Today is the first day of publication after the revision, and the final chapter of the "Steel and Fire Night" section. The next chapter of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info will be published at six o'clock the day after tomorrow, and the future publication time will also be at six o'clock.

"What?" Ye Zifeng stood up from the captain's seat in shock, staring at the picture on the main display screen with frowning eyebrows, his eyes trembling slightly, "Change the route, set it to manual piloting." Full left rudder at full speed, emergency engine start".

"Yes, sir." Raymond, the first officer in charge of driving, immediately responded, and at the same time clicked a red and black button on the side, and a black and yellow handle immediately popped out, "Emergency engine, start." As he spoke, Raymond pulled his hand outward.

The emergency engine on the right side of the "Stalingrad" ignited and started operating in just one second, and Raymond's fingers kept tapping on the photonic entity keyboard to give instructions to the battleship to adjust its driving attitude, but after dozens of commands were typed, Raymond let out a long breath: "The attitude of the battleship has been adjusted, sir." It is heading to the left and is expected to enter the new track in three minutes. ”

"Good." Ye Zifeng replied briefly, and then fell into surprise.

Withstanding the frontal fire of the electromagnetic railgun with its armor? This is also incredible, but at present, Ye Zifeng has been able to accept this fact, and he sat back in the captain's seat with some surprise.

"The first shot didn't work, the second is ready, do you want to fire, sir?" Although everyone in the bridge was surprised, they still dutifully reported the situation to Ye Zifeng.

"No need." Ye Zifeng wanted to come up with a solution, but time waited for no one.

"The other party's weapon was fired."

There was a flash of light on the main screen, then the screen disappeared, the entire bridge shook slightly, the fluorescent lights on the ceiling flickered a few times before returning to normal, and the screen in front of everyone also showed signs of disorder.

"Xiao Fengfeng, what happened, the earthquake?" Ye Kexin's anxious figure came from the communication channel in the ship, but at this time, Ye Zifeng didn't care about Ye Kexin's address to him and his questioning without common sense.

"We've been attacked."

"Attacked? Are there fewer ships? I am afraid that there will be no less than a hundred ships that can shake the 22.4-kilometer-long 'Stalingrad', right? ”

"No, the other side only has one ship."

"A ship?" Ye Kexin's was full of disbelief and surprise.

"I heard from Colonel Sakurai that you should have seen that ship."

"Seen? Ah, could it be the ship that disappeared into the fleet of pilgrims? ”

"I don't know, but I think it's right. Is there anything you can do? ”

"Yes, yes, but I don't know if it will work?"

"What's the solution?" Ye Zifeng came to the spirit slightly.

"I charged the beam cannon for the experiment."

"Beam cannon, can this thing work?" Ye Zifeng was a little puzzled.

"Of course it works, I've launched it once before, and I can already condense the energy into a beam to emit."

"I see, I'll leave this to EVA." After that, Ye Zifeng hung up the call.

"Be small, hear me, you go first." Ye Kexin looked at EVA on the table leg on the side.

"Real." EVA grumbled, "I'll be able to finish it here." ”

"Then I won't bother you." Ye Kexin stood up from behind the desk, walked to the bed in the corner of the captain's room and lay down, "Sleep, sleep!" ”

"The damage assessment report has results, the right side of the front hull of the ship is broken, sixteen compartments are depressurized, and eleven people were killed in the explosion. Repair teams are rushing to the scene, but at the moment we can't fix it anytime soon. A staff officer read the information that had been put together.

"I see." Ye Zifeng nodded at the staff officer, and the staff officer turned to leave, this is a crew member reported:

"The beam weapon system has been activated, and my permissions are no longer able to view the user and authorizer."

"With the authority I have delegated." Ye Zifeng responded.

"Sir, something is wrong." Naoto Sakurai looked at the broken lines on the screen that had not changed again, and said suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

"It stands to reason that after another shot, no matter whether there is enough time or not, the weapon must be recharged again, but this battleship did not move after firing again, and even the energy did not gather again."

"Something is wrong." Ye Zifeng nodded, and at this time, another crew member reported.

"An unidentified object was found to have been separated from that ship, and the result of the digital model analysis of the data scans was," the crew paused, "and the result was an escape pod." ”

"Escape pod? Why? Ye Zifeng also felt slightly surprised, "Scan the inside of the escape pod to see if there are any signs of life." Don't be fooled by these tricks. ”

When Ye Zifeng saw the escape pod, he immediately thought that it would be a trick, using the escape pod to create an illusion that the enemy had evacuated, and then thinking of weapons and not gathering energy, Ye Zifeng thought that this idea was very likely. But the result didn't seem to be what Ye Zifeng imagined.

