"BOSS, anomalous radiation has been detected, do you want to come to the control room?"

Nadezhda's voice rang out in the captain's room, and Pan Wen, who was lying on the bed, opened and closed his eyes again, and it took a few seconds before he turned over and got up.

"I'll be there."

The Golden and Ensign 1 are getting closer and closer to the target area, and the rotation between the two captains is in name only, and any slight situation will interrupt the rest, but fortunately, everyone is a genetically strengthened person who lives in space all year round, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that they can be in the best state in the event of an accident.

The captain's room was only a few steps away from the Cambridge control room, and it took only a hundred seconds, including getting dressed and passing through the guard robots.

"What's the situation?"

"The radiation state on the surface of an asteroid was anomalous, and it should be an operating pit." Nadezhda made the matter clear in two sentences, and asked Pan Wenlai to ask him to make up his mind whether to take further action.

The minerals on the surface of natural celestial bodies have experienced countless years, and the amount of radiation basically tends to zero, and if they do not reach a certain standard, they will be ignored by radar communicators. When the pit is being dug, the radiation will change slightly as the structure of the pit changes, and the magnitude of the change can be captured. This radiation-based inference is useful in most galaxies, with the exception of MR241, which is a stable isotope and the effect of burrowing is difficult to discern in a stardust environment.

If you can mine here, it must be the fleet of the blue country that has not to run.

"Send two Alay's over and have a look." Pan Wen didn't bother to think about it, and directly used the fighter plane to reconnoitre.

The fighters quickly brought back the result: no one.

The surface of the anomalous asteroid does have a mining pit in progress, but the machinery inside is fully automatic, and no signs of ships have been found.

"It's really rich." Pan Wen leaned back in his chair and sighed.

The shape of the mining rigs of various regions and manufacturers may be strange, but their core has not changed much in the past few decades, and the surface layer of the drill bit is produced based on the atomic arrangement and bond energy injection technology, and the thin layer is no less valuable than the same weight of pure star crystals, so there is no mining machine less than 200 star coins.

In MR241, the chaotic situation and the high value of the star crystal ore itself, it is not surprising that two or three hundred star coins or even more expensive mining machines are abandoned, but the asteroid in front of you is just a very ordinary radioactive mineral, and a mining machine may not be able to dig out minerals equivalent to its own value for ten days and half a month, not with money to burn, and there seems to be no other explanation.

"Do you want to recycle the miners and minerals?" Nadezhda reminded.

"Huh?!" Hearing Nadezhda's prompt, Pan Wen realized the problem, "No, call back the fighter and continue to move towards the target area." ”

If it was MR241, Pan Wen would definitely agree with Nadezhda without hesitation, but the propaganda videos of the Blue Country and the information provided by the resistance group in the last dozens of hours told Pan Wen that there is a high risk of direct contact with any items and personnel in this country, and the mining machine may have been deliberately left behind!

Far from being a real possibility, it is likely to come true.

The position of the asteroid is already two million kilometers away from the edge of the target jump circle, and according to the orbital speed of the asteroid belt, if the mining machine is installed in the jump circle, it has worked for more than a thousand hours. Most of the energy of space mining machines is electric energy, and the volume of mining machines is limited by the endurance, and they generally work continuously for no more than seventy-two hours, considering the emotions of the operators, this working time should not be extended indefinitely.

An automatic mining machine that can work for 1,000 hours is very unlikely to be equipped with a fuel cell, it should be a nuclear battery, so that it can work continuously for several years, even if the asteroid runs directly opposite the mining machine and cannot stop, it is likely to be discovered by the people of the opposite resistance. Since Blue Star likes to engage in spiritual pollution, the cost of a few hundred star coins is an opportunity to win the other party's greed, and it seems quite feasible to use mining machines as a media to do pollution.

Pan Wen likes money, but he can't risk changing his aesthetics to be greedy, as for destroying the mining machine to eliminate the trouble, it can't be done, the current area may encounter cruising blue ships at any time, and any high-energy reaction before engaging must be avoided.

……

K8 galaxy, K6 direction jump circle edge, a certain fleet.

"It's so idle, wife, I want to go to K7 to fight." A man complains to the other party in the video.

However, on the other side of the video, the person who is called his wife is also a man, and he also has a beard.

"I'll go with you when the baby's boat is upgraded, ah!"

"Well, there's still a lot of money missing, I heard that the guys in the Isis Empire and the Gabri Federation have the highest level of 50." The person who complains finds a reason and hopes that the other party can open up and go to leveling up earlier.

"Now the ship is more important than the grade, they squeezed us out at the beginning, and now they can only drive patrol ships."

The man here was about to say something, but the call between the two was interrupted by the shrill sound of sirens.

"There is a situation!" The man seemed happy to fight, and hung up the call, grabbed his clothes, and rushed to the control room.

