Chapter 238: What We Are Fighting Is War!

"What if that warship is gone?"

"That's the best, we'll just fly to Earth, and if it's convenient, we'll just sneak back to the base then."

"If it's still there, are we going to keep waiting?"

"If it's still there, we'll fly straight to Earth......"

Lu An was speechless and said, "Is there any difference?" ”

Su Ruyu nodded and replied, "Of course there is, one may not die, the other may not live, do you say there is a difference?" ”

"Uh, okay."

Lu An shrugged, lowered his head and chewed carefully while squeezing the aluminum film bag.

Two hours later, Su Ruyu and Lu An, who were staring at the screen, frowned in unison, and the two looked at each other, smacked their lips, and sighed.

Sure enough, the worst was expected.

Although I don't know why at the moment when the two of them were closest to death before, the warship suddenly gave up the pursuit, and it was clear that it could kill the patrol boat with one shot, but it was kind.

Originally, Su Ruyu and Lu An also wondered if there was a sudden malfunction of this warship, or a sudden outbreak of civil strife, which led to its failure at the most critical moment.

If something breaks down, then basically Su Ruyu and Lu An can leave with a swagger, anyway, this warship is no longer able to pursue them. And if civil strife breaks out, it will be even more wonderful, Su Ruyu and Lu An can even sit and watch the play, and then pat their butts and leave after watching the play.

In fact, the outbreak of civil strife is not uncommon on ships after the galaxy, because of long-term drifting in the dry space, people's mental state will sometimes erupt inexplicably, and there was even a matter of opening the air-tight compartment of the spaceship with bare hands, and the fate of that person is naturally needless to say, but this "madman" has involved more than 50 passengers in a spaceship to bury him.

In the army, due to strict hierarchy and strict discipline, such things are actually more frequent, but due to the particularity of the army, many times things that are not too serious are covered up and will not be known to the outside world.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Su Ruyu and Lu An have such speculations.

However, when the area on asteroid 273 where Su Ruyu and Lu An were located rotated to the shaded side away from the sun, completely facing the path from which they came, the warship still stopped quietly, but instead of standing still, it kept cruising and maneuvering, sailing at low speed around an area of thousands of kilometers.

Lu An is very familiar with such a standard military cruising maneuver, and the people on the warship obviously don't intend to let go of themselves and Su Ruyu, but they didn't dare to step forward, so they made such a move.

The provocation and contempt implicit in this are obvious.

In the only interstellar war in the past of mankind, this action was a standard pre-war reconnaissance maneuver, gathering intelligence on the one hand, and teasing the enemy on the other hand, inducing the enemy to go in pursuit.

Lu An looked at the maneuvering movements of the warship on the screen, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"They're still ......"

"yes." Lu An walked to the porthole of the cockpit, determined the direction and looked over, and sure enough, the warship 40,000 kilometers away reflected the sun's rays and was clearly visible on the dark sky.

"However, it's okay, they seem to have made up their minds to stay where they are, and if we turn to the sunny side facing the sun, we can fly directly to the earth, and in this case, we may be able to get rid of these bastards......"

Lu An sighed: "Is this really possible? ”

"Or else?"

"Indeed, not really."

Su Ruyu waved her hand and said, "No matter, when we turn around, we will set off......"

The rotation period of this asteroid 273 is 23.9 hours, which is similar to the 24 hours of the earth, but because it is not the shape of a standard sphere and the location of Su Ruyu and Lu An's patrol boats, the "day time" of the planet on the sunny side is about 16 hours, and the "night time" on the yin side is more than 8 hours.

In other words, in about ten hours, Lu An and Su Ruyu will be able to sneak out of this asteroid, but how long this "sneaking" can last is a matter of fate.

Therefore, after waiting for ten hours, when Su Ruyu was about to start the engine of the spaceship, she was stopped by Lu An.

"Why?"

"If I'm to be believed, we'll have to wait two more days before we go."

Su Ruyu frowned and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Lu An pointed out the window and asked, "If we set off immediately, how long will it take to accelerate to cruising speed." ”

Su Ruyu silently calculated and replied, "About an hour and a half." ”

"Then after we set off, how long do we estimate it will be discovered by the warship behind?"

"Half an hour, well, about half an hour."

Lu An spread his hands and said: "That is, it won't take half an hour, even if it is calculated according to half an hour, then with the speed and distance between us, have you calculated, how long will it take for us to be caught up?" ”

After speaking, Lu An didn't wait for Su Ruyu to answer, so he calculated by himself: "Even if they are 40,000 kilometers away from us, if we run away with our backs to them, with the speed difference between 300,000 kilometers and 400,000 kilometers per hour, even if we set off for an hour first, it will only be another three or four hours, a distance of one million kilometers, and we may not be able to escape near the orbit of Mars." ”

"We used to have a speed of only 300,000 kilometers per hour because of the damage to the hull, but if we were now, we would have at least 35 or even 380,000 kilometers per hour......

