Chapter 1459: Space Mines

"Haven't we tested the 'Ghost Curtain' many times?" Eve asked in a puzzled tone.

As soon as she asked, she didn't stop her movements. She quickly swiped her fingers on the control screen to adjust the fleet's parameters and prepare to cooperate with the "ghost curtain".

"The previous tests were all conducted by our fleet alone, and there was no real test target. This time, we have a test helper to see how effective the 'Ghost Curtain' can be." Fang Yuan said.

six hours later.

Every fifteen minutes, Ye Zheyu reported the target's movement on time: "The Caesar Celatis fleet is 3,000 light seconds away, and it has entered the radar locking range. It is expected to be caught up within half an hour."

"According to the normal tactics, release space mines first." Fang Yuan gave the order in a flat tone.

The 36 warships of the expedition fleet simultaneously opened the nozzles of space mines, pouring out thousands of space mines and floating into space.

Space mines, as the name suggests, are similar to ground mines, and are used to ambush passing fleets.

Now the target of Caesar Celatis' fleet is the human expedition fleet, and it is chasing it in a straight line. If it does not change its course, it will inevitably hit a space mine.

Of course, space mines are not just as simple as ordinary landmines. When an enemy ship is detected within a certain range, it will activate a small jet device to actively catch up and attack.

half an hour later.

boom!

A loud bang exploded in space.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions, like a firework blooming in the dark deep space of the universe.

In space, you can't hear the sound of the explosion, you can only see the dazzling light, just like flowers blooming one by one.

"The space mine exploded, and they hit it directly." Ye Zheyu immediately reported what the scouting eye saw.

"And then?" Fang Yuan asked.

"The fleet of Caesar Seratis started to slow down, turned on the energy shield, and turned to bypass the minefield. However, the adjusted direction couldn't completely avoid the minefield. It should be to directly rush over." Ye Zheyu replied .

The power of space mines is relatively small among warship weapons.

It is impossible to sink the enemy fleet with space mines.

...

at the same time.

In the Paleser support fleet, Caesar Celatis sat on the bridge of his flagship Caesar, felt the vibration of the hull, and his face was a little displeased: "Why didn't the space mines be detected in advance?"

"The speed is too fast. When the reconnaissance is detected, it is too late to change the course." The reconnaissance team quickly explained.

that's the truth.

Caesar Celatis' fleet is flying at a curvature speed of 36 times the speed of light. With such a fast speed, even if space mines are detected, they usually have no way to respond.

Even the reconnaissance team didn't even have time to report, the fleet had already crashed into it.

Therefore, even though space mines are relatively small weapons among space weapons, their effects are still very good.

Used to stop the pursuit of the enemy fleet, it can cause trouble for the pursuit fleet, so that there is a chance to escape.

"Using space mines? It seems that they want to escape, rush out of the minefield and catch up, I want to see how many space mines they have left!" Caesar Celatis snorted coldly, and ordered to continue the pursuit The command.

"General, before departure, General Zandar Ikochi once reminded that this human fleet is very dangerous. Is it possible that this release of space mines is a deliberate show of weakness?" A fleet sent by the military council of the home planet The ideological supervisory army made a reminder.

In the Palesean civilization, the military council will send ideological supervisors to each fleet as an envoy to convey the will of the parent planet's military council.

Usually, the ideological supervisory army has a special status in the fleet, and is directly managed by the military council of the home planet.

Therefore, in the fleet going out to fight, all the space troops may not want to listen to the military council's instructions, but the ideological supervision army will absolutely obey the orders of the military council.

Before the fleet of Caesar Seratis set off, Zandar Ikechi personally summoned the thought supervisor and gave him several orders.

So at this time, the thought supervisor reminded Caesar Seratis.

Since the ideological supervision army is the thread used by the military council of the home planet to control the fleet, all fleet commanders hate this thread.

After all, no one wants to be a marionette.

"Are you trying to teach me how to command a fleet?" Caesar Seratis narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the thought supervisor, with a hint of danger in his eyes.

Originally, as the commander of the fleet, he hated the ideological supervision army installed by the military council.

Caesar Seratis is also a member of the Palesi royal family, with a distinguished status, and he does not need to be monitored by the Thought Supervisor.

"General, I just made a small suggestion." Knowing that this Caesar Celatis has always been ruthless, the ideological supervisor quickly bowed his head and explained respectfully.

Caesar Seratis looked at the adjutant, and ordered: "Order the entire fleet to enter the highest level of combat state, this time the opponents have completely wiped out the Felwood Ghost Fleet!"

Although he is very unhappy with the ideological supervisor, this does not prevent him from following the advice.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the fleet to be more vigilant.

ten minutes later.

The minefield that the Caesar Celatis fleet passed through, and then continued to accelerate the pursuit of the human expedition fleet.

"General, the target is 1,000 light seconds away, and our radar has locked on it, so they can't escape." The reconnaissance team was a little excited.

Under normal circumstances, when chasing a fleet, if it reaches a distance of 1000 light seconds, then it has entered the absolute locking distance of the radar.

If there is no accident, the target cannot escape, the difference is only how long it can escape.

"Order all battleships, increase the speed again! Catch up and crush them!" Caesar Seratis ordered loudly.

The battleships in the fleet released a stronger star force response, and the speed of the battleships increased again, reaching 39 times the speed of light.

"The distance is 800 light-seconds, 750 light-seconds..." The reconnaissance team's tone was full of excitement, as if it was a wild beast that opened its bloody mouth and was about to pounce on its prey.

At this time, the Thought Supervisor reminded again: "General, General Zandar Ikoc once analyzed that the human fleet has shown signs of testing the 'ghost curtain', so the human fleet is likely to have this fleet skill."

"That's Felwood Lester's fleet skill, and there's never been direct evidence of that."

Caesar Seratis snorted coldly, and then gave an order: "Scout team, lock on the target, the highest scouting state, absolutely don't let the target be lost."

"yes!"

The reconnaissance team's response has not yet ended, and suddenly exclaimed: "The target has disappeared!"

"What? Rush up, they must be at their original position, the effect of the 'ghost curtain' cannot increase their movement speed!" Caesar Seratis responded immediately, ordering the fleet to rush up.
