Chapter 209 The Appearance of Unknown Enemies

It's a pity that this sentence didn't spread, the image transmitted from the Mantis was distorted and disappeared, and the fleet failed to hear Bai ICE's final call.

At the tip of the droplet's tail, a blue halo appeared. The halo was small at first, but very bright, shrouding everything around it in blue light.

It expanded rapidly, and its color changed from blue to yellow and finally to red, as if the halo was not produced by water droplets, but the former had just drilled out of the ring.

The halo diminished in luminosity as it expanded, disappearing when it expanded to about twice the largest diameter of the water droplet.

At the same time as it disappeared, a second small blue halo appeared at the tip, which expanded, changed color and dimmed in brightness like the first one, and disappeared soon.

Under the high temperature of the halo, the Mantis instantly melted like a candle, but the melting had just begun, and the spaceship exploded directly.

The fleet clearly observed the explosion of the Mantis 49 kilometers away, and the sudden disappearance of the remaining [-] water droplets. Everyone's first reaction was that the water droplets self-destructed.

They first grieved for the sacrifice of the four members of the expedition team, and then they were disappointed that the water droplet was not a peace messenger. However, all human beings have not made the minimum psychological preparation for what is about to happen.

The first anomaly was discovered by the Fleet Space Monitoring System computer, which was processing images of the Mantis explosion and found some debris that was not normal.

Most of the fragments are molten metal, and after the explosion, they all fly at a constant speed in space, and only a small part of the fragments is accelerating.

Of course, only a shipboard photonic computer can detect this tiny event from the huge amount of flying debris.

It immediately searched the database and knowledge base, extracted a huge amount of information including all the information of the Mantis, and made dozens of possible explanations for the appearance of this strange fragment, but none of them were correct.

The shipboard artificial intelligence, like human beings, did not realize that what was destroyed by this explosion was only the Mantis and the four-person expedition team in it, and did not include more things.

The Fleet Space Monitoring System issued only a Level [-] attack alert for this accelerating piece of debris, as it was not coming directly at the fleet, but headed toward one corner of the rectangular array.

According to the current direction of movement, these strange fragments will pass outside the array and will not hit any battleship.

The fragments didn't pass by the array from there, but turned an acute angle of [-] degrees, without slowing down at all, and headed straight for the fleet.

When it took about two seconds to fly this distance, the ship's supercomputer actually lowered the debris alert from level two to level three.

According to the reasoning of artificial intelligence, this piece of debris is not a mass entity, because it has completed a movement that is impossible from the perspective of astrodynamics.

That is, at twice the speed of the third universe, making such a sharp-angle turn without deceleration is almost equivalent to hitting an iron wall at the same speed.

If this is an aircraft, the overload generated by this turn will instantly crush the spacecraft into a thin film, so the debris can only be a phantom.

And just like that, the first drop hit the Infinity Frontier's heavy-element fusion reactor and passed through it like a shadow without resistance.

Due to the extremely fast impact.On the hull, where the water droplets crash into and pass through, there are only two very regular round holes, the diameter of which is equivalent to the thickest part of the water droplets.

But as soon as the round hole appeared, it deformed and disappeared, because the surrounding hull was melted due to the heat generated by the high-speed impact and the ultra-high temperature of the water droplets propelling the halo, and the section of the hull that was hit was quickly in a red-hot state.

This red glow spread outward from the point of impact, and soon covered half of the Infinity Frontier. This giant ship seemed to be a big iron block just taken out of the forge.

The rest of the water droplets also quickly started to act, responsible for destroying the Star Destroyer strike group around them. In the next minute, fifty water droplets destroyed more than 1 star-class warships.

Up until this point, Starfleet's chain of command hadn't reacted or even noticed the incident.

The fleet's battlefield information system faithfully fulfilled its mission, completely recording the battlefield information of the previous minute and 18 seconds through a huge monitoring network.

The amount of this batch of information is huge, and it can only be analyzed by the computer battlefield decision-making system in a short period of time, and such a conclusion has been drawn through the analysis.

A powerful enemy space force appeared in the nearby space and launched an attack on our fleet, but the computer did not give any information about this force.

Only the following two points can be determined, firstly, the enemy space power is in the position of the water droplet, and secondly, this kind of power is invisible to all detection methods of human beings.

At this time, the commanders of the three major fleets were all in a state of trembling and numbness. In the past two centuries of space strategy and tactical research, they had imagined various extreme battlefield situations.

But witnessing a thousand warships being blown up like firecrackers within 1 minute is still beyond their psychological capacity.

Facing the flood of information from the battlefield information system, they can only rely on the analysis and judgment of the computer battlefield decision-making system, and focus on the detection of the invisible enemy fleet that does not exist.

As a result, a large number of battlefield monitoring forces began to cast their sights into the depths of space far away, ignoring the immediate danger.

There are even quite a few people who believe that this powerful invisible enemy may be a third-party alien force other than humans and the three bodies.

Because Trisolaran is already a weak loser in their subconscious mind, how could such a weak civilization destroy the mighty Starfleet?
The fleet's battlefield monitoring system did not detect the presence of the water droplet early on, mainly because the droplet is invisible to radar at all wavelengths, so it can only be detected from the analysis of imagery in the visible light band.

However, in the monitoring information of the space battlefield, visible light image information is far less important than radar information, and the huge amount of debris on the battleship also makes the battlefield even more chaotic.

However, the top management of the three major fleets did the right thing, that is, let all the warships deploy electromagnetic shields to resist the attacks of unknown enemies.

At the same time, the shield ships in each Star Destroyer strike group quickly became busy, and the super-giant electromagnetic shields covered every warship in the Star Destroyer strike group.

The electromagnetic shield can form a layer of high-temperature plasma around the spaceship through magnetic confinement technology. The purpose is to use the high-temperature plasma to interfere with the weapons launched by the Trisolaran fleet.

The plasma generated by the electromagnetic shield has a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, but unfortunately, the high temperature of the plasma cannot harm the water droplets at all, and it can't even play a blocking role.
