the days before i bought the galaxy

12 hours after the breakout operation ended, the command tower of Hongdu——

"The current search and rescue work is basically over. Most of the 62 survivors found are fighter pilots, and they returned directly after the mothership was destroyed. The whereabouts of Commander Montgalt is still unknown. The damaged spacecraft has been proven so far. There are 47 ships in total, and four of the remaining six spaceships have been confirmed to have been severely damaged during the breakout process, one whereabouts is unknown, and only one spaceship has successfully escaped from the encirclement. The pirates have sent spaceships to pursue it, but it is still unknown whether they can really escape. This time, our side lost a total of 21 spaceships, including [-] medium-sized spaceships, twelve medium-sized warships on the pirate side, and the loss of small-sized warships is unknown. Considering that our side only has five warships, the rest are commercial wars with low combat effectiveness Dual-purpose ships or merchant ships, the actual casualty ratio is about one to two, and our side has a slight advantage. This is mainly due to the last suicide attack by Captain Montgalt. At present, we are still looking for survivors on the entire surface of the planet, but The chances of finding new survivors are extremely low."

Lan's report caused the atmosphere in the meeting room to freeze for a short time.

"Why did only one ship escape?" There was a pent-up anger in Warren's voice.

"There were loopholes in our original plan. Before that, we only considered the defense situation of the enemy spacecraft, and did not take into account their possible precautions against the breakout operation. According to the memories of the survivors, the pirates installed a large number of bombs outside the atmosphere of the Red Capital. Strong current capture net. This kind of capture net can reduce the speed of small spaceships by 80% in a short period of time, and ordinary medium-sized commercial ships will also be affected. It is precisely because of the existence of these capture nets that the last group of spaceships that break out Most of them were destroyed within 3 minutes after breaking out of the atmosphere, and did not realize the original combat intention of the pirates. In fact, if Captain Montgalt finally ordered the Walrus to self-destruct, disrupting the formation of the pirates, The only spaceship can't rush out."

The robot's analysis does not include any subjective component, and loopholes in the plan are the main reason for the high number of casualties.Warren pursed his lips and said nothing.

"This was my negligence." Odin said, "I didn't consider that the pirates would use such a method to prevent us from breaking out. We conducted an aircraft reconnaissance twelve hours before the start of the operation. In order to avoid the suspicion of the pirates, we did not No more reconnaissance. Since there were no capture nets at the time, I assumed that the pirates would only use their ships to patrol to prevent a breakout. But now it seems that the pirates are quite cunning and should have guessed our intentions from this reconnaissance activity . I am willing to take responsibility for that."

"No, now is not the time to pursue responsibility." Warren waved his hand to signal Odin to shut up, "Lan, continue to report. Which spaceship broke out? How is the situation?"

"It's the Xiaguang." Lan displayed the structure diagram of the Xiaguang on the big screen.

Warren is more familiar with this spaceship than anyone else.

"According to the memories of the survivors on the two spaceships in the same batch as the Xiaguang, the shield of the Xiaguang had collapsed before rushing out, and it was penetrated by the laser cannon of the enemy ship at about this position." Lan marked in the structure diagram a red line.

"Main antenna and engine room..." Warren felt a deep sense of desperation.

"The engine of the Xiaguang should not have suffered much damage, otherwise it would not be possible to continue to accelerate out of the encirclement. However, if the memory of the survivors is correct, the main antenna of the Xiaguang probably cannot be used. Contact Bethel. The possibility is close to zero. At present, it is difficult to determine whether the space folding engine located in the engine room can still work. Since the direction of Xiaguang’s breakthrough is facing away from Bethel, even if it can get rid of the pursuers and circle around to the nearest The developer's planet also needs more than seven days. The more likely situation is..." Lang paused, he was not sure whether to mention the event with the highest probability of occurrence.

Warren frowned, and he suddenly had a bad premonition: "What is the more likely situation?"

"Because the positioning system sensor located near the main antenna may also be destroyed, the most likely scenario is that after the Xiaguang escaped the pursuers, it could only wander in the universe, looking for a planet with people by luck. But maybe Charlie can Find the direction by feeling, after all, he is very familiar with this area."

Everyone is silent, and the possibility of finding the correct route in space without relying on technical means is extremely slim.

"So, this operation was a complete failure?" Warren said the words that lingered in everyone's mind.

"It can't be regarded as a complete failure." Lan said, "At least we destroyed twelve enemy warships, plus nine other warships that were severely damaged by our side that could not be repaired in a short time, and the two ships that went after the Xiaguang. , the enemy now only has 36 medium-sized warships to surround Hongdu. It is expected that their attack intensity on the protective shield will be reduced, and the protective shield may therefore last for 48 to [-] hours."

Warren frowned: "When is the latest you can hold on?"

"If it cannot be restarted, the protective shield over Hongdu will completely collapse by July 7th at the latest."

"There are still five days. What can I do with five days?" Warren's words were more like muttering to himself.

"Warren, I think the idea you told me last time can be tried." Odin said. "The ground forces are our only hope now."

