Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 253 Hope Star Capture Battle
"We must figure out why all unmanned machines will disintegrate as soon as the unmanned machines approach Satan. If we don't solve this problem, we will have no way to start."

"Try it with a gravitational field, maybe you can explore the reason by restraining it."

"Then you need a super gravitational restraint device that can affect the Milky Way..."

"..."

In the vast spiritual space, countless scholars are arguing.

Satan, a taboo name of an evil god originated from the ancient earth era. In the classics of the ancient earth era, this name means the root of all evil.Scholars gave this name to the strange giant snake moving forward in space, which shows the importance in their hearts.

Scholars have tried many times to explore why the unmanned machinery collapsed in an instant, but they couldn't come up with a conclusion.

It is true that their weapons are all powerful, but if they cannot touch the target, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to exert their power.

"Maybe we should send psionic warriors to find out?"

someone suggested.

Prior to this, scholars used unmanned machines to explore the secrets of Satan, but never sent psionic warriors.

Although in this interstellar era, relying on flesh and blood to fight has been eliminated, just like on the battlefield where shells roar, there will still be a group of vigorous, silent special forces with short crossbow daggers and pistols. , On different battlefields, naturally have different role positioning.

Those warriors who have experienced the most cutting-edge genetic adjustments and cultivated powerful spiritual abilities since childhood are the perfect weapons in the minds of all generals.

Their number is extremely rare, and they are often the elite among the elite who will be selected among billions of interstellar humans. All of them are extraordinary fighters who have been honed to the extreme.Even in the Second Republic, whose population is counted in trillions, the total number of psionic warriors is only maintained at around 100 million most of the time.

You must know that the number of star regions of the Second Republic has expanded to more than 50, and each star region often has a range of hundreds of light years and thousands of administrative planets, but these psionic warriors are rare, and the average star region There are only two people, and there will only be one person on every thousand administrative planets.

Such cherished psionic warriors will naturally be used on the battlefield where they are most needed.

But the academic conference quickly rejected the proposal.

Without him, if the psychic warrior went to investigate in person, he would not be able to simply chase behind that ray of light, but should personally contact or even climb on that huge monster.But under the speed of light, the time flow of the giant snake at this moment is actually extremely slow.

Although two galactic years have passed since the appearance of the giant snake, and humans have tried to explore dozens of times, but for the giant snake that is advancing at near light speed, it actually seems to have just set off for a few minutes.

If the psychic warriors were really dispatched, then the academic conference might not wait for the returning psychic warriors until decades or even hundreds of years later.

So……

The president of the 7th Ring World Society stared at the star map model of the Milky Way in front of him.

"The location is set at Hope Star."

The deep voice overwhelmed everything.

……

Hope Star, the first exoplanet colonized by human beings, is located in a galaxy named after the famous colony spacecraft "Farwalker".

Unlike the destroyed Earth and Mars, although it has also experienced wars, it still survived in the end.Today's Star of Hope has become a scenic planet mainly for tourism. There are not many people who settle here, but there are never many interstellar tourists who go to Star of Hope every year.

But in the past two years, a piece of news has spread, which has made the entire planet uneasy. That "star-eating beast" is about to come to the galaxy where Hope Star is located.

Different from the "Satan" named by scholars, the public prefers to call this star-devouring monster "Star Devourer". Judging from its forward direction, the destination of this star devourer is also Hope Star.

The local organization where the Hope Star is located has requested the Second Republic to destroy the Star Devourer countless times to protect the Hope Star, but obviously, the Second Republic is far more interested in studying the Star Devourer than protecting a remote and uninhabited small planet .

And in 20151 of the Galactic Calendar, that is, two years after the discovery of the Star Devourer, the decision of the Second Republic was made.

"... I hope that all the residents of the planet will evacuate the Farwalker galaxy... The Farwalker galaxy will be used as a place to capture the star-eating beast Satan..."

If the judgment of the Second Republic is correct, then the star-eating beast named Satan went to this galaxy 11 light-years away from the solar system in order to be able to prey on the stars of the Farwalker galaxy.So here, the Second Republic can use the stars of the Farwalker galaxy and its powerful gravity well to set up a gravitational trap, restrain the star-eating beast to escape, and finally successfully capture the star-eating beast in this galaxy.

From the perspective of the Second Republic, the idea of ​​exchanging a small galaxy for a unique sample in the entire Milky Way is completely cost-effective.

There are still 9 years until the arrival of the Star Devourer, and the Second Republic will have a lot of time to deploy its defenses here.

"9 years?"

Once again included in this plan, Tiroan, who assisted in the capture of the star devourer, looked into the dark and dead depths of space. Although he couldn't see anything, everyone knew that there was an unprecedented space behemoth there. is coming.