Lu An stared at Su Ruyu and asked, "Can you reach the vicinity of Mars' orbit?" ”

Su Ruyu's face was tense when she was stared at by Lu An, turned her head and deliberately didn't look at Lu An, and then asked rhetorically: "Why did you want to reach near the orbit of Mars?" ”

"Well, have you heard about the escape from prison of the anti-smuggling team in August last year?"

"I've heard a little about it, what's wrong?"

Lu An nodded slightly and said: "That anti-smuggling team seems to have gone too far, so they were jointly ordered by Mars and Earth to not allow them to cross the innermost layer of the asteroid belt, even if they indulge and go too far, it will not be good to cross the orbit of Mars." With the importance that Martians attach to their nests, the orbit of Mars is densely covered with all kinds of surveillance, a whole circle, although the original intention of this may be to prevent the ...... of the Earth"

"Do you mean they don't dare to cross the orbit of Mars for the time being?"

"Yes."

Su Ruyu bowed her head slightly and asked, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

Lu An said: "We need to wait for a chance, if I wasn't sure before, then just now you said that our speed can reach 380,000 kilometers per hour, close to their speed, then now there is a lot of hope." ”

Su Ruyu saw Lu An's words in high spirits, turned her head to look at him and asked, "What chance?" ”

"Throw away their chances for a day."

"Are you sure?" Su Ruyu's eyes widened.

Lu An deliberately winked at her and said, "We're fighting to the death with them now, and it's not a fair spaceship racing competition, even if it's a war, it's not an exaggeration, we don't have to simply gamble on luck!" ”

"War?"

"Yes, war!" Lu An took a deep breath and said: "War is never a simple calculation that one plus one is greater than two, and it is also possible that one plus one is less than one. If we only talk about spaceships, we have to raise the white flag and wait for death, but the people on the other side obviously have scruples and dare not rush over, if we don't make full use of this, it will be too much of a loss! ”

Su Ruyu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu An attached to her ear and whispered his plan, and after listening to it, Su Ruyu nodded again.

"Well, I'll just listen to you, it's just two more days."

In fact, Lu An was not very sure that Su Ruyu would agree to his plan.

After all, the actual pilot of this spaceship is Su Ruyu, and according to the laws prevailing in the human world, she is now the actual captain of this spaceship, and all decisions naturally lie with her.

Moreover, Lu An's plan is not a simple route change, or an adjustment of the flight plan, but involves the fate of the two people in the future.

Lu An couldn't decide the life and death of him and Su Ruyu alone, but Su Ruyu could, but she still listened to Lu An's opinion, which made Lu Anzhong breathe a long sigh of relief.

Although in this situation, no matter what decision the two of them make, there is a certain element of gambling luck, after all, the patrol boat is basically powerless, and the warship behind is relatively armed to the teeth, and it is really a situation of "people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat".

Su Ruyu was unwilling to give up her efforts to survive, and wanted to fight for the cover of asteroid 273 and try to rush to the earth, Lu An also had the same thoughts, but if his plan was successful, it seemed that he had a better chance of escaping. However, there is also the possibility of failure, after all, why the warship behind it suddenly stopped is still unknown, and it is not absolutely safe to stay on this asteroid every minute and every second in the future.

The warship had neither a breakdown nor any problems, just cruising quietly outside, keeping an eye on the movements of the two men. Su Ruyu and Lu An didn't know, they didn't know why it added up and killed the patrol boat with one shot, and they didn't know when it would give up waiting, so they really rushed up.

Every minute and every second that followed, there was a possibility of such a sudden change, and the two of them were not absolutely sure that this asteroid was the "forbidden zone" of the warship.

There are pros and cons to leaving now or waiting for the opportunity.

Maybe Su Ruyu wasn't unclear before, if she left immediately, it was very likely that she would be caught up by that warship halfway, after all, this asteroid, which is only more than 20 kilometers in size, provides a very limited line of sight, basically the patrol boat will fly slowly for half an hour and will be completely exposed to the warship's sight.

However, if you wait, won't you wait for death slowly?

Fortunately, Lu An, who thinks he is quite professional, provides another option.

"Professional?"

"Yes, I'm a trainee officer at the Third Military Academy, although you may not believe it, but I'm a top student on weekdays, and I have never fallen behind in the scholarship in the school!"

Lu An patted his chest like this, boasting about his glorious history and ensuring his credibility.

Su Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Believe, how can you not believe it, you are such a person who is short of money......"

"Hehe, have you seen through it?" Lu An pretended to be embarrassed and smiled.

"By the way, what are you majoring in? Look at how energetic you are. ”

"Space Information Gathering and Confrontation System ......"

Su Ruyu suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, no wonder!" ……”

"yes, we're still very professional in these things."

"Shhhh No wonder it's so insidious and cunning! ”