Warren thought for a moment: "If you do that, how many spaceships do you think the pirates will send to the Red Capital after opening the shield?"

Warren's words surprised everyone except Odin, he actually planned to take the initiative to open the protective cover!Once the protection of the shield is lost, the entire Red City will be exposed to the pirates' artillery fire.

"If I were a pirate, I would not let the warship land rashly. The traps arranged by the enemy on the surface may bring danger to the warship. Long-distance attack is safe, but indiscriminate bombing is not allowed. All on this planet Money can be hidden everywhere, especially you, once they realize that you are in the control tower, the pirates will never fire half a laser in the direction of the control tower. This time has come to reap the benefits, I think they will send A large number of fighter jets, using the usual human sea tactics to clear all threats on the ground. After confirming that the situation is under control, let the warships land. Therefore, during the whole process, the warships outside the atmosphere should only play an auxiliary attack role. To tackle those fortresses that are difficult for fighter jets to conquer."

"In that case, we still have a chance..." Warren thought of the 5000-strong Clark German guard and tens of thousands of robot-controlled fighter jets in his hands.If both sides adopt crowd tactics in the ground battle, he is not much weaker than the pirate side. "Persist until July 7th. Before July 9th, I need all the mechanical engineers to go all out to make some improvements to our ground facilities. Then I will take the initiative to open the protective cover and let the pirates in. Three 7 minutes , we only need to persist for 9 minutes, and the shield can be restarted. Everyone, let us fight a beautiful ground battle!"

"I have an idea." Bogo said suddenly, "I can make all the Clarke stars huge."

"Giantization?" Warren thought of the giant crocodile that was transformed from the leader of the Clarkdians that he had seen a few years ago.

"Yes. Enormization is not a skill only possessed by leaders. With sufficient food, every Clarke can temporarily break through the size limit and grow to about five times its current size. After enlarging, we The strength, defense and sensitivity of the robot will increase, and it can even surpass the strengthened robot in terms of individual strength."

Warren frowned suspiciously: "But the situation I have seen seems to be less sensitive than humans!"

Although the giant crocodile had amazing defensive power back then, only the "Hand of Zeus", known as the strongest individual weapon, could injure him, but it was not very flexible in action.

"That was in the case of a second breakthrough. That kind of enlargement is irreversible, and the sensitivity will also decrease. The enlargement I am talking about is a breakthrough that can be changed back after losing weight." Bogo said, "This The difference between the two involves a lot of knowledge in the field of biology, and I can't explain it for a while."

"Okay, just do as you said! With the gigantic Clarke German guards, our chances of winning will be even greater! I will send people to distribute the food needed for gigantic." Bogo's suggestion made Warren confident greatly increased.

15 clarkde stars who are about [-] meters tall are definitely a nightmare for pirates!

"About the specifics of the July 7 operation, I will explain to you in three days. This time we will try our best to avoid any blind spots in our thinking! Alright, the meeting is over! Lan, you stay."

After everyone left the conference room, Lan sat upright in his original position.He was a little worried about Warren's mood.Although Warren seemed to regain his usual composure by the end of the meeting, he was rather down at the beginning.

"Blue..." Warren smiled at his robot, and his eyes suddenly lit up, making the robot think that he had really regained his fighting spirit.

"I plan to put protective shields on the periphery of all important buildings." Warren said, "Use the ones originally installed on the spacecraft as a basis, and amplify the power of the ground shields. Anyway, we have endless energy bricks." It doesn’t matter if you waste a little bit. Then open the spare protective cover. I want to show the pirates that even if one layer of shell is broken, there are still countless layers of shells waiting for them below!”

Lan was slightly surprised.Under normal circumstances, since there are always protective shields outside the colonized planet, various facilities on the planet generally do not have their own independent protective shields.Supply planets like Old Tavern are slightly different, where a giant shroud covers all the buildings instead of the entire planet.What Warren intends to do is to use the resources at hand to protect important buildings in layers.Although this idea cannot be said to be innovative, it is indeed a different approach. Each small independent protective cover, the outer layer is covered with a spare protective cover, and several layers can even be superimposed in the middle, which can indeed protect to the greatest extent. Hongdu.

"I will work hard to study the transformation method, and there should be results in 48 hours at the latest." Lan promised earnestly.

"Great." Warren smiled, looking a little tired.

"Warren, you need a good rest."

"No, I'm not tired yet." Warren rested his head on the back of his chair, his spirits still high despite not sleeping for 48 hours.He had never been so close to death, which made him unable to relax his tense nerves.

"Lan, come here, let me kiss you." He suddenly thought of a way to relax.

The robot immediately stood up and walked towards Warren, although he didn't understand why Warren asked him to do so.He bent down and brought his warm lips together, and he felt Warren's heartbeat through the touching skin.

The kiss was long and warm.Lan suddenly felt the need to learn something about kissing.

Warren fell asleep after the kiss.

Blue stood where he was until Warren woke up 12 minutes later, and joined him in the conference room.
