Beneath Deep Space

There was silence in the captain's room, as if suppressed by a dark cloud.

There are a lot more people in the toilet than before. In fact, this is a stress response formed in ancient times. When a person is extremely nervous, the sympathetic nerves will begin to be excited, stimulating the person's endocrine system, which means a large amount of adrenaline will begin to be secreted.

These adrenaline can help the body's heartbeat and breathing accelerate, blood flow increases, and blood sugar levels rise, thereby enhancing strength and speed of reaction. Psychologically, it is called the "fight or flight response."

At this time, the excrement in the body is completely an unnecessary burden on the body and will only hinder fight or flight, so the body naturally wants to eliminate it.

In fact, it is not only humans who urinate out of fear, but also many animals, such as dogs, cats, and mice. This kind of excretion is beneficial to survival.

In order to avoid a series of mistakes caused by excessive tension, Yu Yifeng randomly found a topic: "Whether it is a war or an escape, we will make a judgment immediately based on the information we observe..."

"If you encounter a large ring-shaped spacecraft, don't attack it for the time being, because it may be a living area for lizards."

"... We estimate that we will have an information advantage of about 20 minutes when we leave the super-light speed at 0.4 light hours on the metal planet. In the first wave, if we want to attack, we must use the most violent means! Just like we want to escape, we must do it as soon as possible! "

"If a war does break out, use neutrino detection technology to scan the metallic planet as soon as possible to determine the structure and function of each area and understand its combat effectiveness."

"...Everyone knows, right?"

"knew!"

These things have been discussed over and over again countless times, and the reason for talking about them again now is just to relieve the tension.

At this time, a command from a senior officer came through the military channel: "The spacecraft is decelerating rapidly. Observers, please prepare! Observers, please prepare! The one-minute countdown begins..."

A countdown has lit up on the screen.

three……

two……

one……

When the last second countdown ended, the detection image finally came out. The moment the Future decelerated to its rated speed, it observed a massive amount of data coming from all directions.

A large number of pictures are processed by the computer and displayed on the screen in less than 0.1 seconds.

Good guy, this metal planet has really changed its appearance!

The originally uneven surface was completely smoothed, reflecting a dull metallic luster under the illumination of stars. There are hundreds of space elevators, large and small, at first glance!

Various spacecraft fly in synchronous orbit and serve as a starry sky dock at the upper end of the space elevator. The combat effectiveness of these starry sky docks should not be high.

The most threatening thing is the patrol spacecraft distributed near the metal planet within a radius of 20 astronomical units. Three of them are the size of the "Future" and are hundreds of kilometers in length. The densely packed weapons and equipment on the spacecraft show that they are serious military warships!

"This is their flagship!"

Everyone was discussing quickly, and the relevant computers and experts were already sitting at their posts and making rough estimates.

"There are 1,341 threatening targets in total!"

"First-level dangerous targets: 16. Second-level dangerous targets: 133. Third-level dangerous targets: 569..." These dangerous targets were all vaguely analyzed based on their body shape and spacecraft structure.

The moment Yu Yifeng saw this line of text, his heart beat wildly. There were more than a thousand enemy spaceships, which exceeded his expectations!

But the most important thing is that the new humans are not in a good position to escape from the speed of light. The shout of a communications soldier has reached the ears: "Report to the captain, the nearest large patrol spacecraft is relatively close to us. You’ll find us within minutes!”

"It's a large flagship!"

One minute? !

There was a burst of noise in the conference room. This damn spaceship was a large flagship, and it was so close to the "Future", which greatly shortened their judgment time.

"Fight or flight?!"

Yu Yifeng must make a judgment within one minute, otherwise, he may be discovered by the nearest spacecraft and lose his information advantage.

The sooner the better!

In 1 minute, it is impossible to hold a slow meeting, discuss for a while, then vote as a whole, etc. Only he...only he, the captain, can make emergency decisions!

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. He turned back and looked at Xu Yunjin.

He looked at Rimbaud and others again.

He didn't even have time to say any unnecessary words, nor did he understand what they were thinking... The fate of the new humanity was once again placed in his hands alone.

This fate is as heavy as Mount Tai...

"A flagship?" He was quickly calculating in his mind, trying to compare various gains and losses and make a final judgment.

There are only three large flagships of the Antaike civilization, and one of them is nearby. Isn't it... a good thing?

As long as it is blown up, it will be a great thing! Isn’t it the flagship?

His temples were pounding, and he gritted his teeth viciously, "Just do it!"

"Start the war!"

With this order issued, the hesitation in the entire conference room suddenly cleared away. Perhaps many people were thinking and hesitating... When Yu Yifeng made the final choice, they no longer thought about it.

The eight anti-matter cannons on the side of the Future, as well as a large number of ion cannons and laser weapons, were instantly aimed at the large enemy spacecraft 1 light away.

The war-specific computer quickly calculated the movement trajectory of the spacecraft, and then, white-hot antimatter beams were sprayed out, like a deadly death in space.

