The laser reaches the battlefield at the speed of light. It is impossible to avoid it by relying only on conventional observation methods. However, both sides have the ability to communicate over long distances, so they can predict the laser's trajectory in advance and avoid it.
Even among the human fleets, large warships with a length of nearly a kilometer were able to avoid laser fire in time because they were stationed at the rear.
However, the Trisolarans also have their own special attack methods. They did not use similar attacks when fighting Lan Nuo before, because laser weapons are extremely powerful for an individual strongman like Lan Nuo. The effect is inherently minimal, and even if they come up with any tricks, it is just a waste of the Trisolaran's own computing power.
But now there are many large warships in the human fleet that are responsible for signal relay, logistical support and fire suppression. The threat to them from laser weapons is huge.
It can be seen that while the "solar sail" that emits lasers is operating at full power, the "shuttle" equipped with the most powerful gravitational wave generator also begins its work.
In the distant space, the starry sky seemed to be distorted, as if there were atmospheres with different temperatures in that area, causing refraction.
After passing through these areas, the laser actually turned, deflected its flight direction, and swept in the direction where the large human battleships were avoiding.
Obviously, this is an effect achieved by distorting space through gravity. Even the actual spaceship of the Trisolarans can turn at an acute angle without slowing down, and it is naturally possible for light to make the same type of turn in space.
For a moment, the laser curved in space, drawing arc-shaped trajectories, as if it were precision guidance, flying towards the direction of the human fleet.
Thousands of lasers converged, and the visual effect was extremely shocking. Although the fleet had expected a similar situation, it could not avoid the attacks of all lasers. Some spaceships were able to release oil film bombs in time, successfully blocking the laser attack. Almost all the power was absorbed.
But some of them didn't have time to react. The intensity of the Trisolaran's laser was so high that even though the battleship was made of extremely high-temperature-resistant nanomaterials, it was still like tofu, being cut in half with a knife.
Fortunately, the commander of the human fleet evaded in time. Even if the vast majority of warships were cut, the energy storage sections remained intact. For warships, being cut into two sections is not fatal. If a warship is cut off in the ocean, Even if there is a watertight cabin inside the battleship, it will still sink to the bottom of the sea. But in space, there is obviously no risk of sinking. It is just that the side with fewer thrusters has weaker maneuverability. After closing the valve that leaked gas, the cut-off warship still has the ability to fight independently.
As for those battleships that escaped, the oil film bombs they used were, to some extent, attributed to Ray Diaz, the dead Wallfacer who disguised himself as an explosive maniac who was keen on hydrogen bombs. , led mankind to create the most powerful super hydrogen bomb at that time.
Even now, this is one of the weapons with the highest output power of mankind. In the original work, Luo Ji relied on this batch of super bombs to re-establish the cradle system in the solar system and achieve three-body control in the desperate situation. Deterrence of people.
And he was able to exploit those bombs. Allowing the solar system to flicker at high frequencies in the universe also relies on another technology tree pointed out by humans, which is the oil film substances mined and manufactured during the development of Jupiter. They can quickly diffuse into space during explosions. Although it has no lethality, it can form an extremely vast area of clouds and mist. This thing can block the sun's rays, causing the solar system to flash at high frequencies in the universe, and naturally it can also block lasers.
It is these oil-film bombs that warships use to defend against lasers. This time, haze is truly a physical defense against lasers.
At the same time that the Trisolarans launched their attack, the human side also launched its own attack. Laser weapons were like tickling materials with strong interaction forces, but gravitational wave blasting was different.
Gravitational waves can penetrate even high dimensions, a layer of strong interaction material. The ability to weaken gravitational waves is also very limited. It can directly penetrate external defenses and destroy the precise internal structure of the three-body spacecraft.
This time was different from when the Trisolarans dealt with Lan Nuo. At that time Lan Nuo didn't even have a decent spaceship, let alone counterattack with gravitational wave blasts. He was chased by the enemy's gravitational wave bombs and jumped up and down, almost. There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.
But now humans have their own large battleships. Even if the gravitational wave generator is not miniaturized, these star-class battleships that can easily reach a thousand meters can still carry it.
It even has a certain advantage over the Trisolarans in terms of range and firepower density. Compared with laser weapons, one advantage of gravitational wave weapons is that they also propagate at the speed of light and have almost no trajectory. They look like It appears out of thin air and is difficult to predict and defend against.
Although the Trisolaran fleet is arranged in a very loose formation, and it is completely irregular in arrangement, and has extremely strong maneuverability, it also has a strong ability to dodge even covering attacks.
During this first round of fire coverage, more than a dozen aircraft were still affected by the explosion, and their internal precision parts were destroyed.
Some exploded in the air. Some of them have surfaces that quickly dim as if they were rusty, losing power and sailing through space at a constant speed.
But soon, the Trisolaran fleet also retaliated. Gravitational wave blasts also appeared in the human fleet. The human warships were even larger and difficult to avoid, as if they were twisted by an invisible big hand. From a distance, it looks like it is being kneaded like plasticine.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the material of the spacecraft has undergone such a large deformation. Gravitational waves are the stretching and compression of space. Even if they do not cause damage, they will produce this strange visual effect.
As the shock wave swept across, a large number of blasting reactive armors on the surface of the battleship were activated, and micro-gravitational blasts offset most of the power, allowing at least the pilots in the battleship to survive and retain a certain amount of counterattack power.
Although these star-class battleships look huge, there are usually no more than ten pilots on a battleship, and there are controllable high-energy particles for information transmission. Many driving tasks can be completed by remote pilots, so driving such a large battleship is safer than Nirvana driving a fighter plane.
Of course, it is not always so safe. Under the cover of laser and gravitational wave blasting, the Trisolarans secretly threw anti-matter bombs. A small number of them broke through the human defense line and hit the battleship.
