Liu Hanyang flies out
Three hours after the "Taimiao", Zhou Yun reunited with Li Sujia. The 200 combat robots she and Xiao Hang brought were also incorporated into the task force led by Li Sujia.
No matter the reason, it fulfills its mission. Two more hours later, Li Sujia received a message sent via a quantum encryption channel from Liu Hanyang, who was pursuing him.
At first, she and Zhou Yun didn't plan to respond, but they couldn't resist Liu Hanyang's crazy message sending. In order to ensure that the signal would not be intercepted by the Taibo people, they had to stop the ship and wait.
After the meeting, there were no too many words, no accusations, or over-exaggeration of the task. There was only eye contact. The moment when several pairs of eyes stared at each other was enough to bring tears to each other's eyes.
The task force continues to fly towards the Lutan 726-6 star system. Difficulties and obstacles await them. It may be a journey with no return, and it may cost everyone's life.
Dangerous and full of variables. At the same time that Liu Hanyang sent a request to Li Sujia through the quantum encryption channel to stop the ship and wait for the signal, the voyage fleet also intercepted the signal, and it was quickly delivered to Snate's hands.
Snate stared at the intercepted information calmly. After thinking for a moment, a cold light burst out from his eyes.
He called Gong Ze, who looked surprised after reading the intercepted information. He never expected Liu Hanyang to be so stubborn and reckless.
At this point, he didn't want to explain too much to Snate. He just said lightly that Liu Hanyang was not suitable for this mission. The implication was that either Li Sujia or Zhou Yunzhong was more suitable than him.
Snate smiled calmly after hearing this, and did not seem to blame Miyazawa. He ordered to open the back door of the task force's quantum communication and broadcast the task force's position information to the universe in clear code.
Miyazawa was horrified. This was obviously going to kill Liu Hanyang and the others. Once the clear signal was intercepted, what awaited them would be a brutal attack and encirclement until they were all destroyed.
Miyazawa felt funny and unreasonable. According to what he said, the task was not completed yet, so how could he cut off his own arm?
He showed great resistance and firmly opposed the issuance of the order. Surprisingly, Snet was unusually calm. He only said one sentence and left him speechless.
After Snet left, Miyazawa thought about his words repeatedly: If you understand the difference between the small self and the big self, you will make the same final choice as me.
Suddenly, Miyazawa suddenly realized that he understood Snart's true intention. Snart's approach was nothing more than sacrificing the task force's
"Ego" to protect the voyage fleet this
"Big I". Snart did not have high hopes for the mission to seize the Gate of Time and Space in the Lutan 726-6 star system. According to his understanding, for such an important facility, the Tiberians would definitely send heavy troops to handle it, just a task force. There is no way to compete with it.
Of course, seeing Liu Hanyang's confident and confident momentum, he didn't want to pour cold water. After all, staying in Wolf 359 for the voyage fleet was not a long-term solution. The next step of the fleet was also a problem he urgently needed to solve.
Isn't it a good thing to find a bright future for the expedition fleet at the expense of a task force?
But once the whereabouts of the former are exposed, it will undoubtedly be devastating to the latter who are close at hand. Liu Hanyang's behavior of sending signals through the quantum encryption channel undoubtedly increased the risk of exposure. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
Broadcasting the location information of the task formation is equivalent to letting it act as an early warning device for the expedition fleet. Its safety is an early warning signal. Once it is attacked, the expedition fleet will receive the early warning as soon as possible and then quickly React.
Situation 1: The gate of time and space is not activated, that is, the Tiberians have no reinforcements. The voyage fleet will wait for opportunities based on the battle situation between the task force and the Tiberians guarding force.
Scenario 2: The gate of time and space is activated, the Tiberian reinforcements arrive, and the voyage fleet evacuates immediately after receiving the early warning.
Of course, even if the task formation's position information is broadcast now, it will take a year for the signal to reach the Lutan 726-6 star system, which means that during this period, the task formation is safe.
There are variables in one year, and many things will change. Within one year, regardless of the factors of the Tiberians activating the gate of time and space to send additional reinforcements, whether they are on the way or fighting the guard forces after arriving at their destination, the task force will be discovered by the opponent and suffer a devastating blow.
Since the result is the same, it doesn't matter whether to send or not, and when to send the task formation's location information. This is Snett's logic.
A distance of 1 light-year is still very far for this task force, which is composed of small interstellar spacecraft and space vehicles that have been modified to increase their range. In addition, the acceleration and deceleration time will take nearly 3 years to finally arrive. .
