Zhang Desen flew to the back of the moon as planned, and as time passed, it was night on Earth.
But at the same time, on board the Conquest, the flagship of the Atlantean space fleet, which was located near the orbit of the moon. Jeff Cole, the squadron leader who previously led the battle squadron to hunt down Zhang Desen and Li Longfang, is being received by Gejin Guluo, the commander of the space fleet and the captain of the "Conquest" in this battle.
However, this interview was not necessarily very honorable. At this time, Gejin Guluo asked:
"Are you kidding me? Does the other side really only have one space fighter?"
Jeff Cole lowered his head and said:
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Gejin Guluo said:
"Cole, although you are still only a squadron leader, your combat experience should be quite high, right? Your service history is also not short!"
Jeff Cole lowered his head even further and said:
"I am very ashamed, but I ask for another chance. I will personally avenge my dead brothers. That enemy plane must still be on the moon..."
Gejin Guluo interrupted him and said:
"Are you sure that the fighter plane is still hiding on the moon?"
Jeff Cole said:
"Yes, I must kill him with my own hands and never let him go."
Gejin Guluo said:
"It's good to have this determination, but I hope to see the results. You have made many contributions to Atlantis when we fought against the Atlantis Empire in the east. I hope you are worthy of your honor. Understand ?"
Jeff Cole stood at attention and replied:
"Yes, understand!"
Gejin Guluo thought for a while and said:
"Well, I'm giving you a chance now. There is a combat group with 3 squadrons and a total of 30 fighter planes. It is missing a group captain. You go and act as the group captain. It will be ready to go within an hour. You Are you confident of victory?"
Jeff Cole said firmly:
"some."
Gejin Guluo said:
"Okay, let's get ready now."
"yes!"
Soon, Jeff Cole arrived at the battle group to prepare. An hour later, he led the team to fly to the moon again and flew to the far side.
…
Of course, Zhang Desen, who was on the far side of the moon at this time, had no idea that Jeff Cole would make a comeback so quickly and lead the team to catch up. At this time, Zhang Desen took advantage of the sunshine and sufficient solar energy to go on a journey on the far side of the moon.
But Li Longfang remained sitting on the tail gun, ready to respond to the enemy at any time.
Zhang Desen drove the spacecraft at this time, and after crossing the North Pole of the moon, he first arrived at the Zomerfold Crater, then flew to the Parkhof Crater, and then to the Roland Crater - D'Alembert Crater - Campbell Crater - H. G. Wells Crater - Moscow Sea - Komarov Crater - Drampla Crater - Fitzgerald Crater - Mach Crater - Poynting Crater - Herzshbrenger —Korolev—Doppler—Ikarus—Aitken—Black Poside—Kira—Gagarin—Banderclough—Oppenheimer—Apollo—Nishina—Von Kalman Finally Arrive at Puankare Crater.
In this way, Zhang Desen's flight route on the back of the moon basically formed a Z-shaped route. Along the way, Zhang Desen kept introducing his knowledge of the moon to Li Longfang, including the theory of the moon's origin, the moon's gravity, and the moon's resources. Li Longfang's understanding of the moon is like filling a pot with a hanging pot
Overall, my knowledge has been broadened a lot.
After arriving at Puankare Crater, Zhang Desen looked at the energy meter and time, thought for a while and said to Li Longfang:
"Long Fang, let's go directly to the South Pole. Now that the energy replenishment has been completed, do you think this is feasible?"
Li Longfang said:
"I also think it is feasible. We have been away too far and for too long, and we have enough energy. It is better to go directly to the South Pole."
"Okay, let's go!"
Soon, Zhang Desen immediately drove the spacecraft towards the south pole of the moon.
However, Zhang Desen did not know that his spacecraft had just flown over Puankare Crater.
At the same time, Jeff Cole, the acting captain of Atlantis's 5th Space Combat Group, also led his new space combat group across the North Pole of the moon and began tracking.
In the previous battle, Jeff Cole saw that the engine of Zhang Desen's spacecraft might be a pulse plasma engine, so no matter how far it flew, in such a short time Inside, the residual plasma left by its spacecraft engine must still be preserved in the places where it flew.
Therefore, when he led the new team to use plasma tracking equipment, they began to follow the plasma traces left by Zhang Desen's spacecraft, vowing to take revenge.
However, what Jeff Cole thought was basically correct. The main engine of Zhang Desen's spacecraft was indeed a pulse plasma engine.
Moreover, in order to facilitate Zhang Desen to replenish fuel on site during the voyage to meet the needs of the spacecraft.
