Chapter 361: Where Did the Gold Swallowing Beast Go?
Li Chunfeng had previously mentioned to Zhuang Yun that Professor Justin had researched a space confinement device that could harden a certain range of space, so that the warships in it could not make space jumps or travel faster than the speed of light.
Seeing the remnants of the Gold Eater fleet blindly fleeing, although the Imperial fleet could also chase and intercept it, every time it caught up, it could only destroy a group of enemy ships, and the other warships ran away again regardless of it.
Li Chunfeng transported Professor Justin's batch of experimental equipment to the vicinity of the battlefield and directly tested it in actual combat.
Three light years away from the battlefield, a fleet was quietly suspended in the void, and in one of the huge Xinfengshen-class battleships, Li Chunfeng and Justin were looking at the picture in the projection, and the other projection on the side showed the situation of those instruments.
"The effect of space confinement is okay, but the energy consumption is extremely large, and at present, it looks like there will be ten minutes later, and the energy will be consumed, and the space will return to normal." Justin said.
"Ten minutes? Well, it should be enough for them to wipe out this last remnant of the enemy. Li Chunfeng asked Zhi Brain to inform Wang Dingnan of this time.
"Lao Jia, it seems that your equipment can be initially used in actual combat, I think you can launch the first generation of products first, so that the empire's warships can be equipped." Li Chunfeng said.
Justin shook his head and said, "Führer, isn't it too anxious, now this device needs at least 240 units to be activated simultaneously to be effective."
The energy demand is also very large, and when it is installed on a battleship, as soon as this thing is opened, I am afraid that only one can be opened with multiple shields, which is too unsafe for the battleship.
The key point is that the area of action of 240 units is only 2 astronomical units, and the action time is only half an hour. If it weren't for the Imperial Fleet encircling the remnants of the Gold Devouring Beast fleet within this range this time, we wouldn't even be able to carry out the experiment. ”
Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Lao Jia, you're wrong. First of all, such equipment is not a common function, but it is necessary for every large fleet to have it as a special means of fighting the enemy.
Secondly, you will definitely continue to improve this device, but we are now at war with the Gold Eater, and we can't wait until the product is completely free to launch it for users to use, as is the case in peacetime.
Finally, this problem of energy consumption, under the protection of the fleet, the safety of these warships with equipment turned on is also guaranteed.
So, the most important thing is that you need to complete the improvement of the subsequent second-generation products as soon as possible. ”
Justin nodded: "What the Führer said is that now is wartime, we really can't pursue perfection too much, and it is more important to solve the problem first." ”
During the time of the conversation between the two, ten minutes passed quickly, and they pursued from the S326 star system all the way here, and finally wiped out the last remaining fleet of the Gold Devouring Beast.
In the entire S326 stellar system battle, the Gold Devouring Beast fleet, which once had as many as 700,000 warships, was completely wiped out by the Anemo Empire.
In the S326 star system, the sky at the location of the fourth planet has returned to normal, except that the void there is completely devoid of any matter.
Starting near the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the galaxy, along the escape route of the Gold Eaters, there are 20 large fleets of the Anemo Empire, which are patrolling and searching to avoid any fish that slip through the net.
At the same time, the spatial locators are all turned on to determine whether there are individual Gold-Swallowing Beast warships taking advantage of the chaos of space to jump and escape, so as to avoid the escape of Solda of the original Cele civilization.
A fleet led by the flagship of the Fengshen suddenly appeared near the final battlefield, escorted by a full 10,000 Emperor-class warships, indicating that this fleet was the Führer's escort fleet.
Among the countless warships on the battlefield, everyone is notified to enter the virtual world. When they enter the virtual world, they are guided into a modular world.
There, everyone lined up according to the formation of the fleet, and on the high platform in front of the queue, the head of the empire, Li Chunfeng, looked at them. For a time, "Wan Sheng!" The cry sounded.
All the fleet commanders and captains looked excitedly at the appearance of the Führer on the high platform in front of them, which made the Imperial soldiers who had just won a great battle cheer.
It was the largest battle the empire had ever experienced since its founding, and it was also the first battle in which the empire's soldiers were sacrificed.
Although the Anemo God Empire's fleet was overwhelmingly superior in numbers, it also seized the initiative on the battlefield due to the success of the sneak attack on the battle star. However, in the subsequent war, more than 60,000 warships were lost.
The desperate resistance of the Gold Devouring Beast fleet in the early stage of the battle caused the Imperial fleet to suffer greater losses, and the later pursuit battle turned into a rout. The Gold Devouring Beast fleet had no intention of fighting at all, so the battle losses of the Aeolian Empire's fleet were greatly reduced, and the final loss was fixed at more than 60,000 warships.
Including the clone captain, the Imperial soldiers paid more than 60,000 deaths in this battle, plus the losses of the previous 3rd Fleet in the sneak attack, more than 70,000 people.
This is also because the Aeolus Empire warships are highly intelligent, the personnel are only captains, and the fleets at all levels are only equipped with expert groups at the fleet level, and the number of people is only 10.
If, like the usual intelligent civilization, even a sixth-level civilization warship, the number of ships must be dozens of times that of the Aeolian Empire, then the losses in this battle will be at least one million.
It can be seen that Star Wars is very cruel.
