Chapter 502: The first battle of space fighters

Just then, the brain seemed to detect something, and a large amount of data appeared crazily on the left screen like a waterfall.

"Your Excellency, Captain, space creatures have been detected, 78.8 million kilometers away from the spacecraft." Zhinao said.

Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, then a surprise emerged.

Nowadays, smart potions have long become an important driving force for human development. However, due to the limited amount of active energy provided by the energy core, the output has not been able to increase.

It can only provide a maximum of two thousand tubes of smart medicine every year. As of a week ago, according to statistics, the total number of people taking smart medicine was only 6,123. This number is really pitiful for the number of scientific researchers who have now reached 300,000. , in Luo Yuan's opinion, it is not enough. Not only that all the people can take the smart medicine, but at least scientific researchers should be able to take it.

It’s not like he hasn’t asked scientists to conduct relevant research on active energy. In fact, this kind of research has already begun during the reconstruction zone period, but this energy is quite mysterious. It seems to be invisible and non-existent in observations, even if It is an energy crystal in the body of advanced mutated organisms. In observations, no trace of it can be found except for organic parts, but paradoxically, it can actually affect life.

Even with humanity's current technological level, there is limited understanding of this energy, let alone artificial acquisition. If we want to expand the production of smart potions immediately, we can only hunt more space creatures at this stage.

Unfortunately, the solar system is so vast. Even with this spacecraft's advanced detection system and its powerful computing and processing capabilities, the thought of finding only a handful of space behemoths in the vast solar system is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, let alone this. There are many stars inside that block the view, which makes it even more difficult to find.

Therefore, for three consecutive years, nothing was discovered.

Unexpectedly, during this first trial voyage, I was lucky enough to find one.

"Where?" Luo Yuan immediately asked eagerly.

"It is located behind Venus, on the side close to the sun!" As Zhinao spoke, a huge Venus immediately occupied the big screen of the virtual reality scene. Not far away, there was a small, imperceptible floating star. Dot, it is almost difficult for people to notice it. If this small dot was not deliberately circled by the intelligent brain, and Venus was also magnified thousands of times, it would be difficult for anyone to pay attention to this black dot, which is smaller than the eye of a needle.

"Make it bigger!"

Before he finished speaking, this small dot had been greatly enlarged by the brain, occupying the entire screen. Because there was the sun behind it, this huge thing had serious backlight, but the picture was quite clear.

Looking at his clumsy body like a marine creature, Luo Yuan felt more and more familiar as he looked at it. This giant beast was not the same space beast he encountered on the moon. Unexpectedly, it had already gone there over the years.

However, Luo Yuan's sigh was not a sigh of relief when an old friend met again, but he was full of malice.

Such space behemoths will not do any good to mankind if they remain wandering in the solar system. Such creatures are completely miracles of life. Their evolutionary trajectories and technological development are completely the same. By analyzing their abilities, especially in terms of energy and force fields, Its application has unparalleled reference significance for the development of science and technology.

In fact, as Bo Xing's technology has been gradually absorbed by humans, some researchers have turned their attention to the mysterious abilities of this extraordinary behemoth, and humans have found the dawn of higher technology.

Therefore, even if it is not for the energy core, all the space behemoths must be killed to avoid leaving them to the subsequent Boxing interstellar spacecraft.

It's just that the space beast is too far away from here. Today is the first trial voyage of the spacecraft. It is too risky to let the spaceship go directly. Moreover, such a low-speed voyage takes too long. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Yes, he asked aloud: "Commander Sun, can the space fighter be dispatched now?"

"Report Captain, five fighter planes have been transported into the modified ejection bay and can be dispatched at any time." A middle-aged man immediately stood up from his seat, saluted, and said loudly.

"Then we all go out and kill the giant beast!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Five of the crew members immediately put on special helmets. This helmet has its own quantum communication. Through the tiny quantum computer in the eyeball, it can directly connect to the space fighter and operate it.

A few seconds later, the aircraft ejection bay on one side of the spacecraft suddenly opened. The next moment, five space fighters were ejected at high speed one after another by the spiral electromagnetic guide rail.

Before starting the engine, the space fighter's muzzle speed had already reached an astonishing three hundred kilometers per second.

Subtracting the current natural speed of the spacecraft of 150 kilometers per second, this means that it accelerated from 0 meters per second to 150 kilometers per second in less than one second during the ejection process. , under the terrible pressure, even a ball of ordinary metal would probably deform, but these fighters had no effect at all.

Soon, these five fighter jets completed ignition one after another. They were like arrows flying off the string, flying towards the depths of distant space. Their speed was getting faster and faster, and they completely disappeared from the screen in the blink of an eye.

The spacecraft drove for more than an hour, and the trial flight was successfully completed as planned.

Luo Yuan and a group of senior executives left the control cabin one after another.

Anyway, the battle between fighter planes and space monsters is a short-term matter. Even if the space fighter planes are moving at full speed at the maximum safe speed of 1,500 kilometers per second, the battle will occur fourteen hours later.

"Can those space fighters defeat the space beasts?" Chen Xinjie, who had been speechless all the way because there were too many senior officials, finally couldn't help but ask when she entered the office.

Since the engineering team went to Earth with great fanfare to collect the corpses of space behemoths, this mysterious and powerful creature has also been unveiled in the eyes of ordinary people. Its amazing size and mysterious abilities once made humans both curious and curious. Fear has been a topic of conversation for a long time.

"You won't know until after the fight!" Luo Yuan sat on the chair and lay down with a relaxed look on his face.

To be honest, he didn't know what the final result would be, but with the mobility of the space fighter, even if it couldn't kill it, it could still escape. The only issue that needed to be considered was how strong its defense was.

Moreover, these five space fighters are no longer the first generation aircraft, but the second generation. The power of its electromagnetic gun alone has increased 1.5 times to 150 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to being supplied by three Three Gorges power stations. able.

Although its warhead is only one kilogram, once fired, its power is not much weaker than a tactical nuclear bomb. What is even more powerful is that it can fire one shot in three seconds.

As for other weapons, they have also been strengthened.

Today's space fighter jets are no longer much weaker than the Bosnian fighter jets.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xinjie stopped disturbing Luo Yuan and left the office swayingly.

Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and began to deal with the mountain of documents.

The countdown to humanity's departure from the solar system has begun. The verification of whether humans have interstellar navigation capabilities and a new round of scientific and technological surveys are also in full swing. Recently, all departments have been busy, and even he doesn't have much time to spare. .
