The armies of the two target countries did not fight, and the situation took a turn for the worse, and the message conveyed by the communication ship indicated that the people above had dumped the pot, and the follow-up matters were handed over to the acting commander at his sole discretion. Since it is full power, the acting commander naturally has the right to choose to retreat.

But there is a good saying: the arrow has to be fired. The acting commander seems to be able to advance or retreat, but in fact, the only choice is to bite the bullet.

The fleet is divided into three families, and if you retreat with your own team, you naturally don't have to be a person when you return to Saigeis, and it is best to move your family. In addition, all the members of his command are first-level members of the Alliance, and many of them are waiting for this operation to be promoted, and this withdrawal has offended many people, and the road ahead is not easy.

Sure enough, within a few minutes of receiving the news from the communication ship, the acting commander said through the fleet channel that the battle continued, and that he owed everyone a favor.

Some people liked it and some people didn't, but as a result, the fleet continued to move, completing two consecutive jumps in a few hours to reach the target starfield.

The combined fleet completed the jump, and before the fleet's movement speed increased to the normal level, the reconnaissance ship Qian Yu in each fleet took on the alert mission, and the bad news was quickly returned.

A reconnaissance ship intercepted and decrypted a small piece of mechanical information, which showed that the fleet had been captured by the observation network, and the target official would take countermeasures at any time.

The territory of small and medium-sized countries is only one to three galaxies, and most of them will arrange some observers or radar nets near the border jump zone, and the density is a little lower than that of the Florin Republic. In this case, as soon as the Grand Fleet arrived, it was discovered that the larger and more concentrated the fleet, the more artificial signs of creation would be shown in various indicators, especially the radiation characterization in the acceleration process would be very obvious.

If according to the earlier script, the two countries are fighting happily at this time, even if they can allocate military strength, it is a fleet the size of Peeding to support, but now that the two sides are not fighting, it is possible that one side will make a compromise to transfer the fleet back, and it may even be possible that the two sides will temporarily stop negotiations due to the appearance of other combined fleets of Segeis at other points without paying any price, and the latter does not need to make compromises will shorten the reaction time of the main fleet. The alliance will unite the fleet to reach the target facility for more than four hours, and since the target is a scientific and technological achievement, it will take a lot of time to temporarily occupy, decipher, or strip equipment after arrival, so it is really difficult to say what will happen next.

Acting Commander Steve did not wait while approaching the target, but requisitioned nearly half of the reconnaissance ships in the fleet with good mechanical power or stealth capabilities to move in the direction of the star fields of the two fronts to conduct a large-scale forward reconnaissance.

According to the previous information from the communication ships, the two sides still have two percent of the fleets retained, and this part is used for patrolling and guarding the territory according to the conventions of the Empire and the Federation, so some of the reconnaissance ships that have been requisitioned will definitely be wiped out. Of course, because the reconnaissance equipment of the reconnaissance ship has a significant advantage over the corvette even after giving up the weapon system, plus the reconnaissance array and other out-of-the-box extension equipment, it is unrealistic to destroy even half of it in this time, in short, this batch of reconnaissance ships is taking the risk to obtain first-hand reinforcement information, and the combined fleet has a lot of money, and it does not care about the additional loss of up to one reconnaissance ship per capita.

In the matter of reconnaissance ships, Pan Wen took a small advantage, because the reconnaissance ships of the Golden are all customized unmanned types, and it can't be too far away from the main fleet to do fully automatic reconnaissance, so it doesn't need to be sent out to take risks.

However, if you take advantage of it, you will have to suffer, because there is no expenditure of risky reconnaissance troops, and Pan Wen's fleet is immediately placed in the position of the capital ship group with a high number of votes!

