Chapter 441: Looking Up
Tang Di's cruising fleet is composed of six warships, these six warships belong to the joint organization in terms of ownership, that is, the Shuanghuan Company, but in fact, these six warships are based on the warships of the Blue Star civilization, which is of course considering that the Blue Star civilization is more developed than the Earth civilization, and their warships are also more suitable for all aspects of the Andromeda system.
Theoretically, there is no problem for a warship in space to enter the atmosphere to carry out a mission, but it is important to know that there is a huge difference between flying in the universe and in the atmosphere of a planet. First of all, there is no air in space, and the drag of the spacecraft during flight is relatively zero, if you do not consider the existence of various small space bodies and space matter, and stop propulsion after acceleration, the spacecraft will continue to fly forever at the maximum speed added.
Secondly, spacecraft and warships navigating in space do not need to consider the role of airflow balance and attraction, which is why many spacecraft are built with the practical application of spacecraft as the core, rather than considering various factors such as aerology first. This has caused a great difference in the appearance of spaceships and ordinary aircraft, because of the many environments of the planet and the limitations of incomparably avoided factors, it is generally impossible for the aircraft to be built too large, but the spaceship is different, as long as the spaceship meets a few key requirements, its volume can be expanded indefinitely, even if it is theoretically possible to directly build a spaceship the same size as the earth.
These differences limit the ability of spaceships and warships to operate in the Pacific Sphere. Of course, relying on the powerful propulsion and performance of the spacecraft, it is not impossible to perform such a mission, but it is just not suitable. But now, in the face of this person who appeared on the double-ring planet, Gao Jian could only take the power of the cruising fleet. Because he knows that ordinary shuttles can't compete with each other, and only warships soaring in the universe have this ability.
If it were on another planet, Gao Jian might not have adopted this method, and he didn't even need the battleship to enter the atmosphere, relying on the equipment on the battleship to be able to conduct a detailed search of the entire ground. However, their bi-orbited planet is a special case, and its unique ionosphere greatly reduces the ability of flying bodies in low Earth orbit to detect on the ground. Of course. If they could have done this easily with the Homeland spaceship they were on back then, unfortunately, with the Homeland spaceship at their disposal, this cruising fleet was their only option.
Tang Di was an experienced fleet commander, and his proposed method took this into account. Send a warship into the atmosphere, and when it goes down to the ionosphere, the warship will scan the entire planet to find the man's location. At the same time, this battleship will also serve as a transit mission, that is, connecting the Colonial Command's intelligent brain system with the rest of the warships in space. Once it detects a target attacking a target, it can use this ability as a transit point to channel the attack if it doesn't work. At that time, the other five battleships in space will attack at the same time under its guidance, and the full attack of the entire six battleships, let alone one person, Tang Di can't imagine what else can stop it.
The plan looks comprehensive, but Gao Jian also noticed one thing. That is, the battleship that entered the atmosphere was dangerous. Gao Jian couldn't be sure if the man's counterattack would cause damage to the battleship if the attack didn't work. That's why he told Tang Di after authorizing.
Tang Di is a soldier, a resolute soldier. After deciding on the plan, he quickly began to prepare, and just over an hour later, the battleship number 172 in the cruising fleet began to descend in altitude and headed towards the double-ringed planet.
"No. 172, note the ionospheric reaction. Stay connected at any time! ”
"Number 172 understands, number 172 understands!"
On the flagship, Tang Di closely watched the landing of the No. 172 battleship through three-dimensional projection, and the ionosphere outside the atmosphere of the double-ring planet is very special, which has a great impact on the entry of the battleship. Let alone. The warships owned by their cruising fleet were not transport ships for the unique phenomenon of the Double Ring Planet, so Tang Di was still a little worried about the situation of the No. 172 battleship before landing.
