Chapter 15 Signals
However, just as they were slowly moving in the direction they had planned, Mo Ran suddenly received a signal from an observer that had just been launched, a signal from the Protoss. Mo Ran instantly felt a little incredible. This is the territory of the undead, how can there be a signal from the Protoss. And if such a signal is discovered by the undead, then it is impossible for these people to live.
"Commander." Erwin shouted in a low voice, and when he learned the signal from the adjutant, Moran fell into deep thought. "It's a trap, and some of the Protoss warriors who died in battle will end up using the same method to lure their companions into the trap. This has happened too many times. ”
"Open the star map." Mo Ran said in a deep voice, and the adjutant opened the star map, which also marked the discovery signal of the planet, which was a rocky planet near a blue star. Red magma flows from place to place on the planet, and the planet has a huge companion star, with the two planets revolving around a point between them.
"It's a trap." Erwin whispered again, apparently very interested in the signal. Although she had not experienced anything like this, she had heard of it. The undead control some of the Protoss who died in battle, and use the signals of some Protoss to trick the surrounding fleets or landing troops into traps. Therefore, each star region ignores this kind of signal in the undead star region.
"I know." Mo Ran hesitated to answer. What puzzled him was that there didn't seem to be anything special about this place, and if it was, it would be a trap that had to be placed in a strategically valuable place. Moreover, the patrol of the surrounding undead clan is only average, and there is no big gap with other places. The signal is repeated every once in a while, and when decrypted, it is a distress signal.
"Didn't the Protoss already bind the signal transmitter to the vital signs of the Protoss warriors? If the Protoss warrior dies, the transmitter will also stop working! Moran turned to look at Erwin. Erwin was stunned, Mo Ran was talking about the latest equipment, and the equipment in Erwin's fleet was still old equipment, so naturally there was no such setting.
"Let's analyze that planet first!" After hesitating for a moment, Mo Ran whispered. At this time, the signal also stopped. Apparently this signal was sent at intervals, apparently to avoid detection by the undead ships.
The emitting planet zooms in in front of it in a three-dimensional projection, and finally occupies the entire platform, where it slowly rotates. It's a planet with a very harsh environment, at least for Moran. But if they were born in a civilization full of such volcanoes, this place would be like a fairyland for them.
The signal was only two seconds, but it was enough for the adjutant to identify the source, which was on the top of an extinct volcano, and there was an open space around it that was suitable for the landing force.
"I feel like this is a trap, after all, we are now in the depths of the Undead Star Zone, and the possibility of the Protoss arranging a team here is very low, even if there is a team, how do they survive?" Erwin whispered, although the mechanism of the signal transmitter has been changed now, it still can't reassure Erwin, after all, he has suffered too many losses before.
On the other side, Wanliu sent a signal. Ask them how the investigation is going. "We are preparing to move on to the next location for reconnaissance, and there are no more discoveries right now." Mo Ran replied gracefully. Then turn your attention to that planet again.
"Erwin, you take the fleet to scout the next star system, and I'll take a battleship to take a look." After hesitating for a moment, Mo Ran whispered. "Adjutant, check the situation around that planet."
"The gravitational pull is normal, there is no special light signal, heat energy signal. But we just put a detector there, and if the local fleet were hidden in the gravitational range of the star, we wouldn't be able to detect it. After all, the sheer mass and light of the stars are large enough for a small fleet to hide within. The adjutant whispered, and it was the same opinion as Erwyn, and it was not advisable to take the risk.
"Then it's decided. Anyway, it's just my battleship, and if the undead have any traps, at most they will only lose one of our ships, and if it weren't for the traps, we could at least bring back a trapped team. What do you think? Moran looked at Erwin.
"Let me go, Commander. If it's a trap, at least you're worth more than me. Erwin said immediately.
"Don't argue, this is how it will be done, I feel that there should be a landing force on it, but why they are here is not very clear." Mo Ran whispered. Most of the planet is covered in lava, and if there are any living beings, they are supposed to be very vulnerable. "And there aren't a lot of undead visiting ships around here, maybe a combat team accidentally came here, and it's not a trap."
