[849] The wandering journey of the earth
It's only been half a day.
Cheng Han's speculation was confirmed.
A second-class Jupiter ring near the Governor's Palace, the reconnaissance group sent out, found another lightsail fleet, numbering more than 3,000 ships.
But.
The Wanhao clan also paid the price.
One of the first warhawk formations to spot the enemy, a total of six warhawks, was overtaken by the lightsail fleet and died in a fierce salvo of light-dome cannons.
Before they died, they sent back the results of the investigation in time.
The news of the second lightsail fleet soon reached the ears of the Xuandu.
A group of people began to talk again.
"Judging by the location of this lightsail fleet, it is definitely an ambush fleet."
"That's right, if the rings of Jupiter of the second rank dispatch the Warhawk Legion, they will definitely be ambushed by the birds halfway."
"Fortunately, His Excellency has insight into the conspiracy of the Celestial Clan."
"It seems that this big battle is bigger than expected."
Zhang Xuandu, who had previously suggested "mobilizing the military forces of the surrounding Jupiter rings", even had a little sweat on his back, and he was terrified.
Another half day passed.
The third and fourth baresail fleets were discovered one after another.
The number of these two fleets reached 3,000 and 4,000 ships.
Skirmishes frequently broke out between the reconnaissance aircraft group and the baresail fleet.
The losses of the Bird Hunter began to skyrocket, and so far, at least a thousand warriors have died in the vast sea of stars.
And to this point.
The number of baresail warships that have already appeared has reached a staggering 17,000 in one fell swoop, which is more than twelve times that of the previous war.
The atmosphere of the first-class Jupiter rings suddenly became tense again.
The Xuandu quarreled again.
"Nearly 20,000 baresail warships, if you forcibly attack a second-class Jupiter ring, I'm afraid that Jupiter's rings will most likely not be able to stop it."
"The advantage of defense is naturally higher than that of offense, and even if Jupiter's rings are breached, the birders will pay a heavy price."
"But the problem is, we can't just do nothing and wait for the Lightsail Fleet to break through one ring after another, right?"
"The Wandering Earth should be about to set sail, let's wait for the 'Divine Monarch''s Posture' to deal with the Baresail Fleet."
"I just inquired, and in half an hour, the last two planetary engines will be installed."
Everyone's eyes looked through the large portholes, locking onto the behemoth in the center of Jupiter's rings.
Only a quarter of an hour passed.
The Xuandu were keenly aware of it, and a deep and powerful transcendent fluctuation suddenly swept from the center.
A Xuandu blurted out: "The Wandering Earth has started." ”
As soon as the words fell.
Twelve extremely bright tail flames erupted from the side of the giant ball one after another.
Each tail flame has a length of five kilometers, and it looks like a brilliant snake.
Under the impetus of the light snake, the huge ball moved from slow to fast.
After just a few breaths.
The speed of the Wandering Earth has exceeded 100 kilometers per hour.
This kind of acceleration ability seems to be quite ordinary, far inferior to the warhawk.
Considering that the diameter of the giant ball is close to 60 kilometers and its weight is measured in "trillion tons", this figure is extraordinarily staggering.
A group of Xuandu couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's amazing!"
"The power of the planetary engine is definitely on the same level as the Divine Array."
A few seconds passed.
The twelve light snakes have changed.
The length of the small half-light snake has been reduced by half, and the remaining light snakes have remained in their original state.
This led directly to a result - the direction of the thrust changed, and the direction of the giant ball was deflected by an angle.
Gu Xuandu glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned: "The direction of the Wandering Earth's progress seems to be the location of the No. 1 Light Sail Fleet, right?" ”
The so-called "No. 1" is exactly the name of the Governor's Palace for the first light sail fleet.
The fleet has more than 6,000 light sail fleets, blocking the passage of the first-class Jupiter rings to other Jupiter rings, but it is not in a hurry to attack, and it is clearly a blockade.
Zhang Xuandu nodded and said, "It seems that the giant ball plans to break through the blockade line of the No. 1 Light Sail Fleet. ”
Another Xuandu shook his head: "Too bold!" ”
A group of people watched as the light snake grew smaller and smaller, and watched the giant ball sail into the distance.
After a while.
A message came - Lord Governor himself, sitting on the Wandering Earth.
Gu Xuandu smacked his tongue: "This is really going to use the Wandering Earth to single-handedly pick up a light sail fleet." ”
He had guessed so before, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Zhang Xuandu sighed: "If this battle is won, General Cheng will completely change the pattern of the Xinghai battlefield with his own strength." ”
There is also a Xuandu, who expressed his concern: "The enemy's numerical advantage is too great, and the wandering earth will not be able to come back." ”
Gu Xuandu said: "Let's wait and see." ”
*
Five hundred kilometers away.
The speed of "wandering" on the wandering earth is still climbing.
In a cabin at the core.
Qian Qingqing happily reported a piece of news: "At present, the speed has reached twice the speed of sound, and the planetary engine is running very smoothly. ”
She paused for a moment and praised sincerely: "The planetary engine is a very successful and powerful design!" ”
Cheng Han laughed when he heard this.
Qian Qingqing still felt that it was not enjoyable after praising it, so she leaned her head over again.
"Whoa!"
She was about to retract her head, but found that she couldn't move.
"Cheng ......"
She had only said one word, and the rest of the words were blocked.
Five minutes passed.
Qian Qingqing had a chance to withdraw.
Her pretty face turned into a big apple, and her expression was shy: "I'll go to the main control center to have a look." ”
The girl held her breath for a long time, and there was no gasp at all.
It shows that after she was promoted to Xuanshi, her physical fitness has indeed improved a lot.
Cheng Han smiled slightly, and ordered: "The No. 1 Light Sail Fleet has discovered us, accelerate the Wandering Earth to its maximum speed, and prepare for battle." ”
Qian Qingqing's expression became serious, and she asked, "How to fight?" ”
Cheng Han gestured and chuckled: "Directly use the 'Collision Tactic', and by the way, test the giant ball's ability to resist blows!" ”
Qian Qingqing hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" ”
Cheng Han said confidently: "Believe me, there is no problem." ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the war simulation in the dizzy screen.
Another round of simulations has just ended, and the results are perfectly in line with expectations.
Qian Qingqing nodded: "Okay!" ”
Cheng Han thought for a while, and then said, "Send the real-time video of this battle to the General's Palace." ”
He was well aware of the tension in Jupiter's rings, and simply decided to use actual combat performance to dispel the worries of others.
Qian Qingqing responded crisply: "Okay!" ”
*
Ten minutes later.
Governor of the palace.
Through a detection array, the Xuandus saw the situation on the battlefield of the Star Sea.
Because the distance is more than 2,000 kilometers, and there are several transfers in between, the picture does not look too clear.
But it can still be clearly seen that a large patch of bright light, arranged in an array of houses, is sweeping towards a giant ball.
The former is the Baresail Fleet.
The latter is naturally the wandering earth.
in the picture.
The Wandering Earth dragged a long tail flame and crashed into the Lightsail Fleet.
Gu Xuandu was taken aback: "My God, Your Excellency General is crazy, right?" Just crashed into it? ”
