Chapter 535 Intelligence Analysis
Galactic year 3.

In the Polaris area of ​​the solar system, at a distance of 652 AU from the sun, the attacking fleet is flying rapidly. At this time, 25 days have passed since they left Herik Planet Fortress, and 40 days have passed since the Explorer lost contact.

"Commander Zhang, good news." Deputy Commander Titov floated over and said.

Zhang Fubo replied indifferently: "Any news from the Explorer?"

"Exactly, this is the neutrino communication we just received." Titov happily handed the report to Zhang Fubo.

Zhang Fubo took it and looked it over, and after a while he ordered: "The enemy has been confirmed, and it is indeed a member of the Dark Beast civilization. The Explorer is fine now, we are ready to fight, and report the relevant situation to the command."

"I've already reported it," Titov replied hastily.

"Is there any new order from the High Command?" Zhang Fubo asked.

Titov quickly replied: "Not yet, the high command told us to continue the mission, be careful."

"Let's have an internal fleet meeting."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

As more and more information came back from the explorer, Zhang Fubo felt more and more that this dark beast civilization was a difficult enemy.

He focuses on three pieces of information: "quantum communication shielding", "dark energy cannon" and "dark energy missile".

Among them, on the information of "quantum communication shielding", Zhang Fubo found that calculated according to the speed of both parties, the current distance between the dark beast civilization fleet and the explorer is between 420 and 430 astronomical units, but the quantum communication of the explorer is still the same. Without recovery, in this case, there are only two possibilities.

The first is that the quantum communication shielding range of the dark beast civilization is very large, exceeding 430 astronomical units; the second is that the dark beast civilization has the technology that can directly paralyze the quantum communicator.Either way, it's not a good thing for the league.

The "dark energy missile" or "dark energy projectile" is not very threatening to the warships of the Human Revolutionary League, and can be reached through the double defense of the strong magnetic field shield and the condensed matter shield.

The remaining "dark energy cannon" is something worthy of attention. The dark energy cannon seems to be a purely high-concentration dark energy attack. This attack is different from dark energy missiles or dark energy projectiles mixed with positive matter. Not only the speed Fast, and hard to guard against.

The dark energy beam emitted by the dark energy cannon can only be detected by gravitational waves, and its speed has reached an astonishing 23% of the speed of light. Although it is much slower than the laser cannon, it is definitely very deadly in close combat.

The explorer was hit by two dark energy beams, and had to discard that part of the material contaminated by dark energy. However, the explorer also tested some weaknesses of the dark energy shell, such as the very short range, which can only be increased by 2 to 3 times. For targets within the astronomical unit, the dark energy beam will be exhausted very quickly beyond this distance, and it is estimated that the longest range will not exceed 5 astronomical units.

It seems that we can't get too close to the fleet of the dark beast civilization, and we have to fight at a distance of more than 5 astronomical units, Zhang Fubo thought silently.

Lu Yaodong, Andrew, Ito Kenichi and others of the three squadron commanders of the assault fleet entered the holographic conference room one after another.

"Everyone is here, let's make a long story short." Zhang Fubo sent the relevant intelligence materials to everyone.

Titov had already read the information, so he said first: "The distance between us and the other party is about 6600 astronomical units. Judging from the current speed of both sides, it is estimated that after about 220 days, the two sides will be 5000 astronomical units away from the solar system." Areas near units meet."

A simulated star map marked the positions of the Dark Beast civilization invasion fleet, the Explorer, and the confrontation fleet, as well as the next estimated route. Humans were in blue, while the Dark beast civilization invasion fleet was in deep red.

"Commander Zhang, we need to pay attention to the other party's communication interference. We must formulate several sets of preparation plans in advance. If the quantum communication is interfered by the other party, we must be prepared." Kenichi Ito reminded.

Others thought and took notes.

"As for the emergency plan, the deputy commander Titov is in charge." Zhang Fubo ordered.

Titov nodded: "Leave it to me."

"Judging from the current situation, the other party should have found us. In this case, we can only choose to fight head-on." Lu Yaodong also put forward his own opinion.

Everyone nodded. This is obvious. When the technical gap is not very large, it should take about the same time for the two sides to discover each other's existence. In this case, there is really no need to engage in sneak attacks. Because there is no need.

Zhang Fubo and others are not sure that they can approach each other quietly. After all, things such as holographic invisibility and wave-absorbing coatings are very easy to achieve for a second-level civilization. A gravitational wave detection or neutrino detection is enough. It can be cracked, so there is no need to do useless work such as sneak attack.

"We must pay attention to the attack of the dark energy cannon. If it is hit by this ghost thing, the condensed matter shield will not be able to withstand it. What do you think of this dark energy cannon?" Zhang Fubo asked.

Everyone thought hard, Lu Yaodong thought for a while and replied: "Since the opponent's range is limited, we will attack outside the range, at worst, use a large-scale gravitational bomb."

"This is a plan." Zhang Fubo nodded and recorded it.

Kenichi Ito reminded: "I don't think it's that simple. Since the other party thinks that we are the remnants of the Sous civilization, nearly 2 years have passed. I don't think the dark beast civilization has no way to prevent gravitational bombs."

"It makes sense, Xianyi continues." Zhang Fubo raised his hand to signal him to continue.

Kenichi Ito thought for a while and replied: "If I were a dark beast civilization, I would definitely study gravitational bombs and the defense methods of gravitational bombs these years. Judging from the experience of the explorer, the other party has not used gravitational bombs for the time being. There are two possibilities, one is that the dark beast civilization has not developed a gravitational bomb; the other is that they are deliberately showing weakness."

"Continue." Zhang Fubo said while taking notes.

"If there is uncertainty in gravitational bombs, then they must have a way to defend against gravitational bombs, otherwise they would not know that we have gravitational bombs and come to us." Kenichi Ito analyzed.

"Then what do you think of their defense method, Xianyi?" Zhang Fubo asked.

Kenichi Ito touched his chin and said after thinking for a while: "To defend against gravitational bombs, you must either have a light-speed spacecraft or a super-light-speed spacecraft; or you can find the gravitational bomb in advance and clear the gravitational bomb; ; or it can interfere with the activation of the gravitational bomb, these are the four methods I can think of at the moment."

"The first type of spaceship at the speed of light or beyond the speed of light can be ruled out." Lu Yaodong crossed the first possibility on the holographic note.

"The remaining three are all possible." Andrew said with a headache.

"The Institute of Gravity and the Institute of Condensed Matter Materials have done experiments, and the NN232 substance can resist the gravitational chaos with gravitational fluctuations between ±5, so the dark beast civilization may have a way to resist the gravitational chaos field." Kenichi Ito continued.

"Interference is also possible. After all, the dark beast civilization has quantum communication shielding or destruction technology." Lu Yaodong also continued.

"As for targeted destruction, the dark beast civilization may have the technology to detect gravitational bombs, and the destruction can also be achieved through laser cannons or dark energy cannons." Andrew added.

Zhang Fubo nodded in satisfaction. The opinions given by everyone are very important for the next strategic arrangement.
