"The energy detector has a detection distance of 300,000 kilometers, and a small amount of energy fluctuations exist!"

"The metal detector is 300,000 kilometers away, and there are large metal bodies!"

The voice of the central brain of the "Gao Miao" was clearly transmitted into the bridge after 30 minutes.

However, the video sent back by the optical detector is extremely blurry, blurry to the point that it is impossible to distinguish what is starlight and what is the reflection of meteorite.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there are energy waves and large metal objects, is this 。。。。。。?" The colonel's face became serious.

"No, that's the most normal thing." Hearing such a not-so-good result, Itagaki Sei's face softened. "If there are people over there who have already prepared a game and are waiting for me to wait, then they will definitely stay 500,000 kilometers or more away, and they will not give you a chance to capture any energy fluctuations at all, and the results fed back by the probe will make you think that it is a real wild star field. But the real situation is that it is not, according to the intelligence of the Imperial Intelligence Department, there is a main channel to the most prosperous celestial body in the star field, no matter how depressed that place is, there will inevitably be starships passing by, and the probe is very sensitive, it can capture the aftermath of energy three days ago or even longer, so this is the most real situation.

Large metal objects are even more normal, there are extremely rich mineral-rich star fields, and meteorites are rich in a large number of metal elements. And, if the other party had such a large starship and was still waiting for you and me here, do you think he would stay in the area of the probe and tell you that they are already here? ”

"Therefore, such detection results are the most normal." As he spoke, Sei Itagaki couldn't help but show a little smugness on his face. "If it weren't for that, no matter how confident I was, I wouldn't have jumped with the whole fleet. It is more likely that 2 destroyers and 4 frigates will be sent as advance fleets to enter first. But now the situation shows that I don't have to take that risk. ”

The energy required for an artificial wormhole is absolutely sky-high, and it is impossible for Jeppen's detachment to jump in two consecutive batches in a matter of hours. Although 2 destroyers and 4 frigates are already nearly half of the strength of this fleet, according to the estimation of the Imperial Intelligence Department, in that area that is enough for one-third of the dark star field called the meteorite star field, the strength of a hundred assault ships is there, even if the opponent is a rabble, it is almost worth one to twenty, even if Itagaki is crazy, he does not think that there is a chance of victory.

But compared to the safety of the entire fleet, even if he is as brave as Itagaki Zheng, he does not dare to throw all the forces under his command into the unfamiliar star field at once. But now it seems that at least he can relax in this regard.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you have been taught." The colonel's eyes were filled with horror, and his face was full of admiration.

This time, it's not a habitual sycophant, but sincere.

In fact, Itagaki Zheng, who began to walk the road of promotion by the lieutenant of the mecha company, also proved his name for bravery with his actions, and in three bloody battles with the Southwest Federal Army on the front line, the battle loss rate of the mecha soldiers under his command exceeded 40%, and the Southwest Federal side retreated rarely. Because of this, Itagaki Zheng, who was already from a noble family, was promoted all the way, and even became the commander of the detachment in one fell swoop from the position of brigadier general and division commander of the mecha division, which was the only way to become the commander of the corps and the commander of the main fleet.

But until today, the colonel's chief of staff knows that the brave and tiger-like Itagaki Zheng has no less than the so-called wise generals, and even more.

Just before a jump, there is so much thought.

Staying under such a general as chief of staff, I don't know if it is his luck, admiration or misfortune? Colonel Jeppen himself doesn't know, perhaps, both! Since the ability can't catch up, then try to hold your thighs, wait for this promotion, and give him a hand.

Shocked and admired, Colonel Jeppen quickly strengthened his mind.

Seeing the horror that flashed in his subordinates' eyes and the look of admiration that overflowed with words, Itagaki Sei's face showed a look of deception, which was exactly what he wanted. Although his ability value is not high, as long as he is obedient, when he is promoted in the future, he can also let this person control an army alone, and he can be regarded as his descendant.

The more power he has, the more favored by the big guy, it is natural that there will be a higher position waiting for him. For example, General Miyamoto Tsuyoshi, who was in charge of this operation, maybe after this battle, he will be able to climb the high branches of Miyamoto Tsuyoshi.

As for the current commander of his army, Itagaki Zheng is a little disdainful, not to mention anything else, just say that Miyamoto Tsuyoshi is a general who is personally supported by His Majesty the Emperor, and that one actually doesn't deal with others, isn't this a sign of lack of eyesight? Do you want to take it to the next level? At his level, if the war hasn't started yet, he will be transferred to an idle position by His Majesty the Emperor!

Anyway, for Major General Jeppen, who has long "seen everything", the "flower of famous generals" is already a high branch that must be climbed, and Gufu Village, which has some expectations for him in the rear, is already destined to be abandoned. The reason why he chose to take such a risk to use the entire fleet to jump into the Dark Star Field, Itagaki Sei was for the sake of Admiral Miyamoto's face, which had been telegraphed to a certain commander-in-chief sitting in the rear in accordance with military regulations before leaving.

