At the same time that the battleships began to attack, eight large transports of the Planetary Defense Force appeared in the void of space, 10 AU around the binary star system of Zymz-1 and 2.

And in the next five minutes, a huge number of transport aircraft poured out of the hull.

With the indication information and the light screen appearing at the same time, the S26 transport plane that Ankang was riding and the transport plane carried by Ankang's accompanying troops were all ejected from the transport ship in just 30 seconds, and through the full light screen in the S26 cabin, they excitedly watched the whole group of the transport ship attack.

Dozens of transport planes were ejected from the launch trajectory at the same time, and then under the effect of the projectile system, they crossed a perfect arc and rushed to the direction directly opposite the bow of the ship without slowing down. Originally, the difference between them was only ten meters, and even Ankang could clearly see the distance of the logistics sticker on the transport plane next to him through the transparent porthole, but after the projectile, it has become a safe distance of more than 100 meters in length, and it continues to expand.

As the first unit to leave the transport ship, Ankang was able to see all the sorties of the troops on his transport ship.

At a distance of 10 AU, they were all completely invisible to ZYMZ-1, and even the light of the stars was not as bright as it had been felt when it had fallen on ZYMZ-2.

However, the light of the stars is also enough for Ankang to see very clearly that there is no hidden idea at all The transport ship and the aircraft group, the high speed provided by the catapult made the first batch of aircraft to quickly move away from the transportation group, almost in a few seconds, An Kang felt that the original behemoth transport ship was already a little less than the size of a palm in the light screen connected to the optical monitor screen.

However, as mentioned earlier, the abundance of stellar light and the transport's lack of stealth mode or even lights on make it easy for optics to keep capturing it.

Through the magnification function of the optical device, Ankang easily saw on the screen that more transport planes were bent out from both sides of the transport ship by artificial gravitational "slingshots".

The special use of anti-gravity systems and positions allows a considerable number of modern human ships to release carrier-based aircraft at any point on the hull, and basically do not have to worry about the passage of speed or the inability of internal cargo or personnel behind the hull structure to withstand the g-force as before.

The only drawback is that these devices are currently available in smaller versions but are not reliable enough, so they are usually only equipped on ships such as supercarriers and large military transports, while cruisers and battleships are not commonly equipped due to different tasks and requirements.

There was a slight frustration on the screen on the screen, and Ankang knew that this was the first slowdown of the S26 and the rest of the group after twelve seconds of ejection.

The speed of the transport ship's catapult transport aircraft and cargo compartment is different, and one consideration is that the entire aircraft group needs to form a formation. Instead of entering the battlefield one by one.

This is just like in the carrier-based aircraft formation of surface aircraft carriers in ancient times, the first carrier-based aircraft to take off even had to wait for more than ten minutes before finally completing the formation with the last carrier-based aircraft taking off before going to the battlefield.

It's just that when modern ships launch carrier-based aircraft that need to form formations, the time spent on aircraft formation is greatly reduced.

It was almost the first group of aircraft to decelerate and drive the entire group to slow down for the first time, and the last group of aircraft happened to join the formation directly.

Ankang can be seen in the projection of the simulation formed by the convergence of optical cameras and various detection information. The entire fleet is relatively scattered between single planes and single planes, so the space occupied by the entire fleet is dozens of times that of the original transport ship.

If a photographic drone were to shoot from a just right distance between the transport ship and the group, it might be possible to capture a beautiful picture--- a kind of stardust swarm suddenly "expanding" like the moment when a flower bud blooms.

It's just that the matter is not over so much, after the whole fleet is released, the radiation channels of the upper and lower cargo compartments of the transport ship open the final hatches. And after a short two-second self-test, it begins to enter the release procedure.

Ankang didn't know if there was anyone like him, but he always felt that his hair had a different kind of beauty. The only difference between the cargo bin launcher on a large transport ship and the vertical missile launch system on the UN Starfleet cruiser is that the system is simpler, since the cargo bay is ultimately ejected by gravity rather than the muzzle velocity provided by the ejection.

Even so, the cargo compartments with an initial velocity comparable to the main guns of ancient human surface ships were directly "flt" towards the transport aircraft group by the anti-gravity system and attitude control and traction after a short vertical flight.

Although the cargo compartment like a missile head was sent out from the two rows of cargo compartment launchers above and below the transport ship at the same time, and both of them flew vertically for one second, after one second, the cargo compartment, which was originally flying in a uniform manner or even "shoulder to shoulder", was directly divided into two parts, and was thrown towards the transport aircraft group from the left and right sides respectively. The same is true for the cargo compartments launched from the bottom row of launch systems.

Immediately after that, such a projectile lasted a whole minute. After the last projectile of the transport ship, the cargo storage group, which was larger than the entire transport group, kept up with the group of transport planes that had already slowed down twice but were still not slow, as planned.

"The projection of the cargo warehouse is complete, and the number of losses is 5. The ship jump is ready. “

The captain of this transport ship nodded lightly when he saw the projection on the screen in front of him, as well as the completion of the entire mission, and the loss was within an acceptable range. The loss is the cargo compartment that was not ejected, because of some system errors, so there may be some cargo compartment that is not captured by the projectile system. At the same time, because of this problem, there are still many military officers and technical experts who believe that there is still a need for an orbital launch transport ship, rather than this kind of equipment that may not be very reliable.

But it's true. In UN's fleet, there are still many transport ships that launch cargo compartments with electromagnetic orbits, just like space warships with electromagnetic main guns on the central axis in ancient science fiction works.

The captain's eyes swept to another light screen, and he saw that the transport group had completed the convergence with the cargo warehouse group.

"Good luck." He raised his hand and saluted in the direction of the group, the captain's words were not loud, and the drone commanders in the transport group could not see the image in the CICI. But it was still very clear in the quiet CIC and in the communication channels of the drone commanders. All the crews heard the same, as did the same group of transports, after all, their communications continued.

"The formation is complete, the jump is ready----- the jump begins."

The emotionless electronic sound sounded an automatic alert from the fleet's temporary coordination system, but it also meant that the Army's operations had officially begun.

When the words fell. The captain looked at the optical cameras and radar again, and the huge fleet had disappeared from the screen. Instead, among the hyperspace exploration equipment, the eight jump paths point directly to a planet.

"Captain, do you need to launch Grunville?" After a brief moment of silence, one of the second lieutenants in the CIC asked the captain, though he now had a subtle look on his face.

At the mention of this, the captain's face also felt a little subtle, but he still thought for a moment and nodded to the second lieutenant and said, "If our civil collaborator is okay, it's okay." Just let him be careful, it's better to follow behind our troops. “

"Yes, I'll let him know, uh, he's on the ...... of Goulanville" (To be continued.) )
