Unbelievable Evasion

"What's going on with the Fire Control Radar? It can't even lock on?"

"Captain, there's nothing wrong with the Fire Control Radar. All equipment is functioning normally."

"What's going on? Science Officer! Science Officer!"

"Captain, look at this footage. The human flagship seems to know where we're going to fire. While our ship is still turning and adjusting the main cannon's direction, they already seem to have begun deliberately maneuvering their warship to evade." The Dynamic Image Civilization's Science Officer pointed at a replay.

Their captain looked over, and the longer he watched, the more alarmed he became.

"Predictive targeting? What kind of technology is that? Are the things left behind by the Precursors really that powerful?" the captain asked grimly, questioning both the Science Officer and himself.

Without waiting for an answer, the captain said resentfully, "Again. I refuse to believe we can't hit it. If we still can't hit it, ram it! I refuse to believe a mere Level 4 Civilization warship can win a collision against us. Increase conventional speed!"

When two ships in Warp collided, there would not be a superluminal impact caused by their Warp speed difference. Space inside a ship's Warp Bubble was stationary. If the two ships were relatively stationary, then no matter how many times the speed of light they traveled at as they crashed head-on, once the spaces within their Warp Bubbles came into contact—that was, once the Warp Bubbles touched—their relative velocity would still be zero.

Of course, once the two ships' Warp Bubbles stuck together, the bubbles could no longer exist. The interweaving of the two ships' Warp fields would rupture the Warp Bubbles, and both ships would ultimately exit Warp.

That was why the Level 5 Civilization ship's captain had ordered conventional speed increased. He was preparing to
