Chapter 1615 I was wrong (second update)
The alliance military finally managed to damage an enemy ship, so it was naturally impossible for them to sit back and watch the other party rescue them.
Moreover, they also discovered that the opponent's fleet was making moves to leave the battlefield.
No matter how our own side pursues them in the future, if we keep one more battleship from the other side, we will be able to take more initiative.
At this moment, Qing Hu has already given instructions to the artificial intelligence, "Rescue first, dodge second, attack third!"
This means putting your own safety outside of rescue.
Thanks to Qinghu, a crispy Yuanying came to the rescue, and at least he had to add defensive talismans to his body.
Fortunately, the alliance's warships were also in a mess due to the impact of the battle just now, and in the haste, the impact of the attack was limited.
Qinghu's small ship dodged left and right. Seeing that it was about to reach the injured starship, the mechanical arms on the attack ship had already been stretched out.
However, at this moment, a laser cannon fired, hitting the small ship's flank.
This beam of laser was not particularly powerful and only caused minor damage to the small ship.
But this blow directly changed the direction of the attack ship.
The speed of the small ship is extremely fast. Once it deviates from the direction, it must make a large radius turn before the rescue can continue.
Upon seeing this, Qinghu rushed out of the small ship without hesitation, and then with a flash, he came to the side of the damaged friendly ship.
When the two crew members of the attack ship saw this, they were shocked and asked, "Is that so?"
Although they were already dressed and had plans to leave the cabin, when they saw a friendly ship approaching, they thought they were about to be captured.
After all, exiting the cabin requires related actions, and if a starship brings a starship, it is much simpler.
Fortunately, the two of them rushed out of the cabin instantly despite being surprised.
A figure flashed past, grabbing a mecha and an astronaut, and then there was another flash.
This time, the flash came directly to the small ship that Qinghu was originally riding on.
It is said that this small ship was also injured. Although the injury was not serious, it was not the best choice.
However, the other small ships of the empire have already retreated, and the closest one is this starship.
If he could not board this ship, Qinghu would have to flash frequently and climb to the company-class ship more than 100,000 kilometers away.
Such a distance would consume a lot of her spiritual energy, so she took the risk first.
The place where she showed up grabbing the man was still more than ten kilometers away from the small ship.
This is the case in Star Wars. The starships fly so fast. Even in the blink of an eye, small ships can fly so far.
But the distance at this moment is already quite close.
Immediately afterwards, Qinghu flashed two more times in a row, and finally rushed into the hatch without any danger.
Xiao Hu also trusted her enough. While he opened the hatch and waited, he was still making maneuvers based on his own judgment.
Unfortunately, the cooperation between the two... was still not perfect, and half of the mecha was directly stuck in the hatch.
Not to mention that the outer hatch was scrapped, the legs of the imperial soldiers in the mecha were also cut off, but that's a story for another day.
No matter what, it feels great to be able to escape - things like being injured really don't matter.
This imperial fleet infiltrated the Alliance and brought a lot of medical equipment with it, including equipment for regenerating severed limbs.
Qu Jianlei and the others brought more equipment themselves, so there is no need to go into details.
After receiving the three men, the small ship turned around and ran away frantically, its position becoming increasingly erratic.
This is the most lagging starship in the Empire, and most of the Alliance's firepower is frantically attacking it.
However, he was so lucky. The small ship flashed from left to right and escaped from the enemy ship's fire range alive.
During this process, Xiaohu controlled the small ship and even destroyed another alliance small ship.
This shows how powerful a small ship equipped with artificial intelligence is in combat effectiveness.
However, this attack ship failed to completely avoid being targeted by fire, and suffered two minor injuries in a row.
Fortunately, the small ship finally broke into the vacuum door of the battalion-class ship without any danger.
Almost at the same moment, there was a flash of fire behind them.
The Imperial attack ship, which had lost most of its power, turned into a ball of brilliant fireworks in space.
The attack ship piloted by Qing Hu is the last small ship to return from the Empire.
As soon as she stepped out of the cabin, she heard deafening cheers coming from the cabin.
The senior colonel had already arrived and was waiting for her. When he saw her, he raised his hand in a military salute, "Thank you for your help, sir!"
There were other soldiers in the lower cabin. When they saw this, they all saluted and shouted, thanking Qinghu for rescuing his teammates.
Qinghu waved his hand and spoke calmly and powerfully, "Hurry up and treat the wounded, take stock of the gains and losses of the battle...Is this all a matter of idleness?"
She is not interested in these false stories. As the supreme being, reaching out to save people, isn't that what she should do?
At the same time, the alliance's fleet was still chasing behind them.
