Immediately after the launch of the hunting plan, the General Staff began to conduct deduction analysis.

With regard to the analysis of the deduction in terms of campaign strategy, the General Staff has carried out numerous similar deductions, so the conclusions are drawn quickly.

"There are three things to note about this hunt for Shieldis β235......"

Chu Xingyun got the notes handed over by the military staff officers of each group and began to make a summary report: "First, half an hour ago, we have already obtained the information on the high-level mining ships of the Palesai civilization from the Three-Eyed Civilization.

"As expected, this is an armed mining vessel, but the defense capability, the power system is stronger, and the weapon system is average.

"Moreover, the technology used by the advanced mining vessels is second only to that of the main warship of the Palest.

"According to the data, the energy shield of the mining ship is the most advanced triangular matrix shield, which is the yellow triangular matrix shield of the Pegasus main battleship.

"Therefore, the team carrying out the hunting operation must have the strongest attack power, and need to break the triangular matrix shield of the mining ship in order to have any hope of capturing the mining ship.

"In addition to this, the curvature of the mining ship is 20 times the speed of light, which means that once we let the mining ship fly in curvature, we will never be able to catch up with it.

"Second, there may be a self-detonation system on the mining ship, so the whole offensive process must be fast, otherwise it is likely that nothing will be obtained.

"Thirdly, the support speed of the Palese civilization support fleet may be very fast, once again compressing the time for action. Moreover, the speculation about the support fleet is most likely related to the purpose of the Three-Eyed Civilization Karaksi.

"There's a possibility that Calaksi wants us to attack the miners and bring in a support fleet, so that the Three-Eyed fleet can carry out their true purpose."

……

The seventh day after the launch of the Shield β235 hunting program.

The Counterattack officially set sail, taking a hyperspace course, with the star system of β235 in the constellation Shield ahead.

At a curvature of 10 times the speed of light, the Counterattack took five months.

However, if the "photon transition" speed of the source is calculated, the time can be shortened to more than three months.

Besides.

Inside the Counterattack, a space engineering ship was loaded.

The Space Engineering Ship, with 2,000 ship restoration engineers, will be working to salvage and repair a carbon-based Alliance shipwreck in a nearby star field close to the constellation Shield235.

At the end of the month, the Counter entered the inner circulation phase, and the food began to be mainly potatoes.

There is no other reason, potatoes are easy to grow and live.

Niu Dazhi learned from the experience of the last time, so this time he went on a mission, and he filled the cabin with boxes of instant noodles and ham sausages.

"It's impossible to eat potatoes by eating potatoes, and you can only make a living by eating instant noodles."

Niu Dazhi soaked the instant noodles, crossed his fingers and stretched his waist to eat.

At this time.

A man suddenly reached out and lifted the lid of the instant noodles, rolled up a roll of instant noodles with a fork, and sucked it and ate it.

"Hey! My temper tantrum. "Niu Dazhiden wants to have a seizure,

"What's your temper?"

"My temper tantrum ...... Suddenly cured. Niu Dazhi looked at the dazzling green dragon battle armor and held back.

"It tastes good." Fang Yuan gave a thumbs up and praised, then put down the fork.

Followed by.

Another hand reached over, picked up the fork, prepared to do the same, and bowed his head to eat.

Niu Dazhi slapped the table and shouted, "I can't bear this." ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it, this bowl of instant noodles was used by the deputy captain." Eve lowered her head and stuffed the noodles into her mouth.

Niu Dazhi stretched out his hand to push her head, wanting to keep the instant noodles: "Levy your head." ”

"Captain, Niu Dazhi beats the deputy captain ......"

The two pinched each other.

Lang Xiaonian put the freshly soaked noodles on the table and said, "Don't grab it, mine is for you." ”

Eve's eyes were quick, and she immediately took Lang Xiaonian's instant noodles in her arms: "It's for me." ”

"What? Have you been abroad for a few years and pretended not to know Chinese characters? It's 'you', not 'you'! Niu Dazhi was not ready to give up and continued to tear.

……

On the big screen on the bridge, the picture of Virgo 61 was played all the time.

Lang Xiaonian had been watching this just now, trying to figure out the reason for the gamma-ray burst in Virgo 61.

At this moment, Fang Yuan was also staring.

In the picture, it is a system of three stars.

This makes Virgo 61 a standard three-body world, where life is like hell.

The three-body problem is a fundamental mechanical model in celestial mechanics.

It refers to the problem of the mutual motion of three celestial bodies under the action of gravitational attraction between them.

At present, there is a common conclusion in the mathematical and physical circles that the three-body problem cannot be solved accurately.

In other words, the movement of the three-body system is unpredictable, and can even be said to be chaotic.

Therefore, a system composed of three stars may indeed have the possibility of star collision and fusion.

If there is an external force, the probability of a stellar collision is higher.

"How wonderful. Under the observation of the space telescope, Virgo 61 is still three intact stars, but in fact Virgo 61 no longer exists at this moment. Lang Xiaonian sighed.

"yes. What we see now is Virgo 61 49 years ago. Fang Yuan also sighed.

Because of the destruction of Virgo 61, humanity has entered the countdown to the end again.

49 years seems like a lot of time.

However, on a cosmic scale, it is actually just a flick of a finger.

The interstellar war of the Carbon-Based Alliance and the Palese civilization has lasted tens of thousands of Earth years, and 49 years is indeed not a long time for them.

Ulysses used this method to destroy humanity, which was a common means for him.

……

Accelerated by the fleet's ability "Photon Jump", the Counterattack sailed for three months and arrived in an unnamed star system near the constellation β235 Shield.

According to the coordinates of the shipwreck given by the photosynthetic civilization Pigs, there is a space battleship that sank 20,000 years ago.

The location of the wreck was not difficult to find, and the wreck was soon found on a planetary ring.

After lowering the space engineering ship, the Counter Attack patrolled the circle to confirm the safety of the star system, and then prepared to continue sailing towards β235 Shield.

The space-engineered ship will spend three months alone in an unnamed star system, salvaging the sunken ship and trying to repair it.

Three months later, Counterattack will return to pick up the space engineering ship and go home.

If the Counterattack does not return, there will be a faster-than-light spacecraft from Earth to take charge of the return mission.

After saying goodbye to the space engineering ship, the Counter Strike set out on a solo journey to the star system of β235 in the constellation Shield, where it prepared to carry out the Palasse Advanced Mining Ship Hunt.

During the three months of this voyage, the Earth side has been actively communicating with the Carbon Based Alliance, hoping to get more information.

However, the Three-Eyed Civilization did a good job of secrecy and did not reveal their true purpose.
