Chapter 1809 A watertight layout
Of course, Feifei's doubts were not completely groundless.
After all, Yu Lian’s cheap nephew was personally recruited by Brunhild, and he is still a retainer of the Suliuka royal family. And it is obvious that the former pirate king was not the leader, if not the leader, of this combat operation to intercept the Pilgrimage.
, but it must also have played a major role in guiding the party.
Gong Ao even used all his connections in the underworld, which is really a true performance.
Of course, Yu Lian could not help but think of that dream world line. He could understand the geography of the Abyss Nebula through the history there, and Brunhilt could certainly do the same. Even if it was not as detailed as his own, it was enough for setting up an ambush.
Well... even without that unspeakable dream world line, the war has developed to this point after all, and everything is optional.
But, what can he do? Since he has been forced into the Abyss Nebula by the surveillance network deployed by the empire in advance on the Cloud Tower Trail, of course he has no choice but to take a step through the Abyss Nebula.
Well, if the gamble fails, then you have to accept the reality. A true brave man cannot give up on himself because of a little inconvenience in reality.
Not even a qualified adult, because you don't even have the qualifications to give up on yourself.
"That's it for now, let's eat first... let's take a rest first. Navigator, is the jump channel still there?" Yu Lian gave a tactical instruction.
The Pilgrim has a genuine navigator, who is not a psyker but an experienced old technical officer. If he is simply the administrator of the jump engine and the surveyor of space parameters, he has done a very good job.
"It has collapsed." He answered immediately.
"Then you can relax a little. Captain Nemo, you make the arrangements." Yu Lian continued to issue tactical instructions in Feifei's sight.
No one dares to say that this order is wrong. After all, we have just barely escaped from the enemy's dragnet and gone through a dangerous jump that is comparable to a roller coaster. Everyone needs to stabilize their spirits and check the status of the ship.
Since it is time to take a break, it is natural to consider a stable and safe standby environment as much as possible.
After preliminary exploration, the observer began to report: "It is determined that the galaxy has a stable gas giant planet with a structure, and one of the satellites has a mass of two-thirds of Mars."
To have such a stable planetary structure in a galaxy in its twilight years is already a miracle of astrophysics. Of course, the universe is so big that more miracles are acceptable.
Besides, if it were really true, wouldn't the birth of those naturally habitable planets be quite a miracle?
The captain nodded slightly and started step by step: "Enter the central planetary orbit clockwise to avoid."
This is of course to avoid excessive cosmic radiation. As long as you hide on the back of a huge planet, the huge size can become a natural protective umbrella. In addition, if you can collect some supplies from it, it is equivalent to winning the jackpot.
.
Of course, the supplies on the Pilgrim are still far above the safety line, but there is never too little of this kind of stuff.
Of course, no one can expect to obtain natural water or food from such a galaxy, but collecting even a small amount of usable energy would be considered a successful harvest.
An hour later, the Xunlin entered the orbit of this giant planet painted yellow with purple markings without any danger. Of course, the ship's body was affected by a little gravity, but it was completely within control. And preliminary detection showed that
, there shouldn’t be any giant star-eating monster hiding inside this big planet, so it should be safe.
The cosmic radiation has finally dropped to normal values. Although it is only the critical point of normal values, it is like a suspected patient with a fasting blood sugar of 0, who can still convince himself that he is a healthy person and can try to drink ice.
.
In addition, it cannot be ruled out that there are micro-rays here that have not been discovered by existing technology and databases, but at this point, everyone no longer cares about this small situation.
The Pilgrimage finally got a short rest. The crew members began to take turns eating and resting. The damage control department also put on engineering power armor and started external operations with the installation and towing attached.
As for Long... there was a little commotion when he was under siege, but Feifei just called "Xu~~~" and calmed down.
After all, they didn't get beaten this time. Isn't that gratifying?
In addition, what is even more worthy of celebration is that everyone actually discovered the polar ice cap on the satellite that is suspected to be two-thirds of the mass of Mars. Preliminary detection does not contain harmful substances.
Come on, you hit the jackpot. If it is on a normal shipping route, this satellite can already be regarded as a terraformable planet. It is enough to get at least an eight-digit letter star from the Standard Shipping Association, and it can be exchanged for a minimum of 100 from the Empire.
citizen family.
Of course, the soldiers can rest and recuperate, but Yu Lian cannot. As a leader, he must choose a way out for everyone.
