Chapter 218: Rescuing Xingyao City
The fleet hovers in the gravitational orbit of Triton, forming a circular defensive formation, which can not only save fuel but also facilitate the use of the planet's gravity to avoid movement, and now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, this is the best way.
Although space warfare looks more like air warfare, it is actually an upgraded version of naval warfare in principle, but compared with the civilian ocean, space warfare has added a vertical axis, which makes the battlefield factors more changeable and the factors that need to be considered have increased exponentially. Attacking the opponent's large units on a huge width, harassing them with a large number of small flying units in the front, and suppressing each other with heavy weapons in the rear are all very similar to the characteristics of naval warfare.
Mark also persuaded Ma Yan, but she still didn't want to rest, so he had to contact Asker again to see if he could help her.
"Don't we need to get in touch with the people in Star City? Not only Space City, but there are also many space stations in the solar system, and there should be people on them, so if everyone searches together, it is more likely to find the enemy. Mark was starting to worry about the situation in Space City, and they had spent a few days here, wondering if there were any survivors on Space City.
"No, their technology and hijacking era didn't make much progress before, maybe it will drag us back, and that crystal actually has guidance capabilities, maybe it can intercept information, it's better not to do more." Aske decisively refused, and looked at Mark thoughtfully, "You want to save them, right?" I can see it. ”
"Although we are here to get the crystallization this time, I really can't see death without help, the people trapped in Space City must be desperate, we are their only chance to be rescued......" Mark clenched his fists.
"You are still the same as back then, hot-blooded and disregarding the situation, I really don't know whether to call you impulsive or childish, but your choice can be proven correct in the end, this time...... I decided to give you a hand. ”
"Really?" Mark was overjoyed, he followed the fleet to come here of no use at all, he always felt a sense of powerlessness, even if there was something he wanted to do, he couldn't do anything, he didn't expect Aske to be willing to give him a chance.
"But as you can see, even with more enemies and fewer enemies, it will be difficult for us to resist its attack, and the fleet now has no extra ships to use for you." Asker paused at this point and said, "But I can lend you this ship." ”
"But...... Isn't this one of you a command ship? ”
"The command ship is not important, the person who commands is important, I will transfer to Ma Yan's spaceship now, you can drive away from this spaceship, I will leave a few capable assistants for you, you go to Xingyao City to explore the situation over there first, this ship is not equipped with weapons, and the impact on the fleet if you drive away is not great, but there is one thing you have to remember...... You must be cautious, you must report anything to us, and do not act without authorization. Aske reminded again and again.
"I understand!" Mark turned his head to look at Sun Tan behind him again, "You better stay here, it's safer for you to stay together." ”
"Hmph, do you know how to fly a spaceship? I want a spaceship. Sun Tan scoffed at Mark with a wink.
"This ...... Didn't Asker leave someone for me? ”
"I'd better go with you, always be safe, you think, but when you're awake, when you go on an adventure I didn't accompany you?" Sun Tan walked over and punched Mark, although he was already a gray-haired old man, as long as he stood with his brother, he felt that he was back to his youth, he dared to do anything, and he didn't have to worry about any consequences.
Soon his spaceship came to the top of the Barracuda, the two ships opened the interface, Asker came down with his two lieutenants and the accompanying meat ball creatures, and handed over the command of the spaceship to Mark, his command ship is called the Aquila, which is relatively small in size in a medium-sized spaceship, but it is still much larger than the Barracuda, before delivery, Asker transferred the radar module on the ship to the Barracuda, and then gave full authority to Mark's command.
When Ma Yan first learned about it, he was also against them taking risks, but after thinking about it carefully, he agreed, after all, it was more dangerous to fight on the battlefield with the fleet, and it might be safer for them to go to Xingyao City.
Asker left them with enough manpower, more than enough to operate the spaceship, but Sun Tan still insisted on being at the helm himself, every time before it was Mark who drove him, this time it was finally his turn, Star City was in the path of Callisto, in order to avoid being locked by the mysterious crystal, Sun Tan did not increase the speed too fast, it would take at least five days to reach Star City safely, Mark could only pray silently in his heart, now the people on it can still hold on, Even if they arrived, this small ship would not be of much help to them, and even if the entire fleet was used, it might not be able to save them all.
Not long after they left, Ma Yan's side was lucky to capture the traces of the mysterious crystal's movement, and the mysterious crystal actually launched another attack after attacking the fleet without success, but this time the target of the attack was not the fleet, but a space station far away from them, using the same means, this time the reconnaissance spacecraft discharged by Ma Yan recorded the process of the spacecraft sending out the crystal thorns, and the moment when the space station was destroyed.
"It's attacking indiscriminately! It doesn't seem to realize that the fleet is a greater threat to it, and that it is simply destroying other creatures in the solar system! Ma Yan saw the problem.
"But it doesn't look like a machine without intelligence, haven't you felt it from the previous battles? It will change its structure in response to attacks and its surroundings, it should have a very strong intelligence, and the spikes it launches also have some level of intelligence, and the entire crystal itself is a universal fortress that can change freely...... In other words, you can think about the muscles. "Asker made a very clear summary after reading the report of the last battle.
"Scouting team! Follow the trajectory of the spike launch! The fleet immediately went out, ready to encircle and annihilate the opposing side. Ma Yan decisively gave the order, and the reconnaissance plane at the front quickly found traces and found the traces of the other party.
The reason why the mysterious crystal had been undetectable had also been discovered, and an invisible coating had grown on its surface, and if it hadn't been for the fact that this attack had revealed its location, they might never have found it hidden.
