People's Federation will live forever

Irena laughed. No one knew that a transcendent existence had quietly left the Tiancang galaxy. Similarly, no one knew right now that there was a hand heavily on the Tiancang galaxy coordinates on the star map.

"Here is the place where the outcome of this war is decided. Taking it down is equivalent to cutting off the main artery of the People's Federation!"

PS: There are still 11 days until November, which is the countdown to the end of this volume.

Chapter [268] Unexpected encounter (today's first update)

"An abnormal gravitational signal that does not conform to the predetermined position has been detected."

In the space station of the Space Administration, today's person in charge is surrounded by a sea of ​​data, with his brows tightly furrowed, he flicks one report after another holographic projection display in front of him with both hands.All the files with abnormal values ​​detected are collected into one module, a holographic star map that completely simulates the astronomical environment of the Tiancang galaxy, and multiple signals from different directions appear like waves of water.

Impact point engine... This is the prelude signal that the wormhole is opened.Wherever you walk, there must be traces. The most effective observation in the universe is undoubtedly gravitational waves, among which the formation of wormholes is the most eye-catching.The wormhole birth signals that are continuously released are of a gradually upward wavelength, and what makes the person in charge frown is that these signals are displayed in all directions of the Tiancang galaxy, which means that there are wormholes being formed everywhere around the information!

"Fleet Defense Command, this is the Space Observation Center, we have detected a large-scale invasion signal, repeat, a large-scale invasion signal!"

The Tiancang Galaxy Fleet Defense Command is located next to the Stargate in the Ring of Stars.Just like the Eternal City once, this is an interstellar fortress built entirely by man-made. It presents a hexagonal diamond-shaped polyhedron, and the middle part is a ring-shaped structure. At this time, starships start from the middle. Turned off the engine and slowly left the port.

"This is the Fleet Defense Command, hereby declaring that this galaxy has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. All combatants cancel all rest and return to their posts. Non-combatants immediately retreat to the third defense center. Repeat, this is not a drill. This galaxy has been attacked. Attack, this place is about to become a battlefield!"

Red alarms were sounded in each of the United Nations facilities, and a large number of engineering ships operating in deep space began to turn around, and those ships that had just completed the superluminal jump, entered the Tiancang galaxy and were still undergoing inspections were also evacuated. .The 0.6 astronomical unit between Tiancang-100 and the stars is the core of the People's Federation's operations here. At one time, nearly [-] ships were approaching the star gate, and similarly, there were even more Many aircraft are heading in the opposite direction to these civilian ships.

"The commander has arrived at the command center!"

The automatic door opened, and stepped into the room with light and shadows with heavy steps. A tall and thin figure appeared at the gate. Two heavy infantry guards at the gate stood at attention and saluted with guns, while the fleet soldiers in black in the room They also bowed solemnly towards this person.Although the red light of the first-level combat readiness is still flashing, the command center is quiet, and there is no panic.The soldiers were full of confidence, looked at the comer with sincere eyes, and called out.

"Commander Nankitazawa!"

The person who came was Renlian Lieutenant General Nanbei Ze, who was also the first person to receive the Star Medal, a living legend.Our general looks much better after five months of revisions, although he now has a lot of extra prosthetic parts, including a pair of eyes that always glow blue, and a whole set of weapons buried under that body Energy Transformation Device - It is reported that after two years of being with the same ship completely damaged the general's body and caused irreversible damage, the current lieutenant general will never need food and drink, because he lost his entire digestive system and replaced it with artificial Body circulation device, become a person who can maintain life with infusion.

And all this made the soldiers of the United Fleet respect him even more.The lieutenant general is still thin, and the fleet coat that fits his body makes his already thin figure even more slender. The short bearded chin is half buried under the collar, and the blue fluorescent eyes , considering that the eyelids are also artificial, it seems that they are never ready to close.The lieutenant general used to be a very energetic person, but looking at it now, the commander exudes an aura as stable as a boulder.

"Relax, Chief of Staff, I need a briefing and the overall situation. Communications Officer, send a report to the Fleet Headquarters of Syra, the Fleet Headquarters of the Special Zone, and Commander Olivia. We need to confirm that the enemy's attack is from Where did it come from?"

