Zuo Xiangshan was the first to notice the anomaly in the starry sky. Those strange bright stars must be artificial creations.
In Xiangshan's era, unknown man-made objects in the universe usually brought serious disasters to the battlefield - the brighter they were, the more terrifying they were.
Because "bright" means that it cannot be hidden, and it also means that this artificial object has "high performance that is worth losing even if it loses concealment."
or……
"Ultra-high performance that can achieve the goal even without concealment."
Whichever it is, it's pretty bad.
Zhu Xiangshan hurriedly asked: "Is this your Chaldean weapon? Yes..."
"It must be that one..." the synthesized voice in Li Like's signal was full of horror, "The previous report did not mention that this thing is so bright!"
"That one?" Xiang Shan shook his head: "No matter which one it is, since it's not your thing, it means we are in big trouble!"
That thing was getting brighter and brighter. At the same time, it also started to sway, like a beautiful blue candle.
But Xiangshan knew clearly that it was not the swaying of the candlelight, but the result of the irregular movement of the man-made object.
It is easy to predict a straight trajectory and then snipe, so any single aircraft with high combat effectiveness will perform such movements in space. There is no air resistance in space, and the gravity is very weak. It exerts force in any direction.
can move in opposite directions.
But being able to easily observe this irregular movement means one thing - that thing is fast.
[In other words, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading.
"Wait, compare with the reference object... Mach 8,000... how is it possible? Why is it so fast? Isn't this..." Li Like was extremely surprised.
In the asteroid belt, the biggest obstacle to modern aircraft is not asteroids, but tiny rock particles and dust.
If a human aircraft normally travels through the asteroid belt in 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 among these asteroids
The average distance between them is even greater than the distance between the earth and the moon. To hit such an asteroid requires a little bit of technology.
For those high-speed prosthetics, such a distance is equivalent to a reaction time of about ten seconds. This is a little easier than driving on earth.
Small meteorites with a diameter of less than one meter, especially gadgets with a diameter of a few centimeters, and cosmic dust that is difficult to detect with the naked eye, are more threatening than large celestial bodies. They are more numerous and more difficult to detect.
As the planets move year after year, they have almost cleared up 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 a chance to accumulate into
planet, but was torn apart again by Jupiter's gravity, forming floating interstellar matter. In this area, the density of interstellar matter is much higher than in other areas.
If a bunch of gravel rushes at one percent of the speed of light, it will literally "smash bones and eat away flesh".
Furthermore, all space cities are the battlefield relics of a series of battles between the Sixth and Seventh Valkyrie throughout the asteroid belt. The knights have always chosen areas with dense materials to fight against the enemy. The exploded remains of the battleships are even more of a threat to the little ones.
The interstellar material in the planetary belt fills up a handful of soil.
Similar sub-light speed voyages generally only occur on the "light speed highway". That is a channel carefully maintained by the patrons, and there are no small celestial bodies. Otherwise, with the current intensity of human materials science, it is simply impossible for any creation to travel at sub-light speed.
Traveling through a dense patch of interstellar dust.
And Mach 8,000 is already close to one percent of the speed of light...

Protector Shi fought one against two and wiped out several artillery positions with ease. He knew that he should be able to retreat normally now.
The guy who stole half of his prosthetic body was a real master, but he didn't take away the equipment. He didn't have a plug-in to assist flight, and the propellant in the upper body memory alone was not enough to pursue him.
He got up in mid-air and laughed loudly: "That's it! We still have people in Chaldea who have not yet evacuated. In the past few days, I hope you can lift the blockade of the port and the sentry posts between regions. Otherwise, there is no need to worry about it."
Unpredictable!"
With that said, he turned around and left.
However, the two Chaldean guardians looked beyond him and looked behind him.
At the same time, a light source appeared behind him, a blue light, casting his shadow onto the cracked outer armor of the battleship.
Protector Shi turned around and saw the rapidly beating demon star.
"What's this?"
Protector Stone immediately turned around, and the flying wing plug-in flew over from a distance and automatically connected with the interface on his back. This process took less than a second.
Then he turned around again and wanted to leave.
Then, he spun violently, his sense of direction lost for a moment. The universe turned into a chaotic light in his eyes. It took him a long time to realize that he was being brought there by a huge force.
It rolled in the air.
He struggled to control his direction, and then noticed a horrifying sight.
Huge cracks spread like spider webs on the surface of the battleship, as if it was not steel, but somewhat dry clay.
The terrifying power turned into seismic waves and struck the entire city. This was probably the first "earthquake" in this space city since its birth a hundred years ago.
Power like a natural disaster silently unfolds in the universe.
And what caused all this is indeed...
Like a metal stake...
arms……
--yes……
In just a blink of an eye, the bright blue light appeared behind him.
Fast, too fast...
The Stone Protector roared and turned around to kick out a blow.
But what greeted his kick was not a weapon, but flames and shock waves.
That is……
Jet for deceleration.
In order to slow down, the enemy actually sprayed fuel towards the front. And his speed was too fast. Even if he started to slow down a few light seconds away, the speed here was still terrifying.
No, not only that, he even threw the cold weapon like a pile driver and the high-quality weapon like a big gun from a distance!
The jet used to slow down such a prosthetic body was also terrifying. Protector Stone was immediately engulfed. His prosthetic body was scattered and exploded everywhere by the high temperature.
Then, the guy collected the jet and passed by in a flash.
But the man who suddenly appeared did not stop and continued to slow down. After making a huge detour in the distance, he turned around and continued to slow down.
At this moment, Guardian Stone is about to join the ranks of space junk.
