The original purpose of this massive expedition was to capture those manned spaceships and the intelligent life forms of the weak third-level civilization, and then use them to build the scientific system of the third-level civilization.
The enemy must also be able to guess this purpose.
Then, our own side must be concerned about some of the enemy's methods, such as hiding the combat spaceship behind the manned spacecraft and using the manned spacecraft as a shield. If you encounter this situation, it will be very difficult.
A manned spacecraft can transport hundreds of millions of people. How many scientists are there among them? If it is broken, the losses will be heavy.
In order to deal with this situation, the expedition committee and Commander Lihua, including the staff, have formulated no fewer than dozens of combat plans, and the training of the soldiers has not stopped from the beginning of the expedition to the present.
Now, the enemy has actually completed the separation of the armed forces and the main body of the fleet...
Okay, there's really no point in thinking about it that much. Just think that the enemy is crazy. Anyway, no matter which aspect you look at, this matter is beneficial to your own side.
…
Time flies by. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since we were separated from the main body of civilization.
Aboard the "Comet" class combat spacecraft No. 3021, Li Heng, who was on alert and on duty, ate a bag of standard nutritional meals and complained in his mind that although this food could provide all the nutrients needed by the human body, it tasted just like... After taking a short break with the corn-mush-like food, he went to the exercise equipment and started today's restorative training.
All combat ships, regardless of level, have no gravity. Living in this environment for a long time is extremely harmful to the body. In order to stay healthy, he needs to wear elastic ropes and exercise on various machines for two to three hours every day.
During this process, the automatically operating remote detection equipment is always running, ensuring that any changes in the outside world can be discovered immediately, and then reported to him.
After the training, Li Heng started the next work.
He first came to the supply warehouse located at the back and top of the spacecraft shell and welded to the spacecraft, and counted the inventory of various supplies. Then began to check whether the various systems of the spacecraft were working properly. After finishing, he came to the slightly narrow cabin of the spaceship and came to the twelve hibernating cabins that were fixed to the wall of the spaceship and lined up in a row.
There are twelve hibernating cabins, eleven of which are currently in operation. Eleven of his comrades-in-arms are sleeping in it at the moment.
Li Heng woke up a month ago. He hasn't talked to anyone in a month now.
However, the reason why everyone is not awakened is because supplies are limited and must be used sparingly.
"It should be soon." Li Heng thought silently: "Before hibernation started, the enemy's spacecraft was still about a year away from us. Now, one year has passed, and they are almost here."
At that time, his comrades will wake up and join him in the battle.
After finishing today's work, Li Heng was free. He put on his spacesuit again, opened the hatch connecting the spacecraft to the outer space, and entered the interstellar space.
At this moment, the universe is vast and filled with thousands of stars. At this moment, except for the low sound of the spacesuit itself, there was no other movement.
It seemed that he was the only one left in the universe.
But... maybe this isn't just a feeling. But it's true to some extent.
Because he didn't know where his nearest companion who was still awake was. At the same time, he also knew that his companions who were awake would never know where he was.
The year-long random drift almost caused these spacecraft to completely deviate from the previously established routes and directions. At this moment, no one except the controller of each spacecraft knows where they are.
Different spacecrafts are also unable to communicate with each other, but maintain almost absolute radio silence. Because communication between spacecraft will have a greater probability of revealing one's own position.
A spaceship is like a lone wolf, quietly dormant in the dark universe, waiting for the arrival of prey.
Li Heng was floating in space, quietly staring in the direction in which the main body of civilization was retreating. But he only saw a patch of stars in that direction, and no shadow of the fleet at all.
At this moment, the main fleet of civilization is at least several billion kilometers away from him.
At this moment, such a small spaceship, which does not have any ability to produce materials on its own, has limited energy and material reserves, does not have the ability to travel between stars, and is completely unable to escape this sea of stars by its own strength, is just like this. "Abandoned" here.
There are thousands of spaceships that were "abandoned" here together with his own.
After watching and thinking for a long time, Li Heng returned to the cabin.
Such days continued for more than a month. Until one day, the device that had been tracking the location of the enemy's giant space vehicle reported a piece of data to Li Heng.
