Chapter 128 Request for Peace Talks
"It's finally here!" Seeing the previous news, Zhang Hao felt a sense of relief.
This kind of waiting day with fear is really uncomfortable. On the one hand, I constantly hope that the other party will come later, and preferably never, but on the other hand, I also know in my heart that the enemy will definitely come, and it will not be too long.
This kind of tangled taste is definitely uncomfortable. Because, this is typical of waiting for someone to beat yourself! And if you are not careful, you will be beaten to death on the street.
Now that it's finally here, everyone has a sense of relief. But soon, tension set in.
Zhang Hao first determined the situation of the information.
The enemy did play a little trick, they did not come directly from the opposite direction, but made a slight turn in the direction of the alien sky.
Of course, this 'slightly' placed on the scale of space is also a deviation of tens of billions of kilometers. Fortunately, Neptune is prepared. The cunning Sufeng Clan still couldn't escape the eyes of the Ocean Group.
Because of the 18-month delay of the Sufeng clan, the monitoring range of the Dayang Group has expanded to 200 billion kilometers away. The deviation of tens of billions of kilometers is completely covered within the error range.
In fact, if it were not for technical problems, the warning range of the Dayang Group could be extended to 700 billion kilometers away.
However, after a long distance, it was discovered that the temporary faster-than-light communication means of the Ocean Group only had an effective distance of 250 billion kilometers. Taking into account interference and other problems, the communication distance is 200 billion kilometers for the time being.
Two hundred billion kilometers is not bad. After all, this is a communication technology developed by Neptune Group itself. For 200 billion kilometers, it takes seven or eight days to take light. And the latest communication technology, after repeated carving, can compress the communication time to less than 3 minutes!
In this way, in terms of short-range communication, it is no longer weaker than the technology on the spacecraft of the Red River civilization. Of course, there are still gaps, but at least this is a completely own technology, and this alone is precious.
According to research, even the means of communication of the Red River civilization were purchased from others. This means of communication is subject to human control.
At this time, the Sufeng Clan's fleet was advancing mightily. But this time, however, the Windswept fleet seems to have learned to be careful, and they have finally shown the caution expected of a pirate civilization.
According to the analysis of the information detected from the front, the Sufeng fleet did not immediately ignite after rushing out of the chrono travel. Instead, they rely on inertia to move forward. Its forward speed is controlled at 0.18 times the speed of light.
If the speed is too fast, it will cause the folds of time and space, and it is easy to attract attention. At this time, the entire fleet of the Sufeng Clan remained silent, silently advancing, like a group of ghosts.
In outer space, it was pitch black, and even if the Ocean Group was prepared, it would not be possible to know the exact number of the other party.
The detector only detects fluctuations in space-time.
It took more than an hour before I finally 'saw' how many spaceships the other party hadβthis more than an hour was the time it took for light to propagate.
Because of the distance, after Su Feng's fleet rushed out of time and space, its infrared radiation propagated for an hour before it was detected by the unmanned spacecraft of the Ocean Group. And then there were some vague effects.
This kind of detection is passive. In fact, it is not possible to actively investigate, that would expose itself.
For the time being, the Ocean Group and the Tian Yuan Star Civilization were relatively lucky, and the fleet of the Su Feng Clan suddenly appeared, and they did not encounter any unmanned exploration spacecraft.
In the space of Tianyuan Star, on the Dawning space base, there are already many people gathered in the communication room here temporarily.
In order to facilitate communication and not be interfered with by the atmosphere, the Ocean Group has set up a faster-than-light communication center in space.
Computers are working frantically at this time, superimposing and restoring infrared images obtained from distant space. Finally, the blurry image is clearer. It's still a little confusing, but at least it's discerning.
This time, two fleets came from the Sufeng Clan. Because the distance is too far, the signs and so on are not clearly visible. However, the shape of the spaceship is the same as that of the previous Hailanbao fleet.
In terms of the number of ships, a fleet has detected 340 warships. The largest is estimated to be around 10 kilometers and the smaller ones are around 3 kilometers
A fleet detected 420 warships, the largest of which seemed to be about 12 kilometers. The smallest one looks like 3 km, too.
All the spaceships are shuttle-shaped, and the shape is very sharp. The ratio of length to height is about 5:1, and it has a beautiful streamlined shape.
Although theoretically there is no resistance in space, the spacecraft can be shaped at will. But in reality, space is still full of particles.
