After leaving this K5-type star field controlled by the Soros consortium, the "Tempest" continued to move on to the next target, reaching the second target field just over a day later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This time, the target is exactly what Furs described, a K1-type star about 40 light-years away from Taimei, in its orbit 8 astronomical units from the star is a huge gaseous dark red Jupiter, with a space city in orbit L4 and L5 in its orbit.

According to Foers's observations, the GMP project laboratory is located at the L4 location, so the "Tempest" only needs to investigate the L4 space city.

According to the preliminary investigation by the intelligence officers of the Awa-Ker New Americas, the space city is owned by a medium-sized trading company in UAC and is used as a warehouse and logistics base. On paper, the company operates independently, and there is no direct or indirect connection between its main business and the NO member consortium.

Because it is a private space city of the company, Awa-Ker cannot enter the investigation and collect evidence at will, and even getting close to this space city will attract attention. And if you want to send the Awakened to infiltrate this company, it will take too long to pass on the news, and it will not be able to meet the current needs at all, so the "Storm" can only investigate it personally.

In fact, if this was really the place where Furs was staying, Awa-Ker hastily sent a spaceship to get closer, but failed to take immediate action, probably by the time the Storm arrived, the other party would have gone to the empty city. And it is even more impossible to send someone to get in, and the GMP project, as the project with the highest level of secrecy, would not have been aware of it until now if it weren't for the appearance of Foers and others. Imagine how such a project with a high level of secrecy as high as the sky would allow people of unknown origin to work in this space city.

So far, Awa-Ker has been able to eliminate all the space cities that are easy to get into, and what has been left for Storm and Furs is hard to bite. These space cities may not necessarily be GMP project laboratories, but they certainly hide some secrets.

It's like having one in front of you.

Storm exited curvature flight behind Jupiter, using its massive star as a shield to release a high concentration of R particles into optical invisibility. At the same time, with the help of planetary gravitational traction, the battleship was kept at a high speed of 20,000 kilometers per second to complete the turn, and quietly flew to the L4 space city.

L4 Space City is as far away as the planet from the planet and the star, in this case 8 astronomical units, and it will take nearly 17 hours for Tempest to fly at its current speed.

If this space city is really a secret base of NO, there will definitely be large energy sensors to monitor the nearby airspace for high concentrations of R particles to disperse, so it will inevitably detect the attack of the "Storm" in advance.

Normally, it would be more efficient to fly directly to the edge of Space City with curvature, but considering that the "Tempest" will not see the light of day in the New American galaxy, it would be safer to approach it stealthily. Even if it will be discovered by the other party and prepare for the battle in advance, but for Fengyu, try not to toss things that can be solved by fighting.

However, after nearly 15 hours of flying to a distance of only one astronomical unit from the space city, the airspace was still as calm as ever, and the company did not react at all, as if they had not spotted the Storm at all.

If this was a temptation from an ordinary human, then the other party's cover-up was undoubtedly successful. After scaring the snake to no avail, the general tempter will choose to leave quietly.

However, the "Storm" is neither a tempter nor an ordinary person's spaceship, and under Luo Yunxi's "reconnaissance" ability, the secrets in the space city are nowhere to be hidden.

As the awakened person with the farthest distance of Awa-ker's spiritual power, Luo Yunxi's "reconnaissance" may not be professional enough, but its practicality is unparalleled. There was still a full astronomical unit away from the target, and during the routine direction calibration, her spiritual power had extended into the interior of the space city, and she immediately discovered the strangeness in the space city, "I found that the mobile suits were assembled, the number of which was 20, including a prototype. ”

Through the psychic imaging system, Luo Yunxi played the counterclockwise airport of the space city and the mobile suits assembled inside, so that the commanders in the bridge could get a glimpse of what was going on.

It stands to reason that a space city guarded by mobile suits usually means that there is a military industry, or a strategic resource, or an ultra-high-value material store. Other than that, only security companies have a lot of Mobile Suits.

The cost of maintaining a squad of mobile suits is not low, and the maintenance costs of mobile suits, the salary of pilots, and the operating expenses of logistics support teams are very high, enough to exhaust the daily revenue of a medium-sized company.

