Compared with those hopeless remarks on the Internet, the domestic public is obviously much more sensible. After all, they have experienced many unimaginable things in recent years due to the existence of future technology. Now, they are not surprised by the changes, but they are not yet at the point of death or survival.

the point.

What's more, China has not slackened at all in the construction of underground dormant bases.

This makes most people familiar with the underground dormant base, knowing that it, like the planetary defense orbital gun, is designed to respond to the crisis on Pluto.

Since Xu Lei was able to formulate a triple guarantee, it shows that he never thought of directly solving the Pluto crisis.

So it is understandable that the first operation failed now.

What’s more, everyone’s trust in Future Technology and Xu Lei is not something that can be achieved overnight. It has experienced various things over the years and will definitely stand the test.

Therefore, the nonsense on many website platforms seems to be full of harmony.

Compared with overseas, it is simply a two worlds.

"Don't panic, everyone. I don't think the situation is too bad yet."

"Isn't it because Pluto was not captured by Jupiter? I believe that future technology must have already considered a response plan."

"If he hadn't been captured, he probably wouldn't have come to the Earth Star."

"Don't worry and wait for the announcement. Congressman Xu will definitely announce the situation."

"Don't spread rumors if you don't believe them."

"I don't know what you are afraid of. At worst, you can just go into the hibernation cabin and sleep. Besides, you haven't even gotten to that point yet. You really think that our planetary defense orbital gun is a vegetarian."

"I'm afraid I can't get into the underground dormant base."

Xu Lei naturally didn't understand the situation on the Earth planet at the moment. What he had to do was to get the detailed data of Pluto as soon as possible, otherwise he would only become more passive, not to mention that Pluto was re-accelerating after completing the flight attitude calibration.

.

Now the probe can stay on the surface of Pluto because its flight speed is not very fast.

If it is really allowed to complete its acceleration and return to its previous flight speed, the detector will be directly torn into pieces and rendered useless.

As time passed by, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel anxious.

Fortunately, Xingtong is powerful enough.

Almost when the probe was forced to leave Pluto, Xingtong successfully transmitted the detection data back to the battleship and reported it to Xu Lei at the same time.

"The detector found traces of magnetic fields and high-energy particles around Pluto. Preliminary judgment is that it is likely to be an antimatter thruster, which helped Pluto escape the capture of Jupiter."

"Here is a detailed data analysis comparison."

Even though Xu Lei had guessed the possible outcome, his expression changed after seeing the data given by Xingtong. He didn't expect that the enemy was far more powerful than he thought.

Antimatter engines get rid of their own fuel.

Hydrogen ions and electrons in the universe can be directly collected for fusion to provide energy. The magnetic field detected by the detector should be the method of collection.

Moreover, using this kind of engine can not only sail in the galaxy for a long time without worrying about the supply of energy, but its speed is also closer to the speed of light, which is far from what nuclear fusion power engines can compare with.

At least human civilization has not yet mastered this technology.

By this time, the whole thing became very clear.

Obviously, this Pluto was not affected by Neptune's gravity to change its flight path and rush out of the Kuiper Belt, but was modified and propelled by an antimatter engine.

And the only ones who can do this are mysterious extraterrestrial civilizations.

Perhaps they are now staying in the outer reaches of the solar system, waiting for Pluto to exterminate human civilization, and then go and take over the Earth without any hesitation.

However, the possession of antimatter engine technology indicates that this civilization should be the leader among secondary stellar civilizations.

Maybe it’s not that far away from level three civilization.

But normally, having this level of strength would completely crush human civilization.

Simply sending an interstellar fleet over and relying solely on the cruisers and planetary defense orbital guns that human civilization currently possesses will not change the final outcome at all.

But extraterrestrial civilization chose this method.

Transform an asteroid to impact the Earth and completely exterminate human civilization.

The reasons are worth pondering.

Do you want to test the strength of human civilization?

Or is there some kind of rule in the galaxy that does not allow unbridled invasion by civilizations?

Fortunately, no matter which one it is, it is a good opportunity for human civilization, which shows that the force sent by the enemy will not be very strong.

As long as we can find a way to deal with them, we can buy enough time for human civilization.

