368 First Round
"Could it be that they voluntarily abandoned the first few floors?" Scissors hesitate to guess.
"Do you even give up when the communication room says give up?" Fu Hongye stopped the scissors at once.
The communication room is the only channel for external communication, how can it be given up until the last moment?
A thought suddenly popped up in Ye Fei's mind: Did everyone go to the first few layers? But he soon rejected his own naΓ―ve idea.
A spaceship and a base, the most important places are all those few. Including the control center (bridge), power system, communication department, etc., the battle between humans, these are all important objectives of the first order.
If the first few floors are still in the hands of their own people, how can there be no one in the communication room?
"Forget it, it's useless for us to break our heads, wait for news from the fleet." Ye Fei waved his hand to disperse the surrounding companions, but the solemn expression never faded from his face.
In the early morning of April 16, 2205, on the periphery of Proxima Centauri.
The tiny star Proxima Centauri's light is much weaker than that of the Sun, and at a distance of four astronomical units from Proxima Centauri, the light has become very faint. However, the pitch-black space suddenly appeared with a colorful glimmer, and soon the six huge super battleships were out of the superluminal state in an instant.
"Headquarters calls Liuzhou, please answer when you hear it." The Liuzhou hid in a small group of celestial bodies nearby to hide from the Outer Skeletons.
"Liuzhou received, please speak."
"I'm Lu Jian, what's going on at the base?" After half a month of flying, the fleet is finally back.
"Report to the Commander, we lost contact with the base two days ago. It is not clear what is going on at the base. Liu Hongye, the captain of the Liuzhou, hurriedly replied in person.
He and Ye Fei's first mate have the same name, only one surname is missing.
Lu Jian sighed in disappointment: "What about the outer bone hybrids?" β
"The third bone mound is currently hovering near the base, a large number of alien fleets began to besiege the base the day before yesterday, you also know that the defense capability of the base is very poor, it only lasted for more than an hour before the enemy broke through, and after a while, we lost contact with the base. However, until now, the alien fleet is still entrenched in the sky above the base, and it is likely that the fighters in the base are still fighting...... Commander, do you need our ship to converge with the main forces? β
"No, I don't. The Liuzhou is hidden in its current location. When will you be notified. When will it come out again. "Lu Jian cut off the communication." Give me the image of the base switch. β
The big screen was immediately replaced with a real-time image of the base, and Lu Jian looked at the bone mound suspended in mid-air, and his brows gradually tightened.
The asteroid where the base is located has been surrounded by tens of thousands of biological warships, hovering over the base. It's as unhurried as a street stroll.
Not a single enemy ship attacked the base. Several enemy ships even skimmed directly above the base at a low altitude of less than two hundred meters from the base. The defense system installed in the base did not respond in the slightest, and there were a number of solidified balls on the surface of the base that encased the defensive weapons.
Lu Jian's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.
This would never have happened unless the outer layer of the base had been completely occupied by enemy forces. Now it's in trouble.
Although the Expeditionary Force had fought in previous battles with one outnumber, it was based on the fact that the Expeditionary Force's ships were much faster than the enemy's forces.
Now that the enemy has occupied the bone mound, if you want to rescue the people trapped in the base, you must first deal with the alien fleet besieging the base.
However, without the protection of speed, the super battleship has no possibility of defeating the enemy army at all, and will only be wrapped in large groups of enemy troops, and finally turn into one oversized cosmic version of amber after another.
Hard fighting is not the way out, Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "Find out the third bone mound for me." "Although the current situation is very unfavorable for the expeditionary force, it is still difficult.
"Yes!" The staff officer in charge of the optical system quickly operated, and after a short time, the third bone mound appeared on the big screen.
It is a red asteroid with a clear stony hardness on the surface, dense shafts all over the surface of the bone mound, and a large shaft that looks very large in terms of optics.
The data detected by the optical system are listed at the edge of the image one by one, and Lu Jian stares intently at the information of this bone mound: it is 2,300 kilometers in diameter.
