Chapter 58 The Silent Contest in Dark Space

Chapter 58 The Silent Contest in Dark Space
In the blink of an eye, all 13 of the 12-star pirate ships exploded into space fireworks.

Ghost King, Skeleton Lord, Black Impermanence, these chilling names all dimmed with the fireworks.

Only one Yan Luo was left alive.

After sending the message, Yan Luo gave up meaningless resistance.

His mood at this time is very complicated, despair, anger, fear, and so on.

He glanced at the three-dimensional image on the main control screen, and saw that the terrifying black cube had turned its muzzle.

But after waiting for a few seconds, the other party did not fire. Then, a message from the other party was received on the public channel: "You used high-power communication just now, did you report the funeral to the master?"

Yan Luo was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Since you ask that, you must already know the truth behind the water shortage of Gold Mine Island. As the agent of Yunmeng Continent, you have broken the tacit agreement between the two continents and used over-limit weapons in violation of regulations, so you are not afraid of being attacked." To the battleship sanction?"

"An over-limit weapon? I see."

As early as when the new weapon was modified, Lin Yuan considered all the consequences of using the weapon.

Although all the accessories used are in line with the authority, the final function is indeed too powerful.

He also thought about accidentally provoking a battleship, and made preparations in advance.

Yan Luo sneered: "Hmph, I'll be waiting for you in hell."

Lin Yuan was too lazy to talk to the dead man, so he said to Zheng Wan, "Let's finish him."

Zheng Wan had already locked onto Yan Luo's spaceship, and immediately fired, turning the opponent into a ball of space fireworks.

Lin Yuan thought quickly.

Obviously, the master behind the opponent is the Xuanwu Continent, more precisely, the military of the Xuanwu Continent.

Now that the funeral has been reported, if the other party responds, warships from the Xuanwu Continent will come to deal with the Hope in a short time.

However, the performance limit of innate materials determines that no matter how strong the Hope is, it will never be the opponent of the active battleship. Even if a piece of tofu is carved out, it can't touch the iron block.

Therefore, most of the countermeasures he prepared in advance have one purpose, to avoid direct confrontation with the battleship.

After thinking for less than two seconds, Lin Yuan began to make a series of countermeasures.

Step one: ask for help.

First remote access to the main control computer of the new star, adjust the high-power antenna of the new star, aim at the direction of the gold mine island, and send a message for help.

"Lieutenant Colonel Li Xuanli, this is the new star of Hope Water Harvesting Company. I successfully collected 2500 tons of clean water. On the way back, I encountered 13 Star Thief spacecraft intercepting them. I wiped out all of them, but the last spacecraft was intercepted by us When it was destroyed, the captain of the other party said that I used over-limit equipment and would be sanctioned by the warship. I guarantee that the Nozomi did not use any out-of-class parts. My purchase record on the Gold Mine Island is completely in compliance with the authority, which you can easily verify. So, I ask Goldmine Island to protect me from battleships."

In order to ensure that the other party could receive it, Lin Yuan sent the message three times in a row with maximum power.

After calling for help, it was time to wait for a reply.

During this period of time, Lin Yuan was not idle.

He contacted the space locator and inquired about the nearby large man-made celestial bodies.

In order to avoid accidental collisions, any artificial celestial body, whether military or civilian, will back up its real-time position in the space locator.

Soon, Lin Yuan found his target.

The sword-testing stone military base belongs to the Xuanwu Continent. It is about 0.2 astronomical units away from the red agate star at this time, and it is the nearest military base to them.

Thinking back to the direction that the spacecraft sent the signal before, it happened to be the star field where the Sword-Trying Stone base was located.

Therefore, if the Xuanwu Continent really wants to sanction him, there is a high probability that the base will do it.

Asking Li Xuan for help is a countermeasure, but he can't pin all his hopes on Li Xuan, he must consider the worst case.

That is, in order to avoid conflict, Yunmeng Continent treated him as an abandoned child, ignored his plea for help, and let him face the battleship sanctions alone.

