Chapter two hundred and thirty seventh first shot
The Gaia civilization's spacecraft escaped from the curvature navigation and appeared in front of Mark and others for only a few seconds. Everyone on the Fengxiang battleship, including Mark, was stunned. This was the first time that Earth astronauts witnessed the Gaia civilization's spacecraft with their own eyes, except for the missing Hades, and they watched it appear from the curvature.
"My God!"
A British captain couldn't help but make a cross in his chest. Although science has long proved that there is no God, the scene that happened before him was really amazing, especially when he suddenly appeared in an unimaginable situation.
The spacecraft of the Gaia civilization separated from the curvature, causing shock in the surrounding space. The space oscillation and gravity contraction caused the Fengxiang warship to instantly shift a distance in space. At the same time, the alarm sounded loudly inside the ship and the emergency lights kept flashing.
As the captain Mark was the first to react. He quickly shouted not to panic, and asked his subordinates to immediately verify the situation of the battleship. After only one minute, a good news made everyone relieved. The space shock and gravity contraction did not cause any damage to the Fengxiang. Except for the backup power engine that was shut down due to excessive load during acceleration, everything else was fine.
"Captain, what should we do?" The first mate stared at the Gaia civilization spacecraft that suddenly appeared and asked nervously.
Mark took a look at the spaceship of the Gaia who had left the curvature sail, and had not yet moved, and then looked at the "meteorite" not far away, and he quickly made a decision.
"Continue to move forward and be ready to attack at any time!" Mark raised his hand and pointed at the "meteorite" and still issued an order.
The distance between the Fengxiang, Gaia civilization spacecraft and "meteorite", is almost the same as the three sides. The positions of the three sides are basically in a font shape, just like three three-dimensional points. As an experienced astronaut, Mark still knows some curvature theory. Recycling "meteorites" and delivering are two concepts. During the delivery process, the Gaia civilization spacecraft can be deployed as soon as possible after sailing out of curvature, and then start the engine and return to the curvature navigation state after the speed reaches a certain level.
From this point of view, the whole process does not take too much time, and it only takes about a few minutes. However, it is not so easy to recover the "meteorite". The Gaia civilization's spacecraft must start the ordinary engine when sailing out of curvature. Then get close to the meteorite and then recycle it, and return to the curvature navigation after the recovery is completed. In this way, it takes a lot of time. More importantly, in order to ensure that the "meteorite" is not damaged, the Gaia civilization's spacecraft must maintain a safe distance from the "meteorite" when sailing out of curvature to avoid damage to it.
This is also the reason why the distance between the three is equal. Mark, who calmed down, soon thought of this. The advantage of Fengxiang is that they have been keeping close to each other at high speed, while the Gaia civilization's spacecraft has just broken out of the curvature navigation. It takes some time to start the ordinary engine, and the process of acceleration and getting close to the "meteorite". If the speed of the two sides is not too different, then Fengxiang may completely destroy the "meteorite" before the other party.
This is the case. After Mark's order was issued, the Fengxiang, which had not slowed down, slightly adjusted its course and continued to move towards the "meteorite". Just as they advanced for another 10 seconds, the spacecraft of the Gaia civilization, which had not been moving, began to move.
It is impossible not to say that the technology of the Gaia civilization is much higher than that of the earth. The driving speed of ordinary engines alone is much faster. In just a few seconds, the Gaia civilization's spacecraft accelerated to 30% of the current speed of the Fengxiang, and this acceleration is already growing rapidly.
"Sir! The opponent's acceleration is approaching our speed!" The observer shouted in horror. The Gaia civilization's spacecraft accelerated extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye it reached an extremely high speed. If this continues, it will not take long to exceed the speed of the Fengxiang, and by then the advantage of the Fengxiang will disappear.
"How long will it take for us to get into range?" Mark asked nervously, biting his lower lip.
"It will take 134 seconds!"
"Partmental Weapon Preparation!" Mark gave the order without hesitation.
"Weapons are ready!"
"Particle weapon launches immediately!"
Before it entered the range, Mark suddenly issued the particle weapon launch order first, and the weapon operator who had already prepared pressed the button at the same time. A dazzling light flashed out of the lower part of the Fengxiang radiated instantly. This light was silver-blue, which looked a bit similar to a laser weapon, but in fact it was a powerful particle beam that could instantly destroy targets of nearly 100,000 meters in space.
However, although this weapon is powerful, it also has defects. This defect is similar to laser weapons. That is, as the distance grows, its effectiveness will become weaker and weaker, especially when it strikes targets that exceed the range, and its destructive power will drop sharply.
Mark is not a fool, nor is he in a panic and wrong order. He has his consideration of launching particle weapons first. The Fengxiang still needs more than two minutes to enter the range, and the Gaia civilization's spacecraft accelerates too fast, and I'm afraid they can't wait for so long. Once the opportunity is missed, it is very likely that he will lose the opportunity to attack. After the "meteorite" is recovered by the spacecraft, everything will be over.
Mark's reason for first launching particle weapons at the target was his consideration. The particle weapons equipped by Fengxiang are particle beams with electrons. This particle beam not only has the ability to directly destroy the target, but more importantly, its electrons can also cause electromagnetic field chaos within the target range. This is the real purpose of Mark's launching particle weapons.
He knew very well that a weapon launching particle can not cause substantial damage to the "meteorite" at this distance, and it could be used to fill the target with electron-carrying particles around it, thereby disrupting the other party's recovery. Although he was not sure what the effect of doing this was, he could only try it under the current circumstances.
Mark's judgment was correct. Just as the moment when the Fengxiang was about to launch a particle weapon, the "meteorite" floating in space on the screen suddenly took action. It began to rotate slowly, and then began to accelerate, and the direction of its movement was exactly where the spaceship of the Gaia civilization was located.
The Fengxiang particle beam suddenly launched at this time, and instantly passed through the space between the two at the speed of light. As the distance was too long, the emission of the particle beam was extremely spectacular, but it ultimately failed to cause any damage to the "meteorite". Except for seeing the colorful scenes produced by the emitted particle beam hitting the surface of the "meteorite", the entire "meteorite" was not damaged at all.
However, Mark's first move was not useless. Although the surface of the "meteorite" was not damaged, its accelerated movements obviously slowed down. Seeing this result, Mark's eyes lit up. He knew that he had successfully bet. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
