Chapter 407: Hiding in Tibet
The four patrol ships first arrived near the Acarius star, and although the "Star Sea" had lowered its orbital altitude and hid in the atmosphere of the Acarius star, it was still able to obtain information from the outside world by relying on its powerful detection capabilities, and it was possible to discover the huge fleet following the four patrol ships. As the distance decreased, Aaron was already able to make a rough judgment based on the fluctuations in the original energy generated by the enemy ship.
Inside this massive fleet were at least ten SSS-class ships, and many more were outside of Aron's detection zone.
Obviously, this is a real main fleet.
Of the four patrol ships that arrived first, three entered the orbit of Acarius and released a large number of detection equipment before reaching the synchronous orbit, while the other remained about 10 million kilometers away from Acalius and was presumably responsible for remote surveillance.
The greatest threat to the "Xinghai" is not the four patrol ships, but the detectors released by them.
In fact, these detectors are genetically modified silicon beasts. While patrol ships will not venture into the atmosphere of Acarius, those probes that are released will certainly do. If you just search the orbital space of Acarius, you don't need to use a probe at all.
Looking at the fast-moving light spots on the projection screen, Yang Yi frowned.
Although a giant planet like Acarius is a desperate situation for silicon-based life, because the temperature is so low that even a warrior with an Origin Converter will not venture into the atmosphere. If there is no Origin Converter, then it will freeze after entering the atmosphere. Because the ships of the Silicon Alliance are also silicon beasts, it is also very dangerous to enter the atmosphere of Acarius.
It's just that, for single-use probes, the low temperature environment on Acarus is obviously not a problem.
Even after entering the atmosphere, these detectors quickly "fail". But certainly not immediately, as long as you can survive for a while, even if it is only for a few minutes, it is enough to complete the mission. As long as there are enough detectors, you can search for Akarius.
In the picture, those points of light are still increasing.
"Xinghai" was able to discover these probes. Because all detectors produce original energy fluctuations. Although it is not from the Primordial Converter, after all, the Silicon Alliance will not equip the single-use detectors with the Primordial Converter, but from the Primordial Energy Storage Device, but it is enough for these probes to survive in the atmosphere of Acarius for a few minutes, enough to reach the ocean of liquid hydrogen on Acalius.
"Major?"
"See."
When Aaron reminded Yang Yi, there were already millions of light spots in the picture, and they were evenly distributed, covering the entire Acarius Star.
"With a distance of 100 kilometers, we have nowhere to hide."
Yang Yi frowned. Didn't say anything.
When he discovered that the enemy's patrol ships had begun to drop probes, Yang Yi asked Otis if the "Star Sea" could enter the liquid hydrogen ocean of Acarius. Although Otis gave a positive answer that the "Star Sea" was fully able to withstand the low temperatures of the liquid hydrogen ocean, Arlen gave a negative answer, that is, the disturbance caused by the "Star Sea" when entering the liquid hydrogen ocean would definitely be detected by enemy ships.
The reason is simple, the "Star Sea" is a battleship.
Although it is only a small warship, it is about the size and mass of a large meteorite. Even entering the ocean of liquid hydrogen at a very low speed can cause ripples to change, causing the state of the ocean of liquid hydrogen to change. Don't talk about those detectors. Even patrol ships in synchronous orbit can spot them.
The problem is that staying in the atmosphere can also be found.
The detectors dropped by patrol ships are no stranger to the Human Legion, and they are one of the most used weapons by the Silicon Alliance. In the previous Greenwich Wars, the Silicon Alliance used this consumable in large quantities, causing a lot of trouble for the Galactic Alliance. On the battlefield of space. This seemingly ordinary detector can detect warships hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and sound the alarm in time. Even in the atmosphere of Acarius, the detection range will not be less than 100 kilometers, let alone 50 kilometers. Just enter the atmosphere of Acarius and land towards the ocean of liquid hydrogen. The discovery of the "Star Sea" is only a matter of time.
What to do?
"Major, we might be able to hide."
"Say!" How dare Yang Yi delay, although Alun is just an artificial intelligence program, but at this time, it is a good thing to be able to come up with a way.
"There's a cyclone forming in the northwest, and if you get into the center of the cyclone, you might be able to avoid those detectors."
"Where?"
The screen expanded, and Aaron showed the cyclone with a diameter of more than 100,000 kilometers and still rapidly increasing, and deliberately increased the brightness.
"The airflow in the center of the cyclone is very stable, but the height of this cyclone is about 1,000 kilometers, and the wind speed in the periphery is more than 3,000 kilometers per hour. As long as we can reach the center of the cyclone, those probes that fall from high altitude will be blown away by the strong winds on the periphery of the cyclone, and they will not be able to enter the center of the cyclone, and they will not be able to detect us. It's just that we can't get in from above and have to pass through the strong wind belt on the periphery. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly and looked at Otis.
