Volume 3 Chapter 10 The First Intimate Contact of Unfriendliness

The missile swarm launched by the six motherships no longer flew in an arc when it crossed the top of the stellar arc, and flew straight towards this fleet of just over a thousand warships like a furious yard peak. The www.biquge.info reconnaissance boat, which has been transformed into an AWACS aircraft, has transmitted the information and data of this fleet to the small intelligent brain of each missile. On average, the target fleet has dozens of missiles per ship.

The target fleet detected the attack of high-speed missiles, and did not pay attention to it at first, because such kinetic weapons had already proved to be of any real combat significance. But they soon found out that they were wrong. Because the speed of these missiles is much faster than they realize. They have also developed guided kinetic weapons for space operations before, and they have also seen other civilizations. But they had never seen a kinetic weapon with a speed of more than zero tenths of a third of the speed of light. Moreover, this kinetic weapon seems to have a certain stealth effect on the detection of light waves.

When they finally realized that it was not the weapon they knew it was, they immediately fired interceptor fire. Countless tiny laser rays stretched out of the fleet like a chain of light, heading towards the missiles.

It's just that, at such a distance, the missile's intelligent brain has absolutely time to react. After about ten seconds, the missile's flight trajectory suddenly adjusted. The universe is huge, and they only need a little maneuverability to avoid these weapons that attack in a straight line.

"Incoming kinetic weapons are intelligent, with strong detection and analysis capabilities and maneuverability. "The amphibious aliens on the target fleet had to make a prediction of complete failure in interception before the laser light they launched met the missile swarm.

Without a faster-than-light detection system, laser attacks are virtually undetectable. Because the speed of the laser is equal to the speed of light, the laser arrives at the same time as the detected signal returns to the analyzer. Therefore, in advanced civilizations, the light wave detection system is a necessary technology.

"The speed of the incoming kinetic weapon detection signal is about twenty light. "This is the judgment made by aliens based on the time of missile evasion.

An alien standing in front of the console said in a high-pitched voice, "Keep monitoring, wait for orders." "Although the speed of those attack weapons is accelerating, the acceleration is negligible, and they currently have a speed of 0.7 light, which can intercept these incoming kinetic weapons at a closer distance. It's still too far away, and interception is just a waste of energy.

And the Cafatra fleet near another star has also analyzed the origin of the enemy.

According to the results of the analysis, the report commander preliminarily determined that the source of interference was the Gutila-class command ship. ”

Talis seems to have heard very bad news. The Gutila-class command ship, named after the country, is the most powerful warship of the Guthira Empire, and it is also their pride. That's not something her fleet can deal with.

Located in the Ponrobak system, the Guthira Empire is an alien civilization developed in the colonies pioneered by the Dichatong civilization that also belongs to the Kaffatra system. They didn't have a real civilization when the Dichatong civilization opened up a colony in the Pombak system, but the war between the Dichatong civilization and the colonies gave them a chance to develop. Due to the lack of manpower in the colony, the Gutila people, who had amazing fecundity, came into the sight of the colonial authorities. They became the underlings of the Dichatong colony. It was the presence of these Gutila people that allowed the colony to struggle to sustain itself. But then the Gutilas became more and more important in the Dichatong colony. They also grew in population and eventually overthrew the Dichotun colonial authorities, fully embraced the technology and resources of the colony, and established their own empire.

That history has become a negative lesson for the civilizations of the entire galaxy cluster, warning other civilizations not to consider large-scale colonization of outer galaxies until they are unable to maintain an instant connection between the two galaxies. And because the Gutila civilization is a different civilization, it does not have much contact with other civilizations in the star cluster. Now that their Pombak system has not yet been developed, what is the ulterior purpose of appearing here?

Realizing that the other side was likely to have a conspiracy against other civilizations, she immediately ordered: "Order all warships in the fleet to launch information capsules in the direction of the mainland." "What is the purpose of the other party, she doesn't have time to analyze it now, but she must report this information.

The not too large battleship will have only ten rescue pods on the ship, all written into the intelligence, full of energy, and then throw them out.

