Chapter 13: Cornucopia

UAC didn't know about this K-shaped star field in China, so I didn't even name it for secrecy, so Awa-Ker privately nicknamed it "Cornucopia". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's a fitting name, all metals, no matter how cheap they are, but when it comes to rare isotopes, it's a treasure. With the help of a supernova explosion, this ordinary K-shaped star field has been transformed into a "cornucopia".

After entering the "cornucopia" star field, the "Tempest" immediately focused on the four metal refineries in the orbits of the third and fourth planets. Rare isotopes of various metals, including 52Ti, are produced here, but Awa-Ker's intelligence agents can't infiltrate these space cities, so it's unclear what good things are in each refinery.

"Tempest" is a destroyer, not a transport ship, and its carrying capacity is very limited. Even after a month's voyage, the supplies in the supply compartment have been almost depleted, and a lot of storage capacity has been vacated, but there will not be much more resources to be looted.

In the hands of the logistics chief Lao Qiu, there is a detailed list of 18 rare isotopes led by 52ti as priority items to collect.

So judging from the current situation, it is necessary for Fengyu to sweep all the four space cities to confirm where the good things are.

Because of the geographical location of the "cornucopia" star field, Admiral No and Goering never imagined that Awa-Ker would find this place in advance, just as they did not expect the "edge of the world" to be attacked in the first place.

On the other hand, the so-called pirates of the New Asian Galaxy do not have the independence of the New African Galaxy in the true sense, and are all operated by the New Asian Republic or Admiral Goering behind the scenes, aiming to harass the other side's civilian facilities and civilian ships.

Such pirates do not fly to the far rear of Dijing 93 light-years away, and most of them haunt the front barrier, attacking merchant ships in the main channel and nearby star fields.

All in all, if it weren't for the intelligence officers of Awa-ker who discovered the secrets of the "cornucopia", no one would have come here at all. Therefore, it is impossible for Admiral Goering to arrange a local garrison here, and once a regular army is arranged, it is impossible to hide it from the UAC. And I don't want to station too many troops here, because doing so will attract attention and not be conducive to secrecy.

And less than 10 light-years away from the "cornucopia", there is another semi-public source of strategic resources, which is registered by the UAC and has a local garrison fleet. If the "cornucopia" really encounters an irresistible attack, it can also call there for help.

Therefore, there are only 5 obsolete old warships in the "cornucopia" star field, and they are mainly used for escort purposes. And these four metal refinery space cities are also built according to the standards of semi-fortresses, with not weak defensive firepower, if there is no strong ace pilot to lead, the general second-line fleet will not be able to attack these semi-fortresses in a short time.

In the final analysis, Admiral Goering and NO's defensive measures against the "cornucopia" star field are still aimed at warships, and they are still backward defensive ideas in the era of big ships and huge guns, and they can't be adjusted in time for a while.

It was in this situation that the "Tempest" came. In Fengyu's eyes, a half-fortress without an ace pilot stationed is undefended for him, and there is one to cut one by one. Even if the other party has an ace pilot, in fact, the difference will not be too big, and after cutting the other party, it is still equivalent to no defense.

Although the "Tempest" is invincible to the "cornucopia" star field, Morgan still advises Fengyu to keep a low profile and not expose the destroyer's appearance. This suggestion is very reasonable, and Fengyu is not like he will encounter unnecessary trouble when he is about to leave the New Asia System at that time, so the two of them are on the same page, and they are not affected by the previous disagreement on whether to attack the New Asia.

Finding a suitable entry point, the "Tempest" flew directly behind the fifth planet in curvature, and then entered a state of optical stealth here for the final leg of the voyage.

In fact, since the "Tempest" entered the internal airspace of the "Cornucopia" star field, the four metal refinery space cities have already discovered that strange ships have entered the star field. In fact, it is not surprising that the energy response of a ship flying at a curvature is as striking as a light in the dark for a high-power energy sensor.

In those lively star fields where ships come and go, who knows if there are unfamiliar spaceships in so many curvature flight energy reactions. But in the geographically remote "cornucopia", the energy reaction of each ship attracts their attention.

So when the "Tempest" hid in the back of the fifth planet to avoid being seen by the other party, the "cornucopia" defense chief had already listed this world as an enemy attack, and sent the five warships to the fifth planet to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible.

Yes, this kind of thing "cornucopia" is not the first time it has been encountered, and the same measures are taken every time. For them, this is a star field that needs to be kept absolutely secret from the outside world, as long as the ship that comes is not sent by NO or Admiral Goering, whether it is intentional snooping or mistaken, whether it is a pirate or a civilian spaceship, they will all be sunk on the spot, and they will not let go of a single living mouth.

In the detection of energy sensors, there is one ship that has entered the "cornucopia", and it is already a very prudent decision for the defense chief to possess the battleship in one breath, and there will definitely be no accidents.

However, it is inevitable to encounter ghosts when walking too much at night, and it is inevitable to encounter retribution for doing too many bad things. If they didn't encounter an accident this time, it must have been Fengyu deliberately releasing water.

It is impossible for Fengyu to release water on NO, so the fate of these five battleships was already sealed from the beginning.

Luo Yunxi originally planned to bypass the fifth planet and approach the nearest fourth planet, L5, but when she discovered through "reconnaissance" that the other party actually took the initiative to attack, she immediately reported the situation to Fengyu and Captain Morgan.

For this kind of military matter, Captain Morgan didn't want to overstep his bounds, so he let Fengyu make his own decisions.

For this kind of thing, Fengyu, who is familiar with it, basically doesn't need to think, "Since they can't think about it like this, we will fulfill them." Don't move the Tempest, wait where you are, we'll annihilate them on the back of Planet Five!" If this battle is not necessary, I will not attack, you four will go. ”

Hearing the news, Valkyrie was the happiest, and the thought of being able to face five battleships and their mobile suits with the strength of four people made the warlike Viking girl excited.

That's a lot of crashes!

It is said that since the relationship with Valkyrie was established, Hong Juxing's bet with her has been invalidated, and since then he has been willing to be the green leaf by her side, and he will protect his lover with "Bi Flash" in battle. Since then, the rate at which his crash count has risen has slowed down significantly, and he is also a good man who is willing to sacrifice for love.

However, Feng Yu did not point fingers at Hong Juxing's choice, but let him go. In the opinion of this stream-of-consciousness superace, a qualified stream-of-consciousness must first have a very good view of the overall situation, not only taking care of his own battles, but also taking into account the situation of friendly forces on the battlefield.

Hong Juxing is doing this now, sacrificing only the indicator of the number of falls, but what he improves is his ability to control the overall situation, Fengyu not only does not object, but still supports it in his heart.

Moreover, Hong Juxing was still more careful, and after hearing Fengyu's arrangement, he immediately began to think like a mature stream-of-consciousness ace, and then asked his own questions, "May I ask Captain Luo, what class are these five warships?" How many mobile suits are on board? ”

Luo Yunxi knew that Feng Yu intended to cultivate Hong Juxing's battlefield control and interpretation ability, so he cooperated very well to obtain relevant information for him through "reconnaissance", "One main order star capital ship, two comet-class destroyers, and two giant star destroyers are all old models, and they can carry a total of 7 mobile squads. ”

The ratio of forces between the two sides is 1:5 for battleships and 4:35 for mobile suits.

Hong Juxing smiled slightly when he heard this, "It seems to be quite easy." ”
