A row of numbers appears between two dots.

5073.8 kilometers.

As time goes on, this number keeps shrinking.

"Gao Yang, contact Mars."

Zhao Zijie stretched out his hands and rubbed his somewhat stiff face, cheered up and said, "It's time for us to work!"

Chapter 225 Main Artillery Salvo

The communication was quickly connected.

"Professor Lu, we have arrived at the scheduled location." Seeing Lu Yongchang, Zhao Zijie asked urgently, "At present, the distance between us and the asteroid is 5072 kilometers. Are we going to attack?"

Lu Yongchang looked serious, nodded and said: "Start attacking!"

The moment the order was issued, Zhao Zijie forcefully exhaled the foul air in his lungs.

"One, auxiliary observation!"

5000 kilometers away, an asteroid with a diameter of [-] kilometers, the background is the dark and deep universe.

Without the help of various high-precision observation equipment, it is impossible for human eyes to see the target, let alone aim!

"Received!" A slightly rigid voice sounded in the cockpit.

Then, the holographic image on the console changed, and an irregularly shaped asteroid appeared in front of his eyes.

Zhao Zijie didn't hesitate at all: "One, turn on the auxiliary aiming function."

A green crosshair suddenly appeared in the holographic image.

【Aim Assist function is enabled】

Zhao Zijie swallowed slightly, moved the joystick lightly, and aimed the green sight at the target asteroid.

"Gao Yang, activate an electromagnetic gun."

Zhao Zijie stared fixedly at the holographic image in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't activate the other four."

"Let's try the power of a cannonball first."

Under the watchful eyes of all the pilots in the starship, he pressed the button to launch the electromagnetic gun.

A slight tremor came from the deck below.

The operating power of the nuclear fusion reactor at the tail of the starship soared instantly!

The most powerful energy in the star system is gathered in the fusion furnace.

The electric energy generated by the magnetohydrodynamic generator flows through the circuit made of superconducting material towards the superconducting magnetic energy storage device installed at the bottom of the starship.

In a few milliseconds, the superconducting magnetic energy storage device responsible for supplying energy to the main gun is filled with electric energy.

Immediately afterwards, Yi ran the program in the onboard computer to precisely control the magnetic field strength of each part of the coil inside the electromagnetic coil gun.

At the same time, the projectile went into the chamber!

Under the constraint of the magnetic field, the projectile quietly floats inside the gun barrel without the slightest contact with the gun barrel.

The next moment, a projectile with a diameter of one meter rushed forward at high speed under the impetus of a strong magnetic field!

In a very short period of time, the projectile passed through the 30-meter-long accelerating barrel.

The projectile is fired!

"The projectile has been launched!"

"Initial speed 6127 km/s!"

Gao Yang stared at the holographic image in front of him, and the moment he saw the data, he shouted loudly!

At this moment, Zhao Zijie held his breath suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at the image of the asteroid in front of him!

0.5 second, 1 seconds, 2 seconds...

wrong!

With a distance of 5000 kilometers, it is reasonable to say that an impact will occur within a second!

"What's going on?!" Zhao Zijie looked at the asteroid still "doing its own way" in the picture, and shouted anxiously, "One, did the projectile launch succeed?"

"Captain Zhao Zijie, the projectile was successfully launched five seconds ago." A stiff voice sounded in the cockpit.

Gao Yang looked at Zhao Zijie with an ugly face: "Captain, could it be that... we're going wrong?"

Zhao Zijie's face changed slightly, and he turned to look at the aiming screen.

The asteroid sat quietly in the center of the crosshairs.

"No, there is no problem with aiming." Zhao Zijie turned his eyes to the holographic projection for help.

In the projection screen, Lu Yongchang sighed slightly.

"Sure enough... the control of this electromagnetic coil gun is still a big problem."

"Zero! Take over control!"

The moment the voice fell, a familiar electronically synthesized sound sounded inside the starship.

"Got it, Professor!"

"The control of the starship has been taken over, and the trajectory of the previous projectile is being analyzed..."

"Adjusting the control program..."

"The adjustment has been completed, continue firing!"

Before Zhao Zijie could react, another projectile rushed out of the barrel!

After a second.

"...The launch was successful, but the target was not hit."

"Readjusting the data..."

