The two battleships flew rapidly in the boundless universe, the power of the curvature engine reached its limit, and a dazzling beam of light left by the "photon transition" was pulled out behind them.
"Being bitten, they released the destroyer formation to catch up." When Ye Zheyu announced the danger warning, his tone was a bit serious.
"Photon Leap" is indeed powerful, but it also has some disadvantages.
That's where the "photon jump" goes, leaving a trail of light behind.
Although the band of light fades away after a few seconds and is invisible to the naked eye, it is still easy to detect with detection equipment.
Therefore, when the Third Pegasus Fleet catches up to the same star field, it can follow the traces of the "photon transition" all the way up.
Once you get bitten, you can't shake it off.
We can only keep using the "photon transition" to keep a safe distance.
If only Fang Yuan released "Photon Leap", he would have been caught up two days ago.
After Han Youwei obtained the "Photon Leap" and was promoted to a planetary rank, she shared a lot of pressure.
"How long before we get to the Perseus Arm?"
Fang Yuan looked at the destroyer formation of the Third Pegasus Fleet tightly behind him, and kept calm and composure.
"It will take three more days for us to reach Alpha Centauri 233. In Alpha Centauri 233 there is a super-large wormhole spanning the spiral arms, which can reach the spiral arms of Perseus." Lang Xiaonian replied looking at the star map.
Most of the star field of the Perseus spiral arm belongs to the carbon-based alliance.
Among them, Piggs of the photosynthetic civilization is the regional manager of the Perseus spiral arm.
After communication, Piggs was willing to accept the gift of the Pegasus Third Fleet.
However, the battle needs to take place inside the Perseus spiral arm.
Therefore, the Counterattack needs to guide the Third Pegasus Fleet into the Perseus spiral arm before it can carry out an ambush.
...
"How long will it take for this destroyer fleet to catch up?" Fang Yuan continued to ask.
"Once the 'Photon Leap' stops, they will be able to intercept us." Lang Xiaonian replied helplessly.
The speed of Retaliation is indeed not as fast as the latest main battleship of the Palesean civilization, and only under the acceleration of the "photon leap" can it barely open the distance.
However, "photon jumps" cannot be maintained for long, so it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.
At this time, Han Youwei was in charge of accelerating the "photon transition", but it was almost at its limit.
"You rest. I will do it instead." Fang Yuan got up and said.
Han Youwei shook her head: "I can hold on for a while."
In the current situation, a battle could break out at any time.
The more this time comes, the more precious the star power of the strongest super fighter becomes.
Once a fight is fought, the side with the least remaining star power of the strongest super fighter is likely to lose at this point in the end.
therefore.
In a space battle, before the battle begins, the space fleet will try its best to retain the star power and energy of the strongest combat power until the final decision.
"There are still three days, you can't last that long, I'll stand for you for a while. The destroyers biting behind, don't dare to chase too far, they will slow down." Fang Yuan is very sure of this.
In a space fleet.
The most powerful firepower and the thickest armor are battleships.
But also because the weapon system and armor occupy most of the space, the speed is relatively slow.
Therefore, in a fleet, the speed of the fleet is often equal to the speed of the battleship.
The fastest battleship in the fleet is the destroyer, which is often 50% faster than the battleship, or even doubled.
therefore.
The Third Pegasus Fleet will send a destroyer formation to chase the counterattack, because the battleships behind are slower and cannot keep up.
The reason why Fang Yuan determined that the destroyer formation of the Pegasus Third Fleet will slow down is because there are five destroyer formations.
The firepower is enough to tear the two ships of Counterattack, but if they dare to get too far away from the main force of the fleet behind, then Fang Yuan dares to sink them.
Therefore, the attack of the destroyer formation,
There is a distance limit, and it is impossible to get too far away from the main formation.
Han Youwei also understood this, and finally agreed to stop "Photon Leap" to rest.
Fang Yuan connected to "Photon Leap", and after sailing for three hours, as expected, the destroyer formation biting behind began to slow down, obviously reaching the limit of the pursuit range.
Seeing that the Pegasus destroyer formation slowed down, Fang Yuan also stopped "Photon Leap" to restore star power.
In this way, it took three days to catch up.
The two ships of Retaliation finally arrived at α233 Centaurus, passed through the cross-arm wormhole, and arrived at the star system of μ348 Perseus.
μ 348 Perseus is the location determined by Piggs.
As long as human beings lead the Third Pegasus Fleet here, the task will be completed.
"It's finally safe this time."
After arriving at the Perseus spiral arm, most of the fighters on the Repulse were relieved.
Once here, it's basically safe.
Before passing through the cross-arm wormhole, Fang Yuan asked people to put down the proton observer to observe the third Pegasus fleet that was chasing after him.
After waiting for nearly 12 hours, the Third Pegasus Fleet finally appeared in front of the cross-arm wormhole.
However, the fleet stopped in front of the wormhole and did not go through the wormhole immediately.
"They stopped, don't they dare to come over? Didn't they chase very fiercely before? They were almost chased by them." A student in the military scientific research class complained a little angrily.
In the past half a month, the team was chased and fled everywhere, and they were all suffocated.
"They may really dare not come here. The Perseus spiral arm belongs to the area controlled by the Carbon-based Alliance." Lang Xiaonian also looked a little unhappy.
After being chased and killed for so long, it seemed that these guys were about to be killed, but suddenly they stopped chasing, and they couldn't get out the breath they were holding.
"They will come over. The Carbon-based Alliance's control over the Milky Way star field is actually very weak. Moreover, Palesi has lost something that can change the situation of the battle. Palese's mother star cannot easily give up." Fang Yuan looked very firmly.
Half a month ago, Fang Yuan and Han Youwei used "Photon Leap" alternately, forcing a small broken ship to dance on the tip of a Palesi main fleet.
It can be seen how strong the effect of "photon transition" is.
Originally, the Palesean civilization had the "ghost fleet" of the Third Pegasus Fleet, thanks to Ulysses, the fleet commander.
Now that Ulysses has been killed, it is equivalent to the loss of the "Ghost Fleet" they are proud of.
At the same time, the "photon transition" triangular star core is also lost.
There should have been two "photon transitions", one in and one out, and one is gone.
This is a double blow to the Palesean civilization.
The Palesian civilization absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing, and will definitely order the Third Pegasus Fleet to recover the "Photon Leap" star core.
Therefore, Fang Yuan is sure that the Pegasus Third Fleet will definitely chase into the Perseus spiral arm.
After all, letting such a small broken ship like the Retaliation escape, with the pride of the Palesian civilization and protoss, is a humiliation that is harder to bear than death.