The combined fleet is carrying out the task of fixing the celestial bodies, and at the end of the maneuver process, there will be a change of formation, and the formations to deal with the celestial bodies are all three-dimensional concave or concave X-shaped, etc., and the risk of the capital ship group in sharing the damage of the fleet is not much greater, but it needs to bear the task of landing force delivery. Pan Wen's fleet has an overrun mecha group, this kind of miniaturized patrol ship-level weapon and a battleship with an interception system may be reluctant to confront Pan Wen head-on, but they are not too powerful to destroy the internal defense system due to their size, in order to end the matter quickly and reduce the risk of being hit by the official main fleet, Pan Wen did not object at all when voting, but the other two guys who were arranged in the position of the capital ship group rolled their eyes and were obviously unhappy.

Their unhappiness Pan Wen understands very well, from the point of view of value, the value of a reconnaissance ship is not at the same level as a Marine Corps, the Marine Corps is the highest risk profession in the fleet, the signing fee and annual salary are more than half higher than that of normal technicians, not to mention, to put the Marine Corps in the space environment, everyone's power armor and weapons are indispensable, if you want to reduce casualties, it is inevitable to drop mechas, these are all money, and the Marine Corps is not just throwing one or twenty people up, the goal is to confuse the star research base, and one or two hundred people can not even see the shadow when they enter, it can only be how many Marines throw into it.

There are a few more things on the way to these messy little things, not to mention personal gains and losses, judging from the strategy of the entire Combined Fleet, Acting Commander Steve has done a good job.

A group of high-ranking members of the Alliance were worried about approaching the target all the way, and only encountered a local reconnaissance fleet on the way, in the face of the huge combined fleet, the reconnaissance fleet naturally detected from a distance and ran away directly, judging from the distance, they didn't even have time to determine the camp to which the combined fleet belonged!

Although the name of Segeis has not yet been revealed, the possibility of being hit by the official main fleet seems to continue to increase in the following time.

Compared with others, Pan Wen's emotions are much more stable, mainly because he thinks about problems from a different angle. Geographically, Segeis is the stage enemy of the Empire and the Federation, and he will not cripple himself in a year, because according to the rules of the second world, in addition to the fixed-point monsters that players use to brush experience, they can be quickly built in factories, and intelligent NPCs cannot obtain "equipment" out of thin air, and in the era of the Great Galactic Era, it is a battleship. That is to say, once this operation is completely destroyed, the overall strength of Segeis will be immediately weakened by 20%, if according to the wartime contribution, the proportion of this batch of high-end molecules will be much larger, once there is no Segeis, it is difficult to say whether there is self-preservation, and the MR243 in the future of Segeis is a neutral country, and the player will immediately break through the ship restriction blockade, and the size of the fleet blowout only needs money, and sweeping in all directions is almost instantaneous!

Of course, it is precisely because of the existence of "personality" and "intelligence" that it is not impossible to kill yourself, but the NPC infighting does not involve the resource allocation function of the second world, and it will be meaningless if Segeis is gone, and the regulator will be unhappy, so the possibility is very small.

In short, some people may be nervous and worried about space operations, but they can also see that they are on board, the fleet is sailing very steadily, there is no atmosphere, and three hours later, the target facility appeared in the fleet radar.

The Kemal Research Center, the second largest research base in the Principality of Carter, floats in the zero-gravity zone between the orbits of two gaseous stars, with a very low rotation rate, which can only assist in maintaining the orbit of the revolution, and belongs to the zero-gravity test site. Among them, the zero-gravity test site is the reason for being targeted by Segeis, even if it is not made public, everyone knows that the main research project of the zero-gravity test site must serve the space environment.

The process of approaching the battle was very short, lasting less than half an hour, which was equivalent to a normal approach. Because it was a fixed target defended only by gunboats and a very small number of patrol ships, the battle was basically a brainless fire, and the combined fleet recorded the loss of a total of 16 patrol ships and 2 frigates, and a dozen or so battleships suffered injuries of varying severity.

The Confusing Laboratory, which is about half the size of Segeis, has a certain defensive capability, but unfortunately because it is a domestic facility, it is not its forte to fight against large fleets. In addition to the obvious target railguns and powerful interception arrays, the main means of counterattack are nearly 1,000 gunboats and more than a dozen patrol ships, which can completely deal with normal pirates and wanderers, but now it is facing nearly one-third of the elite fleet of Segeis.