This is actually a good thing, at least you don't have to pay the public rations after you are exhausted.
In front of everyone, Yu Lian opened the star map again, drew a circle on the possible galaxy, and moved his fingers around the border of the empire and the border of the nebula.
"Perhaps we can enter the country from near Sarna," he thought.
"There is also a waterway there?" Feifei asked doubtfully, and then nodded slightly: "Indeed, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Count Salvin was also a border lord before."
This is hard to say. You must know that the Jijiang Sector is, after all, an imperial frontier to guard against the Galactic Looters. Almost all the princes here can be regarded as border lords. Even the soldiers under the Zhechong Mansion here are
The most ferocious.
However, when it comes to Count Salvin, their ancestors actually started out as pirates and interstellar trade, and they didn't have much dealings with predators.
However, the huge secret laboratories and underground factories on the Sarna planet are really beyond the standards. Without stable smuggling channels, it is difficult to imagine that Count Salvin could bypass the empire's surveillance and establish all that.
More importantly, he is the head of a snake. No matter how loose and free the structure of the snake is, there are still team-building activities after all. Count Sa must have a channel that can help him go abroad at any time.
Yu Lian explained it this way and was naturally recognized by everyone.
However, this time it was not Feifei and Captain Nemo who raised doubts, but Colonel Singer, who was completely obedient.
"Well, Your Excellency, actually...when the communication was restored just now, I briefly contacted my colleagues on Earth."
"Oh, the commission's headquarters didn't escape?" Annie laughed.
Ever since he learned that Colonel Singer was the one who commanded the command, he has always been at the bottom of the chain of contempt of the command, and he was often criticized by his colleagues. Fortunately, as a veteran in intelligence work, his spirit has been tempered and his mood is as stable as a mountain.
, almost to the point of losing his temper. In response to Miss Romanova's ridicule, he just smiled innocently.
If he weren't wearing a military uniform, this guy would look more like a well-trained Indian butler.
"Actually, we have already run away, all the way to New Chang'an. Now we are preparing to evacuate in the direction of Cantilever. We really have plans to evacuate all the way to New China."
"You have really abandoned your superiors again," Anne said.
"Lieutenant Colonel, how can this be considered abandonment? After all, we are also an intelligence agency under the National Defense Commission. Now the leaders cannot directly carry out leadership work. Of course, those of us who are doing grassroots information work must also consider the way out. This
You are also responsible for the country."
"Well... I wish you good luck." In terms of eloquence, Anne was certainly no match for an intelligence agent. Apart from blessing her, she really didn't know how to answer the question.
Colonel Singer said: "Then we received news from the Cantilever. Vice Admiral Yeager Soback's fleet has passed through New Tennessee and entered the Cantilever sector. The Cantilever strike fleet tried to fight, but the entire army was annihilated.
New Paris is resisting, but the most optimistic estimate is that it can only hold on for another 43 hours."
There was a brief moment of silence.
Feifei looked at Yu Lian even more worriedly. Perhaps she was the only one present who knew that the Cantilever Strike Fleet was Yu Lian's late mother's old unit, and New Paris was Yu Lian's "hometown" in a sense - although he was just
I lived there for less than two years before I was 4 years old.
Fortunately, Yu Lian just sighed hastily.
The cantilever strike fleet was established to prevent predators from entering the country, but after the Condemnation War, funds and resources began to tilt. After the war broke out, a large number of veterans and cutting-edge ships in the fleet were of course transferred to the far coast and incorporated into the fleet.
Under the command of the Said Cluster. The current fleet is only a skeleton, and in terms of military strength, it may not be as good as the Solar System Fleet after the second reconstruction.
However, they resisted tenaciously after all.
As for New Paris, it was able to resist for more than a day without the fleet to cover low-Earth orbit, and it was able to leave its name in the history of space warfare.
So far, no inhabited planet in the Community can survive for more than 4 hours.
However, even Yu Lian would never dare to expect that planet to turn into another Yaochi.
Check out the correct version one by one!
"I hope that after the fall of New Paris, there will be no revenge from the empire." Someone said worriedly.
Feifei said: "This is unlikely. Lieutenant General Yeager Soback cannot do such a thing."
As she spoke, she looked at Yu Lian with comforting eyes. Rather than believing in Sobek, she believed in the "old enemy" recognized by Yu Lian.
