Chapter 184 Bugs, we are just bugs!
The four people who first came into contact with the water droplet had no chance of seeing the second halo appear.

Because, when the first halo appeared, the water droplets burst into extremely high temperatures, almost as high as the core of the sun, vaporizing them in an instant!

Real-world viewers watch through the live studio camera.

Players in the Three-Body World view things from the perspective of the system.

They clearly saw that the hull of the Mantis battleship was emitting a red light, just like the candle in a lantern was lit!
then.

The metal hull began to melt like wax!
"collapse!!"

Just as the melting began, the exploration warship exploded!

Moreover, this was a completely different explosion from previous ones, because the Mantis did not produce any solid debris due to the explosion!

The entire metal of the ship turned into incandescent liquid and scattered in space! .
In this scenario,

It just stunned everyone.

Those who had high hopes for the space battleship fleet and believed that they could easily defeat the Three-Body World under the leadership of Shenhe were in a trance.
【What on earth is this? 】

【Water drops, water drops! 】

[Just now I thought Ding Yi was crazy because of his research. How could he suddenly say such a ridiculous thing? Now it seems that I am the stupid one! ]

[No, such a large warship is gone just like that? ]

【I really don’t understand! 】

[Destroying you is none of your business. The more I think about this, the colder my back gets!]

[You have to know that the Trisolaran fleet is still several light years away from the solar system! The water droplets are just space probes they sent over!]

[A tiny space probe directly destroyed the space battleship that human civilization had carefully researched. The disparity in strength is too great! ]

[This is just a small exploration warship. This is just a small exploration warship! ]

【Yes! 】

[The combat power of the Mantis is insignificant in the space fleet of the Human Alliance Army. It is not even one percent of the Future Spark! ]

[Water drops can only bully small things like this. 】

[Don't forget! The commander of this space fleet is Shenhe, the leader of a civilization higher than the Trisolaran civilization! ]

The horror of the water droplets refreshed everyone's cognition, and they all discovered that they seemed to have underestimated the Three-Body Civilization!

but.

It is inevitable that there will be some stubborn people who continue to speak in the live broadcast room.

They believed that the crash of the Mantis was just an accident. After all, the speed at which the water droplets moved and their attack methods were too incredible!
the more important thing is,

The human alliance army believed that the water droplets were small gadgets sent by the Three-Body World for negotiations.

It is not defended!

That's why there was a sudden attack from the water droplets on the Mantis!
With the lessons learned from the past, the space fleet will definitely be able to guard against the next attack of the water droplets, and it will not be possible for it to destroy any space battleships again!
.
"What a pity. We all thought that the water drop was a negotiation tool sent from the Three-Body World. We didn't expect..."

The space fleet clearly observed the sudden explosion of the Mantis a thousand kilometers away.

this moment,
Everyone's first reaction was that the water drop self-destructed.

They were all saddened by the sacrifices of the people who died on the Mantis, and then disappointed that the droplet was not a peacemaker.

"Get ready."

"Since the water droplets are the attack devices of the Trisolaran World, our space forces should also defend themselves."

"The crash of the Mantis is a signal, a signal for all mankind to be alert!"

“None of us knows if there will be other attack devices after the water drop!”

The Wallfacer, Kamigata, who also served as the fleet commander, quickly issued orders.

The space fleet begins to activate its defensive posture!
They are prepared to use two hundred years of technological development to deal with the water droplets, and thus start the first battle with this strange civilization!
"Report!"

However, at this moment, exclamations suddenly came from within the fleet.

The staff in charge of the detection equipment suddenly reported the abnormal phenomenon: "The fleet space detection system computer found an abnormality!"

"There's something wrong with the image of the Mantis after it exploded!"

"While most of the debris is molten metal and is flying at a constant speed in space after the explosion, only this one piece is accelerating!"

"Computers can't predict the impact this piece of debris will have!"

"so,"

"It can only be marked as a Level 3 attack warning!"

Shenhe did not pay attention to the content of the staff member's report, because the third-level attack warning is a very low level in the danger warning set by the space fleet!

and.

Judging from the images given by the computer.

This piece of debris was not coming directly towards the fleet, it was flying towards a corner of the rectangular array!

Follow the direction of computer operation.

The debris will pass outside the array and will not hit any targets in the fleet!

Among the large number of level one warnings triggered by the Mantis explosion, this small level three warning was ignored by everyone.

just
No one, including Kamikawa, would realize it.

This little piece that they ignored.

This minor level 3 warning that they ignored will bring a fatal blow to the space fleet in the coming period!
.
Under Shenhe’s orderly arrangement.

The space fleet is in full defensive posture to meet the incoming enemy!

All warships, large and small, led by the Spark of the Future, are ready and fully charged!

However.
Suddenly, the computer reported another warning to the same testing staff.

This was not a completely new warning due to the Mantis explosion.

But
The second level danger warning was upgraded from the initial third level danger warning!
"Alarm! Alarm!"

"The fragment is still accelerating, its speed has increased significantly compared to before!"

"After flying over 300 kilometers, the speed of the fragments has exceeded the third speed of the universe, and the acceleration is still continuing!"

"The system has raised the danger warning to level 2!"

Level 2!

In just a few seconds, this small danger warning level was actually raised to level two!

Inexplicably.

The staff member in charge of the testing felt nervous.

He had a very bad feeling.

This little gadget that is still accelerating will cause unpredictable damage to the fleet in a very short time!

It turns out.

The staff member's unwarranted panic was correct.

because,

What he feared happened soon.
The fragments flew a total of 1,500 kilometers from the explosion point to the array, which took 50 seconds.

When it reaches a corner of the array.

The speed has reached 31.7 kilometers per second!

At this time.

The debris is at the periphery of the array.

The first battleship [Infinite Frontier] that is in this rectangular state is one hundred and sixty kilometers away!
The fragments did not fly through the rectangular array as the computer predicted, but instead turned a sharp angle of thirty degrees and rushed towards the Infinite Frontier without slowing down at all! !
