Sometimes, the stupidity of the enemy is beyond imagination. Countless historical facts have proved that the two words "leadership" and "smartness" do not have a strong mutual relationship. On the contrary, the word "butt" has more relationship.

Because the butt determines the head, Chu Fei is now facing such a stupid thing, that is, the "counterattack" of Xianyun Star.

However, Chu Fei and others took the remaining warships to use the gravity of the sun to accelerate and bypass the sun. When they were ten days away from Xianyun Star, Xianyun Star "counterattacked".

The battle in space is dangerous and boring. Everyone attacks each other across millions of kilometers or even tens of millions of kilometers. There are no gorgeous effects in the movie-except for the scenes when the spacecraft is damaged, and the attacks of particle cannons/plasma cannons.

But long-range attacks are usually lasers and electromagnetic cannons. There is not enough air and dust in space, so there is no Tyndall effect, and lasers cannot be seen. The physical projectiles fired by electromagnetic cannons do not emit light, are small in size and fast in speed, and are difficult to detect.

Because there are no gorgeous effects, the attacks are almost invisible, and the danger is increased to the limit.

He had almost no idea whether he was being targeted, locked, or attacked.

This was not like the ground, where radar could lock on. The distance was over a million kilometers, and light took three seconds, and the spacecraft was so fast that he didn't know where it flew after three seconds.

The entire space battle process was "high-tech blind shooting", and the result of the hit depended on luck, and whether he could be hit also depended on luck.

The reason why it was "high-tech" blind shooting was that high-tech calculations were required throughout the entire battle process. But due to practical reasons, the entire attack process was blind shooting.

In short, because of this special combat environment, Chu Fei prepared to dodge and attack in advance.

But less than three minutes after Chu Fei launched the attack, another fleet... well... should be said to be a "fleet" set off.

Hundreds of large and small spaceships appeared from the other side of the planet. Because they borrowed the planet to block, Chu Fei did not discover it in the first time, and at this time the fleet had completed acceleration. From this point of view, the opponent's commander was still a smart man.

But what are so many spaceships for?

Then Chu Fei saw this huge and bloated fleet entering a huge ring one after another. According to the proportions and calculations of the planets, the diameter of this ring can reach hundreds of kilometers. It is located between Xianyun Star and the satellite "Red Moon", making full use of the interstellar gravity to maintain balance.

A large number of spacecraft entered the ring, but did not emerge from the other side.

Chu Fei watched silently through the astronomical telescope for a while, and exclaimed: "Is this the gravitational string channel? It's incredible."

The Holy Spirit master next to him was also stunned. The former Holy Spirit, or the former Salon civilization, was only one step away from the real interstellar civilization. And now, the Holy Spirit saw this key technology.

Wang Bing said with emotion: "The gravitational string is the 'meridian' of the Milky Way. Here the speed limit of light is broken, and the spacecraft can accelerate all the time, and the mass will not increase due to the increase in speed.

However, are these people stupid? They use the gravitational string channel to escape when facing a powerful enemy. Is this rushing to death?"

Wang Bing's words behind can be said to have spoken Chu Fei's voice, which is why Chu Fei thinks the other party is stupid.

In the Sun Exploration Engineering Fleet, Chu Fei had come into contact with the technical theory of the gravitational string channel: once the entrance or exit of the gravitational string channel collapses, it will cause the gravitational string to swing or fling, and in extreme cases it will even cause the gravitational string to collapse.

You can imagine the scene of a suspension bridge after one end falls off. Of course, the suspension cable (gravitational string) is still there, and the fleet can continue to move forward, but the danger inside the gravitational string is beyond imagination. Of course, it is also possible that the suspension cable (gravitational string) breaks due to excessive burden.

The technical theory of the gravitational string channel is as follows:

Just like rivers in nature, there are also "gravitational rivers" in the interstellar. This kind of gravitational river is actually a "super-dimensional channel" folded up by nature (interstellar gravity).

Taking the river as an example, you can see "gullies" in the flow of the river. Some gullies are deeper and will instantly roll up into a small channel.

Of course, because the river water changes, the existence of this channel is very short.

But in the interstellar, this situation is relatively stable. And gravity naturally has super-dimensional properties-there is a theory that gravity is a projection of high-dimensional power.

When the "gully" of gravity rolls up, a special state appears - folding, super-dimensional folding! This is the protein folding and super-dimensional folding theory that Chu Fei had previously studied crazily, and from this he launched the mathematical tool of "supermanifold".

Supermanifold was recently introduced. The former Yanhuang Federation did not have supermanifold, but still used other technical means and mathematical theories to study gravitational strings.

