Homo sapiens - Chapter 679 Despair after Survival
More than ten hours later.
Di Rong successively received damage reports from the other two echelons.
At this time, all that was left inside was fatigue and numbness.
In the next three months or so.
The three escape echelons separated from the Six Claw Expedition Fleet were attacked by double neutron shells several times.
Among them, the most unlucky Chinese echelon encountered a large number of double neutron shells fired at the Six Claws escape fleet, and was instantly wiped out.
As for Di Rong’s forward echelon, there are only 7 space battleships left.
There are only 15 space battleships left in the rear echelon.
Among the forward echelons at this time, among the only seven remaining space battleships, Lucky Firong was checking various intelligence.
“We haven’t encountered an enemy attack for more than a month! This means that we may have escaped the enemy’s attack range.”
Vice-captain Ba Zhang asked with some confusion: “Commander! What should we do now?”
Di Rong lamented: “It is impossible to return to the home star. Judging from the enemy’s attack range, the enemy has locked the home star and other fleeing fleets. Now we can only rely on ourselves.”
As for informing the home planet and other fleeing fleets, it is actually of little use.
Because they have now initially figured out the enemy’s weapon, which is a particle weapon that can fly at close to the speed of light.
Even if they have sent an early warning to the home star and other fleeing fleets as soon as possible, it is estimated that when the home star and other fleeing fleets receive the early warning signal, the enemy’s attack will follow closely.
Without super-light communication and super-light navigation technology, it would be difficult to react to attacks from near-light speed weapons.
Now Di Rong can only pray to the gods, but there is nothing he can do about other things.
What’s more, at this time, the forward echelon cannot protect itself.
Because they found that the fuel and supplies they carried had been consumed after continuous emergency acceleration.
If they can maintain their inertial navigation state, they can persist for tens of thousands of Earth years.
How to maintain inertial navigation is simply courting death.
After all, the enemy’s attacks are too targeted. Space battleships that sail inertially are living targets and are too easy to be attacked.
In order to improve safety, they had to change their tracks significantly every once in a while, hoping to avoid the enemy’s lock in this way.
However, constant orbit changes will definitely consume additional fuel and working fluids, which is a fatal problem for the remnants of the forward echelon, which are already resource-strapped.
Even if Di Rong puts 90% of the soldiers into hibernation and reduces other unnecessary consumption, there is still no way to fill the resource deficit.
Di Rong felt very heavy: “If this continues, sooner or later we will perish due to depletion of resources.”
“Commander, why don’t we search along the way to see if we can find a large dark star.” Vice Captain Ba Zhang suggested.
“Dark Star?” Di Rong fell into a dilemma.
Of course it knows that there are some wandering dark stars in the interstellar space.
If you can find a dark star with a radius of more than 10 kilometers, they can be resurrected with full health.
But what makes Di Rong feel embarrassed is the risk of doing so.
Now their forward echelon is being watched by alien civilization. If they stop to mine minerals and replenish supplies, they will definitely have to stay for a while.
Di Rong was worried that during their stay, they would be locked by the enemy and thus annihilated by the enemy.
But if they are not replenished, they will definitely not be able to persist, and sooner or later they will self-destruct due to resource depletion.
Some people may say that we cannot escape at full speed now, and wait until we have escaped far enough before stopping to mine the Dark Star and replenish the warship’s supplies.
Obviously it is an ideal solution.
In reality, interstellar space is not static.
The stardust concentration and dark star density in interstellar space are as difficult to determine as Brownian motion.
It is affected by surrounding planetary systems, objects such as supernovae and black holes.
In some areas of interstellar space, the concentration of stardust and dark stars may be relatively high, and in some places it may be very sparse.
Therefore, when traveling in interstellar space, it is best for a spacecraft to always maintain supplies at more than 70% of the total inventory.
Especially a spaceship in a state of escape may self-destruct if it does not have sufficient material reserves or even does not need to be attacked by the enemy.
Di Rong thought about it for several hours, and finally decided to quickly find Dark Star supplies before escaping at full speed.
After deciding on the plan, the forward echelon also began to search for the surrounding dark stars.
In less than half a month, they found a dark star with a radius of about 19 kilometers, and then the forward echelon began to slow down.
at the same time.
After about four months of sprinting.
The first batch of dual neutron shells that previously hit the Six-Claw Man expedition fleet also began to arrive at the Six-Claw Superstar.
The Heart of Freedom and the Supreme Court, which have already fired the real fire, have not yet noticed the danger coming.
Just when Prince Ang was commanding the fleet, he was preparing to attack the main star of the Heart of Freedom.
Six shrill ultrasonic sirens sounded in his command room.
【alarm! We have received an early warning from the expeditionary force that an alien civilization is about to attack, please be careful to avoid…]
“What?” Prince Ang’s heart tightened, and he quickly reacted: “Enter level one alert immediately…”
But it was too late.
Hundreds of millions of double neutron shells came across from the distant starry sky.
Boom boom boom…
Those planets and space battleships that happened to be facing the direction of the solar system were suddenly hit by hard-to-monitor attacks.
A space battleship was torn in half in an instant.
Dozens of mushroom clouds suddenly rose from the surface of a rocky planet.
Horrible explosion.
A violent shock wave.
The metal structure on the surface of the planet had dozens of huge craters, as if there were a large pockmark.
What is even more terrifying is that the orbits of some small natural satellites have been knocked off course by dual neutron shells.
However, Six Claw Superstar’s goal was too big.
And the double neutron shells fired by the Neptune particle cannon continued to kill them.
explode!
Mushroom cloud!
Shockwave!
The debris of planets and battleships flew together, and the entire six-clawed giant star became a mess.
However, the real end of the Six Claws has not yet come.
Until the first full-load level dual neutron shell hit the balance point of the star core of the six-clawed giant star.
In an instant, the entire six-clawed giant star system began to become unstable.
From the back of the six-clawed giant star, a large amount of hydrogen plasma erupted like a living organism hit by a bullet.
In an instant, a nearby planet was swept away by dense plasma, and the things on the surface of the planet seemed to be swept away by strong winds.
And such blows are not over yet, but are coming continuously.
