After the senior officer finished speaking, he motioned to a scientist next to him to continue what he said. The members of the nine major detachments all sat quietly, motionless.
"The alien fleet has a huge formation. Whether it is the military or our scientific personnel, many people feel that they are invincible and have extremely pessimistic thoughts of failure. In fact, there is a misunderstanding in thinking. Of course, they are indeed very powerful. But there is a difference between strong and powerful. If we think about it from another angle, we will find that a huge formation means that they think they need so many warships to defeat us!"
The blue-haired scientist paused for a moment after expressing his judgment, glanced at the soldiers in front and below, and then continued: "According to the principle of rationalization and the principle of utilization, if they only need one battleship, they can defeat all our forces. , then they will never send any more. The consumption required for the interstellar expedition is completely astronomical!
Therefore, their technology may not be much higher than ours, at least not as huge as we imagine.
In the same way, after our analysis, this wave of long-range attacks will not be as unpredictable and terrifying as outside rumors. We know that no matter what kind of energy is used as the carrier of the attack, if it launches an attack at such a long distance, The consumption on the way is extremely huge. Even if the speed is very fast, the power of the attack may be less than one thousandth by the time it reaches the target position.
Of course, here, we have first ruled out that they possess advanced weapons that we cannot understand at all and can be called miraculous. Therefore, for the time being, it should be in line with Ops's energy level law.
But that being the case, why do they still attack from such a long distance? In other words, think about it from a new perspective, what kind of weapon is most suitable to activate at such a long distance? And once you get close, you will lose such an opportunity?
After analysis by the Science Hall, this wave of attacks is most likely not an attack that uses energy as a carrier, but is likely to accelerate a material with mass over such a long distance. This allows it to have enough time and space to accelerate to extremely high speeds, converting all propulsion energy in excitation losses into extremely high-quality material weapons.
This conclusion is most in line with the principles of rationalization and utilization. It is also the best way that the other party may ultimately adopt under the high-tech framework that we can estimate.
But according to this inference. One thing we must admit is that for such a long-range strike weapon, the mass converted from the propulsive energy will inevitably lead to unpredictable gravitational fluctuations. Then, if the target is accurately positioned, the strike can be carried out accurately. It is what makes them extremely powerful beyond us, and it is rational to face up to this.
Finally, we can make forward-looking assumptions about future scientific theories, but that is all. For example, as I just said, if their material weapons can eventually reach a huge mass that produces obvious gravitational fluctuations, then there will be The question we cannot explain - how do they acquire so much energy that they can continuously accelerate their material weapons?
Under optimal conditions, energy is converted into mass. Even without wasting a little bit, the energy required for a mass that can cause significant fluctuations in gravity is unimaginable!
Not to mention using chemical fuel as the source of propulsion energy, which is the most cutting-edge method of material annihilation. They also have to install a massive star in the thruster of the material weapon. In fact, this is completely impossible. .
Therefore, I personally believe that the long-range material weapons of the alien fleet are actually..."
The senior officer immediately took over the words of the blue-haired scientist and said: "The military has agreed with the opinion of the Science Palace that the Sis Science Officer just represented, but I would like to add some of the military's own views. In addition to other long-range strikes by the alien fleet, The most scientifically appropriate guess is to frighten our will to resist and destroy our confidence. It is even a kind of psychological warfare that severely affects the confidence of civilians and even the military, causing large-scale pessimism and leading to our chaos. .
If it were me, if there was such technology to launch such a weapon, I would also choose to attack from a distance at this time. "
He glanced at the detachment below. Finally, he said: "In the next half day, you will follow the fleet deployed by the Space Force in outer space to the designated destination to deploy the most advanced interception weapon-"Xingyue", and your mission is to be deployed at "Xingyue" And protect it at all times before starting it, and prohibit any unauthorized person from approaching it. If there is an emergency, you can immediately take any extreme measures such as killing it on the spot!"
"Do you understand? I repeat, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"
The elite team members below immediately stood up and performed military salutes in unison.
…
The "young man" felt a little strange. Normally, a "newcomer" like him should not be qualified for such an important task, but everyone seemed to have forgotten this until he boarded the orbital launch cabin for emergency liftoff. No one came to disqualify him.
However, he thought it would be a very thrilling mission. Judging from the situation described by the scientist named Sith - although he could not understand most of it - he also knew that the alien fleet was extremely powerful, but For a whole day, he tensed his mind, not knowing what would happen next moment, but in the end he just floated and guarded the periphery of a large metal cylinder, fully armed.
Until the interception weapon "Xingyue" in the huge cylinder was released, no accidents occurred, and he did not see the long-range weapon from the alien fleet.