In this way, with the help of the Science and Technology Museum, Xu Lei is confident that mankind can reach the level of second-level civilization in a short period of time and establish mankind's own interstellar fleet. By then, even if the extraterrestrial civilization forces invade, mankind will have the strength to compete with it.

But before achieving this goal, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with urgently.

That is to get rid of this Pluto first.

After all, after adjusting its flight trajectory with the help of the antimatter engine, it continued to rush towards the Earth.

In addition, with the experience of this impact, basic kinetic energy weapons have lost their effectiveness. Only planetary defense rail guns and interstellar battleships can be used to completely smash this planet transformed by extraterrestrial civilization.

Just make sure that the meteorite won't have a big impact on the Earth.

Just as Xu Lei's thinking gradually became clearer, Li Chengze's jaw seemed to have dropped to the ground in shock, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "How can there be antimatter thrusters in the solar system? Our human civilization simply cannot reach this level.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have recalled something, and his face suddenly changed: "Could it be that..."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei slowly raised his gaze, and after noticing that Li Chengzhe finally understood the seriousness of the matter, he said, "It's what you think."

As soon as he finished speaking, he explained in detail.

"Obviously what we encountered was not an accidental disaster, but a tentative invasion from an extraterrestrial civilization, and this civilization is more powerful than us."

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this, so what are we going to do now?" Under the impact of such a big piece of information, Li Chengzhe, no matter how calm he usually is, now has no backbone and can only put all his hopes on Xu Lei.

After finding out the whole truth, Xu Lei also understood that he could not delay any longer.

You must take the initiative to take action.

"Now we have to deal with Pluto first, and then go all out to develop interstellar battleships. No matter who wants to take advantage of Earth, they will have to pay the price."

After expressing his stance in a firm tone, Xu Lei immediately gave Xing Tong a new instruction: "Xing Tong, recalculate the collision time between Pluto and Earth." Just after speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Chengzhe beside him:

"Try to lock on Pluto and let Shenzhou and Future use their main weapons to launch attacks."

"It's the boss." Xingtong nodded in response.

Li Chengzhe sat back on the operating table without saying a word and asked the Mirai to cooperate with him.

Xu Lei's idea is very simple. Since he is determined to completely destroy Pluto, there is no problem in using the heavy rail gun on the battleship to try the effect.

In this way, corresponding data can be obtained, which will be more conducive to subsequent planetary defense orbital gun strikes.

Perhaps because of the confidence given by Xu Lei just now, the mentality of Li Chengzhe and other crew members in the cabin has been adjusted at this moment.

They all devoted themselves to the targeted attack on Pluto.

As a member of human civilization, that kind of national self-confidence is innate, and we will not be afraid even when faced with extraterrestrial civilization.

Friends come with fine wine, but enemies are greeted only by heavy rail guns.

Perhaps because Pluto has not yet accelerated to its previous flight speed, the Future Shenzhou soon completed its lock and prepared to launch a heavy rail gun to attack it.

Since the space torpedo launcher at the front of the battleship is not very fast, it may not be able to catch up with Pluto.

So it cannot produce any effect.

"Shenzhou has locked its target and is ready to launch!"

"Future has locked the target and is ready to launch!"

"Heavy rail gun preparation..."

"emission!"

As Li Chengzhe's voice sounded in the core command and control cabin of the battleship, two tungsten alloy shells were shot from the two battleships respectively, shooting towards Pluto at one thousandth of the speed of light.

However, the final result was unsatisfactory.

Just when the tungsten alloy shell was about to approach Pluto and explode to maximize its power, Pluto suddenly accelerated.

In the end, it only shattered the corners of Pluto, without any impact on its main body and the antimatter engine hidden inside.

Although Xu Lei also guessed that this result would occur, when he saw that the attack had no effect, he still couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He could only say that the Future and Shenzhou were attacking in pursuit and did not dare to increase their speed to the speed of Hades.

It intercepted the star in front of its flight path, so it was understandable that it didn't hit the target.

The main reason is that Xu Lei doesn't dare to take this risk right now.

After all, the flying speed of Pluto has gradually increased. If you step forward to intercept it at this time, you will accidentally be hit directly by Pluto.

With a diameter of more than 20 kilometers, the interstellar battleship basically has no chance of buffering.

Even if the overall safety of the battleship can be guaranteed, as long as something goes wrong, there will be no way to leave here and return to Earth.
