"Is this a battleship of an alien civilization? It's almost twice the size of the Tiankun, and its speed is far faster than our heavy hammer cruiser."

Friday, June 2046, 6.

summer solstice.

Shenzhou.

In the core command and control cabin, apart from Xu Lei and Xingtong, there are eight other people gathered here, all of them staring at the extraterrestrial civilized warship last photographed by the deep space probe on the screen in front of them. Surprised but also worried about the outcome of this battle.

So that the whole atmosphere seemed very suffocating.

Except for the transport ship Kunpeng who stayed on Mars and did not participate in the battle, the other nine warships of the Alliance are here.

And they are the captains of these warships.

Looking around, you can still see many familiar faces.

For example, he was in charge of the Thunder War on the Azure.

Zhang Jingtong who just took office on the Taiyin.

Speaking of Zhang Jingtong, there is another interesting thing here.

When Binjiang City uploaded large-scale consciousness for the first time, he was included in the awakened mechanical life forms.

It may be that she was so worried about the safety of her granddaughter that she lost control of her body and disturbed the normal spraying process of nano-skin-like materials.

In the end, it was Xu Lei who subdued him.

After checking Zhang Jingtong's past information, Xu Lei found that the other party was also from the army and had participated in many battles overseas, to some extent similar to Lei Zhan, the soldier king.

So it was naturally absorbed as a core member of the Alliance Space Force.

Coupled with his excellent performance in the follow-up training and testing, he was appointed as the acting captain of the heavy hammer cruiser Taiyin.

Although it is an agent.

But in essence, there is no difference between formal and formal.

As long as there are no major mistakes in the follow-up, causing losses to the alliance.

As for Zhang Jingtong's granddaughter, Xiaowen, who is currently living in the moon and Taiyin City, she can be considered to be in the light of her grandfather.

The captains of the few remaining warships come from various backgrounds, basically from inland and overseas.

But they all have a common identity.

That is the mechanical life form.

Xu Lei listened to the words of the captain of the Ark, Balk, but his expression remained calm, and he did not lose his temper because of this.

In the face of a powerful and mysterious alien enemy, it is normal to have fear of the unknown in the heart. Although Balck is the captain of the Ark, he has never participated in a real interstellar war like everyone else, so he will inevitably feel a little panicked.

But that's not to say there isn't good news.

At least there is only one enemy warship.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei's previous judgment was extremely correct.

The enemy uses Pluto to think that it has wiped out all life on Earth. In this case, it will inevitably be negligent, thinking that it only needs to take over this galaxy easily.

In this way, too much power will not be dispatched.

After all, the cost of sailing between two galaxies must be taken into account.

If it is true that a whole powerful fleet is sent here just to take over a planet without civilization, wouldn't it be anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.

Is it too wasteful?

Now the enemy only sends one battleship to the solar system, even if it has a strong combat power, it is definitely a good thing for humans.

As the saying goes, too many ants kill the elephant.

With the strength of a small fleet of the Alliance, it is not necessarily impossible to take this battleship.

But before Xu Lei opened his mouth to mobilize everyone's fighting spirit, Zhang Jingtong took the lead and said: "The aliens only have one battleship. After entering the solar system, the battleship must also slow down, losing the advantage of speed. Then we can close the gap one step closer, and if we attack in groups, we have a great chance of winning."

It is said that ginger is still old and spicy.

For these elderly people who have lived for decades, as long as their bodies are reborn, they will be calm without losing their energy, which is completely unmatched by young people.

Xu Lei was also very pleased to see that Zhang Jingtong had such an opinion.

What Zhang Jingtong said was good.

An alien warship equipped with an antimatter engine can even approach one percent of the speed of light at full speed.

It is incomparable to the heavy hammer cruiser.

Even the main weapon heavy rail gun and the secondary weapon space torpedo launcher alone may not be able to hit the opponent.

This kind of gap is simply a slap in the face.

Was hanged and beaten by an extraterrestrial civilization.

Fortunately, the battlefield this time is not in the vast expanse of space. Entering the solar system, a star system surrounded by eight planets, extraterrestrial civilizations must slow down and fly if they want to land on an earth-star warship.

When the speed of the warships of both sides is on the same level, it will be difficult to control who will die.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Xu Lei did not believe that the power of eight heavy-duty cruisers could not destroy this battleship.

But it is worth mentioning that he did not immediately respond to Zhang Jingtong's words, but let them discuss by themselves first.

Anyway, the truth is getting clearer and clearer.

Subsequent battles with extraterrestrial civilizations will require the unity and cooperation of all warships.

