Chapter Seventy-Five: Let's do a little drill first

The bugs didn't keep humans waiting long, or rather, humans didn't have time to keep up with the swarm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Less than 100 hours after infok11 began to set up the reconnaissance defenses, the swarm had already swept through the previous galaxies.

The two systems of K9 and K10 did not complete the task of strategic retreat with the help of other countries, and were drowned by the swarm at home, and only three integrated fleets that had completed the assembly escaped, but after the three fleets eliminated the cargo and personnel transportation, the size of the warship part did not help much in the next resistance.

Thankfully, when K9 and K10 fell and K11 detected the first wave of small-scale swarms, the support fleets of the Empire and the Federation had just been put into place, and the civilian forces did not directly face the swarm.

The Islamic Empire and the Gabri Federation probably moved seriously this time, the Gabri Federation sent the main legion of the Third Fleet, and the Islamic Empire also sent three additional fleets into K11 before the Marsar fleet had time to engage in the early stage, including a border fleet.

In terms of the distribution density of total combat power, K11 should be safe and worry-free, but the Gabrie Federation has already made a reminder that the swarm has a giant physical hidden body, and more speculation is not done, it at least has the ability to directly destroy the overall combat effectiveness of a Federation's regular fleet without being detected. If there is more than one such thing, and the humans are still unable to detect them in K11, which has made certain preparations, then the power of K11 can only be broken up now.

At an important juncture, the Empire and the Federation began to cooperate in arranging an emergency reconnaissance system after K11 finally put aside their usual hostility for the time being and eliminated the first wave of tentative insect swarms.

The so-called emergency investigation system is different from the previously envisaged investigation network.

The network reconnaissance system relies on a variety of orbit-fixed detectors, side watchers, receivers, etc., and since the hyperspace jumping mechanism of the swarm is not yet understood, it requires a very large logistical investment to spread the reconnaissance network to all possible jump areas.

There is no physical difficulty for this investment for the two behemoths of the Federation and the Empire, it is only time that is difficult. Or time is not a problem, just because K11 is not the territory of the two big countries, and now it is jointly managed by the two countries, and both sides are not willing to suffer too much loss in material input, so there are still reservations in terms of battlefield logistics investment. In short, when the K9 and K10 integrated fleets escaped, the laying of the network reconnaissance system was only half of the predetermined area, and the logistics could not keep up with the needs of the situation for the time being, so it was necessary to use an emergency reconnaissance system.

The emergency investigation system is a kind of requisition system, which simply means that escape pods, reconnaissance components/arrays, etc. are requisitioned from civilian ships and private armed forces for emergency response. Although the emergency reconnaissance body such as the escape cabin has a certain search and analysis ability, it is not a real reconnaissance equipment after all, and this method can only be used for emergency response, and then the environment allows it to be replaced.

Phan Van is now a local industrialist, and his supplies have also been requisitioned, and he said that he will be compensated later, but who knows what will happen, he is still a wanted criminal. Because of this status, all the work of contact with outsiders was done by Nadezhda, the deputy captain of the Gold, and the cadets.

It's a pity that even if the emergency plan was activated, it didn't have time in the end, and less than ten hours after the requisition began, a massive swarm suddenly appeared in K11!

Under the large-scale attack of the Imperial and Federation fleets, there are still some who use stealth capabilities to escape the detection and encirclement network and begin to wreak havoc inside K11...... Or it's called a sneak attack.

"Boss, the target is lost again." The S.T.R.I.A. team aboard the Gold is reporting the latest bad news.

With the USS Gold and 11 reconnaissance planes, Panvin's fleet was able to capture swarms of a certain size at very long distances using features such as kinetic orbit change and radiation, but there were many difficulties to face.

Although the swarm from the CT Nebula is not fully invisible, it seems to enter a stealth state for a period of time after sensing the detection signal. The hyperspace reconnaissance of the Golden and No. 11 reconnaissance aircraft is not a physical imaging reconnaissance, and the physical stealth of the swarm is of little significance, but the swarm in the stealth state obviously controls the activity characteristics to a minimum, which makes it extremely difficult to track continuously, and at this moment it is the third time that the target has been lost after the swarm has been found within a radius of three million kilometers.

"Whew...... Press the last confirmation point, and make a cone range warning with an octave diffusion angle, and notify others on the moving channel within 2 million kilometers to avoid. ”

The reliability of the cone-shaped range early warning is worthy of affirmation, and in the case of the linkage between the Golden and the No. 11 reconnaissance aircraft, once the inertial orbit change amplitude of the swarm increases, it will be caught immediately. However, if the swarm can endure only making a slight change of track, as time increases, the cone-shaped space will spread into a fountain-shape, and it will become possible to be hit by the swarm from any angle.

In any case, at least this time, Pan Wen's new neighbor showed the surrounding people what the fleet is capable of, according to the previous information, if no one dies next, the swarm should pass without finding a few farms in the surrounding area.

In order to gain more time to strengthen the resistance of K11 in the shortest possible time, the Empire and the Federation fleet have launched the all-channel strategic frequency band, which will cover all the daily signal reception frequency bands in space, ensuring that ships from various countries can receive signals. All members of the K11 are now able to understand real-time tactical intelligence, which greatly alleviates the problem of insufficient reconnaissance capabilities of the civilian armed forces, and greatly reduces the possibility of accidental encounters by civilian armed forces.