Of course, her belief is not wrong. Yu Lian can no longer say what Soback's abilities are, but his character is actually trustworthy. The "good friend of the people of the earth" in the previous timeline
"On the one hand, it's because he serves as a transportation captain for the Volunteer Army, and on the other hand, it's because he really doesn't have any evil deeds.
If we exclude the minor shortcomings that are not worth mentioning, such as being a little worldly, a little indolent, a little foody, and lazy in doing things, he can actually be regarded as a perfect knight model in all aspects.
If there were no position issues, Yu Lian would actually be quite happy to make such a fair-weather friend.
However, there is no time now to ponder Sobek's knightly example, nor to mourn the bravery of his comrades. The problem now is that once the Imperial fleet enters New Paris, this means that the waterway in the Cantilever sector has been blocked.
Yu Lian's plan to travel from the galactic center to the cantilever and then to the far shore back to New China went bankrupt again.
"Colonel Singer, try to get in touch with your colleagues again. I hope to get an update on the cantilever at any time. In addition, we must ensure the location of the new Independence."
It wasn't just the remaining companies that were blocked? Of course, there was also the Independence, which escaped before the Imperial Army arrived on Earth. Considering the physical distance, the impact on them was greater.
"My subordinate, I will do my best." Colonel Singh looked flattered. After all, this is the first time that the Commander has issued a direct order to him. Doesn't this mean that he is still quite important?
"It's her style to be so watertight?" Feifei looked at Yu Lian.
She was almost certain that this transfer was also done by Brünnhilt. Considering that Lieutenant General Yeager Soback was already a disciple of King Sulyuka, this was not surprising.
Before Yu Lian could answer, Feifei said again: "Well, if we simply regard her as an aggressive and fierce general, wouldn't that naive person become me? People who play strategy have a dirty heart, be it an orange cat or a fox.
No matter what, they are all duplicitous monsters with bad intentions. They can be used to make fusion warheads."
Yu Lian smiled bitterly in his heart.
Orange Cat is of course a strategist, and is even the leading military genius of this generation, with a natural talent for fighting. However, in another timeline, she was indeed more like an invincible overlord in her youth, truly demonstrating a far-sighted strategy.
The level is already after the age of thirty.
...Well, it seems that the orange cat has also been strengthened. Isn’t this also my fault?
"What now?" Anne asked.
"Actually, there is another way, but you won't choose it unless you have to." Feifei looked at Yu Lian with bright eyes and a calm expression.
Yu Lian nodded slightly.
Of course Feifei was talking about the escape road that Lao Tan and the Helot rebels took with their lives. Even a green spaceship made of ice could travel along the way, let alone the majestic Dragon Boat Parade.
The end of this escape road is the Sanchi Star Territory and the Cirke Kingdom. Although the latter has been conquered by the Imperial Army, it is still essentially a "chaotic situation" ruled by warlords, so there is plenty of room for maneuver. As long as you avoid the Empire
Once the main force of the army has occupied Chero to the front line of Katun, they can escape all the way to the vicinity of Femo.
By then, it doesn't matter even if they are discovered by Feimo's imperial fleet. The channel of the Spiral Cross Nebula is still very wide. As long as they run straight to Canchuan and escape into the Alliance's territory, everyone will be safe.
Yu Lian felt that he still had some popularity in the alliance. Even if he didn't have these, for the sake of Dragon Boat, profiteers in the alliance would definitely provide him with protection.
However, this would mean that he would be far away from this war. This was definitely not what he wanted.
Before Yu Lian made a decision, Feifei said: "Now that the matter is over, let's seize the time to rest. Rest as much as possible when you can. I have a hunch that we are not out of danger yet."
Indeed, although the channel has collapsed, it does not mean that it will not open again. In this ever-changing starry sky, no one can guarantee this, including Yu Lian.
The Pilgrim can hide in this galaxy, and so can the Imperials.
Therefore, after the Patrol left the space channel, the captain ordered a large row of flashing mines to be dropped near the original airspace, and the induction device and remote control device were installed.
Yu Liandao: "Captain, the entire ship will rest for four hours. During this period, if the collapsed gravity well is found to be expanding again, the mine will be activated immediately three minutes after the space channel is formed!"
Captain Nemo looked at the commander and showed a knowing smile.
Their judgment is certainly correct.
Chapter completed!