However, in the following time, the battleship No. 172 performed exceptionally well, and successfully passed through the violent ionosphere under the command of an experienced captain, although the hull of the battleship was somewhat unstable, but it quickly returned to normal, and when the thickest layer of the ionosphere passed, the No. 172 battleship sent back the message of safe landing.
"Flagship! Flagship! No. 172 has passed through the ionosphere and will stay at high altitudes, the battleship is in good condition and there are no problems! ”
Hearing this, Tang Di's heart was completely relaxed, and he informed No. 172 and the fleet and the colony command Zhi Brain to start establishing contact, and when the connection was established, it would first conduct a comprehensive search on the ground, and as for the fleet and the colonial area, the Zhi Brain system would cooperate and analyze the search information of the No. 172 battleship to ensure that the data was accurate.
After a few more minutes, the establishment of the tripartite connection was completed, and Tang Di asked the ships and the colonial area to conduct a joint test through the No. 172 battleship, and the test results were also satisfactory. After doing all this, then the next step is to conduct a comprehensive scanning search of the double-ring planet, and the 172 battleship will soon start this task, the complex scanning information will be transmitted synchronously, and the intelligent brain systems of the three parties will be running at full strength to find the exact location of the mysterious person on the ground.
It's a very delicate job that takes time. Moreover, although the No. 172 battleship is at high altitude, a comprehensive scan of the ground also requires it to constantly move the location of the area where it is located. After all, the double-ringed planet is an Earth-like planet, and it is a primitive planet no less than the Earth, and even if the Earth is scanned in low-earth orbit in space, the space flight body must adjust its position, and this principle is the same.
While the 172 completes its search for an area, adjusts its position and then searches for another area, the rest of the ships of the cruise fleet in low earth orbit in space will also adjust their positions accordingly to maintain synchronous support with the 172 battleship.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the comprehensive search, they divided the entire surface of the double-ringed planet into 24 regions in the north and south hemispheres and in the east-west direction, and the search time for each area was about two hours to ensure that nothing was missed. In other words, if you're unlucky, the search can take on to a full forty-eight hours. That's two days. Of course, if you're lucky, you might find something you can find when you search.
However, judging from the current situation, the possibility of good luck can be ruled out, because more than six hours have passed, and the fourth area has been searched, and the No. 172 battleship has still not been found. But whether it was the 172 battleship or the commander Tang Di. Even Gao Jian and the others on the ground were waiting patiently, unless that person was no longer on this planet, otherwise they would definitely be able to find out.
Time was still going on, the No. 172 battleship kept shifting its position and continued to search, and Gao Jian sat in the position of the headquarters and stared intently at the projection. Of course, he also knew that his ability to distinguish with his brain was far faster than his naked eye, but at this time, he still felt that it was more reassuring for him to stare at.
Major General George was on his left, but he was always on his toes. At the same time, unmanned shuttles in the colonial zone are also on standby. As soon as the target is found, the unmanned shuttle will immediately rush to the target area. Even if these unmanned shuttles do not pose a threat to the target, at least they will ensure that the target is moved or prepared for the rear selection in the event of a situation on the 172nd battleship.
"Give me another cup of coffee." Staring at the projection for a long time, Gao Jian's eyes were a little sore, he picked up the coffee cup in front of him and wanted to drink it, but when he looked down, he found that he had finished drinking. Gao Jian casually handed the empty cup behind him, and a lady officer hurriedly took it.
"Mr. Gao, do you think the battleship and that person ......?" Major General George asked in a low voice.
Gao Jian shook his head: "General." You have to trust in our power, anything can happen without results. ”
"Of course I do. It's just a little ....... Major General George smiled bitterly and nodded, as a senior officer, of course he understood that what Gao Jian said made sense, but as time went by, he was always uneasy in his heart. After all, the ability that man showed was so impressive to him that even now with the appearance of the cruising fleet, he was a little unconfident in his heart.
