Chapter 1277: Ambush
Lambda 252 Scutum.
The twenty-fifth day of getting the four-dimensional space crystal.
The human fleet has arrived at λ252 Scuti, and as long as it passes through the hyperspace node in front, it can enter the star system of λ253 Scuti.
In the star system λ253 Scutum, there is the hyperspace node leading to the spiral arm of Sagittarius.
As long as it passes through this hyperspace node and enters the Sagittarius spiral arm, then it is safe.
The human fleet did not pass through the λ252-λ253 scutum wormhole in the first place, but first released the reconnaissance plane and proton observers to pass through the wormhole to conduct reconnaissance on the situation on the other side of the wormhole.
"The reconnaissance plane passed through the wormhole and arrived at λ253 Scuti. The quantum entanglement signal is being connected... The connection is complete. Now confirm the environment of λ253 Scuti..." The reconnaissance team reported the reconnaissance results in real time.
"No enemy ships were found within 10 light seconds, no ambushes were found...passable."
"Wait a minute, it seems to be going too smoothly." Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this operation was much smoother than expected.
When raiding the four-dimensional space crystal transport fleet, it was a sudden attack. At that time, our side was in the dark, so it is not surprising that we won successfully.
However, after capturing the four-dimensional space crystal, the evacuation all the way was so smooth, which is a bit strange.
As long as you pass through the wormhole of λ252-λ253 Scuti in front of you and reach the star system of λ253 Scuti, you can see the wormhole leading to the spiral arm of Sagittarius.
This is already the last step in a successful evacuation.
However, in this process, everything is so smooth.
Occasionally encountering one or two reconnaissance ships of the Palesi Galaxy Far Star Empire, they can be easily thrown off or pushed back.
This situation has gone too well.
"The main battlefield fleet of the home star of the Palesean civilization should not only have this level." Fang Yuan's expression became serious.
Kaztic is the Templar General sent by the home planet of the Palesean civilization, even on the main battlefield, he is a very powerful existence.
To some extent, his coming to the Milky Way should be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow.
However, the entire process of the human fleet's evacuation of the Scutum was unbelievably smooth, and the entire process was hardly hindered.
"really,
With Kaztic's reputation and status, it shouldn't be at this level. Moreover, when he was carrying out the star map advancing tactics, the feeling of suffocation crushed the carbon-based alliance without any resistance, and it was impossible to be at this level. "Han Youwei nodded in agreement.
After serious consideration, Fang Yuan turned his head to look at Ye Zheyu, and asked, "Can quantum communication be used to transfer the high-dimensional vision eye?"
Ye Zheyu nodded and said, "It should still work, but I'm not sure how long it will last."
"Just try your best, use it. You must confirm that λ253 Scutum is absolutely safe before you can go there." Fang Yuan said.
"OK."
Ye Zheyu condensed a high-dimensional visual eye with star power, and put it into a reconnaissance plane.
The reconnaissance plane passed through the wormhole and flew to the depths of λ253 Scutum.
Ye Zheyu put on a quantum communication helmet, and through quantum communication, kept connected with the high-dimensional visual eye on the reconnaissance plane, and observed λ253 Scutum.
"No abnormality in 10 light seconds...No abnormality in 20 light seconds...No abnormality in 30 light seconds..."
While observing, he reported the results of his observations.
There is no abnormality in 30 light seconds, which is already a very wide distance.
Under normal circumstances, the best distance to ambush a fleet passing through a wormhole is within 10 light seconds.
If the ambush distance is extended to 30 light seconds for the sake of the ambush's concealment, it is already the limit.
If it exceeds 30 light seconds, only a battleship-level main gun can pose a threat to a battleship.
However, at a distance of 30 light seconds, the gamma light cannon needs at least 30 seconds to hit the target.
In actual combat, the shelling effect at this distance is very limited.
Ye Zheyu has confirmed that there is no abnormality at a distance of 30 light seconds, and the reconnaissance results can basically be confirmed.
His ultra-distance and high-dimensional visual reconnaissance has also reached its limit. When he was about to end the reconnaissance, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised the last star power to push the reconnaissance distance beyond 35 light seconds.
"Something is wrong. There is a shadow of a battleship. In the asteroid belt 35 light seconds away, I can see the shadow of the shape of a battleship." Ye Zheyu shouted excitedly.
The high-level human fleet was shocked when they heard this.
"Can you confirm?" Fang Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"It's the limit..." Ye Zheyu took off his helmet, and replied in a serious tone, obviously blaming himself.
Fang Yuan stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, said: "This is not bad. Send a scouting plane to confirm."
The reconnaissance plane equipped with quantum communication equipment can transmit the reconnaissance results back to the Shenzhou in real time, but the flight speed is relatively worrying.
The distance of 35 light seconds takes at least ten hours.
However, since Ye Zheyu has already seen the shadow of a battleship 35 light seconds away, it is very likely that there is indeed an ambush there.
Moreover, this is in line with the strength of the main fleet of the Palesian civilization.
"It will take at least ten hours for the reconnaissance plane to confirm. Are we just waiting for the result here?" A captain asked a question.
At this time, every second counts for the fleet.
For ten hours, staying in λ252 Scutum and waiting, unpredictable changes are likely to occur.
The human fleet is now evacuating the Scutum spiral arm, and ten hours is too long for the current human fleet.
Fang Yuan's expression became serious.
Now this decision must be made by him.
No one expresses an opinion at this time, they are all waiting for his decision.
After thinking carefully, Fang Yuan said: "Lang Xiaonian is looking for the route for the next day, I think there is an ambush at λ253 Scutum, so just turn around."
"But if you don't confirm first, just turn around, will it..." A military scientific research class expressed doubts.
Now Ye Zheyu only saw the shadow of a possible battleship, so he couldn't be sure if there was really an ambush.
"The shadow of the battleship that Lao Ye sees may be just an asteroid shaped like a battleship, or it may be a sunken ship. Would it be too rash to turn around now?" Another person also felt that such a decision was hasty.
After thinking selfishly, Fang Zi said: "We sailed all the way, and the process was too smooth. The commander of the main fleet of the Palesian civilization should not only have this level.
"So, if Kaz'tik is a strong opponent, then there should be an ambush in λ253 Scuti.
"In case the guess is wrong, and λ253 Scutum is not in ambush, it means that Kaztic, the commander of the main fleet of Palese, is not worthy of his name.
"If that's the case, then the battle is much easier.
"But this kind of thing, just think about it.
"If you think about it in a normal way, there will definitely be an ambush in λ253 Scuti, and I bet he is not that simple.
"Turn around and change the road. The star field around λ253 Scutum should not be under the control of the Paleser Galaxy Far Star Empire, and we have room for maneuver."
