Epoch of Twilight

It is said to be a space fighter, but in fact, it is not small.

It has a length of 230 meters and a wingspan of 120 meters. Not counting various warheads, its take-off weight exceeds 12,000 tons, and its full load even reaches 15,000 tons. It is essentially a small air-ground dual-purpose spaceship spaceship.

And since there is no need for direct manipulation by personnel, there is no need to consider body overload, so both its flexibility and acceleration are far superior to real space battleships, except for firepower!

Of course, this is only relative to the real battleship.

The war broke out the moment the opponent was exposed!

The artificial intelligence in the space fighter closest to the spacecraft detects the target instantly, and in just a few tens of nanoseconds, through various identification methods such as feature recognition and information verification, it judges that the opponent is the target to destroy, and immediately calculates the predicted target. Judging the opponent's position.

The next moment, the main gun of the space fighter flashed away, and a high-energy gamma ray shot forward at the speed of light.

The distance of tens of thousands of kilometers is almost face-to-face for a real interstellar war, especially for light-speed electromagnetic weapons (including lasers and gamma rays), from launching to reaching the target, even in just one-tenth of a second.

The gamma ray cannon, as a strategic weapon for humans to imitate the ability of space behemoths, has been the most powerful weapon for humans since its birth, except for antimatter bombs, but the former is not very practical due to speed limitations , the latter is the most efficient weapon in space warfare.

During these years of continuous research, this weapon has been continuously improved and optimized.

The body size is getting smaller and smaller, the time for instantaneous energy output is getting shorter and shorter, and at the same time, the power is getting bigger and bigger.

From a strategic weapon that could only be used on interstellar warships and large turrets, it is now a standard configuration for space fighters.

And this kind of light-speed weapon, because the speed itself is the speed of light, unless it has the detection ability of super-light speed, once it is fired, it cannot be detected, and it cannot be avoided in advance. When you find out, there are only two possibilities, one is not hit, Across your distance, one is getting hit.

This recent Bosingian battleship, apparently unlucky, belongs to the latter.

It was directly hit by the gamma ray cannon on the tail, and a part of the energy collided with the armor of the Boss spaceship, bursting out a light hundreds of times more dazzling than the sun, and another small part of the energy directly penetrated the armor and erupted inside it, causing destruction sexual destruction.

All the electronic equipment in the spaceship erupted with sparks immediately, and the spaceship was turned off instantly. At the same time, hundreds of Bosians inside were vaporized immediately before they could react.

Immediately afterwards, after an interval of 0.3 seconds, another Bossian warship stepped into the footsteps again, but this was only the last glorious record. When it fired the second gamma ray cannon, this space fighter, It was completely submerged by a high-energy laser.

...

"Who can tell me what's going on?" the commander of the Boxing people roared loudly.

This time, the Boxing people prepared for the expedition for nearly ten years and exhausted all their strength to build this sci-fi god-class fleet. The total number is only twelve ships. .

And the most ironic thing is that the attack was only a tiny battleship.

How can this be?

No matter how much he overestimated the potential of human beings, no matter how much he mentally prepared for the possible unfavorable situation, he couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, but the cruel reality was displayed bloody in front of him.

Looking at the two completely lost interstellar spaceships on the 3D screen, he couldn't help but shudder slightly, a kind of chill from the bottom of his heart rose from his heart, making him icy cold to the bone.

A miniature warship with such a powerful attack power and the level of technology in it made his hair stand on end. Human strength needs to be re-evaluated.

Maybe the Bositens did something wrong and unleashed a demon that ultimately brought their own destruction.

Faced with the commander's questioning, at this time all Boxing people turned pale and were silent. The momentary encounter made the condescending mentality of thinking that this expedition was just a relaxed feat, and was plunged into a sharp knife.

The huge psychological gap makes people almost feel unreal.

What they encountered was no longer the sheep that could be slaughtered at will, but a ferocious beast with its fangs bared.

At this time, the harsh siren broke the silence in the control cabin.

"Detected a large number of unknown types of micro-warships, the number: 999... found that the energy source passed by, and the distance from the nearest spaceship is 30,000 kilometers."

"It was discovered that the energy source passed by, and the nearest spacecraft is 10,000 kilometers away!"

"It was discovered that the energy source passed through..."

Hearing the unemotional voice of the intelligence brain, the commander of the Boxing people was terrified, his scalp was numb, he stood up abruptly and ordered loudly: "Activate the weapon system, lock the target, and destroy them all!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, judging by the situation, the other party has not yet shown hostility. This is not a self-defense counterattack, but an act of war. According to Article 3 of the Constitution on War, launching a war must be authorized by the Supreme Head of State. Please apply as soon as possible. .”

The commander of the Boxing people, his expression froze when he heard it, and his body couldn't help shaking.

"You didn't realize that they are already attacking!" He suppressed his anger.

"Unfortunately, there are no more data sources to prove this point. I suggest you, Commander, please obtain authorization as soon as possible!" Zhinao Machine replied.

Like human beings, or the natural vigilance of intelligent creatures to another similar intelligent mode, the Boxing people have been full of vigilance against it since the emergence of artificial intelligence, but there is no doubt that the Boxing people are more cautious, especially when it comes to the use of spaceship weapons. There are many restrictions, with rules and regulations, and the rigid machinery is extremely rigid.

As a stable and mature civilization, the power of the military must be checked and balanced, especially when one party still controls the most advanced space battleship of the entire civilization, it is a great risk. They may all perish.

In addition, this expedition did not have much risk in the original analysis. After all, who would think that a backward civilization that could not escape from the planet more than ten years ago would pose a threat to this powerful fleet?

In the eyes of high-level officials, compared with humans, the people who control this powerful fleet are probably a greater threat to civilization and must be guarded against.

So much so that before he set off, he didn't get the right to make a temporary decision on the war at all.

If he hadn't realized the disadvantages of doing so before, Boxing has been peaceful for more than five hundred years, and even wars are low-intensity civil strife. The need to use intraplanetary spacecraft is only once in the past two hundred years, and it will subside within a few days.

For interstellar warfare, I have no experience at all, and I can't find the target of the war. I drew my sword and looked around, but I couldn't find an opponent. Therefore, all the time, I kept the swords and guns in the warehouse, and I had no sense of war. Like the last expedition The earth is already the first time in history.

However, the huge disparity in strength did not attract much attention and vigilance. After all, the higher-ups paid attention to the potential threat of human beings, not strength.

"Spaceship No. 5 was attacked by an unknown type of micro-spaceship and lost contact. According to the principle of weapon self-defense, the defense system was activated... The target of the attack has been destroyed!"

At this time, the bad news came from the brain again, waking him up instantly, and the control cabin was already solemn.

He was shaking all over, and immediately woke up. It is meaningless to argue with the brain at this time, not to mention that once the result of the brain is judged, there will be no change due to the dispute. He quickly issued an order: "The spaceship fully activates the curvature mode, Enter the state of superluminal speed, and at the same time, connect me... the office of the head of state!"

The last sentence was almost gnashing of teeth.

"Follow your orders!"

The next moment, the spaceship shook slightly, and the power began to output at full strength. The spatial fluctuations of the spaceship quickly became stronger, and its speed began to slowly increase.

All the Boxing people held their breath, their hearts were pounding, and their fear of unknown orders made the atmosphere in the entire control room freeze and depressed.

Curvature flight has a huge feature or flaw. It can stop instantly without inertia, but it is a slow thing to accelerate.

The beams of light passing by the front or back of the spaceship momentarily from time to time made the Boxing people shudder, fearing that the spaceship would follow in the footsteps in the next moment.
