he didn't know what the final result would be, but with the mobility of the space fighter, even if it couldn't kill it, it was enough to escape. The only thing to consider was how strong its defense was.

Moreover, these five space fighters are no longer the first generation aircraft, but the second generation. The power of its electromagnetic gun alone has increased by 1.5 times, reaching 150 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to the power supplied by three Three Gorges Power Stations. able.

Although its warhead is only one kilogram, once fired, its power is not much weaker than that of a tactical nuclear bomb. What's even more powerful is that it can fire a shot in three seconds.

As for other weapons, naturally they have also been strengthened.

The fighter jets of the space fighters are not much weaker than the fighters of the Boxing people.

...

After chatting for a while, Chen Xinjie stopped disturbing Luo Yuan and left the office swayingly.

Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and began to deal with the mountain of documents.

The countdown has begun for human beings to leave the solar system. The verification of whether human beings have the ability to travel between stars and a new round of scientific and technological censuses are also in full swing. Recently, various departments have been busy, and even he has little time to spare. .