This data means that if the giant space vehicle still maintains its current course and acceleration, then in about twenty-three days, it will pass by about six million kilometers away from its current lurking position. Pass.
The relative speed is about 500 kilometers per second.
"Time is up."
Li Heng immediately pressed the wake-up button on the hibernation cabin. About an hour later, the eleven companions opened their eyes in a daze.
"Carry out restorative training immediately. Prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
Although their bodies were weak and their minds were confused, their comrades still subconsciously answered.
After a few more days, the comrades were completely restored to a healthy state. Under this situation, the most suitable fighter for this spacecraft finally arrived.
The war machine that had been dormant for more than a year finally started to move. Under the control of the soldiers, all work was carried out in an orderly manner. The driving crew is already in place, and the observation team, calculation team, emergency repair team, attack team, early warning team, and commander are also ready.
Following Li Heng's order, after the great technological development in the Lakai 9352 galaxy, the newly developed electromagnetic gun vibrated silently and ejected dozens of high-speed electromagnetic gun projectiles.
This is just the first attack. After that, the second time, the third time, the fourth time...
For each attack, based on the previously entered parameters, the electromagnetic gun control system will modify the advance data to ensure that one's own projectiles can hit the enemy as much as possible.
This newly developed and equipped electromagnetic gun can fire projectiles at speeds of up to thousands of kilometers per second. Coupled with the relative speed of our own fleet and the enemy's fleet at this moment, this speed is about 1,400 kilometers per second.
At this speed, each projectile with a mass of only 0.6 grams has a kinetic energy of about 600,000 kilojoules, which is roughly equivalent to the energy released by the explosion of 140 kilograms of TNT explosive.
And nearly a thousand such projectiles were released in this attack.
Moreover, these projectiles are specially designed for the current space weather environment. This allows them to be affected as little as possible by interstellar dust, radiation, etc., ensuring that their forward trajectory remains as accurate as possible, which can greatly improve the hit rate.
Now, like when we were still in the solar system, because they were tens of millions of kilometers apart from each other, it was impossible to launch electromagnetic cannon projectiles directly from the planet to attack the enemy planet. This no longer happens.
After this, the driving crew immediately took action. Under their control, the comet-class combat spacecraft began to accelerate in the same direction as the enemy's giant space vehicle at a very slow speed.
At this moment, these electromagnetic gun projectiles are still in flight and have not actually hit the enemy spacecraft. In fact, based on the current distance between the two sides, it will take about four days to know whether it has hit or not. But people don't stop here to observe the bombs.
At the tail of the spacecraft, the engine once again ejected a hot and bright plasma beam and began to push it forward slowly.
Although after data calculation, based on the distance at this moment, based on the jet power of the combat spacecraft engine, only if the power is above 10%, there is a slight chance that the enemy will remotely detect it, but the pilot crew still carefully controls the power within About 5%.
It doesn't matter if you accelerate slowly. As long as you can change your own coordinates and not be locked by the enemy, that's enough.
Shooting and changing places are the rules that must be followed in guerrilla warfare.
Li Heng knew in his heart that his small comet-class combat spacecraft only fired about a thousand electromagnetic gun pellets, and it was absolutely impossible to cause much damage to the enemy. To put it more pessimistically, it is doubtful whether it can hit the target.
But that doesn't worry him.
Because he knows that at this moment, hundreds of thousands of "lone wolves" lurking in this star field have made up their minds, even if they die here, even if they leave their lives in this vast space never again. Comrades who are unable to return home and must complete this strategic mission, those thousands of combat spaceships must have noticed the arrival of this enemy spacecraft.
At this moment, these thousands of spaceships, which are independent of each other, have no connection with each other, and do not belong to each other, and even friendly forces do not know their location, must have released tens or even hundreds of millions of electromagnetic cannon projectiles.
These electromagnetic gun projectiles must have enveloped every possible position of the enemy warship during this period of time.
Moreover, after this launch, each spacecraft will change its position, continue to hide, continue to lurk, and continue to freely attack this powerful enemy warship.
This is guerrilla warfare.