In general, there will be a mobile suit on a certain merchant ship, which is temporarily hired from a security company or labor company, and is responsible for ensuring the garrison of the ship in the event of pirates, which is different from the mobile team of escort warships.

The reason for the emergence of this mode of operation is related to the tactics of the pirates. Sometimes, when pirates find that they are clearly inferior to caravans or do not have sufficient advantages, they will resort to devastating attacks on individual ships, causing them to lose power and drop anchor in space.

The caravan couldn't have been delayed for one or two ships, and it was very dangerous to stay put, and who knows if more pirates would swarm like sharks that smell blood. Therefore, the caravan usually chooses to leave the ship behind and continue the voyage. At this point, the pirates were able to take possession of the cargo on the abandoned ship.

In order to deal with this tactic, the best thing to do is to bring a mobile suit with you on your ship, and when the pirates are ready to resort to destructive tactics, they will naturally pick on the soft bones and bully and let these merchant ships guarded by mobile suits go.

And if the pirate strength is obviously stronger than the caravan, these mobile suits with the ship will be sent to assist the escort warships to fight together, which can be said to be the best use.

These are all digressions, and the question at hand is the number of mobile suits in this space city. 20 planes is 4 squads, and there is also a quasi-ace in charge, which is stronger than the escort invited by the caravan that the "Tempest" came to the New American Galaxy to protect and join.

Judging from the information obtained by the Awa-Ker investigation, the trading company that owns the space city simply cannot afford to raise as many as 20 mobile suits, and of course there is no need.

The presence of such a large number of armed forces in the UAC native New American Galaxy, which has not been at war for decades, is clearly an abnormal situation. If this is a secret industry belonging to the UAC government or military, there is no need to put troops in the new pirate-free galaxy to defend it.

So there's only one possibility, this space city belongs to no or something like that. To say that there is an organization similar to NO, there is really one of the information that Awa-ker has, but it is too weak in terms of size and strength, and it can be said that it is not worth mentioning compared to NO.

This is actually a brain-dead organization privately made up by the idle second ancestors of some big conglomerates with their own pocket money, to put it bluntly, it is a small group of arrogant guys, low eyes, and ambitions. They fantasize about being the powerful driving force behind governments like the Freemasons of the old days, the uncrowned kings of the space age.

For such a small threat, Awa-Ker only maintained the necessary attention and did not engage in more contact and conflict with the other party. As the director of Awa-Ker, Fengyu has also read the archives in this area, and has a certain understanding of this self-proclaimed "Stellar Society", and knows that the main area of activity of this organization is in the New American galaxy, the native of the UAC.

However, judging from the current situation of this space city, it doesn't look like the style of the "Stellar Society", and those Second Ancestors like to play the high style of "Great Hidden Dynasty", and they will not hide in this K-shaped star field equivalent to the junction of urban and rural areas.

Considering that less than 5 light-years away is the K5-type star field owned by the Soros consortium, this is typical of the NO style. In recent years, Fengyu has continuously attacked the two star fields of "Edge of the World" and "Cornucopia", and there are private star fields of NO core members nearby, as a nearby protection, and to avoid being in the same star field with these sensitive industries or facilities, which will attract the attention of the government.

So, this can only be the territory of NO.

Judging from the location of this star field in the core economic circle of the "American Dream", it can neither be used as a military base like the "edge of the world" of the Milky Way, nor can it be used as a super-valuable strategic resource like the "cornucopia" star field of the new Asian galaxy.

The information obtained from Luo Yunxi's further "investigation" also confirmed Fengyu's inference. Except for the massive accumulation of cargo, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this space city.

However, considering that NO actually sent a full 20 mobile suits to guard here, it is enough to prove that the goods hoarded in this space city must be of high value.

Faced with this situation, Fengyu couldn't help but hesitate, "To fight or not to fight?" ”

It's a pity to say that you don't fight. UAC has very strict control over the homeland, and Awa-Ker can be said to have no military power here, so if the "Storm" comes to the new American galaxy, if you don't take this opportunity to strike at NO, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.

But Fengyu is very clear that the focus of the "Storm" trip is to deal with NO's GMP project, and if it messes up the task because of extraneous branches, it will be more than worth the loss.

As for the question of whether to fight or not, he needs the "Storm" think tank to make a good sum up and assess whether it will have a negative impact on the mission of this trip.
