Just when the Federation was frantically increasing its warship production capacity.
In Bartene, the plundering operation of the Scorpion Pirates has also reached its final stage.
After all, each time a wormhole is opened, it only lasts for one year.
In addition to the two months spent in the passage on the way back and forth, the entire robbery actually only lasted ten months.
Once this time has elapsed and the wormhole has not returned, we can only stay here and wait for the interstellar pirate federation to open the wormhole to this galaxy again.
With luck, it might only be a year.
If you're not lucky, you may not be able to wait for hundreds of years.
Of course, whether there is a wormhole or not does not have much impact on the Scorpion Pirates.
After all, they are all battleships equipped with hyperspace engines. Even if there is no wormhole, they can still sail through hyperspace and return to the Theed galaxy on their own.
However, there is no need to expose hyperspace technology just to stay a little longer.
It’s not that I’m afraid of anything, but it will always cause some unnecessary trouble.
Especially that guy from Kitamura, if he makes a fuss about this matter, he says that the Scorpion Pirates are from an alien galaxy and are not a civilization native to Sid.
That will add a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Although that was the plan, but...
Liu Tao encountered new troubles at this moment.
At the entrance of the artificial wormhole, two Slayer warships and two thousand Annihilator autonomous weapons have been deployed here.
If you want to forcefully rush into the passage, I am afraid that the entire fleet will lose more than 90%.
"How long is it until the critical point of entering the wormhole?"
"68 hours, Captain, if we miss it, we will have no choice but to return to Sid via hyperspace navigation."
"68 hours...it's a bit troublesome!!"
Looking at the 2002 targets displayed on the deep space radar, Liu Tao also frowned.
"Captain, why don't we let the transport fleet protect us outside and then rush in at once?"
"In this way, the losses of the battle fleet can be minimized. As for the losses of the transport fleet and the people on it, it actually doesn't matter!"
On the sidelines, the deputy made a suggestion.
But what he got in return was Liu Tao's fierce gaze.
"Asshole, we are pirates, how can any pirate throw away what he has stolen?"
"Captain, you're too into the drama..."
"What did you say?"
"No, no, I didn't say anything!"
Liu Tao glared at his deputy again, but soon Liu Tao sighed slightly in his heart.
Do we really want to expose hyperspace technology?
But once exposed, that guy from Kitamura will definitely cause trouble, which will lead to the worst possible outcome.
The Scorpion Pirates may usher in...
A joint attack by all pirate civilizations in the entire galaxy.
Not afraid, but not afraid. Using hyperspace technology and space technology, even if there are only 1,300 warships, it will be enough to rely on guerrilla warfare to eliminate them all bit by bit.
But, killing all civilizations and then taking over an entire galaxy, is this what I should do?
We are the future pirate king Liu Tao, not Jiang Xingchen!
What should be persisted must be persisted!
"How many lightspeed shockers do we have on board?"
"One hundred ships."
"Have all the cold fusion bombs been installed?"
"It's been installed. Wait, Captain, are you going to use it..."
"Yes, is there any problem?"
"Yes, Captain, this is our trump card, and it's a one-time use."
The deputy quickly advised.
You know, they still have to stay in the Sculptor galaxy group for decades. If they use up all their trump cards at once, what will they use when they encounter danger later?
"It's just a cold fusion bomb. Even if it's the latest generation and has a huge capacity, one shot only has a range of tens of thousands of kilometers. It's far from a killer weapon."
"Speaking of which, it's not the fault of that guy Jiang Xingchen. I told him before I left to give me a few gravity bombs, but this guy just didn't agree."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome. Just throw a gravity bomb at it and everything would be over."
"As for the light speed impact ship carrying cold nuclear fusion bombs, it doesn't matter if it doesn't have this if it encounters civilizations below level five, but it has no effect on civilizations above level five."
"But at this moment, don't you think it's appropriate to use it to deal with these guys?"
Hearing this, the deputy was slightly startled.
It seems like this...
Nothing wrong?
Although the cold nuclear fusion bomb has a large killing range, it has no effect at all on civilizations above level five that have space shields.
Then leave it to deal with civilizations below level five?
The question is, is it possible for those warships of the third and fourth level civilizations to force the 1,300 warships of the Scorpion Pirate Group to use this thing?
Impossible!
On the contrary, these unmanned autonomous weapons...
Although its attack power is powerful, it is not equipped with a shield because of its small size.
A good goal indeed.
"Let's do it this way..."
------
Ten minutes later.
Twenty Pangu-class battleships appeared twenty light seconds away from the passage entrance.
This is the maximum range of that kind of spherical autonomous weapon calculated after several battles with mechanical civilization over the past half year.
At this distance, it is very safe.
The twenty warships did not take action immediately, but stayed there.
But neither the Slayer battleship nor the Annihilator autonomous weapon reacted at all.
It's like you didn't see it.
Good guy, are you planning to defend the entrance to the passage, cut off your retreat, and then deploy warships from other places to encircle and suppress it?
Seeing this scene, Liu Tao was also thinking about the other party's intentions.
Liu Tao's original idea was to use twenty warships as bait first. If the opponent left the entrance of the passage and came to encircle and suppress them, then his fleet would sail directly to the entrance of the passage through hyperspace and then rush in.
After all, although I would not feel a pity to use these one hundred light speed impact ships, there is no need to waste them if they can be used, right?
But, now it seems that it still won’t work after all.
The other party has made it clear that he won't move.
If that's the case...
"No need to wait, start taking action!"
"Yes, leader!"
The next moment, five hundred-meter-long light speed impact ships were released from each of the twenty Pangu-class battleships.
Each locks on to the target, then accelerates, accelerates, accelerates again!
Perhaps, the acceleration efficiency of the light speed impact ship is weaker than that of mechanical civilization.
But extremely fast...
But it is not comparable to mechanical civilization.
After all, mechanical civilization does not have the technology to resist the time effect, so it can only accelerate to 18% of the speed of light at most.
And what about the Federation’s lightspeed impact ship?
Can accelerate to 0.99 times the speed of light.
On the other side, after discovering that the invaders had released a hundred small ships, three Slayer warships also started scanning.
A series of conclusions were quickly drawn.
[According to analysis, the probability of a one-time suicide ramming ship is 97%]
[Recommended response methods, avoid its collision route, there is no need to fight]
[Start calculating avoidance plans]
[Complete calculation, start evasion]
The next second, in the array, a Slayer warship and some Annihilator autonomous weapons began to move.
Stay away from the path of these hundred light speed impact ships.
A few minutes later, the impact ship, which had accelerated to 0.48 times the speed of light, rushed into the array of mechanical civilization.
Soon...
A hundred dazzling white lights lit up instantly.
Devouring its three Slayer battleships and all Annihilator autonomous weapons.
The violent energy ravaged everything.
It didn't start to dissipate until two minutes later.
"Captain, all spherical autonomous weapons have been confirmed to have been destroyed."
"But those three battleships are intact!"
On the bridge, the radar officer is making a report.
"As expected, after all, the shields of those three battleships are also very powerful!"
"Command all warships to start their hyperspace engines immediately."
"Without those spherical autonomous weapons, these three battleships would be toothless tigers."
"Kill them, and then grab a wave of valuable parts from their battleships as our last plunder before returning!"
The next moment, hyperspace windows have been opened one after another.
