Collapse, surrender to me!

Luo Ji was not actually worried about Grayxiu.

He was just simply curious.

"No breathing, the universe has no atmosphere."

Grace looked at Luo Ji as if he were a fool, her eyes seemed to be asking how a professor could ask such an elementary school question.

Having said that, Grayshu shut up.

His chest, which had been calm to begin with, suddenly became even calmer.

"I don't need oxygen anymore. To survive in the universe, all I need is some sun."

"Bathe in the sun. Are you a plant? You can photosynthesize."

"It can be."

"..." Luo Ji looked at Grace's serious expression and suddenly became speechless.

As if she could see what Luo Ji was thinking, Grace comforted him.

"It's okay. After you become a magical girl, you can survive without breathing. All you need then is magic power."

"Magic power... I don't think it mentioned sunbathing, it's all about replenishing body fluids?"

A bunch of random things suddenly appeared in Luo Ji's mind.

The unique magical girl setting from two centuries ago is attacking his memory.

Compared to Luo Ji who still had the time to think about these things, Zhang Beihai was always keeping an eye on the ship-borne radar.

Judging from the range where those micro-satellites disappeared, their distance from the Three-Body Star Fleet was gradually approaching 10 million kilometers.

It sounds far away, but in the space war simulated on Earth, this distance is already within a certain precise range.

This is also the reason why Earth throws so many micro satellites.

In this case, it will be impossible to collect intelligence in three-dimensional outer space by relying on the detection capabilities of a single spacecraft.

Therefore, the existence of a large number of detection satellites is necessary.

Gradually, when the first wave of detection satellites five million kilometers away disappeared inexplicably again, the command center issued orders without hesitation.

At the same time, nearly 20 million laser spots lit up on 2,000 space battleships.

Every spot of light is a laser gun.

This was originally the defense system of the Earth Fleet.

Because there was no energy shield before, the fleet was equipped with laser defense systems. The so-called laser defense system uses a large number of laser guns installed on the spacecraft to form a laser defense line to intercept enemy micro-missiles and other weapons.

But I didn't expect that this defense system has now become a means of detecting the Three-Body Stealth Fleet.

The silence of the universe was broken at this moment by huge firepower. On two thousand space battleships, nearly 20 million laser guns lit up at the same time, turning the surface of the battleships into a sea of ​​light.

Once a shield of defense, now a sword of offense, the defense network composed of these laser guns was originally used to intercept micro-missiles and other impurities, but now it has become a scout to detect the Three-Body Stealth Fleet hidden in the vast interstellar space.

The laser catalysts were all activated, and various light beams formed a dazzling network like the Milky Way.

They turned the instructions into reality and scanned across the boundless void.

Rays of light rushed like streams of stars, dancing in crisscrossing patterns in the universe, searching for any trace of the enemy.

The darkness ahead suddenly became bright under the exploration of these 20 million rays of light.

Every beam of light searches in the darkness, not missing any trace of abnormality, trying to drag the enemy hidden in the interstellar space out of the darkness.

Under this scan, the Trisolaran fleet removed its stealth camouflage.

In other words, they had no intention of covering up, and even their route did not change.

The speed of the laser was so fast that even the Trisolaran warships could not avoid it, but it was of little effect. The dense laser net hit the spacecraft, but only caused a layer of ripples, which were blocked by the energy shield.

At this time, everyone discovered that the structure of the Trisolaran spaceship was much sharper than that of the Earth's spaceship, and its size was also smaller.

This type of spacecraft actually does not conform to mechanics.

Most of the spaceships in movies and legendary UFOs adopt a butterfly-shaped or circular structure. This is because it allows the spaceship hull to be evenly stressed and will not be destroyed by powerful overloads.

Just by looking at the appearance of the Trisolaran spaceship, one can tell that it is made of tougher materials and has a more stress-bearing structure design.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they may still be full of confidence in the Earth fleet.

But at this time, scientists such as Ding Yi at the alliance headquarters were lowering the chances of winning.

Up to now, even though the Trisolaran fleet has done nothing but drive its warships over, it has already made the former Earth civilization see no hope.

"But... the other party is too arrogant."

Ding Yi said.

"They could have spent some time avoiding detection satellites and laser coverage and drove all the way to Earth in stealth. But they didn't, and instead arrogantly flexed their muscles."

The previous Earthlings committed the sin of arrogance.

The same is true for the Trisolarans now.

"Then let's see how big the gap is."

The chairman of the alliance said in a deep voice.

"Follow the plan, fire!"

