Lin Xiaoting was only responsible for arranging for the battleship to provide cover, and as for how Yang Yi used this operation, he didn't ask, and Yang Yi didn't explain much. It's not that I can't believe Lin Xiaoting, but there is no need for this. Besides, if someone settles accounts after the autumn, Lin Xiaoting can still shirk responsibility with "not knowing". Although all the troops used are the troops of the Third Theater, the military headquarters is the boss, and the nine theaters have to obey the command and dispatch of the military headquarters. You must know that the warships and corps of the nine theaters all belong to the Federation, and they all serve the Federation during wartime, at least in legal terms, and the theater command has no right to transfer troops without authorization, let alone arrange combat missions for troops without authorization.

Although most of these regulations are a dead letter and have never really been enforced, after all, the commanders of the nine theaters are all important members of the military department and can directly issue orders to the combat units, but the regulations are written in black and white, and if someone comes up to talk about things, even if Zhan Ruilin comes forward, he may not be able to settle it. Lin Xiaoting is only responsible for arranging the breakout operation, which has nothing to do with Yang Yi's actions, and it will be easy to shirk it when the time comes.

When all was in order, the operation proceeded as planned.

It was originally a secret operation, so Yang Yi and the others did not make a big noise. When the small warships arranged by Lin Xiaoting set off one after another, the "Xinghai", disguised as a reconnaissance ship, also left the spaceport of the Third Theater Command and flew towards the outside of the home galaxy with the large force.

It's been a long journey.

Although in peacetime, a small warship can leave the home system with only one space jump, but in wartime, performing a space jump directly will cause significant spatial fluctuations, and all jump routes are cut off by the enemy, so the risk of jumping is too great.

To be on the safe side, all warships were able to sail to the outskirts of their home system, near the orbit of the outermost planet of Acarus. The space jump route will be decided according to the actual situation. It's just that for most warships, it takes a lot of time to collect and obtain the necessary parameters for space jumping, especially coordinates, before they can safely make space jumps.

Obviously, this is a ghost gate.

Except for the need for a lot of delay, no matter what means are used. Even if it is a passive detection device, as long as it collects and obtains space parameters, it will inevitably interfere with space, and the battleship itself is a source of interference, which will have an impact on the surrounding space, and can also be discovered by the enemy.

Prior to this, almost all warships that tried to break through were intercepted at this time.

Obviously, this time is no exception.

Although he hoped that all the warships would break through smoothly, Yang Yi knew very well that the more than 100 small warships sent by Lin Xiaoting would probably be wiped out.

Merely. Sentimentality is also useless.

Two days later, the "Star Sea" reached the orbit of the star Acarius.

This is a giant planet, and the outermost planet of the home system. Despite its size, it is of little value to the Human Federation. The point is that this is a solitary planet with no moons, while the giant planet is made of liquid hydrogen and cannot establish a base on its surface. Although for a lot of ships that sail far away. Hydrogen is an important resource, i.e. water can be synthesized with oxygen. Water is the most critical material for voyages, but the most indispensable element in the universe is hydrogen, and oxygen is not scarce on many planets. When they first arrived in their home system, the Human Federation built a factory near Acarius to extract hydrogen for the long-distance ships. It's a pity that after the full popularization of the original energy equipment. The space factory that orbits around the planet Acarius loses its value. Although the Human Federation once intended to build a military base based on the ruins of the factory, it was never implemented. The main thing is that the cost of building a military base here is too great, and just transporting all kinds of materials and equipment is a huge expense.

For thousands of years, the planet was rarely disturbed.

The last time a human warship came here. It was still a thousand years ago, that is, during the attack and defense of the Lighthouse Star, Xiao Wentian once led a fleet to fight the Silicon Charm Fleet here, and won a decisive victory, forcing the Silicon Alliance to attack the Beacon Star before entering the home galaxy, which opened the prelude to the attack and defense of the Beacon Star. For more than a thousand years after that, no warships of the Human Federation appeared near Acarius.

It sailed to a distance of about 100,000 kilometers from Acarius before the "Star Sea" entered its orbit.

Although Acarius has little value, as a giant planet, it has a very serious disturbance to the surrounding space and plays an excellent role as a cover.

Next, it's still a matter of waiting.

Although Yang Yi asked Alun to control the speed of the "Star Sea" and arrive at the same time as the other warships, the other warships needed time to determine the space parameters.

Of course, for the "Star Sea", this is not a problem at all.

