Sometimes, the enemy's stupidity exceeded all imagination. Countless historical facts had proven that "leadership" and "intelligence" did not have much of a strong correlation. "Ass" had rather more to do with it.
Because one's ass determined one's head, Chu Fei now encountered precisely such an act of stupidity: Immortal Cloud Star's "counterattack."
As Chu Fei and the others took the remaining warships around the sun, using its gravity to accelerate, Immortal Cloud Star launched its "counterattack" when they were still ten days away.
Combat in space was dangerous and tedious. Everyone attacked each other from millions, even tens of millions, of kilometers away. There were none of the spectacular effects seen in movies—aside from damaged spacecraft and attacks from Particle Cannons or plasma cannons.
Long-range attacks were usually carried out with lasers and Electromagnetic Cannons. There was not enough air or dust in space for the Tyndall effect, so lasers could not be seen. The solid projectiles fired by Electromagnetic Cannons did not glow either; they were small, fast, and difficult to detect.
With none of those flashy effects, attacks were almost entirely invisible, pushing the danger to the absolute limit.
Whether one had been targeted, locked onto, or attacked was nearly impossible to know.
This was unlike fighting on the ground, where one could at least be locked onto by radar. At distances of over a million kilometers, even light took three seconds to arrive, and spacecraft moved so quickly that three seconds later, no one knew where they had gone.
The entire process of space combat was high-tech blind fire. Whether an attack hit depended entirely on luck, and whether one got hit also depended entirely on luck.
It was called high-tech blind fire because the entire battle required high-tech calculations from beginning to end. Yet due to
