The mercenary fleet brought out by the Gold is smaller than last time, and the outcome is not guaranteed for the time being.

The last time I went back to harass at the edge of the right-wing swarm domination area, it was to test the demon king, and this time I went to find the wandering fleet to clean up, and the mercenaries planned to make money, so it involved the issue of profit distribution. Since the size of the fleet in the intelligence is only two or three hundred warships, the value of the wreckage after the battle is so much, and the more points you go, the less you will get.

Fortunately, Pan Wen used special communication skills to hint that the player's representative wandering fleet might be related to the Demon King, otherwise there would only be three or four hundred warships.

Although there are only 500 warships of various types around the Golden at this time, at least some special warships have been included in the list, such as the full-time medical ship that I don't know where to get it.

The space combat environment determines that medical ships are of little use in space operations, and each ship has an infirmary that can meet the basic medical needs of the crew, and more than ninety percent of the medical ships that have been preserved now are civilian ships, mainly used to deal with large-scale emergency epidemics. Military hospital ships emphasize stealth and protection, but they still carry some machines for the production of drugs and surgical tools.

Bringing this thing is mainly because there is more comprehensive professional testing equipment on the medical ship, which can detect many vital indicators in a non-contact state, whether it is useful or not, at least one more line of defense, it is always good to be prepared.

The scale of the roving fleet is quite large, and the environment of the crime area is not too complicated, so it is not enough to find a needle in a haystack.

The fleet led by the Gold left K11 for about twelve hours, received a message about the target's movement in the K25 area, left the team, and turned back to witness a crime in K24 with a galaxy scan.

Then came the moment of intrigue.

The time span of the Wandering Fleet is almost a week, and it has not suffered major losses so far, and it can basically depict the way of committing the crime.

The large-scale fleet itself leaves more information during the maneuver, and it is difficult to completely hide, and more high-energy information will flow out when committing crimes. After all, although some of the crime areas belong to the evacuation area, there are still fleets doing security work.

In this way, you can determine the destination by observing the direction of the jump, and use the player's ultra-high-speed information transmission "channel" to prepare in advance in the target area. Even if scattered players have poorly positioned ships, they can throw several Scout Arrays near the target area and along possible routes to increase the control surface. At the same time, the team will also release several high-speed reconnaissance ships to perform synchronous jumps, even if they can't find the target directly, at least they must cooperate with the scattered ships found outside to confirm the target's track.

It turned out that Pan Wen made the right choice to find the player as a collaborator in this operation.

The target jumped towards K23 without any stop after jumping to K26, avoiding the information network of the temporary cooperation ship, but was still caught by the high-speed reconnaissance ship that arrived later. The main fleet did not hesitate to pause and leave the action, and went directly to K23.

According to the player's feedback, the cooperative fleet of the Gold and the mercenaries and the target fleet should enter the K23 area at the same time.

The tactics of the wandering fleet are not impossible, K23 is the new defense line of the swarm in the right-wing sector, and the local civilian evacuation is also underway, and the flow of ships passing by is dozens of times that of usual, even if there are pursuers, it is difficult to continue biting in K23 if they are one step behind in the jump. One of the important points is that the K21-K23 defense line has to face several entry points, and there is no direct intervention from powerful countries such as the Empire and the Federation, and the defense line is still like a sieve for the time being, as long as the roving fleet does not hit military targets, basically no one cares about flying objects other than the swarm.

However, they ran into mercenaries with the help of large integrated information ships! Under the influence of the construction of the new defensive line, the player ships of K23 acting alone and in small teams are also far larger than the evacuation zone outside. After confirming the target's tracks, the mercenaries used their channels to find more collaborators here, and finally stopped the target!

The mercenaries of this formation don't care about the lives of scattered players, but in order to achieve the goal of this operation, they did not let the temporary collaborators rush to death, but only asked them to keep their distance, and used electromagnetic missiles and other objects to prevent the target from completing the detachment action again.

