Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 405 Encountering an Enemy Ship
Lin Xiaoting was only responsible for arranging the battleships to provide cover. As for how Yang Yi used this operation, he did not ask, and Yang Yi did not explain much.It's not that I can't trust Lin Xiaoting, but it's not necessary.Besides, if someone settles accounts after the fall, Lin Xiaoting can still shirk his responsibility with "ignorance".Although all the troops from the third war zone were used, the military headquarters was the boss, and all nine theaters had to obey the command and dispatch of the military headquarters.You must know that the warships and legions in the nine theaters all belong to the Federation, and they all serve the Federation during the war, at least in terms of law. The theater command has no right to mobilize troops without authorization, let alone arrange combat missions for troops.

Although these regulations are mostly empty paper, they have never been really implemented. After all, the commanders of the nine theaters are all important members of the military department and can directly issue orders to the combat troops, but the regulations are written in black and white. As for the matter, even if Zhan Ruilin stepped forward, it might not be able to settle it.Lin Xiaoting is only in charge of arranging the breakout operation, and has no direct relationship with Yang Yi's actions, so he can easily shirk it when the time comes.

With everything in place, the operation went according to plan.

It was originally a secret operation, so Yang Yi and the others didn't make a big deal of it.When the small battleships arranged by Lin Xiaoting set off one after another, the "Xinghai", which was disguised as a scout ship, also left the space port of the Third Theater Command, and followed the large force to fly out of the home galaxy.

It's been a long journey.

Although in peacetime, a small warship can leave the home galaxy with only one space jump, but now is a time of war, direct space jump will cause obvious space fluctuations, and all jump routes are cut off by the enemy, the risk of jumping is too great .

To be on the safe side, all battleships were able to sail to the outer reaches of the home galaxy in a normal way, that is, near the orbit of the outermost planet Acarius, and then decide the space jump route according to the actual situation.It's just that for the vast majority of warships, it takes a lot of time to collect and obtain the necessary parameters for space jumps, especially the coordinates, before they can safely perform space jumps.

Obviously, this is a hell gate.

In addition to the need to delay a lot of time, no matter what method is used, even if it is passive detection equipment, as long as the space parameters are collected and obtained, it will inevitably cause interference to the space, and the battleship itself is the source of interference, which will affect the surrounding space and can be detected by the enemy. Discover.

Prior to this, almost all warships trying to break out were intercepted at this time.

Obviously, this time is no exception.

Although he hoped that all warships could break through the encirclement smoothly, Yang Yi knew very well that the more than 100 small warships sent by Lin Xiaoting might be wiped out.

But it's no use being sentimental.

Two days later, the "Xinghai" arrived in the orbit of Acarius.

This is a giant planet, and it is the outermost planet in the home system.Although it is huge in size, it is of little value to the Human Federation.The point is, this is a single planet with no moons, and giant planets are made of liquid hydrogen, making it impossible to build a base on their surface.Although hydrogen is a very important resource for many long-distance spacecraft, that is, water can be synthesized with oxygen, and water is the most critical material for long-distance voyages, but the most indispensable thing in the universe is hydrogen, and oxygen is present in many planets. It's not scarce either.When they first came to their home galaxy, the Human Federation built a factory near the Acarius star to extract hydrogen to serve the long-distance spacecraft.It's a pity that after the full popularization of original energy equipment, this space factory revolving around the Achilles star lost its value.Although the Human Federation once planned to build a military base based on the site of the factory, it was never implemented.The main reason is that the cost of building a military base here is too high, and just transporting various materials and equipment is a huge expense.

For thousands of years, the planet was rarely disturbed.

The last time a human battleship came here was 1000 years ago, during the Battle of the Lighthouse Star, Xiao Wentian once led the fleet to fight the Silicon Demon fleet here, and won a decisive victory, forcing the Silicon Demon Alliance to enter the home galaxy The previous attack on the lighthouse star kicked off the offensive and defensive battle of the lighthouse star.For more than 1000 years since then, no warship of the Human Federation has appeared near Acarius.

After sailing to a place about [-] kilometers away from the Acarius star, the "Xinghai" entered the orbit.

Although the Acarius star is not of much value, as a giant planet, it seriously interferes with the surrounding space and serves as an excellent cover.

Next, it is still waiting.

Although Yang Yi asked Allen to control the speed of "Xinghai" and arrive at the same time as other warships, other warships need time to determine the space parameters.

Of course, for the "Xinghai", this is not a problem at all.