"Scanning, this time there are images." A colonel's staff officer looked at the stereoscopic image displayed with a thermal image, "There are seven signs of life in each escape pod, and the outline does not match all the pilgrims who have been doing so, but the body heat shows that the result is that of a pilgrim." ”

"Trust it for a moment and hopefully don't make a mistake. Send a squad of 'Night Stalkers' fighters to destroy all the escape pods. A computer is used to create a three-dimensional model, record all the data, load it into a database, and immediately transmit it back to the ground command center for analysis. Ye Zifeng said, "But then again, who saw what they looked like when they opened fire just now?" ”

"It shouldn't be, the extravehicular camera was short-circuited by an unknown energy at the moment of the attack, and it should not have captured the moment of launch." Naoto Sakurai explained on the side.

"What about the observation window?" Ye Zifeng subconsciously looked in the direction of the observation window, but what he saw was not a scene in space, but an iron gray glowing under the illumination of a fluorescent lamp. Ye Zifeng was stunned when he saw it, "When did the observation window close?" ”

Naoto Sakurai rubbed his palms oozing cold sweat, and while comforting himself in his heart, this was because Ye Zifeng had been observing the overall situation, and explained: "The glass of the observation window was shattered because of the nuclear bomb explosion before, so it was closed. ”

"Oh, that's it. But why launch a nuclear bomb? Ye Zifeng nodded, but new questions followed.

"To delay the advance of the Pilgrim warship." The automatic door of the bridge suddenly opened, and Ye Kexin walked into the bridge, "The front fleet of the pilgrims chased the Twelfth Fleet and the 'Stalingrad' for 2,000 kilometers, and they were almost caught up. ”

"Understandable." Ye Zifeng nodded at this time, "But what are you doing here?" ”

"Of course something came here." Ye Kexin put a thick stack of white paper on the small table next to the captain's seat, "Just now I captured the energy change at the moment of launch by the sensor, but then the signal of the sensor disappeared. ”

Ye Kexin's expression was very serious, Ye Zifeng also saw that something was wrong, and with doubts, Ye Zifeng picked up the stack of white paper on the table. The dense calculation process and a large number of function images marked in the Cartesian coordinate system, and the function equations marked by Σ and f(x) crowded every corner of every blank paper, and finally there was an equation marked in Chinese characters and a large list of explanations. Ye Zifeng took a cursory look at it a few times and then put it back on the table, and then shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"I don't understand. Did you figure it out? ”

"Of course I figured it out." Ye Kexin raised her chin proudly, "Don't forget that I am a top student in quantum physics, and my mentor may not be as accurate as me." ”

"Oh." Ye Zifeng nodded, but in fact, in his heart, Ye Kexin bragged.

"And I didn't understand that you still watched it for so long." Ye Kexin then put on a contemptuous expression, and then said, "I won't say the specific details, I estimate that what I want to say will take ten and a half days and a month for you as a mathematical idiot to understand." Let me tell you a little bit about the results. ”

Ye Kexin paused for a moment, and the look of disdain on his face disappeared, replaced by an extremely rare serious expression.

"The total energy of the radiation wave at the moment of attack is 3.88×10^26. I don't know how to describe it, but it's huge, big. And the most important point is that this is just the energy of the radiation wave emitted by the attack. So I speculate that there should only be two situations when the other side launches, the first is that it is crooked. ”

"Crooked?" Ye Zifeng's eyes widened. Just one missed attack made a splash on the "Stalingrad", and the titanium alloy armor plates up to three meters thick on the sides disappeared in one attack, so to be honest, it is unbelievable when you think about it carefully. However, numbers are the most convincing tool, and if such a high energy hits the "Stalingrad" head-on・・・・・・ the consequences are really unimaginable, but Ye Zifeng is still trying to settle down, except for his own guess, "Could that be antimatter?" It's the kind of thing that will annihilate. ”

"It is the collision of positive and antimatter that produces annihilation. Although it looks like it, if it's antimatter, the power amount should not be so high, and the attack method should be solid. Ye Kexin denied Ye Zifeng's idea in two or three sentences, "So I think the second guess is more realistic." This attack is scoped rather than targeted. In short, it's a range attack rather than a single attack. This speculation also confirms why he didn't attack us before. Because the flagship of the Pilgrim fleet is within his range of attack"

"You mean, we ran into a ・・・・・・ mage?" Ye Zifeng was puzzled.

