The next moment, the left and right sides of the two thousand olive-shaped armed ships opened their hatches at the same time, and a total of eight thousand cone-shaped aircraft about three hundred meters long were launched.
At the tail ends of these aircraft, a very thin stream of blue plasma is being sprayed backwards.
This is the QS-22 ultra-long-range stealth nuclear fusion missile based on the first-generation Qian missile and integrated with the supercritical high-speed, low-temperature plasma jet vector engine technology shared by the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The reason why it can become invisible is also because it uses a little less of the source star's human specialty - the invisibility coating from the fourth-class mother emperor ship.
In the command room, one after another war situation report from the Long-range Missile Operations Department continued to sound.
"Throner No. 1 activated."
"The acceleration is stable."
"Stealth coating activated."
"The reflectivity of the information flow is one-third of that of the conventional radar reference point, and the stealth is successful."
"Directional radio wave communication established, starting at full speed."
The slightly indifferent voice broadcast by the commander of the missile operations department finally came to an end.
Subsequently, these 8,000 QS-22 missiles, which cannot be displayed on the own information flow radar, will gradually accelerate to 0.27 times the speed of light, and after seven days, they will arrive at the Storm Assault Fleet, which is continuing to approach the armed commercial fleet.
The moment these stealth missiles are launched, it means that the humans of Source Star have launched an undeclared war against the three-thousand-year-old Storm Pirates.
The pocket formation composed of 800,000 eye ships began to shrink simultaneously and silently.
The armed merchant transport fleet still pretended to be unaware of the situation and moved forward steadily at 0.15 times the speed of light with a harmless attitude.
Five days later, following Ren Zhong's order, all eye ships simultaneously activated a continuous and stable information flow interference device developed based on the core organ of the Ascendants' special unit "Disorder".
The powerful interference bands formed one invisible spherical space after another, connected in series layer by layer.
At the same time, a lurking force composed of ten shuttle ships appeared behind many of the Storm Pirates' scout ships and simultaneously fired energy beam cannons and high-speed micro three-phase fusion missiles.
These reconnaissance ships immediately realized that they were under attack. While trying to get rid of the gunfire lock, they used information flow carriers to send out frantic warnings to the outside world.
A step too late.
There is an absolute generational gap in technology between the two sides, and Yuanxing Fang has a comprehensive advantage because of calculated calculations and unintentional calculations.
No message is sent.
The five hundred protruding minions of the Storm Pirates were annihilated silently, like grains of salt melted by the sea, without causing even a single ripple.
Deep in the flagship of the assault fleet, three middle-aged men were sitting around a round table. They were the rumored Three Sons of the Storm.
One of them is a tall man with a fleshy face and short brown hair. His name is Cali Claudy. It is said that his ancestors held the title of hereditary baronet, but he was later stripped of his title because he made a big mistake in the war.
The family was demoted to civilians. Then, seeing that the situation was not good, their ancestors simply took the family wealth and left the fiefdom in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, fled to the Broken Star Ring, became bandits, and built the Storm Pirates' predecessor, the Storm Base.
The other person has a thin face, a hawk-like look, narrow eyes, and shoulder-length hair. This person's name is Wu Moyou. He was once the owner of a small trading company in the cluster with two small merchant ships. He was stuck that year.
After Cali Crowdy's robbery, not only was he not killed, but he persuaded Cali Crowdy with his sharp tongue, joined the pirate group, and became the person in charge of planning and external contacts.
As the second in command.
The third person is of medium build, has a beard, and has an ordinary face. He has no fat on his body, and his movements reveal excellent body control. This person's name is Hou Sheng, and he was once the leader of the notorious Heavy Rain Pirates.
Hundreds of years ago, he was persuaded by Wu Moyou and recruited by Cali Crowdy to take the Storm Pirates and merge them into the Storm Base, allowing the Storm Pirates to fully take shape. Hou Sheng was a powerful man who had conquered the pirates as early as a thousand years ago.
He is already a super-level mecha warrior. He possesses a set of improved imperial sergeant armor that is about ten meters high and has additional enhancements in melee combat. It can be said that his record is shining. In the discussion of the good guys, Hou Sheng is even the entire Broken Star Ring Pirates.
Recognized as one of the top ten strongest men in the world. The reason why Cali Crowdy took the initiative to recruit him with sincerity was to make up for his shortcomings in high-level individual soldier combat capabilities despite his financial strategy.
disadvantages.
At this time, the three of them did not discuss the battle plan. Instead, they held a few cards in their hands and were playing cards to pass the time.
According to the think tank Wumoyou, the Source Star caravan has been locked anyway, and the assault fleet's speed of 0.2 times the speed of light has an absolute advantage. It doesn't matter whether the opponent can detect the danger or start to escape, it is meaningless.
