Him and their stars

Eisen and Xiaobai didn't pay attention to the small dispute between the captain and the gunnery chief. They just paid full attention to the four anti-matter bombs leaving the magazine. They were thrown by the slingshot and quickly passed through the sky, heading towards Ups and downs, like an orange-red "sea" rolling with countless mountain-like waves.

The "sea", at this moment, has extended beyond the limit that the crew can see with the naked eye, like a curtain that covers the universe.

However, everyone knows that this is the true form of the star planter.

After getting past those organs that look like jellyfish tentacles, this is its main body.

It is said that under this orange-red "ocean", there is hidden a star-level power that can reach countless people. It is said that when the star planter swallows this energy, it will either absorb a star or a star will be born.

This is the power of heaven and earth that exceeds common sense imagination. It was really hard for them to imagine that the giant thing that seemed to cover the universe and stars was still a living thing. If the people aboard New Shenzhou 2 were not all extremely determined warriors and young scientists, if ordinary people were to get close to this distance, just the spontaneous phobia of giant animals would be enough to scare them out of their wits.

Can our mere mortal weapons really cause usable damage to that thing?

You know, ten minutes ago, the Xiaguang No. actually did the same thing, but the antimatter bomb only bounced on the barrier on the behemoth's body, and immediately seemed to fall into a black hole, and was It was instantly crushed and decomposed into a pile of particles that even the most advanced instruments could not distinguish.

Now, Aisen and Xiaobai held their breath, hoping that this scene would not happen again.

...No, those anti-matter bombs at least reduced the energy barrier to less than 60%. This at least shows that everyone's methods are not wrong.

As they paid attention, the four mines began to accelerate. Immediately afterwards, a transparent film unfolded, wrapping its entire body in it.

At this moment, their speed was comparable to that of a small fighter plane, and they rushed toward the orange-red ocean of light that stretched across the sky.

Under such extreme astrological conditions, the time that the space bubble can continue to operate is actually limited. However, just such a little time is enough at this time. The machine thunder rushed into the swirling firelight, as if it was submerged in a thin gauze curtain, and went straight towards the preset target.

Aisen felt that his heartbeat began to accelerate violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He knew that whether he could see the outcome would depend on the next step.

Within two seconds, Tamir's voice sounded on the bridge again: "The space bubble generator produced neutralization...Bomb No. 3 crashed! Bomb No. 4 yawed!"

Xiaobai's eyes had been closed, as if he didn't dare to listen anymore, but the bad news brought by Tamir continued: "No. 1 and No. 2 are close to the surface of the Star Planter... No. 1, No. 1 The bomb crashed and failed to penetrate the skin of the star planter. I repeat, the power of the No. 1 bomb can break through the skin of the star planter. The No. 1 bomb crashed!"

Tai'a could feel that at this moment, everyone's mood was obviously depressed.

She quickly glanced at everyone in the bridge, only to find that although their moods were shaken, they did not move their eyes away from the scene she was paying attention to.

Miss Tai'a was relieved immediately. Regardless of her exhausted body, she dragged the heraldic machine and opened the back door of the bridge with one hand, preparing to open the magazine under the belly of the ship.

At this time, Tamir's voice came again: "Bomb No. 2, the space bubble generator of No. 2 successfully passed through matter. It has definitely entered the body of the Star Planter!"

Eisen let out a long, rough breath. Everyone's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.

"How long is the time left?" Banner asked loudly.

"2 minutes and 45 seconds."

"With only one shot, it will be difficult to make the Star Planter lose his balance." Eisen looked at the data displayed in front of him and reported loudly: "There are still 128 seconds before the target enters the limit gravitational range of Tianshu Star."

"How many more are needed at least?" Annie asked without raising her head while driving the New Shenzhou 2, maintaining a balanced distance from the Star Planter.

"...According to previous calculations, at least two more are needed." Xiaobai quickly replied.

"Where are the mines on the ship?" she asked again.

"There are 12 more. However, there are only 4 space bubbles left, and the rest are pure warheads." Eisen showed a distressed look: "If we look at the success rate..."

"I know, the success rate of that attack just now was too low. Little William, it's all your fault!" Annie laughed.

William Bannapee hummed twice without a smile, and quickly fiddled with the keyboard with his fingers, continuing to adjust the data of the gravity slingshot: "I'll try my best next time. But..."

