The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Then use Poseidon, a Poseidon-class strategic cruiser equipped with dynamic thermal resistance."

Although the Poseidon-class strategic cruiser of the Gallente Federation does not have the general versatility of the Tengu-class that people say, it has a powerful defense capability that is praised by everyone.Although this expensive battleship will cause damage ratio if you are not careful-after all, the price of a hardcover Poseidon can be compared to ten Dominix-class battleships in battle configuration-but they are really capable of fighting. Can resist again.Their high-quality energy nano armor system allows them to have very high armor resistance, as well as a powerful and reliable particle blaster system and drone control system.

Most of the weapon systems of civilizations focus on kinetic energy and thermal energy damage. Everyone loves particle beam weapons and railguns, so going out with dynamic thermal resistance will not suffer a big loss. (nod)

And before crossing, there was an incomprehensible strange sentence written in the introduction of the Poseidon-class ship——

Freedom is like flowing water, soft and graceful.We are surrounded by it, our bodies are contained by it, our fears are overwhelmed by it.We feel the mystery of this freedom and suck the nourishment of its body.In this flowing water we gain life, and as we pass away, we shall return to that water.There, among the stars, is this flowing water, freedom personified.That dark, endless void is our destiny, our way, our goal.Let us not fear it, nor try to master it.And we should embrace it, trust it, love it.Its ever-changing face, its indescribable presence, is what we are.We are the stars, we are the void, we are the great waters of the universe: ancient, eternal, free.

Although I don't know what it means, but I think it's quite chaotic, and it's suitable for watching it a few times to win the prize when I'm out in the subspace mission.

"How long have they been lost?"

"The rescue team calculated sixteen hours, three and ten minutes from the time the communication was interrupted." Liu Lizi replied, "The degree of time distortion inside the subspace is surprisingly low—the time for them to completely lose contact is much shorter than previously expected." Many, that subspace creature should have played a very important role."

"I understand." Oregana nodded, "Let's set off immediately, so that the rescue team will not retreat in a hurry, and just stand by where they are, and it may be useful to go to their place."

It didn't take long to prepare, and the fleet arrived at the galaxy where the accident occurred in just one hour, four and 10 minutes. When the fleet was ready, there was a force field in front, and there was a Titan projectile in the rear, Tartarus The fleet can always maneuver like the wind.Even after entering the subspace, under the leadership of the Very Leopard, the fleet's advance speed in the subspace is far faster than that of ordinary spaceships.

And when the starry sky in front of her eyes suddenly opened up, Oregana's nerves immediately tensed up.

Originally, I thought that those beacons would guide the ship to a stable space—such as a well-adjusted ruin, or something similar to the Blackstone Fortress.As a result, after the actual arrival, it was found that it had directly reached the material universe, and an obvious source of combat heat was detected as soon as it landed, and the fleet-level wreckage was still emitting heat that could not be ignored in the universe.

There has just been a war here, and the concentration of particles in the universe is too high, not only the traces left by the propulsion system, but also a special particle that has never been recorded. They seem to be leaking from the wreckage, and gradually diffuse in the entire orbit of the planet .That made anyone nervous, and it probably meant that the research ship was involved in the fight.

Although it is said that it is a battleship hull, it is not a battleship after all, but a scientific research ship, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with a real battleship.At this moment, the figure of the Tsiolkovsky has not appeared in the universe, and the heat source of the battle on the planet is still erupting one after another, which indicates that the battle is not over yet.

Probably the planetary defense force is fighting the landing invasion force.

"Immediately alert the current space region!" She ordered loudly, "Scan the planets! The warships act separately to expand the alert area!"

【clear! 】

There are many considerations for this move - it is a very stupid move to join a war with a careless attitude. After all, there are many kinds of wars in the universe. Attacks launched; there are also wars where two forces compete with each other, political, economic and ideological confrontation, such as the struggle between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance.

The former is simple, because you have no other way to go except to smash the religious and political system of the Star Alliance with the three prophets as the core, while the complexity of the latter is completely different-because no matter which side you join, you will have to wait for the war. Once it's over, you have to also step into that system to play political games with the other party, and you will immediately step into a different quagmire from the other side.

This was also the last thing Oregana wanted to see.Because once it reaches that point, war is no longer a simple relationship between good and evil, and helping civilians will not be considered as humanitarian rescue, but an act of standing in line, which requires more energy and thinking from more angles. Find a reasonable way to solve the problem, so detailed intelligence is essential.

But this time, important information was obtained in the first round of scanning.

