The last human in the universe

Chapter 193: Hide and Seek

When it was confirmed that the enemy had released a large number of satellites, formed a sky net, and ordered many spaceships to leave their berths and start cruising around the space carrier, the way of fighting changed again.

It is obvious that it is unwise and absolutely not advisable to start a direct conflict with the enemy's fleet—even if it is only a small squadron. A fleet has only a few dozen combat spaceships at most.

Apart from being crushed and destroyed, there is no second possibility for the battleships of human civilization.

However, for the alien civilization with the "subhuman legion" as the main combat force, a fleet composed of dozens or dozens of combat spaceships is almost the smallest combat unit, and it cannot be smaller.

"So, next, our goal will turn to the enemy's communication network, reconnaissance network and other strategic auxiliary units. Kill their satellites, make them unable to communicate, unable to search for us, and turn them into blind and deaf!"

This is the strategy that the General Staff had formulated from the very beginning.In order to implement this strategy, the original fighters all carried out drills as detailed as possible.

However, only now that they have truly stepped into the battlefield and are facing the possibility of being attacked by the enemy at any time, can the soldiers really realize how difficult it is to implement this set of tactics.

At this moment, the comet-class spacecraft that destroyed the exposed communication satellite once again entered a random maneuvering orbit.

In the cabin, including the two captains Li Heng and Zhang Ruofei, a total of twelve soldiers looked dignified, and their spirits were extremely tense.

There are at least five screens and more than [-] indicator lights flashing in front of everyone, and a large amount of data glides past quickly on the screens—some of which represent the status, orbit, speed, etc. of the spacecraft at the moment, Some represent the data of the environment the spacecraft is in at the moment, such as the intensity of various radiations, etc., while others represent the state of the enemy.

Every soldier must pay attention to these data at all times, and make an appropriate response immediately in the event of a change.

This kind of quality requirement, in the past, even if people are exhausted, it is still very difficult to do it even if it is shared by ten people.

However, the continuous and uninterrupted genetic modification and optimization covering every human being for a long time has given every fighter at this moment the ability to do so.Just still very tired.

At this moment, the spaceship is slowly moving towards the direction of the space carrier.However, everyone knows that the closer they are, the more dangerous they are.

At any time, there may be a satellite hidden in the dark, observing itself through technology far beyond its own, and then notifying its own coordinates, the enemy fleet at a closer distance will immediately launch an attack.

But this risk must be taken.

"The range is 1 kilometers, the speed is 5.6, and the direction is 32.4!"

"Start the investigation! Get ready for random maneuvers!"

Li Heng suddenly gave a low drink.

"Yes!"

At this moment, the soldiers of the investigation team immediately manipulated the sky survey detection equipment that condensed the most advanced technology of human civilization, and carried out a 360-degree sky survey in this seemingly empty space, which took 3 minutes.

After that, there was no time to analyze the data, and the fighters of the spacecraft control team immediately started a new round of random maneuvers, pushing the spacecraft away from the current coordinate point with a lower propulsion power.

There are two types of detection.This is probably the case regardless of the level of civilization.

One is passive detection, which is to confirm enemy intelligence by receiving radiation emitted by the target.Confirming the enemy's coordinates by detecting the interaction between the plume of the spacecraft and the interstellar molecular cloud is a typical passive detection.The rest, detection of gravitational waves, infrared radiation, radio communication, etc., all belong to this category.

The main point of this type of detection is that one's own side does not send out any movement, but only receives the signal from the target.

The other is active detection. The main type is that one’s own side actively emits various types of radiation and confirms target information through target reflection.The typical way is sky survey radar.For the rest, one's own party emits visible light to illuminate the other party, and finds the other party through the light reflected by the other party, which is also an active detection.

In the process of one's own search for enemy communication satellites, spy satellites, armed reconnaissance satellites, etc., it is not feasible to rely solely on passive detection.Because such small targets hardly release signs that can be noticed by the outside world.Only with active detection can there be hope of locating them.

But this has great risks.Because of the basic logic of active detection, first of all, one's own side releases some radiation first.And this is very likely to be used by the enemy to position itself in turn.

In particular, the enemy's technology is more advanced than one's own, which further increases this possibility.

Based on this, after this active detection, Li Heng had to order the spaceship to leave the current coordinates immediately to prevent the possibility of being discovered by the enemy.

Every active detection takes huge risks, is very troublesome, and consumes the energy of the soldiers.But there is no way.

