"The other party has changed course!"

The bridge of the flagship of the fleet, Bai Mei received a report from his subordinates and did not hesitate to give the order of the fleet to adjust the course, when the course was adjusted, the distance between the fleet and the Pioneer spacecraft was shortened, and this result made him a little proud.

"Look at this fool, how is it possible that he is actually going to change course to get rid of us." Bai Mei pointed his finger on the star chart in front of the table, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Excellency, do we have to pursue this ship?" An officer asked.

"What? Don't you think it's necessary? Bai Mei tilted his head to him and asked rhetorically.

The officer hesitated a little and said: "Your Excellency, our fleet has a mission, and the other party's spaceship is just a temporary encounter, and we have not encountered such a spaceship along the way, but you ...... it." ”

"You know I'm making a fuss?" Bai Mei asked rhetorically.

The officer nodded silently, in fact, in his heart, not only did he think that the commander was making a fuss about chasing this improvised spaceship with the strength of a fleet, but he even felt that it was not worth the loss at all. And now they have affected the plan of the previous mission, and if the mission fails for this reason, as a member of the fleet, they will inevitably be held responsible.

"Hehe......." Bai Mei smiled and shook his head: "Do you think the other party is very simple?" No! This ship is not simple! Haven't you seen it until now? ”

"Isn't it easy? Do you mean the curvature technology of this spacecraft? This, I admit, is surprisingly mature in their curvature technology, but we ...... just because of that? ”

"No!" Before the officer could finish speaking, Bai Mei interrupted him: "This is on the one hand, and the more important point is the reaction of the other party after the first communication contact with us. As soon as we were connected, we had just revealed our identities, and before we could finish the rest of the conversation, the ship immediately cut off the communication, and then turned around and fled in a high-speed curvature. Don't you think that's a bit weird? ”

"This ...... Maybe the other party is the spaceship of the Keda civilization, and there are even people from the Keda civilization on it, and we borrowed the Keda civilization and were recognized by them, so there is such a reaction? The officer had considered this issue, and immediately said the guess in his heart, but who would have thought that his words made Bai Mei shake his head again and again.

"No, no, no. Absolutely not. Bai Mei denied the judgment of his subordinates, and he said with confidence: "If it is the situation you said, then there are two most correct ways for the other party." ”

"Those two?"

"First, the other party immediately exposed our lies about using the Keda civilization, and at the same time demanded that we show our true identities." Bai Mei raised a finger and said.

"And what about the second one?" The officer thought for a moment that would indeed be the case if he were in the other side's situation, and then then asked.

Bai Mei continued to raise a second finger: "The second way is to pretend not to know, use communication to stabilize us, and then find a way to escape while we let our guard down." ”

"It's ......." The officer nodded silently, admitting that the second way was better than the first. And it's also more reasonable.

Bai Mei sneered, put down his hand and said, "But how did the other party react?" Isn't it strange that the other party reacted by cutting off the communication and then escaping without hesitation? ”

"What do you mean......?"

"It's very simple, this unidentified spaceship is very likely to know us, and it is more likely that it knows in advance what we will do next, I can't imagine any other possibility than this explanation, and it is also because of this reason that they will behave in such an abnormal way."

"This is not possible!" The officer was surprised. He immediately said: "Your Excellency, this is absolutely impossible! How could they possibly know about our mission. How can it be possible to tell what we will do? ”

"Yes! It's a bit impossible, but now that the facts are in front of you, do you think there's any other explanation for this possibility? Bai Mei asked coldly, but his brows were also slightly wrinkled.

You must know that their mission is top secret, and the content of the mission is also extremely important, let alone ordinary people. Not even their fellow civilians knew it. What's more, their fleet has traveled countless light-years from the middle of the galaxy, and how could an unidentified ship know their purpose in this barren airspace?

But Bai Mei's thinking these days made him finally make this judgment, he judged that this possibility was extremely high, otherwise the other party would not have such a strange reaction. There is an even stranger circumstance. That is, the curvature technology used by this unknown spaceship is surprisingly mature, you must know that with the technology of their civilization, they have already stepped into the ranks of advanced cosmic civilizations with half a foot, but even so, the fleet's warships still can't catch up with the other party's speed in the state of high-speed curvature, if it weren't for the fact that the other party needs to take into account various avoidance factors in the universe in the escape state, then only compared with the curvature speed, escape is a doomed thing.

There is also another strange thing, which is that the curvature technology of this ship is so advanced, but it does not have the jump technology. This phenomenon is somewhat unreasonable, and it stands to reason that when the curvature technology is developed to such a height, the transition technology is at least preliminarily mastered. And now the other side is desperately trying to escape, and it is impossible not to use the jump technique in this case. If there is such a fleet behind him, then he will not hesitate to use the jump technique to break away, because with the current distance between the two sides, there is enough time to prepare for the transition from a curvature state to a jump flight.

These strange phenomena are puzzling, which is why White Mei has a keen interest in the fleeing Vanguard. At first, he just pretended to be the fleet of the Keda civilization to make the other party let down his guard, and then when he got close, he directly captured the opponent's ship and even destroyed it casually. But now, he no longer had the idea of destroying it before, and he planned to seize the ship to figure out the doubts in his mind, and completely figure out the real reasons that he couldn't explain.

But it is more difficult to do this, and in the absence of the ability to intercept with jump techniques, it is a contest of endurance and patience. However, Bai Mei believes that as long as he is given some time and waits for the other party to make a mistake, then it is inevitable to catch the other party in the end. Just like now. Didn't the other party make a mistake in his busyness? Inexplicably, the course was adjusted in the airspace, and this time the course adjustment did not widen the distance between the two sides, but was pulled in by the fleet at this opportunity, which was a happy result for Bai Mei.