The lieutenant general opened his mouth slightly, but his voice was a flat electronic sound.In the past, General Namkitazawa was a very enthusiastic person, but perhaps because of two years of experience, now he thinks more, talks less, and never has emotional fluctuations.He came to the holographic stage, and the chief of staff immediately reported the situation.

People's Federation has a complete monitoring network in the entire Tiancang galaxy, which is composed of 12 passive detectors and 200 nuclear energy relay stations. There are no blind spots in the entire network.As the center of the galaxy, the Tiancang [-] universe and the intelligence analysis systems of the four space administrations detected a total of more than [-] wormhole signals, which means that more than [-] ships are about to make a transition.

This is definitely the number of a main fleet, but the sources of the signals are divided into three groups, from three quadrants, and they happen in the middle ring of the galaxy.

"The early warning and reconnaissance fleet has begun approaching for reconnaissance."

Three ships, three groups and three teams, the scouting fleet composed of 27 Thunder-class ships has already started to move and headed for the area where the wormhole was generated.The battle alarm sounded, the fleet stationed in this galaxy had already left the port and was gathering in the central space domain, and the front-line commander sent a communication, and a temporary combat meeting was held in the communication.The attack was startling, but fundamentally, it was an inevitable battle.

"The number is so large, and they are coming fiercely - they have seen that the main fleet of our army is now in the solar system, and the defense force is the weakest."

Some stable captains made suggestions first. In the past few months, they have done countless deduction.

"The enemy attacked from three directions. According to the plan, we should use the defense system as the fulcrum, and the garrison fleet will be on standby as a mobile force. After the defense is strengthened, they will not be able to break through the defense line..."

"Please forgive me, but I don't think this is the right direction. What we are facing is not a battle between fleets. Maybe our goal is to destroy the enemy, but it is not for our enemy." Objections followed. Come, and it seems urgent, "Don't forget, their fundamental goal is the star gate! The star gate can't move, and they don't even need to enter the range, as long as they calculate the trajectory and conduct ultra-long-range bombardment, they can pose a huge threat! Based on this goal , if I were the enemy's commander, I would not hesitate to wipe out the entire fleet!"

The radical captain immediately made a suggestion to General Minami Kitazawa: "Commander, the enemy forces are attacking from three places, and they are not unified with each other. We should take the initiative to attack and defeat them before they gain a firm foothold!"

The former leader of the Pioneer Fleet and the most experienced general of the People's Federation heard these suggestions, and he also carefully watched the wormhole signals that were constantly marked on the star map.The joint meeting of captains is a manifestation of the military democracy of the People's Federation, but democracy does not mean voting on how to fight. Every captain has a say, but the final decision still needs to be made by the supreme commander.

"Return the scout fleet back."

Then, General Nankitazawa issued another order that the aggressive commander found difficult to understand.

"The garrison fleet, don't move."

The commander of the People's Federation stared at the star map, as if he could see through reality through this map.Regardless of what the captains at the scene thought, the loyal AI immediately dispatched the reconnaissance fleet that had just stepped forward and was about to take a mass effect flight to make a big roundabout and return to the core star field. There was no alarm of battle, nothing happened.

And in the data center of the space monitoring network, the index of the gravitational wave rises in a straight line!And at an extreme time, the upper limit of the opening is approaching-the gravitational index is infinitely close to the peak value, and it is conceivable that hundreds of wormholes will be formed immediately, and then sturdy battleships will drive out from the middle...

However, most of the values ​​are for this purpose, and suddenly collapsed after the moment the distance was formed, and the annihilated singularity released wave after wave of turbulent gravitational tides!It's like a huge wave that didn't wash up on the embankment and fell back, completely breaking the calm of the water surface and causing the frenzied currents to agitate each other, forming countless turbulent currents that flood the gravity sensor of Renlian!

No large-scale enemy ships appeared in the space domain—but this is not complete. Most of the gravitational waves caused by the failure of wormholes were mixed with a very small number of individual ships that successfully entered the Tiancang galaxy.As soon as these ships entered the galaxy, they started their engines and took action. They appeared at least one astronomical unit away from Tiancang [-] where the star gate is located. This is an extremely dangerous distance for these ships, and they kept their eyes open. Looking around, concerned about whether there is a "blue light of death".