Putting away the smug color on his face, and also putting away the careful thoughts that kept pouring out of his heart, Itagaki Zheng ordered again: "Order the whole fleet to prepare for the jump!" With the flagship "Gao Miao" as the first ship! ”

"Commander 。。。。。。" The colonel's chief of staff's face changed suddenly.

Isn't it stupid? Just now, Lao Tzu admired you for being as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox, why did you become a flat-headed brother now? If there is an inner translator, you will definitely be able to translate the inner world of this person clearly.

In any jump, the starship that starts with the first step is bound to bear the greatest risk. Don't look at the "Gao Miao" is a coaxing heavy cruiser, within a minute or two of jumping out of the artificial wormhole, but there is no energy shield to protect it, once there are enough ants, no matter how thick the armor will be gnawed through for you.

Letting the flagship take the lead seems to be a commander's love for officers and soldiers, but in fact it is a stupid move that will do far more harm than good.

"Fleet command transferred to the destroyer Reveal White!" Itagaki Zheng had a smile on his face, looking like Lao Tzu's thoughts you don't understand but everything is under control.

The colonel's chief of staff finally understood this man's thoughts.

Because of the different levels of jumping, the Jeppen fleet can't make a spatial jump like two or even three ships in tandem like the main fleet, and the 30-second interval between each starship is already the limit of what they can control.

Moreover, once in the jump, the starship will not be able to change the jump status. Trying to break away from the anti-space of the wormhole, an energy barrier filled with terrifying energy can crush the strongest starship of human civilization to date into a sheet of iron with weak cicada wings.

Hit the head with the most defensive "Myoko", once it encounters the enemy, although it will be passively attacked within a minute, it can at least attract most of the enemy's firepower, and it can hold out until more and more starships arrive, as long as you survive the most difficult first two minutes, and wait until the whole fleet arrives, it will be the enemy's nightmare.

If you change to another starship and arrive at one and be blown up, the big guy will still play with the egg!

It can be said that Sei Itagaki has considered all possibilities.

There is such a passage in the history books: There are wise generals and fierce generals, and the commander who can transcend the distinction between the two is enough to make his subordinates have undefeated confidence in him, that is, a famous general.

And at this moment, in the eyes of the chief of staff of Colonel Jeppen, the stocky commander in front of him already has the potential to become a famous general.

And the battlefield is the final assessment of becoming a famous general. However, the opportunity is reserved for everyone who is prepared, and it is clear that Itagaki is well prepared.

As the Myoko entered the artificial wormhole that had already been formed, the other ships of Jeppen's fleet also rushed in。。。。。。。

In the distant space that the two Jie Peng generals couldn't see, countless people were already waiting for them.

They, too, are ready for everything.

。。。。。。

With the crazy sound of the energy detector, everyone's eyes were cast on the void hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

There seemed to be a ripple in the blue void, and a point of light that was higher than the deep sky began to expand visibly with the naked eye. Of course, at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, in addition to large enough celestial bodies, the artificial wormhole with a radius of only a few thousand meters is as small as a grain of sand in the desert in the starry sky, which is more just a feeling, and the real image is from a distance of only 5,000 kilometers from a detector disguised as a meteorite.

The vast majority of the people here may have had the experience of jumping, but it is the first time for many people to see an artificial wormhole expand from small to large.

Of course, the most shocking thing is not the light of the artificial wormhole, but the fact that behind this terrible space folding technology, there may be a powerful fleet that cannot be matched.

Although as early as half an hour ago, a probe escaped from space, indicating that there would indeed be a fleet-class starship jumping here, but when this scene really became a reality, countless people still couldn't help but hold their breath, and at the same time clenched everything that could be held in their hands.

Even if it's just a steel handrail, it seems to be able to give people in it a kind of courage.

The cruiser Jeppon "Myoko", in such a kind of anticipation, jumped out of the artificial wormhole with its head held high.

In the flow of artificial wormhole energy luster, the huge steel body of 1,200 meters long, the 9 energy main gun barrels that have been removed from the protective shield and exposed outside the hull are raised high, and the countless emitters on the hull are like devil's eyes, and rows of hideous stares into the distance, which shows that once attacked, even if the main gun cannot launch a counterattack at the first time because of charging, the photon missile can strike at the target at the first time.

The starship's unpretentious appearance but flowing metallic armor shows everyone the strength of its body, even if it loses the protection of the energy shield, it is not an ordinary level energy cannon that can be blasted.

This is the deterrence that comes from the cruiser of the capital ship class.

Ninety percent of the people who watched all this with bated breath would never have had the opportunity to see such a terrible starship in their lifetime if it weren't for this battle.

Whether it was the starship commander or the most ordinary damage management crew, at this moment, he couldn't help but stop breathing.
