"We must figure out why all the unmanned machinery will disintegrate as soon as the unmanned machinery approaches Satan. If this problem is not solved, we will not be able to start."

　　

　　 "Try using the gravitational field, maybe you can explore the reason by restraining it."

　　

　　 "Then you need a super gravitational restraint that can affect the Milky Way..."

　　

　　 "……"

　　

　　 Within the vast spiritual space, countless scholars are arguing.

　　

　　Satan, a name of the evil **** derived from the ancient earth era, in the ancient books of the ancient earth era, this name means the source of all evil. Scholars gave this name to the strange giant snake moving forward in space, which shows the importance in his heart.

　　

　　 Scholars have tried many times to try to find out why the unmanned machine will break apart in an instant, but they can't give a conclusion.

　　

　　 It is true that their weapons have powerful power, but if they can't reach the target, no matter how powerful they are.

　　

　　 "Perhaps we should send psionic fighters to find out?"

　　

　　 Someone suggested.

　　

　　 Before this, scholars used unmanned machines to explore the secrets of Satan, but they had never sent psionic warriors.

　　

Although in this interstellar age, the combat method of relying on flesh and blood has been eliminated, but just as on the battlefield roaring with artillery shells, there will still be a group of vigorous, armed with short crossbow dagger silencer pistols and silent special forces. , On different battlefields, naturally have different role positioning.

　　

　　 Those fighters who have undergone the most cutting-edge genetic adjustments and cultivated powerful psychics since childhood are the perfect weapons in the minds of all generals.

　　

　　The number of them is extremely small, and they are often selected among the elite of the billion trillion interstellar humans, all of which are extraordinary warriors who have been honed to the extreme. Even in the Second Republic, whose population is calculated in trillions, the total number of psionic fighters is usually only about one million people.

　　

You know, the second republic’s stellar regions have expanded to more than 500,000. Each stellar region often has a range of hundreds of light-years and thousands of administrative planets. However, these psionic fighters are rare, on average per star. There are only two people in the district, and there will be one person on every thousand administrative planets.

　　

　　 The psionic warrior who is so cherished must naturally be used on the battlefield where it is most needed.

　　

　　 But the academic conference quickly rejected the proposal.

　　

　　 Without him, if the psionic warrior goes to explore in person, he must not simply chase behind the light, but he should personally contact, or even board, the behemoth. But below the speed of light, the time flow of the giant snake at this moment is actually extremely slow.

　　

　　 Although it has been two galactic years since the appearance of the giant snake, humans have tried to explore it dozens of times, but for the giant snake moving at the speed of light, it is actually just a few minutes away.

　　

　　 If psionic warriors are indeed dispatched, then the academic conference may not wait for the returned psionic warriors until decades or even hundreds of years later.

　　

　　So...

　　

　　 The president of the 7th Ring World Society stared at the star map model of the Milky Way in front of him.

　　

　　 "Let’s set the location on Hope Star."

　　

　　 The deep voice suppressed everything.

　　

　　……

　　

　　 Hope Star, the first extrasolar planet colonized by humans, the galaxy in which it is located is also named after the famous colonizing spacecraft "Farstrider".

　　

　　Different from the destroyed Earth and Mars, although it has endured war, it still survived. Today's Hope Star has become a tourist-oriented scenic planet. Not many people settle here, but there are never many interstellar tourists visiting Hope Star every year.

　　

　　 But in the past two years, the spread of a piece of news has made the entire planet anxious, that the "Star Eater" is about to come to the galaxy where the Star of Hope is located.

　　

　　Different from the "Satan" named by scholars, people prefer to call this star-eating monster the "Star-Eater", and from the perspective of its forward direction, the destination of this Star-Eater is also the Star of Hope.

　　

The local organization where Hope Star is located has repeatedly requested the Second Republic to destroy the Star Eater in order to protect the Hope Star, but obviously, the Second Republic is more interested in studying the Star Eater than in the past to protect a small remote and uninhabited planet. .

　　

　　 In 20151 of the Galactic Calendar, two years after the discovery of the Star Eater, the Second Republic was decided.

　　

　　 "...I hope that all the inhabitants of the stars will evacuate from the Farstrider galaxy...The Farstrider galaxy will be the place to capture the star-eater Satan..."

　　

　　 If the judgment of the Second Republic is good, then the star-eater named Satan goes to this galaxy 11 light-years away from the solar system in order to be able to prey on the stars of the Farstrider galaxy. So here, the Second Republic can use the stars of the Farstrider galaxy to set up a gravitational trap with the help of its powerful gravity well, restrain the star-eater to escape, and finally successfully capture the star-eater in this galaxy.

　　

　　 Exchange a small galaxy for a unique sample in the entire Milky Way. In the view of the Second Republic, this idea is completely cost-effective.

　　

　　 It is 9 years before the arrival of the Star Eater, and the Second Republic will have a lot of time to deploy here.

　　

　　 "9 years?"

　　

Once again incorporated into this plan, Tiloan, who assisted in capturing the Star Eater, looked into the dark and silent depths of space. Although nothing was visible, everyone knew that there was an unprecedented space behemoth there. Coming now.

　　

　　……

　　

　　 is the first line of defense to be laid out first.

