Untouchable

The two named warships immediately Attitude Adjustment according to the parameters of the squadron's flagship. However, before the three warships could complete their weapon charging, a hesitant voice rang out from the bridge of the three ships.

"Captain, that human warship seems to be... okay, nothing's wrong!"

"It's alright? What do you mean it's alright?" the captain asked in confusion while in the Acceleration Buffer Fluid, then shouted, "Transmit the enemy ship image and zoom in to the maximum."

Keep in mind that 18.9 light-seconds is 5.66 million kilometers, which is 14.9 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The detection methods on the warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization were not limited to optical telescopes, but combined radio, infrared, ultraviolet and other detection methods. It was in this way that they were able to 'see' a warship that was only 1,500 meters long, 18.9 light-seconds away.

However, "seeing" clearly doesn't mean seeing every detail of the warship, but rather its overall structure. By using various scientific parameters, it's possible to determine the condition of a distant warship.

"Huh?!" The Kuntai People captain glanced at the screen and noticed something was wrong. The human warship that had been hit showed no signs of power loss, and there was no explosion as expected.

She sensed a vague unease.

Logically speaking, no matter how strong the armor of a human warship is, when it is hit by the main gun, even if it does not Big Bang directly, it will at least suffer local damage.

Such localized damage can be detected by the Kun-Tai Civilization's detection methods, as had already been proven when the central fleet hit those two human Quake-Class Warship.

But what's going on if we can't even observe any damage? Did they miss? The captain didn't think the observer would joke around at a time like this.

"Demonstrate the hit process again." The captain hesitated for a moment before giving the order, and then carefully watched the screen frame by frame.

She quickly noticed that when the camera panned to the moment the laser Energy Weapon hit the target, two hot spots appeared on the human warship, confirming that two shots had indeed hit the target.

However, after the high temperature point appeared, the downward movement of the scene did not show the explosive light that had been observed before.

"We couldn't even penetrate the enemy's Outer Armor?!"

Seeing this, the captain was a little confused. She could understand if the shot didn't destroy the human Quake-Class Warship, since the Chinese fleet had already encountered it before, but there should at least be some small explosion.

But there wasn't even an explosion.

"What kind of armor is this? Could it be some kind of alloy with excellent thermal conductivity? But that can't be right, it's impossible!"

The scientific team aboard the Kun-Tai Civilization's warship naturally noticed this situation, and the channel was immediately filled with various speculations.

"It can't be a problem with thermal conductivity. No matter how good the thermal conductivity is, it can't be faster than the energy beam being applied. It's impossible."

"Yes, it's impossible for any material to conduct away the rapid local temperature difference caused by a laser Energy Weapon in an instant. It's impossible."

"That's a high-temperature resistant material!"

"High-temperature resistant materials? Our main guns can instantly heat targets to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. They can penetrate any material we can manufacture. As Tier 1 Civilization, how could humanity possess such advanced materials technology? This is not scientific!"

"Could it be some kind of derivative technology, like the Positron Cannon? How could that be?"

For a moment, the warship's internal channels were filled with all sorts of incredulous sighs.

"Shut up, all of you! This isn't the time for speculation!" the captain shouted first, then said through gritted teeth, "Pass this discovery on to all the captains. All the remaining warships, move in with me and aim all your guns at that warship! If you can't penetrate it from a distance, fire at close range. If two shots don't destroy it, fire ten, fifty, a hundred! That warship is clearly different from the previous two. This means that humanity doesn't have many ships on it, maybe there's only one. If we take it down, victory is ours. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the true main force of Human Civilization, maybe even their flagship!"

With the captain's order, the remaining nineteen warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization's Fourth Fleet immediately accelerated their advance.

They certainly knew that accelerating their advance meant they would be more easily hit, but dragging it out would not only fail to sink the enemy, but also risk being worn down and killed here.

However, humans who already knew that the Kun-Tai Civilization was running out of fuel could hardly miss it.

Therefore, the Kun-Tai Civilization accelerated its advance, wanting to get closer to fight, while the human warships relied on the asteroid to fight and retreat, using their superior acceleration to always maintain a certain distance.

Now, the Kun-Tai Civilization finally understood that human warships were not only superior in main guns and armor, but also in maneuverability.

That's right, the final speed is the same, but the human warships have a stronger acceleration than the Kun-Tai Civilization, which allows the humans to fire a shot and then decelerate or create distance with ease.

Actually, the ship that was hit by two shells before was indeed the Flagship Lyra of Human Civilization.

When the Lyra was hit, the crew was quite nervous because they were unsure if the enemy had Positron Cannon. However, after realizing that nothing had happened, everyone knew that what hit the Lyra was a conventional Energy Weapon.

The armor of the Lyra is better than that of other warships, and it is almost entirely made of materials obtained from research on alien spacecraft, which cannot be burned through at temperatures below 150 million degrees Celsius.

As for the main cannon of the Kun-Tai Civilization, data had already been obtained from the Mount Wudang-Class Warship and Mount Emei-Class Warship.

So as long as it's not Positron Cannon, the Lyra can basically go about its business.

The reason we say "basically" is that if a high-yield hydrogen bomb were to hit the surface of the skin, it could still melt, since the center of a hydrogen bomb explosion can instantly generate a temperature of over 150 million degrees Celsius.

However, hitting a warship with a high-yield hydrogen bomb from such a great distance is simply a pipe dream.

Of course, even though Yue Yuan knew how powerful the Lyra was, he did not directly order the Lyra to charge forward, but instead continued to use the original blocking tactics.

Since it's unnecessary, judging from the current posture of the Kun-Tai Civilization, they are determined to charge in. The best way for humanity to minimize losses is to fight and retreat, using the asteroid as cover to block their advance.

Humans are few in number, and each one is precious. Yue Yuan has no reason to sacrifice their lives for a moment of passion.

The Lyra was powerful, but the other warships still couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Kun-Tai Civilization's main cannons.

After discovering that the remaining warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization were all targeting the Lyra, Yue Yuan became even more certain of this. He felt that this was a good opportunity to create a more comfortable firing environment for the Mount Huang-Class Warship and Mount Lu-Class Warship.
