After listening to Atlas's report, the entire command module fell silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a few minutes, a few words popped out of Zhou Xin's mouth, "This-this-loss-" After so long, he still did not recover from the shock he had before.

"The damage is really much worse than expected." Although Dart's heart was also surprised, his words were still relatively calm, "I'm afraid that the next days of the Kazran Republic will not be easy. ”

"It's not just a bad feeling." Spred continued, "In the previous battle, the Kazlan could only barely resist the attack of the Eun, and now that the productivity is still reduced, I am afraid that the balance of war will be tilted in favor of the Ewen Empire." ”

"It's not that serious yet." "At least there's a little bit of the foundation of the Kazlan fleet, the mothership is still intact, there should be some neutron matter, and as for the normal warship—" he turned to Atlas and asked, "How's the battle between the two fleets going in space?" ”

"Two hours ago, the commander of the Kazran fleet seemed to realize that it was too late to rush back to the mainland to support, so he turned around and attacked the Eun fleet again." The little girl replied, "However, the Eun fleet did not fall in love, and as soon as the Kazran fleet began to show the intention of counterattacking, they all turned around and retreated. Now the Kazran fleet is pursuing the Eun fleet, and now it has reached the territory of the Eun Empire. As she spoke, she released a picture of the battlefield.

As the little girl said, the Kazran fleet in the picture is closely following the Eun fleet, and the distance between the two sides is just right to stay within the extreme range of the Kazran battleship. While pursuing, the enraged Kazran fleet continued to pour its firepower on the Ewen fleet in front of them. However, because it was just above the limit, the speed of the missiles launched by the Kazlan fleet had already dropped to a very low level when they actually came into contact with the Eun fleet, and the fleeing Eun fleet easily intercepted the missiles.

Looking at the fleets of both sides chasing and fleeing, Dart suddenly said, "You say, will the Ewen fleet arrange some traps waiting for each other in front?" ”

Hearing Dart's words, Zhou Xin's heart couldn't help but be shocked, "Don't say it, looking at the Eun's fleet's straightforward escape attitude, maybe there is really something waiting for the Kazlan people in front." ”

"Maybe it's really because after overloading the weapon system twice, the Eun fleet is no longer capable of fighting?" Spred, however, offered a different view.

"Maybe it's a possibility." Darth nodded, then continued, "Now that the Kazlan fleet is approaching the continent of the Eun Empire, if the Euns have any other means that we don't know yet, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can see them." ”

As soon as Dart's words fell, everyone saw that the pursuing Kazlan fleet began to slow down significantly, and the distance between them and the Eun fleet was rapidly increasing at a visible speed.

"What did Ewen do? Why did the Kazran fleet begin to slow down? Zhou Xin asked with a puzzled expression. Hearing this question, many people in the command cabin shook their heads blankly.

"Do you mean?" Dart's tone turned bad.

"What do you mean?"

Dart shook his head and didn't answer, just pointed to the screen and continued to motioned for the others to continue. Then, everyone saw a very strange picture on the screen, the speed of the Kazran fleet slowed down in a short time, and it didn't take long for it to stop completely. And then, the whole fleet actually began to turn back en masse. Suddenly everyone's faces showed disbelief.

"I'm not mistaken. Was the Kazlan fleet attacked by the opposing side? Spred exclaimed, surprised, "Why would they turn around if they didn't?" ”

With a long sigh, Dart replied, "It's still their cautious mentality, the commander of the Kazlan fleet must have thought something similar to mine, thinking that behind such a smooth pursuit, there must be a trap for the Eun, so he stopped." ”

"Is it necessary to be so cautious? In this way, didn't they once again miss the best opportunity to attack Eon's fleet? Spred's tone was still a little unconvinced.

"It is necessary to preserve strength." This time, Zhou Xin agreed, "They must already know the situation in the country, and now for the Kazlan people, as long as they drive the Yunn people back, it is already the best result." If the fleet suffered unnecessary losses due to the fleet's recklessness, thus giving the Euns another chance to counterattack, then the Kazran fleet that retreated to the home defense would be even more uncomfortable. Seeing that Spred was crumbling, Zhou Xin added, "I know you want to say that there are still motherships and neutron weapons on the Kazlan side, but this can only be used as a surprise weapon, if you lose the resistance of the ordinary warships in front, you will not be able to resist the siege of the Ewen fleet by relying on these means alone." ”

"The captain is right." This time Dart made a rare agreement with Zhou Xin on military issues, "Although it may not be possible to encounter the trap set by the Eun, but in the case of a significant reduction in productivity, the Kazlan people dare not and cannot take such a risk." If this battle deep into the enemy's hinterland fails, then it will be difficult for them to have the same good luck as before to turn the tables. ”

"I have to say that Commander Ewen really knows the other party well enough. Both times the same ploy fooled the Kazrans. Zhou Xin sighed, "Only if Commander Kazlan dares to make a decisive decision once, the Eun fleet will not only suffer such a little loss, but will even suffer a crushing defeat in the war." ”

As he spoke, the U-turn Kazran fleet had already begun to retreat as fast as it could. This time, after the previous battle, the Eun fleet, which had long since lost much combat power, was no longer capable of making any more pursuits, and even the speed of its flight had slowed down. In this way, they slowly flew towards the southern continent.

