Chapter 635 God of War? God of Gamblers!

Since the fleet commanded by Amber entered the 'covert action' mode after only a short acceleration, according to the calculations of the shipboard controller's personality, his fleet would need to sneak in this way for almost 48 hours to reach the approximate coordinates given by Amber. .

Although this time does take a long time, in Amber's opinion, if there is an ambusher, this can be regarded as a test of their patience. If the opponent cannot sit still and wants to take action, the fleet still has room for maneuver. .

But if the opponent is a patient hunter and just waits for Atlas's fleet to enter the ambush circle, it means that the next battle will never be simple and easy.

At present, the fleet has been sneaking for 12 hours according to the approximate coordinates given by Amber. During this period, the fleet has not found any abnormalities. It seems that in the space surrounding the 'Pillar of All Living Beings', only the Atlas Fleet is there. Sailing alone.

At the same time, when the fleet passed a predetermined 'checkpoint', it also successfully merged with a spy ship that had sneaked in in the early stage.

The special mission ship "Polarized Light" commanded by Tom arrived at the "Pillar of All Living Things" in advance and lurked when Amber and the others formally decided on this strategic fraud plan and the main fleet began to head to the edge of the federal controlled area. .

After so many days of secret reconnaissance, Tom reported to Amber that no large-scale fleet jumps had been detected these days, and the entire "Pillar of All Living" area seemed very "calm" and "uncontested". It's like what's happening outside has nothing to do with the people here.

Such reports also made Amber begin to feel that her strategic fraud might actually succeed.

Considering that it was unknown what kind of battle there would be when approaching the proton annihilation bomb assembly center, Amber finally decided to temporarily lower the combat readiness level in order to ensure the physical fitness and energy of the crew.

"Attention of the entire fleet, from now on the combat readiness level will be reduced to level three. Oxygen will be re-supplied in each cabin. All positions will start working shifts according to the pre-planned plan. Each ship's HCP and heavy armored combat craft squadron will leave on-duty personnel and then transition to a rest and standby state. ."

As this order was issued, the bridge of the Eternal began to be re-injected with regenerative oxygen. The crew members at various positions on the bridge also lifted the helmets of their cabin suits and hung them behind their heads, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the oxygen in the cabin suit has been purified, no matter how you breathe in the cabin suit, you still can't breathe as freely after taking off the helmet.

Several bridge officers who were going to rest as planned also quickly left the bridge after saluting Amber. Their posts would naturally be taken over by others, and they themselves had to seize this precious time to go back to sleep. a while.

After all, no one knows if they will have time to sleep if they enter a battle. If they encounter a 'protracted war' again, it will be a sour taste.

As for being unable to sleep due to excitement, nervousness, etc., this will not happen to them at all.

The design team, which has long considered this, installed a small module that releases sleep-aiding gas on everyone's bed and fixed sleeping bag in each lounge.

This module will also determine the user's current state based on various physical data of the sleeping bag user, and release corresponding concentrations of sleep-aiding gas according to each person's different levels of excitement.

Five hours after the order to lower the combat readiness level was issued, the 'Polarized Light', which had completed supplies and a short personnel rest, was dispatched again.

This special mission ship quickly broke away from the fleet formation through the 'kinetic energy block throwing system'. After a sufficient distance from the fleet, this special mission ship will perform several short accelerations to conduct in-depth reconnaissance forward.

The 'Kinetic Energy Block Throwing System' is a simple device derived from HCP. To put it bluntly, it is a system that throws standard alloy blocks in a certain direction to generate reaction force to make the ship adjust its course.

Although the vector thrust generated in this way is completely incomparable to the attitude control nozzle, the advantage is that the movement of this thing is approximately zero. As long as it is not stuck in the face of the detection device, it will be difficult to detect in the cosmic environment.

As the spy ship was dispatched again, Amber also noticed that the tension in her heart was gradually rising like a tide. This was a feeling that was almost forgotten after a long period of calm.

Every breath seemed to be mixed with unknown risks and challenges. As his heart beat faster, his senses became extremely sharp, as if everything around him became more vivid and real at this moment.

For Amber at this moment, this tension is not entirely negative - on the contrary, it brings Amber a long-lost excitement, a wonderful psychological pleasure that is freed from the daily monotony.

