The last human in the universe

Chapter 188 The Lone Wolf
The original purpose of this mobilizing expedition was to capture those manned spaceships, capture the intelligent life of that weak third-level civilization, and then use them to form the scientific system of the third-level civilization.

This purpose, presumably the enemy can also speculate.

Then, one's own side must be concerned about some of the enemy's methods, such as hiding the combat spaceship behind the manned spaceship and using the manned spaceship as a shield.If that's the case, it can be tricky.

A manned spacecraft can transport hundreds of millions of people, how many scientists are there?If you break it, you will lose a lot.

In order to deal with this situation, the expedition committee and Commander Lihua, including the staff, formulated no less than dozens of combat plans, and the training of the soldiers has never stopped since the expedition began.

Now, the enemy has actually completed the separation of the armed forces and the main body of the fleet...

Well, it's really useless to think so much.Just treat the enemy as crazy.Anyway, no matter how you look at this matter, it is beneficial and harmless to your side.

……

Time flies by.In the blink of an eye, the distance separated from the main body of civilization, and a year passed.

On board the "Comet"-class battleship No. 3021, Li Heng, who was on duty in a sober state, ate a bag of standard nutritional meals, complaining in his heart that although this kind of food can provide all the nutrients needed by the human body, the taste is just like After a short rest, he came to the exercise equipment and started today's recovery training.

All combat ships, regardless of class or size, do not have gravity.Living in this environment for a long time is extremely harmful to the body.In order to keep fit, he needs to wear elastic ropes and exercise on various equipment for two or three hours every day.

During this process, the automatic remote detection equipment is always in operation to ensure that any changes in the outside world can be discovered immediately, and then reported to him.

After training, Li Heng started the next work.

He first came to the supply warehouse that was welded to the spaceship at the top of the back of the spaceship's shell, and counted the stock of various supplies.Then start to check whether the various systems of the spacecraft are working normally.After it was over, he came to the slightly narrow cabin of the spaceship, before the twelve hibernation capsules that were fixed to the bulkhead of the spaceship and lined up in a row.

There are twelve hibernation cabins, eleven of which are in operation.Eleven of my comrades in arms are sleeping in it at this moment.

Li Heng woke up a month ago.He hasn't talked to anyone for a month now.

However, the reason why everyone is not awakened is because the supplies are limited and must be used sparingly.

"It should be soon." Li Heng thought silently: "Before the hibernation started, the enemy's spacecraft was still about a year away from us. Now, a year has passed, and they are coming soon."

At that time, the comrades in arms will wake up and join the battle with themselves.

After finishing today's work, Li Heng was free.He put on the spacesuit again, opened the hatch connecting the spaceship with the outer space, and entered the interstellar space.

At this moment, the universe is vast and there are thousands of stars.At this moment, apart from the deep sound of the spacesuit itself running, there was no other movement.

It seems that he is the only one left in the universe.

But... maybe it's not just a feeling.Rather, it is somewhat true.

Because he didn't know where the closest companion who was still awake was.At the same time, he also knew that those companions who were awake would never know where he was.

The year-long random drift almost caused these spaceships to completely deviate from the previously established routes and directions.At this moment, no one knows where they are except the controllers of each spaceship.

Different spacecraft cannot communicate with each other, but maintain almost absolute radio silence.Because the communication between spacecraft will have a greater probability of revealing one's own position.

A spaceship is like a lone wolf, quietly dormant and waiting in this dark universe, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

Li Heng was floating in space, quietly staring at the direction in which the main body of civilization was going away.But he only saw a patch of stars in that direction, and couldn't see the shadow of the fleet at all.

At this moment, the civilization main fleet is at least billions of kilometers away from him.

At this moment, such a small spaceship does not have any ability to self-produce materials, has limited energy and material reserves, does not have the ability to travel between stars, and is completely unable to rely on its own strength to break free from this sea of ​​stars. "Abandoned" is here.

There are thousands of spaceships "abandoned" here together with the spaceship he is on.

After watching and thinking for a long time, Li Heng returned to the cabin.

