Chapter 112: Conspiracy
"Yang Yi, why are you so tired?"
When she returned to the maintenance cabin at the bottom of the Spreading Cloud, Han Weiwei had already come down from the bridge and stood in the maintenance cabin waiting for Yang Yi.
Han Weiwei was taken aback when she saw Yang Yi, who was exhausted in the maintenance mecha, and asked distressedly while assisting the tired Yang Yi to take off the extravehicular space suit.
"Don't worry, Weiwei, the physical exertion of the extravehicular operation just now was a bit large, and it will be fine after resting for a while"
Yang Yi took off her bulky blue spacesuit and smiled at Han Weiwei.
"I'm tired like this, and I said it's okay, I knew that I would be tired like this, so I would go out of the cabin with you for maintenance."
Han Weiwei put the spacesuit back on the shelf, and complained worriedly while helping Yang Yi up.
"Don't worry, next time I have a maintenance mission out of the cabin, I will definitely take you."
Yang Yi looked at Han Weiwei with a smile and said softly.
With Han Weiwei's support, the two walked towards the somersault cloud restaurant area, ready to replenish their energy.
An hour later.
After eating, the two reappeared at the bridge command center and began the ship-wide inspection before the somersault re-entered full speed.
"The shield energy supply system has been repaired, and the energy output is normal!"
"The damaged parts of the hull have been repaired, and all parts of the hull are normal!"
"Full phase stealth mode check normal!"
"The weapon system is normal!"
"The ecological maintenance system is normal!"
"The tail antimatter engine is running normally!"
"The spacecraft attitude control system is normal!"
"The bridge command center is normal!"
With the completion of the inspection of the various systems of the Spreading Cloud, Yang Yi and Han Weiwei both breathed a sigh of relief, and their confidence in being able to continue to the Centaur gradually recovered.
Judging from the condition of the somersault cloud after the inspection of the whole ship, as long as the remaining journey is not intercepted by enemy ships, or encounters an unpredictable space disaster, Yang Yi still has great hopes for the somersault cloud to reach the Centauri safely.
However, both Yang Yi and Han Weiwei knew very well in their hearts that since the somersault cloud had been intercepted by enemy ships twice, it was unrealistic to have smooth sailing in the future.
The enemy failed to intercept them twice, and it was impossible to let them go easily.
"Yang Yi, since the whole ship is back to normal, is it starting to move forward at full speed?"
Seeing that the system was checked, Han Weiwei looked at the data channel on the hologram.
Obviously, she also knew that the faster she could move at full speed, the better, and if she sailed at a low speed for a long time, she would soon have enemy ships catch up again.
"That's what I thought too, let's go full speed ahead."
Yang Yi looked at the spaceship to check the data, and tacitly began to enter the acceleration command.
"Full speed mode has been activated, accelerating ......"
After entering the acceleration command, the system began to fly at full speed after the maintenance was completed.
In the black starry sky, the blue flame of the antimatter engine at the tail of the bat-shaped somersault cloud is even more dazzling, like a blue firefly, roaming in the mysterious universe.
Sailing without age.
The three years of flying in the vast sea of stars flew by.
For more than 1,000 days and nights, the somersault traveled at a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second in the direction of the destination centaur.
The ship's systems, defense and attack capabilities are at the best level.
After this period of full speed sailing, the somersault cloud has already flown over the airspace of the Covenant battleship assembly, and continues to fly farther into deep space in the direction of Centauri.
It is strange that in the course of these three years it was not intercepted again by enemy ships.
In the past three years, Yang Yi has contacted the Star Alliance Fleet Headquarters more than once through the space-time cage wormhole monitoring system, but he still has not been able to establish communication.
In this way, the reason why the somersault cloud was intercepted by the battleship has not been able to be ascertained, which makes Yang Yi extremely depressed.
If you can't figure out the identity of the enemy ship that intercepted the somersault cloud, you must always be on guard against being intercepted again, so Yang Yi's heart is not easy.
Since waking up from the particle cloud, Han Weiwei has not gone into hibernation again.
In the past three years, although the spacecraft has basically been on autopilot, the two of them have spent most of their time resting, enjoying the food on the somersault cloud, using entertainment facilities, or dancing, singing, playing games, watching movies, or exercising, and seem to live a rich life similar to that on Earth.
But the two men were on alert at all times, in case they were attacked by the warship again.
They knew very well that the enemy could not stop there and easily let go of the somersault cloud.
While the somersault is sailing at full speed, the situation for the Centauri and the Covenant is changing.
In the solar system, the Beacon Space City is indicated.
The Star Covenant Warship Dispatch and Command Center still seems to be busy, with tens of thousands of dispatch and command posts full.
The huge oval command center has tens of thousands of devices at full capacity. Holographic projections, large and small, show the deployment, duty, and readiness of the Covenant fleet in various cosmic airspace.
In a large holographic projection in the center of the command hall, many staff members are discussing something around the holographic projection of the red dwarf galaxy in the constellation Centauri.