Every nerve in the body that has been infiltrated by spiritual energy for a long time is activated, and every cell is looking forward to the upcoming 'plot development'.

Although Amber understands that the front may be full of uncertainties and potential dangers, and may even plunge the entire fleet into catastrophe, it is moments like this that make him feel the pulse of life and a strong sense of self-existence.

This is a battle of hearts and wills, and Amber is at the center of this battle.

But he was surprised to find that his spiritual strength, which had been stable for a long time, became active again under this stimulation, just like the protagonist in a martial arts novel trying to break through some kind of bottleneck.

"No? How can it still be like this?!"

Amber subconsciously wanted to find the 'psionic master (academic type) around her'. That is, Saleh came to inquire, but unfortunately, this pioneer, the old frozen meat, was currently in A. Bava, thousands of light years away. ·In the library fortress, he brought a group of technicians to 'hand rub' the important parts of the Spectral Destroyer.

Moreover, after the fleet enters covert action mode, it is inconvenient to conduct such ultra-long-distance communications. Even quantum entanglement communications may be at risk of being detected.

So Amber threw away this unrealistic idea without much need to weigh it.

Fortunately, this feeling of "making a breakthrough" did not last long, and disappeared after Amber's psychic power increased slightly.

The unique talent of high-level psychics - 'forced calmness', quickly calmed Amber down from his previous state of mind.

——

The entire fleet maintained the 'covert action' mode and spent another tense and boring 10 hours. The spy ship that went out again for in-depth investigation also sent back the message through extremely short 'interrupted frequency' covert communications. A brief message.

“Eagle spots chick.”

And this information has one and only one meaning in this operation - they discovered the specific location of the proton annihilation bomb assembly center.

Soon, the shipboard control personality of the 'Eternal' re-corrected the fleet course. Since the fleet was too large to use the 'Kinetic Energy Block Throwing System' at the same time, the course correction this time would be carried out using the attitude control nozzle.

This also means that there is a great possibility that the entire fleet will be discovered by the enemy after this course adjustment.

Therefore, in the preset combat plan, this course adjustment also means that the fleet will turn off its optical stealth, deploy a battle formation, and start assaulting the target.

But before that, Amber still needs to consider one last issue.

That is whether to take a gamble and let the fleet adjust its course with the vector nozzle without removing the optical stealth and black body covering, and then continue to sneak in the direction of the assembly center.

Doing so will not only greatly reduce the attack distance, but may also create an opportunity for the commandos to break into the assembly center.

For strategic weapons like proton annihilation bombs, if you say that Amber is completely unmoved by it, you must be lying. After all, this thing is also a "star-exploding" weapon.

But the problem is that if you do this, you will inevitably break away from the operational planning process, and all subsequent actions will create great uncontrollable risks.

In fact, during the pre-war meeting, Amber and the others considered taking the opportunity to 'light up' the proton annihilation bomb technology, but in the end everyone still believed that this battle was of great strategic significance to the group and could not be affected by such a technology. It's a 'big game'.

So in the end, Amber and the others reluctantly crossed out this plan and chose to completely destroy the proton annihilation bomb assembly center. Since they couldn't get it, it was better to destroy it.

But at this critical moment, seeing that the technology of proton annihilation bombs seems to be in front of him, Amber will inevitably get greedy. He is not a saint, and it is normal to have such thoughts.

It's like if you were going to burn down the bank, and then found that there was a high-denomination bearer bond in the vault, wouldn't you have the urge to take it away?

But Amber still knew what was important, so after hesitating for a few seconds, he made a decision.

"Cerris, the entire fleet has entered the first level of combat readiness. The deflection field generators of each ship are activated. All weapon systems are online. The optical stealth is released. After quickly adjusting the course, it will switch to the assault formation and start the impact at the highest speed!"

"Yes, Commander, I will obey your will~"

Under the orders of the shipboard control personality 'Cerris', the battleships released their optical stealth one after another, and then the plasma propulsion arrays that were constantly lit directly illuminated this dark universe.

"All detection components and sensor arrays turn on high-power working mode, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance enter the T1 stage, the air alert level is increased, and the air defense commanders of each unit unlock the authority to direct fire on their own."

