Chapter 287: The Bioship
Due to the different ways of sailing, it was impossible for the two fleets to merge and head to Baal before the battle, and they had to agree to meet at Mandeville Point, which was closer to Baal in the system.
When Adam's Lord of Tyrone jumped into the galaxy, he saw that the fleet led by Quaron was already here.
Not even in a state of navigation, but in a battle array.
"There is still a little benefit to navigating with subspace means." Quarlen's influence appeared in Adam's sight, "We came two suns in advance. ”
"It's a solar hour earlier." The navigator behind Quaron reminded him.
Only then did Adam know that the Imperial fleet had traveled through time.
Since there is no time in subspace, there are some strange things that can happen when using subspace to navigate, such as appearing in the target system earlier, or later.
There may even be people hundreds of years ago who encountered a subspace storm and suddenly appeared hundreds of years later.
"This kind of time crossing sooner or later is uncontrollable, and uncontrollable equals bad." Adam said.
"Of course." Quarlun also admitted, "God Emperor forbid, we are only a sun hour early. ”
Adam nodded, and instead looked at the Tyranid Creatures fleet in the system.
As before, Adam, as the captain of the ship, was able to see the Lord of Tyrone and everything in the galaxy directly from a third-person perspective.
When Adam intentionally takes a closer look, everything in sight zooms in.
The Tyranid Zerg Fleet must have observed the Imperial Navy that appeared a solar time ago, but they didn't make any moves, and were still congregating around Baal to occupy orbit.
"Our orniths can't detect them." Qualun on the communication video glanced at the subordinate in charge of detection, "You guys probe." ”
Adam nodded, and the scanning array was immediately activated, and the detection wave quickly spread throughout the galaxy.
There are a total of 21,000 Tarzan biological warships, which is much less than the intelligence says.
Although Barr has been in a state of disappearance, Adam still got information about Barr, and these information were all told to him by Qin Mo.
In Qin Mo's mouth, the Tyranid Zerg would have at least forty thousand or so biological warships, and if there weren't that many, they must have broken down some of the battleships.
Although there are only 21,000 ships at the moment, the number is far larger than the fleet of Tyrone and the Imperial Navy.
"Share the scan results." Adam ordered.
The crew responsible for operating the scanner immediately shared the results with the Imperial fleet.
The video of Quarren was quickly found by a servo skeleton with a long string of parchment hanging from its jaw.
Quarlen took a quick look at the parchment.
It's all about the structure of the Zerg fleet.
There are a total of fifteen thousand frigates in the Tyranid Biological Fleet, which are called the Heroic Peak frigates in the database of the Tyrone Star Sector.
Adam himself didn't know why the Tyrone Star Zone, who had never been in contact with the Zerg, had data on the Zerg bioship, but it did.
These frigates are divided into two types according to their armament.
One is a strangler with tentacles, and the tentacles of this biological ship are as flexible and powerful as the predatory tentacles of insects in nature.
The other is the Corruptor type, a bio-captain with an acid cannon that fires acid that corrupts adamantite.
The two types of Majestic Peak frigates surround the large creature ships in the Zerg fleet, just as the frigates on the side of the Imperial and Tyrone fleets will also be next to the large ships.
In addition to the Majestic Peak frigate, there is also the Kraken.
There is also a distinction between the strangler and the corroder, but there are two main types: the hunter and the firepower.
The Hunter has pincer-like organs that can be used to devour objects, while the Firepower has a biological cannon.
There are a few sub-species in addition to the main species, though they are few in the mob fleet.
The Kraken surrounds the most central mothership of the Zerg fleet.
The mothership is as large as a battleship, and there is not much information on the scan report, but it is highlighted.
The light cruisers in the Hive fleet are called Cruisers, while the regular cruisers are called Razorheads.
They are larger and differ in the same type as frigates, with a total number of three thousand.
The larger biological warships in the fleet are called Devourers, which are equivalent to battlecruisers, but also differ in type, with a total of 2,000 units.
The rest is a variety of functional bio-ships, such as the Horned Whale Ship, which can guide fleets to travel faster than light.
After reading the scan report, Quaron was a little surprised, because the Tyrone Star Sector gave these biological warships no different from the Empire.
Those biological warships are actually more like oversized bugs than battleships, and the Empire is divided into frigates, cruisers, heavy cruisers, and so on according to their size and role...... This is also consistent with the Tyrone Star Sector.
Information about the Tyranid Zerg is not common in the Empire, especially the type and name of the biological battleship, and it is intriguing that the Tyrone Sector has never been invaded by the Zerg but knows them well.
Quaron pushed the servo skeleton aside and watched the creature fleet outside the bridge while discussing with Adam what to do next.
"What do you suggest?" Although Quaron clearly had the right to command, he still planned to discuss it with Adam, after all, he did not know much about the warships of the Tyrone fleet.
"My advice is to leave the galaxy right now." Adam said, "Rationally we should think of this operation as a reconnaissance and think about it in the long run, but Barr probably won't be able to insist that we come back." ”
"Correct." Quaron also felt that it was time to evacuate, but the existing fleet strength was the largest Void Combat force that the Empire could put into it in this time.
The Empire can come up with a fleet that can suppress the swarm fleet, but the problem is that these warships are scattered all over the territory, and it may be hundreds of years before they gather together.
If it weren't for the fact that the places frequented by the swarm fleet would have lost contact with the Empire, why would they be in such a hurry now.
If they had to fight, both Quarren and Adam could only think of one way, and that was to find a way to take out the mothership, as long as the mothership was destroyed, the entire biological fleet would be out of control.
When facing the Zerg, the decapitation tactic never goes out of style.
"Will your Iron Planet come over?" Quarlen asked.
"No, it won't." Adam recalls that the Celestial Engine is being built, and the original planetary structure is not perfect, so letting it participate in the Battle of Cadia is a duck to put on the shelf, so this time the Celestial Engine did not come.
However, the Tyrone fleet set off with another cruel thing, and that was the Orbital Dockyard.
The Orbital Dockyard is not as large as the Celestial Engine's satellite structure, but it is also loaded with a variety of powerful weapons arrays, and has manufacturing and maintenance functions that the Celestial Engine does not have.
At this point, the orbital dock is at the rear of the fleet.
I went shopping for clothes in the morning, and I sent out what I had written first, and there will be more later