Locking the direction and time of the target, with the scanning ability of the Golden Ship, and the help of peripheral retail investors, at this point, the roving fleet can be said to have reached the end of the road, and can only face encirclement and suppression.

However, the roving fleet was unexpectedly resolute, and actually divided about a quarter to drive away the harassing party.

The ships responsible for driving them away are tantamount to abandoning the disengagement procedure, and it is obvious that they will have to face an encirclement force that can deal with the entire fleet, which is basically a fatal situation. Obviously not a rabble tactic, at least when pirates operate in groups, this kind of task is not carried out.

Since people can break their wrists, Pan Wen didn't force it, calculated the time, and ate the broken ones immediately after confirming that the other party had completed the detachment.

However, at this point, the broken part of the Wandering Fleet still didn't want Pan Wen and the others to be happy, and actually chose to blow themselves up before contact!

"Do you feel it? There's definitely something wrong inside. Witnessing the flash of self-detonation, Pan Wen connected to the ship's staff room and said this.

At this time, the expressions of everyone in the staff room also changed from the previous relaxation to seriousness.

Modern ships are designed to protect personnel in a variety of ways, even if the whole ship and the whole system are paralyzed due to brutal operations, and the damage rate is more than 50%, generally speaking, three percent of the crew can still survive within half an hour, and half of them can find protection devices to survive for some time, and have enough time to do humanitarian rescue.

The cost of fighting to the death will not be as high as self-detonation in non-contact, and there must be some big secrets that cannot be leaked out of the fleet, and its secrets are likely to be in the crew.

Why do you say it on the crew?

Because of the occasional breakdown of the passage during the operation, it may suck out the complete maintenance and operation personnel. Even if there is an inward explosion in the space environment, it is still easy to distinguish between people and insects. The result of fighting to the death and self-detonation is only different from the personnel.

"Mr. Pan, are we going to continue to act?" Everyone was silent, and a mercenary staff officer began to ask the boss for his opinion.

"They're very decisive, and there's a good chance they'll break up and start fleeing, and it's very difficult to set up a tracking net." Pan Wen rubbed his temples, "Even if we catch it, the same thing will happen, so let's try to find clues in the wreckage." ”

Pan Wen knew that it would cost money for mercenaries to contact scattered players, and the current situation would have to face the result of making ends meet if the net area increased, which might affect the cooperative relationship between the two sides, and this result was more serious than not being able to destroy the wandering fleet.

Hearing Pan Wen's opinion, the staff officers also breathed a sigh of relief in private.

Pan Wen needs them, why don't they need Pan Wen, after all, this is the only existing big boss that meets the needs of both the ultimate fleet skills, the ship with support functions that players can't buy, go wherever they want, and be willing to cooperate, and they can't find a replacement. If this action leads to a loss, there will be some complaints below, which will more or less affect the subsequent cooperation.

The next thing is simple, inform those who should go home first, the Golden sent a communication ship to explain the situation to the local defenders, and the rest of the work around the wreckage area to do the post-work.

In many literary works, the self-explosion of a spaceship is often described as outrageous, like a star exploding, but there is no such thing at all.

The combat distance of modern space warfare is there, even if an energy burst equivalent to a solar flare is created, and the dispersed energy is of great use to impact the shield dedicated to protecting against energy attacks from a long distance, and the fragments are unlikely to pose a threat to militarized defenses at that distance. Therefore, the self-explosion of the ship is still mainly based on the meltdown to prevent the leakage of technical secrets, and the electromagnetic explosion caused in a small area is only a collateral effect.

It is very difficult to find organic residues in the wreckage after the self-explosion, and in order to prevent some accidents, all the wreckage collected that can be sold as materials also needs to be carefully tested by the hospital ship.