The holographic projection, located a light-year away Covenant fleet deployment coordinates, has been connected to the Centauri galaxy by a red dotted line. Clearly, this is the hotspot area that is getting the most attention right now.
"Chief, the Second Fleet has requested a connection."
Suddenly, a duty officer located in the warship dispatch center stood up and reported to a middle-aged man in his forties in the fleet commander's seat.
"Take it in!"
The middle-aged general looked at the image of the Centaur on the big screen and said to the staff.
After a few seconds, the holographic screen switches to the command center of a battleship, and a young captain in a blue spacesuit appears in the holographic area.
"Expedition Two, how's your fare?"
The middle-aged general put his hands behind his back and asked the fair-skinned young captain in a deep voice.
"Report to Commander Wang, Expedition No. 2 enters the designated position and waits for orders."
The young captain saluted and reported.
"Expedition II, according to the information obtained by the Star Alliance Security Department, the Centauri Negotiation Fleet has entered the interstellar space three light-years away, and is coming at a high speed in the direction of your fleet assembly, and is expected to arrive in your warning area in five years.
You should pay close attention to the movement of the Maltese fleet, escort the Maltese negotiators to the solar system, and contribute to the establishment of normal diplomatic relations between the two systems. ”
The Commander of the Fleet King said solemnly, looking at the fleet flying towards the solar system on the holographic projection.
"Please rest assured, Expedition 2 will complete the mission!"
Expeditionary Fleet 2 waved its officer to give a standard military salute to Commander Wang of the Star Covenant Fleet, and replied dryly.
And the reason why the Covenant suddenly instructed the fleet to escort the Centaur negotiation ship to the solar system. It originated from the information that the Maltese suddenly extended an olive branch of peace to the solar system half a year ago, hoping to establish equal diplomatic relations with the new alliance.
Since this was the first time that the Covenant had received a request from the Maltese for negotiation after the war, the Covenant's top management attached great importance to it.
As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.
Although Centauri was the first galaxy to invade the solar system, and the devastating war nearly wiped out humanity, it stands to reason that the Covenant should be on high alert for this galaxy.
However, after more than 100 years of development after the war, humanity has a certain degree of self-confidence in its own strength, and some people see this as an opportunity for the Star Alliance to project its influence outward.
After a heated debate, the idea of maintaining vigilance while engaging in negotiations and diplomatic mediation to give peace a chance prevailed.
Therefore, the top leadership of the Star Alliance finally accepted the Maltese proposal to hold negotiations, and promised them three unarmed diplomatic envoys under 100,000 tons who could carry a small number of light weapons after inspection to negotiate the front solar system.
However, what the upper echelons of the Star Alliance did not expect, some people within the Star Alliance had already reached some kind of evil deal with the Maltese behind the back of the Star Alliance. Attempting to conspire with the Maltese for their own selfish purposes to achieve their own goal of controlling the Covenant.
At the same time that the new commander of the Star Alliance Fleet, General Wang Gang, established a connection with the commander of the Expeditionary Second Fleet outside the solar system.
In the universe light years away from the solar system, a conspiracy is underway.
And the wormhole connection with the Maltese starship was established by the commander of a warship assembled by the Solar System Star Alliance fleet.
"Your Excellency, we have sent warships to intercept our starships flying to Centauri several times. When will you fulfill your promise to send a fleet into the solar system to assist the General in controlling the entire Covenant? ”
The Covenant warship commander asked, apparently a little anxious.
"Don't worry, since the Centaur Supreme Leadership has promised to send a fleet to support your operations, it will definitely fulfill its promise and send warships to the solar system on time, as long as you ensure that the Star Alliance warships do not enter the Centaur system, the Blue Star Supreme Military Control Committee will not break its word."
In a 100,000-ton pentagonal warship, the commander of the Maltese negotiation fleet, who was heading to the solar system, swore to the commander of the Star Alliance warship that he seemed to be quite sure.
"Your Excellency, we will step up our interception efforts to ensure that the Covenant ships cannot approach the constellation Centaur.
However, there is an unidentified 50,000-ton medium-sized warship that has already flown over the charged particle cloud belt, beyond the allowed flight range of our ships, and has entered your alert airspace, and our side will no longer carry out interception operations. ”
The Covenant Commander was silent for a moment, and then reported to the Centrians.
"Your human combat efficiency is so low that you can't even destroy a small warship. Now that this ship has entered the Centaur alert range, you don't have to worry about it, I don't believe that a small ship of 50,000 tons can fly over the Centaur to deploy a defense network! ”
After listening to the report of the Star Alliance warship, the commander of the Maltese negotiation ship first expressed his dissatisfaction with the failure of the Star Alliance fleet's interception, and then said confidently.
"This is the best, and I hope that Your Excellency the Emissary's negotiations with the New Alliance will be successful, and a new future will be opened for peace between the solar system and the Centaureus."
After the Star Alliance battleship commander finished speaking, he hung up the connection with great satisfaction. In his opinion, their plan to conspire with the Maltese was seamless.