This bone mound is a whole circle larger than the previous one, don't look at the difference in diameter, the difference in size is at least doubled!
Lu Jian understood in his heart that the greater the body fragrance of the bone mound, the more outer bone people and biological warships inhabited it, and the overall strength of this bone mound was estimated to be more than double that of the black bone mound.
In fact, whether it is the Yangtze River or the expeditionary force, not long ago when dealing with the outer skeleton man, when the outer skeleton man was blasted out of the state of light speed with the speed of light torpedo, the explosive power of the torpedo itself was only secondary, and the key was that the impact force of the light speed hedge was too terrifying.
The force of the impact severely damaged the structure of the bone mound, and when the bone mound ejected from the faster-than-light state, the large crater on the surface and the cracks in the back made at least a quarter of the shaft fatally unusable.
And that's not even counting the bio-warships damaged by the intense concussions in a faster-than-light collision.
When the battle is full, the strength of the two bone mounds can be counted as two-thirds of the remaining ones, and the ancestral tomb of the outer bone man has been smoking.
Lu Jian stared at the screen and ordered, "Determine the location of the bone mound, and then find me a few asteroids of similar size near the bone mound." "The expeditionary force only has six warships, and confronting the complete version of the bone mound head-on is simply looking for death, and only surprise can win.
His plan was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, so much so that when he said that he was looking for an asteroid, eight out of ten people who heard this sentence guessed Commander Lu's thoughts.
The asteroid tactic is always one of the commander's favorite and cost-effective tactics in the simulated confrontation of humans.
"Report to Commander, the third bone mound is close to the dense area of the asteroid belt, and there are a lot of targets to choose from."
Proxima Centauri, in addition to its two planets that have been ravaged to the point of disappearance, is home to a large number of small bodies a little further away.
Strictly speaking, all celestial bodies, including Proxima Centauri, are considered to be the outer Kuiper Belt of binary stars, except that a small star appears here. Unexpectedly, a space was created in the vast Kuiper Belt, which is an outer planetary system that is a binary star, and can also be regarded as an asteroid belt orbiting Proxima Centauri.
The asteroid chosen for the forward base is at the edge of this space, facing Proxima Centauri on one side and astronomical small objects on the other.
To use a more figurative analogy, Proxima Centauri is like an egg yolk, the space around it is like an egg white, and the smaller celestial bodies farther away are eggshells.
However, the two planets can only be regarded as impurities in egg whites.
The asteroid where the advance base is located is on the surface of the inner layer of the eggshell, and the alien fleet is besieging the advance base, and the location of the bone mound is in the egg white not far from the inner layer of the eggshell.
"Good. The coordinates were sent to Liuzhou. Tell Liu Hongye to pick a few solid asteroids and put thrusters on them. A smile flashed across Lu Jian's gloomy face, "The four destroyers rushed to the asteroid belt to join the Liuzhou and cover the Liuzhou operation. Xu Dong and Liao Zesheng listened to my command. Attract enemy fire head-on. β
"Yes!" The captains' answers were sonorous.
The Liuzhou, which was originally hidden in the small celestial body, immediately flew to the target point. Meanwhile. The four destroyers burrowed into the group of small celestial bodies one by one, avoiding various small celestial bodies like fish swimming in the sea, and flew towards the predetermined convergence coordinates.
The small bodies here are not as dense as they might see. The distance between each other is at least 100 kilometers, as long as the speed and direction are controlled, there is no problem in safe navigation.
The two capital ships quietly flew along the inner edge of the "eggshell" to the bone mound, and when the distance was almost there, they drilled into the asteroid belt, slowed down and quietly flew towards the bone mound.
Two hours later, four destroyers were in position; After another half hour, the Liuzhou converged with the destroyer, and under the cover of the destroyer, began to install the propulsion engine for the asteroid.
The transformation of Mars was achieved by a large number of icy asteroid impacts - asteroids do not have long legs themselves, and certainly do not run in line to hit Mars on their own, they are all installed by engineering troops with disposable thrusters before they involuntarily fly to Mars.
