Chapter 81: Hunting for the Serenity (5)
Ship time 23:15 sharp. After several chases and escapes, the Tranquility was finally caught by www.biquge.info the Imperial cruiser group. As the darkness of the void began, the orange-red streamer representing the starship's track spanned most of the zenith. Once again, hopes of a safe place to hide have been dashed.
The long sigh made the headquarters gloomy.
"They're here again, are these guys dogs? How many times have I come back. Even the most belligerent Max couldn't help but complain, and the others were even more distempered by the dog-skin plaster-like group of Imperial cruisers.
"Since they want to fight, give them to fight. Max warms up the main gun. Jasmine, can the auxiliary cannon still be fired today? Liao Fan's poker face could not see emotional fluctuations, and his cold tone had the effect of cooling everyone's emotions.
"The auxiliary cannon can only be used for three-quarters of a second. In addition, antimatter fuel has bottomed out. ”
Command suddenly came to life, and the dull atmosphere was replaced by panic. Frightened eyes wandered around. Jasmine's absence only intensified the hesitation.
"Doesn't it mean that it has been used sparingly? How did it take only 6 hours to bottom? Edlaide hurriedly asked, he had always been at ease, and he was also confused at this time.
"It's really economical, except for the circulation system of the accelerator fluid, other facilities are turned off when it is not necessary, so now the spacecraft can still move, and the power demand cannot be guaranteed after a while." , Jasmine's mood is quite calm, but this girl is usually very emotionally unstable, and no one dares to guarantee when she will break out.
"How long are you waiting, and how long can you hold out if the fighting continues? I need exact data, the last fuel to be reserved for the retreat. ”
After Fang Hushan intervened, the others wisely shut up. This is a sane to the point of being mechanical, and he won't give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope, let's see what he can do.
“。。。 If you fight with all your strength and ensure the strength to escape, you can probably hold out for 10 minutes. Then he escaped at 4.5 speeds for half an hour, and was able to make a short jump. ”
"Whew..." , Hearing the specific data, people's hearts settled down, and it seems that it is not the rhythm of waiting for death.
"Jump, I remember yesterday you said that you couldn't activate the jump function on the ship."
"Yesterday was yesterday, and today suddenly it will. When I collided with the last destroyer, the system prompted me to synchronize my nerves, and the jump activation ability was restored. ”
"Don't talk and gasp, okay, I thought I was going to die this time! Now that we can jump and escape, what are we doing here, let's go! ", the bear represents the opinion of the majority.
"It's not that simple. If the Imperial cruisers are in hot pursuit, we will not be able to escape. ”
Coldly, Liao Fan inserted the topic and poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
"But they're not as fast as we are... , Xiong is not dead and wants to refute Liao Fan's pessimistic arguments.
"Their maximum speed is really not as good as ours, only 3 speeds. But there were more of them than we were, one after the other, and they were not short of energy, and could compensate for the lack of their usual speed by making very short jumps. ”
“。。。 You're saying that as long as we don't get rid of them, we're still going to finish the game. Xiong was very reluctant to this conclusion, but he had to say it.
"Almost! To get out alive, this cruiser fleet had to be solved. Liao Fan's words are like a death sentence for some.
"And, they have to be killed in 10 minutes." , Fang Hushan habitually added desperate spices to the situation of nine deaths and one life.
。。。。。。
The flagship of the expeditionary fleet, the Yaeyama. "Sir, Ozawa's detachment is calling, they will stick to the enemy ships at all costs, and hope that the main force will shrink the encirclement and assist in the roundup."
Chief of Staff Mikami looked at Tada Jun with an inquiring gaze. His commander was pondering, a harbinger of a big decision.
"I'm not reconciled! I wanted to force the enemy's main force out, but here comes such a guy. Is there still no news from the ambushed fleet? Tada Jun frowned, and deep lines appeared between his eyebrows.
"The ambush fleets in all directions have all been confirmed, and there is no news from the solar system."
