Chapter 63: Accidents and Problems
The extreme strategy that Pan Wen came up with was a bit weird, and it should be said that only a fleet like him, which was full of elites and rare level NPCs, could be implemented.
This method is to train temporary workers, and the specific steps are as follows.
The Harbour was selected to carry two sailing crews capable of piloting frigates, and the Harbour itself broke away from the fleet with the captured ships, and Second Lieutenant III escorted to the designated place near the ice barrier, and carried two instructor groups and fifty alternate members composed of sixty other crew members. The instructor team will board each captured ship at a designated location for on-site intensive teaching, and a new sailing team will be formed in the form of a mixture of new and old cadets and alternate members of the Harbor.
The biggest advantage of on-site teaching is that you don't have to learn a lot of messy materials, the instructor points to a certain button to explain the function, and the students just remember it, which is very efficient. Naturally, there are shortcomings, and the sailing group taught in this way cannot drive other types of ships or even different models, but it is enough for emergency response.
There is also a potential danger for the extremely configured small sailing group, as the crew may be motivated by the desire for profit and abscond with the ship in another direction of jump when the fleet is disengaged. In this emergency teaching, due to the manpower relationship, it is inevitable to use many new students who have not yet graduated, and they do not know enough about the outside world after the MR246 was bought, which may also lead to being fooled, which further increases the feasibility of absconding with a boat.
Pan Wen never thinks that loyalty is a data that is consistent all the time, just to see if there are enough interests to attract, a frigate is equivalent to a hundred years of salary for an elite crew member in a non-bridge position, if it is a heavy ship, even if fifteen to twenty people are evenly divided, it is still a lot, if there are several people who plan the operation and kill other people who are fooled, the income is really objective.
Compared with the per capita income of several years or even decades, Pan Wen is more worried that in addition to pure template NPCs in the elite, there are also earthling NPC characters, which are generated by multiple characters who have not been able to meet the standards and have been demoted in their lifetimes, and their underlying consciousness that has not been completely blocked is likely to make them get rid of the concept of loyalty and do something bold.
Therefore, an insurance strategy is still needed. However, the selection is very difficult, the best candidates are the elite rank captains with an annual salary of more than two hundred star coins, and the rare rank members of various important positions, but these people can't spare much in the fleet, if you want to do more with less, each captured ship needs at least three people, which is likely to affect the command, coordination and combat ability of the main fleet itself.
In the end, Pan Wen chose to give Doudou, the second host of the Golden Number, open permission, and let her command several technicians to carry out temporary intelligent modifications to some remote control guard robots. The indicator is very simple, as long as it can judge whether the route is consistent with the gold number when entering the disengagement speed, and if the error exceeds a certain level, the specified "task" will be executed. In addition, in order to prevent the crew with bad intentions from locking up or breaking the guard robots, it is necessary to have the ability to judge the safety of themselves, but everyone has curiosity, so lethal means cannot be used at this time.
Security matters are not something that needs to be solved now, the teaching of the teaching, the gold hangar is busy with the refit somewhere, and the fleet is still quickly engaged in the next wave of reconnaissance.
However, during the period of time away from the asteroid belt and then back, the situation of K29 has changed significantly, I don't know what it is, a battle broke out next to the capital star of the original Barrow Empire, from the results of the scan, the intensity of the battle is average, the high-energy reaction is large and small, at most about the same amount as twenty full-size main guns, but the duration has been more than three hours.
Modern ships are limited by the technological environment of the Galactic Age, and the difficulty of defense is always higher than that of attacking, even if it is a golden ship, it will face disintegration if it is leaned against the face by hundreds of broken gunships. As a result, long battles are rare, either with dismal hits on both sides and a lot of time for the shield system to recharge, or in exhibition matches, like the mercenaries in the Sea of Death.
It's still the same sentence, the hit rate is so low that you have to enter a protracted battle, you must choose to close the distance or retreat, and if you don't choose either, there must be a cat, so this situation must be some kind of strange trap. As a trap here, I think it should be that some of the three parties involved in the invasion of the Barrow Empire can't sit still and want to end the confrontation as soon as possible and start taking over the galaxy.
There is no benefit for Pan Wen to be involved in a national-level war, even the hyperspace information integrated system and the No. 11 reconnaissance plane that he lives on cannot give him an information advantage, so this trap position only keeps an eye on it, and the personnel of the Gold are still fully engaged in the selection of the next target.
I don't know if it was the first two groups of transport ships that surrendered and escaped that passed the news out, and most of the characteristics of the large number of ships that should have been on the asteroid belt have disappeared.
In terms of the fighting qualities of these local guys, Pan Wen would never believe that they could continue for hours without scanning the slightest trace of the fleet's concealment, after all, even if they could maintain electronic silence in the asteroid belt, they would need the main thrust to avoid celestial bodies, and there were few opportunities to use inertial maneuvering. Since a large number of fleets have withdrawn for some unknown reason, the remaining fleets must be relatively strong among the local merchant groups, and if you don't pick carefully, you may run into guys who can't be settled.
It turns out that Pan Wen's understanding of human nature is still okay, and he patiently observed for more than sixteen hours far from the ecliptic plane, and finally in the few hours after the trap next to the capital star of the original Barrow Empire evolved into a real battlefield, the metal reaction and radiation in the asteroid belt increased significantly, and these fleets that came for money had no way to camouflage, and just wanted to dig up more gold before the battle on the main battlefield was over.
Pan Wen's fleet also identified a new target in the past few hours, a fleet whose radiation scale had been below the average for a long time, and after approaching a certain level, the Golden and the No. 11 reconnaissance plane cooperated to conduct a small-scale high-frequency scan, and pounced without hesitation.