Such days lasted for more than a month.Until one day, the equipment that has been tracking the location of the enemy's giant space vehicle reported a piece of data to Li Heng.

This data means that if the giant space vehicle still maintains its current route and acceleration, then after about 23 days, it will pass by about 600 million kilometers away from its current lurking position.

The relative speed is about 500 kilometers per second.

"Time is up."

Li Heng immediately pressed the wake-up button on the hibernation cabin.About an hour later, the eleven companions opened their eyes in a daze.

"Recovery training immediately. Prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Although the body is weak and the mind is chaotic, the comrades still responded subconsciously.

After a few more days, the comrades-in-arms fully recovered to a healthy state.Under such circumstances, the most suitable fighter for this spaceship has finally arrived.

The war machine that had been dormant for more than a year finally started.Under the control of the soldiers, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.The driving crew is already in place, and the observation team, calculation team, emergency repair team, attack team, early warning team, commander, etc. are also ready.

Following Li Heng's order, after the great technological development in the Rakai 9352 galaxy, the newly developed electromagnetic gun vibrated silently, ejecting dozens of high-speed electromagnetic gun projectiles.

This is just the first attack.After that, the second, third, fourth...

For each attack, according to the previously input parameters, the electromagnetic gun control system will modify the advance data to ensure that the projectiles of one's own side can hit the enemy as much as possible.

This newly developed and equipped electromagnetic gun can fire projectiles at a speed of thousands of kilometers per second.Coupled with the relative speed between one's own side and the enemy fleet at this moment, the speed is about 1400 kilometers per second.

At this speed, each projectile with a mass of only 0.6 grams has a kinetic energy of about 60 kilojoules, which is roughly equivalent to the energy released by the explosion of 140 kilograms of TNT explosives.

And such projectiles, in this attack, released nearly a thousand.

Also, these projectiles are specially designed for the current space weather environment.This allows them to be affected as little as possible by interstellar dust, radiation, etc., and to ensure that the forward trajectory remains as accurate as possible. In this way, the hit rate can be greatly improved.

Now, like when they were still in the solar system, because they were separated by tens of millions of kilometers, it was impossible to launch electromagnetic cannon projectiles directly from the planet to attack the enemy planet, which no longer happened.

Immediately after this, the pilot crew took action.Under their control, the comet-class battleship began to accelerate in the same direction as the enemy's giant space vehicle at a rather slow speed.

At this moment, these electromagnetic cannon projectiles are still in flight, and have not actually hit the enemy spacecraft.In fact, based on the current distance between the two sides, it will take about four days to know whether it has hit or not.But people don't stop here and watch the bombs.

At the tail of the spacecraft, the engine once again ejected a hot and bright plasma beam, and began to push it forward slowly.

Although based on data calculations, at the current distance, with the jet power of the combat spacecraft engine, only if the power is above 10%, there is a slight probability of being discovered by the enemy remotely, but the pilot crew still carefully controlled the power. about 5%.

Slow acceleration doesn't matter.As long as you can change your own coordinates and not be locked by the enemy, that's enough.

It is a rule that must be followed in guerrilla warfare.

Li Heng knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for his small comet-class combat spaceship to fire only about a thousand electromagnetic cannon projectiles to cause too much damage to the enemy.More pessimistically speaking, it is doubtful whether it can hit.

But he doesn't worry about that.

Because he knows that at this moment, the hundreds of thousands of "lone wolves" lurking in this star field have already made up their minds, even if they die here, even if they leave their lives in this vast space and never die. Comrades who are unable to return home and must complete this strategic mission, those thousands of combat spaceships must have sensed the arrival of this enemy spaceship.

At this moment, these thousands of spaceships are independent of each other, not connected to each other and not under the control of each other. Even the friendly forces do not know the location of the spaceships. They must have released tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of electromagnetic artillery projectiles.

These electromagnetic artillery projectiles must have enveloped every possible position of the enemy warship during this period of time.

And, after this launch, each spaceship will change its position, continue to hide, continue to lurk, and continue to freely attack this powerful enemy warship.

This is guerrilla warfare.
