When Bart's situation was reported back to the Federation.
Su He also had to sigh.
What an eventful year...
The matter in the Small Magellanic Cloud has not yet been resolved. On the side of Sextant A, there has been another invasion by a civilization suspected of being an alien galaxy group.
And this kind of thing also happened in the Sculptor galaxy group.
If this becomes an enemy of the Federation, then the four fronts are under attack, okay?
Star Zerg...
The gods of Masar...
Unknown alien galaxy group civilization invades...
Plus Bart’s side!!
Anyway...
Headache!
It seems that the mass production of joint battleships and the completion of the attached civilized standard mercenary fleet must be accelerated.
Otherwise, things may get out of control in the future.
"Help me notify General Mu Zhengfeng and General Gao Tianyang of the Military Department to attend a special meeting at the Presidential Palace in thirty minutes."
After touching a virtual button on the desktop, Su He said.
"Yes, President!"
------
Balth Galaxy.
At this moment, it is already the fifth day after the attack on the Scorpion Pirates.
"Captain, everyone has returned to the ship."
"Get ready and leave in three minutes. We've been here long enough."
"clear!"
For Liu Tao, any decision he makes is based on pirate behavior.
And an interstellar pirate group always robs and then runs away.
If it weren't for the Federal Intelligence Department's strong demand for more investigations this time, he would have run away long ago.
After all, for interstellar pirates, the longer they stay in one place, the more dangerous it is.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the past few days and we passed by peacefully.
After giving the order, Liu Tao also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this tone of relief was obviously a little premature.
"Captain, ten light seconds away, a hyperspace window reaction was discovered."
"What...amount?"
"Quantity 1."
Quantity 1?
After hearing the report, Liu Tao was stunned.
"The fleet is ready for battle, and at the same time, let all the transport ships start their hyperspace engines and leave first."
"Yes, leader!"
Ten light seconds away, a huge hyperspace window has opened.
And soon, a battleship flew out from it.
This is a flat warship, with a length of 32,000 meters, and is very similar to the previous spherical metal body.
The shell is also extremely smooth and sparkles with metallic luster.
Obviously, this is a product of civilization, and Liu Tao does not dare to be careless about it at all.
They were even ready to flee immediately if anything went wrong.
"Captain, the target has begun to accelerate and is coming towards us."
"Open fire and kill it!"
"clear!"
The enemy and we are unknown, and it is another encounter.
In this case, testing something is definitely an act seeking death.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to act first and with all your strength.
Liu Tao did exactly that.
The next moment, countless silver-white voids were launched from thousands of battleships and enveloped the battleships ten light seconds away.
"Captain, the enemy ship has begun to accelerate...so fast!"
"Captain, a one-way barrier similar to a shield has been detected in front of the enemy ship."
"The attack has arrived and the effect of the attack is being confirmed!"
"99.78% lost, only four attacks hit, and failed to break through the defensive barrier released by the enemy ship."
"The attack had no effect!"
At this moment, Liu Tao was completely stunned.
You said that before, those spherical metal bodies could maneuver at super high speeds, so forget it...
As a result, your current ship, which is more than 30,000 meters long, can also accelerate and move like this?
Isn’t it a little too ungrateful?
"The distance is far enough now, and we still have many opportunities to attack."
"No longer plan firepower according to the way to deal with warships, but change to the way we used to deal with those spherical metal bodies, and re-plan the firepower strike plan."
"He can withstand 4 space attacks, but I don't believe he can withstand 40 or 400 rounds!!"
Liu Tao also got angry.
The distance of ten light seconds is a total of three million kilometers. Even if you accelerate to the speed of light, it will still take ten seconds.
What's more, it's impossible to accelerate to the speed of light.
Generally speaking, if you want to be unaffected by time, you can only accelerate to about 18% at sub-light speed. If you accelerate further, it will not work.
The reason why the Federation's light speed impact ship can accelerate to 0.99 times the speed of light is because it is equipped with a time effect countermeasure device to avoid falling into time dilation.
However, Liu Tao did not think that the other party had such technology.
Therefore, judging from the current data, including the acceleration time, it will take the enemy ship at least more than ten minutes to reach our side.
With this time, the fleet can continue to attempt attacks.
So what if you can avoid most of them in every wave?
Wave after wave, each wave can hit you several times, I don't believe you can resist it all the time.
Not to mention, the closer the distance, the less time the other party has to react.
The reduction in reaction time also means that the probability of him avoiding the attack will decrease.
In the end, it is normal for a wave to be hit by dozens or hundreds of rounds.
but...
"Captain, the other party is releasing something suspected to be a carrier-based combat vehicle."
"Ship-based combat vehicle, similar to a mecha or fighter plane?"
"I don't know, but the scan shows that this thing is bigger than a mecha!"
"Give me the picture!"
"Yes, leader!"
Soon, an observation image was displayed.
When I saw what was in the picture, the entire bridge was blown away.
Isn't this thing the same spherical metal body from five days ago?
At this moment, there were actually thousands of these things being released from the enemy ship, and then they all dispersed and began to accelerate.
"Captain, the targets are spreading out and continuing to accelerate."
"Are we going to attack the enemy ship now, or..."
Inside the bridge, the gunnery officer was a little confused as to what to do.
Although the previous battleship was outrageous, he didn't worry too much. After all, it was so far away, and he could always kill it as long as waves of fire were focused on it.
But now the situation is different. Thousands of spherical metal bodies are scattered, and they are spreading further and further.
This makes the fleet lose the possibility of covering and concentrated fire strikes.
So, should we continue to attack enemy ships now?
Or intercept those spherical metal bodies?
The most important thing is that even if you want to intercept those spherical metal objects, it is not easy.
Because they are too scattered.
The reason for the incident five days ago was because thirty-six of them were killed right away. Only one was left, so the fleet could easily deal with it.
But now...
There are thousands of them, and they are completely scattered. How to intercept them?
"Continue to attack that battleship. Once you kill it...run away immediately!"
"clear!"
Although the word "escape" does not appear in the federal fleet, at most it means retreat.
But with Liu Tao and the original members of the Scorpion Pirates...
But it's not surprising at all.
Don't run away...
Is that still a pirate?
Is it possible to be like the regular army and fight to the death without retreating, or is it possible to alternately cover and retreat?
Stop joking, just run away, this is how pirates behave.
With Liu Tao's decision, the others were also determined and continued to attack the battleship one after another.
At this time, somewhere inside the Slayer battleship, a large device was emitting bursts of white light, and at the same time, a series of mechanical sounds also continued to sound.
[Battlefield analysis completed]
[The probability of this ship being destroyed within the next minute is 91.7%]
[The probability of the invader fleet being destroyed by the Annihilators is 89.3%]
[The probability of the invader escaping after destroying the ship is 99.8%]
[Start calculating the best response...]
[The calculation has been completed. Immediately deploy long-range firepower to target the rear of the invader fleet and the non-combat ship assembly position, forcing the combat fleet to abandon its current position and firepower deployment. 】
The next moment, whether it is a Slayer battleship or an Annihilator battle weapon.
Its extremely smooth shell has a large number of naval guns deployed on it.
And these naval guns were not pointed at the battle fleet of the Scorpion Pirate Group, but at...
The hyperspace engine is being started and the transport fleet is ready to evacuate at any time.
