Chapter 66: Strategic Deception
The distance is 10 million kilometers, and the size of your own unmanned exploration spacecraft is small, even if the opponent's technology surpasses you, it is unlikely to be discovered by the opponent.
However, it will be extremely difficult for you to observe the other side. After all, compared to the distance of up to 10 million kilometers, the opponent's spaceship is also very small.
However, Chen Yue didn't think about finding out the opponent's fleet clearly. It is enough to get some overall, general information.
It was this information that made Chen Yue discover that something was wrong.
By measuring the jet power of the spacecraft's tail flame, Chen Yue found that the spaceships in this fleet were all small and medium-sized spaceships, not even a large spaceship, let alone a super-large spaceship.
Whereas...... A civilization that migrates races, when it comes to interstellar migration, doesn't have large and super-large spaceships?
A civilization that is more advanced than itself must have tens of billions of people in its civilization, right? Even if the alien human body structure is different from that of humans and has some particularities, then billions, or even hundreds of millions of people, must have them, right?
So many people, just on these small and medium-sized spaceships?
Can you sit down?
Besides, without large and super-large ships, what about the resources needed to sail?
Interstellar space is empty, and it is impossible to get any supplies.
Based on this information, Chen Yue could already determine that the previous statements of this fleet that "came for peace" and "gathered some resources and left" were absolutely false.
Further, since the fleet had deceived itself in the first place, could they still have good intentions towards themselves?
This is also doubtful.
Chen Yue sneered in his heart: "Small and medium-sized spaceships...... I'm afraid most of them are warships, right? With so many warships, they came to my galaxy without my consent, and they deceived me...... Are you trying to paralyze me, and then take me down without blood? ”
The comet-class battleship built by Chen Yue was the largest and most powerful in battle, and the longest point was only 300 meters. But civilian spacecraft, such as immigration spacecraft and large transport ships, can easily be built to a length of 1 kilometer or more.
Compared with civilian ships, warships are generally smaller in size, and this is a law summed up by Chen Yue in practice. Chen Yue believes that aliens cannot be an exception.
Since this fleet was full of small and medium-sized spaceships, Chen Yue could only think that they were all warships.
"As long as there is the slightest possibility of peace, I don't want to fight and kill."
Chen Yue sighed in his heart: "But if you are not good, then I have no choice but to fight with you." ”
At this moment, Chen Yue had already made up his mind to start a war.
After making up his mind, Chen Yue became more enthusiastic about this fleet that claimed to be the Mosoti civilization. He negotiated with the Mosoti civilization more and more frequently, repeatedly discussing every detail of the cooperation process, and entangled in every specific gain or loss.
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Mosoti Civilization Fleet, after careful consideration, we have a slight disagreement on the pricing of the 'Integrated Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Efficient Cooling Device'.
We believe that in deuterium-tritium fusion, a more efficient cooling device will indeed help to increase the overall power, but this will greatly increase the cost of the entire fusion reactor and increase the difficulty of production. Based on this, the value of the device is not as high as you claim. We believe that a 3.6% price reduction on top of the price you have proposed is a more appropriate price.
Further, we fully agree to the mining and refining of nickel ore, methane ore and nitrogen compound-related minerals to be carried out by us as the final product. However, you need to know that we are limited to the current level of technology, and the cost of related mining activities remains high, if you insist on reducing the price, we need you to provide some new technologies and processes that can reduce costs......"
The Seventh Fleet of the Mosoti Civilization. Mo Zhuo took a cursory look at the latest message sent by Chen Yue and shook it off rather boredly.
"This civilization is really ink, and every little thing has to be entangled repeatedly."
One of the deputy commanders said with a smile: "This proves even more that civilization attaches great importance to this cooperation." It seems that they completely believe our words, and they are waiting for the cooperation to start and exchange minerals for technology. ”
If it weren't for the complete belief in his own words, how could the other party be so serious, so serious, and so solemn?
Murdra smiled, "Then make them a little happier." Inform the negotiating team to surprise them with a concession of 3% on top of the original plan. ”
"Yes."
The deputy commander took the order and left. Murdra stood in the main control room, watching the image of the yellow star on the big screen.
He said to himself, "Let you be happy first." But...... The current happiness is all in advance. Later, let you repay it with grief. ”
Time passed slowly. In the repeated pulling and negotiation, most of the details of the cooperation have been negotiated. The sailing speed of the Mosoti civilization fleet has also been reduced from a high speed of 30,000 kilometers per second to less than 1,500 kilometers per second at this moment.
At this moment, it is still about 200 million kilometers away from the orbit of the outermost planet. In less than three months, you will be truly in this star system.
During this time, through the release of spy equipment, Murdra observed frequent and large-scale fleet movements in the solar system. It seems that the civilization that calls itself human is nervously doing a defensive mission.
This is normal. If this human civilization was so defenseless against a civilization that was completely unfamiliar to the past that it would have been strange to Murdra and even suspect that it was a trap.
Moreover, the scale of the opponent's fleet mobilization is also normal. According to overall calculations, the opponent has a total of about 20,000 warships, which is also in line with the development process and technological level of the opponent's civilization.
"When our fleet actually enters the system, the dust will be settled."
Mo Zhuo thought leisurely.
At this moment, suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the ship. Mo Zhuo stood up, his three eyes full of solemnity.
"Don't mess around! Report what's happening! ”
A staff officer's voice rang into Murdr's auditory organs in a panic.
"Commander! The fleet's radar scanning system found that in front of our fleet's route, there were a large number of small objects suspected of interstellar mines, the number of which was too large to estimate! In addition to the interstellar mines, there are a total of about 10,000 spaceships, suspected warships!
Due to the distance between the two sides is too close and our speed is high, it is impossible to dodge, there is no way to dodge! ”