As the most advanced battleship of the Weaving Star Clan, the "Xinghai" is equipped with a set of extremely advanced space jumping devices, which can make space jumps without restriction, and can also determine its own space parameters.When he came to the vicinity of Acarius, Yang Yi made Allen ready for the space jump.Although according to the plan, the "Xinghai" will perform space jumps together with other warships, at least until the other warships have determined the space parameters and are able to perform space jumps, but as long as there is a need, the "Xinghai" can perform space jumps at any time , to leave the home galaxy, that is to break through the encirclement circle set by the Silicon Charm Alliance outside the home galaxy.

For Yang Yi, the waiting time passed very slowly.

When the patrol ship appeared, the "Xinghai" had already been near the Acarius star for about ten hours.

Hearing the alarm, Shen Chengwen and Otis rushed over.

Unlike Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Otis didn't waste any time. To be precise, both of them are using their precious time to improve their abilities.According to Shen Chengwen's arrangement, the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade participating in this operation will be in groups of five, and they will conduct combat training with the female warriors arranged by Otis, and find out the correct way to fight against the strong.Of course, Otis and other female warriors can also learn a lot of practical experience from the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade.In addition, this kind of direct confrontation training can also enhance the understanding and trust between the two sides.Although the female warriors are all very powerful, the Weaving Star Clan has formed an alliance with the Human Federation, so obviously they cannot keep the soldiers of the Human Federation out of the battlefield.If we have to fight side by side in the future, then establishing a relationship of trust at this time will definitely have great benefits.

Of course, there is no need for Yang Yi to ask about such trivial matters.

When the two came in, Yang Yi looked back, and his eyes fell on the projection screen in front of him again.

It is a patrol ship, or a patrol ship of the Silicon Magic Alliance, not very big, but a patrol ship is a small battleship, far inferior to a capital ship, and it is impossible to build it as huge as a capital ship.Like the Galactic Alliance, the Patrol Ships of the Silicon Magic Alliance are mainly used to perform reconnaissance and security missions, and they do not have strong combat effectiveness.To put it simply, after discovering the target, what the patrol ship has to do is to report the situation immediately, not to engage the target. Naturally, it does not need too much combat power, all it needs is speed and communication equipment.Although patrol ships are useless in frontal combat, they are of irreplaceable value in other places.

"Major?"

"How about it?"

"Even if a sneak attack is launched, the chances are not very high, there is only a probability of less than [-]%."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't say anything more, and Allen also closed his mouth tactfully.

Shen Chengwen was very puzzled, and looked at Yang Yi not quite understanding.

"I asked Allen to analyze whether we are sure to destroy the patrol ship before it sends out a signal." Yang Yi looked back at Shen Chengwen and Otis, and said, "Obviously, we can only wait patiently. That is a ship Ordinary patrol ships, as long as they are not too close, they will not find us."

Otis nodded, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant.

"Just wait like this and do nothing?" Shen Chengwen asked.

"I have already told Allen to prepare. If there is no other way, he will take the initiative to attack, and then perform a space jump to leave this ghost place."

Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, you should know that if we make a space jump in advance, our whereabouts will be exposed, and we will even be targeted by the nearby main fleet." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "So we can't do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Now We can only wait patiently, hoping that the patrol ship is only conducting routine patrols, and will leave soon, and will not search the low-orbit area carefully."

"I hope so." Shen Chengwen muttered.

Otis sighed to herself, and prayed to herself.

Although the "Xinghai" has advanced performance and is equipped with the most advanced stealth equipment of the Weaving Star Clan, as long as the patrol ship gets close enough, it can detect the space interference generated by the "Xinghai", thus discovering the "Xinghai" ", at least know that there is a small warship near the star of Acarius.

Of course, this probability is very low.

Acarius is a giant planet, and its low-orbit area is more than ten times its volume, and a patrol ship certainly cannot search the entire low-orbit area in a short period of time.If this patrol ship is only here for routine inspections, and has searched the low-orbit area before, it will not be redundant.Under normal circumstances, this patrol ship would not even enter the orbit of Acarius, and would fly away from nearby.

Perhaps, this is just a chance encounter.

Of course, Yang Yi and the others hope so.

The question is, is there such a coincidence?

Although the Silicon Charm Alliance has dispatched tens of thousands of patrol ships to monitor the home galaxy, but for a star system, and it is the largest star system in the northern four districts, [-] patrol ships are not many at all.Spread these patrol ships at equal distances, and the distance between two adjacent ships is more than [-] million kilometers.Normally, it takes about ten days for a patrol ship to fly back and forth, but Yang Yi and the others have only been here for ten hours.

If it wasn't a coincidence, the patrol ship came to the vicinity of the Acarius star in a targeted manner.

If so, luck would not be so bad.
