"Is this a battleship from an alien civilization? It is almost twice the size of the Tiankun, and its speed is far faster than our heavy cruiser."

Friday, June 21, 2046.

Summer solstice.

Shenzhou.

In the core command and control cabin, in addition to Xu Lei and Xingtong, there were eight people gathered here. Their eyes were fixed on the extraterrestrial civilization battleship last captured by the deep space probe on the screen in front of them, and they felt this in their words. I was surprised but also worried about the outcome of this battle.

So that the whole atmosphere seemed very suffocating.

Except for the transport ship Kunpeng, which stayed behind on Mars and did not participate in the battle, the other nine warships of the alliance are all here.

And they are also the captains of these battleships.

Looking around, you can see many familiar faces.

For example, he was responsible for the thunder warfare of the Azure.

Zhang Jingtong, who has just taken up the post of Taiyin.

Speaking of Zhang Jingtong, there is another interesting thing here.

When Binjiang City conducted its first large-scale consciousness upload, he was among the mechanical life forms that woke up.

Maybe he was so worried about his granddaughter's safety that he lost control of his body, disrupting the normal process of spraying nano-skin-like materials on others.

In the end, Xu Lei took action to subdue him.

After checking Zhang Jingtong's past information, Xu Lei found that he was also from the military and had participated in many battles overseas. To a certain extent, he was similar to Lei Zhan, the king of soldiers.

So he was naturally absorbed into becoming a core member of the Alliance Space Force.

After performing well in subsequent training tests, he was appointed as the acting captain of the Taiyin hammer cruiser.

Although it is an agent.

But in essence there is no difference between it and the formal one.

As long as there are no major mistakes later, causing losses to the alliance.

As for Zhang Jingtong's granddaughter Xiaowen, she currently lives in the Lunar Taiyin City, and she can be regarded as having benefited from her grandfather.

The captains of the remaining battleships came from a variety of backgrounds, mostly from inland and overseas.

But they all have a common identity.

That is the mechanical life form.

Xu Lei listened to the words of Captain Balk of the Ark, but his expression remained calm, and he did not lose himself because of this.

When facing a powerful and mysterious alien enemy, it is normal to have fear of the unknown. Although Balk is the captain of the Ark, he has never participated in a real interstellar war like everyone else, so it is inevitable that he will feel a little panicked.

But that doesn't mean there isn't good news.

At least there is only one enemy warship.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei's previous judgment was correct.

The enemy uses Pluto to think that it has eliminated all life on Earth. In this case, it will inevitably be careless, thinking that it only needs to take over the galaxy easily.

In this way, too much force will not be dispatched.

After all, the cost of sailing between two galaxies must be included in the calculation.

If we really send a whole powerful fleet here just to take over a planet without civilization, wouldn't it be like using anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes?

Is it too wasteful?

Now the enemy only sends one warship to the solar system, even if it has a strong combat effectiveness, it is definitely a good thing for mankind.

As the saying goes, too many ants can kill an elephant.

With the strength of a small alliance fleet, there may not be anything they can do against this battleship.

But before Xu Lei could speak to mobilize everyone's fighting spirit, Zhang Jingtong took the lead and said: "The alien only has one battleship. After entering the solar system, the battleship will inevitably slow down and lose its advantage in speed. Our battleship is inferior in performance." If we get closer to them and close the gap, if we attack them as a group, we have a great chance of winning."

They say ginger is still spicier when old.

For these elderly people who have lived for decades, as long as the body is reborn, they can be calm without losing energy, which is completely incomparable to young people.

Xu Lei was also very pleased to see that Zhang Jingtong had this kind of insight.

Zhang Jingtong said it right.

An alien warship equipped with an anti-matter engine can even approach one percent of the speed of light at full speed.

It is incomparable to the heavy hammer cruiser.

Even the main weapon heavy rail gun and the secondary weapon space torpedo launcher alone may not be able to hit the opponent.

This kind of gap is simply a defeat in combat.

Being beaten by extraterrestrial civilization.

Fortunately, this battlefield is not in the vast expanse of space. Entering the solar system, a star system surrounded by eight planets, extraterrestrial civilizations must slow down and fly if they want to land on the Earth-Star warship.

When the speed of the two warships is at the same level, it is difficult to control who will win.

As the saying goes, three cobblers can rival Zhuge Liang. Xu Lei did not believe that the power of eight heavy cruisers could not destroy this battleship.

But it is worth mentioning that he did not immediately respond to Zhang Jingtong's words, but instead let them discuss it on their own first.

Anyway, the truth becomes clearer with more debate.