And this often leads to devastating damage. The side string of the first hit battleship suddenly erupts with an extremely bright ball of light. The ball of light expands rapidly and engulfs the entire battleship in an instant, with a length of more than one kilometer. In such an explosion, no bones were left of the large battleship. Some of the pilots on the battleship had time to escape into the four-dimensional space, while others were killed on the spot and evaporated instantly by the ultra-high temperature of the explosion.
The war gradually became intense and entered its most brutal stage. The Nirvanas began their charge, and humanity's trump card was quickly approaching the battlefield.
Those participating in the battle are not only members of the space fleet, but also staff stationed on the earth and other major planets. They are responsible for regulating the space highways within the solar system and moving those high-speed, strongly interacting materials. The fragments are transported to the direction of the battlefield at the fastest speed.
While both sides suffered a large number of battle losses, the human side's unique moves were also approaching the battlefield.
Without the cover of the strong interaction material storm, the Nirvana people can use the same fighting method as Lanno, which is to rely on the electromagnetic gun in the four-dimensional space debris to fire the strong interaction material they carry, and attack them. The Trisolaran spacecraft attacks.
In order to ensure that the trajectory of these strong-interaction materials flying in space can hit their targets, controllable high-energy particles light up electromagnetic acceleration rings one after another in space.
Suddenly the battlefield was dotted with stars, just like another small starry sky in the starry sky. Countless rings were intertwined in the battlefield, accompanied by explosions and lasers, and even distorted space and deformed starry sky.
The computing centers of the Trisolarans and humans are already operating at overload, providing data to both sides on the battlefield and analyzing the situation on the battlefield.
Some Nirvana people were unable to escape in time and fell in the gravitational wave explosion. There were also Trisolaran spacecrafts that were forced to lose the space to escape by the dense bullets of strong interaction materials and turned into a firework in space.
Under the control of the Nirvana, the relative speed of the two sides has become quite low. If the earth is used as the reference frame for observation, the two sides are actually getting closer to the earth. The Nirvana are not actually charging towards the enemy. Instead, he was fighting and retreating at the same time.
When fighting in space, trading space for time is simply a conventional tactic, because the space is too big. If it is stuck in an airspace, the combat effectiveness of any fleet will be weakened by most.
The edge of the solar system is like turning into a meat grinder. Both sides of the war are losing money rapidly, and the human side is also experiencing an unprecedented war. This is the first time since the confrontation between humans and the Trisolarans. A war with such heavy losses. Countless resources were spent to select and train the most elite warriors among humans, but they fell like snowflakes on the battlefield.
But it was also the toughest war that humans fought, because in almost every previous confrontation with the Trisolarans, Lan Nuo stood by their side, just like when a child is learning to ride a bicycle, his parents are always behind him. Just hold on.
Naturally, the casualties in such battles will not be great, just like when a child on a bicycle is about to fall, a parent will reach out to support him. However, no matter how many such victories are achieved, it is not a victory for mankind.
Only when we truly let go and truly allow humans to move forward can the victory we achieve truly belong to humans. Even if we are bruised and bruised on the way forward, this is something we must experience on the way forward for civilization.
On the earth, the Lannuos still held the long swords in their hands, shielding the Trisolaran sophons from the earth. No one participated in this war, and in this war, even if the losses were heavy, No one prays to the Lannos to step up and save the world like superheroes.
Many people looked at the sculpture-like Lan Nuos around them, but their eyes were no longer filled with prayer and dependence, but like children proudly showing off their scars to their parents, using these glorious medals to prove that they can Survive independently in this cruel universe.
…
At the edge of the solar system, one can see streamers of light that were originally flying around the sun, then turned quickly, like the sea embracing all rivers, and flew towards the battlefield of fierce fighting.
As the torrent gathers, it becomes brighter and brighter. Even on Earth, with a large astronomical telescope, you can see the torrent of light in the distant sky that gathers together like a funnel.
The storm of strong interaction materials that humans had prepared for the Trisolarans for a long time finally arrived on the battlefield.
Under the guidance of the Nirvanas still alive in the fleet, these strong interaction materials flew towards the Trisolaran fleet at an ultra-high speed of one-tenth the speed of light, covering every aircraft. Sexual blow.
There were many Nirvanas who had no time to adjust their positions. The spacecraft and the people were penetrated by the ultra-high-speed strong interaction material, leaving holes one after another as big as a baby's arm, but they continued to guide without caring. This is the strongest attack that humans have prepared for the Trisolaran fleet. At such a moment, no one will allow themselves to retreat.
The torrent of light gathered on the battlefield, and the Trisolaran fleet had nowhere to escape amid the continuous explosions.
Even if they turn away from the battlefield at an acute angle, compared with bullets that travel at one-tenth the speed of light, they are still as slow as a turtle. As long as the bullets are deflected at a slight angle, they can easily catch up with them as they flee.
Explosions weaved gorgeous fireworks in space, like a celebration of a new era for mankind, and like a glorious funeral for the soldiers who died in the war.
In the Trisolaran command hall, the atmosphere was extremely silent. Although they had already expected the failure, the actual annihilation of the entire army still dealt a major blow to the Trisolarans. The beings they once regarded as bugs have now grown up. To the point where they must be treated as equal adversaries.
The most terrifying thing is not the technological power displayed by this race, nor the fact that they are unilaterally peeking at the Trisolaran planet, but the infinite potential they have displayed.
…
In the United Nations Square, Lan Nuo, who had stood there like a sculpture for ten years, had begun to wither in his muscles and even looked a little like a newly unearthed mummy. But everyone could clearly see that while the war was victorious, The sculpture slowly moved, and the long sword inserted under its feet was slowly pulled out from the ground...
