My science and technology museum

"Congressman Xu, it's great that you came here. To be honest, I really don't have a backbone in my heart."

Alliance Space Command.

Inside the battleship's core control cabin.

After seeing Xu Lei arrive successfully, Commander Nat of the Third Fleet could be said to be very excited, and the heartfelt joy could clearly be seen on his face.

Because there is nothing that can be done about it.

Although there is a battleship stationed here, the total number of battleships cannot be compared with that of the solar system defense ring.

Although his goal is very firm, he will never take a step back.

But he is also worried that he will not be able to resist the fleet of the Pioneer Empire and put the solar system in complete dire straits. This is something he absolutely does not want to see happen.

The main solar system defense ring has indeed achieved good results, but it cannot stop the actions of the Pioneer Empire fleet.

If the other party is determined to attack planetary cities such as Titan, it will be difficult to have a suitable plan to stop it.

So it is no exaggeration to say that during the period of time when he received Xu Lei's order, his heart suffered unprecedented suffering.

He even considered resigning as commander of the Third Fleet.

Fortunately, his worry did not last long. At the critical moment, Xu Lei drove the Golden Crow warp-of-light spacecraft to the headquarters.

This undoubtedly gave him a shot of Valium.

Even the confidence is much stronger.

Although the power that Xu Lei can use is very limited, for some reason, it seems that as long as Xu Lei is by his side, all difficulties can be overcome.

At this time, Xu Lei's attention was focused on the screen, determining the location of the enemy fleet.

After hearing Nat's words, he couldn't help but feel a wry smile in his heart. Facts have proved that it was the right thing for him to rush here as soon as possible.

If Reunat really leads the Third Fleet to stop the Pioneer Empire's fleet, the situation will become very bad, and it may even lead to the loss of the advantages gained previously.

Therefore, in this situation, Xu Lei did not answer Nat's words, but just analyzed the data given by the space radar on the screen and said: "With the location and flying speed of the Pioneer Fleet, it will take at least ten days to reach our defense line. , we don’t have much time left.”

At the same time, there is inevitably some fear in my heart.

It can be seen that the Pioneer Empire fleet is determined to attack planets with civilizations, and has no intention of slowing down the entire process, otherwise it would not be possible to reach Saturn so quickly.

If humans hadn't mastered the warp space engine and built the light-speed spaceship Golden Crow, he would definitely not have been able to arrive this time.

It is impossible to imagine what will happen by then.

After all, in Nat's current state, there is basically no chance of winning if he fights alone.

Xu Lei's words obviously touched Nat's heart. He immediately took over the words and echoed: "Who can say otherwise? The speed of the battleship owned by the other party is far beyond that of our heavy cruiser."

"What's the situation with the fleet now?"

"Currently, a total of twelve heavy cruisers and the battleship at our feet have been deployed, but it will be very difficult to fight against the opponent's four battleships." After hearing Xu Lei asking about the deployment situation, Nat Naturally, there was no hesitation and he immediately explained in detail.

It's just that the tone was obviously lacking at the end.

Although he learned from Xu Lei that the enemy's fleet currently only had four battleships left, there was still a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.

On the face of it, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

Assuming that the alliance's battleship can contain one of the opponent's battleships, the remaining heavy cruisers can be easily taken away with only a few neutral particle cannon shots.

By then, Titan will have no barrier, and it will even be possible to attack the Titan Fortress directly from space.

Xu Lei also knew the situation of the Third Fleet. After listening to Nat's report, he pondered for a moment and then said: "It seems that we can only rely on Titan's defense force this time."

It is worth mentioning that Titan is the latest planet developed by humans.

Its defense system is definitely much stronger than that of the Moon and Mars. In addition to a large number of heavy rail guns in orbit, it also includes various weapon defense systems on the surface of the planet.

Under all the launches, even medium-sized battleships would never dare to resist.

In this way, plus himself, he could barely block three enemy battleships, making them unable to forcefully break through the defense line and launch an attack on Titan.

Unless they intend to die together.

However, based on his understanding of pioneer civilization, no individual should wish to die, especially a bishop-level pioneer who is a member of the royal family.

The original Misti is the best proof.

After all, the higher your status, the longer your life span.

As long as there is any chance, I believe they will not choose to seek death on their own.

In this case, hope is placed on Lei Zhan.

If they can get rid of the damaged battleship as soon as possible and arrive here in time for support, then no one can judge what the final outcome will be.

But at least the alliance's chances of winning will be greatly improved.

As a lot of thoughts quickly emerged in his mind, Xu Lei relaxed a little after thinking about this.

And began to actively change the topic.

"What's the current situation on Earth Star? Is there an atmosphere of panic?"

Because at this point, the situation is basically a foregone conclusion, and there is no other better solution. The only thing that can be done is to wait.

Waiting for the arrival of the Herald Empire fleet.

So might as well take your mind off it for a while.

You must know that the strength you can exert in a calm state is much higher than when you are nervous.

