Chapter 126: The Verge
After hearing Commander Xiaobo's report, the commander-in-chief, Admiral Newke, did not answer immediately, but stared at the coordinates in the holographic screen of the mothership command center and fell into deep thought.
Now that the vanguard fleets of the two sides are only 0.5 light-years away, if the Maltese pentagonal fleet advances further, the two sides will lose their due buffer zone and engage each other in close combat.
Although he was not afraid of the Maltese fleet, the necessary precautions were still to be taken for the overall safety of the fleet.
Admiral Newk flashed his gaze away from the holographic coordinate map and ordered the mothership command center to assess the Maltese fleet's actions and make a decision on the results.
The Gravity Battleship Carrier Operations Center was immediately up and running at high speed, beginning to make judgments and assessments of the intentions of the Maltese Pentagon Fleet, advising Admiral Newk on his decision-making.
Commander Xiao Bo of the King Kong Vanguard Fleet was still waiting patiently on the line, not showing anxiety and uneasiness. Apparently accustomed to the process before issuing a command.
For the people of Vajra, caution and caution have kept the heavenly olive planet of the Sirius binary galaxy safe to this day, safe and sound in the repeated wars with Centaur.
"Commander Shobo, where is the Maltese fleet now?"
Ten minutes later.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, General Newk turned around and asked Xiao Bodao, the commander of the Vanguard Fleet, who was still waiting online.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief that the Maltese fleet is approaching a distance of 0.4 light-years from our department and will soon enter our defensive airspace."
As soon as Admiral Newke's words fell, Commodore Xiao Bo, commander of the King Kong Pioneer Fleet, looked at the monitoring data of the Maltese fleet monitored by his mothership and said.
"Your troops move forward now, advance another 0.2 light years, and prepare for battle!"
Admiral Newk frowned, and finally made the decision to authorize the engagement, giving the order to Commander Shobo to move forward.
"Yes, General!"
Commodore Xiao Bo, commander of the King Kong Pioneer Fleet, received the order, immediately locked on the spatial coordinates, and ordered the gravitational fleet to accelerate in the direction of the Maltese fleet again.
"The acceleration countdown begins, three, two, one, start the antimatter engine, and enter the acceleration mode at one-tenth of the speed of light."
Soon after.
Originally distributed in a defensive formation in the dark starry sky, the group of 8,000 Vajra gravitational warships like transparent cones and diamonds, the antimatter engines suddenly started one after another with a roar.
The blue mothership, which covered the airspace of 2,000 kilometers in the center of the fleet, accelerated in the direction of the pentagon fleet, disappeared into the dark starry sky in the blink of an eye, and also greeted the oncoming pentagonal fleet in an offensive posture.
The situation suddenly became tense.
Not to be outdone, both the Centauri and Sirius binary galaxies put on a belligerent posture with their respective fleets.
These two star systems, both of which belong to the middle and fourth level civilizations, are finally ready to compete again after less than two hundred years of fighting.
War was on the verge of breaking out, and both fleets approached at high speed at their maximum speed.
Time flies.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
For the average person, two years is not too long, nor is it too short.
But for an interstellar warship that is flying in space, it is not uncommon for decades to sail for decades.
Even though the speed had reached one-tenth of the speed of light, it took two full years for the two fleets to sail 0.4 light-years from the point of departure to the time they met.
One day two years later.
Centauri is located in the fleets of the Galaxy and Sirius, away from each other's own star system. Meet in a dark cosmic space 1.4 light-years away from the Centauri Galaxy, where you can't see the stars of your own galaxy and don't have any stellar light.
It's a debris left behind by a planetary explosion, where meteorites and interstellar dust combine to form a trailing group of comets covering an area of ten astronomical units.
A vast icy area littered with ghostly meteorites and asteroids.
Against the background of a dark starry sky, under the cover of meteorites and dust.
The two camps have 18,000 planetary-class attack warships and nearly 200,000 fighters, each occupying hundreds of thousands of kilometers of airspace, on alert at a distance of 50 million kilometers, waiting for the order of the commander-in-chief of their own fleet.
A space war between the two powers for hegemony and a sphere of influence is about to break out.
Before the battle began, the invisible crest of the warring sides had already begun.
Both the Pentagon Fleet and the Gravitational Fleet have come up with their latest scientific and technological achievements in the past 200 years in an attempt to paralyze the opponent's communications and command through soft killing, so that the opponent will be in a state of confusion.
The frequency of communication between the two fleets has increased dramatically, and soft kills are carried out in the range of about one astronomical unit.
In the process of suppression and counter-suppression, interference and counter-interference, the confrontation between the two sides has won and lost each other.
The research of wormhole technology has made rapid progress, and new laws of time and space have been discovered, which further solves the relationship between the energy consumption of wormholes and time and space, greatly reduces the energy consumption of wormholes, and improves the stability.
The only pity is that the wormhole still can't deliver living things, and it can't make the range larger. It can only transmit objects no larger than one cubic meter, and although the communication and surveillance functions are still the strong points of the Maltese wormhole, they are much more advanced than the space-time cage wormhole monitoring system deployed above the earth before the invasion of the earth.
The miniaturization of wormholes has progressed rapidly, and the smallest low-energy wormhole communication monitor can even be the size of a palm.
Just install a small antimatter memory card on the generator of the wormhole energy field, and the wormhole communicator can be stably maintained without pressure, and it can easily carry out real-time communication hundreds of light years away, which is a powerful tool for ultra-long-distance communication.
Therefore, in the war of interference and anti-jamming of communications between the two sides, the Maltese have repeatedly won, and the communication system has always remained unblocked, showing no signs of chaos.
Of course, the King Kong people also mastered this wormhole real-time communication technology, but they were obviously worse in terms of stability, and the gravitational fleet communication was not stable for a while, and the fleet almost lost contact.
Although the Maltese fleet has always kept its communications open, it has repeatedly received false information from the Kongo people through wormholes, resulting in the issuance of wrong orders to mobilize the convoy that should not have been mobilized, resulting in the void of defense in some areas of the fleet.
After several rounds of soft-kill battles in communications and command systems, the commander of the Maltese fleet, Klon-5, first lost his breath and provoked Brigadier General Xiao Bo, the commander of the gravitational fleet, with a clear code.
"Uneducated King Kong guys, if you surrender now, I can make you die a happy death!"
Among the pentagonal fleet motherships, the Commander Clone Five's Crimson Snake had a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Hmph, Clone Five, if your old puppet abandons the darkness and turns to the light, our King Kong Court can give you a fair trial and guarantee that you will not miss a single war crime you have committed."
Commodore Xiao Bo, the commander of the King Kong Mothership, was not to be outdone, and ridiculed each other.