Without efficient tools, inefficient tools are equally effective, and the worst thing is to do more calculations.

The former Yanhuang civilization could rely on abacus to study nuclear bombs, so what's the point of studying gravitational strings now? Not only did they study gravitational strings, but they also studied many "by-products", such as secret realms and portable storage space - folded space.

Chu Fei didn't understand before why storage space technology should be called folded space. Now Chu Fei understands, because folding technology is really used.

Okay, let's talk about the situation of gravitational string channels.

There are rivers of gravity in nature - gravitational strings, so humans just need to enter gravitational strings.

Although the gravitational string is a "string" and sounds very thin, that is for the universe. For humans, it is wider than the sea, and there are wandering planets in some places.

Not only wandering planets, but also wandering black holes.

In addition, there is tremendous energy and a large amount of matter inside the gravitational string, and there may be some super life forms here.

It is still very dangerous inside the gravitational string, so it is not so easy to develop the gravitational string and establish an entrance and exit.

If you want to open the entrance and exit of the gravitational string, you must rely on the gravity of the planet - only a large enough gravity can break the gravitational string, open the channel, and merge the gravity of the gravitational string with the gravity of the planet to establish a gravitational string channel.

The relationship between the planet and the gravitational string is just like the relationship between the tower and the iron cable on the suspension bridge cableway.

Once the gravitational string (steel cable) on one side is unfastened, the gravitational string will swing. At this time, the aircraft entering the gravitational string is like a submarine in a tsunami, which is infinitely dangerous.

In fact, the gravitational string channel that has just been established is very calm. But the starry sky is not calm, and the planets are also moving, so the gravitational string channel after construction will quickly accumulate stress. Once it is disconnected, these stresses will explode instantly.

The longer the gravitational string channel exists, the more stress it accumulates - or reaches a new equilibrium point. At present, this channel has existed for at least thousands of years. Once the gravitational string collapses, the steel inside can be torn apart.

This thing is like building a dam to block the river. During the construction of the dam, as long as the process and design are reasonable, it will be relatively calm; but after the dam is built and water begins to be stored, the pressure that the dam has to bear is beyond imagination. At this time, the collapse of the dam will definitely cause a flood of thousands of miles.

Therefore, entering the gravitational string channel to escape in this critical situation is like taking an elevator during a fire, fearing that you are not dangerous enough.

In addition, the spacecraft does not arrive instantly when entering the gravitational string channel. This is a gravitational string channel, not a wormhole, let alone a teleportation array.

The biggest feature of the gravitational string channel is that there is no limit on the speed of light; the mass will not increase with the square of the speed.

Entering the gravitational string channel, you can continue to accelerate, up to ten times the speed of light, and a hundred times the speed of light.

Because you can continue to accelerate, you can achieve superluminal movement, and a distance of more than ten light years can be reached in a few months.

But if it is inside a star system, the movement between two close planets, the gravitational string channel is not very effective - useful, but not that useful.

It's like taking a plane to a nearby city, and the plane starts to land before it rises to the stratosphere. If you count the time waiting for the plane, it's not as fast as driving a private car.

However, gravitational strings do have some advantages after all. The first is that acceleration does not increase mass, which allows the spacecraft to accelerate crazily.

At the same time, the movement in the gravitational string channel cannot be seen by the outside world, which is equivalent to entering the dimensional space - perhaps this is the only advantage of entering the gravitational string channel in the current state.

But the problem is that Chu Fei estimates that he can only shoot down a dozen spaceships at most when flying in the outside world. If something happens in the gravitational string channel, I'm afraid even Xiaoqiang will not survive.

Could it be that they bet that Chu Fei dare not attack this channel?

Or are they betting that the fleet in front can intercept Chu Fei and others?

While thinking, Chu Fei did not order an attack on the gravitational string channel. The reason for this is not that Chu Fei is kind-hearted, but there are three important considerations.

First, it is the channel itself. Chu Fei is also preparing to disassemble it for research; Chu Fei is very eager for this technology!

Secondly, in the face of disasters, leaders are always allowed to leave first. The people who are leaving now are all leaders; so many leaders will pour into the Dragon and Tiger Stars, and the result will be very exciting.

Chu Fei has seen some war prisoners before, and generally the brave ones will be killed and the timid ones will be released. It is almost the same effect now.

Finally, Chu Fei has to consider people's hearts and public opinion. The role he plays now can actually be regarded as a conqueror, not a "liberation hero". As a conqueror, he is born with many disadvantages; if he does not show bloodlust, he can get a good start.

Chu Fei can be sure that these leaders who leave first will definitely have all kinds of exaggerated statements, but he can prove his innocence by not attacking the gravitational string channel.