As the sound of zero continued to sound, the barrel of the main gun fired more than ten projectiles in sequence.

The corners of Zhao Zijie's eyes twitched, and after looking at Gao Yang at the side, he sighed helplessly.

This accuracy...is it too bad?

Just when everyone was disappointed with the performance of the electromagnetic gun, a powerful flash appeared on the asteroid in the holographic image!

While countless rock fragments were splashing, the trajectory of the asteroid changed dramatically!

"...The 16th test, the projectile was launched successfully and hit the target!"

Shanshan, the voice of Zero's report, came late.

"Successful, successful?"

Zhao Zijie's Adam's apple twitched, his eyes fixed on the holographic image in front of him.

The light gradually faded away.

A huge "crater" appeared on the surface of the asteroid.

Although this projectile did not disintegrate the asteroid, everyone could still feel the tremendous power of the electromagnetic gun!

"Wait...why is there a flash?" Gao Yang asked belatedly, "It seems that the effect is similar to an explosion?"

"It's simple."

The voice of Lu Yongchang's explanation sounded from the side: "We installed miniature nuclear bombs inside these projectiles, which are not very powerful, similar to the power of the one in Hiroshima back then."

Gao Yang: "..."

Zhao Zijie: "..."

"Nuclear bomb?!" Gao Yang's eyes showed deep fear, "Professor Lu, you mean that the tens of thousands of projectiles we brought were all filled with nuclear bombs?!"

Zhao Zijie looked towards the cabin behind him with a pale face.

They actually spent more than ten days with tens of thousands of nuclear bombs! !

"Calm down, calm down." Lu Yongchang said cheerfully, "It's not that exaggerated."

"Among tens of thousands of projectiles, only a few hundred projectiles are loaded with miniature nuclear bombs inside."

"Don't worry, we have taken adequate safety measures and nothing will happen."

"..." There was silence in the starship.

Zhao Zijie took a deep breath and calmed down the "turmoil" in his heart.

"Teach, professor, shall we continue firing projectiles now?"

"Of course." Lu Yongchang in the projection screen looked surprised, "What? You still want to bring these nuclear bombs back?"

[Starting all electromagnetic coil guns...]

The lights in the cockpit dimmed.

Main gun salvo!

A second later, the surface of the asteroid in the holographic image lit up with dazzling light!

Before the light dissipated, the color of the main interface of the holographic projection turned red.

Zero's voice also sounded.

"alarm!"

"Disintegration of the asteroid has been observed!"

"Full power rapid fire mode activated!"

A muffled hum rose from below the deck!

Under Zero's control, the five electromagnetic guns felt like Gatling!

In the deep and dark cosmic space, there are bursts of light shining!

That was the scene where the projectile loaded with the miniature nuclear bomb collided with the fragments of the asteroid!

Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang stared dumbfounded at the silent scene in front of them.

At this moment, they seemed to have seen the epitome of the future interstellar war.

Chapter 226 A "Gift" to the Neighbors

The metal storm that lasted for more than a minute came to an end.

In the holographic projection in front of him, the hideous asteroid has completely disappeared.

Zhao Zijie, who was sitting on the captain's seat, swallowed again.

"Zero, what's the effect?"

In the holographic image on the side, there was a question from Lu Yongchang.

The next moment, Zero responded in a flat voice: "A total of 50073 projectiles were fired, and 47596 of them were hit, with a hit rate of 95.05%."

"In terms of results..."

Speaking of this, Zero's voice paused slightly.

"So far, no asteroid debris larger than 1 meter has been found."

"Hiss..." Gao Yang's eyes widened and he gasped.

Not only Gao Yang, but even Lu Yongchang who was in the Mars spaceport was shocked by this string of data.

Although the hit rate is only 95.05%, this is the hit rate for hitting high-speed moving objects!

At the moment when the asteroid disintegrated, it is unknown how many large and small debris were splashed out.

Driven by the explosion of the miniature nuclear bomb, the speed of these debris far exceeds the original flight speed of the asteroid!

With five electromagnetic guns, such appalling results can be achieved...

Lu Yongchang suddenly realized that strong artificial intelligence exists like a bug in war!

At least, such a result would be impossible for humans or fixed programs to control the five electromagnetic guns!

"...Not bad, the power is not bad."
