I was exposed for mining on Mars

As a weapon independently developed by the Migration Faction, humans' research on antimatter annihilation bombs can be said to be very thorough.

Although the Migrants did not actually make this weapon themselves, through a large number of virtual experiments, the Migrants still mastered all aspects of technology from production, storage, and use.

If the other party did not restrict all civilizations from contacting the stars and collecting any resources, the migration faction would be able to produce a large number of antimatter annihilation bombs.

It is precisely because of the research on this cross-era weapon that the Blue Star Migration Faction has also jumped from the 23rd place in civilization to the 7th place, and the per capita private space of the ship has also increased from 130 cubic meters to 20,000 cubic meters.

It has only been a hundred years since Blue Star humans were forced to join the cruising fleet, but they have already made such a huge leap, surpassing most civilizations that have joined the cruising fleet for thousands of years.

From this point of view, the potential of Blue Star humans is undoubtedly huge, at least in terms of scientific research, it is huge.

However, from the perspective of starship humans, neither a more comfortable life nor the Cygnus civilization's attraction to the migration faction are the reasons why Blue Star humans should be raised.

‘Destruction is the greatest respect. ’

These were the original words of the leader of the starship humanity, and it was these words that made Luo Xiu join the other party and become a member of the starship humanity.

Of course, this sentence does not mean that the discovered civilization must be destroyed, but it is the voice of the group when the starship humans are raised like insects.

And as a result, just like what the starship human leader said, the entire Blue Star human race that broke away from the cruising fleet was destroyed in the pursuit of the other party.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the test ship has been assembled."

Just as Luo Xiu was thinking about the situation of being a human in a starship, the test ship located in the center of the orbital dock had been completely assembled.

The main body of the assembled test ship is cylindrical, with a flat head and tail. External modules are provided at various locations on the hull to facilitate the installation of weapon systems at any time.

After all the mechanical arms and robots were evacuated from the vicinity of the test ship, Luo Xiu said: "Let's release the shipyard and test it first in Mars orbit."

"Okay, Commander."

Under Luo Xiu's instructions, the shell under the orbital dock suddenly opened to both sides like a door, clearing out a passage for the test ship.

Because it was in space, although the test ship turned on the nuclear fusion engine, it was silent and did not make any sound.

After turning on the power unit, the jet port on the top of the test ship also opened, pushing the test ship suspended in the dock toward the outside of the dock.

"The test is about to begin, and the test ship will raise its orbit to test the operational status."

Under the annotation of the base control system, the test ship that left the orbital dock gradually accelerated, and after leaving the orbital platform, it began to increase its height.

Theoretically, a ship using a nuclear fusion engine can reach the speed of light in a vacuum.

But this is only theoretically speaking. Materials, fuels, and engineering all greatly restrict this theoretical speed.

If this test ship is used to reach 15% of the speed of light in vacuum, its fuel-to-load ratio will reach an astonishing 8.664, and the fuel amount will greatly exceed the payload.

Even if it is only 0.2% of the speed of light, its fuel load will be close to 40% of the total weight if repeated starts and stops are considered.

This limitation is something that nuclear fusion engines cannot yet circumvent.

"It's accelerating."

"The target is two ten thousandths of the speed of light."

"Achieved."

When the test ship was out of visual distance, Luo Xiu could only listen to the test data report through the base control system.

However, judging from the feedback from the base control system, the acceleration and operation of the test ship were perfect, and there were no adverse reactions.

At least from now on, the test is still very perfect.

However, one or two tests cannot reveal the whole picture. If you want to get real test data, the test ship will need to run for a period of time to get complete data.

"Slowing down."

"The magnetic field is unfolding and is collecting protium."

"The test ship is decelerating violently."

"Deceleration test completed, re-accelerating."

The test ship collects protium in space by deploying a magnetic field, thereby achieving the purpose of slowing down the ship.

"The test is not bad. If there are no problems within two days, we will start producing similar ships. If there are still no problems after a week, we will try to build Xia Yu-class warships."

After testing acceleration and deceleration, Luo Xiu floated out of the orbital dock again and landed on the platform.

"Okay, Commander."

As a ruthless command issuing machine, the base control system quickly replied to Luo Xiu.

Although the Xia Yu-class battleship Luo Xiu mentioned sounds very big, it is only the most basic space battleship, not much larger than the reconnaissance ship Luo Xiu piloted.

But as a space battleship, its firepower system module greatly exceeds that of the reconnaissance ship that crashed on Mars.

And just when Luo Xiu was already preparing to build a small battleship, Blue Star, who had been anxious for a day, also focused on the unfolded shield extender.

They cannot figure out the purpose of these extenders, and they have no way to attack or capture them. They can only monitor them through various observation platforms.

But this kind of monitoring is meaningless. After all, the other party is now completely in control. Even if those UFOs suddenly want to take action, Blue Star has no good way to stop them.

"We really can't analyze it based on the appearance alone." In a small conference room in the control center of Huaguo, Gou Wen stroked his own hair and said anxiously.

Although Blue Star now has a large number of photos of the shielding extender, it is still too difficult for everyone to analyze based on photos alone.

"The main thing now is to assess its threat." The liaison officer has also lost a lot of hair in the past few days, and the bags under his eyes are droopy. It is obvious that he has not slept well for a long time.

Cao Guolin put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and whispered to everyone: "Judging from their suspended state, there shouldn't be much of a threat in the short term."

"Does that mean that the alien civilization on Mars still maintains a certain degree of goodwill?" Although the liaison officer felt that his statement was not too accurate, he still asked Cao Guolin.

Now Blue Star and Luo Xiu both feel that they need time very much.

Luo Xiu wants to fight against the vanguard of the cruising fleet during this time period, while Blue Star humans put their last hope on the spacecraft that is still heading towards Mars.

Now the only ones who have any hope of contacting the alien civilization are the group of astronauts who are constantly approaching Mars.
