Above Loshen Star, Tom's heart was chillingly cold.
The probe's true close-range observation lasted only a very short time. But that brief period of observation was enough for him to understand a lot of information.
His opponent was very strong.
This was not only evident from their ability to build larger spaceships, but also from their propulsion technology.
Human Civilization had already mastered ion propulsion technology and had applied it on a relatively large scale.
The principle of this technology is to first ionize the propellant—that is, the substance ejected to propel the spacecraft through recoil—and then, with the help of an electromagnetic field, accelerate the propellant ions to an extremely high speed before ejecting them from the nozzle.
