The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Ugh……"

After drinking half a bowl of soup in his hand, the young Cardinal casually handed the empty bowl to Lana's younger sister who was accompanying her.

Meijiu took the bowl respectfully, put it into the basket in her hand, then presented the dried fish and asked:

"Master Alicia, the temperature is already very low, do you want to go back?"

Most of the Cathars are not cold tolerant, and they prefer to take a nap in the warm room rather than blowing the wind outside at night.But the Cardinal can't do that now, and she prefers to keep her mind awake in a cryogenic environment until the work is done.

A lot has been written in the memo——

Information control, this information will become a hotbed for the revival of the cult.

Start a deeper cooperation with Tartarus, and if possible, send a team for technical exchanges.

Expand the fleet, and try to participate in the activities of exterminating the individual dark worms that have leaked into this world.

It is recommended that Tartarus develop something like a group school (cross out)...soldier training (cross out)...Consolidated Army or...

It can be seen that she still has a lot of hesitation about this matter.From her personal point of view, if experienced generals are sent to Tartarus for professional training, they can learn the space warfare technology that an interstellar civilization should learn, and then come back to promote it. The combat effectiveness of the fleet has been greatly improved.

But can the queen agree?What would Tartarus think?What about the other three civilizations?

I can only mention it a little bit to see the reaction when I meet the queen later.

As for creating a huge fleet in a short period of time, that is impossible anyway.Battleships can be built, and logistics maintenance is also very expensive. According to the current data, if the size of the Royal Fleet is doubled, the financial department will have to rush into the palace and scratch it when it sees people. Everyone in Katari had to cry.

Fortunately, there are 400 years.

The Cathars still have time.

"Essex sent back a message that the frontline base has been consolidated, and the planetary mining base is being arranged. Chief Sea Hare and Chief Xuefeng have gone to the site to give technical guidance." Mayo reported.

With New Eden's technological level, planetary development is so easy that you can just find an interstellar player and arrange all the buildings with just a few clicks.However, if you want to mine efficiently, you still have to find an excellent planetary interaction expert (commonly known as [vegetable farmer]) to set up, how to arrange the energy pipeline, and the construction of the material pipeline, which is the most economical?How to match factories and collectors to maximize production efficiency without waste?The doorway in this can only be understood clearly if you have done it yourself.

"Is there no clue of the existence of intelligent creatures found in the local area?"

"Not currently."

It is a very ordinary galaxy, and the star is a red dwarf star. This kind of star with small size and mass does not have the ability to emit high temperature, which also causes the habitable zone to be very close to the star. Only in this way can the red dwarf star Get more heat there.

But getting too close creates another problem — tidal locking.As we all know, the period of the moon's rotation is the same as the period of its revolution around the earth, so one side always faces the earth.The same phenomenon occurs with planets if they get too close to their star.

Planets that are 'locked' will always be fried on one side, which is horrible.

Judging from the current intelligence, there are only four planets in this galaxy with a solid surface, and the two are giant gaseous planets outside the habitable zone.The four rocky planets with solid surfaces lack atmospheres and magnetic fields, which makes them unable to turn over under the "gas field" of the stars, and the violent climate of the giant gaseous planets makes it difficult to form long-chain compounds, which also makes it difficult to form life. A camel goes through the eye of a needle.

As a resource development point, the empty and uninhabited galaxy is undoubtedly very suitable.

"Then let's start the construction of the star gate and allow the use of strategic cargo ships."

"Yes!"

This kind of special cargo ship capable of long-distance jumps is not as good as a conventional cargo ship in terms of cargo capacity, but they must be available when building a star gate, otherwise it will take decades to transport it there.

Although building a stargate is time-consuming and labor-intensive, at this stage, material transportation and conventional fleet deployment must rely on the stargate.Conventional fleets and industrial ships transporting goods must pass through stargates to cross the inter-galaxy moat. Between galaxies, stargates are the lifeblood of traffic.

"We feel like we are playing "Stars". The superluminal method is the wormhole station." After setting up, Oregana put her upper body on the table and said in a lazy tone, "I haven't arrived at a new galaxy. We have to build a station, otherwise the fleet will not be able to go out properly."

"No way, this is also a part of technological defects." Huo Ling spread his hands, then picked up Serval from the side and put it on Oregana's back, "Our technology tree is flawed, we can only see When can I make up for it in the future?"

A jump engine that requires a lot of specific fuel to start is by no means suitable for long-distance marches.Dajiba once put forward such opinions on this-

"Based on the battleship's standard jump engine, 2 AU per second, then the time required to maintain this speed and travel a light year is about eight hours, but once the jump exceeds a distance of more than 200 AU, the capacitor will be drained, waiting for power It takes fifteen to three to ten minutes for the furnace to recharge the capacitor, then calculate the coordinates again, jump, and repeat the above process. This also allows for interstellar travel in the time [that can be seen].”

However, for a light-year voyage like this, it will take more than six days just to stop and wait for the capacitor to recharge. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a very urgent cargo ship. The warships going to the battlefield will be bad. If the fighters are delayed and the long-distance raids are made, they will not be able to fight those who could have fought.

