It can now be concluded that the Tiberians have not given up on the space-time gate orbiting Rutan 726-6 and have not deployed heavy troops here because they believe that the huge transparent spherical cover can effectively resist foreign invaders.
They have enough confidence.
Based on the streamer characteristics displayed when the transparent spherical cover is activated, Zhou Yun vividly calls it a light shield.
Regarding what kind of defensive weapon the light shield is, Li Sujia and Zhou Yun first ruled out the kind of protective device similar to that of an interstellar battleship, because the latter is attached to the surface of the ship's body, and its energy loading and operation must rely on The starship itself can only be realized and cannot work independently.
The light shield is self-contained and has nothing to do with the protected gate of time and space, nor does the two share a system. It is like a huge cover blocking any object that attempts to approach the gate of time and space.
"Destroy it!" Xiao Hang said viciously.
Xiao Hang's words seemed to remind Li Sujia. She looked at Zhou Yun and Liu Hanyang, and they nodded.
It was not that Li Sujia had never thought about using force, but she was worried that a hasty war would lead to a violent counterattack by the Taibo people. Without understanding the enemy's situation, caution was necessary.
But now, this indestructible light shield is like an insurmountable chasm. If you want to achieve your goal, you must destroy it.
For the sake of safety, Li Sujia ordered the formation to maneuver into outer space to keep enough space away from it to guard against the opponent's outflanking and unexpected attacks.
Soon, the formation maneuvered to a star field about 15 million kilometers away from the light shield. This is an area considered to be relatively safe. At this distance, any attack by the Tiberians will be warned in advance and there will be enough reaction time. .
In order to completely destroy the light shield, Li Sujia sent a special force consisting of a small interstellar spacecraft, 20 space vehicles, and 30 heavily equipped combat flying mechas to the star field about 10,000 kilometers away from the target, preparing to launch an attack on it. A fatal blow.
After the special force arrived at the predetermined attack star area, Li Sujia divided it into three attack teams and distributed them around the small interstellar spacecraft in the shape of horns to support and assist each other when the Taibo aliens counterattack.
After each attack unit was in place, Li Sujia issued the order to attack. In one moment, more than 400 dark matter space missiles rushed towards the target like a dense rain of arrows...
Immediately afterwards, a group of electromagnetic pulse bombs and airtight laser beams rushed towards the target with thunderous momentum...
More than 30 seconds later, more than 400 dark matter space missiles were the first to hit the light shield. They hit more than one-third of the target area. The rapid explosion and the fire that rushed into the sky illuminated the target area brightly, and also A perfect circular pattern is outlined.
But only for a moment.
After the explosion, the light shield remained intact, and everything fell into silence amidst the disappearing fireworks.
Only a few seconds after the first wave of attacks, the second wave of attacks arrived as promised. Thousands of electromagnetic pulse bombs and laser beams hit the target again, accompanied by groups of firework-like fires that bloomed one after another. The light shield was still intact.
It fell silent again in a faint burst of light.
Everyone silently stared at the picture on the wartime holographic monitoring screen, with surprise on their cheeks.
"The target's damage level is...zero point zero..." Zhou Yun said sadly. The facts made her unable to bear to say any more.
If I was surprised just now, I am shocked now.
It's not like everyone has never fought against the Tiberians. Even their most advanced interstellar battleships with super strong protective barriers will be slightly damaged in the first violent attack. The most direct one is the protective power of their protective barriers. decline.
According to previous battle data, the lowest is around 0.05%, but the light shield was actually undamaged!
"Try again! Maybe the detector that collected the damage data has... malfunctioned." Liu Hanyang said.
Li Sujia looked at the two of them, and after thinking, her eyes fell on the wartime holographic monitoring screen. On the screen, there was a ray of light, as beautiful as a total solar eclipse, and the gate of time and space. At this moment, it was more like an evil and greedy black hole. , and the light shield on its periphery is more like the fangs of a devil.
The third wave of attacks began. This wave of attacks increased the intensity of the attack. The three special operations teams, including the small interstellar spacecraft that led the way, launched a total of more than 1,000 dark matter space missiles and 3 missiles at the light shield. The electromagnetic pulse bombs and laser beams are twice as large as those of the first wave.
The result was the same as the first wave of attacks, which did not cause any damage to the light shield.
Facing the light shield that was as solid as a copper wall and an iron wall, everyone was helpless for a while. They stared at it blankly, hoping to find a way to break it, but for a while they had no clue.
30 minutes have passed, and the three attack teams are still hovering quietly in the attack position. They have neither launched any more attacks on the target, nor have they received orders to return.
Their current situation also indirectly reflects the psychological state of Li Sujia and others, that is, they are unable to advance, unable to attack, and unwilling to retreat.
However, there is one fact that finally calmed down the high-spirited hearts of Li Sujia and others, that is, the safety of the attack team proved that the Taibo people did not deploy any fleet near the gate of time and space, not even a starship. .
It seems that the Taibo people are confident enough to believe that the light shield can effectively complete the defense task of the gate of time and space, which directly proves its super protective ability.
Its protective capabilities appear to be impeccable.