"Major, there are no problems with the battleship itself." Without waiting for Otis to speak, Aaron said, "This kind of wind speed does not pose any threat to the battleship, the key is that if we take the initiative to approach the cyclone, then it may be exposed before entering the cyclone, and after entering the cyclone, the interference caused by the lateral movement of the battleship will inevitably have an impact on the airflow around the cyclone, and it is more likely to be detected by nearby detectors." ”
"So what to do?" Shen Chengwen asked for Yang Yi.
"Let the cyclone come over and reel us in." Aaron paused slightly, then added, "I have calculated, the cyclone will pass nearby, and we only need to move about a thousand kilometers northeast before that, and we will be able to enter the cyclone in about fifteen minutes." ”
"So, what are you waiting for?"
"The probe released by the enemy ship has entered the atmosphere and will arrive in ten minutes."
Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"So, we need five minutes?"
"The only way to get those five minutes is to lower the flight altitude, and according to what I've calculated, you have to be close to the ocean of liquid hydrogen."
"How close?" Yang Yi asked again.
"It can't be more than a hundred meters."
"Questions?" Yang Yi frowned.
"On Acarius, this altitude is too low. What's more, the cyclone is approaching, and the waves over the ocean of liquid hydrogen are more than a thousand meters high. Although the performance of the 'Star Sea' is not a problem, let alone being hit by the waves, even if it enters the liquid hydrogen ocean, it can sail normally, but it will definitely be discovered. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, he really didn't think of this question.
"How sure are you if you're in control?" Shen Chengwen asked directly.
"It's less than one percent, and it depends on luck, there are too many unpredictable factors, even relying on the most powerful light brain of the Weaver Clan, you can't make accurate predictions."
Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi didn't make a decision immediately, but cast an inquiring glance at Otis.
"Is there any other way?"
"No, that's the only way to avoid the probe."
"Well, what is there to hesitate about?" Otis pursed her mouth, and she obviously didn't understand Yang Yi and Shen Chengwen's hesitation.
"Major?"
"Just do it, at least it's much better than throwing yourself into the net. Also, be prepared for space jumps. ”
"Space jumping on Acarius? Major, although the 'Star Sea' can do it, but doing so will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences. If Acarius is attracted by the open space channel and falls into the space channel as a result, then the whole planet ......"
"It's going to be destroyed, I know. The problem is that if we are discovered, the enemy will surely destroy the planet Acarius, and there will be no hesitation. If we make a space jump at that time, not only will it be impossible to keep Acarus, but we may not be able to escape smoothly. ”
"Understood."
"Let's get started. It's up to you, Aaron. ”
"Yes!"
Under Aaron's control, the "Star Sea" quickly lowered its flight altitude and flew towards the sea of liquid hydrogen below.
In fact, even if there are no cyclones, the ocean of liquid hydrogen on Acarius is not calm, and the wave height at any time is more than 10 kilometers. In the event of a strong convective cyclone, wave heights can reach up to 3,000 kilometres in the area of influence, while 1,000 kilometres of waves are not uncommon.
Thankfully, it's just the waves.
As he approached the ocean of liquid hydrogen, Aaron showed the outside of the battleship.
Due to the cyclone, huge waves have been thrown over the ocean of liquid hydrogen, and wave after wave, and there seems to be no end in sight. If measured by the ocean on Yanhuang Star, there is indeed no end, because the area of influence of this cyclone is more than 100,000 kilometers, and the equatorial circumference of Yanhuang Star is only 60,000 kilometers.
It's just that there are some gaps in the waves that the "Star Sea" can pass through.
It was these gaps that Aaron exploited.
To put it simply, the "Star Sea" travels between the waves, heading northeastward, that is, along a line perpendicular to the direction of the cyclone.
In just a few minutes, Yang Yi and the others felt as if a few hours had passed.
When the "Xinghai" shook violently, Yang Yi's heart tightened, but then he relaxed, because Aaron did not sound the alarm.
Soon, detailed information appeared in front of Yang Yi.
The "Star Sea" has entered a cyclone, to be precise, it has been swallowed by a laterally moving cyclone.
The cyclone is very powerful and contains infinite power, but it is completely transparent and cannot be seen at all. Quite simply, the atmosphere of Acarius is almost entirely composed of hydrogen, and the content of other elements is less than one percent, so it is extremely pure and can be said to be spotless. Besides, Acarius is in the outermost part of the home galaxy, so far away from the star in the center of the galaxy that it is almost completely shrouded in darkness.
The "Xinghai" entered the cyclone, and Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Otis all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