Human League ships have a super-light speed method called mass effect flight. Unlike the impact point engine, which requires a long warm-up, the distance of one astronomical unit is instantaneous for them, which makes the Human League always occupy the space in the battle. Tactical maneuver advantage - but this is the purpose of myself and others doing this. They risk their lives, and the greatest value is to see the shining blue light.

"The People's Federation Fleet has no action, repeat, the People's Federation Fleet has not been detected, they are not deceived by the bait!"

After a brief silence, a silent voice sounded in the communication: "Plan [-] fails, immediately switch to Plan [-]."

"Obey, General! In order to win, our ship will continue to provide guidance for the follow-up troops!"

This is a great effort to create the illusion of a large-scale transition in the Tian Cang galaxy.Our enemy knows Renlian very well, especially Renlian's extremely fast response speed. If the bait is successful and the local mobile force of Renlian is drawn out of the defense zone, then the combat will have a great surprise effect.

Of course, it is also possible that the commander of the People's Federation behaved conservatively and refused to take risks.This is quite strange. The People's Federation Fleet has always believed in the doctrine of offense, and the continuous victories have made this army more and more radical. It seems weird like it is now.It is not ruled out that the commander of the People's Federation has seen his plan, but...

"Since they handed over the initiative to me, so be it."

In a remote place, Admiral Matthew Bunker, wearing protective clothing, stood beside the astrolabe with his subordinates on the bridge of his Moby Dick.

"The People's Federation has occupied this place for too long, and they regard it as their own home...Tell them with actions that the real owner of this place is back."

Chapter [269] The Republican Army Attacks (Today's Second Update)

In the vast universe and vast galaxies, it has always been a fool's dream to completely block it.

In the headquarters of the People's Federation, General Nanbeizawa, who had issued the "do not move" order not long ago, still had that calm expression, but his subordinates were not very calm.Nothing happened to the enemy's large-scale wormhole excitation, which made the radical commanders speechless. They didn't understand how the enemy did it, and they also didn't understand why General Namkitazawa was able to see through it.

"The enemy has no such tactical precedent..."

"It's just that you didn't encounter it, and it wasn't written into the textbook."

The lieutenant general doesn't seem to mind explaining a little bit more. Through the surveillance network of the People's Federation, those "pioneer" ships that have successfully jumped over are heading towards the Tiancang II space at a very fast speed, and they are beginning to destroy the surveillance network of the People's Federation along the way. Equipment, this behavior provoked the nerves of the People's Alliance soldiers, but General Namkitazawa didn't even look at these ships.

"It's not difficult to do all this. You only need to find a batch of civilian ships to simulate. It's very simple, but it's also very effective. Using this bait, Matthew Bunker sank four of my ships, which is the most dangerous of the Herald Fleet So when I saw this scene, I remembered that time, but his movements were a bit too obvious, too deliberate, and..."

General Namkitazawa blinked his eyes. Blinking is not necessary for the prosthetic eyes of General Namkitazawa. It seems that the general wants to understand something.

"Everyone, don't you think that the opening of this battle is very similar to the Battle of Sira."

Whether it is the soldiers in the command center or the captains of the fleet, no one present has experienced the Battle of Sira, but they have all studied it.Nanbei Ze was not the person involved, but he thought about it and said: "By continuously releasing bait and deceptive deployment, he tried his best to divide our troops. Just like that battle, he still used sharp soldiers to harass us, and continued to observe and collect information. Our intelligence."

In that battle, General Geralt actively complied with the enemy's plan and turned the enemy into the main. Through the information gap, the enemy misjudged the number of the United Fleet, and used the empty Sira as a bait to lure the enemy's main force into a pincer attack and then won the victory. Everyone knows, but the same trick cannot be used a second time, not to mention that the current situation is completely different from that of Sira.

"From this familiar opening gesture, if I'm not mistaken, the offender is still our old friend Matthew Bunker...Well, it's a pity that Geralt and General Ratonova are not here, I I feel like the two of them will have more in common with Matthew than I will."

General Minami Kitazawa's words sound like a joke, but if the joke is said in an extremely calm manner, it will give people an inexplicable sense of depression.And General Nanbeize finally stopped staring at the star map:

"If I were him, I wouldn't waste time with these meaningless scams. He knows time is precious, so be prepared, it will be very intense...Of course, if the direction of the Tiancang galaxy really has Such good words."

