Knocking wonders from the space station

This fleet cannot be allowed to sail to the Sky Galaxy intact.

This is the consensus of the crew of the Fireworks.

However, no matter how powerful the Xinhuo is, it is only a flagship the size of a destroyer. It is definitely not possible to fight head-on. Once caught, it will not be able to withstand the opponent's several shots.

Special tactical coordination is required.

Lu Feng quickly browsed the battlefield information collected on March 7, and his brain was working rapidly.

This imperial fleet was originally scattered throughout the galaxy, guarding the 12 mining outposts and the interstellar fortress that was being built.

at the same time,

These imperial warships are also accompanied by a large number of exploration engineering ships and transport ships. Spaceships of large and small sizes are cruising around the fleet like swarms, conducting three-dimensional mapping of the unfamiliar galaxy environment around them, and analyzing sources of interference they encounter.

sampling.

This move seems mindless,

In fact, just as the navy in the Earth era needed to survey and map hydrographic information, astronomical surveying and mapping of a new galaxy is also of great strategic significance.

Some starry skies may appear to be empty, but the spacecraft may encounter gravitational anomalies or unknown interference when passing there. If not prepared, it may affect navigation at least, or seriously affect the direction of a battle.

No one wants to fight local snakes in a star field they don't understand.

Since the Imperial Army wants to turn this interstellar mine into its own back garden, surveying and mapping work will be an indispensable part. They have been busy with this before.

Now,

These scattered fleets seem to have received orders, and some of them are recovering the vehicles that took off from their own ships and handling some finishing work.

Those spacecraft that were not encumbered by friendly forces directly entered warp speed and began to assemble in the direction of the Tianjixing channel.

The build-up is still in progress, and it is currently unclear how many ships the other side will build.

Fortunately, the opponent's assembly speed was not fast. They probably did not feel how urgent it was, and they certainly did not expect that Baron Nutt's squadron would be completely annihilated.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked so calm and composed, and he would have stung a hornet's nest long ago.

From this, it can be inferred that the other party cannot communicate across galaxies in real time. At least, Baron Nat, who is the forward, cannot communicate with the main fleet in real time.

The distance between galaxies is generally very far, and the electromagnetic waves used as signal carriers may take months or years to arrive. Therefore, shipboard super-light communication modules have always been a strategic resource strictly controlled by major military forces.

The empire will establish a permanent hyperspace communication network among the galaxies within its territory. Civilian communications must be carried out through this channel. The content of communications is closely monitored by the Imperial Intelligence Agency at all times. This is an important measure to ensure the stability of the empire's foundation.

one.

now,

Lu Feng asked March 7 to conduct a detailed screening of the Earl's fleet, and finally found the only special antenna array on the island of a Jaeger-class ship.

Hyperspace communication module!

This must be the opponent's flagship. With the help of this device, the fleet can communicate in real time across the star sea and the hinterland of the empire.

However,

Lu Feng can be very sure that there is absolutely no such thing on Baron Nut's flagship, which means that Baron Nut can only receive the hyperspace signal from the Earl's fleet, but cannot transmit it back.

This is easier to handle.

As long as this flagship can be captured in advance, the information from Tianjixing can be blocked in this galaxy, preventing the other party from attacking people from home if they cannot defeat it.

current,

The main force of the opponent's fleet is recovering the vehicles and completing the finishing work. Although it cannot be done faster, it will not take more than two or three hours no matter how slow it is. The Imperial Army still has this efficiency.

This is not sufficient for the Xinhuo, which needs to complete its tactical arrangements.

However, the Xinhuo's deep stealth cruise time is only 3 hours. Exceeding this time will cause the spacecraft to be exposed, so it is a mandatory requirement to retire before then.

"March 7, let's go, let's go to the mining outpost farthest from the assembly point."

…

Half an hour later, on the flagship of the Empire's 46th Fleet, which had arrived at the assembly point, Viscount Wright put his hands behind his back and silently stared at the mysterious channel with turbulent nebulae in the distance for a long time.

Viscount Wright is the commander-in-chief of the 46th Fleet. The exploration fleet that Baron Nutt took previously belongs to the 46th Fleet. Baron Nutt is his son, and the family patriarch, Earl Coote, is his father.

Three nobles in one sect!

Three generations of the family have titles, which shows that the titles of the old earl's children and grandchildren are not hereditary. They did not rely on the shadow of their ancestors. Instead, they worked hard and were rewarded by the emperor for their new achievements.

If you go to the empire and ask around now, you will know that the Marsh family is the most prosperous pioneer family in the empire.

After many years, the empire has restarted its plan to expand its territory, and the Marsh family, as the first echelon to expand its territory, has received a lot of preferential treatment. They purchased retired imperial warships in the name of the family and formed the 46th Expansion Fleet as their preparation.

One of the manifestations of being favored.

At this moment, Viscount Wright was a little unhappy with his son's risky decision.

It stands to reason that the discovery of this mineral system is enough for the family to make a fortune or even start a new family business. There is no need to take risks for the sake of a habitable star and the indigenous people on it.

According to his opinion, the opponent's galaxy has only one exit here, and it belongs to the turtle in the urn. The most important thing at the moment is to protect this mineral system to prevent it from being invaded by the greedy Weigel people, instead of showing off its power over a bunch of natives.

.

Unfortunately, his son finally convinced him.

Because this passage showed signs of being closed at the time, Baron Nutt felt that this opportunity should not be missed to avoid long nights and nightmares, so he led a squadron to take the first step.

As a result, there has been no news until now.

Viscount Wright sighed.

The subsequent reconnaissance ships sent without exception never returned. He didn't know that they were intercepted by the Skyline United Fleet, but he was sure that something had happened on the other side.

For the sake of his son, Wright decided to take the risk and lead the fleet to rescue him. He has already asked for help from his family. As long as the fleet left here can last for a while, the family's support will arrive.

Although Fleet 46 is already the most elite force of the family, the support force has an old battleship and also carries a large-scale engineering fleet, which can completely repair the interstellar fortress.

With the help of the Interstellar Fortress, the Vegels will have to think carefully if they want to occupy this place.

After completing the registration with the empire and establishing the star gate, the Marsh family will be able to completely bring this galaxy under actual control and become the new foundation of the family.

The premise is that he can handle the accident here well.

"Tell the captains that I will see them gathered around me within the hour."

"Well, Your Excellency Viscount, there seems to be something going on with Captain Jack. He just sent a communication saying that he found a meteorite that is suspected to contain stardust veins! Not only that, he also said that he detected it at the other end of the galaxy.

Suspicious heat signature..."

"What did you say?"

Viscount Wright immediately tightened his eyebrows.

He was quite happy to hear about the Stardust veins at first, but the subsequent information made his expression become grim instantly.

I am really afraid of what will happen.

This galaxy is not bordering the Empire's territory. If there is a suspicious heat source, there is a high probability that it is coming from someone with bad intentions.

Is the family's treasure trove about to be exposed so soon?