There will definitely be many followers at that time, but they are not the people Chu Fei needs, and such people will also be troublesome. The real elites can distinguish between the real and the fake, and these are the ones Chu Fei needs to win over.

Chu Fei finished thinking instantly, commanded the fleet to continue moving forward, and attacked the fleet in the distance at the same time.

But after observing for a while, Chu Fei frowned slightly, "This fleet does not seem to have launched an attack, but is just accelerating!"

After everyone carefully observed, they were stunned.

If the spacecraft attacks, it will inevitably affect the power; especially the recoil of the electromagnetic gun attack is very large, the spacecraft will look like epilepsy, and the speed will drop instantly.

In short, if you draw a curve, the acceleration performance of the spacecraft will be like a wavy line when attacking; if the electromagnetic gun is used, there will be an obvious "trough".

But the acceleration of the fleet in front is uniform, and the power system has no fluctuations, which means that the fleet accelerates continuously without attacking.

Perhaps someone will ask, can't one power system accelerate and the other power system attack?

It is feasible in theory, but it is actually stupid.

Design two power systems, why not use a larger power system?

In aerospace technology, "self-weight, specific impulse" and other parameters are very important. Designing two power systems will cause the equipment's self-weight to exceed the standard and the specific impulse to decrease. The final result is that the performance of the spacecraft will decrease, which is even more dangerous.

There is indeed a backup power system on the spacecraft, but it is for emergency use and is usually only one-tenth of the conventional power or even lower. In extreme cases, it can also run in parallel with the main power system, but this backup power system is usually very weak.

In addition, the weapons on the spacecraft are very powerful and the backup power cannot drive them. Refer to the electromagnetic catapult system on the aircraft carrier. When it is started, the power system of the aircraft carrier must be suspended.

In short: by observing the movement, you can basically determine the attack situation of these spacecraft.

Wang Bing frowned slightly, "Is the other party preparing to get close to fight? Isn't this courting death?"

Jiang Guangyuan: "Is it possible that these spaceships have not accelerated to a sufficient speed and are still accelerating?"

Chu Fei shook his head: "The other party is in a defensive operation, and attack is more important than speed; and speed in space is relative, and the other party can move horizontally. It feels more like a missile than a spaceship!"

"Missile?" Wang Bing frowned, "Such a large bomb can cause us huge trouble."

The bombs that people usually use are only three to five meters in diameter. But if a spaceship is transformed into a bomb, it is equivalent to a bomb with a diameter of tens or hundreds of meters. This makes people tremble.

Wang Bing then nodded again, "This possibility is very high, so now we can only intercept it frantically."

Chu Fei: "We also launch bombs. According to the current acceleration situation, we still have three days to meet. There is enough time."

There are production equipment on the spaceship, especially the flagship, which can expedite the production of bombs; there are also some bombs on the spaceship, but they need to be transformed. Just one day later, the other party's "spaceship" was still accelerating, and it was basically confirmed that it was an oversized bomb.

Lasers, electromagnetic guns, etc. began to attack, but they attacked some scattered, irregularly flying targets across millions of kilometers, while their own spacecraft was still in motion, and the hit rate was touching.

After being attacked, one of the "spacecraft" exploded, and the flames of the explosion rushed out of space for thousands of kilometers, and the shock wave range was larger than the planet. Such a crazy scene made Chu Fei's forehead sweat.

Fortunately, hundreds of bombs flew out soon.

These bombs exploded out of thin air one day after they flew out, and countless steel balls and steel fragments were scattered into space.

A large number of fragments were like fishing nets, covering the sky and the earth, and finally more "spaceship bombs" were damaged.

As more bombs flew out and more steel balls covered the void, all the super bombs were finally cleared, three of which exploded, and most of them did not explode; advanced explosives technology is still very stable.

But after such a toss, the area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers around Xianyun Star was covered by various fragments. Flying in this space will be very dangerous. In the future, spacecraft must open the defense shield, barrier and other technologies throughout the journey, or the shell made of hadron materials, ultra-pure iron technology, etc.

However, after such a toss, the "escape fleet" on Xianyun Star has been completely cleared.

Even seeing that Chu Fei did not attack, many hesitant people chose to run away. Chu Fei let these people leave.

When a large number of elites ran away, the remaining people were actually very "clean". These abandoned people had only one choice - surrender.

Nine days later, when the spacecraft began to slow down, several poor old aircraft appeared in space, with welcome slogans:

The brave leader of the resistance army arrived at his loyal Xianyun Star, and the one billion people on Xianyun Star warmly welcomed him. After thousands of years, the breath of freedom finally descended on Xianyun Star again. (End of this chapter)
