Chapter 23: Dangerous MR241
After learning that there were three fleets ahead through the galaxy scanning analysis of Sister 11, the Golden did a group of targeted scans, and the results showed that two of the three fleets were in a relatively stationary orbit determination state, with a speed of less than 20 kilometers per second, and the remaining fleet was not fast.
After thinking about it, Pan Vin decided to adjust the fleet's sailing route, in order to avoid traps or distress factors being attacked by three fleets at the same time, the route produced a large arc, half of the route was in the fog area outside the ecliptic plane, and after leaving the fog area, there would be a few minutes to include one of the stationary fleets in the strike range. As for how to react later, we have to observe the movements of the three fleets first.
In fact, the distance between the three fleets is not short, the distance between the two farther fleets is 1.8 million kilometers, and the closest one is more than a million kilometers.
Through the mining situation in the circle, it can be judged that the outside of the jump circle has basically been fully controlled by the player, and it happens that the player is a creature that does not care much about the cost of combat, so it is likely to lay a reconnaissance net after controlling the situation. The reconnaissance network consists of unpowered monitoring equipment such as reconnaissance arrays, which are more difficult to detect than reconnaissance systems formed by fighter planes.
The only thing Pan Wen can rely on is the foggy area, and after calculating the construction needs of the reconnaissance network and the average detection capability of various reconnaissance arrays, the main reconnaissance area is still hundreds of thousands of kilometers above and below the ecliptic surface. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers can cover almost all of the rock/asteroid orbits on the ecliptic plane, but this distance is not enough to see compared to the foggy area outside.
With the help of the hyperspace information integrated system, the fleet will not deviate in direction in the fog zone, and even if the three fleets make any abnormal movement or kill head-on, they can also use the relatively fast speed in the fog zone to turn around and leave.
However, something went wrong with the three fleets, and when the distance between Pan Wen's fleet and the target engagement point was reduced to 1.6 million kilometers, the three fleets began to accelerate in different directions.
"BOSS, it looks like they've laid a scout net." Nadezhda still calls Pan Wen the boss in her normal work.
Pan Wen nodded, noncommittal, got up and left the captain's console, passed by Nadezhda's seat, and patted her on the shoulder.
This is a code, after doing the action, Nadezhda will arrange all kinds of chores on the ship as soon as possible and report to the captain's room......
Pan Wen is a more restrained person, and using a code does not mean that he will definitely enter some kind of shady link in the future, such as this time.
"Avoiding the reconnaissance network means that my income will be drastically reduced, and I want you to send this matter as a subject to all command cadets and captains to see everyone's opinions."
The project that the existence of the reconnaissance network had the greatest impact on the fleet of Panvin was mining. Not to mention that when mining in the main area of influence of the gravity shaft, it is not difficult to ensure that you can obtain more than 100 star coins worth of minerals within 24 hours. Although it seems that it is only a few thousand star coins a month, there are many aspects involved. The metal reaction displayed by the hunting bait is controlled by the fleet itself, and the fleet that will be interested in the bait must be in the range that the Panvin fleet can cope with in terms of scale, under the reconnaissance network, in order to avoid being hit by the large fleet, in addition to not being able to mine, even the opponent needs to be carefully selected, and even the time to recover the wreckage and get out of the surveillance area must be calculated in advance, so that in terms of time efficiency, it is almost certainly worse than waiting for the rabbit, counting the compound income loss of minerals, it is basically the same as in the Blue Resistance Front K7.
Unlike the Blue Resistance Front, MR241 players obviously have more veterans, and their tactical use or joint combat skills are stronger than those of the same sex in the Blue Country, and the higher the difficulty to get the same profits, so MR241 really can't be called a hunting area anymore.
A few hours later, Pan Wen received the corresponding plans submitted by the cadets and the captains, and there were many answers, but they were all the same. Some advocate avoiding the current period when the Imperial mercenaries are rampant, and wait for the future to restore stability; Others advocated abandoning the MR241 hunt to resist the direction of the front. In general, everyone artificially left MR241 to go to the Blue Resistance Front, and the danger/benefit ratio was more in line with the interests of the fleet.
Pan Wen studied the various answers for several hours, and finally decided to adopt Pan Yue'er's proposal, which was to avoid the area controlled by the Imperial mercenaries as much as possible in MR241, in order to obtain more time-benefit ratio.
The reason why Pan Yueer's proposal was adopted by Pan Wen was also carefully considered.
The unpowered basic reconnaissance array is indeed very cheap, but it still costs money to buy, and Imperial players may be able to lay millions of kilometers around the Saigeis Jump Circle, but to continue to lay outward, in addition to the cost of laying geometrically rising, there will also be a series of problems such as resistance from other forces and maintenance support, once the cost reaches a certain level, even players will not be willing. One of the reasons for the greater impact is that NPCs regard the second world as a real world, and will actively avoid it when they feel that the danger is too great, and as long as the capital chain is not broken, they can not come out to hunt for months and years, but the additional cost will lead to the overall shrinkage of the income, which is not a cost-effective business no matter how you look at it. Moreover, the balance of MR241 joint development of all mankind has been completely destroyed, not to mention diplomacy, the economic aspect will inevitably lead to a large-scale depreciation of star coins in the empire, which will induce a large-scale smuggling movement, causing a series of troubles.