"But just get closer."

Anne didn't wait for anyone to express any opinions before she pressed the steering wheel and pushed it inward.

Tai'a clearly felt the stalling sensation of falling off a cliff. She knew that just simulating gravity on a small boat would not have this effect. If you think about it carefully, it is possible that it was only affected by the gravity of the star planter's own weight.

She subconsciously looked at the readings of the distance between the two sides displayed on the terminal light screen, and discovered to her surprise that the distance between New Shenzhou 2 and the surface of the Star Planter beast had dropped from more than 10,000 kilometers to less than 1,000.

By this time, nothing could be seen outside the porthole except the bright, eye-catching flames.

Based on the instantaneous speed drop just now, if the captain's hand shook just one millimeter more, wouldn't the entire ship have to hit this giant monster? Thinking of this, even Tai'a, the third generation of the Spiritual Research Society, couldn't help but shudder.

Of course, as the ship approaches again, the heat that needs to be endured has once again increased to an order of magnitude.

Tai'a turned to look at the temperature gauge and was shocked to find that the temperature inside the cabin had exceeded 200 degrees. She could feel that even if her comrades were wearing protective clothing, they would still feel uncomfortable.

...Of course, as a fourth-ring psyker, she was quite happy with it.

"Don't make a mistake this time!" Anne's voice was still clear.

"Bah! The gravity slingshot can be thrown crookedly, which only means that your ship's hull is unstable." Banner said angrily: "Tamir, No. 8 and No. 9, start loading!"

"The Star Planter has shifted again, β12 degrees. There are still 267 seconds left before the extreme gravity range."

"I heard that! Wait, why is there more time?"

"Because it changes the angle."

"So why is that?"

"How the hell do I know, isn't this thing a living thing? What if I want to stretch out?"

Well, since everyone still has time to quarrel, it means they are still in good spirits. Tai'a did not stay any longer, but reached the magazine at the lower level of the cabin as quickly as possible.

She soon saw that Tamir, who was wearing a bulky power work suit, was pushing a mine with a filled warhead onto the slide rail next to it. The automatic mechanism of the slide rail rotated and pulled, sending the mine to the gravity catapult.

The gray young engineer turned around and opened the magazine of the second mine. Just as he was about to stuff the spherical anti-matter warhead inside, he saw Tai'a wearing a heraldic machine.

Then, Tai'a stretched out his hand and pressed it on the warhead, injecting a white light into it.

"This is……"

"Please accept it. This is my last psychic power!" The psychic said solemnly: "It is a sword of blessing. By enchanting the sword with this technique, you will be more likely to hit the enemy's vital points."

"Is this scientific?" Tamir found it difficult to imagine this effect.

"I don't know anything about it. I've never heard of psykers using it before. However, this is the situation anyway. It's just a try, and it won't be troublesome... Well, it shouldn't be troublesome, right? Tai'a couldn't help but ask one more question: "The warhead of the anti-matter torpedo injected with spiritual energy will not detonate this thing instead, right? It will definitely not happen, right?"

Tamir quickly shook his head: "No, no, we are using a second-generation safety lock."

"Okay, then let me do the shooting this time." Tai'a said: "Don't worry, the aiming, proofreading, calculation and other tasks are all yours. It's just me who pulls the trigger at the end. It should be fine. It satisfies the concept of activating the Sword of Blessing.”

Tamir still thought it sounded unscientific. However, it was just the final trigger pull anyway, and it would not affect the subsequent results.

He quickly sent a request to Banner on the bridge, and immediately received an approved feedback. At this point, such trivial issues are no longer worth considering.

Ten seconds later, two blessed mines were sent to orbit. Banner and Tamir have done all the debugging work and are just waiting for the final pull of the trigger.

"Press this, and the mine will automatically enter orbit and then crash into it." Tamir pointed to the red button on the side of the cabin, and then went to work again.

Currently, there are two space bubble generators available in the cabin. If the previous blow did not pose a threat, there would be one last chance to attack.

Tai'a looked at Tamir, who was setting up the anti-matter warhead, and then at the undulating orange-red giant outside the porthole, as well as the star beating with white light on the far side. At this moment, the star was already hanging in a corner of the deep sky. At first glance, it looked like an overly bright and overly colorful moon.