First of all, the Orkovsky was indeed involved in the battle. She is now lying miserable on the surface of the planet, but it is generally intact-this shows that she was severely damaged in the space battle and finally rushed here. beach (in various senses).At this moment, she was still sending a distress signal. According to the data analysis, there were no dead people on the ship, but there were more than 22 wounded, including [-] seriously injured.As of now, the fighting on land is still going on. In addition to the intruders exchanging fire with the remnants of the planetary defense force, there are also several teams that have launched an attack on the parked Orkovsky. The hull, which is too strong for land warfare weapons, continues to exchange fire. At present, the defenders still have the advantage.

Those "mechanical soldiers with heads like a flashlight" on the opposite side mentioned in the intelligence always feel like they have seen it somewhere...

Immediately afterwards, a warship discovered the warship marked by the Olkovsky as an enemy—a warship that looked like a living creature, with its bottom stretched out like the tentacles of a squid, and a warship with a long axis of more than two kilometers. It was suspended in the atmosphere, suppressing the entire area with its powerful firepower alone.And from the data sent back one after another, it can be seen that this invader team has already captured prisoners and pierced them with nails to make combat weapons.

It was something called a ghoul, the mindless infantry unit of the Reaper army.They are the products of nailing living bodies or human corpses to mechanical spikes, quickly extracting water, and replacing the control units with minerals in the body.These control units animate dead flesh and tissue, turning them into terrifying killing machines.The Reapers have a habit of overpowering their enemies with massive armies of ghouls. These creatures feel no pain, have strength far beyond the average human and move on a massive scale, making them an unstoppable deadly force.

At first glance, Oregana knew what it was.

So much good news and so much bad news.

The good news is that this war is not a conflict of ideology, there is no need to play political games with the enemy, and basically there is no other way to go, in short, the premise of doing this will definitely not change; with the Ministry of Consolidation, you can get a powerful It is a new thing, live ammunition weapons in the future... Especially the technology of electromagnetic accelerator and space navigation technology may usher in a wave of great development; this world has super-colorful alien races that can give birth to offspring with any race; this The world has unique superpower skill trees...blah blah blah.

And the bad news is...the universe is having Reapers.That's right, it's the out-of-control omnic that I've mentioned many times. I've been playing jokes but I've never encountered it. Every 5 years, it takes all organic life forms home and puts them in boxes to avoid them. The reapers who were shredded by the omnics created by themselves—created Supa AI in order to end the sad fate of [organic species were eventually wiped out by the composites they created]. As a result, Supa AI thought the most A good way is to harvest and store the organic species before they are wiped out by the synthetic body created by themselves, because they are all well stored, so they are not considered to be wiped out.To be honest, this is the stupidest reason for the Omnic Crisis that Oregana has heard. The guy who wrote the underlying code for them must have a brain problem.

This must be the stupidest omnic crisis ever. If there was anything stupider than this, Oregana would have the ability to eat the screen in front of her.

Even though they are all omnics, our children are very well-behaved. (Looks at Huifengjiang)

At this moment, floating in the sea atmosphere of that planet, about fifty kilometers away from the shore is a Hegemony-class Reaper warship.This is one of the most famous Reaper battleships. It has a long axis of 2000 meters, and its main weapon is a "magnetohydrodynamic" cannon installed on the 'spine'. Its huge zero-element core drives a liquid iron-uranium-tungsten alloy The electromagnetic field, the molten metal it sprays can reach a quarter of the speed of light, this power is basically a small doomsday.It was it that sank the Tsiolkovsky, and judging from the damage of the Tsiolkovsky, that shot was not a direct hit, but just a close pass over the hull.

hmmmmmm…

Oregana rubbed her chin and thought for a few seconds—the opponent is the Reaper, and the shield used by the Reaper is a mass effect shield, which means it is a kinetic resistance shield, and it is well known that the mass effect shield has a negative effect on directed energy. The defensive effect of the weapon is very poor; in addition, except for the super-large magnetic hydrodynamic axis gun, the remaining secondary guns of the Reaper do not have that level of output, and they are directed energy weapons, which are also equipped with Battleships of other races whose mass effect shields lack other defenses are basically seconds.

However, the protection of the Poseidon-class strategic cruiser is designed against conventional electromagnetic guns and directed energy weapons, and her powerful armor is extremely resistant to kinetic energy and thermal energy damage.Although it is basically impossible to block the magnetic hydrodynamic axis cannon, those secondary cannons installed at the tip of the mechanical tentacles are not that powerful, right?And at this engagement distance, who will be hit by the axle gun?If you let the captains of the second-line army of Gameiras who can only fight dull battles come, they will not be used as targets for axis guns within less than [-] kilometers... But this is mainly because the Gameiras navy is in these few days. In the past year, there have been training subjects such as [avoiding hyperspace strikes similar to flame direct strikes] and [evading straight-line strikes similar to wave cannons].

However, there is no training for avoiding wide-area strikes like the diffuse wave cannon, because there is only one operation at this time and that is to jump immediately, otherwise there is no way to hide and you can only wait for death. There is nothing to practice. (far eye)

Then, to save the Orkovsky and other ordinary people on the planet, there is only one thing that can be done now.

