232: Black Forest Theory
All combat personnel had now taken their battle stations.
Many were trembling with excitement.
This was their first battle, and humanity's first fight against aliens, so Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Their expressions were tense!!!
Far away on Blue Star, The Top Leader and Old Wang, along with other high-ranking officials, were seated in a meeting, anxiously watching the live broadcast from the Yuanhang-class Star Destroyer.
The Top Leader and Old Wang both watched the large screen nervously.
“The fate of our Blue Star depends on this moment!”
The Top Leader said slowly.
Hearing The Top Leader's words, Everyone nodded and continued to watch the large screen.
Huaxia had also shared this broadcast with the leaders of other countries, except for Eagle Country Leader, of course.
At this time, Eagle Country was seen by Everyone as a complete sieve; telling the Eagle Country Government was equivalent to telling the entire Blue Star.
So, Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Eagle Country.
At this moment, Eagle Country Leader was still foolishly eating, contemplating how Eagle Country could best leverage the aliens for maximum profit in the future.
At the same time.
The alien spaceship finally encountered the Yuanhang-class Star Destroyer.
“Oh my goodness, there's a Space battleship here!”
“Looking at its size, it's comparable to our secondary battleships, holy crap!”
“What's going on??? ”
“Quick, activate the shields!!! ”
...Inside the alien spaceship, it was a chaotic mess. They hadn't expected to encounter such a massive Space battleship in this remote area.
It was absolutely insane!
The alien spaceship captain rushed to the bridge.
“Can we shake them off?”
“Damn it, how did this planet get targeted by another civilization? If I had known this, you couldn't have paid me to come here.”
The alien spaceship captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face filled with anxiety.
Their ordinary scout ship stood no chance against an opponent's battleship, even if it fought to the death!
Now, they could only hope to use their small size and flexibility to shake off the opponent.
The Vice Captain beside him was also breaking out in a cold sweat. With such a massive battleship here, their chances of survival were slim.
“Quick, get moving! Before the enemy battleship can react, let's escape quickly.”
The alien spaceship captain shouted to Everyone.
All the aliens scrambled back to their posts, trembling in their seats.
Damn it, they just wanted to capture some backward barbarians to mine for them.
To earn some money and go home, but damn it, they actually encountered a Space battleship of an unknown civilization.
In the vast Space, the probability of encountering a battleship is infinitely close to zero, yet they still ran into it.
“Damn it, when I get back, I must buy a lottery ticket, I'll definitely win the grand prize!”
An alien shouted, imagining his future life as a rich person after winning the lottery, while simultaneously suppressing the fear in his heart.
The other aliens heard their teammate's words and all agreed immediately.
On the alien spaceship's bridge.
“Has the enemy battleship detected us?”
The alien spaceship captain looked at the operator.
He kept praying, hoping that the enemy's battleship hadn't discovered them.
“Captain, they don't seem like they haven't detected us!”
As the operator magnified the Yuanhang-class Star Destroyer's status onto their screen, all the aliens' hearts suddenly lit up.
The opponent's Main Cannon was charging.
“Captain, why don't we contact them and tell them our identity? Maybe that will scare them off!”
The operator turned to look at the alien spaceship captain, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes.
Perhaps the opponent would be afraid of their Quark Civilization and let them go.
“You idiot, by doing that, are you trying to kill our entire civilization?!”
The alien spaceship captain yelled at the operator.
Are you kidding? If the opposing civilization was stronger than the Quark Civilization, or if their strength was comparable to the Quark Civilization's.
Wouldn't that expose their Quark Civilization?
At that time, the opponent would be in the dark, and they would be in the open, and then the Quark Civilization would be in danger.
“Everyone, remember, we cannot expose any information about our civilization, even if we die, otherwise our civilization is very likely to be destroyed.”
The alien spaceship captain turned and said to Everyone.
The Dark Forest theory was not unfamiliar to the Quark Civilization; Everyone knew what impact exposing their civilization would have.
Their civilization being occupied by the enemy was a minor matter; more terrifying was their civilization being completely annihilated by the enemy.
Hearing the alien spaceship captain's words, Everyone fell silent. Now they could only place their hopes on their spaceship.
“I hope our spaceship can escape!”
“It definitely can. Our spaceship is small and flexible; it can definitely shake off the opponent.”
“That's right, that's right, we can escape with our lives.”
...Everyone was praying.
“The opponent's Main Cannon is about to finish charging, Captain, what do we do?”
All the aliens turned to look at the alien spaceship captain.
“There's a large asteroid ahead; let's quickly hide behind it.”
This was when the alien spaceship captain discovered an asteroid, so he quickly urged Everyone to maneuver the alien spaceship to hide behind it.
What the alien spaceship captain didn't know was that the asteroid they were hiding behind was called the Deep Space Bomb C/2014UN271 Comet by Blue Star.
The Deep Space Bomb (hereafter, Deep Space Bomb C/2014UN271 will be referred to simply as Deep Space Bomb) has a diameter of 160 kilometers.
Previously, European and Eagle Country astronomers had been concerned that this large comet would threaten Blue Star.
At this moment, the Yuanhang-class Star Destroyer's Heavy Proton Main Cannon had finished charging.
“Captain, the Main Cannon is fully charged; we can fire.”
The Main Cannon operator looked at Wang Xin, now just waiting for Wang Xin's command.
Wang Xin, in turn, looked at the radar monitor.
“Captain, that alien spaceship is hiding behind the Deep Space Bomb.”
The radar monitor hadn't expected the alien spaceship to be so sneaky; if he hadn't been watching them closely, they might have actually gotten away.
“Fire! Ganymede was destroyed by our Heavy Proton Main Cannon; a Deep Space Bomb can't protect them.”
Wang Xin's lips curved upward in a cold smile.
You think you can run after we've got our eyes on you? No way!
“Yes!”
“Main Cannon, fire!”
The Main Cannon operator pressed the fire button.
Instantly, the Yuanhang-class Star Destroyer fired.
At this moment, in the Capital.
The Top Leader, Old Wang, and other high-ranking officials all stood up, watching the screen with full concentration.
The leaders of other countries were so tense they forgot to breathe.
The future of Blue Star rested on this one shot.
“Come on!”
The Top Leader said softly.
Everyone was silently praying in their hearts.
