Chapter 37: Spectating the Battle
However, this time he didn't stay at Apple Star, he just passed by halfway and continued south.
Apple Star is located at the former station of Pioneer 5, and the farthest area of Pioneer 5 is now further south, nearly 20,000 light-years away from Apple Star.
To the south of Apple, there are two fixed shipping lanes to the two planets of life closest to Applestar in the Exploration Area.
The main gathering places of the pioneers in the Pioneer Star Field are the living planets, and most of them are active in the vicinity of those living planets.
In the vicinity of the Qingping Star for thousands of light years, it is the earliest exploration area today, the valuable resources have basically been dug up, and there is no development prospect, Fang Chen's plan is to first enter the deep exploration star field to go around several large pioneer gathering points to see which side is better to develop.
There are no recorded coordinates, and the first time I passed, I could only fly slowly.
Although there is a fixed channel, the distance is too far, and no matter which force in the Pioneer Star Field has such a strong ability to maintain such a long channel, so there are a lot of wild monsters along the way.
Fortunately, at this time, Fang Chen already had two T5-level destroyers and 8 T5-level frigates, coupled with his super talent, his combat power was already quite strong, and the ordinary wild monster group was not his opponent.
Even if you encounter that kind of large group of wild monsters, you are not afraid, and you can always run if you can't beat them.
Killing all the way leisurely, time passed unconsciously, one day in the fifth month, Fang Chen, who was commanding the fleet to surround and kill a small group of pirate gunboats, suddenly paused, with a strange expression on his face.
There were countless hair-thin white lights in his pupils, which slowly condensed into a streamer.
The second eternal light has been condensed.
This thing is a 10-year condensation, but it's not 10 years, so it's not a condensation on his twentieth birthday.
Looking at the magical eternal light in front of him, Fang Chen rubbed his head, although the thing was good, it was not needed for the time being, and none of his subordinates were qualified to use this precious eternal light.
"It's still slowing down!"
But there is no way, and at this stage, I can't find qualified subordinates.
Although a large number of talents graduate from the colleges of the major forces every year, the high-quality ones have been picked away before they graduate, and most of the rest are leftovers, and the occasional high-quality fish that slip through the net are also robbed by all parties, or if there are any defects, it will not be his turn at all.
"Boom!"
One after another, the missiles dragged their long tail flames through the firepower nets formed by the near-fire resistance and bombarded a cruiser, and the terrifying power of the explosion tore through the thick alloy armor and threw it into the icy starry sky.
The cruiser immediately returned to color, and a row of dozens of missile launch bays on the hull of the ship opened, and one after another deep-space missiles flew out with a long tail flame, turning around in the air and rushing towards another battleship more than a thousand kilometers away.
On the way, a large number of frigates quickly converged, and the close defense system spewed out long lines of fire intertwined into the net, and many missiles crashed into the fire net and were torn apart by the shelling bullets of the ultra-fast close defense guns.
But there were also quite a few missiles that passed through the net of fire and hit another cruiser behind the frigate.
There was also a cruiser on the other side of the cruiser, but the main module of this cruiser was not a missile module, but a modified hangar module, and a large number of space fighters flew out of the hatch and rushed in an array to the enemy ships in the distance.
The space fighters were very fast, and they quickly swooped down on the battlefield and sparled with the swarm of space fighters released from the opponent's cruiser.
When Fang Chen came out of the hyperspace channel, he saw a scuffle in the starry sky less than 10,000 kilometers away from the entrance of the channel.
It's not a war between the Pioneers and the creeps, but between two teams of players.
These are two quite strong teams, each with four or five cruisers, a dozen destroyers, and more than one hundred two hundred frigates.
Judging from the wreckage of the battleships floating in the starry sky around them, the two sides have been fighting for a long time, including the main cruiser with two and three sunk on both sides, four or five destroyers, and dozens of frigates.
There were quite a few people like him, there were several small fleets moored not far from the entrance of the hyperspace channel, and Fang Chen also ordered the fleet to lean over while carefully observing the battle.
The way the cruiser fights is different from the destroyer and the frigate, because the cruiser is already a large battleship and has different weapons.
Weapons such as missiles and space fighters are only available on cruisers and battleships, and destroyers are generally not.
It's not that it can't be configured, theoretically the destroyer also has a missile module, and it is enough to replace the giant gun module in the bow with a missile module.
It's just that the specifications of the destroyer are not large, if you change to a missile module, there is not much space to store missiles, as we all know, the missiles are very large, much larger than metal shells, which will lead to a low combat endurance of the destroyer.
The same is true for space fighters, fighters are larger than missiles, and the destroyer can't put a few space fighters in the hangar module at all.
Cruisers are different, when battleships are too expensive, cruisers, which are also large warships, have become the main battleships of most small and medium-sized forces, and some powerful weapons can be deployed on cruisers.
These two teams are either enemies or competitors, and even if so many people watch the game, they are happy to fight.
Battleships exploded into fireballs, and from time to time a destroyer worth billions was sunk.
The two sides did not have the slightest intention of retreating, they could not get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, even if the shield was broken and the armor was torn, they would not retreat, and they fought until the last moment, Fang Chen was stunned from behind, and couldn't help but send a communication to the cruiser in the center of a fleet not far away who was watching the battle:
"This brother, I just came here, do these two teams have some mortal enmity to fight so fiercely?"
Soon the communication was connected, revealing a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, and he replied:
"These two teams are two medium-sized teams that are active in the vicinity, and they have been fighting for a medium-sized gneiss deposit for more than ten years, and they have to fight almost every two or three months, which is the norm."
"Medium-sized gneiss deposits....."
Well, Fang Chen can understand.
Mineral deposits belong to mines that can be constantly refreshed and will never be exhausted, and they can be continuously repaid, and whoever occupies it is a continuous cornucopia, and no one will give up.
Then the middle-aged man said:
"I just heard from my brother that you just came over, are you going to come here to play or come here to develop? Have you joined the team? ”
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I haven't decided where to develop yet, I'm going to go around those living planets first, and then decide where to develop."
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"I am Zhou Shaohang, the squadron leader of the seventh independent squadron of the embers team, our team is mixed near the Divine Judgment Galaxy, has its own star harbor, and there are more than a dozen Zhong'an systems that can be safely mined, with your strength, brother, you can become an elite member, and there is no problem in being a squad leader."
