War always starts unexpectedly.

Especially in interstellar warfare, you never know when you will be hit.

So even when you think it's absolutely safe, don't let your guard down.

The tragic example of the Thrall civilization fleet is a good lesson for the new humans in the wandering fleet.

Because the thruster it is equipped with is a more advanced second-generation gravitational propulsion system, its speed is faster, reaching 95% of the speed of light.

In order to catch up with the Thrall civilization ahead, this new propulsion system can only be used.

However, once a propulsion system of this level is installed, the threat to the Thrall civilization will rise sharply. After all, it is a more advanced propulsion system than theirs.

Therefore, in order to reduce its own threat level, the camouflage fleet will be built very crudely.

In addition to artificial rust, the hull is made of different materials and looks like it has been patched.

At the same time, the electromagnetic protection system was cancelled, leaving the hull directly exposed.

Someone originally proposed that the camouflage fleet continuously send distress signals to the outside world after setting off, but Minister Chui rejected it.

"No, this is too deliberate. There is no need to do anything more. This step is enough."

The camouflage fleet was built one year after the combat meeting and has been sailing for three years now.

As early as a week ago, the camouflage fleet began to receive warnings from the Savi civilization intermittently.

However, there has been no reply from New Humanity.

As of today, the distance between the three special camouflage detectors and the Saar civilization is only ten astronomical units.

"Report to Captain, the other party has sent the eighth warning."

"Ignore it."

Zhang Yuan stared at the Thrall civilization fleet on the screen with a serious expression.

In the past few days, because the camouflaged fleet has not restored the warning of the Thrall civilization, the Thrall civilization has made many evasive maneuvers.

It's just that because of the angle problem, the Thrall civilization has no way to avoid it. If we avoid it again, the route of the Thrall civilization will deviate from the fast lane.

Twenty minutes later.

"Reporting to the captain, Sal Civilization has sent a warning again, and they said that if they do not avoid it, the other party will take coercive measures."

"Ignore them and keep approaching."

Thirty minutes.

"Report to the captain, the other party sent three very urgent warnings in succession."

Zhang Yuan looked at the distance between the two sides, and there were eight astronomical units. He frowned and looked at Minister Chui next to him.

"Minister Chui, what do you think we should do next? Should we continue to ignore it, or..."

Regarding the situation at hand, Minister Chui is also very nervous. He has prepared plans for many years and has wasted countless resources. It is impossible to avoid it and he will not avoid it.

But judging from the news sent by Sal Civilization, the other party has been pushed to the limit by them. If no measures are taken, the other party may really take action now.

Just by taking action at this distance, they cannot predict many situations. When the Kerbal peacekeeping system arrives, they will inevitably be exposed.

After pondering for a moment, Minister Chui suddenly raised his head: "Since the other party strongly wants us to avoid it, then give them a reason why they can't avoid it."

"Detonate the No. 1 and No. 2 camouflaged frigates in sequence, blowing up the main ship's main engine and one-third of the detectors at the same time."

Although I don't understand the order of the Minister, as a soldier, it is my duty to obey orders.

Although Zhang Yuan also didn't understand what Minister Chui was doing, he didn't stop him out of trust.

The operators who remotely controlled the camouflage fleet pressed the self-destruct button without any hesitation.

The signal of the self-destruction program is transmitted along the quantum entanglement channel to the control center of the camouflage fleet.

A bright light flashed on the screen in the command room.

"No. 1 and No. 2 armed frigates have detonated."

"The main ship's main engine has detonated."

Minister Chui, who was always staring at the screen, immediately ordered: "Activate the nano maintenance robot on the main ship for emergency repairs."

"Don't repair it completely. Keep some gaps that can be observed by the Thrall civilization. At the same time, from now on, I will continue to send out strong distress signals. Remember, the distress signals must be intermittent and accompanied by a large number of unnecessary signals."

Then Minister Chui reminded me: "Anyway, show me that we are going to die at any time, and ask them to rescue us."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he understood what Minister Chui was thinking.

Through this set of operations, it completely showed a fleet that was dilapidated and even about to self-destruct, thereby lowering the opponent's vigilance.

Zhang Yuan even speculated that with this set of operations, he might be able to seduce the Thrall civilization to attack the camouflaged fleet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan was convinced by Minister Chui on the spot.

As expected, a professional is a professional, and there is nothing for him to worry about.

As the operators, under the command of Minister Chui, blew up the active forces and equipment of the camouflaged fleet one after another, the Thrall civilization was indeed fooled.

Under their surveillance, the Thrall civilization stopped warning, and after receiving the call for help from the camouflaged fleet, they quickly responded and said they would provide rescue.

However, under the supervision of Minister Chui and others, the Thrall fleet did not show any rescue actions. On the contrary, they began to change the formation of the fleet.

The entire fleet began to change course, and at the same time they observed that the Thrall fleet released a large number of small aircraft, forming a pocket formation in front of the camouflaged fleet.

At the same time, in order not to make the camouflage fleet suspicious, they have been sending messages continuously, explaining that they are doing this for safety reasons, etc.

But everyone knew that they were planning to take advantage of the situation.

Minister Chui and the others were quite happy with this act of taking advantage of the Thrall civilization.

It's just that although the Thrall civilization has performed so badly, they still retain a trace of vigilance.

Their main ship always maintained a distance of five astronomical units from their detectors, and only sent a large number of detectors close to the camouflaged fleet in preparation for approaching reconnaissance.

Minister Chui had already expected this.

"Detonate the No. 3 armed frigate, then gradually turn the left steering engine to pretend to be affected, detonate the two steering engines, and at the same time offer them a large reward and ask them to carry out rescue as quickly as possible."

"Once we are finished, they won't be able to catch anything. I wonder if they are in a hurry."

What happened next was exactly what Minister Chui expected. After detonating the last armed frigate and issuing a statement, Sal responded immediately and civilizedly.

Although the main ship still did not approach, they released a large number of small rescue ships.

The most important thing is that they finally focused all their attention on the approaching camouflage fleet.

Against this background, three small special detectors were the main ship approaching the Saar civilization.

4 astronomical units.

3 astronomical units.

"All military teams prepared."

As the main ship of special detectors approaches, other detectors also begin to be activated.

They will defend the remaining living forces of the Thrall civilization at the moment when the main ship of the Thrall civilization is torn to pieces.

Each of these detectors hides a small high-energy particle beam emitter.

2.5 astronomical units.

2 astronomical units.
