Chapter 2 The Exploration of the Second Stage 13
After a five-hour voyage, the fleet arrived at the intended location, and the Archangel and Battlestar were each deployed according to the original plan.
At the same time, after the ultra-long-range early warning satellites were also released in all directions, the entire fleet entered a quiet period.
Xingtian and Ares had made the transfer plan an important measure to prevent tracking and safety by remaining silent after arriving at the intended location, and the quiet period was initially set at 12 hours, and the silence period was extended by another 12 hours at the first rendezvous point.
During the quiet period, the most uneasy in their hearts were Xingtian and Ares, who coincidentally observed their respective information screens closely in their own command cabins.
Suddenly, the display screen of Xingtian showed that there was an object approaching at high speed, which was equivalent to a space fighter. Xing Tian immediately sat up straight and decisively ordered the nearby reconnaissance satellites to conduct careful reconnaissance, and asked the whole ship to enter a state of second-level alert.
After observation by reconnaissance satellites, it was found to be a small comet, and Xingtian announced the lifting of Level 2 alert only after he had to confirm it repeatedly2.
This little episode made Xingtian think for a long time, if the disposal of unknown objects that suddenly broke into the defense range and identification seemed to be a trivial matter, but once the number of times was too much, it would inevitably cause the psychological relaxation and slackness of the fleet personnel, and if there was a conspiracy of the enemy, it would definitely cause a heavy blow to the entire fleet.
Thinking of this, Xing Tian immediately called Lisa to his side and said to her, "You go to Dr. Aaron after the quiet period is over, and report to him the detailed rules we have designated to bind the scientific researchers."
It then asked whether there was a capacity to develop an approach object warning and automatic identification system. After saying that, Xing Tian's mind suddenly appeared with Dr. Aaron's stinky face that day, and then said: Forget it, let's go.
Let's talk to the radar observer about how you can increase the false alarm rate with your existing equipment. The 24-hour quiet period ended, and communication between the Archangel and Battlestar was restored.
Xingtian communicated with Ares and inquired about the results of their inquiries about the scientific researchers, and in general, there was no discovery of any hidden alien equipment, and both of them were relieved.
The two exchanged views for three hours on whether the fleet would continue its mission or return to Athena.
In the end, there was no unanimous opinion, so the two put the matter on hold for the time being. Xingtian is going to analyze the pros and cons of the two opinions and ask Grove about it, hoping that he can give advice.
As he was about to end his communications, Ares suddenly asked the question of whether the current fleet would stay here or if it needed to sail.
If you stay here now, whether it will be discovered, and how to set the route to continue sailing, this question made Xingtian and Ares discuss it again for more than 1 hour.
Eventually, Xingtian decided to send Ares to the Archangel, and they reported to Grove together for his advice.
Soon Ares arrives at the Archangel number, and together they find Grove, but this time Dr. Aron does not appear.
The two reported to Grove on the two issues they had considered. During the debriefing, Grove didn't say a word, just listened carefully, and then said: "You two have been doing quite well lately, and I think you are basically up to the role of commander."
But you're not confident enough, and you always feel like I can make decisions for you, and you should call me a qualified commander as soon as possible.
I understand all the problems you are talking about, and it is up to you to make your own decision. After Xingtian and Ares glanced at each other, they made a decisive decision, and at this stage, the fleet stayed here, and the scientific researchers made every effort to solve the problem of close detection and identification of friend and foe.
The stay time is tentatively set at 3 months, and the time is over. When Xingtian finished speaking, he unconsciously looked at Grove again, but he didn't see any of the information he wanted from Grove's eyes.
At the same time, Xingtian and Ares realized that their greatest reliance began to really sit idly by, and this inaction was to allow them to grow up as fast as possible.
