Chapter 14 Crossing the border
The fleet arrives at the K7 system, the front of the Blue Resistance Front, and is preparing for the next jump.
In this investigation, Pan Wen wanted to cross the border of the Blue Country to see if there was any situation in the blocked area, in case of an accident, as long as he could retreat to the resistance front, the fleet of his own resistance front would help block it.
Due to the particularity of the blue country, the preparation for this jump includes going to the resistance front assembly site to collect the latest intelligence, and some miscellaneous items in the middle will take some time.
It took two hours for a person to watch the show in order to speed up the sound and subtitles, and it took him two hours to barely figure out the situation stage of MR243.
Now it is just one small country that has found something as an excuse to impose some economic sanctions on the other, causing a chain reaction of other small countries, but it has not been further intensified at the moment, and as for the voice to fight, it is the conclusion made by various experts based on the historical performance of MR243.
As for whether the experts' conclusions are reliable, Pan Wen believes that they are still credible. However, the credibility does not come from the experts themselves, but from the group of players separated by Segeis and MR241.
The group of players is not only members of the combat department, but also includes some strange classes, and it is likely that they still retain the type of hand-farming, so they don't necessarily have to defeat Segeis to enter and influence the small country of M243. In particular, small countries are neutral countries outside the region, and the safety of civilian passenger ships to and from various countries is quite good, such as Segeis, who has stated that it will never be touched, and only diaspora pirates will be interested in it. The existence of Segeis allows human pirates to have enough protection, while the blueskins rarely leave MR246 to commit crimes, and diaspora pirates are very scarce creatures, at least the frequency of pirates in the MR243 to the Empire and the Federation is almost zero.
The ultimate goal of the player group is to promote the process of the second world to the next era, and the easiest way to advance the process is to let all the forces mess up and carry out a comprehensive reshuffle, otherwise according to the background that the technical level of the second world is only slightly higher than the real scene, it may take more than a few generations of lives to advance the process in peaceful mode, so it is certain that players are happy to see the small country of MR243 gradually turn from a quarrel to a conflict of arms. Even if they don't have influence in MR243 now, as long as the news of the tense situation in MR243 spreads, someone will naturally find a way to influence those influential NPCs.
Compared to the small countries that are now hot-headed, the process of players exerting influence on MR243 will not be completed quickly, so the result is still the same as before, and we can only pray that the small countries had better be conservative and not ruin the situation too quickly.
Back in front of him, Pan Wen's fleet had already been registered with the Resistance Front, so he didn't need to come forward to add the landing of the Third Second Lieutenant and the Fat Dun, and after probably browsing some videos, the bits and pieces had been sorted out, and he only had to access the information that had just been synchronized from the Resistance Front.
This is a statistic, not an operational one, and it has only been a few minutes since I looked at it.
The development of the situation is similar to what Pan Wenlu guessed, since he left the Resistance Front last time, until now, the frequency of battles on the Resistance Front is trending upward, and the speculation of some players in the Blue Country should also be considered corroborated, after all, the Blue Country is a medium-sized country, and the scale of the real battle is completely different.
In addition, there are not many useful things in the statistics, everyone is worried that the same-sex enthusiasts of the blue country will use biological weapons to change their orientation, so the disposal of the captives is directly concentrated in outer space to the rescue capsule and thrown into the corresponding jump circle of the blue country, there are no live prisoners, and the broadcast system opened by the blue country here is also full of spiritual pollution, so naturally there is no information about the inside of the blue country.
If you want to go through the blue country to investigate the situation, it is obviously not a small risk without any preparation, after all, Pan Wen only has a few ships, and it is okay to fight the patrol fleet, if he alarms the main fleet and he doesn't know, then he should die.
Deputy Captain Nadezhda, who made it easier to talk to a woman, contacted several randomly selected captains of the Resistance Front, and tried to use all the useful and useless words, and the results were not satisfactory.
Except for the Blue Country, there seems to be no other fleet that has set foot in the spiritual pollution of the country, and the position of its main fleet is basically functional, some say it is in K6, some say it is in K5, and even K4, which cannot jump directly to K7 and K8 Resistance Front, has also been selected.
If it is a standing alert force, K6 is naturally more suspicious, because K6 can choose to jump to K7 or K8, and needs to guard against attacks from two directions at the same time, of course, more powerful force is required. However, the standing alert force does not represent the main fleet, a medium-sized country, the players in it may also be able to buy frigates, and the size of its main fleet will be several times larger or even more than the combined fleet that has just participated, and the size of the combined fleet should be enough to act as a guard force for K6.
It's no fun to find someone to ask for directions, you can only rely on yourself.
Meng's words, it seems that K5 is the only choice, at least the alert scale should be smaller than K6.
The decision was made, and the fleet set sail immediately, so as not to think too much and regret it, especially since this trip was risky and had no expected returns, no matter how you thought about it, it was a job that should be avoided.
After acceleration and jumping, after a few hours, the fleet passed through space and reached K5.
Less than half an hour after completing the jump, the fleet's speed hit half of the cruising speed, when it received a warning from the blue country:
"Your fleet is already in our territory, please explain your intentions and leave immediately, otherwise we will have to expel them by force."
The source of the signal is a broadcast signal, which may have been sent a few minutes before the detection of the fleet by means of a border reconnaissance mechanism (such as a stationary reconnaissance vehicle), and the huge delay makes it difficult to determine the exact location of the signal source from a long distance, and can only be used for orientation.
