Chapter 353 Interstellar Alliance? Or...
Inside the "Gray Man" flagship.
A crisp reminder sounded in the dark red cabin.
"Oh? Changed the driving direction?"
A "little gray man" looked at the monitor in front of him and sneered: "Is this the same old trick again?"
It raised its weak arm and swiped a few times on the screen.
The first group of detectors were divided into two groups.
The first group maintained the original direction of travel.
The second group headed towards the direction where the signal came from.
…
Lu Yongchang sat in the command center, looking at the unchanged holographic image, and frowned slightly.
It has been a year since the detector was captured.
During this year, everything was calm.
Not only was there no unknown advanced civilization coming, even the detector captured in Xuannv 2 did not send any abnormal signals.
to be honest.
If it weren't for the over-distance communication device in the zero-certainty detector that was still in working condition, Lu Yongchang even suspected that he had been fighting against the air this year!
Looking at the Gliese 555 star system in the star map that was getting further and further away from the fleet, he sighed deeply.
"I don't know where the other party is now..." A trace of worry flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
At first, Lu Yongchang wanted to detect the location of the opponent's civilization through the captured detector.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
The other party's level of caution far exceeded his imagination.
Even if the invasion had all the permissions for the probe, Zero was still unable to obtain any intel on the enemy fleet.
This year, mankind has been fully prepared for battle.
but!
Until now, Lu Yongchang couldn't be sure where the first attack would come from. He couldn't even be sure when the attack would come!
This faint sense of panic that lingers in my heart is undoubtedly the most tormenting.
It will continuously wear down the soldiers' mentality and fighting will.
In addition, there is a more important issue.
energy!
The entire fleet consumes an extremely large amount of energy every time it accelerates, decelerates, and turns.
Although the human fleet's inter-star system navigation technology is relatively mature, its energy reserves are relatively abundant.
But procrastinating like this is not an option!
Lu Yongchang glanced at Zhao Zijie, who had a gloomy face on the side, and shook his head lightly.
"Zijie, you have to adapt to this situation."
"The time span of interstellar war must be far beyond your imagination."
"As the strategic commander of the fleet, you cannot show such impatience."
Hearing this, Zhao Zijie's expression changed slightly.
Thinking of the possible negative consequences, Zhao Zijie couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He quickly adjusted his sitting posture and adjusted the gloomy look on his face.
Then, he said solemnly: "Professor, I understand."
Lu Yongchang glanced at Zhao Zijie's sitting posture and expression, and nodded with satisfaction.
Before he could speak, a piercing alarm sounded.
Lu Yongchang's expression moved slightly, and he quickly turned to look at the holographic projection.
When he saw the holographic image with red light flashing around it, instead of panic, his face was filled with relief and relief!
It’s finally here!
"Attention everyone!"
Lu Yongchang reached out to open the microphone in front of him and shouted in a deep voice: "Get ready for the first contact!"
…
"Gray Man" fleet.
Having experienced countless large and small interstellar wars, the "Little Grays" have an extremely deep understanding of the role of flagships.
A gentleman should never stand behind a dangerous wall. This saying also applies to flagships.
But correspondingly, every time the flagship goes into battle, it means that the battle situation has entered a critical node.
Either about to win or face defeat.
Under the control of the "Little Grays", the huge flagship had already broken away from the curvature navigation state.
At this moment, they are less than 0.01 light-years away from the signal source.
What they need to do is wait quietly for the reports from the two sets of detectors.
Once the location of the opposing civilization's starship is confirmed, the "Gray" fleet will swarm in!
As for the role of the flagship...
In the eyes of these "little gray men", it is just an insurance to protect themselves against unexpected situations.
After all, how can a mere second-level civilization resist their fleet?
Thinking of this, the "little gray man" headed by the command center showed an extremely twisted smile on his face.
…
[Earth] Command Center.
In the holographic projection with red light flashing, there is Xuannv No. 1.
Xuannv No. 1 does not contain any detectors captured by humans.
On the contrary, it is only loaded with complete full-band detection equipment and a huge number of plasma bombs.
Under Zero's operation, the detector that continuously sent signals successfully transmitted false information to the other civilization.
Logically speaking, if the plan is successful, you should be happy.
But looking at the data returned by the full-band detection equipment, Lu Yongchang's expression was particularly solemn.
His brows were furrowed, and there wasn't even a trace of a smile on his face.
"The maximum sailing speed is 35% of the speed of light..."
He murmured to himself: "It's troublesome..."
Such a high sailing speed not only means that human civilization cannot escape in front of it, but also means that the technology of the other civilization is far more advanced than humans!
And the pictures in the holographic projection confirm the former.
In the camera of Xuannv No. 1, hundreds of detectors with a size of only a few meters easily caught up with it.
Lv Yongchang moved his fingers slightly and wrote down several key information.
Hall propulsion device, 35% of the speed of light...
As the detector kept approaching, he suddenly froze.
"This..."
"How could this happen?"
Lv Yongchang's eyes were full of doubts, and he muttered to himself.
Not only Lv Yongchang, but everyone in the command center also exclaimed a few times.
The reason is simple.
These high-speed detectors have different styles!
Spherical, square, and even butterfly-shaped...
It can be called the scene of the interstellar spacecraft appearance design award!
However, these detectors of different shapes have a common feature-all the detectors look shabby on the surface!
He even found that there was a huge black pit on the surface of a butterfly-shaped detector.
It was like... being bombarded by kinetic weapons!
"They... just finished a war?" Lv Yongchang swallowed his saliva and murmured in a low voice.
"There is a certain possibility." Fang Xu took over Lu Yongchang's words, "Perhaps, the other party belongs to an interstellar alliance organization."
Lu Yongchang silently watched the detector getting closer and closer to Xuannv No. 1, and the doubts in his eyes were so thick that they seemed to overflow!
Interstellar Alliance?
Although [Hua] once said that the Dark Forest is not the only law of civilization in the universe.
But... even if he saw this hodgepodge of pictures with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it.
There were no less than 20 styles just from what he saw!
When did the alliance between multiple civilizations become so simple?
