The 24 hours were gradually shrinking, and through the high-frequency transmission device, the image was directly synchronized with Earth via orbital WeChat.
People around the world were waiting for this montous contact, not knowing whether it was the confidence given by the Arican fleet to humans, but for this encounter, most humans were filled with confidence; even reporters had already gathered at the spacecraft's docking port waiting for firsthand interview materials.
"General Scully, the target spacecraft has suddenly started to accelerate, reaching 5% of the speed of light, and the estimated ti will be shortened to about an hour!"
"They really can't wait!" General Scully was not the slightest bit flustered; he even felt a trace of excitent. He had participated in countless wars, but this was his first ti against aliens. If he returned triumphantly this ti, he would be rembered in human history.
How does the saying go? A successful man should stop wetting the bed by age three, eat by himself by five, drive by eighteen, have a girlfriend by twenty, and have money by thirty. By forty, he should still have money, and by fifty, still have money!
At sixty, he still has a girlfriend; at seventy, he can still drive; at eighty, he can still walk by himself; at ninety, he can still not wet the bed; at a hundred, there is no photo of him on the wall; at three hundred, his photo is still up there.
To beco such a successful man, the opportunity was already at hand!
"Have you sent them a ssage? Are they willing to have a friendly conversation with us?" General Scully asked. A week ago, they had already sent a ssage to the opposing fleet in their language.
The content of the ssage was simple: if they ca with goodwill, then they should et formally outside Earth's orbit, and then take a human warship back to Earth for further communication.
If they ca with goodwill, humans would not be afraid of them; worst case scenario, a fight would ensue!
"Report to the General, we received a response four hours ago, and the ssage..."
"Speak, what's with all the hesitation?"
"Yes, General! The other party said they are from a Level Two civilization planet, 1500 light years away in the Orion Constellation. They have co to occupy our planet. If humans simply surrender, then we would beco slaves and sold to other planets, at least sparing our lives."
"Hmph, they aren't even trying to hide their intentions! What if we resist to the end?"
"Then they would initiate a plan to exterminate humanity, wiping us off the Earth."
"They sure are confident," General Scully laughed, "A few years ago, perhaps we really could not escape this fate, but now, I really want to know by what ans they intend to exterminate us."
"All warships, prepare for battle!"
1 hour... 50 minutes... 40 minutes...
Finally, that search of huge black warships appeared within human sight, their 2.4 kiloters of massive scale made the North Arican fleet's average 800 ters length look sowhat miniature by comparison.
But the 200 warships were deployed in a battle array spread out, visually oppressing the fleet of black warships far in the distance.
"Begin the battle, Beam Cannons ready, aim for non-lethal areas as much as possible, we'll try to capture them alive!"
In that instant, Earth's orbit, silent for hundreds of millions of years, beca the theater of humanity's first confrontation with extraterrestrial life.
The Beam Cannons accurately targeted the huge black warships, their gargantuan size serving as a ludicrous target.
"Captain, we've been attacked by the people of Blue Star! Should we retaliate?"
"Activate the Solid Light Phase Armor!" Bates laughed, "We have ti to spare, we can play with them slowly, letting them realize that numbers an nothing before absolute power, and the gap in civilization isn't sothing these nouveau riche can fill just because they suddenly got so information."
The first Beam Cannon hit the black spaceship in less than a second, and in that mont in the air, that soon-to-be-struck part suddenly flashed a golden gleam.
At that mont, like magic, the Beam Cannon was reflected back, returning exactly along its path towards the fleet of human warships.
"Evade!"
However, the enormous warship was too cumberso in the face of the beam cannon's speed. Although it had activated its engines to evade imdiately, the beam cannon still left a huge hole in the side of the spaceship.
Seconds later, the warship exploded from its midsection. Because of ti constraints, the North Arican fleet had not invested substantial resources in defense, leading to a chain reaction once the ship was damaged, and its rapid destruction.
With countless debris flying out, it officially marked the destruction of humanity's first warship.
Casually, the remaining attacks were also deflected back in the sa manner, resulting in the loss of contact with another six warships.
Watching this scene, the smiles on human faces froze.
"Why? Why is this happening?" General Scegli's face was full of confusion, as he did not understand why their attacks were being directly bounced back.
"nglong, what do you think?" In the Longxia command center, Zhang nglong and Elder Zhou among other national leaders stared at the screen, deep in thought. The situation seed very dire; without even launching an attack, the enemy had already destroyed seven human warships.
"It's just phase armor made of solid light material," Zhang nglong recognized the mystery of the spaceship at a glance, "They have imprisoned photons and turned it into a material that automatically appears at the point of impact to reflect light particles, and it reduces energy consumption to the lowest level, a common defense equipnt used by Level Two civilizations."
In Zhang nglong's Super God Academy, so students had already been studying this material, but so far, it was still in the experintal stage. After all, Earth's resources were too limited, and even just making tools took a long ti.
"Can they win?" ng Tianhe looked at the black warships.
"No way," Zhang nglong didn't even bother to think, "The gap in fundantal science is too great. Even if their applied technology is strong, it is still vulnerable. I've even made a 'Three-Body' film, how do they still not understand this principle? Was it Liang Jingru who gave them the courage to face the enemy?"
...
"This is so pointless," Captain Bates seed very tired of this aningless resistance, "Solid Light Float Cannon!"
From the black warship, a large number of golden cones flew out, rushing towards the human camp at high speed.
"Activate the protective shield!"
The electromagnetic shield, the only defense this batch of warships had, which was effective against both physical and beam attacks.
But they clearly knew nothing about the enemy's technology; weapons made of solid light material easily penetrated their protective shields, and then through their warships.
"Retreat! Retreat!" General Scegli shouted, but the golden light got closer and closer until he saw death...
Three minutes later, the entire North Arican fleet of 200 warships was lost, and over 17,000 human soldiers were killed!
"Damn it!" In Longxia's conference room, the unwilling roars of humans echoed.
"A bunch of arrogant fools, they asked for their own deaths. Why should we feel sad for them?" Zhang nglong had heard that the North Arican fleet had insisted on confronting the enemy, and Huaxia had strongly opposed it.
But not only did they not listen to the advice, but they also mocked them feverishly, accusing Huaxia of being jealous of their opportunity to make contact with an extraterrestrial civilization.
"Although that's true," Elder Zhou's eyes filled with tears, "one of the ships carried over a hundred scientists and linguists prepared to communicate with an alien civilization; among them were over twenty scholars from Huaxia!"
"What?" Hearing that there were Huaxia people on that ship, Zhang nglong's DNA stirred.
Those idiots had no idea about their limits and deserved what ca to them for seeking a solo fight, but with the sacrifice of Huaxia scientists, Zhang nglong couldn't tolerate it!
"Damn it, has this dog civilization grown tired of living?"