---

"The People's Federation has yet to respond, has not detected traces of troop movements, and has not detected signs of an ambush so far."

"The analysis of the gravitational coefficient of Tiancang-[-] star has been completed, the gravitational model of Tiancang-[-] has not been established, and the facilities in the ring belt of the People's Union continue to emit disturbing gravitational fluctuations, and it is impossible to accurately locate..."

"Enough is enough, we have to hurry up, the enemy may deploy more troops through the portal at any time, we have to hurry up, this will be the only chance to drive the Renlian out of our territory!"

"For the sake of the Republican Army, open the impact point channel! Since you can't lure and annihilate some enemies, eat them head-on!"

In the pitch-black universe, where a wave of fake jumping signals has filled the space with the sound of gravitational tides, an astonishing number of wormhole signals appeared again.

Like raindrops falling on the lake, countless fine ripples were knocked out.The light of the stars is distorted in a large area here, and the distortion of space from this hazy stretching thousands of kilometers has reached the extreme with time!

This time, all the human-linked sensors issued a warning, and there was no sign of reaching the peak and then subsiding. After a feint shot, one battleship after another with strong and murderous spirits drove out of the distorted space!

There are so many of them, and they cover all types Renlian knows.Battleships with hundreds of main guns all over their bodies, cruisers as slender as a spine, and destroyers that are light, flexible, and extremely fast-accelerating—these ships are all painted with golden Republican emblems on their fronts, which is a raging fire , and it’s not just the old three. Among these ships, there are quite a few wide-body deck ships, which seem to be modified from large civilian transport ships. A small spacecraft with a length of more than [-] meters——

Yes, this spaceship is really small, so small that it must be impossible to install the impact point engine on the ship, and its reactor must not be able to carry the wormhole generator.So they travel across the distant void in the same way that they are huddled inside another large ship.But once these spaceships leave the mother ship, their engines can provide more acceleration than large spaceships due to their smaller mass, so once these small spaceships take off in dozens, this makes the optical observation scale of the Republic fleet It swelled 5-6 times in an instant!

These shuttle-shaped small spaceships are different from fighter jets, and they are also different from anti-aircraft gunships like the Tarantula, because the biggest factor that divides them into boats and ships comes from weapons. These small spaceships carry very few people, but each has a Charged particle cannons, and the vertical launch missile unit around the hull - the body shape is almost the same as that of Renlian's Thunder-class, and the positioning seems to be almost the same.

"The attack fleet has arrived, the target, the Human Alliance Stargate, and all live ammunition weapons are ready for stand-off strike!"

Standoff shooting...that's an Army term, but it's perfectly appropriate to use it in space.Because Sir Newton has already defined that an object always maintains a state of uniform linear motion or a static state until an external force forces it to change this state.In a vacuum without friction, and the target is a stationary target like a star, then there is no need to consider the amount of advance, and there is no need to risk entering the shooting range of Renlian.Calculate the trajectory, and fire directly at this place with a distance of more than 40 kilometers!

Hundreds of warships, thousands of heavy guns, and tens of thousands of artillery fires are gathered into billions of stars, all for one goal!

PS: To be honest, the horn is a bit urgent, but it is not stable enough. I am not very satisfied with the content today. So, I will work harder tomorrow!

Dear readers, please call for tickets~ There are still 21 days before the end of this volume.

Chapter [270] Sitting firmly in the Chinese army (today's first update)

The stargate glowed above Tiancang II.

The light was hazy, with dark red spirals.Just as everything in this universe is rotating, there is no absolute stillness, and the solar system also revolves around the center of the galaxy, all light—whether it is the star Tiancang-yi, or the dark and deep wormhole that supports it The light released from the maintained stargate skeleton is being attracted by this wormhole.The artificial semi-permanently fixed singularity is restless. It communicates the two worlds, and when the matter on both sides travels freely, it also interacts with the energy of the two worlds and emits those energies in the form of radiation.

Therefore, although the universe is dark, the star gate is a dazzling creation of this galaxy, which cannot be concealed. Its position in space and the intense radiation it emits are like the most eye-catching lighthouse of this galaxy besides the stars. So as long as you follow the light of the lighthouse, you will be able to reach...