In space, the Pioneer spacecraft was still flying at a high speed of curvature trying to escape, but no matter how it escaped, it could not escape from the pursuit behind it. Even in the next few days, the Pioneer spacecraft made several course adjustments, trying to achieve the goal of getting rid of it in this way, but the result was that the fleet behind it was getting closer and closer.

"Your Excellency, this is data."

On the flagship of the fleet, Bai Mei took over the information and data handed over by his subordinates, his eyes swept upward, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

According to the data just calculated, the distance between them and the ship has been reduced from the initial distance to the point where it can be intercepted in just 12 minutes. This is not far off, in terms of the speed at which the fleet flies in curvature. If the opponent makes another mistake, then the distance will be closer, and when it reaches a certain point, he can use the weapons on the battleship to interfere with the opponent's flight and capture the opponent.

"Yes, the fleet will continue to pursue as it was, but I want to see what kind of civilization is on this ship, and why they fled in a hurry when they saw us."

After the order is given. Bai Mei confidently clasped his hands around his chest, and in front of him was a star map. The flickering dots of light marked on this star map are none other than the unnamed ship and the fleet he commanded. He now thinks that the other party's captain's mentality has been out of balance in the long chase, and when he finds that he can't get rid of his fleet, he makes a mistake and tries to escape with such a ridiculous course change method, but unfortunately his mistake just gives himself a chance, as long as the other party makes a mistake again, then the result can be imagined.

The situation did develop as Bai Mei had guessed, and a few days later, the unnamed spacecraft made several operational mistakes one after another. As a result, the distance between the two sides has been shortened a lot, and the current interception distance is only 8 minutes and 35 seconds, which is almost to the extent that the fleet can use weapons to interfere. He even asked his subordinates to call the other party's spaceship through communication, demanding that the other party stop escaping, otherwise he would destroy them directly. The reason for this is to add another fire to the other side's captain's misjudgment in this way, and to catch the other party in a faster way, but it is a pity that no matter how much the communication warning or even the ultimatum is, the other party never answers their communication, as if the communication between the two sides is directly blocked.

Two days later, the interception distance was shortened a little, and now it was 7 minutes and 53 seconds, and the opponent's spacecraft was obviously flustered at this time, and made some very low-level mistakes in a row, which made Bai Mei see more hope. At this moment, the opponent's spaceship changed course again and headed towards the nearest small galaxy, when he saw this situation, Bai Mei couldn't help laughing, he guessed that the captain of the opponent's spaceship was trying to use the planets in the small galaxy to get rid of it, is this captain an idiot? Or rather, he didn't understand the basic elements of navigating the universe at all, and he actually made such a naïve move when he had such an excellent curvature spaceship.

"Keep an eye on it! They can't run! “

Bai Mei confidently gave the order, although his battleship was slightly inferior to the other party in terms of curvature engine, but the performance gap between the two sides was not large, and in terms of the handling of the battleship and other performance, the other party could not match. Since the other party tried to escape in this way, then it was a miscalculation, some of the advantages of the battleship were not available to ordinary spaceships, and under the control of their experienced captain, Bai Mei felt that this small galaxy was the final end of the chase.

As expected, not only did the unknown spacecraft not get a chance to escape after entering the small galaxy, but also reluctantly slowed down due to the changes in the planets in the small galaxy, causing the distance between the two sides to be shortened a little closer. Now the distance time is only 7 minutes and 11 seconds, and this distance time is still getting shorter, the smile on Bai Mei's face is getting worse and worse, and he even feels that he has seen the final result.

"Interfere with weapon preparation!"

"Jamming weapons in preparation...... You're ready! ”

"Pay attention to the distance time, and put it immediately when you arrive at the distance time!"

"Understand, arrive at the distance time and put it immediately!"

One order after another was issued from the bridge, and Bai Mei, who was in his hands, thought that it was right in front of him to catch the other party, and the next step was to consider the follow-up questions of understanding the identity of the other party. But just as he was secretly pondering these questions, and even guessing the origin of the other party, suddenly the entire spaceship shook violently, and Bai Mei's whole person fell to the side, if he hadn't grabbed the nearest chair with his eyes and hands, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"What's going on?!"

Bai Mei, who was holding on to the chair and barely standing, shouted, at this time, instead of returning to normal, the battleship was still shaking violently, could it be that they were attacked? That's impossible! But if it wasn't for the attack, how could the battleship be like this?

"Alert! Alert! The curvature is unstable, the curvature is unstable, the space fluctuation oscillation is abnormal, the spatial fluctuation oscillation is abnormal! ”

The bridge of the battleship suddenly remembered the alarm sound of the central intelligent brain, and when he heard the content of the alarm, Bai Mei couldn't believe his ears. What the? The curvature is not stable, and the spatial fluctuations are abnormal? How is this possible!

But the fact is that not only his flagship, but also the other 29 warships of the entire fleet also sounded such an alarm, and when the alarm sounded only a few seconds later, one of the battleships near the outer edge of the left side of the fleet was forced to fly out of the curvature in a violent spatial oscillation, and then all the people on the battleship heard the desperate shouts of the captain on the battleship.

"Oh my God, what's going on? Curvature status...... No! The curvature engine failed! Normal engine won't start...... Gravitation...... Strong gravitational ...... No! How so! Change the dead, move! No...... No......! ”

In a cry of despair, the captain's voice suddenly disappeared, but everyone's ears still echoed the last despair before his voice disappeared. But this was only the beginning, and then three more battleships were inexplicably thrown out of the curvature state at the same time, and one after another screams and pleas echoed in the remaining ships. But at this time, no one could help them, because the situation of the rest of the warships was also in an extreme crisis, even including the flagship, and at this moment, Bai Mei's face was no longer calm as before, but instead there was a panic and incredulity.
