Chapter 1286: Coming down again?

The actions of a large fleet are very slow and sluggish. Even with a quick and convenient jump, there are too many places that need to be coordinated and commanded each time.

Moreover, the movement of a large fleet cannot be hidden from anyone. The reconnaissance fleets of both sides that are now everywhere in the dark star field are already everywhere like mushrooms after rain. The agents of both sides are everywhere, watching how the fleet moves.

Considering the difficulty of large-scale deception operations, the actions of a large fleet are difficult to hide.

Forget the trouble. Every time a large fleet moves, it needs to detect the conditions of the jump target location in advance. Even if there is nothing in the dark star field, such as void creatures, wandering celestial bodies, etc., the fleet may suffer non-combat casualties if it jumps rashly. In addition, it is necessary to detect whether there is an enemy ambush at the jump target location.

The same was true when the Rotating Water Federation intercepted the Red Maple Republic Fleet before. The reconnaissance ship of the Red Maple Republic would jump over first to check. They found the fleet of the Rotating Water Federation and reported back to the main force. After that, the main force modified the jump position to avoid jumping directly into the face of the enemy.

This distance is definitely enough to adjust the formation calmly after the jump and collide with the enemy fleet.

The last ambush was successful mainly because small warships such as the Swan were hiding in the asteroid belt and could not be detected by radar, otherwise they would be covered by firepower before the fleet was released.

To use a very vivid metaphor, the fleet's action mode is like a small, agile and sharp-eyed mouse leading the way in a complex and dense tropical rainforest, while a huge and heavy-footed blind elephant follows closely behind.

The reconnaissance fleet discovered the Swan at the first time and saw the eye-catching four-leaf clover emblem on the wings of the Swan, so they initiated a communication with the Swan instead of firing two shots to help.

After a conversation to confirm the identity, the other party said that we can't make the decision on your matter, let's talk about it after the fleet arrives.

The reconnaissance fleet confirmed the safety of the surrounding area, and three of the warships jumped back.

After all, due to the limited communication situation, even though starships are flying all over the sky, with the current technical level, communication can only be achieved within a star system, and relay satellites cannot cover the entire area. The warship jump is only a dozen yars, which has long exceeded the communication range, so they can only drive back to report manually.

The location where the fleet hides before reaching the target location is confidential. Just like the jump of the Swan, the waypoints will be planned in advance and the jump will be made along a specific route.

In short, Alyssa needs to wait here for a while before the fleet comes.

After nearly half an hour, the first batch of warships of the main fleet jumped here, and then they jumped here one after another according to their respective formations.

The matter of the Swan was also reported layer by layer. It was while waiting that I saw these warships, each of which was several times larger than the Swan, lined up in a row, and the sense of oppression was really strong.

During the waiting time, the fleet sent seven or eight communications, and each time was basically to confirm the identity to ensure that it was not an enemy disguise.

Finally, after a lot of trouble, Alyssa was told that the matter was of great importance and that no remote communication could be used. She had to go to see the fleet commander in person.

So the Swan followed the route sent by the other party, shuttled among large and small ships, and finally found a particularly large starship.

The total length of this starship exceeded ten kilometers, and in terms of volume, it was almost 1.3 times that of an ordinary starship.

The 400mm caliber triple heavy gun on it can only be regarded as a secondary gun among secondary guns. The main weapon is a twin-mounted 980mm caliber giant gun and a triple-mounted railgun of unknown caliber.

This is also the biggest feature of this starship. It is not equipped with ion cannons used by most warships, that is, the so-called charged particle cannons, but widely uses railguns, which is one of the technology verification ships.

It is the first ship of the Morning Light class starship, the Morning Light. It was originally planned to build ten ships and allocate them to the ten strongest in the main fleet of the Swirling Water Federation.

But the commanders of other fleets were not happy. There are 22 fleets. Why can only 10 of them get such a big treasure?

After a lot of arguing, the Central Council finally made the decision.

Aren't you dissatisfied? Okay, then don't take any.

So only one Morning Light-class starship was built for technical verification, and all subsequent construction plans were cancelled...

——The enemy is on Capitol Hill.

However, as the largest, newest and strongest starship of the Swirling Federation, its combat effectiveness is unclear, but its defense is absolutely awesome, and it is the safest to use as a fleet flagship.

Because the docking channel is broken and there is no time to repair it during this period, Alyssa and Yinghu can only switch to the Manta shuttle after the Swan approaches the flagship to go to the fleet flagship and meet the commander-in-chief.

Of course, it was not Li Chengxi who was responsible for driving, but Hall. Li Chengxi was too lazy to do such tedious things.

When Alyssa and Yinghu got off the Manta, someone immediately went up to scan and check, confirmed that it was the real person through biological testing, and also scanned to see if there were any dangerous items.

Then they were led to the fleet command room during the period.

However, Li Chengxi didn't know what Alyssa and Yinghu said inside, because before entering the door, someone asked to confiscate all the magic machines, including the personal terminal on Alyssa's arm, and even the implants on her head were interfered with to ensure that the conversation in the command room would not be recorded or videotaped in any form.

The whole process was not long, lasting less than 20 minutes, and Yinghu did not stay. He followed Alyssa and the others boarded the Manta Ray and drove back to the Swan.

"Everyone listen to me."

Back on the bridge, Alyssa locked the door to the bridge and said to everyone:

"Next we will participate in the Meteor Operation. The main task is to escort Shadow Tiger and cooperate with friendly forces."

When Long heard this, the flickering halo in his crystal-like head turned twice.

She was actually not very willing to let Alyssa participate in this kind of frontal battle, and immediately said:

"What do you want to achieve specifically?"

Alyssa could hear what Long meant, nodded to her and said:

"It's called a cooperative operation, but in fact, friendly forces will do their best to cover us, and there are a total of six warships doing the same work as us. As long as one succeeds, the Meteor Operation will be half successful."

Everyone looked at Shadow Tiger, who pointed to his head and said:

"I have the key to restart the star gate in my head. In the next operation, you need to escort me to the star gate control terminal. The so-called Meteor Operation is mainly The goal is to recapture the Stargate."

"But I don't quite understand."

Carlos said:

"If it's just a transportation mission, there are many cruisers in the fleet that can do it, and it doesn't have to be the Swan."

"In fact, we have to act."

Alyssa added:

"The Stargate control terminal is in a gravity environment. The ship that was originally scheduled to pick up Shadow Tiger is a specially modified cruiser. Like the Swan, it can break through the atmosphere and perform fire cover missions during the landing operation. But now it has a problem, and one ship is missing, so we are the only ones who can make up for the shortage."

Again, another landing?