If there is any problem, it is better to clarify it now than if some moths appear during the battle. It is necessary to know that this is a battle that human beings cannot afford to lose.

really.

As Zhang Jingtong's voice fell, other people also started talking.

"Captain Zhang is right. In this war, at least we have an absolute advantage in numbers." Lei Zhan deeply agreed with Zhang Jingtong's remarks, and first added this sentence.

"These aliens look down on us humans, which will be the biggest mistake they make."

"They're going to get a surprise soon."

And Balck was not upset by Zhang Jingtong's words, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly put forward a new suggestion: "In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the battle line to the orbit of Mars, so that the planetary defense system of Mars can be used. Cooperate with us in attacking warships of extraterrestrial civilization."

"This method won't work." Xu Lei shook his head and rejected it without even thinking about it.

Seeing that no one answered, he slowly opened his mouth to explain.

"There is Mars City on Mars. If it is attacked, it will have serious consequences. We must not let the flames of war burn there."

In a certain sense, the surviving population of human civilization is only one billion people. In order to ensure the stability and subsequent development of civilization, there must be no problems.

If the battle line is withdrawn to Mars, then regardless of whether the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations can be destroyed in the end, the city of Mars will probably be affected.

This situation is definitely not what Xu Lei wants to see.

Balck soon realized the problem with his suggestion, and Dang even admitted his mistake: "I didn't think carefully."

The situation has developed to this point, and the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations are constantly approaching the earth star.

It's not good for Xu Lei to waste too much time.

Since no one else has a better plan to discuss, it is necessary to deploy combat orders as soon as possible.

Keep everyone from running around like headless chickens.

Thinking here, Xu Lei immediately made a decision: "All the warships supply all the missing materials, go to the designated coordinates to stand by, and prepare to encircle the warships of extraterrestrial civilization. As for the transport ship Tiankun, they will temporarily retreat to Mars orbit, at most two or three In a matter of months we will be in contact with the enemy."

Due to its own characteristics, transport ships do not have combat capabilities.

In addition, the size has reached a kilometer in length, and it is equivalent to a living target among the small heavy hammer cruisers.

It will definitely be attacked first by extraterrestrial civilizations.

Originally, the role of the Tiankun was to replenish various supplies and ammunition for other warships. After completing this mission, there was no need to stay on the battlefield.

Of course, no one else had any objections to Xu Lei's arrangement.

Afterwards, the short pre-war meeting ended, and all the captains returned to their warships one after another, and immediately went to the designated location coordinates, waiting for the warships of extraterrestrial civilization to enter the area and start encircling them.

The time Xu Lei mentioned was not casual.

In the past, we could only rely on Xingtong to calculate the enemy's arrival time based on known information.

For example, the impact time of Pluto was very precise.

But now this is not the past, relying on his own overclocking status, he can even get the specific time faster than Xingtong.

And when only Xu Lei and Xingtong were left in the core command room of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei ordered again: "Send a few attackers out to see if we can encounter warships from extraterrestrial civilizations, and test them out in advance." Strength."

The so-called attacker was transformed from the prototype of the deep space probe.

The biggest difference is that the Raider carries a hydrogen bomb inside, which can carry out a suicide attack on the target.

In advance, this special product was originally developed to increase the combat power of heavy hammer cruisers, and now it has become a standard configuration of battleships.

But due to speed issues.

Its practicality is far from being comparable to that of heavy railguns.

Xu Lei chose to send them at this time, naturally not to launch an attack on extraterrestrial civilizations.

Just trying to get lucky.

If you happen to encounter them during the flight of the warship of extraterrestrial civilization, then things will become more interesting. Maybe you can have a psychological preparation for their combat effectiveness in advance, so that the battle will undoubtedly be more secure.

Xingtong must have understood Xu Lei's plan, so there was no hesitation.

"Good boss."

Nod your head and respond with a gentle voice, then start executing immediately.

……

Accompanied by the alliance space force entering the state of combat readiness, waiting for the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations, and fighting to the death with them.

At this moment, the people on the moon and Mars are also very worried.

Emotional anxiety.

In addition to the continuous solidarity on the Azure website, there are also many activities organized in the city, wanting to pray for the Alliance Fleet together.

Hope they make a triumphant return.

Completely smash the conspiracy of extraterrestrial civilizations to invade the solar system.

Everyone knows very well that this battle will be about the survival of human civilization.

If the alien planet cannot be stopped, the newly stabilized life will be destroyed again, and no one wants this to happen.