How should he react if the worst happens?

He immediately made a second move: camouflage.

For a straight-line distance of 0.2 astronomical units, the optical signal needs to travel 100 seconds to reach it, but it took only 30 seconds for him to make a series of actions until now.

In other words, at this moment, the message sent by the star thief has not yet reached the Sword-Testing Stone base, and the other party does not know that the interception plan has failed.

If he could hide himself before then, he would be able to escape the sanctions of the Sword-Testing Stone Base with a high probability.

Here comes the question, how to hide?
This will come according to the action steps of the space military base.It just so happened that Lin Yuan was quite familiar with the operating mechanism of the military base.

He activated a feature modified on the ship: the dark sky.

The name is very high, but it is actually a very simple trick.

After the function was turned on, a black curtain was stretched around the Nova Star and Nozomi Nova at the same time.

The curtain is very thick, and the outside is pure black, which is completely integrated with the dark space background.Interlayers are excellent thermal insulation materials.The inner side is a mirror-like coating, which can reflect back 99% of the infrared rays radiated by the spacecraft.

In this way, in the two frequency bands of visible light and infrared, the two spacecraft are equivalent to 'invisibility'.

This trick is to deal with the tracking of the military base's super sky survey mirror.

Under normal circumstances, if the opponent is a low-value target and still cannot be located after enabling the sky survey mirror, the military base will most likely give up follow-up actions.

It's not that the other party's skills are exhausted, but that the cost of continuing to find someone is high, and there is no need to go to war for a small goal.

However, Lin Yuan couldn't guarantee that the other party would definitely give up.

If the opponent wants to continue, there is only one way, which is to send warships to follow up on the spot.

Therefore, he had to guard against the sword-testing stone.

How to prevent this?

In fact, it is the interstellar version of hide and seek, the battleship is the hunter, and they are the beasts.

Whether the beast can escape the hunter's pursuit depends on the ability to hide.

Lin Yuan stared closely at the star map, and quickly calculated the possible routes of the battleship in his mind.

"If you take the most economical orbit, it will be about 0.8 astronomical units. But the opponent is a warship, and the biggest requirement for military strikes is speed, so you can only take the fastest route."

Although the straight-line distance is 0.2 astronomical units, no matter what spaceship, even a battleship, it is impossible to fly in a straight line.This is neither economical nor by any means the fastest.

The really usable waterway must go through extremely complex calculations.

Lin Yuan quickly calculated, estimated all the data to the highest, and finally came to the conclusion that if the warships were dispatched from the Jianjianshi base, they would arrive at the battle scene at the earliest in 67 hours, and then follow the traces left by the battle scene Track all the way.

These 67 hours are their hiding time.

'So, how many warships will the opponent dispatch? '

Lin Yuan thought about it and thought that three ships might be dispatched.

Finding someone in the vast interstellar space is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. If the needle is still good at hiding, it will be even worse.

Relying on a battleship to find someone has a very low success rate.Generally, there are three ships, one for combat, one for information support, and one for comprehensive supply, which happens to be a standard deep space combat team.

At this moment, Xinxing received a reply from Li Xuan.

"The Council of Gold Mine Island has confirmed that the Hope is completely legal. In theory, you will not be hit by any warships. But in order to ensure the safety of Qingshui, the chief executive has authorized me to drive a warship to protect your safety. Please change immediately Current route, use a new route, and inform only me of this route. Below is my secret communication channel."

"Whoo~~~"

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't the worst situation.

He quickly calculated in his mind, and found that even if Li Xuan set off now and took the fastest route, it would take 74 hours at the earliest to meet them.

Therefore, if the sword-testing stone really dispatches a battleship, there is a high probability that it will arrive before Li Xuan.

Of course, everything is Lin Yuan's prediction, and no one knows what will really happen.In order not to worry Zheng Wan and Liu in vain, Lin Yuan did not reveal the result of his estimation.