Unexpected encounters with the enemy are naturally the most annoying part of the insect swarm, and the insect swarm will not take the initiative to investigate, and even the military people now generally suspect that the detection range of the insect swarm is similar to that of medium-aperture static physical imaging equipment, which does not exceed 500,000 kilometers, but these insects can reverse capture conventional reconnaissance signals, especially the high-power radar can attract the insect swarm at a distance of more than one million kilometers. Therefore, some civilian armed forces with very ordinary equipment and even some outdated equipment may not know what is going on, and they will be touched by a group of stealth insects to a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, and in that case, they will generally be destroyed if they can't do anything.

Back in Pan Wen's fleet, after informing his neighbors, Pan Wen decided to do the death himself.

"Notify the Marines and activate the magnetic interference tactics."

"Understood."

This is a tactical plan that has been specified in advance after taking over the farm, and everything is done to grasp as many flaws as possible in the swarm as soon as possible.

The main force of this magnetic interference tactic is the farm itself, the shape of this farm is a stick with five circles, very ordinary rotation gravity, now the Marine Corps will dismantle the two sections of the "stick" part, and install a magnetizer near the core reactor, and wait for the evacuation to remotely start the core reactor, this farm magnetic field will simulate the planetary magnetic field, the short period is about 1,000 kilometers equivalent to a large ferroid asteroid with a radius of 1,000 kilometers.

The magnetic field involves a very large range, with the equipment of the Golden Horn, it can detect the slight changes in the center of this huge magnetic field 600,000 kilometers away, since the insect swarm is an organism, the large-scale magnetic field will be easier to capture them than electronic equipment, in short, I hope it will succeed.

Time passed slowly, and the Farm Core Reactor was activated when it was estimated that the swarm should be about to pass through the magnetic field based on the early detected movements.

Long before detecting the whereabouts of the bugs, the Panvin fleet was attacked by itself, and the magnetic field without the isolation layer was very violent, and the feedback from the detection equipment was as if it were in the Sea of Death. But the farm is not a real magnetic storm bomb after all, and after most of the metal parts in the central passage are magnetized, the interference phenomenon has improved significantly.

Perhaps it should be said that it was lucky, only ten minutes after the farm was magnetized, the fleet actually caught the movement of the swarm.

The insect swarm is really approaching the center of the magnetic field at this moment, and it can be judged that this small-scale insect swarm is not directly commanded by the Demon King, and may not even have a high-level insect at all. The reason is that the star of K11 has not been reorganized, and even asteroids do not exist, so the magnetic field of this kind of simulated asteroid must be a trap, even if it is a demon king, he should have a preliminary understanding of the target galaxy.

With this judgment, Pan Wen was ruthless, and pulled the fleet that lacked a few ships to rush up and fight with the swarm, or unilaterally conducted an exercise.

Finding out in advance gave the tech legion with the advantage of range a very advantage, and the swarm that had been stared at for hours was not unexpectedly wiped out, but Pan Wen was not happy. Compared with victory, in the first contact after the start of the war, Pan Wen saw more of the difficulty of the swarm.

This brief contact with the insect swarm did not make an effective counterattack at all, but it did not mean that Panvin's fleet won easily, and the most crucial point was that the insects had eliminated their biological instincts and turned into complete war machines.

As long as it is a living being, it will always react in the face of a crisis, whether it is to flee or resist, and this swarm has never escaped the state of stealth and stealth since the attack. The swarm does not break away from stealth and stealth, most of the reconnaissance equipment is difficult to play a role, and only through the way of magnetic field positioning, the positioning accuracy is somewhat poor, which leads to the entire battle, the attack hit rate of the Panvin fleet has not exceeded 10%, which is a shameful number for a fleet that has destroyed countless enemies, and it can even be said for sure that as long as the size of this swarm is slightly increased by two or three percent, the Panvin fleet will not be able to solve the battle outside their effective range.

If this performance of the swarm is produced under the command of the Demon King, Pan Wen will not feel a headache, the problem is that this is just a small group of bugs that were scattered in the process of breaking into K11, among which there is no such large bug similar to a patrol ship, stealth combat is just a spontaneous reaction, which is more difficult than what I saw in the CT Nebula, if the composition of the troops is more complex and there are some E7 swarms with shields, it will be a little more difficult to fight.

Although the tactic of simulating the asteroid's magnetic field with the help of the farm has worked, it is not universal, and even here, after this battle, the Panvin fleet will have to spend a lot of materials, manpower, and time to degauss, close and repair the farm. In addition, during the battle, it was confirmed that other reconnaissance methods had little to no response to the swarm from 200,000 kilometers away, including physical imaging. Assuming that the warning distance can be increased by 50% or more in the face of a large swarm, there is still not enough time for a stationary fleet to reach the speed required for mobile warfare, which means that in the future, in the face of this group of swarms from CT154, the relatively stationary and lightly cruising fleets will have no option to escape!

If these problems are not a problem under the joint governance of the Empire and the Federation, there are still a bunch of them in K30! K30 was occupied much later than CT154, but K30 is a mature human development site, and the difficulty of obtaining resources is not comparable to that of CT Nebula.