His move was also to ease Nat's mood.

Otherwise, if this tension is still maintained, there may be unfavorable misjudgments when the battle actually begins.

Nat obviously didn't think too deeply about this, and always reported the truth truthfully when faced with Xu Lei's questions.

"You can rest assured on Earth Star's side."

"Everyone showed great unity in facing the invasion of the pioneer civilization, and the number of people who signed up to join the battle continued to increase."

"We all believe that mankind will definitely win the final victory."

Perhaps because of the proximity to the Earth Star, Nat was quite concerned about the situation there. When he talked about it, he seemed to be infected by this cohesion, and his originally gloomy face finally put on a smile.

"That's good."

After listening to Nat's words, Xu Lei nodded and murmured softly.

Judging from what Nat said, the situation on Earth is basically as he expected. Affected by the anger and hatred towards the Pioneer Empire, the people did not have much panic about the invasion, but were more hopeful. Being able to join in the battle and personally kill the enemy to avenge the compatriots and their families.

The stability of the rear area is also equivalent to solving a big hidden danger.

In this way, they can confidently and boldly fight to the death with the Pioneer Empire fleet until they win the final victory.

Since there were still about ten days before the arrival of the Pioneer Empire fleet, Xu Lei began to recharge his batteries after he and Nat basically determined the specific plan for the battle and how to deal with emergencies.

Wait patiently for the final showdown.

at the same time.

Earth Star.

Just as Nat said, at this time, banners supporting the Alliance fleet can be seen everywhere in major cities on the planet.

Many people spontaneously took to the streets to fight with the fleet on a spiritual level.

It is no exaggeration to say that just by walking outside, you will be infected by the surrounding atmosphere.

I just feel the blood boiling in my chest.

In addition, with the advantage of quantum network communication, the battle situation of the solar system's defense ring also quickly appeared on the Azure website.

After learning that the Alliance fleet had destroyed two enemy battleships, he was so excited that he frantically expressed his inner feelings.

So much so that he completely forgot that the defensive ring of the solar system was destroyed and the enemy fleet was heading towards Saturn.

But in a way this is a good thing for ordinary people.

"It's so powerful. The loss of a few small warships can replace two of the enemy's medium-sized warships. This deal is simply as cost-effective as you want."

"It seems that the alliance fleet is still very strong."

"Of course they are stronger. All of the Alliance's space forces are mechanical new humans. Even in space, their combat effectiveness will not be affected."

"I heard that Councilor Xu managed to seize a battleship by himself. His physical strength is incredible, okay?"

"Anyway, I feel at ease with Congressman Xu here."

"Come on, Alliance fleet, we will definitely defeat the invaders and protect the solar system."

"Anyone who offends our solar system will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

…

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, good news came from Lei Zhan, stating that the enemy warships had been successfully eliminated and were currently returning at full speed for support.

Although the distance is far behind the pioneer fleet, it is good news after all.

However, this joy did not last long before it was broken by the intelligence that the Pioneer Fleet was about to arrive at Saturn's defense line.

"Congressman Xu."

"According to the latest data, the enemy fleet has begun to slow down. It should be that it has discovered the existence of our Saturn defense line and is preparing to attack."

Space Command.

In the battleship's core control hall, Xu Lei listened to Nat's report and directly ordered without any delay: "Notify all personnel to prepare for level one combat."

Although the battleship controlled by Lei Zhan and the First Fleet has not yet arrived, the enemy is now approaching the city and it is impossible not to take action.

"It's Councilor Xu."

After these few days of adjustment, Nat's condition has fully recovered. At this time, he no longer has any worries in his heart. After receiving the order, he nodded in response and immediately started executing it.

For a time, red alarms sounded in all battleships, and all crew members entered the highest level of readiness.

At the same time, the battleship's neutral particle cannon is ready.

In addition, Titan is surrounded by heavy rail guns, and the ground defense system begins to target and lock. As long as an enemy warship enters the attack range, a full-scale attack will be launched.

On the other hand, the Pioneer Empire Fleet, because it suffered a loss in the solar system defense ring, obviously will not come up and throw away all Wang Zha this time.

"Reporting to the Lord Bishop, we have encountered the opponent's new line of defense."

"However, according to radar monitoring, there is a planet with signs of civilization behind this line of defense."

In the command cabin of the main ship, Fogli finally felt a little excited after listening to the reports from his subordinates. After learning that a civilized planet in this galaxy had finally appeared, he immediately waved his hands and said: "Very good, let's destroy it first." Drop the planet and continue pushing toward the core."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and then added a few words.

"And get rid of the battleship of Misti first. This is a shame for our pioneer empire and should not be in the hands of a weak civilization."

"It's the Bishop."

As a member of the royal family of the Pioneer Empire, Fogli recognized it as Misty's battleship at a glance. He became furious when he thought that his battleship was being used as a trophy by humans to show off.

So this shame must be resolved first.

