Chapter Twenty-Six: The Strange Jellyfish Ship
First Detachment, USS Red Banner.
"Report, gravitational probes?" In the fleet command room, an operations staff officer asked.
I saw Duan Xiong think for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "After the gravitational detector is turned on, it is likely to be positioned in reverse, if the enemy's detection technology is more advanced than ours, we may have been exposed, but for now, we have not suffered an ambush attack, which proves that we are still hidden." The fleet slows down and flies a small number of drones out to reconnoiter the target planet. ”
"Yes!" The operational staff quickly conveyed the order.
Soon, the speed of the first squadron slowed down, and a part of the drones were released on the main battleships of each squadron, flying over the fleet and heading towards the Tumen star at high speed.
Tumen Star synchronous orbit, Tigris is highly nervous observing the Tucker fleet that has just completed all the jumps and is undergoing fleet reorganization, the twenty giant whale warships are located in the center of the entire formation, and it seems to be the main battleship of the Tucker fleet, serving as the flagship in its fleet. Other ships were small, jellyfish-shaped ships, medium-sized ships like giant caterpillars, and turtle-like ships with huge rocks on their backs.
"Commander, the enemy does not seem to have discovered the presence of a detachment." In the command center of the Tigris, Deputy Commander Green observed the reconnaissance footage of the drone and said.
"I hope so, but our drones have been lost one after another, and our position must have been exposed, so I decided not to wait and fire directly at the enemy, what do you think?" Alexander thought they were exposed, but the Tuckers ignored them because they had detected that they only had one warship, and that the enemy might be trying to land on the planet. In this case, it is better to show the sword directly, and just send a warning signal to the detachment.
Sergei and Green glanced at each other and pondered in their hearts. Seeing that the two hesitated, Alexander continued: "We can still confuse the enemy by firing first. ”
"I agree, so be it." Sergei sighed and said, at this time, there is no good way, the enemy has a full hundred and fifty battleships, and there are only eighty in a detachment, if the enemy is allowed to take the lead, it will be an unimaginable result. Besides, once a detachment of enemy troops exchanged fire, the fourth and fifth squadrons that were dormant in Tumen could also take the opportunity to assemble and find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. In this way, if not all the enemies can be annihilated, at least they will be evenly divided.
"Agreed!" Green is not nonsense, the so-called deputy commander, he has always respected the opinions of his two colleagues, and usually takes charge of some specific affairs in person, and rarely makes any big decisions.
"All ships, ready for battle!" Alexander suddenly shook his spirits and immediately gave the order.
The Tigris suddenly turned on its engines and its guns began to recharge urgently. With the main engine pushing at full strength, the Tigris slowly sailed out of the Tumen orbit, and then the attitude vent began to work, adjusted its course, and turned around in the direction of the Tucker fleet!
At this moment, probably the Tuckers also discovered that the Tigris had moved, and saw the spacecraft in front of the fleet firing directly at the Tigris from a long distance, at this time, the Tucker fleet was only less than two hundred kilometers away from Tumen, and their ray weapons could already carry out this long-range attack.
As soon as the Tigris adjusted its attitude, it suffered a round of squadron-level laser strikes, but fortunately, with the efforts of the engineering department, the shield generators of the battleship have all been urgently repaired, at this time, the energy shield has been charged to the peak, and this round of laser strikes was directly deflected by the energy shield and disappeared into the vast starry sky.
Seeing that the blow was ineffective, two jellyfish-shaped ships came out of the Tucker fleet and flew towards the Tigris.
"It's weird, you see, it has one eye." Sergei saw that the top of the jellyfish-shaped spaceship was flying, and there was actually an eye, which kept closing it.
"Laser weapons can't penetrate our shields, so why don't you send this? That must be able to penetrate our shields. Alexander smacked an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and analyzed. Get on the missile! Try it first! ”
"Yes! Missile lock, launch! ”
I saw that on the belly of the Tigris, eight missiles were launched in succession, flying towards the two "jellyfish ships". In the blink of an eye, I saw that the two enemy ships instantly released countless white smoke, and in an instant, a huge space filled a huge space, and it looked like a huge white cloud appeared in space. In the clouds, a series of explosions appeared, and then everything was calm. Gradually, the dark shadows of two jellyfish ships appeared in the clouds, flying towards the Tigris, and there were less than a hundred kilometers left!
"Quick! The main cannon fires! "Alexander and the others are no longer surprised.
The Tigris's main guns quickly locked onto the target, and a thick white light pierced through the universe and shot at the enemy ship flying at high speed.
"Report, the enemy ship has disappeared!" Fighters suddenly reported. Enemy ships suddenly disappeared from conventional detection radars.
"What?" Alexander almost thought he had misheard, how could it be, could it be faster than the laser? No way!
"Quick, turn on the gravitational detector and see if there are any gravitational fluctuations in space!" Sergei reacted quickly and hurriedly commanded.
After a while, the detection results found that, sure enough, at the location where the enemy ship had just disappeared, there were faint spatial fluctuations, and there were fluctuations of the same frequency directly above the Tigris.
Everyone was shocked, and Alexander hurriedly shouted: "Prepare to resist the blow!" As soon as the words fell, I saw that in the holographic projection, above the ship, two jellyfish-like spaceships appeared, which were strangely staying about a hundred meters above the Tigris.
"What are they going to do?" Alexander was a little strange and didn't look like he was going to attack.
Sergei also frowned, constantly repudiating various assumptions in his heart.
Soon, the screen of the command center flashed, and an unknown signal appeared.
Everyone's hearts sank, and they came again?
"Parse now!" Alexander said.
The War Division quickly sent the analysis to the screen, which was an audio signal, a sound of about twenty seconds.
"Ahhh......h Purr ...... Bu ......" The intermittent voice came out, and everyone listened attentively to this strange sound.
After the audio was played, Chief of Staff Sergei looked at Alexander with a pensive face and said: "This is very similar to the sound of young beasts on the earth, not as dull and pleading as last time, it sounds more like the kind of sound made when hunting." ”
"Hunting?" Alexander wondered.
"Yes, when the young beasts that have just become adults are learning to hunt under the leadership of the mother beast, the cry of the fox and the fake tiger." Sergei's description was so concrete that everyone in the command center nodded in agreement.
"Hunting?" Alexander looked up at the ship and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
