Collision Meme Material

The Lyra's movements were quite obvious; from the perspective of other warships, it was clearly climbing, much like an airplane. Within a few dozen seconds, the entire hull shifted ninety degrees, its invisible Magnetic Propulsion propelling it upwards at full power.

The upward movement relative to the direction of travel and the original posture of the ship.

As the Lyra rapidly changed its attitude, the detector simultaneously began to probe the unknown target. As before, the Neutrino Detection radar did not react, and only the optical instruments could detect its outline.

Strangely enough, it was discovered by optical instruments.

It's important to understand that while the night sky is called the night sky, it is actually very dark. The human Great Fleet is located in interstellar space between two stars, and the nearest star is already very faint, so theoretically it shouldn't be able to illuminate this unknown object.

Unlike driving in the dark on the ground, a fleet traveling at a constant speed in space does not need to turn on lights to illuminate the way. Especially during the constant speed phase, for the sake of concealment, it basically travels in silence.

Of course, they didn't sail without detecting anything. During the voyage, the fleet would occasionally use Neutrino Detection radar to scan ahead to check for things like space meteorites.

The fleet's speed relative to the Star System reaches 50% of the speed of light, which is very fast. If it were to collide with something at such a speed during its journey, the impact would be greater than that of Electromagnetic Railgun.

Although the Electromagnetic Railgun of the Sea-Class Warship are also touted as being Sub-Light Speed, this is only a claim. In reality, the projectiles fired do not reach half the speed of light. Their destructive power mainly comes from the warhead, rather than from pure brute force impact.

Now, the relative speed between this unknown object and the Lyra has reached 48.9% of the speed of light. If it is some kind of technological creation, the Lyra's proud armor will be useless.

It is clear that the Lyra cannot decelerate within eighty seconds.

Time passed second by second.

As Yue Yuan watched the approaching unknown object on the screen, his heart was pounding. You could tell he was very nervous, but his confidence in the powerful armor of the Lyra also made him appear very calm.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

The 'Tianhe Light' satellite, which was rapidly calculating the situation of the Lyra using various data, continued to broadcast system updates, "Attention all crew members, a collision is unavoidable. This ship is activating its Anti-Impact Mode. All crew members are to immediately enter combat mode. Personal Protection Pod systems activated."

Upon hearing this sound, everyone knew that things had happened too suddenly, Lyra could not escape.

"Close-In Weapon System, prepare!" Upon seeing this, Yue Yuan gave the order to the Lyra without hesitation. Since they couldn't dodge it, they would just blast it away.

Despite knowing it might not be able to be destroyed by bombardment, he still gave the order because he preferred to try using human technology to protect the entire crew rather than risk the foreseeable serious consequences or even the possibility of being smashed to pieces.

At a command, in less than ten seconds, the Close-In Weapon System on the belly and sides of the Lyra began to rotate, aiming their muzzles at the unknown object.

At that time, the distance between the Lyra and the unknown object was only about one million kilometers.

Regardless of what the target was, in desperation, the Close-In Weapon System roared at the target, unleashing a barrage of intense laser beams and positron beams.

Time was too tight; by the time the warship involved Lyra, was released, the other warships had no time to react.

In just a few seconds, countless laser beams and positron beams roared and shot towards the target, just like a drowning person struggling to grasp at the last straw.

At such close range, it's certain to hit; humans are indeed meticulous in this respect.

However, a few seconds after the Close-In Weapon System roared, while the crew of the Lyra were waiting for feedback on the hit, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

At the same time, because they were so close to each other, they also saw the results of the shooting and what the so-called location of the object looked like. But at this time, no one had time to care about what it looked like. Everyone only cared about whether it hit the target and whether it was destroyed by human Close-In Weapon System.

It hit the target.

The feedback footage showed that as countless close-in weapon lasers and close-in Positron Cannon hit the target, there was only one second left before the target collided with the Lyra. The impact point was even marked on the model of the Lyra on the screen.

It's located on the lower part of the ship's hull, which is exactly where the Lyra's power reactor is located.

It's over!!!

Everyone felt a chill. If it had been loaded into the Fuel Pod, that would have been fine. After all, the so-called Fuel Pod is made of either Cold Nuclear Fusion or Heavy Nuclear Fusion materials. There was a 50% chance that it would have crashed into a warehouse full of rocks. As long as the Lyra didn't explode, it would have a chance to survive. However, it was the reactor.

The Lyra operating at full power; if it hits the power reactor, it could really explode.

That second seemed to last forever.

However, just when everyone was filled with despair, the expected collision did not occur.

???

"What happened? Did they manage to avoid it?"

In a daze, everyone on the Lyra shook their heads, a feeling of Escape from the Jaws of Death suddenly appearing in everyone's heart.

Anyone with a modicum of sense knows that, based on the information from the probes, the Lyra absolutely could not avoid this impact.

It was unavoidable, yet there was no feeling of impact; even the Lyra's Detection System showed no signs of damage or Big Bang.

Is this some kind of ghost? "Everyone, look!"

Just as everyone was in a daze, a voice rang out in the channel, accompanied by Close-In Weapon System) feedback images appearing on each crew member's personal screen.

At this moment, everyone finally got a general idea of what the so-called unknown object looked like. From its appearance, it seemed to be a Rhomboid Crystal, pointed at both ends and large in the middle, very regular, completely ruling out the possibility of it being a natural object.

"They went right through it?!"

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

"Forehead"

"What?"

"This... this..."

"Hiss!!!"

Everyone who saw the feedback expressed their amazement and stared wide-eyed at the repeatedly played footage.

The scene that unfolded before their eyes was completely beyond everyone's imagination, because they saw that all the laser beams fired by humans actually passed through this object without any trace of particle reflection, not only the high-energy beams, but also the positron beams.

All the beams of light seemed to hit a transparent shadow; nothing happened.

No, that's not right. It's not that nothing happened, because the next feedback screen appeared.

When they saw the second feedback screen, the reactions of the people on the Lyra were different. Some cheered, some looked bewildered as if a series of question marks appeared above their heads, some stared in disbelief, and some even frowned deeply. Their expressions could all be made into memes.
