Shandai searched on the star map and found that they were all moving downwards and scattered into many small teams, making it impossible to intercept them all.
It was originally a guerrilla method used by interstellar pirates to deal with interstellar fleets, but unexpectedly it was used by interstellar fleets.
Shandai had a headache, so she simply asked the question to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki's reply arrived quickly, with a three-pronged approach.
On the one hand, we are constantly laying out a messenger network and arranging personnel to patrol households at the forefront.
On the one hand, build more battleships, and on the other hand, destroy the stargate.
They are trading space for time, dragging the battlefield tens of thousands of light-years away and spreading the battle lines across trillions of cubic light-years.
As long as our side doesn't pursue it, or doesn't pursue the key point, they will have time and opportunity to set up a stargate and recruit reinforcements.
When the time comes, it will be just a few days away and nothing can be done to stop it.
Therefore, the key to this battle is to find the opponent's stargate as soon as possible, and then destroy them, leaving them completely without backup.
As long as there is no backup, even if they have 60 million warships, they are just a turtle in a urn.
However, there must be many places where the opponent's team has set up star gates, and it will take a long time to defeat them one by one.
Therefore, the other side will definitely get the opportunity to open the Stargate, call for reinforcements, and bring more Stargates.
Therefore, we need more warships to cope with future counterattacks.
This will be a protracted war that will test communication capabilities, logistics capabilities, and sustained combat capabilities.
However, the victory or defeat of Totlan does not matter to our side. If we do not want to fight, we can withdraw. Therefore, our side is in an invincible position and does not need to have any psychological burden.
…
Shan Dai read it three times before she understood what Yamazaki meant, which was to fight if he could survive, and run if he couldn't. She had the final say whether to fight or run.
Shan Dai couldn't help pouting, and said simply, the opponent now has 10 star gates, scattered over a 3,000 light-year range, and it will take 3 days to catch up now, provided that the opponent stops.
We can only build a huge messenger network to coordinate the army to pursue together, but this also has its limit.
A propagation node of 200 warships controls the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 100 light years around it.
20,000 warships create 100 nodes, covering an area 10,000 light-years long, 100 light-years wide, and 100 light-years high.
It takes 200 million warships to cover 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 cubic light-years. It seems that the coverage is very wide, but in fact, it only takes 10 days to cover it.
If you want to be more efficient, you can only rely on the Stargate, and the premise is that Shandai's intuition can determine how many battleships are there and whether to escape or prepare to counterattack.
Otherwise, you can only use stupid methods, and the possibility of successfully catching a big fish is very slim.
…
Shandai sent Kate back to build warships, dispersed the others, and formed a group of 100,000 warships into a 2,000 brigade. While laying a messenger network, they pursued the enemy warships.
We will contact you every 12 hours. If you are not contacted, you can only log out but not enter.
This pursuit lasted for three days, and the other party had no intention of stopping and kept sinking.
The number of fleets was completely dispersed. The largest group only had 200,000 warships, and this fleet was just a satellite battlefield.
Viewed as a whole, it is a cone - with Cake Star as the apex and Star Fleet as the base, with the ridgeline being more than 3,000 light-years long.
Shandai had a headache, and she didn't know when she would end if she continued to chase like this. And if she didn't chase, she would never be able to reach the opponent.
The two sides are obviously only less than 1,000 light-years apart, but as long as the other side doesn't stop, it will remain so forever.
The most annoying thing is that every 12 hours, thousands of coordinates must be marked to determine the opponent's location, determine whether anyone can carry out a sneak attack within 12 hours, and then send the message to others.
Shandai decided to pursue him for ten days. If the other party was still escaping after ten days, he would leave it alone. Just like Yamazaki said, the worst he could do was give up the Totlan Star Territory.
…
Shandai attached the specific coordinates of the stargates sent by Kate, and then passed them on to others, asking them to ask Miss Joan of Arc to build them themselves.
People can't afford continuous teleportation, but items can, but it depends on the weight.
…
With the construction of the stargates at the three-day position completed, the patrol team's messenger network moved forward, with each stargate as the center.
Then there are the six-day position, the ninth-day position, and the tenth-day position.
Shandai couldn't hold on any longer and ordered to stop the pursuit and assemble.
…
On the other side, the Warring States Marshal suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction and ran for fifteen days before changing his formation and gathering.
However, the Stargate engineering team continues, and their ten teams can begin to explore the stars and build the Stargate.
…
After gathering, maintain the defensive formation, with one hundred thousand warships as the base to form a sphere array, and six sphere arrays as a group, up, down, left, front and back, supporting each other.
Use six groups as a small group, and six small groups as a large group, and continue to expand in this way, protecting the Satellite Fortress, Comet Fortress, and Meteor Battle City in the middle of the formation, but leaving space for artillery positions.
The entire fleet moved collectively, waiting for a possible attack.
But waiting is the hardest part. More and more people are dissatisfied and express that they don't want to go through such trouble even if they die in battle.
After the Warring States Marshal's good words were in vain, he let Akainu take action. As soon as he took action, he burned the people to ashes and immediately calmed the situation.
…
After three days of fighting, the Warring States Marshal confirmed that the opponent had given up, otherwise they would have attacked them long ago.
However, this news did not boost morale much. If we could not defeat them, we would have killed them long ago.
…
Seven days later, an engineering team came back and led the team to the Stargate. This restored the morale of the military.
The Warring States Marshal also exhaled and felt relieved.
No matter having the ability to foresee and predict, he still successfully evacuated.
The real war is more about the character of mind.
…
Returning to Starfleet Headquarters, the Combined Fleet was disbanded, but non-Starfleet personnel were not allowed to leave for the time being.
Marshal of the Warring States Period, General Kizaru Porusalino, General Akainu Sakaski, and General Zefa Black Arm went to Marshal Sora to report the battle situation.
office.
Marshal Kong also had a headache when he heard that there were people in the bat camp with real precognition abilities.
Black-armed Zefa said: "My lord, now that the bat is still in Totland, we should send troops there to consume his combat power."
Marshal Kong thought: "He will retreat, but let's go and give it a try. Send a colonel there and you can make arrangements."
"Yes, sir." Black-armed Zefa accepted the order and planned to retreat.
Akainu Sakaski stopped and said: "Wait a minute, Colonel can't block the attack of the light speed stone, no matter how many battleships there are, it will be a waste."
Kizaru Porusalino said: "It's better for me to go, I'm fine."
"No, I agree with the truce." Marshal Warring States said, "I want to slow down for a while and master all the star fields that I can control, and then concentrate on dealing with the bats."
Black-armed Zefa said: "Sir, as long as there are enough battleships, we will be able to drive the bats out of Totland."
"It's impossible. When the time comes, Bat will chase us, but we don't know his position and will be defeated at any time." Marshal Warring States said, "The more warships sent, the more nutrients we will give to the opponent.
.”
Black Wrist Zefa was unwilling to give in, "But, if it were us..."
"We don't have the time to waste it." Kizaru Porusalino patted Zefa on the shoulder.
Akainu Sakaski asked for orders with murderous intent, "Okay, let me destroy all the planets in Totland. In this way, even if the bat gets it, it will only be a dead zone and will not increase its strength."
Marshal Kong thought for a while, "Yes, it's possible, but you can't just do it."
"I will blame the bats. Whether the world believes it or not, the fact is that bats have occupied Totland."
Marshal Warring States sighed, "To be on the safe side, let's go together."