After the Combined Fleet cleared out all the weapons systems facing the direction of the fleet outside the interception range, the capital ship group began the landing operation with a little Marines donated by each family.

There are a lot of automatic weapons to face in the landing operation, and many areas are inaccessible to mechs, so you can only rely on people in power armor and some small automatic weapons, such as Pan Wen's fleet, which throws all the automatic guard robots managed by the second host into it.

Including three ensign-class ships loaded with the second main engine, the four ships in Pan Wen's fleet provided a total of 120 AX1 and 2 vigilance robots, accounting for 70% of the number of ships on board. AX1 is only equipped with non-lethal electric shock and magnetized weapons, but robots are not afraid of death, and these weapons can also use slightly damaged gaps to destroy energy supply lines in a large area, while AX2 is responsible for the suppression and destruction of vehicle-level firepower provided by mecha in inaccessible locations, which is far more efficient than manual work.

In addition to the two kinds of alert robots, the Worker on the Gold, that is, the four-armed operation robot, has also been thrown down a lot, with the help of these four-handed things, the second host Doudou can intercept the intelligence at the first time, and at the same time, it can also avoid the mistakes caused by the tension caused by relying on manpower to obtain electronic information in a dangerous environment. Anyway, in Pan Wen's opinion, the value of the marines is much higher than that of several robots, and they can't get back if they die, and the fighters are where they should go.

The Marines entered the research center through the breach, and the capital ship group outside was not idle after dropping personnel.

The first priority is to provide command system support to the Marine Corps, including overall mapping as the personnel progresses, marking safety/hazard/priority routes, and so on. In the joint operation, the main ship group with the entire fleet of marines, evenly distributed among the four ship owners, there are nearly 300 people in need of intelligence support, even if Pan Wen has a high AI Doudou to help make a primary judgment, this work is not something that one or two tactical squads can complete. The big ship is not like a professional landing ship, it is not designed to support large-scale landing operations, and there is no corresponding direct command facility, but he has already arranged to summon all the members of the slave cadets who are not trained in the Heavy Hammer to the multi-functional tactical center, and an average person only needs to take care of the information of ten people. By the way, the multifunctional tactical center is usually a tactical training room, and unlike the individual combat training of the simulation training cabin, the tactical training room only provides a learning environment for tactical simulation, and can also be used as a panoramic simulation area, and only when needed is external information access from the bridge control room.

In addition to providing command support, the capital ship group also needs to provide debris such as heavy fire breakdown, cleaning of surrounding external facilities, etc.

Considering that it may be counterattacked by the official main fleet at any time in the future, the other fleets outside the capital ship group have begun to continue to clean up the rear fire points around the research center when the landing force is launched. Is it possible for the site to initiate a self-destruct procedure?

Yes, of course, but the possibility is very small, the highest physical value in a research center is the infrastructure that does research, the data only represents the future value, and the infrastructure is exactly what this group of guys out there is not interested in and has no time to take away, and the Marine Corps will not deliberately destroy it. The Marines' actions will soon make it clear to those who are still alive inside that the purpose of the operation is to obtain data, and whether it is time to consider future repairs before self-destructing? An artificial celestial body with a size half the size of Segeis and a slightly smaller diameter is also a high-value test base, and it is not comparable to one or two mobile star-bases when it is completely rebuilt, and the resources required for reconstruction are definitely not a small burden on a small country in the short term.

There is another reason, that is, the ships are still thousands of kilometers away from the big ships, the transportation of personnel relies on small boats and small guns, and the research center itself is not a bomb, even if its self-destructive energy can still spread hundreds of kilometers in a vacuum environment after disintegration, and the electromagnetic effect causes the temporary failure of the shield of the capital ship group, it cannot be wiped out, at most it kills the personnel, and then compares the value of the personnel and the entire facility, it should always be cautious.
