During this period, the target made two more orbit changes, one of which was particularly violent and almost caused all the optical lenses to become unlocked.
Several consecutive orbit changes indicate that this thing is aiming directly at the Earth. Although its orbit is poorly calculated, it does not even calculate the advance, but just keeps pointing the direction of movement towards the Earth, and this is really creepy.
However, this thing still missed the earth at the last moment, but just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it made another sharp turn and flew back into the sky above the North Pole.
With almost no hesitation, Country A's Space Force opened fire immediately, only a few minutes later than their hastily announced exercise.
The world's densest ballistic missile defense systems are deployed around the Arctic region, especially the mid-course interception system. Such a good shooting opportunity can even be said to be a temptation. How can Country A's space force be willing to let it go?
Both interceptor rounds hit directly, but it felt completely ineffective, except that the protective shield was invisible.
The target still did not disintegrate on its original orbit. Instead, it plunged into the atmosphere. It did not even give the space force a chance to disintegrate by firing another nuclear bomb.
The target flew from north to south in the atmosphere. When everyone on the ground was praying for it to disintegrate and burn up as soon as possible, it suddenly regained control, raised its head upward, and drew an elegant curve as it flew out of the atmosphere.
It was during this process that the optical lens on the ground discovered the second target. It was much smaller and appeared to be a wooden sailing ship, although its mast was empty.
It flew with the "Marmot" for a certain distance and then left.
The radar could not track the target, but following the "Marmot", they quickly found the target again.
The Marmot may have been in some sort of malfunction, but it's definitely fixed now
. Its orbit after leaving the atmosphere was perfect. It turned along the direction of the earth's rotation and rose over the North Pole again. It accurately met the second target and several other newly discovered targets, and hovered. over the Arctic region.
Six targets can be clearly seen from the astronomical telescope on the ground. Except for "Marmot", the other five are wooden sailboats.
Now these five wooden sailboats are surrounding the "Marmot" in the middle, so close to each other that the protective shields have merged with each other.
The Space Force did not fire again. They were unable to do anything against the "Marmot", and against several other targets... it seemed that they were not worth attacking.
The emergence of the next few targets has caused Country A's institutions to lower their awareness of threats. International exchanges and reports from Navy Captain Lisa Perot have shown that such targets are not something to be afraid of.
The current goal of Country A's institutions and military is to establish contact with these alien humans and obtain armor, armor boxes, and the right to operate the core of the spacecraft as soon as possible.
While receiving a detailed briefing on the situation, Navy Captain Lisa Perot was also assigned a task to solve the problem of "how to establish contact with aliens."
"What can I do? They haven't landed yet." Lisa thought angrily, "Unless..." She stood up and looked forward. Unfortunately, she did not see any Navy personnel from Country A.
At the front of the cabin is a group of European officers wearing various uniforms. They are chatting with each other. Their temperament is noble and elegant, but there is obviously no navy inside.
Behind them is a field of colorful camouflage. They are either immersed in work or closing their eyes to relax. They look much more pragmatic, but there is nothing suspicious about the navy.
"General, can I ask you a question? It may be a bit sensitive, regarding the mobilization of your country's troops." Lisa sat down and decided to grasp the last straw around her.
"You can ask first, but I may not answer." The Chinese general next to Lisa had obviously dealt with many such situations, and he was flawless.
"What I want to know is, is a certain submarine in your country, I mean the one that has experienced a similar incident like today, now within the range that we can contact?
The number of that submarine is USS Tarzan. My name is Lisa. Lisa Perrault is also one of the parties involved in that incident, so if you know, please tell me. "
"If necessary, I think we can contact the submarine quickly." The Chinese general did not suspect that Lisa had any other intentions, but asked in confusion, "Do you need me to convey any information?"
"The earth needs them!" Lisa had to decide to give up and write her own ideas directly into the plan, letting her superiors choose and mediate. "Your country's confidentiality system is really strict."
…
"Is that all that's left?" Count Togram kicked the pile of rubbish on the deck, and a burst of green smoke immediately appeared from it. Several pirates around him immediately took a step back, as if those things were burning again. Same.
"These are the things that have been recovered from the deepest part of the cave. In fact, except for the spacecraft core and the armor box, we have recovered nothing."
The deputy captain, Knight Orgren, answered cautiously. He was the person in charge of recycling and had to speak this time.
"Where's the wine? Where's the water? Even if this pile of things is edible, are you going to eat these things to endure the hyperspace jump?" Count Togram walked away and returned to the bridge.
"Is there any news?" the count asked immediately as soon as he entered the bridge.
"There was no movement, and we were not attacked by that weapon again, not even once." Captain Ransisk replied quickly.
"Send a signal and ask everyone to put on their armor and come to the flagship for discussion!"
"yes!"
This formation of the Pirate Alliance is now in a dilemma. The Giant Rat can still be said to be intact. In fact, pirates are popular in using asteroids as battleships. One advantage is that it cannot be destroyed.
However, the fact that the battleship was not destroyed is not the same as the fact that the people on board were not injured or killed. For example, this time, all the crew and passengers of the Giant Rat, including the two captains and deputy captains who had not had time to put on their armor, died after the protective shield collapsed. All died in a short period of time, and their deaths were tragic.
This time the removal of symbols not only caused casualties. Generally speaking, even if the protective shield of this kind of asteroid battleship collapses, most of the materials on it can be preserved. But this time, the luck was really bad. The Giant Rat actually rushed directly. Entering the planet's atmosphere.
Although the battleship was eventually rescued, most of the supplies on the ship had been burned by the high temperature, and the rest had been dehydrated and carbonized and had no shape. Not a drop of the vital drinking water was left.