"The first wave of HCP and heavy armored combat boats carry anti-ship equipment groups and are connected to the electromagnetic ejection orbit, waiting for attack instructions. The second wave carries space warfare and anti-aircraft weapon groups on standby!"

"The fleet-level adaptive electronic countermeasures unit begins to form a network, and each ship's onboard control personality pays attention to the distribution of computing power."

Amber issued a series of instructions one after another, and Geseris, the shipboard controller of the Eternal, quickly refined them and communicated them to the entire fleet.

At the same time, Amber also said to Lilith in her mind: "I'm asking you to assist me in electronic warfare. After all, this is Ceres's first time on such a big scene. I'm afraid she's inexperienced."

"Master, you really don't trust me~"

Lilith's coquettish words rang in Amber's ears, and on a small virtual screen in front of him, a Q-version of Lilith's animated villain appeared and waved a pink fist at him.

"Before Ceres was officially loaded onto the Eternal, she was personally trained and debugged for many rounds. Moreover, her iteration time was the longest among the three super-flag control personnel, and even exceeded the 'Century Veteran' level, but Master, your current instructions are too detailed, so you don’t give Seris any room to play."

"Can I not be more careful and meticulous about this? This fleet is just a raiding force, and it is an '80% new' fleet. If I don't think about it, it will be a disaster if something goes wrong!"

Amber said to Lilith helplessly, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

In the end, he didn't get greedy and gave up the plan to let the commandos first break into the assembly center to obtain the proton bomb information. Instead, he planned to follow the battle plan and let the fleet fire a few rounds of salvos to complete this 'demolition' task.

After all, after the commotion here, the Federal Navy will definitely take action. That's when the 'main course' of this battle plan will begin. Who knows if the Federal Navy will follow Amber's idea and send a suitable number of fleets to pursue.

And this decision, 10 minutes later, made Amber feel lucky and a chill on her back.

"Report! The 8th Reconnaissance Squadron detected a large number of warships removing their optical stealth from the G44 area!"

"Report! The rearguard fleet detected fleet-scale warships appearing in the R39 area!"

"Report! The 14th Reconnaissance Squadron exchanged fire with the enemy and has now withdrawn under the cover of friendly forces. Based on the identification of the characteristics of the enemy warships, it was determined to be the First Fleet of the Federal Navy!"

The fleet commanded by Amber discovered that the Federal Fleet was approaching rapidly in three directions almost at the same time, and the First Fleet of the Federal Navy was identified among them.

"What the hell, or ambushed?!"

This was Amber's first reaction after hearing the emergency reconnaissance report.

Then, he frowned in confusion, because according to previous intelligence, the First Fleet of the Federal Navy should be playing a game of "staring at each other" with the Atlas combat fleet on the confrontation line.

"How come they suddenly appear here? Is the fleet over there pretended to be other warships? But where does the Federation Navy get so many warships?"

But at this time, Amber didn't have time to think about the answers to these three questions, because he had already drawn the "bad luck" of this operation - he was ambushed by the Federation Navy or Trafalgar.

On the tactical star map that was urgently lit up, the red triangular arrows representing the three fleets of the Federation Navy suddenly came straight from three directions. This sophisticated arrangement based on experience to predict the track of the Atlas fleet in advance can be said to have blocked the fleet's emergency evacuation route in an instant.

And the interstellar dust cloud of the "Pillar of All Life" also provided them with good cover. After entering the "covert action" mode, it would be difficult to be discovered as long as they did not move around.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stealth effect, the Atlas fleet, which had only activated the minimum air surveillance, did not discover these ambushing fleets, and followed the "worst result" described by Amber and Ramos and other young officers, and entered the ambush circle all the way.

"This plan cannot be leaked. Lilith has basically kept an eye on everyone who knows this plan during this period."

"The deployment of the fleet is also kept in absolute confidentiality. No one even knows where they will go before departure."

"The feint attack performance on the confrontation line has almost reached the extreme, and can even be converted into a real attack at any time. Even Trafalgar cannot help but be vigilant about this."

"But he ambushed three fleets. He even ambushed them before the "Polarized Light" lurked over."

Thinking of this, Amber suddenly felt like he had an electric shock on his forehead, and his mind was instantly opened.

"This old fox, he is not going to gamble again?!"
