Chapter 1122 Chapter 120 Chase

"It's been 65 years in Tianyuan!" In the distant starry sky, five spaceships escaped from the hyperspace flight and checked the direction of Midway.

Captain Gao Shang calculated the time, the time should not be too early - that would make the Third Prince and the Honghe Civilization discover that Tianyuan Star is not far away from them, and it would be troublesome if they sent out spaceships to search.

But it can't be too late, it will exhaust the third prince's patience.

Thirty years is the limit of high calculation. From the initial return on the spaceship traded by the third prince to the midway star in his own spaceship, and considering the various problems within the Tianyuan star, the three princes only allow thirty years at most.

For more than thirty years, even if the third prince can continue to cooperate, it will leave a knot between the two parties. And as long as there are pimples, sooner or later there will be an outbreak.

Gao Shang's plan is to arrive at Midway in about 25 years, that is, around 80 years of Tianyuan. Until then, sail slowly. By the way, you can detour and observe the starry sky around you.

And 25 years is also Gao Shang's test for the third prince. If the news has not been leaked in 25 years, it means that the third prince really has means. Everyone can strengthen cooperation a little bit, but more importantly, strengthen precautions.

Cooperating with capable people saves effort; but cooperating with capable people does not save worry!

Calculating the time, he could still spend 16 years in space, so Gao Shang let the fleet continue to enter the state of hyperspace flight.

Not to mention, in this flying state, it is actually helpful to practice—but only in the realm of returning to true nature.

…………

Here in Tianyuanxing, it is already a different scene. After confirming the invasion, the entire Tianyuan star was mobilized instantly.

As early as after Voyager returned, everyone strengthened their military equipment to the limit in order to deal with the problems of the Red River civilization.

At this time, it took less than half an hour for the entire Tianyuan Star to complete the preparations, and a large number of spaceships began to accelerate.

A stationary spaceship is a living target. Only a moving spaceship can avoid blows to the greatest extent.

But the situation is still not optimistic. At this time, the base closest to the battlefield is not the Pluto base, but the base on Jupiter's satellite, the legendary satellite.

At this time, Pluto is just on the other side of the sky. The rest of the bases have more or less similar problems. This caused the Jupiter base to be the closest to the battlefield.

And this closest one is 1.4 billion kilometers away!

What's more serious is that everyone's super-light communication at this time can only be connected with Dugu Junjie through a single line; and the latest news shows that Dugu Junjie's flagship seems to have been severely damaged, and Dugu Junjie had to transfer to another place with his communication equipment. in the spaceship.

Except for the super-light speed communication with Dugu Junjie on the ground, the rest of the communication still can only rely on traditional methods.

The communication is not smooth, which is definitely an extremely bad situation. Not to mention that Pluto, an extremely important military base of the Ocean Group, is still on the other side of the starry sky. The distance from the battlefield is more than 10 billion kilometers.

Most importantly, the Pluto base has not yet received a signal of an attack. From now on, the signal sent from Tianyuanxing to Pluto is still on the way. It will take at least 300 more minutes for the signal to arrive.

Fortunately, everyone is still prepared.

In the orbit around Tianyuan star, a large number of star cannons have begun to check the direction.

At the same time, the communication is also passed out: pay attention to the attack path of the evasive railgun. Considering the error problem, please do not get close to the 10,000-kilometer range of the design path. Of course, the farther the better.

Especially Dugu Junjie's place is more than 4.5 billion kilometers away from Tianyuan Star. When the railgun attacks here, the error may reach the level of 100,000 kilometers. But Dugu Junjie's side is also under the greatest pressure. They need to find ways to keep the enemy's fleet in the same direction.

In other words, on Dugu Junjie's side, he not only needs to delay the enemy's footsteps, but also serves as a bait to keep the enemy in a fixed direction as much as possible.

The sudden appearance of the enemy is too cunning. Their spaceships can hardly go in a straight line, and their direction of progress in space is crooked, and there is no definite number at all. Its overall forward direction remains unchanged, but its lateral movement may be as high as hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers.

The railgun launched from Tianyuan star can reach a speed of 0.16 times the speed of light, and it will take at least 26 hours to fly 4.5 billion kilometers. Maybe an extra half hour to account for the gravitational pull of the star.

For such a long time, how to ensure that the enemy always keeps the same general direction?

"Lead by example!" The staff officer beside Dugu Junjie said these four words. It sounds a bit off topic, we are talking about the military, not education.

But Dugu Junjie understood.

He hesitated, gritted his teeth immediately, and ordered: "Adjust the direction of the spaceship and enter the central area of ​​the road map. Stay in this area as much as possible and strike the enemy."

If you want to fool the enemy, you must first make your own choice—forcing the enemy to go in a certain direction is impossible, and everyone is not stupid. What's more, with the current combat capabilities of 15 warships, or small warships, they can't give much strong guidance to the remaining 60 warships of the enemy.