The distance between the two sides is only seven to eight hundred thousand kilometers, not even one million kilometers.
At present, it seems that they are biting each other, but the shocking scene just now made all the alliance soldiers look solemn.
"This figure should be from the Supreme Being, right? Otherwise, how could he move so fast?"
"Digital Phantom... Tsk, even though they are enemies, their combat power is really not something they just brag about."
"What I'm more curious about now is... where did the starships with digital phantom markings go?"
"According to analysis, the enemy's fleet should have split up to attack, but if we continue to pursue them like this, we may encounter an ambush."
"Ambush...are we afraid?" Someone sneered, "They'd better ambush us."
Their fleet was already in disarray, but they dared to catch up now because they had a large force behind them.
The Alliance is relatively clear about the size of the Digital Phantom Fleet, and there is indeed nothing to fear.
Behind them, a fleet of two and a half regiments was about to catch up.
It's not that Tianyuxing can't recruit more troops, the key is that they are just one of the fishing teams.
The Alliance has dispatched a total of six similar fishing teams, which is quite a feat.
In addition to these six fleets, there are also three fleets responsible for supporting.
One of them is relatively close to here, but it basically takes about half a day to get there.
In other words, the fleets of the two and a half regiments at the rear only need to entangle each other for half a day, and more fleets will come.
It must be admitted that the troops infiltrated by the empire are extremely powerful, and the one led by Digital Phantom is particularly powerful.
But when it comes down to it, the lack of scale is a flaw, and the gap in quantity cannot be matched by quality alone.
In particular, the opponent also divided their forces, which highlighted their shortcomings.
As far as the battle just now is concerned, the opponent undoubtedly won, but the question is: why did they run?
He didn't even seize the chance to last a last hit, let alone clean up the battlefield.
For that reason, they could only win for a while, and when they found out about the larger army, they fled decisively - because they really couldn't defeat them!
Although the opponent only lost two small ships, the alliance military had already made a suggestion: it would be good to attack the opponent piecemeal.
After all, the infiltrated troops are limited. Facing a strong enemy, this is also the most appropriate way to fight.
The main reason why the Alliance fleet did not choose this tactic just now was because their mission was to fight.
If they choose the style of play suggested by the military, they may cause greater damage to the opponent, but at the same time, they will lose faster.
In other words, even if the reinforcements are far away, they will be completely wiped out.
The opponent does not have enough time to completely clean up the battlefield, but it is very likely that they will escape the pursuit of the reinforcements.
Therefore, the current results are more acceptable.
After the Alliance fleet pursued for a while, they actually started a new attempt. They rushed out of two small ships, accelerated and attacked the opponent.
Faced with this kind of provocation, the imperial fleet cannot remain indifferent.
At this time, escaping was the wrong choice, and counterattack was necessary, so another small ship rushed out to intercept.
However, it can be seen that the empire is also trying to reduce the losses of small ships. The fight in space is directly two versus two.
As for the result? Needless to say, the Alliance must have lost two small ships.
Fortunately, the other side didn't bother. In addition to blowing up one ship, the soldiers on the other small ship were rescued by the alliance military.
However, this result made it impossible for the alliance to continue sending small ships to attack.
Because they lost most of their small ships, they were unable to suppress the opponent's small ships in numbers.
Seeing that they did not move, the imperial fleet became more energetic and sent two more small ships to attack the pursuing fleet.
Seeing this, the alliance army could only send out all small ships to escort and defend its own warships.
Obviously, the imperial army did not want to put the soldiers in danger, and found that the attack was becoming more difficult, so they decisively evacuated.
The pursuing alliance forces did not dare to take back the small ships. They could only wait for the attack ships to fly with them for a while and then return in turn to replenish supplies.
There were no big mistakes in the response of both parties, and the distance between them has never widened.
On the imperial fleet, Qing Hu left the cabin and went straight back to his room.
Just when she was about to close the door, the senior colonel followed and spoke proactively, "Sir, please wait a moment."
"I would like to ask, can we also implant...that in battalion-level ships?"
"Huh?" Qing Hu was stunned when he heard this, "I remember you are the one who doesn't want to implant artificial intelligence, right?"
Hearing this, the senior colonel could only laugh dryly, "Now and then... I know I was wrong."
Previously, for the so-called honor of the military, he insisted not to implant artificial intelligence on battalion-level ships.
But this battle completely reminded him: there is a huge difference between implanting artificial intelligence and not implanting it!
If the fleet had not divided its forces, this feeling would not be obvious.
After most of the warships were implanted with artificial intelligence, the fleet also successfully destroyed the alliance's regiment-level fleet.
