Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 876 Splatters blood on your face
A deliberate attack disguised as an accident?

Who?
In accordance with international practice, if anything is unclear, it will be handled in accordance with the rules.

Nothing can go wrong.

Even if it were borrowed from him, those who had the skills and courage would still be its losers.

Zhou Rui sneered in his heart, but he was quite clever. Using rocket parts to fight against porcelain, even if there were any catastrophic consequences, would still be endless wrangling.

However, he has no time to care about how bad the enemy is at the moment. He must take revenge after the disaster is over safely.

And the time is only 3 minutes left.

The countdown in my mind continues, with only 2:57 left.

At this time, Li Changping called back and informed Zhou Ruina that it was the European Space Agency's "Ariane 5 rocket", a launch vehicle targeting synchronous orbit. Of course, this was not important.

What Zhou Rui really needs is to understand the size and approximate weight of its components through its public data.
As for Li Changping being confused at this time, Zhou Rui had no time to explain.

This is the disadvantage of not being able to respond to emergencies. Half the time has passed in just one call.

The "Hall thruster" continues to work, but judging from the current trajectory calculation, it seems that it is not enough to avoid it.

The other one is more flexible and moves directly towards the bottom of the rocket component.

Time: 2:50.

If Zhou Rui did not have "mimic control", if "Nantianmen" did not have a gatekeeper like a small showerhead to remind him in time, if "Mortise and Tenon" did not have a power system.

The images captured by the camera are also fed back to the control background.

Above the dark track, the two "mortise and tenon" pieces at the front of the Nantian Gate were unlocked from the platform and flew towards the "garbage".

The most important thing is that both sides are in a state of power. The opponent's engine is still on and off, and the trajectory becomes more and more unpredictable.

It is true that there is a combination and splicing design, but this is the first time that the basic modules of Nantianmen are actively separated.
It is extremely difficult to replenish fuel in orbit, which directly affects the expansion speed and even service life of Nantianmen. Every kilogram of fuel consumed must be calculated into the future load.

But rather than pushing the entire "Nantian Gate", it seems more cost-effective to use one or two "mortise and tenon" to push it open.

But it still has to work hard. One of them, four robotic arms poked out from the front, fixed in front of the "rocket part", and the engine pushed back.
Just push it and that's it, you don't need to stop it, just let it turn.

So under Zhou Rui's instruction, Little Shower controlled the two "mortise and tenon joints" on the Nantianmen to leave the platform and actively led the rocket parts away.

This thing is really ridiculously big. It’s more than four meters in diameter and more than ten meters high.
When the two-meter-long "mortise and tenon" flies in front of it, it seems like a small bean under a big stick that can be kneaded at will.

I'm afraid Zhou Rui was riding on this rocket's face before he could get the news.

Being able to continuously adjust, I am afraid that the help of the other party's satellite is indispensable. It is really well prepared.

On the other side of the Pacific, in the secret command center of the "Orbital Car Accident", they also noticed that the speed of their "rocket components" was decreasing through telemetry data.
They do not have a visual intelligence system to provide intuitive feedback, and it is difficult to detect the two-meter-long and pitch-black "mortise and tenon joints" through ground observation. However, relying on data analysis, they can still make an accurate guess.
"This kind of deceleration, obviously something is pushing back."

"It should be the 'Rubik's Cube' that escaped from the Gate of Heaven"

"Engine afterburner! The power of a single 'Rubik's Cube' is far inferior to ours." A "competition" across the air is taking place in space.

However, just when they were full of confidence, the remote sensing signal relayed through Europe suddenly reminded them.
Engine failure.

Uh. It's a real malfunction this time, so I won't spray anymore.
On the track, the originally arrogant rocket components suddenly misfired.

At some point, a mortise and tenon joint came to its tail, and four mechanical arms stretched out, observing the surroundings.

If it were the intelligence of the mortise and tenon itself, it would probably be difficult for this unset task to be accomplished, but with the control of a small shower head, the four robotic arms began to flexibly try to destroy it.

The robotic arm banged and banged, but with little effect. After all, this was not a piece of paper. The engine part was even the strongest part on the rocket.

Finally, the small shower hesitated for a moment and looked at the fuel nozzles that were opening and closing.
The robotic arm swayed, seemingly determined.
I'll insert it!

During the gap between the switches, two of the three nozzles were drilled into the robotic arm, so there was no need to guess what structure was inside.

The deeper the better, then stir as hard as you can!

No matter how hard it is, it was obviously not thought of when designing it to prevent one hand from being penetrated.

After a brief pause, the two robotic arms merged in the flames. The hot chemical fuel directly caused the core components of the "mortise and tenon" to be scrapped, but it did seem to have an effect.

After switching on and off a few times, the two nozzles quickly malfunctioned, and a mechanical arm was separated from the small shower head to insert the third nozzle.
At this point, the rocket components finally lost power.

On the ground, Zhou Rui let out a sigh of relief
This piece of shit definitely carries more fuel than normal launch requirements, so it can be so weird. Otherwise, due to the strict pursuit of thrust-to-weight ratio in aerospace, even if there is room in the fuel tank, it will not deliberately carry excess fuel.

But it's fine now. As long as there is no power, it can be easily avoided with the pure inertia on the track.

In such a big crisis, it was totally worth it to only lose part of the fuel of three robotic arms and two mortise and tenon machines.

Of course, I am still very unhappy. The other party has set a very bad precedent by directly weaponizing civilian aerospace to attack another aerospace equipment...
Zhou Rui even had the urge to push it away and return it to the International Space Station, letting them suffer the consequences.

With the stiffness and bulkiness of the International Space Station, even gods can't save it.

But after thinking about it, I gave up this crazy idea. There are living people on the International Space Station, and not all of them are Americans and their lackeys.
This incident reminded him not to underestimate the enemy's malicious intent. Has the opponent set too many bad precedents?

More protective power is needed on the track. It seems that some of my plans have to be brought forward.

You see, I just said that what I wanted to make was "defensive" equipment, not weapons, right?
The countdown came to 0:20. With the reverse thrust of the two mortise and tenon joints and the combined effect of the Hall thruster, the rocket components and the Nantianmen no longer collided. The two big guys passed each other at a distance of about meters. .

A crisis can be considered completely resolved
Zhou Rui felt relaxed, touched the big eyeball of the small shower head, and praised: "Well done, I will open an acre of flower fields for you later! Plant roses!"

The small shower head showed a happy expression.

next moment.
I don't know what's wrong, I just know that the engine was blocked by a rocket component and the tail exploded.
Zhou Rui's smile froze on his face.

Countless fragments were scattered close at hand, and then scattered jinglingly on the Nantianmen.
Many surfaces were scratched. There was even highly toxic fuel stuck to the Nantianmen.
There is a feeling that although I can't kill you, I can splash it all over your face.

Zhou Rui's temples were jumping.
Okay, okay. This is how you play, right?
Then don't blame me.
