The D21 Orbital Combined Fleet went on alert for several days, neither waiting for Pan Wen to return with a new force that might upset the balance, nor waiting for the incoming fleet. After calculating the time difference, everyone felt that the fleet that Pan Wen noticed should not be so late, and after discussion, the orbital fleet was released from the alert twenty hours ago after arranging a few peripheral detection boats.

When Kareda received the spectral analysis map and communication from the unknown ship, she was a little frightened when she behaved very elegantly most of the time.

Not to mention the presence of an approaching enemy fleet in the non-alert state, as a member of the family in Gujemet, she knew that there were only two warships in the entire Segeis that could use the almost universal civilian-grade technology of spectral analysis to obtain a wide range of tactical intelligence! No matter how much she overestimated Pan Wen, she didn't expect that a small pirate who only had two ships a few months ago would be able to get that kind of warship today, it seems that something very important was missing from the previous investigation of his assets.

Maybe it was right to help my sister kill this person in the first place.

Kareda shook her head, dispelling her immature thoughts and shifting her focus to the situation at hand.

After a brief discussion with the other shipowners, the fleet was informed of the direction and approximate distance of the suspicious target, and the other shipowners separated into several small fleets to leave the D21 orbit, some moving towards the Halo Zone, and some moving towards other smaller satellites of Hemer.

In addition, a squad of three small gunboats advanced in the direction of the suspicious fleet. In case people are just passing by, it is not good to lose the ship in vain.

The fleet dispersed, and Karida once again turned her gaze to the spectral analysis map, on which someone had deliberately marked a green dot and the speed. She finished her calculations on the captain's desk alone, it would take a lot of time for that guy to get close to D21, and the suspicious fleet seemed to be a little faster.

It's not absolute, the speed of the suspicious fleet is unknown, but no matter what they're going to do, as long as they need to pass through Hemer, they will inevitably need to slow down, and this kind of aura and a bunch of satellites will tear the high-speed moving battleship apart at any time. If you could delay a little time before the conflict begins, the outcome could be very different.

……

At this time, the virtual conference room of a certain fleet was coming to an end.

"Everyone, there are still a few hours to enter the range of the Hemer Star Aura, this operation can gamble on everyone's net worth, I hope you don't make an unplanned mess."

Everyone in the virtual conference room is a dark shadow, and the person who just spoke has a glowing "No. 1" on his head.

"I don't understand, our big fleet used to say that we wanted a piece of the pie, did that little girl dare to refuse, at most to make less money, why do you have to make a lose-lose plan." Number 5 seems to have a strong opinion on action.

"Hmph, who thinks they have a lot of money?" No. 3 snorted coldly, "You can't make a fortune in your life as a good person." ”

"What I said is that the little girl has an arm turned outward in her own house, so she can only blame herself for her thin life."

Seeing a few off-topic, the head of the No. 2 came out to do peace: "Hey, hey, hey, let's say a few words, if these words are transmitted back to the ears of 'that person', we won't look good on our faces." ”

"What No. 2 said is that I won't talk about anything that has nothing to do with the battle for the time being. There's not much time left, so after changing the tactical formation and starting to slow down, you can take a break and break up if there is no problem. ”

Deceleration is the same as acceleration, and the propulsion response of the auxiliary thrusters becomes noticeable when it is too urgent, and it is easy to approach the target silently by starting to slow down a few hours in advance and with electronic silence.

No. 15 spoke at the end of the meeting: "I have thought about something for a while but decided to say it, since an hour ago, my ship has detected three unknown miniature quantum reactions, 251 may still have some things we don't know, I think it's better to be cautious when acting." ”

"Well, got it, let's break up." No. 1 apparently didn't take other people's words seriously, after all, there were not many cases of miniature quantum reactions being detected, and it was only because the range of passive sensing was small, not that there were few occurrences in the universe.

After the meeting, dozens of warships performed tactical maneuvers, and groups of two and two leaned together in a belly-to-belly fashion almost without spacing, and in a matter of minutes, the points displayed on the radar were reduced by half. The pair of ships approached each other again, and the two points stuck together laterally to an unsafe distance of less than three hundred meters, and when the coordinate system expanded to a certain extent, the two points would stick together.

The plan of action is carefully customized, with a quarter of the radar display number close to the target area, and the strength of the target fleet, if not so much that it does not go unnoticed, does not cause total alert. Even if the number of fleets displayed at a certain distance is one-half, the target will most likely not directly enter the combat state, and at that time, they will not be able to rely on them after a slight delay under the pretext of passing by.