"It took us nearly three years to cross a distance of one light-year. We can't just give up!" Xiao Hang said impassionedly.
Everyone was silent. They understood what Xiao Hang meant, which was to launch an all-out attack on the light shield in one battle until it was completely destroyed. But the cruel facts proved that doing so was of no use at all.
According to the data simulation of the first two waves of attacks, if you want to break through the light shield, even 1% of its damage will require a sustained attack by a large interstellar warship such as the "Taimiao" for nearly an hour to be effective.
Just when everyone was confused, suddenly, a violent screen flash appeared on the wartime monitoring holographic screen, as if a super strong particle flow had attacked the special operations team. Before everyone could fully react, they saw The screen suddenly goes black.
Immediately afterwards, the armed escort spacecraft where everyone was seated began to tremble violently, and the large and small equipment and instruments on the spacecraft emitted harsh beeps and frantic self-tests.
After about 1 minute, the phenomenon finally stopped.
When the wartime monitoring holographic screen was restored, the scene before everyone's eyes was horrific. In the original attack position, in addition to the leading small interstellar spacecraft, there were 20 space vehicles and 30 combat flying mechas from 3 attack teams. All gone.
The tragic situation of the small interstellar spacecraft was also shocking. Its outer skin was completely destroyed, and the equipment and combat robots inside had long since disappeared, leaving only a dilapidated skeleton.
Soon, Zhou Yun launched the search detector. After nearly an hour of search, she finally found a large amount of debris in the star field about 30,000 kilometers away from the attack direction.
There were both the wreckage of the space vehicle and the wreckage of the combat flying mecha. There was no doubt that they were three attack teams.
The wreckage was in the shape of an arc that was concave inward, and was obviously crushed and pushed here by a powerful force.
Further detection revealed that the three attack teams were destroyed by a huge energy gamma ray burst ejected by the star Rutan 726-6.
For Rutan 726-6, which has absorbed a large amount of energy from the Tiberians and has become extremely unstable, high-intensity gamma ray bursts have become commonplace.
Although its intensity is not as strong as the gamma ray burst erupted by a pulsar, it is thousands of times more powerful than the particle storm erupted by a massive star in its stable period.
It's enough to destroy everything at close range.
Fortunately, the task force, which was 15 million kilometers away, survived this high-intensity gamma ray burst and suffered only minor damage.
Now, there are two problems, or two enemies, before the task force. One is a rock-solid light shield, and the other is an unpredictable gamma ray burst that can destroy everything.
If you want to seize the Gate of Time and Space, you must destroy the light shield. But if you want to destroy the light shield, you must get close to it. But if you get close to it, you will be attacked by a gamma ray burst.
This is simply an unsolvable problem.
Everyone fell into thinking for a long time, and most of them were helpless and confused.
Among all the people, only Zhou Yun's eyes were fixed on the wartime monitoring holographic screen. The halo-like space-time gate on the screen was emitting bright light outwards, and the dark circular structure on the inside was like an unreadable... Eyes, silently staring at the silent starry sky.
Also stared at Zhou Yun.
Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she had discovered something, and she looked happily at Liu Hanyang and Li Sujia. The two looked at each other, a little confused.
"What's the matter, Yun?" Liu Hanyang asked quickly.
"The Gate of Time and Space!"
"What happened to the Gate of Time and Space?"
Zhou Yun composed herself and tried to calm down. After she calmed down, she said: "The gate of time and space is still intact, which proves that the gamma ray burst did not have any impact on it!"
"What does this mean? Does it mean that the light shield's protective power is even more amazing?" Xiao Hang said disapprovingly.
"No! It's not the light shield! It was the extinguishing of the Gate of Time and Space that prevented it from being attacked by the gamma ray burst!"
"What did you say? Extinguish it?" Liu Hanyang looked at her in surprise.
"Yes, it was extinguished! When the gamma ray burst erupted, I saw the gate of time and space extinguished briefly."
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
Liu Hanyang seemed to see hope. According to the intensity of this gamma ray burst, the super high-energy particle storm formed by it is likely to only cause a devastating blow to small objects such as spacecraft within a certain distance, but not to the space and time. A very large object like a door can only destroy the components and circuits within it.
The best way to protect internal components and circuits is to cut off the power supply during a gamma ray burst and render it completely inactive.
If what Zhou Yun said is true, then the extinction of the Space-Time Gate means that it is avoiding the impact of gamma ray bursts, which proves that the light shield covering it does not provide effective protection against gamma ray bursts.
The temporary extinguishing of the gate of time and space means that the time shield may also be extinguished when a gamma ray burst occurs!
Li Sujia quickly called up the image of the gamma ray burst. Sure enough, as Zhou Yun said, at the beginning of the burst, the door to space and time went out, and the time interval from going out to lighting up again was as long as 35 seconds.
"Now it can be completely concluded that the light shield and the gate of time and space were extinguished at the same time." Liu Hanyang said confidently.
Li Sujia looked at the door of time and space calmly. After a moment, he said thoughtfully: "If your guess is correct, then when the next gamma ray burst erupts, excluding the 15 seconds of its explosion and spread, we will There will be 20 seconds to enter the gate of time and space without any hindrance."
