Chapter 390 Is There Still Time?
The brightness of the entire star lasted for about ten minutes.
At first, more than a hundred curvature missiles bombarded the star's corona, and several small holes were blown out.
Then the entire star self-regulated.
Under the influence of its own huge gravity, these holes were quickly filled by surrounding matter. This filling process looked like bright flares.
After this wave of flashes, the battlefield unexpectedly calmed down. The opponent used a super-powerful weapon to blow up the second satellite, and there were no other superfluous actions.
The situation became a little subtle.
The dark universe quickly became quiet...
It was as if the strong explosion of the second satellite was just a natural phenomenon. But the meteorites floating everywhere reminded people all the time that there was once a small satellite here.
Photons faithfully recorded the complete information of the entire attack and spread in all directions at the speed of light. This piece of information will echo in the universe for a long time... until the energy of these photons is exhausted.
This bombing has stirred up a huge solar wind. These high-speed ions spread around at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second. It will take several days for them to reach "Dig 114".
In about three days, the meteorites splashed by the explosion of Saturn II will be able to travel 900,000 kilometers to reach Dig 114.
By then, the solar wind will also happen to blow over here.
The planet "Dig 114" will produce a magnificent meteor shower and a spectacular aurora at the same time. In a certain area, you may be able to see this two-in-one landscape.
But people will definitely not stay here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, because people clearly understand that this calm... is a sign before the storm!
The war is not over!
This calm, in essence... is still due to the huge delay in information.
Due to the distance, the other party has only observed the nuclear war between people and "Gaia Creatures" more than a month ago, and the scene of Deep Space "lying" on Saturn II. It has not seen that Deep Space has escaped from this satellite a few hours ago...
Therefore, no further action was taken.
"They must be rushing to 'Dig 114' at full speed! But the current distance is still quite far, and there are still many days to go..."
"At least our gravitational wave telescope still hasn't captured any traces of the other spacecraft..."
The atmosphere on the scene has reached its extreme tension. Soldiers are in a hurry to go to various work posts, and scientists are also urgently calculating.
The central computer is fully powered, and various modules are urgently mobilized to generate a large number of speculative reports...
"Deep Space" is also constantly adjusting its position, trying to pick up all the people below as soon as possible, and then run away...
If you don't run, you're waiting to die?
In the captain's room, dozens of military experts are constantly discussing the current situation and countermeasures.
"...The other side accurately calculated the orbit of Saturn II and then covered it with a firepower network. They may have mistakenly thought that we have been destroyed... Is that right?"
"No, the other side will not be so careless! In fact, the other side does not know whether we have been destroyed. There must be a next move, but we don't know what it is. The information delay is too large. Without a target, the expensive curvature missile cannot be fired into the air."
After a brief discussion, people found that weapons such as curvature missiles... are too damn expensive, and humans can't afford them at this stage.
Just from the point of view of industrial capacity, humans seem to be...one-sidedly beaten...
Superluminal missiles are too domineering. Just this kind of strength makes people feel a burst of heartbeats.
A few minutes later, Yu Yifeng also participated in this discussion through a video.
He was still in the overloaded spacecraft and was slowly lifted up, but he could still attend this kind of meeting. Beside him, "Ling" also looked at this video curiously, looking at these strange people.
This kind of modern equipment is the first time she has seen it, so she is also very excited.
"...The old interstellar civilization is really rich and powerful."
"This superluminal curvature missile is actually composed of a curvature engine, and the energy and detonator inside are all antimatter."
"We detected a lot of traces of antimatter in the explosion just now...just as we guessed."
Professor Ding Yidong said with a red face, not knowing whether he was enthusiastic or still frightened.
But he immediately shook his head: "Too expensive, too expensive, we have imagined this kind of weapon...but our technology cannot extract so much antimatter..."
"If, we force a superluminal curvature missile, we only need enough antimatter, and we don't even need nuclear fusion...but it's too uneconomical."
From the current economic situation and industrial capacity of the new human civilization, this kind of curvature missile is a long way off, because the production and utilization technology of antimatter is far from mature.
Besides, the universe is really too big, and a slight difference can lead to a huge mistake.
This is not a joke. For example, shooting from a distance of 0.1 light years... Don't underestimate it, it is more than 900 billion kilometers, a super long distance that low-level civilizations cannot fly in their lifetime.
As long as the muzzle deviates by 1 nanometer, after 0.1 light year magnification, it is unknown where it deviates...
1 nanometer is about the length of 3 silver atoms and 10 carbon atoms.
Interstellar civilizations cannot achieve completely accurate precision control.
Therefore, if you want to hit the opponent at a long distance, you must know the opponent's movement trajectory, perform very detailed calculations, and use a large area of firepower network to cover it, and use quantity to ensure high accuracy.
The curvature missile sounds awesome, but in fact, it still cannot get rid of the shackles of this accuracy.
Its speed exceeds the speed of light, and the core computer cannot observe the outside world, so it cannot become a tracking missile, but it runs faster than light... It can be used in an emergency, but it becomes a bit flashy as a conventional weapon.
"As you all know, when the curvature bubble is forcibly punctured, a huge explosion will occur, and the entire missile will be destroyed. And flying blindfolded, you don't know when the computer inside the missile will explode... It can't be timed, right?"
"So, ordinary nuclear bombs can't be used... Antimatter must be used!
"When the entire structure of the missile is destroyed, the antimatter ions inside lose the magnetic field constraint and will immediately come into contact with the positive matter outside, and then a huge secondary explosion will occur..."
Professor Ding Yidong said with some worry: "It only took one or two curvature missiles to blow up Saturn II, but there are an estimated two hundred missiles that have hit the star or are still flying randomly... From this perspective, the strength of both sides is indeed completely different..."
Hearing this, everyone started to discuss and tried to analyze the problem from the other side's perspective: "But I still think that the other side's decision is correct..."
"The other side may think that we humans don't know that the other side will come, so they took this fastest and most direct means of attack..."
"They don't know that the Dig people have leaked the news. "
Just as they were discussing, the first group of planetary staff finally arrived at the Deep Space, and they were received like heroes.
After hearing that the "Gaia creature" was finally lured up, everyone cheered as if they had won a great victory. Well, it was indeed a great victory!
Originally, they thought it was hopeless, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events in the end, and many staff hugged and cheered each other. People clearly know the great value of Gaia creatures. Whether it is biologists, or various material scientists and physicists, they are all full of curiosity and expectations about this creature.
Now, as long as people can escape smoothly... they will really win!
"From the current perspective, because of the huge delay in information, we still have time... Yes, we still have time!"
Only Yu Yifeng and his spacecraft were left behind and were hoisted up by ropes. It is estimated that it will take several hours to get rid of the deep well of gravity... This made Yu Yifeng very impatient.
But his impatience was useless.
