Chapter 1059 - To Chase, or Not to Chase?
The two warships flew rapidly in the infinite universe, the curvature engine power soaring to the limit, pulling out a dazzling pillar of light left behind by the "photon jump".
"Bitten, they released a formation of destroyers to catch up." When Ye Zheyu reported the danger warning, his tone was a little serious.
The "photon transition" is indeed powerful, but it also has some drawbacks.
That is, where the "photon transition" passes, leaving a trail of light.
Although the light band fades after a few seconds and is not visible to the naked eye, it is still easy to detect with a detection instrument.
Therefore, when the Third Fleet of Pegasus chases the same star field, it can track the traces of the "photon jump" all the way up.
As long as you are bitten, you can never get rid of it again.
We can only keep using the "photon transition" to open a safe distance.
If Fang Yuan was the only one who released the "Photon Leap", he would have been caught up two days ago.
After Han Youwei obtained the "Photon Leap" and was promoted to the planetary level, she shared a lot of pressure.
"How long will it be before we get to Perseus?"
Fang Yuan looked at the Pegasus Third Fleet destroyer formation that was clenching tightly behind him, always maintaining his calmness and composure.
"It will take three more days for us to reach alpha 233 Centauri, where there is a huge wormhole across the spiral arm to reach the spiral arm of Perseus." Lang Xiaonian looked at the star map and replied.
Most of the star fields of the Perseus spiral arm are controlled by the carbon-based alliance.
Among them, Piggs of the photosynthetic civilization is the regional manager of the spiral arm of Perseus.
After communication, Pigs was willing to accept the gift of the Pegasus Third Fleet.
However, the fight needs to take place within the Perseus Spiral Arm.
Therefore, the Counterattack needs to guide the Pegasus Third Fleet into the Perseus spiral arm in order to carry out an ambush.
……
"How long will it take for this destroyer formation to catch up?" Fang Yuan then asked.
"As soon as the 'photon jump' stops, they can intercept us." Lang Xiaonian replied helplessly.
The speed of the Counterattack is indeed not comparable to the latest main warship of the Palasse civilization, and only with the acceleration of the "Photon Jump" can it barely pull away.
However, the "photon transition" cannot be held for long, so it is only a matter of time before it is caught up.
At this time, it was Han Youwei who was responsible for the acceleration of the "photon transition", but it was almost to the limit.
"You rest. Replace me. Fang Yuan got up and said.
Han Youwei shook her head: "I can hold on for a while." ”
At this point, fighting could break out at any time.
The more times like this happen, the more precious the star power of the strongest super soldier becomes.
Once the fight starts, the side with the strongest super soldier with less star power left is likely to lose at this point in the end.
Therefore.
In the space battle, before the battle begins, the space fleet will retain the star power and energy of the strongest combat power as much as possible, and leave it until the final word.
"There are three more days, you can't last that long, I'll take you for a while. Biting the destroyers in the back, don't dare to chase too far, they will slow down. Fang Yuan was very sure of this.
In a space fleet.
The most ferocious and heavily armored were the battleships.
But also because weapon systems and armor take up most of the space, resulting in a relatively slow speed.
Therefore, in a fleet, the speed of the fleet is often equal to the speed of the battleship.
And the fastest ships in the fleet are destroyers, which tend to be 50% faster than battleships, or even double.
Therefore.
The Pegasus Third Fleet would send a destroyer formation in pursuit of the Counterattack, as the battleships behind were slower and could not keep up.
The reason why Fang Yuan was sure that the destroyer formation of the Pegasus Third Fleet would slow down was that there were five destroyer formations in this group.
The firepower was enough to tear apart the two ships of the Counterattack, but if they dared to break away from the main force of the fleet in the rear too far, then Fang Yuan would dare to sink them.
Therefore, the sortie of the destroyer formation is limited by distance, and it is impossible to break away too far from the main formation.
Han Youwei also understood this, and finally agreed to stop the "photon jump" to rest.
Fang Yuan connected to the "Photon Jump", and after sailing for three hours, as expected, the destroyer formation that bit behind began to slow down, obviously reaching the limit of the pursuit range.
Seeing the destroyer formation in Pegasus slowing down, Fang Yuan also stopped the "photon jump" and recovered his star power.
In this way, I chased for three days.
The two ships of the Counter Attack finally reached α233 Centauri, crossed the straspiral wormhole, and arrived at the star system of Perseus μ348.
Perseus μ348 is the position determined by Pyggs.
As long as humanity lures the Third Fleet of Pegasus here, the mission is accomplished.
"It's finally safe this time."
After arriving at the Perseus Spiral Arm, most of the fighters aboard the Counterattack were relieved.
When you get here, you're basically safe.
Before passing through the strawivel arm wormhole, Fang Yuan had the proton observer put down to observe the Pegasus Third Fleet that was catching up behind.
After nearly 12 hours of waiting, the Pegasus Third Fleet finally appeared in front of the strawivel arm wormhole.
However, the fleet stopped in front of the wormhole and did not immediately pass through it.
"They stopped, didn't they dare to come? Didn't you chase it fiercely before? I was almost chased by them. A classmate in the military scientific research class complained angrily.
In the past half a month, the team has been chased and fled, and they are all holding their breath in their hearts.
"They may really not dare to come over, the Perseus spiral arm belongs to the area controlled by the carbon-based alliance." Lang Xiaonian's expression was also a little unhappy.
has been chased and killed for so long, and it looks like these guys are going to be killed in a pit, and suddenly they stop chasing, and they can't spit out this breath they are holding.
"They'll come over, the carbon-based alliance's control over the galaxy is actually very weak. Moreover, Palasse had lost something that could change the tide of the battle, and it was impossible for the Palasse home planet to give up easily. Fang Yuan's gaze was very determined.
Half a month ago, Fang Yuan and Han Youwei alternately used the "Photon Jump" to forcibly use a small broken ship to dance on the tip of a Palese main fleet.
It can be seen how strong the effect of "photon transition" is.
Originally, the Palasse civilization had the "ghost fleet" of the Third Fleet of Pegasus, thanks to the commander of the fleet of Ulysses.
Now that Ulysses has been killed, it is equivalent to the loss of the "ghost fleet" that the Palasse civilization is proud of.
At the same time, the "photon transition" triangular star core is also missing.
There were supposed to be two "photon jumps", one in and one out, and one was gone.
This is a double whammy for the Palese civilization.
The Palese civilization will definitely not accept this kind of thing, and will inevitably order the Pegasus Third Fleet to chase back the "Photon Leap" star core.
Therefore, Fang Yuan was sure that the Pegasus Third Fleet would definitely chase after the Perseus Spiral Arm.
After all, to let a small wrecked ship like the Counterattack escape, with the pride of the Palese civilization gods, is a humiliation more unbearable than death.