"There should be a long period of calm between the Republic of Kazlan and the Empire of Eun in the future." Dart looked at the screen and said, "The Republic of Kazran is busy restoring order in the country and rebuilding the various facilities and buildings that have been damaged after the attack. And the Ewen Empire is not much better, having lost so many motherships, it may not be easy to recover. ”

"And, in fact, both sides are overdrawing the productive forces of the whole country in this war." Atlas added, "Both of them have reduced a lot of domestic non-military production to a level that barely sustains everyone, and if this battle continues for a longer time, I am afraid that if they don't have to fight, their country will naturally collapse." Brother Captain, you don't know, in fact, a few days ago, the phenomenon of starvation began to appear in the countries of both sides, and the country's top leaders have begun to systematically eliminate the elderly in the country. ”

"It's horrible." Hearing the little girl's report, a chill broke out in Dart's heart, "It's really two civilizations born for war, and they can do this for the sake of war." ”

"It can only be said that the Eun Empire is, but the Republic of Kazran has been forced to be like this." Zhou Xin corrected.

"The Republic of Kazlan is really a bit pitiful, and it was forced like this by the other party." Spred said in a sad tone.

Spred's words made everyone in the command cabin inevitably have some sad looks, and seeing this situation, Dart opened his mouth to remind: "Okay, there's no time to feel sad for them." In defense, the Kazlans have consumed a lot of neutron matter, and in order to prevent them from really running out of neutron matter, it is time for us to think about our actions quickly. ”

Dart's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the command cabin tense, and hearing his reminder, Zhou Xin also thought about it all of a sudden, and he asked: "Atlas, didn't the medium-sized wreckage that fell near Central City not long ago cause a six-magnitude earthquake?" That should be enough to get the seismic detector on the probe to work, don't tell me you're only focused on investigating the damage in Kazlan and forget about the most important thing. ”

"How so?" The little girl said coquettishly, "People have paid attention to those detectors in the central city for the first time." ”

"And the result?"

"According to the analysis of seismic wave readings, there is indeed a huge, regular space under the central city." Atlas replied seriously, "However, because the accuracy of the seismograph is not very high, the location of the entrance and exit has not yet been found, and the raw data sent back by the detector is being analyzed in more detail." Then she pouted, "Originally, they planned to find the location of the entrance and then inform the captain's brother." ”

"Okay, okay, it's okay if I'm wrong to blame you." Hearing the tone of the little girl's voice, Zhou Xin hurriedly spoke out to reassure her.

"That's pretty much it."

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Xin continued with a urging tone: "Now our top priority is how to enter that underground base, Atlas, analyze the results as soon as possible, after finding the entrance to the underground base, I'm afraid it will take us some time to find a way to get in." ”

"Got it."

Within a few days, Atlas found the entrance to the base beneath the city. To their surprise, the entrance to the underground base was not located somewhere within the city as they had expected, but was placed in the middle of the defensive line on the outskirts of the city that they had seen in the first place.

"No wonder we haven't found it for so long." When he heard Atlas's report with a slightly excited expression, Zhou Xin's face showed a look of sudden realization, "It turns out that we have been looking in the wrong direction all along. ”

"It's a bit unexpected." Spred said thoughtfully, and then he recalled Demancha's previous words, "Maybe the two lines of defense of the central city that Demancha mentioned are not aimed at the city itself, but against the underground base. The residents of Central City didn't know about the existence of that underground base, so they thought that there were two lines of defense on the periphery of Central City. But in fact, the central city itself exists as a line of defense, and the purpose is to cover up the underground base. ”

Listening to Spred's analysis, Zhou Xin's face showed a rather approving look. However, the excited Dart didn't have the patience to continue listening, and he urged: "Don't care about the first line of defense, the second line of defense, let's think about how to enter the underground base first." ”

Zhou Xin did not answer, but turned his gaze to the little girl on the screen.

As if sensing Zhou Xin's gaze, Atlas's brows furrowed slightly, "I'm afraid this matter is not so easy. Not to mention the defense of the base itself, the entrance itself was located in the middle of the first line of defense, and it was surrounded by dense sentry guns. Although the detector is small and not easy to spot, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not trigger the defense of the sentinel cannon during the investigation of the entrance. Not to mention the fact that there are other means of defense of the entrance inside the base. ”

After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin's brows couldn't help frowning. At this time, Spred looked at the scope of the underground base depicted on the screen, and asked: "It stands to reason that there should be more than one entrance and exit for such a huge base, haven't you found other entrances?" ”

"That underground base has three entrances." The little girl rotated the screen to reveal the passage hidden behind, "But there is no difference between the three entrances, except for the different directions, they are all located in the middle of the first line of defense. It is estimated that their internal structure should be similar, so it is okay to choose any one to investigate. ”

"It seems that there is no way to take advantage of it, so it can only be forced." While listening to the conversation between Spred and Atlas, Zhou Xin thought about it, and finally he came up with a more secure plan, "Atlas, let the probes go to the entrance one by one to try." In the case of trying not to cause an alarm, try to find out if there are any other means of defense at the entrance of the base besides the sentry gun, and then find a way to enter the underground base. Remember, if you fail, don't repeatedly explore an entrance, and try to disguise it as some kind of accident. Even—" After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Xin continued, "Even disguised as a flying machine sent by the Ewen Empire." ”

"That's a good idea." Dart laughed, "Anyway, the hatred between the two civilizations should be almost full, and one more thing is nothing now." ”

Next, after everyone discussed some of the details, the investigation of the entrance to the underground base of Central City officially began......
