The last human in the universe

Chapter 55 Peer Status
After several minutes of communication delay, the command from Sedna finally reached the five interstellar missiles.

The last batch of fuel stored in its last stage immediately began to burn, and a violent and fiery airflow spewed out from behind it again, pushing its forward speed to increase again.

"It has entered the coverage of the deep space planetary defense system!"

At this time, Zhao Changxing believed that if there were no accidents, the five missiles should have appeared on the radar screen of Deep Space Star.Or... Earlier, the people of the deep space civilization might have discovered it.

The reason is very simple, people have no way to ensure that there are no spy satellites of deep space civilization in the interstellar space around Star Sedna at this moment.The previous clearing operations only confirmed that there was no existence in a part of the range.

Even if all the spy satellites have been wiped out, the cleanup itself also means that something big is about to be carried out.If the deep space civilization is not a fool, they should be able to smell some kind of danger omen from this action itself, so as to improve their own defense capabilities.

At this moment, the spy satellites deployed by human civilization around the Deep Space Star sent back relatively clear pictures of five interstellar missiles rushing towards the Deep Space Star.

In that picture, the five bright spots are roughly in the shape of a trapezoid, charging towards the huge planet ahead.

In the combat readiness and defense room of the human government building in Sun City, all the high-ranking civilized officials stood nervously in front of the screen, always paying attention to the latest developments of the situation.

In the vast space, five missiles with long tail flames were like meteors in the sky, like the punishment of the nine heavens, rushing towards the ground below at an incredible speed.At this time, dozens of laser beams are so concentrated that if you don't face it directly, you can't see it at all, and you can't feel its existence. Launched out.

They were chasing the figures of the five missiles, but perhaps because of the precision of the steering gear or the precision of the radar observation, they were always on the last level with this one, and their figures were no longer tall and slender, but rather short and fat. , The round and round missile body is a little bit different, and it is always out of reach.

Occasionally, there was a contact, and because the irradiation time was too short, only a little burnt mark was left on the shell of the missile, but it failed to penetrate it.

After a while, while the laser cannon was still irradiating, countless small-mass projectiles rushed over like a wave at a very high speed.

There are so many of them that they don't have to be very precise.Because they can cover all suspected positions.

An interstellar missile exploded.

This is a chemical fuel detonation, not a hydrogen bomb detonation.The breakaway device on it didn't work.

"Leader, missile number one has been destroyed."

Zhao Changxing nodded: "It's expected."

The violent acceleration still continued.

Sufficiently high speed itself is one of the excellent means to create errors for deep-space radars. Another extremely effective means is the process of accelerating to extremely high speeds.

Because the distance between the two sides is far enough, and the signal traveling at the speed of light also has a non-negligible delay, the target aimed by the electromagnetic gun must have a certain amount of advance.However, the calculation of the advance amount requires a stable speed or acceleration to be calculated accurately.

And the acceleration itself is the destruction of this stability - because the acceleration process cannot be absolutely smooth.This would cause the railguns to miscalculate the lead data, thereby evading their aiming.

This is exactly when the deep-space civilization or the human civilization at the moment puts the last level of acceleration at the moment when it is about to enter the coverage of the defense system of the other planet.

The purpose is to speed up the action itself to increase the probability of breakthrough.

The best way to counter this tactic is to increase the coverage of the electromagnetic gun.As long as I launch enough electromagnetic cannon projectiles and cover a large enough area, I can always hit the incoming enemy.

The relationship between the two parties is that of spear and shield.There is no absolutely sharp spear, and no absolutely tough shield.

Under the overwhelming bombardment of electromagnetic artillery projectiles, the second interstellar missile exploded, leaving a small flash in the lens of the deep space spy satellite.

This flash has a completely different spectral signature than an interstellar missile thruster.In the combat readiness and defense room of the human government building in Sun City, both Zhao Changxing and other officials can easily distinguish.

"Missile number three destroyed."

"The current speed is 28.45 kilometers per second, and the maximum speed is about to be reached. It is estimated that there are still 3 minutes left before the impact."

These 3 minutes are crucial 3 minutes.

Another new picture was sent back.

In this picture, there is a very bright and dazzling light spot.Under the cover of this light spot, the billions of stars in the universe faded together.You can't even see the deep space star itself.

"Nuclear explosion!"

"The damaged device has been triggered! Unfortunately, the explosion point is still 5000 kilometers away from the Deep Space Star, so it basically cannot affect the Deep Space Star."

Every second that passes, the distance between the missile body and the deep space star will be shortened by nearly 30 kilometers.

Time passed quietly in silence.

"Successful release of sub-warheads!"

Everyone is in high spirits.

Unlike the interstellar missiles of the deep space civilization, the warhead of the interstellar missiles launched by human civilization is not a large-yield hydrogen bomb, but more than twenty small and medium-sized ones, each with an equivalent of only 50 tons of TNT. nuke.

