Chapter 405 Encounter 2
Wilson thought that the alien fleet he encountered this time would also retreat quickly.
But he never thought that he would really meet someone who didn't believe in evil.
Only a few minutes later, Ed's report came again through the consciousness network, and his mental fluctuations were quite violent, showing his urgency.
"Boss, the enemy fleet opened fire first after quickly approaching our recovery team!"
"According to the recovery team's report, they also detected violent fluctuations in the void folds in this area, and it is suspected that a large fleet is about to make a space jump."
Wilson was stunned when he heard this.
The navigation route of the pioneer fleet is to follow the best recovery route calculated by the shipboard optical computer and continue to move forward.
Although the recovery team that was dispersed in the middle temporarily left the large fleet and went to different marked points to recover the fungal blanket.
But the distance is not too far, and it is still within the coverage of his consciousness network.
At this distance, the enemy fleet can easily find the huge fleet nearby by slightly expanding the detection range after encountering the recovery team.
"Could it be that they think they can defeat my fleet?"
"No way, am I so unlucky?"
The enemy's unusual operation made Wilson a little unconfident.
He immediately contacted the responsible insect of the recovery team through the consciousness network and asked about the details in person.
"Report to the boss, after the other party launched an attack, I have ordered a counterattack, and now more than a thousand enemy ships have been destroyed............."
The responsible insect got the opportunity to report to the boss in person, and was eager to show his performance, and his mental fluctuations were accompanied by unconcealable excitement.
Wilson, who had rich battlefield experience, interrupted his report directly and ordered:
"Okay, first transfer all the battlefield data and video materials to me."
Within the coverage of the consciousness network, Wilson can get the latest information at any time, which is almost equivalent to being on the front line in person.
In an instant, a large amount of information was quickly received by him through the consciousness network.
Groups of data and even real-life images quickly emerged in his mind.
"Huh? That's it?"
Wilson, who looked serious, was even more confused after reading the battle data.
The number of enemy warships was less than 2,000, and they were all small frigates.
They dared to attack the Zerg fleet without knowing whether to live or die.
Although this recovery team only had 500 Zerg warships, the tonnage of each ship was close to the level of a cruiser.
For warships, tonnage often represents the level of combat effectiveness to a large extent.
Especially in the absence of technological gaps, warships with larger tonnage can carry more powerful weapons, thicker armor, and higher-power shield equipment.
"Who gave them the courage?"
Wilson had seen stubborn people, but he had never seen such a suicidal person.
Five hundred Zerg warships, with one salvo, almost wiped out the entire escort fleet.
Well, not almost, but completely wiped out.
While Wilson was receiving the information transmission, the second salvo launched by the recovery team destroyed all the remaining frigates.
In his mind, the picture of frigates with a length of 100 meters was pierced by multiple high-energy rays with dark red light at the same time, and turned into gorgeous fireworks in the explosion.
The fragile energy protection barrier seemed to be non-existent and had no effect at all.
"Damn, shit!"
"You idiot, don't you know that the red-eyed barnacles will consume the energy reserves of the fungal blanket when they attack?"
"Even if you want to launch a counterattack, you must calculate the required energy intensity, don't waste it!"
"Especially after the high-intensity ray tower attack, the part of the red-eyed barnacles carrying excessive energy will die, and the number of attacks should be reduced as much as possible!"
Wilson's attention was instantly distracted, and he was blasting the command bug of the squad in the consciousness network.
When he was the brigade commander, the amount of ammunition was limited, and he had to apply for a long time before he could fire a shot.
The responsible bug of this squad didn't know how to save at all, it was really a waste.
In order to annihilate only two thousand small frigates, it caused such a huge loss in the battle.
This small-scale encounter was a loss!
Wilson resisted the urge to hang him up and beat him, and ordered angrily:
"You, immediately, immediately, quickly get close to the void fold area and detect relevant data!"
The responsible bug who wanted to take credit for the work did not know that he did not get any credit, but was scolded by his boss. He had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.
"Will the boss not deduct my performance? Damn, it will affect my future!"
He felt sympathetic, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to drive the warships and drive at high speed along the violent void fluctuations.
There was no way, these latest Zerg warships had strong attacks and decent defenses, but the rest of the shipboard equipment was really rudimentary.
In addition to a set of garbage radar systems, there was no ultra-long-range detection equipment at all.
Not long after, the responsible bug reported the latest situation to Wilson again:
"Boss, we have arrived at the void wrinkle area and are observing it closely."
"In the center of this area, the protective light shield has been formed, covering a very large area."
"Based on the local intensity and radiation range of the void fluctuations, there should be a lot of warships making the jump, and the jump distance is relatively short."
Speaking of this, in order to save his performance, the worm in charge of the squad hurriedly continued to add:
"Based on our previous battle situation, this enemy may not be coming for us."
"The previous escort fleet is probably the vanguard responsible for scouting. Before encountering us, its main fleet had completed the jump preparation."
"Or the other main fleet hastily chose here for space jump under the circumstances of being forced to do so............."
Wilson also agreed with this after carefully checking the relevant exploration data:
"Well, isn't your brain quite good?"
Although the space jump distance of the jump engine is much farther than the space shuttle of the curvature engine, its shortcomings are also obvious.
The startup and cooling time are too long. Once the jump preparation is completed, it is a hassle to stop temporarily.
Sending vanguards to eliminate dangerous factors at the target point of the jump in advance is a necessary measure before the jump.
It is for this reason that the escort fleet will launch an attack without declaring war after discovering the Zerg recovery squad.
They may not want to destroy these 500 cruisers with strange shapes.
More likely, the other side just wants to engage in roaming entanglement or fire deterrence to drive away the Zerg squadron and prevent them from entering the jump zone of the main fleet.
Unfortunately, the commander of the other side misjudged the configuration and firepower of the Zerg warships.
In order to save costs, even normal communication equipment is omitted. The pioneer ship that directly uses the consciousness network instead of communication equipment cannot hear the warning of the other side at all.
And the ray towers raised by the Zerg warships can also lose a corresponding number of red-eyed barnacles as long as they are willing to extract nutrients from the fungal blanket.
Burst out a powerful firepower that exceeds that of ordinary large ship-borne main guns.
High-energy rays with almost no theoretical energy level limit, whether in range or power, even Liu Dan, a knowledgeable direct heir of the true god, is amazed by it.
What's more outrageous is that these little things, with the support of the fungal blanket, also have an unparalleled high rate of fire.
The red-eyed barnacles absorb nutrients, transform, gather energy and emit high-energy rays, which are all innate instincts.
Compared with the charging time of the battleship's main gun, the preparation time of the ray tower is almost negligible, coupled with the huge power of the battleship's main gun.
The unaware escort fleet was caught off guard, and one wave was crippled and two waves were completely wiped out.
Perhaps, the other commander did not react until his death, how could he be gone.
