Hou Shuwen's face turned grave, staring at the holographic screen at the control center. It was the light dot representing the Glassian's fleet, traveling at a terrifying speed and was approaching them.
Their mission was to block their way and lure them so that the Glassian would attack them. The Glassian would then slow down or even deactivate the warp drive flight mode. At the same time, they could collect the firsthand information from them.
Superluminal speed was relative. As estimated by the information department, when one's own party was unable to determine the opponent's location, the opponent would not be able to do so as well, especially when the space fluctuation caused by the warp drive could cause a serious deviation in the opponent's attack.
To some extent, the fleet was the target of fire.
It was a difficult mission where everyone had a slim chance of surviving.
"General, there's still one month left." A young adjutant reminded. Looking at his mustache and his young face, it seemed like he had not even reached 20 years old.
However, there was nothing special about it as most of the soldiers here were incredibly young. They were not the ordinary people. They were the new humans. Most of them aged around 15 to 18 years old. Only the new humans could withstand the acceleration of 8g over a long period of time. In addition to their strong learning ability, it would be easier for them to control the spaceship. After being trained for three years, they were now a qualified soldier.
Hou Shuwen nodded his head, "Please inform the rest that we're releasing the first batch of the space fighter. Let's see what they have got."
As it was being delivered via the quantum communication between spaceships, the cabin door of the space fighter instantly opened. Countless space fighters that resembled locusts were being fired out of the muzzle of the electromagnetic cannon. As soon as it was ignited, it accelerated and soon, it overtook the spaceship and blasted off into space.
…
As time passed, the fleet felt increasingly oppressed. The light dot of the Glassian's fleet was getting closer to them and was now 0.01 light years away from the Space City. At the same time, the space fighters were getting nearer to the light dot as well.
It was extremely quiet in the command cabin and one could even hear a pin drop over there. The crews were all staring at the green dots that were arranged closely together. They were representing the space fighters. With the assistance of the artificial intelligence system, the variables were carefully adjusted and controlled and they flew towards the Glassian's fleet.
The space fighters scattered around the space like the sprinkling of pepper. The distance between each space fighters was more than 10,000 kilometers or more. This was to ensure that the space fighter would not miss the Glassian's fleet due to the error in the space wave detection system.
Nevertheless, the probability that both of them would meet was extremely low.
Hou Shuwen was worried, looking at the data being displayed on the holographic screen. He closed his eyes occasionally as if he was trying to sense something?
He was an evolved man with recessive character. Compared to an evolved man with dominant character, it was a hidden type of evolution. Regarding his combat strength, there was not much difference between them. Similarly, they had no unique superpower.
However, it did not indicate that an evolved man of this form was not strong. Some of the evolved men would possess mysterious power that was beyond imagination.
His ability was that he had a strong sense of instinct. Under the situation where he could see nothing at all, he could solely rely on a laser gun to hit a soybean-sized bull's eye that was a few kilometers away with his sense.
He was an evolved man who relied a lot on the weapon. In other words, the stronger the weapon was, the more powerful his destructive ability would be.
Thanks to his ability, he could quickly stand out from the troop, becoming the commander of the fleet.
After a long while, Hou Shuwen slowly opened his eyes. He looked disappointed. Perhaps it was because both of them were too far apart or probably due to the terribly fast speed of the opponent, he could not sense it at all.
"Five of the space fighters had lost contact!" One of the crews suddenly shouted.
Hou Shuwen immediately opened his eyes. He was shocked and soon, he looked delighted and immediately said, "Artificial intelligence system, please record the location of the space fighter before it loses contact and the time sequence. Build up the flight path and at the same time, send the data to the war command center."
This was an extremely important piece of information. It seemed like the space fighters had lost contact simultaneously. However, there was a slight difference in time between them. Based on the location of the space fighters that had lost contact as well as the difference in time, they could calculate the flight path of the fleet and its exact speed. They could then launch an attack.
It seemed like the messages were synchronized as they were delivered over a distance of hundred millions of kilometers to the supercomputer at the war intelligence center.
After exactly one second later, the space defense system was launched.
The cannons that looked like the forts were hanging mid-air. The gun barrels gradually rotated and started recharging rapidly. A threatening aura was spreading everywhere.
The next moment, over 10,000 beams of dazzling lights streaked across the dark space and disappeared far away.
