Even if these mercenaries have undergone strict military education after joining the Heavenly Army, they only look like that on the surface, and the looseness in their bones has never disappeared!

How can such an army be compared with its own soldiers who have been educated in patriotism since childhood?

Military powers all over the world, any strong army is not sky-high weapons and equipment at all, but high-quality soldiers!

Or even some notorious partisans and derrorists? Terror organizations are more effective than the armies of some small countries - these organizations have one thing in common, that is, they all have their own programs or beliefs.

Ye Fei can imagine that even if the Third Fleet is not missing in the process of returning, it is very likely that the number will be cancelled directly when it returns to the mainland, and all the mercenaries in the fleet will either be dismissed or transferred from the front-line posts.

Many thoughts flashed through Ye Fei's mind, but his eyes were always fixed on the image on the screen.

The Third Fleet did not fight to the death with the two bone mounds of the Outer Bone Man, but used two capital ships to attract the enemy head-on, and the fleet fought and retreated, keeping enough distance without being too far away, sticking to the enemy like kraft candy.

An idea suddenly popped into Ye Fei's mind: After withdrawing from Gliese 581, how many foreign mercenaries were there in the Third Fleet?

"How long is this going to be?" The veterinarian yelled impatiently, "Can't you just get a little closer and skip the middle section?" ”

Che Qi quickly calculated and said helplessly: "Staff officer." We were lucky enough to be able to capture these images, and if we flew forward for a minute, we would have to skip an hour and eighteen minutes of images, and we would have to readjust the angle of the optics every time, and if we had to start over again, I would suggest that it would be better to keep the status quo. ”

"Can't you just keep the optics on the image?" The veterinarian still refuses to give up, "When the speed of light is faster, you can see the starry sky directly in front of the battleship, let's reduce the multiple of the speed of light a little, and the lens is always aimed in this direction, isn't it the same to receive the image?" ”

Che Qi, who originally thought he was very reasonable, was suddenly speechless.

Ye Fei thought for a while and said, "Theoretically, this is indeed the case. But theory is theory after all. Jiang Xue, can you control the battleship into a faster-than-light state to ensure that the optical system is stable and immobile? ”

Jiang Xue's eyes widened in astonishment: "What are you kidding, it's impossible!" ”

Don't look at the optical system on the battleship, comparable to an astronomical telescope. But the diameter of the lens is not coarse. Even if the battleship stops. Jiang Xue also had to constantly fine-tune the position of the battleship, how could it be possible to fly at high speed and ensure stability? “

"Unless the target is a big target as bright as a star, the bone mound and the Third Fleet are too dark. It is simply impossible to locate in a state of high-speed flight. ”

"Forget it, I didn't say it." The veterinarian finally gave up his unrealistic thoughts and sat down honestly to watch the silent and boring battle images on the screen.

Ye Fei ignored the veterinarian and asked Jiang Xue again: "What if it's a normal speed?" He gestured to fly forward.

Jiang Xue was slightly stunned and replied hesitantly: "I don't know, but the maximum speed of the conventional voyage is only 6,000 kilometers per second, even if you go at full speed, it is useless." ”

Now Ye Fei had nothing to say, he and the veterinarian turned into a saw-mouthed gourd together, and after a while, the bored veterinarian simply left the bridge, Ye Fei also wanted to leave, but as the captain of the ship, he had to lead by example, so he could only insist helplessly.

The Third Fleet didn't stay put, and Che had to fine-tune the camera constantly to keep the camera on the Third Fleet.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no change in the battle for several hours in a row, Ye Fei simply ordered the bridge officers to rest in shifts, and after handing over the command of the bridge to He Jian, he left the fleet and went back to the captain's room to rest.

Everyone thought that it would not take long to see the results of the image, but they never waited for the required picture in the image, the Aquila stopped here for two days, Ye Fei wanted to order the battleship to advance a certain distance several times, considering that he had held on for so long, it was likely that he would be able to see the results next, so he endured it stubbornly.

During this period, Nie Jianrong also personally contacted the Aquila once, and Ye Fei took a lot of words to explain the current situation clearly, so that the old general Nie agreed that the Aquila would continue to stop here and wait for the results of the image.

On June 23, 2209, He Jian, who was on leave, returned to the bridge, Ye Fei turned around and was about to leave, when He Jian suddenly exclaimed: "Captain, there is a situation!" ”

"What's the situation?" After eight hours of duty, Ye Fei, who was sleepy and tired, suddenly became smart, and all his sleepiness disappeared.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a huge cluster of colorful light on the screen appear near the Third Fleet, the edge of the light cluster was low, and the center was bright, perhaps because the colorful light was mixed in the center of the light cluster, the center of the light cluster was actually a piece of pure white!

No wonder the female soldier in the communication would mention the word beautiful, the colorful light on the edge of the light cluster continued to flow and change like a stream of water, magnificent and mysterious, Ye Fei thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how Lu Dao could accurately describe it in words.

Judging from the proportions on the screen, the light cluster is unusually large, and it seems to be about the same size as a capital ship.

"What is this?" Ye Fei was messy, "Unknown celestial bodies? Some special phenomenon of the universe? Or is it a cosmic creature that has never been seen in the eyes of humans? ”

He'd never heard of anything like it, and when he looked through all the knowledge in his head, he still couldn't find any clues about the light, and he couldn't figure out what it was—

He Jian said solemnly: "I think it is likely to be a dangerous cosmic phenomenon, or some kind of dangerous cosmic creature, otherwise it is impossible for the Third Fleet to lose contact without leaving any news."

As if discovering the colorful light, the Third Fleet on the screen stopped attacking, as if it meant to avoid, but the Outer Bone Man had no idea of stopping, and took advantage of the fleet's ceasefire to quickly approach.

The Third Fleet began to accelerate, probably trying to distance itself from the Outer Bone Man, but the front was the left and right attack of the two bone mounds, and if the fleet wanted to pull away from it, it had to pass near the light cluster.

Fortunately, the light group did not change because of the proximity of the fleet and the bone mound, and several battleships of the Third Fleet accelerated at the same time, distancing themselves from the bone mound.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction. (To be continued......)