Subsequent battles with extraterrestrial civilizations will also require the unity and cooperation of all warships.

If there is any problem, it is much better to clarify it now than if some moth appears during the battle. You must know that this is a battle that humans cannot afford to fail.

really.

As Zhang Jingtong finished speaking, others started chatting one after another.

"Captain Zhang is right. In this war, at least we have an absolute advantage in numbers." Lei Zhan deeply agreed with Zhang Jingtong's remarks and added this first.

"These aliens look down on us humans, which will be the biggest mistake they make."

"They'll be in for a surprise soon."

But Balk was not unhappy because of Zhang Jingtong's words. Instead, he suddenly thought of something and quickly put forward a new suggestion: "In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the battle line to the orbit of Mars. This way we can also use the planetary defense system of Mars." Cooperate with us to attack warships of extraterrestrial civilizations."

"This method won't work." Xu Lei shook his head and rejected it without thinking.

Seeing no one answered, he slowly opened his mouth to explain.

"There is a Mars city on Mars. If it is attacked, it will have serious consequences. We must not let the war burn there."

In a sense, human civilization now has a surviving population of only one billion people. In order to ensure the stability and subsequent development of civilization, there must be no problems.

If the battle line is withdrawn to Mars, then regardless of whether the battleships of extraterrestrial civilizations can be destroyed in the end, I am afraid that the Mars city will be affected.

This situation is definitely not what Xu Lei wants to see.

Balke soon realized the problem with his suggestion, and even admitted his mistake: "It was my lack of consideration."

The situation has developed to this point, and the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations are constantly approaching the earth star.

Xu Lei shouldn't waste too much time.

Since no one else has a better plan to discuss, combat orders must be deployed as soon as possible.

So that everyone will not bump into each other like headless flies.

When his thoughts came to this point, Xu Lei immediately made a decision: "Each battleship will replenish all the missing materials and go to the designated coordinates to stand by to prepare for the encirclement of extraterrestrial civilization battleships. As for the transport ship Tiankun, it will temporarily retreat to the orbit of Mars, with a maximum of two or three Within months we will be in contact with the enemy."

Transport ships do not have combat capabilities due to their own characteristics.

Coupled with the size and length of one thousand meters, it is equivalent to a living target among the small heavy cruisers.

It will definitely be attacked first by extraterrestrial civilizations.

Originally, the purpose of the Tiankun was to replenish various supplies and ammunition for other warships. After completing this mission, there was no need to stay on the battlefield.

Of course, no one else had any objections to Xu Lei's arrangement.

After this brief pre-war meeting ended, all the captains returned to their warships and immediately went to the designated location coordinates, waiting for the extraterrestrial civilization warships to enter the area and start the encirclement.

The time Xu Lei mentioned was not casual.

In the past, we could only rely on Xingpu to calculate the enemy's arrival time based on known information.

For example, the impact time of Pluto was very precise.

But these days are no longer the past. Relying on his overclocking status, he can even get the specific time faster than Xingtong.

When only Xu Lei and Xingtong were left in the core command room of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei ordered again: "Send a few attackers out to see if they can encounter warships from extraterrestrial civilizations, and test them in advance. Strength."

The so-called attacker is modified from the prototype of the deep space probe.

The biggest difference is that the attacker is loaded with a hydrogen bomb, which can carry out suicide attacks on the target.

This special product was originally specially developed to increase the combat power of the Hammer Cruiser. Now it has become a standard feature of the warship.

But due to speed issues.

Its practicality is far from comparable to that of heavy rail guns.

Xu Lei chose to send them out at this time, naturally not to launch an attack on extraterrestrial civilization.

Just wanted to try my luck.

If you happen to encounter extraterrestrial civilization warships during their flight, things will become more interesting. Maybe you can be mentally prepared for their combat effectiveness in advance, so that the battle will undoubtedly be more secure.

Xingtong must have understood Xu Lei's plan, so there was no hesitation.

"Okay boss."

He nodded and responded with a warm voice and immediately started executing.

…

As the Alliance Space Force enters a state of combat readiness, it is waiting for the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations and a decisive battle with them.

At this moment, the people on the moon and Mars are also very worried.

Emotionally anxious.

In addition to the continuous support on the Azure website, many activities have also been organized in the city to pray for the Alliance fleet together.

Hope they can make a triumphant return.

Completely smash the conspiracy of extraterrestrial civilization to invade the solar system.

Everyone knows clearly that this battle will be related to the survival of human civilization.

If the extraterrestrial stars cannot be stopped, the newly stabilized life will be destroyed again. No one wants this to happen.