However, Pan Wen, as an old fritter, smiled when he heard this warning and calmed down.
What is in front of him is actually a kind of defensive hole, which happens in almost every non-closed country. Although the blue country has no contact with other countries, it is not a matter of its national policy, but people do not want to be polluted, as far as the blue country itself is concerned, it is hoped that all mankind will come to his home and be assimilated, so it is normal for corresponding loopholes to appear.
This defense vulnerability will have in non-war states, that is, there is no blockade patrol of the border jump circle, and in the non-blockade patrol, the patrol fleet wants to shoot the dead before the jumping fleet accelerates is almost zero, and the jump range is too large, even if the cruising speed goes straight to the central axis, it will take about three hours, let alone patrol a spherical area. This way, the fleet that has just completed the jump will have a lot of space and time to accelerate.
For example, Pan Wen's fleet is now encountering a situation where the main fleet of the garrison cannot speak directly, so the broadcast signal will be used. It means that even if the fleet does not respond, and the direction of movement happens to be the direction in which the garrison fleet is stationed, there will still be more than ten minutes of space before it will be locked by the opponent's radar.
Of course, Pan Wen will not be so arrogant, because the next station is still the blue sphere of influence, and if it is ignored, it will cause the other party to open the national combat alert state too early, and it will be difficult to turn back - although the current situation will also be troublesome when returning home.
"My fleet has just been chased by other fleets and jumped in a panic, I'm sorry for accidentally entering the non-neutral zone, so I'll start the jump procedure and leave."
Pan Wen responded in this way, and did what he said, and the fleet turned in a small arc and accelerated synchronously, as if it was about to jump back to the appearance of K7.
It took about 10 minutes for them to receive the same reply from the radio signal: "You have two hours to move at least 10 million kilometers outward, and if you approach again, we will directly initiate an armed expulsion." ”
To move outward is to move away from the stars, the direction is very clear, the average speed of moving 10 million kilometers in two hours is only about 1,040, including turning and re-acceleration is not very urgent, it should be said that the border station of the Blue Country seems to be easier to negotiate than the Republic of Florin.
Pan Wenzi will not really walk away, the fleet completed the steering into the cruising speed threshold at the same time, the fleet stopped accelerating, and the gold started the galaxy scanning function by the way while maintaining a constant speed to shoot the K5.
Pan Wen's purpose is to investigate the matter of bugs, if the blue country and bugs are indeed involved, the area involved may also involve two areas, inside and outside the country, seize any opportunity to do a galaxy scan, it is possible to find the bug nest. The accuracy of the galaxy scanning function is not very high, and it is not possible to complete the full data mapping of all celestial objects, but based on the wave of bugs that surrendered before, the same type of bugs will definitely change the landscape if they settle on any planet, and when the area of the fungus blanket is large enough, it will also be captured by spectral analysis.
This time it was a complete galaxy, and the scan lasted half an hour to get a sufficiently detailed star map. On the way, the border station once again urged with a radio signal, and Pan Wen responded on the grounds that the equipment was faulty and needed to pause the acceleration, and until the scanning was completed, there was no second reminder.
The K5 star map is in hand, and the analysis work is handed over to the second host Doudou to use the redundant computing power to slowly get it, and the fleet is still accelerating in the direction specified by the other party, as if it is really going to start the jump program.
Because their actions comply with the requirements of the other side, and the border station does not send ships to monitor it at the same time due to distance or other reasons such as the duty route, the rest of the matter is easier.
Even if it is a country's border, it is impossible for the monitor to be laid indefinitely, there is always a range, what Pan Wen has to do is to leave this range far away, and then turn around and jump deep into the blue country.
As mentioned earlier, the jumping mechanism of the Galactic Era is a stellar jump, and the effect of the stellar gravity well will naturally push the end of the quantum corridor to a certain distance, thus giving rise to the concept of a jump circle. Under this jumping mechanism, it is not a matter for Panvin's fleet to be one or two hundred million or even billions of kilometers away, as long as it can locate the perigee star and the target star.
Since the K4 position can well support the two border galaxies of K5 and K6, it is likely to have the main fleet, at least part of the main fleet, and the number of garrisons of the fleet will determine the strength of the alert force, and the threat to Pan Wen is not small, even if he can make up such and such excuses, in case the identity of the pirate fleet is confirmed by others, and the commander is hot-headed to do a just cause, he has no good fruit to eat. In addition, because K4 has a high probability of having a main fleet, if there are bugs on the opposite side, it is even less likely that bugs with sufficient space threat can be developed. After thinking about it all the way from leaving the Resistance Front, Pan Wen felt that the risk of K4 was not proportional to the possibility of finding bugs, and decided to give up K4 and stop next at K3.
The distance between K3 and K7 cannot be directly jumped even by existing special/experimental ships, since only crossing the border from K5 and K6 can threaten K3, and the blue country itself has not been hit by K3 for hundreds of years, its border alert should tend to zero, even if it does not reach the level of civilian alert, it is not incomprehensible, if the K3 border outpost can complete the shooting and cross the border without being aware of it, it is even more unlikely to trigger a full alert later.
In case it doesn't go well, there is actually only one risk on the return trip, that is, when jumping back to the two galaxies of the Resistance Front from K5 or K6, jump directly to the outpost, and it is not impossible for the middle of the blue fleet.
But it definitely can't be so smooth, and where there are players, you can only think about it.