Particles from stars, interstellar space, rays, interstellar dust left over from the formation of the universe, and so on. These things are thin, but when the speed of the ship reaches 0.1 times the speed of light, it still can't be ignored - although the impact is still not too great.
This kind of sharp-shaped spaceship is so distinctive, at first glance it should be the fleet of the Sufeng Clan.
At the current speed of the Sufeng Clan's fleet, it would take about a month and a half for the fleet to reach the edge of the Tian Yuan galaxy. However, it cannot be ruled out that the other party will suddenly accelerate the sneak attack in the middle of the way.
The number of fleets was determined, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not relax, and the commander of the Ocean Group, Murong Shan, closely supervised the situation of all unmanned spacecraft and did not let go of the slightest problem.
However, seeing the Sufeng Clan's fleet advancing so "slowly", Feng Zhiling, who had been observing for a long time on the side, couldn't help but ask: "General Murong, why didn't the other party rush to the front? With such a long distance and such a speed of advancement, they should have thought that it would be exposed." β
Murong Shan smiled faintly: "Do you think they are afraid of being exposed?"
"Huh?" Feng Zhiling was a little stunned.
Murong Shan explained softly, "There is such a saying in tactics, and it is necessary to win in the right way. In some large-scale battles, the emphasis is on dignified and upright operations......"
"Wait, I remember that it was a combination of odds, and the explanation didn't seem to be this. β
"So I'm the military commander, and now I'm the military commander of the entire Tian Yuan Star. And you can only be a representative. Murong Shan's words were very polite.
Feng Zhiling's face flashed with a little anger, and he looked directly at Murong Shan waiting for an explanation. Although you are now the military commander of the entire Tian Yuan Star, you have to make this clear to me. Otherwise, be careful that I bite you!
Murong Shan slowly explained: "The so-called victory with the right combination is an ancient strategic thought, and the time has been a little long, and it is difficult to explain it clearly. But we can explain it in conjunction with current needs.
The first is to coincide. Honestly, confronting the enemy head-on, so that the enemy has no way to play small tricks, everyone puts all the means in the sun.
In the case of determining that you have an advantage, you can use such means to force the enemy to fight in the way you planned, according to your own rules!
This is 'positive', and it can be said that this is a yang scheme. Of course, it's not all.
In the case of absolute superiority, strong pressure on the enemy can cause huge psychological pressure and make the enemy panic all day long.
Secondly, 'positive' is also one's own mentality, which is morale. Only in this way will you not be led by the nose by the enemy.
Only by doing this can we expect victory. β
Feng Zhiling listened to it and felt that it made sense. But that doesn't explain the current state of the Sufeng Clan's fleet. Therefore, Feng Zhiling still stared at Murong Shan without blinking an eye.
Murong Shan continued: "Let's talk about the current Sufeng Clan. First of all, the last time the entire fleet of the Sufeng Clan was wiped out, it would inevitably make them vigilant. Although the news came out at the last minute, I think that the news delivered in a hurry may be chaotic or incomplete. It is not even excluded that some information is lost during the transmission process, or the signal is interfered with.
So, this time, the Sufeng Clan's fleet is going to stay in our outer space for a while, capturing the latest electromagnetic signals from outer space and analyzing us. Even remotely observe us through means such as telescopes.
At the very least, they also need to see if we have suffered a lot here, and if other civilizations and other civilizations interfere here.
When they have a new understanding, they may not attack.
Also, maybe they just want to lure us into attacking and fall into their rhythm. It is the interpretation of 'with the right combination' that I said earlier.
Is this an explanation?"
Murong Shan's gaze swept over Feng Zhiling, and also swept over the rest of the people. This is not just for Feng Zhiling.
"I believe in the wisdom of Commander Murong!" Wang Ruiyang spoke, "Then in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"
Murong Shan continued to smile and said, "You don't have to worry, this is already what we expected. The Ocean Group has been sending electromagnetic information to outer space for 18 months, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Preparations are also made for possible military actions of the enemy.
Now, of course, to tell the enemy that we have found them. By the way, send a message of peace talks and send the prisoners who were caught earlier. Let them wait in space for a while. β
Saying that, Murong Shan commanded the front line from the air, and asked Feng Songjie to contact the other party through open electromagnetic signals.
The unmanned exploration ship hidden around the Sufeng Clan's fleet continues to remain invisible.