And according to Dugu Junjie's understanding, the rail gun has errors. Especially on the scale of 4.5 billion kilometers, the error will never be less than three to five thousand kilometers.

Then, as long as the fleet stays within the planned route range of the rail gun, it is the safest-provided that the rail gun does not shoot too accurately.

Time is running out. Because the situation is getting more urgent. Dugu Junjie even saw the opponent's spaceship, which had been hit with a hole in the middle and occupied half of the hull, start up again!

The opponent not only has rich combat experience, but also has extraordinary maintenance capabilities. Dugu Junjie has clearly realized that the attack on Tianyuan Star's fleet this time is no small matter.

Without further hesitation, the fleet immediately adjusted its direction and began to shift towards the center of the route planned by the railgun. This transfer, obviously different from the previous strategic maneuver, has a clear purpose.

Seeing the strange movements of Dugu Junjie's fleet, Hegu Hailanbao narrowed his eyes on Hailanbao's fleet. Three words immediately popped into his mind: safe zone!

Yes, as a nomadic civilization, they have too much combat experience. Seeing Dugu Junjie's actions like this, the first thing he thought of was the 'safe zone'.

In the previous "herding" process, many civilizations carried out a wide-ranging and indiscriminate attack. But this kind of attack will definitely leave a safe zone for your own fleet!

Of course, because of his rich combat experience, Hegu Hailanbao didn't immediately shift. Instead, he asked the observation team to observe the starry sky ahead to see if there were any strange flashes.

The attacks of most weapons will generate light, and the speed of light is very fast. As long as the light is detected, it can know whether there is an attack or not.

However, the rail gun is an exception.

Considering that Dugu Junjie has already received information, it means that if there is an attack light, it should be seen in about time. But after observing for more than an hour, nothing was found.

However, there is not much time left for Hegu Hailanbao, because Dugu Junjie's fleet has already caught up from behind.

Previously, the directions of the two sides crossed in a cross shape. The speed of Dugu Junjie's combined fleet was 6,000 kilometers per second; the speed of Hailanbao's fleet reached 13,000 kilometers per second.

But after this period of fighting, Dugu Junjie actually commanded the fleet to circle a large arc and complete a turn. Although the speed has been reduced to less than 5,000 kilometers after turning, it is accelerating at this time and is starting to chase the target from behind.

Of course, the Hailanbao fleet can still accelerate, but the previous attack also caused the fleet to be damaged more obviously. Reckless acceleration will cause at least one-third of the spaceships to be thrown off.

After comprehensive consideration, Hegu Hailanbao resolutely decided—to distance himself. Repair the spaceship first, and calmly think about the strategy again.

So, while Dugu Junjie and others were stunned, the Hailanbao fleet dragged the injured spacecraft, a total of 67 ships, and began to move away, and went further and further away.

"This... this..." The staff officer was a little dumbfounded.

Dugu Junjie took a deep breath, and immediately sent a message to the ground to stop the railgun firing. Then he reported the situation here to the ground, and made a comprehensive analysis of the unfamiliar fleet:

The enemy officers are very cautious, have rich combat experience, and the spaceships have a strong ability to resist losses; these spaceships have a very strong ability to lock targets, and their attack accuracy is extremely high. Compared with the Red River Civilization, on the one hand, it looks like a reserve force, and on the other hand, it looks like a special force.

The Hailanbao fleet began to accelerate laterally. Although its forward speed was still 13,000 kilometers per second, the lateral speed also began to increase. Seen from the sun, its trajectory looks like an involute curve.

It has been moving for more than 200 seconds, and the spaceship recorded a moving distance of nearly 3 million miles before Hegu Hailanbao ordered to stop accelerating, and the spaceship kept moving at a constant speed. The maintenance crew got busy.

As a nomadic civilization, they have strong combat effectiveness. And maintaining the spaceship itself on the battlefield is a kind of combat power.

As for why it moved three million miles, it was because the enemy's covering attack might be powerful, but the range would not be very large. Million miles is the limit.

The diameter area of ​​a million miles is already the diameter of a medium-sized star, not a small area.

It can only be said that Hegu Hailanbao's combat experience is really rich. These are the real elites who have waded from death.

Moreover, even if the spaceships of the Hailanbao Fleet are moving forward at a constant speed, they are still swaying from side to side like swimming fish. Maintenance personnel can only fix themselves to the surface of the spacecraft.

After calculating the speed of his own fleet, and then calculating the speed of Dugu Junjie's fleet, Hegu Hailanbao said calmly: "Everyone has one hour to repair the spaceship. The priority is to repair the power system, followed by the weapon system."

In the rear, Dugu Junjie's fleet has accelerated again. This time, the fleet's acceleration was completely released, and the engine power was pushed to the limit.