In addition to these two ships, there are two ships belonging to the other two, a total of four, all corvettes.

Unlike players in the Empire and the Federation, Blue Star players have fewer restrictions on ship purchases, and corvettes have long been considered standard, and if there are enough results, it is not difficult to purchase larger ships through positive channels.

It seems that the blue players seem to have privileges in hand compared to the two big groups of players, but in fact, at the level of standard players, the three parties are still equal. Don't look at K7 and K8 have a blockade line, it seems to be a leveling field, but the national strength of the blue country cannot be compared with the two super countries, and the resistance organization naturally cannot form a super-national level NPC fleet to provide experience, equipment, resources, etc., plus the resistance organization is to limit the scope of spiritual pollution as the goal of defensive resistance, the combat frequency and MR241 are completely different things, and when it is evenly distributed to individuals, it is even less profitable. This is also the reason why a few people have been mixed up for more than half a year, and there are only a few corvettes that have been upgraded.

What the four frigates discovered was the Gold and Ensign No. 1 led by someone. Although it chose to approach the jump circle from the side along the asteroid's orbit, it is a pity that in the empty space environment, the size of the Golden is still slightly larger, and it was discovered before it could get close to the combat distance in the electron silence.

"That'...... Direct fire? "When the captains arrived at the control room and confirmed that they were not nationals based on the ship's livery reflections, one of them asked the other three for their opinions.

"Then hit ...... Hit, right? I don't know if the person who replied didn't fight, or if he was already stammering, and the tone of the response was a bit strange.

A unanimous opinion was reached, and the four ships actually released the main guns directly at the extreme range of the main guns close to 700,000 kilometers and opened fire!

……

When the radar communicator reported the metallic reaction caused by the release of the suspected main gun, Pan Wen was stunned for a few seconds, never expecting that the fleet commanders of the blue country were stupid!

The maximum firing range of the particle-type full-size main gun can exceed 700,000 kilometers, and some even have lethality at a distance of 900,000 kilometers.

At such a long distance, the deviation of the target width and height is only tens of meters, and the heavy cruiser is only more than 200 meters, and the deviation of 1 second angle (1/3600 degree) can be deflected by more than three kilometers, and the completely static hit rate is more than one-third lower than that of 500,000 kilometers. Even if the trajectory is correct, the ballistic velocity of the particle weapon is lower than the speed of light, and even the most ballistic positive electron cannon can generate nearly one second of inductive feedback time at a distance of 700,000 kilometers.

Pan Wen was not frightened by the enemy's stupid behavior for too long, and was a little stunned and immediately looked at the reconnaissance data on the main panel, showing that no more than six main guns were being released, which meant that the enemy's strongest was four heavy frigates.

"Drop 100 missiles for a straight line strike. The fleet accelerates to the target, paying attention to evasion. ”

Pan Wen had never fired from a distance of 600,000 kilometers until now, and his rich experience in "doing business" made him understand that when the shield was not broken, the hit rate of the first strike would be higher than the average in the later period, and he was not willing to waste it casually in a distant place. As long as a little missile, using the subtle effects produced by interception, it is enough to ensure that Ensign No. 1 can smoothly coordinate with the Golden to get close to the right distance, and will not be hit by all the main guns at the same time.

The next situation confirmed Pan Wen's judgment of the enemy commander, and the four enemy ships chose the Golden which was easier to target in the first round of attacks, but unfortunately the Golden did not move, and only two shots grazed the shield, and even did not complete a full blow.

Ships in areas without nebulae move very fast, even if they were in electronic silence before, the movement speed of the Golden and Ensign 1 is more than 2,000 kilometers per second, and this movement speed is close to the appropriate attack distance, but only more than 200 seconds. The missile that accelerated in a straight line had only just entered the enemy's interception distance, and the main gun had already been released for final aiming.

In order to take advantage of the fact that the interceptor missiles had to abandon a large evasive maneuver, the Golden and Ensign 1 did not rush to open fire and waited for the enemy fleet to fight another round.

Then, the members of the Gold's regular control room were stupid.

Before the cannon was fired, one of the frigates in the target fleet flashed and turned into a fireball!

Ya was hit by a missile!

To be honest, Pan Wen has been mixed up for so long, and it is the first time that he has witnessed a frigate being directly hit by a missile! Even the scalpel earlier, with a few small broken gunboats, faced the hundreds of electromagnetic missiles released by the star-destroying ship Barcelona at that time, and it was not directly hit. And now, it was 100 missiles evenly divided among four targets that made a direct hit, and the destroyed battleship was simply insulting to the name of a frigate!

He suddenly felt that maybe the enemy commander was not stupid, but had never fought an encounter at all! The NPCs are all kinds of strange, and the players are even more strange, and it is not surprising that there are a few strange ones.