As a result, mankind has accumulated a lot of experience in the process of transforming Mars.
The batch of engines carried by Liuzhou was prepared for the transformation of habitable planets, but I didn't expect that the habitable planets were not discovered, but they were first used on the bone mound.
After a long six hours, the asteroid's modification finally ended. Lu Jian, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, gave an order, and the four asteroids ignited in turn according to their distance, accelerating and flying towards the bone mound.
Time-sharing ignition ensures that they reach the bone mound at the same time.
Although the bone mound was not far from the asteroid belt, it still took a long time for the asteroid to fly to the location of the bone mound, and Lu Jian had to wait patiently for more than two hours, until the distance between the asteroid and the bone mound was almost there, before commanding the Yanjing to accelerate and fly towards the bone mound.
As soon as the huge Yanjing appeared, it was immediately discovered by the Outer Bone Man, and the alien fleet hovering over the bone mound reacted quickly and immediately divided a fleet to meet the Yanjing.
At the same time, a large number of biological warships in the bone mound took off at the same time, and it looked like patches of mist were spewing out of the bone mound, and the fog converged into a dense torrent of warships, and at least 20,000 biological warships rushed towards the Yanjing.
The first enemy force was only a thousand ships, and the Yanjing did not hesitate to crash into the enemy fleet and launched a furious attack, and the outer skeleton who had never encountered this way of fighting suddenly suffered a big loss, and after a while, thousands of biological spaceships were lost.
Seeing that the enemy's reinforcement fleet was about to arrive, the Yanjing deliberately took a step slower, kept a safe distance of half a light second from the enemy's large forces, fought and retreated, and gradually retreated to the vicinity of the asteroid belt.
20,000 enemy ships said that a bone mound was a drop in the bucket, and Lu Jian was very dissatisfied with the enemy's slamming but helpless.
When the Yanjing had lured a large number of enemy forces far enough away from the bone mound, the Jinmen suddenly rushed out from the other direction and made a gesture of directly attacking the bone mound.
The enemy over the bone mound once again split up a fleet to deal with the Tsumon, who used the same tactics to direct the enemy towards the asteroid belt.
The two battleships led away from the enemy battleships were only about 50,000 at full capacity, and this level of battle was not even a small scene for the Outer Bone Man who used millions of warships at every turn, if it weren't for the large size of the two main ships, I am afraid that the commander of the Outer Bone Man would not even send this battleship.
Counting on two warships to mobilize the bone mound? What the hell is an intergalactic joke?
It wasn't as fast as the plan to change, and it wasn't until this time that Lu Jian realized that his thoughts were too naΓ―ve, how could the bone mound be so easy to move?
The asteroid had already flown close to the edge of the asteroid belt, and there was no time for him to adjust his calculations. To get to this point, we have to carry out the plan head-on.
The two capital ships quietly disappeared into the asteroid belt, and the crazy enemy army rushed into the asteroid belt regardless of it, and before the creature warship running in front found the human spaceship, only a huge asteroid suddenly appeared in the darkness!
The asteroids Lu Jian chose were all between twenty and thirty kilometers in diameter, which was large enough for a biological warship.
The speeding alien fleet was unable to avoid it, and more than a dozen biological warships crashed headlong into the asteroid, instantly shattering their bones. The battleships of the group that followed immediately after swerved to avoid danger.
More than 20,000 biological warships were helpless in the face of high-speed asteroids, and they flew in shock.
Mainstay!
Those who witnessed this scene invariably thought of these four words.
The flood of the alien fleet is like an unstoppable flood. And an asteroid is like a mountain in the way of a flood.
However, after the asteroid flies out of the small row belt. The Outer Bone Man finally discovered that the direction of the asteroid's flight was facing the bone mound!
"Great!" Watching the asteroid fly towards the bone mound, Lu Jian clenched his fists excitedly.
Since it is not easy for the bone mound to move, how can it be possible to avoid the asteroid? This is called cocooning.