The current method is to rely on the flagship to store conventional warships in the hangar, and release them to fight when they are in position, which is convenient and fast.It is only because of the limitation of the size of the flagship hangar that it cannot carry a sufficient number of conventional fleets at a time, and can only be used as a quick response force.

In the future, the area controlled by Tartarus will expand very quickly. When the galaxy named Phalanx begins to produce resources, the fleet of the Fist of Tartarus will be divided into two groups, Start colonization of two neighboring systems at the same time.

However, an excellent industrial system has a way to support this speed of expansion—in the industrial station at the rear, warships are rolling off the production line one after another, from the Angler Star, carefully selected by Polina, after strict The tested warriors also entered Salted Fish Stan to receive training one after another and became a member of the clone warriors.

At this speed, even if sea rabbits are not allowed to act as the striker, it is just around the corner to get in touch with the next civilization - Oregana dares to bet that if this is "Stars", she must be ten times more livable The mod of the planet, otherwise it cannot explain the density of this civilization at all.

And once a war breaks out, do you have a way to quickly send troops scattered in various galaxies to the battlefield?

Oregana couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she assigned the newly built two Chimera-class light aircraft carriers "Flying Eagle" and "Falcon Eagle" to the Fist of Tartarus as a quick-response mobile force to deal with it. possible battle.Unlike the Nidugal class and the Juannian class, the Chimera class is a light aircraft carrier known for its excellent defense. Their ability to withstand attacks on the battlefield even surpasses some dreadnought ships (such as Gallente's Molo class and the Nagafar classes of Minmatar).

The head of the Essex battle group expressed his pleasure about this, and organized the three aircraft carriers currently in his hands into a fleet for centralized use.For the strike force of using the aircraft carrier in the universe, she has figured out her own way - instead of driving the aircraft carrier into the enemy group like the war scythe, strafing the enemy with secondary guns and releasing the carrier aircraft to attack; The aircraft carrier is arranged in a safe position, using sensors and combat probes to accurately locate the enemy, releasing the carrier-based aircraft within a range of dozens of AU, and the cavalry carrier-based aircraft equipped with a jump engine can appear in the enemy's mid-range and long-range air defense circle in a blink of an eye Attack from within.

In the first few exercises, even she herself couldn't cope with this tactic, and could only rely on deploying mobile jump disruptors to stop the jumping carrier-based aircraft.As a result, in the end, what everyone in the boxing group is most familiar with has turned into positional warfare...

A nomad-class strategic cargo ship appeared at a position about three kilometers away from the induction force field with a burst of red light. She brought the materials used to build the star gate and the corresponding detection facilities. In the next few days, , the technicians will find a suitable location to build the stargate.

Sitting in desperation, Essex meticulously exchanged necessary information with the nomad driver.

"...This is the data and samples collected in the past few days. The magnetic field and subspace fluctuations are all in it. I'll leave it to everyone later."

[Don't worry, leave it to us. 】Lai is one of the backbones of the Dark Angel Daoqiao team. He has erected stargates in three places, and he has no experience and skills to say 【There have been a lot of jumps here recently. 】

"After all, I have been transporting some things back and forth, such as the frame of the customs office and so on..." Before the sentence was finished, the detector flickered. "This is another... huh?!"

A new signal suddenly appeared near the orbit of Planet Six, and within 20 seconds of recalibrating the sensors in Essex, the signal disappeared.

Something has come in.

"Level [-] combat readiness of all staff! Launch the combat probe immediately!"

Chapter 218 Chapter 195: Concealment

"Spatial fluctuations are confirmed! An unknown ship has been discovered in the Franks galaxy, with a size of more than 300 meters! All non-combat ships immediately go to the No. [-] control tower to avoid it!"

"Yes." The engineers of the Dark Angels Chapter obeyed the orders of the frontline commanders. It took half a minute for the heavy hull of the Nomad class to accelerate, and then it turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the distance.Her destination is the control tower used as a stronghold, where there is a large force field and a well-arranged group of turrets to provide protection.

If an unidentified spaceship is encountered in a galaxy that is being reclaimed on the frontier, non-combat ships must immediately evade to avoid meaningless losses.

After reporting the news, Essex took action.

Jue Nian's excellent magnetic sensor scanned most of the galaxy in just a few seconds, but found nothing.Only planets, satellites, engineering ships in various strongholds and battleships belonging to the Fist of Tartarus appeared on the scanning interface.

[This is the "Flying Eagle", the gravitational sensor did not find the target, but a space anomaly caused by the jump was discovered at the orbital position of the fifth planet. ] Baieruo's voice sounded in the communication channel.She is still a bit unfamiliar with the piloting of this light aircraft carrier, but just being able to pilot a flagship-class ship is already rare in the Fist of Tartarus.