As the most advanced warship of the Weaver Clan, the "Star Sea" is equipped with a set of extremely advanced space jumping devices, which can carry out space jumps without restrictions, and can determine its own space parameters. When he came to the vicinity of Acarius, Yang Yi asked Alun to prepare for a space jump. Although according to the plan, the "Star Sea" will perform space jumps with other warships, at least until the other warships have determined the space parameters and can perform space jumps, but as long as necessary, the "Star Ocean" can make space jumps at any time and leave the home galaxy, that is, break through the encirclement set up by the Silicon Charm Alliance outside the home galaxy.

For Yang Yi, the waiting time passed slowly.

By the time the patrol ship appeared, the "Star Sea" had been in the vicinity of Acarius for about ten hours.

Hearing the alarm, Shen Chengwen and Otis both rushed over.

Unlike Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Otis did not waste any time, to be precise, both of them were using their precious time to improve their abilities. According to Shen Chengwen's arrangement, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team participating in this operation were divided into groups of five to conduct combat training with the female warriors arranged by Otis to find the correct way to fight with the strong. Of course, female warriors such as Otis can also learn a lot of practical experience from the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade. In addition, this kind of direct hand-to-hand training can also enhance the understanding and trust between the two parties. Although the female warriors are very strong, the Weaver Clan is allied with the Human Federation, and it is obvious that they cannot keep the soldiers of the Human Federation out of the battlefield. If we have to fight together in the future, then it will be of great benefit to build a relationship of trust at this time.

Of course, this kind of trivial matter does not need Yang Yi to ask in person.

When the two came in, Yang Yi glanced back, and his eyes fell on the projection screen in front of him.

Whether it is a patrol ship, or a patrol ship of the Silicon Charm Alliance, it is not very big, but the patrol ship is originally a small warship, far less than the capital ship, and it is impossible to build it as large as the capital ship. Like the Galactic Alliance, the patrol ships of the Silicon Alliance are mainly used for reconnaissance and vigilance missions, and they do not have too strong combat power. To put it simply, after discovering the target, what the patrol ship has to do is to report the situation immediately, not to engage the target, naturally it does not need too strong combat effectiveness, but only speed and communication equipment. Although patrol ships are of little use in head-to-head combat, they are irreplaceable elsewhere.

"Major?"

"How?"

"Even if you launch a sneak attack, the certainty is not very large, only less than one percent of the probability."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and Alun also closed his mouth with interest.

Shen Chengwen was very puzzled, and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"I asked Aaron to analyze whether he was sure to destroy the patrol ship before it gave the signal." Yang Yi looked back at Shen Chengwen and Otis and said, "Obviously, we can only wait patiently. It was an ordinary patrol ship, and as long as it wasn't too close, it wouldn't have spotted us. ”

Otis nodded, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant.

"Just waiting, doing nothing?" Shen Cheng asked.

"I've told Aaron to prepare, if there's really no way, take the initiative, and then make a space jump and leave this hellish place."

Shen Chengwen was slightly stunned and nodded.

"Of course, you should know that if we make a space jump in advance, our whereabouts will be exposed, and we will even be targeted by the nearby main fleet." Yang Yi let out a long sigh and said, "So we can't do this unless we have to, we can only wait patiently now, hoping that the patrol ship is just doing a routine patrol, or it won't be long before it leaves, and it won't carefully search the low-orbit area." ”

"I hope so." Shen Cheng muttered when he heard this.

Otis sighed to herself, praying to herself.

Although the "Star Sea" has advanced performance and is equipped with the most advanced stealth equipment of the Weaver Clan, as long as the patrol ship is close enough, it can detect the space interference generated by the "Star Sea", so as to discover the "Star Sea", at least know that there is a small warship near Acarus.

Of course, this probability is very low.

Acarius is a giant planet with a low-orbit region more than ten times its size, and a patrol ship certainly can't search the entire low-orbit region in a short period of time. If the patrol ship had only made routine rounds and had previously searched the low-orbit area, it would not have done so. Under normal circumstances, the patrol ship will not even enter the orbit of Acarius and will fly away directly from the vicinity.

Perhaps, it was just a chance encounter.

Of course, Yang Yi and they all hope so.

The question is, is there such a coincidence?

Although the Silicon Alliance has dispatched tens of thousands of patrol ships to monitor the home galaxy, for a star system, and it is the largest star system in the North Fourth Region, 10,000 patrol ships is not much at all. These patrol ships are spread out at equal distances, and the distance between the two adjacent ships is more than 100 million kilometers. Normally, it takes about ten days for a patrol ship to fly a round trip, but Yang Yi and they have only been here for ten hours.

If it weren't for the coincidence, the patrol ship had come to the vicinity of Akarius.

If so, luck wouldn't have been so bad. (To be continued.) )
