Chapter 495 Solar Sail

Chapter 495 Solar Sail

Time passed slowly, and the day passed quickly...

Sea Clan support fleet.

The commanders of the first and second squadrons were discussing the tactical arrangements and contingency measures after arriving at the wormhole battlefield. At this moment, they received a message from the communications officer at the same time.

"Sir, Commander Isar has sent a warning message, asking us to pay close attention to what's behind us!"

"Behind?" Both of them were stunned.

Shortly thereafter, they actually captured an anomalous target from the gravitational radar.

"Sir, an unknown celestial body has been discovered behind the fleet. It is 6 million kilometers away and has a large mass. It is rushing towards us at an astonishing speed. It is estimated that it will contact our fleet in 8 hours!"

Unknown celestial body?Everyone looked suspiciously at the sudden signal on the radar.

"Is it a wandering celestial body?"

"Probably not. We have established a complete monitoring system for the movement of celestial bodies in the Proxima Galaxy. There should be no celestial bodies in this position! Besides, celestial bodies with such speed and mass belong to the third-level danger source and cannot be ignored by us!"

Since it is not a wandering celestial body, then... there seems to be only one truth left!

Unbelievable looks flashed across the eyes of the two squadron commanders...

An hour later, the fleet's optical radar finally captured the target image, and what was displayed in front of everyone was a... big green umbrella? !

Tens of thousands of square kilometers of green umbrellas cover all optical information behind the target, making it impossible for them to see the whole picture of the target.

"Is that it?"

"Although the image has changed a bit, but... it can only be it!"

Serious expressions appeared on the faces of the two commanders.

That biological fortress... actually caught up? !

After being accelerated by the extreme gravitational force of the stars, the Immortal has gained a considerable sailing speed. Not only that, in addition to the original high-power thruster set, Nie Yun also provided the Immortal with an extra thrust.

If the Sea Race Fleet can observe the back of the canopy, they will find that the regrown leaves of the Immortals have been coated with a layer of bright silver, which reflects the light of the stars under the shining of the stars behind them, adding to the longevity of the Immortals. A bit of a dreamlike extraordinary color.

This kind of coating is a mechanical bug total reflection film with only one layer thickness, and the mechanical bug material consumed for this is insignificant, but it has created a side - "Super Solar Sail"!

Light is a photon with no static mass but momentum. When the photon hits a smooth surface, it can change its direction of motion like a ping-pong ball bouncing off a wall and exert a corresponding force on the hitting object. This is the design principle of the solar sail.

The famous astronomer Kepler put forward the hypothesis of solar sails 400 years ago.

And the closer to the star, the stronger the propulsion effect of the solar sail!

In fact, the "Torch" series of energy harvesting devices in the Prometheus project located in the orbit of the sun's stars used the powerful thrust of photons to compete with the huge gravitational force of the stars, thus maintaining its own stable low-orbit operation.

The thrust generated by a single photon is extremely small, but when the area of ​​the solar sail is large enough and the reflection effect of the coating is super strong, the solar sail can allow flying objects to obtain a steady stream of powerful power in space without resistance!

For Captain Nie, who prefers the design of sails, this is a cost-effective and non-propellant propulsion method, which provides an extra 10% acceleration for the immortals, so that they can catch up with the Sea Clan in a short period of time. The two fleets caught up with the latter before converging.

And this naturally greatly exceeded Isael's expectations.

According to her original plan, she let the sea clan fleet stare at the wormhole in the solar system, and freed herself to solve the biological fortress and remove the unstable factors.

But now looking at the situation in the neighboring galaxy, the first and second squadrons of the Sea Clan are on their way to the wormhole battlefield for support. Behind them are the immortals who are constantly chasing after them.

Behind the Immortal is the first and second squadrons of the Yuzu who are chasing after them.

The three are chasing after each other on the same channel, all wanting to gain the strategic initiative, and all mobile forces form a straight pursuit chain...

The wormhole in the solar system and the spaceport on the second planet are undoubtedly the current basic disks of Nie Yun's side and Gemini's side, and they are also strategic points of defense for both sides.

If Nie Yun loses the wormhole, it means being cut off from the back and cut off the reinforcements, while the loss of the spaceport on the Gemini side is basically equivalent to burning the granary and cutting off the logistics.

No matter which side loses its "base camp", the war will basically be won or lost.

According to the current situation, the forces of both sides are advancing towards the wormhole in the solar system. The difference is that Nie Yun is on the defensive, the immortals are on the defensive, and the Gemini Stars have the upper hand and are on the offensive. Wire.

And the current "tower guards" are Nie Yun's mecha corps and... uh, Nie Yun's "Third Feather Squadron"...

Well, ignoring Nie Yun who cheated and "stolen the tower" and the "Silver Revolution" that was quietly erupting inside the spaceport at this time, at least in the eyes of Isael who didn't realize it, his base camp was safe and secure.

But as the attacker, the current situation is really not optimistic, because the opponent's Space Fortress has completed an extremely thrilling small-angle "curve overtaking", and is about to collide with the first and second squadrons of the Sea Clan ahead of time!

Naturally, Isar couldn't just watch the two opposing troops successfully join forces, and immediately ordered the two Sea Race squadrons in front to stop the opponent's biological fortress, preferably annihilating it!

But for this order, the two squadron commanders of the Sea Clan obviously resisted...

"What shall we do now?"

"The appointment of the military department has been issued, and Isar is now the highest officer of the legion. We cannot disobey her orders, we can only carry them out!"

"It's like this again. We charge forward, but they watch the fun from behind. The enemy's biological fortress has unknown fighting power. If we intercept it rashly, if we suffer heavy losses, wouldn't it be for nothing that the guys from the Yu clan picked peaches?"

"Well! We have to guard against it, but we still have to make a gesture. We'll focus on probing first. If things can't be done... then it's not that our army doesn't work hard, but that the enemy is too cunning."

"Haha! Okay, let's do it!"

……

Ten hours passed in a flash, and the distance to the Immortal was finally within range of the Sea Clan fleet!

"Fire!"

The Sea Clan fleet, which was waiting in full battle, immediately launched an attack. More than 40 warships of various types fired a volley, and all kinds of light beams carried the power of destroying heaven and earth and blasted towards the immortals!

Since the big canopy completely covered the long-lived man's body, the Sea Clan's attack line of sight was blocked, and they could only shoot according to the approximate direction judged by the radar, so this wave of attacks was a little scattered.

And the long-lived man, who had been motionless all this time, also moved the next moment the Sea Clan launched an attack!

Its canopy quickly closed, and it quickly transformed from a large open canopy into a sharp, tapered arrow. Then the leaves turned over, and the overall color changed from dark green to bright silver.

The super solar sail designed by Nie Yun can not only be used as a booster, but also can be instantly transformed into a set of mirror-reflective armor!

Due to the rapid reduction of the attack cross section, a large number of attacks by the sea clan fleet failed, and only less than 10% of the attacks hit the immortals.

All kinds of rays pierced through layers of protective blades, but were weakened layer by layer. After piercing through more than a dozen layers of protection, they were finally blocked!

However, several heavy force field rays with stronger penetrating power did not enter the body of the immortal, but because of the cover of the tree crown, no attack effect could be seen.

The next moment, the branches of the Longevity quickly covered the damaged area again, and no damage could be seen on the surface...

"This... this is impossible!"

All the marine officers who saw this scene were stunned.

They imagined that the opponent might activate a super shield to block all attacks, or resort to some secret defensive weapon, but they never thought that the opponent would actually choose to resist!

With his body alone, he took down a round of salvo from his side? !

How strong is this physical defense?