Since mankind entered the cosmic age, there has never been a large-scale war between the countries of the earth. The so-called asteroid tactics. It has only appeared in various Star Wars games and campaign exercises. So far, it is still on paper, and to be honest, Lu Jian himself is not sure that he is sure of success.
"Huh? The Outer Skeleton's fleet has turned around? "Xu Dong is as happy as a child." Why didn't they chase it? β
"We're going to dig up the nest, and they're still chasing a fart." Lu Jian's face was full of red light, and his eyes were as bright as a hundred and twenty-watt light bulb.
"Will this work?" Xu Dong was still a little worried.
Lu Jian was full of confidence: "Why not?" You don't look at how hard it takes to move the bone mound, but if you have the ability, it will run? β
No matter how small the bone mound is, it is also an asteroid, and if you want to move, you must work together with tens of thousands of biological warships, and that is millions of biological warships!
Not to mention so many warships, even if Lu Jian was given a million soldiers, it would be enough for him to have a headache for half a month. How can millions of biological warships be so well coordinated? How is it possible to fly out of place in a short time? But those four asteroids won't be long before they hit the bone mound!
"Look!" Xu Dong was stunned, "What do they want to do?" β
Everyone subconsciously looked at the screen, only to see that the alien fleet that had given up the pursuit did not return to the bone mound as expected after overtaking the asteroid, and the long snake-like fleet quickly turned a hundred and eighty degrees and then suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the asteroid with an indomitable attitude.
"It's ...... To collide? Lu Jian couldn't believe his eyes, but just when he was in doubt, a large group of biological warships crashed into the speeding asteroids without hesitation under the noses of everyone, one, two, five, ten......
Compared to asteroids, the mass of a bio-warship is too small.
However, although the biological warships that crashed into the asteroid were all shattered in their lives, the subsequent enemy ships still went forward without hesitation, and although the impact force of a battleship was small, what about a thousand or ten thousand ships?
The asteroid's pace of progress is getting slower and slower under the desperate recoil of the alien fleet.
But this is not enough, the asteroid just slows down, and the direction of flight is still the bone mound!
At the critical moment, Bone Mound let tens of thousands of enemy troops take off again, all of whom rushed to the asteroid with the courage to sacrifice their lives and forget their lives.
The enemy Torrent who pursued the Jinmen was lucky, and encountered the asteroid a little later, giving them precious time to react, although they also made the decision to sacrifice the battleship to protect the bone mound, but they hit the side of the asteroid, and the desperate struggle of more than 10,000 warships changed the original flight direction of the asteroid.
All the humans who witnessed this were stunned by what they saw, and there was silence in the battleship, and an indescribable emotion filled everyone's chests.
Despite being enemies, the group was still shocked by the Outer Skeleton's determination.
"What do you want? Sympathize? Lu Jian's faint voice broke the strange silence, "Bullshit! To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, think about what the Outer Skeletons did during the Battle of Mars! Don't be funny with the overflow of sympathy, they are the Outer Skeletons, they are our enemies, and when they occupy the earth, it will be the end of humanity, put away your worthless compassion, hear it! β
Speaking of the worst of the end, Lu Jian was already furious. The roar was like thunder.
"Commander." Xu Dong's mind was in a mess, "They are the outer skeletons, our natural enemies, no matter how stupid we are, it is impossible for us to sympathize with them." We just, we just didn't expect them to make such a decision in order to save the bone mound. I used to look down on them and think they were vulnerable, but now it seems that I was too arrogant. The Outer Skeleton is definitely tougher than I thought, such an enemy is the most difficult enemy to deal with, and we just haven't adapted to this transformation for a while. Right. That's it. β
Xu Dong stumbled to clear his thoughts, and immediately attracted everyone's unanimous approval.
Everyone knows that the Outer Skeletons are intelligent beings, but even when the Outer Skeletons have just invaded the solar system. A human warship can also take on several biological warships. Not to mention the commandos. Two detachments would be able to suppress hundreds of Exoskeleton Men to the death.
