Chapter 14: The Danger Zone (Part II)

With the end of the first round of attacks by the Federation Army, the public channel of the fleet, which had been temporarily blocked, was once again open, but this time, the arrogant and contemptuous scolding of the captains could no longer be heard. There was just a mix of gunshots, runs, shouts, and screams, the notes of death, which had become the only sound that could be heard in the channel.

"Turn it off."

Looking at the increasingly ugly faces of the crew around him, Borg decisively ordered the fleet channel to be turned off.

"Ensign, ...... you" Cecilia, who was piloting the spaceship, looked back sharply at the struggling Borg, she didn't understand why Borg's face was struggling.

"Cecilia, they're finished. We can't save them......" Borg gritted his teeth in pain and roared, "There is no point in listening to their wails of dying, and it is your duty as captain to take us out alive." You did it not so long ago, and this time, you can do it too! ”

“……”

Looking at Borg's determined and trusting gaze, and then at the expectant expressions of the crew around her, Cecilia nodded, gritted her teeth to forget the hoarse scream, and slammed the fleet channel down.

At this moment, a message suddenly came from the navigation map in front of the Borg's workbench, which was exactly where Colin deduced the location of the Union carrier by calculating the launch route of the assault boat.

With this exact location in hand, the experienced Borg immediately deduced the attack route of the next attack of the Federation mothership and quickly mapped out several routes that could evade the attack.

Now, in such a situation of absolute superiority of the federal forces, the TR-735, a small transport ship with almost no armed forces, alone cannot organize an effective counterattack. Therefore, the only thing Borg and Cecilia, who are the brains of the ship, can do is to hide in the meteorite belt, use the messy meteorites in the meteorite belt, and use the empty space between the two meteorite belts as a boundary, try their best to avoid the attack of the Federation Army, and pray that the Federation Army will lose patience because of this and let them live.

However, Cecilia and Borg did not know that on the fleet's flagship JC-492, which had been completely captured by the Federation Army, Lieutenant Bert, who was a lurker, had noticed their small fish that had slipped through the net, and out of jealousy of Robin, he actually panicked with the Federation Army that there were important people on the TR-735 after joining up with the Union Army, and asked the Union Army to do their best to kill the leaked transport ship.

In fact, before receiving this false information from Bert, the Federal Commander was ready to abandon the attack on the TR-735, after all, in his opinion, it was pointless to attack a small transport ship that had slipped through the net at the risk of the assault boat hitting a meteorite. The record of the nine transport ships was enough for him to wash away the shame of defeat for himself, so although it was a pity that he could not completely annihilate the other party, it was only a regret.

However, all this was completely different after Bert provided this false information.

An important person, this is enough to make the commander of the Federation Force have infinite reverie, and the effective and superb evasive maneuvers of the TR-735 have already shown the extraordinary piloting skills of the captain of this transport. This, coupled with the undisciplined departure of the TR-735 from the fleet before it left the meteorite belt, seems to confirm that the TR-735 has the authority to override the captain of the flagship, otherwise no captain would risk punishment for leaving the fleet because of unfounded assumptions.

Misled by Bert, the Union commander mistakenly believed the information provided by Bert.

The capture of a big man was enough credit for the Union commander to risk it. Therefore, after ordering the navigator to locate the hidden position of the TR-735, the commander of the Federation Force ordered all the remaining assault boats to be put into position and devote all the remaining assault boats to the next wave of attacks.

"They're targeting us!"

Shortly after the Federalist commander's decision, Borg sensed their intentions based on his own experience in jamming signals from the Federalist mothership.

"They...... Are they going to wipe us out? ”

The crew looked at Borg in horror, but in Borg's helpless gaze, they had already received this answer that almost made them desperate.

"Why, they have already routed nine transport ships. Why drive us out! ”

The fear that gradually spread made the crew howl hysterically, having served in space for so long, they knew very well that if the Federation forces were to annihilate them at any cost, then their small transport ship would never be spared. So, their last hope is now gone.

"Robin sent a live video request."

Suddenly, Cecilia looked at Borg in surprise.

"Connect him." Borg, who kept himself as calm as possible, connected to the live video link with Robin, who was in the arsenal.

