Hobbes's destruction will turn this beautiful city into ruins in just one second.

Sixteen laser beams were fired at the meteorite, accurately aiming at the speeding meteorite.

The white meteorite turned red, then white, hot white.

Two suns, shining simultaneously in the blue sky.

Less than 500 meters above the ground, the city ceased to exist after 0.04 seconds.

There are still 250 meters to go.

The sun, which was flying at high speed, exploded during the flight and exploded into countless fragments, shining with golden light and piercing the ground from all directions.

The debris hit the building and the ground at the same time, sending smoke and dust rising one after another.

The main part of the city is still there, but many buildings have been smashed with holes, some have collapsed entirely, and some have partially collapsed.

The breeze blew away the smoke and dust, and dense impact craters appeared on the ground.

UAV control room at a US military base 500 kilometers away.

The operators personally destroyed the boulder monsters that wreaked havoc in many places, and witnessed laser weapons burning meteorites.

This is something worth celebrating. Humanity will win.

Everyone took off their VR glasses, stood up and gave high fives to celebrate, and opened champagne...

The strong smell of champagne filled the control room.

As soon as the champagne was brought to the mouth, the main screen in the control room began to shake. Do they want to drink champagne too?

Every surveillance screen is shaking.

The picture flips irregularly, and finally freezes, either on the ground or in the sky, or at a certain angle, or the signal is lost.

The drone crashed. There is no doubt that all drones crashed. There was no sign or warning beforehand.

There were no soldiers, no observers, no humans.

In high-tech warfare, humans are no longer needed at the scene. People can participate in battles as if they were on-site commanders thousands of kilometers away.

But now, all remote control equipment has failed.

The command center urgently connected to the satellite signal.

Through satellite signals, static images are provided every 3 minutes.

The content of the screen showed that a tornado struck Hobbes.

The terrifying tornado was as large in diameter as the city of Hobbs.

Buildings collapsed, roofs were lifted, trees were broken, and cars were overturned. Unmanned tanks were swaying here and there.

Hobbes was still in ruins.

In the control room, the operator held up champagne and saw the satellite picture. His eyes widened and his smile slowly disappeared.

The champagne was put back, and people quickly returned to their respective posts, put on VR glasses, and tried to control the remote devices again.

In vain, of course, it is in vain.

…

34 minutes later, the drone reconnaissance aircraft appeared over Hobbs again.

This time, same plane, same location.

The difference is that things and people here have long since changed. Half an hour ago, the quiet and beautiful town was now in ruins.

The Lighthouse Country is located in the Western Hemisphere, where the sun last sets. The unknown civilization chose to attack during the day, which gave the Lighthouse Country 12 hours more preparation time.

12 hours is enough for them to organize the evacuation.

The Lighthouse Country deserves to be the most powerful country, able to do so much work in 12 hours.

Although Hobbes was in ruins, there were no casualties, not a single one.

The drone continues to take aerial pictures and collect various data.

What it looked like after the tornado struck is what it looks like now.

Washington, Pentagon, secret meeting room.

All information about Hobbes' War has reached the hands of military analysts.

Except for the screen information, other data is blank.

Radar, infrared, electromagnetic radiation...all these conventional data are blank.

No one knows whether the other party does not use radar, electric equipment, or communication equipment. Or they use higher electromagnetic shielding technology.

Experts tend to believe that they use quantum communication technology that we have not yet fully mastered. Therefore, their communication signals have not been intercepted.

The next question is why the giant stone monster was not destroyed by the bomb. This is the part that experts are most interested in.

When I first watched the video, there was nothing unusual. The bomb indeed exploded next to the giant rock monster. The monster did not suffer any damage, and not even a single fragment was produced.

This makes people even more curious.

Determined to find out the cause, they began to view the explosion footage frame by frame, which was an ultra-high-definition image shot at a frame rate of 3,600. A three-second explosion video contains 10,800 images.

A task that requires extreme patience. There are hundreds of similar pictures with only a few pixels difference, and each picture requires two high-definition monitors to display it perfectly without scaling.

Time passed by second by second, without any flaws.

The boulder monsters performed flawlessly. Is it true that no one knows how they avoid explosive attacks?

Read the pictures in normal order and then again backwards.

The viewer was about to fall asleep, and his eyes were a little blurry, so blurry that he couldn't see whether there was a giant rock monster in the picture.

The expert rubbed his eyes. There really were no giant rock monsters in these pictures. Where had they gone?

is in the screen.

Indeed, they are still in the same frame, but appear in the lower left corner of the screen.

If you turn forward a few pictures in a row, they are still in the same place. If you turn a few pictures backward, they are still in the same place.

In all these abnormal pictures, the target monster was photographed in only two places, with no transition in between.

In other words, they teleported. After the explosion, at the moment when the shock wave was about to hit them, they teleported.

And this point in time is a theoretical point without any thickness.

In layman's terms, teleportation consumes 0 time.

Then, after the explosion shock wave completely left its original body position, it teleported back again.

The whole process takes less than one hundredth of a second, which is far beyond the human eye frame rate (24 frames). For example, if an object disappears in front of your eyes and comes back twenty-four seconds later, you cannot see it.

has disappeared.

Such a moving speed consumes a lot of energy and requires sufficient force to push it. However, no movement deformation due to force can be seen from the image.

The problems and doubts don't stop there. Another obvious thing is why they are suspended in the air without being affected by gravity and inertia.

Experts currently have no clue. Some of these technologies are at least a hundred years ahead of humankind.

To realize them, it is definitely not enough to achieve a breakthrough in some secret military technology. It requires the progress of the entire basic physical science, and it is only possible with theoretical support and experimentally verified technology.

There was an interval of 239 years between Newton's discovery of universal gravitation in 1666 and Einstein's special theory of relativity in 1905.

It has been 123 years since it was proposed. Based on this simple estimate, the next major theoretical breakthrough has not yet arrived.

Even if a theoretical breakthrough is achieved, it will still take time to produce usable equipment.

For example, it took 11 years from Newton's publication of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" in 1687 to the invention of the steam engine in 1698.

Can mankind wait until this day?