But after the troops were divided, everything changed.
??????55.??????
——————
Chapter 1616: Chase and Escape (Third update, please vote for me)
The empire's infiltrated fleet is still too small.
Therefore, after the troops are divided, the combat power of each starship is extremely precious.
A squadron like this one, apart from small ships, only has one battalion-level ship and two company-level ships.
The battle just now showed that the combat effectiveness of each company-level ship exceeded that of the battalion-level ship.
Not only are these two ships able to evade flexibly, but their attack results are also far superior to the battalion-class ships with stronger firepower.
This made the officers and soldiers on the battalion-level ship a little confused.
Our comrades are all working hard, but we gave up the opportunity to become stronger because of some ridiculous self-esteem?
What is particularly ridiculous is that under the intensive care of the alliance's attack ships, the battalion-class ship also suffered minor damage.
From the current point of view, it does not affect the battle, but the damage will be damaged after all.
The damage control soldier went to carefully inspect and confirmed the damage, but there was no need for repairs.
This fact spread, completely making the officers and soldiers on the battalion-level ship uncontrollable: If we had artificial intelligence, we might not be injured!
What has happened cannot be assumed, but the soldiers' discussions reached the ears of the colonel.
As mentioned earlier, this colonel is not a dictatorial person, and he is willing to respect the wishes of his military elites.
He asked around casually to make sure that everyone could accept the implantation of artificial intelligence, and then took the initiative to find Qing Hu.
"The battalion-level ship was damaged?" Qinghu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
But in the end, she still said that since you have changed your mind, I personally would like to support it.
But whether we can get permission specifically depends on our collective discussion.
The senior colonel is really a little depressed. We are all willing to let you control us. Why can't we just agree?
Qinghu said lightly that we are willing to help our comrades, but the premise is that our comrades can fully trust us!
No matter what your motives are for not implanting, what is certain is that once you miss many things, there will be setbacks again.
In short, it is still a running-in between the two. Digital Phantom was originally kind-hearted to help, but was unwilling to let the other party develop the habit of reaching out at any time.
The senior colonel could also sense her intentions, but at this time, what else could he say?
It cannot be said that there has been any opportunity before, and there will always be such an opportunity - the digital phantom is not so easy to talk to.
However, he was still a little curious, "Do all your decisions need to be discussed?"
The management and decision-making mechanism of Digital Phantom has always been a mystery to the outside world.
The senior colonel also heard about it. When Puter came into contact with this team, he learned that there was a boss in the team.
But whether this boss can suppress a group of supreme beings... is really doubtful.
A group of strong men standing at the pinnacle of mankind would willingly obey someone? At least he found it difficult to do so.
Qinghu’s answer was also very direct: You don’t need to ask so many questions. Anyway, it’s me you’re looking for, and I’m not qualified to make such a decision!
The colonel was silent, this answer was a bit hard for him to accept.
It was hard for him to imagine that this powerful being, who could come and go like lightning even when attacked by Alliance starships, would frankly admit that he was not qualified!
But he also heard that the other party's wording clearly meant he didn't want to say too much.
Just when he had the idea of resigning, Qinghu said directly, "I have to do something, no one can disturb me!"
After saying that, she closed the door directly.
The senior colonel was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, if we encounter extreme circumstances, can't we contact you?
But when he thought about the scene where the other party had just rescued his soldiers, he nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Qinghu set up the teleportation array again, and the next moment a white light flashed, and she completely disappeared.
About ten minutes later, she came back, but if I looked carefully, her eyes were a little less bright.
This is Qinghu's clone, and her true form has not yet been sent back.
Time passed little by little, and before you knew it, the two parties chasing and fleeing had been galloping all day and night.
The distance between the two sides is still about one million kilometers, and it seems that they can pursue it to the end of the universe.
However, the fleet supported by the rear alliance has shortened the distance from two million kilometers to 500,000 kilometers.
The secret to their hurried journey is that the battleships are grouped into several groups, and one of the battleships accelerates to the maximum speed.
Overloaded extreme acceleration will greatly damage the power durability of the battleship, and may even self-destruct if it continues.
But it doesn't matter. Every battleship accelerates to its maximum speed for six or seven minutes and then drops sharply.
As long as the persistence time does not reach ten minutes, which is the theoretical limit, the power system can still withstand it.
This battleship begins to cool down its power system, and other battleships will continue to increase to the ultimate speed.
After each battleship rotates around, the power system of the first battleship has basically cooled down.
This is a tactic commonly used by warships in space pursuits, but it is relatively rare for a fleet of armed merchant ships.
No matter how much attention is paid to system cooling, the wear and tear on the power system will still be considerable if such operations are used.