In fact, Gao Jian can't be sure in his heart, but as an intelligence officer. A Gao Jian who has experienced cross-galaxy routes and encountered so many things has a strong heart that ordinary people can compare. What's more, they have now made the most correct choice, and even that person has not taken the initiative until now. Judging from the fact that there is no attack on the colonial area, that man's ability is not omnipotent.
As the two experts said, although that person has incredible ability, there must be a critical point in this ability, and as long as this critical point is broken, he is not invincible.
"Sir, your coffee." The lady officer gently put a cup of coffee in his hand, Gao Jian nodded slightly and poured a thank you, he reached out to pick up the coffee and was about to drink it, when suddenly a rapid electronic sound sounded from the headquarters.
"Discover the target! Discover the target! ”
Gao Jian hurriedly put the cup on the table, because he was in a hurry, the coffee in the cup spilled, but at this time, where could he take care of this, and looked towards the projection in a hurry.
In the projection area, the huge picture quickly zoomed in, and soon the figure familiar to them appeared. Gao Jian was sure at a glance that it was the person, and in the picture, the person was walking leisurely in a desert, as if he were in a beautiful park, and he was just an ordinary person strolling in it.
"The shuttle takes off immediately! The shuttle takes off immediately! ”
Rear Admiral George was only stunned for a moment before giving the order to take off the unmanned shuttle, according to the area where the person was found so far, it is expected to arrive in 30 minutes at the flight speed of the unmanned shuttle, and during this time period, the battleship No. 172 will conduct further reconnaissance of this person, and then launch a strike.
In the ground command, while Gao Jian and the others searched for that person, the No. 172 battleship and the cruise fleet in space also discovered the target information, and the captain of the No. 172 battleship immediately asked the flagship for instructions on whether to launch an attack immediately according to the plan.
"Lock on to the target and wait for orders!"
Tang Di gave such an order, judging from the picture, this person looked like an ordinary person, he wanted to see what this person was doing, and then attacked. As long as the No. 172 battleship locks on to the target in advance, then the other party will not be able to escape, and as for the start of the attack, it is also a matter of order, in this case, he is not in a hurry.
"Understood, the target is starting to lock on ......."
The No. 172 battleship returned to the road, and at this moment, Tang Di and Gao Jian were in the low-earth orbit of space, and the other was in the colonial district headquarters on the ground, and they were looking at the person who seemed to be taking a walk. But soon, they noticed the difference in each other's walking, the man was in the desert, but he was not walking slowly, no! It can even be said that it is very fast.
Don't look at his casual appearance, but each step is a full distance of five or six meters, this speed can almost be about the same as a soldier equipped with an exoskeleton suit, and more importantly, his movements seem to give people a very leisurely feeling, if it weren't for the data clearly showing his movement speed, no one would believe that he would be so fast.
There is also a strange phenomenon, that is, he did not leave any footprints in the desert, and walked forward step by step, but the footprints that should have appeared behind him were completely absent, as if his whole person did not exist.
"What is he doing?" Gao Jian asked in a low voice, not asking someone else, but asking himself, maybe the person in the picture. The area where the man was found was one of the most remote places on the entire Twin Rings, a desert of nearly 4 million square kilometers, thousands of kilometers away from where the man first appeared. What's more, the direction in which he was heading was diametrically opposed to where the colonial zone was located, and Gao Jian couldn't understand why he was here and where he wanted to go.
This answer may only be obtained by asking this person, in fact, until now, Gao Jian has not figured out how this person appeared. If he was originally from this planet, it stands to reason that it was impossible not to find out when they first came to the Double Ring Planet. But if he came from somewhere else, then where did he come from? More importantly, how did he get here?
Gao Jian had a lot of unanswerable questions in his heart, and just as he was trying to make assumptions about these questions, a report from the No. 172 battleship came from his ears: "The target lock is complete!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the person in the picture suddenly stopped, Gao Jian clearly saw that his expression changed suddenly, and the leisurely appearance just before suddenly became cold and severe, and he raised his head when he stopped, looking towards the sky where there was nothing.