"Let me go! I'll bring them back safely. Erwin replied. During this time together, she could also feel that Mo Ran and Wan were cultivating them. If such a dangerous thing is left to the commander, she will definitely be criticized when she returns.
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. However, you also have to find a way to deal with the surrounding starports. Remember, intelligence is much more important than me. If you can get detailed information from the undead clan, it will definitely be a great achievement. Moran comforted Erwin. Their main task now is to find the starport of the undead and then obtain information. Even if the undead clan's starport destroys the information inside, they can still find out the information of the ships that have been replenished in this starport, and then they can get good information according to the analysis of the situation.
Erwin hesitated and nodded. "I'd better let the other battleship go! You're here to stay. She whispered. After all, Mo Ran's safety is much more important than her safety. What's more, there is Wanliu over there, if there is anything, she is not easy to explain.
"This is the only thing I can do." Looking at the signal translated by the adjutant, it was a text from the Celestial Empire. "This is the Second Brigade of Long Yan, we request to be evacuated." That's all the information in those two seconds. Others went, and Mo Ran was not very relieved. And he also wanted to know why the warriors of the Dragon Flame Legion appeared in this place.
Seeing Mo Ran's insistence, Erwin didn't have much to do. "In that case, you'd better bring a formation over. If there is any danger, you should be on guard. ”
Mo Ran shook his head. "Just give me more landing teams. It's not a good idea to spread out right now. Moran's words silenced Erwin. They are not safe now, although the possibility of encountering the Undead Clan's voyage-class battleship is relatively small, but the possibility of encountering the space-class battleship formation is very high. She knew that her strength, without twice the strength of the undead battleship, she would fail miserably.
"Alright, don't say more. I'm going to get ready to go now. You should also hurry up and take care of the things arranged by Wanliu. Mo Ran looked at Erwin and smiled softly. Although Erwin was much taller than him, she still showed enough respect for many times.
"Okay, I'll finish the task as soon as I can, and then I'll go there and pick you up." Erwin said in a deep voice. She couldn't understand the message from the signal, but she understood that it was the reason why Mo Ran had to go. She quietly sent the message to Wanliu. "Maybe there's something Commander Wanliu can do."
"I see." In the end, Wanliu only used this sentence to restore Elwin, and at this time, Mo Ran was just about to leave the battleship. Wanliu analyzed more than Elwin, and she knew the words. If this is a trap, then the undead will definitely use the language of the Protoss to set up the trap, and will definitely not use the language of the Celestial Empire. And this team should know this, if there is a fleet of Protoss nearby, if they receive such a signal, they just need to check it, and they will soon get the information confirmed. If the undead intercepted this signal, they would only think it was garbled characters. After all, there are still very few humans within the Undead Clan, and the two-second setting will make the Undead think that this may be just a dilapidated signal transmitter of the Protoss.
After all, after so many years of war, landing operations have been carried out on many planets, especially some resource planets, which are the focus of contention between the Protoss and the Undead.
Sometimes, the combat units that have just landed will have to hide because of the withdrawal of the fleet, waiting until the enemy fleet has left to send a signal for reinforcements. Battles between warships often do not last long, but once they have control of the theater, most of the landing teams are also facing death. Some of the worn-out transmitters are left all over the battlefield.
There are a lot of things like this, so the undead don't care much about those sporadic signals, and when those signals run out of energy, they will naturally stop.
After thinking about this, Wanliu knew that this mission was not a trap for the undead clan, but really a combat team of Long Yan on that planet. She doesn't care much about this kind of thing, she just replies that she knows.
Erwin was also a little relieved after getting Wanliu's reply, when Mo Ran went to a battleship and summoned the landing troops on the other three battleships, she also led the fleet to continue to carry out the tasks assigned by Wanliu, and at this time she could only rely on herself for everything.
