Three days later, somewhere in the universe near Jupiter.

A fleet painted black with the logo of the Earth Federation's Fifth Fleet of the Universe Force on its hull was silently heading in the direction of Jupiter.

This is a detachment of the Federation's Space Force, which is composed of a [Zeus]-class space aircraft carrier currently in service with the Earth Federation as the core of the battle, with more than 20 space warships of various types, and is subordinate to the Federation Space Force.

The 16th Detachment of the Fifth Fleet.

The [Zeus]-class space carrier that was surrounded by other warships in the center of the formation was the flagship of this detachment, the Frost Giant.

Inside the bridge of the Frost Giant, the supreme commander of the detachment, Rear Admiral Caronado, a fifty-one-year-old Federal Rear Admiral, was looking at the main screen of the bridge in front of him with a gloomy face.

Caronado's tall, unsmiling nature, and ruthless command style earned him the nickname of the Frost Giant, the flagship of the Sixteenth Fleet.

The Frost Giant on the Frost Giant, the Frost Giant of the Sixteenth Detachment of the Fifth Fleet, this is what his subordinates secretly call him.

At this moment, the frost giant was obviously in a very bad mood, and what made him feel bad were the two friendly warships that had just merged into his detachment some time ago, that is, the two battleships that were incompatible with the 16th Fleet in terms of paint color and appearance displayed on the main screen at this time.

Those were two warships belonging to the Fourth Fleet of the Federal Space Force.

Among the battleships of the Sixteenth Squadron in black paint, these two silver-white painted battleships were so dazzling.

At least in Caronado's opinion, that's the case.

"The Fourth Fleet, that old guy Aksei, is still so unwilling to be lonely!"

Caronado squinted at the two battleships on the screen, and the more he looked at it, the more annoying it became.

He didn't quite understand why the War Department would suddenly let the Fourth Fleet join the operation, in Caronado's opinion, the Fourth Fleet may have been glorious, or it may have had a strong fighting force that did not match its fleet positioning, but after so many years. Because of such and such reasons within the Federation, the current Fourth Fleet of the Federation Space Force is no longer the mighty Fourth Fleet of the past.

The current Fourth Fleet is a ragtag fleet!

Even. To describe this fleet as a ragtag fleet is a bit of an exaltation of them, and in the eyes of some of the more extreme people, such as Caronado, who has the nickname of the Frost Giant, the current Fourth Fleet is almost the same as a rabble.

Perhaps the Fourth Fleet is an excellent research department. But from the point of view of the fleet, they are a rabble!

Because they don't even have a decent commander!

Vice Admiral Akseei, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, was a technical vice admiral, and Caronado did not think that this vice admiral with a research background would be a qualified fleet commander.

From Vice Admiral Aksee onwards, the top echelons of the Fourth Fleet are either technical officers like Vice Admiral Aksee, or the so-called elites of the Fourth Fleet who have been kicked into the Fourth Fleet by the major fleets in one way or another.

What's more, the problem of the Fourth Fleet is not only that it does not have a decent commander, but that the biggest problem of the Fourth Fleet is the allocation of warships.

It's a very ironic thing. Over the years, the Fourth Fleet has developed many new warships, including the [Zeus]-class space carrier, which is the main warship in service adopted by the federal military, but those who grow melons may not have melons to eat, and those who design wedding dresses may not be able to wear wedding dresses for the rest of their lives.

Everyone knows what the Fourth Fleet is like now - the obsolete antiques and second-hand goods that have been eliminated by other fleets, and the failed works that have failed to pass the military acceptance - this is what makes up the ships of the Fourth Fleet.

Caronado couldn't imagine how much combat power a fleet without even decent warships could have, and he even doubted that the Fourth Fleet would have combat effectiveness.

Count on the combat power of obsolete antique battleships and failed prototype battleships on the battlefield? What's the difference between that and suicide?

Because of this, Caronado still couldn't accept the decision of the military department to let the Fourth Fleet join the operation, let alone it. The order of the military headquarters clearly stated that the Fourth Fleet was responsible for the first wave of the offensive, and if the Fourth Fleet could not do so, his Sixteenth Fleet could only attack.

It's just inexplicable!

Caronado couldn't figure out what such an order meant. Do you want to make a big fool of the Fourth Fleet?

He questioned it, and then the answer given by the military department surprised him.

It turned out to be a test!

It turned out to be to test artificial intelligence!

It turned out to be to test the combat effectiveness of an unmanned warship controlled by artificial intelligence in actual combat!

Caronado was so angry that he secretly scolded the military bigwigs who made this decision in his heart.

Artificial intelligence? The combat effectiveness of artificial intelligence?

Does this kind of thing still need to be tested?

Just look at the combat robots that the Federation Army is equipped with today to know the answer - these stupid iron bumps are completely useless without human command, except for a ferocious firepower. Because as soon as they encounter a complicated battle situation, they are immediately at a loss for what to do!

The artificial intelligence developed by those guys in the Fourth Fleet is even a problem with the control of combat robots, and now they are even planning to use artificial intelligence to control a large and complex warship?

Are they stupid or crazy?

Not to mention, the so-called unmanned warship named Clymene has become a big joke in the military a few years ago!

Caronado didn't know how the old guy Akei said that the bigwigs who moved the military department and then won this opportunity, but it was precisely because he couldn't understand it that he was even more angry.

The more angry he became, the more he looked at the two battleships on the screen, especially the huge battleship next to the Clymene that was even larger than the Frost Giant space aircraft carrier, and was quite noisy.

The flagship of the Fourth Fleet, Vice Admiral Aksee's special car, a representative work of giant ship cannon doctrine in the history of Federation warship manufacturing, an old antique known as the living fossil of the First Star War, and a [Titan]-class super giant battleship that once represented the infinite glory of the Federation, the Angel of Death.

"I actually came with me in person, Aksei, this old guy, did you think that you didn't lose enough face last time? I'd like to see how dismal you plan to end this time! ”

With this in mind, Caronado looked at the Clymene, which looked a little petite because of the Angel of Death's shirt.

"Artificial intelligence? Unmanned warships? Phew! ”
