Chapter 876: Weighing the Pros and Cons
"This is just received. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" When Lin Feng walked over, he handed the portable light brain in his hand to Yang Yi.
When Yang Yi browsed the information he had just received, Lin Feng opened the star map and marked the route on it, as well as several pre-planned routes.
The news was sent by Yuyang from the Mo Heng Galaxy, and the reconnaissance detachments arranged by Shen Chengwen had completed their tasks and began to rotate according to the plan. That is, these reconnaissance detachments will be operating on the periphery of the Moheng system all the time, conducting uninterrupted surveillance in several major directions.
Arguably, this is a crucial step.
Only after this line of defense is completed can it be possible to convince the enemy that Yang Yi and the fast battleship they are on is part of this line of defense.
Of course, Yang Yi has never been in contact with Yuyang.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, he will only contact Yuyang in the event of an accident. In other words, Yuyang only needs to report the situation in the rear to Yang Yi regularly, and does not need to know the situation on Yang Yi's side. Of course, for Yuyang, no news is the best news.
After reading it, Yang Yi walked towards Lin Feng.
"These are a few routes that I have planned based on the information provided by the Expeditionary Force, the Weaver Legion, and the Silicon Charm Legion, you can take a closer look."
Yang Yi nodded slightly, he kept staring at the star map.
There are three routes. A direct point to where Yang Yi is going, and it is also the shortest route. One makes a detour, but still breaks through the Silicon Alliance's defenses head-on, and will penetrate deep into the central region of the North Alpha System. The last one is the longest, avoiding the Silicon Alliance's defenses and entering the central region of the North Alpha system from the north. In addition, several star systems are highlighted on all three routes.
After looking at it for a while, Yang Yi's brows were also locked together.
"This route is the most direct, but as you can see, it passes through five spatial nodes, and the situation of these five star systems is not very certain, and there is no guarantee that there will be no enemies stationed there, so there is no guarantee that there will be no encounters with enemies. Of course, this route is the shortest and takes the least amount of time. Although the ship is not fast enough and the jump distance is not far enough, if necessary, we can fly a space fighter to break through and maybe reach our destination before we are caught up by the enemy, but only maybe. Lin Feng sighed and said, "The risk is indeed very large, but the gain after the success of the adventure is also very large, at least it can save a lot of time." ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, but did not say anything.
"The route was a little farther away, but it still had to go through enemy lines, so I made a few detours to avoid the star systems that might have enemy garrisons and reduce the uncertainty. Of course, at the speed of this battleship, the delay will not be too much. Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "It's just that this route still has to pass through three spatial nodes with uncertain factors. At least with the information we have so far, we can't be sure that there are no enemies in these three star systems, but the probability of them being is slightly lower. To put it simply, if we're not lucky, we can still be exposed as we pass through these star systems. ”
"Obviously, we can't count on luck." When Yang Yi said this, he sighed.
"Then, you can only choose the farthest route." Lin Feng also sighed with a wry smile and said, "This route avoids all star systems where there are uncertainties, so it goes around in a big circle. While it is the safest, it also has the longest range and takes the most time. According to conservative estimates, even if you go as fast as possible, it will take about half a year to reach your destination. Although this route is the safest in the current situation, and with the appropriate measures taken, we can minimize the risk, no one can guarantee what will happen in half a year, let alone that the enemy will not adjust his defensive deployment during this period. Because we are far away from the area under our control, we will not be able to obtain definite information after going deep into the Northern Alpha system. ”
"In other words, it depends on luck."
Lin Feng nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
Yang Yi pondered for a while, but finally sighed. Obviously, he didn't know which route to take, or he couldn't make up his mind.
"Need my advice?"
Yang Yi was slightly stunned and nodded at Lin Feng.
"Obviously, there are risks in either route, and they are uncontrollable. Suffice it to say, what will happen next, we don't know, and we can't guess. It's just that we can't afford to let that stop us, and that's not your style. Lin Feng paused for a moment before saying, "Since the risk is uncontrollable, why don't we look at this problem from a different angle?" To put it simply, the more time we spend on the road, the more likely we are to encounter unexpected situations. Obviously, all we need to think about is finding a balance, one that reduces the risk to what we can afford and takes the least amount of time. While luck is ultimately a matter of luck, and you obviously don't want to rely on luck to decide the fate of all of us, we have no choice but to abandon this operation. Obviously, you will certainly not give up on this operation. ”
"You mean, we'll have to weigh the pros and cons?"
