Chapter 549: Probe
Chapter 549: Exploration
In the dim starry sky, the reconnaissance fleet shrunk into a defensive formation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the periphery of the fleet, groups of carrier-based aircraft formed around the fleet, constantly shuttling around, alerting against possible dangers around. All of the battleship's guns emitted a green glow, and from a distance they looked like fireflies in late autumn, which were the energy pools that escaped from the muzzles of the energy cannons in a charged state.
At this time, if the fleet suddenly appears, it will definitely suffer from the firepower of the entire reconnaissance fleet. The current reconnaissance fleet is like a hedgehog shrunk into a ball, always on high alert to the outside world. In the temporary flagship battleship George, all the personnel except for the shipboard troops were busy, and a large number of disposable probes were created, which were then sprinkled around the entire galaxy by the reconnaissance ship, and the number of probes increased exponentially every hour. So far, the swarm of detectors has roughly covered the entire space around the galaxy.
......The alarm sounded suddenly, and everyone reflexively looked at the holographic projection inside the ship, which would broadcast the enemy situation as soon as possible.
"It's the half-dimensional battleship Voyager, which has just jumped out of the wormhole and is now approaching us, and is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes" The shipborne probe group finally worked normally, but unfortunately, it was his own people who found it. In the depths of the starry sky, a battleship with a pitch-black body quickly approached the fleet, and if it hadn't detected the slight spatial fluctuations caused by the propulsion engine at the tail of the spacecraft, it would not even be able to find the trajectory of the battleship.
"Snort...... Now it's up to me to take over the command! The holographic projection flickered, and Eugene's figure appeared, immediately taking over control of the entire reconnaissance fleet.
"Why don't we bring the whole fleet over, wouldn't it reduce our combat capability if we were separated like this?" Jing cautiously hid behind Yan Huijun and asked Cheng Mingli questions.
"The new fleet has not yet been reorganized, and there are no resource systems nearby. And if one half-dimensional warship is not used, it will be blind to come to two" Cheng Mingli shrugged, and then found a place to sit down.
"We're back in the fleet?" Yan Huijun pulled Cheng Mingli's sleeve and whispered.
"Stay here, just let Yun go back to command, and you can coordinate the battle in time here. Many orders are forwarded from your hands and executed much more smoothly than they are issued directly from us," Cheng Mingli dismissed Yan Huijun's proposal. In fact, it is true that not all Dyson people have a good impression of the advance fleet, and a large part of the Dyson people are very resistant to the command of the advance fleet. At least the Turta organization is not very peaceful, if it weren't for the fact that the advance fleet traveled all the way to the barren area of the galaxy where there was no place to go to the village and no store, I'm afraid Turta would have organized the Dyson people to defect long ago.
The moment the battleship Voyager arrived at the reconnaissance formation, it turned on the shipboard probe to scan the targets in front of it. The weakened version of the dimensional probe carried on the half-dimensional battleship carefully swept the outer layers of the target galaxy, and then the results of the reconnaissance were transmitted to Eugene.
"It's not easy to do," was Eugene's conclusion at the moment he saw the results of the probe. There are layers of netted defensive bands around the target galaxy, about a light-year thick, but much denser than previously detected. The Recon Fleet only explored the thin strips at the edge of the galaxy, and even then, the damage to the defense network was not enough for the Recon Fleet to withstand. What's more, the further you push inward, the denser the defense network becomes, and the more powerful the destruction is beyond imagination.
Another thing that worries Eugene is that the probe's detection range does not cover the entire galaxy. It stands to reason that a satellite galaxy with a diameter of less than 2,000 light-years is completely within the range of a half-dimensional warship, but in the end, it only detected a distance of less than two light-years from the edge, and the situation inside is completely blank.
"Shall we dock here and wait for the main fleet to converge before making plans?" Biluo makes a suggestion. After all, this is the most feasible option at the moment. Most of the main forces of the advance fleet, except for the two half-dimensional warships, are at the level of level six, and they can't even defend against space strikes, and if they suffer a space attack inside, the result will be a massacre.
"But what about half a month later, if we don't even try once, will they say that we are too incompetent?" Eugene asked distressedly. Now he is not a big soldier, and the future of the officers and men of the entire advance fleet is at stake, even if he knows the danger, he must fight. Cowardly servicemen will not be taken seriously wherever they are.
"Can you temporarily transform a corvette with a space shield, or launch it to test the destructive power of the defense network on the space shield?" Bi Xiao asked.
"Can we make a space shield?" Eugene asked a little strangely.
"No, but there are some spare parts in stock in the battleship warehouse, which are used to replace the half-dimensional battleship shield generator. Take it out and install it on the corvette, add a few hedron reactors, and if you burn amethyst, you can maintain the shield fully open for about half an hour. The sixth-level hedron reactor can't withstand the energy impact of amethyst for a long time, and if it is overloaded, it will explode," Bi Xiao said after a calculation.
"Then give it a try, the shield generator and the other will naturally be replenished after the main fleet converges" Eugene quickly agreed to the detection plan.
The corvettes use A-type ships, and the advance fleet of B-type ships does not have the technical strength to transform them, so they can only target the A-type ships that are easy to modify. These Type A ships are in the inventory of half-dimensional warships, there are less than ten of them, and they were made by Ming Cang's previous attempt to copy the teleportation gate technology of the Cone people, and the length of the ships is about 500 to 1,000 meters, and they have no combat value, mainly for research purposes. Now that the space shield is installed, it can barely have the defensive power of a Tier 7 battleship.
