The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Oregana cleared her throat:

"In short, according to the star map given by the war scythe, the fleets go to the 'hole' to find if there are any warheads arranged." She pointed to the marked red dots on the map and said, "Search outward with the sea star as the center. , the pilots know the key points of stealth operations, right?"

"It's clear to everyone," Beria replied, "that it's professional."

"But still be careful—the enemy can even scan the jump trajectory of the black hidden special service ship, so unless it is absolutely necessary, don't use the stealth jump to leave the field. Liu Lizi, have you sorted out the data yet?"

"No problem," Liu Lizi nodded, "It has been sent."

The key to stealth jumping is stealth. If the opponent has a way to track it, then this way of jumping will lose its meaning.Therefore, it is time to use the navigation method provided by the locals.

That is the deep subspace tunnel navigation method used by Jasmine—through years of detection and recording, these privateers have their own unique 'secret road map'.

Just as the pirates in the past had their own places to hide their treasures, so do the privateers of this era, but it is not a certain island or a certain fjord, but a set of corridor routes that go deeper into subspace than ordinary routes picture.This comes from hundreds of years of development and accumulation. With this, the privateers can reach their destination secretly in a relatively safe situation.

This kind of life-saving and eating guy can never be passed on to the outside world.But this time, Jasmine gave Oregana the route map in her hand without hesitation.

"If this can save the world, I think it's very cost-effective." At that time, the expression on the face of the girl captain was like the brave man who saw the storm coming from the sky, but still ordered the brave man who sailed, "Disasters always follow one after another. Do what you can."

Oregana, looking at the route map gradually entered into the database, then turned to the communication window on the side of the screen and said:

"Good enlightenment... Having this has helped a lot, and we don't know how to thank you."

This route map may save more than one world. I am afraid that the ancestors who drew this map did not expect that one day in the future, the things used to save their own lives could save the lives of countless people.

"If you want to thank me, your trust and friendship will be enough."

Oregana didn't know how to answer the young captain's words...

If this person is a man, he should be very popular with girls. (far eye)

In the end, she could only bow her head slightly:

"You have earned our trust and friendship, and you and Bentenmaru will always be welcome to the Consolidation Department."

By the time the pilots became familiar with this subspace navigation method and the transformation of a certain ship was completed, a week had passed.

Nothing seemed to happen this week.

The fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee is still wandering around, which means that the ghost ship has not been captured or sunk. God knows what method he used to escape the pursuit of more than 100 warships under that circumstance.Tartarus has been paying attention to the situation over there, and sent the battleships one by one into the "black field" between the galaxies in batches, where they will complete the final assembly, And fly around the 'holes' to investigate the situation with the warheads.

And several industrial ships went to Jasmine's port with equipment and components to replace the damaged components of the shattered Leopard, and finally succeeded in restoring most of the combat power of the Black Hidden Special Service Ship within a week—although The failure of the backup capacitor bank of the jump engine has not been repaired (because it has to be dismantled and overhauled, and the time is too late), which makes it take more than an hour and 45 minutes to restart the jump engine, but in the current situation where the maneuver does not rely on jumping Under the circumstances, continuous jumping ability is not very important.

Liu Lizi is very much looking forward to the next meeting with that ghost ship—this time she is not fighting alone.

"The stealth action system, this is really an ingenious device." The chunky man wearing glasses operated on the operation panel of the bridge for a while, with a joyful feeling unique to technicians on his face, "Completed, Harlock! The software adaptation has been completed. Done, Arcadia can now use this system."

"Thank you, Tajiro."

This man named Duojilang looks ugly at first glance, but he is quite a magical guy, as if he can't handle technical matters without him.After completing the refit of Arcadia with the technicians of the Consolidation Department, the battleship will join the operation as part of the fleet of the Combat Coordination Department.Oregana hitch a ride on the Arcadia to the Pirate Galaxy, and then transfer to the Panther, which has completed overhaul.

The design of this Arcadia is fundamentally different from that of the Death Shadow-class No. [-] ship—her main turret layout is more traditional, without fancy slide rails, and all three triple-mounted main guns face forward. One is on the skyside (that is, above the hull) and one is on the bottom side, and it also has a hangar that can carry a squadron of fighter jets.Although the design of the hull is rough, it is excellent and reliable, and it can conduct automatic navigation without manual operation at all-the main computer of the spacecraft is an artificial intelligence with independent consciousness.

In Harlock's eyes, the Arcadia is not a tool, but his friend and partner, which is his pride.

However, although this ship has a strong combat effectiveness, it has an advantage in previous wars.But that is also a strong battleship level, and it is still weaker than the ghost ship with the same name next door.

Harlock also knew this, but he still hoped to meet the person who was exactly like himself, to find out why he did such a thing.

The companions on Arcadia followed him and did not ask him why he chose to join this operation.This made Harlock feel a little guilty...

He never told anyone his real reason for joining the operation—not for justice or glory, but for his own fear.

