Inside the asteroid belt of the Virginia Galaxy.

The two Imperial Super Banshee starfighters one after the other, low skimmed the surface of a huge asteroid with a diameter of several kilometers, the long ionic tail flame behind the fighter swept across the rough surface of the planet, peeling off many fine debris and dust from their parent bodies, scattered into interstellar space, under the wings of the two starfighters, there was a huge rock crack across half a planet, because it avoided the direct "ray" of the star's light, its bottom looked black at a glance, The Imperial fighters circled around the crack until the electro-sensors had finished scanning the terrain at the bottom of the crack and confirmed that nothing was out of the ordinary, and the photo-sensors had seen nothing out of the darkness to find anything they were interested in, then the two Imperial Superbanes left the asteroid contentedly and headed to the next stop to continue their search.

It is understandable that the two Imperial pilots are so concerned about this huge asteroid, because the asteroid belt has always been the favorite of relatively weak rebels, where they can better conceal themselves, and with the increasing strength of the Alliance's forces, and the frequency and expansion of wars, the Empire has begun to pay more and more attention to learning from its opponents, not only learning from experience, but also learning lessons, while increasingly using dust, rubble, gas clouds and other complex space material activities like the Alliance. There is also a greater understanding of how the Alliance uses these space environments for covert activities - like the rift, the Empire has rarely paid attention to the interior of asteroids, rarely got so close, and rarely investigated so closely when conducting similar search operations like this.

But while they focused on the asteroid Earth search operation, they didn't find it. Not far from the asteroid, in a small area of rubble shadow that is too common in the asteroid belt, a black "colored" phantom starfighter has been staring at them, and after the two super banshees left, this phantom also left the scene and quietly fled in a different direction......

In a patch of dust far away from the asteroid belt, not far from a hidden space jump point, the Archangel space carrier, after comprehensively summarizing the reconnaissance information brought back by various reconnaissance aircraft, keyholes, and phantom teams. People can't help but feel embarrassed. The problem has become very tricky.

The Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet was completed after completing the task of resettlement of colonists in the Nanshan Colony. Turning back to the New Virginia system, although Yao had previously issued an order to the fleet to prepare in advance, it was not so easy to find a suitable place to settle on the newly colonized planet, and start from scratch to initially build a temporary colony that could barely support the lives of tens of thousands of people, the New South Mountain Colony, and when everything was roughly arranged, the colony began to take shape. By the time they hurried away with the cheers and thanks of the colonists, some time had passed, and it took them some time to return to the New Virginia system, and the daylilies were cold, and the New Virginia system at this time was no longer the empty, free-flowing galaxy they had come from, it had become very lively and dangerous—the Imperial Search Fleet had arrived here from various different systems and star fields.

That's not what they need. But the heavens don't follow people's wishes. Today's New Virginia system has become dangerous, and it is full of Imperial warships and warplanes on search missions. Because in the Brest system, the New Virginia system, and nearby galaxies, there is no shadow of the theoretically existing Confederate fleet everywhere. While Admiral Steve was furious, his generals also passed the pressure down layer by layer, and the grassroots commanders and pilots were almost "driven" crazy, and as a result, almost all the ground vehicles that could fly in interstellar space were sent out, frantically searching for the shadowy tulip fleet that could be felt, but could not be seen, in several nearby key galaxies.

But it's useless to go crazy, the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet is not in the galaxy fields speculated by the Empire, no matter how hard the Empire tries, how can it be found? The jump point between JP2 is relatively remote, and the Empire has not been able to find it for a while, otherwise they may have guessed it, Risen sometimes finds it incredible, the Empire and these former fugitives have entered the New Virginia system, but the colonists have found the jump point between JP2, but they don't know that there is another space jump point JP3, and the Empire is the opposite? In the same way, none of them knew that there was another way out in the New Virginia system.

Coincidence, or is it a deliberate arrangement of fate?

It doesn't matter, what matters now is how they continue their search operation, the fleet has just jumped out of subspace and entered the New Virginia system, and immediately found that the situation is not right, if it weren't for Yao's caution, they were only afraid that they had been discovered, and they had to be forced to exchange fire with the Imperial fleet, and after a wave of Imperial Army searches, the fleet had to retreat to the vicinity of the jump point between JP2 and standby, and decided to send a phantom to check the activities of the Imperial Army in the star system before the next move......