"That's right, that's what it means."
Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
"If you really can't make up your mind, you can actually ......"
"Obviously, it's not just a problem we're in."
Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi in puzzlement, she obviously didn't keep up with Yang Yi's thinking speed.
"Now, the Phantom Ghost Emperor is also weighing the pros and cons." Yang Yi smiled faintly, and then said, "She knows that I am back, and she also knows that my strength is far above her." After that previous fiasco, she will definitely weigh in again. To put it simply, it is to wear down with us, or to launch a large-scale attack as soon as possible. If she wears it down, she may not be able to win, maybe she will just be able to live a little longer. Playing us as soon as possible is also a gamble of luck, and the probability of winning is also not very high. What do you think she will choose? ”
"This ......"
In other words, what is the best choice? Obviously, there is no ideal option, so she will definitely prepare for both. ”
"What do you mean?"
"If it can be dragged down, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will definitely choose to drag it down. Quite simply, we are fighting on our backs, and even if we have the support of the Dragon Empress, we are not the masters of the Northern Alpha System. It may not be long before we come into conflict with the silicon-enchanted populations ruled by the Dragon Empress. In fact, because there are not enough resources, conflicts will inevitably occur, and sooner or later they will happen. Obviously, as long as the current front can be maintained, then the advantage is in the hands of the Phantom Ghost Emperor, and we will definitely use up our resources first. The problem is, we certainly won't wait until that day to attack, so the Phantom Emperor will be ready to fight us as well. ”
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "It's just that she won't take the initiative, but will wait for us to launch." ”
"That's right, but she's definitely going to be fully prepared, such as forming enough Silicon Legions and mobilizing enough Silicon Battleships. More importantly, she will keep a close eye on our every move, monitor the reconnaissance detachment we have sent out, and gather information related to us. To put it simply, if a decisive battle is inevitable, even if she does not take the initiative to provoke the end of the battle, she will seize the initiative on the battlefield by taking the initiative to attack when necessary. ”
"That is, she will attack when necessary."
"So, the question is, under what circumstances will she attack?"
"Does this have anything to do with our operation?"
Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "There is no direct relationship, but there is an indirect relationship." That is, no matter how stealthy our actions are, they must be under the surveillance of the Silicon Alliance, but we don't know it. What's more, the Phantom Ghost Emperor obviously didn't know that we were on this battleship, nor did he know where this battleship was going, but instead used this battleship as a patrol ship wandering around the perimeter. ”
"That's what we're trying to achieve."
"The question is, will we be able to take this battleship and reach our destination without being discovered by the Phantom Ghost Emperor?"
"This ......"
"Obviously, this is absolutely impossible. To put it bluntly, as soon as we break through the enemy's defenses, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will know that we are on this battleship. ”
"Are you going to give up?"
Yang Yi shook his head slightly and said, "You said that I have to weigh the pros and cons, and my decision is to let this battleship attract the attention of the Phantom Ghost Emperor and buy us enough time." ”
"This ......"
"We're going on the third route, but it's just this battleship. When you reach the next space jump node, have all officers and men take adequate supplies and leave the ship. ”
"Space fighters alone?"
Yang Yi nodded and said, "It will take more time, but it will definitely be more hidden." ”
"The problem is that the other officers and soldiers have just ordinary space fighters, and the space jump distance is very short, most of them are only a hundred light-years at most, and it takes a lot of time to replenish the original energy after each jump. What's more, not only will we not be able to avoid those star systems that are uncertain, but we will also have to pass through more star systems, which will make us more likely to encounter enemies and be discovered. ”
"If it's just a space fighter, it does."
"Is it ......?"
"And the two of us."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi in surprise.
"We took turns to explore the way ahead, and after determining the situation of the jump junction ahead, we let the officers and soldiers follow up. The royal fighter we fly can complete space jumps outside the star system, so we can avoid the enemies inside the star system, and the probability of being detected can be controlled. ”
"This ......"
"Of course, we have to be fully prepared for the unexpected that may arise, and at least we have to get the officers and soldiers to withdraw when we are in trouble. After setting the course for your battleship, you'll have to contact Yuyang, arrange the pick-up work, and wait for our news. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lin Feng is not wordy, and she is not the kind of person who likes to be wordy. (To be continued.) )
