Road to science and technology

Chapter 626 Hesitation leads to defeat

For a moment, along with the phaser's beam of subatomic particles like the Six-Medium Divine Sword, photon torpedoes were fired from the barrel, one after another, towards the peak ship as if they were free of charge.

Due to the small size of the photon torpedo, its multifunctional engine is not a warp engine because it cannot be installed. Therefore, after these hundreds of photon torpedoes are fired out of the gun barrel, they are propelled by Starlink's conventional pulse engine. Driven by the pulse engine, its effective range is only 750,000 kilometers.

But that's enough for the current bee fleet.

However, what made Kirk dumbfounded was that after each photon torpedo was launched, it went straight through the dense swarm of bees and came to the rescue.

"Captain, our weapons are not enough to deal with such a battle. Photon torpedoes cannot track the bee fleet at all!" Spock kept staring at the data and reported the situation.

But he didn't expect that when he turned around, he happened to see Diana who had changed her clothes in seconds. Even though he was as calm as Spock, he couldn't help but be stunned by Diana's magical dressing mode.

Kirk couldn't help but turn around and saw Diana with a mantra lasso on her waist, a protective silver bracelet on her hand, a star on her forehead, winged shoes on her feet, and a Vulcan sword and divine shield stuck behind her back. She looked really heroic.

Seeing Diana transform into the Valkyrie again, Kirk felt a little relieved, because he guessed that the behavior of those peak ships should be to board the ship for combat. It was okay to have Diana when the enemy did not board the Enterprise. As long as he dared to come up, he might You can make a comeback.

This person usually can't think of a solution when he is in a hurry, but it may be different after he calms down.

Just like the current Kirk, although he is not a battleship captain, Kirk has a quick mind after all, so after calming down, he suddenly realized that the use of photon torpedoes was wrong.

So he immediately shouted in the bridge: "Attention to fire control, change the contact detonation of the photon torpedo to a timed detonation."

"Spock, calculate the dynamic distance between ourselves and the enemy, quickly. Send the data to the fire control radar!"

Spock understood immediately: "Right away, Captain!"

Unlike phase cannons, photon torpedoes require navigation and tracking assistance after being launched. Therefore, it is natural that the peak fleet group that reacts quickly cannot be hit, but who says it must be hit.

It's true that the phaser must hit to be effective, but the photon torpedo is equipped with antimatter warheads, which don't need to hit at all to explode.

Kirk had always thought wrong before.

Space battles are different from battles within planets. The only lethality of annihilation of matter and antimatter is the energy shock wave generated after the explosion, which is the generation of countless high-energy photons. All gamma rays and beta rays can be generated at this moment and then radiated around the universe.

Since there is no subsequent air shock wave, the aftermath of the explosion in space will be much smaller. This is actually one of the reasons why the Interstellar Federation mainly develops energy-based weapons.

At this time, Kirk looked at the emitted photon torpedo tail flames. The burning Mach rings gave him some confidence, and the number of more than three hundred rings gave him a little more confidence.

But this was not enough, so he then ordered: "Scott, the pulse engine is at full load, prepare to turn the ship around."

As Spock said, there were too many, and the weapons of the scientific research ship Enterprise could not cope with it. Kirk waited for about three hundred torpedoes to explode and then evacuated in the chaos.

At this time, the photon torpedoes rushed into the hive swarm as before, and the hive swarm was also very aware. When they found that the torpedo was approaching, they immediately started to dodge one by one under the control of some kind of coordinated wave band. They had already dodged once just now, and this torpedo was completely out of the way. Can't hit.

However, this time it was different. Just as the Feng fleet was about to avoid them, the three hundred photon torpedoes were detonated. First, the carbon disc support inside the photon torpedo was destroyed, and then the six pieces of positive and antimatter placed in the warhead at a ratio of 1:1 collided and came into contact.

Immediately afterwards, three hundred or so bright lights that were countless times brighter than hydrogen bombs lit up, and high-energy photons spurted out. Suddenly, short-wavelength photons radiated towards the bee fleet, producing a full-band electromagnetic interference.

There is no sound in space, so after the bright light of more than three hundred photon torpedoes flashed by, Kirk only saw thousands of peak fleets exploded, blooming with a pleasing sight like brilliant fireworks.

But Kirk was stunned because he didn't expect the effect to be so good. The same was true for Spock on the Enterprise, including him. In his opinion, even if all the torpedoes exploded, they would not be able to produce such power.

There must be something wrong somewhere, either us or the Peak fleet!

Before Spock could figure it out, he heard Chekhov exclaiming excitedly: "Great!"

"That's it, keep launching!" Kirk shouted. Well, the captain felt like he could win again.

However, the cruel reality told him that he was a scientific research vessel.

"Captain, there are not enough torpedoes. Besides, the Peak fleet is already attacking from both sides, too close!"

Kirk was silent. Just when he was about to call Sulu, he suddenly saw a group of follow-up peak ships rushing out of the light of the explosion, rushing towards him like locusts. They seemed to be even crazier. It was too late!

Blossoms of flames emerged from the Enterprise's large disk, and countless peak ships cut through the Enterprise's hull like sharp blades.

For a moment, everyone in the large disk with a height of thirty-three stories heard explosions, collisions, cracks and strong earthquakes coming from the metal shell.

The swarm did not hesitate at all, and tens of millions more ships circled around the large disk and circled behind the Enterprise. Their target was the fragile connection point between the warp engine and the hull.

"The shield frequency has failed, Captain!" Chekhov said.

Sulu spoke almost at the same time: "They destroyed the deflector and the shield cannot be used."

This wave of attack by the peak ship instantly wiped out Kirk's sense of winning. He walked back to his seat and said: "Get out of here at warp speed, Sulu."

"Yes, Captain!"

Kirk did not wait for the Enterprise to completely turn around, and immediately gave the order to evacuate. But he hesitated before. Zhang Beihai’s story tells us that hesitation leads to defeat.

Sulu pushed the warp lever hard and stared at the warp display, but no matter how hard he pushed, the data remained unchanged. At this time, the fragile warp engine connection between the two cart handles has been severed by the swarm.

"The warp engine cannot be started, Captain." Sulu said anxiously.

"Scott! I need to go into warp immediately."

He was answered with a crying voice: "I can't do it, the captain's warp module is gone!"

"Security, activate all emergency procedures. Activate code - Alpha Zero."

As he spoke, Kirk stood up, turned around, put his hand on Diana's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Diana, I don't care where you come from or how powerful you are, but you must listen to me now."

But he never thought that before he finished speaking, Diana raised her lips and said, "Steve, I know what you want to say. I will not leave. I will be with you until the last moment."

Looking at the captain at this moment, Diana thought of Steve who taught her how to fly when he was flying a plane. He used to fly a plane, but now he is still a pilot in this universe, but this plane is bigger and has become a space starship. It's my Steve

"All alert personnel are in place!" Along with the highest alert buzzer, the Enterprise emergency system issued an emergency command.

"Follow me!" Kirk let go of his hand and said solemnly.

However, at this moment, next to the Enterprise, a burst of space fluctuations suddenly appeared among the Peak fleet, and then a neutron star invisible in the visible light band appeared on the battlefield as if teleporting.