Positionally, it is easier for the target fleet to borrow many celestial bodies from the asteroid belt for cover, so the distance to start the war cannot be too far. After all, the fleet with a hyperspace information integrated system is somewhat different from ordinary private armaments, and the function of galaxy scanning is more reliable than radar in some tasks, such as analyzing the trajectory of celestial bodies in a certain area of the asteroid belt, as long as the host calculates it, there will be basically no misses, with this premise, you can first borrow other positions in the asteroid belt, and then plan an inertial maneuver route to approach the target, and at most only a very small amount of auxiliary thrusters are needed to correct the trajectory in the middle.
The battle process is no longer counted, this time there is no command ship, but the efficiency of surrender is not as high as the front, I don't know if several of the captains are slow to react or really want to make some resistance, in short, the result is that Pan Wen's fleet only captured two frigates in this operation, and two more were blown up outside the flagship.
One of the two frigates is a heavy ship, which brings the number of captured heavy frigates up to three, but unfortunately, probably because the locals do not have high risk expectations, these three heavy frigates are quite antique, all of them only have a full-size gun, and the price is not high.
After completing this battle, after assessing the follow-up risks, Pan Wen gave up the hunt in distress, and the fleet went to the vicinity of the ice barrier and the harbor to meet up. The average speed at which a complete frigate can be captured in a day is unthinkable in the MR star cluster, and giving up is not something that can be put down casually, and the factors that prompted Pan Wen to make the decision came from two aspects.
One: the fuel is really not enough for more frigates to go back, the fleet itself has to be consumed in combat, and it is also needed when the galaxy is scanned for large-scale use, and the total amount of fuel left by the fleet in K29 has been declining, and the fuel reserves cleaned up from the two newly captured ships and the disintegrated loot are only enough for three jumps, even if one ship does not increase, the fleet still needs a small amount of replenishment in MR243 to return to MR251.
Second, the tactical environment has deteriorated. With the outbreak of the battle on the main battlefield around the capital star of the original Barrow Empire that was observed before, it is obvious that the three parties will accelerate the completion of the K29 battle, and there is very little time to be able to fish in troubled waters, if another ten or twenty hours are selected, the fleet that will continue to stay at that time will definitely be much stronger than the one that has just been defeated, which will lead to a very difficult completion of the captive action. For example, if after the flagship is killed, there are still more than six frigates left in the opposing fleet, even if they surrender directly without considering their own strength, Pan Wen will not dare to cease fire immediately, because if the six frigates are fully equipped with neutron weapons, a zero-error salvo, can destroy the first and second class Cam X of Major Heavy Hammer at one time, if they do not accept surrender at the first time, the guy who fought against the water will never surrender again.
The fleet has completed its convergence, and since the new strategy has only just begun, it has given up continuing the hunt for various reasons, and the fleet's senior pilots and marines with medium ship operation capabilities can still squeeze out a little. The ships got together, together with the instructor team and those who had better results in the three-day temporary teaching, formed six navigation groups, and continued to wait near the ice barrier for a day to allow the navigation group to adapt or intensify their studies before recalling the observation ship and leaving K29.
The K30 insect swarm, which was originally the most concerned, had no result because of Pan Wen's brain show, but it made a windfall.
As a test ship for the MCosX thruster, the observation ship has also collected some data, and its stability, thrust, and cost-effectiveness ratio are stronger than those of traditional plasma thrusters.
What Pan Wen cares about is that after the thrust of this thing is expanded, there will be a very significant magnetic effect outside the ship, and when an observation ship returns to the main fleet, the distance is still 1.2 million kilometers away and it is captured by passive radar! The strange thing is that the passive radar took this thing as a giant comet for the first time! Of course, this misunderstanding was quickly dispelled, and it only took a small amount of calculations to know how far a comet of the same magnitude should be observed, and since the physical imaging system could not show it, it had to be something else.
The plasma thruster has a particle wave radiation effect, but due to the stealth design, it is more difficult for the frontal observation point to be found in passive mode at a distance of 1 million kilometers when sailing in a straight line, and the side observation point can extend the detection distance to about 1.2 million. It is normal for MCosX to exhibit magnetic effects, but the scale is a bit larger than expected, and the situation can be improved by reducing the thrust, but then there is no thrust advantage, like Pan Wen, who is used to lurking and approaching fleets, electronic silence is only one of them, there is not enough thrust, and in some cases it will give the target more time to warn.
When the problem is discovered, it is necessary to test it further, and when the energy bar and pilot are slightly insufficient, Pan Wen still leaves the K29 in the fleet, and releases the observation ship to make a hyperspace jump with the fleet when a small country borrows the way. If you don't jump, you don't know if you jump or be scared, the jump of the Pan Wen fleet has always calculated the time and location of the jump moment when each ship starts jumping in advance, so as to achieve the landing point as consistent as possible, but the detection ship equipped with MCosX still jumps out at once and is more than two million kilometers away from the flagship!
The subsequent comprehensive inspection of the observation ship showed that about three thousandths of the parts and components had a trace of magnetization, which is quite dangerous in a space battleship, and the magnetization phenomenon is strong to a certain extent, and the parts must be replaced, and some equipment cannot be used at all if it is magnetized, such as some key parts of the radar.
Anyway, MCosX has to figure it out again, and it can only be used for civilian use for a while, and at most it will be used for defensive troops, such as the garrison of D21, and one day these problems will be optimized and then put them on the menu.
The fleet arrived at MR243, disposed of the main guns, armor and other bits and pieces of trophie, and replenished the fuel of a thousand stars, and finally sent eight captive frigates to D21.