Unfortunately, due to its own individual weakness, it can only place its hopes on the fleet.

On the other hand, the members of the Space Force on Earth are very motivated. Although they really want to fight extraterrestrial civilizations, they have no chance. They can only envy those who board the battleships.

——

When in space, the sense of time is diminished.

Especially for long-lived civilized beings like pioneers, they don't care about the passage of time.

After their warship broke out of the Kuiper Belt and casually destroyed a deep space probe, it kept flying past Neptune and Uranus and was heading towards Saturn. It was about to reach the life planet in this star system.

But as a member of the royal family of the pioneer empire, Bishop Misti was in a slightly unhappy mood compared to when he first woke up.

"Uzi."

"Didn't you say that the civilization in this galaxy has been destroyed?"

"But that's not what I saw."

"There are still functioning detectors in this galaxy. Shouldn't you explain it?"

"Ambassadorial Herald Uzi."

At this moment, Misti was sitting on the throne, looking at Uzi who was standing below, and said these words in an unsatisfied tone.

In the pioneer empire with a strict class system, the biggest mistake was to deceive one's superiors.

This is unforgivable guilt.

Uzi swore that the civilization of the solar system no longer existed, but as soon as the battleship entered the solar system, it encountered the prying eyes of the detector, which shows that there is still life in the galaxy.

Thinking that as a member of the royal family, he was so deceived by his subordinates, it was strange that Misty was in a good mood.

at the same time.

Although Uzi was still standing in the audience, his body was actually trembling slightly, and his four arms seemed very redundant.

It doesn't fit anywhere.

The spindle-shaped crowns on the heads of royal family members will form a strong restraint on ordinary pioneers, especially at this time, he will bear greater mental pressure.

If this matter cannot be explained clearly, the consequences will be serious.

It might even be possible to simply die in a foreign country.

In fact, he felt very depressed about this matter. He originally thought that he had made a great contribution by annihilating the civilization of this galaxy, but he did not expect that before he could get any benefits from his boss, his own life was about to be in danger.

When Main Uzi stole information from human civilization, human development in space was still limited to the level of the space station.

In this case, there is no ability to deal with the dual crisis of Pluto.

In the end, apart from the option of extinction, he really couldn't think of any other possibility.

What's more, so much time has passed since the incident on Pluto. Even if there were survivors in the space station, there would be no chance of survival without material supplies.

How to send detectors to the outer reaches of galaxies for observation.

Their long lifespan has not deprived them of their IQ, and they are even slightly smarter than humans.

As a large number of images quickly replayed and flashed in his mind, he soon seemed to have thought of something. He quickly raised his gaze and explained: "Sir Bishop, I know what's going on. The human civilization in this galaxy is based on the brain. With a high level of research, perhaps these are the brains executing predetermined programs at the moment."

Uzi clearly remembered that his plan to steal information was interrupted by the intelligence developed by this civilization.

Although all life on the planet is extinct, the intelligent brain can still use the energy in the space station to maintain its own program operation.

He was very satisfied with his explanation.

After hearing what Uzi said, Misty couldn't help but feel a little silent, as if he was judging the rationality of this matter.

But before he could make a decision, an ordinary pioneer suddenly broke in and immediately reported: "Your Excellency, we have discovered a UFO flying towards us."

"UFO."

Facing the report from his subordinates, Misty repeated something in a low voice, then glared at Uzi, then stood up and walked towards the core cabin of the battleship.

Uzi was even more confused about this.

I always feel that there is a big difference between this star system and the one in my memory.

But you can't blame him for this.

After he stopped stealing information about human civilization, he hid in the Kuiper Belt and transformed Pluto. During this period, he did not observe human civilization again.

In so many years, it is not very difficult to bring about major changes in human civilization with future technology.

In the final analysis, he was too cautious.

Afraid of falling into the solar system.

Mainly he is the only pioneer here. If he is discovered by humans, he will most likely be caught and sent to the laboratory.

By then life will be worse than death.

That's why he deliberately waited until Misty came over.

Although he didn't know what happened to this star system, for now, his crisis was still not resolved, so he didn't dare to hesitate at this moment and quickly followed up.

…

"It's this gadget again, destroy it!"

In the core cabin of the battleship, Misty saw the attacker displayed on the battleship's space radar, his gray-brown pupils filled with disdain.

Using this kind of thing to hit his battleship is like hitting an egg against a stone.

The ordinary pioneer next to the operation desk naturally did not hesitate after receiving this order, and immediately fired the secondary weapon rail gun decisively, accurately hitting the attacker.