The progress of the battleship transformation was fast, and after the modification plan was determined, with a large number of industrial robots added, the light destroyer with the redundant hedron reactor and shield generator was freshly baked two hours later. The silver-white slender hull and single-deck design have a strong Dyson pedigree.
The battleship was controlled by a semi-intelligent assistant program, and after leaving the starport, it adjusted its course and flew towards the target star field. Thirty minutes later, the destroyer arrived at its destination, and then the space shield on the battleship was activated, and a layer of misty lilac halo appeared on the surface of the battleship, which was the energy dissipation emitted by the shield generator, and the sixth-level hull carried the seventh-level space shield, even if it was hard-connected, the energy dissipation could not be completely avoided.
The shielded battleship began to move forward slowly, and soon reached the danger zone. The shield flashed violently in an instant, and real-time monitoring revealed that the energy consumption inside the battleship had risen sharply, and soon the reactor was overloaded and forced to shut down under the control of the protection program.
"Boom!" In just five minutes, as the six reactors were overloaded and extinguished, the space shield was decharged, and the shield collapsed, and the light destroyer exploded into a cloud of regular fragments with smooth cuts in a blinding flash, just like the destroyer that had been destroyed by the previous attack.
“……”
"According to the strength of the space shield installed on the frigate, even the battleship-level space protection can only withstand two hours in such an environment, and then either the battleship's energy is exhausted or the reactor and shield generator are overloaded, and in general, even the seventh-level fleet can't rush in" Biluo gave his own calculation answer.
"Try it with dimensional jumps?" Eugene said with some reluctance.
"Half-dimensional warships are very precious things to the Golden Crow fleet, and it would be a big accident to destroy them. Moreover, the Voyager is loaded with a large number of Dyson civilians, and in the event of an accident, there will be countless people buried with them! Bixiao had to remind Eugene of the serious consequences that could arise from doing so.
"Alas! If you can't do it, send the details to the Golden Crow fleet, the advance fleet really doesn't have the ability to enter the target system."
…………
At the edge of the massive galaxy, two fleets face each other at a distance of more than a billion kilometers. On one side of the confrontation was the Golden Crow Formation guarded by twenty willow leaf fleets, and on the other side was an even larger fifth-level civilization fleet. The number of other fleets currently appearing at the confrontation site has reached 200, and a large number of fleets are constantly converging through the Star Gate.
These ring-shaped battleships are very distinctive, with a ring like a swimming ring at the edge and a ball with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in the center. The ring and the ball are connected by an inherent metal channel. There is also a small ring near the equator of the ball, and the ball in the center rotates constantly with the help of the small ring, and the whole ship does not look like a battleship, but rather a migrant ship.
The discovery of this civilization can be said to be completely accidental, half a month ago, the Golden Crow fleet completed the formation and left the galaxy at that time. In order to approach the ****** of deep space, the formation changed course and began to sail towards the star field where the interstellar highway exists. In the process of approaching the dense belt of galaxies, the reconnaissance ship discovered a strange phenomenon, in one of the galaxies, the star-making movement is very active, and almost every once in a while, it is able to see a dozen or even dozens of supernovae appear. What's even more strange is that these supernovae are not evenly distributed throughout the galaxy, but are concentrated in a certain field of the galaxy, as if a cosmic catastrophe had occurred in that region.
The Golden Crow fleet temporarily decided to change course and go to investigate. A large number of supernova explosions means an abundance of energy hedrons as well as heavy metal resources. At the moment before the supernova explosion, the energy of the star begins to compress violently inward, and the ionic state of the star's atmosphere carries the huge energy generated by fusion, and under the pressure of almost infinity, it begins to react with the megametamorphic elements to form a stable energy crystal.
At the same time, a large number of metallic elements produced by fusion undergo fusion in the core of the star, producing heavy elements with a larger atomic weight. If the star is large enough, it will even produce quark-like material at the moment when the supernova collapses to its limit. However, this material is not stable enough, and after the supernova explodes, it will spontaneously disintegrate, forming precious metal elements that can be stably formed.
These energy crystals and precious metal elements are indispensable for the Golden Crow fleet, especially the latter. If it's just a small number of supernova explosions, it doesn't matter, and the Golden Crow fleet doesn't lack that bit of resources. But the appearance of supernova on such a large scale is a surprise. A large number of supernovae are relatively concentrated in one area, so there will even be a large number of spars here, even for the sake of these spars The Golden Crow fleet has to go through.
The wormhole opening of the Golden Crow fleet appears near a star system at the edge of the galaxy. Not long ago, the reconnaissance ship discovered that a supernova explosion occurred six .2 light-years away from the target star system, and the opening of the wormhole was set here to avoid the aftermath of the supernova explosion affecting the stability of the wormhole, and on the other hand, it was relatively close to the place of the explosion, so that resources could be quickly collected.
However, what I never expected was that the first moment the Golden Crow fleet appeared, it encountered a vigilant fleet, and what was even more incredible was that the escort formation of the Golden Crow fleet had not yet been deployed, and the opposing team's endless fleet flew out of the star system in front. And the other party's attitude is very bad, and there is a posture of never dying. With the fleet of the fifth-level civilization and the obviously sixth-level civilization of the Golden Crow fleet, is the other party fearless or has a lack of strings in his head???