To sum up, even if the reconnaissance net outside the corresponding jump circle of Segeis does exist now, it cannot be extended indefinitely, and MR241 still has a safe hunting area after all, the difference is that it can't be used to hunt while free and still be able to come out and disgust the player.
However, despite this reasoning, considering the player's unstable style of acting, Pan Wen still maintained enough caution in his real actions, such as the fleet hiding in the fog zone, and only sending a Cam X-VI to cooperate with the mining machine to mine and act as a decoy at the same time, using the wide-area reconnaissance capabilities brought by the hyperspace information integration system to occupy a favorable strike angle in advance.
The act of stealing food from the tiger's mouth lasted for ten days, avoiding several overly threatening fleets At the same time, a wave of mercenary fleets composed of three corvettes and nearly thirty patrol ships fell into the trap, and the obvious increase in the density of large-scale fleet patrols after this wave of fleets was the reason why Pan Wen decided to end the MR241 hunting operation early, and the player's dominance in MR241 seemed to be a little unprovoked, if it wasn't for the fog area, I was afraid that I would have to go through some things if I wanted to get out.
……
After completing the detachment from MR241, the fleet came to MR243 to wait for its new ship to be produced, and there was only one week left before the scheduled construction date, which seemed to be not enough to run around.
"BOSS, the stats you want are out." Nadezhda took a black card and handed it to Pan Wen, then sat down on his armrest and glued it to Pan Wen.
As the time spent working together increased, Pan Wen also got used to Nadezhda's behavior pattern, and the female captain, who is usually very calm, would switch to the little girl film mode as soon as she entered the area where there was no combat threat, becoming more and more clingy.
The statistic requested by Pan Wen is a comprehensive count of MR241's galaxy scans.
Pan Wen's fleet went to MR241 to get some money while the new ship was under construction, and on the other hand, it was also to understand the current situation of the players, coupled with the actual dominance of the players in MR241, the galaxy scans have been used very frequently in the past ten days, and some full-scale scans have been done in the intervals.
According to the statistics of all the scans, there are no less than seven fleets of more than 300 ships stationed in MR241, and the results of fleets of up and down 200 ships fluctuate between ten and fifteen, let alone less than 100 ships.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a golden number." Panvin muttered to himself, took Nadezhda's hand that was touching his face, and touched the back of his finger with his lips.
With this size and density of the fleet, without the wide-area search capabilities provided by the Hyperspace Information Integrated System, MR241 would only be able to stay for three days at most, after which the danger would increase rapidly over time. And in three days, after deducting the fuel consumption of the fleet to enter and exit the MR241, the profit can be imagined, no wonder the pirates are not even happy to go to the jump circle, and the rest are small boats that are not afraid of death.
Seeing that Pan Wen had finished reading the statistics, Nadezhda slipped down from his deputy and rode directly onto Pan Wen's lap and faced him.
Changing positions, Nadezhda helped Pan Wen press his temples a few times, but the words in his mouth were extremely serious: "The mercenary's actions are too abnormal, is there something wrong?" ”
After all, Nadezhda is an elite-level NPC, and her breadth and leap of thinking are a little lacking, and as a commander, her questions sound a bit superficial. But after all, she was the only one of the opposite sex who maintained a long-term physical relationship with Pan Wen in the Galactic Era, and he still put his arm around her waist and gave an answer.
"I can't tell which is more likely if the Empire and the Federation fight, or if the mobile star base is destroyed, but one of them should happen in a few months."
As their dominance in MR241 increases, one of the major challenges for mercenaries is that high-level bosses will gradually avoid going there, and non-bosses may follow suit and go into a resting state. Then the amount of experience gained by mercenaries in MR241 will naturally decrease and approach zero, and after a certain amount of capital reserves through mining, their thirst for experience points will increase their need for combat. On the other hand, the remaining two high-quality mines digging non-jump ring belts in MR241 will also destroy the value system of their own star coins, either they will start fighting themselves before the official punishment comes down, or they will be forced to start fighting in order to recover their losses after the official punishment, anyway, it won't last long.
Pan Wen couldn't explain the player's need for experience points to Nadezhda in detail, but Nadezhda didn't seem to have the heart to listen to him, and at this moment, Panwen's shirt was fully open.
Before entering the state of hand-to-hand combat, Pan Wen still maintained his due rationality and asked more: "Is the nearby fleet confirmed to be safe?" ”
"Mm-hmm, I've spoken to them, and they're all local alert fleets."
The small countries of MR243 are in the stage of throwing dirty water on each other at this time, and they all hope that others will take action first, so that they can deal with the war from the perspective of "victims". In this way, although the domestic losses will be magnified, foreign aid will be available at a low humanitarian cost and without sanctions, and it will be easier to survive the first wave of attacks.
Corresponding to the diplomatic posture of the, there are more and more vigilant fleets on the border of the main area of action of the gravity well, so as to prevent foreign fleets from cooperating with the local army to carry out lightning operations, and Pan Wen's fleet is one of the key monitoring objects - large pirates. If he hadn't had a pick-up number, his fleet size wouldn't allow it to be stationed at MR243 right now, not temporarily.