"It's like an ever-expanding and tight net," Yao Feilun stared at the star map displayed on the screen in front of the conference room, and at the location of the p3 jump point that led to another galaxy, the detected Imperial patrol and search routes, range, scale, density, time, etc., were all displayed on the star map, she shook her head slightly, and gave it

Conclusion, "A single Phantom may be able to sneak through this net without being apparitioned, and other starfighters will not be able to escape the Empire's search net unless they are extremely lucky, let alone our fleet." ”

"And," she said, with a solemn face, "it goes without saying that we want to continue tracking the Empire's transports, even if we want to exit the New Virginia system and return to the Windy City space station, which is almost an impossible mission in this situation, in other words, we are stuck here." ”

She had been studying the star map of the New Virginia Galaxy for almost a day, and whether it was computer simulations or the intelligence of the human brain, the final result was the same - failure, as she had encountered in the past. The solution of the alliance is to take a detour, can't I afford to provoke and hide? It's not the Alliance's way to do it, just like the Dralanov incident before them, and they wisely chose not to try the holes in the defenses of the New London system.

But in this case, it is obviously impossible to make a detour, they have nothing to detour, and even if they do not complete the mission, they must pass through the New Virginia system, because only through the New Virginia system, the Brest system. in order to regain contact with the Alliance. Get the necessary supplies and support. The energy reactors on ships and fighters may not have to worry about resupplying in a short period of time, but the daily maintenance and maintenance of spare parts, logistics food supplies and other things are consumed very quickly, and the crew and pilots also need to rest and recuperate, otherwise it is difficult to maintain their mental state.

"So what do we do now? Fei Ren, Risson, do you guys have any good ideas? Schnell looked at Yao and then at Resson. Looking at the way you look, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all, haven't you already discussed the idea? ”

"There is no solution in a hurry, only always keeping a cool head is the most important thing." Risen smiled and said, "One thing you're right, we do have a little bit of a consensus. ”

"What? Let's talk about it, what do we do next? Will there be a fight with the Imperial Army? "It's not just Schnell who is surprised and excited. The attention of others was also highly focused on Risen at this time. lest they miss something, because no matter what they think, they never come up with a feasible solution. I didn't expect Risen to have an idea so quickly, I really don't know what he had in his head.

"It's very simple, do nothing, fight, I won't do such a thankless task." Risen replied heavily.

"Do nothing?" Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Risen meant.

"This work 1 6k exclusive text version was first released, may not be reproduced without consent, excerpts, more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit.1 6 n! All we can do at the moment is to wait, wait patiently, and fight patiently with the Imperial Army. Yao remained calm and explained to Ruisen unhurriedly. If they can't find any trace of us in the vicinity, they will definitely wonder if we have actually reached the New Virginia system, or if there is some kind of trick to divert the tiger from the mountains, and the enemy will have to re-examine their decision to readjust the search operation, and then it will be our chance. ”

"But," asked Lieutenant Colonel Thule, puzzled, "sir, didn't you just emphasize our supply problem?" Not to mention the spare parts of warplanes and ships, just talking about the food problem, a considerable part of our food reserves have been consumed by the people of the Nanshan colony, and it has been reduced to an abnormal level. ”

"So we have to solve the problem of supplies, the problem of shortage of spare parts can be temporarily solved by reducing the activities of ships and warplanes, strengthening inspections, and the problem of food reserves is also good to say, we go back to the Nanshan Colony of the Peach Blossom Source Galaxy, when we evacuate, the ship only cares about carrying people, necessary food and supplies, most of the things are left in the Nanshan Colony, there should be a lot of food left, we don't touch those personal belongings, those people in the New Nanshan Colony may go back to find their things, but the food reserves can't last long, If we don't take it, they won't be able to eat it when they come back, so you're welcome. In addition, despite the depression on the mainland, the sea has not been greatly affected, and seafood is also a good food, especially algae, which grows wildly under the effect of radiation, and although it tastes bad, it can be eaten as a staple food, where we can replenish our food reserves. ”

"By the way," reminded Major Turner, too, "there seem to be ten old, scrapped starships out there, and we might be able to tear down something useful to cover the lack of spare parts." ”

"Good idea, Turner," Risen praised, "I didn't expect that. ”

"We can also have an evening by the sea,:.Relax...... everyone" Another great idea came up.

"Hehe, try to use the starfighter's laser cannon to fish, it's definitely exciting......" Schneier's eyes glowed with gold, what was this guy thinking in his head.

.........

"Then it's decided, the fleet is ready to return to the Peach Blossom Source system through the space jump point." Yao's face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, "Let's go to the beach and have a party." ”