Twenty thousand rescue pods were ejected from the hull of the ship and flew towards the center of the galaxy cluster at a speed of at least 10,000 kilometers per second. As long as they are free from the interference of Gutila's fleet, they will be able to send intelligence to the mainland. No matter how much 20,000 is intercepted, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

"Warning, the interference wave has stopped. ”

Daris stood up abruptly, and blurted out a series of quick commands: "Order the fleet to accelerate to the limit and disperse the formation." The ships made a sharp turn to the right and maneuvered with irregular ripples. ”

There was a pause in the interference, which meant that the Gutila fleet would soon attack. The purpose of active jamming pause is usually only one, that is, to form an inbound port during the short period of pause, and as long as the calculation is accurate, the outgoing port will appear exactly in the interference energy gap of the pause. When the eviction port is successfully enabled, the impact of interference on the port is no longer fatal.

In other words, it is likely that the Guthira fleet has moved closer distances. It is even quite possible that an attack has already been launched on the Kafala fleet.

The Kafala fleet was in an extremely disadvantageous situation due to strong interference and the ineffectiveness of the faster-than-light detection system. Because they will not be able to give early warning of laser light attacks. In order to avoid a possible attack, they can only do so in advance – even if the other side may not have launched the attack.

With the strength far inferior to the opponent and completely suppressed, Talis knew that this battle was unlucky. But she didn't intend to just admit defeat, even if all the only 2,000 warships under her command turned into cosmic garbage, she would make Gutila pay the corresponding price.

Only, she knew it was hard. Now she can't even judge the position of the other party, all she can do is improvise.

Inside the flagship of the Kafala fleet, the controllers have entered a state of high tension, and the situation of the fleet is constantly reported. Daris still hadn't figured out a way to bite a bite out of Gutila's fleet.

She was frowning when she suddenly heard a suspicious report from the battleship spotter: "A third-party active detection signal has been received, and the source of the signal is unknown." The signal energy level is 917 and the velocity is 933. Directions [63, 131]. ”

Dalis was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently: "Analyze the signal characteristics immediately." ”

She is well versed in the military affairs of the various civilizations in her system. There are many civilizations that can emit detection signals with an energy level of more than 1,000, but there are absolutely no speeds of 500. The speed that can only be achieved by a large satellite-based detection station after multiple acceleration at extreme power. And in this vicinity, it is impossible to have a large satellite-based detection station.

The sudden appearance of such a high level of detection signal made her wonder if there was a fleet of unknown civilizations in this star field that was more advanced than all the civilizations in the galaxy cluster. I don't know exactly what it is. But at least it can be determined that the other party's technology in energy application far surpasses that of all civilizations in the system.

It's just that this sudden appearance of civilization is friend or foe, which makes her very worried. The fleet of the Gutila Empire suddenly appeared here, and before it appeared, it was a source of interference, as if it was clear that there was a fleet of them. From the beginning, she suspected that the intelligence had been leaked. But she couldn't figure out why a fleet of such a size was here. Was it just to deal with her humble fleet?

However, the sudden appearance of a third party of unknown origin gave her a bad premonition in her heart. She wanted to report this discovery to the mainland, but it was only when she came up with the idea that she regretted that she had been in too much of a hurry to throw all the rescue pods out.

She immediately thought of the third detachment, which was speeding beyond the interference circle under the shadow of the stars: "Contact the third detachment immediately?"

It's just that the third detachment is too far away from them, and after waiting for a while, it is already more than three times the round-trip time of the radio signal, but they still haven't received a reply from the third detachment. Communications were disrupted.

Suddenly, countless pillars of blue light enveloped the fleet, and although there was a large gap between the ships, most of the pillars of light passed by. But the dense pillars of light always have the good fortune to meet the unfortunate battleship.

A battleship was hit by a pillar of light, and a brilliant blue light burst out from the protective layer, but it failed to block the pillar of light, and the middle of its hull was pierced by a pillar of light. As if nothing had happened, the battleship continued to sail forward for two seconds. Flames suddenly erupted from both sides of its middle, and the entire battleship shook at a distance, and a violent explosion began to spread from the center of the two flames, and the explosion spread faster and faster. However, it still moved forward, only soon the armor in other positions was broken through by the internal energy, and the light instantly engulfed the entire battleship.