Therefore, in addition to being equipped with a certain amount of spare solid polytetrafluoroethylene to facilitate Zhang Desen to replenish energy at any time, this spacecraft can pass through the solar wind, the ionosphere in the atmosphere, the tail of comets, and other places with plasma. Directly replenish enough plasma fuel for the spacecraft to meet the energy and flight fuel needs of the spacecraft.
It is even possible to use the equipment on the spacecraft to decompose water and any decomposable tissue into plasma to directly replenish the plasma fuel for the spacecraft.
However, at this time, Zhang Desen did not know that the plasma contrail had been tracked. When he drove the spacecraft near the South Pole of the moon, he linked to the previous terrorist satellite again in order to see the development of the current situation.
Not to mention, the two sides actually fought to a close. It's just that Zhang Desen doesn't know who has more backup from the Terrorists and the Atlanteans.
If it is the Anthropos, Zhang Desen has a rough understanding of the Terror's war potential through the Terror's network, but now Zhang Desen cannot understand the Atlanteans' war potential, because He doesn't know much about the Terror either.
However, these are not very important now, but Zhang Desen must find a way to get home now, but now he may have to wait. Fortunately, the spacecraft has sufficient oxygen, as well as other resources.
Zhang Desen said to Li Longfang:
"Long Fang, is there nothing unusual in the rear?"
Li Longfang said:
"There are no abnormalities, just endless space and craters under the sun."
Zhang Desen said:
"Okay, maybe we have to wait a little longer."
Li Longfang asked:
"Are they still fighting?"
Zhang Desen said:
"Yes, we've all wandered around the far side of the moon, and they're still fighting."
Li Longfang said:
"But that's good, otherwise we might be discovered by them."
Zhang Desen said:
"But I think we'd better go to Tycho."
Li Longfang said:
"Why?"
Zhang Desen said:
"Because the reflection there is relatively large when viewed from a distance, it is very inconvenient to observe from a distance. Going there can reduce the probability of being discovered. In addition, it is located on the front side of the moon, allowing us to communicate with the earth and pass data The collection device secretly uses terrorist satellites to observe the enemy's situation, because we do not have Sun satellites in the moon's orbit to help us relay signals..."
Then, Zhang Desen changed his tone and continued:
"Another most critical point is that when we first entered the lunar orbit, there was a mysterious signal telling us to go to Tycho crater."
Li Longfang said with some worry:
"Desen, could this be a trap set by the enemy to lure us into taking the bait?"
Zhang Desen said:
"Probably not, otherwise those enemy planes wouldn't have followed at that time. But no matter what, we won't know what's going on if we don't go and take a look. Even if it's a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, we have to break into it. "
Li Longfang said:
"In that case, let's set off."
Zhang Desen said:
"Okay, wait..."
Suddenly, the radar screen showed 31 unidentified aircraft.
The objects are following the spacecraft. This is the tracking force led by Jeff Cole, but Zhang Desen does not know it is them. But this also made Zhang Desen just want to curse, saying:
"Someone is actually following me."
Li Longfang was shocked and said:
"What, how do they know where we are?"
Zhang Desen said:
"No matter, let me activate the plasma invisibility and set off immediately to the Tycho crater. You sit tight."
Li Longfang said:
"yes!"
Soon, Zhang Desen quickly activated the plasma cloaking device, started the thruster, and headed straight for Tycho Crater.
And Jeff Cole finally saw Zhang Desen's spacecraft on the radar screen, and couldn't help but said happily:
"Haha, I finally found you. Let's see where you run."
Then Jeff Cole ordered to each team:
"The enemy is right ahead. Everyone, hurry up and follow them. We must catch them."
The pilots of the entire group responded collectively:
"yes!"
Although Jeff Cole's radar system could no longer find the location of Zhang Desen's spacecraft after Zhang Desen activated the plasma cloaking device, he thought in his heart:
"Have you activated the cloaking device? Haha, no matter what cloaking device you use, I already know you are in front. As long as your plasma thruster is working, I can find you, hahahahaha!!!"
While Zhang Desen continued to fly the spaceship towards Tycho Crater, Jeff Cole also regrouped the remaining squadrons of space fighters and chased Zhang Desen's space fighter.
After flying another distance, Zhang Desen immediately stopped flying and ascended to the top of the mountain. Since he had been exposed, fortunately he flew openly, so he could go faster.
But the power system of Atlantis's space fighter was probably too advanced or something. It often flew too fast during battles and was unable to turn in time. However, they soon caught up with Zhang Desen's spacecraft. and opened fire.