There are tens of thousands of records, like a rain of bullets rushing to the Milky Way is rushing along this road that must be hit!Even if the many warships that have just emerged from the darkness have not fully seen the environment they are in, this does not prevent them from mobilizing all their firepower under a unified order and a single direction-hundreds of ships armed to the teeth The heavy artillery standing on their multi-layered decks has endured this battle for a long time. Compared with his companions, the admiral understands the value of the battleship better than anyone else, so the admiral also gathered People's Federation has never seen such a huge scale, and vowed to carry out the advantages of firepower to the end!

So even if all the other ships don't move, the firepower of these more than 100 battleships seems to engulf everything in front of them!These battleships are of various types, and the main force of the backbone is undoubtedly the active equipment of the UEG fleet in the past. There are also many old-fashioned ships that have been in service for a long time and have been reactivated from the graves of retired ships, but what is more eye-catching is the number of There are quite a few new battleships—the appearance of the battleships of the Union Defense Forces has always given people the feeling of a space submarine, but compared with their predecessors, these new battleships are much smaller, perhaps because most of the unnecessary functions have been reduced. It also reduces costs and increases production.This is not surprising given that the upper quadrant occupied by the Republicans was once UEG's most fertile area, with huge industries.

The only thing that these new ships have not reduced is undoubtedly the artillery fire on the ships.This is still a firepower hedgehog, still cannon fire and has a faster rate of fire than other old ships!This may come from the study of Renlian ships. Renlian has always preferred smaller caliber rapid-fire guns in terms of kinetic energy weapons. The shells are smaller but have faster acceleration due to the same output and acceleration path. The speed is Quality, Renlian's electromagnetic ion reconnection gun is a plagiarized UEG, so why not the Republican Army copying Renlian?

"Bombard the fleet, keep maneuvering while maintaining orderly firing, and let our artillery fire spread from all angles."

The salvos of the battleships were very orderly, and none of the artillery fired earlier or later.In the neat and orderly fleet, every time the ion cannonballs are fired, the flashes are like a solar flare. This flash will appear every few seconds. The "wall" composed of high-temperature and high-speed ion shells pushed towards itself—it was too dense, tens of thousands of shells advanced together along a carefully calculated trajectory, and finally squeezed into a place the size of a few square kilometers, which was simply unstoppable. No ship of the People's League will dare to face this terrifying barrage!

The enemy's bombardment is not limited to this. The formation of this battleship is well-trained, and their actions are uniform. Each ship is using optical communication to transmit orders to each other. In this way, mutual questions and answers are used to ensure orders.The light replaced the radio, which can also be seen when the People's Federation used laser communication to resist interference when defending against nuclear flash bombs. The Republican Army also learned it. If the radio is not turned on, there will be no interference or hijacking Danger—Have you prepared for the SUPP's electronic warfare capabilities?

Under the optical communication, this fleet that looks like a whole is actively advancing towards the Stargate Space while shooting. Their route is not a straight road, so this also makes the bombardment of this fleet relatively insignificant compared to the defense line of the People's League. Forming different waves of strikes from different directions, if the People's Federation has any defensive means, then they will not be able to concentrate on responding to one direction.Moreover, the bombardment of the battleship fleet is divided into groups in addition to all salvos, so from the sensors of the People's Federation, it seems that the artillery fire is endless, and the defenders around the star gate are inevitable!

"The orbit is calculated... It is expected to hit the star gate in 58 minutes."

The projectile flying beyond the fourth cosmic speed is free from any hindrance in the vacuum and has the right of priority to pass.Nothing can hinder it except the gravity of the stars.And even the gravitational force of stars is also included in their calculations - there is no need to be surprised. In the 21s, the orbit of Mars in half a year can be calculated and the probe can be safely sent to Mars 20 million kilometers away. For two interstellar civilizations, a mere 40 kilometers away hits a ring-shaped building with a diameter of 600 meters after an hour of flight, which is almost no different from a sniper shooting a fixed target.People's Federation is well aware of this, and People's Federation seems to be unable to do anything right now.

