Chapter 1077 Speed

"What is that?"

Lu Xiangshan was the first to notice the anomaly in the starry sky. That strange bright star must be a man-made creation.

In Xiangshan's era, unidentified man-made objects in the universe generally brought serious disasters to the battlefield - the brighter, the more terrifying.

Because "bright" means that it cannot be hidden, and it also means that this man-made object has "high performance that is worth it even if it loses concealment."

Or...

"Super high performance that can achieve the goal even without concealment."

No matter which one it is, it is quite bad.

Lu Xiangshan hurriedly asked: "Is this thing your Chaldean weapon? Is it..."

"It must be that..." The synthesized voice in Li Li Ke's signal was full of horror, "The previous report did not mention that this thing is so bright!"

"That one?" Xiangshan shook his head: "No matter which one it is, since it is not your thing, it means we are in big trouble!"

The thing is getting brighter and brighter. At the same time, it also swayed, like a beautiful blue candle flame.

But Xiangshan knew that it was not the swaying of the candle flame, but the result of the irregular movement of the man-made object.

A straight line trajectory can be easily predicted and then sniped, so any single machine with high combat effectiveness will perform such movement in space. There is no air resistance in space, and gravity is also very weak. If you apply force in any direction, you can move in the opposite direction.

But being able to easily observe this irregular movement means one thing - that thing is very fast.

"Wait, compared with the reference object... 8,000 Mach... How is it possible? Why is it so fast? This is not..." Li Like was extremely surprised.

In the asteroid belt, the biggest obstacle to modern aircraft is not the asteroids, but the tiny rock particles and dust.

If a human aircraft passes through the asteroid belt normally on any orbit, the probability of hitting an asteroid is infinitely close to zero. There are 500,000 asteroids with a diameter of more than three meters between the asteroid belts, but the average distance between these asteroids is greater than the distance between the earth and the moon. To hit such an asteroid, it requires some skills.

For those high-speed prostheses, such a distance is about equal to a reaction time of about ten seconds. This is easier than driving on Earth.

Small meteorites with a diameter of less than one meter, especially those that are only a few centimeters in diameter, and those cosmic dust that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, are more threatening than large celestial bodies. They are more numerous and more difficult to detect.

In the process of planetary movement year after year, they have almost cleared the interstellar matter near their orbits. The asteroid belt is different. It is part of the original accretion disk of the solar system. There is evidence that it had the opportunity to gather into planets, but it was torn apart by the gravity of Jupiter to form floating interstellar matter. In this area, the density of interstellar matter is much higher than in other areas.

A beam of gravel, if it rushes at one percent of the speed of light, is literally "eating bones and flesh".

Furthermore, all space cities are battlefield relics of a series of battles fought by the sixth and seventh martial gods throughout the asteroid belt. The knights have always chosen areas with dense matter to try to deal with the enemy. The remains of the exploded warships have filled the interstellar matter of the asteroid belt with soil.

Similar sub-light speed travel generally only occurs on the "light speed highway". That is the route carefully maintained by the protectors, and there are no small celestial bodies. Otherwise, with the current strength of human materials science, it is impossible for any creation to pass through a dense interstellar dust at sub-light speed.

And 8,000 Mach is close to 1% of the speed of light...

The Stone Guardian fought one against two and easily annihilated several artillery positions. He knew that he should be able to retreat normally now.

The guy who stole half of his prosthesis was a real master, but he did not take away his equipment. He did not have a plug-in to assist in flying, and the propellant stored in his upper body alone was not enough to chase him.

He was about to rise in the air and laughed loudly: "That's it! We still have people in Chaldea who have not yet evacuated. In the next few days, I hope you can cancel the blockade of the port and the sentry posts between regions by yourselves, otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you!"

As he said that, he turned and wanted to leave.

However, the eyes of the two Chaldean guardians passed him and looked behind him.

At the same time, a light source appeared behind him, a pale blue light, projecting his shadow onto the cracked outer armor of the battleship.

Shi Hufa turned around, and he also saw the rapidly beating demon star.

"What is this?"

Shi Hufa immediately turned around, and the flying wing plug-in in the distance flew over and automatically docked with the interface on his back. This process took less than a second.

Then he turned around again, wanting to leave.

Then, he spun violently, and his sense of direction failed in an instant. The universe turned into a chaotic light in his eyes. It took him a long time to realize that he was being rolled in the air by a huge force.

He tried to control his direction, and then noticed a horrifying scene.

The huge crack spread on the surface of the battleship like a spider web, as if it was not steel, but some cracked clay.

The terrifying power turned into seismic waves and attacked the entire city. This was probably the first "earthquake" in this space city since its birth a hundred years ago.

The power like a natural disaster was silently displayed in the universe.

And what caused all this was indeed...

A metal pile-like...

Weapon...

——Yes...

In just a moment of distraction, the strong blue light appeared behind him.

Fast, too fast...

The Stone Guardian roared and turned to kick.

But what greeted his kick was not a weapon, but a flame and shock wave.

That was...

The jet for deceleration.

In order to slow down, the enemy actually sprayed fuel in the front. And his speed was too fast. Even if he started to slow down a few light seconds away, his speed was still terrifying here.

No, not only that, he even threw the cold weapon like a pile driver and the mass weapon like a big gun from a distance!

And the jet used to slow down such a prosthesis is also really terrifying. The Stone Guardian swallowed it directly. His prosthesis was scattered and exploded everywhere by the high temperature.

Then. The guy collected the jet and flashed by.

But the person who suddenly appeared did not stop and continued to slow down. He made a huge turn in the distance, then turned around and slowed down.

At this moment, the Stone Guardian was about to join the ranks of space junk.