As Robin's figure appeared in the three-dimensional drawing, the entire bridge cockpit suddenly fell silent. Now, Robin, who rescued them from the tiger's jaws once, is like a lifeline in the eyes of the drowning man, and has become the only hope in their hearts.

"They're going to kill them all."

However, Robin's first words made everyone fall into an ice cellar.

Borg looked at Robin in the three-dimensional diagram with a grim face and sighed: "I have already deduced this result." ”

"Can we turn back to Charon?"

"Impossible." Borg shook his head: "It will take a lot of time to turn around in the meteorite-dense meteorite belt, and during this time, we will be the best target in their eyes. ”

"Yes......" Robin seemed to have expected Borg's answer, pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "Then, let's rush out." ”

"Rush out?" Borg looked at Robin in shock and roared, "Are you crazy? You're killing yourself! ”

"Suicide? Perhaps......" Robin smiled bitterly: "This seems to be the only way to survive other than surrendering." ”

"Surrender ......"

The appearance of this word made the eyes of all the crew members in the cockpit light up, and they exchanged glances with each other, and a dangerous atmosphere suddenly began to brew.

But just as the crew prepares to make surrender their first priority, Robin's words dash their hopes.

"But the bastards didn't give us a notice to surrender, which means they don't need to be taken prisoner." Robin spread his hands: "So, we have no other choice. ”

Speaking of this, Robin transferred the video signal to the star map, pointed to the blank area between the two meteorite belts in the star map, and said: "The straight-line width of this blank area is 3,000 kilometers, which happens to be the shortest acceleration radius of the 'Arrow' assault boat, so if we shorten the distance between the two, then the federal assault boat can no longer pose a threat to us, in that case, we may still have a chance to live." ”

"Do you want to rush through this empty space and enter the opposite meteorite belt before they launch the next round of attacks?" Borg understood what Robin meant, and began to calculate in his mind what the plan could do.

"That's pretty much it, but if we choose this plan, we'll have to use the location of the Federation Mothership as a breakthrough." Robin pointed to the irregular meteorite belt on the star map and said, "I carefully observed the terrain of the meteorite belt, and only the location of their mothership has a relatively wide channel, so this should be our only breakthrough." But in that case, we might have a ramming with the other side's mothership. ”

“……”

Robin's proposal gave Borg a kind of almost suffocating pressure, and with the instantaneous acceleration ability of the TR-735, it was indeed possible to traverse the dangerous 3,000-kilometer empty area in less than a second, and this could indeed cause the federal assault boat to be ineffective. However, when the ship starts at such a top speed, it is impossible to slow down instantly, that is, the TR-735 will crash headlong into the dense meteorite pile at a speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the most likely consequence is that the ship will be directly destroyed.

As for the area mentioned by Robin, it is indeed an area with a relatively rare number of meteorites in the entire meteorite belt, and its length and width should barely allow ships to slow down. However, this area is now occupied by the Federation Mothership, and if this is used as a breakthrough point, there is a high risk of a collision between the two ships.

"Crazy proposal......" Borg rubbed his temples hard, he wondered if he was crazy enough to seriously think about such a crazy suggestion.

"Only crazy people can escape from a desperate situation, of course, this is only my layman's proposal, as for whether it can be realized, it is up to you insiders to decide."

Robin in the image has a relaxed face, as if he does not take the impending danger to heart at all.

"Ten percent, I'm about 10 percent sure." Cecilia replied through gritted teeth.

"Ten percent ......"

Borg looked at Cecilia hesitantly, as the navigator of the safe course for the ship, Borg had never brought a ship into such a lane that could die at any time in all his years of service. However, the current situation forced him to go against his own ideas, because Cecilia was only 10% sure.

"Well, take a gamble!"

Eventually, Borg made a decision.

During the video, Robin smiled encouragingly at Cecilia: "The brave wins, I believe that the stupid captain on the other side will definitely not have more courage than Cecilia, he will avoid us." ”

“……”

Borg glanced at Cecilia, who was extremely nervous at the moment, and sighed silently in his heart: "I hope so......"