One minute later, the flagship should have observed the sudden appearance of the "Future". Its response speed was also extremely fast. Bright ion flames suddenly shot out from the stern of the ship, and the entire queue wanted to scatter.

But it's too late!

The time left for it is only a few seconds.

For such a large flagship, the huge volume and tonnage improve survivability, but reduce mobility to a certain extent. The engine works for a few seconds without changing direction on a large scale.

The antimatter beam follows closely...

Spanning 18 million kilometers, the accuracy was not particularly high. A total of three directly hit the spacecraft, resulting in a huge explosion!

"Okay!" There were shouts in the conference room.

But the good times didn't last long. Within a few seconds, everyone's expressions darkened. According to the observation photos afterwards, the antimatter beam suddenly became extremely bright hundreds of kilometers before hitting the enemy spacecraft.

This is an important sign of massive annihilation of antimatter.

The laser that was supposed to be transparent also showed bright light paths.

"smog?!"

Yu Yifeng yelled in his heart that these antimatter beams may have been consumed by some mist-like things, so the overall power was greatly reduced.

"...This civilization has a lot of experience in dealing with it."

"This kind of haze is indeed the biggest obstacle to anti-matter cannons. It can also block lasers and ion cannons."

Many high-energy weapons in the universe have high limitations when placed in the atmosphere, such as lasers, ion cannons, etc. Once the turbidity of the atmosphere is high, the range of these weapons is not long, and the energy will be consumed quickly.

This large spaceship with a length of hundreds of kilometers weakened the power of anti-matter cannons and ion cannons because of its excellent instant response, or the haze shells fired instantly. Of course, due to the slight haste, a small amount of antimatter still hit the hull, giving off an extremely bright light.

But Yu Yifeng knew in his heart that the flagship was still fully operational and had not been completely destroyed.

"It would be great if the main gun fires, and the power can be greater, but unfortunately...the angle of the spacecraft is not good." The main gun of the Future cannot rotate 360 ​​degrees, so it must be at a suitable angle to launch an attack.

After the first round of attacks, the enemy spacecraft quickly launched a series of counterattacks. Various small spacecraft began to accelerate suddenly and rushed over menacingly.

The attack range of 1 light minute is still a bit embarrassing, equivalent to 18 million kilometers, which is too far. The image observed was from one minute ago, but it has to hit the target one minute later. With the current accuracy, even if the opponent does not change its orbit, it can only barely hit...

A minute apart, as long as you keep changing the trajectory of movement, there is basically no hope of hitting the opponent. Because of the distance, the accuracy is too low.

"Who are you?! This is war! @#￥%" The observatory received an angry message from the other party. There was a series of threats later.

At the same time, a series of white-hot rays of light flashed near the Future.

"The one I'm beating is you!" There was a burst of noise in the captain's room, and even the last bit of hesitation was abandoned.

"Neutrino detection...start!"

"Destroy this spaceship within ten minutes!"

This explosion, due to the spatial distance, was still not observed by the metal planet and the surrounding enemy forces. Of course, with the rapid spread of light, the advantage of this kind of information is only a few minutes.

Currently, the Future and the flagship queue are still in a 1V1 duel.

According to the current strength of the new human civilization, the huge anti-matter main gun in the center is the ultimate attack method, and the 16 anti-matter cannons on the wings of the spacecraft are the main combat power. Ordinary ion cannons and advanced lasers supplement combat power.

There are also some miniature interception lasers, ion shields, etc. as defensive means.

Yu Yifeng didn't know whether the other party had the same weapon arrangement. But in theory, ion cannons, lasers and the like are conventional combat weapons in the universe, and their speeds can approach or reach the speed of light.

However, this type of long-range weapons all have a common shortcoming: they are defeated by a small haze, including but not limited to lasers, ion cannons, anti-matter weapons, etc.

Well, in space, ejecting haze is a very luxury, but it does not require any technical content. This kind of defense means the loss of a lot of material. But its defensive effect is really comparable to various high-tech shields.

According to this ejection speed, this spacecraft can create a large cloud hundreds of kilometers thick within ten minutes, consuming more than hundreds of millions of tons of material.

But the New Human Race is in a hurry and has no time to fight a war of attrition with it here.

"Come closer and fight again!" Yu Yifeng gritted his teeth and ordered loudly. After a short period of judgment, he decided that even if he paid a certain price, he had to blow it up completely and injure all five of his fingers. It was better to cut off one of his fingers. This was the opponent's base camp, backed by a metal planet and a large number of other spaceships. , before these spaceships can react, it is the right choice to directly kill this large flagship here.

The current long-distance weapons have lost their effectiveness. Close combat is the most destructive method. A large number of kinetic energy weapons, interstellar missiles, or nanobug weapons can be used in close combat, and they cannot be defeated by a small mist. Haze restrained.

These close combat weapons are more accurate and more destructive than firing a few cannons from a distance.

"Lean over, lean over!"