"All staff fill the anti-matter bomb!" She opened the communication, "After the ship starts attacking, immediately launch an attack on the target——"

【clear! 】

"Boss, how do you fight?" Liu Lizi stretched her neck, and she sat up straight. "Our projectile cannon is not effective against kinetic energy protection, such as the mass effect shield, which is too good. Basically, it is impossible to hit it directly."

"It is now located inside the atmosphere, [-] kilometers away from the coastline. This may be to avoid shore-based firepower, or it may be to better coordinate the overall situation. But this also allows us not to worry about affecting the residents on the shore. And the defender's army. Fill in the core bombs and let the shells explode around the Reaper battleship. It doesn't matter even if they are deflected into the sea and explode-this is in the atmosphere, we don't need to hit directly at all." Oregana hugged Standing in front of the big screen with arms folded, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, "When the opponent comes up to catch us, the Poseidon team will cut over from the dead corner of the main gun - let it taste the power!"

"I see!"

"It's now—the battle begins!"

Chapter 1191 Chapter 210: The way to clear the customs is to murder the BOSS when he debuts

The stealth frigate Normandy of the Human Star Alliance ended its long-distance jump in the light. This frigate named after the key battle in 1944 was specially designed for a single ship to go deep into unstable areas for reconnaissance. She used the current top Stealth technology, powered by an experimental drive core.

Stealth has been impossible for spaceships for centuries because the heat generated by their routine operations stood out against the cosmic backdrop like a cat on the hood of a car, but Normandy was able to do so by hiding deep inside its hull. The lithium cooling system temporarily 'stores' the heat generated throughout the ship.

However, this stealth system also has its limits. First of all, it is useless when flying faster than the speed of light, and if it is scanned by any visible band during normal flight, it will cause exposure-but this is quite rare, because most spacecraft rely more on Electronic scanning instead of visual contact, after all, it is too difficult to locate a spacecraft in the vast space by visible light.

A boat like this is perfect for stealthy missions.

Jeff "Joker" Morrow was sitting in his chair, the most respected pilot in the Starfleet Navy, the man who was born on the Arcturo... Arcturus space station, and his skills were naturally first-class it is good.After the jump, he showed a satisfied expression, put his hands behind his head and leaned on the driver's seat:

"The thrusters are normal...navigation, normal...the internal radiator is activated, and all systems are operating normally. The deviation...is not more than fifteen hundred kilometers."

"Fifteen hundred is fine. Your colonel will be satisfied."

It was an alien in armor who spoke in a polite but distanced voice.His thick, scaly skin is white with intricate facial lines, giving his serious face an eerie, skeletal look—the Turians, an ancient race civilized by military prowess, though they There used to be battles with humans, but since humans entered the Council of God's Citadel, the apparent contradictions have dissipated.

The so-called Citadel Council is an executive committee composed of representatives from the Asari Republic, the Turian Empire, and the Salarian Federation, which can be understood as a cosmic-scale United Nations.Although these three civilizations have no independent government power over other races, the resolutions of the council are of great importance to the entire galaxy.No single race in the council is strong enough to openly defy the other two, and the three races have a vested interest in compromise and cooperation.Races that can establish an embassy at the Citadel space station are regarded as joining races and abide by the provisions of the Citadel Convention.The joined races can propose proposals to the parliament, but cannot participate in the formulation of resolutions.The Star Alliance of humans became a member of the Citadel in 2165, and is currently the youngest race among them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually moving away, the pilot Joker frowned and lowered his voice:

"I hate that guy."

Lieutenant Cayden Alanco in the co-pilot's seat showed a puzzled expression:

"Nerus praised you, so you hate him?"

Awkward like a high school girl—this sentence was not uttered, but it was basically written on his face.

But Joker clearly has his reasons:

"It's good to close the door when you go out of the toilet, but I just led everyone to jump half the galaxy and land on a pinhead-sized target, that's... perfect!" He gestured fiercely "and the ghost Agents are troublesome guys, I don't like him on board, it's not that I'm paranoid."

The turian named Nerus was, as he said, a ghost.They are only subject to the orders of the Citadel Council, and they are the elite of the army, with the right to eliminate threats to peace and stability in any way they think necessary.

They can act alone or as a whole team in two or three rows.Some of them are loyal pacifists who use diplomacy to resolve disputes, while others are cold-blooded killers who are merciless when dealing with their targets.They solve the problem by whatever means, often beyond the limits of galactic law.Sending a "ghost" would not be as controversial as sending an army, but it would be a clear signal of parliament's concern about the situation.

