On the flanks of the expeditionary fleet, as well as in the rear, a certain number of frigates were arranged. The www.biquge.info main legion of the Phantom Escort Fleet took the lead in flying in front of the fleet and opened a safe distance from it. This safe distance not only satisfies the requirements of the escort fleet's rapid return to defense, but also prevents the main body of the rear fleet from being involved in a sudden battle situation.

In total, there were six Mirage frigates, and nearly 800 warships formed a wedge-shaped combat readiness formation directly in front of the expeditionary force. Nearly 100 Phantom reconnaissance ships were scattered around the outermost edge of the fleet, shouldering the task of information reconnaissance and constituting the first defensive barrier of the expeditionary force.

As time passed, the expeditionary fleet finally got closer to those asteroids.

"What a wicked! How could you encounter such a massive asteroid here, and there are three in a row. ”

In charge of the expeditionary force's forward reconnaissance mission was the 3rd Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet. According to the previous experience of space flight, it is extremely rare to encounter three massive asteroids at the same time a few light years away from the stars.

"All reconnaissance ships are on high alert and closely monitored!" Yu Liang, the captain of the Third Phantom Reconnaissance Fleet, also felt that it was very inappropriate, and he repeatedly emphasized it all the way.

The threat of the asteroid is not to collide with the fleet, which does not even need to adjust its direction to fly safely by the asteroid's side.

Because the expeditionary force has been flying in the fourth dimension of four-dimensional space, there is no need to worry about colliding with any celestial body in three-dimensional space. In the previous stealth route, the reason why the fleet needed to change its route and orbit between the stars was to avoid being detected by the other side because it was too close to the possible cosmic civilization.

For the civilized world that has mastered the technology of the four-dimensional space, even if there is a three-dimensional space, it can still try to detect the movement in the four-dimensional space. For example, a ship is sailing in the ocean, on a two-dimensional plane, and although it cannot make contact with a fighter plane flying high in the sky, it can observe the presence of a fighter jet in the sky through a detector.

And the cosmic civilization that has not mastered the four-dimensional space technology is like a ship with only a horizontal field of vision, they don't know, and they can't look up at the sky, so naturally they can't spot the plane passing by in the sky.

In other words, if this unknown cosmic civilization did not possess four-dimensional space technology, the expeditionary force would only need to drive straight on the fourth dimension and pass by them like ghosts and ghosts without being noticed.

This may be the reason why the human beings who once lived on the earth have never observed the advanced cosmic civilization. Perhaps, the advanced cosmic civilization has passed by us many times and leisurely observed our every move, but at that time, we were like ants and could not "look up" to see their existence.

Of course, it is almost impossible to directly attack a target in the new dimension of the four-dimensional space from the three-dimensional space, because the position of the target observed and aimed in the three-dimensional space is actually inaccurate. A cannon bombarded the past, as if it were hitting a phantom.

This is also one of the reasons why the expeditionary fleet dares to rub shoulders with this cosmic civilization, if the other party does not ambush the military force in the four-dimensional space in advance, even if the expeditionary fleet is discovered, it can only stare dryly and let it go.

"Captain Yu, I think these three asteroids look brighter." One of the fighters in charge of monitoring casually mentioned it.

"What did you say!?" Yu Liang seemed to have keenly captured something from this sentence.

"Well, I mean these asteroids look a little brighter than the average asteroid in deep space......"

The soldier's scalp tightened, he didn't expect that his casual remark would make such a big reaction to the captain.

"Brighter!?" Yu Liang glanced at the data of the monitoring system, and said expressionlessly, "It is indeed relatively bright......

"That's it, that's it." The soldier was relieved to hear that the always stern captain also thought so, and hurriedly agreed.

"No!! right"

Yu Liang suddenly shouted, but the warrior was almost frightened by this fierce shout.

"Such a faint red dwarf star should emit extremely limited light, and the reflectivity of these three asteroids is too high." Yu Liang immediately made a judgment, "There is a problem!" There must be a problem! ”

"Enable the high-power detector!" Yu Liang ordered decisively.

"However, the upper peak forbade us to use ......."

Before the young soldier could finish speaking, he suddenly received a slap on the head.

"What nonsense! Hurriedly! I'll carry it if something goes wrong!! Yu Liang said noncommittently.

"Yes!!"

Five minutes later, there was a dead silence in the operations command room of the Third Reconnaissance Fleet.

What is presented to everyone is a scene that is enough to make people with dense phobia feel devastated. Yu Liang saw countless dark spots floating around the orbits of the three asteroids, almost everywhere, as if blocking the route in front of the expeditionary fleet.

The dark spots have a smoother surface and become the target of reflecting the light of the star, and it is the light reflected by these dense dark spots that increases the brightness of the asteroid by an order when it enters the field of view.

"What are these!?"

"Is it interstellar rubble!?"

"No, no, the surface is too smooth!"

The fighters speculated.

"It's made of metal!!" Yu Liang's eyes widened, "It's a man-made object!" It's all man-made! ”

"How is this possible, this, this number is at least billions!" The warriors' jaws dropped.

"Quick, report to General Sergei immediately!!"

Yu Liang immediately made a decision and sent the highest level of alarm signal to the central command center of the expeditionary force!

......

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

After the information of the reconnaissance ship arrived, the next moment, all the flying units of the expeditionary fleet were suddenly alarmed!!

In the Central Command Center of the Expeditionary Force Fleet.

"It's been discovered after all!" Yuan Haochen's face was cold, and he said quietly.

"Leader, what the hell is that dense stuff!?" Sergei asked solemnly.

"The cognitive differences between different cosmic civilizations are too great to be certain for the time being. However, it is more likely that there is some kind of triggered weapon. ”

"Space mines, billions of space mines!?" Sergei asked rhetorically in surprise.

"Maybe it's not a simple space mine." Yuan Haochen added.

"Leader, do you want to go around, or do you want to keep going!?" Sergei shouted, "Give the order!" ”

"Detour? Other directions may not be smooth, let the escort fleet go to explore the reality of the other party first!! Yuan Haochen ordered.

"Yes!!"

"Guys, get ready to fight!!" Sergei shouted and turned to the combat command center.

"The first, second, and third phantom convoys take the lead, and the other combat units are on both wings!!"

"Yes!!"

Operational orders are issued, and a number of military staff officers and commanders are responsible for drawing up operational tactics and strategies, while specific combat operations are operated by computer systems.