In fact, the current Source Star commercial fleet has entered the "no escape zone" locked by the Storm Pirates, and everything is doomed.
When the time comes, all you need to do is swoop in and kill everyone on sight, and then focus on hunting down the short-term Earl Ren Zhong. After killing him, the Source Star caravan will collapse.
The strength of the two sides is completely disproportionate. There is no need for planning, and a fight will inevitably be a chaotic battle. As long as the assault ship's stronger weapon performance, armor performance, shield performance and stronger individual strength are all brought into play, a wave of A-flows will be achieved.
Just go up. Instead of working hard on unnecessary plans, it is better to maintain a relaxed attitude first, and at the same time think about how to develop quickly after completing the task and receiving in-depth support from the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, and then annex several companies near the base.
Competitors.
"A pair of points, you're better! Double! Hahahaha, wait for death!" Cali Crowdy grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and slapped the cards in his hand heavily on the alloy table, staring at Wu happily.
Mo You and Hou Sheng.
Wu Moyou shrugged and threw the cards in his hand back on the table. He didn't care that he had just lost 200 million contribution points. He only said: "The Fang Pirates suffered heavy losses some time ago and are now shrinking in an all-round way. The defense is very empty.
, is a good target. The Fang Pirates' asset reserves are comparable to ours, and they are unique in terms of metal resources. If we can take advantage of the opportunity, it will be of great benefit to us."
"It's difficult. According to the spies' reports, the Fang Pirates have realized that the situation is not good. They have already abandoned their base and the buildings are empty. If you want to find people out, you won't be able to do it for a while. At present, I am afraid that only the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion is available.
Only the Secret Service knows where the Fang people are hiding." Hou Sheng, who maintained a crouching horse stance, shook his head and said.
Throughout the game, Hou Sheng maintained the horse stance throughout the game. As the only front-line combatant among the Three Storm Sons, Hou Sheng's life-saving means were self-disciplined enough.
Cali Claudy smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the task is completed, the secret service director of Nanxiang Earl's Mansion will not only give me those positioning scanning devices. At that time, I will agree with him on a 30-70 split, and then ask
The movements of the fangs are natural and logical."
Hearing this, Wu Moyou and Hou Sheng looked happy and satisfied.
Next, the three of them continued to discuss matters such as how to allocate personnel after annexing the Fang Pirate Group, how to expand the territory, how to develop the Fang's territory, etc. while playing cards.
At this moment, a servant suddenly reported that the connection between the fleet and the Empire's super network node was interrupted for no reason, and the information relay point with the base also lost signal. The reconnaissance ship previously sent to track the Source Star commercial fleet also lost its signal.
They disappeared from the command chain almost at the same time, which seemed particularly strange.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, vaguely aware that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
After a moment, Hou Sheng shook his head and said doubtfully: "Actually, we have not completely lost contact with the outside world. We can still identify Yuan Xingbo's caravan in the information flow radar. If we try to send information to Yuan Xingbo, he will definitely be able to
receive."
"What do you think we should do, Lao Wu?" Kali Claudy asked.
Wu Moyou thought for a while and said, "The problem is not big. Maybe there is a deep information well phenomenon in this area. Once this matter is settled and we leave this area, we will naturally return to normal. I think this is a good thing. We cannot communicate with the outside world."
Most likely Uncle Yuan Xing won’t be able to contact us. If we were cleaner, we might not have to bear the charge of attacking the Imperial Earl, and we wouldn’t even have to find someone to take the blame.”
The other two people suddenly felt that Wu Moyou's analysis was very reasonable.
After a moment of small chaos, the storm fleet returned to peace.
Time passed little by little, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, on the radars of both the Source Star Commercial Transport Fleet and the Storm Assault Fleet, the distance between the two sides was very close. If they were traveling in opposite directions at the current speed, they would encounter each other head-on in a few days.
Kali Claudy smiled quite proudly and said: "The invisibility design I spent a lot of money to find someone to change a few days ago is really good. The distance is so close, Yuan Xingbo didn't react at all."
While making the final preparations before dispatch, Hou Sheng, who was already wearing armor and standing in the cockpit of the jumping ship on the side, said: "After all, Yuan Xingbo's foundation is still shallow. I guess he didn't have time to update it, so he still used the ones from the Trace Colony.
With outdated radar technology, it’s natural to be blind.”
"He deserves to be unlucky." Wu Moyou kept saying, "If I were him, I would rather give up Nanjiu C and float in space first. After passing the review, I will have dozens of galaxies in my hands. Even if I am an Anlebo,
It’s always much better than now.”
While the old god of the Three Sons of Storm was commenting on the "foolishness" of the heavy responsibility, the Source Star Commercial Transport Fleet was making intensive preparations.
