417. The Vanguard attacked
On the penultimate day of the Celestial Convergence, March 17, 2013.
The starship piloted by Ebony Throat has stalled at the edge of the solar system.
Later, the hidden Dark Emperor also appeared in the open, echoing the starship from afar.
This distance is just right,
Probably the same distance as the twenty meters of a normal duel, the two can look at each other from a distance, but they can't kill each other in the first place.
This is true for the Dark Emperor and the Starshuttle, as well as for Earth and Malekith and Ebony Throat.
Because of the backwardness of reconnaissance technology, the Earth side cannot monitor the opponent's actions in real time, and the feedback of the information will be delayed for several hours.
This is a technological barrier, and the earth, which is still unable to carry out interstellar travel, cannot avoid this problem.
Victor can solve it, but there's no need to waste that credential.
Just keep Heimdall on the lookout, and if the other party makes any changes, he will immediately notify the Earth - anyway, the main battlefield is at their feet, Ebony Throat doesn't know, but Malekith must come.
The two spaceships of the Dark Emperor were anchored at the edge of the solar system for two days, and it was not until March 20 that the Dark Emperor disappeared again when there was one hour before the scheduled celestial convergence.
When the starship is still motionless, there is no intention of moving.
Ebony Throat and the others, it seems that they are preparing to watch the fire from the other side?
This situation made Fury very worried, how could the enemy be allowed to watch from the sidelines when a war was going on on Earth?
With the space jumping ability of the interstellar navigate, the solar system can cross such a distance in a few minutes, and the other party has the ability to interfere in the battlefield at any time.
You can't let it go!
"Leave it to me!" Steve pleaded: "Victor, borrow your Vanguard, I will take a troop to meet them in space, with the superior performance of the Vanguard, the other party will definitely not engage in space in space, and it will definitely be a ground battle in the end!" ”
Steve still saw it clearly.
Not to mention the performance, the Pioneer alone is not something that an interstellar ship can shake, and the opponent can either flee or only fight on the ground.
If Ebony Throat really had a brain pump and wanted to wrestle his wrist with the Vanguard in space, Steve raised his hands and feet in approval.
Nebula and the Pioneer army are unknown, but Ebony Throat is not really capable of survivability in space - this is naturally the information given by Victor.
Thinking about the aggrieved way of death of Ebony Throat, this flaw is really unforgettable.
Because of the use of the Vanguard, Fury did not immediately respond to Steve, but looked at Victor for advice.
Victor didn't answer right away, he needed to weigh the pros and cons.
Needless to say,
Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the starships will inevitably be driven away, and the Harbinger army will be sent away, leaving Earth to focus on dealing with the Dark Elves.
The intervention of unexpected factors is greatly reduced.
The disadvantages are also extremely obvious,
There is a high probability that Victor will not be able to defeat Malekith, and his original intention was to use the Pioneer as a power bank, and a main light cannon can be filled with 99% light energy.
Even if there is a frigate to replace, the corvette can only charge 1% at most per cannon, which is too troublesome.
What the? Little blue pills?
The most advanced thing is only A-class, and the supplementary means above S-level are the light cannons on the Vanguard and frigates.
A small blue pill of the A-class, the amount of light energy replenished is roughly the same as a corvette's first shot, and for the current Victor, it is 1% of the level of plugging between teeth.
After thinking about it for a while, Victor finally nodded and agreed to Steve's request, and temporarily lent the Vanguard to them to use to destroy the starship.
In addition to Steve, the three Stephens, who were in charge of dealing with Ebony Throat, and the three Lorna, who were dealing with Nebula, also boarded the ship together.
No more Guardian Alliances are being allocated.
With the Vanguard on top of the thousands of large and small light cannons, it is easy to annihilate a small army - the reason why these were not included in the conventional combat methods before is also because of the fear that large-scale bombing will affect the earth's environment.
But if it is a battlefield on another planet, then naturally there are no such concerns.
With the logistics personnel in charge of liaison, there is a team of 20 people in total, and there is no need for the Pioneer to get close, and the frigate can pick up and drop them off directly.
Just standing in the command room of the Vanguard, Steve was rarely confused.
How to control this dense button?
fortunately
Steve was just confused for a moment, then opened his mouth and shouted, "Edith? ”
The voice fell,
A middle-aged man in a decent suit suddenly appeared three meters in front of Steve, bowing down with a meticulous face.
"Mr. Rogers, you have Level 2 clearance, what do you need Edith for?"
This is the auxiliary intelligence of the Pioneer itself, named "Edith" by Victor, and the original ability is much worse than Alice.
But since the small astrocomputer was mounted on the Vanguard, Edith is no weaker than Alice in terms of performance, except that it does not have Alice's emotional module.
- Of course, Alice can also use the computing power of a small celestial computer.
With Edith here, the Pioneer is basically in "lazy mode", and it can operate automatically when you open your mouth.
Since Steve dared to apply to hunt down the starships, he naturally knew this.
"Edith, locate this spaceship outside the solar system." Steve pulled out his phone, and on it was a long-range photo of the starship: "Rush over as fast as you can." ”
"Confirm the target."
"Confirm the order and draw up the shortest sailing route."
"The space jump engine is turned on, and the space jump is expected to be carried out in ten seconds, so please find a fixed object and hold it firmly."
Steve sat in the main conductor's seat in the command room, which was the position where Victor pretended to sit when he was acting.
Others went outside, and the command room was made up of multiple functional rooms, equipped with enough seating for hundreds of people.
With the space jump engine turned on, the Vanguard jumped directly to the vicinity of Pluto.
"There is no space node nearby, and it will fly at the speed of light, and it is expected to be within range in 57 seconds."
"Warning! Warn! ”
"The target opens the space node, and it is suspected that it is about to escape, and applies to open the space channel marker device."
"What's the use of this device?" Steve asked warily.
"It can mark nearby space passages and track the coordinates of recently formed space passages, which can be used to track other spacecraft and prevent them from escaping through space jumps."
"Open."
"The space channel marker is turned on, and the target space node exit is ...... Over the Earth's atmosphere. ”