"The expected nearest distance is... one hundred thousand kilometers!" Various voices on the military channel kept coming. Of course, the military channel has been divided into many levels, and all Yu Yifeng can hear are the communications between senior officers.

The Future has a "dark matter deflection shield", coupled with a variety of high-performance materials, the performance of the aircraft is likely to be able to crush the opponent.

This is a dangerous but sure attempt, because with this technology, their spacecraft can turn at warp speed, and can circle a huge arc at sub-light speed!

This also means that the mobility of the "Future" far exceeds that of ordinary interstellar civilization spacecrafts. It can fight and escape whenever it wants.

The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly, and various lasers and ion cannons were shooting like raindrops like crazy. There is a troublesome dark cloud in the middle, and when all weapons pass through it, they will produce bright light paths.

At this time, the expert team also judged the technological level of Antek civilization.

"It's really not as good as the new human civilization."

"...Their large flagship does not have mature ion shield technology."

Three minutes later, the small drones started fighting. Cheap and efficient kinetic energy weapons have become the mainstream. Electromagnetic guns the size of soybeans can still play their role on the battlefield. Of course, there are also a large number of nano bug weapons mixed in among them.

Various microwaves transmitting the energy of nanobugs permeate the battlefield. Such microwaves may be intercepted and interfered with. Electronic scientists are also nervously trying to decipher the enemy's microwaves... so there is another electronic war hidden on the frontal battlefield.

The Future is not in any particular danger yet. It is orbiting at 0.2 times the speed of light at high speed with the enemy's flagship as the center, drawing a huge elliptical arc one million kilometers long. At this speed, the opponent's drone has no way to catch up, and even the speed of the electromagnetic gun can't catch up! There are also very few lasers that can hit.

The entire battlefield has been greatly suppressed by the enemy in a few minutes. This is also the first time people have seen the powerful power of the Future.

After occupying such a favorable time and place, and even sneaking a surprise attack on the enemy, if there is still fighting... there is no need to fight at all, just run away.

Seeing this kind of suppression, Yu Yifeng also relaxed slightly.

The expert team is constantly judging the direction of the battlefield: "The opponent's drones cannot match ours in performance. Theoretically, the drones alone can slowly swallow up the flagship. The haze cannot stop the electromagnetic artillery shells Ah, because of this thick layer of smog, the opponent's interception laser cannot intercept the electromagnetic gun immediately..."

"Six minutes have passed. Some of the opponent's support fleets have started their warp engines and are rushing here. There is still less than two light minutes away."

"So fast!" Upon hearing the news, Yu Yifeng's heart suddenly moved.

He immediately issued another order: "Start the charging process of the anti-matter main gun! Adjust the attack angle of the Future and approach the enemy flagship..."

He felt that if he continued to consume like this, he would certainly be able to win, but... it would be too slow!

"Is there any way to disperse this smog?" Yu Yifeng took advantage of this opportunity and asked.

"...Use nuclear bombs or anti-matter missiles directly to blow them up! At least the ground can be blown up a little thinner! In this way, the anti-matter beam may be able to penetrate through." Xu Yunjin said without hesitation.

"Take one shot, the latest developed...photon torpedo!"

That's right, antimatter railgun, or photon torpedo for short.

Once the cannon is fired, there is ten thousand taels of gold. This luxurious large-scale electromagnetic gun symbolizes the most powerful kinetic energy weapon and energy weapon of the new mankind. It looks like a large torpedo. In order to restrain the violent antimatter, a large number of composite technologies and advanced materials are used.

There is also a small nuclear fusion device inside to power it, and it even has certain turning technology and heat source tracking capabilities.

You know, this is just a cannonball, and its industrial cost is also horribly high. The cost is limited to serious super-light missiles.

However, hyperlight missiles are ultra-long-range weapons that require acceleration over a long distance and are not suitable for such close combat.

Three such photon torpedoes were fired from the main gun exit of the Future spacecraft. Their initial speed is as high as 30,000 kilometers per second, which is one-tenth of the speed of light.

The drone formation surrounding the opponent's flagship detected these electromagnetic cannons and tried to find a way to intercept them. But in fact, the inside of the photon torpedo is antimatter, and even if it is intercepted, a huge explosion will occur.

Ten seconds later, three small sun-like light clusters appeared in the space. When they saw these light clusters, everyone became excited: an opportunity had arisen.

Huge light groups, with a diameter of more than 600 kilometers, illuminate hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space.

One of them was right in the center of the haze cloud, and even faintly affected the enemy's flagship!

Yu Yifeng didn't expect that a little aftermath could destroy it. However, the ultimate weapon of the Future, the anti-matter main gun, is being charged. As long as the cloud is blown up... the enemy flagship will be finished!

…

(PS: Why two-in-one?

Because the subscription is low, I am publishing two chapters now, and it is possible to reduce the average subscription. Two-in-one, at least it won't degrade. )

Another thing is...after coding it, I am too lazy to divide it into chapters.

There will be no updates at night.
