Chapter 326: Hunting

Prik 3 is the third star in the Valley of Tranquility cluster, and is a young star at the bottom of the Valley of Tranquility on the chart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are no living planets in the Prik 3 star system, and in fact there are no living planets in the entire Tranquility Valley star cluster. The Eltas people, who have just migrated for more than 200 years, are working on the modification of the planet of life, altering the planet's environment for population migration by releasing greenhouse gases into the gravity-stable planet.

However, the project has only just begun, less than 200 years ago, and it will take at least 500 years for it to bear fruit. The current Tranquility Valley Star Cluster exists more as a resource star field, and what appears in the Tranquility Valley is more of the resource exploration fleets of various giant enterprises and the official resource exploration fleets of the Good Alliance, as well as the mixed fleet of the Alliance Army that regularly patrols to fight against star thieves, and ordinary civilians will not come here at all.

Since the appearance of Celiath, Prik 3 has rarely visited even pirates and resource exploration fleets, and only adventure groups that ask for money and life will come here to hunt Celiath larvae, but most of them have never returned.

As the first Prik 3 to appear in the figure of Celias, the number and danger of Celas undoubtedly occupy the most prominent position in the entire Valley of Tranquility, this place is simply a dead place, and even the mixed army of the Alliance Army does not dare to come here.

"Boom! ......" The jump window opened, and the Starry Sky Cowboy emerged from the jump window, carefully approaching the inner perimeter of the star system from the edge of the Prik 3 galaxy.

In front of the spacecraft, a large number of unmanned probes and even more low-level probes are swarming to the inner perimeter of the Prik 3 star system, which will serve as the eyes and tentacles of the Star Cowboy to collect information about the Prik 3 star system in advance and provide support for the next move of the Star Cowboy.

In the bridge command room, Malcolm sits quietly on the sidelines, and he will serve as a special guide for the operation, providing intelligence support for the Cowboy Squad's hunting operations. After all, he was a native of the land, and Malcolm had no experience that the Cowboy Squad people had.

"Celeriath's fatal part is at its flower stalk, and in most cases, it is hidden behind the thick petals, and there is no way to start it. But there is one exception, and that is when Silas is eating. Sillias feeds on mineral asteroids, and mature bodies are even able to swallow asteroids hundreds of kilometers in diameter at a time.

When Cylias devours an asteroid, the petals wrap around the asteroid, revealing the stalk hidden behind the petals. This is our chance, we have to kill us with one blow, or Celas will react and throw away the food to attack us.

Compared to asteroids, the armor alloy of the battleship seems to be more to Siliath's taste, and we have to be careful," Malcolm pointed out Siliath's weak point to the holographic projection in front of him.

"Probe 7 found the target, Probe 89 found the target, Probe 1013 found the target, Probe 507 found the target......" As the probe moved away, more and more Cillas appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In the blink of an eye, the red dots on the star map representing Celeas were densely connected, and Prik 3 was completely reduced to Celerias' lair.

"Where is the biggest goal?" Zhou Bocai looked at Qin Na and asked.

"The surface of the Prik 3 star, with an unfolded area of 26,517 kilometers, has a high-energy reaction in the body, and the predicted energy level is between the S and SS levels," Qin Na reported.

"Can we get our hands on this Cillas?" Zhou Bocai asked tentatively.

"It's no problem to deal with a few Celis with our firepower, but there are too many Celas in the star system, and if we are discovered, we may be besieged by the Celiath group, and it will be very difficult to defend at that time.

At present, the number of Cillas detected is between five thousand and five hundred to six thousand, which is equivalent to the size of three integrated fleets, although not all of its firepower is S-class main guns, but so much firepower is covered on the Starry Sky Cowboy at the same time, and we will be directly destroyed in an instant" Qin Na regretfully reported the situation.

"Find a mature body close to the edge of the galaxy, preferably larger" After finding that the goal could not be achieved, Zhou Bo retreated and began to change the goal.

"Giant Planet Seven is the closest to us. There is a mature Cillas in the asteroid belt that makes up the rings of giant star seven, and it is now eating, and we have the highest success rate of attacking it.

However, in order to attack the Celestian Mature, where Giant Planet 7 is located, we must destroy more than 200 Celestian individuals along the way. All of these are A-level energy levels, and more of the Celeas juveniles have been overlooked," Qinna analyzed.

"Two hundred? It's not too difficult, as long as the timing is right, it's completely doable. Catapult out 2,000 unmanned attack aircraft, 10 for every 10 of them, stealthily approach, attack at the same time, and remove these obstacles as quickly as possible. The mothership is directly aimed at the mature body near the seventh giant planet, and it will be quickly resolved, and once it is successful, it will immediately retreat" Wang Yang, who is in charge of the distribution of firepower of the Starry Sky Cowboy, came up with a plan for the enemy after a little calculation.

The airborne energy cannon of the unmanned attack aircraft is equipped with S-class small airborne energy cannons, and there should not be many problems against these immature Silias. If you really can't do it, you can load the SS-class spar bomb inside the unmanned attack aircraft, and you can't kill it and blow it up.

As for the mature body near Giant Planet Seven, as long as the Starry Sky Cowboy's main cannon can hit it, it can be solved with one shot. If it weren't for the fear of being besieged by Cillas, even the Cillas Mature, which was clinging to the surface of the Prik 3, would probably not be able to withstand a few rounds of fire from the Starry Sky Cowboy's main gun.

