Voyage of the Stars

The Orange Star Civilization leader's worries are not without reason, but no matter how worried he is, at this point, the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired.

The closest distance between the warships of both sides has been shortened to 40 astronomical units, which is equivalent to the distance from Pluto to the sun. It takes about 5.5 hours for light to reach the sun. If it is below the fourth-level civilization, it is considered a long-range strike range. After all, it takes more than five hours for the firepower to arrive after firing a shot.

However, now, the strike speed of the fourth-level civilization is faster. The warp bomb with nearly 40 times the speed of light only takes about 8.2 minutes, and it has entered the strike range of most warp weapons. Even if the hit rate is not high, it can still be started.

Of course, humans did not open fire. After all, the number of warships is limited, and the number of enemy ships to be annihilated is too large. If all are annihilated, the latest warp bombs in human inventory are not enough.

The Orange Star Civilization, which has a large number of warships, does not have such concerns. They directly want to annihilate human warships with firepower coverage.

The Orange Star Civilization, worried that humans had weapons that could destroy both of them, made the final adjustments while carrying out firepower coverage strikes.

Several of their fleets made emergency brakes and directly exited the warp state, but the firepower did not stop. At such a distance, the first thing to be fired was the warp gravity bomb, which is a bomb equipped with an antimatter warhead and a warp engine and an irregular force field generator. Its main function is to cause time and space distortion and chaos to destroy the force field shield of the opponent's warship.

As the saying goes, magic can defeat magic. Warships equipped with force field shields can only be destroyed by force fields.

The name of the gravity bomb contains gravity, but in fact it does not have gravity technology in it. It only affects time and space in the way of a grand unified force field. It is the same principle as the warp engine, but the way it is used is different.

Its function is naturally to destroy force field shields, which can directly deviate the most lethal antimatter weapons.

From this point alone, we can see how the fourth-level civilization has played a variety of force field manipulations developed from the principle of the grand unified force field.

The Orange Star Civilization planned to use gravity bombs to cover the enemy first, and then use antimatter weapons to kill. Of course, at such a distance, all weapons sent out must carry the word "warp".

Millions and millions of gravity bombs were driven by warp engines, as if a rain of shells fell from the sky, and they were fired towards the human fleet.

They were all set to detonate at a certain time, just like the timed fuses of anti-aircraft guns, with different times to ensure that they can cover a larger area of ​​space.

The Orange Star Civilization must also know that when attacking at such a long distance, the human fleet will dodge in advance as long as it can be detected.

This tactic is very effective against densely concentrated fleets, but the human fleet dispersed early, and the hit rate must be greatly reduced.

8.2 minutes passed quickly. When countless fuses reached the set time, one by one, the gravity bombs exploded silently in space. At this moment, this originally calm space and time suddenly rippled like rain hitting banana leaves.

They are all force fields with randomly set parameters, and the ripples produced by the vibration are also chaotic. If they explode directly on the force field shield of the battleship, they will definitely shake the force field shield and make it unstable, causing the force field to lose its stability, thus achieving the purpose of breaking the shield.

The force field shield that loses its stability due to vibration will temporarily lose its shield effect, allowing other weapons to take advantage of the opportunity and attack the battleship.

However, this kind of attack obviously has no effect on humans, because although so many warp gravity bombs are difficult to be detected by tachyon detection due to their large number and small size, it is precisely because of this that this kind of attack is effective, but humans at this time do not rely on tachyon detection.

These 2,994 warships are all manned and equipped with consciousness linking equipment. The path of the bombs was detected halfway after they were just thrown out. All warships predicted the landing point of the bombs and easily avoided them.

However, because the attack distance was still a little far, this kind of dodge was not obvious. The Orange Star Civilization, realizing that its attack had no effect, just thought that humans were too lucky, and happened to escape because of their small number and scattered distribution.

After the first wave of warp gravity bombs were fired, the Orange Star Civilization fleet also used computer calculations to predict the direction of human warships and fired a batch of warp antimatter missiles. However, the first wave of attacks had no effect and failed to break the force field shield. The subsequent antimatter missiles would definitely have no effect.

"Continue to attack, the 7th, 16th, and 28th fleets continue to attack, and the rest of the fleets advance and surround them. I don't want to see any human warship escape, because every warship may be carrying the treasure of the pioneers!"

The leader of the Orange Star Civilization observed the effect of the attack and saw that humans did not fight back, so he was relieved of his worries that humans had some means of mutual destruction.

"Guarantee to complete the mission!"

"No problem, leader!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After the fleet commanders responded one by one, communication signals appeared in the public channel between the Orange Star Civilization and the fleet captains.

"Haha, first come first served. Human civilization has only so many warships. If you are late, there will be no meat to eat!"

"Fuck, the warship in front is ours. Don't fight with me!"

"Haha, get out of here. Your own warship is behind, just watch us harvest!"

"That's right, just rush over and clean up the battlefield and that's it."

"Made, you bastards, the engineers of the 7765th ship, please turn the engine to the maximum and overload it severely. There are more wolves than meat. This time we must get the battle glory!"

Countless warriors who received close combat became excited. They were eager for military success and even more eager to fight, and the spark of destroying enemy ships could make them even more excited.

40 astronomical units, 30 astronomical units, 20, 10, 2, 1.5 astronomical units... As the distance got closer and closer, the various weapons of the Orange Star Civilization roared again.

Gravity bombs, anti-matter bombs, anti-matter warp missiles, and star destroyer cannons all launched attacks.

1.5 astronomical units, which is about the same distance from Mars to the sun. This distance is far away in the era of human earth, but it is very close to today's fourth-level civilization.

It has reached the distance of a battleship for close combat.

1.5 astronomical units, the speed of light takes about 12 minutes, but for a warship with super-light speed and weapons, it only takes a dozen seconds.

This is a battlefield faster than the speed of light.
