It was a complete tragedy for the Glassians when they came into contact with the humans again.
Before the fleet reached the speed of light, they had lost four battleships in the three long hours.
...
In the War Command Hall in the Space City.
As the images of the war were broadcasted to the hall, the entire hall was filled with excitement. Many of them were so excited that their faces were flushed.
Before the war, most of them were pessimistic about the war.
To some extent, the Glassians were the teachers of the humans. The humans had to learn from the Glassian technology and everything about them. From the beginning, they imitated them and gradually surpassed them. However, they were still not confident. After all, they were only comparing their technology from sixty to seventy years ago.
The humans had made the Glassians into a target that they could surpass. In their imagination, they had artificially elevated the Glassians.
Especially when the Glassian fleet had the upper hand and approached the Barnard's Star in an unimaginable way. Everyone was filled with despair and sorrow.
However, the dramatic victory this time was unexpected and had a lot of luck. It had also boosted the confidence of the humans.
It turned out that the Glassians were not as powerful as they had imagined. Aside from the superluminal flight, the performance of their battleships was even worse than the humans. When the war broke out, the Glassian battleships could not cope with it. Everyone was confused and relieved at the same time.
"So, I've only lost three space battleships and destroyed four of their battleships." Looking at the strange battle results, Bi Jianping was confused. If it was not for the fact that the battle results had been verified repeatedly, he would have suspected that it was a mistake.
Was it because the humans were too powerful or the Glassians were too weak?
"There is no specific conclusion yet. However, the initial judgment is that there was a problem with the response of the commanders. That caused them to not enter the battle state from the beginning." One of the accompanying officers explained, "However, their battleships were indeed fragile. They did not have any specific defense against our gamma-ray cannon."
Gamma-Ray was a type of energy with high penetrating power. However, heavy metal atoms could effectively defend against such rays. For example, the armor of the human battleships had multiple layers of critical gold interlayer. The energy level of the space battleships could not penetrate the battleships at all. However, it was obvious that the Glassians did not have specific defense against their battleships.
That was how technology worked. If there was a spear, there would be a shield. There was no single method that could defeat everything.
At this moment, an alarm sounded in the battle command hall. The spatial wave detection system had detected a drastic change in the data of their flight path. There was a slight commotion at the scene, and everyone immediately paid close attention to the changes in the dot of light.
The light spot that represented the Glassian battleship seemed to be moving in an arc trajectory. It slowly made a big circle and then … headed back to where it came from.
Bi Jianping was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?"
The accompanying officer was confused as well. He could not understand the Glassian's behavior. He opened his mouth and said, "Maybe this is a strange strategy!"
…
Of course, this was not the Glassian's strategy. On one hand, the authorization for the war had not arrived yet. On the other hand, the Glassian had become more cautious after the initial failure.
If it was said that the war made the humans excited and excited, the Glassians were only left with panic and caution. The confidence they had when they first arrived was gone.
"This is the distribution map of the humans' defense system and the Space City in the orbit of the rocky planet that was detected before the spaceship entered light speed."
On the giant holographic screen, there was a dense defense network that was distributed in the vast space like stars. All the high-ranking officers who attended the meeting were stunned and their hearts were filled with disbelief.
Although the number of such defense facilities was still inferior to the Glassian's, it was the result of continuous construction for hundreds of years. As there were no external enemies for a long time, the military investment was pitifully low. Most of the space defense facilities were old and many of them were antiques that were decades old.
But how long had the humans been here?
It had been almost 20 years since they lost contact with the expedition spaceship. Even if the spaceship were to travel at full speed to this galaxy, it would still take about 12 years. In other words, they had been here for a maximum of eight years. However, in actual fact, the time was much shorter.
"Their technology is quite advanced. To some extent, it has even surpassed us." The Glassian military officer continued with a solemn expression, "They are using an ultra-high-density gamma-ray weapon that we can't understand. Our spaceship's defense system is as weak as a thin sheet of iron in front of it. It has no resistance at all. And this is only the weapon of their miniature warship."
"They have also built three giant warships. Looking at their location, they are located in our original route. Obviously, they are here to intercept us." The image changed again. Everyone was shocked when they saw the huge warship. The surface was smooth and there were no signs of splicing. It showed the strong industrial strength of the warship.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was silent.
"Alright, that's all for the analysis! Let's discuss if there are any countermeasures. " The Glassian commander said while suppressing the frustration and anger in his heart. At this moment, he had completely given up on the bureaucratic style of the higher-ups. Until now, the authorization to go to war had not arrived.
Of course, he did not think that he had underestimated the enemy. After all, who would have thought that at the nearest planet 3.5 light years away (about 90 billion kilometers. The radius of the solar system based on the Kuiper belt was 15 billion kilometers), this was the absolute safety zone outside the galaxy. According to the original plan, they would have a short recuperation and simple intelligence gathering. After that, they would easily destroy each and every individual of the race.
It was not his fault. All the Glassians had underestimated the strength of the humans. This was a terrifying race. If they were to lose this war, they would not be able to destroy the humans. Perhaps in less than 10 years, the Glassian would welcome the revenge of the humans.
Fortunately, everything was still salvageable.
The Curvature Flight technology not only allowed them to take the initiative in the war, but at the same time, this technology also had a terrifying destructive power. Even if they were to go on a rampage, they would be able to destroy all of the humans' defenses.
However, he did not know why he had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. It was like a warning that a natural disaster was coming.
There seemed to be a force that was urging him to leave this place quickly.
...
At this moment, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Glassian spaceship, Luo Yuan was like a ghost, floating in the dark space.
In the dark background, his figure seemed to have blended into the darkness. His vision had been temporarily adjusted and returned to its original sharpness. He quietly looked at the Glassian spaceship that was far away and seemed to be thinking about something.
PS: In the end, I still broke my promise. After thinking about it, I decided to write it out!