The main cannon is finished, the shield core is melted, not to mention the area close to the engine part, there is almost no high-value equipment that can be used for recovery, and the main body of the recovery of the wreckage is concentrated on the outer armor, stationary cabin, escape cabin and other things, even if Pan Wen doesn't take anything, after deducting the cost of jumping back and forth, the mercenaries who came over this time will be able to add two steamed buns or something.

After two or three hours of working around the wreckage, probably at the mercy of Lady Luck, the hospital ship actually found biological residues on a piece of the wreckage, which seemed to be cells that had fallen off in the water circulation system and had not yet had time to deal with them.

However, after a series of extractions and analyses, the results showed that the gene fragments still belonged to humans.

Everyone was dissatisfied with this result, but no one said that Pan Wen was too suspicious. Players also understand that there is a big problem in it, because even a mercenary like the player, who is not afraid of death at all, will not choose to self-destruct the fleet for no reason, if there is any powerful weapon on the ship, at least use it.

In short, Bai tossed around, except for making people more and more aware of the suspiciousness of the wandering fleet, and did not get important evidence that it was directly related to any force.

In order to allow the mercenaries to get some benefits, and in order to be able to react to the swarm movements in a more timely manner in the future, Pan Wen took the initiative to use his influence in the various consortia in the K11 resistance force in the next few days to help the mercenaries open up relationships and make their group movements in the K12-K23 area more free.

With arrangements made for the mercenaries to limit the destruction of the roving fleet within the defensive line, Pan Vin moved on to the next thing.

The Gold travels long distance, rendezvous with Doris's Angel Trom at MR249, and begins to assemble the few blue-skinned pirate ships already on standby.

The ships of the Blue Pirates are all ships of the previous generation or even two generations, but the ships are their only remaining homes, and the tonnage of the people is large enough. Twenty percent of the retired cruisers in the MR cluster are concentrated in the hands of the Blue Pirates, which seems to be a small proportion, but there are definitely a lot of them, and their base includes retired ships of the Empire and the Federation.

Among the more than ten ships that have completed the MR249 mercenary procedures and entered the standby, there are five cruisers, two of which are the same as the Fat Dun in Panvin's fleet of the 00863E class of Factory 404, and two of the remaining three are light cruisers of the same period as 00863E, and the last one is actually a heavy cruiser of the previous generation of Great Lord!

The national ship system of the Islamic Empire does not change the name, only adds the codename, and the Great Lord class is the core ship of the Imperial fleet, even if it is a previous generation of warships, it cannot be ignored, at most, the accuracy of each equipment has decreased due to the aging of parts.

This time, the person in charge of the conversation is a female Anike, compared to the male, the female Anike has a longer fleshy hair on her forehead, a slightly higher skin finish, and a little different body shape, but for humans, it doesn't matter what the difference is.

"Mr. Pan Wen, in our first direct conversation, we need to emphasize only one point, we are just cooperating, not subordinate."

"You're right, although you didn't end well in breaking through the swarm's defenses, we need your help now, and I will do my best to meet your reasonable requests. And I can tell you the good news, the coalition forces have guaranteed that during the cooperation phase, you can use the supply base and other facilities on the front line. Pan Wen stabbed the other party half-softly and hard, and gave a sweet date.

Representative Anike's stunned hair shook a few times, seemed to have some mood swings, and finally said: "I will convey this good news." ”

The short session seems a bit of gunpowder, but it's actually pretty good. The reason why the Anikes emphasize the cooperative relationship shows that they know very well that if they want to use this time to have a good relationship with the mainstream of the human race, they can't get rid of Pan Wen as a middleman in the short term, with the resume of the blue pirates in the MR246 area, without a middleman, they can only be pirates when they go out, and they can't have other identities.

The conversation is just the beginning.

More than a dozen ships, obviously unable to meet the purpose of playing a role in the war of humans and insects, Pan Wen still has a lot of work to do in MR246 and MR249, with a partner, the next step is to coerce and lure to accelerate the process of forming an Anike mercenary.
