Chapter 588 The Foundation Reappears

Before the Red Hand Special Strike Team entered the jump, Amber and his team also received the latest news from the research ship ahead.

The Foundation's fleet has released several small reconnaissance ships converted from civilian ships, and the combat ships have also found a location to complete the deployment. It is estimated that after the other party confirms that there is no danger, they will send the research ship currently guarded in the middle of the formation to the location of the ruins.

"Our jump time is about one standard day. If so, when we arrive, the Foundation's people are probably almost in."

Ramos, the commander of the Red Hand Special Strike Team, said that he was one of the first captains to join Atlas except Randall and Cleves.

Later, in the "Battle of the Three Idiots" and the defense of the A. Bava Ku asteroid fortress, he showed outstanding abilities, so he was later promoted to a squad commander under the asteroid fortress defense fleet.

This time, when Amber was 'forming a troop card', she screened among the 'reserve commanders' and finally Ramos stood out and became the commander of the 'Red Hand' special strike team.

Hearing the words of the new commander, Amber nodded and replied:

"It depends on whether the gate of this forerunner ruins can be blocked for a while. If we can't stop the other party from cracking it, then we may really have to be prepared to be beaten to the punch by others."

-

"Fuck! They really got there first!"

When the 'Red Hand' special strike team left the jump and received several messages from the research ship, Amber suddenly felt that her luck was not very good today.

The Truth Seeking Foundation changed its cautious style in the past. After the unmanned reconnaissance unit confirmed that there was no threat near the institute, the Foundation fleet pressed on and surrounded the institute.

Then, the Foundation's research ship quickly docked with the institute and began to deploy personnel to enter the internal area of ​​the institute.

Although the gate of this institute seemed to be in operation, it did not last long in the face of the Foundation's cracking before it was opened. According to the news from the research ship, the Foundation's fleet did not seem to have triggered the defense firepower of this institute, and the entire institute seemed to be defenseless against them.

The coordinates chosen by the "Red Hand" special strike team, although called backup hidden coordinates, actually only distanced themselves from the institute to prevent the opponent from attacking first, and could not really play a role in concealment.

Especially in the "hole area" where this pioneer institute is located, the collective jump of a small fleet is as eye-catching as a torch in the dark night.

So Amber knew that the Truth Seeking Foundation must have discovered the strike team at this time. In this case, Amber did not intend to sneak over secretly. Instead, after confirming that the surrounding airspace was safe, she directly let the strike team rush towards the location of the institute along the shortest track.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Ramos, the commander of the strike team, had actually guessed Amber's thoughts at this time, but he still asked for insurance.

"What else can we do? Attack!"

"Yes, Boss! Attack!"

After hearing the reassuring order, Ramos excitedly gave the attack order to the strike team.

After staying in the Atlas Group for so long, many Atlas employees, including Ramos, have actually developed a certain degree of "contempt" for other civilian units.

In their view, except for the two serious national forces of the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire, other civilian forces have long been unable to compete with Atlas.

So in these battles where the opponents are civilian organizations, pirates, and rebels, the commanders of Atlas will naturally have the psychological advantage of "confidence in winning +1".

As the "Red Hand" special strike team entered combat speed and continued to close the distance with the area where the research institute was located, the main screen of the flagship bridge soon appeared with the images captured by the optical sensor.

Since the light in this empty area is too low, the images presented are also composite images that have been brightened by the shipborne control personality repair.

In the center of the picture, the Entat 032 Research Institute, which had been removed from its disguise by the Truth Seeking Foundation, was quietly staying in this space.

The entire institute was shaped like a huge gyroscope. The center of the institute was a sphere composed of two concentric rings rotating around the same axis. The diameter of each ring was about five kilometers, and two spiral arms more than ten kilometers long extended from the rings.

The overall shape highlighted an abstraction - but this was the architectural style of the Jeram people.

In the airspace around the institute, the fleet of the Truth Seeking Foundation had also adjusted the axis of the warship to the direction of the 'Red Hand' strike team. Judging from the flashing blue light behind the front silhouette of their warship, the opponent's warship had also entered an accelerated state.

"The size of the enemy fleet has been confirmed! Requiem-class battleships x 2, Aurora-class heavy cruisers x 3, Fury-class light cruisers x 8"

The tactical information coordinator loudly reported the situation of the Foundation fleet that had been detected. Judging from the overall number of warships, it was no less than that of the 'Red Hand' strike team, but the expressions of everyone on the bridge remained calm.

If it were Amber and Atlas in the past, they would still be a little nervous when they saw this kind of battle, but now is different. After seeing the fleet of the Seeking Truth Foundation again, Amber only asked Ramos a question:

"In the first round of attack, can we strive to cause more than 40% of the enemy's losses?"

"Make sure to complete the mission, Boss!"

"Are you so confident in letting your subordinates command the battle now? And when the enemy and our forces are close on paper?"

In the back seat of a modified two-seat heavy armored combat boat, Saleh looked at the two fleets that had already entered the exchange of fire in the distance and asked through the screen displayed inside the armored hatch by the distributed aperture system.

"After all, the people below have to take over the routine command. I am alone. Do I have to command all the big and small battles of Atlas? Then why do I recruit so many people and pay them high salaries?"

As Amber answered, she controlled the two-seat combat boat, using the compressed gas-powered attitude control nozzle in the stealth action mode to control the orbit, and circled a huge arc to approach the institute from another direction.

As the distance between the battleship and the institute got closer and closer, Amber also removed the stealth and turned 180 degrees, using the main propulsion array to slow down.

"Salih, is the back door you mentioned reliable? We are almost there!"

"It is reliable. There is a fast access passage to the upper area of ​​the institute. After entering, you can go directly to the core area of ​​the institute!"

Hearing Salih's affirmative answer, Amber no longer hesitated and directly controlled the battleship to shoot several carbon fiber ropes for fixing at the outer wall of the institute. Then, a "side parking" was carried out to park the two-seater battleship next to the fast access passage pointed out by Salih.

Soon, the armored hatch of the battleship was opened, and Amber, who had already changed into a psychic battle suit, and Salih, who was wearing a forerunner battle suit, floated out of the battleship and followed a carbon fiber rope to the location of this "back door".

"Okay, Salih, open the back door quickly~"

"Give me two minutes!"
