Chapter 241, First Confrontation
In the void of the solar system, the Earth Fleet led by Douglas and the Loen Civilization Fleet led by Scat~zhi were both advancing rapidly in the void. The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the quiet cosmic void seemed to be able to feel the rising fighting spirit of both sides.
"Railgun, fire!"
When the distance between the two sides was only 1 astronomical unit, Admiral Douglas did not hesitate and ordered the launch of railguns. This barbaric weapon that relies on super speed can actually be launched on the Earth side, but if the distance is too far, the opponent's detector can easily avoid it as soon as it is discovered.
The distance of 1 astronomical unit seems very far away, but considering the opponent's two massive spaceships, if you want to avoid these railguns, you will inevitably consume more energy. When the opponent's energy is almost consumed, it can basically be declared a death sentence.
Therefore, it is somewhat unrealistic for these railguns launched now to make achievements and directly injure the opponent's spaceships, but it can force the opponent to evade and consume more energy.
Following Douglas's order, the tops of the 12 spaceships, the long gun barrels, the huge vibration spread throughout the spaceship, a red line flashed and disappeared rapidly towards the universe.
The projectile of the rail gun is made of alloy material, which is as hard as diamond and very dense. Don't look at a projectile that is only the size of a fist, but its mass is dozens of kilograms.
The rail gun can accelerate such a projectile to a terrifying speed of thousands of kilometers per second in a very short time. Once the target is focused, the huge energy carried will be released in an instant, even a large asteroid can be easily broken.
If you aim such a rail gun at the earth in space, the huge impact force and the huge energy carried are enough to be comparable to a nuclear bomb, but there is no problem at all in destroying a city or a small county. It is barbaric and unreasonable, which is what this terrible weapon is about.
The red rays disappeared in the void. The projectiles heated by the powerful energy were rapidly cooled in the cold cosmic void, and soon turned from red to black, restoring their original color.
The dark color perfectly blended into the cosmic void. It was difficult to detect their existence with the naked eye or even astronomical telescopes. They were silent and did not cause any fluctuations.
With great power, long attack distance, and difficulty in being discovered, this weapon can be said to be a very perfect cosmic war weapon. The only flaw in the future is that its speed is still too slow at the current level of technology. Once discovered by the enemy, it can be easily avoided or destroyed by energy weapons.
"Second wave! Coordinates X2345, Y83434, Z923843, fire!"
The first wave of rail guns fired more than ten rounds, and waves of red rays disappeared in the void. Soon, the second wave of rail guns began to attack again, but this time it was aimed at the position where the enemy might avoid. Although the probability was small, if they walked far away and the enemy just entered this position, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.
When Douglas's rail guns began to show their power, there was still no movement on Scat~Zhi's side. The Loen civilization also mastered the rail gun technology. The two spaceships "Mossa the Great" and "Clover" also installed powerful rail guns.
However, Scat~Zhi knew that the opponent's 12 spaceships were relatively small in mass and more flexible, while he only had two spaceships. The number of rail guns was limited, and the most important thing was that the energy was limited, so he would never use a cannon to kill a mosquito. He would only show his ferocious side when the distance was enough.
"With such rapid development, I don't know how your technological weapons are developing. You can't say that you are using ground weapons to fight us."
Scat~Zhi looked at the void outside, smiled slightly, and his red eyes flashed.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the speed of both sides was very fast. After a few days, both sides had entered the range of the asteroid belt, and they could even see each other clearly with astronomical telescopes.
"Haha, these two spaceships were actually injured, and one of them was even seriously injured, as if it was almost broken by something."
Through the astronomical telescope, Douglas saw at a glance that the other party's two spaceships had been injured, and the injuries were not light. Although they had been repaired, they could still be seen.
"Send a wave to ask them what they are doing in the solar system?"
At this time, they had not entered the attack range, and Douglas wanted to chat with the other party.
On the other side, Skat~Yong was commanding the spacecraft to evade the attack of the railgun in the void, and his eyes were looking into the void of the universe.
