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.
In just a few minutes, the arrogant and arrogant Locke consortium fleet disappeared strangely under a dozen or so return trips of mysterious aircraft.
The rest of the ships were fleeing in panic, hoping to reduce the killing efficiency of the mysterious flying objects in a loose formation, but in just a few minutes, how far could they escape.
"The image is out!" Catherine called up an analysis screen magnified by the brain.
Due to the long distance and the speed of that thing is too fast, it can only be restored to its original appearance through optical splicing technology, so the picture quality is not very clear.
However, it can be vaguely identified. It is a dark-colored strange spherical celestial body that seems to be made of metal and has sharp spikes on the surface.
As an image metaphor...it looks like a meteor hammer?
"The speed of that thing... seems to be decreasing?" Nie Yun stared at the trajectory simulation of the mysterious flying object on the screen, and immediately noticed the abnormality.
In comparison, Gemini's secret weapon has dropped by nearly one-tenth of its original speed.
"Kinetic energy is conserved..." Nie Yun immediately realized the problem.
Although it is not clear why that thing can change direction instantly regardless of inertia, the energy loss caused by the collision seems to still exist.
Although the quality of the spaceship of the Locke Consortium is not worth mentioning compared to the huge size of that thing, but the accumulation of small amounts adds up, the more enemies it destroys, the more kinetic energy it loses, and the speed will naturally decrease accordingly .
The speed close to 27 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 battleship, the success rate of avoiding the attack path will be greatly improved!
And the attack accuracy of this thing...it's really touching, at most it can be bombarded around one coordinate.
"It's 'Reaper'! That must be our most mysterious battle star 'Reaper'!" Emilia, captain of the Fallen Angel, shouted excitedly.
Everyone looked at her at the same time.
"Our generation may have heard relatively little. In my parents' generation, there was often a rumor about a 'ghost celestial body'!" Emilia said.
"It is said that the smuggling boats that travel to and from various hidden waterways all the year round will occasionally encounter a strange super-high-speed wandering celestial body, which cannot be captured by radar, and everyone can only see a fleeting signal.
But when they wanted to search for this celestial body along the other side's advancing route, they couldn't find any trace of it at all, so many people called it a "ghost celestial body".
Some people have also guessed that this "ghost celestial body" is probably the battle star "Reaper" that the dragon sees its head and tail, but no one has ever found evidence.
Now it seems... these things are likely to be true! "
That's it!
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", which patrols the hidden and inaccessible channel all year round...
By consuming an astronomical amount of energy, Gemini slowly accelerates it to close to the speed of light, as a trump card waiting for the irresistible enemy...
Since once the speed drops, it will take a long time and energy to re-accelerate, so if this strategic weapon wants to be able to enter the battlefield at any time, it must not slow down easily.
It's like eating Xuanmai, there is no way to stop...
Therefore, brother wandered in the universe, and only the legend of brother remained in the universe...
As for why Gemini keeps the existence of this thing strictly secret?
Although it is powerful and can make people invisible in seconds, 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 large-scale and high-density meteorites in the fleet array, or looking for various complex environments as battlefields...
Lost in speed, it's not even as threatening as a battleship.
Like the white dwarf bomb, this kind of weapon with extremely obvious weaknesses can only be used unexpectedly for the first time to obtain the greatest results!
And Gemini had to wait until the end to use this big killer. Obviously, it is not something that can be used casually, and it must have huge restrictions.
In this way...
"Order the fleet, speed up the evacuation!"
Seeing that someone was about to move, as if he wanted to get rid of his headache and beat the dog in the water, Nie Yun quickly ordered.
At this time, if you don't run away while the other party can't take care of you, there is a high probability that you will be caught up and eaten by the remaining fleet of the other party.
Sure enough, 10 minutes later, faced with the situation that had been completely dispersed and the attack efficiency was greatly reduced, the battle star "Reaper" seemed to have received some order, and did not turn back after the last penetration.
It flew away at a speed of more than 23 kilometers per second, and soon disappeared from everyone's radar.
In just 15 minutes, Cloros's fleet lost more than a thousand warships, and the remaining three hundred warships were still in shock.
They were like frightened birds, deeply afraid that after this blow was hit, the assassin who had fled thousands of miles would come out of the deep space of the universe again and deal him a fatal blow.
Fortunately, the touching attack accuracy of the "Reaper" saved Cloros' life, and his flagship survived miraculously. With a one-fifth probability, Cloros can be called a lucky star .
"Damn!"
Seeing that the fleet of Nie Yun and others was about to escape the range of his own radar, knowing that it was hopeless to pursue, and also worried that the opponent's secret weapon would turn back again, Cloros reluctantly gave an order to retreat temporarily.
So far, this huge space war has finally come to an end.
This battle is full of ups and downs, and it can be said that the peaks and turns turn again and again...
After the two sides played their respective hole cards... Both sides will suffer!
And until the remnant fleet of Nie Yun and others retreated to the Storm galaxy to stand by for help under the order of the military, they finally received the real information about the battle star "Reaper".
Obviously, after this battle, there is no need for the "Reaper" to keep secrets, especially for "our own people".
And Nie Yun finally learned some information about that "secret treasure"...
……
"Wonderful Object of the Universe"... unsurprisingly, that's Gemini's official title for it.
And according to the ability of this cosmic wonder, Gemini named it..."Vector Engine"!
In the fighter planes on the earth, there is also the concept of "vector engine".
But the "vector engine" here is fundamentally different from the secret "vector engine" of Gemini.
A vector engine refers to an engine that can deflect the nozzle in different directions to generate thrust in different directions. For example, the F35B vertical take-off and landing uses a vector engine that can deflect the nozzle.
But this cosmic wonder obtained by Gemini is completely different...it has the super dreamy ability to instantly change the motion vector of an object!
That is to say, it can change the position of the object installed with the engine from forward to backward in an instant, from left to right, up and down, and the direction change process does not lose kinetic energy and speed at all.
At first glance, this vectoring engine seems like a drag racing artifact at best.
And because mass production cannot be analyzed at all, a vector engine can at most create a super battleship with super maneuverability.
Gemini has indeed done this, but a battleship with super maneuverability is actually quite limited in a large-scale battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are often involved.
Accurate shooting and thick shields are the most important combat indicators of a starship.
And once the opponent's intelligence brain has figured out the capabilities of the vector engine, it will be difficult to avoid even the erratic maneuvering of the vector engine if it adopts an irregular coverage saturation attack.
So Gemini opened their minds again, and started the attempt of super high-speed battleship + vector engine.
However, it was later discovered that the application of this thing in fleet combat was simply a disaster. Due to "speeding", the plan was forced to be suspended three months later with "crashing and crashing".
In the end, Gemini learned from the pain and found another way, and decided to maximize the "speed advantage" of the vector engine, that is, destroy the enemy with a collision, and practice iron head skills!
However, for a celestial body with too small mass, the speed of an impact will drop by more than half, and it will take a long time to re-accelerate if it wants to use it again. It is completely a disposable product.
Thus, "Lonely Wandering Assassin"... The construction plan of the all-metal battle star "Reaper" was finalized!
