Chapter 15: A New Fleet, New Command
"Bang"!
Colonel Wirther slammed his fist on the desk. His face contorted with extreme rage. Just a minute ago, the logistics support fleet of the Wormhole Survival Project of the Amo System reported that the wormhole had collapsed, and the "Observer" sickle-class cruiser was swept into the space at the moment of the collapse. The support fleet frantically searched for the enemy, and there was no sign of an enemy invasion in the Amo system.
The 9.9 million tons of wormhole carrying mass requires 100 Typhoon-class battleships to pass through the hole continuously before it can cause collapse. Since there are no enemies, how can the wormhole collapse!
The loss of dozens of young commanders is not unacceptable, but this time the plan has Franco! The son of the vice-marshal of the Metterberry Star Field of the Republic Fleet! And also...... A genius student that the old leader values very much!
No matter how difficult it is, you have to face it!
He picked up the communicator......
"Old Leader...... The wormhole collapsed. ”
There was a long silence on the other end of the communicator.
Colonel Wirther tried to restrain his voice, "No sign of an enemy invasion was found...... It should not be the collapse caused by the passage of a massive ship. ”
"What did the deputy marshal say?" Dean Kramar on the other end of the communicator looked much older.
"The news hasn't been reported yet."
There was another silence, and Dean Krama said slowly: "Leave it to fate." "Cut off communications.
Colonel Wilt loosened his collar and pressed the assistant's office communication: "Prepare the shuttle, I'm going to meet the deputy marshal." ”
......
Due to detachment from the original fleet, the rest of the original fleet members from a distance cannot be displayed on the tactical view. Lynch fired the combat probe again, and this time the scan took his angry temper away. Of the original fleet members, only eight warships remained. Together with the five ships that have been assembled so far, this means that seventeen battleships have exploded.
To his panic, the combat probe did not scan the warship except for the drone and the original fleet members, nor did it scan the escape pod.
It is impossible for a drone to attack an escape pod, as it should under normal circumstances.
Lynch was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He turned on the fleet radio: "I'm Lynch, a minute ago, the results of the scan of the combat probe, besides us, there are only eight battleships left in this galaxy. Please keep the status quo and wait, I'll come out of the cave and see how it goes. ”
He then gave the battleship an order: "Target point A, a hundred kilometers jump starts!" ”
The moment he jumped to the ground, Lynch's heart sank to the ground.
The exit is gone, the wormhole has collapsed!
"What's going on, what about the exit?" Russo yelled.
"What? Brother Russo, are you out of the way? Lynch...... We ......" Grant's voice trembled with panic.
Lynch stood there for a few minutes, smiled wryly and turned on the fleet radio to report the situation: "Exit...... Collapsed! ”
"Impossible! How could the exit collapse! Since Lynch opened the fleet radio, Cardia's voice came out immediately.
"You can come and see for yourself, but I suggest you stay where you are. From now on, I'm going to upload and share everything with my scans. No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, from now on, try to contact Colonel Wirther every once in a while. I think you should all understand that there is a very different difference between a communication delay and a signal feedback that cannot be delivered. ”
Number 2 was the first to reply: "No teleportation!" We're lost! ”
No. 3 and No. 4 successively confirmed that the wormhole had collapsed.
"Why ......," Kardia yelled angrily.
"Pack up your emotions!" Lynch ordered, "Whatever happens, since we're still alive now, we have to think of a solution!" He gave the battleship the order: "Jump back to point D with zero kilometers!" ”
Shortly after he returned to point D, only five of the eight battleships remained. Soon, four of the battleships jumped over.
The four ships joined the team, and Lynch numbered them as No. 6, 7, 8, and 9. He has now confirmed that even if the escape pod is not accidentally exploded by friendly forces, as long as it does not jump in time, it will definitely be blown up by the drone.
"Fleet Radio, I'm Lynch, the No. 1 flagship Explorer-class commander, please report the combat encounter on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th in turn."
Cliff Level 6 Report: "Me and 15 and 16...... We had three ships fighting alone, and the other two were Assassin-class. After being approached by a drone, we couldn't hold up for long at all. Soon an Assassin exploded, and 7 and I jumped away in time. And the assassin's escape pod was blown up by drones before we could enter the jump passage, and these drones will attack the escape pod! ”
Assassin Class 7 confirmed the situation.