……

The first arrangement is the first gravitational defense line.

The first gravitational defense line has been deployed on the outskirts of the Farwalker galaxy. This gravitational defense line will be the first to weaken the speed of the target and drop it from the state of near light speed.Theoretically, if the effect is perfectly realized, it may weaken the target to 93% of the speed of light.
The next few gravitational defense lines are also based on the same concept. First, slow down this star-sized behemoth, and then use weapons to siege. If the effect is good, the star-eating beast can be directly captured at one time.

Traps and sieges are the same as how hunters in the ancient earth era dealt with their prey.

"But what if the capture fails?"

Facing the questions of some scholars, the president of the society said calmly.

"Then we have completed the second test and learned about the attack mode and behavior of the target?"

From the perspective of academic conferences, satisfactory results can be achieved no matter what.

As a result, time flies, and 9 years have passed.

……

"There is still one hour before the arrival of the Star Devourer... 50 minutes... 40 minutes..."

On the fully armed spaceship, the spaceship AI is reminding the time from time to time, while Tiloan is staring at the tiny space in front of him.

Unlike the previous remote command, Tiloan can ensure his own safety. Now he is no longer testing the power of the weapon, but is going to meet the giant beast hand-to-hand.Only in the gravitational traps laid out here, can we have a chance to understand why all the unmanned machines will disintegrate in an instant, otherwise the excessive speed will not detect anything at all.

But the danger of approaching the Star Devourer at such a close distance can be imagined.

Tiloan kept recalling the previous tests, trying to find clues from them, but apart from a flash of light every time, no one knew what happened.

"General Thiloan, please rest assured, we will protect your safety."

Beside Tiloan, four unusually tall psionic warriors spoke silently.Powerful psychic energy surged on their bodies, and complex psychic energy circuits flickered on the bare torso to enhance the psychic energy of these warriors.

These psychic warriors have undergone special transformations before they were born.In order to adapt to these complex spiritual energy circuits, every muscle and every structure, from bones to skin, has been specially adjusted to adapt to these spiritual energy circuits.

After being born in the artificial womb, they will undergo 24 standard surgeries to completely imprint the psionic circuits in their bodies. Even if you disassemble their corpses, the bones will clearly show one after another psionic circuits.And this is just the beginning, after that they will go through a series of tempering, often it takes more than 100 years for a qualified psychic warrior to formally form, and the elimination rate is so high, except for a few people from the Second Republic, no one People know the real numbers.

According to past standards, Tiloan is not even eligible for the personal protection of psionic warriors.No matter how high the general's status is, there are hundreds of people in a star area. Only this time, the Second Republic specially arranged for four psionic warriors to protect Tiloan. Thiloan leaves.

On this small Far Traveler galaxy, there are already countless unmanned machines and more than a dozen command spacecraft.

Normally, there might not be a single psychic warrior in a star area, but they can be seen everywhere here. There are more than two hundred generals, assistant officers, and psychic warriors on each command spaceship.

These are not miscellaneous soldiers, all of them are elites cultivated by spending a lot of resources.

Behind these two hundred people, the resources consumed by each person are enough to allow millions of interstellar humans to spend their lives comfortably, and the massive resources poured into these two hundred people.

It is conceivable that the Second Republic has indeed spent a lot of money on this capture operation.

"The target has entered within 1000 million kilometers of the first gravitational defense line, please be prepared..."

Just like the first time I saw it, in the data sent back by the subspace detector, billions of kilometers away, that huge light is passing through space at a speed beyond imagination, and it is almost invisible at the speed of light. There is also only continuously refreshed data in the detector.

100 million kilometers...

[-] kilometers...

The target successfully entered the gravitational defense line.

The invisible gravitational force is slowly dragging the target to slow down its speed, but the speed is still unimaginably fast, as if there is no delay, the light directly broke through the first gravitational defense line.

The second gravitational defense line...

The third gravitational defense line...

The fourth gravitational defense line...

……

The tenth gravitational line of defense...

……

No.20 gravitational defense line...

It wasn't until the target approached near the position of the star that the target's speed dropped significantly, and it was no longer shrouded in a cloud of blurred light, but the outline of the head and body could be vaguely seen.

Just like in the legend, it was indeed a gigantic snake with cold vertical pupils and a huge body that was hard to see in space, and it was flying towards the star at this moment.

As the speed dropped, the detector was finally able to function normally.

body type...

body structure……

spectrum……

Heat energy distribution...

gravitational field...

After 11 galactic years, these basic data that should have been detected long ago were only truly known by the Second Republic after being firmly blocked by the gravitational defense line.With this alone, the first step of information collection, which was once skipped, is considered complete.

"Unify direction, attack!"

In the sound of Tiloan's order, there were countless unmanned machines attacking the huge beast...
