The road to technology

Chapter 625 finally raised the shield

Enterprise emerges from thick interstellar dust.

This piece of dust is so weird that it is difficult for the electromagnetic signal of the entire star field to propagate.However, no matter how thick the interstellar dust is, it is impossible to cover the entire star field.

For example, the Outemide star in front of me is located. Because of the relationship of the star system, the interstellar dust here was swallowed by stars billions of years ago.

This is inevitable, because if there is such a thick layer of interstellar dust in the orbit of the planet, then the planet would have long since ceased to exist, and it would slow down more and more due to the drag of the dust until it finally fell to the star.

Unless the planet is equipped with a planetary engine, give it a boost every now and then to maintain a stable orbit.

It's amazing to say that in the Star Trek universe, humans can breathe on almost all living planets.Therefore, although aliens look strange, they basically breathe oxygen.

This planet is no exception, and what illuminates it is a young star, because in the depths of the nebula, the light of this star is almost absorbed by the thick interstellar dust except for the warmth it brings to the planet.

Seen from the outside, this place is a vast darkness without even stars.

So when the Enterprise came out of the space full of interstellar dust and asteroids, they were relieved to see the universe suddenly opened up, and there was a feeling of seeing hope after being depressed for a long time.

Thinking about it, Tao Yangming dreamed of going to Peach Blossom Spring, which should be the feeling.When the water source is exhausted in the forest, there is a mountain with a small mouth, as if there is light.Then she left the boat and entered from the mouth.At the beginning, you are extremely narrow, and you are able to understand people.Go back dozens of steps, suddenly see the light.

If the crew of the Enterprise had studied Peach Blossom Spring, they should feel this way at this time.After all, the Enterprise did not dare to sail at warp speed in the dust and endless asteroid belt before.

"This is Othemides, where my ship is stranded."

After being confirmed by the rescue woman, the Enterprise began to approach the planet, and at the same time as the science officer, Spock also began to operate the instrument to scan and observe the planet.

"Close to Outemides, an M-class planet. There is a lot of underground activity, but there is hardly any life form on the surface."

Inside the bridge, Spock calmly explained the scan results.But Kirk could hear the worry in his tone.

M-class planets are habitable for humans.But no signs of life were scanned.

Coupled with the words of the old bones before, Kirk's suspicion became stronger.

He believes that there are two situations. The first is that the scanning instrument of the Enterprise has made an error. How can a habitable planet not have the characteristics of life forms? After all, the rescuer said that he crashed here.If there is no life, who caused them to wreck?

Is it an unsolved mystery of science?

Kirk didn't think so, he didn't think the instrument was wrong.Then there is another possibility that the rescuer is lying, and the instrument cannot detect life on the planet, which is probably the same as this star field.

but why is this lady lying
Before Kirk could figure it out, he heard Chekhov speaking nervously with a Russian accent: "The unknown object is approaching the alarm, Captain!"

Chekhov's ancestors were Russians, and his dream was to be a navigator.Now he has done it and is very competent. Now when everyone hears his accent, they think of Gagarin, the first human being to go to space.

Chekhov's urgent and fast voice sounded from the bridge: "There is an unknown spaceship approaching us!"

Kirk immediately ordered: "Captain Uhura, contact them."

"Yes, Captain!" Uhura was the communications officer on the Enterprise, and she was good at it.

Brown hands fluttered over the keyboard, and the screen kept changing with his movements. She deftly emitted electromagnetic waves of different frequency bands used by the Interstellar Federation to communicate with other civilizations.

After a while, Uhura turned her head to look at Kirk, and also saw Diana, who was the only one in the bridge who was doing nothing. She frowned and said, "There is no response on all band signals, but I detected some kind of signal. They... in interfere with us."

When she said this, the bridge immediately became tense, and everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on the big screen on the bridge.

Kirk also felt that something was wrong. He stood up from the captain's position and walked two steps forward to approach the big screen, saying at the same time: "Zoom in, Sulu."

Marked signal interference points appeared on the enlarged screen, but the true colors were not fully revealed.Kirk returned to his senses with a serious expression, looked at the woman for help, and asked, "What is this?"

"Steve, she really has a problem, do you want to take this peach head?" Diana stepped up and raised her arms.

"Oh wait."

Kirk raised his forehead, now is not the time for infighting, he turned and stared at the screen.The old bones also came to ask questions, looking at the gradually enlarged things on the screen.

A large piece of things that finally flew out of the planet revealed their true colors in the light of the stars, it was a thing like a swarm of insects.

In the picture, they have begun to unravel.If overwhelming is used to describe the transit of locusts, then this swarm of small battleships is the interstellar swarm.

"Raise the shield, red alert!" Kirk shouted hastily.

But he was wrong, the shield of the Enterprise is a polarized shield, of course it has an effective defense against energy weapons, but the attack of these peak ships is a direct impact.

The peak fleet composed of hundreds of millions of peak ships is like a swarm of interstellar insects. After rushing out of the planet, it rushed towards the Enterprise in a mighty manner.These peak ships are the technology of a certain alien civilization, and now they are obtained by Claude. Their attack method is very simple, that is, to collide, and use their numbers and their own strong hulls to tear apart the enemy ships.

"Oh~ hell." Old Bones sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Free fire!" Kirk yelled.

The Enterprise was fully fired, and the phase guns in all parts were crazily firing at the Peak Ship. Due to the large number of Peak Ships, from the perspective of the Enterprise, it was almost impossible to see the Aldmira star behind the Peak Ship Group, so The phaser gun doesn't need to be aimed at all.

The gunner of the Enterprise only needs to fire forward, and there is no possibility of missing the target.

The phase cannon array on the Enterprise's disk kept flashing fire, and the particle stream of the phase cannon kept shooting towards the peak ship like a laser.In just ten seconds, dozens or even hundreds of peak ships were hit by phaser guns.

The photon torpedo was loaded and fired without hesitation.

The firepower of the phaser is actually very fierce, because the subatomic particle beam emitted by the stimulus will release a large amount of energy when it hits an obstacle and destroy the atomic results of the obstacle.

Therefore, even if it is as strong as a peak ship, its atomic structure will be destroyed if it is hit, and then it will explode and be destroyed.

But the number of peak ships is too much, and dozens of hundreds of ships exploded are completely the same as missing.

"Captain, our phaser guns have little effect! Our torpedoes can't track their movement." Chekhov spoke so quickly that some words had a characteristic Russian tongue.

"The deflector shield has been loaded, Captain!" Sulu said something that made Kirk happy at a critical moment.

Kirk's face was serious when he heard the words, but his tone seemed very calm: "Launch all weapons, and the photon torpedo is equipped with positive and negative matter annihilation warheads."

The photon torpedo is an upgraded version of the Interstellar Federation space torpedo, which can carry a variety of warheads.At present, the most powerful thing on the Enterprise is of course the anti-matter annihilation warhead.

Following Kirk's order, the crew of the Enterprise became busy, and even Wonder Woman began to prepare.
