Super Mothership

Chapter 621

Chapter 620: The Lonely Wandering Assassin

“This is the legendary… true iron head skill?”

On the Fallen Angel, Nie Yun looked at the amazing picture on the screen in shock.

The arrogant and arrogant Locke consortium fleet, which had just been unsuccessful, disappeared for the most part in only a few minutes after a dozen or so turns of the mysterious aircraft.

The rest of the ships ran away in panic, hoping to reduce the killing efficiency of the mysterious flying objects with a loose formation, but in just a few minutes, how far they could escape.

“The image is out!” Catherine called up a magnified analysis screen of Wisdom.

Because of the long distance, the speed of the thing is too fast, and it can only be restored to its true colors through optical stitching technology, so the picture quality is not very clear.

However, it was faintly recognizable. It was a strange spherical celestial body with a dark color and a metal structure and sharp thorns on its surface.

In terms of image metaphor…Like Meteor Hammer?

“The speed of that thing…seems to be declining?” Nie Yun stared at the trajectory simulation of the mysterious flying object on the screen, and immediately found the abnormality.

In comparison, this secret weapon of Gemini has dropped by nearly one-tenth of its original speed.

“Is kinetic energy conserved…” Nie Yun immediately realized the problem.

Although it is not clear why the thing can change direction instantly regardless of inertia, the energy loss caused by the collision still seems to exist.

Although the mass of the spacecraft of the Locke Consortium is not worth mentioning relative to the huge volume of that thing, but the accumulation of less can add up, and the more enemies it destroys, the more kinetic energy it loses, and the speed will naturally decrease. .

The speed of close to 270,000 kilometers per second is still quite terrifying, but it also means… this thing is not invincible!

Once the speed drops below half the speed of light, relying on the radar and maneuvering system of the warship, the success rate of avoiding the attack path will be greatly Ascension!

And the accuracy of this thing’s attack… is really touching, at best, it’s just bombarding around a coordinate.

“It’s “Reaper”! That must be our most mysterious battle star “Reaper”!” Captain Emilia of the Fallen Angel shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked at her at the same time.

“Our generation may have heard of it relatively little. In my parents’ generation, there is often a rumor about the’ghost celestial body’!” Emilia whispered.

“It is said that the smuggling ship that travels through various secret waterways all the year round will occasionally encounter a weird super-high-speed wandering celestial body, which the radar can’t capture at all, and everyone can only see a flashing signal.

But just when they wanted to look for this celestial body along the route of the other party, they couldn’t find it at all, so many people called it a ‘ghost celestial body’.

It has also been speculated that this ‘ghost celestial body’ is probably the ‘Reaper’, the battle star of the dragon, but no one has ever found evidence.

Now it seems… these things are likely to be true! ”

I see!

Through these clues, Nie Yun quickly thought of the closest truth.

Gemini has a secret treasure that can instantly change the trajectory of objects…

They installed it on the battle star “Reaper”, and it patrols inaccessible secret waterways all the year round…

Gemini slowly accelerates it to close to the speed of light by consuming astronomical amounts of energy, waiting for the irresistible enemy as a trump card…

Once the speed drops, it takes a long time and energy to accelerate again, so if this strategic weapon wants to be able to go on the battlefield at any time, it must not be easily slowed down.

It’s like eating Xuanmai, there is no way to stop…

So brother wanders in the universe, and the universe only leaves the legend of brother…

As for why Gemini should keep the existence of this thing strictly confidential?

Although it is powerful, it can be invisible and invisible, but its weaknesses are also obvious.

If the enemy knows in advance, the opponent can immediately make targeted arrangements for this weakness, such as placing a pile of high-mass and high-density meteorites in the fleet array, or looking for various complex environments as the battlefield…

Without speed, it is not even as threatening as a battleship.

Like the white dwarf bomb, this extremely weak weapon can only be used unexpectedly for the first time to achieve the greatest result!