It's a pity that due to his own individual weakness, he can only pin his hopes on the fleet.

On the contrary, the members of the Space Force on Earth and Star are full of fighting spirit. Although they really want to fight with extraterrestrial civilizations, they suffer from no chance. They can only express their envy to those who boarded the battleship.

-

Being in space, the sense of time will be weakened.

Especially for the long-lived civilized life like the pioneers, they don't care about the passage of time.

After their battleship rushed out of the Kuiper belt and destroyed a deep space probe, it has now passed Neptune and Uranus without stopping, and is heading towards Saturn, and it is about to reach the life planet in this star system.

But Bishop Mesti, who is a member of the royal family of the Herald Empire, is a little unhappy compared to when he just woke up.

"Uzi."

"Didn't you say that the civilization in this galaxy has been destroyed?"

"But what I saw was not the case."

"There are still functioning detectors in this galaxy, shouldn't you explain it?"

"Ambassador Herald Uzi."

At this moment, Mesti was sitting on the throne, looking at Uzi standing below, and said these words in a dissatisfied tone.

In the Hierarchical Forerunner Empire, the biggest sin is to deceive your superiors.

This is an unforgivable sin.

Uzi swears that the civilization of the solar system no longer exists, but the warship was peeped by the probe as soon as it entered the solar system, which means that life still exists in the star system.

Thinking of being a member of the royal family but being so deceived by his subordinates, it's strange that Mesti is in a good mood.

at the same time.

Although Uzi in the audience was still standing, his body was already trembling slightly, and his four arms seemed very redundant.

It doesn't fit anywhere.

The fusiform crowns on the heads of members of the royal family will form a powerful constraint on ordinary pioneers, especially at this time when he is under greater mental pressure.

If this matter cannot be explained clearly, the consequences will be serious.

Maybe it's possible to die in another country directly.

In fact, he was also very depressed about this matter. He thought that he had exterminated the civilization of this galaxy, which should be a great achievement, but he didn't expect that he would lose his life before he got any benefits from his boss.

When Main Uzi steals the information of human civilization, the development of human beings in space is still limited to the extent of the space station.

In this case, there is no ability to deal with the double crisis of Pluto.

In the end, apart from the option of extinction, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

What's more, it has been so long since the incident on Pluto, even if there were survivors in the space station at the beginning, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving without supplies.

And how to send probes to the outskirts of galaxies for observation.

Their long lifespan did not deprive them of their IQ, and they were even slightly smarter than humans.

As a large number of images quickly replayed and flashed in his mind, he quickly seemed to think of something, and quickly raised his eyes and explained: "My lord, I know what's going on. The human civilization in this galaxy is above the brain. With a high level of research, perhaps these are the brains executing the predetermined programs at the moment."

Uzi clearly remembered that his plan to steal information was interrupted by the brain developed by this civilization.

Although all life on the planet is extinct, the intelligent brain can still use the energy in the space station to maintain its own program operation.

He was very satisfied with his explanation.

After hearing Uzi's words, Mesti couldn't help being a little silent, as if he was judging the rationality of this matter.

But before he could make a decision, an ordinary pioneer suddenly broke in and immediately reported: "My lord bishop, we found a UFO flying towards us."

"UFO."

Facing the report from his subordinates, Mesti repeated in a low voice, then glared at Uzi, then got up and walked towards the core cabin of the battleship.

Uzi is even more confused about this.

I always feel that this star system is very different from the one in memory.

But he can't be blamed for this.

After stealing the information of human civilization, he hid in the Kuiper belt to transform Pluto, and did not observe human civilization during this period.

For so many years, it is not very difficult for future technology to bring about major changes in human civilization.

In the final analysis, he was too cautious.

Fear of falling into the solar system.

Mainly he is the only pioneer here, if discovered by humans, it is very likely that he will be caught and sent to the laboratory.

At that time, life will be worse than death.

That's why he waited until Mesti came over.

Now, even though he doesn't know what happened to this star system, his crisis is still not resolved at the moment, so he didn't dare to hesitate at this moment, and hurriedly followed up.

……

"It's this kind of gadget again, destroy it!"

In the core cabin of the battleship, Mesti saw the attacker displayed on the space radar of the battleship, and his taupe pupils were full of disdain.

Hitting his battleship with something like this is like hitting a stone with a pebble.

The ordinary pioneer next to the console naturally did not hesitate after receiving this order, and immediately fired the secondary weapon rail gun decisively, hitting the attacker accurately.

