Chapter 242: The Age of Choice
"The first phase of combat missions was completed, 15 Tyranid warships were driven into the solar system, the First Fleet destroyed 10 warships of the opponent, captured 7 warships, and captured 271 Tyranid war criminals."
"One battleship of the First Fleet was slightly wounded, the armor was broken, 12 soldiers of the landing operation were wounded, and no one died."
Hatsuyuki reported the battlefield intelligence to everyone in the combat command center.
"Having captured 7 warships, captured less than 300 people, and there are still people injured on our side, it seems that the combat ability and fighting will of the Tyranid Empire are much stronger than when we simulated it." After listening to the report, he turned his head and said to Dong Qingchen.
"Well, that's right," Dong Qingchen nodded at the detailed report, then looked at him with a frown and said: "During the simulated battle, we have increased the opponent's various reactions by two percent, but according to the actual combat results, we still don't know enough about them, otherwise we can really be harmless." ”
Hearing Dong Qingchen say this, the garbled code was very calm, "This is a normal thing, you don't need to frown about these things, there is no war of the undead in the world, otherwise the war cannot be called a "war", relatively speaking, we have done well enough." ”
"What we can do is to draw nutrients from the real war and grow ourselves quickly, and only when we are strong will the war not befall us."
Nodding, Dong Qingchen said that he listened to the garbled words, in fact, he is not a sad person, otherwise he would not have his current status, but all the previous simulations were unharmed, and now there is damage, which makes him a little dissatisfied.
There is certainly a difference between actual combat and simulation, and there are flaws in intelligence, but there are also problems with the Deep Space First Fleet.
In the end, no matter how many interstellar wars have been simulated, this fleet is still a rookie fleet that has not been on the battlefield, and it is not surprising that there is such a situation, and they will definitely mature a lot after this battle.
As a novice fleet, their future is promising, and Dong Qingchen is still very optimistic about them.
This is followed by a chase that lasts almost a year until the flames of war burn into the orbit of Mars, which is the second step of the plan.
The Tyranid Empire's vanguard fleet is not the opponent of the Deep Space First Fleet at all, even if there is a difference between actual combat and simulation, but it is still very easy for the Deep Space First Fleet to completely annihilate them, at most it is to pay a little casualties.
The reason why they had to be driven into the solar system, and then carried out the second stage of the pursuit plan, was naturally for the "young to small" test of human civilization.
This plan has been implemented for a long time, and the space span is also relatively large, and it is necessary to keep chasing the remaining warships of the Tyranid Pioneer Fleet, and to destroy only one battleship before the other party touches the warships of the Ten Rings Alliance, and it is also a broken battleship, which is also a big test for the Deep Space Fleet.
Moreover, the Deep Space Fleet must also take this opportunity to enter the field of vision of all mankind, and there can be no negligence.
Fortunately, after the first "debriefing performance", the acting skills of the Deep Space Fleet have been sublimated and become more exquisite.
Only 22 of the 36 warships caught up, as if they lost fourteen ships in the fierce battle with the Tyranid covering fleet, even if not all of them lost their combat effectiveness, but this is also good news for the Tyranid fleet, because it means that the strength of the human fleet is not as strong as they thought at the beginning, as long as they are willing to work hard, the other party will still suffer heavy losses.
The Tyranid fleet is desperately rushing in the direction of the homeland, but they find that the human fleet is even more desperate than them, as long as there is the slightest chance to attack them, the human fleet will never give up, even if the battleship is damaged, it will attack them.
In this way, in the course of the pursuit, the Tyranid fleet lost three more ships, but on the other hand, the human fleet lost four.
It's just that before they could be happy, they were ambushed again, this time not by warships, but by the offensive weapons and self-detonation weapons that humans had arranged in advance in the solar system, causing them to lose a few more warships.
All of this is to prevent them from approaching the main planet of the human race, and it also proves that the things they speculated before are getting closer and closer to the truth.
That is, "the Human Alliance is indeed exhausted, and their greatest reliance is on this fleet".
This information is very important to the Tyranid fleet, as long as the main star of the human race is taken, then the previous losses are not called losses, and in an instant, their confidence soared, and they even began to take the initiative to abandon the battleship to delay this is the black fleet.
Just as the rest of the Tyranid fleet and the remaining fleet in Deep Space pretended to be chasing after you, the captured Tyranid soldiers were sent to the prisoner of war camp established by the Deep Space Group on the Deep Space Star.
Deep Sky Star is a dwarf planet newly discovered by the Deep Space Group in the Kuiper Belt, its volume is larger than Pluto, the mass is 1.5 times that of it, and it contains rich mineral resources, and then according to the international naming rules, it becomes a "Deep Sky Star", and the ownership is directly attributed to the Deep Space Group, but the outside world does not know it for the time being.
Before the Tylen fleet arrived, Dong Qingchen had already thought about how to deal with the prisoners of war, that is, to mine for him, and originally wanted to establish a prisoner of war camp on a known planet, but he didn't expect good news from the probe.
There is also a possible war in the future, and the captives that may be captured in the future will stay here for a while, no matter whether the two civilizations are at war or peace in the future, what the two sides say, anyway, the prisoner of war mine in the deep sky star is their first stop.
And those captured battleships were also inspected here first, and after removing all the signaling devices and positioning devices, they were immediately towed to the interstellar shipyard, although they were already backward warships, but they could still get a lot of useful things.
The Deep Space Group is not in a hurry to carry out the examination plan, but the human race, or the Ten Rings Alliance, is in a hurry.
According to the information they have, the invading fleet of the Tyranid Empire has reached the edge of the solar system, which is equivalent to the invaders have arrived at the doorstep, and they may break into the door with guns at any time, how can they not be in a hurry.
Although they have built a lot of warships by cracking the technology of the Octopus research ship, the technology of these warships is not as good as the technology of the Octopus spaceship, and it cannot be compared with the advanced warships of Tyran, after all, they are all civilian technology, and the weapons and equipment of the human race are barely enough, so they have no confidence at all.
There is also "an evil alien invader attacking", this news has been sealed for several years, should this news be announced to all mankind, and if so, how should it be announced?
The most important thing is that the "Titanium Clan" adjustment ship promised by Dong Qingchen has not arrived, and even the "Earth Titanium Clan" who has been in contact with the alliance has no information, and I don't know what happened.
Now that things have basically reached the final stage, the spaceship factions of several countries are ready to run away, and the one-year buffer time is their final bottom line.
It would definitely take a while for the Tyranids to take over Homestar, and with a year's buffer time, it would be enough for them to run a long way.
Even if they feel that they have a home star to feed these Tyranids, they may not be able to see the little shrimp Tyranids, as long as the Tyranids do not chase them, they can remain dormant until they fly to a suitable planet where they can continue human civilization.
They really want to preserve the future of humanity.
