Chapter 286: Lost Contact

About millions of kilometers from Callisto, a huge swarm of warplanes is speeding through the dark universe.

Ahead of their course, Gemini's mechs had already reached the interception route one step ahead.

However, just as the captain of the Feather Clan expected, after the distance between the two sides approached 300,000 kilometers, there was no chance for the other party to attack, and the group of fighters suddenly began to break into pieces, scattered into hundreds of squads and headed in all directions!

These fighters are quite maneuverable, and their numbers are there, making it almost impossible for the Mech Units of Gemini to intercept them effectively.

Therefore, they could only watch as these warplanes flew rapidly past their surrounding star fields......

……

The bridge of the Ranger.

"Sure enough, they scattered! Seemingly...... Your guess is right! After listening to the report of his subordinates, the Sea Clan captain looked a little unpleasant.

"Hmmm! But I'm a little concerned, the maneuverability of the other party's fighter seems to be better than I imagined......" Captain Yu Clan frowned as he looked at the fighter on the screen.

In terms of mobility alone, the opponent's fighters are not weaker than their own mecha troops, and he originally wanted to let his own mecha troops use the opportunity of high-speed misdirection to seize a few fighters to test their depth.

Unexpectedly, these fighters chose to avoid at a large angle when they were at a distance of 300,000 kilometers, and the propulsion acceleration performance was quite good! This frustrated his plan.

Of course, what they didn't know was that this kind of fighter named "Little Bee" by Nie Yun was an unmanned fighter specially made for this moment, and its appearance was somewhat similar to that of the silver shuttle, but the wings were extremely short.

This fighter is not equipped with a force field shield, and even the fuselage defense is as fragile as a piece of paper that can be broken at the slightest stab, and the weapon system is even equipped with a laser cannon that is not too strong.

However, the opposite of the weak offensive and defensive performance of the slag is its super mobility!

The 4-meter-long fuselage, 70% of which are propulsion devices, uses the nuclear power engine that Nie Yun has just developed, and the power is indeed very strong, but because it uses ordinary materials, its theoretical lifespan is ......

Sorry, Nie Yun, who has no concept of after-sales service, only achieved a yield rate of 80% within 12 hours of full power operation, that is to say, when it will be scrapped, it all depends on the face......

"Humph! The other party doesn't want to expose the performance of these fighters before attacking the Ranger! The Sea Clan Captain snorted coldly.

"Hmmm! In any case, don't underestimate the enemy, let the mecha unit return at full speed, everyone prepare for defense, and at the same time keep an eye on the opponent's warships to prevent the opponent from making any small moves! Captain Yu said.

"Good!"

……

As the group of fighters approached, the two warships of the Gemini civilization quickly entered a combat-ready posture.

The energy furnace is fully opened, the shield power is increased, and all weapon systems of the whole ship begin to be charged, entering a high-altitude combat state that can be activated at any time!

And the people on board were equally busy......

"The maintenance team, conduct a final self-inspection of the fire control system, and the maintenance robot is on standby!"

"Group A goes first, Group B is a backup, ready to respond at any time, as mentioned above, the enemy this time is not simple! Everyone cheered me up! ”

"Yes!"

……

On the personnel passage inside the battleship, groups of well-dressed soldiers came and went.

Several members of the combat squad wore tight-fitting combat uniforms and hurried to the hangar, and just after they passed, in the ventilation pipe that was only the thickness of an arm's top, suddenly "click, click" crawled over a small silver spider, it poked its head around, and then directly bit through the wall of the pipe next to it, and continued to explore along the dense cables next door......

Such a scene is constantly playing out in the hidden corners of the two forest rangers.

"Arsenals, communication modules, power compartments, energy compartments, gravity devices, life-sustaining systems...... Well! This is...... Control center? Nie Yun, who was controlling the mechanical insect with his eyes closed on the Seawolf, suddenly opened his eyes......

……

The bridge of the Sea Ranger.

"Report to the captain, there are 5 minutes left before the swarm of enemy aircraft enters our firing range!" Zhi Brain reported.

"Humph! Very good, the other party actually dared to fool us, except for the main gun, the rest of the weapons gave me full firepower, and killed them all without leaving any gap!

We don't need to use intrigues and tricks, strength is king! Don't they want to see our combat effectiveness? Then let them see how my sea clan fights! The Sea Clan captain stared at the star map and gave the order with a snort.

"Yes! Long live the Sea Clan! The soldiers in the bridge replied in unison with high morale.

The captain of the Sea Clan nodded with great satisfaction, and he was just about to give the next battle order, but the bridge suddenly darkened, and the lights went out together, plunging into darkness.

Before everyone could react to what was happening, the backup energy source was activated urgently, and the light in the bridge was lit up again, illuminating the bridge and the shocked look on everyone's faces......

"What's going on!?" The Sea Clan captain looked confused.

"Alert! Energy system failure, switch backup power!

Alert! The communication system is malfunctioning, the reason is unknown!

Alert! The Ranger control system malfunctioned......" The shrill continuous sirens startled everyone.

"Brain! What the hell is going on?! The Sea Clan captain roared.

However, the intelligent brain, which has always been responsive, is strangely silent this time! Even the shrill sirens stopped abruptly!

The Ranger is a highly automated, state-of-the-art warship, and at its core is the ship's control system, if something goes wrong......

There was a deathly silence in the bridge, and uneasiness began to appear on everyone's faces......

……

Feather Ranger.

"What? Lost contact? Captain Feather's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, just now, we lost contact with the Sea Clan Rangers. However, after investigation, the communication equipment of our ship is completely normal, and no signs of communication interference have been found! The crew of the report was also full of doubts, completely unclear about what was happening.

The face of the captain of the Yu clan gradually became gloomy.

There was no communication interference, but the Sea Clan warships did not respond to their own communications......

The attack aircraft group of the Ante Empire is close at hand, and it just so happens that at this time, his staunch ally suddenly lost contact, this unusual phenomenon, saying that it has nothing to do with the Ante Empire, he absolutely does not believe it!

But obviously no attack fluctuations were observed, and the Sea Clan's warships did not show any signs of damage, how did the Ante Empire do it!?

Could it be another soul attack like soul impact? Such a thought came to the mind of the captain of the Feather Clan.

Then his mind flashed the scene of the current sea clan battleship wailing, everyone covering their heads and howling......

Could it be that it is already within range of the opponent's fighter planes now? But why are you okay?

"No, if the other party has this ability, there is no need to test it at all, and he can destroy us directly." He immediately shook his head and dismissed the possibility.

The problem should not be external, then it can only come from ...... Interior?

Thinking of the familiar shape of the Ante Empire's warship, a very terrifying thought flashed through the Feather Clan's Captain's heart......