If the person who looks exactly like me is really me in another world, then it should be very similar to me.Harlock knew what kind of person he was, and knew that he would never do such a thing, but...

That Harlock did, what made him choose to take this path?What happened to him?If he also encountered this kind of thing, would he degenerate into his appearance?In the past few days, whenever I close my eyes, the gloomy one eye that seems to be looking at myself in the mirror emerges from my mind, staring at me firmly.

Harlock is afraid of his own fall, and he really wants to know what caused the fall of himself in another world.If you don't figure it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life.

The steel gate in front slowly opened, Harlock swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the fear in his heart, held the wooden steering wheel with both hands, and said loudly:

"Arcadia, set sail."

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

"The fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee is still in Cetus." The fat pirate wearing glasses grinned, watching the information on the screen and laughing contemptuously, "They haven't realized that we are no longer there."

While in Cetus, Arcadia encountered the greatest crisis since sailing.That powerful battleship destroyed Arcadia's engine, which forced the captain to turn off all external energy devices on the battleship, disguise the ship as an asteroid and squat in the asteroid belt for more than 40 hours.After that, when they left the current galaxy, they jumped on the edge of the star's gravitational field, using the star's gravitational field to cover their own track, and then escaped from the siege and interception of the Gaia Sanctions Committee.

Harlock knew that his estimate was correct, that ship was indeed a visitor from the subspace, and her purpose was obviously to prevent herself from unraveling the knot of time.

After all, if you think about something like letting the universe restart, you will know that the shock to the subspace is very large, and those 'things' inside probably don't want to see this happen.

But nothing can stop him, not even monsters from the Warp.

Now that they have noticed them, he must move faster.There is no time to arrange space-time shock bombs on the 'knot' of Ceteus. Now there are Gaia fleet and warships in subspace, so they can only come later.Now the other places must be placed immediately.

"Gorham Galaxy, the eighth planet, Tokaga." Hallock stood beside the steering gear, staring at the planet with a purple halo. "No. 90 eight, placed here."

Comparison of old and new Arcadia

Chapter 767 Chapter 694: Catch the current...?

What's the scariest thing for the crew of a scout ship?

Are too many targets found?Or is it too close?

These are actually nothing, because if the stealth specialized ship is making a transition, the spatial fluctuations at the end of the transition are almost undetectable, and experienced players can completely open the cloaking device before the superposition state disappears to avoid being discovered.As long as you don't just jump into the middle of a large fleet and hit people directly in the face, basically nothing will happen.

So what is the scariest thing?

The scariest thing, according to anyone who's ever done scouting, is when you come in with no ships in the area.So you carefully set up observation equipment and prepare for long-term fixed-point observation—you cannot be invisible when you open the hatch and throw things outside. This time is actually in a state of unobstructed exposure.

Then at this moment, an enemy warship was suddenly spotted on the detector...

For example, this is like an exorcist entering a haunted mansion to exorcise spirits. When he entered, there were no ghosts, so he began to draw an enchantment on the ground. When he was halfway through the painting, there was a pale and cold hand on his shoulder. They climbed up, and then a head with long hair hung down from above and looked at each other.

This can scare people's souls out...

So soldiers used to always joke about it—Marines do No. 1 shooting, battleship pilots do third-person shooting, and scout pilots play horror games with shooting elements.

Cicely Morgan of the Japari Chapter had only considered this as a meme until 3 minutes ago.At that time, she was hiding in the star ring of the gas giant, fixed the hull of the ship with anchor cables in the pit outside a [-]-kilometer-diameter satellite, and was releasing passive sensors.As a result, the ghost ship appeared without warning, less than two light seconds away from this ship, and drove past the outer side of the star ring. She was almost scared to death.

But fortunately, the other party didn't notice this at all. It is possible that this nickel-iron core satellite successfully concealed the gravitational response of this salvation-class black stealth special service ship. The magnetic field, radiation and high-intensity gravitational field of the gas giant star simultaneously Interference with the ghost ship's detectors.After the black warship with a skeleton bow finished jumping, it turned its bow and started a short-distance tactical leap towards the eighth planet, leaving the orbit of the gas giant and disappearing into the distance.

The whole boat is silent, it's like squatting behind the table to hide from carnivorous dinosaurs in Jurassic Park...

After the ghost ship was far away, Cicely Morgan immediately turned on the invisibility system—she didn’t dare to turn on the invisibility system when he was still there, for fear that she would not notice it at first, and a lump of invisible shadows suddenly disappeared and would be noticed ——Start calling the headquarters:

"This belongs to the Third Fleet, the vanguard reconnaissance ship 'Eye of the Storm'." She sent back the information collected and the pictures taken by the optical sensor launched earlier, "Our current position is In the Gorham galaxy, the target was found on the orbit of the seventh planet, and now the target is going to the orbit of the eighth planet. Energy response comparison-confirmed that it is a ghost ship. Repeat, Gorham found the target on the eighth planet, it is a ghost ship."