Only warships, such violent machines, are willing to operate like this if they have Guojia's financial backing.
By this time, the number of reinforcements had been observed by the imperial warships.
There are a total of three regiment-level ships in the reinforcements, but judging from other configurations, they are not three fully-equipped regiment-level fleets.
The number is indeed a bit too much, and the distance between these reinforcements and the three starships of the empire is only about 1.5 million kilometers.
The pursuers were still approaching little by little, and the colonel arranged for someone to report the situation every half hour.
Under such a situation, there is no point in concealing the truth from the officers and soldiers. It is better to be honest with them.
At this time, the three battleships were also connected together, and they also took turns to exert force.
However, the imperial warships took turns traveling at high speed, which did not reach the point of overload, but stuck to the upper limit of the theoretical value.
——Using the upper limit speed for a long time will also cause great wear and tear on the power system.
So in theory, the imperial warships' grouping just wants to extend the use time of the power system as much as possible.
Of course, overload limit escape is not an option, but operating in that way will cause too much damage to the warship.
They were performing a raiding mission behind enemy lines, so supplies were inherently difficult, and they were not in a position to overhaul the power system.
It's not difficult to replace some spare parts, and I brought some in the supplies, but even the Digital Phantom will be subject to certain overhaul conditions.
In order to continue to harass better in the future, this extreme escape-it is better not to choose it or not.
The officers and soldiers also understood this very well, but when they heard the pursuers getting closer and closer, they couldn't help but murmur privately.
"If it really doesn't work, it's better to accelerate to the limit, otherwise, we'll have to turn around and fight to the death."
"What are you talking about in layman's terms? The cooldown time of extreme acceleration is too long, and the three warships cannot rotate at all."
Some people even said bluntly, "Didn't we say there would be friendly forces to support us? Let's just wait and see."
Some people could not hold back their anger and said, "They say there are friendly forces to support us, but where exactly is this response place?"
"Then it certainly cannot be said clearly. What if your kid is captured by the enemy and becomes a soft egg?"
"I said you are looking for a beating. Do you believe that labor and management will pull your balls off right now?"
The Alliance warships pursuing behind them did not know that their opponents were still looking for support.
But to them, it is not surprising that the empire's warships do not have maximum acceleration.
Even as the Imperial soldiers themselves analyzed, the Alliance army also knew that the number of three starships was too small to effectively rotate.
The best option is to fly at the upper speed limit and rotate it from time to time.
Otherwise, before the Alliance fleet can catch up, these three enemy ships will be disabled by themselves!
The alliance military can understand each other's choice, but at the same time, they are also reminding each other.
"Maintain active detection at all times and be careful of enemy responses or ambush!"
They didn't believe how strong the other party could support them. After all, this was an alliance, not an empire.
But on the battlefield, it never hurts to be cautious.
In short, it is to do a good job of detection and be ready to deal with unexpected battles at any time.
In the blink of an eye, another half a day passed, and several small meteorites appeared in front of them.
None of the meteorites are large, ranging from a few hundred meters to one kilometer in diameter. One is a bit larger, with a diameter of no more than five kilometers.
Moreover, the meteorites are widely scattered, at least 100,000 kilometers apart.
The meteorite groups that many people refer to are not necessarily very close to each other, but they are not that far apart compared to the vastness of space.
The alliance's pursuit army pays close attention to similar stars. Under such circumstances in space, it is most suitable to lay an ambush.
However, with such small meteorites scattered so far apart, even if there was an ambush, it would only be a few small starships.
However, the fleet did not take it lightly, but increased its scanning efforts to avoid being ambushed.
Under the full scanning of the regiment-level ships, it is almost impossible for a starship to hide.
By this time, the reinforcements had almost caught up with our vanguard, and were only a little over a million kilometers away from the imperial warship.
The fleeing imperial warship also discovered the meteorite group ahead and rushed over, obviously in a panic and desperate to choose its route.
Then, they seemed to realize that this sparse group of small meteorites was not enough to provide cover.
So the imperial warship made a few serpentine moves, roughly used the meteorite, and continued to run wildly.
The alliance's pursuers deliberately avoided those meteorites - although no abnormalities were found, there was no need to provoke possible trouble, right?
But strictly speaking, what they were most wary of was the five-kilometer-diameter meteorite.
Except for this one, it is impossible to hide a decent starship behind any other meteorite, not even a small ship.
In the blink of an eye, the imperial starship passed through most of the meteorite swarm and continued to perform at the speed of life and death.
The pursuers continued to pursue each other, and the reinforcements were already infinitely close to their own fleet.