She knew that she had arrived very close to the hub star of that day. If it weren't for the fact that the outside of the ship was covered with a layer of fluid armor, and the portholes looked like transparent glass, they were actually reactive armor prepared for strong light exposure. Even with his extraordinary physique as a psyker, looking directly at the sun would not be possible. It was enough to make him lose all his eyesight in an instant.

"Indeed... you really have no sense of ceremony at all!" Taia laughed.

Uh, well, I can't tap dance. How about I dance a snow-praying dance that is characteristic of our gray people? Tamir wanted to say this, but in the end he still didn't dare to speak.

Just as Tamir installed the last two mines, new prompts were also sent to the ship. He looked at the image on the terminal screen in amazement. The No. 5 and No. 6 bombs that had escaped from the magazine were swiftly shuttled through the undulating sea of ​​orange-red light, like unyielding petrels.

After a few seconds, they naturally got into the orange-red halo, as if they had really fallen into a deep sea, and soon they could no longer be seen.

He wanted to wipe his eyes, but then he realized that he was still wearing a power suit. He could only suppress the excitement in his heart and reported the latest situation to the bridge: "The space bubble generators of No. 5 and No. 6 bombs Turned on, no space neutralization occurred, and successfully broke through the body surface of the star planter. I repeat, successfully broke through the body surface of the star planter!"

"Ah, is this done?" Tai'a said in disbelief, with an attitude of "This is okay, it's too peaceful".

You can't let me accompany you again, can you? Just as Tamir was about to say this, he heard Banner's voice: "Very good, Tamir, turn on the autonomous gliders of all warheads and prepare to drop bombs autonomously."

"Let me help too," Tai'a said.

Just when the two of them took out all the anti-matter bombs piled in the warehouse, kitchen, bathroom and bath, they suddenly felt a bump under their feet.

This should be because the hull of the ship was affected by the sudden change of gravity of the Star Planter.

Tai'a looked out the window and suddenly discovered that the orange-red "huge waves" undulating like towering mountains had become particularly violent at this time. If it was just a calm sea wave just now, it suddenly turned into a stormy wave that could overturn a large cargo ship.

Under such circumstances, even a crazy girl from the Stormtrooper Clan like Captain Anne did not dare to continue the wave and hurriedly raised the height of the New Shenzhou 2.

"Height 5000. Relative speed 1." Banner said: "The shield power is 19%."

"The fluid armor is damaged. The second emerald steel armor is heating up." Eisen also reported.

It's all bad news. Miss Romanova thought, my attack was obviously successful.

Fortunately, there is not no good news. Eisen quickly said: "The implosion was successful! The implosion was successful! The gravitational balance of the Star Planter was disrupted."

Everyone quickly understood that the sudden heat wave and shock wave just now could be regarded as the "trauma reaction" of the star planter in a sense.

"Is this enough to kill it?" Banner shouted.

"Of course it's impossible! For the mass of this thing, the power of three anti-matter bombs is at best like being bitten by a mosquito. Eisen shook his head and said: "The one that can kill it is the Tianshu star. "

"There are still 142 seconds before the limit of gravity." Xiaobai reported the most important real-time information: "However, the current gravitational balance of the Star Planter is only in chaos, not completely unbalanced."

"To be on the safe side, we'd better drop all the bombs in the cabin into the belly of the Star Planter, right?" Annie said loudly: "This scene is already included in the tactical plan, but isn't this an alternative? ?”

Xiaobai nodded solemnly and said: "There are still 107 seconds before the limit of gravity."

"Hahaha, it's here anyway. As a bomber, if you don't dump all the bombs in your belly before returning, you always feel like there's something wrong." Banner laughed.

The key is that there are only two space bubbles left. There are still more than a dozen bombs, where should they be dropped?

At this moment, Tai'a's voice sounded on the bridge: "Captain, I will lead the way this time. The coordinates are..."

"XL1241, FG6778." Tamir added: "There is an energy leakage point near here."

Tai'a wasn't very good at reading tactical star maps, so she could only draw on the holographic projection with her hands. Fortunately, there was a big tech guy next to her to help her translate.

Eisen quickly adjusted the monitor, and sure enough, he saw a brighter pattern on the star planter's surface temperature projection. At first glance, it looks like a shocking whirlpool has been formed on the orange-red ocean of light.