[Have you been discovered?What is the status of the opponent's ship? ] Oregana was the first to respond—she is obviously not in the rear base now. Judging from the picture on the background, she seems to be in the bridge of the Panther.This ship has just been repaired not long ago, and it should still be undergoing a system review [Are the thrusters, main guns, and auxiliary guns still there? 】

During the previous battle with Liulizi, the battleship suffered serious structural damage, which logically cannot be dealt with without going back to the dock for overhaul.After that battle, the Leopard’s internal injuries have not yet been repaired, and it has to return to New Eden to solve it. The ghost ship, which was continuously penetrated by 1400mm, should suffer even greater losses.

But the answer sent back by the scout made Oregana couldn't help but sigh.

"The shell is in good condition, with no signs of combat."

She also sent back the recorded images.In the picture, this ghost ship looks like a new one. All the equipment on the black hull is intact. The poop and the two main propellers swaying with surging power have everything, and there is nothing missing.

The level of completeness is as if there is more than one boat, and people just throw away the broken one and find an identical boat to pull it out and drive it.

Tsk... Does this mean that it is necessary to inflict extremely terrible damage to the opponent at one time, burn the entire ship to ashes on the spot, or do not stop the bombardment for a long time until the hull is completely damaged?

But the top priority now is not to destroy the ghost ship, but to figure out what it is here for.

According to the marking map provided by Scythe of War, there is a 'hole' in Cetus, and the 'hole' closest to Cetus is in this galaxy named Gorham.The Third Fleet conducted a search operation around Gorham, trying to find space-time shock warheads that might have been buried.But before he even had time to find the warhead, the other party came directly...

Is this fleet discovered?The purpose of his coming here is to expel these intruders who are trying to get their hands on the 'treasure' he buried?

No... Judging from the ghost ship's reaction, Zha didn't even notice the Eye of the Storm that was hiding around the gas giant at the moment.He ran straight for Gorham-8...

Could it be that the bomb here hasn't been buried yet, so he's here to plant the bomb now?

[Pay attention to silence, reduce the use of active detectors, and report the situation at any time. 】Oregana swallowed a mouthful of saliva【Check whether the hidden induction system is available. 】

When the other party is ordering the bag, if you provoke him, he may explode with you while holding the bag.The safest way at this time is to wait for the other party to finish downloading the bag first—you can’t just stay here and stare at the bag, right?

As soon as he left, he immediately sent someone down to unpack.As long as a research is dismantled and understood, everyone will be able to figure out what the idea of ​​Suha is.

"The hidden induction system is normal. Please inform the Gaia Sanctions Committee of the fleet's location."

Of course, contact with the Gaia Sanctions Committee should be avoided as much as possible at this stage—to be honest, Oregana’s trust in the Gaia Sanctions Committee is actually quite low.The current virtue has something to do with the Gaia Sanctions Committee. If they could have dealt with the matter carefully decades earlier instead of spending most of their energy on covering up the cover, the current situation will definitely not be like this look.

Moreover, taking a step back, they should have accumulated some tactics or techniques against Harlock over the years, right?

The answer is no...

This feels like the loyal company of the Caliban team catching the fallen angel monster with two guns and one sword. Catching a hundred centuries is like catching slime with a net bag, which is useless.

Do you have any experience?

Yes, as much experience as the loser eats dust, and nothing else. (cover face)

Oregana strongly felt that if she contacted the Gaia Sanctions Committee under such circumstances, the first reaction of the Gaia Sanctions Committee might not be to cooperate in catching pirates, but to habitually cover up...

It's better to be honest and come by yourself.

[The main fleet of the Gaia Sanctions Committee is still in the Cetus. 】She replied【Compared with the previous detection results, there are seven warships missing...Although it is most likely that they were sunk or captured during the contact with the ghost ship, it is still possible to leave as a scout ship, pay more attention Take a moment—the Gaia Sanctions Committee is also a warning target. 】

"learn!"

Knowing what she had to do, Cicely Morgan began to observe the ship with the passive scanner and the concealed probe that had been projected in advance and was now in working condition.

"See something?" asked the navigator. "The sensor has noticed a new source of heat, is it emitting something?"

"It can't be seen clearly with passive detectors alone... The other party seems to have released a shuttle to the surface of the planet."

The phantom ship hovered over the planet with the purple atmosphere, a blurred point of light breaking away from the shadow of the ship's hull and crashing into the atmosphere--the heat and light of its entry into the atmosphere could be seen by the covert probe.But in order to reduce the size and increase the concealment, the performance of the concealment probe is not good, and only vague shadows can be barely photographed here.

"Shuttle? Let it out and have a look."

"The image is blurry. Look, this shuttle looks weird."

In the fuzzy image, the shuttle looks like a conical space shuttle, like the kind of space shuttle that appears in some unconventional alien movies.From the blurry pixels, it can be barely discerned that the jet light of the propeller is not at the tail, but in the middle of the shuttle—if this is a person, the jet light is probably on the skirt of the ballet dancer dancing the four little swans .

This structure is honestly not very economical and not very safe...
