Chapter Fifty-Seven: Sold
The jump zone is the same as the last time MR239 was visited, and there were no celestial bodies within 10 million kilometers.
Pan Wen's fleet slowly accelerated to gather after completing the jump, and waited for more than ten minutes, still not receiving any signal from the four curly hairs.
"Check where we are."
"In repositioning, star identification and reconfirmation."
Humans now confirm stars through various ripple ratios, and various ships equipped with advanced sensors can restart their positioning systems at any location without the help of foreign objects, and often check their own positions, which is important for the space world where any error can be calculated in light years, and the process of execution takes just over ten seconds.
"MR239, location 52 degrees, distance 16.2."
When repositioning is recorrected, the angle in the position is based on the ecliptic plane of the local star system, and the Orion spiral arm of human origin is generally counted clockwise from the zero base, and the distance is calculated from the local star with the diameter of 1 unit, which is very convenient.
The position is right, Pan Wen leaned back in his chair and did not move.
After another ten minutes, half an hour passed, and the Scalpel and the Kuroshio were already within the full range of the Hammer's full firepower, and suddenly received an encrypted communication from Doris from the Fat Dun.
"Boss, things can be a little complicated. A ship had just flown past my sensing range, and it had accelerated to over twenty thousand, as if it was going to the Sea of Death. After analyzing the images of this ship, I seem to have a little impression of its port number, and after checking the automatic records, I found that it left the port only a few minutes before us, and the direction of departure was the same as the one you gave me. ”
…… It's trouble.
There are several speed standards for space battleships, starting at a regular speed, which is generally between 2,000 and 4,500 kilometers per second in a clear space environment, and with the support of modern technicians, this speed is hardly affected by normal density of cosmic dust and rays. Then there is the cruising speed, ranging from 4000 to 9000, at which the ship is hit by free particles and begins to rise, and the energy consumption of the shield will also increase. More than 15,000 kilometers per second is a detachment velocity, and it will not be used if you do not plan to jump in hyperspace, because the blow of separation particles at high speed is more intense and dense, and even causes the entire ship to have a significant micro-vibration, which has an impact on the stability and life of the internal equipment.
It takes at least two hours for a boat to accelerate to disengagement speed, and even longer from the zero benchmark after the jump.
But Doris said that it only left the port a few minutes earlier, and even if it was invincible to the particle wind resistance of the Sea of Death, the acceleration after leaving the Sea of Death was so fast that it was not good, and it was at most five or six hours earlier than Panvin's fleet, in fact, it could be three hours earlier and it would be considered a professional messenger ship.
Running to this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store, and only staying for a few hours to prepare the speed needed for the return flight, don't you need fuel money for jumping?
This kind of behavior that seems to have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it is no longer suspicious, it is very suspicious, especially when the curly fleet has no signal.
Assuming that it was deliberately sent by some guys to collaborate with the enemy, it would be easy to explain the sensing range of the Fat Dun that passed millions of kilometers away. Because even if you really want to sell his position, in addition to knowing his acceleration route, you have to figure out his exact acceleration so that you can calculate the approximate area in advance. Therefore, the collaborator ship must accelerate to a certain process before it can go, at most more than an hour earlier, plus the waiting time after the jump of the Panvin fleet, it is just enough for it to issue a wide-area signal and reach its current speed.
"The scalpel and the Kuroshio re-accelerated and headed to the coordinates where the Fat Dun was." After saying a word, he didn't let go of the fleet channel, and pressed the telecommunication button on the left with his other hand, "The Fat Dun is approaching me, don't be too fast, keep the second level silent." ”
The command was sent to each ship, and it was his turn: "This ship continues to simulate the propulsion reaction of a heavy patrol ship and accelerates in place at low thrust." ”
Panvin's target is the player, but each high-level NPC, even if hostile, has a personal behavior that cannot be ignored. It is indispensable to defend against people, and his habit is that when the fleet converges, the ship will also accelerate, so as not to make a big brake after the convergence, and at the same time react faster to decide whether to go or fight when there is a battle at a closer distance. Now that doubts are discovered, there is no need to save a lot of things from static acceleration, at least it will not be accelerated too quickly, but because the propulsion reaction will be greatly increased, people will lock the target in advance.
Of course, to be so leisurely, it is all based on the quantum Yongdao avoidance technology mentioned earlier, and the quantum Yongdao avoidance technology causes the jump to avoid ships other than oneself for a long distance when the jump is completed, so if you want to squat, you must also leave a large area of clear space, and then use the advantage of cruising speed to hit the target that is in a relatively stationary state after jumping.
In his heart, he hoped that Curly would still jump over and continue to cooperate, after all, there was a new type of corvette that he didn't know existed. However, as time went by, the scales seemed to be tipping in a bad direction.
"Boss, I found a suspicious reflection, and the picture is very unclear." The new intelligence analyst, Afanasyevich, suddenly made a discovery.