This time the detection generated some data, and the fighters of the analysis and data team immediately threw themselves into intense analysis.

"No target found!"

This time the risk was taken in vain.This time the effort was wasted.

Li Heng shook his head lightly, but his voice remained firm: "Keep maneuvering, keep searching!"

But before the next exploration started, the soldiers of the observation team suddenly reported a piece of information: "Captain, we have observed that the enemy fleet numbered C-15 is approaching us!"

C-15, this is a set of numbering system compiled by Li Heng and a dozen people.In this, C means that this is a third-tier fleet.It is composed of about 30 combat spacecraft, including a supply spacecraft, a flagship, and an early warning spacecraft.

Because this fleet is relatively close to our side, Li Heng has been paying close attention to its movements.

"Damn it!" Li Heng cursed inwardly.

Obviously, perhaps because of our own active detection before, an enemy satellite hidden in the dark that was not discovered by our own side discovered itself instead.The signal was reported, and the C-15 fleet responded immediately, trying to rush over and kill itself.

"Propulsion power 6%!"

"Yes!"

With the increase of propulsion power, the random maneuvering speed of the spacecraft became faster, and it quickly escaped from the original coordinates.

The C-15 fleet finally arrived at a place about 100 million kilometers away from the original coordinates, and stayed there for a while. It seemed that they couldn't find themselves after searching, and finally there was no movement.

The flagship of the C-15 fleet, a captain of the Bloody Pirates who temporarily served as the fleet commander angrily slapped the table in front of him with his tentacles.

"Damn, how can you run like that!"

At this moment, he was extremely depressed and angry.

Now that the enemy has escaped from one's own search range, it means that the enemy's propulsion power during this period of time is obviously higher than before.Generally speaking, this kind of power boost, and its interaction with the interstellar molecular cloud, is already enough to be discovered by one's own side to locate it.

but……

But at this moment, the star field is a low-density area of ​​the huge interstellar molecular cloud that covers the entire Jagged star cluster!

The material density is low, and the interaction is small, which is more conducive to the enemy to hide his tracks.

On the contrary, because one's own side fights with a fleet as a unit, the total propulsion power is dozens or hundreds of times that of the enemy. No matter how low the material density here is, the enemy can always find and locate itself.

You can't see the enemy, but the enemy can always see you.

The enemy chose this star field to carry out this kind of tactics, it must have been planned in advance!
Angry to angry, depressed to depressed, the captain still had no choice but to maintain the current speed and heading to drift in this piece of space again, hoping that the coordinates of the next report would happen to be closer to him, so that he could go faster. Launch a counterattack and kill the enemy.

"Out of danger!"

"Okay. Get ready, the next sky survey will be carried out in 10 minutes!"

Tens of thousands of spaceships and at least millions of various satellites on both sides of the enemy and us are chaotically moving in this star field, just like playing hide-and-seek.

After failing ten times in a row, Li Heng finally located a satellite.

"Kill it!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers were all excited.An electromagnetic cannon bombardment successfully killed the satellite.

No matter how powerful the electromagnetic guns made by humans are, it is not difficult to kill satellites.

After that, Li Heng made another arrangement.

"Group A, eat immediately, rest, and replace group B after eight hours!"

"Yes!"

The six fighters in Group A left their posts immediately, quickly finished their meal and solved their personal problems, and then tied six elastic ropes to their bodies to ensure that no matter how they maneuvered, they would not hit the wall in this weightless cabin. , Immediately closed his eyes and fell into sleep.

Although it is on the battlefield, although it is dangerous, although it is shaking all the time, when it is time to sleep, you must fall asleep within a few minutes. This is just the most basic quality of a human warrior.

The process of concealment and search, fight and flight is still going on.

Li Heng knew that it was not just his spaceship.In this star field, there are thousands of spaceships and hundreds of thousands of comrades doing the same thing with him.

After "drifting" for some time, another satellite came into Li Heng's sight.So Li Heng reaped the result again.

But the consequences this time caused were beyond Li Heng's imagination.

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, a bright flash suddenly appeared in an area that should have been empty.It seems that there is a fleet ambushing there, and it is rushing towards our side at this moment.

Li Heng knew that at this moment, there were even electromagnetic cannon projectiles in flight.

But... now the distance between the two sides is too close, relying on random maneuvers to escape the enemy's search range, it is probably too late.
