The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

To be honest, although we are in the era of great interstellar voyages, neither Kasla nor other ordinary people living in the galaxy can see the future.

Indeed, the world is now full of vitality, but in fact, human technology has not undergone substantial changes for centuries, nor has its territory expanded.

It's weird, but... it seems like there's an invisible wall blocking the way of human beings.The collapse of the once most promising galactic empire proved that human beings cannot have such a huge territory.After that, the confrontation of many countries led to the decline of border law and order, and the decline of law and order gave birth to pirates, which led to a further decline of law and order. Coupled with the endless "confrontation", everyone had to shrink the territory to empty the "buffer zone" Avoid direct wars. In this case, many livable planets are included in the buffer zone, and the cost of continuing to expand to the outside makes the peripheral countries (because of their geographical location in the prosperous central business belt) In addition, these countries are generally poor) hesitating.

Territorial expansion stopped; no direct major wars; popularization of cheap, safe and convenient contraceptive methods; female education level and social status increased; compulsory education and the decline in the economic value of children; increased social mobility of the population; support The disappearance of religious beliefs about the idea of ​​fertility; the maturity of old-age security and other social security systems... This directly leads to an irreversible decline in the fertility rate of various countries.

Simply put, nothing happened to stimulate everyone to have children...

After the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the gradual stabilization of the world situation, there was a wave of baby boomers. When this group of children grew up to be in their 20s, there was an echo baby boom... and then the Guanyin of Sendzi went on strike...

There is no stimulation of foreign development, no stimulation of war, and science and technology have minimized the stimulation of natural disasters, so young people are increasingly reluctant to have children.Some countries try to use artificial humans or human cloning to reverse this situation, but the obstacles in the implementation process are quite large, and they can only secretly make a small part of it, and dare not announce it.

It feels like everyone is discriminating against newly created human clones. (far eye)

And after the number of newborns falls—within a few decades—the needs of society become saturated, the people settle for the status quo, desires decline, and businesses shrink.There is no desire for anything, it is enough to live comfortably for a day, and leave the rest to tomorrow.There will be no new products, no technological progress, and no social progress.

Although it is not obvious, the human civilization in this world is indeed slowly aging.

And the contact with the integration department may become a stimulus—just like pressing an electric shock device on the chest of an unconscious patient, a stimulus to wake people up...

"We hope to find talents that can be used by us, to open up business routes, and to exchange cultures. Sounds greedy?"

The civilized circle of the Consolidation Department, which surfs the exciting waves every day, has never worried about this. Everyone is very interested in nurturing the next generation—and this interest has nothing to do with Salex, it comes from the heart...every day There is a large-scale battle with the bugs, and a wave of pregnant women will be picked up from the back of the hospital. It seems that the instinct of living things to leave the next generation when they feel the crisis of survival is at work.

And from the statistical point of view, Latavila, who was released from slavery, has also exploded a wave of baby boom recently...

Really, it has nothing to do with Salex at all. This is in line with the laws of nature, and everyone is spontaneous. (cover face)

The benefits of cooperating with the Ministry of Consolidation are much greater than it seems on the surface. This is not just as simple as the merchants having a new shipping market, it may even bring back the decline of all countries in an instant.Raise the downward curve of human civilization in one go...

But this task is obviously not easy to complete.

"I don't think it's greedy." Casla said, "I took over the job, so... what kind of assistance can I get? You know, doing business these days is not as easy as it seems."

"Let's start by expanding the shipping capacity." Oregana replied, pointing to the production arrays outside, "We have a lot of ships and manpower here, as long as you can handle the review and procedures so that they can legally appear on your side There are as many cargo ships as you want on the sea.”

"I think... I can do it" My network really came in handy...

"Specific matters, someone will come to talk to you later. It will take a few days for your ship to be repaired, right? During this period of time, just wander around here to see what the organization you are working with is like."

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient."

"Have fun."

The ship docked, and he walked towards the port under the guidance of the reception staff, while Oregana raised the corners of her mouth slightly behind.The two of them still had some things to say, but both of them knew it well—for example, why Oregana didn't choose to cooperate with an existing big company, but chose to cultivate a company for "endorsement" by herself.

Indeed, it takes a staggering amount of time to grow a small company into a behemoth, and it can be much faster to cooperate with existing large enterprises.But—from the perspective of trustworthiness and reliability, the ready-made big chaebols are far lower than the companies cultivated by themselves.

It's not terrible to spend more time, but it's terrible to suddenly 25 or do some moths behind the scenes...

--------------

UV Cetus, the orbit of the fourth planet.

The black mist rolled in the void, and the blood-like scarlet lightning surged in the black mist, like volcanic ash ejected from the crater.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away, piercing sirens echoed from the bridge of the battleship—it was a Tiad-class battleship of the Gaia Sanctions Committee.This type of battleship is considered to be a type with strong combat effectiveness in this universe. She can carry four squadrons of carrier-based aircraft formations and has strong firepower.

