time flies!

Half a month has passed!

Two-thirds of the mission to cut the target asteroid has been completed.

The cutting process is very complicated. It does not cut directly from the middle, but cuts off the excess bit by bit.

Ma Yunlei saw that a lot of the tail of the target asteroid had been cut off.

Gradually form an elliptical surface.

According to their plan, the tail of the target asteroid is to be cut into a flat surface.

The reason why they do this is that after the cutting is completed, they need to install a propulsion device behind the asteroid to control the asteroid.

"Captain Ma, according to the current progress, we still have ten days to complete the cutting."

The assistant said to Ma Yunlei.

"As expected, our mission this time should be completed within the specified time."

Ma Yunlei said happily.

However, Ma Yunlei had just finished saying this.

The person in charge of the Predator 6 ship flying in front of the target asteroid sent a voice message.

"Captain Ma, what's wrong, there's a swarm of meteorites coming towards us right in front of us."

"Meteorites group?"

Ma Yunlei was shocked when he heard the news.

He did not expect that such an accident would occur at the critical moment.

"Predator 6, how far away are the meteorites from us?"

"1000 kilometers!"

Predator Six replied.

"So close?"

"Tell me about the meteorite group?"

"The speed of the meteorite group is 20 kilometers per second, the diameter of the entire meteorite is 50 kilometers, and the number is about 2,000..."

Ma Yunlei was suddenly shocked.

Although 1000 kilometers sounds very far, their speed is 10 kilometers per second, which is 20 kilometers per second of the meteorite group.

And for a distance of 1,000 kilometers, it only takes 33 seconds to reach them.

In addition, the diameter of the meteorite group is 50 kilometers, and the number is also very large.

It is obviously impossible for them to destroy these meteorite groups in advance.

At present, their best way is to defend, so as to protect the target asteroid from impact.

Then, Ma Yunlei ordered to all the space fleets.

"All fleets, stop cutting immediately. Form a V shape to protect the target asteroid."

"yes!"

All fleets immediately stopped the cutting mission, changed their formation, and formed a V shape to block the target asteroid.

Ma Yunlei also drove the Predator 1 spacecraft and joined the team to protect the target asteroid.

After all, the target asteroid is very large, and even if they were protected by six Predator space fleets, it would still be somewhat difficult.

After all the fleets were in place, Ma Yunlei ordered again.

"Open the protective mask."

"yes!"

The six Predator space fleets opened their protective light shields at the same time.

They form a huge light shield, blocking the target asteroid behind them.

"The meteorite swarm still has 3 seconds to impact."

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Crash!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Meteorites began to hit the defensive mask one after another, forming apertures.

In the end, the meteorite was shattered by the huge energy.

The entire meteorite group is divided into three waves.

After the first wave ended, the defensive mask almost withstood the impact of more than 500 meteorites.

During the brief interval, Ma Yunlei asked each spaceship.

"Report on the status of each defensive mask."

"The energy consumption of the Predator 2 spaceship's defense mask is 10%."

"The energy consumption of the Predator spaceship No. 3 defensive mask is 8%."

"..."

"The energy consumption of the Predator 6 spaceship defense mask is 58%."

The energy consumed by the defense masks of other Predator space fleets was around 10%, but the Predator space fleet No. 6 actually consumed 58%.

Ma Yunlei was shocked after hearing this.

"Spaceship No. 6, why does your defense mask consume so much?"

"Captain Ma, I just suffered the impact of more than 200 meteorites."

Ma Yunlei then realized that the place where the meteorites were densest was the location of Spaceship No. 6.

This resulted in its defensive mask directly consuming half of its energy.

"Spaceship No. 6, immediately switch positions with Spaceship No. 3."

Ma Yunlei ordered.

"yes!"

Subsequently, Spaceship No. 6 was moved to the far left.

This way it won't have to withstand a large area of ​​meteorite impact.

Just after Ma Yunlei changed positions, the second wave of meteorites struck.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

The dense swarm of meteorites frantically smashed towards their energy shield.

Their spaceship couldn't help but shake.

This wave of meteorites is more violent than the first wave.

The defensive mask on the No. 3 spaceship at the front was obviously very expensive.

Wait for the second wave of meteorite impacts to end.

"Report on the defensive mask situation!"

"The energy consumption of the Predator 2 spaceship's defense mask is 48%."

"The energy consumption of the Predator spaceship No. 3 defense mask is 71%."

"..."

"The Predator 6 spaceship's defense mask consumes 66%."

From the reports on the defense masks of each fleet, fortunately, Ma Yunlei just adjusted the positions of spaceships No. 3 and No. 6 in time.

Otherwise, the No. 6 spaceship that was originally at the front would definitely be destroyed by the impact of the second wave of meteorites.

This time, Ma Yunlei put the No. 4 spaceship with the least consumption of defensive masks at the front.

Spaceship No. 3, which consumed the most, was sent directly to the far right position.

The third wave of meteorites arrived as promised.