The attack methods of Earth battleships are not the energy cannons seen in science fiction movies.

It is the electromagnetic gun mentioned before, which is a kinetic weapon.

Following the commander's order, the tense bodies of the warriors on the Earth Fleet instantly released swift and precise actions.

The lightning-fast activation sound of the electromagnetic cannon became the first chapter of the exciting symphony of this interstellar war.

"Fire!" Zhang Beihai's voice was stern, and then tens of thousands of electromagnetic cannons on the entire spacecraft gathered energy at the same moment. The electromagnetic coil inside the launch cabin began to charge, and the superconducting material transmitted powerful electric current with almost no loss.

Under the surging supply from the nuclear reactor, the force lines of the magnetic field focused instantly, and waves of imperceptible vibrations accompanied by the growth of energy made the crew members excited.

Although the projectiles loaded in each electromagnetic cannon look similar to ordinary bullets on Earth, their contents are far from ordinary.

These electromagnetic cannon projectiles are made of high-density materials to ensure that they can withstand extreme conditions in outer space. Experimental data show that the mass of a standard projectile is about 0.02 kilograms.

The acceleration process of the projectile in the electromagnetic gun takes almost only a moment. The electromagnetic gun adopts the principle of linear motor. The direct action of magnetic field force enables the projectile to move from a static state to a high-speed motion state, and this speed is by no means comparable to conventional firearms on Earth.

The initial velocity of the projectile fired from the muzzle reached an astonishing level.

At the same time, with each charging and discharging of the electromagnetic coil, the launch tube that runs through the inside and outside of the spacecraft ejects incandescent plasma, and the projectiles that spew out violently turn into meteors in the starry sky.

These high-speed projectiles are not affected by air resistance and gravity in space, and continue to maintain their deadly kinetic energy. They are like arrows of death on their long orbits. If the target happens to be on their trajectory, it will be a blow with extremely destructive power.

Thanks to the extremely high kinetic energy generated by countless high initial velocity projectiles, even tiny projectiles can release huge amounts of energy during impact, destroying the shields, armor and even internal structures of enemy ships, turning them into sieves in an instant.

At this moment, tens of millions of electromagnetic cannons in the entire fleet were firing almost synchronously, with each gun firing hundreds of projectiles per second. Multiply that by 20 million, and the shells fired by the entire fleet instantly formed a steel rain curtain that shuttled through the interstellar space!

Chapter 361: The sword-wielder across space, Luo Ji!

The steel rain curtain swept towards the Three-Body Fleet like an overwhelming force.

Almost instantly.

But something happened that surprised everyone.

This purely kinetic energy shell will not change its trajectory in theory.

But now, these rain-like projectiles strangely deviated as they approached the Three-Body Fleet.

The space around the Three-Body Star Fleet began to distort subtly, and the originally straight trajectory of the projectiles was no longer a linear extension. Every metal shell was inexplicably pulled at the moment it approached the Three-Body Fleet, as if it had hit an invisible surface of water, and its trajectory was quietly changed inadvertently.

The electromagnetic shells were no longer as ferocious as they were at the beginning. It seemed as if there were some invisible fingers in the universe, which lightly touched the shells, causing them to deviate from their original trajectory heading straight for the target. They seemed to be tamed by a mysterious and powerful force, avoiding the Three-Body fleet and flying towards the depths of the vast universe.

From the perspective of the Earth Fleet, all this seemed like a miracle.

Like petals scattered in the wind, those metal projectiles that should have been able to pierce everything in the universe changed their trajectories just before hitting the target, and slowly circled around the Trisolaran ships without making any substantial contact.

This moment was not only a victory for the Three-Body Fleet in physical space, but also a comprehensive suppression of the Earth Fleet in the psychological battlefield.

"We have been guessing what type of shield the Trisolaran fleet uses, but we didn't expect it to be this type."

The Earth headquarters saw the scene at the front line and resumed the discussion after a period of silence.

Not an energy shield, but a gravity shield.

It is able to produce precise gravitational distortions in a specific region of space and time.

Just like what is happening on the battlefield today, with the activation of the gravity shield, the projected weapons seem to have crashed into an invisible concave surface. At the moment they are about to touch the hull, they suddenly change their trajectory, like a river encountering a rock and being forced to take a detour.

The Three-Body Fleet seemed to be in a distorted bubble, and the curvature of the surrounding space repelled all approaching objects.