The enemy can shoot at the immobile stargate 40 kilometers away, but the Renlian cannot shoot at the enemy ship 40 kilometers away.The Hammer of Dawn will not be more effective than a flashlight at this distance, let alone ordinary shells-a red hit countdown is marked on the command hall by the AI, and there is not much time left for the United Nations.

"The garrison fleet, don't move."

General Namkitazawa stood in front of the star map like a piece of wood, surrounded by many fleet officers around this circular device. This time, perhaps because the commander had seen through an enemy's deception, these soldiers no longer There is no hesitation in the lieutenant general's order.Those aggressive captains began to be cautious, and took a look at the scale of the enemy's dispatch. If they took the initiative to attack, the best result would be empty-handed, and the worst possible result would be to be surrounded by the enemy. Therefore, follow the order and defend the fleet Depart from the port and gather in the airspace between Tiancang 12 and Stargate.A total of [-] Twilight-class ships are not enough to look at in front of the enemy's large forces. If they are to play a role, it must also be a suitable time.

At this time, the signal sent earlier was also answered, and Nanbei Ze received an order for himself: "General Olivia's order - the garrison must guard the star gate at all costs, the main fleet is gathering, but the commander has other arrangements , will not rush to the Tiancang galaxy."

It is expected that the main fleet will not rescue. The Tiancang galaxy is 24 light-years away from the solar system. Even if the flagship uses a wormhole to rush back here, it will take [-] hours to prepare.However, since the commander had already seen the scale of the enemy's attack, the words "other arrangements" couldn't help but make Nanbei Ze's eyes light up.

"Call back Commander Olivia, I will guard the star gate, and our enemies will not be able to leave completely—may the astrolabe guide the way."

"May the astrolabe guide, sir...do we still need to contact Admiral Geralt and Lieutenant General Latoroy?"

"The commander has his own arrangements, and the two generals have their own judgments. As the galaxy defenders, we only need to do one thing."

Nanbei Ze didn't show a worried expression at all. This composure infected the subordinates around him. He operated on the console and called the local interferon sub-unit. In terms of the specific defense plan, this highly modified commander seemed to be Already, and more accustomed to dealing with AI intelligence.

"The enemy gave us 58 minutes, which is very generous. As a response, I need everyone to search again for the precious wealth left by our industry and research department - our original plan was before Tiancang II was strengthened. enacted, I don't think it's effective enough. So for the next half hour, I'm asking everyone to keep in mind what we have."

A war never decides the outcome in an instant. What the executor of the war needs is long-term patience and making effective choices in repeated decisions.These effective actions will accumulate into a trickle of advantages.This subsides, another grows, and when the battle finally enters the thunderous blow that determines the outcome, these subtle differences may become the key to the outcome.

The saying that whoever makes fewer mistakes wins is no longer suitable for this era. There is no room for mistakes in the star sea, or in other words, there is no time for you to consider how to avoid mistakes.You also have to make the right choice almost instinctively - although most of the time...

We have no choice.

"There is still no movement in the People's Federation position!"

"Which one is this, an empty city plan?"

"I hope so, but I don't believe that as long as we rush to win, at least we have room to turn around at the moment."

In the center of the lineup of the main battleships, the "Moby Dick" was one of the ships carrying out the bombardment.Just as its owner said, this time their commander will not hide in a distant place to watch them fight, he will be with everyone, this is the general's promise to all those who trust him.But the general did it. This man with eagle eyes was at the forefront of the battle just like his ships. Here, the ship, and all of the fleet will follow fearlessly.

General Matthew did not correct the remarks of his subordinates, but if this battle has just begun, his own people are full of doubts, which can't help but make people worry...

"The battle ahead is still long."

The admiral coughed a few times, the man left the podium, returned to his seat, and signaled everyone to find a place to rest like him, and stop thinking about it.After all, the People's Federation will never act in the way you imagine.

He squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "I still have time, let me take a rest first, and you all proceed according to the plan."

"Yes, sir!"

PS: Seven years ago, during the lunar battle, the Renlian did not do its best. A Beta brain-level escaped after entering the speed of light. overshadowed.Because it is still in wartime, it is not possible to invest much in the exploration plan of the black barrier.

This doesn't mean we forgot - but no one has ever worried that beta will become a serious problem for the People's Federation. We just hope that these miners can mine more resources for us, and...
