There is no escape from a supersonic assault.
This conclusion was reached by "Salamander" after both simulation tests and real combat. In the face of 2.5 Mach, all actions are meaningless, not to mention fleeing or hiding, even understanding the situation and reacting is difficult. Other than watching death approach, there's nothing else to be done.
No need for tricks, just use the simplest and most effective tactics to quickly eliminate the target—this was the conclusion reached by the AI of "Salamander." Theoretically speaking, this indeed is the most rational choice.
However, there is always a subtle deviation between humans and "rationality."
This is what "Salamander" will learn in the future. The month-old AI has not yet understood this point, so it is destined to pay a hefty tuition fee for this lesson.