"I guess that's okay, but I prefer a mage to a mage for short." Ye Kexin raised the index finger of his right hand and pointed to the ceiling and said, then put it down, "If it doesn't interfere with your work, I won't leave." ”

"Whatever, the information you gave is very useful." Ye Zifeng nodded with relief, and then looked inside the bridge, "Who is sorting out the information of that battleship?" ”

"It's me, sir." One of the ship's crew members looked up.

"Sort out the clause 'it may be a range attack.'" Ye Zifeng paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, "Write another 'may be a one-time attack weapon'." ”

"Yes, sir." The crew continued to bury their heads in sorting out the information.

"Why is it a one-time assault weapon?" Sitting in the captain's seat, Ye Kexin asked.

"It's very simple, such a powerful weapon, even if it is really an area attack, it should be charged again after an attack, not fleeing." Ye Zifeng paused, "The fact that they escaped means that this weapon can only be used once, otherwise it won't escape." ”

"Makes sense." Ye Kexin nodded thoughtfully.

"Send ten space combat teams to capture that battleship." Ye Zifeng ordered.

"But will there be some self-detonation or something?" Naoto Sakurai looked a little worried.

"No problem, if there is a self-detonation mechanism, they will send the boat to a meeting. And the fact that they chose to flee means that they are afraid of us boarding the ship, and if they have the amount of energy they need to escape, they can't help but flee, since they have escaped, it can be seen that they have no energy left after an attack. I guess even the life support system won't work. Ye Zifeng explained, and then Naoto Sakurai responded and went to arrange the landing.

"Sir, there's an urgent email from the 'Yugatrahi'."

"Urgent mail? What happened. Ye Zifeng motioned for the crew to read out the contents of the email.

"The Pilgrim fleet passed through the line of defense and failed to block it."

"That's it?"

"That's all."

"That, Anthony." Ye Zifeng shook his head helplessly, "Inform the Third and Seventh Fleets to enter the battlefield immediately and carry out the blocking mission, and the whole process will be controlled by me remotely." ”

"Huh? Thirdly, should the Seventh Fleet be in the rear of the Pilgrim fleet from time to time? Ye Kexin asked.

"Originally, but after the 'Nibelungen' fleet came, I changed the position of the third and seventh fleets, and let them retreat to the sides of the 'Nibelungen' fleet's diagonal rear, with the 'Nibelungen' shielding, and the pilgrims could not detect the movement of these two fleets." Ye Zifeng was a little proud.

"You're really insidious." Ye Kexin gave Ye Zifeng a thumbs up.

"Thanks for the compliment." Ye Zifeng smiled. At this time, there was another staff report.

"Report to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th fleets, which conducted flanking operations. The fleets to the left and right of the Pilgrims have collapsed, and the remnants of the warships are retreating as if they were outside the solar system. ”

"Very well, tell them, block the retreat of the remnants of the Pilgrim fleet. I don't want to be like Xiang Yu who put Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet. ”

"Yes, sir. The order has been issued. ”

"Connect me to the flagships of the Third and Seventh Fleets, and I'm going to form a small meeting."

"The link has been established, and you can get started, sir."

There are two audio two-section ports on the home screen, because of the distance, the video link cannot be established normally, so it is better to only establish an audio connection, after all, it is enough to use only one mouth for a meeting.

"Two commanders, I am the commander of the 'Stalingrad' fleet, that is, your superiors." Ye Zifeng took the lead in introducing himself, "Time is urgent, let's not talk nonsense, according to the previous plan, we will block the remnants of the Pilgrim fleet." The flagship is the key to this battle, and the Pilgrims have lost their minds a little bit, so I ask, no, I beg you, at all costs, to sink the flagship of the Pilgrim fleet. ”

"Yes, sir." The icon for the Third Fleet video connection began to light up, indicating that the voice was coming from the Third Fleet flagship, "But what are we going to do." ”

"It's very simple, set the collision course, and the computer will automatically control it. After the setup was completed, all the crew abandoned the ship, and after the ship was loaded into the propulsion unit of the Pilgrim battleship, they fired an electromagnetic railgun to destroy it completely. ”

For a moment, there was silence in the bridge, and everyone stopped talking, some were surprised, some were pensive, and some silently closed their eyes.

After about twenty seconds, the Seventh Fleet's connection icon lit up: "Sir, are you sure this plan is feasible?" What if you are destroyed in the process of self-sinking? ”

Such an answer was obviously in response to Ye Zifeng's request: "Let all the warplanes of the Third and Seventh Fleets rush into the fleet of the pilgrims and escort you." ”

"Sir." The commander of the Third Fleet said in a low tone, "We know. ”

Ye Zifeng took a deep breath and exhaled a long time: "Please allow me to represent the human race, thank you." Let's get started. ”

"Yes, sir." There was no hesitation in his reply, his tone was full of determination, and he immediately disconnected from the audio connection.

