Epoch of Twilight

"mayor!"

"mayor!"

...

Luo Yuan nodded slightly and walked into the central control room. It was already two or three o'clock in the morning, but there were still a large number of people on duty here. Luo Yuan walked quickly all the way to the console.

"Intelligent brain, let's see how they are fighting?" Luo Yuan ordered, the spacecraft's intelligent brain has a high level of intelligence, and can easily distinguish even vague instructions.

"Yes, Your Excellency Captain." Zhinao's soft voice sounded.

The main screen in the center suddenly changed the picture.

The battle there was intense. I don't know if it was because of interference or the long distance. The space behemoth in the picture is quite blurry, but it can still be seen that there are pieces of fire on its surface from time to time, and blood clots are also scattered all over the ground. , floating in space like a large number of gems, it has been injured.

The combat effectiveness of space fighters is still quite powerful. Take the electromagnetic bombs that attack today as an example.

The kinetic energy carried by each electromagnetic artillery shell is equivalent to the explosion of three or four thousand tons of TNT. Perhaps compared with nuclear bombs with a kinetic energy of more than 10,000 tons, the energy contained in it is not conspicuous, but who do you want to compare with? Compared with conventional missiles, it is more than six thousand times more powerful.

What's more, this cannonball is a super-dense alloy, with a mass of one kilogram and a volume smaller than a glass bead. Once hit, no matter how hard the body of the space creature is, no matter how powerful the defensive energy field is, in this kind of In front of the ultra-high-speed alloy warhead, it is not much thinner than paper.

This is a high strength, high density, high temperature resistant alloy.

A critical metal!

What are critical metals? As the name suggests, this is an intermediate metal between ordinary metals and supersolid metals. It uses ordinary alloys to undergo millions of tons of forging and extrusion, and a series of treatment methods such as magnetic fields to stabilize its form. The gaps between its atoms are relatively small, and even the gaps between atoms and electrons collapse slightly.

The density of the final smelted alloy can reach two to three times that of ordinary alloys, and at the same time, the entire physical properties have undergone a qualitative change. Its hardness is beyond human imagination. Even the hardest diamond, in front of this alloy, cannot It is as fragile as tofu, and its melting point can reach a minimum of 10,000 degrees Celsius, which is far beyond all ordinary alloys.

This is the highest level of Boxing metallurgical technology, and nano-materials have become the two pillars of Boxing technology. Of course, even the same type of alloy has different properties due to differences in uses and element ratios.

For example, the outer shell of the spaceship is made of iron-magnesium-titanium alloy with a density of 42, which is more than twice that of gold. Its energy-absorbing ability, human space fighters and super buildings are all made of this metal.

The Boxing people's aircraft, because of the pursuit of speed, uses a relatively light aluminum-lithium alloy, and its density is only twelve.

As for this special metal for electromagnetic bombs, it is an iron-tungsten alloy with an astonishing density of 98 points. It has a high degree of wear resistance, and it cannot be completely burned even in the atmosphere.

Coupled with the same strong hardness, once the warhead made of this alloy is hit, its destructive power is quite amazing. It will not explode on the surface of the object, but go deep inside, forming a more terrifying implosion.

The only thorny problem in this battle is that it is too big, no matter how big the damage is placed on it, it will be insignificant, and its vitality is also amazingly strong. Luo Yuan, who has experienced its terrible vitality, knows clearly that since To some extent, this kind of space life is almost "immortal". As long as the energy core is still intact, it is difficult to kill it completely.

Of course, Luo Yuan didn't think that this group of fighters could kill it completely. As long as the brain was destroyed like the previous space behemoth so that it would no longer wander around at will, the task would be considered complete.

However, although this is just a matter of a few electromagnetic guns, until now, its brain is still intact.

Gein is a creature that is very sensitive to danger. Although its huge size makes it inconvenient to move, it can always avoid fatal attacks in a limited space.

It seemed that there were many injuries and blood flowed like rivers, but in reality, they were just some insignificant injuries.

...

"How long have you been fighting?" Luo Yuan asked after watching for a while.

"Two hours, forty-five minutes and thirty-five seconds!" Zhinao replied.

Luo Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this. Although each space fighter carried a lot of warheads, they couldn't withstand such a high frequency of shooting. Calculated by emptying the inventory of 1.2 tons of ammunition per hour, they could only fight for another hour at most.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have let the space fighter carry an antimatter warhead." Luo Yuan thought to himself, but he was just thinking about it for nothing, and did not mention the preciousness of antimatter. If the antimatter destroys the energy core, then cry I can't even cry.

Maybe it was unable to attack for a long time, or maybe it was because the space creature had always been quite harmless, and the battle circle was getting tighter and tighter, especially one of the fighters was getting closer and closer to the giant beast.

However, at this time, there seemed to be an accident in the flight department, and there was a sudden noise.

"What's going on? Why is the display screen black?"

"Mine too, it seems that I can't connect to the fighter plane."

Several pilots in the flight department opened their eyes in confusion.

Captain Yuan Guoqing was also at a loss. He had repeatedly connected several times, but the microcomputer indicated that the connection failed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, a pilot suddenly pulled Yuan Guoqing, and pointed to the front quietly.

Only then did Yuan Guoqing realize that the mayor had also come over. He put down his helmet and stood up nervously, trotting along the way.

