Following General Howson's order, the staff of the Antarctic base began to move.
This was the first time in the history of mankind that the first shot was fired against alien technology!
No matter who won or lost, General Howson's name would be recorded in the annals of human history!
Due to the limitations of Earth's technology, there was a five-second delay from the input of the command to the warm-up of the space-based microwave weapons deployed in Earth orbit.
In these five seconds, everyone in the Arctic and Southern bases held their breaths nervously.
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
On the big screen, the light red area that simulated the attack range of the space-based high-energy microwave weapon quickly extended into a fan-shaped structure, quickly covering the red dot representing the alien spacecraft.
Time stopped at this moment!
General Howson's eyes widened as he stared at the big screen without blinking!
The screen showed that the spaceship was completely covered by the 2450 megaHertz frequency microwave field! According to the performance parameters of the space-based weapon in General Howson's hands, the microwave had a longer wave-length than other electromagnetic waves used for radiant heating, such as infrared rays and far infrared rays, so it had better penetration.
The high-energy microwave could interact with the medium, causing the molecules of the medium to vibrate 2.45 billion times per second.
The friction between the molecules of the medium caused the temperature of the medium to rise, causing the interior and exterior of the medium to heat up almost at the same time, quickly forming a body heat source state.
For electronic components in operation, short-circuiting caused by high temperatures was the most common thing.
The radiation from the high-energy and ultra-strong microwave could also block all signals in all bands, causing the enemy's aircraft to be unable to use various electronic sensors to detect and receive any data!
To put it in a more understandable way, microwave weapons could not only cause electronic malfunction, but they could also blind enemy spaceships!
That was how Howson understood it. Within his knowledge, that was the only way he could understand it!
Five seconds had passed, and the red line represented by the enemy's aircraft was still tenaciously extending on the electronic map on the display screen according to the original trajectory.
"My God, who knows if our space-based microwave weapons have caused interference to the enemy?”
Nan Nan muttered to herself as General Haosen wiped the sweat off his forehead.
..........
"Captain, we are passing through a strong energy wave interference area! The frequency of the band was 2450 megaHertz, and the wave length was 2 millimeters!”
Tomcat heard the alarm from a certain spacecraft's beeper and turned to report to Zhao Xiaofeng.
Powerful energy waves were a common occurrence in the universe, including all kinds of light radiation, particle radiation, stellar storms, Y-rays, magnetic storms, substorms, sudden disturbances in the ionosphere, and so on.
These energy waves were made up of the most basic particles with infinitely small masses. (For this, please refer to the explanation of the wave-particle dualism of electromagnetic waves in the related works.)
There were many reasons for this. It could be the huge energy release from the collision of massive celestial bodies, or it could be the last elegy left by a distant star when its life was exhausted. It could even be affected by an invisible dark energy tide in a corner of the universe.
"Immediately search for the source of the energy wave and calculate the possible impact on my ship!”
Zhao Xiaofeng was a little worried. He had encountered a warning before the star exploded. If that was the case, a huge energy explosion would follow.
Although this kind of thing was not common, the universe was so big, who could say for sure?
If that was the case, the spaceship would have to adjust its flight path to stay away from the disaster.
He was not too worried about the influence of human factors.
This level of energy wave would not have any effect on the spaceship. Moreover, this kind of wave interference was very weak to him. It was impossible to break through the strong magnetic field emitted by the obstacle-clearing airship above him.
Furthermore, the exterior material of the spaceship should have a reflective coating that could reflect radiation from outer space. It could completely reflect the basic unit particles formed by this level of waveband.
"Captain, I understand. It's the energy wave emitted by this little thing!”Tomcat pointed at a small dot of light in Earth's orbit on the screen and exclaimed,""Is this a weapon?”
"Let's adjust the focus of the telescope and zoom in!”Zhao Xiaofeng ordered.
Soon, the little thing's true appearance appeared in front of Zhao Xiaofeng.
It was a ball with a diameter of three meters and a long antenna on its head.
"The principle of this thing is similar to our obstacle-clearing airship, except that it doesn't have its own power, and its power output is pitifully low!”
Tomcat looked sympathetic.""Captain, your judgment is correct. If this is the strength of the enemies on Earth, they are at least a thousand years behind us.”
"We can't be careless with Old Cat! As long as it's an enemy, we have to be 120% careful!”
Zhao Xiaofeng raised his hand and said," Fire the trap. After we capture this little thing, we'll analyze the enemy's strength from the perspective of materials science!"”
