According to the mission description, this area is a key point in the legion's linear retreat area.
After an acceleration mileage of three light years, the legion fleet will enter the warp subspace passage in this area. This area is named the "jump window area".
Cleaning the jump window area is very important.
The location where Ma Xiaoling's transport ship went was exactly the shortest path away from the Ascended Expeditionary Force who came to pursue it.
This area, the legion's garrison, and the Ascended Expeditionary Force attacking from the front are all on the same straight line.
Although Ren Zhong gave the order not to retreat to Er Hei Bu, it is always right to make some preparations in advance.
The scientific research spacecraft must conduct on-site inspections of the space conditions in the area and destroy fine space meteorites that may be floating in place in advance.
For ships flying at ultra-high speeds, space meteorites are very dangerous.
Space dust with a diameter greater than 2.5 microns is considered a "meteorite".
Ships flying at high speed can use information flow radar to identify these "meteorites" in advance, and then turn slightly to avoid them.
If the ship's flying speed has not approached the speed of light, it can also be destroyed in advance with energy cannons to break obstacles.
But the faster the speed, the harder it is to turn, and the energy cannon's obstacle-breaking effectiveness will also drop significantly, because the energy cannon itself is a light-speed weapon.
If the meteorite distribution area is too large and the coverage area is larger than the maximum turning radius of a ship approaching infinite light speed, it will become very troublesome.
In the past many years, the Red Front Legion has already started the cleaning work of many passages. Now there is only a small jump window area left, and the final cleaning work will be completed simultaneously.
The strategic position of this shortest path is the most important. It is what Ren Zhong calls the "main passage", so it is reasonable for the Administration and Logistics Department to dispatch a giant transport ship from the center as a scientific research spacecraft.
At the end of other secondary alternative channels, there are also other scientific research ships going to do final cleanup.
No one knew that Ma Xiaoling's transport ship did not carry cleaning equipment such as micro-robots at all, but contained large, tightly sealed boxes with strong field shielding functions.
…
In the office of the dean of the School of Biology of the Chifeng Academy of Sciences, the white-haired Vittel Hatton was walking back and forth extremely uneasily.
As the project leader of the space dust virus, he completed his work many years ago.
But out of responsibility for his own work, and out of his inner desire to make achievements, Vettel Hatton paid attention to things beyond his authority.
He wanted to know how Ren Zhong planned to use these viruses and tried to give suggestions.
But his suggestions fell into disgrace, and he has not received any response until now.
Vettel Hatton's anxiety at this time is that because the space dust virus project falls under the highest confidentiality regulations, he cannot disclose related matters to others.
Similarly, he was not qualified to find out the relevant strategic plan, so he simply went into freezing sleep again.
He just woke up recently, but he checked his personal assistant and found no new important information. Many years have passed, and the Marquis still hasn't summoned him.
It was obvious that the Marquis had either forgotten about this or simply didn't want to talk to him.
This has become an obsession and trouble in Vettel Hatton's mind, lingering in his mind, lingering, and only causing pain.
He even felt that Ren Zhong was deliberately "hiding" from him because of this matter.
This is unreasonable.
Because in the past, Ren Zhong was very approachable, and if people below wanted to find him, they would usually not be turned away unless the reason was too ridiculous.
This is obviously not normal now.
But Vettel Hatton finally found the opportunity to interview Ren Zhong.
On this day, while he was in the active state, the routine genetic stability test of the biological planetary ship Shilin was handed over to him. He happened to see Ma Xiaoling sent away and stopped by to check on the situation.
Vettel Hatton has two ideas about how to use the space dust virus that he has accumulated through so much hard work.
Either distribute these viruses evenly outside the legion's station. The advantage of this is that no matter which direction the enemy appears from, they will be intercepted by the dust virus and will be significantly damaged.
But the average solution also has shortcomings. According to data simulation, if it is spread evenly, the concentration of the virus floating in space will be low. It will be difficult to cause a fatal blow to the first-class queen and the star war beast with powerful physiological functions. The lethality is only about
It is equivalent to a severe cold in humans.
There is no way around it. It is too difficult to create this kind of strange half-energy and half-material life. It can only be synthesized by biological means, and the output is very unstable. It cannot be manufactured in batches like chemicals.
With the Legion's current maximum productivity, it can only achieve this level.
If the stored viruses are accurately released into a small area, and the Expeditionary Force of the Ascended Ones crashes in, a large amount of dust viruses can sneak into the bodies of the Queen Mother Ship and the Starry Sky Behemoth at the same time, and then bloom in many places, rapidly bursting out and multiplying.
There is a great chance of causing fatal damage to it. Even if it fails to kill it in the end, if it is carried over, it can still be severely damaged.
But the problem is that it is difficult to determine the precise direction of the Ascended Expeditionary Force.
Vittel Hatton believes that if the second option is chosen, the best layout area is directly in front of the legion's station, which is the only way for the Ascended army to pass straight forward.
Probabilistically speaking, this is the optimal solution.
"Is this what you think, Mr. Hatton?" In an absolutely safe space without eavesdropping, Ren Zhong asked with a smile after listening to the other party's explanation.
Vettel: "Yes, Lord Marquis. We have paid a huge price to synthesize the dust virus, and we really cannot waste such a long inventory easily."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "According to the rules, since I have made it clear that I do not want to discuss this matter with you, but you still insist on it and even ask me again and again, which has seriously violated the relevant provisions of the Red Front Legion's highest management code. But I
I don’t intend to hold you accountable, and similarly, I don’t intend to let you know the truth. You just need to remember that you are a scientist, not a military strategist, and you have a professional expertise. Don’t use your hobbies to challenge other people’s majors.
Even if it is made by you, your professional field is only in making it. As for how to use it and how to use it, it is other people's business."
Vettel was stunned for a long time.
In fact, he also wanted to ask why he couldn't use a free jump method to drop it directly into the center of the Ascendant Expeditionary Force's formation, just like the special forces team dropped the gaseous planet when they killed the mother-imperial ship named Obsidian Gu Thorn.
But then he thought about it, maybe Ren Chongben had such an arrangement, and he really shouldn't ask.
But this was because Vettel was overthinking it, and Ren Zhong never considered repeating the same trick.
Sublimated people have a very strong learning ability and will not fall into the same pit twice.
Even if the Ascendants have not yet mastered the free-jumping technology, they can definitely identify the changes in the information flow projected from the subspace into the three-dimensional universe. Within a certain range, they can definitely predict the ships of the Red Front Legion in advance.
The time and place to leap out of the warp.
Therefore, the best way is to throw the original virus into the universe, wait and wait, and wait for the other party to hit you.
Ren Zhong knew that the Ascended Expeditionary Force would definitely appear from behind.