"Are you sure that such a plan is feasible?" Ye Kexin looked serious again.

"I'm reminded of a Japanese anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion, in which a German pilot came to Japan and encountered the Ninth Apostle or the Seventh Apostle at sea, I can't remember exactly. After that, the apostle was destroyed by firing a cannon in the apostle's mouth by sinking the battleship by sinking itself. Ye Zifeng said softly, leaning back slightly.

"You would believe in the tactics of the anime, you are really hopeless." Ye Kexin also said lightly.

In the moment of destruction, the front of the battleship wrapped in titanium alloy armor plates up to three meters thick first stabbed into the propulsion device of the flagship of the Pilgrim fleet "Infinite Wisdom" and became dilapidated, but the electromagnetic railgun launcher hidden deep inside the battleship was still intact, and the rumbling cannon announced the end of the mission of the two battleships, and the violent explosion suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and in an instant, this battlefield was enveloped.

Uld sat in the empty bridge, and the white-armored alien crew who had been intimidated by him before dispersed after the battleship collided with the "Infinite Wisdom", leaving Uld alone to sit quietly on the captain's seat in the bridge, stroking the captain's badge that could come from the duel, the whole person seemed extremely quiet, and the violent anger on his body had disappeared at this time. Now Woolde is like an old man sitting under a tree, lonely waiting for the last second of his life.

"I've failed, father." Woold muttered, "Is it right or wrong for me to be big?" ”

After that, the intense flames from the explosion flooded the entire bridge.

・・・・・・

"You're really laid-back, but it's summer vacation now, what are you doing back at the academy?" Standing on a small island in the western Pacific Ocean, a young man stood at the entrance of the "Newcastle" college, and the question was asked by an old man who was comfortably lying in a rocking chair and smoking a cigar leisurely.

"It looks like you're more idle." The young man spoke slowly, "I came back to pick up my luggage, and I probably won't be back next semester." ”

"Huh? Why? You were fired? The old man looked a little surprised.

"I think it's possible." The young man shrugged his shoulders and then thought about walking around the academy, "Say goodbye to those old friends for me." Or it can be said that we will never see each other again. ”

"Hey, the old diehards of the Board of Supervisors are really very careful. Either way. The old man leaned back vigorously and shook the rocking chair, "If you want to go, go quickly, lest I touch the scene and be reluctant to kidnap you again." ”

"Hehe, you're so bored." The young man's voice became quieter and quieter, and the back of the departing man became smaller and smaller.

Only the old man was left at the door of the gate, and the old man sighed helplessly, muttering in his mouth: "Is this the so-called jealous talent?" But since I want to leave, I also have to give him some gifts, which should be the parting gifts that the Chinese say. Then the old man spat out a smoke ring.

Port of Hamburg, Germany, in an unknown location of an estate.

A group of people sitting on either side of the long do were discussing something fiercely.

"The elders of the board of supervisors have sent a notice asking us to hold a trial at the beginning of the next semester." One said.

"Is this really necessary?" One said.

"But I think he did too much this time." Another said.

"But how are we going to judge? His group of relatives and friends are all young people, and they are very powerful. The first said worriedly.

"How to judge is a matter for the elders of the Board of Supervisors, we are just a jury. Think about whether you want to support or disagree. ”

"I heard that he and Mr. Feng are very close, so they should ・・・・・・"

"Get him down!"

"That's it."

"Mom, my brother said he had something to do and would be back in a few days." Young girl sits at a table eating breakfast with orange juice and toast bread set, looking at Tencent News on her phone.

"What can he do? I guess most of them have already come back, forgot to buy gifts, and are busy picking them out. The middle-aged man across the table put down the TV remote control in his hand and took a sip of oranges.

"How could it be, our little Feng Feng will definitely not put a gift." A good-looking woman sat on the other side of the table, "When will he come back, don't we need to pick him up." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go together." A girl sitting across from the woman with a ponytail hurriedly swallowed the bread in her mouth and expressed her opinion.

"Xiao Fengfeng's plane at eight o'clock tomorrow, if you calculate it, you should be able to come back at about five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Then it's decided, tomorrow your mother and I will take leave and go to pick up our son home."

"Oh~" the ponytail girl cheered and drank the orange juice in her cup.

(End of Steel and Fire Night)
