Chapter 139: The Shadow of War
If Braun's data is not wrong, then it is clear that this is an intelligent meteorite.
That is, this meteorite is most likely man-made.
Since it was not made by Fan Bufan's forces, it was obvious that there were other civilizations in this place.
"Braun, can you know where it came from?" Fan Bufan frowned.
Braun pulled up some data and said, "According to our telescope, it should come from the galaxy next door to us." In terms of distance, it should be five light years away. ”
"Where is the patrol now?" Fan Bufan asked.
Braun said, "At the current rate, we can meet in half an hour." ”
"Then let's wait!" Fan Bufan said.
As the minutes passed, the patrol ship finally met the meteorite half an hour later.
"We've seen the meteorite, and we're ready to release the Dragon."
"Dragon-1 received, hangar opened."
Seeing the transport plane slowly approaching, everyone present was very nervous.
"Approaching, preparing to recover the meteorite."
The transport plane opened the hatch, two men in spacesuits fastened their safety ropes, and one of them took a rope gun and fired at the meteorite.
Seeing that the head of the gun had been fixed, the two men began to slowly pull the meteorite.
Once the meteorite had successfully received it in the cabin, the transport plane began to return home.
Half an hour later, Fan Bufan and his party came to the port of the space base.
"Slice the meteorite open!"
Hearing Fan Bufan's words, someone immediately took a cutting machine and began to cut the meteorite.
When the meteorite was cut open, everyone present was shocked.
"Braun, looks like we're in company."
Looking at the electronic components in the meteorite, Fan Bufan understood that there were other civilizations in this universe.
"Your Majesty, what should we do." Braun asked.
"Prepare for war, just in case." Fan Bufan said.
Now he doesn't know whether this civilization is friend or foe, Fan Bufan can only plan for the worst.
"Use Planet 4 as the demarcation line and build an outpost. In the orbit of the nova, build a defensive base. On two satellites, a battleship manufacturing plant was created. Fan Bufan ordered.
The so-called Planet 4 is the planet that resembles Mars.
Because it has not yet been named, it is replaced by numbers except for the planet where the Nova Empire is located, which is Nova.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fan Bufan thought for a while and said, "In addition, we must continue to increase the monitoring of alien civilizations. I need to know how long it will be before they get here. ”
"Okay Your Majesty, we'll build space telescopes on several planets." Braun agreed.
Leaving the space base, Fan Bufan was anxious about all the high-level leaders of the Nova Empire.
"This is the way it is, without knowing whether the other side is friend or foe, we must be ready for war." Fan Bufan said.
A group of people looked at each other, and Jia Xu said, "Your Majesty, we will be ready." ”
"How's the research on new weapons now?" Fan Bufan asked.
Guo Jia said: "At present, the electromagnetic rifle of the infantry has been studied, and the soldiers feel very good after the experiment. ”
"Very well, in that case, let's get the new rifle as soon as possible. There are also robot troops, which are also to be mass-produced. Fan Bufan said.
In this situation, everyone needs to give it their all.
This time, unlike others, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying.
Various departments, the institute began to go all out.
All kinds of resources are continuously transported to the Nova Empire through the Gate of Time and Space.
In order to cope with the battle, Fan Bufan constantly urged Howard to research more powerful power armor.
Not only Howard, but also Zola, Erskine them.
Howard: They all understood the current situation, so they desperately researched it.
"Your Majesty, we have found a fleet. At their pace, it could reach us in about 10 years. Braun said.
Fan Bufan asked, "Can you be sure?" ”
Braun shook his head, "It's just at their current speed, but we're seeing that their speed is constantly increasing. So, this time may be constantly decreasing. ”
"Can you give me a definite time?" Fan Bufan was a little dissatisfied.
"This, we can only keep updating the situation according to the speed of the other party." Braun was also helpless.
Fan Bufan sighed and said, "I know, set the war clock to update the time at any time." ”
Braun nodded, "I see, Your Majesty." ”
Soon after, a clock was erected in the center of each of the four boroughs of the Nova Empire.
Seeing this clock, everyone felt a sense of urgency.
They know that when this clock goes to zero, that's when war breaks out.
The various ship design institutes work together to continuously design new warships.
One after another, four more Raven-class patrol ships were built.
Together with the previous Raven-class patrol ship, these five were experimented with by researchers 24 hours a day.
A large amount of experimental data is passed to the design institute, through which the designers have better ideas.
Even in order to test its combat ability, Fan Bufan directly asked the terminator and the biochemical soldiers to drive these five crow patrol ships to attack each other.
This battle was the first space battle in the galaxy, so it was rare for the military top brass to gather together to watch.
The five patrol ships were divided into two teams, red and blue, one with four and the other with only one.
But as compensation, the BLU side will have reinforcements of 400 Yinglong fighters.
Although the crew of these five ships are Terminators and Biochemical Soldiers, their captains and second officers are all natural persons.
However, they only issue remote commands through the device.
The battle between the two sides was faithfully transmitted to the large screen of the central command center of the space base by several reconnaissance planes modified by several dragon transport planes in the distance.
Seeing the two teams fighting back and forth, Fan Bufan and the others were deeply attracted.
"Which one do you think will win?" Fan Bufan asked suddenly.
"It's hard to say, it looks like the two sides are far apart, and Red seems to be going to win. However, the blue side has a lot of foreign support, so it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”
Griffin, as the commander of the naval fleet, was the most vocal.
"I think the blue side will win, don't you think it's very similar to the way the navy fights now?" Hartman Road.
Piper said strangely, "Oh, how do you say that?" ”
Hartman explains: "The red side represents the pre-Cold War battleships, and the blue side represents the aircraft carriers of the current era. ”
"If you were the captain of the blue side, what would you command?" Li Hu asked.
Hartman thought for a moment and said, "I will let the main ship attract firepower, and then let all the fighters concentrate their firepower to take out one of the opposing ships first and demoralize them." ”
Bronski shook his head: "Although you have killed one of the opposing warships, your fighter is likely to suffer heavy losses. ”
"You forgot that these fighter pilots are natural people. Although there was a slight delay in the remote operation, I am sure that they will be able to complete the task perfectly. Hartman said confidently.
He has this confidence because he trained these drivers.
As Hartman said, the blue side really makes the main ship attract firepower.
Everyone looked at Hartman in surprise when they saw this.
Hartman smiled indifferently and said, "The captain of the blue side is my good friend Buckhorn, of course I know him. ”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Sure enough, as Hartman had judged, 400 Yinglong fighters attacked one of the patrol ships from all directions.
There was no time to defend, and the patrol ship withdrew from the exercise with an explosion.
However, the Blue side only lost 20 Yinglong fighters, and the price of minor damage to the Blue patrol ship.
"Now it looks like the blue side is going to die." Xu Wenjie said.
Lingju suddenly said: "Not necessarily, I think Red will win." ”
"Huh?" Everyone present looked at Lingju suspiciously, not knowing why she said that.
"You've forgotten one thing, and that's that these fighters don't have unlimited ammo. ”
When everyone heard this, they felt that this reason was still very reasonable.
It was at this moment that once again significant changes took place on the battlefield.