The upper part of the hull of this type of warship presents a slope shape. A total of six triple-mounted large beam turrets, three on the left and three on the right, are arranged in a piggyback style on these two "slopes".There are also two rear-facing main turrets above the stern propeller, and a large number of small secondary guns are equipped on both sides of the hull, which can shoot both at the ship and at the air.The bow of the ship is like the head of a sperm whale, towering and majestic, with the emblem of the Gaia Sanctions Committee painted in the middle, which looks very majestic.

The prominent design concept is the majestic shape, the performance is strong, the armor is thick, and the gun is fierce. At the same time, there is a carrier-based aircraft, just like the gunship of Gamilas.

If it is fighting with the navy of any country, this warship is overwhelming in terms of single-ship performance.But today, the enemy she faces is not the cheap mass-produced ships of the post-war generations...

Out of the black mist was a huge black battleship. If the Tiad-class battleship was majestic, then this battleship was madness and darkness.The bow is decorated with huge skeletons, with faint red light shining in the eye sockets, the strange pattern on the armor above the hull looks like the sutures of a corpse, the huge and rusty turret is moving on the slide rails, Thick hinges pull the turret, giving it an anachronistic, anachronistic feel.

And inside the bridge, this weird feeling still exists, even worse——

The space inside the bridge is very large, full of Victorian style decorations.In the center of the wide bridge, there is a red high-back chair, on which sits a man wearing a cloak with a gloomy aura lingering all over his body.A strange black bird with a huge beak and a thin, shapeless neck perched on the back of the chair, chirping.

"Target! A Tiad-class battleship! The carrier-based aircraft has been released!!" The fat crew member wrapped in a skull scarf shouted loudly, "The whole ship is ready for battle!"

In the siren sounding like a horn, the crew took their positions, and Captain Harlock stood up, his cloak shaking behind him:

"I'll take the helm myself."

He walked to the front of the bridge, where there was a control seat—no, it was not a control seat in the traditional sense, but a very traditional wooden steering wheel.Harlock walked over and took hold of the wheel, and the strange bird flew over and landed on his shoulder, trimming its feathers with its huge beak.

He stared at the approaching Gaia Sanctions Committee warship in front of him, that was the target this time... After chasing that thing to this galaxy, it was time for the Arcadia to resupply.

On the other side, the captain of the Gaia Sanctions Committee has a very bad face—for a century, no one has been able to single-handedly repel Harlock in a frontal battle. That ship is a monster, and that person is also a monster.

After receiving the information from Harlock, the chairman of the Gaia Sanctions Committee (because the title is too long, hereinafter referred to as 'A Committee') ordered the second battle fleet to go to crusade - this is a total of 130 two battleships The Grand Fleet, in this era, is a powerful combat force that can fight against the coalition forces of three countries at the same time without losing.

In the past, Harlock's Arcadia would eat directly when facing a single battleship, be reckless when encountering a small fleet, and choose to evacuate when encountering a large fleet with more than white ships.Therefore, according to everyone's analysis, the Arcadia must not be able to fight against a large fleet of more than [-] ships—tsk, to be honest, this is frightening to death. Well, one of my ships is a fleet or something...

If possible, destroy it completely, like crushing weeds and centipedes-this is the order given to the army by the committee before departure.

Most people are not optimistic about such a plan... But at least, if the command is right, it is still possible to force him back.

However, being able to force back means that when a fleet is present, it does not mean that the patrolling scout ships can persuade him to retreat with the things in their hands...

"Dark matter reaction was detected. It is the fourth ship of the Shadow of Death class, the Arcadia." The captain switched on the communication and reported to the rear, "We found him."

[Upload the coordinate information, and then evacuate immediately. 】

"I will," the captain wiped the sweat from his brow, "but it's another matter if you can escape."

He ordered the carrier-based aircraft to attack the enemy ship—the carrier-based aircraft force mounted high-power plasma bombs, and the power of a single shot is higher than that of shelling. If it can hit multiple times, it may reduce the mobility of the Arcadia ... If it really doesn't work, the opponent can also run away when they are attacking the carrier-based aircraft.

It sounds a bit like sacrificing the carrier-based aircraft and letting them be the last ones.But this is not the case. Although it is a delayed combat, it is not mortal - the pilot just needs to run away from the battle line after dropping the bomb. According to the previous records, nearly 80.00% of the pilots who did this survived. Rate.

"Attention all attack aircraft! Be careful not to come into contact with the fog released by the enemy pirate ship."

"The corsair doesn't have a carrier aircraft? Doesn't even turn on the anti-aircraft fire?"

"Don't gossip! Each plane dives and attacks from directly above!"

The black corsair ignored the approaching fighter jets, her main guns turned on the Tiad-class battleship, and the hull accelerated further.

The first few attack aircraft missed the attack window due to the acceleration of the enemy ship, which forced them to slam the nose and force the window back.Plasma bombs with blue tail flames flew out from the weapon hardpoints under the wings, and each attack aircraft fired six bombs. Because of the extremely short distance, they hit the front of the bow in less than half a second.

