ACT300: Satellite 9
Whether the British want to admit it or not, it is a well-established fact that their Great Britain is changing "not as much as it used to be"!
Until the outbreak of World War I, Britain was at its peak, with overseas colonies spread across every part of the known star field. The British Royal Navy, which aimed to dominate the world, was on a par with the Tang Navy in terms of overall strength at that time, and even tended to be in the leading position when the dreadnoughts were launched.
But the occurrence of World War I gave this empire on which the sun never sets a blow to the head! Although the war was finally won, Britain's own damage was no small amount. Coupled with the intensification of the national liberation movements in various colonies, it only took them 20 years to defeat most of the little money they had saved at the peak of their century!
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse after all! Even though the size of the British Navy has been reduced year after year, the current strength of the Royal Navy is still among the first-class navies. So as soon as the news of something good in the Shattered Star Zone came out, Chamberlain, who didn't have a hard time with Hitler, sent a fleet to this side as soon as possible, even a little earlier than the Americans on Mars.
However, the British Navy did not plan to send the Hood to the Shattered Star Zone at first, although this ship was much more powerful than the Prestige class in terms of speed and firepower, but it was also much larger in size! With a standard displacement of more than 42,000 tons, it is a full circle larger than the Counterattack, which is more than 27,000, and the Prestige, which has nearly 34,000 after the transformation, and this size is quite a loss in the Shattered Star Zone.
But the hulls of the Prestige and the Counterattack were lying in the shipyard at this time for "great health care", and the speed of the battleships could not keep up with the pace of light cruisers and destroyers. Therefore, the Hood can only come over to hold the girder for a while, and then come over to replace her after the counterattack completes the overhaul.
To be honest, if it is just to deal with the local ship regiments, then the firepower at the level of light cruisers is actually sufficient! But the British know very well that they are not the only countries interested in this area. There is the United States on Mars in the inside, and Tang and Japan on Jupiter in the outside, and the navies of these three are not weak!
Thus the Hood was saved not so much to deal with pirates as to deter other nations.
The British fleet arrived at the first in early May, in the Shattered Star Zone. As soon as they arrived, they took aim at the AKY boat regiment, which was in the limelight at that time, and planned to subdue this group of local armed forces for their own use.
Unexpectedly, before they could contact AKY, the other party was wiped out by the Luo family, whose strength suddenly increased. The British commander keenly smelled the smell of "other countries", so he quickly turned the muzzle of the Naro family's ship!
After defeating the Luo family ship group, the British fleet was actually ready to stop first and stabilize the territory it had just won. But the appearance of the German fleet did not allow them to sit idly by.
Unlike Chamberlain, who blindly compromised with Hitler, the British Navy has long been unhappy with the prime minister because of the "disarmament boom" at home. And Churchill, who is currently in the "minority", took advantage of this and asked MI6, which favored him, to convey this information directly to the expeditionary fleet, bypassing the prime minister. Let them find a way to stop each other.
When Zhao discovered the British fleet, the other party was looking around for the Germans. Although the Shattered Star Zone is vast, as long as the German sailors need to eat and drink, they will definitely need to maintain supply lines. Therefore, the British sent in the submissive groups of ships and let them cast their nets in search of German ships or suspicious supply ships.
Fortunately, the performance of the ancient man's radar in Zhao's hand far exceeded that of the "human-made" in the hands of the British army, so he could find the traces of the other party thousands of kilometers away in advance. They even used the equipment on board the Leap to eavesdrop on the radio communications of the British troops, knowing that they were looking for the German fleet.
In this regard, Zhao Jian couldn't help but say that this Shattered Star Area is really getting more and more "lively"!
"Go around. Don't touch them. ”
Relying on his BUG-level advantage of "opening the whole map", Zhao's fleet easily drilled under the British search net and continued to move towards the target. But as they walked, they found that the British were hanging far behind them. is also moving in the same direction, which suddenly gave Zhao Jian a bad premonition.
This hunch was fulfilled two days later, when a German fleet appeared on the edge of the reconnaissance range directly in front of them. The three groups of people were next to each other, and Zhao Jian and them were just caught in the middle!
"Holy! This treasure spot, Chavielle, shouldn't have sued others? How do I think those Germans are going to the same goal as us!? ”
"Who knows? Maybe! Chi You smacked his shoulders and said.