"Warriors of the Empire, we have won an important battle! Let us pay a silent tribute to the heroes of the empire who died heroically! Li Chunfeng looked at the soldiers standing as solemn as a pine below, and said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, there was silence in the audience, and after three minutes.
Li Chunfeng spoke again: "The Gold Devouring Beasts are our former enemies, and they are the enemies of all intelligent life, about 60 years ago, they attacked more than a dozen interstellar civilizations living in this star field.
Slaughtered and devoured an unknown number of intelligent creatures, and also chased and killed fleeing intelligent creatures all the way, look at our war, the gold devouring beasts here alone have more than 700,000 warships, which is more than ten times the number of the triangular galaxy back then.
If we don't keep finding them and destroying them, then when they snowball, we'll be wiped out!
At that time, the universe will be a desert, and there will be no more intelligent beings!
Warriors of the Empire, would you like to see such a scenario? ”
"I don't want to!" The soldiers roared in unison.
Due to the energy of consciousness fed back into the virtual world, Li Chunfeng was in the virtual world at this time, and he could clearly feel the emotions of every consciousness that entered the virtual world.
Li Chunfeng knew the mood of the soldiers at this time, so he said loudly: "Then, let's find out the rest of the Gold Devouring Beasts together!" ”
After withdrawing from the virtual world, Li Chunfeng also convened a meeting of all the Grand Fleet-level commanders.
There is only one requirement, quickly formulate a corresponding search plan, start the search from this area first, and clean up the Gold Devouring Beast piece by piece to ensure that nothing is missed.
After handing over this matter to Wang Dingnan's front-line command, he took Professor Justin and the Führer's Escort Fleet through the continuously opened space gate and returned to the S128 galaxy.
There were also the transport ships that were accompanied by the transports, which were filled with some equipment left by the Gold Swallowing Beasts on the resource planets of the S326 galaxy, as well as a large number of wreckage of the Gold Swallowing Beast warships.
Li Chunfeng preliminarily identified that the metal smelting process of the Gold Swallowing Beast seemed to have improved again, and from some of the remaining equipment on the resource planet, it was also found that the metal smelting of the Gold Swallowing Beast this time was no longer completed by themselves, but through some kind of consciousness technology equipment.
Although this metal material is not as good as the Empire's super nanopolymers, it is also a very good material.
In the case of the limited production of super nano polymers, if this metal material of the Gold Swallowing Beast can be produced on a large scale, it will be very beneficial for the Imperial warships.
Of course, if you build on this and make further improvements, then of course it will be even more perfect.
After returning to the S128 galaxy, in the command hall of the Mars Führer Capital, I saw Zhuang Yun in a busy position.
"Has Wen Hao already set off?" Li Chunfeng didn't see Zhang Wenhao, so he asked.
Zhuang Yun nodded and said, "He has this opportunity, so he naturally hurriedly set off with the whole army, for fear that he won't be able to catch up with the Gold Devouring Beast." ”
"Well, Lin Tao and they found the coordinates of the Gold Swallowing Beast 8,000 light years away, did you transfer them to him?" Li Chunfeng then asked.
Zhuang Yun said: "It has been transferred to him, we have discussed it preliminarily, and we feel that it is necessary to approach that location quickly."
It's just that this time, from our estimated 3,000 to 5,000 light years, it has become 8,000 light years, which is really a test of our space door technology.
At present, we only have more transport ships, and we have prepared more antimatter energy, and use energy to ensure that we can open the space door and teleport many times. ”
"Zhuang Yun, you analyze it, it should have been almost 60 years since the Gold Swallowing Beast chased and killed the Nar Alliance and left this star field, maybe there are some seed groups of Gold Swallowing Beasts left in this star field in order to reproduce and develop on the spot.
However, why is it that this time in the S326 galaxy, the space gate will suddenly be connected to the system 8,000 light years away, and the 200,000 warships that will be reinforced in the future will come from there.
Could it be that in the star field of the Immortal Arm, there are no other gold-devouring beasts? So much so that they can only be reinforced from 8000 light-years away? Li Chunfeng asked.
Zhuang Yun thought for a while before he spoke: "Suppose the Nar Alliance does not perform space jumps, but only uses superluminal speed to escape, and at a speed of 300 times the speed of light, it will reach the coordinates of the Gold Devouring Beast from the edge of their star field, which is about 6,000 light years.
That is, they will run for 20 years without fighting, burying their heads and running away. Obviously, it is unlikely that they will run away all the time, and even if they do not fight, they must carry out energy and material harvesting and production, otherwise they will not be able to hold on.
However, with the technology of the sixth-level civilization of the Nar Alliance, it should be unrealistic not to use space jumping in the process of escaping, so if the Nar Alliance has not been wiped out by the Gold Devouring Beast, they should have crossed the Centaur Arm and entered the Shield Southern Cross Arm.
That's about 10,000 light-years away, but why would the Gold Swallowing Beast open the space door 8,000 light-years away and teleport back?
I think it should be that the S326 galaxy was originally a seed left by the Gold Eater, but after meeting us, this seed asked for help from the Gold Eater army, so the space door was opened over there to dock with S326 and send back reinforcements
As for why the Gold Eater army is 8,000 light-years away, I think it's probably just the closest point to S326 in their current area of control. ”
(PS: Why are the chapters at the beginning of the battle skipped?) Don't like battle plots? )