【I noticed that too!But there is no way to spot the target ship. 】The person driving the "Falcon Eagle" is Qiong Nai. Although she has a relatively deep understanding of shields, it is not an easy task for her to control the cavalry carrier aircraft 【Is it something like a stealth operation? ? 】

Essex didn't want that to really be the effect of something like a covert action device.It would be very troublesome for a warship equipped with stealth action devices to lurk in the current galaxy, just like a submarine hidden in the sea water - if you run around sneakily, don't engage with warships, and only target industrial ships , will cause a huge disaster to production and development.

Even though he doesn't know the origin of this unknown ship, as a soldier, Essex will first treat it as a hostile target.

"Tsk..." She clicked her tongue slightly.

In the universe, it is impossible to conduct a dragnet search, and the monitoring building specially designed for scanning hidden units has not been transported, and the situation has suddenly reached a deadlock.Did the other party leave?Or is it hidden in this galaxy?

[Here is "Flying Eagle"!Gravitational fluctuations detected... with a specific pattern!It's the probe wave!There is no specific target, it is wide-area detection! 】

Amid this stalemate, Bello's report pointed the way.

The detection waves with specific rules indicate that the opponent still exists in this galaxy and has shown curiosity about other things in this galaxy, while the wide-area detection indicates that the opponent has not grasped his own details or has no hostility at least for now, otherwise What is coming is more likely to be concentrated irradiation aimed at the fire control system.

"What is the location?"

[The orbit of the fifth planet!About three thousand kilometers away from the previous space anomaly area... a space anomaly appeared!It's jumping! 】

Want to escape?

A small signal appeared on the magnetic sensor. It started from the orbit of the fifth planet, moved forward at a slow speed on the star map, and finally arrived at about 0.1AU near the third planet after a few seconds—then the signal disappeared up.

"Um……"

With New Eden's technology, certain stealth-equipped ships (such as the Astro-class and Statius-class) are able to remain completely silent during the transition, allowing them to travel between the stars like ghosts No trace was to be found, but apparently, this strange starship had no such abilities.

"The landing point is in the orbit of the third planet, Charlene, take your fleet there. Try to control that ship, and don't sink it if you can."

【learn!Please give coordinate support. 】

"The coordinates are being calculated, wait a moment."

In addition to several satellites around the third planet, there is also a large asteroid belt. It is not impossible to find it all the way, but the efficiency is unacceptably low. If the flagship can give exact instructions, everything will be easier. stand up.

Charlene Wolf, Essex's contemporary clone pilot, is currently leading a small fleet of five Jumbo-class cruisers.It belongs to the front-line standard combat team that responds quickly, is flexible, attacks fiercely, and does not suffer losses.

Jue Nian's sensors aimed at the third planet—a barren ball of rock—and sent out detection waves.

It is not directly scanning the position of the starship, but tracking the wake of the transition.For a starship that may be equipped with a hidden action device, it is meaningless to scan directly, but it is indeed possible to roughly locate it through the wake of the transition.

However, when the detection wave was sent out for the third time and the target range had been narrowed down to a spherical area of ​​1 kilometers, the star changed.

In front of everyone's eyes, the red low-mass star changed dramatically in a matter of seconds, like injecting air into a burning furnace. The star's color gradually faded from dark red to nearly Bright blue on white.The energy index is rising steadily, as if it is about to explode at any time.

"Flare! Just at this time!"

----------

"It's... saved!" The woman in the space suit seemed to lose all her strength at once. She leaned back on the chair, panting heavily.She opened the mask, brushed away the gray hair sticking to her forehead with sweat, and wiped the sweat slightly.

Her name is Dora Shreich, and she is the captain of this research ship.

"The flare won't last long, and it will take four cycles for the jump engine to fully recharge!" Technical Sergeant Marjay Ergen "The timing is just right, we can escape their pursuit."

As a frontier scientific research ship, the Bing Ossop has almost nothing to do with being chased and intercepted by a large number of warships in the galaxy it entered for the first time.When she first jumped into this galaxy, she followed the instructions in the scriptures and parked herself in the gravitational circle of the gaseous planets. The gravity of the gaseous planets would obscure her whereabouts, and the precisely designed force field generator could adjust the surface of the ship. It can hide its own signal in the magnetic field as if it is embedded in the magnetic field. Unless it is a very targeted scan, it cannot be found by ordinary wide-area scans.

This is all the experience accumulated in the war. A ship operated by a crew who is well versed in stealth can hide in the shadow of a planet. Unless it is directly [visually] detected by optical instruments, it is almost impossible to be difficult. be found.

And being directly seen in the universe... I'm afraid it's not like being blinded by a dog's eyes.

But Captain Dora Sridge was not a professional scout, and neither were her men.If you have to say it, these people are closer to [scientists who explore the starry sky].

When it first entered this strange galaxy, the Bing Ossop immediately discovered some large and small ships, and the radio waves were complicated, and it seemed that they were communicating.

Anxious to know the details of those strange ships in this galaxy made the Bing Ossop turn on the gravity detector at the wrong time. This detection wave is like a bright light in the dark night, clearly marking the Bing Ossop location.In less than two seconds, the alarm system started beeping, telling everyone on the bridge—[Someone is scanning! 】