Moreover, Gemini had no choice but to use this big killer until the end. Obviously, it is not something that can be used casually, and it must have huge restrictions.

If it looks like this…

“Order the fleet to speed up the evacuation!”

Seeing someone eager to move, and seemed to want to get rid of their headaches, Nie Yun quickly ordered.

At this time, if you don’t take advantage of the opponent’s care, you will run away, and you will probably be eaten by the opponent’s remaining fleet if you stay.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, in the face of a situation where the attack efficiency had been completely dispersed and the attack efficiency was greatly reduced, the battle star “Reaper” seemed to have received some order, and never returned after the last interspersion.

It disappeared at a speed of more than 230,000 kilometers per second, and soon disappeared from everyone’s radar.

In this short fifteen minutes, Cloros’s fleet lost more than a thousand warships, and the remaining more than 300 warships are still in shock.

They were like frightened birds, and they were afraid that the assassin, who had fled thousands of miles away, once again emerged from the deep space of the Universe after this blow, and gave himself a fatal blow.

Fortunately, the touching accuracy of the “Reaper” saved Cloros’ life, and his flagship survived miraculously. With a one-fifth probability, Cloros can be regarded as a lucky star. .

“Damn it!”

Seeing that the fleet of Nie Yun and others was about to escape from their radar range, knowing that there was no hope of pursuing them, and also worried that the other party’s secret weapon would return again, Cloros unwillingly issued an order to retreat temporarily.

At this point, this large-scale Universe war has finally come to an end.

The ups and downs of this battle can be described as turning round and round…

After both sides played their hole cards… both lose!

And until the remnant fleet of Nie Yun and others retreated to Storm Galaxy to stand by for help under the order of the military, they finally received real information about the battle star “Reaper”.

Obviously, after this battle, “Reaper” naturally has no need to keep it secret, especially for “owners.”

And Nie Yun finally learned some information about that “secret treasure”…

…

“Universe Wonder”…Unsurprisingly, this is the official title of Gemini.

According to the abilities of this strange thing in the Universe, Gemini named it…”Vector Engine”!

There is also the concept of “vector engine” in the earth’s fighter jets.

But the “vector engine” here is essentially different from the secretive “vector engine” of Gemini.

Vector engine refers to an engine that can deflect nozzles in different directions to generate thrust in different directions. For example, F35B vertical take-off and landing uses a vector engine with deflectable nozzles.

But the strange thing in the Universe obtained by Gemini is completely different…it has the super fantastic ability to instantly change the motion vector of the object!

In other words, the object that it can install the engine changes from forward to backward in an instant, and drifting from left to right, up and down is completely unnecessary, and the direction change process does not lose kinetic energy and speed at all.

At first glance, this vector engine seems to be a drag racing artifact at best.

And because it is completely impossible to analyze mass production, a vector engine can at best create a super-powerful super warship.

Gemini has indeed done this before, but a super-powerful warship has a very limited effect on a large-scale battlefield with hundreds of thousands at every turn.

Accurate hits and thick shields are the most important combat indicators of interstellar warships.

Once the other party’s brain has understood the capabilities of the vector engine and adopts an irregular coverage saturation attack, it is difficult to avoid even the erratic maneuvering of the vector engine.

As a result, Gemini has opened up his mind again, and started the trial of ultra-high-speed battleship + vector engine.

However, it was later discovered that the application of this thing in fleet operations was simply a disaster. Due to the “speeding”, the plan was forced to halt three months later with a “racing crash”.

In the end, Gemini learned from the pain, and decided to use the vector engine’s “speed advantage” to the extreme, that is, to destroy the enemy by crashing, and practice hard work!

However, the celestial body with too small mass has to drop more than half of its speed to complete an impact, and it will take a long time to re-accelerate if it wants to use it again. It is completely disposable.

As a result, the “lonely wandering assassin”… the construction plan of the all-metal battle star “Reaper” is finally finalized!
