Chapter 37: The Beheading Operation (I)

On February 11 of the first year of the ephemeris, the fleet had been in the ruins system for more than a month, during which the fleet carefully searched the entire ruin system, and even the three ruin planets were dug into the ground. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Disappointing is that the fleet did not find particularly valuable mineral resources, not even biological resources. The three ruined planets are silent, and even the creatures in the deep sea have mutated, and their bodies have mutated due to the large amount of radiation that carries them, which is not suitable for human consumption at all.

Now the entire ruined area is decreasing every day, which is the result of the work of the fleet's civilian salvage team. Nowadays, private companies are able to mass-produce self-designed hovercars, which require a large amount of metal resources. It is not cost-effective to buy from the fleet, but it is better to buy it directly from the salvage group, and then process it by renting the metal furnaces and separators on the fleet engineering ships, so that the production of hovercars can soon be carried out. Not only does it improve efficiency, but it also saves a lot of money.

During this period, from time to time, a large number of mechanical civilization warships attacked, and they were reduced to ruins by the destroyer formations cruising at the edge of the star system, which was a great joy for the civilian salvage groups who were due to the lack of wreckage. It's like sending them a contribution point. Of course, the fleet is not really resting here. There are still very important things to deal with. For example: looking for the lair of a mechanical civilization.

After the operational meeting, the participants developed an operational plan called "Operation Decapitation". The number of mechanical civilizations is too large to be wiped out. Even the fleet is not destroyed as fast as they are produced, after all, the number of warships in the human fleet is too small. If you can't let the AI escape with a single kill, it will be a waste of effort. Therefore, we can only take advantage of the advanced technology of the human fleet to find the lair of the mechanical civilization and directly send elite forces to destroy their main body. As long as the main body is gone, all the remaining battleships will become scrap metal.

However, as the investigation progressed, Chen Peilin and others felt more and more terrifying. The fleet searched in a spherical shape with a radius of one and a half light years, and it turned out that the shadow of the mechanical fleet could be found one and a half light years away. It wasn't until one and a half light-years that the fleet of mechanical civilizations was reduced, but there were still resources to detect ships. Resources within a radius of one and a half light years! If there were more star systems, how many warships would there be! Fortunately, there is only one small star system in this range, and it seems that this mechanical civilization has just left the ruin galaxy not long ago, after all, they have not mastered space jumping technology. At their turtle-like speed, it's a miracle that they can radiate to other star systems. However, how to locate the existence of the matrix of mechanical civilization is still a very difficult problem. After all, mechanical civilization is not an entity, it can flow through radio waves and even other forms. After all, it exists only in the form of information. As long as the transmission of information is not missing, it can continue to exist. The members of the staff team racked their brains and were helpless, and finally Chen Peilin asked Natalie for help to get a solution. After all, only the same kind of people know the shortcomings of the same kind, and thanks to Natalie's trust in Chen Peilin, otherwise this artificial intelligence Alius heel will never be revealed.

So, before the plan began, Chen Peilin used Natalie's help to create a set of super-large energy shield arrays, which would form a joint shield after being installed on the battleship, which was mainly developed to strengthen the protection of the weak gunboats in the fleet. But this time it's different. Previously, the combined shields in the fleet were mainly used to protect warships, but this group formed a large energy shield field to wrap the main body of mechanical civilization. Since it is not clear where the Mother Body is, this area must be very large, and when the shield is opened, it will cut off all internal and external energy connections, and no internal energy can penetrate unless the energy is concentrated to make a hole in the shield. However, with the energy level of a battleship with a mechanical civilization, it is not easy, or even impossible to succeed. As long as the mother body is trapped, it will be easy to do, and when the time comes, you can directly destroy all the mechanical civilization warships in the shield.

Of course, the location of the main body of the mechanical civilization still needs Natalie's help to locate, in order not to expose Natalie, Chen Peilin issued a detector to the participating troops that can detect the position of the mother, in fact, it is just a receiver, during the war, Chen Peilin followed the fleet to act together, and when Natalie found the location of the main body, it would be good to send the information directly to their detector.

On February 12 of the first year of the ephemeris, the First Fleet, as the main force of the fleet, had completed its combat preparations, and the neat battle formations were docked far away next to the fleet. Behind the First Fleet is most of the warships of the Second and Third Fleets, followed by large engineering ships, these behemoths of more than 20 kilometers long have a wide and flat hull, like a large book magnified countless times, and the main production tasks of the fleet are completed on the engineering ships. The factories of the vast majority of the enterprises of the fleet are located on it. Some companies jointly own an engineering ship, while others own one or even several ships exclusively by one company. Roland's family owns two engineering ships. Of course, for the sake of these two engineering ships, the Rothschilds spent almost all the converted contribution points. Engineering ships are purely chicken ribs in battle, protected by layers of the fleet. But it played an important role in this operation. Originally, the large cross-sectional area of the engineering ship was a disadvantage, but this time it was well used. The outer sides of the armor of these engineering buildings are planted with the crystal seeds of biocrystals, which require a lot of energy to grow, and these engineering ships are simply the most efficient energy collectors used to absorb enemy fire. I believe that after the end of the war, a large number of crystal jungles will definitely grow on the engineering ships. The energy consumption during the next stage of the fleet's large-scale construction plan is bound to increase, and it is a good strategy to be able to fully charge the energy required for the next stage during the operation.

In order to prevent the fleet from being attacked by the enemy after the main fleet left, the entire fleet jumped far away from the range of activities of the mechanical civilization, and after confirming that there was no enemy situation around, the combat formations jumped away in batches. The fleet is divided into two groups, the second and third fleets plus the modified engineering fleet quickly advance in the direction of the theme from a place far away from the main body of mechanical civilization, not seeking to destroy a large number of enemies, as long as the fleet around the main body can be attracted as much as possible. The faster the fleet advances, the more firepower there is, the more combat forces around the main body will be mobilized, and the more successful the decapitation plan will be. When it is determined that the number of fleets around the subject is small to a certain extent, the first fleet will quickly jump to the front of the main body, and then open the energy shield as quickly as possible to block the space where the subject is located, and the first fleet will kill all mechanical civilization warships including the main body with the highest efficiency.

The containment formation composed of the 2nd and 3rd fleets headed towards the outer coordinates of the main body after Natalie sent the location information of the main body, and as the jump engine was turned on, the diversion formation disappeared around the fleet.