　　

　　 The first line of gravitational defense has been laid out on the periphery of the Farstrider Galaxy. This line of gravitational defense will take the lead to weaken the target's speed and reduce it from near the speed of light. In theory, if the effect is perfectly achieved, the goal may be reduced to 93% of the speed of light.

　　

　　 The subsequent lines of gravitational defense are also based on the same concept. The star-scale behemoth is first slowed down, and then the weapon is used for siege. If the effect is good, it can directly capture the star-eater at one time.

　　

　　 traps and siege are the same as the way hunters in the ancient earth era deal with their prey.

　　

　　 "But what if the capture fails?"

　　

　　 Facing some scholars’ questions, the president of the society said calmly.

　　

　　 "Then we completed the second test and learned about the target's attack mode and behavior?"

　　

　　 From the perspective of academic conferences, they can achieve satisfactory results no matter what.

　　

　　 So, time flies, and 9 years pass immediately.

　　

　　……

　　

　　 "One hour before the arrival of the Star Eater...50 minutes...40 minutes..."

　　

　　 On the heavily armed spacecraft, the spacecraft AI is reminding the time from time to time, while Tiloan is staring at the vague space in front of him.

　　

　　Different from the previous remote command, Tiloan can ensure his safety. Now he is not testing the power of the weapon, but is going to fight the giant beast. Only in the gravitational traps that are laid down, can we have the opportunity to understand why all unmanned machines will disintegrate in an instant, otherwise the excessive speed will not be able to detect anything at all.

　　

　　 But the danger of approaching the Star Eater at such close range can be imagined.

　　

　　 Tiloan kept recalling the previous tests, trying to find clues, but apart from a flash that inevitably appeared every time, no one knew what happened.

　　

　　 "General Tiloan, please rest assured, we will protect your safety."

　　

　　Beside Tiloan, four unusually tall psionic warriors said silently. Powerful psychic energy surges on their bodies, and the naked torso flashes with complex psychic circuits to enhance the psychic abilities of these fighters.

　　

　　 These psionic warriors, they have undergone special transformations before they were born. In order to apply these complex psychic circuits, from bones to skin, every muscle and every structure has been specially adjusted to adapt to these psychic circuits.

　　

After being born in an artificial womb, they will undergo twenty-four standard surgical transformations, completely branding the psionic circuit in the body. Even if you take their corpses apart, the bones will clearly show psychic energy. Loop. And this is just the beginning. After that, they will go through a series of tempers. It often takes more than a hundred years for a qualified psionic fighter to formally form. The elimination rate is high, except for a few people in the Second Republic. , No one knows the real numbers.

　　

　　 If according to past standards, Tiloan would not even qualify for the personal protection of a psionic warrior. No matter how high the status of the general is, there are hundreds of people in a star area. Only this time is special. The Second Republic specially arranged four psionic fighters to protect Tiloan. If the situation is not right, they will transmit and protect them in a short distance. Tirolan left.

　　

　　 In this small Farstrider galaxy, there are countless unmanned machines and more than ten command spacecraft at this moment.

　　

　　 Normally, there may not be one psionic warrior in a star area, but you can see it everywhere. The generals, auxiliary officers, and psionic warriors on each commanding spaceship total more than two hundred people.

　　

　　 These are not miscellaneous soldiers, all of them are elites trained with a lot of resources.

　　

　　 Behind these two hundred people, the resources consumed by each person are enough to allow millions of interstellar humans to spend their lives comfortably, and only two hundred people have been invested with massive resources.

　　

　　It is conceivable that the Second Republic has indeed sacrificed its blood for this capture operation.

　　

　　 "The target has entered within 10 million kilometers of the first gravitational defense line, please be prepared..."

　　

As I first saw, among the data returned by the subspace probe, billions of kilometers away, the huge light is moving through space at a speed beyond imagination, and it is almost invisible at the speed of light. There is also only constantly refreshed data in the detector.

　　

　　 One million kilometers...

　　

　　100,000 kilometers...

　　

　　 The target successfully entered the gravitational defense line.

　　

　　 The invisible gravity is slowly dragging the target to slow down its speed, but the speed is still unimaginable, as if there is no delay, the light directly broke through the first line of gravitational defense.

　　

　　 The second line of gravitation...

　　

　　 The third line of gravity...

　　

　　 The fourth line of gravity...

　　

　　……

　　

　　 The tenth line of gravitation...

　　

　　……

　　

　　 The twentieth line of gravitation...

　　

　　 It wasn't until the target approached the star position ~lightnovelpub.net~ that the target's speed dropped significantly, and it was no longer shrouded in a blur of light, but the outline of the head and body could be vaguely seen.

　　

　　 As the legend says, it is indeed a huge giant snake with cold vertical pupils, a huge body that is difficult to see the whole picture in space, and it is now flying towards the star.

　　

　　 As the speed drops, the detector is finally able to function normally.

　　

　　 Body type...

　　

body structure……

　　

　　Spectrum...

　　

　　 Heat energy distribution……

　　

　　 gravitational field...

　　

　　 After 11 galactic years, these many basic data that should have been detected long ago were only really known by the Second Republic after being blocked by the gravitational line of defense. With this alone, the first step of information collection that was once skipped is even completed.

　　

　　 Then, there were countless unmanned machines attacking the huge behemoth...
