Chapter 162: Reaction
At this point, the alien fleet, still quite far away from twilight, received information from the probe.
"Commander, the probe has made a new discovery."
The operator in charge of the probe reported and sent back the footage of the probe to Bokaul, the commander of the fleet.
What is shown on the screen is the rocker of the vigilant probe.
The familiar but unfamiliar fangs, although the appearance difference is much different from the original gatherer, but the overall appearance, can still give people a lot of similar associations.
Bocauer had read the information that Marven had given him about the enemy, and had firmly engraved the data of the monsters in the information in his mind, and reviewed it repeatedly, imagining the danger he might fall into, and how to deal with it.
This is the basic skill of a battlefield commander, and there may be 'accidents' on local small-scale battlefields to salvage the situation and turn the crisis into safety, but in macro battles, it is completely based on cold data, and the victory or defeat is already doomed before the war begins.
Therefore, as long as there is a possibility of tilting the scales of victory more on his side, a competent commander will never give up for the sake of 'trouble'.
The moment he saw them, Bokauer thought a lot about them for a moment.
The operation of the brain's electric flint was natural, and he linked the rocking pills with the fact that he had not been projecting objects into outer space on the surface of an alien planet.
Bocauer didn't have the idea of delving into how they had bypassed the blockade of autonomous ships, and there was more of a different question in his mind now - what were they going to do when they came to outer space?
This is a problem that cannot be ignored, especially after that sub-light strike.
The only explanation Bocaul could think of was that the enemy was preparing a killer plan for the fleet that was about to reach its destination.
Killer feature? So take this assumption as a true proposition...... Bocauer seemed to have grasped some key point.
Unknown Creatures + Surface Monsters + Orbital Starport + Autonomous Ship Blockade = ?
Combined with the previous sub-light strikes, the conclusion is that now that the distance is getting closer, the size of the fleet is impossible for the enemy not to see, in order to deal with it, they will have to prepare more powerful weapons, and once built, the blockade of autonomous ships will completely collapse, and at the same time, they should also find a way to deal with the last counteraction.
Otherwise, even if the superweapon is completed, it will be destroyed by the autonomous ship, which is equivalent to uselessness.
Thinking of this, Bocaul was in a cold sweat, but his commander quality was there, and there was no change on the surface, it was just his own personal feeling.
"Can you track it?" Bocaul asked.
"I'll try."
The operator who receives the command begins to enter action commands into the operator station.
Far away in the wreckage of Starport, the sphere probe, which was far away from the gatherers, also moved.
The shakyara, who was already on guard, became even more nervous.
They judged that it was alien stuff, and the most profound impact of alien stuff on the gatherer was only two words - 'danger'.
It's more dangerous than in the genetic memory before, and the super-giant kind of 'Dasha' doesn't know how many dimensions.
Before Hogu's return, the number of battles he had lost count had passed, and the alien creations had told the gatherers in iron and blood how many ways they could die.
"That thing is coming over!"
Da Zhuang reminded in the channel, and at the same time, he has already accumulated strength, and the overall function is adjusted to the best, ready to give it a go.
However, one individual is more responsive than it is.
A vague shadow flashed, and under the powerful effect of the monomolecular blade, the spherical probe revealed its neat cross-section to the gatherers.
"Whew, it's safe."
Shakyuru breathes a long sigh of relief as if he had completed a series of attack moves like a cloud.
"Probe Damage Confirmed, No. 5636-0992-2596."
The operator reported coldly, but the slightly disturbed breathing showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
He was not surprised by the damage to the probe, after all, it was a monster, and when he tracked down the unknown creature before, he also damaged a considerable number of probes.
It's just that the last picture makes him a little frightened, after all, a monster suddenly pounces on himself and attacks, and anyone will inevitably have a sense of palpitations.
This is the same reason as someone secretly patting the shoulder behind and being scared, and it has nothing to do with experience.
The operator summed up the information and reported it to Bocaul.
"Commander, they are sharp, the concealment of the camouflage coating is not ideal."
Probes are mostly optical camouflage, and while they are easy to spot against a monochromatic background, they are difficult to capture even the most sophisticated optical detectors in the Empire.
However, these are not the same for collectors, they see not only visible light, but also infrared microwaves and ultraviolet rays, which are rare to hide, even the darkest celestial black holes in the universe.
Bocaul fell into deep thought, it was impossible to give up, it was a joke on his own life, the survival of the entire fleet.
"Zoom out, pull most of the probes over, and keep a close eye on their every move."
If you can't do covert surveillance, you have to make up for it with numbers – Bocauer thinks.
The operator hesitated, but he was about to stop talking, Bocauer's order was in conflict with the previous one, and he needed to know the priority.
"Then search for that unknown creature......"
"That one is on hold for now, and it's a priority to monitor these creatures to see what they want to do."
This question had already been decided in Bokauer's mind, and at this time he had already regarded the unknown creature and the shakyan as a gang, that is, 'monitoring the gatherer' was equivalent to 'monitoring the unknown creature'.
"Understood."
The operator who received an affirmative answer immediately sat down at the desk to direct a large number of probes is not an easy task.
Bocower looked at the last picture of the probe in a daze, and the moment when Shakimaru waved his fang, he was born for a long time.
The originally hesitant expression suddenly became firm, and the killing intent that emerged.
"Transfer some of the autonomous ships to Starport."
Bocaul's order paused the movements of another group of people on the bridge, who were the ship's staff officers, responsible for the commander's general plan to supplement the details.
"Commander, in this way, there will inevitably be loopholes in the blockade network of low-earth orbit......"
"Blockade? Don't you see that there are already monsters breaking through? Now it's about how to salvage the situation. ”
Bocauer directly interrupted the staff officer, of course he had taken into account what the staff officer said, but not everything could be perfect.
Sometimes, it's time to know how to make trade-offs, like now.
The monsters had to be killed before they could do anything new - Bocauer.
