Annihilation of the solar system

The scorching laser beam carrying huge energy silently swept through the torrent of spore clusters and broken ice belts, just like the extremely sharp Tang knife in the hands of a martial arts master who chopped through the bamboo with an inch of force. The flying blade did not

There was no delay at all, and the bamboo did not move at all, but the cut marks left behind were clearly visible.

At this time, the laser beam diverged in diameter because it exceeded the optimal focusing distance of the space prism. Although the energy density was reduced, it did not affect the damage efficiency. In just two seconds, the broken ice and spores on the irradiation path were instantly vaporized.

, a large amount of water vapor that was instantly evaporated spurted out from the incision.

During the gap between recharging after the first laser cut, the second laser started cutting again at another part of the torrent. The scarlet light illuminated the broken ice belt and the spore group red, and the red light mapped onto the area covered by the previous laser.

On the vaporized mist, the diffuse mist has a bright red luster, like blood splashing in the sky.

Viewed from the ground at night, the silver python in the dark gray sky looks like it is being cut repeatedly by two red-hot swords, and mist like faint bloodstains spurts out from every incision of the python. Then.

As the number of cuts increased and the fog spread, scarlet blood clouds that lit up every ten seconds printed the ground red again and again.

The number on the progress bar at the top of the big screen in the Space Force Combat Command Center jumped - 99%! Chai Shizheng had been staring at this number for a long time, and this jump allowed him to finally blink hard.

Two real-time images obtained through telescopes were displayed on the large screen. The spore groups and broken ice ribbons on the optical images were shrouded by the thick fog formed by cutting and transpiration. Only the flashing red light that lit up during laser cutting could be seen, and the cutting point

The situation is no longer clearly visible.

But in another thermal imaging picture, every through-cut formed by the translucent light beam cutting on the torrent is still clearly visible.

"Now let you guys have a taste of minced meat!" a staff officer said excitedly, gently waving his clenched fists.

The breathing of the officers in the command center seemed to be adjusted to the same frequency as the cutting. As the dim red light lit up in the window of the command center, there would be a faint sound of breathing in the command center, as if to celebrate every successful kill.

cheer.

"Calculate the final killing effect based on the current cutting frequency and torrent track speed!" Chai Shizheng said.

The technical officer quickly came to the conclusion:

"Report! Before the spore swarm and ice fragments completely enter low-Earth orbit, we can complete 33% of the total effective kills!"

Everyone in the command center's eyes flashed with the joy and excitement of success, because this meant that the lunar high-energy laser defense system could not only complete the established killing mission, but even exceed it by 3%.

Chai Shizheng still looked solemn. The completely failed space turret defense plan made the 33% kill ratio still far from the Space Force's mission of wiping out more than 50% of alien organic creatures in space. Moreover, the progress displayed at the top of the big screen

There is still no obvious change in the number, and the number is still at 98.6%.

"Change the oblique cutting method to longitudinal, and the laser beam scanning speed will increase by 1/3."

"yes!"

The diagonal cutting method like cutting sausages was replaced by cutting along the long direction of the torrent, and the laser scanning speed was also increased by 1/3. After several rounds of cutting, the staff officer reported excitedly:

"The killing efficiency has been significantly improved. Although it cannot completely cut off the ice fragments and spore groups, the average cutting depth remains at about 3/4, and the damage efficiency has increased by 2/5 than before! According to calculations, the final damage ratio will reach 47 %!”

Chai Shizheng slowly let out a breath he had been holding for a long time, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

On the real-time image of visible light imaging on the large screen, the long strips of spore groups and broken ice belts can no longer be seen. Rapid vertical cutting has raised a larger-scale white fog, making the screen appear a blur of alternating red and white. .

People on the ground could see with their naked eyes that the waterfall-shaped light strip in the sky, which was originally like the Milky Way falling into the sky, had turned into a long strip of fog that spanned more than half of the gray sky. The laser-cut red halo flickered in it, like a chaotic mess. There are Shinra fighting in the clouds, which is as terrifying as the clouds.

The entire earth is constantly switching between the colors of cinnabar and lead gray, and the mist that is still spreading in the sky seems to be covering the entire world. Whether the people on the earth are excited or depressed, they all look at the sky irresistibly. This scene is as thrilling as the creation and destruction of the world.

Although the billowing clouds that half covered the sky were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, they seemed to be within reach of the fingertips, and their suffocating oppression wrapped heavily around everyone under the sky.

After a while, in the fog like gray ink blooming in the clear water, the flashing red light began to dim. The silver of the flowing clouds gradually became shining, and the shallow fog on the edge of the dense clouds even began to shine under the sunlight. Shiny.

Chai Shizheng stared at the cutting marks that were getting shallower and shallower on the thermal imaging screen. The deep groove between his eyebrows gradually deepened, and his unclenched fists clenched again. The progress bar showing the kill ratio was almost locked when it dropped to 97.3%.

Soon, the bright laser beam on the black-and-white screen, which was much wider than expected, could only remove a small layer of skin flakes on the swarm of spores and the dark mud-like torrent of broken ice belts, while the rhythmic red light outside the window was even brighter than the previous one. It was even more beautiful before.

"What's going on?" Chai Shizheng asked anxiously.

The technical officers and staff were busy fiddling with the operation table for a while.

"Report! It has been confirmed that the lunar laser emission array and refraction prism are working normally. The damage efficiency is decreasing sharply!"

As an expert consultant, Xia Lan was also in the command center. She walked quickly to the window. Although it was early in the morning, the sky was already as dark as a cloudy day. Spreading clouds had already covered most of the sky, and they were standing behind the sun. It emits a lead-gray luster when illuminated.

The dark side of the crescent moon flashes like a neon light in the red light emitted by the laser tower, and the incident laser disappears into the dense clouds. With each laser irradiation, most of the silver clouds will briefly become as red as fire. , then dimmed again, and so on.

Xia Lan turned around and looked at Chai Shizheng in panic:

"The vaporized water mist condenses into fine ice crystal particles in space. They disperse around the spore groups and broken ice belts and refract the divergent laser beam. This will greatly reduce the energy density of the laser beam!"

"Immediately change the irradiation position of the laser beam, and let the laser shoot towards the broken ice belt and the area behind the spore cluster where no fog has yet appeared!" Chai Shizheng shouted.

After the order was issued, several more penetrations were made at the rear of the torrent, but that was all. On the thermal imaging screen, the laser beam was scratching on the torrent like a blunt knife covered with rust.

The magnified optical image showed a cruel picture - spore groups and torrents of broken ice belts stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers were spontaneously raising thick fog.

Occasionally, there would be a dark blue ionized light band spreading from one end of the dense cloud to the other. Soon, everyone could see clearly that this time it was not just one diffusion center, but a large number of centers.