"mayor……"

Luo Yuan has heard their conversation just now, and waved his hands: "Go and summarize the combat experience, see where the problem is, and don't have psychological pressure, go back!"

For today's human beings, the loss of a few fighter planes is completely a drop in the bucket, and it is not a serious loss at all. If the productivity is fully released, such a fighter plane can be produced in only five or six days, less than one It can be fully replenished in a month, and at most it only consumes some resources.

Yuan Guoqing returned to his seat with a nervous expression on his face.

Looking at the scene where everything was still normal at this time, Luo Yuan frowned. The space fighters were still approaching, and the attack was still going on. He knew that this was because the incident happened too far away from the spaceship. There is a few minutes delay.

With the passage of time, the space fighter in the picture has approached all the way to less than ten kilometers away from the behemoth.

In space, this kind of distance is already quite dangerous. Whether it is for space behemoths or low-speed flying fighters at this time, it is less than a second away. Luo Yuan watched the screen closely, and the foresight had already seen Accidents are about to happen.

Maybe it felt the danger of its life, or maybe it finally found the enemy who hurt it. The light all over the body of this giant beast suddenly became brighter and brighter. The blue light flashed across the dark space in an instant.

In the next moment, all the fighter planes turned off instantly, even the farthest fighter plane would not be spared.

"Investigate the cause of the damage!" Luo Yuan's face suddenly became serious, and he asked Zhinao in a deep voice.

"A gamma-ray burst has just been detected, which lasts for fifteen nanoseconds and has a radiation intensity of 1 million MeV. It is suspected to be the main reason for the loss of contact with the fighter plane. This value is the intensity of a supernova blown to the solar system 60 light-years ago. One point three in a hundred thousand."

Luo Yuan's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, he knew that this small and pitiful value did not really represent the true power of this ultra-miniature gamma ray burst, this value was only the intensity tens of millions of kilometers away, and at close range, it was Instantaneous strength, absolutely beyond imagination.

Otherwise, it is impossible to lose the fighter plane.

After all, a space fighter is not an intraplanetary fighter. At the beginning of its development, the space environment was considered. Its anti-radiation and anti-electromagnetic capabilities are quite powerful. A gamma-ray burst or solar wind of ordinary intensity cannot do anything to it at all, unless Beyond the limit of its defense.

...

At this time, Luo Yuan noticed that on the main screen, the space behemoth that was originally blurred due to the interference of the force field seemed to have lifted a layer of veil and became extremely clear.

It was full of holes, wounds from the electromagnetic gun blasted all over the body, and the blood that flowed down was glued into balls due to weightlessness, floating around it in large numbers, like gems one by one.

The eruption just now seemed to have exhausted every ounce of its strength, making it completely silent. Not only did the energy layer on the surface completely disappear, but even the body remained motionless, floating in space like a corpse.

Luo Yuan looked at this giant beast for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice: "Zhinao, can the spaceship's laser rapid-fire cannon hit it?"

The entire spacecraft has four main particle cannons, four main electromagnetic cannons, and 125 laser rapid-fire cannons. Although the first two are main cannons, they are not suitable for attacking ultra-long-distance targets.

Although the particle cannon can accelerate the flow of particles to sub-light speed through the accelerator, but because the particles are not as easy to restrain as photons, they will quickly dissipate and the attack distance is not far. As for the electromagnetic cannon, the speed is too slow. The target has already moved thousands of kilometers away from its original location.

After all, this giant beast seems to be motionless, but in fact, there is no real motionless object in space, whether it is the sun or nearby planets, the gravitational force of these stars will make it move at an astonishing speed.

As for the laser rapid-fire cannon, although it is only a secondary cannon, as the main weapon for intercepting asteroids, its power is relatively weak. Naturally, it is relatively speaking, at least enough to kill a space behemoth that has lost its energy.

"Your Excellency, Captain, unfortunately, the probability of hitting is only 0.000167%!" Zhinao replied.

The hit rate of this probability is no different from zero.

Then Zhinao continued to explain: "It is already close to the sun, and its gravity bends the light. The observed target and actual position, after time correction, deviate from about 12' to 35'

Moreover, the star is a violent fluid, violent explosions occur all the time, the convection and horizontal movement change extremely violently, and the gravitational force changes slightly all the time, making all data unpredictable and impossible to calculate. However, if it can be close to one million kilometers, the success rate can rise to 1.45%. "

Regarding Zhinao's suggestion, Luo Yuan immediately vetoed it in his heart. On the one hand, the first trial flight has just ended, and it is not suitable to sail again. On the other hand, even if flying over, such a long distance cannot be reached in a short time.

Because the spaceship is not an unmanned space fighter, its acceleration must consider the ability of people to bear it. The acceleration is quite slow, generally controlled within 1G. After accelerating all the way, it will take at least three or four days to reach there. Such a long time, with its vitality, I'm afraid it has already recovered.

If you're unlucky, the other party releases another ultra-miniature gamma ray burst, and the spacecraft may even shut down.

Luo Yuan's face remained silent, looking at the space behemoth that had drained all its strength without moving. This opportunity is undoubtedly once in a lifetime. If you miss it, you don't know when it will be.

"Zhinao, open the top cabin, I'm going to space." After pondering for a while, Luo Yuan said.

"The order has been received, the top cabin is opening..."

After a while, he left the spaceship and appeared in space. He looked back at the spaceship, and immediately started the curvature flight, flying towards the target.