However, he said that although Feng Songjie is the new starfleet commander of the Ocean Group, he is still weaker than Murong Shan in terms of military strategy and planning recently. Therefore, Murong Shan is now in charge of the military of the entire Tianyuan Star, while Feng Songjie is still standing still, and he is still the commander of the Ocean Group's starfleet.
As for Dugu Junjie, he is the commander of the United Nations and the Combined Fleet.
At present, half of the interstellar military power is in the hands of the Ocean Group. Everyone is not without opinions, but what Dayang Group has done recently has made everyone unable to say anything. Publicizing the exercises of pure yang, disclosing a large number of techniques, and taking the lead, no one has anything to say.
However, it was said that after Feng Songjie received Murong Shan's order, he immediately communicated to the Sufeng Clan's fleet 200 billion kilometers away through an open electromagnetic signal.
The electromagnetic signal is 'Sufeng's public channel' - everyone has studied Sufeng's ship before, and knows their internal public channel. Therefore, the information of this electromagnetic wave can be heard by all the personnel of the Sufeng Clan, as long as they have communication equipment in their hands.
200 billion kilometers, electromagnetic signals take seven or eight days. But you can afford to wait. Murong Shan believed that the enemy would not wait for a few days in a row. The other party is an interstellar nomadic civilization, and the most important thing as a hunter is patience.
In fact, Murong Shan guessed correctly!
For the next few days, the Sufeng Clan's fleet was still moving forward by inertia. There was no ignition, no activation of the formation, and it seemed that he wanted to hide himself completely. It's a pity that these guys don't know, they are very careful, but they still underestimate the 'native' of Tian Yuanxing!
At this time, in the flagships of the Sufeng clan and Monalo fleets, everyone was in a meeting.
The first master of the Sufeng Clan and the deputy patriarch of the Monaro Clan, Mona Lou Gurung, sat next to him and did not speak, he seemed to be completely immersed in his own cultivation world.
The upper echelons of the fleet, however, are discussing.
This time, there were two fleets, one was the fleet of the Monaro Division, called the 'Alta Fleet', with a total of 437 medium warships, and the second fleet formed by the Bone Division, which was the 'Erskan Fleet' with 362 warships.
Because some of the warships are horizontally aligned, the long-range observations seem to be superimposed, so the number of spacecraft temporarily observed by the Ocean Group is relatively small.
The captain of the Monalo tribe and the Alta fleet was Monalo Ayan, and Alta was the one who created the fleet, but he had already seen his ancestors. But because Arta is worshipped as the god of war, the name has endured.
The captain of the fleet of the Sul Bone Department and the Erskan Fleet is the Sultan Erskan and names the fleet after himself. This is the tradition of the Sufeng clan. This is an honor, a responsibility, and a wordless commitment!
Last time, the Hailanbao fleet of the Bone Department was completely wiped out - to be exact, the core spaceship of the Hailanbao fleet was completely wiped out, and this time the Bone Department once again transferred 362 spaceships, which was a little difficult.
Although the captives said that it was easy for the Sufeng clan to dispatch a million ships, this was about an exaggeration. And the ship is not equal to the battleship. That kind of transport ship is basically a target in space!
Because of the failure of the Sugu Department last time, this time Monalo Gurung, the master of the Monalo Ministry, came in person, so this meeting was held on the flagship of the Monalo Ministry.
The complexion of the bone-e-san was not very good. In fact, the internal struggle for power and profit within the Sufeng clan is serious. A civilization is divided into seven large tribes, and you can understand the struggle for power and profit if you think about it on your toes.
What's more, the war that almost wiped out the clan thousands of years ago made the Sufeng clan begin to split ideologically.
This is the reason why the dispatch of troops has dragged on for so long this time. Everyone is suspicious of each other, who dares to send troops at any cost!
The split of the mind of a civilization is like the schizophrenia of a person. No matter how powerful the body is, it is possible to be dragged into the abyss.
But the patriarch of the Sugu tribe and even the important military commander were arrested, but they had to come to "take a look". If the patriarch is arrested, he will not care, and this clan is afraid that it will collapse. Sometimes there are some things, even if you know that there is a problem, you still have to do it!
Everyone was silent, and the summing signal sent by Dayang Group finally arrived.
"We've been discovered!" was the first reaction of the personnel involved when they received the signal.
