Chapter 1429: The Disappearing Fleet

After accepting the order from his superior, Felwood Lester ordered the fleet to speed up and fly towards the hyperspace channel ahead.

at the same time.

On the Shenzhou, Ye Zheyu immediately reported the movement of the enemy fleet: "The target fleet is speeding up and heading towards the hyperspace node of Pisces μ556-μ560."

The Felwood ghost fleet suddenly accelerated. This situation was a bit sudden. Before that, there was no sign.

"Strange, why did they speed up suddenly? Just now, seeing their posture, didn't they want to distance themselves from Planet Nine and start filming with us?" Eve was straight-hearted, and said whatever came to her mind.

at the very beginning.

The Felwood Ghost Fleet is sailing at a medium speed, and the posture is clearly ready to find a quiet place to fight.

However, now it suddenly speeds up and the behavior is indeed a bit strange.

"Follow up first." Fang Yuan ordered.

The expedition fleet followed suit, chasing after the Felwood ghost fleet.

Three hours later.

The Felwood Ghost Fleet was the first to pass through the hyperspace node of μ556-μ560 Pisces.

After the expedition fleet arrives at the hyperspace node, it first sends out a reconnaissance plane to confirm the situation at the other end of the node, and then the fleet passes through the wormhole.

However, after passing through the hyperspace wormhole, the Felwood ghost fleet disappeared.

"The target has disappeared!" Ye Zheyu reported the situation in surprise, and at the same time used various reconnaissance methods to find the target again.

However, after ten minutes of hard work, the target was still not found.

"It's completely disappeared without a trace." Ye Zheyu's forehead was covered with sweat.

He has not encountered such a situation for a long time.

He is the leader of the reconnaissance team of the expeditionary fleet. With the combination of technology and supernatural powers, he has the strongest reconnaissance ability in human civilization.

In the previous battles, as long as it was a fixed target, no one could escape from his nose.

However, this time something went wrong.

"Don't be nervous, the opponent is the famous ghost fleet in the Palesian civilization, it is not surprising that it suddenly disappeared."

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Have you tested the curvature response?"

"It's been tested, but no curvature response was found." Ye Zheyu took a deep breath and replied.

"Since there is no curvature response, it means that they can't run too far, they should just hide." Fang Yuan made a judgment.

At the present stage, there is only one kind of superluminal flight of the five major civilizations in the galaxy group, which is curvature flight.

It is impossible for the Palesian civilization to have super-light technology that is more advanced than curvature flight. If it had, the civilization level of the Palesian civilization would have crushed the carbon-based alliance long ago.

Therefore, the FTL flight of the five civilizations in the local galaxy group will use the curvature engine.

Using the curvature engine will inevitably lead to changes in the curvature of the space.

It is impossible to hide the change of space curvature, and it will inevitably leave a track.

Since there is no curvature response, there is only one possibility, the target fleet is not flying with curvature.

Since no curvature is used to fly, it can only be ordinary powered flight.

Moreover, in order to maintain the stealth effect, the power of the power engine will also be reserved.

In this case, the speed of the target fleet will not exceed one percent of the speed of light.

For the interstellar voyage of advanced civilizations, this speed can be called a turtle crawl.

Therefore, Fang Yuan quickly made a judgment, and concluded that the Felwood ghost fleet could not run very far, and must have hidden its tracks.

"Is it possible to fly with micro-curvature?" A student in a military scientific research class asked this question.

This question is worth discussing.

Because there is a carrier-based ship called the Ghost on the Shenzhou, which uses the most advanced micro-curvature engine of the photosynthetic civilization.

The characteristic of the micro-curvature engine is to reduce the curvature flight speed to close to the speed of light, so as not to react too much to the curvature of the engine, so it is called micro-curvature.

The leader of the on-board curvature research group responsible for the maintenance of the curvature engine said:

"It won't be micro-curvature flight.

"From the principle of micro-curvature, the micro-curvature engine can only avoid passive detection equipment, but not active detection equipment.

"Therefore, when we know the existence of the opponent, the opponent uses micro-curvature to fly, and it is impossible to maintain stealth."

This explanation is easy to understand.

The stealth effect of the Ghost can only be at a distance of more than 100 light seconds from the planet, and after entering the 100 light second forbidden zone, there is a risk of being discovered.

Under normal circumstances, the reconnaissance equipment of advanced civilizations can be divided into two types: passive and active.

Passive reconnaissance equipment, of course, is not as effective as active reconnaissance equipment.

However, the active type requires energy consumption, and the reconnaissance has certain area restrictions.

Therefore, in the star system, it is impossible to arrange active reconnaissance equipment at every location.

Passive reconnaissance equipment can cover most areas of the main planet in the star system.

The real function of the micro-curvature engine is to avoid detection by passive detection equipment, but it cannot avoid detection by active detection equipment.

Now the expedition fleet is tracking the Felwood ghost fleet, and they must be using active reconnaissance equipment, which means that the micro-curvature engine cannot escape detection.

If the possibility of micro-curvature flight is excluded, then the Felwood Ghost Fleet can only fly with a power engine, or even rely on inertial drifting in the universe.

In this case, it is impossible for the Felwood ghost fleet to run very far.

"In this case, the carpet search will definitely find them, and if you find them, just press them on the ground and rub them." Niu Dazhi clapped his palms and said.

"Wait a moment."

Zhao Anya interrupted everyone and reminded: "Be careful of the opponent's counterattack!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Han Youwei behind her.

Han Youwei took over the topic and said: "I've read the Felwood Ghost Fleet's combat records for the past fifty years. The best tactics this fleet is good at is to lure the pursuit fleet into a trap, and then rely on the ghost's ability to disappear, then detour behind the pursuit fleet and launch an attack. A surprise attack will annihilate the pursuing fleet.

"This tactic of the Felwood Ghost Fleet has never failed.

"This has made it impossible for any fleet in the carbon-based alliance to chase them in the past twenty years.

"This is also the reason why the Three-Eyed Fleet dare not leave Planet Ninth to pursue the Felwood Ghost Fleet."

Fang Yuan groaned for a moment, and said: "Fleet formation adjustment, Youwei, Niu Dazhi... You guys go to the counterattack, go to the tail of the team, to prevent the opponent from going around and attacking. Shenzhou leads the ship and starts to search for the target."

The expedition fleet began to change formation.

The Shenzhou needs to continue to lead, because the Shenzhou is the flagship, once it appears at the tail of the fleet, the Felwood Ghost Fleet will definitely notice it.

Therefore, the Dragon Team can only be sent to the Counterattack to protect the rear of the fleet.

After the order was issued and the formation was corrected, the expeditionary fleet began a blanket search for μ560 Pisces to catch the disappearing mouse.
