1198 The war clouds are approaching
Battleship missing?
There was a sudden silence in the bridge, and the air suddenly froze.
"What about the specific news? Are there any details? Ye Fei asked eagerly.
"No, the news only says that a battleship is missing...... Wait, the news also said that there is also a warning satellite that was arranged not long ago that has lost contact! Xia Zhuoyan raised his head in shock, his two round eyes were full of panic, "The location of the battleship and the satellite is only a little bit of a day!" ”
The universe is so big, and dangerous airspace is everywhere, the loss of contact with the battleship does not mean anything, and the loss of contact with the satellite does not mean anything, but the loss of contact between the two at the same time cannot help but make people think about it.
Ye Fei suddenly realized something: "Is it lost contact at the same time?" ”
"It's not." Xia Zhuoyan hurriedly replied, "The battleship has been missing for twenty-six hours, and the satellite has just been lost. Headquarters ordered us to return to the ship immediately and prepare to support the Blue Light Star. ”
Ye Fei immediately ordered: "Yi Qi, return immediately, full speed!" ”
"Yes!" Yi Qi readily agreed.
The faster-than-light engine was activated, and the battleship immediately entered a faster-than-light state.
"Chief, does the headquarters mean that the lost battleship has been attacked by the enemy?" Ji Xiaotong raised his eyebrows like a knife and muttered to himself, "It doesn't make sense!" ”
If an enemy is only thirty light-years away from the Blue Light Star, their only target can and must be the Blue Light Star. Finding a lone human warship at such a distance, in line with the established strategy, is to let go of the human warship and directly attack the blue light star to avoid startling the snake.
Unless it is a lost battleship that collides head-on with a large force of the enemy. Otherwise, the possibility of the enemy taking the initiative to attack a lone battleship is extremely low.
Ruan Peng glanced at Ji Xiaotong with a puzzled brow and said, "Boss, those forces that have the ability to attack us are those few, is it that one of them discovered the blue light star?" ”
As far as the known cosmic civilization is concerned, the most common way to colonize is to build a first-class habitable planet with the best natural environment as a colonization fulcrum, relying on such a prosperous planet, gradually spreading to the periphery, transforming the nearby second-class habitable stars, and slowly incorporating them into the colonization system to form a continuous colonization star network.
The Asians, the Shang and the Crab all did this. Only the Saucer Clan has adopted destructive mining methods. Only build fleets, not colonies.
Although the situation of the Zhen clan is still unclear, it is estimated that they will not be able to escape this circle.
Only the Republic does not adopt the method of focusing occupation, and only occupies the galaxy with rich heavy elements.
Originally, this was only because of the insufficient population base, and it had to be done. However, it was this accident. Makes the colonies of the Republic extremely far apart. No two colonies are within four hundred light-years of each other.
No matter which Yaren, Shang or Zhen tribe is placed at such a distance, it will exceed the radius of its sphere of influence, even if the blue light star is more than four hundred light-years away from the solar system. It is not easy to find a blue star without knowing the exact coordinates.
As for the base star, there is no need to worry at all, if you don't go through the portal, even few of your own people can fly faster than light to find the ground.
"It's hard to say!" Ye Fei stared and pondered, "The location of the Blue Light Star has never been exposed, this is an important factor for the Yaren, the Shang Clan and the Zhen Clan to give up the war, if the Blue Light Star is really exposed, any of the three races have a motive to attack the Blue Light Star, what I can't understand now is why the alarm was not raised in time before the battleship went missing." ”
As long as the battleship sounded the battle alarm, the base star communication center would immediately receive the relevant report, but the message sent by the headquarters did not mention this at all, so the only explanation was that the enemy's strike was very sudden, and it was so sudden that the lost battleship did not even have time to sound the battle alarm.
"Could it be the Shang clan?" Ji Xiaotong guessed in surprise.
His speculation was not groundless.
The weapons of the subhumans are mainly dismantling beam cannons, although this weapon is strong, but it does not have the ability to penetrate the armor of the capital ship with one shot; Although the Zhen's light screen cannon has this ability, the light screen must be unfolded before the light screen ship can be fired, and although the time difference between the light screen deployment and the start of shooting is extremely small, it is enough for the battleship to sound the alarm.
After thinking about it, only the Shang clan's faster-than-light cannon was capable of destroying the capital ship, and when firing without warning, it could achieve the effect required for a surprise attack.
"I don't think so." Yi Qi frowned slightly, "The Shang clan has the same teleportation technology as we do, so they won't be so stupid that they don't even understand frog jumping tactics, right?" ”
"Of course the Shang people understand." Ji Xiaotong said, "We used frog jumping so many times during the April War, even a pig should learn it." ”
"That's not a merchant either?" Yi Qi glanced at Ji Xiaotong expressionlessly, "The Yaren, the Shang clan and the Zhen clan have all been ruled out, and that is the Dish clan." ”
One sentence choked the rest of Ji Xiaotong's words in his throat, which made him feel a big blow.
"Until the identity of the enemy is established, all races are suspicious." Ye Fei said, "Among all the known interstellar civilizations, the least likely is the Disc Clan, but it is not nothing. In addition, our intelligence work on the Shang and Zhen tribes has not been carried out effectively, and our understanding of these two races is still very limited, and it is difficult to say whether the Zhen people have weapons similar to the speed of light cannons, and ...... Maybe the Shang clan and the Zhen clan are in the same stream! Both of you, remember that it is not advisable to speculate on the actions of an interstellar civilization based on fragmented intelligence. ”
"Yes!" Yi Qi immediately humbly accepted the lesson.
Ji Xiaotong thought for a while and said, "Boss, I know you're right, but I still have a question. ”
"Say it." Ye Fei gave him an encouraging look.
Although there is a resolute obedience to orders in the regulations, he wants to compare it to a soldier who only knows how to rigidly execute orders, and he likes children with ideas from a commando.
Although the guy who thinks out of the box is naughty and mischievous, he often has amazing behavior, but he is very task-oriented, and at critical moments, divergent thinking often plays extraordinarily and has unexpected and surprising effects.
Ji Xiaotong, who was encouraged, asked: "The April War was not fought for a short time, and the Zhen clan did not participate in the war for a day or two. ”
"I can't answer that question." Ye Fei said honestly, "But I think that those who can develop into an interstellar race are not cowards, after so many years of technological progress, there are always some weapons that have been eliminated by new technologies, just like we are now relying more and more on magnetic missiles, and lasers are used less and less, maybe one day, lasers will disappear on our warships."