Of course, this is space. He has no qualifications or orders to go to the window to take a look. He has been stuck in the launch bay and later the battleship. Unless the battleship he is on is hit, he has no way of knowing what is going on outside. Know.
Except for the initial feeling of weightlessness, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and a little novel, everything after that was like a training routine, boring to the point of boredom.
Not long after "Xingyue" was released, he and other detachment members were gathering for a short rest when they heard a cry of victory coming from the ship's public address system:
"Interception successful! Interception successful! The target disappears!"
…
Voices came out quickly from the public address system. When the order to return was about to be issued, the excited announcement suddenly stopped, and violent vibrations and faint explosions occurred one after another on the ship's hull.
The soldiers and detachments in the ship became uneasy before they could be happy. As the silence in the command module became longer and longer, this uneasiness became more and more obvious.
Finally, a heavy voice broke the silence and said in an extremely tragic voice:
"All team members. I have to inform you with regret that although the interception was successful, it affected our hull... After emergency repairs, the reality of losing the engine cannot be restored... Driven by the huge impact energy. We are accelerating Flying off the track..."
"Although I will not give up, I must admit to everyone that we may not be able to go back!"
"The team members involved in the maintenance temporarily sealed the gap after making huge sacrifices..."
"The energy and material reserves on the spaceship will last us less than two months. After that..."
"Now. While the signal can still be maintained, all team members will have an opportunity to send back a suicide note. Later, the chief executive will make a final call with us and pray for all of us..."
…
silence.
silence.
silence.
Everyone was shocked, including the "young man". No one expected that an extremely dangerous but peaceful and even boring mission would end up with no one able to go back!
This is space, and this is also a battlefield!
Even though most of the people here were ready to sacrifice when they set out, the surprisingly smooth process made everyone forget about the danger and thought they would be able to go home soon. But I didn't expect...
After a brief silence, there was widespread doubt and confusion——
"Where's the escape pod? Why not activate it?"
"This is not far from the space base. Why not send a rescue spacecraft?"
"We have to go back, don't turn into a cold space coffin!"
"How could it happen that all the engines were affected and destroyed if they weren't just one engine?"
"This is a conspiracy! We are soldiers, and it is our mission to die on the battlefield, but we must not die in a conspiracy!"
"Follow me, let's go to the command module and find out!"
…
In the chaos, the "young man" frowned. No matter how little common sense he had, he knew the consequences of being trapped in space. Behind the vast starry sky and beautiful name, there is also a cold name: a huge dark cemetery.
He suddenly wanted to hold the sword and cut through the "cage" of the spaceship with one sword stroke!
This was the first time he wanted to take the initiative to draw the sword. And it seems that what needs to be cut open is not just the "cage" of the spaceship, but also a larger and deeper invisible cage.
The crowd ran past him in confusion, and then ran back in confusion after a long time.
Miya was not far from him, holding the weapon in her hand tightly, her eyes cold.
The detachment members said desperately:
"The engine was really destroyed and I went to see it."
"The rescue capsule is gone too."
"The spaceship is still rapidly accelerating away from the orbit. According to calculations, the rescue spaceship cannot catch up."
"what to do?"
"Do you really want to write your last words?"
…
Soon after, the spaceship's last words flew towards the cold planet like snowflakes.
The film and television system is playing a delayed picture from the Qingleng planet. In the picture, the lucky soldiers and crew members who were selected one by one send their expressions and voices at the moment back to the Qingleng planet through signals, where countless people are watching. This tragic farewell——
"We may die, but our spirit will live on forever!"
"If resistance will lead to bloodshed, then it starts with us today!"
"We will never give in and will fight them to the last drop of blood!"
…
"Goodbye, our compatriots, resist to the end, the final victory will definitely belong to us! Bless you!"
"Goodbye, let's go first!"
…
Looking at the pictures in the film and television system, the "young man" found that Miya was sneering. He hesitated to draw the sword because he felt that Miya might have other methods.
"Do you believe?"
Miya suddenly turned her head and looked at him, still sneering.
He shook his head, not knowing what she was talking about.
Miya pointed at the scene where they were still saying goodbye and said coldly: "I never thought they could be so despicable!"
Then, she sneered: "What a good plan! The long-distance attack of the alien fleet creates an atmosphere of terror; the interception is successful, which boosts confidence; we sacrifice, creating a tragic and exciting fighting spirit; and finally, by the way, they are eliminated What a perfect plan for us eyesores!”
"Cesbia, did you see their performance?"
"Cesbia, have you seen the frenzy on the ground?"
"We are just victims, props for their performances!"
…
The "young man" raised his head and said calmly: "Then kill him back!"
