Chapter 7 The first test between the two major civilizations!
"There are still 100 million kilometers away from the four-star orbit..."
"Stop!"
In the solar system, a reconnaissance ship stopped 100 million kilometers away from the orbit of Mars.
This distance was set by Captain Moro himself before departure.
One hundred million kilometers away, there is a layer of laser defense system. According to the power of the laser defense system to which Moro belongs, this distance is the limit distance that the reconnaissance ship can withstand.
The laser speed is too fast. If the reconnaissance ship is destroyed at this distance, it will reveal a signal: the indigenous galaxy ring four-star laser defense system is stronger than that of the Moro fleet.
The strength or weakness of the laser defense system only depends on the power, not the speed. After all, they are all ray attacks emitted at the speed of light. The farther the distance, the worse the power.
Placed in the general environment of the universe, the defensive effect is greater than the offensive effect.
"Captain Purcell, will we die?"
In the spaceship, a Glenn man said with some fear.
"I don't know..."
Seer shook his head. If he had known earlier, he would not have worked so hard and was selected to enter the starry sky for the so-called glory.
The strong ones fight off the stars, and are respected by the whole planet. The weak ones, without the right to reproduce, raise the strong ones and leave heirs, and are ridiculed by others.
"Send a signal to Captain Moro..."
"Yes!"
Although they will definitely use gravitational wave detectors to know their locations, the necessary procedures still need to be done.
The reconnaissance ship stopped here in the starry sky, making no unnecessary movements, just staying put, as if waiting for something.
As time passed by, everyone on the ship became nervous and reported numbers from time to time.
Finally, after 300 seconds of earth time passed, Seer opened his mouth.
"Open the energy shield..."
A transparent cover appeared outside the reconnaissance ship, but the Glenn people inside the ship were still uneasy, and their expressions were even more nervous than before.
Purcell slowly walked to a window and looked in the direction of Mars. When the earth time reached 330 seconds, he ordered: "Full power of the protective shield!"

Three seconds later, the expected blow did not come, and a few seconds later, Purcell's tense heart finally relaxed.
He quickly said: "Move quickly..."
Without him having to say anything, the reconnaissance ship flashed quickly and left the place where it was hovering just now.
"Survived again..."
The whole ship cheered.
At this distance, the laser strikes at the speed of light and will reach the reconnaissance ship in 333 Earth seconds at the fastest.
Although they are reconnaissance ships, they cannot prevent laser strikes. The detection wave travels at the speed of light. Even if a laser attack is detected, it will return with the strike and arrive simultaneously. The best way to prevent laser strikes is to move. In 30
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, as long as you don't stop, you have a high chance of avoiding the laser.
But they are just reconnaissance ships, and they are born to die the fastest. They cannot even move this time. They have to live and die with this ship to convey information to the Moro fleet.
Fortunately, the enemy did not attack. I don’t know whether it is because of insufficient power or because it does not want to attack.
……
Moon base.
Zhao Yu looked at the stagnant battleship on the gravitational wave detector with some confusion.
"Why did they stop?"
"I don't know..."
"How far is it from our first line of defense?"
"One hundred million kilometers..."
Uncle Da tried to use multiple data substitutions to find the special characteristics of 100 million kilometers, but he didn't get anything.
Zhao Yu frowned, also puzzled. After waiting for a minute, seeing that the other party had not made any move, he couldn't help but asked: "Could he be attacking us?"
"Sir, judging from the shape of the Moro Fleet spaceship redemption list, this spaceship should be just a reconnaissance ship with limited attack methods..."
"Then if they detonate a micro black hole at this distance, can they pose a threat to us?"
"Can't!"
Uncle Da shook his head, "The distance is too far..."
The two of them observed it for quite a while, and after more than five minutes, the Moro reconnaissance ship finally moved.
In one flash, it moved 3,300 kilometers in the same direction.
At the same time, the data that Uncle Da had been calculating finally matched.
"Sir, I discovered the situation..."
"Say!"
"The enemy reconnaissance ship hovered for 333 seconds without moving. This time is exactly the time when our first line of defense laser fires to their location..."
Zhao Yu frowned and began to think about the time and its meaning.
Although the base's gravitational wave detector is called a detector, it has never emitted or received any signals into the universe. It relies solely on "ripples in space and time" to detect celestial objects.
Gravitational waves, although they are called waves, cannot be seen intuitively.
The reason why gravitational waves of celestial bodies can be detected is the result of calculations based on the universal gravitational constant, the rotational inertia of celestial bodies, the speed of light, distance, etc.
The only variable is spatial distortion. Space is like a net. When you press it with your finger, it will not press out a cylinder, but only a cone.
Every celestial body is equivalent to a finger. Regardless of whether it moves or not, it will leave traces in the vast web of the universe.
In this way, the gravitational wave detector can measure the changes of celestial bodies in the entire solar system in a nearly synchronous manner at a speed exceeding the speed of light.
Of course, the closer the distance to this calculation method is, the better the effect will be. If it spans a galaxy, the perception of spatial distortion will be smaller, making it more difficult to observe.
It's like poking a finger through a large net. Near the center, the distortion is larger and the amount of information is greater. At the edges, there are only slight changes, which are difficult to calculate.
"333 seconds is exactly the time it takes for our laser attack to reach them..."
Zhao Yu suddenly had an idea and said, "Could this be a test?"
"Testing?!" Uncle Da was puzzled.
"The enemy wants to test how strong our laser defense system is..."
He quickly asked: "Uncle Da, at what distance can our laser defense system destroy our reconnaissance ship?"
After careful calculation, Uncle Da said: "If the reconnaissance ship does not move, it should be destroyed within 4.58 million kilometers. Even if the energy shield is opened to the maximum, it cannot stop it..."
Two variables, one is the energy level of the laser and the other is the shield energy level, both depend on the energy technology.
Zhao Yu nodded and said solemnly: "So, the other party's move is to use their data as a test..."
"So, their laser defense system can destroy a scout ship that cannot move but has a full energy shield within 100 million kilometers?"
"Sir, have we exposed the truth?" Although Uncle Da can instantly calculate a lot of terrifying data, in this situation, it is of little use.
"No!"
Zhao Yu shook his head, "The other side can either think that our laser defense system is not strong enough, or they can think that we don't want to fight them, and are even trying to lure the enemy deeper..."
"Nowadays, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Only by constantly creating 'camouflage' can we hide it from the enemy until the day is long enough for a battle..."
Zhao Yu's brain was overloaded like never before. For a while, his brain was about to smoke, and then he finally said: "Speed up all the spaceships that are 'shown' to the Moro fleet, to Mach 135..."<