These lights were all filled with an immense destructive power. Through the transmission of quantum energy and the high-powered fuel cells, the energy released by the cannons could be overlaid without limits. This could avoid the materials being restricted by the energy which allowed it to generate terrifying power. If it was being fired on Earth, a huge pit would be formed by just one beam of those lights, causing abrupt changes on the planet.
If there were more than 10,000 of them, perhaps the entire Earth would explode into pieces.
The space defense system had launched the regional attack for five times.
As Hou Shuwen raised his head and glanced at the three-dimensional screen, countless beams of light passed through space and disappeared soon after. He did not have much hope, given that it was only a trial attack. Regardless of how powerful the attack was, if it had lost its accuracy, it would be akin to killing a mosquito with an anti-aircraft where the effects would be rendered useless. It might even take about seven hours to reach the approximate location of the target.
He no longer paid attention to it. He then lowered his head and looked at the images recorded by the space fighters nearby. They were synchronized and the photos of the space fighters that had lost contact were sent to him via the quantum communication device.
It seemed like there were no traces showing that few of these space fighters had been attacked. They were completely fine in space. However, they had lost their motive power.
Everything was a mere façade. Further analysis had been done by the spaceship and discovered that the surface of the space fighter had slightly changed in shape. There were even fractures and cracks appeared on some of the parts of the space fighter.
It was indeed that the space fighters were not attacked. They got too close to the Glassian's fleets that had launched the warp drive, resulting in a slight change in shape after encountering the space fluctuation. The deformation was rather weak as it was not fatal even to humans. However, it could be a destructive attack on the space fighter that had been made precisely and the electronic system installed within the spaceship.
In the command cabin, the atmosphere was heavy.
Perhaps everyone knew what this meant?
This indicated that without any attacks, the Glassian's fleet was capable of destroying the human defense system. The spaceship would not need to stop at all. By just spending some time, they would be able to achieve victory.
There were only 28 hours left until their arrival.
Fortunately, humans had evacuated. Otherwise, the human race would all be wiped out.
Again, Hou Shuwen sent the information to the war command center situated at the Space City. He soon instructed, "Send out the second batch of space fighters!"
The previous detection technique was effective. Despite they were unable to verify it, at the very least, there were some chances for them.
As soon as Hou Shuwen instructed, a dramatic scene happened. The spaceship space wave detection system had instantly detected that the space wave was slowing down its speed. At the same time, the fluctuation of speed had been weakened.
Hou Shuwen felt that it was unbelievable and he opened his eyes widely.
…
Right this moment, the Glassian's fleet decelerated according to their plan.
The reason why they were doing so was because the Glassian was unfamiliar with the first generation of the spaceship that could launch a warp drive. They were lacking the crucial superluminal speed detection technique which caused humans and the Glassian to be like two blind men. Humans were unable to track the location of the Glassian's spaceship. Similarly, the Glassian was unable to determine the location of the human base camp.
In order to detect its target, the Glassian first needed to slow down their speed.
As a matter of fact, the Glassian's technology was not as powerful as expected by humans. They were almost on par as both parties had their own strengths. Over the past few years, there was an explosion in human technology. Human technology had surpassed the Glassian's technology in certain areas whereas for the rest of the areas they were almost on par.
Due to the problem of reality, the physics field was only developing quickly over the past few years. They were still lagging behind which caused the Glassian to be able to travel in the warp drive flight mode before them.
Unfortunately, one could often defeat their opponent with merely one crucial breakthrough.
It was akin to the first appearance of a tank during the First World War. The United Kingdom took the lead in the invention of the tank where it could be used in a war and managed to retrieve a defeat. It was a big step forward despite the fact that the technical standards of both the United Kingdom and Germany were on par.
However, the information received by both parties were non-transparent. Humans were afraid of Glassian's mysterious technology. The Glassian had great confidence in their mission this time. They were rushing to their destination without a single halt. They did not investigate it beforehand as they would never expect that the human technology had been developing so quickly in the past 10 years as they were traveling most of the time.
Coincidentally, only 10 seconds had passed since the space fighter had lost contact until the Glassian slowed down their speed. The most miraculous thing was that since the space fighters were all scattered around, one of them was only about ten thousands of kilometers away from it.
As the Glassian's speed had been reduced to slower than the speed of light and had first gotten its detection ability, the surrounding space fighters started to attack abruptly.
Hou Shuwen's face turned grave, staring at the holographic screen at the control center. It was the light dot representing the Glassian's fleet, traveling at a terrifying speed and was approaching them.