Even though it turned into a ball of light, the battleship still moved forward, but it had become cosmic garbage. When the light is extinguished, there may be a large piece of the wreckage of the battleship left.

At the same time, it was not only this battleship that was unlucky, but more than a dozen other battleships were also hit, and most of them ended up with the same fate. Only a handful of ships were just stripped of their hulls and were lucky enough to continue sailing.

Talis soon received a report of battle damage.

The fact that her fleet was still being straddled in such irregular high-speed movement only said one thing. That is, the enemy fleet is very close to itself.

She almost commanded, "The strongest level, radio detection." The whole fleet was ordered to continue to maneuver in a disorderly manner, prepare for a polygonal maneuver, and wait for the flagship's follow-up orders. "She had to find out where the local fleet was. Otherwise, they will have to be beaten passively all the time. But until then, she has to conserve as much strength as she can.

"Order the fleet weapons to be charged to the limit. She knew that Gutila's fleet was supposed to be the main fleet, and that it was much more powerful in defense, attack, and detection than her small ships, which were equivalent to auxiliary ships. The main cannon is only possible to inflict damage on enemy ships with the maximum energy output. And in such an unfavorable situation, they will not have too many opportunities to attack, and there is no point in cherishing the main gun in this situation.

The course of the Khafatra fleet suddenly bent ninety degrees downward, and then bent forward again, and the long fleet seemed to form a huge staircase in the void. A pillar of light streaked in front of them from their original course. If they just kept heading, they will be straddled again. And this attack was only twenty seconds away from the last one.

If it is a salvo, excluding the fire energy preparation time, the distance of the opponent will not exceed ten light seconds.

This distance is a very dangerous distance - the hit rate is quite high.

The radio detection of the Khafatra fleet has finally paid off. Dariss looked at the location map displayed on the big screen, the red short line was the own fleet, this short line was surrounded by three green clusters in a fan shape, and the nearest green was only eight lightseconds away from them.

It was clear that the two attacks just now were issued by the red mass in the middle. If it weren't for Khafatla's detection technology, if it weren't for the fact that Kafatra's detection technology was still passable, once it encountered crossfire from multiple parties, it would not be known how it would die.

But by this time they were already dangerous. Perhaps, Gutila's crossfire is already on the way.

"Order the second detachment to divide into the second and third formations and meet the first and second formations of the enemy respectively. The first detachment aimed at the enemy's third formation. "Daris gave an order that would probably push the entire fleet into hell.

But she had no choice, if Gutila's three fleets were to be in the most ideal attack formation, they would be able to cross attacks without any scruples. Then, her fleet could only wait for death, and there was no way to escape. Spreading your forces to meet the enemy may be just a death throe. But maybe it can help the third detachment that is moving away to escape from the battlefield for a little more time.

In the vicinity of the seventh star of Batoya, the missiles launched by Zhuang Bifan's six motherships finally approached within ten light seconds of the Gutila fleet. Gutila's fleet finally launched another interception.

Countless tiny pillars of light thought about the missile swarm and shot away. Gutila's fleet wasn't worried about the missiles, because even if they could get close, their close defense weapons would be able to deal with them.

But they soon found themselves wrong again.

The detection boats, still hovering at the top of the star, almost immediately detected the energy reaction on the battleship Gutila, and they immediately issued a warning to the missile brain.

Missiles do not need to think about where the opponent's interceptor fire will pass, they only need to make minor adjustments in their course. All missiles are intelligent robots that are interconnected and respond in a short period of time. None of the hundreds of thousands of missiles are still flying in their own orbits or those of their companions. That is the most effective way to circumvent possible intercepting fire.

As for whether it can be avoided correctly, it depends on luck.

Although the diameter of the missile is only six meters, it is more than enough to hit such a target in a few light seconds for the fire control technology of advanced civilizations. The interceptor fire of Gutila's fleet was aimed directly at those missile launches. But again, these interception dynamisms were overwhelmingly in vain. The lasers aimed at the missiles all missed the target, but those that made mistakes hit several missiles by mistake.