The attacker's combat form as a deep space probe, in addition to carrying a hydrogen bomb, is very slow. It has no possibility of evading the attack of the railgun, so it can only watch itself being completely reduced to ashes in the explosion. The powder disappeared.

The explosive power of a hydrogen bomb is naturally not small on Earth, but it is not very noticeable in space.

In addition, the attacker was far away from the battleship, and the aftermath did not affect the battleship at all.

And Misti, who had enjoyed the entire episode, now somewhat believed the explanation Uzi had just given. It seemed that only the Intelligent Brain was left in this galaxy to execute security procedures.

After all, the weapons and equipment sent could not threaten his battleships at all. If the civilization in this galaxy still existed, it would not only be able to do this.

Thinking of this, Misty turned around and looked at Uzi, and then said in a voice without any emotion: "I hope what you said is correct. The rest will be discussed after we have completely captured this galaxy."

Suddenly I felt the pressure on my body suddenly lighten.

Uzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he did not forget to compliment again: "Don't worry, Lord Bishop, the civilization in this galaxy has long been extinct. Just relying on a brain program can't change anything."

This attacker was easily eliminated, and the speed of the battleship of the Pioneer Civilization was not affected in any way.

It didn't take long to officially pass by Saturn.

About to enter the battle area of ​​Mars.

…

Xu Lei asked Xingtong to send the attackers out, mainly to try his luck.

See if you can meet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, they were very lucky this time. One of the attackers successfully had a head-on encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization warship. Although it was ruthlessly destroyed, it finally determined the enemy's route.

This will bring great convenience to them.

Based on this clue, Xu Lei also readjusted the combat plan and put everyone on the highest alert.

Because the Alliance's warships are parked in the orbit of Jupiter, they can avoid the radar scanning of enemy warships to the greatest extent with the help of Jupiter's existence.

Avoid being discovered by enemies.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When the exciting system broadcast finally sounded in the core control cabin of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei immediately entered an overclocking state. He would command this battle and lead mankind to victory.

"The target has entered the attack range. The main weapon is locked. Do you want to fire?"

The closer the extraterrestrial civilization's warships are to Jupiter, the easier it will be to detect the alliance's fleet, and then the advantage between the enemy and ourselves will change.

A sudden attack at this time might achieve unexpected results.

At the same time, other warships will also cooperate with the attack.

Catch the enemy by surprise.

Xu Lei is quite confident about the power of the heavy rail gun. Even if the medium-sized warship has strong defense, as long as it successfully hits it, it can cause some damage to it.

So when you see the target entering the range, there is no reason not to launch.

But just when Xu Lei was about to issue the launch order, Xingtong next to him suddenly expressed a different opinion: "Boss, if the Shenzhou launches this attack, then we will also be directly exposed to the enemy's sight, and it is very likely that Met with a fierce counterattack.”

It can be said that Xingtong has never raised any objection to Xu Lei's instructions.

But this time, the self-awareness she was born with didn't agree with Xu Lei's approach.

Because it's too risky.

The Shenzhou is now safe because it has not been discovered by the enemy, but if this attack is launched, it will become the enemy's primary target.

With the Shenzhou's defense, it was impossible to withstand it.

After all, a single attack from the heavy rail gun cannot directly incapacitate a medium-sized battleship. At that time, the lives of Xu Lei and all the crew members on the battleship will be in danger.

As a special being, Xingtong may be able to break away from consciousness and change his body again, but others cannot.

When the consciousness is uploaded into the amorphous alloy mechanical body, the two are equivalent to completing the binding. If the body is forcibly changed for a second time, the consciousness will gradually dissipate.

certainly.

Xu Lei was very clear about Xingtong's worries.

But someone has to do it.

Besides, since he dared to make this decision, he must have a way to deal with it.

"Don't worry, I know this well and will follow the instructions." Xu Lei did not adopt Xingtong's suggestion and still insisted on his decision.

You must know that although Xingtong was born with self-awareness, he would occasionally put forward different opinions based on his own judgment and understanding, but he could not forcibly disobey Xu Lei's instructions, so after hearing this sentence, although he was still a little worried, he had to follow the instructions to start the heavy orbit The cannon launches an attack on the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Seeing that the distance to the Earth Star was getting closer and closer, and the journey was getting smoother, Misty couldn't help but feel better.

But before this mood lasted too long, it was interrupted by a system warning sound that sounded in the core control cabin of the battleship. This was exactly what happened when it was attacked.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"The warship encountered an unknown attack."

"The close-in defense gun has automatically started interception..."
