I was exposed for mining on Mars

Just before Blue Star strictly ordered any hackers to invade the shielding extender in outer orbit, and when Thomas and others had just asked their men to test the extender, Luo Xiu also received a notification from the Mars orbital platform.

‘You’re quite brave. ’

Even Luo Xiu himself did not expect that Blue Star humans would dare to provoke a civilization that was far superior to them.

If sending a spacecraft to Mars is still for communication, this kind of data intrusion is a bit too risky.

"Mastermind, shorten the countdown and lengthen the shielding time."

After Luo Xiu gave the order, the base control system directly reduced the original 60-second countdown to 3 seconds, while the shielding time was doubled, from 6 hours to 12 hours.

Facts have proved that Luo Xiu's choice was very correct. After blocking an area for 12 hours, Blue Star humans no longer dared to make any more provocative moves.

After issuing the order to extend the shielding, Luo Xiu no longer paid attention to Blue Star's affairs.

Blocking a designated area is simply a trivial matter for Luo Xiu. If it wasn't the first time such an incident happened, Luo Xiu wouldn't even pay attention.

Luo Xiu's most important thing now is the production of battleships.

At this time, on the other side of the original orbital dock, a new orbital dock has been constructed. After the automatic equipment is installed, production can begin.

At this time, what Luo Xiu was about to check was the test ship that had installed its weapon system and was preparing to go to the asteroid belt for testing.

Since it was a test ship, its appearance was not considered too much. Several weapon systems were hung on the flat hull on both sides of the central cylinder.

From kinetic energy weapons to particle beam weapons, from unmanned strike platforms to mine-laying equipment, it can be said that this small test ship has been armed like a hedgehog.

"How about the transformation of the Zhurong?" Luo Xiu asked the base control system as he rushed to the berth of the test ship.

"The transformation has been completed and the test ship unmanned strike platform has been landed."

With the reply from the base control system, the hatch of the unmanned strike platform on the side of the forward test ship facing Luo Xiu also opened, revealing a variety of unmanned strike equipment inside.

This type of unmanned strike equipment is more maneuverable than kinetic energy weapons and particle beam weapons, and also reduces the mothership's attack blind spot.

Among the group of unmanned strike equipment was the Zhurong, which was shot up from the surface of Mars by an electromagnetic railgun.

Although the Zhurong has completed its transformation at this time, its general appearance is still like a spider, except that it is equipped with a micro-beam weapon on the top of its fuselage and space mines on both sides for blocking the waterway.

Simply put, the main function of the Zhurong is to lay space mines at locations where the enemy may pass by to block the opponent's route or consume the opponent's time.

"Then let's get started."

After seeing that the Zhurong had boarded the ship, Luo Xiu also floated into the spacecraft from the hatch behind the unmanned strike platform.

Although the test ship is smaller than the Xia Yu-class battleship, it is already very large for humans.

50% of the ship's hull, measured in kilometers, is occupied by nuclear fuel and nuclear fusion engines. But even so, the remaining area is already very wide.

If there wasn't a special transmission device and Luo Xiu just floated, it would have taken a lot of time to get from the hatch to the bridge.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the test ship's shipboard control system is at your service."

"The hatch is closed."

"Prepare to head to the asteroid belt."

"starting."

When Luo Xiu sat down at the main seat of the bridge, various data of the spacecraft began to appear on the screen in front of the bridge.

Compared with the control system of Luo Xiu's own reconnaissance ship, the shipboard control system of this newly developed spacecraft appears to be more mechanical and rigid, but it is still sufficient for the control of a single spacecraft.

With the drive of the nuclear fusion engine, the test ship began to leave the orbital platform and drive towards the asteroid belt.

In fact, traveling from Mars to the asteroid belt is much closer than traveling to Earth.

And because the asteroid belt is extremely wide, Luo Xiu doesn't need to choose a special place, he just needs to dive in head first.

At this time, because the test ship had reached three thousandths of the speed of light, it took less than a day to reach the asteroid belt from the orbital platform of Mars to the asteroid belt filled with more than 500,000 asteroids.

The journey to the asteroid belt originates primarily from a group of planetesimals in the primordial solar nebula, a precursor to asteroids. Due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter, these planetesimals are prevented from forming planets, causing many planetesimals to collide with each other and form many debris and debris.

It was precisely because of Jupiter's obstruction that this asteroid belt was finally formed.

Although this area should be imagined to exist like a no-fly zone, in fact, the material in this area is extremely thin, and the asteroids in it are extremely small, and some are even like dust.

The largest asteroid that has been observed is the dwarf planet Ceres, but its diameter is only 950 kilometers.

"Okay, this is it."

When the test ship entered the asteroid belt, Luo Xiu stopped it.

After all, the purpose of Luo Xiu's trip was not to cross the asteroid belt, but to conduct weapons tests here.

"First release the unmanned strike equipment." After the test ship turned on the magnetic field to slow down, Luo Xiu was ready to start the test directly.

When Luo Xiu finished speaking, the unmanned strike platforms around the test ship opened their hatches and released thousands of drones.

Except for the Zhurong, the other aircraft are about fifty meters long and are flat in shape. They are equipped with energy beam weapons on both sides of the fuselage. Like the Zhurong, the upper and lower parts of the fuselage carry a large number of space mines.

After these drones jumped out of the hatch, they immediately spread out in all directions and quickly occupied a large space with the test ship as the center under the guidance of the ship's control system.

In front of the test ship, the Zhurong, which was incompatible with the surrounding drones, took the lead in activating the particle beam on its head.

The electromagnetically compressed Mega Particles were instantly liberated from here. Converting potential energy into speed, it rushed straight ahead with violent energy to an asteroid with a diameter of 300 meters, smashing it into pieces. .

"Very good, please send this footage to Blue Star."

"Let them know the consequences of continued provocation."

Although Luo Xiu had doubled the shielding time of the NS Space Center area before, Luo Xiu felt that in addition to shielding, the group of 'children of destiny' had to see something else.

"Okay, Your Excellency Commander, the picture has been transmitted to the Mars base and is being transferred to Blue Star."

Starting point is 1,000 monthly tickets plus additional updates