MR251 was rarely set foot by human forces, and the fleet's movements were so smooth that not even a passing civilian ship was seen.

As they got closer and closer to Haimer, the atmosphere in the United Front band became serious, and no one spoke for an hour or two - they had to face pirates who also belonged to Segeis, and no one could let go, otherwise Segeis would become their forbidden area, and there was no second place in the world where pirates could feel as safe as Segeis.

I thought that I should be able to reach the predetermined location smoothly, but before I entered the range of the aura, the sensor of the forward ship found two small gunboats, which seemed to be used as a guard.

"Obviously, the 'cargo ship' was on guard when it passed by yesterday." Number 1's voice looked helpless.

"Now is not the time to hesitate, take an idea, and in a little while the gunboats will find us." No. 2, who had just made peace, came out to explain the situation.

No. 1 was silent for more than ten seconds before the result: "No. 19, you go forward and let the gunboats blocking our line get on your ship to 'check', remember, don't let them 'check' for a few hours, and if they are exposed, notify us to open fire." ”

"Yes."

A slightly "fat" ship was detached from the rear of the fleet, opened the main thruster group afterburner and flew out.

The width and length of conventional warships are basically between 1:3.5 and 1:5, while the "fat" ships that fly out reach 1:2.5. In addition to accommodating two lower-class ships inside, the dockyard ship has a retractable maintenance support structure, which can be used as a large open-air repair platform when deployed.

"The other ships turned off their thrusters and remained silent, pausing all communications until the signal from the 19th." After the 1st finished speaking, the United Front band was turned off.

There was silence in space and inside the ships.

"Please note that you are about to pass through a private area, please inform us of your identity and explain your intentions."

About ten minutes after the 19th approached, it was warned, and all the ships behind it heard it because of the use of the public frequency band.

The 19th, who was very "timid", immediately changed his posture and gradually turned to continue to approach the gunboat sideways, and his obscene voice was also heard in the open frequency band:

"Ahh I encountered a meteorite before when I misoperated and caused a stall when I was doing emergency avoidance, and I want to use the gravitational field of Hemer Star to speed up, if you are not at ease, you can come up and check. ”

Battleships have enough thrust and generally disdain to borrow celestial gravitational acceleration to accelerate, but many armed merchant ships will still use the ancient acceleration method because they are too thoroughly modified and have insufficient thrust when carrying cargo.

The gunboat on the opposite side apparently believed the nonsense of the 19th, and asked him to maintain his attitude and speed before starting to approach, and ten minutes later the two ships docked, and there was no situation in the middle to indicate that the other side had spotted the fleet behind.

After a few more minutes, the fleet united front band lit up.

"That's it, they're glad they 'checked' on the boat."

"Well done, on the 19th, you will get the remaining gunboat after you stand still for a few minutes, and we will go to the target first."

"Well, their people 'asked us to lean over,' and it's not a big problem."

"Haha, this kid!" The reason for the 19th makes the United Front band seem to be a little easier.

The main fleet endured until dock ship No. 19 docked with the remaining gunboat, and then ignited the main thruster group again to correct course and continue to approach the target area.

When the fleet had already flown above the halo, someone suddenly retreated: "No, they are on alert, we can't get close enough to not be detected." ”

"15th, what are you talking about now? You should understand that the only way to make a tactical plan is to minimize attrition, and the size and composition of our fleet are very large even if we attack head-on, you ...... Didn't you think about fighting a hard battle from the beginning? ”

"I didn't ...... No. ”

"That's good, No. 11, No. 12, No. 13, spread out all your fighters, if they really enter the alert again, we can't be too passive."

“OK！ /Good. ”

To release the fighters in silence, it is natural to borrow an isolation cabin with an anti-radar structure, and only four to six fighters can be released in an average of two minutes, and it takes three people and five ships more than 10 minutes to release nearly 100 fighters, which is not a small investment.

The fighters scattered in all directions, taking special care of the halo belt under the fleet, so as not to find something hidden inside, but it turned out that nothing was found. There is no time to search for a larger area, but since the fighter plane can't find a suspicious object, even if the other party has a ship in another location in the halo belt, it is easy to treat the fleet as a stone that the halo belt has knocked out.

Through the halo zone, they can already see the large and small satellites around the Haimer Star with the naked eye, and from the perspective of their actions, the target D21 satellite is being blocked by the huge blue-black Haimer Star itself, and the fleet will next use the satellite orbit to accelerate slightly and occupy a certain maneuverability advantage.

The pirates, who felt that things were back on track, almost vomited blood because of something before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Warning! Discover the active enemy signal! The source of the signal is...... D21！ ”

“Sh1t！”