Giant Planet Seven is nearly 7 billion kilometers away from the Starry Sky Cowboy, which is about six light-hours away, and the best range of the Starry Sky Cowboy's main gun is about 1.7 light-hours. In order to achieve the goal of hitting with one hit, the Starry Sky Cowboy must carefully move forward, and then take the time to release the cold cannon and strive to solve it with one shot.

It's like hunting in the forest with a bow and arrow in the age of Earth, but the surrounding environment is no longer a forest, but countless asteroids hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away. The weapons used are no longer primitive weapons with a range of tens of meters like bows and arrows, but energy main cannons that reach two light distances.

"Whoosh ......" 2,000 unmanned attack planes quietly ejected from the Starry Sky Cowboy on the outer edge of the galaxy, concealed their bodies under the effect of temporarily installed optical camouflage, and flew to Sillias, which had already completed its positioning, using the small warp engine on board.

At the same time, the optical stealth system on the Starry Sky Cowboy also began to be activated, and the hundred-kilometer-long giant ship disappeared in just one minute. Optical stealth can only fool an enemy who can observe the target through optical reconnaissance instruments, and no one knows whether it will work for Silias.

Twenty-five hours later, the Starry Sky Cowboy, which had been flying by inertia, slowly arrived at the attack target, and under the control of Qin Na, the unmanned attack aircraft that had departed in advance also approached their prey. Judging from the information obtained so far, there was no special reaction from the Silas group, and the first stage of the hunt was a complete success.

"The main gun was charged, the unmanned attack aircraft was synchronized and coordinated, and the target was successfully locked...... Attack countdown 10, 9, 8,...... 3,2,1 fire!! ”

"Whoosh!" The hull of the Starry Sky Cowboy shook slightly, and a dark blue beam of energy instantly crossed the long distance, attacking the target almost at the same time as the attack. Although the best effective range of the energy cannon is only a few light hours, once it is locked, it is a faster-than-light attack, and the attack within the range is almost instantaneous, and the target has no room to dodge.

"Boom!" A violent energy explosion erupted, and the star rings revolving around Giant Planet Seven immediately became choppy and tumbling, and countless icy asteroids were vaporized and evaporated in an instant, and then decomposed into the most primitive hydrogen and oxygen atoms by the violent energy. Celestia, who was eating in the ring, was immediately pierced by the intense energy cannon, and even the asteroid in his stomach was directly vaporized.

"Hurry, hurry! Fly over and salvage your prey. Command the unmanned attack planes to attack vigorously, there is no need to destroy them, just let those Sirias have no time to take care of our side. Hurry up and get moving! ......" The attack had just been completed, and Zhou Bo urged desperately.

The Starry Sky Cowboy could no longer care about stealth, the engine was running at full speed, coupled with the power of the warp engine, it flew over a distance of 1.7 light hours in just over a minute, and the thick steel cable flew out of the No. 1 starport that had been prepared for a long time, far penetrating the still twitching Siliath, and immediately started the engine and fled to the periphery of the galaxy without dragging it back to the starport.

"The unmanned attack aircraft has not been recovered yet!" Wang Cannon reminded loudly on the side.

"It's just a pile of broken copper and iron, don't want it. Qin Na, order the unmanned attack aircraft to give me a deadly attack, and it will explode directly when the energy runs out! Let's evacuate quickly" At the critical moment, Zhou Bo, who regarded wealth as his life, decisively issued the order to retreat.

"Captain, a large fortress cannon has been detected attacking the ship, and it will arrive in ten seconds!" Qin Na's urgent alarm sounded, and this was the first time that Qin Na had raised the alarm with such an urgent voice after the Battle of Peach Blossom Spring.

"Fly above the ecliptic plane, warp engine, quick! ……”

"Boom!" A violent explosion of energy stirred up a blue light in the sky, completely illuminating the entire orbit of the giant planet. After the terrifying energy beam penetrated a 1,500-kilometer-diameter moon of Giant Planet 7, the energy beam beam rushed directly into the atmosphere of the giant planet without stopping, and it didn't take long for it to drill out from the other side of the giant planet.

"Boom!" The entire giant planet exploded violently, and the terrifying energy cannon directly penetrated the liquid core of the giant planet, and even the most core metal core was destroyed by more than half. The thick clouds directly became turbulent, and the entire giant planet seven rolled violently.

"Huhuhu! It's so dangerous, I almost confessed there" Starry Sky Cowboy Bridge Command Center, the members of the cowboy team who narrowly escaped their lives slumped in their seats and rejoiced.

"Bastard, is this an S-class energy cannon? This is the SS-class fortress main gun, a single cannon can knock out half of the horror things of the integrated fleet, and it is only equipped on a few military fortress generation ships in the fleet. Fortunately, Giant Planet 7 is on the periphery of the galaxy, and the distance is too far, otherwise we would have been burned into ions before we even had time to react," Zhou Bocai said in a cold sweat while suppressing his pounding heart.

"I didn't expect that Sillias attack to be so perverted before I attacked," China was aggrieved.

"Forget it, hurry back, this matter is a big deal, such a terrifying thing is definitely not a natural life, you have to send it back to the main formation quickly." Maybe we've found something amazing," Ding Weijian, the deputy captain, stood up and suggested that the spacecraft immediately return to the main formation.

"What about these people?" China gestured to the crew of the Tranquility on the holographic projection.

"Let's take it back together, maybe the formation official still needs to ask for information, it's a big deal to send it back when the time comes......"
