Humanity is Using the Strangest Weapon I've Ever Seen | Best HFY Stories

Описание: When the Quor Empire sent an armada to crush humanity's first outer-system colony, their generals expected a swift demonstration of civilizational superiority. Instead, their ground forces found themselves dying to weapons their ancestors had retired as primitive centuries ago: chemically propelled metal slugs fired through simple tubes, drones no larger than a child's toy, artillery that curved shots over the planetary horizon without needing to see its target.

Zaliir, a Quor soldier crouching behind a rock over the bodies of his squad, stared at the single precise hole drilled through each of their skulls and could not make sense of it. The weapons were ancient. The aim was perfect.

The empire retreated, intending to return in a decade with better tools. They did return. Humanity had spent the ten years well.