Maybe the Tiberians disdain to attack this weak formation, or maybe the defense force guarding the gate of time and space is enough to eliminate them. Although the formation's location coordinates have been exposed as soon as it sets off, fortunately, it has not been attacked in three years.
Time flies, and the stars move quickly. In a flash, the task force has sailed in the deep and empty starry sky for more than 1,000 Earth days. When the red and violent appearance of a red dwarf star appeared on the interstellar navigation screen of the task force, Liu Hanyang and others understood that they had finally arrived in the Lutan 726-6 star system.
According to star information obtained from previous detections, Rutan 726-6 is a red dwarf star that is still in its youth, but its furious star surface is often wreaked by violent prominences.
Like a drunk who keeps vomiting, it continuously sprays solar storms and gamma ray bursts into space, with the highest intensity reaching hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Obviously, the space-time gate built by the Tiber aliens absorbed a large amount of its energy, causing it to accelerate towards the end of the star's evolution. A red dwarf star that was supposed to have an ultra-long life and was relatively stable was gradually approaching the end of its life.
But the strange thing is that Liu Hanyang and the others found no trace of the space-time gate, which is contrary to the results they detected when approaching the star. Previous detections showed that the space-time gate is on the outer orbit of Lutan 726-6 .
The mystery was finally solved when the task force entered from the star's ecliptic plane. Lutan 726-6 has no planets, but what surprised Liu Hanyang and others was that there was a huge unidentified aircraft near it, which was constantly rotating around the star.
Outside the unidentified craft, that is, in an orbit about 12 million kilometers away from the star, is the space-time gate that Liu Hanyang and the others have been waiting for for a long time. It is like a planet orbiting the star quietly.
The reason why it has not been seen before is because it has a planet-like orbit. When the task force entered from the ecliptic plane of the star, it happened to be on the other side of the star.
The Gate of Time and Space is a perfect circle. It is like a round tube with no thickness, bright and flashing arc light. When viewed from the side, it looks like a light tunnel with arc light and cloud waves, beautiful and unpredictable.
At first glance, it looks like a star with a hollow interior, with only a ray of light radiating around it, as beautiful as a total solar eclipse.
But if you look carefully, the glare not only outlines the overall outline of the Gate of Time and Space, but also causes a strong lighting contrast inside it, like a terrifying black hole.
Everyone stood in front of the portholes and stared quietly at the seemingly beautiful but terrifying hell-like door to time and space. They were hesitant, fearing that the Tiberian guard force would suddenly appear near the formation or launch a destruction attack on them. sexual assault.
"For safety reasons, a few detectors should be released." Xiao Hang said worriedly.
"It's not necessary. At this distance, the Taibo people must have discovered us long ago. If they wanted to attack, they should have been dispatched long ago." Li Sujia said.
"You mean the Taibo people are not equipped with a guard force?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Not necessarily, but what is certain is that they may have stronger defense facilities."
"Powerful defense facilities! What do you think it will be?" Liu Hanyang asked with interest. Li Sujia glanced at Liu Hanyang and felt that at this juncture, he was acting so boldly and even a little cynical. It felt like he was not discussing the enemy's situation, but testing her.
In her cold eyes, Liu Hanyang seemed to realize his problem, curled his lips, and looked back at the slowly moving door of time.
"I think we should send a team of mechas to act as bait and go deep into the gate of time and space to test the reaction of the Taibo people?" Liu Hanyang touched his chin and said to himself.
Obviously, his words were meant for Li Sujia. Looking at his serious look, Zhou Yunqi couldn't stop laughing...
"How can a team do this?" Li Sujia murmured. Soon, 5 teams with a total of 25 heavily equipped combat mechas flew out from the task force. They flew towards the gate of time and space at high speed in different directions... Since it was to test the reaction of the Tiberians, then... With the Gate of Time and Space as the center of the circle, test its reactions from different directions. Once the opponent launches an attack, their firepower deployment will be completely exposed.
Not only can the number and location of firepower points be tested, but their weak points can also be found. One minute later, a total of 25 heavily-equipped combat flying mechas from 5 teams approached the target. What shocked Li Sujia and others was that the mechas did not receive intensive firepower, but were smashed into pieces while traveling at high speed.
They seemed to have hit a protective barrier, like clusters of blooming space fireworks that disappeared in the splendor.
The sacrifices of the mechas were valuable. At the moment they exploded one after another, the undulating fireballs outlined the outline of the protective barrier outside the gate of time and space.
It is like a transparent sphere covering the outside of the gate of time and space, like an indestructible streamer shield, blocking all objects approaching it.