Now, the target has changed from one large target to 20 small targets, plus there is a metal foil with a mass of hundreds of kilograms, and the metal foil can cause an effect similar to an interstellar missile on the radar echo , which greatly interferes with the radar scanning effect.

I am afraid that on the radar screen of deep space civilization, there are not only 40 interstellar missile targets, but hundreds of them!

At this point, there is only one step away from the final success.

"If the interstellar missiles launched at us by the deep space civilization also adopted the design of sub-warheads, and if false targets were added to them, we may really have no way to intercept them."

A war committee member said with a little fear.

"I can't figure out why they didn't use this method." Another member said: "Isn't this a very simple matter?"

There's really nothing technical about it.Less investment, higher yield and better results.Logically speaking, there's no reason why they shouldn't be used.

Zhao Changxing smiled and shook his head.

"The inheritance of deep space civilizations is likely to be broken. They probably don't have a database that records all the technical data of the entire civilization like us. But don't be too happy, if we don't destroy them this time, then wait The next time they retaliate against us, they should learn this method. Everyone should be prepared in advance."

Everyone nodded together.

These small nuclear bombs themselves don't have much power-that's why people didn't release them too early, but it doesn't matter, the previous acceleration process has given them a high enough speed.

After the sub-warheads were released and the false targets were released, the overwhelming electromagnetic artillery projectiles obviously became quite chaotic.There are many projectiles all heading towards the direction of the false target, and the pressure on the real target is much less.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the deep space star will be hit.

People's hearts were raised at the same time.

Such a long time of preparation, such a long time of patience and anger, will soon usher in the result.

Can this attack destroy the deep space civilization?What kind of results can be reaped?In the future, how should the policy and development direction of human civilization be determined?

All of this depends on this attack.

At this moment, the spy satellites lurking around the deep space star even directly received the signal from the deep space civilization.These signals were not encrypted or otherwise concealed, but were received directly by spy satellites.This was obviously broadcast directly by the people of the deep space civilization in a panic.

"Emergency! Cover! Cover!"

"Help!"

"Help! Missiles are coming!"

The two surviving interplanetary missiles scattered a total of 40 sub-warheads.Among them, only three were intercepted and destroyed.The remaining 37 pieces all escaped the interception like a net of heaven and earth.

The next moment, they crashed to the ground and hit the target.

They did not deliberately choose targets to attack, but rather had a high degree of randomness.Because people think that as long as they hit the deep space star, they are victorious, and there is no need to pick targets at all.

The next moment, pictures from spy satellites arrived again.People can clearly see that bright flowers are blooming on the vast land of the deep space star.

A total of 37 hydrogen bombs with an equivalent of 50 tons of TNT, as long as they touch the deep space star, no matter where they explode, they are enough to have a violent impact on the entire deep space star.Because deep space stars are too small.

Without further exploration, Zhao Changxing can know what will happen on the deep space star.

The explosion of each sub-warhead will sweep away all man-made or non-man-made objects within a radius of tens of kilometers.The violent shock wave brought by the explosion will sweep across the entire planet, creating strong earthquakes everywhere on the planet.And this earthquake will destroy most of the ground and underground buildings.

Countless Thorins will be sublimated and melted, and even this dwarf planet will have a macroscopic atmosphere for a short time.

Along with the explosion, the radiation pollutants scattered all over the planet will completely destroy the planet's environment.No matter what you want to do next, rebuild civilization or operate on the surface of the planet, you will all be affected by radiation pollution.

This situation was supposed to happen on Sedna.But now, it happened on a deep space star.

Zhao Changxing shook his head lightly.

"Unfortunately, this time, we didn't exterminate them. But it doesn't matter. Even if the ground and underground buildings of the deep space civilization were not completely destroyed, they were almost damaged. If we want to restore them to the current level, under normal circumstances no one It will be impossible to do it in a few decades. Besides... how can we allow them to develop safely?"

Under this retaliation, technological advantages and development advantages have been unshakably established.

Zhao Changxing stood up slowly, and sent a long-edited message to the planet ravaged by hydrogen bombs.

"Dear deep space civilization, hello. As you said, there will be peace between civilizations of equal strength. Before this, our human civilization has passed your test. Now, our civilization has also done to you A small test, you won’t be angry about it? After all, this is the universal code of civilization. But now, it seems that your civilization has not passed our test..."

"On behalf of human civilization, I sincerely wish that your civilization can quickly improve its strength and gain an equal status with our civilization as soon as possible. Before that, according to the universal civilization code you mentioned, your civilization will not be able to compete with us for the time being." Equal status is achieved here."

After sending this message, Zhao Changxing looked at the members of the War Committee and military experts.

"The so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him. Have new interstellar missiles been built?"
