The other members of the 7th Squadron had no objection to Fang Chen becoming the captain of the 5th Squadron as soon as he arrived. How could the Bachelor Commander have any objections?
If they are willing, they can apply to form their own team, but the bachelor commander still has to hang out with other people in the squadron. It has no effect at all, and he can't use the resources of his own team, which is a loss.
Fang Chen made some preparations and connected the communication to the temporary communication of the harvest fleet.
However, his fleet was not organized into it, but formed an independent team, one by one.
There is no way, he is now the fifth squad leader of the 7th Squadron, he is the captain, it is an independent combat unit, and he will be on his own team when the action comes.
Fortunately, Zhou Shaohang considered that he was now the only commander and allowed him to move with the main fleet.
Fang Chen was not polite, so the fleet hung behind the squadron and activated follow mode.
In this operation, Fang Chen's fleet included a total of 7 cruisers, 24 destroyers, 104 frigates, and 15 large and medium-sized industrial ships to carry the loot of robbery.
The first team and the third team came, but the second team and the fourth team were not there.
According to Zhou Shaohang, the second squadron and the fourth squadron were not of the same mind as him, but were arranged by another faction of the guild, a core member named Lu Guangren, who is now the deputy squadron leader of the seventh squadron and the captain of the second squadron.
There are two factions in a small squadron. It can only be said that the temple demon is very powerful. No matter how small the faction is, as long as there are people, there will be cliques.
The fleet did not alert anyone. After leaving the outpost for more than 10,000 kilometers, Zhou Shaohang sent a coordinate and agreed to meet at the target coordinate location in an hour.
Fang Chen entered the coordinates into the battleships, and the combat computer began to determine the coordinates after analysis, and the hyperspace engines of the ten battleships began to start.
After more than ten minutes of charging, ten warships of different sizes tore apart the space and entered the subspace. After a short stay, they tore the space apart again and left the subspace. They appeared in the material universe, but at this time they had crossed dozens of light years and appeared in the subspace. Another galaxy.
The principle of space jump is to tear apart space and enter subspace, use subspace to have no concept of time and space, transfer from subspace, tear apart space again and appear in the distant starry sky where the coordinates are located.
The subspace is infinitely close and infinitely far away. In theory, if you enter the subspace from your current location, as long as you have the exact coordinates and the jump engine is advanced enough, you can instantly jump to the center or edge of the river system.
After jumping to the location, Fang Chen found that he was the first to jump over and appeared directly in an unmanned starry sky. The coordinate anchor point was a meteorite disguised as an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft fixed in the starry sky.
After waiting for a while, the radar scanned the traces of space jump nearby, and soon Zhou Shaohang led the fleets of the 1st and 3rd squadrons of the 7th Squadron to rush over.
When the fleets gathered together, Zhou Shaohang sent Fang Chen a new star map and said:
"This is the territory of the Scarlet Pioneer Association, and it is also the territory of one of our guild's old enemies. The galaxies marked with red dots are their fixed territories. You open the star map. It shows the resource output and defense of each galaxy. Take a good look at the size of the fleet and the route they take to patrol it daily.”
"You can choose to act with us, but you must obey my command. In the end, the spoils will be distributed according to contribution."
"You can also move freely alone, and in the end all the spoils will be yours."
"By the way, this harvesting operation has been reported to the headquarters, so the loss report amount for this operation will be increased to 50%, but accordingly 20% of all harvests from this harvesting operation need to be handed over to the headquarters."
"Well...."
Fang Chen hesitated for a moment and replied:
"I'll follow the captain first and get familiar with him first."
"Can."
After a while, Zhou Shaohang sent another communication, moving his fleet to the rear. It was probably because he was watching his first harvesting activity, so he must not be familiar with it, so he was not allowed to go to the front line.
The galaxy they are currently in is located on the edge of the star field controlled by the Scarlet Pioneer. Next, they need to find a way to hide from the various monitoring facilities deployed by the Scarlet Pioneer at the hyperspace channel entrance of the galaxy controlled by their own forces and in the border galaxies. Enter the galaxy under surveillance, and then find ways to rob and destroy.
"Generally, there are only two ways. One is to force their way in when their patrol team is not around, and the other is to pass through the endless airspace between galaxies at super-light speed and enter the galaxy from the edge."
Zhou Shaohang explained to Fang Chen in the communication:
"The first type of battle is risky and there will definitely be a series of fierce battles."
"The second method has no risk, but it is very time-consuming. I will take you with me this time. We are going to take the second method this time."
As he spoke, he issued a series of orders to get everyone ready.
At this time, Fang Chen asked curiously:
"Can't you directly jump to the Scarlet Pioneer and control the interior of the star field? I see that there are coordinates of each star field they control on the star map?"
Zhou Shaohang laughed and said:
"Theoretically it is indeed possible to do this, but in practice it is impossible to make the jump."
"Any force will deploy various interference and interception systems in the galaxies under its direct control. Most of the interception levels are level six or above. With our strength, we cannot penetrate and jump over."
Fang Chen immediately asked:
"What if we could jump in directly?"
A middle-aged man in the channel laughed when he heard this:
"If we can jump in directly, that would be awesome. We can directly mobilize a large fleet to jump into their important galaxies to grab a wave of enemies. We can even directly raid their industrial galaxies, come and go freely, and drag them to death. "
"Well...."
Fang Chen touched his head, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
At this time, Zhou Shaohang asked casually:
"What, do you have that talent?"
Fang Chen immediately shook his head:
"How could I have."
Zhou Shaohang didn't think much and turned around to contact other team members to dispatch troops.
After Fang Chen closed the communication, his mind was still thinking about what Zhou Shaohang just said.
It seems that I can do this operation myself.
However, it is inconvenient for me to follow them now, so I can wait until I am strong enough before trying again.
Not long after, the fleet began to adjust its direction. A series of orders were issued from the command ship, and the fleet slowly moved forward.
At this time, Fang Chen's fleet was temporarily under the unified command of Zhou Shaohang, so at this time, his fleet no longer received his own skills and powerful talent bonuses, but Zhou Shaohang's skill bonuses, which can obviously feel much bulkier.
After a period of acceleration, the fleet slowly entered a sub-light speed state.
There was nothing he could do in this state, and Fang Chen couldn't do anything, so he simply lay down and slept.
Time passed, and a few days passed unknowingly. Fang Chen was awakened from his dormancy, and found that Zhou Shaohang was waking them up one by one, and told them that they had arrived at the predetermined location, which was one of the control systems of the Scarlet Pioneer Society.
"We are now outside the gravitational well No. 11 of the Scarlet Pioneer Society controls the galaxy. Next, we have to bypass the surveillance cameras all over the galaxy and sneak into the galaxy."
Zhou Shaohang said in the channel:
"Our goal this time is simple. To rob the Scarlet Pioneer at a mining base in this system."
At the same time, Fang Chen had previously received a red dot shining brightly on the star map, which was somewhere in the asteroid belt in the inner ring of the galaxy.
