Galaxy Technology Empire

The attacking fleet was advancing at full speed while formulating a plan specifically to deal with the Dark Beast Civilization.

As the days passed, the Dark Beast invasion fleet and the Alliance attack fleet were getting closer and closer, while the Explorer was getting further and further away from each other.

August 19, Galaxy 3, 108 days have passed since the Explorer encountered the Dark Beast invasion fleet.

Aboard the Explorer, Fang Haibo, who was responsible for managing communications, still did not give up using the quantum communication system to contact the alliance.

Sudden.

[Ding dong! Qubits that can be synchronized are detected, and the data is updated...]

Fang Haibo stood up immediately: "Let's see if quantum communication has been restored?"

"Yes." Several soldiers in charge of communications nervously tested the quantum communication system. They tried to dial the nearest qubit to them [Third Alliance Army's Third Fleet, First Squadron], but the connection was intermittently successful. .

"Great, it seems that we have initially left the quantum communication shielding range of the Dark Beast invasion fleet. Let's see what the range is?" Fang Haibo said happily.

Facing the inability to conduct quantum communication these days, they feel as depressed as they used to walk so fast that their feet were shackled.

"We are currently 1,102 astronomical units away from the enemy. It is estimated that the enemy's quantum communication shielding range is about 1,100 astronomical units in radius." The soldier quickly replied.

Ma Wu, who was commanding the battleship, did not smile too much after hearing this data. This was just a reference value and could not rule out the possibility of intentional misdirection by the enemy. He ordered: "Contact the Alliance Army headquarters immediately. Report our situation, and also talk about the communication shielding range, but remind them that this shielding range is not necessarily the enemy's maximum range."

"Okay." Fang Haibo immediately stopped smiling.

…

"Temporarily determined that the maximum shielding range is a radius of 1,100 units?" After Zhang Fubo read the data, he entered the data into the supercomputer and performed data deduction.

"This data can only be used as a reference at best, and we cannot trust it entirely," Titov reminded.

"I know, but this data can still be used as a reference." Zhang Fubo looked at the supercomputer's deduction results.

Titov reported some news to Zhang Fubo: "Commander, the Alliance Army has expanded the Third Fleet to 12 squadrons, and other fleets have also undergone very large expansions."

"It's better to be more prepared. After all, we are prepared. How is our anti-jamming gravity bomb transformation going?" Zhang Fubo asked with a solemn expression.

Titov shook his head: "It's very difficult. The other party has quantum communication shielding technology. We can only use neutrino communication, but neutrino communication is not necessarily safe. Maybe the other party can also interfere or even block it."

"Try our best. If it doesn't work, we will use the last resort." Zhang Fubo said as if he were dead.

"..." Titov also fell silent.

…

The invasion fleet of the Dark Beast Civilization.

The big Buck Benhuan, who had just eaten a meal, was resting under the service of his adjutant Ben Kru, when suddenly the deputy Buck Ben came over puffing.

"What's wrong?" Ben Huan asked calmly.

"Big Buck, if we follow the current speed, we will encounter the Sothian fleet before arriving at the designated resource planet. Do we need to activate a backup plan?" Ben Zefei asked.

The lines on Benhuan's body suddenly turned redder and redder. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, the red lines on his body seemed to soften: "Benhuan, where is the backup planet?"

Ben Kru immediately replied respectfully: "Dear Big Buck, there is a spare planet, which is about 290 Da (1270 astronomical units) away from us, but it is 1.37 degrees different from our current sailing direction. There is another spare planet. The planet's mass is less than one-third of its intended mass."

"No, there are some small planets and stardust around the backup planet. With these materials, we can get half of the materials. If we add the materials that our fleet brings, we can get 80%." This is not a reminder.

The red lines on Ben Huan's body turned red again. It seemed that the intense thinking had made him a little depressed. He said slowly: "Change the route and set off to the alternate planet."

"Yes, Big Buck." Ben Zefei immediately turned around and puffed out air to instruct the fleet to change its flight direction.

Benkru quickly ordered the soldiers to bring the food over, and Benkru's six tentacles quickly stuffed the worms, eyeballs, and unknown meat on the plate into his mouth.

The Dark Beast invasion fleet, under Ben Zefei's order, quickly changed its course and headed for the backup planet 1,270 units away from their fleet.

At this time, the Dark Beast invasion fleet was about 4,000 units away from the attacking fleet. The attacking fleet did not yet know that the Dark Orcs had changed their sailing direction.

Galaxy 3 August 27th.

"What? The invasion fleet suddenly changed direction? Okay, I understand." Zhang Fubo looked thoughtful after closing the communication with Ma Wu.

Obviously the Explorer was closer to the invasion fleet. This abnormal situation was discovered less than seven days after the invasion fleet changed its sailing direction. Ma Wu immediately reported the situation to the oncoming fleet.

This is the trouble without faster-than-light communication and monitoring methods. In the large-scale universe, the enemy may have changed its trajectory, but it will take a long time for observers to observe this situation.

"Why did these insects suddenly change their sailing direction?" Titov was also very surprised.

"I don't know." Zhang Fubo was also thinking about the reason why the Dark Beast invasion fleet suddenly changed its route. He carefully observed the star map.

Suddenly a detail came into his sight, and Zhang Fubo said to himself: "Is it this asteroid? Huh?"

"What asteroid?" Titov was confused.

"Look at the route of the invasion fleet. Before it changed, they were not really sailing with the Explorer. They were heading towards the Ice God 5472 asteroid." Zhang Fubo used a red dotted line to separate the invasion fleet and Ice God. Asteroid 5472 is connected and roughly coincides with the direction of the invasion fleet.

Zhang Fubo continued: "After changing their navigation direction, they headed towards another asteroid, Ice God 6441. Why do the Dark Orcs have a soft spot for asteroids?"

"Supplementary resources?" Titov guessed.

"It's possible. In addition, I guess they changed the route because the Ice God 5472 asteroid is closer to us. After they changed the route, our interception distance became much larger." Zhang Fubo frowned.

In the previous route, the two sides flew almost relative to each other. At the speed of the attack fleet, it would take about 2550 units to advance before meeting each other. Now that the route changes, this distance may become 3100 units.

"Change the sailing direction immediately. No matter what the other party's plot is, we can only use it as a warning." Zhang Fubo ordered.

"Yes." Titov turned around and conveyed orders to each squadron commander.

The attacking fleet quickly changed its direction, and at the same time it became more vigilant towards the Dark Beast Civilization. The opponent must have their reasons for this sudden change, and the attacking fleet had to guard against the enemy's machinations.

In addition, Zhang Fubo quickly reported this situation back to the headquarters.

In the brilliant void, two hostile space fleets changed their sailing directions one after another and rushed towards the unknown future.
