A huge black shadow enveloped the transport spacecraft. The sharp and strong barbs on the black shadow easily smashed the wreckage of the spacecraft floating in mid-air.
A section of the spacecraft shell that was still intact was shattered among the barbs that seemed to be wriggling, as if they had been chewed.
The next second, a huge protrusion that looked like a whale's fin crashed into the bridge of the remaining transport spacecraft and shredded the remaining hull.
"Boom!" A huge explosion exploded on the fin-like protrusion, and the entire spacecraft turned into a gorgeous fireworks.
The fireworks disappeared little by little, and the surroundings returned to calm again. Next to the huge drop-shaped sphere that resembled cocklebur grass that had slowed down, another sphere with the same shape also slowed down and stopped.
Just like the two satellites orbiting the planet Higgs 5, they are slowly traveling along the orbit.
In the universe some distance away from the planet Higgs 5, two battleships traveling in formation were traveling in their own orbits one behind the other.
The slender hull looked very small in the universe. On the hull, which was larger than an aircraft carrier, in the middle of the gray-white paint, some position lights that seemed to be breathing flashed one after another.
On the bridge of the battleship sailing ahead, the captain sitting in his seat removed his eyes from the messy data on the computer screen.
"This damn communication interference still hasn't subsided! There's no way, we're checking to see if any nearby stars are erupting into storms..." His adjutant reported to his captain.
Not far away, a puppet robot was facing the computer, checking the data on various stellar flare outbreaks: "Gamma rays are normal, the amount of radiation is normal... electromagnetic radiation is normal, and nearby stars are in a normal state!"
"We are investigating 19 nearby stars of various types and confirming their status. The communication environment may be restored at any time." The adjutant glanced at the reporting puppet and continued.
The captain frowned and ordered: "Strengthen the quantum communication power and upgrade the communication environment response strategy to the highest level!"
"Yes! The directional quantum communication has been charged, and the ship is restoring communication with the Iron Spear!" the adjutant replied, standing at attention and saluting.
The second destroyer that follows the first destroyer is relatively old. It belongs to the second batch of space destroyers produced and built. It is a first-generation design and is much behind in terms of functions.
However, it has also undergone some modernization and adopted some inexpensive new technologies, and is now barely used as a patrol destroyer.
The puppet robot received the communication signal and transmitted the signal to its captain: "Sir! There is a message from the flagship Scarecrow."
"Transmit our intelligence to them!" the captain of the destroyer ordered.
After a while, the communications officer of the destroyer Scarecrow handed the message to his captain: "The Iron Spear called, and their radar detected a strange signal before the strong electromagnetic interference started... They are analyzing the data,
However, the nearby communication environment completely collapsed, and the central computer on their battleship alone could not process the data in time!"
The anxious captain found that his long-distance communications were still severely interfered with. He was unable to contact the Higgs planet, the chief auxiliary of the Higgs region, and he was also unable to contact the regional fleet stationed in the Higgs region.
So he complained a little anxiously: "Our communication with the planet Higgs 5 has been cut off for more than an hour! This has never happened before!"
"There should be a supply ship near Higgs 5. We can try to contact that supply ship to see if we can restore contact or find out what happened there." The adjutant suggested.
"No, we can't contact them. That spacecraft doesn't have a military-grade quantum communication device, so we can't get in touch with it." The communications officer shook his head and rejected the suggestion: "I will try to contact them every few minutes.
No response."
"It's really troublesome! How long will it take to rule out the possibility of natural interference?" The captain was already feeling uneasy, and his keen military intuition told him that things might not be as simple as imagined.
"It will probably take about 2 hours." The adjutant replied quickly.
"Forget it, let's treat it as a drill! Call the destroyer USS Iron Spear! Our ship is preparing to make a space jump to the Higgs 5 space domain!" The captain made up his mind to go to the place where the incident occurred.
Now the empire has not completely entered a state of peace. The war with the Tianjian Shenzong has only stopped and is far from over.
Who knew if it was the trick of those damn swordsmen, so he thought he should go to the place where the incident occurred to confirm the situation there.
At this time, the communications officer reported loudly: "Report! The Iron Spear calls back, and they will jump simultaneously with us to the suspicious area."
"Charge all weapon systems on the battleship! The exercise begins! The exercise assumes that we will encounter the enemy after the jump is completed!" the captain ordered with a solemn expression.
"The Iron Spear called back and asked if it needs to be loaded with energy torpedoes." Soon, another message came back from another destroyer.
The captain replied without any hesitation: "Reload! Order them to prepare for level one combat! After charging is completed, I will immediately send him a synchronization signal to start the space jump!"
The weapons officer looked at the data reflected on various weapons and equipment on the computer screen and reported: "Report! The electromagnetic gun is charged!"
Afterwards, he continued to report the torpedo loading status loudly: "The energy torpedo is loaded! It can be launched at any time!"
"The main thruster is ignited!" the officer in charge of the power system reported. Following his report, the Scarecrow destroyer began to slowly accelerate forward.
The Iron Spear, which was following the Scarecrow, also began to accelerate forward, and the two destroyers were increasing their speed.
As the battleship accelerated, the officer of the power system continued to report loudly: "The space jump engine is charged!"
"Send a signal to the Iron Spear, our ship has been charged!" the captain loudly ordered to the communications officer: "The space jump has begun!"
"Three, two, one! The space jump engine starts, the space jump begins!" The officer of the power system immediately responded to the captain's order.
"Buzz...chirp..." Accompanied by a roar, the two battleships slowly disappeared in place almost at the same time.