Scythe Class 8 reports: "Scythe Class 9 and I fought with Major Franco. After we left the first drone brood, we jumped into another brood range to continue our mission. The result was exactly the same as the first brood, we remembered the first scythe ship, so we didn't dare to come to the rescue, and jumped away with Major Franco. We asked for a broadcast, offering to come here to rendezvous, and Major Franco rejected our offer. So we broke away from the fleet and rushed over. ”
The No. 9 sickle class confirmed the situation.
"Hehe......" Lynch laughed angrily and broadcast, "I'll tell you another good news, the wormhole exit has collapsed!" He then uploaded the scan results to share.
Now, apart from them, there is only one Cliff-class still floating alone in the galaxy, and it is Franco's car.
Lynch didn't dare to retract the needle, and refreshed the probe scanning interface over and over again. The drones, after being left without enemies, returned to their brood. There are only ten warships left in this system, including Franco, and there are no anomalies at all.
He didn't know what was going on with the drones, and guessed that it certainly wouldn't be an intentional setting by the Republican Fleet. If you want to kill someone or something, is it necessary to spend so much effort to create this "accident"?
If there is an enemy, where is the enemy? Set everything up and out of the hole again? It's impossible, his probe has been in a scanning state, even if there is a T2T3 stealth special ship in the game in the previous life in this world, it will definitely be scanned when it passes through the hole.
If the holes are collapsed, how many boats do you have to have? So many ships are hidden in the hole in order to create a drone accident? Just kill their temporary fleet!
"Fleet Broadcast, now, all assemble in formation, and I'll start to lead the jump. I'm going to do tactical jumps within the galaxy to deal with possible scenarios. Please note that after each landing, you set your own coordinate points, which must be set! ”
When Lynch made hundreds of jumps, the probe scanned Franco's battleship at point D. Lynch sneered, knowing that Franco had discovered that the wormhole had collapsed and had no way to go back, so he had to pull down his rope to find the large army.
Lynch thought about it for a long time and finally decided to accept Franco. It's not because of soft-heartedness, kindness or anything, Lynch knows that in the case of an uncertain future, one more warship will have more combat power, and there will be more hope of survival. Anyway, judging by the current situation, it is unlikely that Franco will seize power and become the commander of the new fleet.
Band jump to the ground, send flagship requests.
After a long wait, Franco joined the team.
Lynch couldn't help but start imagining Franco's face in his head, and suddenly felt like he was great, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Heh, Brother Lynch, have we got a way out of the hole?" Russo jumped with excitement.
"Uh...... A joke comes to mind. ”
“......”
"Fleet Radio, I'm Captain Lynch of the Flagship 1 Explorer, and I welcome the 10th Cliff Class to the fleet. I would now like to inform you of our current situation. First, the wormhole has now been confirmed to have collapsed. The generation of new wormholes (Note 1), I think you all learned it in school, either by luck or by deliberately creating very large mass points. I think it's more feasible to try your luck than to actively create quality points. Secondly, the drone is certainly not the drone that the Republican Fleet originally set up, as evidenced by your low combat capabilities, and it is unlikely that the Republican Fleet will allow you to accomplish such a near-suicidal mission. So, I now declare: abandon the original mission. Third, since the drone has changed, it means that there must be a clue to the change provided to us. As for whether we can find it or not, it is difficult to say now, so our next new mission will be to try our best to find this clue, and we do not rule out the possibility of continuing to destroy drones. Finally ......"
"No. 30...... Report flagship, I'm Cliff 10 Commander Franco. You said before that you would give up the mission, and I have no opinion. Because the strength of the UAV is much superior to ours, this is an impossible task. But what do you mean by continuing to destroy drones? Do you want to continue to send us to death? ”
"Good." Lynch could have imagined Franco jumping in the cab. He sneered, "Very good. I'm going to answer the question of number 10 now. The previous mission was to annihilate the brood and drones to earn points, but this mission no longer exists! The new mission is to find clues, and I think there's a difference. Second, who said that the strength of drones is far superior to ours? If you had been at my command at first, it would have been very easy to annihilate the drone. It's a pity Major Franco, not only did you not let me assemble the cruiser with Cardia, but you didn't even let me speak, tsk...... Next, in this new fleet, anything can be discussed, but with the supreme directive that I finally decide to carry out unconditionally! If you don't want to obey, you are welcome to leave! ”