"Well, since they can abandon such an advanced capital ship, there's no reason why we shouldn't reap. Now, in the name of the captain of the fleet, I have ordered that the starships in all regions be lifted from standby immediately. The whole fleet contracted the encirclement network, focusing on the last position of the enemy ships, and searched and advanced. ”
With Tada's order, with the area where the Furuko and the Wanderer were in contact as the core, within 250,000 kilometers, a large number of Imperial starships appeared in all directions and maneuvered towards the core area. Thousands of engine flares dot the darkness like a miniature version of the Milky Way.
。。。。。。
The Furusabusa of the strike detachment first made contact with the Tranquility as the flagship. The whole ship was ready to be shattered, but the Tranquility had no intention of engaging in battle, and withdrew from its eyes with the power of 4 terrifying machines with a high speed of space. Instead of being upset, Ozawa was in a good mood, so he could buy more time.
The second ship to catch up with the Tranquility in an ultra-short jump was the Kodo, and the two sides still did not fight, the closest distance was more than 2,000 kilometers, and the Tranquility shook off the opponent with its speed.
The third ship is the Furrugal Eagle, the fourth is the Furrugal, and the fifth is the Augurus. Each time, they disengaged again before they were within the distance of engagement. As time passed, the smile on the corner of Ozawa's mouth deepened. He didn't know why his opponent had such a strong strength and was so cowardly. It's just that from his point of view, the opponent is more than welcome to do so, and the longer the time drags on, the better.
。。。。。。
"We can't go on like this, we can't afford to consume these sub-empires." Avina looked worriedly at the group of people who were gathering around the electronic sandbox to discuss. The route had already been designed, but no matter what route she arranged, the Imperial cruisers would be able to catch up with it with this relay-like tracking.
If the Serenity has enough fuel, it will be able to use a mid-range jump and easily escape the pursuit of the Imperial fleet. It's a pity that the reality is always not as expected, and they must find a way to survive in a desperate situation.
"You're not worried, I remember how you used to be timid and fragile, how did you suddenly become so strong?" , the timid and fragile person in Avina's mouth is naturally Jasmine.
"Where? You are talking nonsense, I have always been very firm and good ... Jasmine retorted casually. Her attitude was very calm and relaxed, which made Avina who just said it casually more and more curious, the little girl has really become stronger?
"It's you, why don't you look down on your talent? He doesn't have a good idea. ”
"Who said that I am a talent, Edlaide is a person with a way, but everything must be practical, in this case, he is also a clever woman who has no rice."
The two women chatted with each other and behaved without urgency, but the men were not so relaxed.
Next to the electronic sand table, everyone's faces were solemn. At the moment when the entire Imperial fleet was launched, the Tranquility mastered the true deployment of the Imperial fleet through optical observation.
As predicted, the Imperial fleet was in ambush in all directions, and now they are tightening the encirclement, believing that the Tranquility will soon become a turtle in an urn.
"We'll turn around and fight with those cruisers, and either we'll win and jump away, or they'll hold out until the big force arrives, and we'll admit it." , although the bald commander does not understand the battle between starships, he can understand the situation. He proposes to turn back to the decisive battle.
"The commander of the enemy cruiser group is cautious, he will not give us a chance at a decisive battle. One by one, they made it clear that they were dragging time with us, let alone 10 minutes, even if 1 hour would be consumed, we still couldn't get out. Edlaide directly rejected the bald head's proposal, causing the titular commander to bow his head with a red face.
“。。。。。。” , everyone's gaze below Hushan was silent.
"Don't look at me, I don't have a good way to do it this time. No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end, or we surrender now, so we can't be sunk by the Imperial Army just like this, carrying 250,000 people. Edlaide stared at the electronic sandbox and sighed. Honor students are also at a loss.
Max shook his head, Ivan prayed, and the others were all full of gloom. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liao Fan's poker face, waiting for him to make a final decision.
“。。。 It's not that there is no way, but in this way, the situation will get out of control... His response was beyond everyone's expectations.
