   This one! Real scientific research! Not just empty boasting. There are some plot twists, but mostly involving international rivalries like the CIA. After all, reading should be enjoyable! I'm recommending it because the author is a physics teacher at a top high school, a graduate of a C9 university. His writing style is very accessible and easy to understand; even someone as clueless as me can grasp a lot of the physics concepts, and it's still very entertaining! ⚠️I'm sure, because I once scored a 7 on a physics test... Feel free to come back and criticize me if you don't like it.

   This is a research paper from that era, featuring a young man named Xiao Dai Mao conducting various studies. He points out the correct direction to the research that was previously misled and blocked by the "Big Brother" (a derogatory term for Mao Zedong) and his ilk. The various senior figures in the paper show great care and concern for their juniors. It also recounts many unknown heroic deeds (scientists, soldiers, workers, etc.), Which are particularly moving. It even covers the successful launch of the "Miss" (a fictional spacecraft). Many of the research projects are interconnected, with collaboration across different fields. Xiao Dai Mao often comes up with brilliant ideas on a whim, while others are constantly burdened by confidentiality agreements due to his influence.

    "Fire." That wasn't a sound. It was light inflicting its ultimate punishment on darkness. Twenty-four incandescent strikes fell simultaneously, like the final crack in God's eyes as he closed them. The Eldoran destroyer exploded. It wasn't fireworks; it was the final, silent dance of steel and life in a vacuum. Two ships, three minutes. From existence to wreckage, it was as fast as if the universe itself had denied them their right to exist. Eric's gaze was fixed on the afterimage of energy, his chest still churning with the fervor of firing. The sleepless night three months ago, when he "accidentally hit a civilian ship" during a simulated battle, suddenly crashed into his mind. Raymond's words, "Hesitation is cruelty to comrades," now burned like a red-hot iron in his eardrums. He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white and stiff—even his breath was suffocating with the smell of rust. This relentless war of racial fusion, from this moment on, had officially begun. The surviving Iron Dome reconnaissance ships went mad. They pushed their photon momentum engines to the brink of melting, like scalded insects crashing into the nearest asteroid belt—not tactical evasion, but a biological instinct to flee from death. When the news struck Razer's eardrums, he seemed to hear the sharp crack of shattering glass inside his skull. Two patrols. Simultaneously. Lost contact. Not an encounter, not a war of attrition—it was a surgical removal, precise to the second. He knew this method all too well: this wasn't plunder, it was elimination. "Main force..." His throat tightened, forcing out three words, his fingers already reaching for the communications panel. Too late. On the screen, the green lights representing the reconnaissance ships went out one after another. Not flickering or struggling, but turning directly into cold gray—as if erased from the cosmic list by something. He could even picture the scene: the reconnaissance ships crashing into the shadows of the asteroid belt, thinking they'd found hiding places, only to be met head-on by the light that was already waiting there. A laser flashed, and its outer shell collapsed and tore inward like an eggshell struck by a giant hammer. Air and loose debris inside, under the frenzied suction of the vacuum, gushed out from the breach, forming a jet of instantly frozen ice crystals and fragments. Search "Lone Voyage" to read the full text! A hardcore battle between the Covenant and the Iron Dome, every chapter is filled with explosive combat and suspenseful plot twists. The subsequent desperate counterattacks and victories against overwhelming odds are even more thrilling. Space war fans, charge in!