As for Fogli's order, his subordinates, as ambassadorial pioneers, naturally had no objections, and then quickly started operating on the console with both hands.

And after locking the Alliance Space Command, they decisively fired neutral particle cannons.

But they didn't know the league had the same idea.

When it comes to the survival of civilization, Nat is very clear about the importance of seizing the opportunity, so he fired the main weapon neutral particle cannon almost at the same time that the enemy ship entered the attack range, locking on one of the four enemy battleships.

When discussing the specific action plan for this operation, Xu Lei had already proposed it.

Nat will naturally implement this firmly.

So this created a somewhat dumbfounding scene.

The battleships on both sides were attacked by neutral particle cannons at almost the same time, and without any dodge defense, the damage was very serious.

Basically lost the ability to continue fighting.

It can be said that the alliance exchanged its own space command for an enemy battleship.

"alarm!

"alarm!"

"The ship is damaged, please evacuate as soon as possible!"

Inside the Alliance Space Command, feeling the violent shaking of the warship and the repeated beeps inside the ship, Nat didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, the alliance's only battleship lost its combat capability at the beginning.

Although it was said that one of the enemy's battleships was successfully replaced, it was not certain whether it was a good or bad thing.

Also, the Space Command was damaged and he could no longer participate in the battle. The top priority now was to complete the evacuation as soon as possible to avoid greater losses.

"Everyone, don't panic, follow the system instructions and evacuate in an orderly manner." After using his identity as fleet commander to issue another order, he also took the time to take action.

However, during the evacuation process, I would still look outside from time to time, praying silently in my heart: "Congressman Xu, the rest is all up to you."

Xu Lei knew very well that he had to contain at least one of the enemy's battleships.

So naturally he wouldn't stay at the headquarters with Nat.

After discovering the presence of the local fleet, he left the headquarters on the Golden Crow and temporarily hid in the nearby star field, looking for the best time to take action.

With the experience of seizing the authority of the battleship last time, Xu Lei can be said to be very confident this time. Even if the enemy should take more precautions, no weapons can harm him as long as he enters the battleship.

But the crux of the problem is how to choose the battleship where the enemy commander is located.

There is no difference in the appearance of the six battleships of the Pioneer Empire Fleet this time, but there must be one main ship that plays a command role. If they can seize control of the main ship and take the commander, then the Alliance will have absolute control. handle.

There is a high probability that this battle will end early.

After all, to capture the thief first, capture the king.

But he only has one chance now.

"There are three battleships left. I can't hesitate any longer." Xu Lei in the Golden Crow observed the remaining three battleships of the Pioneer Empire fleet, and began to feel anxious because he was not sure what to pay attention to.

After seeing that another battleship of its own was damaged, the main enemy completely went berserk. One of the battleships frantically attacked the Alliance's remaining hammer cruiser, and the remaining two went straight to Titan without any warning. Be aware of the onslaught from Titan's defense systems.

There is a strong intention to attack Titan even with another battleship.

At the critical moment, Xu Lei finally made a decision and immediately controlled the Golden Crow to fly towards the battleship attacking the Hammer cruiser.

Relying on the neutral particle gun in his hand, when the spacecraft arrived at the weakest point of the battleship's defense, it directly forcibly broke through the battleship's defense. Although the gap could only accommodate one person through, it was enough for him.

After entering the battleship, the neutral particle cannon lost its function, and his body became invincible.

There is no need to care about the enemy's attacks.

And what's more worth mentioning is that Xu Lei believes in his choice. If nothing else happens, he will basically be the main ship of the Pioneer Empire Fleet.

Because Xu Lei didn't believe that members of the pioneer royal family who cherished their lives would let themselves take risks to forcibly meet the attack of Titan's defense system.

Therefore, based on this method, the main ship must be the attack hammer cruiser.

Not long after he entered the battleship, he proved his suspicion.

He encountered far more Pioneer crew members than the previous battleship.

This shows that there must be very important core figures of the fleet on the battleship.

After thinking about this, Xu Lei couldn't help but become excited. He immediately drew out the storm sword from behind and headed towards the location of the core command and control hall.

The main reason is that two battleships are currently attacking Titan. The defense system of Titan alone may not be able to withstand them. It won't be long before Titan Fortress will be fatally hit, and the newly built shipyard will no longer exist.

In this case, Lei Zhan had no hope for the time being, so he could only catch the opponent's commander in the shortest possible time and force him to change the combat instructions.

For Fogli, seeing that the fleet had just arrived at the new defense line and was about to destroy the civilized planet, he made this weak civilization understand the consequences of being an enemy of the Pioneer Empire. As a result, he lost another battleship.

This made him feel humiliated.

Therefore, two other battleships were dispatched without hesitation to launch a devastating strike on Titan.

But while he was waiting to admire the gorgeous scene of the planet being destroyed, his subordinate's words made him suddenly stand up from his seat, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Master Bishop, that special mechanical life form broke through the main ship's defense and has now entered our battleship!"

…
