After accelerating for five days, the spaceship finally entered a stable speed.
Hou Shuwen looked at the holographic screen in the central control room. The light spot that represented the Glassian fleet was approaching them at an alarming speed.
Their mission was to intercept them in advance, attract their attack, reduce their speed and even cancel the space-time bubble. At the same time, they would be able to collect first-hand information.
After all, the superluminal speed was relative. According to the Intelligence Bureau's deduction, if they could not lock on to the target, the other party would not be able to do anything as well. Especially when the space-time bubble was activated, the space-time bubble would cause the attacking party to miss their target.
From a certain point of view, this fleet was a target that attracted firepower.
It was a difficult mission with a slim chance of survival.
"Commander, we still have a month's time." At this moment, a young adjutant reminded him. From the fluff on his mouth and the young look on his face, he was not even 20 years old.
However, he was not a special existence, because the soldiers here were all incredibly young. These people were not ordinary people, they were all Homo Evolutis between the ages of 15 to 18, because only these Homo Evolutis could withstand the ship's acceleration of 8 g for a long period of time. Moreover, they had a strong learning ability and were more suitable to control the spaceship than ordinary people. After three years of rigorous training, they had become qualified soldiers.
Hou Shuwen nodded, "Send out the order to release the first batch of 1,000 space fighters. Let's go and see how strong they are."
Following the transmission of the quantum communication between the spaceships, the hatch of the spaceship quickly opened. Countless space fighters were ejected from the giant electromagnetic cannon like locusts. They then ignited their engines and accelerated. They quickly surpassed the spaceship and flew into the deep space.
…
As time passed, the atmosphere of the fleet became more and more depressed. The light spot of the Glassian fleet was getting closer and closer. It was already 0.01 light years away from the Space City. At the same time, the space fighters were gradually approaching the light spot.
In the command cabin, it was extremely quiet. One could even hear a pin drop. All the crew members were staring at the dense green dots that represented the space fighters. With the help of the artificial intelligence system, they carefully adjusted the parameters and controlled the space fighters to fly towards the Glassian fleet.
The space fighters were scattered all over the place like a sprinkling of pepper powder. The distance between each space fighter was tens of thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of thousands of kilometers. This was to ensure that the space fighters would not miss the Glassian fleet due to the huge error in the Space Wave Detection System.
But even so, the possibility of direct contact between the two was pitifully low.
Hou Shuwen looked at the data on the central holographic screen anxiously. He closed his eyes from time to time as if he was sensing something.
He was a recessive evolver. Compared to the dominant evolvers, this kind of evolution was relatively hidden. In terms of combat power, he was no different from a normal person. Similarly, he did not have any special superpowers.
However, this did not mean that these evolvers were not powerful. Some evolvers' abilities were rather miraculous and unimaginable.
For example, his ability was a strong intuition. He could rely on a laser gun to hit a bullseye the size of a soybean from several kilometers away, completely unable to see with his eyes.
It could be said that the stronger the weapon, the more destructive it was.
It was this ability that allowed him to quickly stand out in the army and become the commander of this fleet.
After a long time, Hou Shuwen opened his eyes with a disappointed look on his face. Perhaps it was because the distance between them was too great, or perhaps it was because the other party's speed was too shocking, but he couldn't sense it at all.
"We've lost contact with the five space fighters!" At this moment, one of the crew members suddenly said.
Hou Shuwen opened his eyes immediately. He was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Artificial intelligence, record the coordinates of the space fighters before they lost contact and the time sequence. Then, establish their flight path and send the data to the war command center at the same time."
This was an extremely important piece of information. The space fighters seemed to have lost contact at the same time but there was a slight difference in time. Based on the coordinates of the space fighters and the time difference, they could calculate the flight path and relative speed of the fleet. Then, they could launch an attack.
The information was almost synchronized as it instantly crossed hundreds of millions of kilometers and appeared on the supercomputer in the war intelligence center.
In just a second, the defense system in space began to activate.
Floating in space, there were huge cannons that looked like fortresses. The cannons slowly rotated and quickly began to charge. A destructive aura gradually spread out.
The next moment, tens of thousands of dazzling lights instantly pierced through the dark space and disappeared into the endless distance.