And Nilus is not an ordinary agent, he has experienced many battles, and it is said that the medals Nilus got can be melted to make a life-sized statue as big as him.Such a man of great merit will not appear on an ordinary mission-the order given above is that this voyage is to test the stealth system, but a test flight requires a guy of this weight to be on board ?

No need, right?

Anyone with a slightly smarter mind would think so, and immediately realize that there is a problem with this mission-and there is no one who can serve on a special service ship without a smart mind.Therefore, from the start to the present, everyone is suspicious because of the existence of this ghost agent.

"You're paranoid, the council funded the project and they have the power to send someone to oversee it."

"Only a fool would believe the official story."

While the two were arguing meaninglessly, a man with a serious face appeared, making one think that someone owed him money and hadn't paid it back:

"You always think the worst."

"Shepard, at worst it's my occupational disease." Joker turned around. "We won't be called out without a reason, so what are we going to do?"

John Shepard, also a man known for his fighting prowess and good luck.Both of his parents served in the Starfleet, so John spent his childhood on spaceships and space stations.Because Shepard's parents were often deployed to different places, Shepard never stayed in the same place for several years. Shepard followed in his parents' footsteps and joined the army that year.

And his real meritorious service was in the Akuz colony in 2177, and that was also the first time the Star Alliance came into contact with the terrifying protozoa such as the Sand Demon Worm.Sand Demons are submerged carnivores that spend their entire lives eating and foraging for food. Their bodies never completely leave the ground, only their heads and tentacles emerge to attack.In addition to physical attacks, they can spray toxic chemical agents and emit infrasonic bursts to generate shock waves.After losing contact with the advance team, the Marines went to search, only to be immediately attacked by hungry sand bugs, and the entire force was almost wiped out - except for John Shepard, who was a legendary survivor. , which earned him a great deal of reputation, and the same trauma as reputation.

At this moment, he is looking for words to answer his colleague's "suspiciousness", and the captain's communication relieved the embarrassment he couldn't think of for a while——

[Joker, report the situation. 】

"Just passed the mass repeater, Colonel. The stealth system has been activated, and everything is normal."

[Very well, find a communication beacon to intervene in the communication network. Before arriving at Eden Star, I need to send the mission report to the Star Alliance executives. 】

"Of order, Colonel." Joker pouted. "You'd better cheer up, Nerus is going to your side."

The voice on the other side stopped for a few seconds, then spoke again:

[He is already standing here.Tell Major Shepard to meet me in the communications room for a briefing. 】

Hearing this, Joker showed a toothache-like expression, and he knew he screwed up:

"Tsk...you heard me anyway, Major?"

"I'm going right now."

Along the way, there were constant chatter from the crew, some were uneasy, some were excited—most of them were young people who were eager to prove themselves. In their view, having a ghost agent on board their ship must represent a There will be a big mission with a gun and a live ammunition.Their conjectures are not unreasonable, but these young people always forget the risks behind them when they think about making contributions.

In this regard, there seemed to be nothing he could do except to remain silent.

Just like what the captain said before, that ghost agent—Nirus, is already waiting for him here.He was looking at the picture of Eden Star in the captain's room, and turned his head when he heard the sound of the automatic door:

"Major Shepard, I was expecting you to come so we could have a chance to talk."

In his presence, Shepard felt a little nervous—a feeling a soldier could hardly contain when he was up against another, more accomplished soldier, accentuated by the fact that he was not yet his own creature.So Shepard decides to put on a tougher, more ruthless look so he can hide his nervousness:

"about what?"

"The planet we're going to, I've heard it's very beautiful."

Shepard nodded:

"Yes, people say it's heaven."

Heaven has not always been a concept for the Turians. Since ancient times, their concept has no saints who attract people to goodness or demons who tempt people to fall.Turians believe that a group or region has a soul beyond the individual.For example, a troop has an abstract soul, which is reflected in the honor and courage displayed by the troop.A city's soul reflects the achievements and industriousness of its inhabitants.

But this does not mean that they have a sniff at religion. On the contrary, the Turians enjoy absolute religious freedom and can follow any denomination as long as it does not affect anyone's ability to work normally.There are many people who follow the Shiari sect of the Ashali, and since the dialogue with the Human Galactic Federation, some Turians have suddenly started to believe in Confucianism and Zen Buddhism-let's be honest, the aliens sitting in the togas It's too weird to read "Spring and Autumn" before the case, but... now is a diverse society, it's better to accept it honestly than to be surprised.

Nilus has no religious beliefs, but a ghost agent still has a deep understanding of various civilizations:

"Yeah... that's paradise. Serenity, peace, safety." His eyes cast a scrutiny. "It has become a kind of symbol for your people, right? Proof that humans can not only colonize the galaxy, but also protects them, but honestly, how safe is it?"

This made Shepard squint his eyes, which is already an offense:

"Are you trying to scare me? 'Ghost'."