Using an analyst to play with radar, of course Pan Wen will pay attention to it, not to mention that the current situation is suspicious enough.
"Alpha...... Nasijevic locked onto the area and continued to observe, while the tactical team tried to refine the picture. Halfway through his reading, he also looked down at the command platform, on which there was a seat light in the control room, and whoever was on duty in which position would light up the corresponding light and name, so that the captain could cross the tactical group and assign tasks individually.
Suspicious reflections may be caused by miniature metal-type objects (stones), or by an unknown ship accidentally reflecting excessive stellar light in the direction of the ship from one side of the ship outside of the optical viewing range.
The tactical group quickly got the result: "Sir, it's a battleship, it should be adjusting the course." ”
"How far is it, can it be locked?"
"Judging that the distance is at least a million kilometers away, the radar cannot catch the propulsion reaction and cannot lock on."
After the crew responded, Pan Wen didn't move again, he focused on the holographic panel of the captain's platform, now the position of the Fat Dun is still far away, and it will only take some time to enter the cooperative combat range.
1 million kilometers, the actual course is right and flies at cruising speed for three or five minutes, and the regular speed is only twice the time, if he really rushes to himself, he will not have much time left.
After taking a look at the speed and acceleration of the ship, I began to arrange after a little consideration:
"Notify the whole ship to enter the second level of combat readiness. After adjusting the direction of movement to the position of the Fat Dun, turn off the main thruster to adjust the attitude and let the ship fly upside down. The tactical team checked the star map in this direction and tried to see if they could judge the size and distance from the starlight obscured by an unknown ship. The radar communicators maintained their attention and intensified to capture the propulsion response. ”
First of all, at least confirm the size of the unknown ship or fleet, if it is really against yourself, at least a fleet that can deal with three or four frigates with low damage, if there are still players involved, the situation will be even worse, and it is useless to have a fat pier.
The acceleration of flying backwards is very low, and it can only accelerate to normal speed at most through the auxiliary propulsion ports at various positions of the ship, which takes a lot of time. But this method will be useful for the current Heavy Hammer, now it is not only the number of enemies, in fact, I don't know if the opponent has formed an encirclement, after turning off the main thruster, the shield has no weakness, and the shield energy level will not drop too much due to the tail being attacked.
Using astral obscuration as a reference is a seldom reconnaissance technique, and even a very experienced tactical team can make a big mistake, and it is possible to see two unrelated ships as one large fleet. Pan Wen's request was actually more to arouse the tension of the crew in order to increase their attention, because to ensure that his fleet could be eliminated, it was most likely the official fleet of the Gabrie Federation that approached the ship.
Time passed second by second, and finally, it was not me who couldn't help it first.
“Sir! There was an active induction wave, there were ships using the enemy seeking mode, and we were locked. ”
"The ship that released the Seeking Mode has been marked, the distance is 720,000, and it is heading for our jump origin at a speed of 2200, and the distance to this ship is reduced by 1368 per second."
The ships that launched the enemy seeking mode have a clear line, and there is no signal to curl a few hairs so far, so it is really sold.
This is not the time to consider whether to be sold, and you can only have the next thing after passing the current level.
The opponent can't help but open the enemy mode first, Pan Wen is not surprised at all, if you want to attack a target that has just completed a hyperspace jump, the longer the time drags on, the faster the target's speed will be, and for the attacker, losing the speed advantage means that it is more difficult to synchronize the coordinated shooting, and it is likely that it will not be able to break the shield and drag the combat time to an infinite length, and if there are more patrol ships, it will increase your own battle damage.
"Adjust your stance and face the enemy ship to see if it will turn. Also, inform the fleet of its location and sensing wave signatures to see if your friends can find out. "After explaining the crew, press the fleet communication, and arrange things for the captains," the scalpel was ready to turn to shoot, the Kuroshio increased its thrust and continued to retreat, and the Fat Dun continued to lean over and check the missiles, waiting for the target to be confirmed. ”
Yes, the Fat Dun has missile weapons, although it is not as outrageous as professional missile ships and star destroyers, and has no presence on the huge hull, but there are also several array missile launchers, which can do a certain degree of support strike. The giant crocodile among the pirates was very trustworthy, and none of the remaining 400 conventional missiles on the ship were towed, and now they are just in use.
The opponent only has one ship to open the enemy, and it takes a little time for the fleet to interact, it is impossible to turn immediately after locking, and the main thruster of the Heavy Hammer is not opened, even if it is locked, it is a question of whether it can determine its own ship type in a short time. Now, as soon as the Heavy Hammer gets excited, it may go straight to the fight, losing the opportunity to let the fleet adjust its position.
It took about two minutes for the enemy fleet to finally change.
"The approaching velocity of the source of the call has increased, and the target has been turned."
"The target distance is 560,000."
560,000 kilometers, which is already within the firing range of the Heavy Hammer. At the same time, it also means that the Heavy Hammer is likely to be within range of the enemy fleet frigates, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.