Quantitatively speaking, human beings are far inferior to the Outer Bone Man, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the professional soldiers of the human race have always regarded the Outer Bone Man as flat.
However, the scene just now completely subverted the impression of the outer bone in everyone's hearts. The Outer Bone Man is also an intelligent life, and the decision to sacrifice the car to protect the commander at the most critical moment shows that they do not lack the courage and determination to die, and such opponents must be paid enough attention to whether they are strong or weak.
Xu Dong's explanation made Lu Jian very satisfied, but the officers and soldiers present were only vaguely aware of this, and were more subconsciously worried about whether this war would end in the defeat of mankind in the end.
Lu Jian smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor denying: "Don't be so unconfident, the enemy has the advantages of the enemy, we have our strengths, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, whether it is victory or defeat, we have to wait and see." His gaze turned to the screen, and the only smile dissipated in an instant, "Liu Hongye, detonate it for me!" β
"Understood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the asteroid that had deviated from its direction was shattered in a violent explosion, turning into a small celestial body that flew quickly, half of which faintly enveloped the bone mound.
The asteroid, which had almost come to a standstill, suddenly accelerated again...... Don't forget that there are propulsion engines on the asteroids.
The two asteroids were only delayed for a short time, and the other two asteroids took the opportunity to catch up.
Lu Jian gritted his steel teeth: "Look at how you are hiding this time!" β
When he blocked the Black Bone Mound, it was too far away from the asteroid belt, and Lu Jian didn't have a chance to use such a tactic, and this time was different from the past.
The three asteroids faintly sealed all the directions in which the bone mound dodged, and the price paid for playing the collision again was too great, even the outer bone man who took the battleship seriously did not dare to mess around, and the bone mound started urgently and slowly began to evade.
Lu Jian's eyes shot a dangerous light, and at this time, he realized that he was dodging, was it too late? It was as if he saw the smile of the goddess of victory.
The enemy force that had suddenly pursued the Jinmen moved again.
The enemy army, with just over 10,000 warships left, unexpectedly crashed into the side of an asteroid, like a glass of water poured on an asteroid. When the last battleship disappeared, there was a puddle of bio-battleship wreckage on the surface of the asteroid, but the direction of the asteroid also changed, but fortunately, the bone mound was still above the asteroid's trajectory.
Lu Jian breathed a sigh of relief when his heart was raised in his throat, but he was too happy.
The deviated asteroid actually crashed heavily into another asteroid, and the two asteroids deviated from their original direction together, and there was no longer a threat to the bone mound.
There is only one asteroid left that may crash into the bone mound, and the bone mound moves with all its might, in the direction of the asteroid that exploded.
The debris is not an asteroid after all, and hitting it on the bone mound is simply an itch.
Lu Jian was angry, his intestines almost repented, why did he blow up that asteroid?
He pinned all his hopes on the last asteroid, but the speed of the bone mound's dodge was a little faster than he expected, and in the end, the bone mound still managed to avoid the front, and the asteroid hit the edge of the bone mound, rubbing off a large piece of "skin", leaving a huge chasm on the surface of the bone mound that lasted more than 300 kilometers.
The huge bone mound was like a spinning top that had been whipped by a naughty boy, and it spun violently; It's like a billiards master hitting a perfect spinning ball, hitting the bone mound and flying away while spinning, and the speed is much faster than the bone mound flying itself.
Looking at that rotation, I'm afraid I want to stop for a while.
Lu Jian sighed in frustration, he knew very well that this level of impact could only be regarded as a minor injury to the bone mound, and all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force counted one by one, no one expected that they would be able to face three bone mounds near Proxima Centauri, and at present, the expeditionary force has destroyed two bone mounds, and the outer bone man has also destroyed the advance base of the expeditionary force.
Lu Jian sighed lightly: "People are not as good as heaven, let's withdraw." His gaze staring at the bone mound is extremely complicated, the original tactics of nine out of ten have completely come to naught, I can't help but say that it is a pity, but this is the first round, who wins and who loses, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see! (To be continued......)