On the spaceship channel, he smiled and said, "We'll be escorted by warships soon."

Zheng Wan shrugged: "This is the first time in my life to enjoy this kind of treatment,"

Liu took a long breath: "Today is really exciting."

He observed the killing of the Star Pirates by the Nozomi the whole time. He was both excited and a little scared, and felt like witnessing history.

Lin Yuan's thoughts are still spinning like electricity, and the brain of hope in his consciousness is running at high speed.Soon, he calculated a complex and delicate new orbit.

He entered the orbit data into the main control brain of the Nova Asterisk: "Don't rush to be happy. The matter is not over yet. Stay, and you adjust the course according to my data."

"Understand~"

Stay and do so immediately.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Stay, how much propellant is left on the Xinxing?"

Over the past few dozen hours, Nova and Hope have gained extra speed thanks to smuggled propellants.And after that, to deal with possible warship strikes, propellants are also needed.

"There are about 23 tons left."

"23 tons, very good."

Lin Yuan glanced at Hope again. The inner compartment was full of propellant, and he carried an extra propellant tank with 56% propellant left in the tank.

The power is also very sufficient.

And as long as the propellant is enough, he dares to face all challenges, even if the opponent is a battleship.

Zheng Wan at the side felt something, and asked softly, "Lin Yuan, what are you worried about?"

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's not a worry, it's just in case."

About 20 minutes later, Xinxing received another message from Li Xuan.

"Lin Yuan, you have to pay attention. I just received a message from the observatory. About 5 minutes ago, a deep space operation team was dispatched from the Jianjianshi base. The specific route is unknown, but if it is coming for you, then at 76 In an hour, it will reach the combat area, and then it will track it all the way at a speed of more than 260km!"

Lin Yuan guessed right again.

From this point of view, Xuanwu Continent believes that they are high-value targets and deserve to be taken seriously.

And the ultra-high speed of 260KM makes people's heart beat faster just by listening to it.

Before, Lin Yuan drove Hope to crush opponents at a high speed of 60km. If the battleship came, it would be Hope that was crushed.

Zheng Wan's face was pale.

Stay and no longer speak.

Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "76 hours, it's a lot slower than I expected."It seems that I still overestimated the warship technology in this world. '

Assuming that the deep space performance of Li Xuan's Jade Bird and Xuanwu battleships are at the same level, then according to the new route, Li Xuan should join them in 81 hours.

There is still a time gap of 5 hours.

If you want to delay beyond 5 hours, you need to let the opposing warship find their position later.

Relying on the few tricks currently used is not enough.

The sky survey mirror of the military base may not be able to see their position, but after the warship arrives, it can judge the possible position of the spacecraft based on clues such as the ion jet left in space and the access records of the locator.

When the time comes, the opponent will rely on the high mobility of the battleship to search for it one by one, and they will always be able to find the real body of the Nova.

Therefore, he had to make more responses.

He contacted the Nova: "Stay, turn off the active locator of the spacecraft, turn off the engine, the energy core operates at the minimum power, and the radio remains silent. Just slide forward by inertia! After 40 hours, you can turn it on and adjust the course."

"Yes!"

After the engine of the new star was turned off, the hope that Lin Yuan was driving did not catch up with it and meet it, but hid behind the red agate star and waited.

After waiting for the new star to fly away, he said to Zheng Wan: "Next, we will take another route, the spaceship will accelerate at full speed, and take the initiative to meet Li Xuan."

The New Asterisk's maneuverability is too poor, and it can only rely on concealment to escape tracking.

Hope's power and speed are sufficient, and it can join Li Xuan's blue bird battleship before the battleship catches up.

After the rendezvous, they should be safe, unless the Xuanwu Continent wants to go to war directly.

And in this way, they not only protected the Hope, but also covered the Nova.

Zheng Wan immediately complied, and after the adjustment, she asked softly, "Can we return to Gold Mine Island alive?"

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to go back alive."

 An update today.