The Long Range Missile Operations Department begins the countdown.
"The information flow reflectivity is about to exceed the enemy's conventional radar reference point. Twenty, nineteen...ten, nine, eight...three, two, one..."
Suddenly an alarm sounded in the Storm Assault Fleet.
The radar operator almost thought he was dazzled.
A second ago, his eyes were empty.
The next moment, dense spots of light suddenly appeared in the radar scan.
The speed of these light spots is as high as 0.28 times the speed of light, and will arrive at the assault fleet in ten minutes.
As time goes by, the spots become more and more numerous.
Five seconds later, the increase in light spots finally stopped, reaching exactly 8,000.
According to the calculations of the trajectory capture brain, the movement trajectories of these eight thousand light spots appear to be uniform, but in fact there are hidden patterns. They are rushing towards a thousand assault ships in groups of eight, and will arrive almost at the same time.
The automatically calculated information team immediately uploaded the information to Wu Moyou.
Wu Mo, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly turned pale.
At the same time, he also received more bad news.
The intelligence department responsible for tracking the enemy's movements suddenly told him that Yuan Xingbo's fleet disappeared out of thin air without any warning. This was completely contrary to common sense.
There is only one explanation, and that is that Yuan Xingbo's fleet has mastered ship stealth technology that far exceeds that of the Storm Pirates.
"All fleets release anti-guided target missiles! Quickly charge the anti-missile beam cannon! Launch the anti-missile curtain cannon!" Cali Crowdy rushed down to give the order, while turning to Umoyou and asked nervously: "
What’s going on?”
Wu Moyou shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know, I don't understand. Since Yuan Xingbo has mastered this stealth technology, his reconnaissance radar technology should not lag too far behind. We are probably under his nose from beginning to end.
under."
Hou Sheng, who had taken the lead in activating the bunker and breaking away from the assault ship, asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't he escape? Instead, he rushed straight towards us?"
Kali Crowdy and Umo looked at each other, and they both saw inexplicable fear in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the identities of hunter and prey were interchanged.
On the other end, Zheng Tian has already begun to issue orders, ordering the entire ship to release explosive information flow interference devices, completely cutting off the opponent's information flow communication, suppressing the enemy's intelligence brain computing power, while our own side switches radio communications and silicon chip intelligence brains.
Seven seconds later, the combat command system showed that this series of commands had been fully executed.
Zheng Tian ordered again: "The whole army attacks, speed up!"
The medium thrust engines and gravity engines of the two thousand improved armed warships that had been operating at 50% load for eight years were finally fully ignited, turned on afterburner, and operated at full load.
The armed battleship began to increase its speed from 0.15 times the speed of light and headed straight towards the storm assault fleet.
The shuttle ships led by Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling had already quietly approached the assault fleet to ambush them. They didn't even need optical equipment, and could be seen with the naked eye unfolding in advance to form a fleet group in a spoon-shaped battle formation.
The originally neat fleet group suddenly became chaotic.
One barrage cannon shell after another was fired out, forming a covering barrage in front of the fleet group.
One after another, small missiles with a large reflection area, trailing extremely conspicuous tail flames, and constantly releasing interference to the information flow were launched, crashing through the barrage cloud, and fired in the direction of the QS-22 missile.
go.
Then, the side of the bottle-shaped assault ship, which was small at the front and large at the back, began to spray medium one after another, and the ship began to move forward under the action of inertia while changing direction.
The Storm Assault Fleet did not seem to intend to confront the missiles of unknown origin and wanted to retreat.
Behind these bottle-shaped assault ships, huge force field shields were opened brazenly.
In the encrypted radio communication channel, Ma Xiaoling worried: "Will our missiles be blocked by these interception systems?"
Ren Zhong smiled and shook his head, "Impossible. The QS-22 missile has completely locked onto the enemy ship. Even without information flow scanning guidance and relying solely on positioning and inertial guidance, the hit rate is over 80%. What's more, we have also installed additional
Radio radar, although this technology is primitive, seems to have no radio jamming device at all and can only be locked tightly. As for these interceptor missiles, they are just useless gadgets. The final terminal assault speed of QS-22
It is 0.31 times the speed of light, which is much faster than interceptor missiles. As long as their beam cannon has no time to recharge, it will definitely hit."
Before Ren Zhong finished speaking, he saw a dense meteor shower coming from the sky.
The QS-22 missile group covered a long distance in a very short period of time, relying on the guidance of the front-end kinetic energy department to smash through force field shields one after another and smash into assault ships one after another.
In the blink of an eye, at least 6,000 of the 8,000 QS-22 missiles hit accurately and pierced into many assault ships. On average, each assault ship took at least two rounds.
But these missiles did not detonate immediately. Detonating the missiles was a matter for Ren Zhong and others lurking nearby.
