Before the new orbital supply station can be put into use, Chu Jungui must deal with the Federation's fleet near Planet 4. No matter how confident the subject was, he didn't think that he could defeat a fleet of at least three heavy cruisers with the Dinner Knife in his hand.

However, Chu Jungui's strategic goal was to drive away rather than annihilate him, specifically to expel the Federation fleet to a high orbit. With this strategic objective, there are many more means available.

After fully discussing with Li Ruobai and the girl, and consulting Kaitian's opinions, as well as gathering the wisdom of the major components, Chu Jungui had an idea. In the coming period, operations against the Federation fleet will be characterized by high-frequency, low-intensity, repeated and repetitive attacks, and will not evade attacks that have no results, mainly to cause psychological discomfort to the enemy, and thus produce physical discomfort, so that the enemy will take the initiative to withdraw from the strike area.

This tactic sounds complicated, but to sum it up in the words of the girl, it is to do everything possible to disgust people.

In order to thoroughly implement this tactic, Chu Jungui had to make further changes to the table knife. Speed and maneuverability are naturally top priorities, with a particular focus on wide area of steering. Therefore, Chu Jungui installed all the few remaining attitude engines on hand on the dining knife.

In terms of the number of engines alone, the small Dinner Knife has surpassed the frigate and approached the destroyer. This gives it terrifying maneuverability, which has reached the level of a first-class fighter. It is precisely because of their super-mobility that Li Ruobai and Li Xinyi, who have only obtained the Son of Heaven Body, can board the Dining Knife and fight together. Fortunately, there is an open sky, and the Dining Knife is equivalent to having a spaceship master beyond the Cambrian. Coupled with the girl and Li Ruobai, the computing power is no longer a shortcoming.

In addition to mobility, protection is also a top priority. Chu Jungui piled armor plates on the table knife number layer by layer, and in the blink of an eye, the table knife number changed from a cigar type to an egg shape.

Strong protection isn't just about security. According to the political component's analysis of historical events, the kind of opponent who can't be killed and can't be driven away, and who still messes around in front of you every day is the most disgusting type. Therefore, Chu Jungui also changed his strategy a little accordingly, the super thick protective layer could allow him to shake two more times in front of the enemy, anyway, the survival-grade composite materials were cheap.

Finally, firepower.

The Dinner Knife was equipped with a destroyer and a frigate main gun, as well as 8 secondary guns of various kinds. After all, the destroyer's main gun was dismantled from the Lin Xi ship, and it belonged to the latest model of the Tang Dynasty, with a power of up to 500, which was more than 20% higher than the ordinary destroyer main gun. Against an ordinary destroyer, it can be destroyed with less than 10 guns. In comparison, the main guns of the frigates snatched from the Federation were only 110 powerful.

There won't be more artillery for the time being, but Chu Jungui still has a little good goods in his hands, the most important of which are three heavy space torpedoes.

These three torpedoes were all dismantled from Xu Zhanfeng's destroyer, and their quality is guaranteed. They are all big guys weighing more than a dozen tons, and the warhead alone accounts for half of the total ammunition. These three heavy torpedoes were extremely powerful, and a single shot could seriously damage a destroyer, and it could also inflict considerable damage on light cruisers.

It's just that space torpedoes are slow, inflexible, and have a limited range, and are generally used to attack large targets that are slow to act, as well as to space bases. However, Chu Jungui has his own way to solve it.

A few days later, the Dinner Knife was renovated, and three heavy space torpedoes were buried in the bloated belly. The power of the new table knife has increased greatly, and it is a little inappropriate to call it a table knife, so Li Ruobai changed it to a serrated table knife.

When the sawtooth dinner knife sailed away from the hiding point and began to search for the whereabouts of the Federation fleet, even Li Ruobai was full of confidence. Confidence doesn't come from starships, it comes from ground bases. Before going to war, Chu Jungui frantically ordered 50 power furnaces a day for three consecutive days. In three days, the energy supply of the two bases will increase by 50 million kilowatts!

That's a huge amount of energy to support the launch of a truly big project. Li Ruobai was already a little impatient to know what Chu Jungui was planning to do.

The Serrated Dinner Knife found the Federation Fleet without incident. The Federation fleet was dominated this time by two light cruisers and two destroyers, supplemented by six frigates. Such a fleet belongs to a fairly powerful hunting and destroying fleet, and even if it encounters several main sub-fleets of the Ninth Fleet, they can fight and retreat.

The Federation fleet is still in the middle orbit, only 20 kilometers higher than the previous one. This can buy a few more seconds of warning time for the Federation fleet to encircle and annihilate Chu Jungui. Just a few seconds would mean a few more seconds of fire-gathering time for a normal Federation fleet equipped with beam cannons. With this amount of time, with the firepower of this fleet, the Dinner Knife can completely evaporate.

Inside the bridge of one of the light cruisers, Sino sits in front of a huge virtual porthole, sipping black tea while admiring the magnificent and dangerous storm clouds outside the porthole.

The female officer walked in and said, "I have just received the latest battle report, I have conducted a preliminary screening, and there are currently 311 valuable battle reports, please take a look." ”

Sino casually opened his personal terminal, his eyes narrowed slightly, and countless data flashed faintly in his pupils. It took ten minutes for him to open his eyes.

The female officer asked, "You read each report for more than 2 seconds this time, which is 33% slower than your normal speed." Did you run into a problem?"

"It doesn't seem to be as good as expected," Sino said. None of my cute competitors have been taking advantage lately, and one of the hapless guys got a destroyer eaten. The Ninth Fleet was much more tenacious than expected. Lu Qiyun doesn't seem to be a fool either, at least we haven't been able to find the location of his two mobile bases until now. ”

The female officer said: "The battle is fierce, and this is the time to compete for merit." Are we just going to stay here and do nothing?"

"Nothing?" said Sino, smiling, "in terms of losses alone, we wounded a light cruiser, which was only slightly better than the guy who lost a destroyer." I won't just pass this revenge. I'm also curious about what kind of technology can be used to accurately locate storm clouds. ”

"But ......"

"It's decided, in the fleet battle in outer space, let my lovely opponents fight first, and when there is something they can't clean up, we won't be too late to strike. ”

"As you wish, my lord. The female officer stepped back.

Sino looked at the storm clouds and thought quietly. He likes this way of thinking, which always gives him a clearer view of the essence of things.

The impact of storm clouds on outer space is more than 1,000 kilometers, and most of the starship's equipment can only operate normally in high orbit at a distance of 1,000 kilometers. Therefore, the vicinity of storm clouds has become a natural hiding ground, and Sino knows that his opponent must have a hiding place somewhere, but if he wants to find it by means of carpet search, he must prepare at least a thousand starships.

However, Sino is not in a hurry, since he can't find it, he will wait for the opponent to come by himself. As long as his fleet doesn't go, sooner or later, that guy will always jump out.
