By the time everything was ready, a week had passed before I knew it.
The two bases are initially on the right track, and the deployment and reorganization of personnel have come to an end. The Doomsday Shadow Fortress has been handed over to Wilson, leaving 4,000 soldiers. Base No. 2 is headed by Chu Jungui himself, and the main equipment and productivity are gradually relocated here. The total number of personnel in Base 2 reached 8,000. Although most of them were soldiers who surrendered from Yifenghua, with Chu Jungui and Li Ruobai's comfort, they were not afraid of any trouble.
Just when Chu Jungui thought everything was ready, an accident happened.
When he returned to the Doomsday Shadow Fortress for the third time and prepared to take Kai Tian to Base No. 2, he suddenly found that all the relay stations along the way were destroyed, and the destruction was so complete that there was basically no trace left. If it weren't for a certain Two fragments of the relay station were left behind, and Chu Jungui almost thought that the entire relay station had been stolen.
Examination of the fragments showed that the relay station was torn apart and devoured by war beasts. I think the same is true for other relay stations, but they are eaten more thoroughly, not even a bit of dregs is left.
Chu Jungui originally thought that these relay stations could drive away the beast tide and create a small safe area for the daily commuting convoys between the two bases. However, the result was that the war beasts were summoned to attack, and the war beasts attracted went crazy.
After an in-depth discussion with Xiao Kaitian, Chu Jungui suddenly understood what was going on. The fluctuations emitted by the relay station are inaudible to human ears and only affect war beasts. In the feeling of a war beast, it is equivalent to hearing continuous noise harassment, which will become unbearable for a long time. Most people's idea is to stay as far away as possible until they can no longer hear. However, the war beasts are all irritable and fierce, and they will not run away when they hear something disturbing, they will only think about chewing up the source of all evil. Even the metal parts were swallowed alive, regardless of whether they could be digested or not.
After finding the reason, Chu Jungui and Kaitian reset the frequency. The shock waves at this frequency are no longer so harsh, but soft, low, and continuous. To the war beast, it sounds like an old monk chanting sutras, chattering endlessly. As the saying goes, if you are annoyed but not impatient, you can only stay away.
After the new relay station was built, Chu Jungui went all out to expand production capacity and prepare for the next transaction with Tianyu.
Outside the galaxy, a small fleet of three starships was patrolling.
In the bridge of the frigate on the left, Lin Xi stood in front of the command platform, staring at the star map on the platform, thinking deeply. She has a tall and straight posture, a serious face, obvious bloodshot eyes, and a tired look on her face. A young officer walked over quietly and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, it's time for you to take a rest."
Lin Xi looked at the star map intently and said without raising his head, "I'm fine. Enemy ships are likely to be encountered in this area. Send an order for the entire ship to enter Level 2 combat readiness."
The young officer was startled, "Level 2 combat readiness? Is it too early? There is no sign of the enemy appearing now."
"Excuting an order!"
The young officer looked at Lin Xi's profile, with a faint fire in his eyes, and said, "I just want to help you. In fact, there is no need for you to make yourself so tired. If you don't get a good rest, girls will age quickly. .”
Lin Xi finally raised his head, glanced at the young officer coldly, and said, "Execute the order, and then I don't want to hear any more words that have nothing to do with your duties."
"Uh, yes, Lieutenant Colonel." The young officer saluted and left the bridge.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "If it weren't for the fact that you are pretty and for the sake of your uncle, would I tolerate you like this? Just wait, sooner or later I will accept you. you!"
He spat and hurried away.
Suddenly, a hurried announcement sounded in the starship: "Enemy ship found, everyone enters first-level combat readiness!"
All the crew members were like clockwork in an instant, and their movements were a few beats faster. Many people rushed out of the rest cabin and went straight to their fighting positions, not daring to waste a second. The war has been going on for several months, and everyone knows that this is no child's play. The consequences of laziness will cost the lives of the entire ship.
The starships that originally maintained a tight formation spread out and formed a battle formation, and multiple flashing light spots appeared in the deep sky ahead, approaching quickly. One after another, the Federation starships dragged long strips of light and approached at high speed. In the blink of an eye, they dropped from sublight speed to combat speed.
The star map in front of Lin Xi has been switched to combat command mode. Enemy starships appeared on the star map one by one. In the blink of an eye, 8 starships appeared!
"How come there are so many enemy ships in this star field?" Lin Xi frowned and quickly zoomed in on the movement trajectory of the enemy fleet.
An image of a middle-aged soldier appeared on the side of the podium, wearing a colonel's uniform. He quickly ordered: "I will detour to the enemy's left wing, and the No. 2 and No. 3 ships will follow my actions."
Lin Xi was pulling the enemy fleet's trajectory forward at this time, and a coordinate jumped into his field of vision.
At this time, the colonel continued to order: "Keep a distance from the enemy fleet and prepare to intercept and fire! Accelerate and enter sublight speed in ten minutes."
The star map clearly shows the trajectory of the command. Lin Xi's squadron will pass by the side of the federal fleet, circle to the rear, and then enter sub-light speed navigation. Navigating at sublight speed means leaving the battlefield. This seems understandable, and retreating in the face of a superior enemy is a wise move.
The bridge shook slightly, and Lin Xi's frigate automatically adjusted its direction and followed the flagship into the enemy's rear. But she still stood still, staring closely at the star map in front of her.
Lin Xi's eyes moved to the coordinates at the end of the federal fleet's track. Suddenly his face changed and he said loudly: "We can't break away, we must entangle them!"
The colonel was very surprised and said loudly: "This is impossible! We don't have the strength at all. We are lucky to be able to retreat safely."
Lin Xi said quickly: "They will jump at this coordinate. The real target is the mobile base behind us!"
"So what? There's no way we can stop them."
"But we can hold them off, it doesn't take long, half an hour, just half an hour! We can send the battle report, and the rear can get early warning and prepare."
The colonel shook his head and said: "It's completely unnecessary. Besides, how could they know the coordinates of our base? Lieutenant Colonel Lin, you are overthinking."
Lin Xi said: "I don't know how they got the coordinates, but their goal is probably the mobile base, otherwise they would not go in that direction."
Lin Xi's words were interrupted by a violent vibration. A large ray of light lit up on the virtual porthole of the starship. An extremely dazzling light band poured into everyone's eyes, as if to wrap up the entire universe. The first round of the federal starship fleet The volley had arrived.