Each of these lights had the power to destroy heaven and earth. Through the quantum energy transmission technology and high-energy battery packs, the energy of these giant cannons could be stacked infinitely, avoiding the limitation of materials on energy. This allowed their power to reach an astonishing level. If they were to land on Earth, just one shot would be enough to blast a huge hole and cause a drastic change to the planet.
If there were tens of thousands of them, the entire Earth would probably explode into pieces.
However, the space defense system had launched a total of five rounds of area attacks.
Hou Shuwen raised his head to take a look. On the 3D screen, countless of lights flashed by and disappeared into the endless distance. He did not feel much hope as this was just a test attack. After all, no matter how powerful the attack was, once it lost its accuracy, it would be like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito. It was meaningless. Even reaching the approximate target area would take about seven hours.
He then stopped paying attention to it and lowered his head to look at the pictures of the space fighters that were taken by the nearby space fighters. They were synchronized and transmitted to him through the quantum communication.
The space fighters did not seem to have been attacked by the naked eye. They were floating in space in perfect condition but they had completely lost their power.
However, all of these were just superficial. After further analysis and comparison by the spaceship, the surface of the space fighters had slight deformation. Some parts even had slight cracks and cracks.
In fact, it was not attacked. It was just that it was too close to the Glassian fleet that was traveling in a warp drive. It caused a slight deformation after the space fluctuation was restored. The deformation was relatively weak and it was not fatal to the human body. However, to the intricately manufactured space fighters and the internal electronic system, it was a devastating blow.
In the command cabin, the atmosphere was solemn.
Everyone knew what this meant.
This meant that even if the Glassian fleet did not use any attack, it was enough to paralyze the human defense system. They did not need to stop at all. As long as they spent a certain amount of time, they would be able to win the war.
There were only 28 hours left before they arrived.
Fortunately, the human base camp had been evacuated. Otherwise, the humans would be completely annihilated.
Hou Shuwen sent the information to the war command center in the Space City and ordered again, "Send out the second batch of space fighters!"
The previous detection method was effective. Although the final result of the attack could not be verified, at least it was an opportunity.
Just as Hou Shuwen finished his order, a dramatic scene happened. The spaceship's space wave detection system instantly detected that the movement speed of the space fluctuation had slowed down. At the same time, the space fluctuation gradually became weaker.
Hou Shuwen could not believe what he saw. He opened his eyes wide.
...
At this moment, the Glassian fleet was following the plan and began to slow down.
The reason for this was that the Glassian's new generation of warp drive spaceship was not mature yet. They lacked the crucial superluminal detection technology. This caused the humans and the Glassian to be like two blind people. The humans could not see the Glassian spaceship and the Glassian could not see the location of the human base camp.
In order to detect the target, they had to first slow down their speed.
In fact, the Glassian's technology was not as strong as what the humans had imagined. They were almost on par with each other. Both of them had their own strengths. In recent years, the human's technology had exploded. In some areas, they had already caught up with and surpassed the Glassian. In other areas, they were almost at the same level.
Only in the field of physics, due to various practical problems, had a rapid development in recent years. However, it was still slightly lagging behind. This allowed the Glassian to be one step ahead of the humans in warp drive.
Unfortunately, there were many times when a breakthrough in a key technology was enough to form a crushing force.
Just like the first appearance of tanks during World War I. The United Kingdom was the first to develop tanks and put them into the battlefield. They managed to turn the tide in one fell swoop and pushed the battle line forward. However, in reality, there was no difference in the technological level between the United Kingdom and Germany.
It was a pity that the intelligence from both sides was not transparent. The humans were afraid of the Glassian's mysterious technology and the Glassian was full of confidence in this mission. They rushed all the way without stopping. They did not even investigate beforehand. They would never have thought that in a short span of more than 10 years, the human's technology would develop so rapidly. Most of the time, they were even in interstellar travel.
Coincidentally, from the time the space fighter lost contact to the time when the Glassian reduced the speed of warp drive, only 10 seconds had passed. What was even more amazing was that as the space fighters were scattered, the nearest one was only tens of thousands of kilometers away.
This was also the reason why when the Glassian's warp drive reduced the speed of the warp drive, the attack from the space fighter nearby suddenly came.