Faced with this kind of cheating situation. Some of Zhao Jian's subordinates mentioned "safety first" and gave up the treasure to retreat, while others mentioned yì. "Make" all these competitors first, and then eat alone. After thinking for a while, Zhao ordered his fleet to speed up and try to catch up with the German fleet.
Whether this treasure is to be abandoned or discarded, at least you have to see what it is before you can make a decision!
So Zhao Jian ordered all the shipwives of each ship to access the upgraded "Far Pupil. Change the "system", gather everyone's computing power, and enter the "automatic pathfinding mode". This allows them to move at a third of their cruising speed through the interior of the Shattered Star Sector.
As early as when attacking the mining area, although Zhao's joint command system played a great role, it also exposed the shortcomings of excessive consumption of the main control ship. Every time Hongling accesses the system, it won't last long before there will be a fatigue reaction, although this can be quickly restored by Zhao Jian's increasingly skilled "maintenance skills", but if this goes on for a long time, Hongling will sooner or later be "broken".
Therefore, he asked Chiyou to make an improvement to the system, which can access more ships at the same time, and gather everyone's computing power to spread the fatigue value.
Gathering all the abilities of the ship's mother, the fleet formed a long snake formation under the leadership of Hongling, and quickly accelerated to 10~12 cosmic knots along the calculated optimal trajectory. This speed is different from that of an ordinary spaceship, and it doesn't dare to drive in the Shattered Star Zone at all! So Zhao and the others quickly threw the British fleet out of the detection distance, and in only a few hours, they went around the underside of the German fleet and ran to the front.
At this time, the German fleet did not know that someone had just overtaken it, let alone that there was a British fleet approaching behind them. The battlecruiser De Fllinger, who was in charge of the covert operation, was relying on one of its own detection devices to find a source of energy, which was most likely the root cause of the emergence of energy ore in the Shattered Star Zone.
In a sense, the Germans can be regarded as the largest group of "brain-dead fans" of ancient people in this time and space! Their obsession with Gendaya technology has led them to focus on this archaeological black technology from the reign of Wilhelm II before World War I to the present.
Even after the defeat in World War I, the Weimar government, which had already been overthrown, and the Nazi clique that was now in power, inherited these studies from generation to generation. And now the mustache is actively trying to apply the results he has achieved to military technology, because he believes that in the future New World war, victory will belong to the side with the most ancient technology.
The "energy sensor" is a detection device developed by German scientists specifically to find the remains of ancient people, this technology is regarded by the Germans as the top secret, and has been applied to some large radars in Germany to accurately detect the quantum ocean with "high energy reflection" of the spaceship.
Just as Zhao Jian guessed, the Germans' goal was indeed the "treasure" that Shavier told him. However, unlike Zhao Jian, who could directly obtain accurate coordinates with the help of a master, the Germans investigated many ruins through guò for more than 30 years, and followed the clues step by step to find the Shattered Star Zone. To this end, they also invested heavily and spent more than ten years developing this device.
But it's a pity that their secret operation was not only detected by the pervasive British MI6, but also caused Zhao Jian, a monkey who wanted to "steal peaches" halfway, and the probability of success of the mission was greatly reduced!
After overtaking the German fleet, Zhao's side continued to move at high speed non-stop, and Zhao's side could clearly feel that they were getting closer and closer to the target. The location of the treasure should be in the "Ninth Satellite Zone"!
This is the smallest field wall in the entire shattered star area, with a volume of only one-tenth the size of the wall of the lunar field, but the internal atmospheric environment is extremely unstable, and the whole area maintains strong winds above level 5~6 all year round, and some areas will even have more than 12 "super hurricane environments", and the asteroids inside collide with each other under the influence of strong winds, so they are getting more and more fragmented.
The locals call it "Crusher Nine", and no boat group wants to come near it, let alone live in it.
When the fleet came to the Ninth Satellite Area, Zhao Jian looked at the turbulent environment in the wall of the domain and the debris floating out, and there was a little hesitation in his heart.
If it was only the weakest level 5~6 wind, Zhao Jian would still dare to let his fleet go in and take a turn. The defensive stance created by the Quantum Ocean can completely bounce off those broken stones.
But once they accidentally enter those dark hurricane and super hurricane areas, then the forces of nature can teach them to be human beings in minutes. But the induction clearly told Zhao Jian that the treasure was very close to them, so Zhao Jian asked each ship to go offline and prepare to vote collectively.
"Be democratic, everyone will make a statement, this is a dead ...... Shall we do it? (To be continued......)