"Based on the observation of the enemy ship after magnification, the gravity shield of the Trisolarans is not formed in one piece, and they do not have such advanced technology. Instead, it is composed of a series of generators distributed on the surface of the ship. These generators are also called gravity field emission nodes.

Each node contains a complex mechanical and energy core capable of controlling gravity at the atomic scale. The nodes are interconnected through a highly synchronized network that precisely coordinates to produce a continuous, unified gravitational field.

Ding Yi said after careful observation.

"When the defense system is activated, each node releases gravitational waves of a specific frequency and phase, which converge around the ship to form a dynamic gravitational layer. This layer of gravity can adjust its strength and direction as needed, creating a protective shield similar to the Earth's atmosphere, but more advanced and flexible.

Matter passing through the gravitational barrier it creates will be deflected and bent according to the predetermined effect.”

This type of gravity shield, which relies on node networking, has a huge demand for energy. Timely maintenance and energy replenishment are essential for this type of shield. If the energy supply is interrupted or the generator is damaged, the shield will be difficult to maintain and the protection effect will be greatly reduced.

Theoretically, it cannot withstand high-power energy cannons, such as the main gun of a Star Destroyer.

In this case, it is easy for individual nodes to become overloaded or fail, leading to a cascading crash.

However, it is almost impossible to break through the defense of Earth's current kinetic weapons, sonic weapons, and laser weapons.

So, when everyone discovered this, Earth's winning rate had almost dropped to 0.

At the same time, the Three-Body Fleet finally launched the first wave of attack.

The gravity shield that seemed to wrap the spacecraft like a bubble disappeared, but the light of the gravity generating device nodes did not go out, but the protective power was transformed into an attack.

The tranquility of the universe was suddenly broken, and the warships of the Trisolarian Fleet launched an attack. They were as thin as needles, but they contained the energy to tear apart the stars. Invisible beams of light shuttled through the void, almost silently - but their purpose was destruction.

The Earth's warships passively activated their shields almost instantly.

But there was one ship that didn't have one. This battleship had no shield module and no one on it.

Almost instantly, as an unknown wave swept past, it felt some unusual vibrations. The hull began to shake along an invisible line, and then these shakes were transmitted along the hull at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This ship itself is used to collect data.

"According to the conclusion drawn by the ship's monitoring system," a scientist's voice suddenly rose, revealing a tense atmosphere, "We are under... an unknown attack... The structural integrity is declining!"

Inside the ship, its once-indestructible armor began to crack slightly and a sharp tearing sound was heard.

"The opponent's weapon is a gravitational wave ripper!"

This is where high-frequency, high-energy gravitational waves are sent precisely into range of a target ship. As these waves propagate through space, they can operate by altering the geometry of the fabric of spacetime.

When these waves are concentrated in a small area, they can create powerful tidal forces.

The gravitational wave tidal force generated by it will produce great stress on the atomic bonds of the target object. This may cause damage to the atomic and molecular structure of the material, leading to the destruction of the structural integrity of the target object.

At the same time, the area under attack will experience huge mechanical tension between different parts, as part of the hull is compressed and another part is stretched due to the curvature of space-time.

Such stresses exceed the design tensile strength limit of the structural material, and the result is often fatal cracking and fracture.

The ravages of gravitational waves were like invisible swords in space, tearing apart the stable atomic connections beneath the precision machinery and elegant exterior. Different parts of the ship were pulled differently in different curvatures of space and time, and the internal structure was twisted and broken due to the deformation of space itself.

If there were any passengers, they would feel this almost abstract fear - their bodies and perceptions still existed in reality, but everything around them seemed to be gradually disintegrating. The steel barriers collapsed, the circuit boards sparked, and the light was distorted by the weakened gravity field, causing visual dislocation and hallucinations.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The ship spasmed and twisted like a dying fish, then lost power and gradually came to a stop in the void.

It was a silent catastrophe.

All weapons were reduced to waste. This huge ship that once traversed space was now just a twisted mass of iron, slowly disintegrating in the vortex of space and time created by the gravitational wave rippers.

Without the energy shield, other Earth fleets would face the same consequences.

"…Why are you looking at me?"

Luo Ji was originally immersed in the scene created by the attack of the Samsung fleet, but he soon discovered that the people on the ship and even the top leaders of the Earth Headquarters were watching him through communications.

"After resisting this wave of tearing attacks, the energy shield of the Earth Star Fleet only has 60% of its energy left. If the Trisolarans come two more times, we will all become dead fish in the sea of ​​stars."

The chairman of the Earth Star Alliance coughed twice.

A subtle reminder,
