Chapter 266 A Gift from Thousands of Miles Away
Proxima b.
Central Academy of Sciences.
Augustus, wearing a unique black robe, paced back and forth in the observation room.
"What's the result?"
Seeing an observer stand up, Augustus quickly cast an inquiring look at the observer: "Have you found any traces of the solar system civilization?"
Facing Augustus's burning gaze, the observer shook his head tremblingly.
Seeing this, Augustus's aura was suppressed again.
"Five years! It took five years to search!"
Augustus opened his breathing hole, exhaled a breath of hot air, stretched out his short and dry forelimbs, and slapped the detection equipment in front of him fiercely.
"Not even a hair of the solar system fleet was found!"
The observer did not dare to speak, but silently stepped back a few steps and sat back in the chair again.
"Sir Augustus, is it possible that the solar system fleet has left?"
Narts asked cautiously on the side.
Augustus turned around suddenly, and six eyes stared at Narts in front of him.
"Narts! Do you think this is possible?!"
"They gave up the habitable star system in front of them and went to find Ross 154, 8.24 light years away?"
"That's nearly twice the distance!"
Narts was speechless for a moment.
Yes, unless the solar system civilization's brain was stuck in the door, it would be impossible to give up a piece of fat meat in hand.
According to their hundreds of years of observation, within a ten-light-year range, in addition to the solar system 4.22 light years away, there are only solid planets suitable for habitation in the Ross 154 star system 8.24 light years away.
Ross 154 (with Proxima b as the origin)
The atmosphere in the observation room was so heavy that it seemed to squeeze out water.
"Continue to detect!"
Augus' voice broke the heavy atmosphere in the observation room: "Use the optical telescope for me too!"
"Since electromagnetic waves can't detect them, use your eyes to pull them out little by little!"
After the voice fell, Augustus turned and walked towards the door of the observation room.
"Huh..." Watching Augustus' back gradually disappear at the door, Nalts slightly opened his breathing hole and breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at several observers beside him.
Everyone saw bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just as Nalts was about to say something, a rapid and high-pitched alarm sounded in the Central Academy of Sciences!
At the same time, countless white warning lights lit up!
Nalts couldn't help but stand there.
The observer's sharp shout suppressed the high-pitched alarm.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
...
A few minutes ago.
There are a large number of planetary defense facilities distributed in the synchronous orbit of Proxima b.
Laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons and various active detection equipment form a dense defense network outside Proxima b.
Suddenly, a large number of active detection devices issued an alarm to Proxima b!
The reason is simple.
The electromagnetic wave signal sent back showed that a large number of unidentified objects moving at high speed suddenly appeared 120,000 kilometers ahead!
...
"Damn it, what's going on!"
Augus' voice rang out again.
He moved his slightly dry lower limbs and returned to the observation room again.
"Sir Augustus, the active detection equipment shows that a group of high-speed moving unidentified objects have appeared 120,000 kilometers away from us!"
Hearing this, Augustus' heart sank.
Here it comes!
"Is it the solar fleet?" Augustus asked hurriedly.
As long as the location of the enemy fleet is found, this war will be much easier.
"Uh... It doesn't look like it. The data displayed by the detection equipment is a bit strange. Could it be wrong?" Nalts looked at the display on the side and said in confusion.
Not an enemy ship?
Suddenly, a fatal thought flashed through Augustus' mind.
He suddenly widened his three pairs of eyes, rushed forward and pushed Nalts who was blocking the way away.
When he saw the data displayed on the display, his six eyes showed a strong sense of horror!
"Quick! Prepare to intercept!"
"That's a projectile fired by an electromagnetic cannon!"
He then glared at Nalts and a group of observers beside him.
Damn it, no one noticed such an obvious feature!
At a speed of 100,000 km, it only took 20 seconds to cross the 120,000 km.
Thinking that they had just wasted nearly ten seconds of interception time, Augustus was furious.
Time was limited, and he had no time to reprimand everyone, so he reached out and pressed the white emergency button on the side.
"Quick!"
"Start the automatic interception program!"
"We must not let these projectiles attack our planetary defense equipment!"
...
The moment the white button was pressed, a radio command was sent from the Central Academy of Sciences to the planetary defense facilities in the synchronous orbit.
The next second, under the control of the preset program of the central computer, the electromagnetic cannon and laser cannon in the corresponding area began to charge.
At this time, a full 12 seconds had passed since the discovery of this batch of projectiles.
The first batch of "gifts" sent by the human expedition fleet crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived 48,000 kilometers away from Proxima b!
One second later, the interception weapon was fully charged.
The distance between the projectile and Proxima b: 42,000 kilometers!
Under the control of the central computer, the laser cannon and electromagnetic cannon instantly poured out huge firepower forward!
The short laser beam strikes the target first.
In just an instant, under the power of the high-energy laser beam, the electromagnetic gun pellet melted instantly, revealing the miniature nuclear bomb wrapped in it!
boom! !
A burst of fire appeared outside Proxima b.
Like a signal, with the laser beams firing back and forth and the precise attacks of electromagnetic cannon projectiles, explosions of fire appeared one after another on the periphery of the planet!
Suddenly, a projectile broke through the layers of blockade, and like a warrior, it entered the dense planet-circling defense facilities!
This fish that slipped through the net slammed into a high-energy laser cannon!
The huge impact instantly activated the micro-nuclear bomb inside the projectile.
boom! ! !
This time, the flames of the explosion appeared in the planet-circling defense facility!
Because there is no atmosphere, the explosion of the micro-nuclear bomb did not cause a shock wave, and the impact on the surroundings was not very large.
But no matter what, the laser cannon that was directly hit completely became space junk.
The disappearance of a laser cannon created a small hole in the originally extremely dense defense network.
A chain reaction ensues!
boom! boom! ! boom! ! !
Continuous explosions of fire appeared on the defense network of the synchronous orbit!
Laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons turned into endless debris under the attack!
Several more projectiles quietly passed through the defense network and rushed straight towards the surface of Proxima b!
