One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-One Curve Arc
The Leishan had no mission when it went deep behind enemy lines. In other words, Beiyuezhou fully delegated its power. Ye Han could command however he wanted and command however he liked.
Soon after, Leishan's course suddenly shifted to the right, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and it was heading towards asteroid No. 4.
The enemy ship that had been following the Leishan responded immediately, but the alien's reaction was very strange. The enemy ship on the side of the No. 3 star looked like it had nothing to do with it and stayed in place motionless, while the enemy ship in the direction of the No. 4 star looked like it had nothing to do with it. The enemy ship immediately pointed its bow at the Leishan, looking like it was ready to fight at any time.
Ye Han thought this was quite interesting. Could it be that the aliens also formed gangs within themselves?
But not long after, the enemy ships in the direction of Star 3 started to move and began to move towards Leishan.
At this time, the situation faced by the Leishan was that there were a group of enemy troops on the left and right sides, and there were no obstacles in the front and rear directions. Perhaps in order to prevent Leishan from attacking the asteroid, these two groups of enemy troops simply refused to leave the asteroid behind them.
Ye Han didn't need to think at all and directly ordered He Lu to move towards the fourth star.
There is about a five-day journey between the Leishan and the No. 4 asteroid. If the enemy stays put, the two sides will encounter each other in four days.
Ye Han thought this was an opportunity, so he decided to fly over and take a gamble.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that they realized that the Leishan really meant to attack the No. 4 star. The enemy ships did not dare to stay where they were. They divided into several directions and headed towards the Leishan. Then they slowed down and turned around, and the bow of the ship turned towards the Leishan. Flying... It would be useless to have a head-on conflict with the Leishan. It would be safer to fly backwards.
Ye Han didn't even think about engaging in a firefight with them. They were still hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, so he ordered He Lu to fire on the enemy ships... Well, not just on the enemy ships, but more importantly, on Asteroid No. 4!
That's right, Ye Han just wanted to copy the success of the Nanzhou. He carried a batch of private goods in a large wave of artillery fire, bypassed the blockade of enemy ships and bombed the fourth star.
But Leishan is currently still a day and a half away from Star 4, with a straight-line distance of more than 7 million kilometers.
Star No. 4 is not Ceres, let alone 7 million kilometers, or 70,000 kilometers. It is hard to say whether the electromagnetic gun can hit the target. The only chance is to use missiles.
This is what Ye Han thinks and does. He really wants to use missiles to flood the No. 4 star, but he shoots down all the long-range missiles as soon as he enters behind enemy lines. What if he encounters a similar situation later?
He had no choice but to hold back his impulse.
Launch five long-range missiles at Star 4 - this is ten percent of the Leishan's entire inventory.
The remaining long-range missiles must be carefully budgeted, and do not use them when they can be used. When these missiles are almost used, it is almost time to withdraw from behind enemy lines.
The long-range missile was silent when launched, and it was inconspicuous among several waves of shells. As for whether it could hit the target, Ye Han didn't care at all.
As long as the enemy can be mobilized, what does it matter if all the missiles are intercepted by enemy ships?
With this purpose in mind, the Leishan flew forward for a while. When it might be surrounded by enemy forces if it flew further, it suddenly turned and continued to penetrate behind enemy lines.
As soon as the aliens saw that the Leishan wanted to run away, they immediately gave up. The alien fleet in front split into two, with one half chasing the Leishan's butt and the other half heading back to the fourth star...
Ye Han was dumbfounded immediately, followed by a burst of silly joy.
Others were also in disbelief. Luo Qi's eyes almost fell out: "What are you doing? Why did you withdraw so quickly?"
He Lu said: "They must be afraid that we will run away. Didn't you see that they were chasing us?"
Ye Han smiled and said: "It's good to go back to the ship. I was worried that they would stop all the missiles. If I had known they were so sensible, wouldn't it be better for us to run away earlier?"
Luo Qi touched his head: "They don't care about those artillery shells and missiles?"
"Definitely." Ye Han said, "We are too far away from the No. 4 star. I guess they must think that all our artillery fire is aimed at the battleship, and think that it will be fine if we avoid it."
"This is really, really fatal." Luo Qi sighed with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Ye Han nodded: "It is indeed fatal."
"Let's not worry about the aliens, okay?" He Lu suggested softly, "They are chasing us."
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about them and do something serious... He Lu, you can do whatever you want. Give them a break when you have the chance to let them know that we are not easy to chase... Why are you saying this? Awkward?”
Luo Qi smiled: "It sounds awkward to me."
"Forget it, forget it. If it's awkward, just go ahead. Where is the way?"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" He Lu agreed and immediately mobilized the resources of the ship's interception computer to calculate the orbital data of both sides.
The Thunder Mountain did turn, but it was still far from being out of danger.
The problem still lies in inertia. Although Ye Han gave the order to turn, the original speed and direction are still acting on the Leishan. The so-called turning is just changing the angle of the bow of the ship, and then driving forward at full power. files.
The battleship has moved in a new direction under the action of the propeller, slowly dragging the originally straight route into an increasingly curved arc. When the arc straightens, the turn is completed - this is It is a very long process, it will last for ten to eight days at least, so there is no rush.
What about aliens?
Their battleship was originally blocking the Leishan, but the Leishan didn't turn that fast, which left an opportunity for the aliens.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If the aliens draw a vertical line on the route of the alien warship and the Leishan, and fly along this line, they can reach the interception position in the shortest time.
However, the alien warship also has to consider the inertia problem. If it really flies along the vertical line, it will have to brake and fly back after arriving at the place, otherwise it will miss the position and cannot intercept the Leishan at all.
This involves complex space calculations. When humans encounter similar situations, they use shipboard computers to calculate the route. As for how the aliens calculate, no one knows.
Fortunately, the Leishan's turn has not yet ended. According to He Lu's calculation, the Leishan will eventually pass by the enemy ship... The passing here means almost entering the enemy ship's firepower radius, not really missing the enemy ship at close range.
He Lu constantly corrected the navigation data of both sides, and the calculation results also changed with the actions of both sides. As time passed, the arc of the Leishan's route became larger and larger, and the speed of the enemy ship on the opposite side became faster and faster, and it was even faster than He Lu expected. According to the existing data plan, the enemy ship has already intercepted the Leishan.
However, He Lu was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he completely relaxed and happily watched the aliens busy on the screen.