The dazzling explosion light immediately engulfed the front half of the Arcadia. Taking advantage of the momentum of the dive attack, the first group of attack aircraft tried to speed up to pass behind the explosion and escape from the bottom of the Arcadia.But just as they dived halfway, the huge skeleton bow rushed out of the cloud of explosion smoke——she accelerated again...

The first few planes had no time to evade, and were crushed by the huge hull of the Arcadia.

"how is this possible?!"

"So fast! What kind of performance is this!"

The pilot of the attack plane who narrowly escaped watched with lingering fear as the terrifying warship fled as fast as possible—the other party did not suffer even a little damage during the bombing.If you don't run away, the opponent's anti-aircraft guns will be shooting. In the unobstructed universe, there is no way for attack aircraft to escape the strafing of anti-aircraft guns.

In the distance, the Tiad-class battleship was turning around, and the tail propulsion nozzle was shining with a dazzling blue light.With the help of sixteen tail thrusters, her heavy hull was accelerating at a speed unbelievable for her size.

"The target is turning around! It looks like he wants to escape!" The fat man in the turban and glasses reported the enemy's movements to the captain holding the steering wheel. "Do you want to shoot?"

The owner of the Arcadia nodded, and ordered decisively:

"Break his leg."

The main guns on the pirate ship fired, a salvo of three main turrets.With the assistance of an excellent fire control system (and the opponent has no angular velocity), the first round of shooting hits a hit-nine orange beams are fired at the target, seven of which are drawn by the Tiad class, and one wipes the target. The two auxiliary turrets were taken away through the hull, and the last shot directly hit the propeller group on the upper left.

Searing blasts pierced the thrusters, injecting devastating energy into the hull components.In the violent vibration, this group of propellers exploded terribly, fragments and flames exploded, and the damaged propeller components were torn off from the hull on the spot.

"The sixth to eighth thrusters were shot! Acceleration performance dropped by 20.00% two!"

"The pirate ship is approaching quickly!"

"Shoot immediately!" The captain clenched his fist and slammed on the armrest next to the captain's seat. "You must not let him get close!!"

But how easy is it?

One of the turrets at the stern was damaged by the shelling just now, and the remaining triple-mounted main gun desperately spit out blue particle beams. These high-energy particle beams burst into sparks on the armor of the Arcadia. Attacking doesn't stop the guy with the skeleton on the bow.

Under Harlock's control, the Arcadia moved forward at high speed, and the particle beams fired by the prey's secondary guns ignited sparks on the armor from time to time, but this was meaningless.Only tens of seconds later, the Arcadia caught up with the Tiad class.Harlock leaned against her starboard side against the gunfire, then slammed the steering gear hard to the left.

This is an astonishing full left rudder.

The posture control nozzle on the right burst into light suddenly, and the entire battleship swayed to one side like an uppercut, and slammed into the Tiad class hard.In a terrifying impact, the skeleton bow crashed into the enemy ship's armor at a shallow angle, and then slammed past the enemy ship's armor like a file for peeling cucumbers.In the flying debris and explosions, the outer armor on the starboard side of the Tiad-class battleship was stripped off in a few seconds, leaving only the damaged internal structures inside.

There is no need for Harlock to worry about the next thing, the boys know what they should do——

"Boys!! Hand-to-hand combat is about to begin! Go to the hangar!!"

"Stop dawdling!"

"The gravity anchor is fixed! You bastards hurry up!!"

Urged by the chief, the pirates in brass-colored power armor, holding rifles and battle axes yelled and rushed to the port side of the Arcadia, firing their lances into the damaged interior of the enemy ship, and then, like ancient times, Swinging along the rope like a pirate, he rushed into the fire net with his thick armor and fought with the opponent's soldiers who were only equipped with basic protective clothing.

They are rampaging like bulls, no one can resist their attack, it will be over soon, right?Take away the food and water on that ship, and the Arcadia can continue to last for a while-although the Arcadia ship does not need supplies or maintenance, the people inside still need to eat.

Hallock no longer looked at the soldiers who broke into the enemy ship, he asked a certain existence:

"did you find it?"

That's the reason why I came here even if I didn't hesitate to expose my whereabouts - the small space probes deployed here in the early days found a jumping signal that I had never seen before.The strong subspace reaction attached to the signal proved that the other party was not an ordinary businessman or tourist.The other party obviously climbed up from the bottom of the subspace, maybe it was a privateer with relevant technology, or it might be something from the bottom of the real subspace...

If it was in another place or at another time, Harlock would not care about this kind of thing at all, but now is the critical period of a century-long plan, and the crucial equipment has been installed nearby. This made him completely uneasy.

The time to untie the knot of time is coming, and there is no room for sloppiness.

At such critical moments, Harlock could not allow the unexpected to happen.He believed that the members of the Gaia Sanctions Committee would never be able to find out where he hid his things, but if something really came through the subspace, who could guarantee it?

What answered him was not a human being, but a cosmic creature with a fluorescent, slender and soft appearance like a girl, pointed ears, an elegant figure, and lizard-like pupils.Her voice is very soft and sweet:

"No, but the other party has stayed here for a short time."

"Understood. Let everyone act fast and continue to track. Any hidden dangers must be eliminated."

"Yes."