As the combat form of the deep space probe, the attacker is very slow except for carrying a hydrogen bomb. There is no possibility of evading the attack of the rail gun, so he can only watch himself completely transformed into a monster in the explosion. The powder disappeared.

The explosive power of the hydrogen bomb is naturally not small on the earth, but it is not so conspicuous in space.

In addition, the attackers were far away from the battleship, so the aftermath did not reach the battleship at all.

And Mesti, who had enjoyed the episode all the way, now somewhat believes Uzi's explanation just now. It seems that only the intelligence brain is left in this galaxy to execute the security program.

After all, the weapons and equipment sent could not threaten his battleship at all. If the civilization in this galaxy still existed, it would not be limited to this level.

Thinking of this, Mesti turned around to look at Uzi, and then said without any emotion in his voice: "I hope what you said is correct, and the rest will wait until this galaxy is completely taken down."

Suddenly, I felt the pressure on my body lighten up.

Uzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he did not forget to compliment him again: "Don't worry, my lord, the civilization in this galaxy has long been extinct, and nothing can be changed by just a brain program."

The attacker was easily eliminated, and the speed of the battleship of the pioneer civilization was not affected in any way.

It didn't take long to officially fly past Saturn.

About to enter the battle zone of Mars.

……

Xu Lei asked Xingtong to send attackers out, mainly to try his luck.

See if you can meet the enemy.

They never expected that their luck was very good this time. One of the attackers successfully encountered the warship of the extraterrestrial civilization. Although it was ruthlessly destroyed, it finally determined the enemy's route.

This will bring great convenience to them.

According to this clue, Xu Lei also readjusted the battle plan and put everyone on the highest alert.

Because the warships of the alliance are all parked in the orbit of Jupiter, the existence of Jupiter can avoid the radar scanning of enemy warships to the greatest extent.

Avoid being spotted by enemies.

I don't know how long it has been.

When the exciting system announcement finally sounded in the core control cabin of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei also immediately entered the overclocking state. He will command this battle and lead mankind to victory.

"The target has entered the attack range, the main weapon is locked, do you want to launch?"

The closer the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations are to Jupiter, the easier it is to find the alliance fleet, and the advantage of the enemy and the enemy will change at that time.

Launching an attack suddenly at this moment might achieve unexpected results.

At the same time, other warships will also cooperate to attack one after another.

Hit the enemy by surprise.

Xu Lei is quite confident about the power of the heavy railgun. Even if the medium-sized battleship has a strong defense, as long as it hits successfully, it can cause some damage to it.

So seeing the target enter the range, there is no reason not to launch it.

But just when Xu Lei was about to give the launch command, Xingtong next to him suddenly raised a different opinion: "Boss, if the Shenzhou launches this attack, then we will also be directly exposed to the enemy's vision, and there is a high possibility that we will be attacked." met with violent counterattacks.”

It can be said that Xingtong never raised any objection to Xu Lei's order.

But this time, the self-awareness she was born with does not agree with Xu Lei's approach.

Because it's too risky.

Now the Shenzhou is safe because it has not been discovered by the enemy, but if it launches this attack, it will become the enemy's primary attack target.

With the defense of the Shenzhou, it cannot be resisted at all.

After all, a single attack from a heavy railgun cannot directly incapacitate a medium-sized battleship. At that time, Xu Lei, including all crew members on the battleship, will be in danger of life.

As a special existence, Xingtong may be able to change his body out of consciousness, but others cannot.

The consciousness is uploaded to the amorphous alloy mechanical body, and the two are equivalent to completing the binding. If the body is forcibly replaced again, the consciousness will gradually dissipate.

of course.

Xu Lei is very clear about Xingtong's worry.

But someone has to do this.

What's more, since he dared to make this decision, he must have a way to deal with it.

"Don't worry, I know about this matter, follow the instructions." Xu Lei did not adopt Xingtong's suggestion, and still insisted on his decision.

You must know that although Xingtong was born with self-awareness, he would occasionally put forward different opinions based on his own judgment and understanding, but he could not forcibly disobey Xu Lei's instructions, so even though he was still a little worried after hearing this sentence, he had to follow the instructions to start the heavy orbit The cannon launched an attack on the warship of the extraterrestrial civilization.

Seeing that the distance to the planet is getting closer and closer, but the journey is getting smoother, Mesti's mood can't help but improve.

But this mood didn't last too long, and was interrupted by the system warning sound in the battleship's core control cabin, which was exactly what happened when an attack occurred.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"The battleship encountered an unknown attack."

"The near-anti-aircraft guns have automatically started to intercept..."