In the void not far from the spacecraft, an asteroid with a diameter of several hundred meters was running along its own trajectory in the void, but suddenly, it seemed to be hit by a powerful force and was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"The power of the railgun is so-so, but it can threaten us."
Skater~Zhi saw everything that happened in the void, and looked back at the pattern detected by the detector. Waves of rail guns were attacking in his direction. The supercomputer was constantly calculating the probability of being hit and giving a response plan.
"Ding, ding, encountering rail gun attack, the estimated hit probability is more than 80%, and the hit countdown is 5 minutes."
In the command room, the alarm sounded continuously. Skater~Zhi looked at the display. The detector on the spacecraft detected an object flying rapidly towards his spacecraft at a speed of more than thousands of kilometers per second. There is no doubt that this must be a rail gun.
"Only 1 shot? Destroy it."
Skater~Zhi frowned, without any hesitation, and immediately gave the order. He was not afraid of the opponent's rail gun, but the opponent's wave after wave of rail guns constantly attacking. In order to avoid the attack, the spacecraft has consumed a lot of energy, which forced him to think about the road ahead.
As Skat~Zhi's order was issued, a ray of light flashed in the void on the leading "Clover" spaceship. The speed of light was so fast that even the naked eye could not catch it. The powerful energy condensed on a beam of light. In the distant void, a ball of fire rose up, and the rail gun was directly evaporated by the powerful energy.
"It's impolite not to return the favor. Let them see our rail guns."
Skat~Zhi snorted coldly. It was not pleasant to be beaten all the time. Now the distance between the two sides was very close, and they could launch a counterattack.
The rail guns on the "Mossa the Great" and "Clover" spaceships began to roar, and several red lines disappeared quickly in the void. The speed of the Loen civilization rail gun exceeded 4,000 kilometers per second, which was several times that of the rail guns on the earth, but the number was much less, with only three left.
Although the "Clover" spaceship had been repaired, only one of the two rail gun main guns on the spaceship was repaired, and the "Mossa the Great" was not greatly affected.
"Received a radio signal, the Earthlings are greeting us again."
Gasel~O floated over, he just received the message sent by Douglas.
"Tell them that we think the Earth is good, and hope they can give the Earth to our Loen Empire."
Skater~Zhi was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then smiled and said, he knew very well that no matter what, the two sides would definitely have to fight, so now even if they told the Earthlings that they had no ill intentions and came to the Earth with peace, the Earthlings would never believe it.
For strange civilizations and things, whether it is the Earthlings or the Loen people, they are all the same, maintaining a high degree of vigilance, because this is a gene inherited from ancient times, and only with enough vigilance can they survive in a dangerous environment and pass on their genes.
"Space fighters are dispatched!"
Then Skater~Zhi put away his smile and gave a cold order. The distance between the two sides has exceeded less than 10 million kilometers, and the space fighters can be dispatched.
On the two spaceships "Mossa the Great" and "Clover", the hatches in all directions slowly opened, and space fighters were ejected one after another from these hatches, and soon the plasma engines were started in the void, and tail flames lit up in the void.
Then these fighters began to organize their formations in the void, forming attack squares, and then breathed towards the non-spacecraft team on Douglas' side.
Like a startled beehive, a series of dazzling white tail flames lit up in the void, and soon the number exceeded thousands, and there was a continuous attitude. Space fighters were ejected one after another from each hatch.
The length of the two spaceships, "Mossa the Great" and "Shamrock", is more than 10,000 meters, and each spaceship carries more than 10,000 fighters. Although they were hit by asteroids in the space-time ocean currents, the losses were somewhat severe, especially the "Shamrock" spaceship, which only had about half of its space fighters left. However, the total number of fighters on the two spaceships is nearly 20,000 at this time, and all the intact fighters on the abandoned "Rainbow" spaceship were transported here.
Holding nearly 20,000 space fighters in his hands, this is the real reason why Skat~zhi dared to fly towards the inner circle of the solar system, otherwise, if he only relied on two space battleships, he would have slipped back to the Canis Major galaxy.
